Treacherous ministers have deep routines

"It's lonely."

When Lin Rang heard Wei Man's deep and hoarse voice, his heart trembled violently. For some reason, he always felt that his heart was about to jump out of his cavity and was out of control.

Lin Rang pressed his heart indiscriminately, and glanced at Wei Man.

It was indeed Wei Man.

Wei Man was wearing a black robe, with a Yitian sword at his waist, squinting his eyes, covering Lin Rang's mouth and nose to prevent him from making a sound, and brought him back from the window, and then slowly put down his hands on guard.

Lin Rang has already seen Wei Man clearly, Wei Man is not as gorgeous as usual.

Today's Wei Man is completely dark. After all, he is a dignified Qizhou shepherd, but he has to go to Tanzhou to spy at night, so he can't be too gorgeous.

But Wei Man was dressed in black, which set off his handsome appearance, with a ruthless aura all over him, more calm than four or five years ago, and more like an outstanding leader...

Wei Man wore the Yitian sword at his waist, and put his hand on the hilt. For some reason, Lin Rang suddenly thought of Li Bai's heroic and ambitious poem.

Sure enough, he responded to the sentence "A strong man is angry, and a hero is born. Ande relies on the sword of the sky, and cuts the long whale across the sea."

Lin Rang carefully looked at the handsome and heroic Wei Man, and didn't praise Wei Man for anything, just thinking in his heart, and sure enough, his vision was correct.

Wei Man didn't know what Lin Rang was thinking at this time. He also looked at Lin Rang. Ever since Wei Man received the news that Lin Rang was imprisoned by Jiang Duting and Tan Zhoumu, and he was not allowed to live or die, Wei Man felt a little "faint" in his heart. Anxiety, I don't know what is going on with Lin Rang.

He thought of more than a dozen possibilities, the worst was that Lin Rang was already dead, and the best possibility was that Lin Rang was also a prisoner, tortured to the brink of death.

how do you know...

Who knows that when I see Lin Rang now, I can only see that he has drunk well, eaten well, used well, slept well, what kind of prisoner, he is clearly a local emperor.

It is still hard to find out that he is the guest of Tanzhou Mu.

When Wei Man saw it, he was angry, "Crack!", and he clenched the Yitian sword at his waist, so angry that he could almost breathe fire from the top of his head.

Lin Rang also said very "fire": "How did Duke Wei come here?"

Duke Wei...how did he come here?

Wei was so angry that he couldn't help himself, his face turned livid, and he lowered his voice, fearing that someone would find out, he bit his back molars viciously, and said, "You don't know why Gu came here?"

Lin Rang looked at Wei Man strangely. He really didn't know. After all, Wei Man was the shepherd of Qizhou, but he crossed the border and came to Tanzhou. Isn't this looking for a fight?

Wei Man has always been cautious and extremely suspicious, how could he do such... such a heartless thing?

Yes, that’s right, when Wei Man thinks about the lack of heart, he only feels that he is lack of heart. Now that he finally sees Lin Rang and sees his food and drink, the anger in his heart has turned into grief. .

Speaking of which, Wei Man did not catch up with Lin Rang at the city gate, and Lin Rang clearly heard his call, but left heartlessly, Wei Man felt very uncomfortable.

Maybe a little hypocritical, but Wei Man really didn't know what he wanted, he clearly asked Lin Rang to send the letter of war, to die, but now that Lin Rang really went, Wei Man felt uncomfortable, so he didn't know how to beg himself.

Ruo Lin begs himself, maybe he won't let him go.

After Lin Rang left, everyone noticed that the lord was a little restless.

Wei Man suffered a little bit of cold, Lin Feng boiled medicine for Wei Man, Wei Man absent-mindedly drank the sugar water first, then put the medicine aside, and directly put it into a cold bitter medicine soup.

Another time, Wei Man was correcting documents while eating, and the brush dipped into the food to absorb ink.

In short, everyone in the Qizhou government office knew that the lord had been feeling restless recently, but no one dared to guess why and for whom the lord was feeling restless.

Later, Wei Man received a report from the residence that the envoy had been detained.

The team of envoys from Qizhou were all detained by Tanzhou Mu and Jiang Duting, and Lin Rang didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

At that time Wei Man was furious.

Indeed, he was furious. Ever since Lin Rang died in the fire, there was nothing that could make Wei Man so furious, not even when the little emperor cut Wei Man's military power as a general. flew into a rage.

Everyone didn't dare to say a word, they watched their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses.

Wei Man ordered Xia Yuanyun to inquire immediately, and if Tanzhou Mu and Jiang Duting really killed Lin Rang, they would immediately attack Tanzhou on a large scale.

At that time, Xia Yuanyun was more straightforward, saying that their horses, food and grass were not ready yet, and it was impossible to attack Tanzhou on a large scale, so Wei Man slapped him hard.

A few days later, Xia Yuanyun's spies brought back news.

Lin Rang is not dead.

At that time, Wei Man heaved a sigh of relief, and he felt happy in his heart. He didn't know how lucky and happy he was.

However, Xia Yuanyun still had something to say, and said hesitantly: "However...the news came from Tanzhou that Tanzhou Mu and Jiang Duting were very good to the envoy, Mr. Feng Xiao, and they treated Mr. Feng Xiao as the honored guest. We must... plot against Mr. Feng Xiao."

When Wei Man heard this, he felt a "thump" in his heart, but then he thought, no, maybe it was the fake news that Tanzhou released, and he just wanted to make Qizhou mess up.

He understood Tanzhou Mu's personality.

Tanzhou Mu was born in a poor family and was born in a poor family. Later, because he was favored by his father-in-law and became his son-in-law, he was promoted all the way to the top.

This Tan Zhou Mu has always been very dissolute in nature, although the longer he grows, the more decent he is, but he has a lot of crooked ideas in his bones.

In the old days, Tanzhou Mu paid tribute to the little emperor and used a lot of gold and silver as bribes, just to become the little emperor's confidant.

Therefore, Wei Man kept an extra eye on the news that Tanzhou Mu was very good to Lin Rang, and Wei Man didn't believe the news that it was so "violent".

Wei Man was heartbroken for Lin Rang. He was worried all day long and didn't think about food or tea. After thinking about it for two days, he held a meeting in the assembly hall of the Qizhou Government Office.

The generals in Wei Yingzhong were all sitting at the banquet, ready to listen to the lord's orders on how to fight against the Tanzhou incident.

Seeing Wei Manduan sitting in the middle of the hall, looking at the generals at the banquet with a cold and stern expression, he paused, and finally said: "I have decided...to go to Tanzhou to find out for myself."

"personally?"

Everyone present immediately boiled, like a big cauldron boiling water, and the voices of discussion kept rolling.

"Go in person?"

"Tanzhou? It's too dangerous."

"Yes."

When Xia Yuanyun heard this, he immediately stood up to object, and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Tanzhou and Qizhou are incompatible with each other. Tanzhou shepherds are ambitious. Once my lord enters Tanzhou, my life may be in danger. It is impossible to guarantee that Tanzhou shepherds will not suffer." My lord, please think twice!"

What Xia Yuanyun said was naturally reasonable, but Wei Man felt restless and had to go there himself, otherwise he would not survive at all.

Wei Man made enough excuses for himself. He didn't go to find Lin Rang, but to find out the truth.

Wei Man was expressionless, and said very calmly: "The purpose of going to Tanzhou alone is to find out what is true and false in Tanzhou. You all know that this time Tanzhou Mu's clamor is based on the assistance of Jiang Duting and Zhao Liang Eryang. Him? Jiang Duting's iron cavalry, together with Zhao Liang prefect's [-] soldiers, should not be underestimated... Now that we are about to send troops, but we still can't find out what is true in Tanzhou, it is really a big taboo for military strategists."

Xia Yuanyun said again: "My lord's words are reasonable, but even if I want to find out the reality of Tanzhou, my lord doesn't have to be tens of thousands in person, humble general..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Man raised his hand and said, "Okay, this matter is decided as such, there is no need to talk about it."

Xia Yuanyun still wanted to dissuade Wei Man, but at this moment, Mr. Duan Su gently tugged on Xia Yuanyun's sleeve robe, and shook his head slightly at him, as if not letting Xia Yuanyun speak.

Wei Man insisted on going his own way, and the matter was quickly finalized. He was going to fly to Tanzhou with a pair of elite soldiers and generals, and join up with the grain and grass army who was one step ahead, and then explore the reality of Tanzhou.

After the meeting ended, Xia Yuanyun frowned and said to Mr. Duan Su: "Sir, why didn't you ask Yuan Yun to dissuade the lord?"

Mr. Duan Su sighed, and said: "General Xia has always known the lord is a man, and there is no room for change in the things the lord decides?"

Indeed, Wei Man is such a person.

It was also because of this that Wei Man came to visit Lin Rang even if he was labeled as self-willed, so he was relieved.

Seeing Lin Rang now, Wei Man is not only not at ease, but his heart is boiling, like boiling oil, crackling and about to explode!

Wei Man looked coldly at Lin Rang, who had been well-fed in Tanzhou. He really seemed to have gained weight, but he didn't look fat. After all, Lin Rang was too thin before, but now he looked more energetic.

Wei Man became angrier the more he looked at it, and said with a sneer, "It seems...Mr. Feng Xiao lives in Tanzhou, is it very nourishing?"

Lin Rang thought about it, and said blankly, "It's okay."

Wei Man: "..."

Wei Man was so angry that he didn't know how to describe it. He only wished he could cut down the case with a single sword now.

Wei Man said sarcastically again: "I'm afraid it's because of Tanzhou Mu's delicious hospitality. Mr. Feng Xiao has betrayed, so why don't you go to Tanzhou instead?"

Lin Rang thought about it again, looked at Wei Man calmly, and said the truth.

"Even if the humble minister betrays, it should be something that Chen Gong is anxious about. After all, the humble minister is from Chen Ying, so what has he to do with Wei Gong?"

That's all Lin Rang said, and he added, "Why does Duke Wei seem so angry?"

Wei Man sneered, "Oh!", and said, "Gu? Are you angry? Are you too good at telling naughty jokes? How could Gu be angry, haha, haha..."

Wei Man said that's all, and laughed, as if he felt very naughty, but the smile was very awkward and stiff.

Lin Rang looked at Wei Man with a smirk indifferently, not knowing where Wei Man's smile was.

Wei Man only felt that it was really not speculative. He came from a long way and sneaked into Tanzhou, and he was taking such a risk, but what about Lin Rang?

It's fine if you don't drink a glass of water, and you are angry with yourself and run on yourself with words.

Then I heard Lin Rang say in his ruthless tone, "Wei Gong should leave early."

When Wei Man heard this, could it be that Lin Rang was concerned about himself, afraid that he would be discovered by the people of Tanzhou?

Wei Man was thinking like this, and then he heard Lin Rang say: "General Jiang will come over in a while, I'm afraid it's not easy for Wei Gong to meet General Jiang face to face."

Wei Man: "..." Because Jiang Duting came over in a while, let him leave?

It's so late, what is Jiang Duting doing here?

overnight?
