In the twenty-second year of the Great Qin Chonghuang, on the fifth day of the third month, the desolate wolf was in Tianchi City. After discussing for nearly an hour, Tuoba Har bowed down and retreated, slowly paced out of the main hall, accompanied by two attendants, and returned to his residence in the palace - in fact, according to the law, Tuobhar, who was no longer a prisoner, should move out of the palace from now on, but if even the new king Tuoba Zhulu acquiesced to this matter, how many of the rest of the civil and military officials dared to offend the powerful Tuobhar because of this matter?

What's more, maybe in a few days, this place will once again become the new residence of Tubahar...... Of course, this was a conspiracy between Tuoba and Tuobhar, and the rest were kept in the dark.

Speaking of which, after returning to his residence, Tuobhar withdrew from his attendants and walked into the bedroom alone.

Tuobhar's bedroom, with only a bed and a set of tables and chairs, is very simple and simple, making people a little hard to believe that this is the bedroom of the desolate wolf.

I saw Tuobhar walk over and open the window in front of the landlord, he looked at the sky, and whispered to himself: "It's going to rain...... " After speaking, he stood in the room with his back to the window, standing upright, bowing his head and saying nothing, his eyes lowered, and his attitude was very respectful.

It seems that something is waiting for...... A moment later, a voice rang out from behind Tuobhar: "You're back?" When Tuobhar heard this sudden voice, he did not feel alarmed, but immediately turned around, bowed down and hugged his fists, and said, "Hal has seen Mr. "If anyone else saw this, they would be surprised to close their mouths - in the wild wolf, except for the wolf king, no one is qualified to accept the status

The courtesy of Tuobhar, the mainstay of the "Swallowing River" faction, and Tuobhar is a well-known unruly person in China, such etiquette, except for the wolf king, no one can afford it.

But at this moment, Tuoba Zhulu was resting in the main hall, which was called by Tuoba Har

Where is the "sir" person sacred? I saw that on the chair opposite Tuobhar, I don't know when there was already a person sitting upright, this person was dressed in a coarse cloth robe in the style of the Central Plains, and he was wearing a red mask on his face, but there was a mysterious pattern painted on the mask - it was a pair of hands, the left hand was empty, and the right hand was empty, which was very strange.

The mask blocked the man's face, and he could only be judged by the few strands of black and white hair on his sideburns, which showed that the man was not young.

I saw this Tuobhar's mouth

"Sir" generously accepted Tuobahar's salute, and then said lightly: "Tuobahar, are you still satisfied with the current situation?" Tuoba Har bowed more respectfully, but the ecstasy in his eyes couldn't be suppressed, and he said in a low voice: "Tuoba Zhulu has decided to personally enter Great Qin to assassinate Qin Zheng'an. "That

"Sir" nodded and replied simply, "Well, this was to be expected." Tuobhar praised him unabashedly: "Sir is indeed like a god, you have never seen my nephew once, but you can guess his actions exactly as well, I don't let him go to war, he is really like thunder; And when I explained, he was annoyed; When I offered to lead my troops to attack the Yumen Pass alone, he immediately stopped it; And when I talked about assassination intentionally or unintentionally, he really offered to go to Daqin to assassinate him in person...... Even if he secretly ordered me to plan and conceal this for him, sir, you can calculate it in advance, and it is amazing! Tuoba Har was extremely impressed, and the five bodies threw themselves to the ground...... "That."

"Sir" Hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "Although your nephew's martial arts talent is rare in a hundred years, and his roots and bones are rare in the world, but after all, a young man is a young man, and his heart is probably like this, what is the great thing to be able to count what he has done?" Tuobhar said: "Sir, what he said is not right, if you can't be called great, then how many people in this world can deserve this honor?" What's more, in the matter of the capital, you didn't take action yourself, but you still ...... "That."

"Sir" suddenly spoke, interrupting Tuobahar's words, and he asked, "Tuobahar, did you come to me late at night so that I could come here to listen to you say all this flattering words?" I'm working with you for the common good of you and me, not for your useless words. If you have anything to do, just say it. Tuoba Har was not angry because of the other party's interruption, but said: "Sir is really a man of God, knowing that Hal is hesitating at the moment, please give me some guidance." "That

"Sir" nodded and said, "Well, you say, something is bothering you." Tuobhar bowed down and said, "Sir, do you know about my wolf's relics?" "That

"Sir" said: "Is it the right tooth that has been passed down for thousands of years and represents the authority of the wolf king?" Tuobhar replied, "Yes." The whereabouts of the wolf's fangs are already known. "That

"Sir" said, "It's there for Tuoba to chase the deer, right?" Tuobhar said, "Yes, when he took out his wolf teeth today, he really scared me. This ...... "that."

"Sir" did not continue with his words, but instead asked, "Tuobhar, what do you think you have done today?" When Tuobhar heard this question, he was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he replied cautiously: "I think, it should be not bad, right?" "That

"Sir" snorted coldly and said:

"I'm afraid you think it's pretty good, right?" Tuobhar bowed his head and was silent, which was equivalent to acquiescence. that

"Sir" saw that he did not answer, so he continued: "But you are wrong, very wrong. Tuobhar looked up in disbelief - after all, all his plans had been achieved today, and he felt seamless to himself, but

How could he not be surprised that "sir" said he was very wrong? that

"Sir" continued: "You have four ways to do today's affairs, and you are very clumsy. ”

"The first thing is to order Ashinaan and Wukangshi to quarrel in the court." Tuoba Har was puzzled: "Sir, I ordered the two of them to quarrel, just to make a show for Tuoba Zhulu, so that Tuoba Zhulu will lose his judgment, get closer to our 'swallowing river' faction, and deepen his hatred for the people of the Central Plains." Now it seems that the goal has been achieved, why did the gentleman say this? "That

"Sir" did not answer, but asked, "You wild wolves, apart from martial arts, do you have any strategists?" Tuoba Har replied: "Of course there is, the left and right Sima, the left and right prime ministers, these four people are all scheming, especially the right prime minister Nalan Yuanji, who is known as the 'first strategist of the wild wolf', which is enough to see his resourcefulness, but it is a pity that he and Zuo Sima Dongcheng are not people from my 'swallowing the river' faction, and it is really a pity to teach me." Hey...... "That."

When "Sir" heard this, he said: "You have used undeniable conditions to win over the Ashina of their faction, which is of course a great help to the 'Swallowing River' faction. ”

But, "That."

"Sir" changed his words:

"You also said just now, you are not short of strategists, you ordered Ashinaan, who has always been loyal and capable in the past, to speak for Daqin when everyone heard the news of Tuoba Zhi's death and the crowd was excited, and arranged for Wukang to quarrel with him, which will naturally make many ignorant people hate the Central Plains even more, and turn to support your 'swallowing the river' faction, but how alert is Nalan Yuanji? He must have sensed that something was wrong and would have seen your plan right away. And he will also tell the people around him the problems he finds as soon as possible. Tuobhar said:

"Sir, it's not a big deal, is it? What if Nalan Lao'er knew that Ashinaan was being co-opted? Now among the eight clans, the Tuoba family, the Helian family, the Ashina clan and the Wu clan are all my people; The Huyan family has been destroyed; The Yuwen clan, as always, is only loyal to the wolf king; There are only the Nalan clan and the Dong family left in their faction, and they are afraid that they will be able to make any waves? "That

"Sir" says:

"Then why did you come to me?" Tuobhar said without thinking:

"Naturally, the wolf's tooth representing the royal power fell into the hands of Tuoba Chalu, which is ...... again" Suddenly, Tuoba Har stopped talking, because he already knew that

The meaning of "sir" is that he can not be afraid of the wisdom of Nalan Yuanji, or he can not be afraid of the authority of the Dong family, but he must be afraid of one thing, that is, the wolf tooth in the hands of Tuoba Zhulu, the wolf tooth that represents the royal power, military power and the people's heart.

"Sir, I mean, if Nalan Lao'er tells Tuoba Zhulu about this......," Tuoba Har said with a panicked expression.

"Not bad," that's it

"Sir" said lightly:

"So after the court meeting is over, I will send someone to monitor Nalan Yuanji, and as long as there is the slightest change, I will reply as soon as possible." Tuoba Hal breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his fists and said: "Thanks to Mr. everything, the enemy plane is expected to be first, and all arrangements are in place, otherwise Hal is afraid that it will make a big mistake." Just now Mr. said four points, and please tell me the remaining three points. "That

"Sir" nodded his head when he heard this, and continued:

"As for the second point - at the time of today's court meeting, you have repeatedly robbed Bai Tuoba and chased the deer, and your attitude is very arrogant, with a winning ticket in your hands, and you are fearless."

Actually, "That."

"Sir" continued:

"This matter is understandable, after all, you have fulfilled your mind in the court today - let Tuoba completely lose his mind and want to seek revenge against Daqin. Then when he leaves, according to the plan, you will welcome back Tuoba Zhi's body and get the wolf crown inlaid with wolf teeth, so that you have the last words of the new wolf king Tuoba to chase the deer to let you inherit the throne, and you have the right tooth of the wolf relic, and the qualifications in the court are unmatched, and the throne is naturally within reach. Then your arrogance and rudeness today are nothing. ”

"But we did a lot of calculations, but we didn't calculate that Tuoba Zhi actually loved Tuoba Zhulu so much, and he was willing to hand over his right tooth to him, and our previous plan was almost completely broken, then your attitude towards Tuoba Zhulu in the court during the day today buried a hidden danger, and the moment he took out his right tooth, it almost caused a big disaster." Tuobhar nodded and agreed: "Yes, after retreating from the court today, he suddenly took out his right tooth and almost scared me half to death...... That

"Yes," said the "Sir," said you, "that is your third mistake. Tuobhar looked at it with a sincere look in his eyes

"Sir," he said, "Sir, please." "That

"Sir" said, "Your third mistake is that after seeing the wolf's tooth that should not have appeared here, you did not control your heart, and your attitude suddenly changed drastically, from arrogance to obedience, and arrogance to loyalty. "That

"Sir" saw that Hal did not answer, but only lowered his head silently, and continued: "And the fourth point is even more deadly, you just bowed and knelt three times in order to show your loyalty in the middle of the conversation with Tuoba Zhulu, you yourself must have thought that you were covering up seamlessly, and deceived Tuoba Zhulu around, right?" ”

"But if you think about the daytime court meeting, all the officials knelt down to you to be independent, repeatedly interrupted his words, and even overstepped the rules and scolded the officials in public for being quiet, what a king's law? I'm afraid that those officials who can't hear your conversation clearly when they stand a little farther away will mistakenly think that you are the wolf king just by looking at the posture. ”

"But after you saw the wolf's fangs, you were in a mess, and you relied on blind expressions of loyalty to hide your panic, kowtowing until the skin broke and bleed, hehe...... You thought this was a big show, but you don't know, because of the huge disparity in your attitude, even a young man like Tuoba Zhulu can feel your strangeness, you must know that once this idea in his heart is confirmed, with his identity as the wolf king, it is enough to completely subvert all our plans, and even fall into the point of no return, I can't say that the Huyan family that was destroyed a few years ago is the end of your Tuobhar! When Tuobhar heard this, his face was pale, cold sweat was pouring down his forehead, and he was afraid for a while, and his fear was beyond words.

that

"Sir" sighed and said: "Tuoba Har, you are ambitious, ruthless enough, and vicious enough, you can be regarded as a character, which is why we cooperate with you, but you have never been able to become a hero like Liu Gaozu and Emperor Wei Wu in ancient times in the Central Plains, do you know where you are worse than them?" Tuobhar clasped his fists and said, "I hope Mr. will give you some advice." "That

"Sir" said, "Hmm...... Actually, I know that you hate Daqin, and even the people of the Central Plains, but the faction in your country that is contrary to your political views, that is, Nalan Yuanji and Dong Cheng, does have some insights in their concepts. For example, they say that the wild wolf should learn the wisdom and thinking of the Central Plains people, you have always scoffed at this before, but if you think about it, not to mention that more than ten years ago, Nalan Linglong assisted Tuoba Zhi to establish his prestige and imprisoned the position of the wolf king, just say that in the two years of the Qin Famine War, which one won the battle, and it was not Nalan Yuanji and these strategists who gave advice in the rear? Are their stratagems and scheming all cut with sabers? Or shot with a bow and arrow? Didn't they all learn from the Central Plains......

"Then again, if you want to become a hero, there is one thing you need the most - the city. That is, the ability to be moody and invisible, and a calm heart. ”

"Just imagine, if you order Ashnaan to openly rebel after getting the wolf's fangs and forcing Tuoba to chase the deer, how clever is Ren Nanlan Yuanji, and what can he do when the general situation is decided? At that time, even if you were a hundred, ten thousand times more arrogant than you are today, who could threaten you? At that time, even if Tuoba went to Daqin and was lucky enough not to die, coming back was just a share of what you wantonly handled. Tuoba Har bowed slightly and said, "Sir's teachings, Hal must keep in mind." "That

"Sir" nodded, took a wad of things from his bosom, and handed it to Tuobhar. Tuobhar took the pile and asked, "Sir, what is this?" ”

"Evidence," that

"Sir" explained: "Evidence that the Nalan family and the Dong family 'conspired against the enemy'. I made a special trip to find someone to stamp all the relevant seals except for the Ministry of War and the Jade Seal. But, you remember, the city, the city. Don't think that with this thing, you can easily destroy the Nalan family and the Dong family, until you have to do it or when you are sure of victory, don't use it easily, otherwise there will be trouble! Tuoba Har hurriedly put this pile of things in his arms, and he was pleasantly surprised, and couldn't help but say: "Sir, you give such a great gift to Hal, and Hal really doesn't know how to repay it......

"Iron Wolf Ride." that

"Sir" said quietly: "There are a total of one hundred and fifty people on the wild wolf iron wolf horse, thirty of them died in the capital, and I want all the remaining one hundred and twenty people, are you willing to make this deal?" Tuobhar's heart flashed, and he thought to himself: "This evidence of the Nalan family and the Dong family's 'conspiracy against the enemy' is in hand, as long as I am well prepared, I can control the power of the court at any time and become the wolf king, at that time, the army of 200,000 is in hand, why is it difficult to form such a personal guard?" What's more, these dead soldiers only serve Tuoba Zhi, and even Nalan Linglong and Tuoba Zhulu may not be transferred, leaving me only afraid that not only can they not serve me, but they will become a burden, so what......" I saw Tuoba Har show embarrassment, and said: "Sir, it's not that Hal is stingy, it's just that the Iron Wolf Rider is only loyal to Tuoba Zhi, and even before Tuoba Zhulu becomes the Wolf King, he has no right to transfer, Mr. This deal, Hal is just a mere prince, I'm afraid I can't ...... that."

"Sir" glanced up at him and said, "You don't have to beat around the bush, I know you want that right tooth to be the wolf king." You don't have to worry about this, I said that I would help you become the wolf king, so naturally I won't break my word. Tuobhar's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "What do you mean, sir?" "That

"Sir" nodded and said, "Let Qin Zheng'an and Jiang Ping do it, it's better to do it yourself." "And then, that

"Sir" raised his head slightly and said slowly: "Hmm...... Tired. Tuoba Har clasped his fists again and said respectfully: "Hal sends off Mr. Hal." When he looked up again, he saw that the room was empty

"Sir" has quietly departed. Tuobhar walked to the window, heard a murmuring sound, and looked up to see that it had rained in the cloudy sky for a long time.

He closed the window and stood by it for a long time. The rain outside the window was getting heavier. ………
