The woman standing in front of Huang Fu Shao, the commander of the Heyang Army, was Tao Yao.

"I just helped you kill Zhu Maocai, and the other commanders are still your own hands." Tao Yaoyao looked at Huang Fu Shao in front of him without any emotion, and her tone revealed her consistent indifference, "When it comes to killing people, General Huang Fu Shao's subordinates are no worse than my people." ”

"One person kills another, this is what was said in advance." Huang Fu Shao sat down and stretched out his hand to signal Tao Yaoyao to sit too, but Tao Yaoyao obviously had no intention of sitting, which made Huang Fu Shao, who had already sat down, only look up at her, "Although Lord Tao and I both trust each other and have no suspicions, only one person killing one can show the sincerity of your and my cooperation." Besides, if I don't have a little strength, I'm afraid Momo-sama won't find a partner under me, right? ”

Tao Yaoyao let out a laugh and hugged her arms, "General Huangfu attacked his own people, which can be described as clean and ruthless, which makes me admire a little woman very much." With such a wrist, it can be described as a hero. ”

Every time he spoke, he had to look up at each other, which made Huang Fu Shao a little unaccustomed and a little disliked, he simply stood up and pretended to choose books in front of the bookshelf, "Why should Lord Tao be tempted?" Although I have ambitions and want to sit in the position of the envoy of the festival, this is also human nature, but in this world, if you want to climb up, you have to step on the bones of others, which is also no way. Waiting for the results of the assassination of Lord Shi tomorrow to come out, you and I will press Luo Daming, I have the authority of the Heyang Army, and I will naturally abide by the agreement with Lord Tao, open the city to welcome the hundred battle army into the city, and serve the Tang Dynasty as the mainstay. ”

"Besides," Huang Fu Shao turned his head to look at Tao Yaoyao, with a serious expression, "I don't think the people I killed are my own people, they are at most my colleagues." ”

"I don't care if you kill your colleague or your comrade." Tao Yao was very happy, and didn't seem to want to continue to talk to Huangfu Shao, "We will help you sit in the position of the envoy of Jiedu, you will move the city to the Tang Dynasty, and all that exists between us is a transaction." As long as the deal can be completed, I am not interested in your character. ”

"Of course, the most important thing is that the deal is completed smoothly." Huangfu Shao smiled.

"But if Li Congjing fails to defeat the 20,000 Liang army with the thousands of people of the Hundred Battle Army as Lord Tao said, then even if he controls the Heyang Army at that time, I am afraid that he will not be able to do anything." Huangfu Shao glanced at Tao Xiaoyao meaningfully, the woman in front of him was overwhelming, undoubtedly the best among women, but Huangfu Shao had never had such a deep relationship with a woman before, which gave him a strange feeling.

"Presumably at that time, Momo-sama wouldn't blame you, right?" Huangfu Shao asked.

Tao Yaoyao sneered, and finally showed a trace of emotion on her face, which was extremely strong confidence, "You might as well wait and see." ”

Huangfu Shao looked at Tao Yaoyao narrowly, "I'm curious, what makes Lord Tao so confident in Li Congjing?" ”

Tao Yaoyao suddenly smiled, very enchanting, she said: "Because everything he wants to do, he has never missed." ”

Huangfu Shao's face changed slightly, and then returned to normal. But in his heart, watching a beautiful woman show such absolute confidence in another man in front of him brought Huang Fushao a trace of experience that had nothing to do with pleasure. He is a proud man and a man with a lot of self-esteem, so he is also very competitive.

His fingers moved slightly.

However, before he could make the next move, the beautiful woman in front of him moved one step ahead of him.

Huangfu Shao's heart suddenly became alarmed, and he took two steps back without hesitation.

It was precisely because of this swift reaction that Huang Fu Shao saw the hands that suddenly hit in front of the fluttering long hair.

The hands are very white, not at all like the hands of martial arts practitioners. There are only two possibilities, either this person doesn't know martial arts at all, or the other party is practicing internal kung fu.

The former is clearly not possible.

Huang Fu Shao made a move.

So the two fought each other.

The fists intersected, and the wind started.

Suddenly, there was a short sound of metal grinding in the air.

When the voice fell, the woman's long hair naturally fell down her back.

Huang Fu Shao's hands stiffened in the air, and his eyes were full of disbelief as he looked at each other. Around his neck, he carried a short knife. There is no need to look, Huang Fu Shao also knows that the blade is very sharp and cold, and he knows that as long as the other party is willing, the blade can easily cut his neck.

A moment ago, she looked like a lazy lady, but at this moment, her whole body erupted with cold and devouring killing intent, and even the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a lot at this moment.

"I forgot to tell you that not only the commander has never missed, but also the MI has never missed." Tao Yaoyao looked at Huang Fu Shao coldly, and did not hide her killing intent, "If you have any more thoughts that you shouldn't have, your head will no longer grow on your neck." ”

The consternation and momentary panic on Huangfu Shao's face had dissipated, replaced by a full wry smile, he spread out his hand to show that he had no malicious intent, and said helplessly: "I just want to try my skills, and now I have tried." Although the results were not as I imagined. ”

Tao Xiaoxiao withdrew the knife, and the murderous aura dissipated, and she raised her feet and walked out, "When the news of Dai Siyuan's defeat came back, it was the time to do something. ”

The door to the study opened and closed.

Huangfu Shao's face was gloomy, he reached out and touched his neck, and there seemed to be a wisp of chill on his skin that had not dissipated.

Not long after Tao Yaoyao left, the housekeeper of the house came to report to Huangfu Shao, "The woman has left." ”

Huang Fu Shao pulled out a book from the shelf, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his face, and he let out a faint "um".

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, but still said, "The general really plans to cooperate with Li Congjing and throw himself into the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Huangfu Shao smiled slightly, and said noncommittally: "Why not?" The Tang Dynasty soldiers are flourishing, and Li Cunmiao is now also known as the emperor, and the whole country is working together to create a great prosperity; On the other hand, in our dynasty, the lord is a traitor, and the army has been defeated again and again, and I am afraid that that day is not far away. Isn't it a wise choice to invest in Datang at this time? ”

"The general is right, but there is nothing wrong with throwing himself into the Tang Dynasty, the question is whether Li Congjing is credible? When the Hundred Battles Army enters Mengzhou, will he be unfavorable to you in order to include the Heyang Army? The housekeeper was worried, "I heard that Li Congjing is not a fuel-efficient lamp, relying on the favor of Emperor Tang, he has always acted perversely." ”

Huangfu Shao closed the book in his hand and smiled inexplicably, "Then let's see, in Mengzhou, which of one acre and three points of land, who of us is playing to death." ”

Leaving Huangfu Shao's house, Tao Yaoyao strolled through the streets of Mengzhou.

Compared with Huaizhou, there is not much difference between the bustle and prosperity of Mengzhou, and even better, although Dai Siyuan led the troops to fight Huaizhou, but there was no war in Mengzhou, so how should the people live, or how to live.

After all, for the vast majority of ordinary people, only when life continues normally, the days of work and food will not be interrupted, and if war breaks out, they may lose their jobs. War belongs to the soldiers, not to the people, who just want to live their own lives, have work to do and eat.

"Commander Tao, someone is following us." The people around Tao Yaoyao said in a low voice.

"Don't look at it, Huangfu Shao's people." Tao Yao didn't reply, "He is not at ease with us, this is reasonable, let them follow, let's go back to the inn." ”

"Yes."

…………………………

Li Youcai, the assassin of Mengzhou, has lived a very comfortable life over the years, comfortable to the situation of opening his mouth and clothes to stretch out his hands, he doesn't need to do too much every day, enjoying flowers and teasing birds, watching dances and listening to music, is more than half of his life. Such a day is undoubtedly the same as the gods, there is no need to work for a living, and there is a certain amount of silver that cannot be spent.

It's a pity that Li Youcai is not an immortal, so he doesn't feel very comfortable with such a day.

Anyone who has spent half of his life and worked hard to climb to the position of Thorn History will not enjoy a comfortable life. In this world, there are people who live to have a bite to eat, some people to live to get ahead, and some people who live to be powerful, but no matter what kind of person you are, you have to fight - if you weren't born with these things.

Li Youcai didn't know why he was alive, such a question was too boring for him, and he didn't know what kind of life he was going to live, but he knew that it was definitely not the day when he was waiting for death. People may not know what they want, but that doesn't prevent them from knowing what they don't want, because what they don't want makes them feel uncomfortable.

However, before the Heyang Jiedu made Zhu Quanzhou control the military and political affairs of Mengzhou, he not only had deep roots in Mengzhou, but also had a close relationship with His Majesty the current Emperor of Daliang, which made Li Youcai, the nominal assassin, unable to get half of the power at all.

Many years ago, Li Youcai also had a backer, but then his backer fell, so as a victim of the power struggle of a higher-level person, he was sent to Mengzhou to eat and wait for death.

Because of this, when Huangfu Shao asked him to investigate the case today, he was actually extremely unhappy in his heart. A little commander dared to shout at him; A small commander, with a few hundred taels of silver, dared to ask him to make a false case.

Li Youcai is very smart, otherwise, when he is backing the mountain, he will fall completely, and he will not be able to make a history of assassination, although it is only a nominal history of assassination, but he is also a member of the imperial court from the third grade. Because of his cleverness, Li Youcai knew that it was impossible for him to compete with Zhu Quanzhou for power, and because of his cleverness, he chose to lie dormant temporarily, even if this dormancy was extremely painful and aggrieved.

Opportunities are always given to those who wait and endure, and now, Li Youcai's opportunity has come.

When Li Youcai returned home from Zhu Maocai's house, it was already dark, and the house was lit with lights, and the brilliant appearance made uninformed people think that the owner of the house was powerful, because only those who were powerful would be very rich, and they could decorate the mansion so luxuriously.

But every time he entered the door, Li Youcai was not in a good mood. The courtyard is too luxurious, luxurious like a golden birdcage, binding Li Youcai's wings. This is the handwriting of Zhu Quanzhou, the envoy of Jiedu, and the purpose is to make him willing to be trapped to death by this golden birdcage.

Li Youcai was angry in his heart, but every time he entered the door, he had to pretend to enjoy it, and then he seemed to be very happy in the mansion. Such days are almost crazy, but he endured them for many years.

"Fortunately, it won't be for long." Li Youcai said silently in his heart.
