Before he returned to the room and sat down, Xu Zizhen called Liu Fengsui and Bu Fen in. The less people knew about the real thing, the better. A few of them would be enough to discuss it.
The fact that there was a traitor in Lanzhou City made Xu Zizhen feel as if there was a fish bone stuck in his throat. If he didn't remove it, he would have to have a decisive battle with Yu Size in a few days. If something went wrong at that point, it would be terrible.
We have lost all the games, and there is also the matter of the black fire. Who knows if it will suddenly appear in Xingzi Castle one day, and then we have to find a way to destroy it, which is another fatal job.
After listening to what Xu Zizhen said, including the conversation between Yuan Size and the eunuch, the two of them pondered. Xu Zizhen was impatient and couldn't help but said: "I said you should give me some advice, don't keep silent."
Bu Fen glanced at Liu Fengsui and said with a smile: "This kid doesn't use his own brain, so he came to rush us two."
Xu Zizhen said angrily: "Nonsense, why do I ask you if I can use my brain?"
Bu Fen said with a smile: "Don't worry about this traitor for now. I'm here to ask you, what is the other meaning of Yuan Size's words? Did you hear it?"
Xu Zizhen was startled: "What else does it mean? What does it mean?"
Bu Fen shook his head and said helplessly: "First, Yuan Size did not explain the defeat in detail. Although he did not want to expose the scandal, he also wanted to cover up the facts. Seeing that this person has different intentions, he is afraid that he will be in conflict with
The Xiao family is no longer as affectionate as before."
Xu Zizhen listened carefully and nodded repeatedly: "What else?"
"Secondly, he talked about the God of War of Lanzhou City, that is, brother you. The anxiety in his words was very obvious. It seems that Yuan Size is very jealous of you and wants to get rid of you quickly, but he has no good plan. In other words, Lanzhou
The traitors in the city are of no great use, at least they are not the closest relatives to Mr. Wen and Mr. Xiao Zhong."
Xu Zizhen interjected: "I've also thought of this. Didn't he say that the traitor couldn't find a chance and said he couldn't touch me? It's clear that he's a bit cowardly towards me."
Bu Fen said: "I'm scared, but it's not necessarily because of you. Let's talk about that... Thirdly, there is not enough food and grass in Fu Size, which means that the rear of Xixia is also in chaos. Otherwise, there is no reason why the army has been out of food and grass.
?If Xixia is not at war with other countries and has no time to take care of both, it is Xia Chongzong who has already started to secretly compete with the Xiao family."
Xu Zizhen looked at Bu Fen blankly, as if he was meeting him for the first time. He suddenly jumped up and slapped his hands: "Damn it! Brother Bu, you are so clever! You are both civil and military! I don't know what that person is."
Who is Master Qi? Otherwise, I will definitely recommend you there, so you can have some fun as a first- and second-grade person."
Bu Fen looked at him with strange eyes: "You don't know who Master Qi is?"
Xu Zizhen was stunned: "Do you know?"
Liu Fengsui laughed and interjected: "Brother, you look smart, why haven't you guessed it yet? Even Yu Size said that he is the seventh eldest son of the Zhao family, so why do you still need to guess? Of course he is the third in the official family.
Seven sons."
"The seventh son of the official family?" Xu Zizhen jumped up, "You mean the emperor's son? That is... the seventh prince?"
Bu Fen and Liu Feng nodded at the same time: "Exactly!"
Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, Seventh Prince? Who is that unlucky guy? What a shame that he didn't study hard at that time. He didn't know how many sons Huizong had, and who the seventh one was. After knowing the shame of Jingkang, he also
Only Prince Kang and Zhao Gou got the advantage, and none of the other princes had a bright future.
However, the seventh prince seems to be quite important, otherwise the traitor would not be afraid of him and would not dare to touch him. By this time, he was too lazy to wonder how the seventh prince knew about him. Anyway, he
There is such a backstage inexplicably. The two important things now are the traitor and the black fire.
Xu Zizhen walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back for a few times. There was no way to solve the black fire issue at the moment. He could only wait and see what happened. At worst, he would find someone to burn it after it was transported. It would be okay to say whether it would work or not, but the traitor must.
Solve it as soon as possible. Before the arrow is used, no one in my group can get out, so I have to ask Du Jin to make another trip.
After Du Jin arrived, he heard what Xu Zizhen said and readily agreed: "Now that Yu Size is using me in a more important position, it won't be difficult for me to make up an excuse to leave the city and come here."
"Then it's hard work for Uncle Du." Xu Zizhen no longer hesitated, found a pen and paper and wrote a few names, thought about it and added an extra line, then folded the paper and handed it to Du Jin.
He had repeatedly considered these possible names. He asked Du Jin to give the paper to Shui Liuli privately and let her deal with it. Shui Liuli was good at skills and quick in reaction. The key was that she was now Xu Zizhen's woman.
Yes, the credibility is enough.
Du Jin put away the note and left. Liu Fengsui couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what should we do next?"
Xu Zizhen stretched and yawned loudly: "Don't do anything, rest."
The food here is very good, there are enough beef and mutton cakes, and there are two jars of wine in the evening. Yuan Size also hopes to see the muskets early, so naturally he will not wrong them during the meal. Xu Zizhen lay on the bed and touched his stomach.
In the past few days, the meat has grown a lot.
However, he did not really rest and do nothing. He still had to work as usual during the day. At least these two days when Yuan Size came to inspect, he had seen rows of half-finished muskets. At night, after everyone had rested, he
I started to sit cross-legged and meditate, and continued to practice the Jiuyang Sutra.
He had been seriously injured in the previous battles. Although he was in good health and had recovered from his injuries, he still needed to slowly adjust internally. There was still a real highlight waiting for him next.
There was no need to be careless, but Fong Size provided a good environment. With no one disturbing him, Xu Zizhen's lost internal energy gradually recovered day by day.
Du Jin unknowingly made a trip to Lanzhou and returned a long time ago. During the day, he supervised the work in the yard and pretended to be cool. At night, he went into Xu Zizhen's house to discuss the next action together. Ji Shou, another underground engineer, could not come here, but he
But he can go there occasionally, and the progress of the extreme artillery is under his control.
After overhearing Yuan Size's words from the tunnel that day, Xu Zizhen made another arrangement. Every night when he learned Qinggong, he would go out and have a look around. Whatever he saw and heard, he would write it down and report back together.
On Bu Fen's side, Bu Big Beard has been traversing the Northwest Road for many years. He belongs to the old world of thieves and thieves, and no trouble can be hidden from him.
There were a lot of trivial things on weekdays, and even Bu Fen couldn't find any special significance. However, five days later, the news brought back by someone from the Tianxiahui made Bu Fen cheer up.
"Seventeen people were killed in the Xixia army today."
Bu Fen quickly asked: "Why were you beheaded?"
The man said: "I was hiding in the dark and heard it. It seemed that those people secretly killed a war horse and ate it."
Now even Xu Zizhen understood. He stood up suddenly, looked at each other with Bu Fen, and said in unison: "The Xixia people don't have enough military rations!"
