King Xiao Ming looked at the back of Xiangshi leaving and said to the people who were lined up beside him: "Xiao Yin is hidden in the wilderness, and Da Yin is hidden in the court, this person is so clever, he must be a master hermit, and he is definitely comparable to ordinary people." ”

All the servants responded in unison: "Your Majesty is Shengming." ”

At this time, I saw a lot of dust and smoke behind me, and several horses ran along the street, and several vendors couldn't dodge and were trampled over by the horses.

Suddenly, people drank and neighed, and it was very lively.

One person saw King Xiao Ming in the distance, and shouted from afar: "Your Excellency, there is an urgent official document in Yingtian City, I am afraid that the situation will change, and your lord will quickly return to my house with me." ”

King Xiao Ming took a look, he was really the head of the house, riding a black horse, and he was the first to run ahead.

The manager came to King Xiao Ming, looked around at the subordinates on the side and scolded: "Didn't you say that you are not allowed to take the king out to wander around, you should really be punished if you don't listen to the order." ”

King Xiao Ming hurriedly stopped the head manager's words and said, "Manager, don't scold them, this time they traveled with the lonely king is the meaning of the lonely king." ”

The chief manager opened his mouth and said, "This, your lordship, then please go back with the old slave." Lord Wang and Master Li are still waiting. ”

As he spoke, the manager took off the cover on his body and draped it on the body of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming.

"It's okay, the market is so depressed, and the weather has turned a lot colder, it seems that there is not much excitement in the city to see, and the lonely king will go back with you." Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er responded.

When the chief steward saw that the master had the intention of turning back to the house, he was overjoyed, so he ordered someone to lead a high-headed green horse, and the two subordinates who were waiting on the side hurriedly ran to the side of the green horse, and then crouched down, arched his back, and volunteered to make a stone on the horse.

The manager helped Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er to step on the backs of the two, and carefully helped Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er to the saddle.

Then the group raised their whips and beat the horses and ran back, and the dust flew all the way, which caused passers-by to look sideways, and they dared not speak out.

Xiangshi returned to an ancient temple, Shi Shiran opened the temple door, got into it in a flash, and then closed the temple door.

The soldiers who were cooking in the pot in the house heard the noise, came out to take a look, and when they saw the soldiers coming back, they hurriedly saluted and said, "Strategist, you are back, how is the matter?" ”

Xiangshi smiled and said: "King Xiao Ming is already like this, as long as you wait for things not to be exposed, the big thing will be done."

The soldiers all clenched their fists and said: "Rest assured, we have already spread rumors in the city, as long as we are not deaf, we must have heard the news." ”

"Yes, that's very good."

A group of servants and soldiers surrounded King Xiao Ming, and the stars escorted King Xiao Ming back to the mansion like a moon.

King Xiao Ming immediately changed into a set of clothes and came to see Lord Wang and Lord Li.

Fang entered the foyer, and Lord Wang and Master Li got up and knelt down to greet him, "Your Majesty is back." ”

These two have always been at odds, but there is already a military general Liu Futong suppressed on top, and they share the same hatred and hatred and unite to deal with Liu Futong. Now that Liu Futong is dead, the alliance between the two will immediately decompose, each setting up a sect, and forming its own faction, so at present, King Xiao Ming is counting the Lord Wang and Lord Li with the greatest power. Therefore, the gap between the two is also very deep, and they can't wait to put each other to death immediately, and they have the power alone, and the two are equal, and no one can get anyone, but the resentment is deeper, and the bigger the feud, they are already mortal enemies that cannot be solved, and the so-called frozen three feet is by no means a day's cold.

Except for the time when the court was discussed, the two had to stand in the same court, and at other times the two avoided it, with me without him, and with him without me. If it is really an occasion that cannot be avoided, the two will not say a word.

As soon as Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, saw two adults who were usually enemies of each other coming to the door together, he knew that something big must have happened.

Although Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, is weak and incompetent, he still has the vision of this point.

Sure enough, as soon as Han Lin'er made a decision, Lord Wang immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, Chen Youliang is preparing for war, and wants to attack Wu Guogong's Yingtian City." ”

King Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment and asked: "Chen Youliang wants to attack Yingtiancheng, that is also Zhu Yuanzhang's business, even if Yingtian is attacked by Chen Youliang, what does it have to do with me." ”

Lord Wang replied: "Your Majesty, this matter seems to have nothing to do with your lordship on the surface, but Weichen's subordinates reported that Chen Youliang sent troops this time, why King Xiao Ming came. ”

King Xiao Ming was even more puzzled, and asked Lord Wang: "You are confused about Lone, what the hell is this, quickly explain it to King Lone." ”

"Yes, Junshan" Lord Wang knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen's subordinates heard that Chen Youliang, the king of Han, actually meant to attack Yingtian this time. ”

"What does the Yuan Lord mean?"

"The first monarch is in Japan, the lord has attacked the first monarch, and now the first monarch is gone, the monarch is on the throne, the lord wants to attack again, but there are rebellions in the Central Plains from time to time, and the lord has no time to take care of him, and because the monarch has Zhu Yuanzhang's protection, the lord and Chen Youliang formed an alliance, so that Chen Youliang captured Yingtian, and quickly arrested my lord." Lord Wang said alarmistly.

"This is true, but there is speculation." King Xiao Ming was shocked and couldn't help asking.

"It's true, this is the news that Wei Chen painstakingly planted in Chen Youliang's army to report back." Lord Wang kowtowed and said.

Lord Li said sarcastically on the side: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid it's not the spies you have planted in Chen Youliang's army, but the spies who have been planted in Chuzhou City." ”

Lord Wang's face turned red when he heard this, and Hao Ran said: "Lord Li, when I installed the spy, you probably were still sleeping with a beautiful woman, I heard that Lord Li recently married a new favorite in Chuzhou City, and his affection is extraordinary, and he will never leave him all day long." I didn't expect Master Li to be free to come here today. ”

When Lord Li heard this, he was furious and said: "Lord Wang, you have the name of Zaifu, but in fact you can't do anything, make a word, and let the king run around in vain and shame the world." ”

Lord Wang's face turned into a pig's liver color in vain, and the embarrassed and angry Lord Wang stepped forward and grabbed Lord Li's shirt, Lord Li saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, grabbed a teacup with his backhand and slammed it to the ground.

There was a loud "bang", which frightened Lord Wang and Lord Li hurriedly turned their eyes to look at Han Lin'er, the already angry Xiao Ming Wang, and hurriedly walked over and knelt down to listen to the training.

"You and the others are both lonely ministers, and they should have their own identities and national bodies, but looking at the way you wait, they are no different from shrews who are scolding people on the street. How can you rest assured that you will be able to entrust state affairs to you and others in the future. Xiao Ming King Han Lin'er shouted very sadly.

Lord Wang hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded: "Your Majesty, Weichen has no form, Weichen should not have a dirty relationship with Master Li here, and then fight." However, Weichen is really unbearable, Lord Li directly presented in front of the monarch that Weichen bears the name of Zaifu, but in fact it is useless, Weichen is so dedicated to the monarch, and Lord Li not only can't see it, but also maliciously slanders, which really chills Weichen, so he can't suppress the evil anger in his heart for a while, so he just made a move. Jun Mingjian. ”

Lord Li was not to be outdone, and said: "Your Excellency, this is clearly Lord Wang's wicked person who sued first, Lord Wang deliberately ridiculed my recent concubine affairs, and the Lord Wang also listened to it, not to mention that Lord Wang destroyed my clothes and wanted to give me an old fist, which was seen by the Lord himself, and the King Shengming decided, please make the decision for Weichen." ”

When King Xiao Ming saw that these two people were already attacking each other, he couldn't help but gasp and said: "What are you waiting for, now the country is in danger, the society is not guaranteed, you don't care about the overall situation, but you can't attack each other, you really don't know the general situation, but I know Xiaozhi, what's the use of me leaving you." ”

At this moment, Lord Ziwang and Master Li were a little anxious.

Lord Wang hurriedly said: "Lord, this incident happened between us because we had different views on state affairs, but we were all impartial and had no other selfish thoughts. The king is clear. ”

Lord Li also turned the head of the gun and echoed: "What Lord Wang said is very true, please check it out." ”

Seeing that the two were no longer arguing, and that he had extinguished his liver fire, King Xiao Ming asked Lord Li: "Lord Wang came to see this king for the purpose of the Yuan Master's arrest of this king, I don't know what Lord Li is here for today." ”

Master Li said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is here today to respond to the letter sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu in Tiancheng, to ask for help. ”

Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, was taken aback and said, "Zhu Yuanzhang has a letter, take it from me." ”

Master Li took out the letter with his own arms, but it was actually an official document and handed it to Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming.

Lord Wang raised his eyes and saw that it was an official document, and he couldn't help but scold at Lord Li: "Why haven't I seen this official document?" What a bold thief, you dare to steal official documents. ”

Lord Li choked him without raising his head: "This document arrived the day before yesterday, Lord Zaifu was busy building the palace, and he was negligent about such a major event, so he had to bother me, a person who stayed with his concubine all day long, to take this thing and present it to the king. ”

"You, you, you." Lord Wang was choked and couldn't say a word, and only after a while did he squeeze out a sentence: "The palace is also for the king, is this also wrong." ”

Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, took the official document, only to see that the fire paint on it had fallen off, and knew that Master Li had already seen it. Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er quickly read the official document, then handed it to Lord Wang, and immediately turned to Lord Li and asked, "What is your opinion on this matter?" Whether the Lone King should send troops over to help or watch the fire from the other side, ignore it. ”

Master Li replied: "Your Majesty, since Zhu Yuanzhang has written so far, it obviously shows that Yingtian's battle must be extremely dangerous, and the generals and soldiers in Chuzhou are all the henchmen of General Liu Futong, who have guarded Jun Shang for many years, and it is really a rare elite division, so he must not be allowed to get involved in this battle lightly and become Zhu Yuanzhang's pawn." ”

"I don't agree with Lord Li's opinion." Over there, after hurriedly reading the official document handed over by King Xiao Ming, Han Lin'er, Lord Wang had already returned the official document to King Xiao Ming, and he had objections when he opened his mouth.

Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er turned his face to Lord Wang very attentively and said, "I want to hear and see." ”

Lord Wang said to King Xiao Ming: "Judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's letter, Chen Youliang's attack on Yingtian is really for the king's sake, if Yingtian is lost, Zhu Yuanzhang is defeated, Chen Youliang and his elite division will go straight to Chuzhou, I am afraid that Chuzhou will go down overnight." From this point of view, the Yangtze River and Fengtian City are actually a big barrier for the king, if you don't join forces with Zhu Yuanzhang, if you lose the sky, we will have no barrier to defend, Chuzhou will inevitably become a fish on Chen Youliang's chopping board, let it be slaughtered. ”

Lord Li smiled slightly and said: "Lord Wang, is this Zhu Yuanzhang reliable, if the army is called to Zhu Yuanzhang, wouldn't it be cheaper for Zhu Yuanzhang." ”

Lord Wang said with a straight face: "If Zhu Yuanzhang is unreliable, the last time the monarch was in trouble, Zhu Yuanzhang was far away in Yingtian, how could he travel overnight and rush to rescue the monarch and me." Now you are not saying this to the Lord's intent? Although the grace of saving lives cannot be repaid at the moment, how can it be further enhanced and wantonly slandered. ”
