Zhou Tong sat on the carriage for a while, and then people got down from the carriage one after another, mysteriously walking through the streets and alleys, so that Zhou Tong couldn't help but sigh: "Lord Zeng is really painstaking." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

After hearing this, one of the people in the carriage said: "Your Excellency has always been cautious, and your Excellency has no choice but to arrange this, I hope you will forgive me!"

Zhou Tong smiled: "But this time, he was too careful, but it made people suspicious." However, in these extraordinary times, I can also be considerate. ”

The man looked at Zhou Tong suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Tong sighed helplessly: "Isn't it just a simple meeting, why bother so much, and startle the snake." It's very simple, you just tell me the location, I'm on the street, and you can easily get rid of their surveillance. ”

"This—" The man didn't speak for a long time.

Zhou Tong said: "You are so hard-working, and you still call officers and soldiers, which makes people suspicious." If it weren't for your anxious care, I wouldn't have gotten into this carriage. Now, where are we going?"

"Outside Suzhou!" replied the man.

The carriage stopped in the dark alleys of the street, Zhou Tong poked his head out in confusion, saw another different carriage, and guessed in his heart that it would be convenient to change the carriage here, so that it would be convenient to go out of the city. When Zhou Dong changed the carriage, the two carriages went their separate ways, one in the direction of the city gate and the other in the opposite direction.

After changing the carriage, Zhou Tong quickly went out of the city gate and saw Zeng Huai waiting in a remote place.

Zhou Tong got out of the carriage and quipped: "Lord Zeng, it's really good to have Yaxing, choose such a place to meet me." ”

"What's wrong?" Zeng Huai said, "Don't you like it?"

Zhou Tong said: "I think, Master Zeng is still not in the mood to come here to enjoy the scenery, let's go straight to the point!"

Zeng Huai said: "Okay! I called you here this time to ask you how you plan to balance the relationship between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court?"

Zhou Tong replied, "I know how you feel, I know what you think when you sent a lot of people around the inn to monitor the inn. When those two people came to see me yesterday, I thought, in your heart, you are actually worried. I can't wait to see me, to know why they want to see me. It is true that they saw me for a certain purpose, but I don't know exactly what they were for. But I'm sure to tell you that they met me for the same reason that you see me today. From this, I can also see that in this Suzhou City, there are not just two forces, but I am not sure which side these extra forces are on. Judging by the current situation, it seems to be on our side. I don't reveal anything to them just to be on the safe side. ”

Zeng Huai asked, "So, what did they tell you?"

Zhou Tong replied: "It's about the situation of some Jianghu forces in Suzhou City, but unfortunately, they didn't get the specific information about attracting these Jianghu forces to Suzhou City this time." is also discussing how to deal with the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

Zeng Huai continued to ask: "Then, is there any countermeasure?"

Zhou Tong lowered his face and sighed: "There is no countermeasure, the other party is too mysterious, and until now, there is still no trace of it." This also has to make people admire his resourcefulness, being able to do it so seamlessly without showing the slightest trace. ”

"Yes!" Zeng Huai said: "This is also the most tricky thing I feel at the moment, I have never met such an opponent, it is really terrible." Silently, but you can always feel his presence, haunting me like a ghost, making me unable to eat, unable to sleep, open and close my eyes are all him. I've lived so long, and I've never had anyone who made me so scared, the first, hopefully, the last. ”

"It's also the first time I've encountered it. Zhou Tong said: "But, I don't know why, I can't feel his murderous aura, even now, I don't feel that there will be killing in Suzhou City, I don't know if it's the reason why he hasn't shown up yet." ”

Zeng Huai said: "The current Suzhou City, there is no trace of murder, but it gives me the feeling of suffocation, he is pressing over step by step, I always feel that a little carelessness will make me unable to breathe." ”

Zhou Tong said: "Maybe it's because you and I are in different situations, although we have the same purpose, I am no longer a member of the court." Originally, I didn't want to get involved in the strife here, but..."

"Because of Ma Zun, right?" Zeng Huai interrupted: "I know, Cai Jing sent people to Jiangnan, and I also sent people to follow up and investigate, after learning that you and Ma Zun met. Ma Zun and the Iron Armor are gone, can you tell me what is going on?"

Zhou Tong replied very sadly: "Ma Zun died for me, and as for the ironclad army, it was disbanded." ”

"What! Ma Zun died, how did he die?" Zeng Huai asked eagerly.

The corners of Zhou Tong's eyes were already filled with tears: "Cai Jing sent someone to order Ma Zun to kill me, Ma Zun couldn't bear it, on the way we left the barracks, we were ambushed, and in order to protect my safety, I was killed!"

"These brutes!" Zeng Huai said angrily: "How can these brutes be like this! The Ironclad Army is currently the most effective army in the south of the Yangtze River, and not to mention that these people are not good at making good use of it, and to do such a thing is simply self-destructing the Great Wall." Ma Zun is loyal and righteous, and he will never disappear for no reason, but he didn't expect to die at the hands of these beasts, traitors are in charge, traitors are in charge!"

Zhou Tong shed tears: "But what can I do, otherwise, how can I return to the rivers and lakes, and you will not be just a governor of Jiangnan!"

"Hey!" Zeng Huai sighed: "The matter has come to this, and we have no other way but to hope that this time can pass safely." ”

Zhou Tong comforted: "Don't worry, this matter will definitely pass." Now they are becoming more and more unable to sit still, I believe that the main thing behind the scenes should almost come out, otherwise he will not be able to clean up the mess in Suzhou City. ”

Zeng Huai asked, "The endgame of Suzhou City?"

Zhou Tong explained: "In the current Suzhou City, many forces are secretly competing, and there are more and more of them, once it exceeds his tolerance, then it will lose control, which also means failure." ”

"Hmm!" Zeng Huai said, "You're right! Do you have any plans or ideas now?"

Zhou Tong said: "In view of the situation in Suzhou City, I think we should act separately, and when I need your help, I will notify you as soon as possible." For now, please believe me, no matter what I do, cooperate with me, and don't meet too much, so as not to be exposed. ”

Zeng Huai said: "It seems that you are going to make some moves, isn't it convenient to reveal it?"

Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but to tell you, it will affect my next plan." You just have to believe me, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation!"

"Okay!" Zeng Huai said: "Since you said so, then I will listen to you for the time being, but you have to remember that if you need help, you must tell me!" (To be continued.) )
