Mr. Identity Series

Qi Kang couldn't even eat the meal, but after thinking about it, he felt that things couldn't be so bad. After finally forcing himself to finish the meal, the dishes he originally liked were also boring, so he and Shui Wuyou In this way, he returned to his residence in the city in silence.Then he told Dingdang Xiaominzi that he was going to move to the army outside the city, and the two of them were busy packing up.

Shui Wuyou brought Qi Kang to the backyard, bypassing the garden, where the servants live.Going further back, there is a large vegetable field. It is the beginning of spring at this time, and the vegetable field is full of fresh sprouts. At a glance, there are no other objects to cover except for the city wall and houses tens of meters away. It is an empty place.

Before Qi Kang could ask, Shui Wuyou said, "Since the last time we attacked, I was sure there was a traitor, otherwise, how could anyone know the identity of the prince and send those ten top killers to carry out the mission? It means that he knows His Highness, me, and Yang Qing very well. It's just that he didn't expect this operation to fail."

"I also agree with this, but if you say that Zhang Li is a traitor because of this, it's unlikely. Others know my identity." Qi Kang tried his best to breathe steadily, he didn't want to show panic in front of Shui Wuyou Feel like.

"I didn't doubt Zhang Li either. Although he always refused to let me participate in any meetings about battles, it was because of my identity. There was nothing wrong with him being cautious. But I added a little doubt later, why did the prince When they were attacked, none of the masters sent by Zhang Li showed up?"

Shui Wuyou casually said this matter when the two of them were in Bailiting on the first day.When it was mentioned at this moment, Qi Kang also remembered it, and after being silent for a while, he argued weakly: "Perhaps...General Zhang already believed you, after all, I have been following you for so many days, and I didn't see you trying to harm me. And that patience?"

Shui Wuyou slowly shook his head and said: "No, the day he completely trusts me should be the day I enter the army to participate in important tasks. Since he doesn't fully trust, someone should follow. If he trusts me If I am not allowed to participate in military affairs, then there is only one possibility, do you know what it is?"

Qi Kang's complexion was a little pale, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you afraid that you will see through their intentions?"

Shui Wuyou nodded, and then said: "I asked Yang Qing, he and His Highness killed three bats together that day, and no one showed up to help you from the beginning to the end. If he doesn't care about my life or death, His Highness After escaping alone with Yang Qing, those masters shouldn’t be able to shrink back, right? But I was just a little puzzled at that time, what really made me doubt was this time.”

"How to say?" Qi Kang's face became more serious.

"They have always prevented me from participating in all military affairs. Why did they suddenly change their attitude because of this disastrous defeat before this major battle? Not only that, they also let me live in the army with His Highness, if I guessed correctly If so, I can participate in every meeting after that. However, this should not be a kind of trust, because there is no reason to suddenly start trusting me. Then, this should be a trap.”

"Why do they plan to deal with you like this? Could it be... to kill me?" Qi Kang frowned: "If you want to kill me, just send some more assassins. Why bother?"

"It's not about killing us. After the failure of the assassination operation, there was no more assassination operations. This is against common sense. Thinking of calling us over this time suddenly, and putting on such a generous gesture. Then, if Zhang Li is a traitor, he There is only one purpose in doing this. He wants me to be a scapegoat. He wants to stay in the court perfectly after this battle, and continue to give us the final blow to Ran State, which has been deeply damaged. At that time, even if It’s a change of dynasty, so what’s impossible?”

"Sir..." Qi Kang tremblingly called out, and sat down on the ground, the word change of dynasty was too shocking, and if it was true as Shui Wuyou said, then Zhang Li's plan was too vicious, he didn't even dare believe.

Shui Wuyou was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "This is just my inference, there is no evidence to prove it for me. The reason why I am telling you now, and the consequences are so serious, is to make you score 12 points Your spirit, you are already 15 years old, I will let you learn the first step of fighting in the army. Your Royal Highness, from today onwards, you must learn to hide your emotions, the more you are afraid of anger, the more you have to laugh Like a spring breeze. You have to keep all your thoughts in your heart, and once you act, you will be thunderous, and you will not give anyone a chance to fight back..."

Since Shui Wuyou became Qi Kang's husband, this time he taught Qi Kang the most knowledge.None of this knowledge comes from books, and it goes against the principles of Confucius and Mencius taught by great Confucians.However, Qi Kang felt that these words were much more useful and practical than those great principles.

"Sir, you won't sit still, will you? If you have read their thoughts." Finally, Qi Kang finally asked the question in his heart. For him now, Shui Wuyou is his reliance.

"Of course, if I let them succeed so easily, do I still have the face to claim to be the number one fox in the Southern Dynasty army?" Shui Wuyou untied the gourd at his waist and took a sip complacently: "Okay, don't think too much , His Royal Highness, we will go to the army tomorrow, and I want to see whether General Zhang is a human or a ghost, and what tricks they have to deal with me."

◇

"His Royal Highness, I have a word that I must tell you clearly today."

In the spacious big tent, there are only Zhang Li, Wang Zijian and Qi Kang.Shui Wuyou went out early in the morning, saying that he wanted to investigate the situation in the army, while Qi Kang followed his orders to check Zhang Li's tone and reality, but he didn't expect that just after sitting down and chatting for a few words, the two generals in front of him That is, his complexion changed, and he said something that made Qi Kang's heart skip a beat.

"Two generals, if you have anything to say, please speak up." Qi Kang smiled, took a sip of the tea in front of him, feeling a little flustered for some reason.

"Your Highness, please be careful of Shui Wuyou. Since the day he followed His Highness, everything he has done up to now has his intentions in it. Even the last assassination incident, the ministers also suspected that it was him. The main envoy. Its purpose is to gain His Highness’s trust in order to obtain more benefits.”

"what……"

Qi Kang yelled, and could no longer control the shock in his heart. Yesterday Shui Wuyou told himself that Zhang Li might be a traitor.These two people turned against him today, whose words are more credible?Or do they all have their own ghosts?

When he thought of this, he felt a stream of sweat winding down his back, but his face remained calm, and he still pretended to be a little surprised and said, "Did the two generals make a mistake? Sir, he treated me very well, and taught me too." I have a lot of knowledge, how could he be a spy? What's more, he was seriously injured last time to save me, and almost lost his life. There is no need to use cruel tricks to this extent, right?" Please respect the fruits of other people's labor and do not spread it at will , If you like this book, please buy the original version.

Wang Zijian said seriously: "Your Highness, you must not be fooled by this person. Please think carefully, there are no such coincidences in the world. Your Highness's identity is exposed, and there is a traitor. However, since the prince is going to be killed, how can you kill him?" Maybe just send those ten trash. We all know Shui Wuyou's martial arts is strong, but we also know that he is weak and can't last long. Wouldn't it be strange for the next seven people to rush to Yang Qing?"

"But...but...he is desperately supporting..." Qi Kang explained, he couldn't deny that these words shook Shui Wuyou's position in his heart, which made him even more afraid.

"That's why, Your Highness, we visited him afterwards and saw that he was injured in many places, but it was just a coincidence that none of the injuries caused death. And those ten people are well-known despicable and shameless people in the world. In this case, they only need to smear a little poison on their weapons, and even Shui Wuyou will not be able to escape the poisonous hands, such a simple method, why are they useless? Could it be that they forgot? "

"Maybe...maybe..." Qi Kang frowned, and said a couple of maybes, but he couldn't go on. He just felt that there were a lot of doubts in it after careful deliberation.a family of scholars

Zhang Li continued: "Your Highness, we are all martial arts practitioners. Since Shui Wuyou knows the identities of those people, he should have a certain grasp of the opponent's and his own strength. If he can defeat seven with one, the prince and the prince will be left behind." Isn't Yang Qing more helpful? Why did he throw the prince and Yang Qing out of the circle first? On the surface, this is such a touching sacrifice, but he didn't die in the end, he was just injured. If I were the prince , I must be very grateful, and I will regard him as a confidant from now on, but the more so, the more people will not be suspicious, this kind of drama is a bit too much."

"Maybe he's just in a hurry..." Qi Kang frowned even tighter. He knew that he had gradually begun to believe Zhang Li's words. It's because of his great military exploits, compared with Shui Wuyou, a surrendered minister, Zhang Li has an advantage in terms of status.

But Qi Kang didn't want himself to believe what Zhang Li said. He tried his best to think back to what Shui Wuyou had taught him since getting along with him. That's right, he was greedy for a little wine, stingy and greedy for money, and occasionally he was willing to play a romantic talent. However, his eyes are so clear, and his whole body is so simple, how could such a person be a traitor, how could he want to harm himself?

"Your Highness, we called him over yesterday just to test his attitude. The canyon is extremely mysterious. If it wasn't for the traitor, such a coincidence would never have happened. However, he has denied the existence of the traitor. Now it seems that, He is already in the same breath as this traitor in the army, Your Highness, these two, or more traitors, are like poisonous snakes around us, and must be eliminated..."

As soon as Zhang Li said this, he saw Qi Kang stand up abruptly, and said coldly: "Everything is guesswork by you and others. Before there is no actual evidence, I will not agree with you to hurt Mr. Word."

Wang Zijian and Zhang Li looked at each other, Wang Zijian said solemnly: "Your Highness wants evidence, so we will show it to His Highness. Does Your Highness know the location of Lichun Yuan?"

As soon as they mentioned Lichunyuan, Qi Kang's heart was turned again.That was the place where Shui Wuyou went to prostitute that day, and he had followed her before.No one knew about this matter except the few of them. He didn't understand how Zhang Li and Wang Zijian would suddenly mention this place.

Then Wang Zijian bowed and said: "The old bustard in Lichun Courtyard is a spy of Yili Kingdom. I have already found out, but because I want to catch a big fish, so I have not touched her. Before that, Shui Wuyou He has been frequenting the Lichun Courtyard, and he has stopped these days since he was injured. Your Highness, Tomorrow Minister and others will hold a military meeting, invite all the generals to participate, and tell you a big trap for the next battle against Yili. We only look at Shui Wu You will know what your attitude is. But His Highness must follow Shui Wuyou's attitude, so as not to make him suspicious of you, and we will let His Highness know whether he is loyal or traitor later."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Qi Kang gritted his teeth, turned around and left the handsome tent, stood in the open space and looked around blankly for a while, then suddenly lowered his head and sighed: "Sir...you...can't be a real traitor , I... still believe in you, you...you must not disappoint the students' expectations."

Although his heart is still inclined to Shui Wuyou's side, even though he strongly hopes that Shui Wuyou can prove his innocence with facts.However, Qi Kang is the prince of Ran Kingdom after all, and he knows that what he bears is the national destiny and the country of Ran Kingdom, so he can't be sloppy at all, and he can't be swayed by personal feelings.

Because of this, Qi Kang buried that little bit of fear and worry in his heart, and didn't show it on his face, even Xiao Minzi, who knew his mind best, didn't notice it at all.If Shui Wuyou knows that his students apply what they have learned so much, and immediately apply the "emotion and anger not visible" that he taught here, I don't know if he will be very pleased.

Shui Wuyou didn't come back until night.There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day around [-]:[-] a.m., a lieutenant came to invite Qi Kang and Shui Wuyou to gather in the commander's tent for a meeting.

When everyone was present, Wang Zijian pulled back the curtain on the wall, and saw a big map on it.Then Zhang Li briefly talked about the recent battle situation, analyzed the strength and pros and cons of the two armies, then came to the map, pointed to a place and said: "Since the enemy and our armies are at a stalemate, and our army suffered a disastrous defeat a few days ago. , so now we must use a victory to boost morale."

Shui Wuyou looked at the place on the map, frowned suddenly, and said, "Marshal, are you trying to lure the enemy into this depression?"

"Exactly." Zhang Li glanced at Shui Wuyou in some surprise, then gave a thumbs up and praised, "Sure enough, Mr. Shui is a wise man. I discussed it with General Wang. The depression here faces high mountains on both sides." , facing the Xiaohe River to the east, and the only exit to the west, after they enter the depression, send a large army to block their retreat, and then they can catch the turtle in the urn."

Shui Wuyou nodded and said, "Sounds like a clever plan, but there are three problems."

Wang Zijian quickly said: "I would like to hear more about it, Mr. Shui, please tell me."

Shui Wuyou glanced at him, and said with a leisurely smile: "First, the depression here is very wide and the mountains are steep. If we seize the opportunity, it will be a good place to fight to the death and seriously hurt the opponent's vitality. How about luring the enemy? This place is so dangerous, the enemy will not be easily fooled."

Zhang Li smiled and said, "This handsome man has his own tricks, Lord Shui, please rest assured. Please tell me the second point."

Shui Wuyou stared at Zhang Li for a while, nodded and said, "Secondly, Marshal, is the terrain of Xiaohe higher than the depression?"

Zhang Li glanced back at the map, nodded and said, "Oh, that's right."

Shui Wuyou said: "That's it, I would like to ask the Marshal, once the enemy army enters, quickly occupy the high ground, divert the water of the Xiao River to quickly flow back to the lowlands, and another part of the army blocks the exit, what happens to the captured turtles?" , I'm afraid it will become us?"

Zhang Li and Wang Zijian's faces changed color, and all the generals were horrified, whispering to each other.Qi Kang sat firmly in the middle of the seat, quietly observing the expressions of Shui Wuyou and Zhang Li Wangzijian.

"Master Shui is right. However, this is impossible." Zhang Li pointed to the map and said, "One is that although the Xiaohe River is in the east of the depression, and the terrain is relatively high, its flow direction is north-south, unless digging Otherwise, the Xiaohe River can only act as a barrier, how could it flow backwards? Unless the other party knows our battle plan in advance and prepares carefully."

Shui Wuyou said with a smile: "Marshal Zhang is right, this is the third thing I want to say. The marshal has summoned many generals today, how can he guarantee that none of them will leak the secrets? Forgive me for being presumptuous, such confidential combat content, The Marshal shouldn’t have announced it with such fanfare.”

Qi Kang's heart skipped a beat, and he said yes, the marshal and the others set up this battle plan to prove his identity as a traitor, so they didn't avoid suspicion, but he didn't know this.He is extremely smart, if he is really a traitor, I don't know if he can see through this loophole, really, Zhang Li and the others are too careless.

When Qi Kang was thinking this way, he didn't realize that he had chosen to believe in Zhang Li Wang Zijian subconsciously, and turned his suspicious eyes on Shui Wuyou.

But in fact, this is also understandable. Whoever is in such a situation, on the one hand, is loyal and good for generations, and on the other hand, he is a general from the Southern Dynasty. Not to mention Qi Kang, who is only 15 years old, even his shrewd old man like a fox must be Like him, he would choose to doubt Shui Wuyou.

Seeing Zhang Li chuckled, he said calmly, "Master Shui, don't worry, these generals are brothers who follow me through life and death, so there is no need to avoid suspicion. What's more, the battle plan we made today can be followed in the future. Even if someone informs you about the decisive battle at this time, unless the Yili army flies over with wings and spends another seven or eight days digging ditches, the situation you are worried about will never happen.”

Shui Wuyou smiled and said: "That's right." Then he said nothing, and the plan was settled under the eagerness of the generals.

After leaving the handsome tent, Qi Kang looked at Shui Wuyou pretending to be excited, and eagerly asked, "Sir, do you think this plan is perfect? ​​Why don't we go to the battlefield together?"

Shui Wuyou looked at Qi Kang, and suddenly said: "You think this plan is very good, don't you? Then the second situation I mentioned, have you considered it? Once it happens, we will be wiped out. "

Qi Kang scratched his head and said, "But Marshal Zhang also said that even if the Yili army knows about it now, it's too late to dig the canal."

Shui Wuyou looked at him intently, then sighed, lowered his eyes and said, "There are some things I know I shouldn't say, but right now it's life and death, and I have to say it. Your Highness, although I don't know Zhang Li and Wang Zijian I said something to you, but, you have already started to doubt me, haven't you?"

In a word, Shi Potian was shocked, and Qi Kang felt that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.However, he did not forcefully restrain his frightened emotions, but looked at Shui Wuyou, and exclaimed, "Sir, you...how could you say that?" At this time, the more flustered he is, the more realistic he will be .

"Because you have completely looked at the problem from their point of view. This means that you no longer guard against them as spies in your heart. Otherwise, you should have thought that this battle plan was formulated by them. Although it was only announced today, But it can be formulated earlier. If so, they have informed the army of Ili in advance, and our army will enter that depression, and there will be no return.”

Qi Kang felt that his body was covered with cold sweat again.He did not consider this possibility. It turned out that he had already chosen to believe in Zhang Li and Wang Zijian in his heart.For a moment, he felt mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.

Shui Wuyou looked into Qi Kang's eyes, where he had already found the answer.

Sighing lightly, he touched Qi Kang's head, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, it's not your fault. One is loyal and good for generations, and the other is a vassal from another country. The gains and losses, the balance of feelings, anyone would be the same as you." The same choice. Even I would do the same as you.”

"First...Mister..." Qi Kang looked up at Shui Wuyou in confusion, with a sense of urgency in his eyes: "Sir, you won't be a traitor, right? You won't let me down, right?"

Shui Wuyou smiled and said: "Your Highness, you are a genius of the Holy King. In this matter, you can blindly trust me without being influenced by my feelings and your feelings. This makes me very happy. But I must Let me tell you, this matter is related to the life and death of Ran Guo, it must not be trifled with, you must let yourself look like a torch, you can doubt me, but don't trust Marshal Zhang completely, you should trust yourself most, understand me words?"

Qi Kang nodded, thought for a while and said cautiously: "Then...then I suspect you, won't you be angry?"

"Of course not." Shui Wuyou laughed, and then touched his nose, "Although, this result makes me feel a little uncomfortable as a surrender, but as your husband, I am very happy to see your progress. Your Highness , everyone says that being an emperor is good, but everyone only sees the benefits of being an emperor, but they don't know that the emperor is the loneliest person in the world. Because they can't trust anyone, and in their life, not only the king Happiness and domineering, and more, loneliness full of suspicion and suspicion.”

"Hey, sir, let me just say this, I don't even want to be an emperor anymore." Qi Kang glared at Shui Wuyou, "I want you to teach me how to be a better emperor, not for you to teach me how to be a better emperor." How am I supposed to run away before the throne arrives?"

"Hahaha..." Shui Wuyou couldn't help laughing loudly, nodded and said: "Okay, very good, Your Highness, just now I made a slip of the tongue. Your Highness is still in the midst of such a major event, but still has a sense of humor, which shows that he has gradually calmed down , Congratulations Your Highness, you are one step closer to the correct way of king."

Qi Kang also laughed, and after laughing, he fixed his eyes on Shui Wuyou, sighed again: "Sir, no matter what, I hope you... don't disappoint me."

"If I don't disappoint you, then if Zhang Li disappoints you. Weighing the pros and cons, you should hope that he doesn't disappoint you."

While talking, Shui Wuyou walked forward again, thought for a while and then shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, a pity, my own heart, the sun and the moon can learn from each other. In the end, the only thing that will disappoint His Highness is tension."

Qi Kang felt panicked in his heart, if Zhang Li was really a traitor, not only would Ran Guo be in danger, but he himself would be like a fish caught in a net.

Walking all the way, the more he thought about it, the more bored he became, and suddenly he realized that Shui Wuyou had brought him to the east of the city, and he was surprised: "Sir, why did you bring me here?"

Shui Wuyou looked around, nodded and said: "Whether Zhang Li is a traitor or not, we will know at a glance, let's go, go to that depression to have a look." Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, couldn't help touching his nose and smiling He said: "Oh, by the way, His Highness, with a body of ten thousand gold, can't go to an empty place alone, why don't you go back first, or we can call Yang Qing to come here."

Qi Kang's heart skipped a beat, and then he said calmly: "Sir, don't worry too much, even if you are a traitor, you would not choose to kill me at this time, otherwise it would be a small loss, so I will take a look at the depression with you. how."

Shui Wuyou gave a thumbs up, and said with a long smile, "When the king lands, the world is full of power. The king should have such courage and brains. Okay, let's go." After speaking, he walked towards the depression marked on the map.

Looking around the depression, even Qi Kang was stunned, and said to himself, "My God, if we ambushed here, wouldn't we be able to wipe out [-] to [-] enemy troops?"

Shui Wuyou nodded and said: "That's right, I didn't expect the terrain here to be so open. If Zhang Li is not a traitor and this plan works, then the end of this war is already decided, and the vitality of Yili Kingdom must be greatly damaged."

"But if he's a traitor, we'll be the ones who will seriously damage the vitality and even destroy the country, right?" Qi Kang rolled his eyes at Shui Wuyou, "Sir, you don't have to remind me all the time, I'm not so stupid yet Because of the momentary huge profits, the immediate danger is forgotten.”

"Oh, I can teach such a smart student in my life, and I don't have any regrets watching him step by step to the throne of the king." Shui Wuyou laughed and winked at Qi Kang. Such a cute appearance is rare, for a moment, Qi Kang couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

But seeing Shui Wuyou walking east again, Qi Kang followed behind him, and after a while, hearing the roar of the river, he knew that he had come to the Xiao River.

"Could it be that we guessed wrong?"

Shui Wuyou inspected it carefully, then straightened up and looked at the billowing and roaring Xiaohe in the distance, he was a little confused for a while, secretly thought that if Zhang Li and the others were really traitors, and wanted to use this to fight and treason, there should be no rivers here Ah, at least there should be some signs, but the river bank is flat land, and there is not even a piece of turf raised.

I walked around and didn't find any signs.He frowned, and suddenly said to Qi Kang: "Your Highness, could it be that I judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? There are indeed no traps around here."

Qi Kang thought in his heart: Certainly not, because this battle might not happen at all, everything is because Zhang Li and Wang Zijian set up a trick to catch you.But sir, I...I trust you very much, so...so you must not disappoint me.

Back in the army, Shui Wuyou's brows were tightly furrowed, and he never relaxed them.After eating at noon, I went to the big rock in the open space in front of the camp alone to think silently.Qi Kang tried to persuade him several times, but he refused to leave, so he had no choice but to leave.
