Snow began to fall in the night sky, and a few bamboo leaves covered with snow protruded from the lonely courtyard.

Looking through the gap between the bamboo leaves, you can see a small table on the pavilion with someone playing chess at the table.

Since there was no light, Zhang He could only see a black shadow.

The fact that the prime minister's mansion had no soldiers and no brilliant lights was strange enough in itself.

But the strangest thing is that on such a cold day, this person is still interested in playing chess outside.

His figure looks so lonely, so depressed, and how lonely it is for a person to play chess with himself.

Suddenly, the black shadow said in a loud voice: "In the middle of the night, the guests do not come, and the chess pieces fall into the lanterns." ”

Just because of this sentence, all the loneliness and coldness in heaven and earth drifted away, and the rest was elegant and chic.

Because of this famous poem, Zhang He no longer hid, but jumped off the wall directly and strode towards the small pavilion.

Getting closer, he finally saw the true face of the black shadow, this person was Liu Fengcheng, the prime minister of the dynasty.

He can see Liu Fengcheng clearly, and Liu Fengcheng can naturally see him, but Liu Fengcheng is neither surprised nor nervous, he seems to have calculated that Zhang He will come: "Brother Wu was sent by the emperor, right?" ”

Zhang He suddenly felt a kind of pressure, but this was not murderous.

Murderous aura can only be exuded invisibly by people with extremely high force, but intellectual strategizing is even more vigilant.

"So the Prime Minister has been waiting for me here?" Zhang Hyuk asked.

Liu Feng sighed for a long time: "The power of heaven is unpredictable, the companion is like a tiger, after the morning dynasty today, I knew that someone would break into my mansion in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect that the person who came was actually the famous Jinghualou martial arts brother." ”

Zhang He was silent, this is the prime minister of the dynasty who seems to know more than anyone else.

But he didn't know this prime minister, today's morning, this prime minister is like a dedicated, eloquent old courtier, and once he leaves the government and the opposition, he seems to have become a wise man who rejects red dust and is calm and relaxed.

Each person has two sets of masks, one for the head and another for the back.

Sometimes the mask has been worn for so long that even I can't see my true face clearly.

Zhang He sat opposite Liu Fengcheng, and he couldn't see through the prime minister.

Fortunately, Liu Fengcheng took the initiative to speak: "Brother Wu is here to eradicate me on the orders of the emperor, right?" ”

Zhang He didn't answer, he really didn't know how to answer this question.

Liu Fengcheng said: "But you are not here to kill me. ”

Zhang He was a little surprised: "Oh? ”

Liu Fengcheng said: "Because you are not murderous!" ”

"A lot of people are usually nervous before they kill someone, and it makes them feel cold, but you didn't give me that feeling," he explained.

Zhang He said: "Then how do you feel now?" ”

Liu Fengcheng said: "I think you are a trustworthy person. ”

Zhang He said coldly: "Are you so sure? ”

Liu Fengcheng said: "You were originally a person from Sichuan Prefecture, born in cloth, crawling in the rivers and lakes, stumbling to the status of the general of today, leading the front line and fighting on the battlefield. ”

His words are simple, but they contain a convincing philosophy.

Zhang He suddenly said coldly: "The marching route was leaked, and the grain and grass of Sanyan County were burned, and the prime minister must know it." ”

"There are counts!" Liu Fengcheng admitted very happily.

Zhang He said again: "The people who know General Wencheng's marching route, except for the emperor, are only the Imperial Envoy of the Left Capital and the Prime Minister. ”…,

Liu Fengcheng said: "An adult is by no means a person who leaks the route, and I can trust him as a person." ”

Zhang He sneered: "It can't be leaked by the emperor himself, right?" ”

Liu Fengcheng's face did not change: "Of course not!" ”

Zhang He's face sank: "Besides, who else can there be?" ”

"Then it could only be me." Liu Fengcheng's attitude surprised Zhang He.

Zhang He suddenly sighed again: "I can't think of it!" I can't imagine it! ”

Liu Fengcheng said: "What can't Brother Wu think of? ”

Zhang He sighed: "I didn't expect you to admit it so directly." ”

Liu Fengcheng also sighed: "I can't think of it either." ”

Zhang He said: "What can't you think of? ”

Liu Fengcheng said: "I can't imagine that the rivers and lakes are full of rumors that the martial arts brother of Jinghualou is very wise, and even I, the person in the temple, have heard of his name for a long time, but tonight, it seems that you are still in the dark." ”

Without waiting for Zhang He to speak, he took the initiative to say: "I want to ask Brother Wu, do you know where the batch of grain and grass escorted by General Wencheng came from?" Where to start? Which route will you take to get to Jingshi? How many times did you make a turn along the way? ”

Zhang He was stunned for a moment.

Liu Fengcheng said: "You definitely don't know, because your marching and fighting people know very little about the law of culture and etiquette, and sometimes it is beneficial to emphasize literature over military force." ”

Zhang He said: "Does the Prime Minister know?" ”

"Of course I do!" Liu Fengcheng replied affirmatively, "The war in Beiguo has long been foreshadowed, and the emperor has been prepared for a long time, but from the perspective of the border of the Central Plains, there are Japanese bandits in the South China Sea, Fusang Goryeo in the east, Mongolia and Daliao in the north, and Xiongnu fierce enemies in the northwest. ”

Zhang He naturally knows this truth, and what he knows most clearly is Qiongzhou in the South China Sea.

Liu Fengcheng continued: "If the army can't move, then the grain and grass can't move either, and on the contrary, if it wants to move, it must also be transferred from a stable position. ”

Zhang He finally understood a little: "Could it be that this batch of grain and grass was transferred from the Sichuan-Yunnan region?" ”

"Exactly!" Liu Fengcheng said with a straight face: "Brother Wu, have you found anything special about this route?" ”

At this time, Zhang He noticed the chessboard on the table, the chess game of black and white was definitely not a game, but deliberately put out for people to see, the white chess pieces zigzagged to form a winding and continuous curve, from the southwest corner to the northeast corner, but every distance there were one or two black chess, like a clip clamping this line, but there were no black pieces in the area near the northeast.

Liu Fengcheng said: "You didn't guess wrong, this is the transportation route of this batch of grain and grass, it starts from Sichuanzhou, passes through Chuanzhou City, bypasses Fuling County, then crosses Sanmenxia, reaches Cangzhou City in the south, bypasses the Grand Canal, and finally arrives in Beijing, you must be very curious why the route is so complicated?" ”

Zhang He replied calmly: "I'm not surprised, because this is to avoid people's ears, and I think more clearly, the war preparation granaries in various places dare not be opened at all, and as soon as they are opened, some people will know that there is going to be a war." ”

Liu Fengcheng nodded: "Then do you know what these black chess pieces are all about?" ”

Zhang He could only be silent.

Liu Fengcheng said: "These black chess pieces are the various forces of the rivers and lakes that attack this batch of grain and grass halfway. ”

Zhang He said movingly: "Attack on grain and grass? ”

Liu Fengcheng said: "Yes, when this batch of grain and grass arrived in Jingshi, they didn't know that it had already been soaked in poison.

Zhang He groaned: "I don't know how to study poison, but I still know that the poison of grass, trees, snakes and insects will be spoiled soon when it is put into the grain and grass, but this journey is too long, and every time you throw a little bit of it, you will never see it after you arrive in Jingshi, and who would have thought that the grain and grass are poisonous?" Moreover, once the Beijing division passed, he entered the three provinces of eastern Liaodong, and was forced to fight ahead, if there was no expert in using drugs, he would not be able to detect these problems at all. ”…,

Liu Fengcheng said: "Brother Wu, I ask you now, if this batch of grain and grass has not been attacked in Sanyan County, what will happen after entering the Northeast Pass?" ”

Zhang He's palms were soaked in cold sweat, and he couldn't even think about the consequences.

But now that he finally understood why Liu Fengcheng had betrayed the news to the coalition forces, he suddenly found that this matter was far more complicated and terrifying than he imagined.

Zhang He asked rhetorically: "But after the grain and grass left the Jingshi, why didn't you tell the truth to the emperor or General Wencheng?" ”

Liu Fengcheng didn't answer his question, but said, "You should have thought that if this poisonous grain and grass was done by the coalition forces, it would be impossible for them to sneak attack the Three Eyes County at all. ”

This is the most important problem, if Jun Ruojian knew that this grain and grass were poisonous, he would definitely not send the thirteen young troops to send sǐ.

So who gave these poisons? To be precise, poisoning multiple road sections, how many masters and forces are needed, and all kinds of signs are superficial, which seems to be the handiwork of Tsing Yi Lou.

But Tsing Yi Lou is now on the side of the coalition forces, if Tsing Yi Lou did it, the coalition forces should know.

The coalition forces don't know, but Liu Fengcheng knows, but he doesn't say it when he knows it, why does he hide this secret?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he doesn't tell the Son of Heaven this secret, he shouldn't sell it to the hostile coalition forces, at least he should inform the county lord and Yan Hong, but he didn't do it, what is his idea?

And who poisons and plots poisoning, where is sacred?

The more Zhang He thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was complicated, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt.

War is a freak that not only buries human life and wealth, but also devours wisdom and talent.

Zhang He said: "But these don't explain why you are sitting here and waiting for me tonight?" ”

Liu Fengcheng showed appreciation at this time: "Brother Wu is really Brother Wu, and he can really say something, I am waiting here tonight, I want to take you to meet someone, I hope you don't refuse."

Liu Fengcheng is an old minister, his face has been eroded by the ruthless years and vicissitudes of life into a knife-like wrinkle, when he is peaceful and humble, you will feel gentle and kind, but now his expression looks indescribably weird and terrifying, like a rotten bark smiling at you, making Zhang He feel a little chill in his back.

He immediately had an ominous premonition at this moment, behind Liu Fengcheng's old face, there must be a more amazing and terrifying secret.

So he didn't have a trick, because he was born to explore secrets and solve puzzles...... ）
