After Shaoling was reprimanded by Taihao, he did not feel ashamed and self-blame in his heart, let alone frustration and loss. It was more of an emotion of anger and dissatisfaction that stirred up in his heart at the moment. He always believed that Taihao was just a common man born in the barren land of the Western Regions, and it was just luck that he could be made an official by the emperor, and he didn't have any real talent. And he was born in a famous family, and he was a champion in the hall, so he was really unwilling to be an entourage to an incompetent person. Taihao repeatedly disturbed Shaoling and Nianyu's alone time, which made Shaoling hate him, but for Nianyu, he must now hold back the anger in his heart, and now he must focus on government affairs, and his private affairs can only be put aside first.

Tai Hao angrily returned to the front hall, and Shao Ling followed as if nothing had happened. She saw some clues, but didn't ask them what was going on. Taihao didn't continue to scold Shaoling, and directly told the reason for inviting him.

"When I arrived in Luyang City, I met Brother Canggu and chatted with him for a long time. Brother Canggu has long known about the rebellion of the thieves such as Yao Fuji and Na Bugan, but now the situation of our Cat Clan's Eastern Empire is troubled and precarious, and it is precarious......" said, Tai Hao paused and continued: "So we can't wait for the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to suppress the rebels, the top priority is to get the military power of Pinghe City first, according to Brother Canggu's arrangement, we will revolt on the third day of March next year and directly take down the traitors, therefore, we must get the military power of Pinghe City before the third day of March." ”

Ju Yu nodded in agreement, and turned her gaze to Tai Hao and Shao Ling. "I don't know much about the war, I just need to listen to the command, and you can discuss the specific strategy."

Shao Ling asked: "How can we ensure that Yao Fuji will not rebel before the third day of the third month of March, and if they start their army earlier, how will we deal with it then?" ”

Tai Hao nodded and said: "Brother Canggu has now become the general of Luyang City, and he is already in charge of the soldiers and horses of Luyang City, he will try his best to suppress them and prevent them from raising troops before the third day of the third month of March." He looked around and continued: "Brother Canggu handed me a roster, which records the names, ages, places of origin, official positions and other information of the ten officials, they are the undercover agents placed by the imperial court in Pinghe City in recent years, and I have kept their names and official positions in mind, and I will meet with them one by one in the next few days." They will be of our use, and they will work with us to suppress the thief. ”

Xuan Yu asked, "It seems that the imperial court has already planned it, so what should we do next?" ”

Tai Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "I must rescue Brother Gusheng first, according to the plan, Daxi is now in prison, right?" ”

Shao Ling nodded and said: "Brother Daxi has successfully entered the prison of Pinghe City, and tomorrow will let the family who faked his death today ask the yamen for his life, just say that the family was not killed by him, and ask the yamen to release him." ”

Tai Hao said: "When Daxi comes back tomorrow, I will know if Brother Gusheng has been locked up there." ”

Tai Hao remembered the scolding of Shao Ling in Nianyu's room just now, and couldn't help but feel nervous. Because at this time, there are still many things that Shaoling needs to do. So he said to Shaoling: "Brother Shaoling, what I said just now was too heavy, don't blame it." “

Shao Ling smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Taihao breathed a sigh of relief. Although what he said just now was aimed at Shaoling, he didn't want to hurt Shaoling. In Taihao's eyes, Shaoling must be the most helpful to him now. He continued to say to Shaoling: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the General's Mansion with Juan Yu first, and meet General Da Shunqu again, General Da Shunqu is the first official on that roster, and then I will find a way to connect with the other officials on that roster." The affairs of the house, as well as the affairs of Onishi, will be arranged by the Shaoling brothers. ”

After hearing this, Shaoling nodded. Shaoling knew very well in his heart that these things must be done, and only when they were done, Taihao could leave with confidence. After all, Taihao has always been in the house, and there are too many factors beyond his control. For example, as long as Taihao is in the mansion, he can't be alone with Miss Nianyu.

"Well, don't worry!" Shaoling responded.

At this time, in the prison of Pinghe City, Master Huiren finished exercising to the dumb body, and Master Huiren suddenly felt very weak, so he continued to meditate cross-legged. Dumb Shan just gained some energy and slowly stood up. At that moment, two jailers came to their cell and shouted, "You have to change places, you can't be locked up here." With that, the two jailers threw the dumb man out.

Seeing this, Onishi hurriedly asked, "Where are you going to take him?" ”

The two jailers ignored Onishi, and Master Huiren slowly opened his eyes and said slowly, "This is going to bring him to 'death row'." ”

Onishi was shocked in his heart, and muttered in a low voice: "What should I do, I must find a way to save him, I must save him." ”

Master Huiren saw him with such a look, so he comforted: "Aren't you going to go out from here tomorrow, don't worry, bring it over now, there will be no danger to your life, you will go out from here tomorrow, and it's not too late to find a way to save him." After saying that, he closed his eyes and rested, and Onishi breathed a sigh of relief.

At noon the next day, a jailer came to Onishi's cell and said to Onishi: "Your kid is very lucky, the drinker you killed yesterday has come back to life, and he went to the yamen early in the morning to ask for his life, and he will no longer pursue the beating with you, and the city lord ordered you to be released directly." After saying that, he wanted to take Onishi out of the cell. Seeing this, Xuanliu next to him hurriedly asked Onishi, "Big brother, can you take me out now?" ”

Onishi glanced at him, signaling that a jailer was there and that he should not continue to speak. The big suit replied, "You wait here, tomorrow at the latest." ”

The jailer said: "What tomorrow, tomorrow, I can tell you, don't finish drinking and go crazy in Pinghe City in the future, and next time, you will have no return!" With that, he took Onishi out.

At this time, Taihao and Jiaoyu had come to the General's Mansion. However, on the gate of the general's mansion, there is a white cloth, and there are spiriting flags next to the door, and two family members are dressed in filial piety clothes and stand on both sides of the gate. Taihao couldn't help but be curious, who passed away in this general's mansion? How could it be so decorative.

Taihao hurriedly asked the gatekeeper, "What's going on?" Why is there a white cloth hanging at the door of the General's Palace? ”

"Lord Hui, General Da Shunqu...... He went west. One of the family members said.

Taihao couldn't help but exclaim: "What? “

Another family member also hurriedly replied: "Last night, the general suddenly fell ill and was carried back to his room. This morning, he was already out of breath, and his family invited Lang Zhong, but he couldn't save him. ”

Tai Hao felt a sadness in his heart, he couldn't believe that General Da Shunqu would leave so suddenly.

"What is the cause of General Da Shunqu's death?" Tai Hao asked eagerly.

The family thought for a while and said, "The little one only knows that it is because of the recurrence of the old disease, and the specific cause of the disease, the little one doesn't know." ”

Tai Hao sighed: "I didn't expect that I couldn't even see the last side of General Da Shunqu." Can I go in and pay my respects? ”

The family Ding glanced at Tai Hao and nodded in agreement: "Of course you can, please come with me!" With that, he led Tai Hao towards the courtyard, and Ju Yu followed him.

After entering the general's mansion, Taihao found that in the general's mansion, white flags were laid everywhere, and the family in the mansion were all dressed in linen and filial piety, and the family took Taihao to the mourning hall that had just been built, only to see a coffin placed in the center of the mourning hall.

Taihao looked at the coffin, and then looked around, and there were relatives of General Da Shunqu kneeling on both sides, and they immediately burst into tears when they saw a mourner coming in. When Taihao saw this scene, his heart became even more sad. He slowly approached the coffin and knelt in front of it, tears glistening in his eyes.

Tai Hao muttered to himself: "General Da Shunqu, you left like this, it is really difficult for the juniors to accept, and the juniors still have important things to ask you for, why did you leave like this." After saying that, I couldn't help crying.

At this time, Xuan Yu reminded softly: "My lord, the general has passed away, don't be too sad. ”

"Hmm." Taihao agreed heavily, and then bowed to the coffin three more times. At this time, a middle-aged man on the side walked up to Tai Hao and whispered to Tai Hao: "Lord Tai Hao, here is the fourth son of General Da Shunqu, please take a step to speak."

"Oh, did the general give me orders when he was dying?" Taihao looked around suspiciously.

Tai Hao followed Da Yuxian out of the mourning hall and arrived at a corner of a house. Da Yuxian looked around, and then whispered to Taihao: "My lord, my father wrote a letter last night and asked me to hand it over to Lord Taihao." As he spoke, he took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Tai Hao.

Tai Hao immediately put the letter into his arms, suddenly thought of something wrong, and hurriedly asked Da Yuxian: "Why did General Da Shunqu write me this letter before he died, how did he know that he would have an accident, and dare to ask Ling Zun why he died?" ”

Da Yuxian responded: "My father entrusted me before he died, I must give this letter to Lord Taihao, because it is ......" Da Yuxian paused here before continuing: "Because, my father's death is indeed very sudden, and the internal reasons are all written in this letter, and I ask you to return to the house and read it carefully." ”

Hearing this, Taihao nodded. He said goodbye to Da Yuxian and left the general's mansion with Ju Yu.

As soon as I walked out of the gate of the General's Mansion, I saw Yao Fuji's official sedan chair coming slowly, presumably also to mourn General Shunqu. Taihao didn't stay, he didn't want to communicate with Yao Fuji anymore at this time, and left in a hurry.

Leaving the General's Mansion, just after walking a short distance, Tai Hao found that he was being followed behind him, and there was a sneaky man who had been following them since they left the Deputy General's Mansion. Tai Hao hurriedly lowered his voice to Xuan Yu and said, "We are being followed, I will turn into an alley later, you go around from behind and catch him." When she heard this, she immediately nodded knowingly, and the two of them walked along the street together. Coming to a secluded place, Taihao turned left into an alley, and Jiayu walked to the right, but the man who followed them chose to continue following Taihao into the alley. Ju Yu hurriedly turned around and followed the man, not long after entering the alley, the man could no longer see Tai Hao's figure, and when he was wondering where Tai Hao had gone, Ju Yu pulled out his sword from his waist and put it against the man's neck.

At this time, Taihao walked out, stood in front of the man, and said sharply: "Who are you, why have you been following this official?" ”
