Qiao Mingtang smiled indifferently and said, "Since you want to get rid of him, you naturally have to plan carefully." If Feng Poyu doesn't die, the people of Xishan will suffer sooner or later, no matter what, I won't be merciful. ”

Wei Tianqing picked up the wine bowl, raised his head and drank it all before he said, "Have you already planned a plan of action?" ”

Qiao Mingtang hesitated for a moment before he said in a low voice: "It is true that the method of action has been designed, but Feng Poyu's martial arts are not weak, they are very strong, and the killer who gave him the final blow must not only be strong in martial arts, but also loyal to me." ”

Wei Tianqing said with a smile: "My lord, Wei's martial arts may not be very high, but there is no problem with his loyalty to adults." ”

Qiao Mingtang said solemnly: "Tianqing, did you promise to take action to eliminate the enemy?" ”

"The lowly position is here, and he is already waiting for death." Wei Tianqing said with a smile: "If you can still serve the adults before you die, Wei will naturally have nothing to say." Wei has never been able to repay the kindness of the adults to Wei over the years, and this time I just took this opportunity to repay the kindness of the adults to me. ”

Qiao Mingtang sighed, "I know that you won't let me down. ”

"My lord, what should I do, you just tell me." Wei Tianqing said solemnly: "As long as you can help the adults get rid of Feng Poyu, Wei Tianqing will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not hesitate." ”

Qiao Mingtang stretched out his hand, held Wei Tianqing's wrist, and said with emotion: "Tianqing, if this matter is successful, the people of Xishan will escape the catastrophe, and I thank you here on behalf of the millions of people in Xishan." ”

Mrs. Qiao was preoccupied all day, Qiao Mingtang was going to visit Wei Tianqing in prison, Mrs. Qiao was quite happy at first, but she thought that Qiao Mingtang was thinking about her love with Wei Tianqing for many years, so she went to visit.

She personally made a few exquisite side dishes, hoping that after Qiao Mingtang and Wei Tianqing met, she could even open the net and release Wei Tianqing from prison.

Wei Tianqing is heroic, although he is a member of the government, but he has the chivalrous style of the rivers and lakes in his bones, and Mrs. Qiao admires the righteousness of the rivers and lakes very much.

The most important thing is that when they were in distress in Jingjiang, it was Wei Tianqing and Chu Huan who teamed up to protect everyone from the catastrophe, Mrs. Qiao was grateful to Chu Huan in her heart, but she was also very grateful to Wei Tianqing, although it was within Wei Tianqing's duty to protect herself, but Mrs. Qiao always felt that she owed Wei Tianqing a love.

This time, Wei Tianqing was imprisoned, and Mrs. Qiao pleaded many times by Qiao Mingtang's side, but Qiao Mingtang's heart was like iron and stone, and he was unmoved, but Mrs. Qiao was unhappy in her heart.

After Qiao Mingtang left today, Mrs. Qiao thought about it carefully and felt that things were a little strange.

She has been married to Qiao Mingtang for many years, and Qiao Mingtang takes good care of her, but Mrs. Qiao also knows in her heart that Qiao Mingtang is very deep in the city, and when she really wants to do something, she is a simple and decisive person, and she can even be said to be a little ruthless.

Previously, Qiao Mingtang obviously wanted to use Wei Tianqing as a scapegoat, and even his own persuasion many times was useless, but today it was unusual, not only to visit Wei Tianqing in person, but also to let herself cook a few side dishes, Mrs. Qiao always felt that it would not be simple, with her understanding of this pillow person, Qiao Mingtang was only afraid that there would be something that could not be humane for outsiders.

She just wanted to wait for Qiao Mingtang to come back and ask carefully, but from noon until dark, she didn't see Qiao Mingtang come back.

Mrs. Jo did not have to ask him if he had eaten dinner, but by the smell of wine in his mouth, she knew that he had eaten out.

As always, Mrs. Qiao served Qiao Mingtang to wash and clean, changed into clean and light clothes, and then asked, "Where is the master drinking today?" ”

Qiao Mingtang's complexion was obviously much better than in the morning, he took Mrs. Qiao's hand, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile: "I went to Quanjusheng, and I had a light meal there by the way." ”

Mrs. Qiao frowned and said, "Quanjusheng is the largest restaurant in our Yunshan Mansion, what are you going to do there?" ”

Qiao Mingtang waved his hand and said, "After drinking a few more glasses, I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest, and I'll talk about other things later." After saying that, he took Mrs. Qiao to lie down.

Mrs. Qiao grabbed Qiao Mingtang, "Master, if you don't say it, I won't be able to sleep peacefully all night, you sue me, what's going on, otherwise I won't follow you!" "She is a little coquettish, although she is over thirty, but she is still coquettish.

Qiao Mingtang laughed, and then lowered his voice and said, "I'm going to have a treat at Quanjusheng!" ”

"A treat?" Mrs. Qiao said curiously: "Who are you going to invite?" ”

Qiao Mingtang smiled faintly, "After Feng Poyu came to Xishan, I haven't picked up the wind and dust for him, and I haven't summoned the generals of the four major tribes of the barbarian cavalry, so I should always do my best to be a landlord." ”

Mrs. Qiao was even more surprised: "You want to invite them?" ”

Seeing Mrs. Qiao's stunned face, Qiao Mingtang said with a smile: "It is not appropriate to add a grievance, they are all ministers of the same dynasty, they can't keep going on like this, and they should find an opportunity to ease the relationship." ”

Mrs. Qiao's watery eyes turned slightly, and she immediately said, "No, master, you don't sincerely want to reconcile with them. ”

Qiao Mingtang hurriedly pressed Mrs. Qiao's plump red lips and said in a low voice, "Madam, don't be so loud. ”

"If you want to reconcile, why are you afraid that people will hear?" Mrs. Qiao sat next to Qiao Mingtang and said in a low voice: "Master, you went to find Wei Tianqing today, is it related to this banquet?" ”

Qiao Mingtang sighed and said, "Madam is too smart, but there will be more troubles. ”

"If you keep me in the dark, I'll be even more restless." Mrs. Qiao sighed faintly: "Master, at this time, don't hide something from me, I'm worried day and night!" ”

Qiao Mingtang knew that Mrs. Qiao had indeed been frightened a lot recently, so he held Mrs. Qiao's hand and said softly: "Don't think nonsense, don't worry, the matter will be resolved soon, after the banquet, it will be fine, I promise that you will no longer have to be frightened." ”

"Master, then you sue me, what do you want to do this time?" Mrs. Qiao pressed one hand on her full chest, "My heart is beating non-stop these days, and I always feel that something is going to happen." ”

Qiao Mingtang hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered his voice and said, "I sue you, but you must not be in a hurry, let alone leak a word to the outside world, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Mrs. Joe nodded slightly.

Qiao Mingtang's face showed a cold expression, and he lowered his voice and sneered: "If Feng Poyu is not removed, I am worried that there will be a big change in Yunshan sooner or later, and I am afraid that I will fold it in his hands." ”

Mrs. Qiao frowned and said, "He is hostile to the master, I can see that if there is a chance, he will definitely be unfavorable to the master." ”

Qiao Mingtang bowed slightly, "So I have to strike first." ”

"First strike?" Mrs. Qiao was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, and said in horror: "Master, do you want to use the wine banquet!" ”

Qiao Mingtang nodded slightly and sneered: "This is also the only chance now." ”

"Sir, this is too risky." Mrs. Qiao's face was slightly pale, and her face, which was already snowy and tender, looked a little pale at this time, "He is a general sent by the imperial court, and he has strong martial arts, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his hands, not to mention that it is impossible for you to kill him, even if you can really kill him, then you can't do it, if he dies, how can the imperial court let you go." ”

Thinking that the banquet was held to assassinate Feng Poyu, it was extremely dangerous, and Mrs. Qiao's heart was even more uneasy.

Qiao Mingtang smiled quite confidently: "Madam, don't worry, Feng Poyu's death has nothing to do with me, and there will be no evidence to prove that I did it afterwards." Even if the imperial court was really suspicious of me, but at that time, the control of Xishan was in my hands, and the imperial court still expected me to block the Northwest Army, and I didn't dare to do anything to me. ”

Mrs. Qiao was puzzled: "Not involved with you?" ”

Qiao Mingtang said in a low voice: "I've already arranged it!" ”

Mrs. Qiao already understood a little at this time, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, you went to visit Wei Tianqing in the prison, do you want him!" ”

"I've already said what I need to say." Qiao Mingtang said in a low voice: "Madam, don't ask any more. This matter is related to the future of us and the entire Xishan, and not a word can be leaked. ”

Mrs. Qiao has been by Qiao Mingtang's side for many years, and she has been quite clear about many Taoisms in the officialdom, and she already understands it in her heart, and said with a wry smile: "The master wants Wei Tianqing to do it, if he succeeds, it will be fine, but once he misses, not only will Wei Tianqing not survive, but the master will never be able to get rid of the relationship, Wei Tianqing has followed you for many years after all!" ”

Qiao Mingtang said lightly: "But he was sent to prison by me, and I have removed him from his official position, and he has nothing to do with me." ”

Mrs. Qiao was about to speak, when an anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Master, master, Master Xiao asks to see you!" ”

Qiao Mingtang frowned at first, then thought of something, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said loudly: "Let him wait for a while." ”

Mrs. Qiao asked anxiously, "What is he doing at such a late hour?" ”

"Naturally, there is an urgency." Qiao Mingtang had already gotten up and dressed, Mrs. Qiao stepped forward to help, and after getting dressed, Qiao Mingtang said, "Madam, you rest first, you don't have to wait for me." "Get out of the door.

When he arrived at the hall, Xiao Moyun, the director of the Ministry of War, was already waiting, and when he saw Qiao Mingtang, he hurriedly stepped forward, his face looked anxious and uneasy, and he arched his hand and said, "My lord! ”

"What's the urgency at such a late hour?" Qiao Mingtang sat down, "What can't be said tomorrow, it has to be this time." ”

"My lord, it's not good." Xiao Moyun's expression was solemn, "Something happened over there in the prison." ”

"Prison?"

"Exactly." Xiao Moyun bowed, "There was just news over there, Wei Tianqing Wei Tianqing ran away from the prison!" ”

Qiao Mingtang's face sank, "What? Wei Tianqing ran away? ”

Xiao Moyun said with a gloomy face: "When the jailer in the cell patrolled at night, I found that in his cell, the jailer who delivered the food was knocked unconscious inside, and when he found it, the clothes on his body were gone, and he was still in a coma, and Wei Tianqing was gone. ”

"You mean, Wei Tianqing knocked the jailer unconscious and disguised himself to leave the prison?" Qiao Mingtang frowned.

Xiao Moyun nodded and said, "Now it seems that this should be the case, and I don't know how he opened the iron lock of the prison door!" ”

"He used to wander the rivers and lakes, and a lock couldn't lock him." Qiao Mingtang had a cold face, "It's just that he went out in disguise, didn't anyone find out?" ”

"It may have something to do with the sky." Xiao Moyun said: "When the meal was delivered, it was already dark! ”

Qiao Mingtang sneered: "I'm afraid that those jailers can't get out of the way, maybe no one is colluding with Wei Tianqing, don't talk about this, quickly send someone to search, this person is bold, and knows our situation well, we must not let him escape." He sighed, and blamed himself: "Master Xiao, you said a lot before, this Wei Tianqing soldier was defeated, and there was really another conspiracy, just blame me for not listening to you, I should have cut him with a knife a long time ago." ”
