In a palatial mansion, a middle-aged man in a dark placket robe walks through the corridor.

The delicate maids who passed by the palace lanterns.

"I've seen you."

The corridor was very long, and the man who was called Ye nodded slightly, and then ignored it.

The maid passed by him with a blushing face.

This middle-aged man is still very handsome, even though he is over forty years old, but his demeanor has not diminished at all, but has added the taste of a mature man.

And looking at the maid's respectful appearance, it seems that she has a very high status in this mansion.

The man walked to a room and stopped.

This is a very luxurious courtyard, the palace lights have been lit, hidden among the trees, it looks faint.

There is also a lake next to the door, which leads to living water, and even on such a winter day, you can hear the murmuring of the water.

The man knocked on the door, and it sounded a little different from ordinary people knocking on the door on weekdays.

A muffled voice came from inside the door.

"Come in."

The man pushed the door in, and the room suddenly opened up.

The room is very large, only the inside and the outside are separated, and the rest is not divided. The décor is also very elegant.

I saw a man who was almost ten years older than the man sitting upright on the first seat, spinning an emerald green wrench in his hand.

He raised his eyes slightly, and just like that, he could feel a strong coercion.

But it was only for a moment, and the moment I saw the man, there was a smile in my eyes.

"He'er, are you back?"

"I've seen my master."

The man, who was called He'er, bowed respectfully.

"No need to be polite, sit down."

The master said softly.

"Thank you, master."

"You, always so much courtesy. How many times have I told you that we don't need to care about these false courtesies. ”

"Master, the ceremony must not be abolished."

Ah He said softly.

"Well, I can't talk about you."

The master laughed and looked at the man in front of him helplessly.

"By the way, you've been there for so long, what do you get out of it?"

The master finally straightened up and asked.

Ah He has been gone for several months, although he often delivers news, but how can the letter be clear and clear in person?

"Even if that traitor in Dali Siqing is dead, he still leaves us a lot of bad things. His subordinates cleaned up the mess for him for a while, but the emperor was already suspicious. ”

The master pondered for a moment and said.

"Thank you. The emperor has the Qin family and the Gu family by his side, they are all first-class loyal ministers around the emperor, especially Gu Yan, who is difficult to deal with. ”

When Ah He heard the Qin family, his eyes flashed, and by that time it was fleeting.

The master in front of him is a human spirit, how could he not see his expression for a moment?

"Ahhe, you..."

Ah He knew what the master was going to say, so he quickly knelt down and said respectfully.

"Master, you saved Ah He back then, and since then you have only recognized you as a master!"

"Okay, okay, I'm just going to talk about it casually. You've been with me for more than twenty years, how could I not trust you? Hurry up. ”

The master finally put his mind at ease and said.

Ah He got up and sat down and said.

"Thank you, master."

"You're just too outward."

The master sighed slightly, and then asked.

"How did the matter of Dali Siqing be solved?"

The master just asked casually, he believed in Ah He's ability.

"I killed Dali Siqing's wife and pretended to commit suicide. and forged her handwritten letter, which was the only way to fool the past. ”

But after Ah He finished speaking, he still sighed.

"It's just that these tricks still can't pass Gu Yan's eyes, and later I noticed that Gu Yan was secretly investigating these things, and in the end I blocked them."

The master pondered for a moment and said.

"I was reckless in this matter. Dali Siqing actually didn't deserve to die, he was in a high position, and his sudden death would still arouse suspicion. ”

"Dali Siqing already has the intention of betraying us, if we don't get rid of it, we may be exposed."

Ah He said coldly.

In this life, what he hates most is betrayal.

"Well, it's all in the past. Don't dwell on the dead. ”

The master paused, "What is the attitude of the Uighur king?" ”

"I just went to see Chi Zhe a few days ago, what he meant, when will our east wind be ready?"

"That's what the Uighur king meant."

Ah He took a sip of tea, and his lips and teeth were fragrant.

The master snorted coldly.

"The Uighur king's meaning couldn't be more obvious, but he wants us to strike first."

"Is he really thinking of us as fools?"

"The master is right, we must not show our faces at this time. Otherwise, we will have been planning for many years, but we will fall short. ”

Ah He nodded.

"Go and add fire to the Uighur camp, and when the Uighur king really can't sit still, then it's time for us to strike."

"The master is saying that we want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

Ah He asked.

"Yes."

The master nodded and said, agreeing with Ah He's statement.

"After all, we and the Uighurs are in a cooperative relationship, and in doing so, we..."

Ah He felt that something was wrong.

Although he has been with his master for 20 years, the gentleman's education in the first half of his life is deep-rooted, although it has been a long time, and he has learned a lot from his master, but sometimes some thoughts still pop up.

"Ah, the Uighur king is a wolf, and we are fighting against the tiger. With such a person, you can't be soft-hearted and talk about the etiquette of a gentleman. We are plotting the country, why don't the Uighur kings want to chase the Central Plains? ”

"Thank you for your advice."

Ah He said respectfully.

"Then master, you also..."

The last sentence, Ah He didn't say it, but the master understood what he meant.

The master also took a sip of tea and chuckled.

"Although the emperor is still young, he has auxiliary ministers. There is also the Qin family that holds military power, and its power cannot be underestimated. ”

"However, my strength is simply not enough to resist, so I have no choice but to look for allies."

"That's why the master found the Uighur king?"

"That's right, the Uighur king is ambitious and a good ally."

The master said.

Ah He nodded, but thoughtfully.

"Master, Ah He wants to ask you for something."

When the master heard this, he looked at the man in front of him with interest.

"Tell me, after all these years, you haven't seriously asked me for a thing. You say, I will promise you. ”

Ah He stood up and arched his hand.

"If the great cause can be accomplished, can the master let go of the Qin family?"

"Oh?"

The master narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ah He's heart missed a beat.

"As long as they don't oppose me, I can let them go. Jianye Hou Qin's family is famous, and I can't kill them all. ”

"Thank you, master!"

Ah and Yixi thanked him.
