Second minister and thief

If the Dongchuang incident happened, the trust and tranquility that he had won so hard for the Mobei Army would be destroyed. At that time, the emperor would have more reasons to send his troops north to get rid of his confidant's serious troubles.And he has no way to escape, so he can only kill in this capital.

"General, I have a guess... I don't know if I should say it or not."

"You say." As time went by, Xiao Cen became more and more impatient, and his face became more and more gloomy. He bent his fingers, tapped the table lightly and rhythmically, and waited for the other party to speak.

"The subordinates guess that this person is so crazy, maybe he just wants to avenge the old general. Then he must be the old general's old department!"

"But didn't the old general's old department have... almost gone in the bitter battle back then?"

"Someone must have survived."

"General, you mean... incognito?"

"Well. Follow this clue to find out. After three days, give me a name. Also, you must be careful and don't let anyone know. Go."

"Yes! General."

"General, are you worried about that Chu man? Tell me, you don't need to be so afraid of him. If this man dares to do something..."

"Who said that the Marquis is afraid of him?" Xiao Cen glared at the subordinates who refused to leave for so long, and there was a sense of embarrassment in his words, even the roots of his ears blushed quietly.

"Then, my lord, you are..." Yan Qi realized that, after seeing him for a few days, he had become more and more incomprehensible to the coach.He still remembered the night when the imperial decree was first issued, and several people gathered together to discuss countermeasures like now.At that time, Xiao Cen was dressed in night clothes, which made his expression more serious, giving him an aura that he didn't have during the day.Although he didn't lose his temper, his eyes were red, obviously he was holding back.But now...Yan Qi searched hard in the poor knowledge in his belly, and felt that Xiao Cen's expression at this moment can be described in four words, that is "complexion with spring".

But although he felt strange, he didn't think much about it.

At this time, Xiao Cen also realized that he was a little bit out of control, so he put away his inappropriate expression, and said with a fake cough, "Benhou spent the past few days with Master Chu, and found that he is not as evil-hearted and sinful as outsiders say. , On the contrary, he has his own persistence, and even...he has some kindness that most people don't have."

"Good?!" The rest of the people yelled when they heard the words, and looked at their coach in disbelief.They estimated that they would never have thought that this word would be associated with Chu Linqiu, a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people.

"General! Have you been poisoned by this guy? Have you forgotten the danger of Pingdu back then? If this guy hadn't followed the saint to slander us and didn't take us seriously, the Xiao family army wouldn't have suffered heavy casualties!"

"There may be something hidden about this matter. What's more, the crisis and difficulties back then were all because we rushed forward and could not blame others."

"General!!!"

"Okay!" Xiao Cen raised his hand suddenly, stopping their next words, "There is no need to say such things. Three days later, this Marquis will get married, and he will become a real husband and wife with that Chu Linqiu. Wait When you meet him in the future, you must be as respectful and courteous as you were when you met Ben Hou, and you must not be so reckless as today."

"General!!!"

Yan Qi wanted to say something, but was dragged back in time by the person behind him with his arms around his shoulders. The person winked at him, and then he cupped his fists at Xiao Cen and said, "We must obey the general's order."

"En." Xiao Cen nodded in satisfaction. He got up and walked around the house, and finally his eyes fell on a painting of "Tiger Descending the Mountain". There is dissatisfaction. But have you ever thought about why the Marquis would do this?"

"..." Several people looked at each other in front of the table, and after a while, someone replied hesitantly, "Forbearance?"

"But General, most of the Mobei Army has safely returned to the Northland, so you really don't need to compromise..."

"Yes, General! At that time, as long as you raise your arms and shout, we will... raise troops!"

"What did you say?!" Hearing this, Xiao Cen raised his hand and tore off the painting on the wall and threw it on the ground. He suddenly turned around and glared at the person who had just spoken, took a deep breath and said softly, "What did you say? Say it again."

"Uh...we..."

"General, calm down! Xiao Wu is just talking for a while!"

"Quick talk for a while? I'll let you talk fast!" No one thought that Xiao Cen would suddenly frantically pick up the painting on the ground, roll it up twice, and hit Yan Qi heavily on the back with it.

Yan Qizhi let out a muffled snort of pain, but he didn't dare to hide, he just shrank his body and silently endured the "storm wind and rain" that fell on his back again and again.Fortunately, after a while, Xiao Cen was also tired, he threw the scroll and sat down on the chair again.

"Have you ever thought about what the Mobei Army fought in all directions in the first place?! Is it just the court? Is it just for your own safety? No, it's for the common people in the world. The saint has already had a rift against us because of this, but we ourselves I can't help but think. Is it my husband who wants to raise troops after being wronged?"

"Then we can..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Cen interrupted roughly, "If grandfather had a spirit in the sky, would he have the heart to watch the world that had finally settled down become strife again?!" Xu Shi was still a little excited, his whole face was full of excitement. It was flushed red, and his chest heaved violently.

His emotions seemed to be a little out of control today, Xiao Cen couldn't help racking his brains to think about why he lost his temper so much.Is it really because you are worried that the situation you have finally created will be destroyed by stupid people?Is it really because the subordinates said they wanted to "raise troops"?

No, it's not.

He was afraid that Chu Linqiu would misunderstand him.

The misunderstanding was related to him, Xiao Cen, and was even instigated by him!

But he couldn't rush forward to explain, he could only try his best to cover it, so he was panicked.

"General, general."

"En." The sudden call interrupted Xiao Cen's thoughts, he calmed down, raised his eyelids, and looked at the person coming.I saw Yan Qi being held by two people, standing there awkwardly.

After a while, he hummed softly, "General, Yan Qi knew he was wrong..."

"What did you say? Ben Hou didn't hear clearly."

"General! Yan Qi knew he was wrong!" Yan Qi suddenly closed his eyes and snarled, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw his coach looking at him sullenly.But those who are familiar with him know that his anger has dissipated. Several people glanced at each other and couldn't help showing joy on their faces.

"Come on, get out." Xiao Cen waved his hands casually, showing a gesture of impatience, "I don't want any extra problems these two days."

"..."

"Tao can't let anyone die anymore."
