After talking about the unfathomable Xu Qingshan, Dewey went on to analyze: "This fourth peak. He is the least likely to ascend to the throne, although he is a confidant of His Majesty and the commander of the forbidden army. But he didn't experience much war, and he was also a civilian, so even if something happened to the lieutenant and the marshal was temporarily elected, it would be difficult for him to be him. Unless ......"

"Unless what?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Unless two of the four people, Xu Qingshan, Chen Yi, Jiang An, and Wu Kedao, will jointly recommend him!" Dewey was unequivocal. "The four of Xu Qingshan, either the generals in the army, or Hou Boxungui, want to get the recommendation of two of these four people, it is no less difficult than ascending to the sky!"

Xiao Yao's eyes did flash, and he said in his heart, that may not be. But he didn't say anything to Dewey, but just motioned for Dewey to continue. Dewey looked at Xiao Yao and said nothing, and continued: "But if Gao Feng is really on top, then he will definitely have to consider the opinions of the people who recommended him, so that the movement of the army will be very slow!" It's also more difficult to defeat Miao Jiang! ”

Picking up the teacup and taking another sip of water, Dewey continued: "As for the fifth Yunzhou Hou Wu Kedao, this person is a nobleman, and he has a great reputation among the nobles. The family motto of Yunzhou Hou has always been not to participate in the royal dispute. If Wu Kedao was appointed as the commander of the 100,000 yuan army of the Southern Expedition, he would not have clearly expressed his support for the prince, but would have put the prince in the air. Then this person is the one who will be behind the door and is very knowledgeable. If this person comes to deal with Miao Jiang, I think even if he is not as light as Taiwei, he will not be much worse! ”

Xiao Yao cut it again, and said lazily: "Then now that the problem is clear, you analyze and feel that if Jiang An and Xu Ji take the position, they will continue to maintain a relationship with the prince, and even Xu Ji may do better than Taiwei Zhang." And Chen Yi will isolate the prince when he takes the throne, and the achievements he has made are not the prince's. And although Gao Feng and Wu Kedao will not obviously stand on the side of the prince, at least nominally continue to count the princes, I say this, is there a mistake or omission? ”

Dewey frowned and said, "That's right! ”

"Then here's the problem!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Since only Chen Yi is on the throne will have a clear adverse impact on the prince, and the other four people are on the throne, the most that will change is the support for the prince." Then why did this secret force still arrange for Fusang people to assassinate the captain? ”

"Huh?" Dewey was also puzzled for a while, and said, "I can't think of it, what does Brother Xiao have to do?" ”

"I see!" Xiao Yao's eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light, and said, "What you said is biased. The four of Xu Ji may not be as you said, they all support the prince, or are biased towards neutrality! ”

Dewey looked shocked and said, "How is this possible?"

Xiao Yao pursed his lips and said: "In my hometown, there is a saying called 'bold assumptions, careful verification', let's first assume that some of these four people do not match the information you currently have, and the mastermind behind the prince and the prince is among these four people, so which of these four people do you think is the most suspicious?" ”

Hearing Xiao Yao's words, Dewey muttered the phrase "make bold assumptions and verify carefully" a few more times, raised his head, and said: "If any of these four people is really the mastermind behind the scenes, then the biggest suspect is none other than Xu Qingshan!" ”

Xiao Yao smiled slightly and said, "Oh, why is that?" ”

"The purpose of assassinating the captain must be for this 100,000 army!" Dewey said, "This Xu Qingshan and Captain Zhang are close friends, and this Jiang An also studied the art of war with Xu Qingshan in his early years. And Wu Kedao generally does not take the initiative to fight for the position of marshal, after all, after the founding of the country, he always has to avoid suspicion. And if the black hand is really Xu Qingshan, then he must have won Chen Yi's support. Of the five candidates who could become marshal, plus himself, he had already won the support of three people, one abstained, and one was missing! And after the death of the captain, he is the one with the most hope of becoming a marshal! ”

After listening to Dewey's analysis, Xiao Yao said: "Then we have now made bold assumptions, and now we are careful to verify them." What is Brother Du going to do? ”

Dewey wrinkled his brows and said, "Let me think about it for a night, you can go back and rest first!" What is the plan of action, I will sue you again tomorrow! ”

Xiao Yao nodded, got up and left Dewey's tent, went straight back, and after washing, he blew out the lamp and fell asleep.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yao was woken up by a herald again. Originally, Xiao Yao thought that Dewey had sent someone to find him, but unexpectedly it was someone sent by Taiwei Zhang. At that moment, he knew that he might have been sued by the captain of the guard for saving Taiwei Zhang, so the old captain sent someone to call him to go and prepare to reward himself with something.

I got up immediately to wash, and helplessly went hungry to see Mrs. Zhang. Yesterday, Taiwei Zhang was assassinated, and the military meeting was temporarily presided over by the crown prince. Along the way, I saw a group of generals in a hurry, gathering towards the big tent of the Chinese army. And the herald took Xiao Yao not to the big tent of the Chinese army. Instead, they headed for a northeast corner where the food and grass needed by the army were installed.

I think it was the assassination of the Tai Lieutenant, which made everyone from the prince to the general Zuo uneasy. I was afraid that I would put the captain in the original tent and invite assassins to assassinate him. And arranging it in this important land of grain and grass, even if additional people are sent to guard it, it should be normal in the eyes of the assassins. After all, the three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first. The most important thing for the army is this grain and grass.

When I walked near this grain and grass camp, I saw that there were three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry. Columns of soldiers patrolled back and forth, meticulous. And Xiao Yao was able to come in because of the token in the herald's hand. Looking at this defended grain and grass camp like an iron bucket, Xiao Yao sighed with emotion. Here is that there will be no return for the general first-class masters, which shows that the prince attaches great importance to his teacher.

After a while, Xiao Yao followed the herald to a granary. I saw that there were two seemingly ordinary soldiers guarding near this granary. If you look closely, it turns out to be two Ouchi guards. It seems that the prince cares about his teacher very much, and even the Ouchi guards came to disguise themselves as small soldiers to protect the captain.

At that moment, the herald stepped forward, showed the token, and after the two Ouchi guards checked that it was correct, they let Xiao Yao enter the granary.

When I got into this granary, I saw that there was a lot of grain and grass piled up here. Xiao Yao was stunned for a while, he originally thought that this place had been transformed into a special ward for the Taiwei to recuperate from his injuries.

The herald was not surprised, and motioned for Xiao Yao to follow him, walking through the aisle with two people's tall bales of grain and straw. I turned left and right, and walked for about half a cup of tea. Suddenly there was a clear opening in front of them, and there were ten princes standing at the end of the passage with their hands on the handles of their knives.

These guards saw Xiao Yao coming from a distance, and they all nodded to Xiao Yao with a smile. It turned out that even if the guards at this time were not effective and the owner had an accident, they would have to be buried with them according to the rules. What's more, Taiwei Zhang has a high position and power, and he has won the trust of His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If there is an accident, I am afraid that all the relatives and guards will be to blame.

So Xiao Yao came to the rescue this time, not only saving the life of the captain. It also saved the lives and future of these guards. All the guards, from the captain of the guard to the soldiers, silently wrote down this kindness in their hearts, preparing to keep it for later and find an opportunity to repay. Therefore, all the personal guards are ordinary generals, and they are not pretentious, not to mention a small five-grade forbidden army guerrilla like Xiao Yao.

But Xiao Yao didn't think there was anything, first of all, he was originally the internal guard of the imperial court, secondly, it was Dewey's request at that time, and finally the assassin was from Fusang. In his previous life, Xiao Yao was a national special operations team, and he dealt with island countries a lot. After coming and going, he made enemies with others. And in that life, Xiao Yao, as the national trump card, bullied the secret department of the island country and dared not speak out. In this life, this Fuso is a bit similar to the island country in the previous life. Then I will inevitably abuse such a person thousands of times.

At that moment, Xiao Yao also smiled and nodded to all the guards. Although this matter is not in Xiao Yao's heart, people respect me a foot, and I respect people. This is Xiao Yao's code of conduct. So after greeting the guards with a smile and nodding, the guards turned sideways and let go of the road.

But I saw that behind the guard, there was a small open space, on which were placed seats, benches, beds and other household items, and they were separated into small squares by screens. There was also a sandalwood desk and bookcase, and the old lady with a blushing face was sitting there, holding a book and reading. A small guy next to him, hunched over and waiting.

When he heard the movement here, the old lady raised his head slightly, but saw Xiao Yao walking slowly. At that moment, he put down the book in his hand, stood up, and said loudly: "The person who came is the old man's life-saving benefactor, the forbidden army guerrilla Liu Ming, General Liu?" ”

Xiao Yao had no choice but to give a military salute at the moment, and said with a straight face: "Subordinate Liu Ming, I have seen the captain!" ”

The old lady was overjoyed, nodded his head, and said: "Even General Liu, come and sit down here, if it weren't for General Liu's rescue this time, I would also return to Huangquan and wander to the underworld!" After speaking, he left the desk, walked over quickly, raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Yao's hand, and led him to sit in front of the desk.

Then he spoke: "General Liu, please bow to the old man!" The old man thanked the general for saving his life! After speaking, he bowed his head and bowed.

Xiao Yao was taken aback at the moment, where was he willing to let him really worship, he stood up immediately, held the old lady tightly with both hands, and said, "Lord Taiwei should not do this." The subordinates were guerrillas of this forbidden army, and they belonged to the establishment of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and they were controlled by the Tai Lieutenant. This time it was at the right time, and I happened to see that the captain was in trouble, how could his subordinates refuse! So this is the scope of responsibility of his subordinates, and the captain should not be like this, isn't it a loss to his subordinates? ”

The old lady didn't comply, and wanted to bow down forcibly. It's just that Xiao Yao's current skills are second only to the half-step transformation realm, and he is one of the top masters in the 100,000 army platoon, and he doesn't let the old lady bow down at the moment, but the old lady can't worship it no matter what.

The old lady only felt that this was like a big mountain, and he couldn't worship it anymore, so he had to give up at the moment. Stood up straight and praised: "General Liu is so handsome!" I'm afraid that among the 100,000 troops, there are very few people who can have the skill of a general! ”
