The Military Aircraft Department has moved out of the palace, not far from Pei Jin's private residence.At this time, the lights in the room were brightly lit, and the people discussing the matter had just dispersed.

Pei Jin was sitting in front of the desk, planning to write a high-sounding excerpt.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a military order, he smiled, and his little tailor really guessed it right by accident.

He has no interest in writing this nonsense, and he has always hated fake and empty formulas, so he only intends to be concise and to the point, and deal with it in one go.

Look at the time again, it is almost midnight.Not far away, there should be someone waiting for him to go back.

It's just that he was physically and mentally exhausted, he pondered, and went through all kinds of nonsense that constantly involved energy in his mind.

The Qian Chuanzi, headed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, have always only had the word money in their eyes. What they care about is winning the battle, how much compensation they can get from the emperor, and how much tribute they can get from Li Chao. Jeju was also used as a ceded land and compensated to Dayan.

The cabinet and the Ministry of Industry are coveting new warships, laying railroad tracks, building steam locomotives and many other projects. In the future, Hao will borrow money from big merchants who have an inextricable relationship with them. When the news is released, people in the market have already started to move.

The emperor himself was very obedient, talking about the rule of Chuigong all day long, and leaving all his ideas to the military and the cabinet.In private, he had a lot of heart-to-heart conversations with a group of people, and he told all the "thumbs" to follow Pei Jin's lead.

——He emptied others, and of course they wanted to put him on the stove.

In the final analysis, they are all the same, but it depends on who wins the game.Now the military power has become the biggest bargaining chip, and whoever holds it, the momentum and luck will be turned to that side accordingly.

Looking up and closing his eyes, Pei Jin's heart is like a mirror, and it is actually not a good time to lead the army to go out at this moment.

The emperor's body is weak, and it has been getting worse since he took the throne. He was only four years old at the beginning of the month, and he was just a baby in the eyes of civil and military officials.Also in the eyes of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, if the emperor collapses one day, if this momentum continues, he, Pei Jin, will be the only one in the court.

It is not a new thing for the Minister Gu Ming to become the Supreme Emperor, and it is a result that can be imagined with his toes.

Now that he could think of it, the emperor would set up defenses, and the ministers and workers who planned strategies for the restoration of imperial power, of course, would also set up defenses.

Using him to go out to fight, liquidate the young reformers he supported, and plan to "return the government" to the emperor, these things have actually been planned in secret long ago.

Pei Jin kept silent, looking at circles of yellow light haloed by the lights. In that circle of light, there was a tiny moth persistently trying to get close to the light source. Although it was scorched, it still lingered for a long time. .

At this time, someone pushed the door and entered. It was Jin Sheng, the servant of the Ministry of War. This person was his confidant who was single-handedly promoted. He also had friendship with him in the early years.

Seeing that he didn't know why he was thinking, Jin Sheng knew that he was definitely not thinking about how to word that shitty military order, so he coughed softly, "Xing Zhan, I still don't recommend you go in person, you want to bring new recruits to the navy, and you need to inspect them." The launching status of the two new ships is nothing more than a military parade. The more they push you, the more hype they boast, the less at ease I feel."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Li Chao is such a small place, it doesn't matter if you don't pay attention to it, it won't be too late to clean it up when you have free hands in the future."

"Jishan, by the side of the couch, sleeping with a son who wants to bite you at any time, what will you do?" Pei Jin suddenly opened his eyes, asked with a light smile, and then replied with a light smile, "I will Pull out its canine teeth before its fur grows."

After a pause, he continued, "There are Westerners behind the shogunate. This group of people is now called the Allied Forces. In fact, most of them are mercenaries from the Holy See. Let them take down North Korea. Sooner or later, they will cross Tumen and eat into the border of Liaodong."

Jin Sheng was silent, sighed, and shook his head again, "It's just a small country, even if you have ambitions, you must have a big enough appetite."

Pei Jin raised his eyebrows slowly, and asked slowly, "Then how did the Mongols destroy Zhao Song back then?"

Jin Sheng choked immediately, and didn't think of how to answer for a while.

After a while, he said, "Forget it, those left behind by the military plane this time are all capable ministers. Let's cut through the mess quickly and strive for an early class teacher."

Pei Jin looked at him and smiled, sat up straight and was about to draw a pen when he suddenly saw a school captain come in, first handed in a letter, and then said, "You Shen is coming, he said he has something important to report."

When the words fell, You Heng stepped in. Seeing that Jin Sheng was also sitting here, he had no choice but to put his face full of anxiety in the posture of reining in his horse from a precipice. Then at a glance, on that dark face, only A touch of unspeakable shame.

Pei Jin glanced at it and immediately understood what happened, so he didn't need to talk nonsense, he just waved his hand at him, then opened the letter, glanced roughly, but couldn't help but sneered.

Throwing the letter to You Heng, the latter took a quick look and his face turned greener. Unexpectedly, the letter was sent by the kidnapper. The purpose of people, and the conditions for saving people.

"This... is because the subordinates didn't take care of it well, so I'll take people there right away."

"I was hiding in the Xishan Col, and I've been a cat for a month, and the landmines in front and back have already been buried." Pei Jin looked at him and asked, "You are going to blow yourself up into a firework for me when you go this way. Salute when you are strong? You are very colorful, but it is a pity that I am not interested in watching."

You Heng lost his temper due to his repeated losses and runs, stared blankly and felt timid, nervous and ashamed speechless, he had no choice but to look down at the ground.

"This is... the person you arranged to use earlier?" Jin Sheng looked at the content of the letter and said hesitantly, "I tied him up at this juncture, and said that I would expose him to the ministers of various countries. This is the truth of the matter, the foreigners are worrying about having no excuse to send troops to aid the shogunate, and the English warships are currently moored in the open sea."

"This matter should not be underestimated, in my opinion..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Jin interrupted with raised hand, there is no need to listen any more, he knew Jin Sheng too well, the suggestion was nothing more than to send a death squad to kill both the kidnapper and the kidnapped, so as not to cause any harm.

It's just a small job, and in any case, this person can't spoil the overall situation.

Pei Jin didn't speak, facing the halo, and asked after a while, "Is the secret passage dug by the surname Meng still there?"

You Heng said he was there, but then hesitantly said, "But since the bombing of that old thief's lair, half of the road has been cut off. It may be too late to dig now."

"Then blow it up and lead people in through the secret path." Pei Jin immediately said, "At that time, the front mountain and the back mountain will be bombed together, and we will save people when there is chaos."

"It's so big?" Jin Sheng recalled it, and couldn't imagine it, "Xing Zhan, is this detail important?"

Pei Jin had already stood up when he asked the question, put on the cloak and fastened the belt, and then said with a calm smile, "Important, please trouble Ji Shan to finish writing the paper for me, sign it with my private seal, I will not leave it tonight." came back."

After speaking, he lifted his foot and left. It was obvious that he wanted to save the person himself, and Jin Sheng looked stupid. He was about to ask You Heng a few more questions, but he followed him quickly, resolutely, He strode away without looking back.

Jin Sheng was left in the same place, feeling a burst of embarrassment, but Pei Xingzhan personally rescued him. The significance of this meticulous work seems to be extraordinary...

At the same time, he woke up slowly, with constant tinnitus, and the sound was so chaotic that it almost entered his head like a magic sound. He slowly opened his eyes, and during the back and forth time from dark to light, he only felt a headache that was about to explode.

Looking down, he seemed to be tied into a rice dumpling, his hands were tied back on the back of the chair, and the thick hemp ropes around his fingers were wrapped around his wrists, neck, and chest. There was a rough frictional pain.

These can be tolerated, but the throat is about to smoke. Out of the corner of the eye, there are four or five people dressed as warriors sitting or standing, with torches lit around them, and someone is wiping a long knife in the light. .

At the same time, there was no sound, and no one seemed to notice that he was awake.Looking closely, I have no idea where I am right now, I just vaguely feel a sense of déjà vu, very similar to the Thieves' Cave that was blown up by Pei Jin that day.

But the guys who tied him up were obviously a group of Dongying people, but they didn't know whether they were on behalf of Qianji or Jin Yue's remnant party. Anyway, no matter who they were, they had waited and lurked for so long, and they were definitely going to make things worse.

——That is definitely not just for him.

And he is still alive, which proves that the Dongpu people are not just looking for revenge.Could it be that he still has other value to use?

His mind was spinning desperately, thinking about the reason why this group of people kidnapped him instead of killing him. Could he be used to blackmail Pei Jin, so as to teach him not to send troops?When the thought came together, he himself laughed, it was too illogical!

Normal people know that it is absolutely impossible, even though he can recall the remaining warmth on his forehead after the kiss in the morning, he still believes that Pei Jin will never run aground because of anyone.

No clue, the body is severely dehydrated, the blood is thick and coagulated, as if it is not going to the head at all, and even the IQ is declining.He really couldn't figure out why, so he didn't intend to pretend to be dead anymore.

Making a slight struggle, it immediately attracted the attention of the group of people effectively.

"The kid woke up..."

Immediately there was a shout, "Don't move around!" Seeing the same person, he didn't respond, and the samurai who was walking forward yelled, "What about you, are you fucking deaf?"

At the same time, he stopped the so-called struggle and licked his lips with difficulty.

The samurai frowned suddenly, wondering for a moment whether the tongue of the person in front of him was also tied up, how could such a small movement be so painful?

"Don't play tricks, if you dare to be honest, I will cut off one of your fingers first."

Looking at him with a stern attitude, the same guy couldn't help but slander, what kind of idea can a zongzi do, and the guns on his body have been confiscated by you, who is tying who?

He licked his lips again, and felt that every cell in his body was clamoring for thirst. He swallowed the spittle that had accumulated for a long time, and reluctantly said, "I have no idea, I'm just thirsty. Could you give me some water?"

There was a trace of suspicion in the warrior's eyes, and he thought to himself that even if he didn't drink water for half a day in this winter, he shouldn't be so thirsty.How did he know that at the same time, he was also thinking about this issue—it's only because the Xiao family who served Tong Min was too deceitful. Death does not pay for life.

The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, tears came out of the corners of his eyes, he only regretted that his tongue was not long enough, otherwise he really wanted to stretch it out and lick it clean, at this moment he really didn't want to let go of even half a drop of liquid.

"Have you thought about it enough?" Tong Ze urged weakly, "If you don't plan to kill me for a while, please reward me with some saliva. At least let me be a wet ghost before we go on the road."

The samurai didn't know whether to frown or to frown, looking at the young man who was tied up in front of him, from waking up to now, he was neither frightened nor frightened, neither begged for mercy nor asked questions.

He looked up and down, and felt more and more that the person's eyes were light and clear, and at a certain moment, he thought of Youyouyuan Mountain inexplicably.After thinking about it, I thought back to what my companion had explained, that this kid was just relying on his face to deceive people, and he felt that he couldn't take it lightly.

However, this request can still be fulfilled. The warrior took a jar of water, raised his head roughly and poured it down. One drank anxiously, and the other fed Lu, and the front lapel was soon soaked. Distressed so much that it is a pity to secretly sigh again and again.

"Is there anything else..." Taking a breath, he asked the same.

"Hold it, do you think you're an uncle!" The warrior roared and pushed his head away forcefully.

People under the eaves can only know the current affairs... At the same time, he slowly raised his still red eyes, and slowly looked at the five short people in front of him.

After a while, he suddenly smiled leisurely.

The samurai froze for a moment, then glared and shouted, "What are you laughing at?"

"Did I smile?" The same one asked, the corners of his mouth twitching up and down.

"Bastard," the samurai cursed in his native language, "I'm just laughing now, what's so funny? Do you think you can get out alive?"

Hearing these words, people's hearts sank, but the same face remained calm, "I'm guessing, when are you going to kill me?"
