Qiu Yue smiled and said, "Hou Ye already has a judgment in his heart, doesn't he?" Xiaguan has been guarding the pass in the Yuquan camp, and he doesn't know much about the things in Ningxia Town; However, since the adult asked, the lower official naturally had to give an answer; My answer is only four words: the mountain rain is coming. ”

Song Nan muttered: "The black clouds are crushing the city and the city is about to be destroyed, the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and sure enough, something big will happen." ”

Yang Yiqing was shocked: "Does General Qiu have any evidence?" ”

Qiu Yue smiled and shook his head: "Evidence? How can there be any evidence of such things? ”

Song Nan said: "Then how did General Qiu judge that the mountain rain was coming?" ”

Qiu Yue said: "Xiaguan dared to ask Lord Song rhetorically, how did you judge it?" ”

Song Nan thought for a while and said: "You might as well be honest today, this official came to Ningxia Town for two things, the first thing is the attack on the post house of General Yang Commander, and the second thing is that all the eighteen secret agents who were planted in the army and the Qingwang Mansion by my Jinyi Wei were killed overnight. Some people blame both of these things on the Tartars, but I know that it won't be that simple. My Jinyi Wei secret agents are lurking in various yayas, and some of them dare to kill casually even if their identities are exposed, I think they must have discovered something unspeakable. Moreover, I concluded that the person who killed the three spies in the palace was the guards under the King of Anhua, because the scars revealed their identities, and after a few contacts, I have reason to believe that the Jinyi Wei spies were killed because they found something that should not have been found. ”

Qiu Yue nodded and said, "Hou Ye is really shrewd, but Hou Ye wants to find out what King Anhua is hiding?" ”

Song Nan said: "Exactly, I didn't even hesitate to sneak into the palace to inquire if I left any clues before the Jinyiwei spy was killed, but unfortunately the palace is like a tiger's den in Longtan, but I fell into it for two days, and I was also recognized by the king of Anhua." King Anhua wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, he must have known in advance that someone would assassinate me in the lamp market, so he deliberately let me out of the house, and sent Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi to accompany him to monitor and take my life while he was in chaos. Unexpectedly, the head on my neck was sturdy, but Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi were killed by me. I am fortunate to be able to sit here and drink tea with General Qiu today. ”

Qiu Yue said in horror: "It turns out that the Hou Ye has really been to the palace, and it turns out that the rumors are true." ”

Song Nan was stunned and said, "Do you also know about this?" ”

Qiu Yue bowed his head slightly and said: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I was in the city, and He Jin, the commander of the Zhongtun Guard, came to my house to talk, and I drank some wine with him. There will be a big change, someone is going to die, and it is implied that it is you, Master Hou. I thought he was joking, you came out because of the Tuntian incident, in the army. The generals are quite disrespectful to you behind your back, I thought it was wine talk. But that night, there was indeed an assassination of Hou Ye in the light market, and I realized that what He Jin said was not drunk nonsense. So I quietly investigated, and learned that there were rumors in private that you had entered the palace at night to make trouble, and this matter was arranged by the prince. ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "It turns out that General Qiu has such a good relationship with He Jin, and he also informed General Qiu in advance of such matters." ”

Qiu Yue hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Master Hou, don't say that, I have nothing to do with He Jin, we are both commanders in the army, and we will not die of old age and do not get along." Besides, the reason why He Jin is familiar with me is entirely for one reason. ”

"Woo and persuade you to join the King of Anhua, right?" Song Nan said quietly.

Qiu Yue said: "I don't deny this, in fact, not only He Jin, but also Zhou Ang, the commander of the Houtun guard, Zhang Qin, the general of Pingyu City, and even the prince himself have hinted at me. ”

Song Nan said with interest: "But I don't know how General Qiu survived to this day." ”

Qiu Yue said: "I'm just dealing with it vaguely, Master Hou should understand my hardship, I can't categorically refuse, or even reprimand and scold, in that case, I am afraid that I would have lost this official position a long time ago." I've been waiting for an opportunity, and when I get the right handle, I'll risk the hell in Ningxia to the death, and I won't sit idly by. ”

Song Nan and Yang Yiqing raised their fingers, and Yang Yiqing praised: "Bear the burden of humiliation and take into account the overall situation, no wonder General Peng Yue said that you are a reliable and temperamental person." ”

Qiu Yue waved his hand and said: "My lord praises falsely, this qiē is just a duty; It's a pity that he is alone in Ningxia Town, knowing that the undercurrent is surging, but he has no way to talk. ”

Song Nan said: "Why don't you tell Jiang Han?" And Li Zeng, could it be that they are all the prince's people? ”

Qiu Yue said: "Jiang Han is not promising, and he is also timid, in the eyes of the prince, he is not as good as a thousand households." As for Li Zeng, Marquis Song wouldn't be someone who didn't know who he was, how could King Anhua go to woo him? Besides, what is the use of a town army eunuch? The general with the army is the first choice of the king of Anhua. ”

Song Nan nodded in agreement, and suddenly asked: "General Qiu, since you have long been suspicious, why didn't you tell me clearly when I came to Ningxia Town, and Lord Yang has been in Ningxia Town for so long, and I haven't seen you reveal half a word." ”

Qiu Yue smiled: "With all due respect, I can't believe anyone except myself; Although the Marquis of Song is from the capital, how can the lower officials know if there is anything to do between you and the prince; Besides, as soon as you came to Ningxia Town, you lived in Guanxue Building, how dare the lower officials confide in it? ”

Song Nan raised his forehead and said: "I see, I lived in Guanxue Tower to make you mistakenly think that I have a close relationship with King Anhua, I should have thought of this section a long time ago." ”

Qiu Yue said: "Xiaguan secretly observed the actions of the adults, to be honest, it wasn't until you killed Shi Lian in public that morning that Xiaguan really believed that Hou Ye and King Anhua were people on two paths, otherwise there would be no today's meeting at all." ”

Song Nan laughed and said: "It's not too late to understand now, after all, this Ningxia town is not full of ink." ”

Qiu Yue tilted his head and asked, "What are you going to do now?" Whether to leave Ningxia Town and return to the capital or have another clever plan, Xia Guan knows that King Anhua has hated Hou Ye to the core, and Hou Ye stays in Ningxia Town for a day, and the situation on the night of Shangyuan is very likely to be repeated again; Although the adults also have hundreds of brocade-clothed guards and horses in their hands, that is not enough at all. ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "If I want to leave, I will leave a long time ago, it is not only the King of Anhua who wants my head in Ningxia Town, the group of people who assassinated me in Shangyuan Night are not the prince's people, but someone else." ”

Qiu Yue was shocked and said, "Someone else? ”

Song Nan said: "That's the trick given to me by Li Zeng and Zhou Dong, these two dogs were ordered by someone in Beijing, and they wanted to end me up in Ningxia Town, and General Qiu should have heard about the things in the capital." ”

Qiu Yuequan understood, and said with a long sigh: "Master Hou can be stable, but it is already a big trouble to provoke King Anhua, and I don't want to have another enemy." If I were the Hou Master, I am afraid that I would not be able to eat. ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "Let the storm come more violently, the man stands up to the sky, retreats in the face of difficulties, and avoids the murder is absolutely not something to do." ”

Qiu Yue looked at Song Nan with admiration and said: "Song Hou Ye is really a real hero, I have heard some of Song Hou Ye's resume before, I always thought that there was an exaggeration, today I know that it must not be false, Song Hou Ye is a person who has achieved great things." ”

Song Nan shook his head and said: "Every qiē is an opportunity, and when the wind and clouds meet, it is the time to test whether a person can achieve great things." For example, in Ningxia Town today, the mountain rain is coming, and the dark clouds are pressing the city, at this time, it is not only a dangerous place, but also an excellent opportunity, and many people are discouraged, so they can only work for a lifetime. ”

"Could it be that the Hou Ye already has a clever plan in his chest?" Qiu Yue's eyes lit up and he asked in a low voice.

Song Nan said: "I don't dare to say a clever plan, but I did think of a risky move, but I can't play this scene alone, and I have to get the assistance of General Qiu to play it well, I don't know if General Qiu has the guts." ”

Qiu Yue exclaimed: "Could it be that the Hou Ye wants me to lead the soldiers and horses......"

"No, we don't have evidence, so we can't act openly, at most, we ask Lord Yang to mobilize the surrounding troops and horses to prepare, but we can't stop what is coming. If we can grasp the evidence, we can report it to the imperial court, and second, we can dispatch troops to suppress it immediately, but we can't do any of these things now. You need to know that the person we are dealing with is surnamed Zhu, and he has royal blood in his body, and if there is no definite evidence, we are killing ourselves by acting rashly. ”

"Master Hou, in that case, what can the lower officials do to help?"

Song Nan said in a low voice: "General Qiu, King Anhua is showing more and more horses' feet, and he must know this himself, he hates me to the core, but he can only deal with me secretly, and I will never give him a chance; There is only one way for him to kill me, and that is to act openly and lead his troops to directly annihilate all my brocade guards. The reason why he hasn't done it yet is not that he doesn't want to, I think he doesn't feel ready. Whether it is materials, weapons, armor, or troops, he must be thoughtful before he can act. ”

"Although He Jin and Zhou Ang's two guards have fallen to him, your former guard is his last heart disease, and the reason why he actively woos you is nothing more than to occupy Ningxia Town in one fell swoop, and put his energy into resisting the army that the imperial court is about to encircle and suppress. Your soldiers and horses are stationed in the pass in the northwest of Ningxia Town, which is the trouble of his abdomen and back when he starts an incident, the pass is strong and difficult to attack, once the matter is raised, he does not have much time to gnaw hard bones, because the imperial army is coming in an instant, which is an important reason why he resists his anger. ”

Qiu Yue frowned and nodded in agreement, raised his eyebrows and said: "Since this is the case, he has never let go of his humble position, so can he only hold back and dare not move?" ”

Song Nan shook his head and said: "It's the tumor that will eventually get sick, it's the scabies that will always come out, Ningxia Town is an important town in my Ming Dynasty, if there is a long-term risk of breaking out into turmoil, it will become a big disaster one day; And he won't let you reject him all the time, he will try his best to transfer you or find a reason to remove you, and then it will be even more troublesome. ”

"According to the Hou Ye's intentions, how should this matter be planned?"

Song Nan sneered and said: "What should come is always coming, it's better to come early if it's late, he doesn't dare to move, we might as well help him, get ready first, and once he launches, he will be wiped out immediately." ”

Yang Yiqing and Qiu Yue stretched out their heads at the same time and asked, "I want to hear about it!" ”
