The sudden disappearance of Jin Kui and several others can give Zeng Kaiqian and Lu Qian a headache, these people are all from the forbidden army, although they are their subordinates, but they have their own backgrounds in Beijing, once something happens, they are the ones who are in trouble.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for them to be harmed by people as members of their forbidden army and Qincha guards, but there must be a reason for the disappearance of living people, and in this Qingzhou City, the only ones who can make these forbidden army soldiers with good martial arts disappear are the government or the official army.

After some hesitation, Zeng Kaiqian finally decided to go to Sun Tu in person to ask him clearly. But before he could put it into action, Sun Tu came to the door first, but he sent the topographical map around Liangshanbo that he had asked for before, as well as a fairly detailed roster of generals at all levels in the Qingzhou Army.

Seeing that Sun Tu was so cooperative, it was really a bit unexpected for Zeng Kaiqian. You must know that the posture he put on at the reception banquet a few days ago was very tough, and it almost made Zeng Shilang think that he was going to be killed, but he didn't expect that Lu Qian went to the camp for a few days, and the things were really delivered to the door.

When he took over these two things, Zeng Kaiqian symbolically thanked him: "This time I will trouble Sun Dujian a lot." ”

"Zeng Jianjun said seriously, this is what this official should do, after all, you and I can cooperate to make my official army stronger, and calm down internal and external troubles as soon as possible." Sun Tu replied with a smile, but Zeng Kaiqian was suspicious, why did he mention internal and external troubles, and the external troubles were Liangshan Bo thieves, so what were the internal troubles.

Immediately, he noticed something strange again, when Sun Tu said this, the afterglow in his eyes was to Lu Qian on the side, it seemed that his attention was not on his side, didn't he say this to himself? This thought made him can't help but glance at Lu Qian again, and found that the other party was nodding imperceptibly, as if echoing Sun Tu's statement.

In this way, the doubts in Zeng Kaiqian's heart were even heavier, and he thought of the fact that he had been asking for two things for more than ten days without success, but Lu Qian only went to the military camp once and asked Sun Tu to personally deliver the things within three days. He is the Qin Mission, why would Sun Tu be so polite to Lu Qian?

Sun Tu didn't seem to care too much about this person's reaction, just casually chatted with him, and then got up to leave. It's just that before leaving, he suddenly said unintentionally: "By the way, this official has a few words I want to talk to Lu Yuhou, and I ask you to go out with me." ”

Although Lu Qian felt strange, but everyone had made an invitation, he naturally didn't dare to refuse, so after smiling at Zeng Kaiqian apologetically, he got up and left the living room behind Sun Tu. It's just that behind him, the suspicion on Zeng Jianjun's face is getting thicker and thicker.

After going out and walking into the courtyard, there was no one around, Sun Tucai suddenly stopped, looked at Lu Qian with a flattering and humble smile on his face, and said, "Lu Yuhou, you should also know how wrong you were in what you did before, right?" In fact, if you follow our thoughts, you must vent your evil anger for Lin Jiaotou this time, it is he who understands the righteousness and cares about the original friendship, so he dissuaded us people. ”

"Little ...... The villain knew that what he did that day was indeed despicable and shameless, but at that time it was also forced by the situation, if I didn't do it, Gao Yanei would definitely not give up, and I would inevitably end up in the same fate, so I ......" Lu Qian panicked in his heart, and defended himself again and again.

Sun Tu naturally disagreed in his heart, his explanation was just self-deception. However, at this time, it was not time to pursue everything, so he said: "Since Sect Leader Lin has already made a decision, I can't go against his will, so this matter is over, I just hope that you can reform in the future, and don't do anything wrong." ”

"Multi-...... Thank you Sun Dujian for his magnanimity, and the lower officials are really grateful! Lu Qian's words were from the bottom of his heart and very excited. He had been panicking about Zeng and Lin Chong's enmity before, and he was careful to sleep at night these days, for fear that someone would appear in front of his bed at night, and he didn't dare to go out, and he really experienced the pain of living like a year.

It wasn't until just now, after Sun Tu said these words, that he relaxed, feeling that his little fate had been saved.

In fact, when he was in Bianjing, he really didn't take Qingzhou too seriously, even if Sun Tu had a good reputation, in his opinion, he could easily deal with it, after all, they were sent by the imperial court, how dare the local government disobey? But after seeing those unruly generals, especially the terrifying murderous aura of many soldiers in the barracks, he was really afraid, so at this time, he had already thrown Gao Yu's entrustment aside, and saving his life was the first thing.

Sun Tu looked at his relieved appearance, smiled again, and then patted him on the shoulder: "As long as you do a good job in my Qingzhou in the future, this official will naturally want to cultivate you like other brothers, make contributions, and it is not difficult to make a name for yourself in the court." ”

"The villain understands, I will definitely do my best to contribute to the capital prison!" Lu Qian hurriedly answered again, and at the same time bent down and clenched his fists, and the humble look was almost for Sun Tu to kneel. Until he accompanied Sun Tu out and turned back again, his whole body was wrapped in joy, since Sun Dujian said so, he could naturally put a hundred and twenty hearts.

It was only when he returned to the outer hall and saw Zeng Kaiqian, whose face was slightly gloomy, that the joy in Lu Qian's heart was extinguished, and the latter was looking at him with some suspicion and dissatisfaction.

"Squire, ...... are you" After a while, Lu Qian finally asked with some apprehension.

"What did Sun Dujian talk about with you? Can it make you full of joy and bow again? Zeng Kaiqian stared at him and asked.

"This ......" Lu Qian suddenly hesitated, that matter could not be put on the table at the beginning, if it was spread out, it would inevitably be despised by many people, and now it was finally forgiven by Lin Chong, if it was spread again, it was difficult to say what would happen. Moreover, this person who was not a high-ranking person was even more unlikely to keep it secret for him in such matters, so in line with the idea that more things are better than less, he quickly made a choice, and said with a forced smile: "I didn't say anything, I just instructed the lowly to do a good job in the future, and encouraged the villain a few words." ”

"Really?" Zeng Kaiqian could not have believed his remarks. Before, he suspected that Lu Qian had some ulterior relationship with Sun Tu, but now this suspicion is naturally even heavier. However, officials like him have always liked to overcomplicate simple matters, so it is impossible to ask them directly at this time, but just look at each other thoughtfully. was a little furious by the other party, and Lu Qian could only find another topic: "By the way, when the Shicai Sun Dujian arrived, why didn't Zeng Shilang ask him about Jin Kui's disappearance?" ”

It's good that he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Zeng Kaiqian was even more annoyed, did he not want to mention it, it was Sun Tu who didn't give him a chance to mention it at all, so he said a few words of gossip, and actually got up to leave. This made his face more and more gloomy, and he snorted: "You don't need this official to come forward for such things, right?" Since you are so concerned, then you can go to the barracks and ask, at least let them help you look around, such a few big living people will not disappear for no reason, right? ”

"Obedience." Lu Qian hurriedly got up and answered, and then said tentatively: "I don't know if the waiter has any other instructions?" If not, the lower official will retire first. ”

"Go ahead, the official's body is not well, don't bother me if you're fine." Zeng Kaiqian angrily asked him to leave. After he was busy leaving, Zeng Kaiqian stared at the other party with deeper suspicion: "Could it be that this Lu Qian has really been in the same league with Sun Tu and them?" If this is the case, my situation in Qingzhou will become more and more difficult, I really didn't expect that the civil and military officials in Qingzhou would be so bold that they didn't take me seriously at all......"

At this time, Zeng Kaiqian had already had powerlessness and hesitation in his heart, which he had never imagined before, and at this time, it was only half a month before he arrived in Qingzhou.

Lu Qian was originally a military attaché, so it was really reasonable for him to collude with Sun Tu. But as a royal court envoy and a supervisor, it is obviously impossible for him to surrender to Sun Tu's subordinates, not to mention that his self-esteem makes him unable to do such a thing - the Great Song Dynasty is noble and martial, how could there ever be a matter of a dignified eunuch bowing to a metropolitan eunuch - and the imperial court will never allow such a thing to happen. If that's the case, Cai Jing, who sent him here, will make him unable to eat and walk around.

So things still have to be done, but Lu Qian has to be excluded first, otherwise before the thing is done, Sun Tu is afraid that he already knows everything. After making up his mind, he took the list of generals and looked at it carefully: "I have to find a person who is not low-status, but may not be able to be reused by Sun Tu, and may have resentment as a breakthrough." Just open a gap, and the rest will be easy. ”

Looking at the names and experience positions, Zeng Kaiqian soon set his sights on one person - Qi Victory!

This person is a veteran who has been in Qingzhou for a long time, and he has made a lot of contributions before, but as Sun Tu continues to recruit people, the power in his hands is constantly being reduced these days, and I am afraid that there will inevitably be resentment in his heart......

Moreover, more importantly, this person has always trained the army well, and has won the support of Qingzhou veterans, once he can pull him to his side, the effect is several times that of other generals.

"That's it!" Zeng Kaiqian stared at Qi Desheng's name, and he had already made a decision in his heart, but the only thing that was a little difficult now was that it was not easy to contact him, after all, he was always in the barracks, and he and his subordinates only stayed in the line.

"You can't hide like this anymore, since Sun Tudu has sent things, he won't turn his face with me for the time being, but you have to hurry up and act, I can't wait......"
