Treacherous ministers have deep routines

"The county lord."

Xiao Lingxiang poked her cheeks, and was lying on the table alone, when she suddenly heard someone calling her, she looked back, her eyes widened, and she said in surprise, "Uncle!"

With Wei Man's consent, Wu De came to find Xiao Lingxiang to go out together, who knew that Xiao Lingxiang's first sentence almost killed him.

Both of them are engaged, and Xiao Lingxiang is still "uncle" when she speaks, as if reminding Wu De all the time, how big is the age difference between them.

Wu De froze, his face froze a bit, but he quickly returned to normal, and walked over to salute Xiao Lingxiang.

Seeing Wu De was very happy, Xiao Lingxiang ran up and down, ran to Wu De, stopped suddenly, put her arms around her hips and said, "Uncle, what do you call me again? You call me Princess, huh!" "

Wu De hurriedly apologized, saying: "It's the fault of the humble general, but..."

Xiao Lingxiang said: "But what? Are you still unwilling?"

Wu De said: "It's not reluctance, it's just...it's just that the princess keeps calling the humble general...Uncle, how does this make the humble general dare to get close to the princess?"

When Xiao Lingxiang heard this, she smiled and said, "Then what are you calling, General Wu? Lord Wu?"

Wu De said with a gentle face: "Just call Wu De."

He said, and gave Xiao Lingxiang a red date, and said in an infinitely hoarse and gentle voice, "Xiang'er."

Xiao Lingxiang immediately blushed, smiled very embarrassedly, and then said to Wu De: "Uncle!"

Wu De: "..."

Xiao Lingxiang had a strange expression on her face, and said, "I just want to call you uncle, are you still not happy?"

Wu De was really defeated and said: "How dare the humble general..."

After all, Wu De's purpose today is to please Xiao Lingxiang, so naturally he has to let her go.

Wu De said with a smile: "Xiang'er, I'm going to deliver a letter to Yanzhou some other day. I'm free today, and I got the lord's permission. I think... how about taking Xiang'er out for a walk?"

"go out!?"

Xiao Lingxiang jumped up immediately, and said, "Good duck! Good good! I've wanted to go out for a long time!"

The two of them hit it off, and immediately left the Huaizhong Palace, Wu De led his own horse, and took Xiao Lingxiang out of the palace to visit.

The market in Huaizhong is very lively, although it is much more downcast than before, but it is enough for Xiao Lingxiang to enjoy, the two of them will start from the market first, what Xiao Lingxiang likes, Wu De doesn't say a word, buy it immediately Come down, I can't wait to buy everything I have seen.

Xiao Lingxiang was bouncing around the stall in front, and Wu De was behind carrying things and helping her with all kinds of delicious food. It didn't look like a husband-in-law, but rather like "ordering a girl" .

"Uncle, look at that!"

"Wow, look at this!"

"Look at the duck!"

The two of them went crazy outside for a whole day, and when they were about to come back, the sun was about to set, Xiao Lingxiang was stubbornly unhappy and didn't want to go back.

Wu De then said: "Xiang'er, it's getting late, if you don't go back, Young General Wu must be worried."

Xiao Lingxiang pouted her lips and said, "But...but Xiang'er hasn't been naughty enough, and finally had a chance to come out to be naughty. On weekdays, my brother is very busy with work, and there is no one to play with Xianger."

Wu De played up thousands of layers of tenderness and said, "Xiang'er is good, go back today first, let's go out together when we are free some other day, okay?"

Xiao Lingxiang's eyes sparkled, and she said, "Really?"

Wu De nodded and said: "The humble general never lies."

Xiao Lingxiang became happy again, and said: "Okay, let's go back then!"

He said, and ran away bouncing around. Wu De saw it and said quickly: "Xiang'er, wait a minute! Wait, the things haven't been taken yet!"

Wu De grabbed the big and small bags on the ground and ran after Xiao Lingxiang, for fear that Xiao Lingxiang would get lost.

The two arrived not far from the gate of the palace, Xiao Lingxiang played tricks again, and refused to go back, insisting that her legs hurt and she didn't want to leave.

Wu De hurriedly squatted down, turned his back to Xiao Lingxiang, turned around and said: "I will carry you on my back."

Xiao Lingxiang was a little surprised, looked at Wu De eagerly, and said: "This...is this okay?"

Wu De smiled and said: "Why not? Has Xiang'er forgotten that the humble general and Xiang'er are already engaged, and we will soon become husband and wife. Isn't it a matter of course for a husband to carry his wife behind his back?"

Xiao Lingxiang was elated by what he said, her face was blushing, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing, as if she was being coaxed around by Wu De.

In the end, Wu De still carried the little spirit incense on his back, carrying the big and small bags, and the two went to the palace.

After entering the palace, Wu De sent Xiao Lingxiang back to the main hall where she was staying, and arranged the big and small bags for her, and she was about to leave.

But Wu De has not forgotten the purpose of coming to please Xiao Lingxiang today, so he didn't leave immediately, but lowered his head slightly, his eyes rolled slightly, as if he was thinking of something.

Wu De finally spoke and said, "Princess."

Xiao Lingxiang said dissatisfied: "Why do you call me Princess again?"

Wu De came over, knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Lingxiang, took out a cloth bag from his bosom, and handed it to Xiao Lingxiang.

Xiao Lingxiang was overjoyed for a while, thinking it was a gift, she quickly caught it, and opened it to have a look...

"money?"

Xiao Lingxiang looked at the money in the cloth bag strangely, there was five baht, and there was also gold, anyway, there were all "denominations" of big and small.

The odds and zeros are not a lot, anyway, the money is not enough for Xiao Lingxiang's monthly expenses.

Wu De half knelt in front of Xiao Lingxiang, and said: "Princess, this is all the money of this humble general."

Xiao Lingxiang was even more surprised, looked at Wu De, and said: "What is this for? I am not short of money, if you are short of money, I..."

Before Xiao Lingxiang finished speaking, Wu De said again: "Princess, the humble general knows that the princess is born with a daughter, and she is never short of money. Parents and brothers in the family love the princess very much, and there is no shortage of humble generals." The child's concern, but will be..."

With a hoarse voice, Wu De said half-truthfully, "But the humble general can't help caring about the princess, so what can we do?"

Xiao Lingxiang listened blankly, and when she woke up from the dream, she found that her uncle was actually expressing her love for her!

If you heard me right, I was really expressing my admiration to myself, and it was embarrassing to say so.

Wu De observed Xiao Lingxiang's complexion for a while, and continued: "The humble general will leave Huaizhong soon, and go to Yanzhou to deliver the letter. Chen Ji has usurped the emperor, and disasters are common. This time, the humble general will go to deliver the crusade , if Chen Ji gets murderous, I'm afraid..."

When Xiao Lingxiang heard this, she was stunned. She usually doesn't care about the war, because although Xiao Lingxiang is smart, she is still young, and her brothers hold her in the palm of her hand. There are so many masters in the family. Guys, how can you enslave her to learn this?

Only then did Xiao Lingxiang realize that if Wu De went to Yanzhou, he might be killed by Chen Ji in a fit of anger.

Wu De said lightly: "This is all the property of the humble general. If the humble general is lucky enough to come back this time, then he will definitely live up to the princess's love, but if... If the humble general does not have this blessing, please ask the princess to do it." Don't be sad because I'm an unremarkable pawn."

"The humble general knows that the princess is not short of money, but when he thinks that the humble general will stay away from the princess, he feels very uneasy, so the money is left to the princess. If the princess... someday I miss the humble general, why don't you take a look at it The money is also good."

Wu De said so much in one breath, the more Xiao Lingxiang listened to it, the more unhappy she felt, and said: "Uncle, can you not go?"

Wu De laughed and said: "Xiang'er, a man who stands upright and can serve in the army is my good fortune. How can I retreat in the face of battle?"

Xiao Lingxiang thought for a while, her eyes lit up, and she said: "Uncle, you wait, Xiang'er will go to find her brother now, and ask him to dispatch troops for you and escort you to Yanzhou. Don't worry, measure him, Chen Ji. I can't do anything to you!"

As she spoke, she immediately jumped up, ran out of the hall quickly, and disappeared in a flash.

The expression on Wu De's face was very dignified. After Xiao Lingxiang ran out of the hall and disappeared, it slowly changed. The dignified expression seemed to melt the winter snow, and finally he put on a smug smile.

Wu De came out slowly from the main hall, Xiao Lingxiang had long since disappeared, Wu De was full of ambition, who knew that when he turned around, he suddenly saw a figure in white standing under a tree not far away, looking at him faintly .

Lin Rang!

Lin Rang stood neither far nor close, his eyes were as calm as water, and he didn't know what his expression was. He just stared at Wu De like that, making Wu De feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body felt unspeakably cold.

Xiao Lingxiang went to find Wu Yan, who had always been a sister-in-law, and Xiao Lingxiang begged him to call Wu De to escort Wu De to Yanzhou, but Wu Yan was very helpless.

Even if Wu Yan couldn't react, Lu Jinyu could figure it out. Lin Rang asked Wu De to go to Yanzhou, the meaning was obvious. He wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, so he simply asked Chen Ji to kill Wu De and cut off Xiao Ling. Xiang's thought, once and for all.

To be honest, Wu Yan is not optimistic about Wu De, his sister loves him so much, but Wu De's scheming always prevails, he does not know how to love others, if he loves others, it is also with purpose.

This is indeed understandable, but Xiao Lingxiang is Wu's own sister, how could Wu have the heart to push Xiang'er into the fire pit?

But Wu Yan had no other choice, he couldn't just tell Xiao Lingxiang directly, don't worry, when my brother-in-law dies, I'll find you a new one?

Wu Yan had a splitting headache, so he had no choice but to agree to Xiao Lingxiang, and sent a team to escort Wu De.

The call to crusade against Chen Ji has been written and signed, and Wu De is ready to go.

Today is the day Wude set off.

Wei Man personally sent it to the gate of Huaizhong City, and saw Wu De off with a friendly face.

Wu De's team this time is not too big, but they are surrounded by Wu Yan's elite soldiers and good generals. It must be said that Wu De made money from this deal. Wu De used the money Wei Man lent him to buy the engagement banquet in exchange for Wu De With a group of elite soldiers, this deal is nothing but empty-handed wolves.

Wei Man raised his wine glass and earcups and said, "I hope General Wu will go and come back quickly!"

Wu De quickly took the wine glass and ear cup, and said: "My lord loves you so much, I will be grateful to you."

Wei Man smiled faintly, patted Wu De on the shoulder, and said, "How can you be grateful to Yu Gu? The person you should be grateful to...is Princess Lingxiang. Without Princess Lingxiang, you would have died countless times gone."

Hearing Wei Man's words, Wu De thought of Lin Rang's faint eyes staring at him that day, couldn't help shivering, and quickly cupped his hands and said, "My lord taught you that."

Wei Man said: "Okay, the sun is not getting too early, so don't delay your trip, let's start early."

"Humble General!"

Wu De bid farewell, quickly stepped on the horse, raised his hands and set off, leading the team to leave Huaizhong City in a mighty manner.

The team left far away, walked further and further away, and gradually disappeared into the sky full of loess...

Wei Man turned around and said, "We..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Rang, who was standing behind Wei Man, had already turned around and walked away.

Wei Man took a look and said quickly, "Wait, Gu! Let's go together!"

As Wei Man said, he chased after him in a dozen packs, but he didn't dare to call Lin Rang's name in full view, so he was somewhat restrained.

Xia Yuanyun and Mr. Duan Su couldn't help shaking their heads when they saw it.

Mr. Duan Su said: "This governor is really a grudge."

hold grudges...

That's right, two days ago, Mr. Duan Su reported that the rest of Huaizhong Chenzhong Road had all left Huaizhong to serve Wuzitai, the prefect of Huaxiang.

And this Wuzitai has some old feelings with Wei Man, so relying on this relationship, he unscrupulously took in Chen Zhonglu's old troops, and threatened that Wei Man would never come to attack him.

When Lin Rang heard about the "old love", he was very unhappy, and his face darkened immediately.

It was really dark.

Lin Rang's face was not the usual expressionless face, but a serious face, as if it was the cold winter, this time not only Wei Man could see it, but other people with long eyes could also see it.

Wei Man chased after him, and said in a low voice: "Lin Rang, why don't you wait for Gu? No... are you still angry?"

Lin Rang glanced at Wei Man lightly, did not speak, and continued to walk forward. Wei Man chased after him and explained, "Lin Rang, Lin asked you to listen to Gu's explanation, it's not what you think...that Wuzitai and Gu It's just meeting by chance, nodding acquaintance, and nothing else, you must not listen to Duan Su's nonsense, Duan Su's mouth has never been serious, and you don't know it."

At this moment, Mr. Duan Su couldn't help but sneezed "Ah!", thinking who would scold him?

Wei Man chased Lin Rang and ran all the way to the palace. Lin Rang entered the main hall, and Wei Man followed suit, saying, "Lin Rang, don't you know how to be alone?"

While persuading Lin Rang, Wei Man thought in his heart, this Lin Rang tasted really strong, as if the sky was falling apart.

Half of Wei Man was worried, and the other half was very proud. Look, Lin Rang loved seeing him so much. If he didn't care, how could he be so appreciative?

Wei Man poured a glass of water with a smile, handed it to Lin Rang, and said, "Sit down and ask Gu what you want, just ask Gu, Gu will know everything and say everything!"

Lin Rang glanced at Wei Man, and finally gave Wei Man a "charity" look, and said in a cold voice: "What is the relationship between Duke Wei and the prefect of Hua Township?"

Wei Man hurriedly swore to the sky, saying: "It's okay, it's really okay!"

In fact, they did know each other, and it was a very long time ago. If Mr. Duan Su hadn't reminded him, Wei Man would not have remembered this character at all.

Wei Man was promoted to Xiaolian at the beginning of the year, and after taking office, he killed the uncle of the great eunuch. Everyone knew about this, and there was a lot of ups and downs at that time.

How could the great eunuch let Wei Man go, Wei Man was quickly squeezed out, and finally resigned from his official position, ready to return to his hometown.

During those days, because Xuanyang was in the hands of the eunuchs, Wei Man became the target of public criticism, life was not easy, many cronies and friends severed ties with Wei Man, not wanting to cause trouble.

Wei Man said: "At that time... At that time, everyone wanted to get rid of Gu, but one day someone suddenly came to visit."

Lin Rang then said, "Wu Zi Tai?"

Wei Man nodded.

At that time, Wuzitai was not the prefect of Huaxiang, but a local hero. Everyone wanted to disassociate himself from Wei Man, but Wuzitai heard about this incident, respected Wei Man very much, and personally visited Wei Man at this critical juncture. Visit and make friends.

Lin Rang looked at Wei Man and said, "Could it be your acquaintance again?"

Wei Man: "..."

Wei Man had several acquaintances, which is interesting to say. Chen Ji, the shepherd of Yanzhou they were going to attack, was actually Wei Man's acquaintance, and the mastermind You Yuan who "died of illness" not too long ago was also Wei Man's acquaintance. Yang Yue, who has cheated Wei Man countless times, and was cheated countless times by Wei Man, is also Wei Man's close friend.

Wei Man's acquaintance with these eight pilgrimages, I am afraid that no one can worry about it!

Wei Man scratched his temples in embarrassment, and nodded slightly.

Back then, Wei Man was young and energetic, seeing Wu Zitai visit, his heart was very excited, he believed that Wu Zitai was a hero who was not afraid of the powerful, so he made friends with Wu Zitai eight times, and even subsidized Wu Zitai a lot of money, let him go to a certain place to get fame.

Later, the eunuch forces suppressed Wei Man. Wei Man left Xuanyang and returned to his hometown. When he left Xuanyang, he was chased and ambushed. Fight and save Wei Man once.

Wei Man said: "Because of this incident, Gu boasted of Haikou in the past, and he will definitely repay Wuzitai's kindness in the future. No matter whether it is a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​fire, as long as he opens his mouth, Gu will agree..."

When he said this, his voice was out of shape, because Lin Rang's eyes became more and more ruthless!

Lin Rang said lightly: "What a Duke Wei who values ​​love and righteousness."

Wei Man: "..."

Lin Rang said again: "Now Wuzitai has great influence and military strength near Huaizhong, and he has the intention to annex Chen Zhonglu's old military power. If there is a condition for Duke Wei to sit on the sidelines, will Duke Wei agree?"

Wei Man shyly moved his face closer, and said with a smile: "Lin Rang, tell Gu, are you... a little bit of a taste?"

Lin Rang was taken aback for a moment. He only knew that he was not feeling well these few days, but he never thought it was a taste. Now that he thinks about it, it seems that it is really...

Seeing that his face was stiff, Wei Man immediately leaned over happily and kissed Lin Rang like a child who got candy. He laughed and said, "Lin Rang, I really like being lonely. I usually eat alone. Now it's finally your turn to eat, which means that loneliness holds a lot of weight in your heart."

Wei Man guided again and said: "Look, you tried your best to match Wu Yan and Lu Jinyu's affairs, and when it was Gu's turn, you didn't know anything about it, so you started to have fun, which shows that Gu The position in your heart is unshakable and... unique."

He said, pressing his palm on Lin Rang's heart, feeling the beating of Lin Rang's heart.

For some reason, Lin Rang missed two beats of his heartbeat, and there was an indescribable throbbing, as if he had a heart attack.

Wei Man was very proud, squinting his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Lin Rang, just admit it, you can't escape Gu's palm no matter what, why don't you... obediently become Gu's dinner, don't do unnecessary things. earn……"

As Wei Man spoke, he approached Lin Rang, as if he was displaying his charm like a peacock spreading his tail. His voice was hoarse and his eyes were dangerous, revealing a bewitching charm.

Just when Wei Manzhi was full of pride, he suddenly heard "My lord! Is my lord in the palace? Yuan Yun has something important to report!"

Xia Yuanyun...

Wei Man: "..."

When Lin Rang heard this, he quickly pushed him away mercilessly.

Wei Man had no choice but to call Xia Yuanyun in, along with Mr. Duan Su.

When Wei Man saw these two people, the alarm bells rang in his heart, and he always felt that nothing good happened.

Xia Yuanyun and Mr. Duan Su saluted Wei Man, and Wei Man said, "What's the matter?" After dealing with the business, he had to coax Lin Rang.

Mr. Duan Su took another look at Lin Rang just like last time.

Wei Man's heart was even more alarmed, what's going on?

Lin Rang sat on the table with a blank expression on his face, and Wei Man felt a great pressure immediately.

Wei Man thought for a while, and said to Lin Rang: "I'm tired of seeing you off today, or you should rest first, and go outside with them alone to talk, don't bother..."

you……

Before he finished speaking, Lin Rang said very "understanding": "Why bother? It is the job of a humble minister to share the worries of Wei Gong."

Wei Man: "..."

Mr. Duan Su took out a door sticker, held it up and handed it over, saying: "My lord...you can tell it at a glance."

Wei Man found the door shaped like a door, and opened it to have a look.

No wonder Mr. Duan Su wanted to see Lin Rang. It turned out that this door certificate was sent by Wu Zitai, the prefect of Huaxiang!

Isn't it the Wu Zitai who let Lin Rang eat it?

The door sign said, I heard that Wei Man became a general of hussars, and because Wuzitai was far away from home, he didn't celebrate Wei Man in time. This time, he was free, so he would like to invite Wei Man over to have a few glasses of wine and chat. Mind.

Wei Man looked at the shape of the door, his back felt numb, he turned his head quickly, and met Lin Rang's gaze with one side of his head, Wei Man was very guilty, and quickly closed the shape of the door, fearing that Lin Rang would eat it again.

In fact, Wei Man thought too much, because he didn't think about it at all, Lin asked him to...

Is an "illiterate".

Who would have thought that the resourceful, resourceful, won Tanzhou, stabilized Luzhou, pacified the capital, and helped Wei Man take down the leader of Chen Zhonglu, Luzhou Inspector, in fact... I don't know a few words.

The door sign was written in a very tedious manner. Lin Rang looked at the first two rows, but he didn't understand anything. Wei Man read it quickly, "Pa!" Read Wu Zitai's name.

After Mr. Duan Su delivered the door form, he didn't dare to stay, fearing that he would get burned, so he hurriedly took Xia Yuanyun away.

After everyone had left, Lin Rang wanted to take another look before he had finished reading the door form, but before he picked it up, Wei Man snatched it away, so he hurriedly protected Lin Rang from seeing it.

Lin Rang was very surprised and said, "Duke Wei, are you...?"

Wei Man coughed and said, "Hey, it's all small things, so don't worry about it."

Lin Rang said: "Really? If it's a trivial matter, how could General Yuan Yun and Mr. Duan Su send it here in such a hurry?"

Wei Man's scalp is numb, Lin Rang has always been so smart, and he can't be fooled by others.

Lin Rang spread out his palm, Wei Man hesitated for a while, and finally bit the bullet and put the door shape in his palm.

Lin Rang opened the door and continued to look down. The front was too jerky and difficult to understand.

But later he can understand!

Now it is the Wu family, so Lin Rang knows the word Wu, and he always reads the military newspaper on weekdays.

And the word "Zi" is a good name for men in ancient times. Many ancient men have "Zi" in their watch characters, so it is very common, and Lin Rang can understand it naturally.

The last word - Taiwan.

Coincidentally, Wu Yan's father was named Wu Wentai, so Lin Rang also knew this word.

So the connection is - Wu, Zi, Taiwan.

Lin Rang stared at these three words, and immediately squinted his eyes, his indifferent eyes were filled with an icy chill.

Wei Man: "..." It's actually a bit cold in summer?

Lin Rang raised his head and handed the door sign to Wei Man. Wei Man thought he didn't read it, but when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Lin Rang say, "Please trouble Wei Gong, let Rang read it."

Wei Man said: "Lin Rang, it's better to say goodbye."

Lin Rang said very calmly: "Read."

Wei Man: "Oh..."

The general idea on the door form is, once you say goodbye, now Wei Man has become the general of the hussars, and he himself has become the prefect of Huaxiang. The turn of eight worships was just around the corner, and now such an opportunity is rare, so Wuzitai wants to invite Wei Man Go to his plate, drink a glass of wine, and catch up with Wei Man.

After Wei Man finished reading, he immediately expressed his position, saying: "Wu Zitai took care of Chen Zhonglu's remnants, and as a hussar general alone, the overall situation should be the most important. Lin let you rest assured that even if you don't tell me, Gu will not go to see Wu Zitai..."

"Do not."

Before Wei Man could finish speaking, Lin Rang said indifferently, "See you, of course we will."

"Lin Rang?" Wei Man looked at Lin Rang strangely, and said, "Why did you go to see Wuzitai alone?"

Lin Rang picked up the door certificate, shook it, and said: "Wuzitai took in the remnants of Chen Zhonglu. Apart from having a close relationship with you, Mr. Wei, you must have a strong military force. Otherwise, how could you boast that you dare not go to Haikou?" Move him? But the allied forces know very little about the strength of Huaxiang County, why not take this opportunity to find out the truth."

What Lin Rang said is correct, Wu Zitai openly challenged the imperial court and took in the rest of Chen Zhonglu's troops, is it just because he has friendship with Wei Man?

It's not that he has friendship with the little emperor, he just has friendship with General Hussars, so he took in the rest of the evil, isn't this too hearty?

In addition to this relationship, Wuzitai's military strength is definitely not weak, and it can openly challenge the court, which is why it is ambitious to swallow Chen Zhonglu's remaining troops.

Wu Zitai sent the invitation post this time, obviously wanting to find out the reality of Wei Man, and Lin Rang happened to also want to find out the reality of Wu Zitai.

"By the way..."

Lin Rang narrowed his eyes, with an invisible smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a cold voice, "Rang wants to see how sacred this Wuzitai is."

Wei Man: "..." How do you feel, Lin Rang is still eating?But illusion?

Lin Rang spoke up, and Wei Man also felt that it made sense, so he asked Mr. Duan Su to write a reply, telling Wu Zitai that he would visit in person.

Lin Rang did some homework in the past few days. This Wuzitai used to be Chen Zhonglu's old department, but after Chen Zhonglu proclaimed himself emperor, Wuzitai did not communicate with Chen Zhonglu. connect.

Later, when Chen Zhonglu died, his old troops were very frightened. Wuzitai had enough troops near Huaizhong, and it was a great shelter. Everyone was ready to take refuge in this former "colleague".

Wu Zitai was greedy for the troops of Chen Zhonglu's former troops. If he annexed these troops and added the existing troops, then he could try the world and come to compete with other heroes!

Wu Zitai had worked so hard for these soldiers and horses, but now he wanted to find out what Wei Man said.

Coincidentally, Lu Jinyu knew the situation in Huaxiang very well, and Lin Rang got some news about Wuzitai from Lu Jinyu.

Lu Jinyu said that Wuzitai was brave and good at fighting, and he was well-known in the local area. He was a hero. When he was young, he was good at fighting against injustice.

Later, he made meritorious deeds, because of his bravery and good military skills, his power gradually increased and he became the prefect of one party.

After becoming the prefect, Wu Zitai became more and more complacent and arrogant day by day. It can be said that he was "the noble pet and charming man", and he no longer knew his real name back then.

Lin Rang had a general understanding of Wuzitai's situation. In the past two days, he often got "tired" with his "first love" Mr. Lu.

It wasn't long before Wu Yan and Lu Jinyu got on good terms. At the time when they were gluey, Lin Rang always went in and out of Lu Jinyu's house, and even bullied Lu Jinyu. He knew that he was asking Lu Jinyu for homework, but he didn't know I thought they were "talking at night by candlelight".

Wu Yan was very fond of it, but it was not easy to tell Lu Jinyu clearly, because he always felt that he was very petty and lost his general demeanor.

So Wu Yan thought of a way and told Wei Man.

Wei Man has been relatively busy these days, and he is always busy. Every time he returns to the palace, Lin Rang has already returned, so he doesn't know that he always runs to Lu Jinyu, and when he hears Wu Yan's "small report", Only then did he suddenly realize that Lin Rang had been dishonest these past few days.

This day, Lin Rang was going to go to Lu Jinyu to do his homework again. Wei Man had been prepared to kill him halfway, and stopped in front of Lin Rang with a dodge, and said murderously, "Where are you going? Who are you going to see? What are you going to do?" ?”

Lin Rang looked at Wei Man, thought for a while, and said, "Go...to meet your first love?"

Wei Man: "..."

Wei Man almost grabbed the ground with his head in an instant, Lin Rang's heart became darker and darker.

Seeing that Wei Man's face was stiff, Lin Rang couldn't help but chuckled. Wei Man grabbed Lin Rang and refused to let him go, saying, "I'm going to Wuzitai's camp for a banquet in the afternoon, and you can't go anywhere now. , and stay with Gu."

Wu Zitai prepared a banquet, but naturally it was not on his own plate in Huaxiang County. After all, inviting people to drink on his own site is either inviting the king into the urn, or opening the door to meet the enemy. Whether it is the host or the guest, it must be uneasy.

Therefore, Wuzitai left the county town on purpose, and stationed in the suburbs near Huaizhong and Huaxiang, and set up camp, where the two armies met, which was more convenient for everyone.

Wei Man and Lin Rang came to the banquet, Xia Yuanyun personally led the army, the mastermind Duan Su followed, and of course Wei Man's personal bodyguard Zhao Dian was indispensable.

This team can be said to be foolproof, protected like an iron bucket.

Everyone drove their horses, and they saw Wuzitai's camp from a distance. The camp was square and the soldiers lined up at the gate. At first glance, it was a well-trained and elite army with strict military discipline.

Wei Man observed without any trace. He hadn't seen Wu Zitai for many years. Although he was a friend of eight worshippers back then, who knows what the other party has become after so many years?

Before their soldiers and horses came to the camp, the soldiers in charge of looking out had seen them and immediately passed on the word.

Soon, the gate of the camp opened with a loud bang, and a general dressed in a jacket came out to greet him, and said with his hands clasped: "General Hussars, this humble general is the history of Cao Cao under Duke Wu's command. ,please."

Gongcao Shi is the assistant official of the county guard, and Yu Ziyuan, the governor of Daizhou today, was the Gongcao Shi of Wuhan Taishou Yang Yue.

Gongcao Shi led the people into the camp and said, "I will guide you, please."

Although it was only a temporary camp, the camp was filled with awe. Two rows of soldiers and horses stood side by side in the same way. Each soldier held a gun and looked intently. It was obvious that the private soldiers showed them.

Everyone followed Gong Cao Shi into the camp, and were quickly led into a tent.

Gongcao Shi smiled and said, "General Hussars, please wait a moment."

Wei Man nodded, since the other party treated him so politely, they must be courteous before fighting.

Wei Man then said, "Thank you."

Gong Cao Shi said: "Don't dare not dare."

After saying that, he quickly retreated to invite their lord, Wu Zitai.

Lin Rang sat on the table and looked around. This is obviously not a place to eat, and the banquet must be prepared elsewhere.

After a while, Gongcao Shi came back and said very respectfully: "Duke Wei, please, please follow me."

Everyone stood up and followed Gong Cao Shi out of the tent, ready to go to the tent where the banquet was held, but after walking a few steps, Gong Cao Shi stopped and hesitated a bit.

Then he said: "Everyone, to tell you the truth, my lord's dinner with Duke Wei today is actually mostly for reminiscing about the old days, so..."

When he said this, he hesitated and couldn't continue. Lin Rang looked at the history of meritorious service and said, "So what?"

Gongcao Shi laughed dryly and said, "Therefore, my lord only invited Wei Gong alone, so I hope all the governors and generals can be considerate. My lord has already prepared other banquets. Please eat here."

When everyone heard it, the martial arts stage was so big, only Wei Man was invited to have a meal alone, and the others needed to avoid it. What kind of excuse is this?

That Gong Cao Shi didn't know the relationship between Wei Man and Lin Rang, so he dug his own grave and said: "My lord and Wei Gong are friends of eight worshippers. They were friends who cut their necks in the past. Naturally, they have some personal words, which need to be discussed in private. , everyone, please follow me in the future."

Xia Yuanyun spoke bluntly, and said: "How did this happen?! Although you Wugong and the lord had acquaintances for eight years, you haven't seen each other for several years, and you have taken in the remnants of traitors. Now you invite the lord to meet alone. Who knows what is sold in the gourd?" medicine?"

Gongcao Shi's complexion suddenly looked difficult, and he was very embarrassed, and said: "This...General Xia, you have misunderstood my lord, my lord has never meant to be negligent, I think back then, my lord once saved General Hushi from danger In the meantime, how can such a person who draws his sword to help and stabs his side with a knife secretly make a trip?"

Mr. Duan Su was more tactful, and said with a smile: "Although it is said so, human nature will change. Now we have traveled all the way to the banquet, and Wu Gong has no reason. There are three or six or nine classes, isn't it? ?”

Mr. Duan Su said again: "Furthermore, even if your Duke Wu has no intention of harming others, if you are ambushed by others, there will be no one to take care of you at that time, right?"

Just as Gongcao Shi was about to speak, Mr. Duan Su asked the question for the third time, saying: "Besides, Gongcao loves your lord very much, but he is also loyal. How can he not feel sorry for his own lord? He is a minister and does not serve the lord. What's the point of running to eat and drink by yourself? Isn't it?"

Three rhetorical questions, Cao Shi was speechless.

Gongcao Shi couldn't say anything about Mr. Duan Su, his face was extremely embarrassing, and he said, "This... this, this..."

Gongcao Shi hesitated, but Lin Rang was very forthright, saying: "Mr. Wu must divide our Wei camp into three, six or nine ranks. I don't know whether it is unintentional or deliberately provoking."

"No no no, absolutely no such intention!"

Gongcao Shi hurriedly explained, saying: "Lord Inspector, you have misunderstood..."

"Dare to feel is that the governor has judged the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

When Lin Rang said that, Gong Cao Shi didn't dare to speak.

Lin Rang smiled lightly, his face was as clear as a spring breeze, but when he smiled, it was windy and rainy, as if mixed with ice, cold and cold.

Lin Rang said: "Since Mr. Wu is not sincere, it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time."

As he said, he cupped his hands, then turned around and left quickly, throwing Gong Cao Shi a back view.

When Gong Cao Shi saw it, the governor of Luzhou flung his sleeves and left. Although he didn't want to show face, it was good for him to leave so as not to get in the way here. Anyway, the purpose of the lord this time was to invite Wei Man to a banquet, and Lin Rang was not invited either.

Gong Cao Shi thought so, and quickly said to Wei Man: "Wei Gong, humble general... eh, Wei Gong?!"

Gongcao Shi was talking when he saw Wei Man turn around, as if he was about to leave.

He was taken aback, and he couldn't finish a sentence, so he immediately chased after him.
