Chapter 108: Betraying the Servants

In Jianye City, in the illusion that everything is going on as usual, in fact, a storm is forming.

Prime Minister Li Cheng has increased manpower to search for the traces of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Prime Minister Li Cheng, who knows that time is running out, is in a hurry at this time.

Listening to the secret spy report sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, was already rushing back quickly.

This news made Prime Minister Li Cheng's desire to get all the command of the forbidden army more urgent, after all, a strong enemy was coming, if he couldn't integrate the strength of all the forbidden army, then Jianye City and even the throne would be threatened by Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei.

Prime Minister Li Cheng is very sober about this, after all, a person who has been in the center of power for so many years, if he is Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, has such a good opportunity to replace him, why not do it, not to mention that it is the supreme throne.

As for himself, the prime minister who has controlled the court for many years, I am afraid that when the general of Pingbei Tuoba Jun becomes the emperor, his fate can be imagined.

So Prime Minister Li Cheng is now ready for two things, one is to really find Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, and then force him to hand over the command of the forbidden army, and the other is to buy off a general under Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, and then fake the warrant of Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, and transfer the 20,000 forbidden soldiers to obey the orders of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Of course, for the second method, or the first one, there is no worries, but it's a pity that Lord Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, can't find it, but it is certain that Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, must still be in Jianye City, there is no doubt about this.

Just when Prime Minister Li Cheng was working hard to seize the command of the forbidden army, Shen Lingxi in the mansion of the general of Pingbei also got the news that Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, would return to Jianye City with his troops one day later.

This news is not good news for Shen Lingxi, after all, Prime Minister Li Cheng has not yet fully obtained the command of the forbidden army, and once the Pingbei General Tuoba Jun returns to Jianye, the Prime Minister Li Cheng is basically not an opponent, so that the Pingbei General Tuoba Jun will not be able to successfully seize the throne and become the emperor of the Xuanwu Kingdom.

This is the result that Shen Lingxi does not want to see, and the purpose of maximizing the consumption of Xuanwu domestic fighting cannot be achieved.

So after getting the news, Shen Lingxi hurriedly left the Pingbei General's Mansion and walked towards the tea stall that had made an appointment with Lin Feng and Cheap Niang.

Now is a critical time, so Shen Lingxi can't care about it so much.

A person came to the tea stall in the west of the city and sat down, only ordered a pot of tea and a few pastries, Shen Lingxi didn't wait too long, he saw Lin Feng and Lian Niang coming, the two of them were like husband and wife, and they came to this tea stall hand in hand to sit down.

also ordered a pot of tea and a few pastries, and turned his back to the place where Shen Lingxi was sitting and pretended to chat.

Shen Lingxi waited for the shopkeeper to walk away, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Lin Feng, mother! I got the news that Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, led a cavalry vanguard army of 10,000 this time, and he may return to Jianye City at dusk tomorrow. Prime Minister Li Cheng has not much time, in fact, Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, was rescued by our Pingbei General Mansion, and now he is hiding in a private house in the willow alley of the east gate. It is necessary to speed up the time for Prime Minister Li Cheng to get the command of the forbidden army, otherwise our plan will not be implemented. ”

After Lin Feng knew these two news, he was also very anxious.

"Well, it looks like time is running out. You hurry back to the Pingbei General's Mansion, don't let people doubt your whereabouts, so that even if the Pingbei General Tuoba Jun can defeat Prime Minister Li Cheng and sit on the throne, we still have a chance to get rid of him. In the next matter, I will talk to Prime Minister Li and try my best to help him get the command of the forbidden army!"

After saying this, Shen Lingxi took the lead in paying the money and returned to the Pingbei General's Mansion.

Of course, the Pingbei General's Mansion is also very busy now, while paying attention to the movements of Prime Minister Li Cheng, he also has to help Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, to hide, and send someone to inform the Pingbei General Tuoba Jun Jianye of the latest movements in the city.

Therefore, the housekeeper Tuoba Hao did not deliberately pay attention to Shen Lingxi's traces, of course, no one in the entire Pingbei General Mansion dared to follow Shen Lingxi, mainly because no one thought that their young master was a fake.

And Shen Lingxi, in turn, monitored the situation in all aspects of the Pingbei General Mansion everywhere, preparing for the next critical moment.

Shen Lingxi understood that he had been lurking beside the general of Pingbei for the past three years, just for this critical moment in the past few days.

Whether the Feng Kingdom can have a chance to breathe, or even whether it can successfully recover the counties occupied by the Xuanwu Kingdom, depends on how Shen Lingxi stirs up the situation in Jianye City next.

After Lin Feng returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he hurriedly went to the study to see Prime Minister Li Cheng, knowing that Prime Minister Li Cheng was digging three feet into the ground to find the traces of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and now I am afraid that he is still directing and dispatching these trivial matters in the study.

"Prime Minister, I'm Lin Feng, and I have some situations that I want to report to the Prime Minister. ”

Lin Feng knocked on the door outside the study, and then said his intention in a loud voice.

"Oh, Lin Feng, come in, what the hell is going on, Prime Minister Ben is very busy now!"

Prime Minister Li Cheng asked Lin Feng to come in and speak, but because of the urgency of time, he didn't raise his head, looking at some information from the newspaper, wanting to find the traces of Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, or to see if there was any news that could be used.

Lin Feng saw that the prime minister was indeed very busy, and when he came to the news that the general of Pingbei University, Tuoba Jun, was about to return to Jianye, Prime Minister Li Cheng had already known it from other channels.

"That, Prime Minister, today I was wandering around in a place called Willow Hutong near the East Gate, and I was actually deliberately looking for the traces of Lord Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Lord Luo Luxing, who had seen it, so I wanted to see if I could help the Prime Minister find Lord Servant of the Ministry of Officials. ”

Lin Feng deliberately raised his voice when he said this, and continued in a tone of surprise: "It may be that the humble position is lucky, and the humble position saw the gate of an ordinary people's house in the willow alley, and a person in coarse cloth clothes glanced out from the door. The humble post also glanced at the person inadvertently at that time, but the humble post was sure that that person looked exactly the same as the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Lord Luo Luxing. I think it's the Servant of the Ministry who is hiding. ”

Lin Feng said quite clearly, although his tone was a little excited, but overall he was quite calm.

But Prime Minister Li Cheng heard Lin Feng's words and immediately jumped up.

"Lin Feng, what are you talking about, you found Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, in the willow alley of the east gate. This is really a nowhere to find it, and it doesn't take much effort!Haha! Let's go, hurry up and catch the servant of the ministry, otherwise if he slips away again, this will be troublesome. ”

After Prime Minister Li Cheng got the news from Lin Feng, he hurriedly sent someone with hundreds of forbidden soldiers and rushed towards the willow alley at the east gate.

Since Shen Lingxi dared to tell Lin Feng this address, he had already thought of the possibility of doubting himself, so the place of Willow Hutong was actually not arranged by Shen Lingxi, but arranged by the housekeeper Tuoba Hao.

It's just that after settling down Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Shen Lingxi called a guard who went to arrange the residence of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and learned about the location from the guard.

Of course, the guard didn't suspect Shen Lingxi's intention to ask this location at all, and thought that he was just not at ease enough with the housekeeper Tuoba Hao.

Of course, Shen Lingxi is not afraid of this matter, and in the future, this guard will tell the news that he also knows about this place, presumably this guard will not dare to suspect Shen Lingxi.

However, just in case, Shen Lingxi still planned to get rid of this guard when the opportunity was right.

Prime Minister Li Cheng was still very resolute in his work, and soon Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry who was hiding in Willow Hutong, was caught by the forbidden army sent by Prime Minister Li Cheng.

Then he locked up Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, with his family.

Tuoba Hao, the housekeeper of the Pingbei General Mansion, was puzzled by the fact that the hideout of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, was so quickly found, but later inquired with an insider of the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that it was a guest named Lin Feng from the Prime Minister's Mansion who happened to see Lord Shilang of the Ministry of Officials in Willow Hutong, so he told Prime Minister Li Cheng the news.

For this situation, the housekeeper Tuoba Hao was a little puzzled, but he also had to believe in this result.

The loss of the bargaining chip of Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, made it a little more difficult for the general of Pingbei to usurp the throne, which made the housekeeper Tuoba Hao annoyed.

"Why was the residence of Lord Luo Luxing so easily found, is it really that I didn't arrange my address, alas, it would be nice if Lord Luo Luxing of the Ministry of Officials was left in the General Mansion of Pingbei. ”

Regarding the housekeeper Tuoba Hao's complaints, Shen Lingxi watched coldly from the sidelines, and said a few cool words from time to time.

"I knew that it wasn't so safe outside, and I wasn't very supportive of getting Lord Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, to live outside, but now it's okay, our efforts last night were in vain, and the guards who sacrificed their lives for Lord Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, to escape also died in vain. I said that it is not good for you to choose a place, you have to choose an alley close to the street, I think it is inevitable that people will be seen there. ”

Shen Lingxi's words were all complaints about the housekeeper's choice of this location, which made the already depressed housekeeper Tuoba Hao even more depressed.

Although he has always been a little disagreeable with Shen Lingxi, the young general, he did something wrong with himself, so he was said a few words by Shen Lingxi, and the housekeeper Tuoba Hao had no excuse.

"As a matter of urgency, I think it is better to tell my father-in-law about this situation as soon as possible. Let him not be so reckless and come back with 10,000 cavalry, it is better to wait for the large army to arrive, and then come to the city. Otherwise, the father-in-law only brought back 10,000 cavalry, which is still very risky. ”

Shen Lingxi didn't want Pingbei General Tuoba Jun to come back so soon, whether it was Prime Minister Li Cheng who easily defeated Pingbei General Tuoba Jun, or let Pingbei General Tuoba Jun easily defeat Prime Minister Li Cheng, this is not what Shen Lingxi wanted.

What Shen Lingxi wanted was 50,000 forbidden troops, and the 100,000 troops led by Tuoba Jun, the general of the Northern Peace, would kill flesh and blood under the capital of Xuanwu Kingdom in Jianye City, and consume the strength of Xuanwu Kingdom to the greatest extent.

Therefore, since Prime Minister Li Cheng has captured Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, it is presumable that Prime Minister Li Chengcheng will soon be able to get all the command of the forbidden army, and at this time, if the general of Pingbei Tuobajun really comes back with 10,000 cavalry, it will not be much different from sending him to death.

So Shen Lingxi hurriedly asked the housekeeper Tuoba Hao to send someone to inform the general of Pingbei Tuobajun, it seemed that it was really for the sake of General Tuoba Jun of Pingbei.

"That's right, it's still the young general's words to wake up the dreamer, now the servant of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Luo Luxing, has been caught by Prime Minister Li Cheng, and now it is the top priority to inform General Pingbei of this situation, why am I so confused, it seems that the young general is still assertive at the critical moment. ”

The housekeeper Tuoba Hao's compliments to Shen Lingxi for a while were mainly to try his best to recover the negligence of Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, who was arrested, of course, this is indispensable Shen Lingxi's kind words in front of General Pingbei.

Otherwise, when the time comes, the general of Pingbei Tunbajun will really investigate the fault, and the housekeeper Tuoba Hao will really be a little weak-hearted.

"Don't worry, the housekeeper usually does things, this young master still sees it, and when the time comes, I will explain it to the old man in front of my father-in-law, and I won't let this matter be borne by the housekeeper, don't worry!"

Shen Lingxi grabbed the handle of the housekeeper Tuoba Hao, of course, he would not let go easily, so he simply promised in front of the housekeeper Tuoba Hao, so that the housekeeper owed this favor greatly.

Thinking of this matter as a threat, the housekeeper Tuoba Hao will not be so arrogant in front of him in the future.

The housekeeper got Shen Lingxi's assurance, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, so he hurriedly went out and arranged for someone to send the news to the general of Pingbei Tuoba Jun that Lord Luo Luxing had been caught by the prime minister, and by the way, let the general Tuoba Jun of Pingbei not rush back in such a hurry, it is better to wait until the army arrives and then come to the city.

Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei who was running on the road, angrily tore the note to shreds after receiving the news that Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, was caught by Prime Minister Li Cheng.

"Butler, that bastard, it was not easy for my son to use a strategy to rescue Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, but I didn't expect that the stupid man of the housekeeper would arrange a place for Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, to be found so easily. It's really a guy who has more than enough success and more than failure, and when I go back this time, I must punish the housekeeper Tuoba Hao. ”

This can't help but make Pingbei General Tuoba Jun angry, originally if Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, was in the hands of the Pingbei General's Mansion, then the soldiers of the forbidden army would definitely throw a rat trap, and the throne was not within reach.

However, Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, was arrested by the Prime Minister, which made the throne that could have been easily obtained, become so difficult to seize, at least 50,000 soldiers of the forbidden army If they work together, it is not possible to attack Jianye City in a moment and a half, and Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, is very clear about this.
