Song Qingshu of Destiny

When Tang He, Deng Yu, and Hua Yun walked into the dining room with pale faces, Wei Bi and Qing Shu had just had breakfast, and the maidservants cleaned up the dishes and made a pot of tea.

As soon as the three of them walked in, they knelt down on the ground with a thump, their eyes were red, and they were heartbroken.

Seeing this situation, Qing Shu got up and motioned to Wei Bi, and then left the dining room. Before he could take a few steps, he heard several screams of grief——

"Master! You want to avenge Big Brother Zhu!"

"This subordinate and the old thief Fang Guozhen are inseparable!"

"Sect Master, Sect Master..."

Qing Shu walked away gradually, the corners of his mouth curved into an imperceptible arc.

Overall, the plan went well.Of course Zhu Yuanzhang is going to die, but if he can take advantage of his death in the end, then it will be a real sure profit without loss.

Fang Guozhen from Taizhou, although he is not as strong as the Ming Jiaoyi Army in terms of military strength, he is still quite powerful.And more importantly, his reputation is really not low.Not only because Fang Guozhen's uprising was much earlier than the rebel army controlled by Wei Bi, but also because he has done some good things to protect the environment and the people since he occupied Taizhou.However, for Wei Bi, these are really not good things.After all, Fang Guozhen does not belong to the Mingjiao. Although everyone's enemy is the Mongolian Yuan regime, there are actually many disputes among the rebels, let alone after the Mongols are driven out, which warlord would not want to ascend the throne?

Since we have to clean up sooner or later, it is better to take the opportunity to clean up together.

Fang Guozhen asked for help from Haozhou, and Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang of Haozhou went to Taizhou to discuss the military situation in person, which was really sincere.Unexpectedly, it turned out that this was a big trap. Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng had long been in collusion and defected to Meng Yuan, so they besieged and killed Zhu Yuanzhang and his party, and Chen Bing prepared to go to war at the border between Taizhou and Haozhou—this is the truth that everyone in Mingjiao believes.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to Taizhou in person. Unexpectedly, Fang Guozhen encountered an assassin at night, and led his troops to chase him to the guest house where Zhu Yuanzhang was staying. Before he could question him, the Wu brothers led his troops and killed them. The two sides fought all night, and they ended up in Taizhou On the site of Zhu Yuanzhang, none of the men and horses brought by Zhu Yuanzhang escaped, and all of them were killed.However, when Fang Guozhen walked into the guest house and took a look, she found that Zhu Yuanzhang had died a long time ago—bad, this is probably Zhang Shicheng's plan to sow discord!Fang Guozhen's heart turned cold, and she hurriedly summoned counselors to discuss countermeasures.

But in fact, it was nothing more than Qingshu secretly followed Zhu Yuanzhang to Taizhou, first went to attract Fang Guozhen, then killed Zhu Yuanzhang at the right time, and then stirred up the hatred and anger of the Wu brothers-think about it, The Wu brothers, who had no intentions at all, first heard a scream of "Zhu Yuanzhang was dying", and aimed at Fang Guozhen, and then they went out and saw Fang Guozhen leading the army. Their blood surged, and they naturally fell into the trap. .In fact, if both sides calmed down and had a good talk at that time, it would be easy to point the finger at Zhang Shicheng, and then the Wu brothers and hundreds of soldiers could return to Haozhou safely with Zhu Yuanzhang's body, and the two families would discuss alliance and revenge Things... It's a pity that Qingshu doesn't want any of them to come back alive.

The Wu brothers and those hundreds of soldiers are all loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is almost impossible to win them over, so it is better to give up.Furthermore, if they were asked to talk about the matter before and after they came back, there would be no guarantee that another trouble would not arise.Qing Shu didn't think he was too thorough in his actions, but he just got stuck in the timing, and flaws are bound to be unavoidable.If the scheming Tang He and others knew the specific situation, it would be a disaster if they missed the trap.

Although Tang, Deng Yu and others are also loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, smart people will always make the most suitable choice.Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is dead, no matter what thoughts they had before, whether they discussed it or didn't have time to say it, there is no need to be stubborn. The best choice is to be loyal to the leader of the Ming Cult, Wei Bi.Although Wei Bi may not trust them completely, they are talents after all, so he will not kill them directly.In the future, whether Wei Bi will do his best, it depends on them.

So let the Wu brothers and others all die, not only to bury the truth, but also to leave a glimmer of life for Tang He and others-they had better not doubt it at all, or even if they doubted it, they would not reveal it at all, otherwise they would be green. Books will never be soft.

After seeing with his own eyes that Zhu Yuanzhang and his party were all dead, Qing Shu used his lightness skills to rush back to Haozhou overnight, before Tang and Deng Yu came to report the news, just to show his face in time and make a fool of himself. Proof of presence.

To be honest, Qing Shu was quite tired after going back and forth within a day.It's inconvenient for him to intervene in the next matter, it's better to go back, wash and sleep, and rest up.

Wei Bi heard Deng Yutang and Hua Yun talk about the cause and effect, his face turned dark immediately, and he said in great pain: "What?! What a Fang Guozhen... Really..." She looked so angry that she couldn't speak.

Then they summoned the middle-level generals to gather together and publicized the tragedy that happened to Zhu Yuanzhang. Suddenly, the whole hall was full of curses and anger.It has to be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's power base in Haozhou is very deep, and his popularity is really high. Now everyone is really hurt and resentful. Some generals with hot tempers simply want to directly raise troops to kill Taizhou.

"His grandma, that despicable villain killed Marshal Zhu, I will eat his flesh raw one day!"

"Marshal Zhu has a spirit in the sky, and he will definitely let the murderer die!"

"Thousands of cuts can't cure hatred..."

"..." Wei Bi's face turned even darker - isn't the murderer Qing Shu? !Hmph, dare to curse the sweetheart of the leader, the narrow-minded leader has written it all down!Sooner or later, it will be settled after autumn...

After a slight adjustment, Wei Bi still had a sad look on his face, but his eyes were firm and resolute, and the aura of a king surrounded him, and he slowly scanned for a week. After all the cursing gradually subsided, he said loudly: "Zhu Brother's justice, I will definitely get it back for him! We must avenge this revenge! Otherwise, what face do I have to be the leader?!"

Everyone replied in unison: "The leader is wise!"

The guard Bi assigned tasks one by one, and everyone's fighting spirit was high, and they all went to prepare to raise troops to deal with the matter.

After the crowd had left, Wei Bi calmed down, and with a little joy in his eyes, he turned and went to the backyard to look for Qing Shu.

Last night, Qing Shu hurried back, busy with travel and dust, really tired.So after taking a bath, he lay down on the soft couch with his eyes closed and rested.However, when Wei Bi walked in, Qing Shu was already fast asleep.

Seeing this situation, Wei Bi slowed down his steps, thought for a while, walked to the soft couch, took off his boots, and lay down on it, taking the green book as a hug pillow by the way.

Of course Qingshu is tired from running around, but in fact, Wei Bi couldn’t fall asleep before Qingshu came back last night. Naturally, he waited until dawn and waited for Qingshu to come back before he relaxed and took a nap, so it’s also useful to catch up on sleep. necessary.

The two slept together for several hours, when suddenly a loud shout came from outside the yard: "Qi to the leader, my subordinates, Tang He and Deng Yu, have important matters to present." People can break in without authorization, and they can only be announced outside the courtyard.

Wei Bi woke up all of a sudden, turned over and untied his clothes, then Qing Shu opened his eyes, the two of them looked at each other, there was a tacit understanding, Wei Bi went out.

On the other hand, Qing Shu couldn't help sighing slightly, he didn't even know when Wei Bi climbed onto the soft couch, it turned out that he really trusted Wei Bi so much... However, there is nothing wrong with it.

Wei Bi walked out of the yard and went to the meeting hall with several people, and then asked solemnly: "Aren't the generals gathering an army to prepare for the battle? But what happened?"

Tang He took two steps forward, and respectfully said: "I would like to report to the leader, Fang Guozhen of Taizhou, to send a message. There seems to be a misunderstanding in this incident. I hope that I can talk with the leader at the border of Haozhou and Taizhou to clear up the doubts."

Wei Bi paused for a moment, then glanced at Tang He and Deng Yu. Although they tried their best to conceal it, when the name Fang Guozhen was mentioned, there was still hatred in their eyes.Wei Bi's heart froze, he was indeed a close friend from his hometown, and they had a deep affection for Zhu Yuanzhang.

After pondering for a moment, Wei Bi frowned slightly and said, "Since this is the case, we must not be blinded by hatred. If we really fell into the tricks of the Mongols, Brother Zhu's soul in heaven will not be able to let go."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Tang and Deng Yu finally eased a little, and Deng Yu cupped his hands and said: "The leader has a good opinion, but if you want to have an interview with Fang Guozhen, you really have to be careful."

Wei Bi nodded and said: "Naturally, several generals will send some troops to go with me, presumably Fang Guozhen will also bring a large army to go with me. But Gusu's defense line needs to be strengthened, lest Zhang Shicheng take advantage of the opportunity .”

Deng Yutang replied together: "My subordinates understand." Then they went out together to make arrangements.

When Wei Bi returned to the courtyard again, Qing Shu was already sitting in the small pavilion in the middle of the artificial lake, sipping tea calmly.

This small pavilion surrounded by water and only one arch bridge is obviously a good place to talk. As far as Qing Shu and Wei Bi's skills are concerned, there is almost no one in the world who can eavesdrop under such conditions.Even if the chances of someone eavesdropping are extremely small, caution should be exercised at all times.

Wei Bi walked into the pavilion and sat down, recounted what Tang and Deng Yulai had reported just now, and then said: "I plan to set off early tomorrow morning, the whole army can reach the border in about half a day, and Qing Shu will follow along." Shall I go with you?"

Qing Shu smiled lightly and said, "Of course I will go with my eldest brother, but why don't we set off in the afternoon? It's better to arrive early to make arrangements, so as not to fail to negotiate terms."

Wei Bi nodded and said, "That's fine, but we want Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng to consume each other's strength. Fang Guozhen is not stupid, so how can we easily agree?"

Qing Shu said leisurely: "That depends on the elder brother. It is best to discuss it under the witness of both civil and military personnel, rather than a private agreement. Then the elder brother fully expresses the resentment and grief of losing his confidant general, so as to force Fang Guozhen to agree. It is not too difficult for his troops to defeat Zhang Shicheng's troops as the main force to prove their innocence."

Wei Bi's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "That's right, how could Fang Guozhen refuse in front of both civil and military forces? He will never let his subordinates suspect that he has colluded with the Mongols, and if that happens, his fame will be ruined." gone."

Qing Shu smiled lightly: "If he really refuses to agree, and his reputation is frustrated, there is nothing to worry about."

Wei Bi was in a good mood, but after thinking for a while, he asked again: "But if Fang Guozhen can really use all his strength to defeat Zhang Shicheng, we can't do anything to him, otherwise, won't it attract criticism from all over the world?"

Qing Shu looked at Wei Bi, and said with a half-smile: "At that time, his own strength will not be much left, so the eldest brother will invite him to join the Mingjiaoyi Army as the marshal of the Mingjiaoyi Army on the grounds of national righteousness. Give him some of the troops under his command as compensation, so that Fang Guozhen will become the eldest brother's subordinate, and his reputation will naturally become yours."

Hearing this, Wei Bi smiled wryly and said, "Qing Shu, your so-called upright plots are more frightening than many plots."

Qing Shu lowered his eyes and said: "Since you want to be the military adviser of the eldest brother, you must have some skills... But if I act like this, will you feel unhappy?"

Wei Bi was stunned, holding Qing Shu's hand and said seriously: "Of course not, I will only be happy if you plan for me like this... Don't think too much, I will always trust you no matter what, what? You and I like it too."

Qing Shu looked at Wei Bi thoughtfully, until Wei Bi started to feel at a loss, then smiled and said, "It's also because of you that I dare to be so unscrupulous..." As he spoke, he changed the subject, and suddenly said: "Kill me!" It's best for Zhang Shicheng to be straightforward and never accept the surrender, otherwise he might not be able to cover up the incident."

Wei Bi's eyes sharpened, and he said with a sneer: "That's natural, and Tang and Deng Yu have a deep affection for Zhu Yuanzhang. Just in case, it's better to get rid of it. I really don't want to leave you with trouble." It is very far-reaching, in the future when Wei Bi ascends the throne and everyone is an official in the same court, if the past reveals flaws, Tang He and others will not dare to blame Wei Bi who is the lord, they will only point the finger at Qing Shu.The battle in the court has always been dark, even if Wei Bi leans towards Qingshu wholeheartedly, there is no guarantee that something will happen, so it is better to cut the grass and get rid of the roots.

Qingshu smiled leisurely, and said: "Brother has a heart for me, I naturally understand... But after Zhang Shicheng's defeat, Tang and Deng Yu can't find any evidence that Zhang Shicheng sowed discord and harmed Zhu Yuanzhang, and Fang Guozhen's estrangement will not be solved. Disappeared. Coupled with the death of the Wu brothers, Fang Guozhen must be targeted everywhere... If Fang Guozhen, the founding general of the new dynasty, died suddenly one day after the establishment of the new dynasty, then Tang and Deng Yu, who had always been at odds with him, would also be to blame... ...They are all talents after all, even if they really want to do something, they might as well wait until the world has made a decision before making any plans."

Wei Bi suddenly had a feeling of being convinced, but more than that, he was glad and happy. Being able to accompany such a young scholar for the rest of his life is really not in vain.Only a coward would be dissatisfied with a powerful lover, and Wei Bi, who has ambitions for the world, feels even more at this moment that only he and Qing Shu are worthy of each other.
