Li Da suddenly laughed when he heard this: "General Niu is really lovely......

I was about to explain again, but I heard the voice of the pro-soldier outside urging urgently: "The parade is about to disperse, Gao Shiming's old miscellaneous hair is back, and the general is moving faster!"

This turn of events interrupted the conversation between the two men, and they both quit the military tent in unison. Niu Jinsong led the people to scatter around, ready to monitor Gao Shiming. On the contrary, Li Da was hung on the spot, a little embarrassed, but then he coughed dryly twice and walked away slowly with his hands behind his back.

After a short time, Gao Shiming really returned under the escort of two soldiers of the Three Guards, and the sharp-eyed people could see at a glance that these two people were the personal soldiers on duty beside Li Xin. When he arrived at the door of the military tent, Gao Shiming politely thanked the two soldiers, and after sending them away, he turned around, and the smile on his face faded. He impatiently stepped into the tent, and when he saw that there was no one in the tent, and there was no vision, his heart relaxed slightly. But when his gaze fell on the copper lock, his heart couldn't help but chuckle for a moment, followed by a dizzying wild beat.

Because Gao Shiming clearly found that the copper lock had been turned over when he locked it before, he quickly leaned down to take a closer look, and sure enough, the hair on it was gone. This series of discoveries made Gao Shiming suddenly creepy, he knew that the emperor's secret decree inside was a talisman for him, although he himself had no intention of targeting Li Xin, but if this secret decree fell into Li Xin's hands, how could he explain it? It must be known that such a crucial matter related to life and death, even if you secretly get rid of yourself, it is not impossible.

Gao Shiming suddenly regretted in his heart, what he regretted was not that he came to the barracks, but that he regretted not destroying this secret decree earlier, even if he could return to the emperor one day in the future, he could explain that he was in distress in the sea, and all his belongings were swept away by the sea. If we had made such a decision earlier, how could we be in danger today?

Thinking of this, Gao Shiming took out the key with trembling hands, and failed to insert the key into the lock hole several times, and I don't know how much it took, and finally heard a click, the lock spring of the copper lock popped open, and the copper lock fell to the ground in response. He lifted the lid of the box impatiently, and reached into his shirt to touch the secret message. When the fingers came to the feedback touch of Huang Aya and the secret decree, Gao Shiming couldn't help but thank God, crying with joy, still there, the secret decree was still there. In fact, at this juncture of ups and downs, he has lost the most basic judgment, why don't he want to think about it, the hair on the copper lock is gone, even the copper lock is turned over and locked, someone must have opened it. And once the copper lock has been opened, how can the secret decree be spared?

However, people in a desperate situation may be like this, just like the person who fell into the water, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, even a straw must be desperately grasped, as if as long as the straw is grasped, the fleeting life can be saved. However, the truth is cruel after all, and the drowning person will eventually find that even if the straw is firmly grasped in his hand, it cannot stop the body from falling.

Gao Shiming was like this, he trembled and excitedly pulled the secret decree out of the imperial silk, and the broken sealing mud came into his eyes, as if a heavy hammer had hit his chest hard, and he stumbled down in a few steps, and if he hadn't held the wooden box in front of him, he would have fallen to the ground.

At this moment, Gao Shiming's heart was miserable, he didn't take any chances, knowing that this powerful secret decree had been spied on by the Three Guards. For a while, my heart was like ashes, and I knew that I was in trouble. Since he stood out from the palace, he has supervised the army several times as a eunuch in the court, and he asked himself that he is not much better than the feudal officials who call one side, and only now has he finally discovered a terrible and unwilling to admit it.

In the past, politeness and stammering were all illusions, and what they were stammering was in awe of the imperial power, and he himself, to put it mildly, was just a royal dog. Now that the world is in chaos and the imperial power is falling, I'm afraid that few of them, the dogs who are wandering around, will end well.

After thinking about it for a while, Gao Shiming calmed down, he silently took off his three-guard military uniform, and put on his middle coat and green robe neatly, and then carefully dragged the secret decree into his arms. What puzzled him now was that it was clear that someone had already known and read the secret decree in his arms, but why didn't they take it away, didn't they know that if this secret decree fell into the hands of someone with a heart, it would bring great trouble to the Three Guards and the Hou of Zhenyu?

Soon, Gao Shiming denied that the person who discovered the secret will be so stupid, but if it wasn't for this, then why did he do it? He was puzzled, but he didn't dare to rush out of the military tent, as if someone would come to capture him immediately after leaving the military tent.

Suddenly, Gao Shiming slapped his thigh, and said firmly in his heart: This must be those people who didn't dare to make a decision in a hurry and went to ask the marquis of Zhen. So how do you cope? As soon as he thought of this, Gao Shiming jumped up violently and hurried out of the military tent, he wanted to confess to the Zhenlu Marquis before revealing himself to the other party, so that the mountain that had been carrying his back in his heart could be calmly removed, and it was not his own business how to deal with this secret decree.

Even if the situation is repeated in the future, it is a hypothesis that it has not happened, after all, it has reached the threshold of life and death at this moment, where will it take care of anything else.

Gao Shiming hurriedly ran in the direction of the dock, and it happened that the two soldiers who escorted him back seemed to have something to delay for a while and didn't go far, so they just called them to stop and went to see Li Xin together. It's just that in a hurry, Gao Shiming didn't notice that there were two soldiers not far behind him.

……

After the parade, Li Xin met with the main officers of the fleet, especially Wallace and other foreign officers, who were all experienced veteran sailors, far from being comparable to the landlubbers who had just joined the fleet of the Three Guards.

It was at this juncture that Gao Shiming rushed back in a hurry, and he didn't care about the crowd, so he wanted to drag Li Xin to a secluded place in public and say that there was a very urgent matter to report, and he couldn't delay for a moment. Li Xin was baffled by Gao Shiming's sudden movements, and it was only a moment before he was separated, how did this person become such a virtuous person in front of him, like a mourning examiner.

"Tall and slow, what is this? What's the matter with this? ”

Seeing that Li Xinda had a disapproving posture, Gao Shiming couldn't say this in front of everyone, so he had to say vaguely and solemnly: "Big things, fatal big things, can't be delayed for a moment!" He was afraid that Li Xin's subordinates would suddenly jump out and expose the secret decree in advance, so wouldn't he be passive at that time?

Although Li Xin knew that this Gao Shiming was quite selfish, after all, he had the feelings of working together in Taiyuan, so it was not good to overdo this person's face, so he said to the officers of the fleet: "Today, for the time being, the achievements of the fleet since its establishment are obvious to all, and I hope you will continue to work hard!" ”

Finally arrived at a secluded place, only Gao and Li were left, Gao Shiming wiped the cold sweat on his head, and then took out the secret letter from his arms tremblingly, and carefully and solemnly held it in front of Li Xin.

"Look at it, this thing is on our family for a day, and it will torture our family to sleep and eat, and I feel guilty!"

At this time, Li Xin also realized the weight of the thing that Gao Shiming was holding, and vaguely guessed what it was. But he didn't stretch out his hand to pick it up, but asked: "This is not Li Xin's thing, Li Xin is only afraid that it is not suitable to touch, and Gao Gong is restless in his sleep, why not decide to deal with it?" ”

Gao Shiming didn't want to get Li Xin to take advantage of himself at the critical moment, and his heart Dao had to let him see this thing no matter what, and then destroy it in front of him, so that the future troubles could be eliminated.

Thinking of this, Gao Shiming didn't care about anything else, and forcibly stuffed the secret decree that had been spread out into Li Xin's hands, but the posture was, I don't care, what do you care about?

In fact, Li Xin didn't want to read it, but he was afraid that Gao Shiming was a person in the palace after all, and he obviously had a secret edict in his hand. As a last resort, he will not throw away the banner of the imperial court, and only in this way can he closely unite the officials of the provinces south of the Yangtze River around him.

But Gao Shiming was obviously serious, not only stuffed that thing into his hands, but also roughly explained the content. It's just that this content makes Li Xin both chill and feel expected. Zhu Youzhen's suspicion of his Li Xin had been frequently revealed as early as the beginning of the year, so it was not surprising that there was a secret letter to Wei Guogong.

At the same time, Li Xin couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, Wei Guogong was difficult to protect himself at the moment, if he was a little more conservative and had been sitting in Nanjing, he should be passive at the moment. And Gao Shiming at that time would never be as honest with himself as he is now.

Li Xin only looked at Gao Shiming indifferently, he wanted to see how this celebrant eunuch would deal with this secret decree. Another thing that made Li Xin feel strange was the sudden change in Gao Shiming's attitude, maybe the change of things was in the moment after the parade, maybe there was some pressure and change that forced this eunuch to be truthful.

It wasn't until Li Xin looked at the secret decree in his hand that Gao Shiming said in an extremely resolute tone: "These days, the contradictions in our family are not enough for outsiders, but in the end, the Hou Naiguo is the brightest of the country, long live the Lord self-destruction of the Great Wall, although our family is a slave, we can't ignore it." ”

After that, Gao Shiming took back the secret decree from Li Xin's hand, tore it to pieces in a few clicks, and then said with relief: "Maybe this is the best result!" ”

Li Xin was stunned by Gao Shiming's actions, he actually tore apart Zhu Youzhen's secret decree in front of him, which is how determined a eunuch is to do it. But at the same time, Li Xin also understood that Gao Shiming was showing his heart to himself.

Li Xin turned his head, and suddenly found that Niu Jinsong was looking nervously at this place from a distance, and his heart suddenly understood, it seemed that this change was absolutely inseparable from him.
