"Yo, the fourteenth brother is here, didn't you make an appointment with the thief for a banquet today, why did it end so quickly?"

At three o'clock, the sun in early winter has risen in the air, not glamorous, but very warm, the eighth master brothers are all on the deck chair, just casually chatting in the open space in the back garden, laughing and talking to themselves, but seeing the old fourteen gloomy face from a distance, the fast old ten immediately smiled and raised his hand to greet him.

"Humph!"

As soon as Lao Shi's words came out, Lao Shi's face immediately became a little more ugly, and he didn't say anything to explain, just said lightly, strode to the side of the brothers, looked left and right, saw the empty chaise longue, simply lifted the hem of the robe, and unceremoniously sat down next to Lao Shi, and the two big men were just crowded on a chaise longue that was not very wide.

"Hey, I said Lao Fourteen, you are too unparticular about it, yes, you are too lazy to worry about you, come here, hurry up and get another reclining chair for you."

The old ten is not small, but the strength is not as big as the old fourteen, being squeezed like this, almost sitting empty, when even if it is unhappy, after burying the old fourteen, he pulled his throat and instructed the people waiting on the side.

"Wow!"

As soon as Lao Shi's words came out, the people waiting on the side dared to slack off, and hurriedly responded in unison, and hurriedly rushed out of the backyard.

"Hmm!"

The eighth master smiled and looked at the tenth and fourteenth people there, and was not in a hurry to say anything, until the subordinates arranged the chaise longue, then raised his hand, and said lightly without being salty, and all the subordinates retreated, and the smile on the back was closed, and he said with a solemn expression: "Fourteenth brother, do you have any thoughts about that guy again?" ”

"Brother Starling is right, that guy is not satisfied with the two grains from the old man, but he is thinking about the position of the governor of Sichuan, hey, I really can't be a fool!"

As soon as he got down to business, Old Fourteen's already gloomy face immediately became even more unsightly, but when he saw that he gritted his teeth, he was already resentful and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

"What? That bastard boy has such a big appetite, grandma is a bear, I really dare to say it, see if the master doesn't slap that bastard to death! ”

As soon as the words of the old fourteen came out, the faces of the brothers should be difficult to see the extreme, no side, the brothers may not necessarily be proficient in martial arts, but the small ones are elite education, and the basic military knowledge is not lacking, how can you not understand the importance of the Sichuan Governor, you must know that it is the side and rear of the army, the strategic position is very important, how can you say that you will give up, the eighth master, the ninth master is just that, although it is also very angry, in the end it can still calm down, but the old ten is a rough character, just a little bit, Regardless of the ground, he scolded loudly.

"Tenth brother, don't be impatient, fourteenth brother, you make it clear, how did that guy talk about this?"

Lao Jiu was careful in the end, although he was also angry, he did not rush to attack, but waved his hand and asked for details with a gloomy face.

"Brother Jiu asked well, here's how it ......"

Since the ninth master has a question, the old fourteen will not have anything to hide, so he babbled and explained the negotiation with Hongqing in detail.

"Hey, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, this guy is really going to look at Shu, starling, this matter must not be allowed to succeed, according to the younger brother, although it is inconvenient for the fourteenth brother to make a move, but we are no hindrance, after all, we can't let that guy succeed!"

In this small group of four, the temper of the ninth master is the best, but as soon as he heard the introduction of the old fourteen, he was also flushed with anger, and he unequivocally expressed his determination to stop Hongqing.

"Yes, that's what you want, grandma is a bear, the master is charging in front, but that guy wants to hide in the back and secretly cast cold arrows, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world, even if you don't want to give up this life, you have to completely mess up this matter!"

Lao Shi has always looked at Hongqing unpleasantly, and at this time, he was even more angry by his "shamelessness", and as soon as the ninth master's voice fell, he was already shouting at the top of his throat.

"Well, this has to be stopped, does the gentleman have any insight into this?"

Of course, the eighth master didn't want to see the position of the governor of Sichuan fall into the hands of Prince Cheng's family, but when it came to forcibly stopping it, he was not absolutely sure in his heart, so he set the tone of the matter first, and then threw the problem to Lu Chunyan, who was silently lying in a rocking chair on the side.

"Indisputable!"

When the masters were discussing there, Lu Chunyan always closed his eyes slightly, rocking the rocking chair leisurely, until the eighth master asked, Lu Chunyan straightened his waist, sat upright, opened his eyes, and gave a very short answer.

"Huh? Mr. means ......"

As soon as he heard Lu Chunyan's strange words, the eighth master couldn't help but be stunned, frowned and thought about it, but he still had no choice, so he had to ask half of the words tentatively.

"Lord Wang Mingjian, this time the fourteenth master will be in command of the expedition will be a foregone conclusion, unless the fourth master and the third master are trying their best to oppose it, otherwise, it will be done, however, although Your Majesty is the fourteenth master, but it is not necessarily ready to rest assured, and it is inevitable to have a deployment, the previous Hongqing child has two grain roads, this time the Sichuan Governor will be difficult to fall into his hands, according to Lu, but the fourth master has more hope, even so, I can't wait to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and let the fourth master and the third master fight for it, why bother to be a villain?"

Lu Chunyan reached out and stroked the long beard on his chest, then smiled confidently, and analyzed the situation indifferently.

"This ......"

The eighth master is a shrewd person, he will not understand the way of checks and balances, and he already agrees with Lu Chunyan's analysis in his heart, but when he thinks that there are a few nails such as the grain road and the Sichuan governor behind his army, it is really difficult to feel at ease, so he hesitated and did not dare to make a decision easily.

"Don't worry about the prince, the grain road, it belongs to the fourth master, and now he has been inserted into a pole by the third master, how can he not try to pull out the nails, as for the governor of Sichuan, even if the fourth master goes, but it doesn't matter, the left and right of his subordinates are just Nian Qianyao can use his ears, how can the third master let him go free, the two sides are so open and secretly fighting, we can wait for the left and right, why not do it?"

Lu Chunyan had already made up his mind in his heart, and at this time, he was the head of the way, and when he said something, he heard that all the elder brothers nodded endlessly.

"Okay, starling, it's decided!"

The tenth master has a restless temperament, and when he heard it, he jumped out to express his attitude since he was the first one.

"Well, what Mr. said is reasonable, starling, the younger brother thinks it is indeed feasible, the fourteenth brother might as well directly hand over a message to Hongqing's child, and say that we will not hinder his plot to seize the governor of Sichuan, but I want him to sponsor the fourteenth brother as soon as possible, in addition, the artillery and ammunition and other things needed for this expedition must also be given a clear commitment by him, if he can get this, the good will also be good."

Lao Jiu is delicate, and what he says is much more in-depth than Lao Shi's blind statement, and the overall situation is obviously more than a step stronger.

"Well, that's it, it's decided, and now it's going to start, and all the younger brothers will go and prepare for one or two."

Seeing that all the younger brothers had no objections, the eighth master did not hesitate, and made a decision neatly, and there seemed to be an impatient mood between his words.

"Brother starling, rest assured, the younger brother has been prepared early in the morning."

"Starling just rest assured, the younger brothers know how to do it."

"Starling, little brother, let's go back to that kid."

……

Since the eighth master had already issued an order to expel the guests, it was not good for everyone to stay longer, so they got up one after another, and each of them explained a sentence of the scene, and they all left.

"Is there anything else you want to teach me, sir?"

The eighth master did not send off the younger brothers, so he just stood silently with a smile, until the group of people disappeared, and the smile on the eighth master's face suddenly ended, and he bowed his hand to Lu Chunyan with a solemn face, and asked very politely.

"The eighth master must have seen it, and the fourteenth master is afraid that he has a side thought."

Lu Chunyan also returned the salute with a solemn face, and almost solved the mystery word by word.

"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, it's all impossible, what should come will come eventually."

The eighth master did not deny Lu Chunyan's judgment, but shook his head with a bitter face and sighed.

"The fourteenth master has always had great ambitions, not that he didn't send it, but the time has not come, and now, since he can have the opportunity to take command, it is time for him to make a big deal, this is expected, there is no need to worry too much, there are three strategies here, when it can be called powerless."

Lu Chunyan is one of the wisest people in the world, and his vision is comparable to ordinary people, as early as more than ten years ago, he has noticed the hidden ambition in the chest of the fourteenth master, and the reason why he has never said it is just because the fire has not come, but he has long been thinking about how to deal with the disagreement of the fourteenth master, and now, the disintegration of the small group is inevitable, and Lu Chunyan has a lot less scruples, and his words are no longer hidden.

"Please teach me, sir."

At this time, the eighth master also understands that it is difficult to control the fierce horse of the old fourteenth, and only by trying to control its direction can he create the possibility of benefiting himself, no side, the two sides are still one on the surface now, and if he tears his face too early, it is really unfavorable to the overall situation - if the eighth master wants to take the position, he must also use the military power of the fourteenth master, otherwise, just by relying on those wine bags and rice bags under his hands, the eighth master does not dare to say that he can win the third master.

"The prince should be the ......, so, with a three-pronged approach, I don't have to worry about the fourteenth master not complying."

Lu Chunyan smiled confidently, took a step closer, and explained his thoughts in detail in a low voice, and listened to the eighth master's face change, and he didn't say a word for a long time......
