Chapter 45: Bureau (II)
Several people were talking and laughing in the courtyard, and after a while, Zhao San, Liu Si, Chen Wu, and Jian Jiu also arrived, except for the betrayal and killed Leng Shi (Cold Frost), the remaining eleven of the 'Battle Soul Hall' had expired.
It was almost noon, the kitchen prepared wine and food, and everyone sat down one after another, Feng Qi sat on the chairman's seat, and Yun Lao and Li Er were on the side. After a while, the cook brought a pot of longevity buns and a bowl of longevity noodles, Feng Qi finished eating, and the cook served another bowl to each person. Today's kitchen added a steamed goose, braised carp and drunk crab three dishes, everyone's martial arts are high, the amount of food is also very large, drinking wine only for a while to eat the goose and fish a fine light, although the drunk crab is a rare thing, but everyone is troublesome to eat, and then feel that the thing is hungry before eating, simply too lazy to fiddle, among the men, only Chu Liu ate with relish, even Feng Qi only ate one and never ate again.
Liu Shiyi also chose one, opened the lid of the crab, dug the crab roe into the plate and broke the crab's legs into several pieces, he didn't eat it, but quietly pushed it over and gave it to Liang Xie, Liang Xie was embarrassed, eating is not, not no, seeing that everyone is eating and drinking by themselves, while everyone is unprepared, they hurriedly took it and ate it all, and at a glance, I saw that Li Er was actually peeling crabs for Feng Qi to eat, which was simply ......
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, everyone was full of food and drink, Yun Lao was not in good health, he only ate a bowl of somen noodles, and nothing else was touched, and he wrapped a letter of silver in a red cloth and gave it to Feng Qi and left.
Looking at Feng Qi's birthday, all the brothers were happy, Liang Xie's nose was sour, and he couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted, got up and walked away, and said secretly: "Yun Lao and Little Wang Ye are not in a thousand ways, but these people are their own brothers and sisters, Feng Qi, Thirteen, Jian Jiu, which one has not accompanied him from birth to death? Although Li Er does not deal with him on the surface, it is just a personality incompatibility, and he has never flinched when he encounters trouble, and there is ...... And willow ...... Willow Eleven. Wu Jingguo's action against these people will inevitably be damaged, can he ignore the lives of these brothers for the sake of Jiaxian?" Liang Xie let out a long breath, on the one hand, he was his wife, who had cut off the relationship with his family for the sake of himself, and on the other hand, he was a brother who shared life and death, no matter which side he sacrificed, he didn't want to see, and he didn't know what to do again.
"Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you back again?" Liu Shiyi walked over, the breeze blowing, blowing a strand of hair on her mouth, she gently brushed it away, in this cruel martial arts, she looked so weak.
Liang Xie felt a pain in his heart, the experiences of Feng Qi and Liu Shiyi, the two only women in the 'War Soul Hall', can be said to be very bumpy, but somehow, Liang Xie always felt that Liu Shiyi was far less strong than Feng Qi, although she had been through several ups and downs, she was still full of hope for life over the years, although she was an extremely assertive person.
"I don't worry about you...... Come back and see. Liang Xie said a word, and immediately regretted it, and he didn't know why he said such a sentence.
Liu Shiyi smiled and said, "Really?"
"It's true. Thirteen walked over and stared at Liang Xie's eyes, Liang Xie looked uncomfortable, and reluctantly said, "Yes...... It's true. ”
Liu Shiyi smiled slightly, Liang Xie also smiled, and Thirteen actually smiled.
In the Jingguo Mansion, Wu Jingguo recruited Li and Liu, two masters, elders, and Rui Granny gathered together.
"The thing...... What's going on?" Wu Jingguo asked after taking a sip of tea, and the two guards separated left and right without making a sound.
"As we had expected, it was about the Prince. Master Li said.
"Oh?" Wu Jingguo put down the teacup and Huo Ran sat up straight. "Which prince is it?"
Yin Jiusi. ”
"King Yu?" Wu Jingguo frowned.
"Yes. ”
"How could it be him?" Wu Jingguo leaned back in his chair slowly, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop. "So before he was respectful in front of me, he pretended to be?
"It should be. Moxue thinks that if it's just like this, it's just self-preservation, but if you raise a killer, it's a different matter. ”
"Hmph, the smell of milk hasn't dried yet. Wu Jingguo sneered, picked up the teacup and took another sip, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Master Liu, the elder, and Granny Rui, and said, "Tell me your opinion." ”
Master Liu said: "Returning to the Governor's Mansion, I think it's likely to be ......" 'Cough!', Master Li coughed and interrupted Master Liu, Master Liu seemed to be unconscious, and continued: "To play the slogan of 'Qingjun side', disrupt the court situation and take the opportunity to become the emperor." ”
Wu Jingguo smiled, noncommittal, and said after a while: "What about the patriarch and Granny Rui?
The patriarch got up and said with a smile: "The old man is a martial artist, the situation in the martial arts can still be controlled, and the overall situation of the court is really incomprehensible." ”
Wu Jingguo nodded and looked at Granny Rui, who got up and said, "What Master Liu said is extremely true, the prince rebelled...... It's never uncommon. ”
Wu Jingguo said 'um', drank tea, and did not say anything, the patriarch and Granny Rui sat down again, Master Li observed the words, and said: "What Master Liu said is also reasonable, and I also held this point of view in the previous discussion, if it is placed on other princes, it is at least eighty percent correct, but it is different when it is placed on the 'King of Honor'." If it is another prince, he can recruit troops in the fiefdom, and only need to leave three or five spies in the capital to observe the movement of the court, and when the time is ripe, he can raise troops. However, the 'King of Honor' is in the capital, and the capital is guarded by the 'Golden Guards', and the 'Inner Governor's Mansion' is pressed against the array, and these two places are like two big nets cast down, and there is still a possibility that the 'King of Honor' will slip through the net in a small fight, but how can it be bigger? Not to mention the Qing monarch's side......
Wu Jingguo nodded, continued to drink tea, Master Li continued: "The emperor died and was succeeded by his heirs, but because the emperor has no children, he can only be a brother and a brother, 'King Yu' is the only younger brother of the emperor, as long as the emperor is suddenly assassinated or dies of illness, he can inherit the unification logically, so why take that risk to rebel? Therefore, it is very likely that he secretly recruited killers to wait for the opportunity to assassinate the emperor. Asking for rain and so on are all killer opportunities, even if the emperor does not leave the palace for life, he can buy the chronic poison under the imperial doctor or the eunuch with aphrodisiacs......" Master Li said that the aphrodisiac suddenly stopped, in recent years, Wu Jingguo has given the emperor aphrodisiacs, so the emperor's body has become worse and worse in recent years, like this medicine, many emperors are interested in eating it themselves, but it doesn't matter if he eats it himself, if it is given by others, it will be too sinful. Master Li knows about this, and there are many people in the 'Inner Governor's Mansion' who know that this matter is basically a tacit secret to everyone except for the emperor, but no one has ever dared to say it openly, although Master Li is a popular person of Wu Jingguo, and many of what Wu Jingguo did was due to his strategy, but it is not appropriate to say this matter in front of the patriarch and Granny Rui after all. He peeked at Wu Jingguo, Wu Jingguo didn't seem to notice, he felt a little relieved, and hurriedly added: "These are much easier than soldiers, and they are also easier to ......."
Wu Jingguo sneered: "Poisoning, aphrodisiacs, are you supposed to be a playhouse?
Master Li hurriedly lowered his head and said anxiously: "The student is stupid. ”。
"Forget it, no matter what, 'King Yu' does have bad intentions, and what to do next needs to be carefully considered. After a while, Wu Jingguo's face gradually softened.
Master Li didn't dare to answer for a while, and Master Liu didn't dare to give advice when he saw that Master Li had eaten the reprimand.
Wu Jingguo's eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped at the patriarch, and said with a slight smile: "Patriarch, you are the leader in the martial arts, you first tell me your opinion." ”
The patriarch's eyebrows were twisted together, and he slowly shook his head and said: "This matter is really difficult to do, if we kill the 'King of Honor', we really can't afford this crime, although it is to eradicate hidden dangers for the emperor, but it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not pursue it, if you ignore it, in case the 'King of Honor' succeeds, it will be difficult to turn things around, the old man thinks that the only way is to strengthen the prevention first and then collect evidence and present it to the emperor, of course, it is best that the assassin can do it himself." ”
Granny Rui said, "Aren't we passive in this way?"
Master Liu smiled: "It's not easy to be passive if you don't want to......"
"Yes, the patriarch is right, as long as the assassin makes a move, the emperor and our worries will be relieved. Master Li hurriedly smiled, looking like you can't even see this.
Wu Jingguo said: "This matter will be done according to what the patriarch said, and we will discuss any changes in the future." ”
Everyone said in unison, "Yes." ”
Wu Jingguo said: "What has been the recent movement over there in the 'Eight Desolation Valley'?"
The patriarch said: "'Zhong Bayin' has led his disciples to turn back to the 'Eight Desolation Valley', and is currently practicing the 'Boundless Eight Desolation Array', in addition, there are three fewer disciples in the 'Eight Desolation Valley' recently, and some people have seen them haunt near the 'Ming and Tang Five Mirrors', 'Jun Tianfeng' and 'Zhongzhou Zen Buddhism', plus the previous 'Six Dragons Gang', they have visited three of the four major gangs in the world. ”
"Well, what is the strength of this what array and what mirror and what peak?"
The patriarch smiled and said: "How strong can the grinding spear be in the battle? However, the strength of these gangs cannot be underestimated, but which gang is willing to easily provoke people who can't even defeat Jing Xihuang until they have to do so? If they don't stay in the 'Zhongzhou Zen Sect', they may help with this, and his two senior brothers will also take care of the overall situation, and they will not easily offend other forces for irrelevant people." ”
"Well, in the opinion of the patriarch, who did Jing Xihuang's death?"
"On the surface, it naturally was done by the 'Immortal Evil Venerable', but the overlord didn't admit that it was his master, so it wasn't him. What's more, a normal person broke into the palace to assassinate the emperor, and this assassin took so much effort to kill only one of the Ouchi guards, but there was no action at all. ”
Wu Jingguo nodded slightly, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Have you all arrived?"
Master Li said: "Except for Zheng Qianhu, who has something to do, the other adults who have been invited have arrived." ”
"Oh, Zheng Qianhu didn't come for something? This is not like him. "Wujing National Road.
"Maybe I heard that the opponent is 'King Yu', I'm afraid that if the emperor blames him, I should hide first. Master Liu said.
"Can you stay out of the matter by hiding? I knew that I might as well hide when I was cornered by those fame and reputation guys a few years ago. A sneer appeared at the corner of Wu Jingguo's mouth, and he said without raising his eyelids.
"The governor is angry, maybe ......"
"Alright, let's call all of you. ”
The patriarch knew that it was time to leave, got up to say goodbye, and Granny Rui also said goodbye, and the two guards entered the house and went to the toilet with Wu Jingguo.
After a while, Wu Jingguo turned around, the 'Military Department' Shangshu Ren Siyi, the 'Golden Guard' in charge of Luo Pin, the left and right palms Xu Chunzhi, Li Nian, and the three marquis have all arrived, and the 'Inner Governor's Mansion' is in the hands of Wu Jingguo himself, and only the deputy capital Jia Chengfang and Shi Qianhu have come. When everyone entered the hall, they all knelt on their right knees, and shouted in unison: "Children, please be safe to your father." ”
"Well, sit down. ”
Everyone got up and sat down, and Wu Jingguo and Master Li explained the current situation in detail......
