Get out of the way, the prime minister is mine!

The suggestion that Zuo Pushe made suddenly, the Taiwei naturally wouldn't think that he was really aware of it.From what Zuo Pushe said at the beginning, to Chu Wenhao's Sacred Heart Joy, it was clearly a scene.

Zhang Zhenqiu could see clearly that this matter must have been brought up by Zuo Pushe under Chu Wenhao's signal, but he didn't know why the emperor would suddenly mention these things.

For a long time, it is not uncommon to send imperial envoys to visit the army, mostly for a formality, and go back to deal with the emperor.But this time the emperor did not know why he brought up this matter, did he really want to show compassion for the soldiers?

Zhang Zhenqiu couldn't help but think of the lock that had been tampered with in the ancestral hall in Fuzhong before. He went inside and looked carefully, there was no trace of tampering, and he couldn't tell whether someone had entered it.

Zhang Zhenqiu was cautious, but he was not sure who would move the lock for a while.That night, the son and son-in-law were all drunk, and the only outsider was his nephew. Could it be that a thief came in from outside?

If someone really entered the ancestral hall and saw the imperial decree, what would they do?Would you guess that you have something to do with Lord Drew?Which side does this belong to, and will the imperial envoy this time be related to this matter?

Zhang Zhenqiu couldn't make a judgment, but the prelude to the storm made Zhang Zhenqiu make a decisive decision. This year, he must stop contact with the homeless people, and he will not take any risk.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhenqiu returned to the mansion, wrote a secret letter and sent it to Xicang.

However, in a few days, the officials named as imperial envoys were settled down. Zhang Zhenqiu, who was worried at first, saw that the official who went to Xicang was Shi Lixun. Thinking of Shi Lixun's lust and smoothness, he felt a little relieved.Those who have a handle are not so scary.

How did Zhang Zhenqiu know that under this calm expression, there is already a huge net that is closing in on him?The imperial envoys sent to Xicang, the spies who kept an eye on Gan Yong, the people looking for survivors, and Jiang Ziliu, who was waiting for the opportunity to explore the Taiwei's mansion again, were all secretly accumulating strength.

This investigation, is the time when the New Year is approaching.

Far away from Xicang, in a luxurious tent, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged.The man had a rough and tough face. He was sitting on a snow wolf skin with two beads coiled in his hands, but his face looked a bit gloomy.

"King, if this goes on like this, I'm afraid there will be turmoil down here." Standing below was a man with a big knife on his back. He was full of beards, and he was particularly sturdy, with a buzzing voice, "At this time in previous years, the exchange has been completed." , but this year he insists on shutting down the city, this damned Shi Lie, isn't he playing tricks on us?"

The man sitting above is named Hua Rouji, one of the tribal leaders among the homeless people, and one of the grandsons of the original Yuan Kingdom emperor.He is brave and good at fighting, the most intelligent, and the other tribes are jealous of him.

Hua Rouji said in a low voice: "Wait a little longer, he dare not break his promise, after all he dare not provoke this king."

The bearded man said: "This year's weather is particularly bad. The grass on the grassland is completely submerged. Although the animals in captivity can eat hay, it is even worse for us as humans. If we kill the animals in captivity, we will not be able to survive next year." But if we don’t eat, we will starve to death now, king, we can’t wait like this.”

"What about the other tribes?" Hua Rouji asked.

"Other tribes are even worse. They wanted to rely on the opening of the market before. They didn't store food in early spring. Now, they don't even cover their clothes, and the food has long been exhausted. Now some people have starved to death. died."

"Stupid thing, this king has long said not to pin your hopes on others." Hua Rouji snorted coldly, "Let's not move, we are not the ones who are in a hurry, even if it is to grab food, it is not us who are in the lead." .”

Hua Rouji guessed right, it wasn't him who was most anxious, but those tribes who ran out of food due to lack of preparation.Because their eyes were starved from hunger, everyone was thinking of rebellion. The leader of the tribe had no choice but to resort to means if he wanted to keep people.

But everyone in the tribe is the same, there is no food, and Hua Rouji is relatively more calm, but he may not be able to rob him.In addition, he must not have much food, so he naturally set his target on Xicang.

Shi Lie is a member of Zhang Zhenqiu. Over the years, under Zhang Zhenqiu's instructions, he secretly exchanged goods with homeless people and opened the market secretly.But there is only one person who knows Zhang Zhenqiu's identity, and that is Hua Rouji.

Hua Rouji is someone Zhang Zhenqiu thinks can be an ally, so he naturally knows that Shi Lie was stumbled by the new imperial envoy.Over the years, Zhang Zhenqiu secretly did not know how many supplies he had delivered to the homeless people. Hua Rouji had also grown from an inconspicuous little leader to a target that other leaders would not dare to provoke.

Eight years ago, Hua Rouji led the rest of the tribes to take down General Xu. He was fascinated by the feeling of thousands of troops with a wave of his hand.This is the demeanor he wants, and this is the right he should have, instead of guarding this small tribe and being called the king.

He wants to unify the tribes, restore the Yuan Kingdom again, and become a big country that makes even the Jing Kingdom terrified!

However, although those tribes are weaker than their own, they should not be underestimated. It is not that simple to clean up and complete the great cause of unification.Huarou is basically waiting, waiting for a suitable time.

Like this time, because Shi Lie's side couldn't provide supplies in time, they couldn't hold back anymore.Because the hunger and cold have already reduced their combat effectiveness, as long as they attack Xicang, at this critical moment, Hua Rouji can take the opportunity to annex them.

So Hua Rouji felt that the imperial envoy sent by the Emperor of Jing Kingdom came at just the right time.

Naturally, Shi Lixun didn't know that someone among the vagrants was planning such a plan. After he arrived in Xicang, he was also warmly received by Shi Lie.Even so, Shi Lie obviously covered his eyes and ears, and what he could see was what the other party showed him.

But don't forget that Shi Lixun came here with a secret edict. While he was enjoying himself, he was actually investigating secretly.In addition, the prime minister already has eyeliner here, so he is not really blind.

The borderlands are extremely cold and harsh, Shi Lixun is a civil servant and is used to lust, so naturally he is not a person who can bear hardships.After he arrived at Xicang, he wrapped himself in a fur coat and stood by the stove every day, hugging the beauty that Shi Lie sent up, enjoying himself luxuriously.

After being invited by Shi Lie to speak that day, he came out of the general's tent. The weather was too cold, so he ran back to his tent trembling.Unexpectedly, a blind-eyed soldier just jumped out from another place and bumped into Shi Lixun directly.

"Ouch!" Shi Lixun screamed in pain, and was knocked to the ground by him, but the other party was fine.

"My lord, are you alright, my lord?" The soldier helped Shi Lixun up in fear, and silently stuffed a note into his hand.

Shi Lixun felt something strange when he squeezed his hand, he accepted the note calmly, and said with a cold face: "How do you walk? Are you blind?! Get out!"

The soldier apologized repeatedly, and then left. Shi Lixun went back to the tent and took a look when there was no one there. The note said an address, which was a small mountain near the camp. Some small problems, few people go to.

The signature is a similar plum blossom imprint, which is the same shape as the jade pendant he wears on his belt.And this jade pendant was sent by Prime Minister Qin.

Speaking of this eyeliner, I haven't sent a letter back to the imperial city for many years. In fact, I can't blame anyone, because it is too strict here.Every letter sent out will be disassembled and inspected to find out who it was sent to. If there is any suspicion, it will be detained immediately.

The spies also wanted to keep themselves from being exposed, so they never dared to send letters back.He thought he would stay here until he died in battle, but he didn't expect that the new imperial envoy actually had a logo on his body.

This spy was really very cautious, and even after Shi Lixun arrived at the appointed place in the middle of the night on the grounds that he wanted to relieve himself, he didn't even see anyone.It was just that a letter pressed by a smaller stone was found behind a stone.

Shi Lixun saw that there was no one around, secretly stuffed the letter into his bosom, then relieved himself, and went back to the tent.

That night Shi Lixun drove him away on the grounds that the woman serving him made him unhappy, so he was the only one in the tent.He returned to the tent trembling, first he calmly surrounded the fire to warm his hands and feet, then he climbed into bed and covered himself with a quilt.

After Shi Lixun pretended to sleep for a while, he opened his eyes again and typed the letter carefully. There was only a small candle in the tent, which was quietly burning on the side of the bed, reflecting his increasingly ugly face.

The letters in the letter were very small, and it wasn't just a piece of paper. Each piece of paper was marked with different dates. It was clearly written in different periods, but there was no chance to send it out.Several things were mentioned above, which made Shi Lixun angrier the more he looked at it.

One is that Xicang has become Shi Lie's voice, not only in the military, but also the county guards are Shi Lie's people, doing evil in this area, doing all kinds of evil, and the common people are miserable.

One is that Vice General Lin was seriously ill a few years ago, not because he was really seriously ill, but because he disapproved of Shi Lie's decision, quarreled with him, and was killed on the spot, so such news was sent back to the court .

One is that after Vice General Lin "died of a serious illness", Shi Lie dared to disregard the court's decree and open a market with the vagabonds privately, exchanging food, grass and cloth for the opponent's livestock. .

One is that the soldiers have not received military pay for a long time, and there was even a mutiny, but it was suppressed by Shi Lie. The soldiers who made trouble were all beheaded, and it was said to the outside world that they fought with the vagrants and died in battle. up.

After reading each piece of news, Shi Lixun broke out in a cold sweat and became angry.Don't look at him as lustful, but he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, such a treacherous minister, he doesn't even bother to be with him!

But it is too dangerous here, and if I am a little careless, I am afraid that I will end up in the same end as Vice General Lin.No, he must go back alive and report what he did to His Majesty!

Shi Lixun burned the letter on the candle bit by bit, and then his eyes gradually became firm.
