Chapter 477: Vote for Names
Sure enough, as Xu Hai expected, Xu Hong lived a luxurious life of fine clothes and food, saying that there are delicacies from the mountains and seas, and beautiful women at night.
It turns out that he is really not as good as Mao Haifeng, after all, Xiao Mao always keeps in mind his father-in-law's entrustment and has not forgotten to collect information from the government; And our Second General Xu had a lot of fun all day, and he couldn't wait to die drunk in the gold account, which was something that Shen Mo never expected.
"My lord, how long are you going to let him play?" On this day, he finally couldn't help but say depressedly: "This kid doesn't go out every day, and he spends more than ten taels of silver, although we have money, it's not a waste of money, right?" ”
Shen Mo also said helplessly: "How did I know that this kid was this kind of goodness, and I thought that the leader of the Japanese who once commanded thousands of troops was also a character." Saying that, he put down the account book in his hand and said: "We can't be trusted, we will lose tens of thousands of taels of silver in one day, hurry up and find that guy, I have to talk about it!" ”
"Hehe, good ......" Gui Youguangxin said, it should have been like this a long time ago, so he went out to the front yard 'She Hotel', just entered the courtyard and did not enter, and heard the silver sound inside, but it was Xu Ergongzi who incarnated as a stallion and was saying Xuanyin in vain.
'It's a pity that I have a good body...... ' The weak Gui Youguang was secretly envious, so he cleared his throat and said: "General Xu Er, the prefect is invited." ”
"Wait a minute, wait a ......" Xu Hong's embarrassed voice came from inside, followed by a burst of women's coquettish screams, and after a while, the disheveled General Xu Er, while tying his belt, walked over to Gui Youguang, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”
Gui Youguang looked at the head of the west, sighed and said, "General Xu Er, let's wash my face and go again." ”
"It's not dirty, I just washed it yesterday." Xu Hong touched his face, sent it to his nose and sniffed it, "It's fragrant." ”
"That's a lip print...... Gui Youguang said helplessly: "His face is full of ......"
"You wait a minute, ......" Xu Hong's old face turned red, and he hurriedly went into the house, and after a burst of laughter, he washed his face clean.
followed Gui Youguang to the signing room, and asked Xu Hong silently, are you used to living? Xu Hong said happily, he was too used to it, the place here was too comfortable, and then said to Shen Mo with envy: "If an adult can live this kind of life all day long, he must be the happiest person in the world." ”
"But I have a lot of troubles." Silence was deliberately pretentious.
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Hong asked.
"Although your brother has stopped, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang are still harassing everywhere, and my Suzhou Mansion is not peaceful." Shen sighed and said, "I won't tell you, the City Department has been closed for two months, and the pressure on my shoulders is very high." ”
"What can I do for you?" Sure enough, it was the shortest time to eat others, Xu Hong had to ask obediently.
"Go and bring a message to your brother," Shen Mo was no longer polite to him, and said directly: "As long as he can catch Ye Ma and Xin Wulang to me, Governor Hu will personally come to preside over the submission ceremony, and there will be a holy decree to give and reward your brothers." The blue sky is white, and all eyes are on it, it must be what your eldest brother can't ask for, right? ”
Xu Hong fell into silence, in fact, he didn't show it so badly, but the eldest brother said that Shen Mo didn't make conditions, so he kept eating and drinking for nothing, anyway, as long as the eldest brother was outside and had troops in his hands, he would never be embarrassed by him.
Therefore, Xu Hong's trick is unchanged and responds to all changes, and it seems that it has succeeded, at least it has forced out the conditions of silence, and it is not he who took the initiative to ask, according to his eldest brother, it will be conducive to negotiations.
It's just that they haven't heard a word, and if they can't fight on the battlefield, they don't want to get it from the negotiating table...... It seems that this is ineffective for a conspirator like Shen Mo, but without the support of Qi Jiguang's troops, Shen Mo has no way to carry out his conspiracy, and without Yu Dayou rushing back in time, he can't stiffen his waist and stare at Xu Hai.
Therefore, the word 'strength' is inseparable at any time. Without the support of these two words, no matter how sinister the conspiracy is, in the eyes of the truly powerful, it is just a joke.
Now, Shen Mo is the strong man, so Xu Hai and Xu Hong's tricks are, in his opinion, ridiculous and useless...... Although he finally took the initiative to say the conditions, he did not have the slightest discount.
Xu Hong was about to run out of those poor brain cells, and he didn't think of what to do, so he had to say dejectedly: "I have to ask my brother about this." ”
He bowed his head silently and smiled without saying a word.
Shen Mo did what he said, and sure enough, he did not stop Xu Hong from leaving the city, and specially sent someone to send him to Xu Hai's camp.
Xu Hai's recent situation is very bad, since Congliang, thousands of subordinates eat horses, it has become a big problem, and now there has been a flight in the camp, and he is about to go crazy.
So when he saw his younger brother who was oily and obviously fat, he sarcastically said angrily: "It's only been a few days since you became fat like this, and Lord Shen's food is so good?" ”
Xu Hong said with a bitter face: "I'm under house arrest, to be honest, I'm being kept in captivity like a pig, if the eldest brother likes it, then let's change it." ”
"You ......" Xu Hai said angrily: "You are a pig, I am not!" "Everything is not going well in the natal year, it is useless to wear red pants, General Xu's liver fire is really prosperous, but in a blink of an eye, he softened and said: "Forget it, when I didn't say, what is the condition for silence?" ”
Originally, he kept saying Lord Shen, but he didn't see him for a few days, but he changed it to silence, although it was only a change in title, but it was enough to reflect Xu Hai's capriciousness and contradiction with his inner struggle.
Xu Hong relayed the silent message to Xu Hai...... From beginning to end, Shen Mo used word of mouth to contact Xu Hai, and never left a single piece of paper, which is one of the reasons why Xu Hai always has no bottom in his heart.
After listening to Xu Hong's retelling, Xu Hai's heart was half relieved - after all, Shen Mo finally gave him a reassuring promise; But the other half hangs even higher - if Ye Ma and Xin Goro are really killed, he will become the commander of the light pole, and if the court is shameless and reneges on his promise, then he really has only the share of being slaughtered.
When Xu Hai said the worries in his heart, He Xinyin said slowly: "I feel it, the general is too worried." ”
"Why did Brother Xian say this?" Xu Hai really hoped that he was too worried.
"I remember that on the eleventh episode of "Zhongyi Water Margin", the leopard head wanted to fall into the grass and Liangshan, but Wang Lun asked him to take the name first before he could accept him into the gang." He Xinyin said: "Now the government also wants us to vote to prove our determination to break with the past." ”
"There's some truth to what you're saying." Xu Hai nodded slowly and said: "Yes, since we want to be bitches, we really can't think about building an archway anymore......" He was completely bewitched by the promise of silent 'the governor will personally surrender' and 'there is also the canonization of the holy decree'. He finally believed that he would not be guilty of the past, and would give him a knighthood so that he could enjoy glory and wealth in peace, provided that the two accomplices were tied up and sent to Suzhou.
There is a way that 'dead friends do not die and poor roads', not to mention Ye Ma and Xin Wulang, who couldn't urinate in a pot with him for a long time, Xu Hai finally decided to do it: "Find a way to help me make up a letter, set a trap, and 'fish' them for me." ”
Looking at the two virtuous brothers with sluggish faces, he sighed again and said, "Forget it, I'll come." Then he ordered his men to prepare in full swing.
A day later, Xu Hai's letter was placed on Ye Ma's desk, and the letter was sent by He Xinyin, the leader of the three heads, to show that he attached great importance to it.
Ye Ma picked up the letter, gently opened it to read, and after reading it, he looked up at He Xinyin and said, "The official army really mobilized so many soldiers and horses as this letter said?" ”
He Xin said with a hint of concern: "This matter is true! In addition to the famous wolf soldiers, now Shandong archers, Henan spearmen, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang volunteers have all come to Susong one after another, and as soon as Hu Zongxian arrives, they will launch a general attack on us! ”
Ye Ma couldn't help but groan: "If this is really the case, then we will be in danger." ”
He Xinyin nodded and said repeatedly: "What Dangjia Ye said is not bad at all, it is for this reason that the general of my family invited the two masters to discuss the next step." ”
"Oh, Shingoro is going too?" Ye Ma said: "When did the general pay attention to the Japanese people?" ”
"Oh, my general said that in times of crisis, there is hope when everyone is united and work together." He Xin didn't blink, so he thought of a reason for prevarication, how could he have half a point in front of Xu Hai.
"In that case, why are you robbing Xingoro's ship?" Ye Ma asked in a deep voice, "How can we trust the general?" ”
"It's you who don't act righteously first, renting a big ship for 10,000 taels of silver, and a small boat for 5,000 taels, which is more than grabbing it!" He Xinyin said indignantly: "The brothers are angry about this, and they did it behind the general's back, so don't wronged the good people." ”
"With your attitude, how can you talk about cooperation?" Ye Ma snorted coldly and said, for this He Xinyin, he owes no favor at all.
"It's a time and a moment." He Xinyin said in a low voice: "Now is the time to give up the past suspicions and spend the crisis together." ”
"It's like a human saying." Ye Ma casually 'um', a contemplative look appeared on his face, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay, go back and tell your general, after my father-in-law makes some arrangements, he will leave immediately." ”
After sending He Xinyin away, Ye Nan asked, "Big brother, are you really ...... Do you really want to go? ”
"You are the plenipotentiary, go for me." Ye Ma said: "At this time, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, I can't take risks easily." ”
"Since it's dangerous, let's not go." Ye Nan said reluctantly.
"But it's probably because I'm overthinking," Ye Ma said slowly: "Although Xu Hai has eyebrows with the government, I have known him for more than ten years, and I know that this person is scheming, and it is impossible to easily take refuge in the government!" Eighty percent of him is a false and wronged snake, using that delaying tactics. ”
"Then what are you afraid of?"
"Isn't there still 20% unsure?"
"That'...... Then let me take ...... Venture? Ye Nan stammered even more.
"Stupid, are you stuttering in the head?" Ye Ma scolded: "As long as I'm fine, does Xu Hai dare to touch you at all?" Just go with confidence and boldness! ”
Ye Nan reluctantly and reluctantly agreed, and listened to Brother Nai's words: "By the way, before you go, go to Xin Wulang's place first, and tell him that if Lu Ji goes to this matter, he won't take any risks." ”
Ye Nan received the order and went to Xin Wulang fifty miles away, who knew that when he arrived in the camp, he only saw Lu Ji, not Xin Wulang, and when he asked, he knew that the guy had led the team out to rob.
Lu Ji asked him what was going on, and Ye Nan stammered. Hearing this, Lu Ji hissed and scolded: "What did you do earlier?!" Now that the two sides are hostile to each other like enemies, they only remember to repair the relationship, isn't it too late? ”
"Don't scold me, I don't count if I say it again." Ye Nan said aggrievedly.
"Then again, your eldest brother is right." Lu Ji suppressed his anger and said, "I also represent Xin Wulang, let's go to Xu Hai together." ”
"But Shin Shin Goro doesn't know about it?" Ye Nan opened his mouth and stammered: "This is being represented?" I'm going to have to talk to him first. ”
"His ships were all burned by Xu Hai," Lu Ji said: "Even if you go, you have to quarrel with Xu Hai, do you still expect to be able to speak calmly?" Saying that, he turned his wheelchair and said: "Let's go talk about Ding Mao first, and then I will persuade him with Ye Dangjia." ”
Ye Nan felt that it made sense, so he took Lu Ji with him to the Xu Hai camp.
Xu Hai had already prepared a feast and was ready to entertain the two masters, but when he heard the news from outside, only the two leaders came, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. But you can't drive people back, wouldn't that be revealing? He beat his spirit and invited the two to sit down.
In the middle of the staggering, Lu Ji felt a biting chill from Xu Hai's demeanor and words, which made him feel chills down his spine, but Rao was scheming, and he only thought that the other party was dissatisfied with the matter of 'inviting the old lady's uncle, but only the little nephew', and also tried to explain that Xin Wulang had not returned from hunting, and he was afraid of delaying the general's banquet, so he dared to come.
When Xu Hai heard that Xin Wulang was out hunting, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said quietly on his face: "Out hunting? Now there are officers and soldiers everywhere, where is there still hunting to fight? ”
"Oh," Lu Ji said quietly, "As long as you look hard, you can always find it." ”
Xu Hai heard the meaning of his words, and said with a shy smile: "It seems that Lu Gongzi is still familiar with the way and knows a lot of places," he said, pointing outside and saying: "Don't be afraid of your jokes, the brothers are about to cut off the cooking, Gongzi is doing well, and he should also give some advice." ”
Lu Ji didn't doubt it, so he said: "It's not a secret, it's just that the city was silently closed, and many businessmen lost their pants, so they had to take risks and secretly smuggle from Shanghai, and I asked Xin Wulang to try his luck there." As he spoke, he also instructed: "If the general goes, don't bring too many people, so as not to startle the snake." He also told the truth so that the two sides could have a good atmosphere for talking.
Xu Hai was overjoyed, thanked them, let them eat and drink at will first, hurried out of the tent, and told Xu Hong to do this and this before going back to continue drinking with the two.
He deliberately poured wine, and after a while, he put down Ye Nan, and Lu Ji didn't drink a drop of alcohol because of physical reasons, no matter how Xu Hai persuaded him. There was really no way, Xu Hai had to get himself drunk.
Looking at Xu and Ye, who were asleep, Lu Ji sighed depressedly and said, "It's really a mistake to drink!" ”
Xu Hai's drunkenness was not light, and he didn't show up until near noon, and Lu Ji, who was in a hurry, urged: "General, let's talk about business, right?" ”
Xu Hai laughed and said, "Okay, then get down to business!" As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and rushed out of the two subordinates, and couldn't help but say, tying up Lu Ji Wuhuada!
"No kidding!" Lu Ji's body is forbidden to be touched, and if someone pokes his fingers, it will hurt so much, not to mention this kind of rough treatment? It hurt so much that he almost fainted. But he is also a generation of heroes after all, and the glory of the past did not allow him to scream, so he had to look up to the sky and laugh: "Hahaha...... Hahaha......"
Xu Hai said unhappily: "What are you laughing at?" Think your master will come to your rescue? Tell you, he has been captured by Xu Hong and sent to Suzhou City. ”
When the change started, Lu Ji knew what Xu Haicun was thinking, and he was naturally not surprised by what happened to Xin Wulang, knowing that it was useless to say more, he sighed on his back and said: "The erection is not enough and the plan, I really have no eyes!" With that, close your lips and eyes, and let them be at their mercy like a clay puppet.
Xu Hai ordered someone to escort him to the back of the tent to take care of him, things went very well, but he couldn't be happy, looking at the back of Lu Ji who was escorted out of the tent, he suddenly felt a little lonely, he suddenly realized that he was actually betraying, betraying his friends, and betraying himself.
Although he doesn't mind betrayal, does betrayal have to end well? It's hard to tell.
Continuing to think deeply, he finally found that after taking Xin Wulang, his situation did not improve, but worsened - yesterday it was still three-legged, echoing each other from afar, even Yu Dayou did not dare to bully too closely, and the rest of the officers and soldiers only stared dryly. But now that the three legs are missing one foot, can the tripod still stand up? No.
