Chapter 747: The Decisive Battle (8)

Back in the camp, after Li Xian returned to his big tent, he asked people to find Wanyulou again. While Jia'er was serving him to take a shower and change clothes, Wan Yulou was already waiting outside. I was going to take a mandarin duck bath with Jia'er, but I had to cancel this year because a fat man came too fast.

After changing into dry clothes, Li Xian slowly walked into the reception tent, Wan Yulou followed him in, perhaps he had just experienced such an exciting encounter with Li Shimin's people, this fat man's face was not tired but a little excited. I have just taken a bath, and the white and chubby Wan Yulou looks like a steamed bun that has just come out of the pot, which makes people look extraordinarily appetizing......

"My lord, what do you have to tell my minister?"

Wan Yulou stood aside in an orderly manner, hanging his head and speaking.

"Don't be so restrained, Lone knows it's not your nature."

Li Xian sat down, pointed to the stool in front of him and said, "Sit down." ”

Wan Yulou hesitated for a moment and did not refuse. Hold your ass on the stool and hang your head to make a twisting shape. Such a big fat man, the way he twists it up is really bright. Li Xian couldn't help but smile and asked, "I heard that you and Wang Qinian and Wu Bushan have a very good relationship in private, right?" ”

"Yes......"

Wan Yulou responded, then shook his head and said, "But...... Sometimes the minister wanted to beat the two of them hard. ”

"Well, that's true."

Li Xian nodded, then leaned down and said in a low voice: "Actually, sometimes when I see Wang Qinian, I want to beat him up. There's no reason for it, it's the kind that wants to beat him when you see him. ”

Hearing this, Wan Yulou's eyes lit up, and he raised his head violently and said, "Yes, yes, that's how it feels." When he saw him, he wanted to pout the shriveled old man's Luo pot to him, and several times the ministers couldn't help but want to do it...... But when that guy opened his mouth and closed his mouth, he used the title of county marquis to press the ministers...... The minister really didn't dare to beat him. ”

"It's fine."

Li Xian shook his head with a smile and said, "If Lone beats him, this is a loss of identity...... When you make some more contributions, Lone will also give you the title of county marquis. You two have the same title and the same grade, so it's just right to beat him. ”

"Thank you, lord!"

Wan Yulou hurriedly got up.

"Don't thank you yet...... Let's talk about it after making a contribution. ”

Li Xian sat up straight, pondered for a while, and said, "Lone asks you, the people in the Military Inspectorate, who do you think you can cooperate with the most at ease?" Of course, there are not many people in the military inspection office inside and outside the camp now, and there are not many people who can choose for you...... Loneliness only gives you two choices. ”

He stretched out a finger: "Wu Bushan"

Stretch out another finger: "Guan Xiaoshu"

Wan Yulou was stunned, and a very strong ominous feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. His heart began to beat faster, and he couldn't help but feel that his hands began to tremble.

"Lone prefers fat people, so let you choose first."

Li Xian smiled and said: "Wang Qinian will arrive later, and when he comes, this question will be asked to him." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he heard someone outside say in a unique flattering voice: "The minister King Qi Nian asks to see the lord." ”

"Get in here"

The door curtain opened, and Wang Qinian, who was as thin as a dead wood, walked in with a smile on his face, hanging his head slightly, and smiling flatteringly: "The minister has long wanted to come over to ask the lord for peace, but there are indeed too many things in the baggage camp." Since the lord handed over this errand to the minister, the minister naturally could not neglect his duties. I don't know if I can't hear the minister's heartfelt praise, and my lord, you haven't adapted to it in the past few days. ”

Li Xian couldn't help laughing, pointed at Wang Qinian and asked Wan Yulou, "Is it this time, do you want to do it specially?" ”

Wan Yulou nodded vigorously and said, "That's right! ”

Hearing Wan Yulou's voice, Wang Qinian was startled: "Oh, I'm ...... How are you here. ”

Oops I-...... Because in front of Li Xian, Wang Qinian didn't dare to say the fourth word.

"Sit it all"

Li Xian waved his hand and ordered: "Gu found the two of you today, naturally it is not a small chat. This time I went to Xiangyang to make sure that I could solve the problem quickly, and of course the two of you also understand this, and the reason why I said these words to you just now is to let you relax a little...... Because what you want to do next will definitely not be easy. ”

"Is there any danger?"

Wang Qinian asked subconsciously.

After reacting, he immediately changed his words and said: "What the minister means is that the minister is older than Wan Yulou, and if there is any danger, it is better to leave it to the minister." He has many years to live...... Doesn't the lord often teach the minister to respect the old and love the young, how can the minister watch the baby of Wanyulou do dangerous things. ”

Li Xian hummed and said, "Gao Feng Liangjie." ”

Wan Yulou muttered in a low voice: "Shameless ......"

Li Xian smiled and said, "Since Wang Qinian has this demeanor, then you don't have to be polite to Wanyulou." Lonely's question just now, you should answer it first. This is the opportunity given to you by Wang Qinian, and you must grasp it yourself. ”

"I understand."

Wan Yulou's face became extremely entangled, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "Guan Xiaoshu, a minister, doesn't know about it, and he hasn't worked with him. But the minister heard that this person is extremely capable, and he is the most capable of the six departments. It's just that Chen and Wu Bushan have done a lot of things together, and they are more familiar with each other and have a more tacit understanding. ”

"You mean, you choose Wu Bushan?"

Li Xian asked.

"Yes"

Wan Yulou bowed his head.

"Okay"

Li Xian nodded, turned his head to look at Wang Qinian, and asked in a regretful tone: "Lone will choose a feng shui treasure place for you to use as a cemetery, you have to remember that you failed to enjoy your old age because of Wanyulou, not ......Lonely."

……

……

Wang Qinian's face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "Lord...... The minister didn't make any mistakes. ”

"Nope!"

Li Xian shook his head firmly.

He smiled and explained, "There are two missions for you, one for each of you. But Lone doesn't decide what to do with the two of you, so the choice is up to the two of you. Wan Yulou arrived first, so Lone let him choose. And you don't have an opinion, didn't you just say that the difficult things will be handed over to you, and the easier ones will be handed over to him. ”

"Minister......

Wang Qinian swallowed hard and spat at the mouth: "The minister doesn't know what to do yet...... Of course, the minister remembered the teaching of the lord to respect the old and love the young, that ...... But! Since it is official business, you must think about the lord. Anything is nothing compared to you, so the minister still thinks that he should choose what the minister can do......"

"Shameless!"

Wan Yulou glanced at Wang Qinian, and then clenched his fists and said seriously: "The lord is fair, since he has already made a decision, he will naturally not change it easily." Otherwise, how can you win the trust of your courtiers? If you can't win the trust of your courtiers, how can you win the trust of the world? So...... Your lord, you still command, what are you going to let your ministers do? ”

"Didn't you choose Wu Bushan?"

Li Xian said with a smile: "Wu Bushan is now lurking in Li Shimin's camp, and the strength around him is still quite weak, so I plan to let you go into Li Shimin's camp and contact Wu Bushan." You two are at ease to do things alone, as for what to do, Wu Bushan will naturally tell you. ”

"Minister......

Wan Yulou's Adam's apple rose and fell a few times, and he felt a terrible pain in his throat.

Li Xian turned his head to look at Wang Qinian and said, "Since Wan Yulou chose Wu Bushan, then you can only choose Guan Xiaoshu...... Guan Xiaoshu entered Xiangyang City alone, and it was difficult for him to succeed without helpers. Therefore, Lone must send someone to find a way to enter Xiangyang City and assist Guan Xiaoshu in doing what he has to do. ”

Wang Qinian was stunned and couldn't help but say: "But the gate of Xiangyang City is closed, and you can't enter at all." ”

Li Xian nodded: "Do you know how to climb the wall?" ”

Wang Qinian shook his head vigorously: "No!" ”

"That's why Lone will say, it is Wanyulou who harms you. Since you can't climb the wall, if you want to enter Xiangyang City, you have to climb the two-zhang high city wall to enter...... With your ability, ten out of ten will fall to death. Rest assured, since Lone promised to choose a good cemetery for you, Lone will not perfunctory you. ”

"The minister will climb the wall!"

Wan Yulou immediately stood up and said solemnly: "Although the minister did not have the opportunity to listen to the lord's teaching on respecting the old and loving the young, I heard General Wang say that the four words of respecting the old and loving the young have been deeply touched by General Wang just now. How could a minister watch an old guy climb such a high wall? It's better for a minister to do such a difficult thing. You don't need to climb the wall to enter Li Shimin's camp, you just need to walk in...... So the minister thought, let General Wang do the simple thing. ”

"High Wind and Bright Festival!"

Li Xian repeated what our Wang Qinian said just now.

"Shameless!"

Wang Qinian muttered in a low voice.

"In that case......

Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Wan Yulou, you just find a way to enter Xiangyang City." As for how to get in, it seems that it is difficult for you. As for Wang Qinian...... Why don't you thank Wan Yulou for being so humble and polite? ”

"Minister......

Wang Qinian looked at Wan Yulou fiercely and said, "Thank you to the eight generations of ancestors of Wan Yulou for ......"

Wan Yulou said seriously: "I'm sorry for my eight generations of ancestors. ”

"Okay, Wang Qinian, you go back to work on the heavy camp first, as for when to contact Wu Bushan, Gu will look for you again. The matter of entering Xiangyang City is more urgent, and you stay in Wanyulou. That's right...... Wang Qinian, you prepare the things used in Wanyulou in the baggage camp, and you will use them tomorrow night at the latest. ”

"Whoa!"

Wang Qinian responded happily, turned around and walked out of the big tent. Looking at Wang Qinian's relaxed and happy expression, Wan Yulou suddenly felt that he had been calculated?

……

……

The night was as thick as ink, and the torches on the walls of Xiangyang City looked like only the size of a bean grain of light flickered from afar. The guards on duty on the city wall walked back and forth, and from time to time they looked at the two company camps on both sides of the Han River. On one side is Yan Yunjun's, and on the other side is Qin Wangjun's. Looking at it from a distance, the lights are like a sea, and it is actually with a different kind of magnificent beauty.

In the darkness, dozens of men in black suits quietly approached the city wall. They hide their bodies completely in the dark, and their movements are as light as tanuki's. The leader was a fat man with a covered face and a pair of small eyes full of light. I don't know if this fat man is a human being, so heavy, he is as light as a huge butterfly, and he has reached the foot of the city wall in a few ups and downs.

The people behind followed one after another, and everyone squatted in a line under the base of the wall.

The fat man at the head looked at the city wall more than two feet high and let out a slight sigh. He shook his head, then tightened his belt. He stretched out two hands with deerskin gloves, grabbed the right angle of the bend of the wall, and jumped up with a sharp breath. He grabbed the corner of the wall with both hands, and climbed up a large section with his feet, using both hands and feet, and climbed the edge of the wall in just two or three minutes.

Showing his head and looking around, seeing that there were no patrolling soldiers passing by, the fat man hooked his hand to the wall battlement, and jumped up as soon as he turned over. Quickly tying the rope around his back to the wall battlement, he squatted in the dark to be on guard. The man in black outside the city wall caught the rope and began to climb one after another.

After calculating the time, the soldiers patrolling the city would pass every half hour. These dozens of men can just reach the city as fast as they can, and one more person is afraid that they will be discovered. After dozens of people all went up, they tied the rope to the wall battlement on the other side and slid into Xiangyang City in the night.

Xiangyang City

In a dilapidated Guandi temple.

Behind the broken statue of Emperor Guan sat a man in his twenties, dressed in black. Even if you search carefully, it is extremely difficult to detect his presence in the night. He closed his eyes and his fingers gently caressed the flask beside him.

The flask is empty.

After a while, the young man opened his eyes, slowly got up, hesitated for a moment, and then walked outside the ruined temple.

His goal

Xiangyang City Palace.
