When Wen Yanbo came out from Zhuojun's left-behind mansion again, it was ten days later. During these ten days, Wen Yanbo felt like he was in a dream, although Du Ruhui occasionally asked him about Deng Hao's rebellion. Some details, but for most of the time, the two of them just drank tea, drank, watched theater, and listened to music. Then they talked about the past and the present, recited poems, and discussed literary matters. By the way, Gao Changqing, who stayed behind in Zhuojun, occasionally He would also join, and one day Gao Changqing even took him out of the city to hunt together.

Let's say that Wen Yanbo came out of the left-behind residence and returned to the inn where he stayed. His luggage was still there, as were the two entourages who accompanied him, and the ten soldiers and two coachmen responsible for escorting the evidence had returned to Beiping County in advance. Reported to Luo Yi.

"Mr. Wen is back!" The two attendants couldn't help being surprised and happy when they saw that Wen Yanbo was finally back, but their eyes were obviously a little strange.

Wen Yanbo is now also a mute eating yellow lotus. He can't express his pain. He can only nod his head and ask: "Have General Luo sent anyone to inquire these days?"

The attendant replied: "Yes, and I was sent twice. I heard that Mr. Wen was still staying in the mansion, so I went back."

Wen Yanbo became even more bitter after hearing this. First, he was left alone by Gao Chang for half a month, and then he was "warmly entertained" by Gao Changqing for ten days. A month had passed. General Luo was a very suspicious person. God knows what he would think? Oh, now the yellow mud is really falling into his crotch - it's not just shit, it's shit.

It would be fine if Gao Changqing kept detaining him, but ended up "treating" him for ten days and then letting him go again. This was such a destructive move!

"Mr. Wen, what are your plans next?" two attendants asked cautiously.

Wen Yanbo glanced at the two of them and said calmly: "I have returned to Xinchang County to report to the general."

The two attendants looked at each other, and one of them asked doubtfully, "Reinstatement? What about the case of Deng Hao's rebellion..."

"The case is closed." Wen Yanbo said calmly.

The two attendants were surprised and said in disbelief: "This...is the case closed?"

Wen Yanbo was also a little confused at the moment. He didn't understand what kind of medicine Gao Bufan was selling in his gourd. He nodded and said: "The facts of Deng Hao's rebellion case are clear, and there are both witnesses and material evidence. Mr. Gao has sent people to inquire and investigate clearly. It is confirmed that it is There is no doubt that Deng Hao is plotting rebellion, and he has already stated in front of me that he will report the truth to the court."

The two attendants were surprised and happy, and blurted out: "Great, I didn't expect this tall man to be so easy to talk to. It seems that the general's worries are purely unnecessary. We all misjudged it. If we had known better, there would be no need to be nervous." "

Wen Yanbo secretly shook his head, but even he couldn't understand Gao Changqing's intention. It was surprising that these two errand boys could understand the mystery.

Wen Yanbo has always prided himself on being smart and talented, but when facing Gao Changqing, he actually felt frustrated that he was being manipulated. To use a fashionable saying, he was crushed by his IQ.

"Mr. Wen, when will we leave back to Xinchang County?" the attendant asked.

Wen Yanbo said calmly: "It's not too late. Let's pack up and set off now."

"Okay!" The two attendants happily packed their luggage, picked up their horses, and the three of them left the city.

Not long after Wen Yanbo left the city, the news was reported to the left-behind residence. After hearing the report, Gao Bufan hurriedly asked Wen Yanbo's direction of leaving the city.

When he learned that Wen Yanbo was heading towards Beiping County, he couldn't help but express admiration and said: "It is a matter of loyalty to someone who has been entrusted by others. It shows that Wen Yanbo is a loyal person."

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "Wen Yanbo is quite talented and proficient in Korean, Khitan and Turkic languages. He is a good talent. I hope that you can spare his life."

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "Even if he has no talent, what would I want to do with his life? But after returning this time, Wen Yanbo's situation may not be good. Luo Yi is cunning and suspicious. Even if he doesn't kill him, he won't Let’s not use him again.”

Du Ruhui nodded in agreement.

Gao Bufan stood up and stretched and said: "In a few days, I will invite Luo Yi to hunt and inform Shiji to prepare. It has been delayed for more than a month. This guy must be dealt with before the end of the year, so as not to miss the start of next spring. farming season."

Du Ruhui smiled and said: "After casting the net for so long, it's time to close it. My subordinates will send someone to inform Xiao Xu. By the way, Lao Wei has recently recruited 10,000 new soldiers. Do you want to continue?"

Gao Bufan pondered for a moment and said: "Let's pause. Soldiers are more valuable than more. Ten thousand is enough, otherwise the financial burden will be too heavy. We must first make the people of Youzhou rich."

Du Ruhui heard the words and praised: "My lord is wise. As the saying goes, when the people are rich below, the king will be rich above. When the people are rich, the country will naturally be strong. Now, people like your lord can be far-sighted and steady." There are really not many left. Even a wise and thoughtful person like Li Mi will inevitably be eager for quick success. He will open warehouses and put out grains to recruit troops and buy horses. He only seeks quantity and not quality. Even if he has millions of soldiers, it will be nothing more than a flash in the pan.

As everyone knows, the only way to make a living with the people is to build a solid foundation. If you blindly open warehouses and release food, no matter how rich your family is, it will be exhausted sooner or later. Continuously allowing the people to produce is the long-term solution for politicians! "

Gao Bufan felt the same way and said: "Yes, the economic base determines the superstructure. To forge iron, you need to be strong yourself!"

Du Ruhui's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "The economic base determines the superstructure. Your Majesty's words are too subtle. I have to write them down. From now on, all the famous sayings and aphorisms uttered by your Majesty must be recorded by a dedicated person."

Gao Bufan secretly sweated and said, "Mr. Du, there's no need to be so exaggerated, right?"

Du Ruhui smiled and said: "Every time you have something new and startling, it is sobering. Wouldn't it be nice to record it to warn future generations?"

"Well, then Du Sheng is free to do whatever he wants." Gao Bufan was sweating. He just had to give himself a whole copy of "Gao's Quotations" by then.

However, Du Ruhui later gave him the entire "Quotations of Emperor Gaozu" and included it in "Ben Ji".

Let's get back to the topic, let's say that Wen Yanbo returned to Xinchang County. Luo Yide immediately met him after hearing about it, and immediately asked: "Why has Mr. Wen been away for so long?"

Wen Yanbo then told what happened in detail, even the matter of Gao Bufan taking him hunting. Obviously, Wen Yanbo also knew that Luo Yi was suspicious, so he made no reservations to avoid causing unnecessary suspicion. .

However, Wen Yanbo still underestimated Luo Yi's suspicious character. After the latter listened to his explanation, he was still doubtful. Of course, Luo Yi still showed great trust in Wen Yanbo on the surface and said happily: "This time it is really hard for Wen Yanbo." Sir, I didn’t expect Gao Changqing to be so easy to talk to, so I can sit back and relax from now on."

Wen Yanbo opened his mouth and hesitated to speak. Luo Yi's eyes flashed and he asked with a smile: "Mr. Wen, do you have anything to say?"

Wen Yanbo hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head. He still didn't know why Gao Changqing let Luo Yi go so easily, so he couldn't say more to avoid making mistakes.

A hint of undetectable coldness flashed in Luo Yi's eyes, and he said calmly: "Mr. Wen has had a hard time on this trip. Let's go back to bathe, change clothes and rest for half a day. Tonight, I will hold a banquet for Mr. Wen."

Wen Yanbo then bowed and left.

As soon as Wen Yanbo left, Xue Wanjun hurriedly asked: "General, do you think Wen Yanbo's words are credible?"

Luo Yi sneered and said: "How can we allow others to sleep soundly next to the bed? This general has occupied Beiping County, which is undoubtedly a thorn in Gao Changqing's side. How could he let me go so easily? So it is absolutely impossible."

Xue Wanche immediately nodded and said: "Yes, my subordinates also think it is absolutely impossible. Gao Changqing is very vicious."

Xue Wanjun's expression changed slightly and he said: "Doesn't that mean that Wen Yanbo might have become a traitor and secretly defected to Gao Changqing?"

Luo Yi looked gloomy. He did have suspicions in this regard, but he was also worried that it was Gao Bufan's counterintuitive plot to deliberately sow discord between himself and the mastermind.

Xue Wanche said in a deep voice: "Wen Yanbo enjoys good food and accommodation in the left-behind residence, and even goes hunting with Gao Changqing. It is really possible that he was bribed. Of course, this may also be Gao Changqing's plan to alienate him. This kid is very shady, so we have to guard against him."

"It's better to believe that he has something than to believe that he doesn't have it. The general should temporarily distance himself from Mr. Wen in the future. Don't mention important matters to him again, and wait for a clear observation in secret before making any moves." Xue Wanjun suggested.

Luo Yishen nodded in agreement: "What you say makes sense. Gao Changqing is too cunning. I don't know what he is planning. Send the order and be on guard to prevent Gao Changqing from suddenly attacking us while we are relaxed."

Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche immediately took the order and left. While strengthening their guard, they also continued to recruit new soldiers.

A few days later, Gao Bufan suddenly sent a messenger to Xinchang County and delivered an invitation to Luo Yi.

Luo Yi was surprised and suspicious. He quickly opened the invitation and took a look, his expression immediately became strange.

Since Wen Yanbo has been refrigerated by Luo Yi, he is not present at the moment. Only the Xue brothers and several other counselors are present.

"General, did Gao Changqing summon you to Ji County again?" counselor Lu Qi asked.

Luo Yi shook his head and said: "No, Gao Changqing invited me to go hunting in Beishan this time?"

"Hunting in Beishan?" The Xue brothers and several counselors couldn't help but look strange, because Beishan is within Xinchang County. Does Gao Changqing dare to step into the boundaries of Xinchang County? Isn't he afraid of sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?

Lu Qi frowned and said, "What does Gao Changqing want to do?"

A cold light flashed in Luo Yi's eyes, and he said with a ferocious smile: "He dares to come to Beishan, am I still afraid of him?"

Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche looked at each other, and the former said excitedly: "Yes, Beishan is our territory. Are we still afraid of Gao Changqing? Instead of worrying about him all the time, we might as well take this opportunity to kill him, and it will be over once and for all."

When Luo Yi heard this, he became a little eager to try. He turned his eyes and said, "I will delay him for a few days before replying. During this period, I will first find out the movements of Gao Changqing's troops and make a decision."
