The battle of Baijingzhai was tragic and bloody, and the more than 980 people of the tripartite coalition army who came to attack were almost wiped out, and the palace guards also paid more than 80 casualties, which was obviously a great victory, but unfortunately the fly in the ointment was to let Zheng Mingrui, the monk and Lu Dingsheng three leaders escape from the sky, the first two of which were forcibly highlighted by their extraordinary martial arts, as for Lu Dingsheng, it was long before the palace guards launched a general attack on the mansion on the high slope, they had torn the knotted rope and fled from the steep back cliff.

The results are undoubtedly brilliant, but Hongqing is not very satisfied, not because of the escape of Zheng Mingrui and others - after this battle, although the dark forces under the hands of the fourth master and the eighth master will not be completely destroyed, but the main elite has been basically lost, if you want to cultivate it again, it is not something that can be done overnight, at least within ten years, it is categorically impossible for the two to restore their old appearance, and this, for Hongqing, is enough, in fact, there is only one thing that Hongqing really regrets, That is to fail to take the opportunity to get rid of Nian Qianyao, the confidant of the fourth master, of course, on the whole, this battle has basically achieved the intended goal, although there are some regrets, but it is also flawed.

Although the war is over, it does not mean that the matter is over, on the contrary, I am afraid that troubles will follow, the reason is very simple, the fourth master and the eighth master are not good birds who swallow their anger, and how can they eat such a big loss in vain, and do not toss out some incidents, that is a strange thing, this one, Hongqing has a lot of money in his heart, and he does not dare to be careless, as soon as the war is over, he hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield, and immediately led his troops to rush to the Beijing Division, not only that, but also sent a note first, at the same time, I didn't forget to send a letter to the third master, and described the incident selectively, but everything that involved the "sharp knife" was all brushed over with the Spring and Autumn penmanship, as for the war itself, there was nothing to hide, of course, Hongqing didn't expect the third master to have the ability to turn the tide, and the reason why he was in a hurry to write the letter was just to let the third master have a preparation in advance, not for anything else, just because Hongqing knew very well that his party was afraid that he would not be able to rush to Beijing before Zheng Mingrui and others.

"What? What did you say? So many horses are gone? How is this possible! ”

Sure enough, as Hongqing expected, when he was still in a hurry on the road, Zheng Mingrui had already rushed back to Beijing, and he didn't care that it was too late, so he rushed to the Eighth Master's Mansion and reported the news of the defeat, but before he finished speaking, the Eighth Master jumped up angrily, grabbed Zheng Mingrui's chest, and scolded loudly.

"The prince is angry, the prince is angry, his subordinates are not lying, they are indeed defeated, if it is not for the subordinates to see the opportunity quickly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape this catastrophe, it is not that the subordinates are not able to fight, it is really that the gang is extremely treacherous, and he actually used a large number of firearms, secretly set up an ambush, and the subordinates are unprepared, this is ......"

Seeing that the eighth master was so angry, Zheng Mingrui's already panicked heart couldn't help but panic a little more, and his body trembled terribly, but he didn't dare to hide anything, and hurriedly reported the events of last night's battle in detail.

"Waste, waste, what is the use of this king!"

The eighth master has always shown a gentle face on weekdays, but at this time he is angry and bullfighting, and his face is extremely hideous and scolding, that appearance is really comparable to the shrew's play, this is not surprising, the main force of this attack is all his eighth master's people, and they are all elite, in order to win over such a team, the eighth master's investment before and after really doesn't know how to go, just like this, the battle is all over, how can the eighth master not feel distressed.

"The prince is angry, the prince is angry, his subordinates should die, his subordinates should die."

In the face of the anger of the eighth master, Zheng Mingrui only had to kowtow and ask for mercy, not that he didn't want to defend himself, but he really didn't have the face to justify, nearly a thousand heroes attacked three hundred people at night, not only failed to succeed, but he ended up with the whole army killed, as a leader, Zheng Mingrui has the face to defend.

"That's it, let's go and rest first, this king will have his own arrangements, go."

The eighth master is not an ordinary person in the end, even when he is angry, he just vented and calmed down, and he didn't bother to ask about the details of the battle, but waved his hand tiredly, and commanded happily.

"Wow!"

Zheng Mingrui was ready to be severely punished by the eighth master, but he didn't expect the eighth master to let himself go so easily, even if his mind was relaxed, how dare he talk more, he kowtowed busily, and withdrew from the study, but he never found that there was a flash of murder in the eyes of the eighth master looking at his back.

"Sir, you see what you need ......"

The eighth master's leniency and calmness are just an illusion, in fact, at such a juncture that may endanger his own life, how can the eighth master be very lenient at all, no, Zheng Mingrui has just left, and the murderous intent in the eyes of the eighth master has suddenly burst out, but he is not in a hurry to make a decision, but looks at Lu Chunyan who was sitting on the side with a solemn face, and cautiously asks for half of the words.

"No need."

Although the eighth master asked extremely vaguely, Lu Chunyan knew what the eighth master was going to ask as soon as he heard it, and it was just a matter of killing people and destroying his mouth, which was not very unusual, but Lu Chunyan obviously had a different opinion on this.

"Huh?"

The eighth master had already made a decision in his heart, and the previous question was just a kind of respect for Lu Chunyan, but he didn't expect Lu Chunyan to have different opinions, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Wang Ye Mingjian, this is just useless, if that little boy insists on making a big deal, no matter how much he covers it up, I'm afraid it won't help, why do you need to do this more, and, in Lu's opinion, that guy will definitely not do this, the reason, hey, it's nothing more than a scruple about the face of the heavenly family, if you really want to make things known all over the world, you don't necessarily have the ability to help the prince and the fourth master, but it will make Your Majesty disgusted, so if Lu Mou's expectations are not bad, there will be no one alive in this battle!"

Lu Chunyan stroked the long beard on his chest with an indifferent expression, and unhurriedly broke the crux of the matter, but he didn't say it completely - the old man has more than three, four, and eight elder brothers under his knees, but more than twenty sons, if things really get out of control, the old man is angry, and it is not necessarily a big deal to depose all of them, it is a big deal to choose virtuous people from other elder brothers as successors.

"This embryo killing! That's it, according to Mr., how should this matter be resolved? ”

Zheng Mingrui fled quickly, he didn't know the final situation on the battlefield, and when he reported it before, he never mentioned whether there were any prisoners in this battle, and it was because of this that the eighth master was worried that Hongqing would use the captives to make a big fuss, but at this time, when he heard Lu Chunyan's analysis, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but be shocked by Hongqing's ruthlessness.

"If you get cheap, and you want to sell well, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world, there are three strategies, and you can teach that guy to live in peace!"

This attack on Hongqing's plan was facilitated by Lu Chunyan's efforts, but the result was that the whole army was wiped out, even if the eighth master did not blame, Lu Chunyan was really difficult to extricate himself, and he refused to let Hongqing calculate in vain, so he clenched his teeth and released a cruel word.

"Oh? Please give me advice! ”

The eighth master is not a master who is willing to suffer, this time I heard that Lu Chunyan had a way to deal with Hongqing, so he came to the spirit, and hurriedly bowed to Lu Chunyan, and asked with great interest.

"Lord Mingjian, the reason why that guy didn't delve into the root of this battle was not because he really had a merciful heart, but just to protect himself, according to Lu, one of them put all the sins on the White Lotus Sect, and this one is fine, but in this way, an obvious flaw has been undoubtedly revealed - where did those firearms come from? This is where the fuss can be made. ”

Lu Chunyan did not rush to say what the three strategies were, but first analyzed the situation for the eighth master and clearly pointed out what could be used.

"Mr. means ......"

As soon as he heard Lu Chunyan's words, the eighth master's eyes immediately lit up, and he faintly thought of some key points, but he didn't dare to be too sure, so he tentatively asked half of the words.

"Hey, the private transfer of ordnance is a capital offense, even if he is a supervisor, I am afraid that he can't act indiscriminately, this article alone, you can refer to one of them, even if he can get away with it, the right to oversee the manufacture of ordnance must be difficult to protect, this is one of them; Secondly, after this war, the prestige of firearms should be more prosperous, if the fourteenth master is again on the promotion of the bank, the saint is afraid that it is not good to stop it again, if so, the situation of the third master's dominance will be shaken, as for the third, the prince may wish to make a deal with the fourth master, take down the central bank, let Hongli return to the Ministry of Industry, in charge of ordnance manufacturing, in order to carry out the way of checks and balances, want to come to the saint is not inaccurate, with these three strategies, when the house can eat the bitter fruit! ”

Lu Chunyan didn't sell any more, but when he saw a confident smile, he had already detailed the roots of the three strategies one by one.

"Well, with these three strategies, I don't have to worry about big things, but it's just the fourth ......"

The eighth master frowned and thought about it, and in his heart he had already determined the feasibility of the three strategies, but he didn't dare to make an assertion about whether the fourth master would fully cooperate, no side, this night attack was proposed by his eighth master, and as a result, the fourth master also suffered heavy losses, and this time he had to discuss with the fourth master, and the confidence of the eighth master was inevitably a little insufficient.

"The prince just rest assured, the fourth master is a shrewd person, and he will know how to choose."

Lu Chunyan knew what the eighth master was worried about, but he didn't care at all, and gave the answer affirmatively.

"Okay, that's it!"

Lu Chunyan had already said it so clearly, the eighth master no longer had any doubts, gritted his teeth, and made a final decision......
