When the first rays of sunlight hit the earth, You Pu, the commander of the Guangling Army, returned to his house in the city.

He had not slept all night, and his steps were a little tired, but his eyes were shining, and he looked a little excited.

Duan Zuozhang, the deputy commander, was invited by the Warp Weaving Department for questioning, and the matter was too big to hide, and there would inevitably be some commotion in the army.

You Pu spent the whole night calming the morale of the army, and by the way, he made some inconspicuous adjustments to the various departments of the city defense, such as transferring several henchmen and cronies to the Ximen Defense Area.

After taking a shower and changing into his regular clothes, he went to the study of the house, where a man dressed as a domestic servant followed.

After the two walked into the study, the servant closed the door, immediately made a cup of tea for You Pu, and said excitedly: "Congratulations, my lord, the big thing will be done!" ”

You Pu sat on the Taishi chair, took the teacup and took a sip, and said with a long sigh of relief: "You can't take it lightly now." After a busy night last night, it was not easy to calm down those soldiers, which shows that Duan Zuozhang's influence should not be underestimated. If the defense of the city was still in his hands, the army might not be able to break through the city. ”

The servant sighed: "It's a pity that the warp weaving department intervened sideways and ruined Lord Ou's plan. If the Gu family had not been exposed, judging from the situation at the time, Duan Zuozhang would most likely have nodded in agreement. ”

Hearing him mention Ou Zhiqiu, a complicated look appeared on You Pu's face, and he said slowly: "I don't know if he can survive those tortures." ”

The servant's eyes darkened when he heard this, and his tone became heavy: "The villain didn't dare to get too close to the yamen of the warp weaving department, but he knew that the lights were bright all night last night, and Li Jin and Lu Shen never came out." Please rest assured, the most important thing at the moment is to master the city defense, and at the same time gather the people in the city, as long as the army arrives, the situation can be reversed, and then Lord Ou can be rescued from the Warp Weaving Division, and the spies of Nanqi can be killed by chance. ”

You Pu changed his rough image in front of Lu Shen yesterday, and said cautiously: "Don't worry about the city defense, now that Duan Zuozhang is not here, others can only follow my orders." The warp weaving department should not be underestimated, although Lu Jiazi is young but very sophisticated, he still can't be careless and let everyone else be careful. ”

The servants hurriedly responded.

You Pu said again: "Order Li San to go to the town in the west and tell the people waiting there that Guangling is ready, and if the army breaks through the Wangmei Ancient Road, it can go straight to this side and quickly break through." ”

The servant's eyes were slightly red at this moment, and he said with emotion: "The villain understands. After eight years of indulging, adults can finally see the light of day, which can be described as mercy from God. This time to capture Huaizhou, the adults no longer have to live this kind of fearful life, the court will inevitably have a reward, congratulations, congratulations! ”

Listening to his sincere words, You Pu couldn't help but think of his family who lived in the Northland, the king who treated him like a master and a father, and remembered the hard years that had lurked over the years......

He couldn't help but sigh and said softly: "Now is not the time to celebrate, the more this last moment, the more cautious you must be. Let's go down and do something, I'll rest for half an hour and then adjust the city defenses. ”

"Yes."

When the servant saw that he had closed his eyes, he crept out of the study.

……

"Wow-"

A basin of cold water was poured on his head, and Ou Zhiqiu, who had been tortured for a long time and had fallen asleep for less than half an hour, was suddenly woken up.

He let out a low and painful moan, looked up at Lu Shen, who was sitting opposite him with a calm expression, and asked astringently after a while, "What time is it?" ”

Lu Shen replied: "About three minutes. ”

Ou Zhiqiu only felt that his mouth was full of fishy smell, and he turned his head and spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

"Get him a chair, put a table, and unshackle his hands."

Lu Shen looked at the conspicuous blood stains on his body and commanded quietly.

The two spies quickly made all this, brought a dish and a meal, and put it on the table in front of Ou Zhiqiu.

They stepped back with their food boxes in their hands, and the room fell silent.

Ou Zhiqiu looked indifferently, he noticed that Lu Shen was also eating the same meal in front of him, and couldn't help but sneer: "These tricks are meaningless. ”

"Su Jianxiao once said to me that the most important thing for people is to fill their stomachs, and if you are hungry, it is easy to make trouble, and I agree with this sentence." Lu Shen picked up the chopsticks, swallowed the food unhurriedly, and said simply and directly: "It's time for lunch, if you really don't want to eat, just leave it alone." ”

Ou Zhiqiu has experienced too many ups and downs in his life, and although the torture of the warp weaving department made him extremely painful, he was not so bad that he could not lose his heart.

He stretched out his slightly trembling right hand and grabbed the chopsticks, and then took small bites.

Lu Shen was very fast, and after a while, he solved his lunch, took a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said, "Brother Ou's position in the prosecutor's hall is not low, right?" ”

Ou Zhiqiu endured the pain on his body and ate, and the warp weaving department had good wound medicine, but these medicines only saved his life, but did not alleviate his pain.

He didn't seem to hear Lu Shen's words, and he lowered his head to eat without saying a word.

Lu Shen was unimpressed, and continued: "I heard that the royal servant is in a good way, and the people brought out by his hands are extremely loyal. Brother Ou can command the hundreds of people placed in Huaizhou by the Prosecutor's Office, and he must be a confidant that Wang Shizheng values very much, no wonder he will hand over such an important task to you. ”

Ou Zhiqiu asked vaguely, "What task?" ”

Lu Shen said: "As an internal response, cooperate with a strange army to capture Guangling City." ”

There was a momentary pause in Ou Zhiqiu's movements, and then he returned to normal.

Lu Shen took in his reaction and said slowly: "This riddle is not difficult to guess, otherwise why would you let the Gu family father and son persuade Duan Zuozhang?" To be honest, I somewhat admire Wang Shizheng's patience, this plan will not be completed overnight, and it will take at least a few years to see results. ”

Ou Zhiqiu put down his chopsticks, raised his eyes to look directly at the young man opposite, and frowned slightly: "What do you want to say?" ”

Lu Shen smiled lightly: "Now that you are in prison, and the hidden procuratorate in the city has no backbone, can they really meticulously carry out your plan?" I know you have other plans, but many things in this world can't keep up with the rapid changes, and one flaw can lead to a losing game. Even if Brother Ou is Wang Shizheng's confidant, if he messes up the plan he has been planning for many years, it will be difficult to have a good end. ”

Ou Zhiqiu gradually tasted the deep meaning of his words, and couldn't help but feel a touch of absurdity in his heart.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if looking at an idiot: "Are you trying to persuade me?" ”

Lu Shen nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Ou Zhiqiu leaned on the back of the chair and said leisurely: "Actually, you might as well return to my court." ”

Lu Shen didn't answer, and pointed to the scars on his body.

Ou Zhiqiu looked down, he was indeed very embarrassed, but his tone was still arrogant: "The battle of Huaizhou is a foregone conclusion, or it won't be long before this place becomes the territory of our dynasty." Your Lu family has been rooted here for generations, even if you can escape to Jiangnan, you have to start over, and it is very likely that someone will knock your bones and suck the marrow. ”

Lu Shen listened patiently, as if he was thinking about the truth of these words.

Seeing this, Ou Zhiqiu continued: "Instead of rushing to the south, it is better to return to our dynasty, in fact, this is a better way out. Our attack on Huaizhou is not to scorch this place, so it will not massacre civilians, but will settle down as soon as possible. In that situation, a local squire like your Lu family can play a big role. ”

"It makes sense."

Lu Shen smiled, then shook his head and said, "But I have calculated it, and none of you have any chance of winning." ”

Ou Zhiqiu knew that the other party was trying to talk about it, this kind of method was really not clever, if he didn't want to mislead this young man and let him do things according to his own ideas, he wouldn't have bothered with this kind of topic at all.

Seeing that he was silent, Lu Shen had a plan in his heart, and then said very plainly: "If I guessed correctly, it is not a false trick for you to drag out the water, but this is not your only choice." In other words, Duan Zuozhang is your first choice, after all, he has a lot of prestige in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Guangling Army, and he can completely change the attitude of the four thousand defenders in the city by himself. ”

Ou Zhiqiu looked at him expressionlessly.

Lu Shen said: "In addition to Duan Zuozhang, you must prepare a second set of plans to ensure that you can cooperate with the Yan army to capture Guangling in a very short time. In this way, the candidate for this internal candidate is in a very small range. I have a guess, I wonder if Brother Ou wants to hear it? ”

Ou Zhiqiu suddenly smiled and said lightly: "Let's hear it." ”

Lu Shen also smiled, and said lightly: "Captain of the Guangling Army, You Pu." ”

If it weren't for the early warning in his heart, Ou Zhiqiu would definitely show his flaws at this moment, and even so, he was so engrossed in controlling his facial expressions.

After a dead silence, Ou Zhiqiu suddenly asked an irrelevant and puzzling question: "Who are you?" ”

Lu Shen looked calm, and said unhurriedly: "My name is Lu Shen, just a nobody. ”
