Hua Chong didn't understand what Jiang Ping was thinking: "If there is a Qin messenger, aren't you afraid of alarming the king of Xiangyang?

Jiang Ping waved his hand again and again: "No, I want this literati just to let them underestimate the enemy, if the Governor of the Fifth Army sends 100,000 horses, the King of Xiangyang will be surprised." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info If only one civil official is sent down to repair water conservancy and dredge siltation, it will have no impact on King Xiangyang, but it will have some impact on Wu Ze. If he really intends to use the Dragon King Order to summon the water thieves in the world, then he will definitely get things done before the Qin mission arrives, and then this will be my chance!"

Hua Chong nodded and said: "Well, the fourth brother is reasonable, if it is really a bitter deception, there are some risks in the end, if you can really let Wu Ze use the Dragon King Order, then the three swords of Taihu Lake will be famous." I'm just about to go back to Beijing to reply to the decree, and I'll talk to Banzai about this and try my best to achieve it. ”

Jiang Ping put on a pitiful expression: "Lord Hua, I, Jiang Ping, have dozens of catties of flesh and blood, but I will hold it in your hands, and I must not forget it." ”

Everyone laughed, and Bai Jintang said with a smile: "Fourth brother, don't worry, so many of us can trust you, we are waiting for your good news." ”

The plan is set, and everyone goes back to rest. When everyone dispersed, Zhihua and Zhu Jiangzhen's father and daughter came to see Hua Chong. Zhihua was born in a family of eunuchs since he was a child, read poetry and books at an early age, and was quite literary, but only later suffered an accident and gave up literature and martial arts. Meeting with Zhu Huanzhang today, Zhu Huanzhang opened his mouth to test his literature, but he didn't expect Zhihua a martial artist to answer like a fluent, and heard him say that he was the son of the late Xiangyang prefect, with a deep hatred of blood, and was willing to lurk for revenge, Zhu Huanzhang was extremely admired, and his daughter was willing to marry him, so he agreed.

Hua Chong was also very happy, said hello to Zhihua, and sent the three away. After the three of them went out, Zhihua came back again and asked him about the next plan, and heard that he was going to deceive Hongze Lake, and Zhihua was a little worried: "This matter is a little difficult, and it is indispensable to achieve the right time, the right place and the right people." ”

Hua Chong looked up to the sky and sighed: "So far, I have no choice, Hongze Lake is not broken, how can I go to Xiangyang." If you attack Hongze Lake and are afraid of Xiangyang, alas, you will be in a dilemma. ”

Zhihua said: "This time you return to Beijing, you can ask the emperor about the reality of the Imperial City Division, if the emperor gives you a contact method or personnel list of the Imperial City Division, maybe you can get some help." Besides, they are in the dark, you are in the light, if you are a little careless, and then you accidentally injure the people of the Imperial City Division, it is not beautiful. ”

"I'll ask about it. Hua Chong paused, his face darkened, and he sighed in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the emperor won't say it clearly." ”

Zhihua smiled slightly: "Very likely, Lord Hua, there are only you and me here, I would like to advise the adults." ”

"What do you teach?"

"Rapids retreat!"

"Rapid retreat?" Hua Chong chewed on this sentence, and after a long time, he whispered, "You persuade me to go?"

Zhihua shook his head: "At this moment, you are an official residence, your power is like the sky, and you are burdened with important matters, go now, the emperor can execute you Ling Chi!"

"Then what do you mean by that?"

"I don't know how many people from the Imperial City Division are around King Xiangyang, but there are opponents like you, Lord Hua, plus the spies around you, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to achieve big things. As long as the matter of King Xiangyang is over, adults should withdraw as soon as possible, and you need to know that the companion is like a tiger!"

Hua Chong was shocked when he heard this, recalled the emperor's various behaviors, and nodded: "I know why Brother Zhi didn't go back to the Imperial City Division to restore his life, and the rangers are also good." After that, he smiled slightly: "The little brother has his own measure, and this fame and fortune are not a matter of hindrance, when the time comes, I will go through the rivers and lakes with Feiyan, and learn from today's wise brother, the world is vast, and there is always a place for me." ”

Zhihua nodded: "Since this is the case, Zhihua will leave, I hope that one day, as you said, we may be able to see each other on the rivers and lakes." ”

Hua Chong laughed loudly: "If there is wine here, Brother Yu should drink three cups together!"

Zhihua smiled, said goodbye, and turned to leave.

Hua Chong looked at the back of Zhihua leaving, and whispered to himself: "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger......"

Early the next morning, Jiang Ping left Hangzhou with Zhan Zhao and Han Zhang, and got up to go to Taihu Lake. Bai Jintang and Ouyang Chun said that they were going to Shaolin in a hurry, and they said goodbye and left, and the Ding sisters also said goodbye and left, after all, they hadn't passed the door yet, Ding Yuehua and Bai Yutang were in one place all day, which was a little inconvenient. After Hua Chong sent these people away, he began to arrange the affairs of Hangzhou, and after arranging a whole day, Hua Chong took the written recital and entered Beijing with Pang Feiyan to reply to the decree. The rest remained in Hangzhou to assist local officials in the follow-up work.

Along the way, there is a relationship between the lives of Jiang Ping and the three of them, and the husband and wife dare not delay, and they work hard every day. It took me a month to get back.

After entering Beijing, Hua Chong asked Pang Feiyan to go home first to report a message, and let Pang Ji see his daughter, after all, this is just this girl, but she went to the murder battlefield, and she had to let the old man see if he was injured. Hua Chong went straight to the palace and asked to see Emperor Renzong.

As soon as the emperor heard that it was Hua Chong who returned to Beijing, he hurriedly ordered the eunuch to announce him into the harem, and still met him in Yaowu Tower. When he arrived at Yaowu Tower, Hua Chong truthfully reported the experience of Bawangzhuang and his party to Renzong. The emperor was also very surprised when he heard this.

"You said they even killed the prefect of Hangzhou?"

"Exactly, and they also killed Weichen with a return gun, which almost caused a big disaster. ”

"Where have these bandits fled?"

"Hongze Lake, listening to Zhihua, they may have to make a big move in Hongze Lake. ”

The emperor nodded: "This Zhihua is indeed a member of the Imperial City Division, why didn't he return to Beijing?"

"Long live, this person said that he would travel the world, find the accomplice of the king of Xiangyang elsewhere, and then serve long live. ”

"Oh, I see. The emperor did not doubt Hua Chong's words, and encouraged him: "Hua Aiqing has done a good job in the matter of Overlord Village, is your next plan to eradicate Hongze Lake?"

The minister had this intention, and the minister and his subordinate Jiang Ping came up with an idea. Hua Chong introduced their deception plan to the emperor, and expressed the hope that the emperor would cooperate and send someone to investigate Hongze Lake.

"No problem!" The emperor was very happy: "Tomorrow morning, I will issue an order, and Master Pang will personally investigate Hongze Lake!"

"Taishi Pang?" Hua Chongmeng, I want to find a literati, Taishi Pang? This is the fierce man who conquered Western Xia and conquered Da Liao back then.

"Yes, didn't the Qing family say that they wanted a civil minister?" The emperor didn't feel that there was anything wrong: "Pang Taishi is only a Taishi position at present, and has no other official positions, and he lives in Beijing, but it is not just right for him to go? ”

Hua Chong also felt justified when he heard it, and immediately agreed, and then asked about the matter of the Imperial City Division: "Long live, the ministers deceived Hongze Lake, if there are people from the Imperial City Division to respond, it may be much smoother, but the ministers don't know about it." ”

"Aiqing doesn't have to worry about this, I will contact them. The emperor interrupted: "The people of the Imperial City Division will fully cooperate with you, you just have to rest assured, there is a dark line in Hongze Lake, and they will help you." ”

"Long live thank you. "Hua Chong, who touched a nail, didn't dare to say it anymore.

The emperor didn't care, and said to the flower: "Hua Aiqing, I will give a banquet in a while, Aiqing has worked hard, I have already announced that Master Pang Tai and her daughter are coming, and I will celebrate Aiqing's success." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Pang Taishi to enter the palace with Pang Feiyan, and during the banquet, the emperor said to Pang Ji that he was going to investigate Hongze Lake and assist Hua Chong.

The emperor smiled and said: "This is called a father and son soldier!"

The meal ended in a friendly atmosphere between the monarch and the ministers, and Pang Ji and the three of them left the palace together, behind the palace gate, Hua Chong secretly used his internal strength, and sent a voice to Pang Ji into the secret road: "It is inconvenient to go back together today, and the son-in-law will pay homage tomorrow." ”

Pang Ji's face did not change, and he exchanged a few words with Hua Chong and his wife, and went back to the house by himself. Hua Chong took Pang Feiyan home with him. On the way, Pang Feiyan asked Pang Ji about the Qin mission several times, but he was a mouthful, and he was diverted from the topic by Hua Chong.

After returning home, Hua Chong whispered to Pang Feiyan: "Long live this move, there must be a deep meaning, if I go directly to see my father-in-law today, it will be a little inconvenient, and it will not be too late for me to ask tomorrow." ”

The next morning, the dynasty was over, Hua Chong and his wife pretended to go to Pang Mansion to finish eating, and during the banquet, Hua Chong asked about it, Pang Ji retreated left and right, and said to Hua Chong: "Chong'er, what did you say to the emperor yesterday?"

Hua Chong learned it truthfully, Pang Ji listened carefully, after Hua Chong finished speaking, Pang Ji's eyes closed slightly, carefully calculated, and only said after a long time: "Long live this move should be to reduce the feelings, I knew that the king of Xiangyang rebelled before, but Wang Chengxiang, Yue Wangye, Bao Zheng and you and me." Bao Zheng went to Chenzhou with you, if I went to Hongze Lake with you again, wouldn't I be noticed by the king of Xiangyang, if I went, it would not be easy to detect. Pang Ji said with a wry smile, picked up a glass of wine and drank it all: "Anyway, I have been a corrupt official all these years, and this opportunity to make money, I will pour it just right." ”

Hua Chong said to Pang Jixue again what Zhihua said before leaving: "Uncle Yue, I'm afraid of Banzai's move, I want to deal with us. ”

Pang Ji shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's impossible." The so-called cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. If the king of Xiangyang is not removed, the emperor will not do it. After that, Pang Ji drank another glass: "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger! This Zhihua is really a character! That's a good point!" After speaking, he raised another glass of wine: "I wish you this glass of wine." ”

After this meal, Hua Chong and Pang Feiyan left Pang Mansion, went home to pack up their things, and entered the palace early the next morning to bid farewell to Emperor Renzong and set foot on the road back to Hangzhou.

When they arrived in Hangzhou, Lu Fang handed over a letter to Hua Chong, the letter was written by Jiang Ping, Taihu Sanjian had been successfully convinced, they waited for news from Wu Ze, and once there was news, they set off and rushed to Hongze Lake.

After reading the letter, Hua Chong said to Lu Fang: "Brother Lu, teach everyone to pack up their things, let's go to Taihu Lake too, while they haven't left, let's go to meet the three swords of Taihu Lake!"
