The next day, three poles in the sun.

Qin Mubai and Chen Yan both walked out of the small building. Qin Mubai yawned and stretched out, haha ​​smirked: "Yan, don't tell me, it turns out that being an assassin is also very exciting. When the moon is black and the wind is high at night, when the murder is overtaken. Trace, haha! I won’t be an official next day, I'll go with you! Let’s go walking around the rivers and lakes and be a pair of fairy heroes."

"Nonsense. Leave the princes and generals alone and go to the world." Chen Yan smiled and said, "How did you talk with Li Ke last night?"

"Well, it's almost done." Qin Mu sighed and said, "I made a plan to deceive the eyeliners of those rapes, mainly to deceive them of their trust in me. Now I understand that Qianglong does not suppress The meaning of the snake. These people, count as Xiao Xiaoxiao, are not worth mentioning. However, we, the so-called big people in the court, come here to fight with them, and we really feel fisted. When it comes to cotton, we can’t do much. So, now we’ve changed our strategy. We can’t do with them drastically as we did before, and we have to deal with them with some subtle tricks. Yan, you are an expert in this area. , You have to teach me."

"Okay--" Chen Yan dragged her voice long and smiled, "Finally, there are some places where I can play a role. Can I not try hard? Let's go, and then go back to Cishi Mansion. I see you How did you act with Li Ke."

At noon, the Governor's Mansion.

Qin Mubai and Chen Yan walked in from the front gate of the Cishi Mansion, and they met Zhou Laojiu, the leader of the bureau.

Zhou Laojiu came up in shock: "General Qin, you are back! Are you safe and sound? His Royal Highness Wu is in a panic!"

"I'm fine. Do you think I have something to do?" Qin Mubai smiled slightly to himself, and patted Zhou Laojiu on the shoulder, "Where is your Highness?"

"In the back house, the villain will lead you!" After all, Zhou Laojiu led the way lovingly.

Qin Mubai and Chen Yan looked at each other and smiled, and followed him forward in a calm manner.

Along the way, Zhou Laojiu still seemed to have something to say, so he looked at Chen Yan, but he stopped talking. Qin Mubai said: "Just say what you want, she is not an outsider."

"Oh, oh!" Zhou Laojiu smiled awkwardly, greeted Chen Yan, and whispered: "General Qin, you have gone to Hua Niangzi's Mansion for three days. Can you gain? "

"Yes!" Qin Mubai nodded, and put on his shoulders and walked forward a few steps to avoid Chen Yan's sight and hearing, and chuckled in a low voice: "Miss Hua, she is really coquettish!"

"Eh?..." Zhou Laojiu was taken aback, and then he laughed dryly, "General Qin, you really are romantic, romantic, haha!"

"Keep your voice down, look for death!" Qin Mubai slapped his head angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Is it necessary to let everyone in the house know that I am going to find pleasure? By the way, go help me Call those two hundred horses."

"The two?" Zhou Laojiu blinked, staring blankly.

"The two idiots I sent to protect Zheng Anshun!"

"Yes, the villain will go right away!"

Zhou Laojiu ran away madly. Chen Yan hugged a sword in her chest and smiled coldly: "He didn't cover up very well."

"In the eyes of old rivers and lakes like you, of course it's not very good." Qin Mubai smiled, "Now it's not smarter than anyone who is more patient, but someone who is more able to cover up and be able to deceive. Hey. When I knew I should be in Chang'an, I learned how to act with those Liyuan children."

"A disciple like you, no master is willing to accept it."

"Why?" Qin Mubai was astonished, "Is my aptitude really so bad?"

"Because...they have nothing to teach you." Chen Yan smiled sweetly, and walked forward.

"Am I really so good?" Qin Mubai shook his head and sneered, and followed.

For the past few days, Li Ke, who was depressed, ignored political affairs and shut himself up in the backyard of the governor's house. He was either furious or drank his sorrows. Almost everyone in the whole government knew about it. Therefore, no one dared to touch him at this time, at best, Quan Wanji came to see him sooner or later to help and persuade him, but it was of no avail. Li Ke's mood was getting worse, and he often heard that he was drunk and scolded and beat people.

When Qin Mubai walked to the lobby of the back house, he heard Li Ke roaring like thunder from a distance: "What do you do for food! As big as Xiangyang City, I can't find anyone! This king orders you , I must find the thief Qin Mubai today! Even if you dig three feet to dry the Han River, the stranger will see the corpse if you die!"

"Yes..." Yuwen Hongtai and Xue Rengui gave their promises with a sad face. They were about to turn around and withdraw. Suddenly they saw Qin Mubai and Chen Yan both approaching, and they shouted in surprise: "Your Highness, Your Highness! General Qin is back!"

"Where?" Li Ke almost jumped up from the seat and rushed to the threshold and shouted: "Mu Bai, so you are not dead!!!"

The roar was so loud that the servant girls walking around in the house were all startled and stopped looking sideways.

"Without your Majesty Jun's order, how can you dare to die easily." Qin Mubai walked up quickly with a smile, arched his hands, "Your Highness, I'm back."

"Okay, okay, I'll be back." Li Ke took him by the hand and walked into the room with great surprise, "Quickly tell Xiao Wang, what's the progress? Are Wang Fei and others all right?"

Chen Yan stood under the eaves with her sword in her arms and chuckled secretly: These two big men really know how to put on airs. Needless to say, even Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai had to be deceived. If I am not an insider, how can I see it through? In this way, it is not difficult to fool the two spies Zhou Laojiu and Zhang Tong.

Just as they were muttering, two Baiqi came to the front of the hall under the guidance of Zhou Laojiu. Zhou Laojiu hit the arch and said: "General Qin, the villain was ordered to invite two Baiqi generals."

"Shit, what is the general, two rice buckets!" Qin Mubai snarled loudly inside, "Get me in!"

Zhang Tong and the other Hundred Cavaliers suddenly changed their faces, bowed their heads and sullenly, and walked in tremblingly.

Yuwen Hongtai and Xue Rengui also stood outside the door, and at this time they all showed a look of astonishment. Yuwen Hongtai whispered: "Brother Rengui, have you ever seen Qin Sange swear in public?"

"Never."

Yuwen Hongtai chuckled his lips: "That dare to love him, he is really angry. I don't know where he has been and what he has done in the past few days? I'm holding back and want to ask, but dare not speak." Turning his eyes to glance at Chen Yan, he leaned forward with a smile and said: "Chen...woman, can I ask you a question?"

"No." Chen Yan said coldly without turning her face.

"Uh..." Yuwen Hongtai was taken aback, "I haven't spoken yet!"

"You just want to ask, where has Qin Mubai been and what has been done in the past few days, right?" Chen Yan said jokingly, but her face was still cold and frosty.

Yuwen Hongtai was really taken aback: "How do you know? Could it be that you know mind reading?"

"I don't understand." Chen Yan said, "It's just that the ears work better."

"What do you mean?" Yuwen Hongtai was even more stunned.

Xue Rengui smiled bitterly on the side, and hurriedly returned Yuwen Hongtai: "Be less ashamed, come back soon!"

"Why are you in a hurry, let me ask!" Yuwen Hongtai was confused.

At this moment, the two Baiqi in the main hall had already knelt down and did not dare to lift their heads.

Qin Mubai stepped forward, lifted his foot, and gave them a moment on each side, kicking them to the ground on the spot. The two dared not say anything, they rolled on the ground and hurriedly returned, kneeling on the spot, not even the shape changed.

"You are also worthy of being called Baiqi?" Qin Mubai sneered, "Pack your bags, go back to Chang'an and marry a wife and children!"

"General! Humble duty knows wrong, humble duty deserves to die! But please give us a chance to redeem our merits!" Two hundred horses pleaded with great anxiety.

"Go away! I don't need a rice bucket like yours!" Qin Mubai shouted angrily.

"Mu Bai, Mu Bai!" Li Ke hurriedly stood up and pulled Qin Mubai two, and said, "Everything is easy to discuss, why get angry? As the saying goes, the old horse has stumbled, let alone a human? Both of them. I have been following you for some time, and I have travelled thousands of miles from Chang'an to Xiangzhou. At least this loyalty is commendable! Although I made a mistake for a while, there is no need to kick them away. This is a bit too affectionate. ."

"I'm in love?" Qin Mu raised his eyebrows, and shouted in anger, "You ask them both. What is the first rule of the Hundred Cavalry Army?"

The two Baiqi were stunned, and replied with a bitter face: "Where Baiqi takes over the task, it is not allowed to fail. The offender is dismissed."

Li Ke was taken aback: "It's not that serious, right?"

Qin Mubai said: "That's because Baiqi is different from other armies. In fact, any task we take over can only succeed, not fail. If it fails, it means that the lives of the people we protect are worrying. Your Highness. Think about it, who will be the person protected by Baiqi? From this point of view, this punishment is still light."

"Hey, military regulations are dead, but people live!" Li Ke was still in front of the peacemaker, persuading with all his heart, "You send them to protect Zheng Anshun, people are lost, but it doesn't mean He... his life is worrying! The most important thing now is to find a way to save people, not to punish his brother. I also know that your Hundred Cavalry Army rules are strict, but this time, you look at Xiao Wang, from How about a light hair fall? Now when it's right to use people, I hope you think twice."

The two Baiqi both knelt and dared not move, listening to their hair.

Qin Mubai was silent for a moment, and snorted coldly: "Why don't you thank King Wu soon!"

"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Wu, and thank the General for his kindness!" The two Baiqi bowed in surprise.

"Okay, okay, all get up." Li Ke stepped forward with a smile to help the two of them, and said, "Actually, your general is most reluctant to bear you, but it’s just hard and soft—well, Mu Bai , Where did you tell me just now?"

"Oh, speaking of...I entered the house of the Flower Lady." Qin Mubai said casually.

The two Baiqi obediently stood behind Qin Mubai, just like guards from the side as usual. Qin Mubai also naturally did not drive them away, but sat down with Li Ke and began to discuss matters.

Qin Mubai was one to five and ten, and truthfully informed Li Ke of his experience in the past few days. Of course, the personal affair with Chen Yan is of course not as profound.

Finally, Qin Mubai said: "His Royal Highness, I have no choice. At the moment, we seem to have no choice. In fact, since the water ghost has agreed to my two conditions, both to ensure the safety of the hostages, and We promise that we will not commit crimes in Xiangzhou in the future, and we will dissolve by ourselves within a year. We temporarily compromise, and it’s okay."

"What are you talking about?" Li Ke raised his eyebrows in surprise, with a bit of anger, "This group of thieves murdered and robbed the official ship, and also captured my princess, and arrested your officers for threats. Being so daring is simply arrogant, you actually want to compromise with them? What will you do to me and the face of Li Ke?"

Qin Mubai looked embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't get angry first. The immediate priority is not to save people? I am also helpless! The princess and the princess have several lives in their hands. , As long as they move their fingers, that is a matter of life and death! Why don’t we take a step back and save people first?"

Li Ke snorted coldly: "Then who can guarantee that they will really disappear in Xiangzhou after they succeed? They will really disband and wash their hands after a year? I tell you, thief is hard to change. They use this time If the method of coercion succeeds, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no next time. This time we compromised, what can we do next time? Besides, when we compromise with thieves, that is the sin of condoning and sheltering! Such a big handle is held in their hands. Here, I really don’t know how I will be a politician in the future! Maybe they will be upset and throw a paper to Chang'an. I don’t want to be a prince anymore!"

Qin Mubai twisted his brows: "So what should you do in your opinion?"

Li Ke patted the table with one hand: "If even a few water bandits can't be dealt with, how will we stand in the future? Nothing to say, never compromise!"

Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed: "Does your Highness think I want to compromise? What's the difference between breaking a tooth and swallowing it in my stomach? After all, it's not because of the few lives in their hands! "

"Qin Mubai, when did you become so greedy for life and fear of death and suffering!" Li Ke was suddenly furious, pointing at Qin Mubai and cursing, "I will never compromise! If they harm the princess because of this Mother and daughter, me, me..."

"How will you?" Qin Mu asked coldly.

"I'll take it. They went back to heaven due to dystocia a year ago!"

Yuwen Hongtai and Xue Rengui outside the house both changed their faces, and their expressions added a little bit of chill. Chen Yan picked up the corner of her mouth lightly with a smile, still calm.

"Wu Wang..." Qin Mubai took a deep breath and said, "I know you are just acting with loyalty. No one is more concerned about the safety of their mother and daughter than you."

"You don't have to say things so beautifully." Li Ke's face suddenly became a little cold, even a bit sad, and said in a deep voice, "I have my bottom line and principles. I want a prince to compromise with thieves. , I can’t do it! Let alone capture my concubine and daughter, even if I put a knife on my Li Ke’s neck, it’s absolutely impossible!"

"I understand what you mean." Qin Mubai nodded, snorted coldly, and said: "Compared with your throne and future, a woman with a bit of bone and blood is really nothing. Anyway, The last thing you lack is women, right?"

"What did you say?" Li Ke suddenly furious, turned around and grabbed Qin Mubai's lapels, gritted his teeth and shouted, "You say it again?"

"Am I wrong?" Qin Mubai looked at Qin Mubai coldly, using a bit of dark power in his hand, opened Li Ke's hand, and hummed coldly: "Today, I can really see you. Maybe someday someone from Qin Qin can sacrifice for you, right? Because compared to the princess and the princess, it’s clear which one is relative!"

"Qin Mubai, you are going to turn your face with me, right?" Li Ke stared at Qin Mubai with wide eyes, shaking with anger.

Qin Mubai shook his head with an indifferent expression: "There is no face to turn around, because I think it's shameless enough to stay here, begging for nothing. Let’s put it this way, your Royal Highness. I’m Qin. At any rate, the man is the Zhechong captain of Xiangzhou. There will be banditry under the treatment. I will take care of it by myself, and I will not worry about the assassination of Shifu."

"Qin Mubai! You are so bold!" Li Ke was furious, almost roaring, "You mean, what do you want to do, I don't care about you, right?"

"You have to understand this way, you can." Qin Mubai said coldly, "Historically, the governor and the captain have nothing to do with military and political affairs. You take care of your people's livelihood, and I take care of my military affairs. Water ghost case. It's a big case. The case should be heard by your governor's government office. But it is our military government's responsibility to suppress thieves and bandits. You don't need your governor to point your finger at them. Just wait for me to deal with the water ghost case. After the treatment is clear, it is enough to hand the offender to you for trial. Otherwise, don’t bother."

At this time, Yuwen Hongtai, Xue Rengui and the two Baiqi in the hall were all stunned. The four of them all wanted to come forward to persuade them, but when they saw Li Ke and Qin Mubai's position, they were all a little embarrassed and didn't dare to come forward.

"How could this be? How could the two of them turn their faces?"

"According to you, I am troubled?" Li Ke stared, surprised and exasperated. "You mean, you insist on doing what you want? Compromise with the water ghost and exchange it. Hostage?"

"It's useless to say more." Qin Mubai sighed, then calmed down a bit, and said, "His Royal Highness, I understand your difficulties, but if things are done the way you say, it will definitely depend on Tim. The new blood has taken many lives. You are cruel and unfeeling, I can’t do it. If anyone wants to put us on a crime of fornicating a thief, let me, Qin, alone. From today onwards , This case has nothing to do with you. You can be at ease in the governor and be your solemn, radiant, and radiant governor!"

"You are presumptuous!" Li Ke casually fetched a tea cup and slammed it on the ground. Suddenly, a cup of water splashed, shocking everyone.

"Qin Mubai, if you don't understand it, you can blame this king for being ruthless!"

"Please feel free." Qin Mubai said coldly, "You are nothing more than preparing to impeach me, report me to Yushitai, and report me to His Majesty the Emperor, right? But, I'm willing to watch our friendship. For the sake of your loyal subordinate Yin Yang and the soldiers of the palace who sank to the bottom of the river, for the sake of...your princes and princesses and the princess, you will do it after the case is over. Such a thing."

"Do you think you are great?" Li Ke changed his face, his expressions distorted, both smiling and angry, staring at Qin Mubai, dancing with exaggerated movements, "Compared to this, I am Li Ke. A cold-blooded beast, and you are willing to try the law for the sake of your friends and family, isn't it?"

"Farewell." Qin Mubai snorted coldly in his extremely disdainful nose, arched his hands, shaking his robe and strode out.

"You stop for me!-come here, take Qin Mubai down!" Li Ke shouted behind Qin Mubai.

A group of government officials and soldiers rushed forward, but Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai were dumbfounded, their eyes straightened as they watched Qin Mubai.

In a flash, Chen Yan came to Qin Mubai's side, holding the sword, and coldly glanced at everyone in front of him: "The first one died."

Yuwen Hongtai swallowed hard: "General Qin... Brother Qin! What's wrong with you, you?"

"Yuwen Hongtai, do you dare to resist the order? Get someone for me!" Li Ke shouted.

The two Baiqi also strode to Qin Mubai's side, holding the hilt of the knife in their hands, showing their sharp light, and they were waiting in battle.

Xue Rengui stared at Qin Mubai with furrowed eyebrows for a long while, and said, "Go, General Qin."

"Xue Rengui, what did you say? You won't be able to reverse it!" Li Ke shouted angrily.

"General Qin dared to risk benevolence and righteousness, Xue Ligan and his fellow sufferers, and would like to receive the torture of His Highness!" Xue Rengui whispered this sentence to Qin Mubai, suddenly his brows sank and shouted: "The army spread out!"

Xue Rengui, a lieutenant and straight-in-chief officer of the royal mansion, gave an order, and the sergeants really dispersed for a while.

"His Royal Highness, Brother Qin! Don't you, you guys!" Yuwen Hongtai was anxious, jumping in and out anxiously like a child who lost a candy, "Don't, don't do this! We, Aren’t we all on the same boat! We should live and die together!"

"That was already yesterday, Hong Tai." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "His Majesty, the ways are different and don't seek each other. You and I can get together and get together, so why use swords and soldiers? See you? Although you and I are no longer friends, but still colleagues. If you are dissatisfied with me, you can file an impeachment letter and ask your people to detain me privately. It is a private court, which is justified by the law. "

Li Ke gritted his teeth, his bones creaking.

"Okay, very good. Now that you have talked to this point, then our old friendship will be wiped out. Qin Mubai, from today on, you and I will not offend the river. Let's do everything in business." Li Ke gasped heavily, and said almost every word, "From now on, I, Li Ke, don't know Qin Mubai, I only know that Xiangzhou Military Mansion Zhechong Duwei is--'colleague'!" /

"His Royal Highness is wise." Qin Mubai smiled coldly and strode forward.

The public officials and the sergeants surrounded the front one after another. They stopped, and they didn’t. They could only move back with Qin Mubai with swords and spears, and they “escorted” him like this. Out of the palace.

After leaving the house, Qin Mubai and Chen Yan rode on their horses, without saying a word, and went straight back to the small building.

At this moment, Qin Mubai sighed and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

"It's really like acting. Even I was almost deceived." Chen Yan smiled, "The two Baiqi have been running behind our horse's **** for a while, and they didn't dare to call you out. Stop and wait."

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't think it is enough. Because... Xue Rengui seems to see the clue."

"Not necessarily." Chen Yan smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps, he is showing his true feelings? I think he is a real cowardly man."

"These are not important anymore." Qin Mubai sighed again and again, and said, "The key is to... deceive Zhou Laojiu and Zhang Tong. Maybe there are other spy eyeliners who are ambushing in the palace. ."

"What are you going to do next?" Chen Yan asked.

Qin Mubai thought for a while and said, "I'm going to go back to the military office to explain some things. Then I will contact the water ghosts and arrange the plan. I think that the water ghosts should treat me more now. I trust it a bit."

"But, you agreed, but Li Ke didn't nod, and you turned your face away because of this. Will they be relieved?" Chen Yan asked.

"The grain trade must be carried out on the water, and Li Ke just wanted to control it, but he couldn’t control it. Besides, I can explain that Li Ke turned my face with me like this because he was thinking about his throne and future. Why didn’t you worry about the princess and the princess in your heart? If you don’t turn your face with me, he would be an accomplice. Now that you can avoid being dragged into the water by me and rely on me to save people, doesn’t it have the same beauty?" Qin Mubai Said, "So, I will be able to convince the water ghost to start trading plans with confidence!"

Chen Yan shook her head with a wry smile: "Is this the mindset of your officials?"

Qin Mubai laughed haha, "Not as vicious and insidious as you think. At least, I and Li Ke are not."
