Cao Zhiping took a sip of hot tea slowly, and then raised his eyes to look at Zhao Shijun.

Seeing his increasingly impatient look, he knew that the time had come, and he was too late.

He knows very well that the other party is not a person of elegance, he can be said to be a reckless and stupid donkey, and he has read all the books to the ass.

"With all due respect, Lord Thorn Shi, at first Cao felt that this matter was very strange, and he couldn't help but savor it, and then he suddenly realized, do you understand?"

Zhao Shijun snorted and said:

"What do you see? Lao Tzu doesn't understand anything, say it quickly, don't delay Lao Tzu drinking and playing with women! ”

Cao Zhiping couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

The person in front of him is like him, he is really a fool.

I don't know how he has guarded Youzhou for more than ten years, and he actually made him a marquis, a lord of assassination, and a prince.

It is said that fools have their own foolish blessings.

Except for a little bit of greed for money and a little trick, it's purely a big rice bucket.

"Behind this, the prince is manipulating, this is the military affairs secretary Xiao Tingsheng deliberately conniving."

"Bandits? What is he trying to do? The longer the war drags on, the greater the cost of the military affairs department, the less money it will make, and the most delayed will be a loss. ”

Zhao Shijun sneered and said.

Cao Zhiping couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and couldn't help but say loudly:

"Lord Thorn, where are they trying to make money? They are looking for your secluded state,

Specifically, it is the entire military power of the Youzhou Army! ”

Zhao Shijun was startled, Huo Di stood up, and the eyes of the two fish bubbles almost fell off.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Lord Assassin Shi, please think about it carefully, wherever Chen Jingnong went, Yu Yumin did not commit any crimes, but he killed the local officials in all directions, and the homes of the rich timber merchants were plundered and plundered, and their military discipline was strict, this is not like what bandits do?"

"Mr. Cao, this Chen Jingnong has always advertised himself as a rebel, claiming to rob the rich and help the poor, this behavior is not strange!" Master Du retorted.

After hearing this, Zhao Shijun also sneered at it, and said:

"Master Du is right, you are nitpicking and scheming."

"Lord Assassin Shi might as well think about it again, as soon as the advance battalion of the forbidden army of the prince entered the Yanshan area, he didn't go to actively suppress the bandits, but first occupied the various fortresses in Yanshan."

"Cao Mou dares to say that once the fortresses in the corners of Yanshan completely fall into the hands of the prince, your Panlong Yunhai and other barracks will be completely cut off."

"Once they are isolated and cut off from the supply of the base, they can only surrender obediently and obey the arrangements of the imperial court, but Lord Thorn Shi is still kept in the dark, because none of the messengers there can come out, and even a bird may not be able to fly."

Cao Zhiping ignored Master Du's troubles, and complained about the news as usual.

After hearing this, Zhao Shijun broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, his fat face immediately changed color, and he said sharply: "This is too bold and reckless." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is impossible for him to do such a thing without faith, because he is a prince, there is no need to risk the condemnation of the world."

"I'm just afraid... I'm afraid that you're jealous, maliciously speculating and stirring up troubled waters, right? ”

Cao Zhiping laughed when he heard this, and said:

"Lord Thorn Shi is too elevated to the younger generation, it is possible to say that I am envious, but jealousy is not enough, the difference between the status of Cao and the prince is 108,000 miles, and it will be difficult to catch up with him if I give me a few lifetimes of time."

"The younger generation is just sincere, and he wants to help his uncle all the way, so as not to be plotted by this prince."

Seeing that Zhao Shijun's face was changing, he continued to take eye medicine and said in a deep voice:

"If Lord Assassin Shi still doesn't believe it, the younger generation has a plan to let my uncle immediately determine whether the prince wants to get involved in the entire Youzhou territory and the military power?"

Zhao Shijun's face had become iron-blue, and his majestic momentum had greatly decreased, and he said after a while:

"You speak, but it doesn't hurt to say."

"Lord Thorn Shi can immediately return to Youzhou Mansion City, and suddenly propose to inspect the two towns of Panlong Yunhai, and ask to take a look at the field, and you can immediately see the reaction of the prince and Yuyang."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiping sighed and went straight to the point:

"Master Assassin Shi, forgive the juniors for their blunt words and even suspicions, Chen Jingnong, the so-called bandit, was originally a bait deliberately released by the prince, and he was actually secretly ordered by the prince to let him change his face and go out of the mountain."

Zhao Shijun was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

"Master Du, immediately notify the guard troops to be ready to go, start on the fifth watch of tomorrow, and return to Youzhou Mansion with my master first."

"Yes!" Master Du arched his hand.

"Nephew Zhipingxian, since you have come to Youzhou in Northern Xinjiang, don't leave for the time being, all food and accommodation can be arranged by Master Du, and I will decide where to go when I return from Panlong Yunhai."

"If what you say is the truth, after the fact, the Marquis will not only reward you, but also reuse you and promote you to a third-grade official position, if it is nonsense, hehe... Just wait and see! ”

The intent is obvious.

Cao Zhiping can't get out of Youzhou anyway.

Of course, since Cao Zhiping dared to come here, he was confident.

Of course, he hopes to develop in Youzhou.

Compared with the place where birds don't poop in the Western Regions, there is also the recklessness of the Turks, the self-righteous poor and sour nobleman, he still likes Zhao Shijun.

One is that he has a friendship with his father Cao Qichang, and the other is that he is Han and easy to communicate with each other.

"The younger generation is here waiting for the success of the assassin Shi and the success of the water."

Cao Zhiping was not flustered, he seemed very confident.

Zhao Shijun snorted angrily and walked out of the reception hall of Chengde Villa.

Master Du followed.

But instead of going back to the main hall to continue drinking and having fun, he arranged for the matters that Lord Assassin Shi had given him.

He specially arranged a guard platoon to find a place to take care of the hateful Cao Zhiping and his entourage.

……

Night falls.

Master Du didn't have the heart to eat dinner, he was like an ant on a hot pot, walking around his room in the villa.

Tomorrow, on the fifth watch, Zhao Shijun will set off back to Youzhou, and then concentrate the escort troops and go straight to the sea of Panlong clouds.

When Chen Jingnong heard this, he would definitely force the capital of Youzhou and force him back to the city.

But in this way, isn't the lie that the bandits were chased and fled into the mountains and forests self-defeating?

Spread the news to Chen Jingnong and asked him not to intercept Zhao Shijun.

But Zhao Shijun, the old fox, really arrived in Panlong Town, and he understood at a glance, because everything over there began to change.

Wang Xingming has reorganized the heavy cavalry of Panlong Town, and as for Zhao Shijun's henchmen, they have all been killed and buried.

No matter how stupid Zhao Shijun is, he will understand what is going on.

This damn Cao Zhiping.

Your Cao Mansion fell into bad luck and stepped down, Cao Qichang lost his authority, and you yourself got out of Anxi.

You don't pick up your tail and be a man, but you dare to run to Youzhou to make trouble?

Master Du couldn't wait to immediately chop that smiling bastard into meat sauce.

But he also knew that if Mo said that he really came forward to do it, even if he showed a little killing intent in front of him, he would inevitably be detected by this guy.

This guy is not a master to be messed with, and he must have a group of strong martial arts guards with him.

What's more, he has a good relationship with the Turks, and it is not difficult to get out.

Unless heavy troops are sent to surround it, the house will be set on fire overnight.

But this can only be done by the order of Lord Shi, who is only ordered to take care of it.

Hire a few charlatans to do it secretly?

But it may not be their opponent.

What to do?

Master Du, who had no idea, was so anxious that he was in a hurry.

He suddenly thought of Master Lin.

Lin Yuqian, the head of the house, has been latent in Yanbei these days, commanding and monitoring Zhao Shijun.

I don't know if it's in the backyard of the yamen of Chengde Villa.

Master Du decided to try his luck.

His luck was good.

As soon as the horse rode to the side gate of the yamen backyard of the villa, the savior fell from the sky.

Lin Yuqian heard the secret whistle announcement, and she appeared in front of him.

"Master!"

As if seeing the backbone, Master Du followed Lin Yuqian to the secret room of the inner hall, and hurriedly told Lin Yuqian everything that happened in the afternoon.

"Cao Qichang's son, Cao Zhiping, the former chief general of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, after he was removed, he didn't clamp his tail and behave, but suddenly paid attention to the changes in Youzhou?"

Lin Yuqian couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

She thought about it for a while, but she couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Cao Qichang and the Cao family are now at the end of the crossbow.

The crown prince removed Cao Qichang from all positions, only retained his title, and returned to the mansion for retirement.

It is rumored that the crown prince originally wanted to kill Cao Qichang to prevent future troubles, but the current emperor Yuanren opposed it, and the obstruction of the queen's mother Cao Feiyan made this matter a soft disposition.

As the saying goes, a tree falls and falls.

Cao Qichang was dismissed and returned to the mansion, and the Yamen of the Five Ministers Cabinet was taken over by the prince's people, including the military hall and the military department, of course.

Cao Zhiping was dismissed from his post, and he took refuge in the Western Regions Turkic Helu, mainly the military intelligence agency of the Western Turkic royal court.

However, his military intelligence agency had just been established, and his sphere of influence was limited to the Western Regions, and Dunhuang could not cross the border. ‘

It has almost no influence on places such as Mobei, Desert South and Northern Xinjiang.

Therefore, the opponent in Lin Yuqian's mind has never had Cao Zhiping's position.

However, he appeared in Youzhou at this juncture.

There is a way that those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come!

It deserves to be taken seriously.

"Liu Jiao, you immediately fly the pigeon to pass the book, contact General Chen Jingnong and Lord Yuyang Xiao respectively, and tell them all the information about this Cao Zhiping."

"Zhao Shijun wants to go to Panlong Town to find out the truth, and suggests that the prince give an order so that General Chen must not stop him, but if he enters, he can't let people go, and even a mouse must not be allowed to escape."

"Hmph, since Zhao Shijun is determined to die early, this princess will fulfill him and tell the prince, my plan is like this..."

Lin Yuqian's face-to-face teaching is appropriate.

Watching Liu Jiao leave, Master Du immediately had a smile on his face, looked at Lin Yuqian with an admiring expression, and said flatteringly:

"Your Excellency, you are such a genius, you have come up with a solution to a problem that you have been thinking about for an entire afternoon, and in such a short time as you have arrived."

"And it kills two birds with one stone, not only to solve the immediate problem, but also to solve it once and for all."

"Hehe..."

Lin Yuqian snorted coldly when she heard this.
