Guan Tong and the five princes were not in the Privy Council, and Guo Tuiguan went to the general to look for him as a prisoner.

Guan Tong drooped his triangular eyes, and was nesting in a pile of documents and account books on the kang, when he heard the movement, he didn't raise his head, but only raised the pen and said: "Sit down first, make a bowl of hot tea for Guo Tuiguan!" Wait until I've got this account straight. Guo Tuiguan only lightly replied with the word 'yes', sat down on the chair in front of the kang with light steps, took the tea and slowly sipped it and waited for Guan Tong to finish.

"What's the matter?" Guan Tong finally finished the accounts, closed the account book, turned his head and asked, Guo Tuiguan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Why didn't Mr. ask if there was any good news?" "When I hear footsteps, I know it's not good news, let's say, what's the matter?" Guan Tong moved his hand according to the kang, turned to Guo Tuiguan and said, Guo Tuiguan sighed "sigh": "You staff members, all of you are Shinto, there is no good news, I came to find Mr., I want Mr. to say hello to Hu San and them, and see if the two can be found in one place." Guan Tong frowned, wouldn't the unity of the princess expose all the manpower to the government? Seeing Guan Tong's brows furrowed, Guo Tuiguan immediately took a step back and continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't fit together, each has its own number of ways, and it doesn't necessarily get together, but the letters heard on both sides have to be cleared, and you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Well," Guan Tong nodded with his eyebrows: "This is right, I have explained this to Hu San, what kind of dispatch do you have here, let him do his best to do a good job, what?" Have you sought him? What letter did he not tell you? ”

"Not really." Guo Tuiguan hurriedly smiled: "Hu San is a cautious person, Mr. Xu Shi didn't explain that he understood, my staff member Mr. Hong went to look for Hu San, and Hu San didn't seem to be able to believe it." ”

"Oh," Guan Tong raised his hand and rubbed his brows: "It's better for you to find Hu San in person, you are you, your staff is your staff, there is nothing wrong with Hu San being cautious, they are all people taught by the princess." ”

"That's good," Guo Tuiguan readily agreed: "It's also annoying Mr. to explain again." Guan Tong nodded in response, Guo Tuiguan stood up and was about to leave, and a voice came from outside the door: "Sir, the fifth master instructed Guo Tuiguan to go in to see him." Guan Tong responded, his brows furrowed, and he looked at Guo Tuiguan and confessed: "I met the fifth master for a while, and I spoke tactfully, I can't talk nonsense, but I can't tell the truth, in short, choose words that make people hopeful." Guo Tuiguan looked at Guan Tong with some amusement and nodded in response, which was interesting.

Guo Tuiguan came out of the side room, Guan Tong thought about it and was not at ease, so he hurriedly got up on the kang, quickly put on his shoes and entered the upper room behind Guo Tuiguan.

Guo Tuiguan looked at the five princes sitting on the first kang in amazement, but after ten days of hard work, the five princes seemed to have been old for ten years, and their expressions were a little bit like the fourth master, their skin was dull, their eye sockets were sunken, and their lips seemed to be thin. Guo Tuiguan came to his senses in a clever trance, and for no reason he palpitated, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to the fifth master, I am not sure yet." ”

"Not convinced? Do you have the unsure faith? The fifth prince's face was full of color, and he asked trickily, Guo Tuiguan said in a low voice with an embarrassed face: "No, there is no useful letter." The fifth prince sideways him, Guan Tong came in after Guo Tuiguan, and hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "Hu San didn't hear a useful letter at the end, then again, let's just find the princess, if there is a letter, that is, we will find the princess." The five princes glanced at Guan Tong, looked down at the paperwork in his hand, Guo Tuiguan quickly glanced at the five princes, and looked at Guan Tong for help, Guan Tong glanced at him, signaling him to retire, Guo Tuiguan cautiously surrendered his hand and withdrew, his pace slowed down, and he looked at the heavy cotton curtain hanging in the upper room and waiting for Guan Tong to come out.

Not long after, Guan Tong lifted the curtain and came out, Guo Tuiguan hurriedly greeted him, Guan Tong waved his hand to signal him to silence, and the two walked into Guan Tong's chamber with their feet, Guo Tuiguan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What's the matter with the fifth master...... What's going on? The fifth master used to be the most easy-going, but he was really a dragon son and a phoenix grandson, and as soon as this majesty came out, the popularity of the pressure couldn't be revealed. ”

"Don't say it's useless." Guan Tong sat on the kang and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly: "I'll just tell you, the princess really has three long and two short, the fifth master...... Alas, don't talk about the fifth master, just talk about you, you just wash your neck and wait for a knife, don't blame me for speaking straight, and don't make up your mind who is in charge of the world, no matter what, that," Guan Tong pointed to the upper room: "It's the prince, no matter what happens between fathers and sons, outsiders can't be allowed to slack off." ”

"Master Guan! I don't dare to slack off on this! Guo Tuiguan was anxious to hear this, and hurriedly argued, Guan Tong frowned and waved his hand: "It's not you who have the final say, it's the one who has the final say!" So far, if there is not a word of useful letter, he is not happy, and if there is something bad in looking back, saying that you are sluggish, you will also be sluggish, what is the reason for this? Guo Tuiguan is also an understanding person, and your Mr. Hong is even more knowledgeable, I won't say much, the princess is good, naturally everyone is good, if the princess is not good......" Guan Tong dragged his voice: "Don't think about it." Okay, you go back and get busy, I'll ask Hu San to come over, and you can find him in person one night. Guo Tuiguan's mood was heavy and depressed when he heard this, and he couldn't even raise his voice, so he agreed, and went out with his shoulders slumped.

Guan Tong put his hands on his chest, looked up at a bright window, and was stunned for a long time before he raised his voice to call the little guy in and asked him to find Hu San to come in and see him.

Hu Sanyi was dressed in a thick cotton coat, shrunk his shoulders with his sleeves, and slipped into the general prison obscenely, and entered the wing room along the corner of the roadside, and his hand was not withdrawn from his sleeve, so he nodded haha, looking humble and very polite, Guan Tong motioned for him to sit: "You haven't believed it yet?" Hu San's eyes were gloomy and nodded, he didn't answer but sighed, Guan Tong's face sank like water, and he was silent for a while and said: "Guo Tuiguan has just come, what he means, two places will be checked in two places, but no matter which one has a letter, it is best to give the other party a pass, what do you mean?" ”

"Sun Liuye explained the small ones before leaving, and the small ones listened to the arrangement of the steward." Hu San's eyes flashed slightly, he snorted and replied respectfully, Guan Tong said "um": "Keep an eye on the affairs of the Dingguo Mansion, don't go wrong, you have enough manpower, right?" ”

"People are still passable," Hu San's bitter face wrinkled: "It's just that no one is in charge." Guan Tong was stunned when he heard this, Hu San moved, and blinked his eyes a few times: "Guan Ye also knows that the little ones are all lower than the ninth rate, either fish or insects, and there are not many big things, usually relying on the prestige of the sixth master, no one dares to show his teeth, but now that the sixth master is not here, the small one has no ability, if the sixth master is here, maybe he has already found some clues or something, can Guan Ye talk to the fifth master, quickly transfer the sixth master back, our princess's business is the right thing." ”

Hearing Hu San say this, he stayed for a moment before replying: "Sun Liu's side is also a very important matter, I have someone to send a letter to the past, as long as the matter on his side is over, he will come back quickly." ”

"Thank you, Master Guan, for your understanding." Hu San bowed down and thanked him, but Guan Tong's heart slipped through the abnormality, twisted his eyebrows and looked at Hu San, Hu San raised his eyelids and glanced back at Guan Tong, sighed, and said with a bit of self-talk: "The little ones are shallow and knowledgeable, except for our girls, I can't see what else matters, big and small, who let the little ones be our girls' companions, fortunately, our girls have never disliked the little ones, you are busy, the little ones have retired." Guan Tong, who was talking about it, jumped a few times in his heart, straightened up and said: "Hu San, the princess's matter is indeed the most important matter of all things, but this matter is intertwined with the affairs of Ning Qianfu, and even with the affairs of the north, and one link is difficult to solve. ”

"Master Guan has taught you a great lesson!" Hu San bowed and replied: "The little ones are short-sighted. Guan Tong looked at Hu San, who was full of respect and obedience, and suddenly found that the princess really didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp for these dowries. It seems that we have to talk to Mama Xiong tonight, and they seem to treat him as an outsider.

In the early winter of Bei'an City, the cold wind was biting, and King Shou was dressed in civilian clothes, wearing a sable cloak, with a gloomy face behind his back and talking with his staff Mr. Jiang in the barracks.

“…… We can't wait until the grain and grass are sufficient," Shou Wang's voice was gentle: "The grain and grass are enough to wait until after the summer harvest next year, and we can't wait until then." Mr. Jiang showed a wry smile on his face, for them, it is impossible to wait until next year's summer harvest, but Chang'an Hou Zhu Wenqi's insistence on waiting until next year's summer grain harvest is too sufficient, but their reasons can only know each other well but must not be put on the table.

"The prince already has a final account?" Mr. Jiang asked in a low voice, King Shou stopped, looked at the slowly falling sunset in the distance, took a deep breath and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger, I went out with the official family back then, but along a few piles of horse manure, hundreds of horsemen chased thousands of miles in the starry night, and when I came back, there were only a few dozen horses left, and the official family thought I was too conservative." The sunset hit King Shou's face, and the face of King Shou who fell into memory was warm, Mr. Jiang looked at the face in front of him that was too warm and veinful, and suddenly felt sad for no reason, his plan They discussed it I don't know how many times, how risky he knew too well, from the time he proposed this plan, he almost couldn't sleep every night. Back then, he fought with the official family in all directions, and when hundreds of horsemen rode the starry night to chase the poor Kou, there was an official family raiding formation in the rear, and he faced the enemy, but behind him was a strong support, and now, they are very likely to fall into the danger of being attacked by the enemy.

But if you don't take such a risk, how can you break the current situation of sticking to your teeth and being in a dilemma? There is at least the possibility of breaking through the game, and if it continues like this, there is only a dead end. Mr. Jiang shuddered lightly, the official family was ruthless, and in the years he had been with him, he knew too clearly.
