It's just that Li Hao had already thought of a reason on the way over, at least Lou Niu didn't notice anything wrong for a while.

Of course, Lou Niu did not give up his suspicions, but put his idea on the people below, wanting to use this to determine Li Hao's whereabouts all the way.

After all, there are some things that Li Hao himself and the main leader of the troops can conceal, but it is too difficult to conceal them if the soldiers below also follow suit.

However, in response to this, Li Hao naturally took precautions, anyway, the deeds he fabricated were basically based on reality, even if Lou Niu inquired, he couldn't ask for much.

And Li Hao himself is not afraid of Lou Niu's suspicions, anyway, he has already entered the city now.

In this case, it is not that Li Hao looks down on Lou Niu, but in fact, Lou Niu has no chance of turning around.

I was worried that Ling Budo would be caught off guard by Lou Niu's tricks, but in fact, when it came to the ability to lead troops to fight, Lou Niu was still far behind.

After arriving at the county government, Li Hao also saw Ling Budo and Cui You, and was immediately asked the reason for coming.

Li Hao explained, "That's right, the prince will be there soon, so he sent me to check the situation and choose the appropriate place to stay.

As a result, just halfway through the trip, I heard the news that Tongniu County was captured by Ma Rong, so I brought people and horses over.

Originally, I thought that Tongniu County would be easy to defend, but I was worried about it, but I received the news that Lou Gongzi had single-handedly recovered the city."

After speaking, he said to Lou Niu again: "Here I have to congratulate the son downstairs, you have made such a great contribution this time, and after the prince gets the news, he will definitely help you ask for credit from His Majesty, after all, you are also the son and nephew of Lou Taifu's family."

Hearing Li Hao's praise, Lou Niu's originally smiling face suddenly appeared a little ugly, but he quickly recovered.

He said loudly, "General Yuan is overrated, I just did something to be done, and I deserve to be praised like this."

After finishing speaking, he left first under the pretext of having to deal with business, and gave up this place to Li Hao and Ling Budo to talk.

But this is also a valid reason, now there is no county order in Tongniu County, and the county official is also locked up in the county office, and a county lieutenant is working outside, and he is injured.

Therefore, after Lou Niu entered the city, he took over the responsibility of handling official affairs by virtue of his merit in persuading Ma Rong to surrender.

Of course, after Ling Budo and Li Hao arrived, they naturally had the power to take over directly, but neither of them had any intention of doing so.

Just after Lou Niu left, Ling Budo suddenly asked the two brothers of Liang Qiu to go out and guard outside the door, and then said, "Lou Niu persuaded Ma Rong to surrender this matter, is there anything wrong with it?"

Hearing this, Li Hao thought that Ling Budo had seen something, after all, this guy was still smart, so he asked, "Oh, what problem do you see?"

Who knew that Ling Budo shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything from Lou Niu, it's just that your attitude today is obviously wrong, what is the relationship between Lou Niu and Lou Taifu, you can't know.

But now that you know, why did you say this just now, as far as your city government is concerned, I don't think it will be a momentary omission."

Seeing that Ling Budo judged the problem in this way, Li Hao was also helpless, but anyway, for him and Cui You, Li Hao had no intention of hiding it.

"I think Lou Niu should have told you about Yan Zhong and Cheng Shi, and now the two of them are being placed in a safe place by me.

And when my men met them, they were being besieged and slain, and the man at the head was Mayon."

When Ling Budo and Cui You heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other in shock, and Cui You said with emotion: "It seems that Mrs. Lou has suppressed people too hard, and he has forced him to do such a bold thing in order to get ahead."

"Whatever the purpose, since he dares to do such a thing, he should think of the consequences of failure." Ling Budo commented, and then asked Li Hao: "Then what are you going to do next, just based on Yan Zhong and Cheng Shide's words, I'm afraid it won't be enough to offend the cow downstairs."

After hearing this, Li Hao did not answer, but asked, "Oh, since this is so,

Then why did Zicheng believe in me so much and think that what I said was true?"

Ling Budo stared at Li Hao twice, didn't answer the question, just said, "Now that Shouchun hasn't been taken yet, I don't have much time to stay here, and your soldiers and horses may control the situation alone?"

Seeing that Ling Budo directly diverted the topic, Li Hao didn't ask any more, after all, Li Hao also thought that Ling Budo believed that it was normal for him to be more convinced, whether it was from relatives or based on realistic considerations.

just replied: "You can rest assured of this, Lou Niu is smart, he can never go to the battlefield, if I deal with such a person, I can still make a mistake, then it is really a strange news in the world."

But now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already on his way here, you have to wait for two more days, and wait until you see the Crown Prince before leaving, anyway, Peng Kun's defeat is decided, and you don't need to be so anxious."

Ling Budo replied, "After all, it's more reassuring to stare at it, if I had known that you were staring at this before, I wouldn't have to come over."

I'll lead the team out early tomorrow morning, and I'll leave the matter here to you to deal with, but remember to keep the movement smaller, so as not to affect the battle situation."

Li Hao naturally agreed directly to this, after all, Li Hao himself had no intention of making a big move, otherwise he would not let the prince come over, but directly dealt with it himself.

However, the prince is actually beneficial, let him personally hear the accusation against Lou Taifu from Lou Niu, and think that the impact on the prince will be much better than Li Hao's transfer.

As for whether Lou Niu will cooperate so much, Li Hao is confident, because after this incident, his own future is already lost.

In such a situation, in order to ensure Lou Yao's future, he will also take the initiative to find a way to drag Mrs. Lou to the funeral together, so that he will no longer be suppressed by Mrs. Lou.

Of course, before that, first of all, you have to completely break Lou Niu's illusion and verify this eucalyptus, and this is really not difficult for Li Hao, after all, Li Hao has opened his eyes in this matter.

There are two breakthroughs in this matter, one is the county Cheng Li Feng, since this guy wants to cooperate with Lou Niu and Ma Rong, he must know the inside story.

It's just that Lou Niu won't necessarily let him live, and he can start faster than Li Hao, because the prison itself is now under his control.

Moreover, for a damned person like Li Feng, who is full of bad water, Li Hao actually doesn't have the heart to save him, so as an alternative, he can take it if he can, and forget it if he can't take it.

Li Hao mainly wants to grasp another breakthrough, that is, his correspondence with Ma Rong and Yan Zhong, who made most people not develop a good habit of burning after reading.

Of course, Ma Rong's main purpose is to prevent Lou Niu, after all, this guy is a person who can achieve his goal and push his confidant and friend to death.

For this kind of person, if Ma Rong is really defenseless, then it is a lake egg.

Early the next morning, Ling Budo led his troops to leave Tongniu County, and Li Hao and Lou Niu went outside the city to see each other off.

On the way back to the county office, Li Hao took the initiative to mention to Lou Niu that the prince had come to Tongniu County to settle down, and discussed with him how to receive him.

After hearing this, Lou Niu had some doubts and asked, "Tongniu County has just experienced Ma Rong's incident, and there are still many soldiers under Ma Rong's command in the city.

Li Hao replied: "Now that Tongniu County is under the governance of Lou Gongzi, it has recovered its former atmosphere, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has the imperial army by his side.

It just so happens that I can also take this opportunity to replace the city defense guards, although I believe that those soldiers will not make trouble under the leadership of Lou Gongzi, but it is not appropriate for them to be in charge of the city defense, Lou Gongzi thinks."

What could Lou Niu say about this, so he had to reply: "General Yuan has considered it, then I will start to arrange for the county government to be cleared out first, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be stationed."

Li Hao smiled when he heard this: "Then it will be troublesome for Yuan Gongzi, it just so happens that I will also send some people to help, after all, there are some specific defense work, and special people still have to be arranged."

Lou Niu replied, "

This is as it should be, the safety of the prince is the most important thing, and these servants under my command really can't do this job."

After confirming the matter, Li Hao returned to the camp and began to send soldiers and horses into the city, not only to be responsible for protection, but also to take the opportunity to find the letters that Ma Rong had hidden.

Because he had already learned from those who had been placed in the city earlier, Ma Rong spent most of his time in the county government after entering the city.

So the most likely, the place where he hid things was in the county office, after all, he wouldn't fake such an important thing.

Of course, Li Hao in other places also let people secretly look for it, but it was only because of the particularity of the county government that he needed to find an additional excuse.

Lou Niu is not completely unsuspicious of this matter, but the matter of the prince's coming is beyond his control, and as long as the prince comes, then his county government must let it out.

After all, there is no royal palace in Tongniu County, so the prince can't be allowed to live in a private house, that is unreasonable.

However, if Lou Niu is completely unable to stop it, it is not, as long as he dares to go out and secretly make a noise about the mutiny of the soldiers and horses in the city, the prince may not come to the danger.

can think of Li Hao in the city, Lou Niu still broke this idea, after all, doing this kind of thing under Li Hao's nose is too risky, and it is too wrong to do more.

Therefore, in the end, Lou Niu was just a person who secretly stared at Li Hao to see if he could find out what was going on.

But Lou Niu didn't understand that the people that Li Hao could send out had all taken years to cultivate carefully, where could the group of rangers he was looking for be able to live.

Within two days, they found the secret grid from the county office, and found the letters collected by Ma Rong from it and sent them to Li Hao.

After getting this, Lou Niu's ending was decided, but Li Hao did not attack in time, but was waiting for the prince to arrive, and secretly sent a message out, asking Yuan Wo to take Cheng Shi and Yan Zhong to meet the prince and rush to Tongniu County together.

Anyway, there are many soldiers and horses accompanying the prince, and it is extremely easy to hide such two people, and it will not be discovered by outsiders.

In addition, the capital also sent people to stare at the bronze mirror that Lou Niu personally engraved to Wang Yanji, after all, Li Hao did not forget that Lou Niu was versatile, so these letters were not written in his usual font.

Therefore, he also needs to compare the bronze mirrors engraved with different fonts to confirm that the letter was written by Lou Niu himself.

The night before the prince arrived, Li Hao sent someone to invite Lou Niu, saying that he had something to discuss with him.

Lou Niu arrived as promised, but found that Li Haozheng was sitting alone in the center, with two guard-like people standing next to him, and there was not even a maid around.

Immediately, there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, especially after getting close, he looked at the figure of one of the guards, and it became more and more familiar, but suddenly he couldn't remember where he saw it, and this uneasiness was even more aggravated.

However, Lou Niu's psychological quality is still okay, and under the pressure of all this in his heart, he sat down as if he was normal, and asked, "I don't know what General Yuan has to say when he came to me today."

Li Hao didn't sell Guan Zi at this time, and said directly: "It's nothing, I just want Lou Gongzi to know the situation and make the right choice."

After speaking, he motioned to Yuan Wo and asked him to show Lou Niu the things, only to see Yuan Wo take out a letter and hand it to Lou Niu in the box he was holding in his hand.

Lou Niu looked at this familiar person, took the letter with doubts, and was stunned.

Because this is the letter he wrote to Yan Zhong, the content of the letter was to persuade him to take the fine copper and his family scroll out of the city, which even involved a specific time and place.

At this point, Lou Niu also remembered why he looked at Yuan Wo with a familiar eye, because this person had indeed seen it himself, and he was the one who rescued Yan Zhong in the first place.

But even so, Lou Niu still felt lucky, and said, "General Yuan showed me what he wanted to say when he showed me this letter, I don't quite understand."

Li Hao smiled when he heard this: "Lou Gongzi is not right like this, at this time, you will look down on me too much."

"I really don't understand what General Yuan is talking about, I should

Where do you dare to put a lake in front of you?" Lou Niu replied.

Li Hao shook his head and said, "It is true that this letter is not in the handwriting you are used to in your daily life, but I heard that on the token of love you gave to your wife, you carved a poem in different handwriting.

You said that the handwriting on this letter will not be the same as the handwriting on the bronze mirror, I have sent someone back to the capital to look for the bronze mirror, and I believe that as long as I compare it, I will be able to see it clearly."

At this point, the luck in Lou Niu's heart was completely broken, and he couldn't help but feel infinite sadness.

Because the brilliant future he had worked so hard to plan for himself finally came to naught, and there was no room to turn over from then on.

But soon Lou Niu sorted out his thoughts and asked aloud: "I think General Yuan has been finding this evidence for a long time, but until the prince came, he specially came to me to tell me, there should be something he wants me to do."

Lou Niu's brain is really good, and he quickly sensed Li Hao's intentions.
