The carriage hurriedly walked on the bluestone street of Shuofang City, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road, only a group of soldiers hurrying along the road. The Liang master in the carriage put down the bamboo curtains on the car window, and he vaguely remembered that in the past, Shuofang City was full of people, and the situation of rubbing shoulders one after another was like two cities compared to what he saw in his eyes now.

"Prime Minister, General Li's Mansion has arrived." The escort who was driving outside came, interrupting Liang Shidu's contemplation.

"Okay." Liang Shidu agreed, then lifted the curtain in front of him, and was about to lean out, but suddenly saw another figure, hurriedly walked out of Li Zhengbao's mansion, and got on another carriage.

Is that...... In an instant, Master Liang sat back again, and a wave of anger suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Prime Minister ......," the guard asked.

"Go back." Liang Shidu said in a deep voice, revealing a bone-chilling coldness, and then there was no more sound.

The carriage turned back again, and along the way, Liang Shi was no longer in the mood to think about the former Shuofang City, and his mind was full of all kinds of rumors that were boiling in Shuofang City, as well as the figure that had just come out of Li Zhengbao's home.

In the Prime Minister's mansion, none of the waiting subordinates dared to go in, only to hear Master Liang smashing things in the house, ping pong, and the frightened people outside did not dare to come out.

A woman in a gorgeous costume walked over gently, and when she arrived at the door, she waved her hand at the people outside, and said, "Let's all go down." ”

The subordinates were immediately pardoned, and after hurrying to salute, they hurriedly left there.

The woman pushed open the door and walked in, and saw a mess everywhere, broken things everywhere, and Liang Shi was standing in the mess, panting roughly.

"What's the matter, what happened to the prime minister?" The woman asked, standing in the doorway with a smile on her face.

Liang Shidu turned his head abruptly and stared directly at the woman. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and spit out three words: "Liang Luoren!" ”

The woman raised her eyebrows, was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Oh?" What happened to General Liang? ”

"I wanted to go to Li Zhengbao today. Haosheng comforted him, but unexpectedly saw Liang Luoren coming out of Li Zhengbao's house. Liang Shidu took a few deep breaths, and then said to the woman: "I suspect that Liang Luoren wants to collude with Li Zhengbao!" ”

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, and said, "Is the prime minister thinking too much?" Even General Liang went in and out of General Li's mansion. That doesn't mean that General Liang must have colluded with General Li to rebel, in case, it was General Liang who went to comfort General Li, after all, the rumors in the city are very serious now, and I think about it, General Liang is also afraid that General Li will be estranged from the prime minister, so he went to visit. ”

"Visiting?" Liang Shidu sneered: "Hmph, instead of the original appearance?" Does he Liang Luoren think he can replace his true appearance? If there is no true appearance, how can there be a prescription? He Liang Luoren thinks he can replace? If it weren't for the fact that he is his cousin, how could he have today's glory?! ”

The woman was about to speak. Suddenly, I heard the voice of a soldier coming from outside, and said inside: "Tell the prime minister, General Liang is here." ”

Liang Shidu glanced at the woman, and as soon as the woman flashed, she hid behind the screen. Liang Shidu took a deep breath, looked at the mess all over the ground, and a trace of coldness emanated from his eyes, and then sat back down, and said in a low voice: "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and Liang Luoren walked in from the outside. Seeing the mess in the room, he was stunned: "Brother, this is ......"

Liang Shidu waved his hand and said lightly, "Say it." What's the matter? ”

"Oh, the younger brother came here to report to his brother, and when he came to Shuofang City, there were rumors about his brother and General Li, and the younger brother was worried that General Li would have a gap with his brother because of this, so he went to General Li's mansion today." Liang Luoren said to Liang Shidu: "General Li seems to be very depressed. Thinking about it, he was also trapped by the rumors in the city, and it seemed a little disheartened. If the elder brother has time, he should ask the elder brother to go to General Li's mansion in person and take the initiative to eliminate the gap with General Li. After all, General Li's popularity in the army is not comparable to that of ordinary people, and my brother must not chill General Li's heart because of a little gossip. With General Li's prestige in the army, if the elder brother chills General Li's heart, it will chill the hearts of Shuofang's soldiers, and he is afraid of mutiny. ”

"Mutiny?" Liang Shidu sneered and said, "I'm afraid that even if General Li doesn't have this intention, others can't say for sure." ”

Liang Luoren was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned slightly cold: "Brother, what do you mean?" ”

"It doesn't mean much, it's just a feeling." Liang Shidu said lightly: "I know what you just said, and I will take the time to go to General Li." If there's nothing else to do, just step aside. ”

Liang Luoren frowned secretly, but didn't say anything, just said goodbye and left in a hurry.

The woman behind the screen walked out again, looked at Liang Shidu, and said, "What, does the prime minister still suspect General Liang?" ”

Liang Shidu didn't answer the woman's question directly, but suddenly laughed and said, "Now, Luo Ren is becoming more and more like the Lord of Shuofang...... If Li Zhengbao is with him again...... Hum! ”

"Well, if the prime minister has to think like this, then there is nothing the concubine can do." The woman covered her mouth and chuckled: "Shuo Fang is still the Shuo Fang of the prime minister after all, and the concubine is just a passerby after all." When I came here today, I just said to the prime minister, Jieli had already agreed, but if there was a change in Fanxia Prefecture, he immediately raised 10,000 troops to help. The prime minister can now rest assured. ”

With that, the woman turned around and left from Liang Shidu.

In Shuozhou City, the uncomfortable atmosphere has not disappeared, but there is a kind of tension that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings. At the beginning, every day I could receive the news that people had escaped from Shuofang and would not return, disturbing the hearts of everyone in Shuofang City.

In a private small mansion, the woman with bright makeup was looking at the handsome man opposite and drinking, put down the wine bottle, and listened to the woman say: "The general doesn't need to worry too much, when Liang Shidu was only in the mansion of General Li, he happened to see the general come out of General Li's house." And the general went to take the initiative to inform him today, now that Shuofang is in turmoil, Liang Shi will not move the general at this juncture. ”

The heroic man smiled and said, "He? Hehe, this brother, where does General Ben still take him in his eyes now. All day long, he doesn't want to make progress, he is greedy for pleasure, and there is still a little bit of the Lord of Shuofang. General Ben is just worried that now that Li Zhengbao has not relented, Ben will not be able to clarify Li Zhengbao's force field, so he does not dare to make any moves for the time being. With Li Zhengbao's prestige in the army, if he can't support the general at that time, then as many as half of the Shuofang soldiers will not respect the general. ”

"In this case, the concubine will help the general and force Li Zhengbao to serve the general." The woman covered her mouth and smiled, and said to Liang Luoren: "In the middle of the night three days later, the general also asked someone to take someone to Li Zhengbao's mansion, and he must protect General Li thoroughly." ”

"Oh?" Liang Luoren was stunned for a moment, and then understood what the woman meant, and said, "You mean, three days later, you are going to send someone to assassinate Li Zhengbao?" ”

The woman giggled and said, "The general said that he was joking, how could the concubine go to assassinate General Li?" Whether it is General Li's prestige or his ability to lead troops in battle, they are extremely useful to Shuo Fang, and the concubine will definitely not kill General Li. However, as for whether the prime minister will be or not, the concubine does not dare to say. ”

Liang Luoren's face was abrupt, and he smiled and raised the wine bottle in his hand at the woman opposite: "I see, thank you girl for your help, Luo Ren will use this wine to express his gratitude." ”

With that, Liang Luoren raised his head and drank the wine in the cup. The woman opposite smiled, but only took a small sip.

said that when Liang Luoren and the nameless woman were plotting to win over Li Zhengbao, Xia Hongsheng, who was also in Shuofang City, received a letter from Li Zhengbao.

The spy who sent the letter stood beside him, and Xia Hongsheng took the letter and looked at it. Li Zhengbao told Xia Hongsheng in the letter that Liang Shidu's cousin Liang Luoren came to him, although he did not say it explicitly, but he hinted that he wanted to replace Liang Shidu in an attempt to win over Li Zhengbao. And Li Zhengbao told Xia Hongsheng in the letter that from Liang Luoren's words, it seems that there is another force supporting Liang Luoren to replace Liang Shidu, but it is not clear whether it will be Turkic.

Xia Hongsheng looked at the letter in his hand meaningfully, and said to himself: "Unexpectedly, Master Liang has now reached the point of betraying his relatives. Moreover, I didn't expect that there was really a third force in Shuofang City. ”

As for whether this third-party force is Turkic, it is unlikely in Xia Hongsheng's opinion. The Turkic support for Shuofang is nothing more than wanting to leave a natural obstacle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and use the Shuo Fang to contain the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, for such a buffer zone, the Turks will vigorously support it and ensure that it can listen to the Turks and fight against the Tang Dynasty. Liang Shidu has always been friendly to the Turks, and they are extremely dependent on the Turks, and from the point of view of ease of control, the Turks can no longer support a person who they cannot and will not be controlled by them, and overthrow a very obedient puppet.

Excluding the Turks, the identity of this third-party power becomes even more elusive.

Apart from the Turks, who would want Shuo Fang to always confront the Tang Dynasty, and to support a new Shuo Fang master, so as to reduce dependence on the Turks?

Xia Hongsheng thought for a while, and suddenly, a name popped up in his mind.

Probably, quite possibly!

Xia Hongsheng clenched his fists and immediately invited the spy next to him to whisper.
