In the government office in Guangzhou, Lu Ren and Huang Zhong were sitting opposite each other drinking tea and chatting, and they all had the same very sinister smile on their faces. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Ren first took a sip of the high-quality tea that Huang Zhong brought back from Yunnan, and after hissing in his mouth, Lu Ren slowly put down the teacup and asked with a smile: "Old man Huang, how does it feel to go to Nanban and be a big villain?" ”

Although Huang Zhongzui was tilted downward, the look of joy in his eyes could not be concealed: "Although I am a little unwilling, I also think it is very funny." ”

"Oh? It seems that the old general is quite interested in this matter! Hey, what does that water spirit look like? I don't know if I can get into the eyes of the old general? ”

Huang Zhong stroked his silver beard and said with a smile: "Do you want to talk about this water spirit girl...... The looks are really smart enough. And although this girl is a member of the Southern Barbarian tribe, she is also quite knowledgeable about etiquette, and judging from the fact that she often helps Elle wash clothes and cook food, she will be a virtuous housewife worthy of a broom in the future. Anyway, the old man thinks this water spirit girl is very good, and she is completely worthy of Ai'er. ”

Lu Ren smiled: "If they are a good match, it is naturally a good thing, but we still have to do some evil things to beat the mandarin ducks first." Old Man Huang, let's stop here for jokes, what's the situation on Elle's side? There is also the plan set by Ai'er, please ask the old general to explain it to me in detail. ”

Huang Zhong also put away his laughter and told Lu Ren the original of Deng Ai's idea, Lu Ren frowned after hearing it, and said in a deep voice: "This is too dangerous, right?" One is not properly controlled, but I am afraid that Elle will worry about her life. The only soldiers around him were the four hundred elites, and the rest were just craftsmen. ”

Huang Zhong said: "The old man also persuaded Ai'er, but Ai'er's intentions are very strong, and he should be very sure in his heart." ”

Lu Ren stretched out his hand and grabbed his head and said, "I think he is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!" The strategy he set up is very good, but if you really calculate it, I am afraid that the grain and grass military supplies sent before are not enough for him, but now if you send another batch of the past, it will be easy to startle the grass and snakes, and his method is so difficult that it really makes me a little embarrassed! Old general, you have been to Nanban once, and you know a little bit about the situation there, so what is the best plan in the old general's heart? To be honest, Elle has not yet won the crown, and has never been in such a situation before, and I fear that he will act without some consideration. ”

Huang Zhong said: "The old man and Ai'er agreed that the news exchange between the two places must not be broken, can it be guaranteed to be foolproof?" ”

Lu Ren shook his head and said, "I don't think this alone is enough. The exchange of information between the two places, if the person who is familiar with the road here is selected, and then choose more shortcuts to travel day and night, it may be enough for a few days, but after that, the transfer of the army will take at least half a month. In case of an incident, it will take at least a month for our soldiers to reach Elle, and I am afraid that Elle will not be able to withstand this month. Well...... Come on, go and invite Guo Yi Guo to work! ”

Guo Yi was sent by Lu Renjian to Guo Jia's side before Guo Jia died, so that their father and son could see each other for the last time. Later, after Guo Jia died of illness, Guo Yi was prepared to guard Guo Jia's tomb for three years according to the ancient system, but Guo Jia confessed before he died that he only needed to keep it for three months, and hoped that Guo Yi would continue to follow Lu Ren's side after the guard was completed.

Guo Yi didn't listen to him in this matter, and he had been guarding the tomb in Yingchuan, and later because of the reconciliation between Lu Ren and Sun Quan, Lao Cao considered that he and Lu Ren should maintain a relatively good relationship, so he asked Guo Yi to return to Lu Ren's side in advance. And if you calculate the time, Guo Jia died of illness in the twelfth year of Jian'an, and now at the end of the autumn of the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Guo Yi has been guarding the tomb for two years.

I won't talk about this, just say that it didn't take long for Guo Yi to be called to the mansion, and there was no need to pay back the cumbersome etiquette, Lu Ren directly asked Guo Yi to sit together, and told Deng Ai about the situation in general, and wanted to hear if Guo Yi had any opinions.

Guo Yi is 23 years old this year, and his appearance is very similar to his father Guo Jia. And Lu Ren vaguely felt that Guo Yi was not only similar to Guo Jia in appearance and demeanor, but also inherited Guo Jia's scheming strategy, but Guo Yi's personality was not as flamboyant as Guo Jia, and he had always just hidden behind others and tried not to attract the attention of others.

Looking at Guo Yi after listening to the details of Lu Ren's story, he pondered for a long time before saying: "Master, according to the disciple's opinion, you might as well secretly send someone to rush to Senior Brother Ai, and let Senior Brother Ai do something for others to see, so that the master will have a reason to send another batch of grain and grass over on the bright side without startling the grass and snakes." ”

Lu Ren said: "Oh? So what kind of play should I play for others? ”

Guo Yi said: "This matter is not difficult, first let Senior Brother Ai empty the granary in the middle of the night, and then deliberately make a false impression of a fire when the weather is hot." Then the master sent grain and grass to Senior Brother Ai again, and he could play with Senior Brother Ai again, so that Senior Brother Ai deliberately pretended not to follow General Huang's advice, and insisted on being with the water spirit girl** and angered the master. Senior Brother Ai's play, it's best to have a ...... Catch the rapist in bed! ”

"Huh!?"

Lu Ren and Huang Zhong's eyes widened at the same time, and after a while, Lu Ren punched Guo Yi's chest and scolded with a smile: "You kid, who is this calculating?" Are you calculating our opponents, or are you calculating your junior brothers? ”

Guo Yi smiled and responded: "Master Mingjian, according to people's common sense, if the master has not noticed Senior Brother Ai's 'disobedience', how can he break up because of anger later?" Since it is a play, it must be like, and it will not be suspicious if it is circulated. In addition, this move can also send a large amount of food and grass to Senior Brother Ai, just in case, Senior Brother Ai can also greatly increase his chances of victory. ”

Lu Ren nodded and said, "Well, Yi'er is right, then the teacher will immediately send his confidants to Ai'er." As for the people who escorted the second batch of grain and grass......"

Lu Ren and Guo Yi's eyes drifted to Huang Zhong together, Huang Zhong understood in his heart when he saw this, and said with a dumb smile: "Don't look at me like this, the lord doesn't want to look at me like this, I will be this big villain again." ”

Lu Ren smiled yinyin: "Then the only way to ask the old general to work hard again!" Oh, the old general also remember that this matter of catching the rape in bed, the old general must wait for Ai'er to do something before arresting it, hehehe! ”

――――――――――――――――――――

A few days later, there was chaos in the village of Deng Ai, and many of the remaining sergeants were busy extinguishing the fire in the granary. Under the flames, many people from the Meng Huo clan rushed to help extinguish the fire. Until the fire was extinguished, Deng Ai sat on the ground in a dejected manner, and Meng Huo and his wife stepped forward to persuade softly.

The Golden Ring Third Festival, which was closest to the Meng Huo clan and led the clan to merge into the Meng Huo clan earlier, also stepped forward to comfort him. After persuasion, Deng Ai waved his hand and said, "You have to worry about it, I actually have no big problem here." Now that the grain in my village has been destroyed, I have to transfer some of the grain and rice that I had borrowed from the Meng patriarch to meet the emergency, and I will repair the letter and send someone to Guangzhou as soon as possible, and ask the master to transfer another batch of grain and grass to me...... Patriarch Meng, Mrs. Zhurong, there is no problem, right? ”

Meng Shu hurriedly said: "No problem, no problem, you can send someone to my village to get it later." ”

Zhu Rong frowned heavily and asked, "Brother Deng, if there is no accident with your food here, our four clans ......"

Deng Ai said: "It's okay, I already understand what Mrs. Zhurong said." I just told the master in the letter that my cottage was suddenly hit by a disaster, and even most of the grain fields were destroyed, and I was no longer able to cultivate my own food this year, so I asked the master to send more grain and grass here. ”

Zhu Rong put his mind at ease and arched his hand to Deng Ai: "That's really embarrassing for Brother Deng." I'll go back to the village first to make some preparations, and later Brother Deng will send someone to carry some grain and rice back to the village. In addition, Zhu Rong persuaded him that the hot weather in Nanzhong is prone to fire, and the granary in Deng Xiaoge's village can no longer be built in the bright place. ”

Deng Ai replied: "Thank you Mrs. Zhurong for your kind words, Deng Ai will immediately renovate the urn cangdong." ”

Zhu Rong nodded, and was about to go back to the village with Meng Shu and them to make some preparations, looking at Deng Ai's depressed expression, after thinking about it, he called Shui Ling over, and instructed Shui Ling to accompany Deng Ai to scatter his mind before getting on the horse and chasing Meng Huo.

Seeing that Deng Ai was still sitting on the ground in a gloomy manner, Shui Ling stepped forward and persuaded: "Shizai, you don't have to be sad anymore when the matter has come to this, don't you Han people often say that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck?" It's not like you can't cope with things now. Okay, seeing that your whole body is messy now, go to the river first, and I'll wash it for you. ”

Deng Ai glanced at Shui Ling, a smile appeared on his face, and after getting up and calling his henchmen and colonel in a low voice, he went to the bamboo building with Shui Ling to take out clean clothes and go to the stream to bathe.

Removing the dirty clothes on his body and throwing them aside, Deng Ai sat in the water, and Shui Ling took a towel to help Deng Ai scrub the dirty parts on his back. Shui Ling saw that Deng Ai was silent for a long time, thinking that Deng Ai was still unhappy about the burning of the granary, and just opened his mouth to persuade a few words, Deng Ai suddenly said softly: "Shui Ling, you look for an opportunity to tell your sister and brother-in-law secretly." In fact, my granary is empty, and the grain and grass in my village have not been burned. ”

Shui Ling's hand suddenly stopped, and he asked in surprise: "Then ...... are you?"

Deng Ai hesitated for a long time in his heart, gritted his teeth and said to Shui Ling: "I'm just doing this to find an excuse, so that the master can send another batch of grain and grass here." Didn't you tell me last time? There are more people who will join your clan alliance than expected, which is a good thing, but I am afraid that the food and grass I prepared before will not be enough, so I have to make this decision. You also know that I lent you the grain and grass sent by General Huang Lao before, so that you could have the capital to unite other clans, and I was doing it without telling my master. Master he ...... I have not been allowed to intervene in the disputes between the various ethnic groups in South and China, but now I ......"

Shui Ling silently helped Deng Ai scrub for a long time, and said softly: "Do you know that you are disobeying the master's orders now?" What exactly are you doing this for? Is it for my clan, or is it ...... For me? (To be continued.) )
