The fourth master glanced at the big box, with a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes.
This time it was really dangerous.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly: "He Mao!"
He Mao stood outside the tent. When he heard the shouting, he immediately opened the curtain and walked in. "Fourth Master, please give me your orders."
Fourth Master pointed to the big box: "This is the gift that Madam asked someone to give you."
He Mao was stunned: "Why did Madam think of giving a gift to this subordinate? It's not a holiday, it's not a birthday."
"Let's see." Fourth Master raised his chin and motioned for him to open it.
He Mao held it in his hand and opened it gently. His expression suddenly changed, "This is... this is... Zhao Hanshan?" Although he has never seen Zhao Hanshan's person, he has seen Zhao Hanshan's portrait. Mr. Qingtian
The painting was lifelike. He would never forget this face in his dreams.
The fourth master nodded: "It can't be wrong." Neither he nor Lin Yutong had met, and He Mao said it must be. He originally wanted to ask Liu Shuquan to identify it, but thinking that this thing was not something that ordinary people could bear, he still put it
The words in his mouth were swallowed. Some people will have nightmares for most of the year after seeing the murder.
He Mao suddenly knelt down to Fourth Master: "Fourth Master, my great revenge must be avenged...Subordinate..."
Fourth Master waved his hand: "I happen to have something here that I need you to do."
He Mao stood up immediately: "Fourth Master, please speak."
The fourth master threw the military talisman to He Mao: "Sneak into the northwest one step early. If you can persuade him to surrender, he will persuade you to surrender. If you really don't surrender..."
He Mao nodded: "Fourth Master, don't worry."
"If King Zhao is in the northwest, it would be good if he could catch anyone alive. If he can't catch anyone alive, it would be fine if he died." Anyone who can think of blowing up the capital will not take the lives of innocent people into consideration at all.
People who are dead are dead.
He Mao responded solemnly, then turned around and went out.
After He Mao went out, Fourth Master slowly loosened his hand. The capital was so dangerous this time, and it makes people feel scared just thinking about it.
Now he just wants to make a quick decision and return to the capital as soon as possible.
In the evening, Hei Qi woke up and told Fourth Master in detail what happened in the capital.
"Madam, did you go to see Zhao Hanshan in person?" Fourth Master asked, squinting his eyes.
Hei Qi nodded: "I don't know how to explain it, but Zhao Hanshan firmly believes that the lady is not a lady, but a killer sent by King Zhao."
The Fourth Master snorted in his heart. She didn't write this in her letter. She just avoided the important things and mentioned them in one sentence.
The fourth master suppressed his annoyance and asked for details in detail. The more he asked, the darker his face became. It wasn't until midnight that the two of them finished talking. The fourth master replied to Lin Yutong and handed it to Hei Qi: "I'll tell you later by the way."
Madam, she has been grounded. Before I go back, she will stay in the house honestly."
Hei Qi looked embarrassed. How could he dare to say these words? But looking at Fourth Master's forbearing black face, he had no choice but to lower his head and accept.
"Go! Have another night's rest and return to the capital tomorrow. As long as you take good care of my wife, it will be a great achievement. Other things are not the most important." Fourth Master solemnly warned again before letting Hei Qi go.
leave.
When Hei Qi left, Wu Chunlai was about to help the Fourth Master rest when the Fourth Master waved his hand and said, "Call a few gentlemen to come over and discuss important matters."
Liu Shuquan and Li Jishan were both quite young. They were exhausted from marching for days, and now their whole bodies ached when they took a break. When they were woken up in the middle of the night, they thought something had happened.
"Junior brother, do you know?" Li Jishan wrapped his cloak around his body and asked against the wind.
Liu Shuquan chuckled: "Brother, someone is coming from the capital. I heard it's the Black Commander."
"Something happened in the capital?" Li Jishan looked at Liu Shuquan in shock.
Liu Shuquan shook his head: "There's something going on in the capital, that's for sure, but it's not just something happening in the capital, it's..."
"What?" Seeing that Liu Shuquan was trying to hide his identity again, Li Jishan couldn't help but ask again.
"This is Madam..." Liu Shuquan stopped talking in the middle of his sentence.
Li Jishan's eyes flashed: "Junior brother, you have thought about Fourth Master thoroughly."
Liu Shuquan nodded to Li Jishan: "Senior brother, what you said is really heart-breaking and heart-wrenching. It means you are unwilling to kill me."
Which person in a position of power wants to be thoroughly figured out?
Otherwise, there would be no such thing as "the power of God is unpredictable".
Fang Changqing caught up from behind and interjected: "Two gentlemen, let's go quickly. At least we slept in the middle of the night. I'm afraid the Fourth Master still hasn't closed his eyes yet."
People who lack sleep generally have bad tempers. Why don't you just wait and see?
The two of them stopped grinding their teeth and moved two points faster.
In the fourth master's tent, there was a strong aroma of tea. It seemed that he was refreshing himself with strong tea.
"Everyone, please sit down." The fourth master leaned on the low couch and pointed to the chair opposite.
He looked at the three people sitting down at once and said solemnly: "The previous plan has changed. The plan needs to be adjusted."
Li Jishan frowned: "Fourth Master, this order will be changed in the morning..." This is not good. It is not the Fourth Master's consistent style.
The fourth master waved his hand: "It's not that I want to change the order overnight, but the situation has indeed changed." He looked at Li Jishan and Liu Shuquan, "Zhao Hanshan is dead."
"Dead?" Fang Changqing was stunned, "How did you die? Killed by a subordinate?" We haven't even attacked the northwest yet, and the King of Han is dead. How do you say this?
Liu Shuquan was stunned for a moment and waved his hands repeatedly: "No! No! None. He should have died in the capital."
Li Jishan raised his eyes and looked at Liu Shuquan, looking puzzled: "I would like to hear the details."
Liu Shuquan raised his hand: "The black commander is here, but He Mao is gone. The Fourth Master also said that Zhao Hanshan is dead, so this can only be because Zhao Hanshan ran to the capital and was discovered by his wife, and then everything became logical." His tone changed.
He paused and looked at Fourth Master, "My subordinates understand that the reason why Zhao Hanshan went to the capital was because of King Zhao. Could it be that King Zhao went to the northwest?"
all hit!
The fourth master smiled and nodded, "So, the northwest policy needs to be changed again."
Liu Shuquan glanced at the fourth master and said in a low voice: "In this case, after the northwest, I am afraid that we will have to complete the founding of the country. Otherwise, the fourth master now holds the title of Duke of Zhenguo, how to deal with King Zhao? Everything must be justified and justified.
."
Fourth Master waved his hand: "We'll talk about this later, later. Let's talk about the matter at hand first."
This discussion continued until daybreak.
"Then let's do this. I'm going to send someone to deliver a letter to Li Fang today, asking Li Fang to cooperate with He Mao..." Fourth Master came to the conclusion that the matter is settled.
Several gentlemen walked out of Fourth Master's tent one after another and stretched themselves.
Seeing that Fang Changqing had left, Li Jishan turned to look at Liu Shuquan, "Junior brother, do you think you are particularly capable?"
"Brother, where did you say this?" Liu Shuquan turned his head and asked.
Li Jishan chuckled: "You are so capable. You don't need Fourth Master to say anything. You guessed it. In this world, is there no one else who can understand this except you?"
"Senior brother must have guessed it early on." Liu Shuquan cupped his hand, "But who told us to talk fast? I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I will restrain myself next time and give senior brother a chance."
Li Jishan waved his hand: "Aren't you tired of bullying stupid people? Junior brother, if you talk too much, you will make mistakes. You should understand this truth. You said, you can endure it better than the Fourth Master. Who can feel at ease and happy?
Looking through history books, people who are too smart and can show off their smartness will die the fastest. You'd better take it easy."
Liu Shuquan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Jishan in surprise: "Senior brother, isn't he very good at talking? Then what should I do with him?"
Li Jishan snorted coldly: "Fourth Master said that he had been thinking about it for half the night. You must say..."
"I've been thinking about it all night." Liu Shuquan said, "You have to look stupider than the superiors no matter what, right?"
Li Jishan looked at Liu Shuquan and said, "Don't you understand this in your heart?"
Liu Shuquan waved his hand: "Senior brother, you are not as good as me in taking the imperial examination. But in life, I am not as good as you." He paused, turned around and asked, "What do you think of Fourth Master's arrangement?"
Li Jishan looked around: "He Mao set out yesterday, and the fourth master didn't ask Li Fang to assist. Is this matter really going to have to be discussed for half a night? No matter how you look at it, it's unnecessary."
Liu Shuquan nodded: "This is the so-called power of heaven. Two parties assisted, but only Li Fang knew about it, not He Mao. What does this mean?"
"Is this assistance...and defense?" Li Jishan narrowed his eyes and asked.
Liu Shuquan nodded and shook his head: "You can't say that, this is a mutual check and balance. Use Li Fang to prevent He Mao from taking over power..." At this point, he pointed at Li Jishan and himself, "It's like the two of us. You are you, I am
It's me. If one day I become a person like you, then my brain will really be in danger."
After saying that, he handed over his hands and left quickly.
The corner of Li Jishan's mouth twitched. He had to say that there were not many people who could see clearly like him. He thought to himself: This fourth master doesn't look like a cowherd boy at all. He is very skillful in using the emperor's methods.
, it simply makes people feel cold!
After lunch, the army set off again.
And Hei Qi took Fourth Master's reply and hurriedly returned to the capital.
By the time Lin Yutong got the letter, another three days had passed.
"Go back and rest quickly. I'll give you three days off and have a good rest." Lin Yutong felt relieved and quickly dismissed Hei Qi.
Hei Qi was stunned for a long time before whispering: "Madam, the fourth master said that you are grounded. You are not allowed to leave the house." After saying that, he ran out as if he had been chased by a wolf.
Lin Yutong curled his lips and said, "Today's ban?" Don't mention it, this word is really new. But I haven't heard it in some years.
She hurriedly opened the letter, and the anger in the handwriting rushed to her face. After reading a lot of scoldings, she finally mentioned something serious.
"Gunpowder?" Lin Yutong patted his forehead, "How come you didn't think of such an important thing?" As long as this thing is used properly, it can be said that the imperial court's status in the hearts of the people can be reduced to the point of stepping on it.
