Song Qingming was sitting in the carriage, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

It seems that last night he heard that Liu Xia hosted a banquet for Liu Hongtao.

Song Qingming certainly didn't think that Liu Xia could make Liu Hongtao switch sides with just one meal.

He thought that there might be something fishy going on here, but it could at least show that Liu Hongtao was shaken.[

This is much more important than Song Wuxiu being the commander-in-chief.

Liu Hongtao is the most critical link in his plan. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

At that moment, Song Qingming urged the carriage to speed up.

When they arrived at the military camp, Song Qingming aggressively broke into the Chinese army's tent. Inside the tent, Liu Hongtao was discussing matters with several generals. When he saw Song Qingming coming in angrily, Liu Hongtao knew why Song Qingming came.

"Everyone, Mr. Song and I still have some matters to discuss. Please step aside first. We will discuss these matters later."

Liu Hongtao smiled lightly.

Immediately, the generals resigned one after another.

After everyone left, Song Qingming sat on one side with a gloomy look.

"Oh, Mr. Song, why are you here at this time? Are you not busy with official duties?"

Liu Hongtao smiled politely.

"Hmph, don't do this. Let me ask you, what happened when Song Wuxiu took over as the commander-in-chief?"

Song Qingming asked with a livid face.

"So it's about this matter, and I plan to go find you. General Song is indeed good. His qualifications, cultivation, and military achievements are all acceptable. But you also know that General Song is a bit younger after all.

I'm worried that he doesn't have enough experience to be the commander-in-chief. I think it's better to let Lao Zhao take over, and let General Song have a few more years of experience. Anyway, he's still young, so he's not in a hurry."

Liu Hongtao smiled lightly.

"Don't talk to me about these high-sounding things. Mr. Liu, it's not a day or two for you and me to be friends. Tell me, what's the reason for us brothers going around in circles before? Isn't it boring?"

Song Qingming said disdainfully.

"Haha, Brother Song, let's see what you said. To be honest, I am indeed in a difficult position regarding General Song's affairs. You know, as the capital commander, I also have my own difficulties. In Wuzhou Province, there are nine prefectures and six prefectures.

There are only fifteen general soldiers. Among them

The imperial court directly appointed six. Of the remaining nine general soldiers, your Song family will occupy four. If General Song takes over as the general general of Yuanping, your Song family will occupy five seats. You said,

Can I have no objections to the remaining aristocratic families?"

Liu Hongtao smiled faintly, sat down and said to Song Qingming.

"Master Liu, this is not your first day in Wuzhou. Wuzhou is no better than those provinces in the south. Within Wuzhou, my Song family is the first generation. The remaining families, all put together, are not as powerful as our Song family.

Half. There are nine general soldiers, and it is reasonable for us to serve as five. Besides, the old Zhao you promoted this time is not from a family background. What's the use of telling me this?" [

Song Qingming said with a sneer.

"Master Song, we are all sensible people. In Wuzhou, I am the commander-in-chief. This army has already placed people from your Song family, so why don't you be the commander-in-chief."

When Liu Hongtao heard this, he stood up and said angrily.

Song Qingming was stunned. The old Zhao promoted this time was Liu Hongtao's confidant. Obviously, he wanted to place another general of his in the Wuzhou army.

If it were somewhere else, forget it, but the plain was an important part of his plan, so naturally he couldn't just forget it.

"Master Liu, why don't we discuss it? You give up the position of Pingyuan General Soldier, and I can go back and coordinate with our family head. Anyway, Song Yuanqiao in Taizhou is old and it's time to take care of himself. I will give it to Lao Zhao.

, let Song Wuxiu take over as the commander-in-chief here. Taizhou is a rich place, and there is always a lot more oil and water than here. What do you think?"

When Song Qingming saw Liu Hongtao getting angry, he hesitated and said.

Taizhou is in the northwest of Wuzhou and is a relatively prosperous place in Wuzhou. Song Qingming gave up this place, which shows how determined he was.

"Master Song is quite sincere. However, since Taizhou is rich, why don't you let Wu Xiu go there to serve as a general? It's much better than here, isn't it? I think there is no need to discuss this matter anymore."

I have already sent out the list of names reported to the imperial court."

Liu Hongtao was obviously not prepared to give Song Qingming this face, so he said immediately.

Song Qingming knew that it was too late to say anything now.

Once the report is sent away and reaches the Ministry of War, it will be released to the public soon. It is still the law that has changed.

"Master Liu, you and I have been working closely together before. If we step back ten thousand steps, we all have to act according to the wishes of the governor. You know in your heart what the relationship between the commander-in-chief here is. If at this time, you want to withdraw

If so, I’m afraid it will be too late.”

Song Qingming said with profound meaning.

"Haha, Mr. Song, I don't understand what you said. As the dignified Dusi, do I 'install' a gullible person of mine as the commander-in-chief? Doesn't it go against the wishes of the Governor? I think you want to

I should take all the credit for myself. In a word, if something is to be accomplished, I must take the credit for it. Why should I always listen to you when we all risk beheading?"

Liu Hongtao immediately said angrily.

"Okay, now that things have happened, you may not listen to anything I say. I just want to tell you one thing. There is no turning back. The path we take is destined to be doomed and narrowly escaped. Don't ruin the Governor's important task.

Okay. Farewell."

Having said this, Song Qingming flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Liu Hongtao looked at his back and gritted his teeth.

At this moment, he took a deep breath and sat down on his handsome chair.

Next, it depends on Song Qingming's actions. If he acquiesces to doing this, it means that he is still very important in this plan.

If Song Qingming had other ideas, he would understand everything.[

At this time, Liu Hongtao felt tired for the first time.

There was also a hint of regret in my heart.

If he had known that this road would be so frightening, he should not have set foot on this pirate ship in the first place.

Perhaps, he was just a commander-in-chief, and he stayed in the position of commander-in-chief until the day he died.

But this is a hundred times, a thousand times better than your official who was born in countless martial arts exams.

"The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant, haha. Hey."

With a wry smile, Liu Hongtao leaned back on the chair tiredly and closed his eyes.

The four of them, Liu Xia, Cai Wei, Yao Wenxin, and Dabao, sat around the mahjong table and had a great time playing.

Anyway, the imperial edict has not arrived, and there is nothing else to do.

Dabao was in good luck today. There were piles of scattered silver in front of the table, and he looked as festive as the Chinese New Year.

"What a fool! What a fool again."

Dabao said excitedly when he reached the mahjong in front of him.

"It's really hard to pick it up with my hands. It took me a long time to pick it up, but this 'slutty' monk let it go."

Caiwei said angrily.

"Tsk, do you think I chant sutras and recite Buddha's name every day in vain? The Buddha's power is limited."

Dabao Sensation put the chips in front of Caiwei next to him and laughed.

"Don't tell me that you pray to the Buddha every day to let you win money? Greed, anger, and ignorance are against the precepts."

Caiwei said angrily.

"What are you thinking about? Is this a poor monk like that? I am an authentic disciple of Buddhism. Although the Buddha has power, he can only bless you with one or two things that your wishes will come true. Things like gambling are not on the table.

, how could I pray to Buddha?”

Dabao said angrily.

"Oh? I'm curious, what do you pray to Buddha for every day?"

Yao Wenxin suddenly asked.

"hey-hey."

Dabao gave a "slutty" smile.

"Sister, look at his "lewd" and "slutty" virtues, he must be praying to the Buddha to give him a beautiful woman."

Caiwei said disdainfully.

"Amitabha, the Lord Buddha who gave birth to me, the one who knows me is picking the weeds. Who doesn't like beautiful women?"

Dabao said hurriedly.

"Look at your potential."

Liu Xia scolded the card maker.

"Tch, don't come here anymore. If I hadn't followed you to this remote mountainous area and suffered so much, I would have saved up enough money to go see the little girls."
