Chapter 217: The Power of Rats

Zhao Yan of S City's area, Tang Yuan is correcting documents in the office, S City is in a stage of vigorous development, and now Zhao Yan's power is small, but it has become an indispensable part of S, Tang Yuan is naturally rising and has become the high-level of S City.

"Hmm!" Putting down the documents, Tang Yuan stretched his waist, and was about to drink a glass of water to rest, when a guard knocked on the door, Tang Yuan shook his head helplessly, he knew that something came to the door again, "Who, come in, the door is not locked." ”

"Tang Shuai!" The guard saluted, Tang Yuan has been honored as Tang Shuai since the last battle command, Tang Yuan doesn't care about this, this kind of false name is just listening and playing.

"Tell me, what's going on again?" Tang Yuan took a sip of water, and the guard said: "Yes, report to Tang Shuai, there is a person who claims to be Mr. Five who wants to see you, this is a token he gave, he said that Tang Shuai will understand when he sees it." ”

"I'll see." Tang Yuan took a jade talisman from the guard's hand, a five was engraved in the middle of the talisman, Tang Yuan nodded, "Let him come up, don't block it too much, try not to be seen by others, understand?" ”

"Yes!" The guard has a knowing look, he is an old man who has followed Zhao Yan since H City, although he is only a small guard now, but he does not feel wronged, the prime minister's front three officials, this is the truth that everyone understands.

After a while, a black-robed man was brought in, Tang Yuan didn't put on a score, poured him a glass of water, and stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down.

"Thank you Tang Shuai." The black-robed man's voice was a little hoarse, and he looked up and looked around, Tang Yuan frowned, and motioned for the awakened person who had been staying in the corner to leave.

"Dashuai!" The Awakened One is also an old man who has followed all the way, his strength is not bad, he is at the peak of the sixth order, and he personally protects Tang Yuan's safety, which is enough to deal with most situations.

"Your own people, there are secrets, you are on standby at the door." Tang Yuan's tone was unquestionable, and the awakened person nodded, glanced at the black-robed man vigilantly, and then reluctantly left.

"Tang Shuai's side is really heavily guarded." The black-robed man smiled, "It is worthy of being the most important handsome talent of Master Zhao Yan, even if Major General Wu Xi is in person, he may not be able to take down Tang Shuai." ”

"Mr. Fifth, sit down." Tang Yuan returned the talisman, "Before Brother Yan left, he specially told me about Mr. Fifth, I don't know why Mr. Yan is here today." ”

"Big deal." The black-robed man took off his black robe, revealing a somewhat pale face, which was the fifth of the Rat King of S City, "The Shangguan family intends to rebel, and it is possible to unite with outsiders." ”

"Is that true?" Tang Yuan's eyes flashed with a ray of essence, "How did Mr. Fifth know?" Do you know the time? Who is united? Why didn't I get the slightest bit of news? ”

"It's normal for Tang Shuai not to get the news." The fifth neat black robe, "The cleaning of Shangguan's house is getting stricter and stricter, and most of the little mice I buried in it have been cleaned away, and now it is getting harder and harder to set up news, this time, it was also because of a coincidence, I learned about it." ”

"This time, I was able to find out the news, and it was thanks to a thief of earth elements under my command." The fifth is not embarrassed, "Tang Shuai also knows that under my hands, there are three sects and nine streams, everything, Tang Shuai should not be disgusted, listen to me slowly." ”

"The day before, this thief dug a secret passage in Shangguan's house with his own ability, and wanted to steal something from a junior of Shangguan's family, I didn't remember what he stole from, anyway, when he hadn't succeeded yet, he heard the movement of digging a tunnel on the other side!"

"Shangguan's house digs tunnels." Tang Yuan touched the teacup and thought about it in his heart, "Mr. Fifth went on to say that an authentic tunnel cannot be used as evidence of rebellion. ”

"It's natural," the fifth nodded, "but I, a thief, have the audacity, and by my own ability, I actually sneaked a little distance and heard their conversation!" ”

"What did you say?" Tang Yuan stared at the fifth can, and the latter continued: "Those people are measuring, saying how many people can be transported in from outside, and they are still measuring and digging there to reach Lieutenant General Wu's residence as quickly as possible, you are also a smart person, isn't this a joint mess with outsiders, is it still estimating the distance and installing a sewer pipe for S City?" ”

"Mr. Fifth, your information is too important!" Tang Yuan's eyes lit up, "Is there anything else, the more detailed about this matter, the better!" ”

"Naturally," the fifth man nodded, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to report the news of the day before yesterday today, yesterday, I spent a whole day mobilizing all the personnel under my command, and roughly inquired about the outline of a Shangguan family." ”

"This tunnel of Shangguan's house is a big project," the fifth section unfolded a brief map, "According to the information I can observe now, the area of the tunnel dug by Shangguan's family is quite large, this is the information of three tunnels, I suspect that there are more than three, it is likely to cover at least half of the area of Shangguan's house!" ”

"That's a lot of money." Tang Yuan didn't dare to make a conclusion alone, "In this way, the ambition of the wolf son of the Shangguan family has been fully revealed, this matter cannot be taken lightly, Mr. Fifth, your intelligence is very important this time, when Marshal Zhao Yan comes back, we will definitely thank you in person!" ”

"You're welcome." The fifth man got up and arched his hand, "Master Zhao Yan is kind to me and righteous to me, although the fifth man is not a righteous gentleman, but he also knows some morality, Tang Shuai take care, and the fifth man goes back." ”

"The stakes are so high, I won't send Mr." Tang Yuan hurriedly grabbed his coat, "Qiu Yu, come with me and go to Lieutenant General Wu!" ”

"Yes!" Xing Qiuyu, the awakened person who was personally guarding Tang Yuan, immediately came in, and Tang Yuan hurriedly got dressed, "Sir, go slowly, I'll take the first step." ”

"Tang Shuai is not in a hurry, don't be in a hurry," the fifth man grabbed Tang Yuan, "Tang Shuai should be calm, pretend to be normal and go to Lieutenant General Wu to discuss the matter, panic, don't be seen by the Shangguan family's sentinels." ”

"What Mr. Fifth said is very true," Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, took two deep breaths, returned himself to his best state, and showed a faint smile, "Qiu Yu, go and call a taxi, I'll tidy up my clothes." ”

"Tang Shuai is so graceful." The fifth man applauded, "Tang Shuai walked slowly, and I retreated." ”

At the Military Department of S City, Wu Tenglong was correcting the documents, and when he saw Tang Yuan coming over slowly, he smiled and asked his subordinates to pour a cup of tea, "Xiao Tang, what kind of wind blew you here." ”

"Naturally, it's a big deal." Tang Yuan took out the map given by the fifth canopy, waved his hand and asked Wu Tenglong's people to withdraw, because of Tang Yuan's special status, the guards didn't say anything, and retreated one after another.

"So, that's the rough idea of the matter." Tang Yuan said the matter as it was at the fastest speed, and Wu Tenglong's face also changed from careless at the beginning, to solemn, and finally to the green tendons.

"Shangguan Yuande, ungrateful! Beast! Wu Tenglong slapped the table fiercely, "Lao Tzu has endured him for so long, for the sake of many people in his Shangguan family who have made meritorious contributions in the war and the crusade against Dorgon, he also relaxed the conditions for him, and wanted him to be soft and avoid a sword fight, but he was so ignorant!" And to borrow the hands of outsiders, damn it! Damn it! ”

"Lieutenant General is angry," Tang Yuan pushed his glasses, "The most important thing at the moment is to secretly gather forces and not give the Shangguan family a chance to turn the tables, in addition, we must also find a way to investigate Shangguan Yuande's foreign aid, a careerist with such strength should not be unknown." ”

"That's right," Wu Tenglong shook his neck, he is not an ordinary person, vent, and it will be over, "However, we can't do it, at least not until the critical moment, and we can't make an attack." ”

"The lieutenant general is worried about the people?" Tang Yuan frowned, and Wu Tenglong shook his head helplessly, "Xiao Tang, I know, you definitely don't support me in doing this, but what can I do?" Xiao Yan is not here now, I can only be tied up like this, you have been following Xiao Yan for a long time, informal, but we can't, our ass, we are destined to have to take care of too many things, if I send troops directly indiscriminately, how can I explain to civilians? ”

Tang Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he could only hold back the words, he understood that Wu Tenglong had his own difficulties, many times, he had to have such and such reasons, and he was still Zhao Yan's person after all, even if it seemed that everyone was working together, but digging deeper, everyone understood such and such things.

"In this case, the lieutenant general is self-respecting," Tang Yuan tidied up his coat and hat, "Tang Yuan will not bother, I only hope that the lieutenant general can properly solve this matter, so as not to cause too much loss, our department will strengthen the garrison force, so that Shangguan Yuande will not have a chance to take advantage of it, and other places will rely on the lieutenant general." ”

"Ugh." Wu Tenglong sighed, he knew what Tang Yuan meant by running over in a hurry, doing this by himself was tantamount to hurting Tang Yuan's heart fiercely, but he didn't say anything, these things, he could only do this after all.

"Zhao Yan and I are different after all." Wu Tenglong sighed and watched Tang Yuan leave slowly.

Walking out of Wu Tenglong's office, Tang Yuan took a deep breath of the coolness in the air, this year's winter is obviously much colder than before, but because of the increase in the population density of S City, the temperature in the city is not so low.

"Qiu Yu, let's go back." Tang Yuan smiled at Xing Qiuyu, Xing Qiuyu just nodded, he stayed with Tang Yuan for the longest time, and naturally he could see that Tang Shuai was not in a good mood, but he didn't have the idea of talking to Tang Yuan, Tang Yuan's brain had always been calm, and he didn't need a mortal like himself to intervene.

"Qiu Yu, you said we, is this considered a send-by-fence?" Tang Yuan turned his head suddenly, Xing Qiuyu was stunned for a moment, he didn't dare to speak, he was not a fool, this kind of question, yes or no, is not a satisfactory answer.

"Forget it," Tang Yuan suddenly smiled, "What's the matter, hurry up and go back, we have to have a meeting tonight, and after we go back, let the deputy commanders of the battalions and Senior Marshal Cao Bucheng come to the conference room, and say that there is something important to discuss." ”

After a pause, Tang Yuan suddenly added, "Forget it, just call the old man who came from H City with us, and I will think about the others on the way, Cao Dashuai's side, in my name, invited him to the dinner, it just so happened that Gan Youwei and Fifth Luo didn't go out to hunt and hunt a rare strange beast, let's see how to make it delicious tonight, and cook it to entertain the brothers." ”

"Got it." Xing Qiuyu nodded, and Tang Yuan tightened his clothes, "Today's weather is extremely cold." ”
