The next day, Qin Mubai returned to the barracks.

Today is still the scheduled day for the review of military orders and regulations, Qin Mubai has not forgotten this important event. However, Zhao Chong and Pang Fei disappeared together for a few days. There have been some rumors and speculations in the military camp, but they have not spread and amplified. Pang Fei's place was really foolish, and Qin Mubai said that he had sent something else to let him go out to handle it. It's just that on the Zuoying navy side, the captain has not been commanded for several days, and everyone can't help but speculate.

The review of military regulations and regulations went smoothly. Perhaps everyone was frightened by Feng Dao Scar's head. Qin Mubai gave an order, and few dared to neglect it. The passing rate of the exams is quite high, and the few that got bad exams are also caused by tension. Only when there is a degree of relaxation can you control others. This time Qin Mubai read the favor, and did not retransmit. Rather, it gave those people a chance to make up the exam and then take the make-up exam in a few days.

In the evening, Qin Mubai summoned Du Chengyuan and other lieutenant officials to discuss with them and elect another Zuoying school lieutenant to temporarily replace Zhao Chong.

Everyone asked in shock, where did Zhao Chong go after missing for a few days?

Qin Mubai felt helpless, so he had to say: "Don't tell everyone, he is missing."

"What?!" Everyone was shocked, and even Du Chengyuan performed extremely well.

"I will investigate this matter personally. What you all have to do is to hide the news so that the sergeants don’t know it, and to breed speculation by adding troubles." Qin Mubai said, "Well, the Zuoying navy can’t live without it. Commander, please nominate one person, or recommend yourself, to temporarily replace Zhao Chong in charge of the navy."

After a pause, Qin Mubai said again: "General Du, you are the old residence of the military mansion, and you are familiar with it, so you can come up and propose a candidate first, let's all add up!"

Qin Mubai's actions were nothing more than for Du Chengyuan to see. He wanted to show the water ghosts a "cooperative" attitude. Because the food trade must be carried out on the waterway, the Zuoying school lieutenant who patrols the water must be a vital role. The person chosen by Du Chengyuan must be his confidant. In this way, the water ghost must be satisfied.

Du Chengyuan understood his mind, so he casually said a few names, nothing more than Zuoying's brigade and others. Everyone also discussed for a while and decided on a candidate.

Qin Mubai simply said: "General Du, I have been busy with official duties these days and need to travel around. There may be a lot of time in the military camp. You will take charge of the military affairs. In addition, Zuoyingshui The military has always been very important, and you have to bother."

Du Chengyuan arched his hands and said: "The general has orders, and he must obey them when he decides."

"That's good." Qin Mubai nodded and smiled deeply, and sighed again, "Although I came to Xiangzhou to be an official, I still can't take off the skin of a Beijing official. In a few days, the newly appointed Dengzhou governor Qi Wang Li You will take office. As you know, Dengzhou is the Linzhou of Xiangzhou, and Qi Wang belongs to the general... Therefore, I had to go to congratulate him in person." /

Du Chengyuan smiled intentionally: "Qi Wang Liyou, isn't that the elder brother of Princess Gaoyang and the eldest brother-in-law of General Qin? It is normal for people to go and go. This season is busy with farming, and most of the soldiers are busy. There is neither winter training nor special training in farming, and there are no major events in the military mansion. Please feel free to go to the generals. You can leave everything to the low-level staff."

"Then you will have trouble." Qin Mubai stood up and arched his hands.

"General Qin is too polite!"

When he walked out of the military tent, Du Chengyuan deliberately turned his head and looked at Qin Mubai deeply, his eyes were extremely warm and complicated. Obviously, he knew what had happened in the past few days. By all accounts, Qin Mubai and him were "people in the same boat", but before that, Qin Mubai had his brother-in-law beheaded again. Public and private grievances, for him, I am afraid it is also quite tangled.

After explaining these things, everyone dispersed. Qin Mubai sat there alone, wondering: Who is the master of Song Cao?

With such tossing over and over again, this "Song Cao Master" has never officially appeared. Listening to Lady Hua said, the water ghost is not a few who really know him. It can be seen that this person hides extremely deeply. Now a dark web has been cast, the purpose is to catch the water ghosts and their comrades. However, until now, I don't know who Song Cao is. How can I start to arrest him?

Qin Mubai's repeated deliberation and thoughts took everyone into consideration. Duan Rongji of Zhengchang Lianghao, Ouyang Jun of Yongye Yanfang, Wei Xiaochen, Du Chengyuan, and so on, may all be the master of Song Cao, but there is no evidence to prove it.

This person is really a dragon without seeing the head and the tail, hiding extremely deeply.

After dinner in the army, Qin Mubai was about to leave the army alone again. He and Du Chengyuan had already made it very clear just now that they would "leave the military house" for a long time. The implication is that you take advantage of this time to settle the transaction quickly, do whatever you like, I don't see it and don't worry. I will neither embarrass you nor go with you.

So, in Du Chengyuan's opinion, Qin Mubai's attitude has not changed quickly, and this is still a bit helpless, still maintaining his last "noble and high". Considering Qin Mubai's identity and personality characteristics, this is obviously more "credible".

Just as Qin Mubai rode a horse to leave, there was a noise at the gate of the camp, and a group of sergeants hurriedly ran over there. Qin Mubai walked over curiously, and several sergeants hurriedly came forward to report: "General Qin, Xiao Xiao, who has been missing for a few days, is back!"

"What?" Qin Mubai was startled and strode forward.

I saw Zhao Chong lying on a door panel of a residential house, his eyes closed as if he had passed out in a coma. There are rope marks on the left and right wrists, and the whole person looks more haggard and weak, and feels like anger.

"Where did you find it?" Qin Mubai asked.

A sergeant pointed forward: "The few fishing villagers found it in a ditch by the river when they returned their nets."

Qin Mubai bent down, sniffed and pressed the neck arteries, and said: "It's just a coma, but luckily he is alive. Please call a military doctor quickly."

"Yes!"

Several sergeants hurriedly carried Zhao Chong away. Qin Mubai came to the fishermen and interrogated them personally. The fishermen were naturally a little scared when they met the officials, and they only clarified the ins and outs of the matter. Qin Mubai carefully observed their expressions, it didn't seem like they were lying.

It turns out that Zhao Chong is also a local, and he knows many people in Xiangyang, and everyone who fishes nearby also know him. The fishermen accidentally discovered Zhao Chong who was in a coma in the ditch, and carried him to the military mansion nearby. Things were so simple.

Qin Mubai muttered in his heart: It's strange, why did Zhao Chong suddenly come back? Did he escape by himself? Or... the water ghosts deliberately let him come back?

After thinking for a long time, although Qin Mubai didn't draw a clear conclusion, his thoughts gradually became clear. He summoned Du Chengyuan and said to him: "Just now Zhao Chong was sent back, but unfortunately he was in a coma. There is no reason for questioning. I am in a hurry to leave. I will leave the rest to you first. If Zhao Once Chong has recovered, he will return and continue to lead the navy."

"Humble duty, follow orders." Du Chengyuan responded calmly.

Qin Mubai nodded: "I'm going to make an appointment with King Wu and go to Dengzhou with him. From 10 days to 20 days, I will definitely come back. Things in the military mansion will be handed over first You take care of it. Okay, I'm leaving, you can go back!"

"Respectfully send General Qin!"

Qin Mubai rode a horse and left the barracks alone. Not long after he walked out, he ran into a big acquaintance.

"Yuwen Hongtai, why are you again? Did you break into my barracks again?" Qin Mubai said with a cold face on purpose.

"Brother Qin, why do you seem to have changed people?" Yuwen Hongtai jumped off the horse to stop Qin Mubai, and said with a grimace, "You weren't like this before!" Turn your face with your Highness?"

"These things can't be explained to you." Qin Mubai said, "You are now the official of the Wu Palace, and you and I are your own masters. It is better not to talk about these. Come on, what's the matter with you? ?"

"I'm fine. I just feel so flustered and want to come and talk to you." Yuwen Hongtai said, "You said, you guys have been mysterious these days, and suddenly turned your faces, this one One by one, there is nothing I can understand. Yesterday, after you and His Highness finished arguing, His Highness made a fuss of nameless business in the mansion. He scolded and smashed things when he saw people. Early this morning, He took Xue Rengui and a group of soldiers and left the mansion. The Yamen and the mansion didn’t tell anyone, and only left one of my stunners to look after the house. My heart was bored, panicked and aggrieved. You are smart. Human beings, why do you like to put honest people like us in the middle?"

Qin Mubai laughed: "It's okay, idiot. Your Royal Highness may have gone to Dengzhou."

"Why are you going to Dengzhou?"

"Qi Wangyou, the new governor of Dengzhou, go to congratulate him." Qin Mubai sighed, "No, I am going to go too!"

"Then, then you will bump into each other again, and you can't make a big noise?" Yuwen Hongtai said worriedly, "I really can't figure it out, how can you turn your face and turn your face? Hey...! "

Qin Mubai patted Yuwen Hongtai on the shoulder: "It's okay, get on the horse, go to Xiangyang with me!"

"Ah!" Yuwen Hongtai turned on his horse and walked side by side with Qin Mubai.

Looking at him with a sad look on his face, Qin Mubai was moved and a little guilty. Yuwen Hongtai is a straightforward person, but also an enthusiastic and upright person. You should not deceive such a person. However, the fewer people know about this plan, the safer it is. So I had to blame Yuwen Hongtai for a while. Furthermore, the less he knows the truth, the more realistic he will be. The more I can help blindfold those eyeliners.

As the saying goes, when we see the truth in adversity, the more critical we are, the more we can see the essence of a person. The performance of Yuwen Hongtai in front of him made Qin Mubai clarify one thing: From the very beginning, Yuwen Hongtai was not a friend of mine!

In Xiangyang City, Qin Mubai and Yuwen Hongtai parted ways.

When we parted, Qin Mubai said: "Hong Tai, if one day my Highness and I become enemies, who do you help?"

Yuwen Hongtai's face was bitter, and he scratched his head in a hurry, and after a long time he squeezed out a sentence: "Why do you have to ask me this embarrassing question? I haven't thought about it, and I don't understand it." /

"Let's put it this way, if your Royal Highness orders you to cut me down, what will you do?" Qin Mubai asked with a smile, as if serious as if jokingly.

"I cut off my own bird's head, then it is not difficult! This is all right!" Yuwen Hongtai almost yelled at the end of this sentence, giving Qin Mubai an angry look. Pat the horse away.

"Haha!" Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, patted Ma towards Wulifang in the south of the city, and walked to the small building.

Chen Yan knew that Qin Mubai was coming at this time and prepared some dishes for him to eat together. When the two were seated, Chen Yan asked: "Everything in the military house has been sorted out."

"Well. I just went through the scene and handed over everything to Du Chengyuan. I left Xiangzhou for a while and let them act arbitrarily." Qin Mubai randomly picked up some vegetables to eat, and his brows wrinkled slightly. , Said, "But something strange happened during the period that I didn't expect."

"What's the matter?"

"The missing Zhao Chong came back." Qin Mubai said, "The man was in a coma. He was found by the fishermen by the river and sent to the military house."

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Yan was also a little surprised, frowning slightly with chopsticks in her mouth, thinking, "Then you asked, did he escape by himself, or did the water ghost deliberately let people go? "

"No, it was said that he was in a coma at the time." Qin Mubai said, "Assuming he escaped, then things are simple. Du Chengyuan will definitely know the news in advance, so it is impossible to let him Reappear in the military house."

"It makes sense!" Chen Yan's eyes lit up, "If Zhao Chong escaped, it would be great news for the water ghosts. There is no reason not to inform Du Chengyuan to make preparations in advance, so as not to let you see Zhao Chong, I know some things that you don’t want you to know. But now, Zhao Chong has returned to the barracks safely, which proves that Zhao Chong did not escape, but... the water ghost deliberately let him come back!"

"Smart." Qin Mubai twisted his eyebrows and said, "But, why did the water ghosts let Zhao Chong come back?"

The two eyes lit up at the same time: "Could it be...?!"

……

That night, Qin Mubai came to the house of Lady Hua and met with the water ghost contact person.

He is still a man in black, Qin Mubai judged that this time he came, and he was different from the two he had seen before. It can be seen that the other party is really very careful and cautious, afraid that Qin Mubai will see some clues.

Qin Mubai told the man in black about his arrangements and said that he was going to Dengzhou for a while. During this time, Xiangzhou has nothing to do with him, do whatever you like.

"General Qin, you are not sincere enough, hehe!" The man in black said with a weird smile.

"What do you mean?" Qin Mubai said a little annoyed, "I'm like this, what else do you want?"

"As far as I know, you and Li Ke did not reach a tacit agreement." The man in black said in a hurry, "Although you are willing to cooperate with us, Li Ke did not nod his head. It is not that I look down upon General Qin’s ability, but Li Ke is the governor and the prince after all. Don’t you dare to listen to what he said? If he wants to get in the way, it will be fatal."

"You are worrying too much." Qin Mu said coldly, "I understand Li Ke's character. He will never allow me to compromise with you or cooperate with you."

"Why?"

"Knowingly ask!" Qin Mubai shouted annoyed, "Because he is the prince, in his eyes, Xiangzhou is just a small place. It is impossible to use his prince identity and a future to fight with you. He He said that he would rather have no princess and daughter than be with you. It’s a good thing, but in his heart, he is more anxious to get angry than anyone. If he doesn’t tear his face with me, then he is an accomplice. Such a simple truth , You don’t understand?"

"That's it, that's how it is!" The black-clothed man laughed, "Li Ke, he is indeed a man of profound wisdom, so he can't look at him! It seems that he deliberately fell out with you, and then left behind. , The rest is up to you to behave, he doesn’t see and doesn’t worry? And you, also excuses Gao Kai Xiangzhou, the rest is left to us to take care of, you don’t have to be charged with a bandit, is that right, Qin General?"

Qin Mubai glared at the man in black with anger and annoyance: "You talk a lot of nonsense! Are you very proud now?"

"No, no, it's definitely not what I mean here. It's just that there are some things, it's better to ask clearly." The man in black hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Just ask General Qin to rest assured that after you leave Xiangzhou, we will start intensively. Work. When you come back, everything must be settled. Then, as if nothing happened. Then, according to the agreement, we will return the hostages. We will not commit crimes in Xiangzhou from now on. One year later, we will also Disappeared."

"This is the best." Qin Mubai hummed coldly.

"In order to express our sincerity, today, we have released a person, presumably General Qin should also know." The man in black laughed and said, "Slowly, we will release people one by one. Hostages General Qin does not have to worry about the safety of the country."

"Hmm..." Qin Mubai snorted in his nose and said, "But I don't think you might treat the hostages well. When Zhao Chong came back, he was in a coma."

"Don't worry, he was just turned over by some drugs, and he was in a coma for a while. Didn't you see that he had all hands and feet and no body was hurt?" The man in black laughed weirdly, "We are also forced to help. Ah, is it possible to open the door like this and let him go? If he brings a team of soldiers back to fight back then, won't we be terrified?"

"Enough, I don't want to talk nonsense with you." Qin Mubai said with a anger, like a bag of anger, "I will leave Xiangzhou now. I will come back in half a month. At that time, I will I don’t want to see you again!"

"Let's go, General Qin!" The man in black stood up, waved his hand and said to Lady Hua behind him, "Lady Flower, don't see you off?"

"Good acridine!" The flower lady is still charming, twisting her waist and putting her hand on Qin Mubai's shoulder, saying in her sticky voice, "General Qin, how can you go out without a beautiful woman? Well, let the slave family travel with you!"

Qin Mubai glared angrily: "Is this sending someone to monitor me?"

"Where, where." The man in black seemed to be someone who didn't have the slightest anger, and said with a smile, "I'm just a good intention to let Lady Hua go with me. The journey is lonely and the night is long, don't General Qin need Are you alone with me?"

"Hmph!" Qin Mubai snorted coldly, shaking his robe and walking downstairs. Lady Hua gave a smile and quickly followed.

The man in black sat down slowly, and a sigh came from the hole in the mask, as if he was taking a long breath.

"So, it should be safe! It's not easy, I finally eat him!"
