A restaurant on the street, a wooden table, a few plates of stir-fried vegetables, and two pots of shochu.

The rain on the street is swaying with the wind, and layers of misty fog are swinging.

Su Buqing ate and drank unhurriedly, and seemed to have a decent appetite, and it seemed that he was not affected by Gu Yong's death.

Lu Shen would not superficially think that the other party was pretending to be in front of him, he could only say that a person like Su Buqing, who was as strong as a stone, would be forcibly erased by him habitually, even if he would be weak for a moment.

But he was a little ignorant and didn't open which pot to mention: "The adult has actually been giving Gu Yong a chance, right?" ”

Su Buqing swallowed the green vegetables in his mouth, then put down the chopsticks, and motioned to Lu Shen with his eyes to continue.

"The adults were already suspicious of Gu Yong when Zhang Xi died, but they still listened to his advice to investigate the Lu family. If it was said that the adults just wanted to see what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, after the junior told the truth, the adults still decided to let Gu Yong preside over the overall situation, and left Guangling without hesitation. ”

Lu Shen didn't have nothing to do, he just wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to get to know the man in front of him.

After all, the other party may become his immediate boss.

Su Buqing said indifferently: "This doesn't prove your guess. ”

Lu Shen said: "However, after the adults left Guangling, they asked people to appear in the city with Sun Yu, which is the most obvious hint. If the adults didn't doubt Gu Yong, they would naturally let him do it, but the truth was just the opposite. Gu Yong is very familiar with the style of acting adults, how can he not see the deep meaning behind this move? ”

Su Buqing said leisurely: "It is your proposal to use Sun Yu as bait. ”

Lu Shen smiled bitterly and said, "It's clear that the adults have thought about letting the juniors take the blame." ”

A faint smile appeared on Su Buqing's face, and he said meaningfully: "Don't worry, I have never done anything to make my subordinates guilty." ”

Lu Shen saw that he diverted the topic, so he didn't ask in a daze, anyway, he had already got the answer.

As mentioned before, Su Buqing did not dismantle the plan of the Beiyan Prosecutor's Office to divert the tiger from the mountain, and let Sun Yu swagger through the market after leaving Guangling, almost explicitly telling Gu Yong that his identity had been exposed.

If Gu Yong's desire to survive is very strong, then he should give up everything and try to escape back to Beiyan.

Thinking of this, Lu Shen said thoughtfully: "The imagination of adults and juniors is not the same. ”

Su Buqing said disapprerovingly: "In the eyes of many people, Su is ruthless, ruthless and unjust, as long as the Son of Heaven has a will, even his own blood relatives dare to kill." In fact, I would love to hear such speculations, because if people have no worries, they have no weaknesses, and others will only be afraid of you. That's enough, I don't need anyone's senseless respect. ”

This should be the so-called lonely minister, right?

Lu Shen thought to himself that he couldn't do this, and he didn't want to be such a person.

Su Buqing continued: "I didn't think about giving Gu Yong a chance to abscond, maybe I had such an idea in my heart, but I don't want to admit it, isn't it hypocritical? ”

Lu Shen shook his head and said, "Everyone has a dilemma. ”

Su Buqing smiled faintly, and changed his words again: "In your opinion, who wins and who loses in this contest confined to Guangling City?" ”

The sound of rain suddenly entered my ears, like the sound of horns.

Lu Shen said slowly: "Naturally, the adults won." ”

Su Buqing said: "No, it's the Great Qi victory." ”

The difference of one word shows that the two people look at the problem from different angles.

Su Buqing stopped at the point, and said slowly: "From the bright side, the Pseudo-Yan Inspectorate lost Gu Yong and Zhang Xi, the two secret sons in a critical position this time, the secret strongholds of Taixing Mansion and Guangling Mansion were uprooted, and more than 100 people died or were captured, which can be described as an out-and-out fiasco." ”

Lu Shen echoed: "After this battle, the pseudo-Yan will not have the power to stir up the wind and clouds in Huaizhou for several years, congratulations to my lord." ”

"The congratulations were perfunctory."

Su Buqing raised his hand and nodded at him, then asked with a smile: "So do you think that the person in charge of Huaizhou sent by the Pseudo-Yan Prosecutor's Office, who has been fighting with me for several years, is actually a fool who cares about his head?" ”

"Of course not."

"What would he do if you were him?"

Lu Shen picked up the wine cup and drank half a glass, and under Su Buqing's smiling gaze, he said calmly: "If the junior is in this person's position, after the Taixing Mansion stronghold is investigated and Zhang Xi is exposed, the junior will let the clues be cut off, and at the same time let all the secret agents enter the latent state, and wait for the limelight to pass before making a decision." ”

Su Buqing played with the cheap wine cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's not easy to finally hear the truth from your mouth." ”

Lu Shen muttered: "My lord's words have tormented the younger generation. ”

The other party has made his words clear to this extent, and it is tantamount to pretending to be stupid and clumsy again.

Neither Zhang Xi nor Gu Yong were obviously the chief officials sent to Huaizhou by the Northern Yan Prosecutor's Office, because they had the status of an official in the Southern Qi Dynasty, and they were greatly involved and restricted, and they lacked enough freedom and space to operate everything in secret.

The situation plotted by the mastermind behind the scenes seems complicated, but it is not destructive to the Warp Weaving Division, even if Su Buqing is misled by it and focuses on the Lu family, it is only time wasted.

However, the Beiyan Prosecutor's Office took great risks, and in the end, it did pay a very heavy price.

It's a loss-making deal no matter how you look at it, unlike what a mature spy leader would do.

Since the other party insists on doing this, there must be something else.

Just when Lu Shen was hesitating whether to tell him honestly, Su Buqing took the initiative to speak: "In this battle in Guangling City, the north side did lose, but it also successfully dragged the warp weaving division here. In the past month or so, my men have been circling around Taixing and Guangling, and the north, especially the border areas, can only maintain the most basic daily inspections, and the intensity has been greatly weakened. ”

Lu Shen was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at the other party and asked, "I don't know when the adults noticed this?" ”

Su Buqing smiled and said, "When you asked Li Chengen to quietly go to Lai'an Mansion." ”

Lu Shen was stunned.

Su Buqing said again: "Or a little further, you told me that the Lu family caravan was searched at Panlong Pass, but the defenders did not find anything abnormal. ”

Lu Shen suddenly felt that he had no appetite.

Seeing this, Su Buqing waved his hand and said gently: "Don't think that I am bullying the small with the big and deliberately showing off in front of you, a young descendant." Lu Shen, I have seen your performance from beginning to end, at least there is no better peer than you in the current Huaizhou Division. You can discover the secret letter of the planting through the strangeness of the guards of Panlong Pass, you can debunk Sun Yu's lies in a moment, and you can be in peace in the yamen of the warp weaving department for more than ten days, which is enough to show that you are a piece of jade. ”

He paused and said approvingly: "The most important thing is that you can always be vigilant, not blinded by my identity, and have a basis for advancing and retreating in such an unfavorable situation, and you can also think of seeking an additional guarantee from the Governor's Mansion, which is not easy." Even at your age, I can't be so thoughtful. ”

Lu Shen smiled bitterly: "My lord's praise." The younger generation doesn't understand, since the adults noticed that something was wrong half a month ago, why are they still willing to stay in Guangling to accompany each other to act? ”

Su Buqing poured himself a full bottle of wine, and said calmly: "The other party wants to trap the warp weaving department in Guangling, and the only one who is trying to do it is the border pass." If you asked Li Chengen to come to Anfu to find Governor Xiao Dadu, you must have discovered the strangeness of Panlong Pass. In this way, the truth is self-evident, and what Pseudo Yan really is plotting is Panlong Pass. ”

He raised his glass, and both of them drank it down.

Su Buqing looked at Lu Shen's curious expression and said with a smile: "He has to pick a more terrifying opponent, why don't I do it?" ”

Lu Shen suddenly said: "Governor Xiao Dadu ......"

Su Buqing said: "In the past few years, I have been inseparable from him, and he has long been bored with it, so he decided to try it differently." It's okay to let Xiao Dadu teach him what is called the way to plan the situation, and I will reluctantly accept the gift from Guangling, wouldn't it be a happy situation? ”

Lu Shen suddenly brightened up, and said respectfully: "Be taught." ”

Su Buqing turned his head to look at the lonely long street, and said, "These are nothing, after a lot of experience, you will naturally understand." Today I will take you around the world, I have seen blood and death, I have seen the unwillingness and helplessness, I hope you can understand what the warp weaving department is doing. ”

Lu Shen's expression gradually became solemn, and he could understand the meaning of the other party's words.

Su Buqing didn't make any fuss, stared at Lu Shen's eyes and said: "Thirteen years ago, the Yuanjia Change, Heluo fell and the first emperor died, nearly half of the land of Daqi fell, and the Jiangbei territory fell under the hooves of the Jing Dynasty's iron horsemen, and countless people lived in dire straits. Later, the Jing Dynasty pretended to build the puppet Yan court, ostensibly returning to the north, but in fact firmly controlled the military power and key yamen of the puppet Yan. ”

Lu Shen listened quietly.

Su Buqing said in a deep voice: "Jing Dynasty is like an insatiable beast, constantly extracting the bones and blood of tens of millions of Qi people in the north through the pseudo-Yan Imperial Court, and using it to nourish their invincible iron horses, and the evil deeds committed are too numerous to mention. Helping the imperial court recover its homeland and save the people is the duty of the warp weaving department. ”

"Do you understand?"

Lu Shen nodded solemnly and said, "The juniors understand. ”

Su Buqing was pleased, then stood up and said: "Next, I will deal with the end of these things, make some adjustments to the Huaizhou Division, and then go back to the capital, so you still have two or three months to consider whether to join the Warp Weaving Division." ”

Lu Shen responded softly, got up and left the table.

Su Buqing smiled gently when he walked up to him: "Don't worry, think clearly before making a decision." ”

At the time of separation, Lu Shen suddenly asked, "Master Su, the junior has a reluctant request. ”

Su Buqing stopped and turned his head to look.

Lu Shen said: "After the results of the border affairs have been obtained, can the younger generations know?" ”

"Yes."

Su Buqing replied concisely, and then walked into the rain curtain surrounded by more than ten Xuanyi people.

Li Chengen came to Lu Shen's side, watched the group of people disappear into the mist with him, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, where are you going next?" ”

Lu Shen slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said with a complicated expression: "Go home." ”
