Zhou Xiaocao looked at Wang Rui with a smile and said, "Do you know why I asked you to come?" ”

Wang Rui said excitedly: "Zhilu Dao, let's go and kill that kid, the last general can't help it a long time ago!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao slapped Wang Rui on the shoulder: "Confused! If we kill him so blatantly, I might as well have allowed you to kill him in the pharmacy just now! ”

Wang Rui is a general who rushed out on the battlefield, and for some dirty methods in the rivers and lakes, it is far less knowledgeable than Zhou Xiaocao, who has read many books and watched many film and television dramas. Seeing that Zhou Xiaocao didn't mean that, he suddenly couldn't turn around: "What does the general mean?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao swallowed his chest and said slowly: "Kill, you still have to kill." It's just that we can't kill. Of course, we had to kill him. ”

Wang Rui was even more confused: "General, the last general is confused!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "You, you have long been confused! I mean, let's pretend to kill him, so that the people over there think that someone else killed him. And we, who have openly claimed in the pharmacy that we can't do it, of course we didn't kill it, right? ”

Wang Rui understood at this time: "It turns out that the general wants to bring disaster to the east?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao said with a smile: "I called you here because I trust you!" At present, for me, the biggest enemy is not Ximenqing, not some bandit remnant on the mountain, but the loyal king. ”

"King Chung?"

Wang Rui didn't expect that behind this incident, there was the shadow of King Zhong. Zhou Xiaocao said: "The loyal king is not loyal. This is an indisputable fact. If it weren't for this, the emperor would not have specifically given him the title of King Zhong to humiliate him. But. A few years ago, my emperor was riddled with illness. The first emperor neglected political affairs and gave some young people an opportunity to take advantage of. At that time, the father of King Zhong, Prince Gong also had some careful thoughts. In this way, a criminal gang was formed with the mission of overthrowing the current imperial court. The first emperor had already expected this kind of scene to happen, so he naturally would not fail to take precautions. Those guys, who thought they were super strong and strategized, didn't want to think about it, and they were improvised chickens and dogs. How can you shake this solid pillar of the court? Around the emperor, people who are more resourceful and strategic than me have countless vehicles. Loyal to the king, what to fight with the emperor? He can't make it, and he can't make it! ”

Wang Rui listened to these words in a cold sweat. Since ancient times, no one wants to get involved in the family affairs of emperors unless it is a last resort. Zhou Xiaocao said. Although he expressed his position of resolutely standing on the side of the emperor, on one side is the emperor and on the other side is the prince. No one can afford to offend! Wang Rui is sure that if he is not careful, he will definitely be cannon fodder.

Wang Rui trembled and said: "The general is the last general and the last general is foolish. Only wars. If you let the last general go into battle to kill the enemy, you may be able to establish the merit of the end of the micro; But if you let the last general fight wits and courage. There is nothing the last will do! ”

Zhou Xiaocao said with a smile: "General Wang has misunderstood! I'm just talking about what I mean. I just want to warn some people that they must not lose their bias in their actions. Otherwise, by the time you regret it, it will be too late. ”

Wang Rui lowered his head and said, "Yes, yes!" The last general knows what to do, and the last general will definitely not mess around! ”

Zhou Xiaocao looked at him for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, let's get here first for this matter." Begonia Four Charms, listen to my orders, the four of you pay attention to Ximenqing's activity trajectory, and choose the opportunity to kill him! ”

The four charms of Begonia responded in unison: "Yes!" "Turn and leave.

When Wang Rui faced Zhou Xiaocao alone, his heart did not become more relaxed, but he felt the kind of coercion from Zhou Xiaocao even more, terrifying, and like substance, just like the dark clouds that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

It seems that the General Zhou in front of him is not as simple as the rumors say.

Wang Rui, the little general of the forbidden army, lives in the capital, and he has also heard of this Zhou Xiaocao, who is in the limelight. It's just that most of the news he heard was lace news, such as Zhou Xiaocao spent a lot of money with Du Qigongzi in the Qinglou, just to get a girl's head; For example, Zhou Xiaocao once created a Zhou's counting method in Cangzhou that is specially used for businessmen to settle accounts; Another example is that Zhou Xiaocao once wrote so many poems, which were widely sung by the sergeants and celebrities in the capital.

However, since he followed Zhou Xiaocao, who suddenly became a general, he traveled all the way to Cangzhou, eating and drinking all the way, planning to seize the lair of the bandits in Bishan, and quickly slaughtering the local official Kang Boquan, and immediately decided to investigate in many ways for the sake of the forbidden soldiers who were suffering from injuries, and pointed out that the real murderer was full of wisdom and courage during the period, where does this seem to be as rumored? It seems that the rumors are still unreliable!

Zhou Xiaocao looked at Wang Rui in front of him and said, "As for you going back and waiting for news." I'll let you know when it's time to act. ”

"Yes, General!"

Wang Rui immediately retreated. Facing this general is as uncomfortable as facing a veteran of a hundred battles.

Looking at Wang Rui's departing figure, Zhou Xiaocao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered: "Some people still insist on going their own way, and they don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin." ”

After three days, the soldiers' wounds had worsened, and although they were not completely better, they could still march if they were in the car. Zhou Xiaocao ordered, leave immediately, and return to the capital!

Four thousand people, carrying money and jewelry, seven carts, plus a few carts of wounded, more than ten carts, out of Xingyang City. In the Shili Pavilion, the elders led by Old Man Ding and the local officers all came to see them off.

A few dishes were thinly placed, a little warm sake, and a few people quit the bowl.

Zhou Xiaocao said: "I have been bothering in Xingyang for a long time, which has brought a lot of inconvenience to you. Right now, someone Zhou is about to return to the capital, so let's do it first! ”

Old man Ding hurriedly accompanied him with a cup and said: "General Zhou understands the righteousness, not only got rid of the gang of bandits who killed people and oversold goods in Bishan, but also killed Kang Boquan, a poisonous snake entrenched in Xingyang for eight years, which is really a meritorious act!" We have all received the grace of the general's rain and dew, and we dare not forget it! ”

For such compliments, Zhou Xiaocao really didn't feel cold, just smiled, and then said: "This time, I will report the situation here to the emperor." As for the situation in the future, I have an eight-character mantra, saying that I will wait with you. ”

Hearing this, these people all put down their cups and bowed deeply to Zhou Xiaocao: "Please also ask the general for advice!" ”

What is the situation here, isn't it all based on what Zhou Xiaocao said? Therefore, they naturally want to figure out how to go in the future.

Zhou Xiaocao said word by word: "Don't fight, don't be greedy, go with the flow." ”

"General Xie's teachings, may the general have a smooth journey!"

Zhou Xiaocao turned around and walked out of the pavilion, walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around and said, "There is one more thing!" Don't take back the wine and food in this pavilion, people who are destined will eat it. Wouldn't it be nice to do a good deed every day? Haha

Zhou Xiaocao smiled and got on a red horse, and the sound of the horse's hooves "boom", accompanied by his laughter, gradually drifted away. Although everyone didn't understand what he meant, they didn't go against Zhou Xiaocao's meaning, and those drinks and dishes should be regarded as alms to passers-by.

After the crowd dispersed, a red shadow rushed into the ten-mile long pavilion, chewed it according to the case, and said unclearly in his mouth: "Hmph, pretending to be a ghost, what's so strange" (to be continued......
