The old man fell ill, he didn't manage the government for several days, and he never expressed his opinion on the Wolf Mountain fiasco, and when he was bedridden, he gave a strange edict that he was not allowed to enter the palace to accompany him, except for Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, two scholars, only Fang Bao could accompany him in front of the palace, and even Wen Da, Yin Tai and others, who were scholars, could not enter the inner house, and no one could understand what happened to the old man's illness.

Will there be anything wrong with the old man? The answer is no, the reason why he fell ill is just a fiasco and was angry, he didn't show up these days, not because there was really a big problem with his body, but because he was plotting with Zhang Tingyu and others to raise an army and then go to the strategy, this, Hongqing has a lot of money in his heart, and he will not have a sense of nervousness, what should he do every day, he is almost buried in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry all day long, and he has not gone anywhere next to him, there is no way, at the end of the year, there are a lot of affairs of the Ministry of Industry, In addition, the invention projects released last year have also reached the time to settle the performance of half a year, all kinds of reports, documents are piled up on the desk, how Zhang Luo can't win, really Hongqing is tired enough, and finally survived until the day of the monthly holiday, I wanted to take a good rest, but unfortunately such a wish was not realized, no side, early in the morning, the old fourteen sent an invitation, please Hongqing to come over the house.

At this moment, the purpose of the old fourteen's invitation is obviously only one, that is, the position of the commander of the army, Hongqing has a lot of this in his heart, but he did not refuse the invitation of the old fourteen, and after breakfast, he immediately changed into civilian clothes, led Li Minxing and others to the old fourteenth mansion in a carriage.

"Hahaha......, Brother Qing'er, your kid arrived quite quickly, you still want to ask someone to urge again, your kid has arrived, go, talk in the house!"

The old fourteen are bold and sociable by nature, but whenever there are holidays, the door of his mansion is often full of traffic, but today the front of the door is very deserted, and it is obvious that he has cleared the field in order to wait for the arrival of Hongqing.

"The little nephew has seen the fourteenth uncle."

The old fourteen is an elder, he can go at will, but Hongqing, as a junior, still has to do a lot of etiquette, this time seeing the old fourteen come out, Hongqing immediately walked a few steps, and stood on his feet reservedly, and bowed in a proper manner.

"Yes, you kid is going to come to this with your master, let's go, drink!"

The old fourteen has always been annoyed by those unnutritious false gifts, not waiting for Hongqing's ceremony to be exhausted, he was already impatiently grabbed Hongqing's arm, smiled and dragged to the door of the house, Hongqing smiled, and was too lazy to be polite, so let the old fourteen drag into the house, the uncle and nephew all the way into the West Flower Hall, Fang Yi sat down, and a group of people hurriedly spread all kinds of dishes and drinks all over the table.

"Come, how about a taste of this wine."

The old fourteen waved his hand and drove all the subordinates who were accompanying him out of the West Flower Hall, and with great diligence, he personally picked up the wine jar resting on the corner of the table, slapped the sealing mud hard, and said with a smile while filling all the wine bowls in front of Hongqing and himself.

"Good wine!"

Although Hongqing is not very good wine, but over the years, for entertainment, the wine has not been drunk, and the quality of the wine can be distinguished, only as soon as he smells the aroma of the wine, he already knows that this wine is extraordinary, and he praised it from the bottom of his heart.

"Hey, the daughter of thirty years is red, can it be good, that is, your kid came, and the master just came out of a jar, last time Lao Jiu wanted to exchange it for the green horse on his house, and the master was not willing to give, yes, don't talk about it, let's talk about it first!"

Lao Fourteen laughed proudly, boasting to himself, while picking up the wine bowl, comparing it to Hongqing, and then, regardless of Hongqing's reaction, he looked up and drank wildly.

"Okay, it's rare that Uncle Fourteen is so generous, and the little nephew is better to be respectful!"

Hongqing laughed, also picked up the wine bowl, and when he raised his head, he also did it to the bottom.

"Hahaha......, okay, refreshing, hey, it's just one of the things that my lord invited Brother Qing to drink at home today, as for the second, it's not the matter of the expedition agreed on before, Brother Qing has a lot to think about, just say it bluntly."

The fourteenth has dealt with Hongqing too many times, and he knows that if he wants to play tricks with Hongqing, he can only bring humiliation on himself, so he simply picks out the words.

"Uncle Fourteen rest assured, the little nephew has always been a talker, and he promised Uncle Fourteen things, so there is no risk of being easier, isn't it just a guarantee of capital, the little nephew is decided."

Hongqing smiled, put the empty wine bowl in his hand on the table, and gave an incomparably affirmative answer without any delay.

"Okay, I like to hear this, it's just, well, it's just that you ...... in Amma."

Lao Fourteen obviously didn't expect Hongqing to give an answer so happily, and couldn't help but be stunned, although he high-fived and shouted, but his eyes rolled, but he didn't dare to believe it completely, so he tentatively asked half of the words.

"It's hard to say, the little nephew didn't ask Amma what his intentions were, hey, why don't the little nephews go back and ask?"

As soon as I heard the old fourteen ask the third master's opinion, Hongqing was not so easy to speak, and he played with a Tai Chi pusher, which was really smooth.

"You ......, hey, Brother Qing'er, you kid is not authentic, but the two of us said at the beginning, the master will help you settle Aling, you kid has to help the master take down the handsome seal, and now he is such a hand with the master, is it really a fool?"

As soon as Hongqing's obvious excuses came out, the old fourteen's eyebrows and eyes were erected, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he angrily settled the old account with Hongqing.

"Uncle Fourteen, what are you talking about, the little nephew did promise the fourteenth uncle to protect the capital, how dare the little nephew break the contract, or the little nephew will go to the book early in the morning, so it should be done?"

As soon as the old fourteen had such a seizure, Hongqing immediately called out to hit the sky, and his face was full of grievances, and he almost didn't point to the world.

"Fart, you kid give the master a truth, what is the price, your third master is willing to go to the book, just say, listen to it!"

The old fourteenth is very shrewd, how can he not know that Hongqing is playing a word game, there is no side, just Hongqing is on the book, even if he is not very supportive at all, without the third master to come forward, how can the officials of the Cheng Prince's Mansion join in, in this way, the situation that the old fourteen want is obviously impossible, and if the third master runs to support the old thirteen, wouldn't it be too much fun, as soon as he thought of this, the old fourteen was very angry, and he burst into a foul mouth without paying much attention to it, and he drank and asked impatiently.

"Fourteenth uncle, you say so, let the little nephew deal with himself, alas, okay, if the little nephew does not make a request, the fourteenth uncle can't feel at ease, so good, the little nephew is quite interested in the position of Sichuan Governor, if the fourteenth uncle does not object, the little nephew will go to the book to sponsor Geng Sanbiao, the deputy general of the Henan Governor's Mansion, how about it?"

The old fourteen were in a hurry, but Hongqing was not in a hurry at all, and the faction opened a bargaining chip for the sake of the old fourteen.

"That's it?"

As soon as he heard Hongqing's words, the old fourteen's eyes immediately became sharp, and after staring at Hongqing coldly for a while, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth.

"Hehe, yes, that's it, Uncle Fourteen, you can just look at it, and the little nephew is not reluctant."

Hongqing didn't care about the cold eyes of the old fourteen at all, spread his hands, and replied with an innocent face.

"Hey, Cheng, it's better to keep your kid on his own, although the master is not opposed, but don't expect the master to help, in addition, what else do you want, hurry up, just say it all at once."

The old fourteenth is a person who is proficient in martial arts, how can he not see Hongqing's intention to play this move, the left and right are just trying to use the strength of the Sichuan Governor's Mansion to restrain his old fourteenth army, and then think of the two subordinates of Hongqing more than a month ago who were suddenly transferred to the position of the Northwest Grain Road and the Western Sichuan Grain Road, the old fourteen already hated Hongqing to the bone, but he did not get mad, but smiled coldly and gave a vague promise.

"Heh, Uncle Fourteen laughed, with your words, the little nephew will go to discuss with his father, and he will go to the next few days to protect his capital, and he will never miss your big event Uncle Fourteen."

The old fourteen obviously left a tail in his words, and he was playing a word game, no side, he himself did not object, but a large group of his subordinates in the military department could come forward to oppose it, coupled with the strength of the eighth master and others, he really wanted to fight to the death, and he couldn't mess up Hongqing's calculations without necessarily doing so, this point, with Hongqing's IQ, it was impossible not to hear it, but Hongqing didn't care, after all, the old man had the final say on this matter, and what the opinions of others were, in fact, it didn't matter. As long as the old fourteen himself does not object to this matter, Hongqing has a lot of confidence to get through the old man's level, of course, whether it succeeds or not, it depends on the situation.

"Hey, Ye never laughs, you kid can just watch it yourself."

Seeing Hongqing's lazy appearance, he knew that he shouldn't be angry, but the old fourteen couldn't help but be angry, and his words were not very polite.

"Uncle Fourteen, don't you just keep your capital, the little nephew said that he will definitely do it, it is the father's side, and the little nephew also dares to guarantee, come, drink, drink!"

Hongqing is a cheap and obedient master, who cares whether the old fourteen is happy or not, a handful of the wine jar, diligently filled a big bowl for the old fourteen, and poured the bowl in front of him, and then raised the wine bowl, smiled and sent out an invitation, the villain's appearance, suddenly saw the old fourteen teeth itching, but he couldn't attack, so he could only stare at Hongqing hatefully, and reluctantly picked up the wine bowl, and poured a sigh of relief......
