A little later, Wu Fuqian staggered to Xiao Bowen's tent with a jug of wine, and the guards outside the tent stopped him, but Wu Fuqian staggered and said, "You know I Who is it? How dare you stop me?"

Just when the guard was about to say something, the person in the tent suddenly said, "Let him in."

Wu Fuqian smiled lightly, then staggered into the tent with the jug in hand.

At this time, Xiao Bowen was sitting in the center of the tent, with a large stack of books on the table in front, and the same map as in Yang Ming's tent on the back.

Wu Fuqian walked up to him pretending to be drunk, and said with a light smile, "Come on, let's have a drink."

Xiao Bowen didn't look up at him, but shrugged, sat on the spot, and said impatiently: "You are not in General Yang's tent, what are you doing here?"

Wu Fuqian snorted softly, then walked down the steps, stood in front of Xiao Bowen, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "I came here to find the prime minister. I thought I was going to fight for the emperor, so the general should be Master Xiao. I didn't expect It turned out to be someone else."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Bowen said with a pun.

"It's nothing." Wu Fuqian put the jug on the table, then turned around to look at the tent door behind him, and murmured, "It's really hard to describe it for you to be a prime minister."

Xiao Bowen was not happy when he heard it, he immediately got up and came to Wu Fuqian, and said angrily: "Who are you, how dare you speak to me like this?"

Wu Fuqian changed his image of being drunk just now, and said sternly, "I am whoever you think I am."

"You..." Before Xiao Bowen could finish speaking, Wu Fuqian lowered his voice and said, "The lord wants me to tell you that the matter is almost done, and I hope you can lead the army to the capital as soon as possible."

Surprise flashed across Xiao Bowen's face, and he held Wu Fugan's hand unconsciously, "What you said is true?"

"I'm just an ordinary person. If it wasn't because of the Lord, how would I know such a confidential matter?" Wu Fuqian walked into the tent and said softly, "The Lord asked me to tell you that the Emperor is very obedient."

"Great, it finally succeeded this time." Xiao Bowen clapped his hands excitedly and said.

"But now Yang Ming seems to be very dissatisfied with you. Are you sure he will go to the capital with you? And those muskets..." Wu Fuqian asked hesitantly.

Xiao Bowen smiled confidently: "Don't worry, he already wanted to go. Even if I didn't ask him, he would definitely go. Now it's just a matter of time."

"That's good. My lord said that I hope it can be done as soon as possible." Wu Fuqian repeated, "For this matter, my lord has exhausted many years of hard work, and she feels too tired."

Xiao Bowen's expression darkened suddenly, and he said, "After you go back, tell her that no matter whether she is tired or not, she must stand up to me. Now is the critical moment, and she must not slack off in any way."

"This is natural, but..." Wu Fuqian looked embarrassed, making Xiao Bowen suspicious, "What happened?"

"Actually, it's nothing, the Lord won't let me tell you, but I always feel something is wrong, so... I don't know if I should say it." Wu Fuqian's expression was in place, and Xiao Bowen's curiosity was really aroused, "You Say, does she have any ideas?"

"Your Excellency should know that Mo Liying's strength is no longer to be feared, and the lord has gained trust in front of the emperor after this incident." Wu Fuqian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his thoughts seemed to be far away, "but the lord I have been speculating, could this be the emperor using her to carry out a big purge for himself?"

"You mean, she suspects that the emperor has ulterior motives?" Xiao Bowen's eyes also became sharp, and he walked to the table, the candle seemed to know people's affairs, and it moved without wind.

"Yes, in Dongpu, the emperor has almost no prestige, and the military power is in the hands of the magistrates. This time, all the officials in the court almost overwhelmingly chose to believe in the lord, and hoped that the emperor would take care of him. The throne is different from the lord." Wu Fuqian said with a sigh, "Although the emperor is in his sixties and seventies, his body is still very strong, how could he be willing to give the emperor's position to others so early?"

"Tough?" Xiao Bowen looked puzzled, and he didn't look like he was pretending, "Isn't his body dying already? Why is he tough now?"

Wu Fuqian also looked at him suspiciously, frowned slightly and said, "Don't you know, my lord? This time, the Lord and the Emperor were injured and trapped in a secret room for several days, but he recovered miraculously. Even the doctor said that his body was still intact." Very tough."

"No, no, didn't you just say that Chizi asked me to lead the army to Kyoto as soon as possible? Didn't she mean that we lead the army to help her win the throne of emperor?" Xiao Bowen asked suspiciously, "Ruo Ruo The emperor is still in good health, so where did this dislocation come from?"

"My lord hopes to win the trust of the emperor and the support of civil and military officials by destroying the army in the Central Plains. In this way, the throne of the emperor will be hers sooner or later." Wu Fu said pretending to guess.

Xiao Bowen couldn't help shaking his head heavily, "No, that's right, we agreed at the beginning that if she couldn't get the position of emperor, I would ask the emperor to send troops to Japan to help her get the position of emperor. Could it be that everything has changed now? ?”

"I don't know about this, but the lord probably has her own ideas in asking the lord to take the army to the capital as soon as possible." Wu Fuqian cupped his hands and said, "My task has been completed, if the lord has nothing to say to the lord If so, then I will leave first.”

Xiao Bowen thought for a while, and before Wu Fuqian came to the tent door, he raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I still have something unclear, I hope you can tell me."

"My lord, please tell me." Wu Fuqian turned around and bowed his head.

Xiao Bowen walked up to Wu Fuqian, stayed there for a while and asked, "You just said that Chizi and the emperor were confined in a secret room, so who rescued them?"

Wu Fuqian smiled softly and said, "It seems that the prime minister still doubts me. Well, since your lord asked that, then I have nothing to hide."

"I was the one who rescued the Lord and the Emperor." Wu Fuqian said half-truthfully, "otherwise, how could I get so many muskets."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Bowen's eyes pierced Wu Fugan's heart like a sharp sword.

He looked straight at Xiao Bowen calmly and said: "I came here this time entirely for the sake of the lord and the emperor. If your lord has any doubts about me, why not wait until you see the lord? Anyway, you are about to enter the capital too." , when the time comes, I will naturally see the Lord.”

After Wu Fuqian finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the tent.

Xiao Bowen stood behind him, his expression changing rapidly. Wu Fuqian's words made his already anxious heart even more hesitant. Although it was well planned before, now he has lost contact with Chizi for a long time. Knowing that she has done so many things in Kyoto.
