The two of them went ashore from the wooden plank road behind the old tour building with the jade belt, and the unicorn mask man guided sideways in front, and Hai Liang followed him closely to the three-story C-shaped room.

The room is as warm as spring in March, and a man in a green robe is wearing a dragon's head mask and leaning on the warm couch, holding a jade cup in one hand and a sunspot in the other hand and contemplating on the chessboard.

This person must be the old master just mentioned.

"The Great Master of the Sea is here!"

The man turned his head to look at the two who had entered the door, and there was a familiarity in his voice, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Hai Liang didn't dare to hold it up, knelt down on one knee and respectfully saluted:

"Hai Liang meets the old master."

He had only seen the Qilin Mask Man once, and all subsequent exchanges were maintained by letter, and the "old master" was the lord of the Jade Belt Old Tour, but Hai Liang had never seen him.

Hai Liang subconsciously stroked the tiger head mask he was wearing, and he could probably guess the rank of the Jade Belt Old Tour organization from the beast head on the mask.

According to the Dachen costume system, the dragon pattern is only available for the emperor and the prince, the unicorn is used for the prince's horse uniform, and the lion and tiger are the first and second grade military attachés to supplement the pattern.

The old master in front of him is the dragon head mask, followed by the unicorn mask, and then the tiger head mask worn by Hai Liang, and the relationship between the three of them in the old tour of the jade belt is already very clear.

The dragon-headed masked man laughed heartily, pointed to the chessboard in front of him and said:

"Master Hai must not be restrained, would you like to talk to a certain person here with a candle?"

Hai Liang got up and smiled:

"It's just ordinary to cultivate in the way of playing chess, I hope it won't disturb the old master Yaxing."

As he spoke, he sat on the opposite side with his robe, cleaned up the chessboard with the dragon-headed masked man, and re-opened his posture to play with him.

He had a trace of doubt in his heart, and he always felt that the voice and body shape of the dragon-headed masked man in front of him were more like the unicorn masked man he had seen before.

But because it was the first time I saw the "old master", I naturally had twelve points of caution in my heart, and I didn't dare to show any doubts in my heart.

Hai Liang put down a chess piece and said apologetically:

"When I was going to meet the emperor below, I heard that Lord Hu Dahu had passed away, and he had lost one of his right-hand men, so he was holding his back for the old master."

After hearing this, the Qilin Mask Man, who was sitting alone by the door at the moment, trembled violently in his shoulders, but Hai Liang didn't notice it.

"In Kyoto, at the beginning of the planning, Hu Da was responsible for the planning and delivery of the defeated feathers, and the Tanglin Wei only operated in the shadows, in order to protect the Tanglin Wei and the Hai Dagongzi.

After all, among the three steps of spreading the rumors of Tulun's invasion of Dachen, the rumors of the defeat of the Tanglin Wei and the entry of Yu Yu into Kyoto, and the contact with the forces of the DPRK and China to force the emperor to send aid to the Dongshan Tomb, the defeat of the Tanglin Wei is a key link.

After this plan failed, the first order of a certain was to ask Huda to bite the defeated Yu Yu to death, which was planned by him alone, and had nothing to do with Tanglin Wei. Then ordered the great prince of Hai to immediately send an 800-mile urgent victory report to the capital, and never admit the defeat of Yu Yu in the previous battle, so that he could completely protect the Tanglin Guard. ”

The first time the two met, Hai Liang was the next person, and in this situation, the only topic that Hai Liang could take the initiative to mention was the fact that Hu Da was dead.

But the other party responded to so many words, and said the choices before and after, all of which hinted at his attention to and maintenance of Tanglinwei.

When Hai Liang heard this, he hurriedly dropped the chess pieces in his hand and went to bed, and bowed down again to thank him.

Of course, he knew that the other party was putting all the blame on Huda in order to minimize the loss, not simply to protect the Tanglin Guard.

After all, they will use the Tanglin Guard more often in the future, and they will naturally not push him and the Tanglin Wei out at will now.

But since the Dragonhead Mask Man said so, of course Hai Liang should make a very grateful appearance, this is the way to get along with the collaborators who are on the same boat.

He sighed silently in his heart, fortunately he still had so many henchmen in his hands to serve, so that what happened to Huda today would not have been abandoned by the Lord as a pawn.

"So-and-so is very curious about one thing", the dragon-headed masked man raised his hand to help Hai Liang up, invited him to sit on the seat and continue the game, while asking with great interest:

"At that time, Tulun had withdrawn his troops, and since we had formed an alliance with Tulun, we must not hurt them, how did the Grand Prince of Hai make this victory of killing more than 2,000 enemies?"

"At first, it was quite a headache in the game", Hai Liang did not move, and dropped a white piece on the chessboard, and wrote lightly:

"It's also a coincidence that among the bandits captured by Tanglin Wei in recent years, many of them are worthy of the death penalty. The snow covered the mountains, and there were homeless people who froze to death and starved to death every night, and the heads collected by the brothers in recent days were barely scraped together by the bandits. The military newspaper drew up the number of two thousand. ”

The real situation is that he killed the hungry people in nearby villages and towns, and "killing good people and risking merit" is a big crime, so he naturally won't mention it casually.

Although he is a cooperative companion with the person in front of him, it is very foolish to leave his own handle in the hands of others.

Hai Liang also knew that since the Dragon Head Mask Man could drive Hu Da, the former right attendant of the military department, as his pawn, his identity was naturally extraordinary, and he naturally didn't believe the argument that the heads collected by death row prisoners, homeless people, and bandits could make up 2,000 people together.

Fortunately, falsely reporting and overreporting military exploits is almost a tacit operation of the entire imperial court, and his words are credible when he says it so frankly, and it will also leave the impression of sincerity and sincerity to the dragon head mask man.

The Dragonhead Masked Man chuckled.

"The great prince of Hai is thoughtful and kind-hearted, he is really talented, and he is really blessed to receive such help."

He knew far more about Hai Liang and Tanglin Wei than Hai Liang imagined, and he could naturally guess where most of these heads came from with their usual style of acting.

Since it is inconvenient for Hai Liang to make it clear, he will not go out of his way to poke it.

The cooperation between the two is still absolutely dominated by him, and the few handles he holds in his hand at the moment are enough to control Hai Liang, these few things only need to look at the results, as for what the other party did in the process, there is really no need to delve into it.

The dragon head masked man chased the layout of the white son, calmly pressed the black in his hand step by step, and within a few steps, he had the momentum to trap the other party in the game.

Hailiang's white son gradually became difficult to parry, and every time he dropped a chess piece, he had to think about it for a long time.

This game is just to dispel the precaution of meeting for the first time and quickly shorten the distance between each other, not really to fight for the highest and lower on the road.

The dragon-headed masked man got up and removed the chessboard, took the wine jug and jade cup from the incense table in front of the couch, poured it for Hai Liang, and he hurriedly got up and took it.

The dragon-headed masked man pressed his shoulder lightly with his palm, signaling that he should not be too polite, and then sat down on the couch and continued:

"I haven't congratulated Hai Dagongzi on his ascension, this time he went to Wuchuan to suppress bandits, and he must be invincible."

Hai Liang abruptly stopped the jade cup sent to his mouth, so soon he knew?

The emperor has not yet issued an edict, and the people who know the news are limited to a few people in the palace at that time, and the dragon head mask man is so well-informed?

"Hahahaha", Hai Liang laughed a few times to hide the shock in his heart.

"The old lord Shengming, I already know what happened just now", Hai Liang first slapped a sycophant, and then said:

"In fact, the little emperor found that it took a long time to deliver the report of the victory in Kyoto this time. As a last resort, he prevaricated with the detour caused by the Wuchuan bandits, and the emperor took the opportunity to give him an errand to go to Wuchuan to suppress the bandits. ”

When mentioning the Wuchuan bandits in front of the emperor, five points out of necessity and five points out of intention.
