Chapter 52: The Phantom of the Camp

Qiu Zhitao returned to Xiangwang's Mansion with a fish basket, and saw that the craftsmen were busy, he knew that King Chuang wanted to establish a foundation in Xiangyang, but he disliked that Xiangwang's Mansion was not big enough, so he wanted to expand, this thing was still his masterpiece, how could he not know?

"Thief, thief, when you know what is glory and wealth, what is lustful dogs and horses, and what is to take and take, when the time comes, you will be softened by wealth. You can still have a bit of combat power. The killing intent in Qiu Zhitao's eyes flashed, and then disappeared, turning into a warm smile again. He changed his clothes and walked towards the main hall of King Xiang's mansion. He saw Zhang Nai from a distance, and immediately stepped forward a few steps and said, "General Zhang, King Chuang is free, so he said that Qiu Zhitao, the squire of the military department, asked to see him." ”

"Good. You wait. As soon as Zhang Nai waved his hand, a guard went inside to report. But a moment later, an order came from inside, ordering Qiu Zhitao to enter.

After Qiu Zhitao entered, he found that Li Zicheng was discussing with Niu Jinxing, Li Xin, Gu Junen, Song Xiance and others.

He just swept his eyes slightly, knelt on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed on the ground, and said, "Long live King Chuang, long live, long live." He got up and walked a few steps, then knelt down and shouted: "Long live King Chuang, long live, long live." "Get up and kowtow again, a total of three kneels and nine knocks.

"Shameless." Li Xin couldn't look at Qiu Zhitao at all, and felt that this person was really a complete villain.

You must know that this is the end of the Ming Dynasty, not the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty only knelt three times and bowed nine times to the emperor, and the Ming Dynasty did not do this to the emperor. And it is now the time to start a business, and the etiquette is very negligent. When the generals saw that King Chuang didn't kneel down at all, Wenchen was just making a gesture, and he knelt three times and knocked nine times to show anyone.

Moreover, King Chuang killed his grandfather with his front foot, and he surrendered with his back foot, and he flattered him to such an extent, he was really shameless and invincible in the world.

That's it, he actually suggested breaking into the king to expand the palace, and the beauty pageant was left and right. It made Li Xin feel that he was a full minister.

"I don't know how my grandfather feels when he knows about it." Li Xin said with sarcasm in his tone.

Qiu Zhitao's head had not yet been raised, his pupils shrank slightly, almost angry, but when he raised his head, he returned to his original state, and said with a smile: "It's just that each is its master, my father and ancestors have always taught me where the loyalty and filial piety festival is, and loyalty is still above filial piety, and I want to move filial piety to be loyal." My grandfather's father was an official of the puppet Ming court, and he served the puppet Ming until his death, but I did not have the fame of the puppet Ming, and I saw that the king of Chuang was eloquent and strategic, and his bearing was extraordinary, but he was the true dragon son of heaven, and naturally obeyed the mandate of heaven and was loyal to the king. ”

"Shameless

Especially. Li Xin sneered, and wanted to refute his shameless remarks.

But Li Zicheng spoke and said, "Okay, okay." Qiu Shilang, what is the matter with you coming to me? ”

Qiu Zhitao is just an idle job, although Li Zicheng thinks Qiu Zhitao's sycophants are good. But in his heart, he also despised Qiu Zhitao's person. However, the so-called villain is as sweet as honey, even if Li Zicheng looks down on him, but I have to admit that Qiu Zhitao is not cheeky to this extent, and Li Zicheng is secretly happy in his heart.

After all, Qiu Zhitao is no one else. It's the second son of a scholar.

But even so, Li Zicheng did not send Qiu Zhitao on any serious errands. It's just a matter of writing a letter to persuade the old man to surrender and inquire about the news from the government.

"The subordinate got a confidential letter, and he didn't dare to delay, so he could only report it quickly." Qiu Zhitao said.

"What secret?" Li Zicheng said.

Qiu Zhitao immediately presented a letter with his own hands, Li Zicheng opened it and saw that one eye narrowed, and the cold light in his eyes seemed to be brewing something, and he didn't say anything, but passed the letter on.

Li Xin looked at the results and said, "I received the secret letter from the general before, and I knew that I was in the middle of the clouds, and when I was fighting, I saw the artillery sprouts upward, and I did not hurt our soldiers, which shows sincerity." On one side, there is a title, the worship should be on the eve of the day, please make another appointment, the left army will come to the west, the inside and the outside should be combined, and the thieves will be broken. ----”

"Discord Meter." Li Xin didn't wait to read it, and said loudly: "This letter, the officials and soldiers are just a piece of paper. But it shook the morale of the army. Do not be fooled. ”

Li Zicheng looked at the strategists, everyone was groaning, only Qiu Zhitao looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and asked, "Qiu Shilang, this letter was brought by you." Tell me about it. ”

"Just as Li Junshi said." Qiu Zhitao didn't seem to care at all about Li Xingang's vicious words, and said: "This piece of paper is not enough to be believed, this kind of official style can be written by lower officials." However, there are many things to be aware of. ”

Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Did Cao Ying's horse check clearly last time?" ”

"Check it out." Gu Junen said: "There are a batch of horses with the word 'left' on the back buttocks, and later, in order to cover up, the words 'front', 'back', 'middle' and 'right' were branded on the buttocks of other horses. ”

This matter was Chen Shaoxian's doing, because Liu Zongmin and Luo Yulong were fighting for horses, Luo Rucai ordered to brand all the horses, Chen Shaoxian took this matter, and in this matter, he made a move. The news that Gu Junen got was processed.

Li Zicheng pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "This must be a plan to divide the officials and the army, I know Brother Luo very well, even if he was beaten by Yang Sichang to only a few thousand people, in the face of the surrender of the officials and soldiers, he also said; 'A thief does not kill a thief. How can we take refuge in the current good situation

Officers and soldiers. ”

"With all due respect." Qiu Zhitao said: "The good situation of King Chuang is not necessarily the good situation of Cao Ying. And King Chuang's founding of the country is right in front of him, I don't know how to arrange Luo Rucai, is it for him to continue to serve as the general of Dewei on behalf of the heavens? ”

Li Zicheng shouted angrily: "Is there a part for you to speak here? Get out. ”

"Yes." Qiu Zhitao immediately looked like he was trembling with fright, and ran out with a roll.

After going out, Qiu Zhitao came to a place where no one was around, and sneered twice, he knew that he had caught Li Zicheng's sore spot.

With the arrival of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, the number of foreign rebels increased. They were also worried that Li Zicheng's strength was too strong and annexed them, so they pushed Luo Rucai, who had a good relationship with everyone, as the general of Weide on behalf of the heavens. Luo Rucai was originally in an almost equal relationship with Li Zicheng, and Luo Rucai didn't expect to live long, he couldn't be the emperor before he died, and he didn't have other addictions, so he agreed.

Li Zicheng didn't pay attention to it before, but Li Zicheng is now preparing to form a court in Xiangyang, and at this time he found that in the system of the imperial court, big soldiers like Luo Rucai and He Yilong could not be placed at all. At this time, Li Zicheng's dissatisfaction with Luo Rucai became more and more serious.

And Qiu Zhitao got a glimpse of this, so he launched one plan after another.

But no matter how much he plans, if Li Ziyuan himself does not have this mind, it is also delusional.

"Li Xin." Qiu Zhitao remembered what Li Xin said, and he couldn't wait to grit his steel teeth. But he knew that the mask of the shameless villain must continue to be worn, and he had to wear it well, otherwise, it would be easy to be suspected of acting in the camp, and a shameless person, a shameless person who didn't even care about his grandfather's death, not many people could afford it, and not many people cared.

Shameless, is his best camouflage color.

Qiu Zhitao remembered the contradiction between Li Xin and Niu Jinxing again, and immediately thought about it.

At this moment, in the lobby, Li Zicheng suddenly asked Gu Junen: "Is Cao Ying connected with the Left Army?" What did that guy say? Li Zicheng asked Qiu Zhitao to go out, just because he wanted to ask that person, but this secret was not something that Qiu Zhitao could know about when he had just joined the gang.

"He said no." Gu Junen said.

"So." Li Xin said: "There must be villains to do it, why don't King Chuang invite General Luo, and explain everything clearly at the banquet." Isn't that just right? ”

Li Zicheng pondered for a while and said, "Okay, the military advisor will help me make a post to invite Luo Rucai, and don't say anything else, just say that I want to have a drink with him." ”

Li Xin agreed and said, "Yes." ”

Someone was immediately dispatched to arrange it.
