The rain kept falling, and the rain was washing the dirt on the ground and the filth on the surface. The dark sky occasionally bursts of lightning across the stormy sky.

The boss of the eight wolves in Zhongshan was anxiously waiting for the news of the second child in an inn not far from the Mongolian military camp, the rain penetrated the eaves and poured down from the groove of the roof, forming several water columns, the water columns fell to the ground, making a crackling sound, the boss looked at the wind and rain blowing obliquely outside, listening to the crackling sound, and couldn't help but be a little impatient.

According to the agreement between the eldest and the second brother, they will meet here at noon today, but the eldest has not seen the second child and the rest of the brothers since noon, and his heart can't help but become more and more anxious.

The third and fifth have already mixed into the Mongolian military camp to secretly continue to protect Kublai Khan, and with the eldest is the seventh, the seventh saw the rain pouring down, so he said: "Could it be that the second brother delayed the trip because of the heavy rain, let's wait!"

"Impossible" the boss immediately denied, "Your second brother's temperament, I know best, he has always been on time, only early, never delayed, not to mention that an hour has passed now." ”

Lao Qi felt that what the boss said was indeed true, and he couldn't help but start worrying.

The two waited from noon to midnight, and never until night, but there was still no trace of the second child and the rest of the brothers.

The rain did not stop until nightfall.

After the rain stopped, the eldest and the seventh still did not see the second child, so they waited patiently for an hour, the more the boss waited, the more he felt that things were not good, and secretly speculated: "According to the second child's style, even if he can't arrive in time, he will fly the pigeon in advance to inform him in advance, and now it has been several hours in the past, it is difficult to encounter some accidents." ”

"Seventh, I'll go over first to replace the third and fifth, you wait here first, wait for the third and fifth to come, you ask the two of them to continue to wait for the news of the second here, and then you come over. "The boss saw that it was not early, and when it was time to take the shift, he instructed the old seven ways,

After the seventh agreed, the boss changed into the clothes of a Mongolian soldier, and then quickly went to the Mongolian military camp.

After the heavy rain stopped, Jia Rudao and Liu Bingzhong secretly negotiated and quietly returned from Yinziao.

Soon after Jia Rudao returned, Lu Wenhuan hurried to inform.

Lu Wende ordered Lu Wenhuan to take the powerful elite soldiers to Jia Rudao's mansion, and ordered him to lead the troops to hide outside the door, and only when he heard that there was movement inside could he lead the troops in, if not, he would not move, if an hour had passed, he saw that he had not come out, and he rushed directly into the mansion regardless of whether there was any movement.

Although Lu Wenhuan didn't know what Lu Wende meant, he knew in his heart that he had his eldest brother, so he took the order to leave.

Lu Wende took a few personal guards and went to Jia Rudao's mansion.

As soon as Jia Rudao entered the mansion, the housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Master, at noon, Lord Lu came to the mansion, and the people below did not stop him, so he entered the mansion. The housekeeper's expression was frozen, afraid that Jia Rudao would blame, so he lowered his head.

Jia Rudao complained in his heart: "Damn, it's all this sudden heavy rain that delayed the trip." ”

Just as he was about to blame the housekeeper, he heard a commotion outside, and then saw Lu Wende breaking into the mansion with a few guards.

"What did Master Lu want to do when he came to my mansion with the guards?" Jia Rudao said sternly when he saw Lu Wende's rudeness and force, and the housekeeper immediately stepped aside.

"I was in a hurry to find the Prime Minister, but the gang outside the door didn't let me in, so I had to take a few guards and break in. Lu Wende did not meet him, there was no fear on his face, and he said awe-inspiringly,

"Lord Lu said that he was looking for me urgently, what was the urgency?" Jia Rudao asked respectfully, but his heart was very empty.

Lu Wende subconsciously looked around and said, "Do you want me to say it here?"

Jia Rudao immediately asked Lu Wende to go to the inner room, and ordered the housekeeper to hurry up and serve tea.

Lu Wende asked a few of his guards to wait outside the door, and subconsciously made a look.

Entering the inner room, the two sat down, and Jia Rudao asked, "What is the urgency of Lord Lu looking for me?"

"Today, I heard a report from a spy that the whole Mongolian army was covered with white flags, as if an important person in the army had died, but I don't know who it was?"

Jia Rudao did not tell him frankly, but said simply: "I don't know either." ”

Lu Wende thought secretly: "Sure enough, it's an old fox, and his tail is hidden deep enough." ”

In order to further mention Jia Rudao, Lu Wende proposed: "No matter who dies, they are all important people in the army, my lord, why don't we take this opportunity to lead the troops to attack at night?"

"No!" Jia Rudao immediately denied.

Lu Wende looked at Jia Nidao curiously, Jia Nidao realized that he was too nervous, so he explained,

"The so-called fiction is real, the reality is false, the Mongolian army is very cunning, I am afraid that there will be fraud. ”

Jia Yidao's rhetoric was very convincing, and for a while Lu Wende didn't know how to judge, so he attached another sentence,

"However, I have ordered men to prepare for a night attack on the Mongol army, and at this moment, the army is on its way. ”

Jia Rudao's face immediately changed greatly, and he scolded: "What, hurry, hurry up and order someone to withdraw." ”

Lu Wende looked at Jia Yidao's face and had already guessed seven or eight points.

"My lord, why are you so nervous?" Lu Wende asked rhetorically,

Jia Rudao was a little weak-hearted by Lu Wende's rhetorical question, and explained softly: "I am afraid that I will be ambushed by the Mongolian army and lose the lives of our soldiers in vain. ”

"I've already met General Gao, and he told me that you went to Fenghua Temple with him the night before. Lu Wende paused for a moment, a trace of certainty flashed in his eyes, and continued: "Then the people who died in the Mongolian army should be Zhang Rou's father and son, right?"

When Jia Yidao heard this question, he knew what Lu Wende meant, and then he no longer concealed it, and replied calmly, "Lord Lu is here for this today, right? That's right, it's true. ”

The butler came to the two with tea and placed the teacup on the small table.

"I'm afraid, in addition to this, my lord has something bigger to hide from me, right?" Lu Wende picked up the teacup and said lightly,

Jia Rudao was about to drink the teacup, and when he heard Lu Wende's words, he couldn't help but feel a tightening in his heart, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked,

"What does Lord Lu mean by this?"

Lu Wende also put down the teacup in his hand and asked with a serious expression: "The adults know well, dare to ask the adults how did they know that Zhang Rou would appear in Fenghua Temple?"

"I naturally have my eyeliner. Jia Rudao immediately picked up, and there was a great deal of unceasiness between his words.

Lu Wende naturally did not show weakness, and immediately made up for it,

"Okay, may I ask my lord, how did Zhang Rou die?"

"Of course, I blew them up with gunpowder. Jia Rudao replied proudly,

Lu Wende sneered a few times, "Hehe, the one who was blown up, dare to ask where the gunpowder came from? I heard that Fenghua Temple was razed to the ground, so the amount of gunpowder should be not small, right?"

Jia Rudao replied again: "Of course, it was allocated by the Hyogura Room. ”

Lu Wende immediately slapped his palm on the table, and the table made a 'boom' sound, shaking the cup on the table directly, and the tea flowed over the table, dripping to the ground, splashing slightly.

Jia Rudao was slightly frightened by Lu Wende's sudden excitement, and looked at Lu Wende blankly.

Lu Wende looked angry, "I have asked the warden of the arsenal and checked the record book, but there is no record of the disbursement of gunpowder in the past few days. ”

When Jia Rudao heard that Lu Wende had investigated the gunpowder matter, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and his heart was furious, wondering whether Lu Wende knew that he had secretly accepted bribes and privately negotiated peace with the Mongols.

"In short, Zhang Rou, the general of the Mongolian army, was killed by our Song army, for the Great Song Dynasty, this is a great achievement, as for the gunpowder matter, it is all details, is there anything to pursue?" Jia Rudao relieved his fear, and said calmly,

At this moment, Lu Wende had already guessed that Jia Rudao had secretly colluded with the Mongols, so the Mongols had no intention of attacking in the past few days, and everything was very peaceful. He saw that Jia seemed to cover up in every possible way, tried his best to refute, and had no intention of confessing his mistakes, so he directly broke the way,

"Are you secretly colluding with the Mongols?" Lu Wende was quite angry and angry, not caring at all about Jia Yidao's identity as prime minister.

In Lu Wende's heart, he takes the country very seriously, is quite loyal, and hates the Mongols the most, although he has the heart to have something to do with Jia Nidao for the prosperity of the family, but the fact that Jia Rudao secretly colluded with the Mongols touched Lu Wende's bottom line, so Lu Wende had no scruples.

Jia Rudao was stunned by Lu Wende's question, "It's not good, it seems that Lu Wende has seen through it, if this matter is reported to the emperor by him, I'm afraid it will be very disadvantageous, what should I do?" Jia Rudao secretly pondered in his heart.

"As a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, I received the fortune of the Great Song Dynasty, and I should think about the welfare of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, instead of becoming a traitor like you. Lu Wende said harshly,

"Shut up, the prime minister has his own reason for acting like this, why did I collude with the Mongols? Why did I become a traitor? I just agreed to the Mongols to negotiate peace, do I need you to make such accusations in front of the prime minister?" Jia Rudao couldn't hold back any longer, put on the posture of the prime minister, and questioned himself in a loud voice.

"Peace talks? Peace talks are a major national matter, how can you be in charge alone, you are clearly colluding and traitorous acts, don't quibble, wait for me to write to inform the emperor tomorrow, see how you explain?" Lu Wende did not compromise at all, his posture was domineering, and he was excited for a while, so he stood up and pointed at Jia Rudao and said harshly,

"What evidence do you have? Don't spew blood on your own guesses. Jia Rudao pointed at Lu Wende and said angrily, his expression was solemn and majestic.

"Do you think that no one knows about the secret collusion between you and Liu Bingzhong in Yinziao?" Lu Wende also looked high-spirited and immediately fought back.

Hearing this, Jia Rudao immediately stopped making a sound, and immediately lost his sense of proportion, and hurriedly shouted: "Someone is coming." ”

Immediately, a large number of soldiers poured into the inner room, all holding knives against each other.

Seeing the situation, several guards brought by Lu Wende rushed to the inner room in advance, surrounded Lu Wende, and confronted each other with knives, and the situation became tense for a while.

"What? Is the prime minister going to kill me?" Lu Wende pulled out the sword on his body and asked in his mouth, his face was fearless, and he was ready to fight back at any time.

"I am the prime minister of the dynasty and was ordered to lead the battle of Ezhou, and now in Ezhou, I still have the final say. Jia Rudao stood up and spoke sharply.

"Give it to me. Jia Rudao then ordered,
