On the southwest border, guarding the moat in front of the gate, Wang Botao, dressed as a "fortune teller", held a cloth banner with the words "Astronomy and geography" in one hand. Looking at the big iron gate that had been closed on the other side of the river, I couldn't help but stretch out my other hand and stroke the beard on my chin, frowning and muttering to myself: The officials who have been in contact with the two Hua generals have warned me, "They are suspicious by nature, and you will definitely be more than lucky if you go." Hey, I don't know if I can fulfill the emperor's will this time?

After about half a burnt incense, he suddenly heard a sound of "boom" and "rattle". As far as the eye can see, I saw that the big iron door in front of me finally opened slowly!

The two young men in armor I had just seen swaggered out; The two soldiers stood at the head of the city and slowly lowered the drawbridge, and when it was firmly across the rolling moat, they then said in unison: "Come in, fortune teller!"

Hearing this, Wang Botao led the red horse and stepped on the suspension bridge made of bamboo strips. Ignoring the sound of the water flowing under his feet, he strode to the other end, his feet just landing on the ground in front of the city gate. I heard another "chirping" sound behind me!

He didn't need to look back, he also knew it: the two soldiers at the head of the city were working together to put away the drawbridge made of bamboo strips!

Moreover, Wang Botao's heart at this moment is full of the emperor's will. There was no time to take into account the details of their retraction bridge, he immediately turned to the two young men in front of him with both hands clenched into fists, and said politely and politely: Two lieutenants, the old minister greets you two!

As soon as his words landed, the eyes of Ma Shan and Wang Jiansheng, the two deputies of General Hua, immediately widened. As if they had made an appointment, they said in unison, "Old man, what did you just say?" We may not have heard clearly, so please say it again!

Wang Botao casually pointed to the city gate sideways, and said confidently: Two lieutenants, this place is not the place to speak. Let's go in and see the two generals Hua and talk about it!

Hearing this, the two lieutenants said in a stiff tone: "Old man, you have crossed the suspension bridge alone now. Now, you'd better not play any tricks to fool our two leaders. Otherwise, they will definitely make you "have no return"!

Wang Botao stepped into the city gate, and said without changing his face and heartbeat: Two deputy generals, just like our "old dragon clock". What tricks do you dare to play to fool the two Hua generals? You two are too overestimating our abilities, can you be so cautious?

Ma Shan and Wang Jiansheng, who followed closely behind, couldn't help but say in unison: Old man, you are holding the cloth cover of "Astronomy and geography". Just now on the other side of the moat, you were still clamoring to tell the fortunes of the two Hua generals. Now, how did he become an "old minister" again?

Wang Botao deliberately laughed out loud, and then pretended to look around at the movements around him before lowering his voice and saying: Two lieutenants, both of you have pricked up your ears to hear clearly. This time, we are entrusted by the emperor to send two wedding cards to your leaders! Just now, the reason why I was dressed as a "fortune teller" shouted that I wanted to tell their fortunes. It's just to "cover people's eyes and ears"!

The words popped out, and a voice suddenly appeared in his heart shouting: As the saying goes, "Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black", and they have followed the two Hua generals for many years. The heart will inevitably be "suspicious"! Will they believe the reasons we casually made up?

Ma Shan and Wang Jiansheng were both born in loyal and honest families, and they were nurtured by their family members since childhood. Although he grew up and learned martial arts, he went to the society to serve the imperial court, and followed the two Hua generals to the southwest border to guard for many years. It's not like "those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black"!

At the moment, the two of them bowed their heads in unison and pondered for a while, then patted their heads and suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out that you are afraid of being discovered by the spies of the neighboring three countries. We really think too much and think crookedly, and I hope you don't remember the villain!

Finally, Wang Botao clearly heard the voice in his heart and whispered: Mom, fortunately, these two lieutenants are not as suspicious as the two leaders. Otherwise, they listened to the reason we just made. There will definitely be other objections!

At this time, two majestic voices floated coldly in front of him: That fortune teller, you hurry up and calculate the accident for the two of us six years ago. Who is it thanks to?

Hearing this, Wang Botao couldn't help but secretly rejoice: Oh, the two Hua generals are still angry about the reduction of military salaries six years ago. Fortunately, we were on duty at the "National Treasury Academy" with Lord Yao at that time. Otherwise, if nothing is known about the matter. I can't play this scene today!

Thinking of this, he pointed to the "Juyi Hall" three meters away in front of him and said: Two generals Hua, don't be impatient. This is definitely not the place to talk about things, so let's sit down there and talk over tea!

Although the two generals have a body of evil arts, they also do not have the ability to "Monkey King Seventy-two Changes". Therefore, it is impossible to become mosquitoes, flies, roundworms and the like into Wang Botao's abdominal cavity to "find out", and it is impossible to pinch the budget like the Eight Road Immortals to budget "everything in the world"!

Right now, the words of the "fortune teller". They couldn't help but put their heads together and whispered: so it seems that he came here in a hurry to shout for us two fortunes. It must have been figured out by him, why did the imperial court suddenly send Lord Qincha here to secretly investigate six years ago. Later, we deducted the increased military salary we asked for!

As he spoke, the two Hua generals all gritted their teeth and muttered: Hmph, wait for him to find out who sued us six years ago for their "black state". Absolutely let that hateful "accuser" and his family taste the pain of our evil arts to repay the hatred of the year!

This common belief drove the two of them to immediately turn sideways and make an "invite" gesture and said in unison: "Old man, please enter the "Gathering Hall." As long as you can solve the mystery that we have suppressed for six years, we will definitely be rewarded!

The words slipped out happily, and the two of them walked towards the "Juyi Hall" with Wang Botao in their arms. After all, for the two of them: the mystery that has been suppressed for six years is about to be "solved". Of course, it's a great thing!

As everyone knows, what the "fortune teller" who is sandwiched in the middle is thinking: The two generals Hua, Xu Zhifu, who sued you two for "blackness" back then, is also an honest and honest official with clean sleeves. We will only let you both know the principle that "paper can't hold fire", and if you don't want people to know, you can't do anything unless you do. I wouldn't have betrayed him at all!

At this moment, the two deputies, Ma Shan and Wang Jiansheng, also wanted to know why the imperial court suddenly sent people here to secretly investigate six years ago. And what about deducting the increased military pay requested by the two leaders?

Therefore, they did not reveal to their leaders: the "fortune teller" in front of them is actually the minister sent by the imperial court to send the wedding sticker!

After a while, a group of five people walked into the "Juyi Hall". The two Hua generals hugged Wang Botao and sat on the Taishi chair at a square table, and immediately shouted: Ma Shan, Wang Jiansheng, serve "Longjing tea" to entertain guests!

As soon as their words landed, the two listeners immediately walked to the incense table behind the square table. Grab three handfuls of "Longjing tea" and put them into three porcelain cups, then pick up the teapot and pour it into the steaming boiling water!

Seeing that the tea leaves inside were gradually stretching, the two of them put the three porcelain cups in front of the two leaders and the comer. said with a smile on his face: The fragrance of tea has overflowed. You can take your time!

Picked up the porcelain cup and took a few sips, and Wang Botao, who was thinking about the rhetoric, put down the porcelain cup. Immediately, he took out two pieces of golden silk cloth from his sleeve cage, handed them to the two Hua generals and said: Before telling you about the two of you six years ago, Lao Chen feels that it is necessary for you to take a look at them first. The contents of these two pieces of silk!

After receiving the two golden silk cloths, the two Hua generals stared at the old man in front of them with their eyes wide open. I couldn't believe it: What's the matter, it's been a long time. You're not a "fortune teller", but you're a master sent by the imperial court?

At the same time, they were busy looking down to read the contents of the silk cloth. After a while, they raised their heads as if they had made an appointment and frowned and said: Hey, I used to celebrate the New Year's festival and the emperor's birthday. He just sent people to paste the announcement of "celebrating the whole world and rewarding for three days" in each Sichuan and county government, and never sent someone to send this kind of wedding card with a jade seal to invite the two of us back to Beijing for a banquet! On his fifty-ninth birthday this year, why did he suddenly think of doing this?

Wang Botao stared at the two Chinese generals with blazing eyes, and said gently: In the past, I faced the tense situation of "you fight for me" at the border pass, how dare the emperor send someone here to summon the two of you to the palace for a banquet? Now that I am in a peaceful scene of singing and dancing, he dares to send the old minister here to summon you two back to Beijing for a banquet. It's a shame that you two are still the generals who lead the troops to fight, and you can't even understand the emperor's painstaking efforts!

One of the two listeners blurted out angrily: Lord Wang, it is said that since our brothers used to defeat the soldiers and horses of the three neighboring countries several times. My dynasty is a scene of singing and dancing! How could it be that only now did the emperor remember to send someone here to invite us back to Beijing for a banquet on his birthday?

The words popped out of his mouth, and he suddenly reached out to cover his mouth. The other couldn't help but stare at his brother with his eyes wide open!

Seeing this, Wang Botao patted his head and deliberately exclaimed: What's the matter, didn't you two release carrier pigeons to send letters to Queen Hua at the beginning. Say that there is constant war in the southwestern border, do you two have to constantly recruit troops to expand the army?

He frowned and said: The old minister clearly remembers that the emperor issued several holy decrees in the "Qinzheng Palace". I want Lord Yao, the duty officer of the "National Treasury Yuan", to remember to increase the military salary in the southwest border every year! Hey, who ate the leopard's gall in the first place? How dare you pretend to be in the name of the two of you and "lie about the military situation to the imperial court and ask for military salaries"?

Speaking of this, Wang Botao shook his head and said: People's hearts are made of meat, and everyone inevitably has a selfish heart. Especially those men who are in the army, who would not expect this kind of good thing of "increasing military pay every year". Will you be able to land on yourself one day? However, six years have passed. The emperor didn't issue another holy decree at all, asking Lord Yao of the "National Treasury Academy" to increase the salaries of other troops stationed at the border!

These words stimulated the two Hua generals and couldn't help but stick out their tongues and say: Lord Wang, so to speak. It was these members of the army stationed on the other borders of our dynasty who jointly asked the emperor to send Lord Qincha to the southwestern border six years ago. Secretly investigate the details of the two of us!

Wang Botao pressed their shoulders thoughtfully, sighed and said, "Hey, in fact, you two don't know anything." In the six years that Lord Yao of the "National Treasury Academy" has increased the salaries of your two troops, the emperor has received joint letters from other troops stationed at the border from time to time! As you two have just guessed, the content is roughly a reasonable request for the emperor to send Lord Qincha to the southwestern border. Secretly investigate and find out, is there really a constant war there every year? Has the annual increase in military salaries of the "National Treasury Yuan" filled the private pockets of certain generals?

Hearing this, the two Hua generals beat their chests and said: Oh, it turns out that this is the case. After receiving a top-secret document from Lord Yao of the "National Treasury Academy" that he would no longer increase the salaries of our army, we have been entangled in hunting in our free time other than training soldiers. Who went to the capital to sue us for "blackness"?

As soon as their words landed, Wang Botao said "while the iron is hot": Two generals Hua, now I am concerned about the emperor sending me here to send a wedding post. Do you have any objections?

The two Hua generals pointed to the cloth in his hand together, frowned and said: Lord Wang, why can't the emperor send people to paste the announcement of "celebrating the whole world and rewarding for three days" in various Sichuan and county governments. But send the old and healthy you to travel thousands of miles away from the capital here to send two wedding stickers stamped with jade seals?

Wang Botao pushed away their hands, and said with a dissatisfied face: "Two General Hua, the emperor is just because he is considerate that you two are the brothers of Queen Hua. At the beginning, I didn't hesitate to believe your two words and ask Lord Yao to increase the military salary here! Now that he is in the "national peace and security", he thinks about the two of you day and night. will take the opportunity of his fifty-ninth birthday to send us here to let the two of you go back to Beijing for a banquet!

As he spoke, he shook his head and said: This time, the emperor must really do what you two said. The generals of the three neighboring countries will definitely "move when they hear the wind"! Only when we come here in the guise of a "fortune teller" will there be no unforeseen consequences. It's a shame that you two are still generals who lead troops to fight, and your heads are not enlightened at all. What a discredit for the title of "General of the Expedition to the West"!

The two generals couldn't find any flaws anymore, so they nodded their heads and said, "Lord Wang, your words have already reached this point." According to what you said, let's go to Beijing with you for a banquet!

Hearing this, Wang Botao's voice in his heart shouted again: My God, I finally completed the task without expectations. It's dangerous!
