Wu Lao Er, like everyone else, drooped his head and kept silent, and Liu Jin's shouting and scolding above resounded throughout the room.

"What do you think you all eat? What do you eat? More than forty people went, and less than thirty returned! It's normal for this kind of thing to hurt, but what about your results? What is this? Are you embarrassed to take it back? With a 'snap', he threw the head that Wu Lao Er brought back to the ground, and then roared: "Dongchang! Jinyiwei! Seven deacons! Sixteen Commanders! There were more than 60 people in Daye City, and now? Full of full calculations in the early thirties! Half of them were broken, and as a result? ”

The more Liu Jin spoke, the more angry he became, he kept walking around the house, and when he saw the people on the ground, he didn't fight, "What are you doing here?" With an angry kick, he shot the head far away, "What do you want to do with such a thing?" What do you say you guys are for! ”

No one dared to speak, and they didn't dare to pant and lowered their heads. Liu Jin sat on the chair angrily, looking at the people below with his eyes erupting. This time the damage is indeed not small, including the three commanders who went to the Black Jade Country to assassinate and lost, a total of seven commanders were killed, and the deacons have all returned, but the losses of the grassroots personnel below are not small. But it doesn't matter, it's all good to add, but now the question is how to explain when you go back? This kind of thing must not happen again, and the barracks are already prepared.

"As soon as dawn comes, go back to your own place, and go back to reflect on yourself!" After that, he took the lead and left.

Everyone below looked up, you look at me, I look at you, everyone is unwilling and aggrieved in their eyes. No one is to blame, everyone knows that this kind of task is full of countless accidents, but they are scolded like this, and they may all think that their peaceful life has been too long.

left one after another, and Wu Lao Er was also mixed in the crowd. For him now, it doesn't matter if he is scolded, anyway, his life is still there. And Duan Tianbao didn't have any accidents, which made him even happier.

Wu Lao Er walked quickly to Hai Dafu's side and said to Hai Dafu, who was depressed: "It's okay, Master?" Why don't you go to Daye City with me for a few days? ”

Hai Dafu shook his head, "There are still a lot of things to do when I return to Beijing, this time can be regarded as our lesson." Jinyi Wei Chengping has been peaceful for a hundred years, and now is not the time for us to play majestic. Alas, thinking about the time when our East Factory repeatedly fought with the 'fine willow' of the Black Jade Country and the 'bayonet' of the Yellow Jade Country, how heroic the predecessors were! Now it seems that no one has experienced it except the Governor, so we are even more useless. ”

Wu Lao Er said indifferently: "That's no way, the Jinyi guards are still good at dealing with the heroes on the rivers and lakes, and it will be difficult for us to do anything Jing Ke and Nie Zheng." ”

"After I go back, I'm afraid that the governor will inevitably have to take responsibility, my generation is incompetent, and he will be so severely punished when he is an old man." After a sigh, Hai Dafu said to Wu Laoer: "Xiao Guizi, this time I'm afraid that the status of our East Factory will plummet, and the energy of the governor is not as good as before, and we will also start to prepare for the cultivation of a successor." Don't make any big moves when you go back, just do your duty. ”

Wu Lao Er nodded, but secretly said in his heart: I never wanted to do something earth-shattering, so I could let him live his little life peacefully.

The master and apprentice chatted for a few words and then dispersed, and Wu Lao Er summoned Duan Tianbao and the three to his room. There are some things that should be discussed.

Looking at his three subordinates, all of whom were injured, Wu Lao Er was still very guilty. After pondering for a while, he said: "This mission Governor has issued a strict order, and no one will be allowed to say it, and the three of you don't blame me for not being interesting enough." Fortunately, everyone is safe, otherwise I would have a troubled conscience for the rest of my life. ”

The three of them hurriedly got up and said: "Where do you say your lordship, how dare you spare your life to serve the country, if the news leaks out of this matter, how many lives may be taken, how can I blame my lord!" ”

Wu Lao Er stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and said in a low tone: "We are all brothers who have experienced life and death together, after this incident has passed, I, Wu Sangui, will treat everyone as brothers, and we won't talk about it." ”

Duan Tianbao, Zhang San, and Yuan Hai nodded gratefully, and Wu Lao Er continued: "When the morning dawns, we will go home, what should we do in the future, there is something I want to ask you, I hope you can all treat me as if I am a brother." ”

Duan Tianbao stood up and said loudly: "My lord Mingjian, old Duan, I am a little older, but I am usually used to being flamboyant, but since we are working under the command of adults, we must only look forward to adults." Now that I have experienced such a life and death, I will definitely be loyal to my adults in the future! ”

Zhang San and Yuan Hai also got up and said yes, Yuan Hai said: "Although the villain's brother is not here, he is in the same mood as the villain. ”

Wu Lao Er nodded and motioned for the three of them to sit down, "Actually, it's not a big deal, but you also know that Li Dongyi was killed by me, the Li family has a big cause and great power, and Li Si"

Wu Lao Er will not continue to say this, there are no fools here, even fools know what Wu Lao Er means. The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and Duan Tianbao spoke: "Actually, adults don't have to worry too much, Li Dongyi is not a direct descendant of the Li family, even if it is a side line, it is a little reluctant." It's just that he has an uncle who serves in the Left Guard Army, and I heard that he is very talented, and he is very valued by His Majesty and Wei Junhou, and he also has a certain right to speak in the Li family. If you talk about revenge, the Li family has always been difficult to provoke, but there has been no action so far, I am afraid that Li Dongyi's matter will not arouse the Li family's thoughts of revenge, the only thing to worry about is his uncle Li Gang, but we have nothing to do with the Left Guard, even if he wants to trouble us, he has nowhere to start. ”

Looking at Wu Lao Er's thoughtful look, Duan Tianbao continued: "As for Li Si's kid, adults don't have to worry, I don't know where he is stammering Li Dongyi. In fact, Li Si has nothing to do with the Li family, so he doesn't have to care about him. If he makes any small moves in the future, he will not be too late. ”

"So that's the case, I originally thought that Li Si and the Li family were related, so it seems that there should be nothing. He also made meritorious contributions to thousands of households, and I don't want to give him his power casually, so let's take a look in the future. After Wu Lao Er finished speaking, he said to the three of them: "Let's go back and prepare, let's set off in a while, fortunately, Daye City is not far away, and it is better to go back to feel at ease." ”

Not to mention that Wu Lao Er and others agreed here, in the study of Pei Ji's house in Huaiyang Mansion at this time, Pei Ji was also discussing with Ma You.

"Heh, it's really a goose all day long but I was pecked by the geese, I didn't expect it to be such a thing." Pei Ji leaned back in his chair and said with a sigh of relief.

Pei Ye of the Pei family is extremely important in the family, and many people think that Pei Ye may take over after a hundred years, and Huaiyang Mansion is one of the important bases of the Pei family. Now that Pei Ye has been killed in his family's sphere of influence, you can see how angry the Pei family is. And when the news of the assassination of many big names in the Black Jade Country came, and it was known that it was the brocade guards of the White Jade Country who did it, and the Black Jade Country was in an uproar. Pei Ji immediately knew the true identity of the so-called 'Ning Family's Young Master Ning Zhongze'.

Thinking about how smart he and Ma You thought they were, and they wanted to take off a little time, but they didn't expect to be toyed with by others.

Listening to Pei Ji's self-deprecation, Ma You comforted: "You don't have to think too much, no one would have thought that Bai Yuguo would be so crazy." A full twenty prefect-level figures were assassinated, and now not only the Pei family, but even the Han family, the Tian family, and the Chu family have been killed. The saint was furious, and the face of Kongming Mountain was lost, and I don't know how many actions there will be in the future. It's not a good thing for us, maybe some chance will fall to you. ”

Pei Ji also knew that Ma You was comforting him, shook his head and said: "How can it be so easy, the matter of our reception of the young master of the Bai Yu Guoning family is known all over the city, and we can't hide it if we want to." I won't necessarily be blamed, but it's not going to be easy anytime soon. What can be done later, the feud between the two countries has been maintained for more than 100 years, and neither side can hide it by any means. There shouldn't be any assassinations in the future, but maybe there will be a big battle after the beginning of spring. ”

After a pause, Pei Ji seemed to think of something, and said with burning eyes: "That guy who pretended to be the young master of the Ning family must have a high status in the brocade guard of the White Jade Kingdom, and he can actually preside over assassination all the way at such a young age." I heard that the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the Great Cause City of Baiyu Country is also the chief of the Zhao Palace, so he must be him. ”

Ma You looked at the man he had sworn to follow for the rest of his life, and said suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

Pei Ji lowered his voice and said, "Yes, if it's possible, maybe we can cooperate a little." ”

Ma You was shocked, and said with panicked eyes: "Don't kill you?" Can this kind of person be dealt with casually? If that guy is an ordinary businessman, he will set up a set for us, and then he will lose everything if he can't steal chickens and lose rice. ”

Pei Ji thought for a while and said: "It's hard to say now, the cooperation I'm talking about is only business, and I don't have any other ideas." Go back and send someone to Daye City to inquire about that guy's name, if it's possible, if it's possible, I don't mind giving him some favor first. ”

Ma You whispered: "Crazy you!" Dare to think about anything, dare to do anything, don't you? If something happens, have you thought about the consequences? ”

Pei Ji looked at Ma You fixedly, and said in a hoarse voice: "You, don't you know what I think?" I hate the Pei family, why do I work so hard? It's to prove to them that I'm Pei Ji, no worse than anyone else! Can those so-called family lineages, long house sons-in-law and the like compare with me? I just want them to know that even if I Pei Ji started from scratch and started as a small medicine apprentice, I won't be buried in the crowd! ”

Ma You looked at Pei Jitong's red eyes, "I know! I know everything about you, I know your background, I know your suffering. But what's the use? We tried to do our best, so that no one could look at you properly. In another ten years at most, you will have your own place in the Pei family, so why take the risk of trading with wolves! ”

"I want more than just a place, you know the horse friends! Will they give me the power and status they deserve? No! Because I was born to a concubine! My mother is dead, and she didn't even have a coffin board when she died! Therefore, I hate the Pei family, and if possible, I will be the head of the Pei family! In the worst case, I have to find a way to ruin the Pei family, and I will not hesitate to pay something for it! After saying this, Pei Ji seemed to be relieved, looked at Ma You's eyes and said, "I can't do it myself, you will help me, won't you?" ”

Looking at his friend's slightly collapsed figure after going crazy, Ma You's heart twitched for a while. The relationship between the two is not only good friends, but also like brothers, even closer than brothers. He knew about Pei Ji's hatred for the Pei family for a long time, but he never expected that there would be such a big hatred. Thinking about what he said, thinking about his experience, and thinking about himself, Ma Yu no longer hesitates.

"Of course I'm on your side, even if it's five horses!"

Seeing Pei Ji slowly calm down, Ma You continued: "But this matter can't be rushed, maybe we won't see the result in more than ten years, and if we are not careful, we will die without a place to be buried." Everything should be done slowly, not in a hurry, and in the long run. ”

Pei Ji nodded and said: "Of course I know, don't worry, I have hated it for more than thirty years, how can I be in a hurry." Time is there, let's take our time. ”

"Well, it's good that you know, the most fearful thing is that you lose your cool. Don't worry, I'll leave it to me over there in Daye City, and I'll tell you when I have news! ”

Pei Ji said emotionally: "Apart from you, I don't have anyone who can believe wholeheartedly." Only you can really understand me! ”

Ma You said calmly: "Don't say that, you better get married as soon as possible." People in their thirties have not yet married what is it, get married and have children earlier, even if you and I can't succeed, you can pass on your ambitions. And we are together all day, but there is everything outside, I am a family man, and I don't want my wife to quarrel with me all day long. ”

"Hahahaha, don't worry. Even if I don't want to, the Pei family won't let me. When I was nothing, I was in my twenties, and no one was asking me to kiss me. Now that I am in my thirties, I can be regarded as having a little interest, and the Pei family immediately went to the Han family to say goodbye. It's funny to say, the side of the Han family, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, who is okay, is actually going to marry a half-old man like me. ”

Ma You smiled bitterly: "You are not old, you are strong!" ”

You say that these two people have a conversation, who believes that they don't have a leg?

The two chatted a few more words, and Ma You said goodbye, leaving Pei Ji alone in the study. He pushed open the window, looked at the snow outside, and muttered, "Pei family, let's have a good time!" ”
