Back at the camp of the army, the sun had set, and the generals returned to their respective camps, leaving only Su Ke and Cai Qing in the camp to discuss the details of receiving the order.

Originally, there should be no room for negotiation at all for this kind of thing, the emperor issued an order, and the courtiers followed, and the will of the head had to be received on his knees, which would give you room for bargaining, but now the situation is really special.

The power is quite good, the lord is weak and the minister is strong, the emperor is even younger, the queen's personality is soft, sending Cai Qing out to find foreign aid is the limit, if you don't put your attitude lower, who will pay attention to you as a military general with troops?

At this time, a table was set up in the handsome tent, only an oil lamp was lit on the table, a steaming, fragrant snake soup was placed on the table, and a pot of spirits was placed next to it, and Su Ke and Cai Qing sat opposite each other.

Carefully pinched a little snake meat, Cai Qing put it in his mouth and chewed it gently, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and when he swallowed the snake meat into his stomach, he nodded and praised: "The meat taste is smooth and tender, the taste is mellow and long, the flesh is peaceful, and after entering the stomach, there is an indescribable warmth that spreads to the limbs and hundreds of remains, which is really a great tonic!" ”

As he spoke, he took another large piece of snake meat, gnawed it regardless of the reserved etiquette, and even got his hands on it.

This meat is not only a great tonic, but also very delicious, and the more he eats it, the more he wants to eat it.

Su Ke scooped a bowl of broth and drank it slowly, and said with a smile: "This snake meat is cold, if it is directly swallowed, the cold will return to the heart, and I am afraid that it will be a worry about my life." I use dried ginger, cinnamon, aconite and other hot things to calm its nature, but it is still not enough, if you want to get nourishment from it, and not be harmed by it, Lord Cai needs to drink a few more glasses of spirits. ”

Cai Qing raised his eyebrows: "Is the Grandmaster still good at cooking?" This way of harmonizing yin and yang is superb. ”

Su Ke smiled: "I don't have him, martial arts enter the Tao, and the avenue is connected." ”

These words made Cai Qing fall into silence, and he took a few more bites, although he wanted to eat it very much, he still stopped, took a sip of soup and moistened his throat, and he said: "Grandmaster, there are no six ears here, you and I can talk freely." Some words are not unpleasant. ”

"Lord Cai, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Su Ke knew that the topic was coming.

Cai Qing said: "Grandmaster, you look at the situation in the world, what do you think is the number of Great Wei Qi?" ”

This is a little difficult to say, but there are no outsiders here, and Su Ke has no scruples, he saw Cai Qing's face full of seriousness, thought about it, and said: "There are Tartars in the north, Shanban in the west, and Hai Dashuai in the south, and there is Tianyi Cult behind Dashuai." The DPRK and China have more power to minister Liu Zhen, and there are natural disasters and floods, the Yellow River has burst its banks several times, the country is thousands of miles, and there are countless hungry people, and the country is also ruined. ”

"Alas~" Cai Qing didn't refute, just sighed long, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and took a long breath, his face was already showing resentment: "The building is about to fall, I only hate that I have no power to restrain the chicken, and I have no power to turn the tide!" ”

This Cai Qing doesn't seem to be very good at drinking, his eyes are already a little confused, people say that he spits the truth after drinking, because after drinking, his heart is blazing, and it is difficult to hide his intentions, and what he rushes out of his mouth is the true thoughts in his heart.

What Cai Qing said at this time was basically the truth.

Su Ke's attitude was not a little disrespectful because the other party was drunk, he sat upright and said seriously: "The way of heaven works, there is life and there is destruction, why should Lord Cai be so self-suffering?" ”

"The first emperor was kind, orphans and widows were even more helpless, and they couldn't bear it in their hearts. If you don't do your best, you will feel guilty. ”

The most painful thing in the world is to do something stupid with a clear head that you know is inviolable.

If you are a fool, a gangster, and live as you like, you don't need to think about so many things that you don't have.

Therefore, many times, wisdom often brings people not pleasure, but torture.

Cai Qing was ashamed, so he blocked all Su Ke's words of persuasion, and he was silent, not drinking, just taking a small sip of the delicious snake soup.

After a while, Cai Qing said: "The will of the holy decree is very clear, if the sect master is willing to become the commander of the army, he will immediately lead the army to the capital division and garrison the camp in the south of the city. The grandmaster's martial arts are world-famous, and the saint will give you the convenience of carrying a sword in and out of the court. If the grandmaster can assist and sit in the court, Liu Zhen will not dare to roar openly. ”

Hearing this, Su Ke's heart moved, and he asked, "Liu Xiang is so rude, what do you rely on?" ”

"He is both civil and military, Wen is the first emperor to appoint the champion, in the past 30 years, there are countless disciples in the court, Wu is a super-first-class master, only one line away from the grandmaster."

"Awesome!" Su Ke praised it, originally thought that he had made a grandmaster, but he didn't expect that there would be something even more powerful, and he would directly get a champion.

He instinctively felt that there should be a thief behind Liu Zhen to help, but it was hard to say, he just knew it in his heart.

Having said this, Cai Qing's meaning has been made clear, it is nothing more than to let him protect the lord.

However, the Mangshan military camp was set up to suppress the mountain barbarians, and the mountain barbarians were not destroyed, so how could they easily pull out the camp.

Talking about this concern to Cai Qing, Cai Qing sighed helplessly: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside!" ”

Su Ke disagreed with this, thought about it, and said: "Lord Cai, the mountain barbarian was just defeated by me half a month ago, with the character of a barbarian, he will come to retaliate soon, if he pulls out the camp and leaves, the people in the east of Mang Mountain will suffer." The barbarian king is a wise and resolute person, if he is given time, he will become a big trouble in the future. It's better to wait for the army to fight a decisive battle with the barbarians, determine the victory, and after breaking the barbarians' qi, then return to Beijing. ”

Cai Qing didn't speak, he ate the snake meat violently, and after a while, he spoke: "How much time does the Sect Master estimate it will take?" ”

"The long is half a year, and the short is a month. The spies reported that the barbarians were moving more and more frequently, and they were afraid that they were preparing to go to war again. Su Ke said.

After thinking about it, Cai Qing nodded heavily: "But!" If he is to blame the saint one day, I will take on this role for the grandmaster. ”

The queen is a woman, she can't see clearly, but he is not, she knows that the mountain barbarians must be done, otherwise even if Liu Zhen falls, the mountain barbarians will be together, and the Central Plains will let the barbarians get it in the future, and it will be stinking for 10,000 years.

Su Ke nodded, it seems that this Cai Qing is also a great talent, and his life is pure, he is even higher than him now, and he is a real nobleman.

It's just that he has too many rules in his heart, and he still doesn't have enough flexibility, and if he wants this person to use it for him, he has to spend a lot of effort.

The matter was roughly negotiated, and Su Ke persuaded: "Come on, come on, Lord Cai, you drank a lot of wine, and then eat some snake meat to calm your heart." ”

"It's disrespectful." Cai Qing did not refuse.

After that, the two didn't talk about business, the cups came and went, and they chatted casually.

After chatting about it, Su Ke felt that this Cai Qing really lived up to his talent, his song "Spring Moon Wang" was really full of flowers, and people couldn't help but applaud, and many of his insights were far beyond his peers, very sophisticated and profound, as an ordinary player, he had done this very well.

In Cai Qing's view, Su Ke is a person with excellent martial arts, extensive experience, and his own unique and profound views on many current affairs. Especially although he is a martial artist, he still has a bit of the elegance of a literati, although he has no poetic talent, but he is also well-read, some rare classics, the other party has read them, and he can chat with him a few words.

Cai Qing also admired this young grandmaster a lot.

For a while, the two were a little sympathetic.

When the wine was hot, Cai Qing couldn't stand the strength of the wine and fell asleep, Su Ke helped him into the inner tent to sleep, and he came to the outside room to find a chair to sit on.

Bai Suyou walked up and said softly: "Jingshi Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, Heavenly Court is paying close attention, big thieves from all walks of life lurk in it, you are fledgling, are you really ready to go?" ”

"Go with the flow." Su Ke responded with a smile.

In his heart, he was looking forward to fighting with the mountain barbarians, if he could successfully calm the troubles of the mountain barbarians, his reputation would be shocked, and his luck would come in a steady stream. Then it will be time for him to run the method of intercepting qi for the second time.
