"How can you not know?" Ma Lincheng said: "That fire is not small, I have seen it in the camp. ”

Yu Yaoting's tone was slightly blamed: "Since you saw the fire, why didn't you send troops into the city?"

Ma Lincheng smiled: "Brother, you are funny with your brother again, saying that my brain was opened and eaten as tofu? Those people in the rivers and lakes are all brave and abnormal, and they are fighting with each other, to be honest, Lao Tzu doesn't even dare to look at the excitement, our prestige can only be used against the people, but these people can't move." ”

Yu Yaoting said with a smile: "You are still the chief military officer, if you let others hear this, don't you have to laugh off your big teeth?"

Ma Lincheng snorted: "What if all the teeth are laughed off, those people are strong in martial arts, and they may be able to win with more people in the army of ten thousand horses, but if they want to sneak by the bed at night to pick up our heads, it is also easy to pick up things." Don't you also have a hot fight with that Qin Langchuan on weekdays? I'm afraid that the friendship is deeper than that with your brother!"

Chang Sihao listened to it on the ceiling, thinking that in his hometown, every time he met the official master on patrol, everyone was scared to death, and he knelt on the side of the street, but he didn't expect that the people on the rivers and lakes could actually make the government afraid of three points, which was really amazing. I thought again: "His grandmother's, am I a person in the rivers and lakes now?" haha, if walking in front of the official master, it can make him tremble in his heart, it will be fun." ”

Yu Yaoting's tone turned cold, and he snorted: "Forgive him for being a mustard grass people, how can he make friends with me, the governor of the hall, I am just a false and wrongful snake, what the virtuous brother said is right, these people really can't be offended, but they are also afraid of us, and they are really going to turn over, and it is not good for anyone, so they laugh when they meet, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and it is best to be safe." ”

There was silence in the room for a while, only to hear Ma Lincheng say: "What is your intention when you suddenly mention the Qin family?"

Yu Yaoting said: "Yesterday, the Qin family and horses went out of the city in batches, and the commercial street seemed to be cleared, and at night the people of another force entered the city, and the arrogance was even more arrogant to the extreme, and the soldiers guarding the city gate were all cats, scared one by one like gray grandsons, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and the dignity of the court was not at all. This time, they made too much noise, and more than 1,000 people were fighting, and it was not much different from attacking the city and plundering the land, and the two countries were fighting each other, and it was a big case that shook the whole country when it was spread! If I pretend not to know about this matter, can I still hold this face? The Qin family intends to calm down and cover up this matter, and has already sent people to deal with it, but I can't see it, do you know what the reason is?"

Ma Lincheng said: "Hehe, if I don't have the invasion, just knock a bamboo pole, since there is such a thing, it is better to use them as cannon fodder." ”

Yu Yaoting said: "Exactly. According to my expectations, Qin Langchuan's subordinates will never be less than seven or eight thousand people, and it is impossible for them to pour out of the nest, but if they want to divide one or two thousand people, it is estimated that there is no problem. If those men can get two thousand people, which is enough for ten thousand, and then they can stop Meda, and they will help, and you will have military merit, wouldn't it be good?"

There was no sound in the room. After this quiet, Chang Sihao squatted in the dark, breathing in the dusty air, but felt itchy in his nose and a little difficult.

After a long while, Ma Lin Chengcai said: "Those people in the rivers and lakes are very tricky, I'm afraid it will not be easy to comply." ”

Yu Yaoting said: "His Qin family has a lot of industries in Taiyuan, and the trading shops are all over the Jinjing, and the smuggling and trafficking ban has not been done on weekdays, if I don't turn a blind eye, how can they have today, this time the trouble is not small, and they don't have the bottom in their hearts. In addition, if you look at these people one by one, they are like horse thieves who have been stripped of their skins and landed on the shore, but in fact, many people attach great importance to the rise and fall of the country and the righteousness of the nation. ”

Ma Lincheng laughed: "Okay, okay! Then I'll do what Brother Yu said, if the Qin family talks about it, my brother will bother more." Yu Yaoting said with a smile: "It is natural to contribute to the country." Ma Lin said: "I have been bothering for a long time today, and that brother has left first." Yu Yaoting said with a smile: "Are you afraid that your brother and sister will scold you? It's still early, why do you need to be so anxious? You and I haven't been together for a long time, we should have a good time today." "Snapping high-fives, there was a light footstep outside the house, squeaking the door, and the footsteps entered the house. Ma Lincheng's voice immediately became numb: "Ah, Brother Yu, where did you find such a stunning color?"

Yu Yaoting said: "These twin sisters are twenty-eight years old, they sent someone to buy them from the slave market, they are still virgins, and today they invite their virtuous brother to come to the house, one is to discuss major matters, and the other is to invite their brother to try it." Ma Lincheng smiled: "If the big thing doesn't work, I'm afraid I won't be able to taste it." Yu Yaoting said with a smile: "Brother Xian is happy with his brother, when did someone be so stingy?" Hearing only the trembling voice, Ma Lincheng seemed to have held one of the girls in his arms, and said with a lewd smile: "Brother Yu, you still know your brother's thoughts, let's play it happily tonight, how about a gambling game with two bees and Dilian?"

Yu Yaoting said: "Gambling again, my brother is old, how can I compare to your brave brother? I'm afraid I will lose money and lose face." Ma Lincheng laughed: "Brother Yu Teqian!" There was a sound of waves in the room, and Chang Sihao's eyes suddenly appeared in front of the two fat men salivating at the corners of their mouths, hugging the girl like a flower up and down their hands.

Qi Beishan stabbed him, the two of them carefully retreated to the entrance of the cave, came up, Qi Beishan closed the rafters, covered it with soil, shook the cloth and put it into the waist bag, and then pressed the tiles in turn according to the original position, and finally swept the surrounding traces with a brush, everything returned to the same state, and the two returned to Qinfu.

Qin Langchuan and Chen Shengyi were playing chess in the Tayun Pavilion and waiting for news, Qin Juexiang stood in red clothes to face the wind, and Gu Weixin and Mo Ruzhi also came back and waited beside them. After listening to the report, Qin Langchuan was silent, handed over a note in his hand, Qi Beishan took it, and saw that it was written: I will raise 100,000 troops to the east, and it is expected to reach Datong in September. The payment is An Ziteng. Qi Beishan knew that this was the flying pigeon biography of the helmsman of Datong, and it seemed that the enemy situation was true, and said: "Governor Yu's plan is very poisonous, the enemy army is strong, we will send people out to send them to death, but if you don't obey, I'm afraid there will be big trouble." ”

"What about the governor?" Qin Juexiang choked in his heart, raised his voice and said: "Look at the way he looks on weekdays! He dares to come to the mercy of the Qin family! If I hadn't woken up late from a big sleep and went with you, I would have jumped off the roof and killed them at that time!"

Qin Langchuan rolled in a deep voice in his throat and glared at him: "If you do things like this, then the Qin family doesn't have to be confused." ”

Chen Sheng said: "I don't know where I have gone, old lady, it is better for me to take some people to Datong to take a look, it is not far from the Hengshan faction, Liangyin and Qingyin are too skilled, and the virtue is high, and they will be able to help each other when they hear the news. ”

Gu Weixin said: "Datong is an important border town, all these years are on the cusp, the rudder also has problems in operation, there is very little entry, it is better to let the helm master and them withdraw to the south, the second manager can go out to bluff, if you really want to defend the city defense, wouldn't it make Governor Yu proud? ”

Qin Jue said: "Uncle Gu is right, this is not a thing for the governor, he holds our silver in his left hand, and plays with us with his right hand, what does the Qin family think of? What kind of national righteousness and the rise and fall of the country, he court officials don't care about it, why should we bother to come out of that head? The common people will naturally run away when they see the Tartars coming, and the officers and soldiers love to fight or not, so they don't care about it!"

Chen Shengyi frowned and said: "The great rivers and mountains, how can they easily fall into the hands of barbarians, the Datong line is the outer barrier, the barrier here is broken, the army will go straight to the Beijing Division, the world will be in chaos, and the country will not be a country." The Tartar cavalry was erratic and impatient, and as long as they withstood the attack and fought a war of attrition, they would not be able to hold out for long. Besides, we are the teachers of benevolence and righteousness to save the people and help the country, and the governor's little villain's heart is unbearable. ”

Chang Sihao stood quietly and listened to their back and forth arguing, his eyes did not leave Qin Langchuan, and he saw that the corner of his white beard was slightly slanted, as if he had been sneering faintly, and secretly thought: "Who is he sneering at? Is it against Brother Chen? It seems that most of him doesn't want to contribute." ”

The two sides argued for a long time, and there was no conclusion, Qin Langchuan waved his hand and said, "Xiaohao, what is your opinion?"

Chang Sihao smiled: "How can I understand military and political affairs? ”

Qin Langchuan glanced at his eyes, heyed, seemed to have a heart, and waved his hand: "Don't fight, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Chang Sihao sneered in his heart, returned the night clothes to Chen Shengyi, and since returning to Yunchun Pavilion to rest, the next day he got up and freshened up, Ah Xiang hurriedly came in and said: "Brother Hao, the governor Yu personally visited, and the old lady called all the people in the mansion to come out to greet him quickly." ”
