Under this restaurant, the coolies who delivered water "just happened" to come. The water was approaching, and three coolies waited outside.

The big man with a beard is called Lin An, the thin half-old man is called Kyushu, and the purple face and slightly chubby man is called Luo Wei. Lin An and Kyushu looked at the rooftop at the signal of Lowe. Mo Chang, the former crown prince of Chengguo, leaned lazily against the railing, his face was inward, invisible, his left hand was behind his back, his palm turned up and down twice, and then changed into a wave, and then held it with his right hand.

All this was carried out quietly in the midst of the slapstick of the noble children of the country.

The three coolies held back their tears, and although Mo Chang couldn't see them, they clenched their fists with their right hands, pointed them in the direction of their hearts, and slid them up and down three times, and then held them with their left hands.

Then they took the empty barrel and left without looking back.

Mo Chang's posture is called "turning his hands for the clouds, covering his hands for the rain", and the gestures of Luo Wei and the other three men are called "Plum blossom envoys, swear to repay the lord to death." ”

A few days ago, Mo Chang obtained the right to "act freely" because of the intercession of the white clothes on the Guixiang Palace. He knew that Hou Cong's henchmen had sent appropriate people to follow around. Well, it doesn't matter.

Time is of the essence, of course. Just came out of the palace. Mo Chang took Cuizhu and sat in a four-seated sedan chair to go straight to a place where dogs and horses sounded.

Many years ago, in Pingdu, the Imperial Palace, and the East Palace Qinxue Palace, Dacheng First Rank Gong, Meihua Inner Minister, Prince Taibao, and Bai Shenbai gave 12-year-old Mo Chang an intelligence lesson, and the first sentence was: "Your Highness, one day you are trapped in the enemy country, you must find a way to go to the Xihua Building by the West Bridge of Datongshui, and stand in front of the window facing the Qingjiang Building diagonally opposite, and you can find someone to solve your difficulties." ”

Although the 12-year-old Mo Chang is elegant and respectful of the teacher, he can't help but be a little unconvinced: "Teacher, the student is the prince of Chengguo, how can he be trapped in the enemy country?" ”

Bai Shen sighed at that time and said, "The world is unpredictable, Your Highness." ”

Bai Shen only gave Mo Chang a few lessons on intelligence. It didn't take long for the Bai family's 56 family members to behead. Years later, Mo Chang was also tricked by fate. He did as the teacher told him, completely unaware of what it would do. That night, a big man with a purple face and a slight fat man broke into his bedroom. He thought that the man sent by his cousin to kill him would come so soon, and asked the other party to allow him to suffer according to the nobleman's death, and to transport his body back to his hometown after his death.

But the other knelt down.

"Plum Blossom Envoy Luo Wei, bow to His Royal Highness the Prince."

They didn't dare to hold the lamp, and after a little conversation, Mo Chang understood Bai Shen's deep thoughts. He had arranged for more than a dozen dead soldiers to enter the kingdom as a fine work as a plum blossom envoy under him, and three of them were in Datong. These three are the so-called "cold sons", who will never be used until they are forced to do so. Their "corpses" have been buried in Pingdu, and their families have long stopped thinking about it, and they live with generous pensions every year.

After Bai Shen died, no one knew about their existence.

Until Mo Chang appeared in that window. Even the emperor of Chengguo has changed, but the oath that the dead man made to the former Meihua Minister Bai Shen will not change until death. Now, they have a new owner: Mo Chang.

The first task given to Luo Wei by Mo Chang was to find out who was the substitute for the deceased in the southbound team,—— which was not why, but the prince didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark by Hou Cong in everything. Luo Wei bid farewell to his master, left the mansion where he used to win, and first found Lin An and Kyushu, who had not been seen for many years. These two people are not very accepting of Mo Chang's inheritance of Bai Shen's command to some extent.

"The master is dead, the first emperor is also dead, and we are wastes." Lin An said.

"Yes, the new monarch wants to kill the former prince, it's none of our business." Kyushu said.

"No," Luo Wei's voice was loud, "why did Lord Bai teach His Highness how to activate us?" ”

So, Lin An and Kyushu decided to put aside the dispute first, let Luo Wei command him for the time being, and then find an opportunity to confirm more. First of all, they made a lot of effort, but they couldn't find a single clue who was the substitute for the deceased. Hou Cong was very well guarded, there were no signs, and no rumors came out. Obviously, after the people in the south know about it, they will be on guard and will change their plans.

Seeing that a few days had passed, Lowe decided: "Find a time first, and I will take you to meet His Highness." As for the following, listen to Your Highness. ”

Therefore, the referees went to heaven to gather, which seemed to be Yuwen Changkong's "idea", but in fact, Mo Chang's quiet sentence "Spring in a high place is the best" hooked up. Bai Shen didn't teach Mo Chang much, and one of them was that gesture.

On the rooftop, Hou Cong personally poured a glass of wine for Mo Chang, he gently withdrew the hand behind his back, floated back to the middle of the rooftop, and took the wine glass with both hands.

Luo Wei, Lin An, and Kyushu didn't leave long with the empty barrel when they met Cuizhu, who had led them over. Cuizhu took out the letter that the master had written before he entered the Hou Mansion to be a referee. Lowe looked left and right to see that there was no one, took it into his arms, and left without saying a word. Kyushu suddenly came back and blocked Cuizhu's way.

"Aren't you the one who was picked in the Liguo Palace? Will you be faithful to Your Highness? Why don't we do it right here? ”

Cuizhu didn't have any fear at all, "Cut, who do you look down on?" Haven't I seen the world? Who is loyal to the master, will see later, is a good slave to see the origin? ”

He brushed his sleeves away, not even his steps.

Lowe smiled and pulled Kyushu to evacuate. Mo Chang's letter was burned immediately after reading. It clearly explained three points: "First, although he selected people through Li Guo's hand, he could tell that the cook and the coachman in the house had changed. The opportunity for these two to do things is horses and food. Luo Wei and the other three must deal with this matter according to Mo Chang's instructions, not only to prevent their plan from succeeding, but also to use it; Second, find out the substitute for the deceased through Mo Chang's confession. Third, complete the first two things in strict accordance with Mo Chang's explanation, and prepare for the next thing. ”

The three of them looked at the flames and ashes, and they were already impressed by their Highness. They also knew that they would die soon, but they thought that they would die well, and when they saw Bai Shen in the future, they could hold their heads high, and they did not live up to what he entrusted and what he taught.

The weapon was polished, and the recipe for the poison was recited again. The old courtyard was cleaned up, and the map of Datong, which had been known for many years, began to spread around in my heart. Like a bystander, Lowe looked forward to the big drama led by Mo Chang step by step. "His Highness can't be under people after all, he won't be a pawn after all." Lowe is convinced.

In the afternoon, Hou Cong and others rode back to Hou's mansion. Bai Yi was in a hurry to be "Little Hou Cong", the referees were originally sent to rest, but Murong Xing immediately forced Dugu Zheng and Yuan to follow behind the two people who were playing binding and killing 50 feet apart, he said: "You guys are so energetic, when you see that girl is going to do something, you will find a way to remind the general." The general must not lose! No! ”

In the tool room, Hou Cong divided several parts of the puppet doll according to Bai Yi's preferences: head, body, arms, and legs. White clothes floated around the room, smelling sawdust and paint, and doubting their previous choices.

"To be honest, is it better to have white wood or yellow heart?" She repeated it three times.

Hou Cong ignored her at all. She came over and tugged at his sleeve again, "General, how many days can you finish one?" ”

"How did I do it? Didn't I teach you to do it? ”

"Didn't you say it a long time ago, you did it, I watched?"

"When I was a child, I made little white clothes for three days and three nights. I'm more proficient now, but I don't know how long. ”

She went to the side and pinched the silk for a while, and then came back.

"Please don't learn from your brother, like a monkey who has unlocked a lock. It gives me a headache. Hou Cong held his forehead, and at the same time saw her loose hairpin ring, and couldn't help but insert it into her. I saw a cold light in her eyes, and she hurriedly jumped out, the face of the white clothes turned gloomy, and the rope she had just taken out of her head was also withdrawn.

Hou Cong wanted to strike, saying that he would not be attacked when he was a puppet for Bai Yi, "Do you have a conscience?" I'll make you a doll to play with, how do you think you can win me?! It's not worth it, me and you, or go back to the hall You look at me and I see you face each other, who survived whom, it's not necessarily! ”

Hou Cong's words, Dugu Zheng and Yuan heard them outside the tool room again. They hurried to their masters, who were leaving with their hands behind their backs, and their white clothes that floated out like catkins. Yuan put it in Hou Cong's ear and whispered an idea, "Eldest son, there is a way, you follow us, and you win." ”

Hou Cong stopped, and Bai Yi also pricked up his ears.

Dugu Zheng hurriedly posted it and continued to explain the strategy, "It's very simple - we have all discussed, tonight, find a girl from Zhijunlou to accompany you." The white clothes will definitely dodge. That would be equivalent to giving up the principle of not leaving an inch, which is equivalent to automatically abandoning the game and losing, isn't it? ”
