Soon, a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing a cyan robe was taken to the small living room by his own soldiers, and he heard a voice in the living room, "Is Your Excellency the official's world friend?" But this official doesn't seem to know you! ”

The middle-aged man followed the sound and looked over, and saw a majestic Shunbao wearing a suit of armor sitting on a chair looking at him unkindly, and the person who came laughed and threw his hand towards Shunbao and laughed loudly: "General Yue, there are many offenses in the right talent, if Hou doesn't say so, he can't see you, and I hope you forgive your sins." ”

Shun Bao smiled coldly: "There is no need to forgive sins, the reason why this official let you in is to hear what you, a person under the guise of being an official and a person, want to say, if you don't have what you want to say, then please go out!" ”

After speaking, Shunbao stood up and was about to leave, but the person who came hurriedly said: "General, please stay, please listen to the next word, it is not too late for you to leave." ”

Seeing that the person who came was finally anxious, Shun Bao sneered in his heart: "Say, what is the matter with you taking such great pains to find this official?"

Seeing Shunbao playing cards so unreasonably, the people who came were stunned. What's going on, according to the normal process, Shun Bao looked at such a big character and didn't know a basket of martial arts, shouldn't he show due respect and invite him to sit down and serve tea? This is not the same as the generals he has been in contact with on a daily basis. However, as a master and lobbyist, such a thing as a hindrance as the festival was naturally thrown away by him a long time ago, and when he saw that Shunbao didn't buy it, he quickly changed his attitude, and said with a smile on his face: "General, the students of the right talent have offended a lot, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

Faced with the humble attitude of this middle-aged man, Shun Bao did not have a good face towards him, but waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, let's get down to business, what are you here for, if you don't make it clear, you will go out to this official." ”

Seeing Shunbao's arrogant expression. The middle-aged man secretly hated in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be respectful and said: "So that the general can know that the student's surname is Hou Mingfeng, and he came to see the general on the order of my Xuanda Governor Lord Hong, please listen to the student's words." ”

"You came on the orders of Lord Hong?" Shunbao was slightly startled at first, and then asked suspiciously: "Why don't you say it directly, but you want to pretend to be an official and come to see this official?" ”

Hou Feng said with a smile on his face: "It's just to avoid people's eyes, don't blame the general." ”

Hearing this, Shunbao's expression suddenly began to change, he looked at Hou Feng and said word by word: "As the saying goes, everything must be said to people. This official never does those sneaky things, and you can just say anything directly. ”

Hou Feng saw that Shun Bao seemed to be really angry, so he quickly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Shun Bao, "General, this is a letter written by Lord Hong of my family, please take a look at it." ”

Shunbao, who has followed Yueyang as a scholar since he was a child, although he can't say how good he is, he can still read and read basically, he opened the envelope and opened the letter to take a look. The above is nothing more than some ordinary words, Hong Chengchou first encouraged Shunbao in the letter, and then changed the conversation, and said to Shunbao to be loyal to the court and the emperor. Then the addition of officials to the knighthood is just around the corner, there is nothing out of the ordinary in the whole letter, even if it falls into the hands of others, you can't pick out half of the sentence that is not.

It's just that Shunbao has been with Yue Yang for so many years, and he has experienced a lot of things. Naturally, I know that there are things that cannot be taken literally. In this letter, he was advised to be loyal to the emperor and the court, and the secret meaning was naturally to keep his distance from Yueyang, and if he was loyal to the court, he would naturally listen to the court. Listening to his greeting Hong Chengchou, how could Shunbao not understand the meaning of this.

Slowly put away the letter, Shun Bao said indifferently without changing his face: "Okay, this letter has also been read by the official, do you have anything else?" ”

"Uh...... This ......"

Hou Feng's expression froze, and he suddenly became a little anxious, Lord Hong's hint in the letter was already so obvious, why didn't this guy say anything at all. He couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Lord Yue, don't you want to say something to your students after reading the letter?" ”

Shunbao was stunned, "What do you want this official to say?" Lord Hong just said that he should be loyal to the court and the emperor, isn't this official an official of the Ming Dynasty now? Or is this official position not sealed by the emperor? ”

"I ......"

Hou Feng was a little dumbfounded, looking at the guy in front of him, his heart was a little itchy, and then he realized that these generals don't look like they are bosses on weekdays, but if they pretend to be stupid, they are definitely no worse than anyone else. There was no way, Hou Feng had no choice but to make his words clear.

"General Yue, Lord Hong, as the governor of Xuanda, should have the right to control the North Road, and now that the Loyal Marquis is not here, Lord Hong is very concerned about the safety of the North Road, and you are a heavy responsibility as the garrison of the state capital, so Lord Hong thinks that at this time, there must be someone to temporarily arrest all the military affairs of the North Road in the absence of the Hou Ye, and General Yue, you are the one to choose."

"Hahaha......" Shun Bao began to laugh, his laughter became louder and louder, and after a while, he stopped laughing, only to see him stand up and walk in front of Hou Feng and said gloomily: "I also said that Lord Hong, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, the feelings are to sow discord, let the official take charge of the defense of the North Road?" It's a shame that you can figure it out, this kind of shoddy trick to deceive a three-year-old child is almost the same, if you want to deceive the official, it's better to save it, come on...... Drop-off! ”

As Shun Bao's words fell, two sturdy sergeants immediately came in outside the door, they walked up to Hou Feng and made a gesture of please, Hou Feng still wanted to lie on the chair, but was picked up by the two and walked out, Hou Feng was so anxious that he shouted: "Wait...... Master Yue, the student hasn't finished his sentence yet...... Wait......"

Looking at Hou Feng, who was dragged out of the door by the sergeant, Shunbao snorted lightly, and said to himself while putting away the letters on the table: "I want to take advantage of the young master's absence to attack the North Road, do you really think that the young master can let you do whatever you want when he is not there?" Thinking about the young master is too simple. ”

In the evening of the same day, Shunbao sent someone to invite Yue Laifu in Wuli Village, told him about today's events, and gave Yue Laifu a letter. After hearing this, Yue Laifu patted Shunbao's shoulder and said with relief: "Good boy, there is no waste of Lao Tzu's usual teachings. You have to remember, you can't write two Yue characters in one stroke, our ancestors have been begging for life in Yuejiazhuang for three generations, thanks to the old lady and the old lady who did not give up on letting your grandfather and your old son and I become the steward of Yuejiazhuang, now I can still be a small official when I am old, and you can become a guerrilla general from a little scholar. We are already content in this life, don't think about things that don't belong to us. Otherwise, it's very likely that you'll end up with a chicken and an egg, understand? ”

"Daddy, the child understands." Shun Bao nodded: "How the young master came over step by step over the years We all see it in our eyes one by one, it is not easy for the young master to save these belongings, now that the young master is not here, we have to help the young master take care of these belongings, but the young master has only been away for a few days, and immediately someone is worried about the young master's things, and the child is worried that although the child rejected Lord Hong today." But what kind of person is Lord Hong, he is the governor of Xuanda, and outsiders are rumored that this person is ruthless, since he is worried about our north road, it will never be only such a one, and the child estimates that the next hand will come soon. ”

"yes!" Yue Laifu frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "By the way, have you informed the old lady and the young lady about this?" ”

Shunbao shook his head and said, "Not yet, didn't the child discuss it with you first." ”

Yue Laifu was a little anxious: "You stupid boy." I was still stunned for what to do, so I hurriedly sent someone to send a letter to the old lady and the young lady, tell them about today's incident, and then send the letter written by Hong Chengchou to you together. This letter is too hot to stay with us. ”

"Not really...... Father. Shunbao was a little puzzled and said: "This letter doesn't write anything out of the ordinary, if it is handed over to the young lady, I am afraid it will attract some unnecessary speculation." ”

As soon as Shun Bao finished speaking, he immediately suffered a violent shudder from his own Lao Tzu, "Bastard thing." You know what. Although you Lao Tzu and I don't read much, there are some things that Lao Tzu can see more clearly than you, and this letter is not written anything out of the ordinary. But whether you send it or not is another matter, if someone pokes it out in the future, the young master will inevitably have a pimple in his heart, maybe this letter alone will make you plant a big heel, now if you hand him over to the young lady and the old lady, there will be nothing to do with you, do you understand. Don't underestimate the young grandmother of our family, although the Yingzhou Mansion is now nominally in your hands, the old man can guarantee that if you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, I'm afraid the young lady will be the first to deal with you! ”

Yue Laifu's words carried an indescribable affirmation.

"Isn't it, the young lady is so powerful?" Shunbao still didn't believe it.

"You know a!" Yue Laifu pointed to his head and said, "Do you know how many people are staring at you now, and if you are still so arrogant in the future, you don't know if you will be calculated to death one day." ”

Don't look at Yue Laifu is very confused in many things, but he is more shrewd than anyone else in dealing with how to get along with his master, after all, he is an old man who has served three generations, and his psychological speculation about the head of the family is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

In the end, Shunbao still obeyed his own Lao Tzu's Jianyì, and hurriedly wrote a letter together with the letter sent by Hou Feng today and sent someone to Hunyuan Prefecture overnight, and then Shunbao ordered the full name of martial law to be strictly investigated, and ordered the army of Yingzhou Capital and Wulizhai to start strengthening their vigilance.

When Hai Lanzhu received the letter sent by Shunbao overnight in the afternoon of the next day, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and she said to Jiang He, who was standing in front of her, "This Shunbao is still quite sensible, and he won't send things so quickly, it seems that someone should have given him advice." ”

"It's not difficult to guess this person, it must be his Lao Tzu Yue Laifu." A rare smile appeared on Jiang He's gloomy face, "Yue Laifu doesn't look at being confused in other things, but he is shrewd in this kind of thing. ”

Hai Lanzhu's pretty face also showed a hint of relief: "That's for sure, after all, he has been a housekeeper for Xianggong for decades, and this kind of thing is the most sensitive for him." By the way, is there any movement on the Datong side? ”

"Yes." Jiang He nodded: "According to the report from the spies lurking in Datong, since the day before yesterday, the 6,000 soldiers and horses of the supervision battalion personally commanded by Hong Chengchou have left the station in the name of drills. Then they first circled around Datong a few times, and then secretly drove towards the north road, and now they are stationed in a valley in Fujin, Shaguo County. It's less than two hundred miles away. If you march in a hurry, you can reach Hunyuan Prefecture in one day and night. ”

Hai Lanzhu frowned after hearing this, and asked again, "Is that all?" ”

"That's all for now."

"That's it!" Hai Lanzhu looked at the letter sent by Shunbao on the table and was silent, and Jiang He just stood aside with his hands down, and after a long time, Hai Lanzhu waved his hand, "Master Jiang, you go down first." ”

"Yes!"

After Jiang He retreated, Hai Lanzhu pondered alone for a long time, and then picked up the letter on the table, walked out of the study, and walked towards a corner in the northwest of the backyard......

Just when Hong Chengchou and Hai Lanzhu were each using their own means seven or eight hundred miles apart, they were in an alley in Yingzhou Mansion. Hou Feng, who was supposed to have left, walked in this alley, he came to a secluded courtyard, knocked on the copper ring in front of the door, and the sound of knocking on the knocker was unhurried and very regular.

Soon, the door was opened a gap for only one person to enter, Hou Feng immediately got into it through the gap, and then the door was immediately closed.

Hou Feng, who entered the small courtyard, immediately saw more than fifty sturdy men standing in the courtyard, these men were wearing all kinds of clothes, but they were all carrying weapons. There are also many people who carry bows and crossbows behind their backs. Judging from the style of these bows and crossbows, they are all standard crossbows that only the army can have.

A resolute-faced man in his thirties walked out of the crowd and asked Hou Feng, "Master Hou, how are you talking?" ”

Hou Feng shook his head solemnly, "This Shunbao is really loyal to Yue Yang, he was not moved by the good conditions we offered him, I was rejected." ”

"It's to be expected." The man snorted coldly, "If even the housekeeper and scholar who have served him for three generations betrayed him, then Yue Yang would have been uprooted many times. But since Shunbao is so ignorant, then we have to send him on his way. ”

Hou Feng said with some worry: "That Yue Shunbao is the guard of the Yingzhou Mansion. With dozens of guards around us, it's not so easy for us to attack. ”

"What are you afraid of!" The man said with a cold face: "Unless that Yue Shunbao stays in his garrison mansion all day, as long as he appears, our chance will come." ”

Hou Feng was still a little worried: "After all, this matter is a matter of importance. If we fail, none of us will be able to escape. ”

"Humph......"

The man glanced at Hou Feng with disdain, "If Master Hou is afraid, he can return to Datong first, General Hong Antong gave a strict order before the official came, if Yue Shunbao doesn't know how to lift." He must be eradicated, as long as Yue Shunbao is dead, our army can legitimately march into Yingzhou Capital to take over the city defense and army. There is also Wuli Village, which must also be taken down. As long as the Yingzhou Mansion is taken, even if Yue Yang comes back from the victory outside the gate, he will become a source of water and a tree without roots, and at that time, it doesn't matter if he is a loyal and brave marquis or a loyal and brave king, whether it is round or flat, it is up to us to handle! ”

Speaking of this, the man's face showed an excited look, he has been a hundred president by Hong Chengchou's side for three years, he can be sure that as long as he can complete this task, his promotion to the thousand president is a sure thing, not to mention that for him who is proficient in archery, it is not too difficult to snipe a person.

"This ......"

At this time, Hou Feng was also entangled, this mission seemed simple, but the risks contained in it were very huge, if they failed, all of them would have to stay here, even if they succeeded, the possibility of escaping was very small, after all, the more than 2,000 city guards in Yingzhou Capital were not vegetarians. But if he can successfully assassinate Yue Shunbao and escape, then the harvest is very amazing, and he may no longer have to be a staff member who can only give advice behind the scenes.

Qipin is really lacking in county orders, how many Jinshi with the title of the gold list may not be able to get it, if he can be a county order, it is simply the ancestral tomb smoking.

Thinking of this, a glint appeared in Hou Feng's eyes, he gritted his teeth and said to the man: "Okay, I'll do it with you, but how to do this thing and how to do it depends on me." ”

"Absolutely!"

The man laughed, and Pu Fan's big hand slapped Hou Feng's shoulder hard, almost knocking Hou Feng to the ground......

The night passed, the morning sun rose from the horizon as usual, and when the warm sun shone on the eaves, Shun Bao began another day's work.

As the highest military governor of Yingzhou Prefecture, he does not say much or less every day, but inspecting the city defense is an indispensable job, Shunbao has always stubbornly believed that his young master handed over Yingzhou City to himself, if he lost it in his own hands, he would die a hundred times and could not escape the blame, so inspecting the city defense became his daily routine work, and almost everyone in the city knew about it.

Shun Bao was still draped all over his body, a set of Gothic armor weighing thirty-five pounds was worn on his body, the black and gray armor and the red hat tassel on his head and the sword hanging from his waist made him look majestic, and around him were dozens of heavily armed guards.

Out of the mansion, Shunbao got on the horse, waved his hand with the guard beside him and said, "Go!" ”

It's just that as soon as Shun Bao's words came out, an arrow shot from an eaves about a hundred paces away from him, hitting the chest of Shun Bao, who couldn't dodge, and Shun Bao immediately screamed and then turned over and fell to the ground...... (To be continued......)
