"Have you all invited everyone?" Wu Jingguo asked Master Li after everyone left.

Master Li said: "The governor of the palace, the poison of the evil venerable has been resolved, and the skill has been restored, and now he has entered the city, temporarily living in the mansion in the west of the city of the governor, the 'Hundred Forbearance Jingtang' asking price is very high, but as long as the silver is in place, the person can be in place at any time, the master in red clothes has not been found for the time being, and the masters of other sects and factions have invited about three hundred people, all of whom are arranged by the deputy gang leader of the 'Qifeng Building' Cheng to hide secretly outside the city, and they can participate in the war at any time under the order of the governor." ”

"Did you say yes?"

Master Li said: "The governor of the palace, 'listen to the rain and read the sword tower' still means that, how much does the 'Bairen Jingtang' ask for, they double, unless the governor does not use the people of the 'Bairen Jingtang', they will never let the price." ”

Wu Jingguo said: "How many silver taels do we have at present?"

Master Li said: "Yesterday, the students asked Master Qian, the governor's family resources are enough, but the expenses have been too large in recent years, and the cash is not very abundant at the moment, and more than half of them are in the money village of the 'Osumi Heavenly City', it is said that the cash shortage of the 'Osumi Heavenly City' cannot be exchanged so much, and the 'Listening to the Rain Reading Sword Tower' is indeed a bit excessive, and the amount of money is still secondary, and the students are only afraid that this matter cannot be concealed from the people of the 'Bairen Jingtang', in case the 'Bairen Jingtang' also sits on the ground and starts to raise the price, our expenses will ......."

Wu Jingguo nodded and asked the four people behind him, "Which of the two forces is bigger, 'Hundred Ninja Jingtang' and 'Listening to the Rain and Reading the Sword Tower'?"

The four-eared old man said: "The Yan of the 'Listening to the Rain and Reading the Sword Tower' is the fastest progressing and most mysterious master in recent years, and the shadow skills of the 'Hundred Forbearance Jingtang' are strange and mysterious, and its East Island Peerless Realm has been perfected to be a better teacher, after all, the rookie is still a few points inferior to the shadow, and in terms of the ranking of the world's master 'Thunder Dragon Shadow Thief Yan Jinghong', there is also an 'Immortal Evil Venerable' between the two, and the twelve killers of the 'Hundred Forbearance Jingtang' are all equipped with peerless Dongdao martial arts and can attack people by surprise,' Listen to the rain and read the sword building', although the two deputy owners are powerful, but they are also the Central Plains martial arts, and they are probably not as good as the foreign side doors to deal with the Central Plains people, no matter how it is calculated, the 'Hundred Patience Jingtang' is better. ”

"Do you hear that?"

Master Li said: "Yes, students try to fight together as much as possible, and if there is a conflict, they will choose to cooperate with the 'Bairen Jingtang'." ”

Wu Jingguo asked again: "How sure are we that we can deal with the 'Dragon God' with our current strength?"

The four-eared old man said: "Counting the 'listening to the rain and reading the sword tower', you can fight, if you are just a shadow thief, you will lose more and win less, the 'Dragon God' is of course a martial arts master, and the masters under his command are even more."

There are countless of them, like Ouyang Zhonglu and Xia Zhongyuan, these are all grandmaster-level masters, and it would be very good for the masters of the rivers and lakes on our side to contain them. ”

Wu Jingguo nodded, and Master Li said: "Governor, the student thinks that it is better to be still, and the variables are still quite high at the moment, and it is not too late to do so when we find the forces that can contain the 'Dragon God', and the matter has not reached the point where the fish is dead Although Lord Gao was imprisoned, 'Zhongzhou' is still in the hands of the governor, as long as the 'military department' and the 'golden guard' are still in the hands of the governor, we can dominate the situation, and the students are not afraid that the emperor will deal with the governor, but they are a little worried......"

"Worried about what?"

Master Li said: "The students are worried that Lord Ren and Lord Luo will speak well, and they will be the governor of the government at a critical time. ”

Wu Jingguo said: "You have said this more than once. ”

Master Li said: "But we have never been able to solve this problem, after all, it is extremely important for Lord Ren to join the cabinet and become the first person under the emperor, if the emperor promises the benefits of Lord Luo and taking charge of the 'Inner Governor's Mansion', Lord Luo is not without the possibility of betrayal, if the two adults follow the governor with all their hearts, it is obvious that a better opportunity is needed, so at the moment we still have to recruit enough forces, including and waiting for variables." ”

Wu Jingguo said: "How to solve it, you have to find a way, the defeat of 'Zhongzhou' is not wanted to be seen again, if something goes wrong again this time, your Li family will not want to get rid of it." ”

Master Li said: "Governor of the Imperial Palace, the students have been influenced by the patriarchs in the matter of 'Zhongzhou', and they are a little radical, and they will never dare to make mistakes in the major affairs of the DPRK and China, just because the students know that it is okay for the 'Zhongzhou' to lose ten times, but the affairs of the court must be hit with one blow, so the students can only be cautious and strive to be foolproof." ”

Wu Jingguo said: "Master Li, you'd better not use these rhetoric to prevaricate the governor, there are a thousand reasons for the matter, and how to plan for the ten thousand difficulties is also your business, what the governor wants is the effect." ”

Master Li hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Yes, the student understands." ”

Wu Jingguo said: "For those who are useful, they want the right to be given by the governor, and if they want silver, the governor will give them silver, and the glory and wealth will ensure that he will not be able to enjoy it for a lifetime. ”

Master Li knocked his head three times in a row and said, "I don't know who wronged the student in front of the governor? The student is loyal to the governor and will never dare to have two hearts. ”

"Really?" Wu Jingguo's face was grim, and he stared directly at Master Li and said, "Where are you going to ask someone to open a few road guides a few days ago?"

Master Li's heart was shocked, his face turned pale suddenly, he did have the intention of running away with his family, but he had never asked someone to do any road guidance, could it be that the stinky boy did it without me? This was a very small and very small matter, but at this moment, it was extremely serious on his body, he was just about to open his mouth to defend himself, but he heard Wu Jingguo say again: " Don't say that you did it for someone else, as far as the governor knows, you have never looked down on this little money, and the name on the road has been copied by the governor, and don't say nonsense such as going back to your hometown to visit your relatives and worship your ancestors, you have never gone home to worship your ancestors since you followed this governor. ”

Master Li's mind was racing, knowing that Wu Jingguo would never be untargeted, since there must be such a thing when he said so, whether he admitted it or not, Wu Jingguo would think that he had entrusted someone to do it, and insisted on arguing that if he was found out, it would not only make him fall into a dead end, but also affect his son, after all, if he didn't have this thought, his family would never do anything, he didn't dare to think about it for too long, lest Wu Jingguo think that he was weaving a lie.

After thinking about it for a while, Master Li kowtowed his head again with his heart, and said: "The governor of the mansion, this is the student's selfishness, the student is afraid that once the governor and the emperor have a dispute, it will affect the family, in case someone offers a plan to the emperor and captures the student's family to blackmail the student to betray the governor of the house, it will be difficult to save the life of the family, so he asked the inferior son to open the way, take the family to hide back to his hometown temporarily, and ask the governor to be tolerant." He said this to protect his son, and he could also protect himself as much as possible, if Wu Jingguo asked him how the road guide was opened, he could also say that the child was young and ignorant and worried that he would excuse himself.

Wu Jingguo's face was slightly gentle, and he said, "Well, this is also human nature. Who are you talking about?"

Master Li said: "Students have no evidence and dare not talk nonsense. ”

Wu Jingguo said: "This is not the 'Criminal Department', and when there is real evidence, the head of the governor will be taken off early." ”

Master Li said: "What the governor said is, does the governor feel that someone has been a little close to the emperor recently?"

Wu Jingguo said: "Are you talking about impermanence?"

Master Li said: "Master Xu's martial arts are strong, his wit is outstanding, and he made a contribution to the governor of the palace last time, and the students did not dare to doubt him, but the relationship between Lord Yu and the emperor is indeed unusual, and the young man he installed in the 'Dragon Guard' is only dedicated to his own errand and has never been willing to visit the governor, nor does he want to deal with other adults in the 'Dragon Guard' and the 'Golden Guard', and the students are afraid that there must be hidden secrets." ”

Wu Jingguo said: "You know a lot about things in the palace." ”

Master Li said: "The governor of the government has every opportunity, and some small things have been paid attention to by students since then. ”

Wu Jingguo said: "Master Li, if you want to deal with this governor, don't you want to use this identity to inquire about some inside stories or form your own forces in the 'Dragon Guard' and 'Golden Guard'?"

Master Li said, "Uh...... I'm afraid...... I am afraid that the other party will be scheming and do the opposite, and there is no secret in the 'Golden Guard' and 'Dragon Guard'. ”

Wu Jingguo said: "Do you know who found out that you were doing the road guide?"

"Is it impermanence?" asked Master Li in surprise.

Wu Jingguo didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

The sweat on Master Li's head immediately fell, he wanted to take the opportunity to frame Yu Wuchang, but he didn't expect the other party to shoot faster than him, and it was like this. It's not too ruthless' technique, so far he has basically guessed a rough idea, and the impermanence of the impermanence of the person to open the road for their whole family, and then the news will be revealed to Wu Jingguo, Wu Jingguo can easily find the name on the road guide by asking the person who issued the road guide, and then this matter will sit on his head, no need to ask the person entrusted by the impermanence must have escaped now, and the road guide must have been secretly hidden in his own house by the impermanence, and he will never be found in ordinary times, but as long as he searches aggressively, he will definitely be able to find out.

This is a kind of framing, but this framing is very peculiar, it is not a direct frame-up, and it is difficult to put him to death, it is not ruthless to say, but it is very vicious, and the viciousness is so accurate that the other party's thinking about him is so accurate that even he thinks that his son did it, and the viciousness is vicious in Wu Jingguo's character, no matter how he explains it, he will be suspicious of him, and now no matter how he says bad words, it sounds like a communiqué and a personal vendetta in Wu Jingguo.

Master Li had already admitted the matter of Lu Yin, how dare he forcibly defend himself at this moment, so he had to kowtow again and say, "It seems that the student is too worried." ”

Wu Jingguo looked at him with a smile and said: "How do you fight with each other, the governor doesn't want to ask, and he doesn't want to ask, but if you miss the governor's major affairs, the governor doesn't care which of you is right or wrong, he will be killed." ”

Master Li's heart trembled, and he kowtowed, "The student understands. ”

Wu Jingguo said again: "The patriarch has been eliminated by the two of you, now is a very moment, what do you have to do and bear with it, put your mind on business, and when the situation is stable, you can fight to the death." ”

Master Li kowtowed again and said, "The student obeys." But in his heart, he was even more shocked, what kind of way is this impermanence, and he told the governor that such a thing as infighting was not concealed.

"Get up, for the sake of you being the only one in your family of seven who has not opened the way, I believe you this time, and I don't want to see the next time. ”

"Yes. Master Li kowtowed again, slowly stood up, his heart was terrified, no wonder Wu Jingguo firmly believed in the words of Yu Impermanence, it turned out that this guy who was hanging out of time had left such a back road for himself, this back road made him secretly call luck At the same time, he also nailed his own reply and this matter firmly to the board, and he couldn't turn it over if he wanted to, it seems that Wu Wuchang not only knew what he thought, but also didn't even leave him the slightest chance to justify, he only admitted that it was the best choice.

Master Li was afraid for a while, if he insisted on defending before, there was still two or three percent of the chance to make it clear, in this kind of situation where he first explained his previous actions and left him a way out, Wu Jingguo would never believe him, he didn't even have half a chance, the people of the 'Inner Governor's Mansion' would seriously search his house up and down, inside and out, once he searched for the way, I am afraid that they would not even be able to use it tomorrow, and their family would all be arrested and imprisoned, and this 'once' represents the inevitability.

Master Li tried his best to calm down, making his face and movements look like everything was normal, and he couldn't let Wu Jingguo become suspicious again.

"You discuss with Master Qian and find a way to exchange the silver as soon as possible. ”

Master Li said, "Yes." ”

Wu Jingguo said: "I knew that it would be better to take some trouble to transport cash from 'Zhongzhou' back in the first place." ”

Master Li said: "The governor can't, so much silver can't be transported back to the palace, so as not to make the emperor afraid and jealous, and make up his mind to deal with the governor, but also afraid that someone will incite the people to go against the governor, and the governor is involved in the dispute of 'Zhongzhou', these silver can only be exchanged in small quantities now, and a large amount of silver can only be cashed out when it is used, and it would be great if they could be persuaded to collect cash tickets." ”

"Well, you can do it. ”

"Yes"

"Old demon, what news has come back from the natural disaster and the thousand disasters?"

"Don't worry, the governor of the prefecture, the three lords all wrote yesterday, and everything is fine. ”

"Well, there will be nothing wrong with the three of them in the army. ”

"The matter in the capital is urgent, do you want to summon the three adults back?"

"No, it's enough to have a 'tiger' in the 'Inner Governor's Mansion' for the time being, the affairs of the capital are important, and we can't have accidents with the three armies, you prepare the letter first, and then call the three of them back when you have to do it, and replace the seven leopards to supervise the army." ”

"Yes. ”

This meal was very rich, and he enjoyed eating a lot, and there was a bunch of them in front of the table, but Master Li was not interested, he couldn't eat at all, and finally ate the meal, and when Wu Jingguo went to the palace in a sedan chair, Master Li took a long breath and washed his face and went home.

When he went home, Master Li's hands and feet were shaking, the more he endured, the more he trembled, he knew that from today onwards, his family's every move would be under the complete surveillance of Wu Jingguo, he was afraid that people would see that his heart was weak, he was already deeply cold, and he deliberately wrapped his robe to move forward, a cold wind blew, Master Li wrapped the robe and slowly walked away ....... He had only one thought in his mind - to kill impermanence no matter what.
