Liu Ruhai stood aside, smiling with his hands behind his hands. He expected that even if Xu Guogong was loyal, His Majesty would not let him command the army.
Xu Guogong is a famous general.
As for the conversation between Song Chengming and Cao Xiwan, Liu Ruhai didn't take it seriously. Who knows if it's true or false? Just like what Liu Ruhai said just now, Song Chengming and she didn't dare to believe it.
Suddenly, he turned his ears and seemed to hear footsteps deep in the tunnel.
Who is coming?
He looked at Cao Xiwan, who had she invited to come here to meet Song Chengming in the inner cell?
The flames in the fire barrel were mysterious, and the hairs on Xiao Zheng's back stood up inexplicably. He felt that the conversations between Mr. Niu, Mrs. Qing, and the Marquis of Song in the inner cell were too weird. He did not dare to guess, and he still counted on Mrs. Qing's antidote.
He quickly opened the cell door and slipped away with a smile: "I'll wait outside, please don't keep your majesty waiting too long."
Song Chengming lowered his head and walked out of the cell door. He was extremely calm. Xiao Zheng actually called Liu Ruhai "Owner", and he knew that he was pretending to be someone else.
Liu Ruhai is dressed in black and purple robes, so he is not blind.
She sighed naggingly: "It's okay, I have already thought about it. If the worst happens in the future, I will live with my relatives. If I am exiled to the north, the old lady still has some flooded shabby shops in Yanjing City that have not been sold.
The fields we are going out to. By the way, there are dozens of acres of cemeteries that are also part of the old lady’s dowry. They are connected to the land owned by the old marquis. We can build a house in the cemetery and live in it. I can do it.”
She said, reminiscing with joy, "I quite like cemeteries."
Liu Ruhai saw her nagging, but he felt even more alert in his heart.
An old lady like her has spent half her life killing rebels and made great contributions to the Li Dynasty. She will never be captured without mercy.
Song Chengming nodded slightly: "In that case, if something happens, I will request an order to guard the city, and wrap up my body outside the city gate to show my loyalty."
"Okay." She nodded, "I will take one of you, Your Majesty or the East Palace. If you can't take one away, I will kill King Zhao or the Crown Prince of Zhao." She had evil eyes and a sinister look, "I'm not feeling well.
, no one else can even think about living comfortably!"
Liu Ruhai remained silent and did not make a sound, but the smile in his eyes disappeared.
She may not be telling the truth.
It was possible that she was using a trick. The current situation was probably far from enough to warrant saying such a thing. But she did.
When Song Chengming heard her words, a smile finally came into his eyes. Just as he was saying: "Your Majesty summoned me, I will risk my life to persuade you--"
Three strange claps of applause sounded in the tunnel, and Song Chengming was startled and said: "Come here."
A young eunuch came from the palace. He quietly approached Song Chengming and left quickly. This showed that he was his eyes and ears in the palace.
"Xiao Wan, let's see you underground." He smiled, but his expression was already determined on the edge of the cliff, "Prince Zhao's army may have crossed the Yellow River. If Mr. Li Guogong was persuaded by him as Mr. Liu said,
Duke Li Guo has now taken charge of the army by the Yellow River. This has been decided by His Majesty long ago."
"...!!" She was surprised and nodded, "That's right, that's not the case. Why did Prince Zhao's Mansion send five rounds of messengers to bribe him?"
Liu Ruhai interrupted: "How many batches did you kill?"
"Five batches," she answered.
Song Chengming's heart suddenly returned to the sky from the bottom of the valley, and he was overjoyed. Let alone killing all five groups, as long as he could kill one or two groups, there was still room for maneuver.
She looked at Liu Ruhai indifferently: "I have suspected Duke Li Guo for a long time. You are actually in Duke Li's mansion, and you can still see the palace-made lying rabbit in his inner house. You have stared at him for too long."
Liu Ruhai stared at her for a long time: "I give things to you. Is it any wonder that I shouldn't give the best?"
"You are not that kind of person."
"What's wrong with me?"
She turned to look at Song Chengming: "Talk to him."
Song Chengming looked at Liu Ruhai in surprise, as if he had just learned that he had given a woman a personal gift to Cao Xiwan. The Marquis of Nankang laughed again and said to Cao Xiwan: "Isn't it just that he refused to let you do the laundry?
How many years have you remembered it?"
She looked at Liu Ruhai: "Do you understand? You are very smart. I have never forgotten you in all these years." She laughed, "Do you think I will be negligent? When you were in Yanjing City, you were so young, and you opened a shop.
You can also disguise yourself. In order to save money, you won’t let me wash your five cents worth of clothes.”
"The patient's clothes must be burned. My clothes must not be touched by children."
"I don't have enough to eat, so whose clothes do I care about!"
She was furious, but also kind-hearted, "Even if you are a nice person and remember to bring me steamed buns, but you were so awesome when you were a child, I remember you. For a person like you, no matter how small things you notice, they must be big things. I'll go
I checked and found out that the palace-made bun that Wo Tu'er wears was first worn by a concubine in Duke Li's mansion. Her brother is a member of Duke Li's army and went to the military camp at the mouth of the Yellow River last month. This brother is you
People?"
"...They are two siblings. Did your spy find her?"
"right."
"I was negligent. I thought that at that time, Su Jintian wanted that batch of eyeliner from you. Later, you did give it away. So I was negligent."
"Yes." She was surprised, "Have you ever seen me give people things for free?"
"I thought Su Jintian was different."
"Yes, he is different. He won't pay back the money he owes. He wants me to get the money back myself." She scorned. Song Chengming laughed. He listened from beginning to end and understood what was going on.
Liu Ruhai thought that sooner or later, Cao Xiwan would give away the batch of informants to Su Jintian. In this way, she would retreat and completely withdraw from the City Patrol Department. She would not get involved in these things.
He gave Cao Xiwan a gift, probably because he wanted to persuade her to surrender to Prince Zhao. Is there any love between men and women? It doesn't matter at all, because if you make the wrong step, you will die.
Song Chengming looked at Liu Ruhai. He understood Xiaowan's thoughts. Liu Ruhai was so bold. Maybe his true identity was:
Xingxing Si Xingren was appointed by Taizu Xingwu.
Otherwise, Liu Ruhai is a very treacherous and dangerous person.
Liu Ruhai was silent, finally being ridiculed by her and feeling a little unconfident.
Wasn't he too stupid to think that her friendship with Su Jintian was different? Fortunately, she suddenly spoke again: "You think Su Jintian forced me to hand over my informant just to seize power and drive me out of the City Patrol Department. That's right.
, it’s all like this in the yamen.”
He had three points of comfort. He was obviously acting according to common sense.
"But Su Jintian, he doesn't want to be a thousand households or a general in the future in the yamen. He will not offend me for this matter."
"I don't think he takes the position of Biying Palace Master seriously either." He retorted vaguely, with a smile on his lips.
Song Chengming was on the side. He could still laugh when he saw that he had made such a big mistake. He admired his calmness, but he was even more anxious in his heart. Where did Prince Zhao find such a spy leader? He, Song Chengming, had been in Jinyiwei for more than 20 years.
None of them got the news.
Cao Xiwan nodded: "Yes. He doesn't think much of the position of Palace Master Biying. After all, I have always said that the position of Palace Master should be Xiao Qiao, Xiao Shuang and the others' target."
"...So?" Could it be that he has high ambitions and ulterior motives? In fact, we can come together to rebel, Liu Ruhai asked.
She had an expression on her face that said "Why should I tell you this secret?" She spoke seriously, and actually told another big secret, which even surprised Song Chengming. She said: "The concubine in Li Guogong's mansion, their parentage is unknown,
I checked again. The maid next to her who was beading this lying rabbit was actually named Cao. She was from Yanjing City. She was my father's half-sister. Only now did I know that there was another one.
Aunt, thank you very much. My father was an orphan since he was a child."
"It's a small thing." Liu Ruhai smiled and slowly raised his hands, "Your Majesty is very affectionate towards me."
Cao Xiwan probably didn't know that her father was hiding in his courtyard at the end of last winter, nagging him that he didn't like Qin Meng, the monk's son-in-law.
"My father likes you. In fact, you are willing to pretend to be stupid. Listening to him talk about medical science that makes no sense every day, I know it. Don't worry, you will die in the capital, you will die in my hands, but I will not do it myself.
"She also held her bear paw fist and gave a deep salute, "Young Master Liu is a refined person and has great ideas. If it weren't for the current situation, Mr. Liu and I would definitely be best friends."
