Chapter 230

The next day, Qin mubai returned to the barracks.

Today is the scheduled day for the assessment of military orders and regulations. Qin mubai has not forgotten this event. However, Zhao Chong and Pang Fei have been missing for several days. There have been some rumors in the barracks, but they have not yet spread and amplified. Pang Fei's place was easy to make a fool of. Qin mubai said that he had sent him to do something else. However, on the other side of the Zuoying water army, there was no commander for several days, and people could not help guessing.

The assessment of military orders and regulations went smoothly. Maybe everyone was scared by Feng daoscar's head. Qin mubai gave orders, but few of them dared to neglect. The pass rate of the examination is very high, only a few of them are bad, which is also caused by tension. This time, Qin mubai read about human feelings, but he didn't take it seriously. Instead, it gives those people a chance to make up their mistakes, and they will take the make-up exam in a few days.

In the evening, Qin mubai called Du Chengyuan and other assistant generals to discuss with them and recommend another Zuoying captain to temporarily replace Zhao Chong.

And they were astonished and asked, where has Zhao Chong been missing for several days?

Qin mubai had no choice but to say, "to tell you the truth, he is missing."

"What?" As expected, everyone was shocked, and even Du Chengyuan performed extremely well.

"I'll go after it myself. All you have to do is hide the information from the sergeants. It's just a matter of speculation. " Qin mubai said, "well, the Zuoying water army can't be without a leader. Please recommend one person or volunteer to take charge of the water army instead of Zhao Chong for the time being."

After a pause, Qin mubai said again: "general Du, you are the old hostel of the military mansion, and you are familiar with it. It's up to you to put forward the candidates first. Let's all add up! "

Qin mubai's action was just for Du Chengyuan. He wanted to show his "cooperative" attitude to the water ghosts. Because the grain trade must be carried out on the waterway, and the Zuoying captain who patrols the water must be a vital role. The people selected by Du Chengyuan must be his confidants. In this way, we can ensure that the water ghost side will be satisfied.

Du Chengyuan understood and said several names casually. It's no more than the brigade commander of Zuoying and others. So they made a gesture, discussed for a while, and decided on the candidates.

Qin mubai said: "general Du, I've been busy with official business recently. I have to travel outside. I may spend a lot of time in the military camp. You'll be in charge of the affairs in the military. In addition, the Zuoying navy has always been of great importance, and it will take a lot of trouble for you. "

Du Chengyuan arched his hand and said, "the general has orders. I will obey them."

"That's good." Qin Mu Bai nodded and smile with deep meaning, and sighed, "although I came to Xiangzhou as an official, I still can't get rid of the skin of a Beijing official. In a few days, Li you, the newly promoted governor of Dengzhou, will take office. As you know, Dengzhou is the Linzhou of Xiangzhou, and the king of Qi is the general Therefore, I have to go there in person to express my congratulations. "

Du Chengyuan said with a smile: "Li you, king of Qi, isn't that the elder brother of Princess Gaoyang and the elder brother-in-law of general Qin? It's human nature to go, to go. This season is busy with farming. Most of the soldiers are busy with farming. They have neither winter training nor excellent training. There are no major events in the military mansion. Please don't worry about going, general. You can leave the big and small matters to the humble and others. "

"Thank you all." Qin mubai got up and arched his hand.

"General Qin is so polite!"

When he walked out of the military tent, Du Chengyuan also specially looked back at Qin mubai, his eyes were extremely ambiguous and complex. Obviously, he knew what had happened in the past few days. Qin mubai and he were "people on the same boat", but before, Qin mubai killed his brother-in-law. I'm afraid the public and private grudges are also very tangled in his mind.

After these things were explained, all the people scattered. Qin mubai sat there alone, thinking: who is the leader of the Song Dynasty?

After so many tosses, the "Song Cao master" never formally appeared. Listen to flower Niang son say, water ghost oneself person, also very few really know him. It can be seen that this person is deeply hidden. Now a dark net has been cast, the purpose is to catch all the water ghosts and their accomplices. However, up to now, I don't know who the song Cao master is, and where to start to arrest him?

Qin mubai repeatedly deliberated and thought, taking everyone into account. Duan Rongji of Zhengchang grain company, Ouyang Jun of Yongye salt workshop, Wei Xiaochen, Du Chengyuan, and so on, all of them may be song Cao owners, but there is no evidence to prove them.

This man is really a dragon. He is hidden very deeply.

After dinner in the army, Qin mubai is ready to leave the military mansion alone. Just now, he and Du Chengyuan have made it very clear that they want to "leave Junfu" for a long time. The implication is that you should take advantage of this period of time to handle the transaction quickly. You can do whatever you like. I'm out of sight and out of mind. I will neither embarrass you nor go along with you.

Thus, in Du Chengyuan's view, Qin mubai's attitude did not change very fast, which was somewhat helpless, and he still maintained his last "nobility". Considering Qin mubai's identity and personality, this is obviously more "credible".Just as Qin mubai was about to leave on his horse, there was a noise at the gate of the camp, and a group of soldiers rushed to that side. Qin mubai curiously walked over to have a look, and several sergeants rushed forward to report: "general Qin, Zhao Xiaowei, who has been missing for several days, has returned!"

"What?" Qin mubai was surprised and strode forward.

Zhao Chong was lying on the door of a folk house, his eyes closed, as if in a coma. There are rope marks on the left and right wrists, and the whole person looks haggard and weak.

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

A sergeant pointed to the front: "those fishing villagers were found in a ditch by the river when they just collected their nets and went home."

Qin mubai bent down. He sniffed, pressed the carotid artery, and said, "it's just a coma. Fortunately, it's alive. Please call a military doctor for treatment

"Yes

Several sergeants rushed away with Zhao. Qin mubai came to the fishermen and questioned them personally. The fishermen were a little afraid when they saw the official nature, and told the whole story clearly. Qin mubai carefully observed their looks, but it didn't seem to be lying.

It turns out that Zhao Chong is also a local. He knows a lot of people in Xiangyang City, as well as fishermen nearby. The fishermen accidentally found Zhao Chong in a coma in the ditch and carried him to the military mansion nearby. It was so simple.

Qin mubai murmured in his heart: strange, strange, how did Zhao Chong suddenly come back? Did he escape by himself? Or Did the water devils mean to let him back?

After thinking for a long time, Qin mubai didn't come to a clear conclusion, but his thinking became clear gradually. He called Du Chengyuan and said to him, "Zhao Chong was sent back just now. Unfortunately, he was in a coma. Now he can't find any reason. I'm in a hurry. I'll leave the rest to you. If Zhao Chong recovers, he will come back and continue to lead the Navy. "

"I'll do as you're told." Du Chengyuan quietly arched his hand.

Qin Mu nodded: "I'm going to make an appointment with the king of Wu and go to Dengzhou together. Ten days at least, twenty days at most, and you will surely come back. I'll leave it to you to take care of the affairs in the military mansion. OK, I'm going. Go back! "

"To general Qin!"

Qin mubai left the barracks on his horse alone. Not far away, he bumped into a big acquaintance.

"Yuwen Hongtai, why are you? Have you come to my camp again? " Qin mubai said with a cold face.

"Brother Qin, why do you look like a new man?" Yuwen Hongtai jumped off his horse to stop Qin mubai, pulled his horse by the bridle and said bitterly, "you were not like this before! Why did you turn against your highness? "

"You can't explain these things." Qin mubai said, "you are now the official of the Wu palace. You and I are in charge of each other. It's better not to talk about these. Come on, what are you doing here? "

"I'm fine. I just want to come to you to have a chat. " Yuwen Hongtai said, "you say. In recent days, you are mysterious, and suddenly turn your face. One by one, there is nothing I can understand. Yesterday, after you had a quarrel with your highness, your highness had a lot of nameless business fire in the mansion. He cursed people and smashed things. Early this morning, he left the mansion with Xue Rengui and a group of soldiers. The Yamen and the mansion didn't tell anyone. They just left me to watch the house. My heart is stuffy, flustered and depressed. You smart people do things. Why do you like to put honest people like us in a dilemma? "

Qin mubai laughed: "it's OK, nerd. Your highness may have gone to Dengzhou. "

"What are you doing in Dengzhou?"

"Qi Wangyou, the new governor of Dengzhou, went to congratulate him." Qin mubai sighed, "no, I'm going too!"

"Well, then you'll bump into each other again, and you won't have to make a lot of noise?" Yu Wen Hong Tai is extremely worried way, "really don't understand, how can you say turn a face to turn a face?"? Ah...! "

Qin mubai patted Yuwen Hongtai on the shoulder: "it's OK, mount. Come with me to Xiangyang

"Ah Yuwen Hongtai turned over and rode with Qin mubai.

Looking at his worried face, Qin mubai was moved and felt guilty. Yuwen Hongtai is a straightforward person, also a warm-hearted person, honest person. It is the worst way to deceive such people. However, the less people know about the plan, the safer it will be. So also had to aggrieve Yu Wen Hong Tai a while. Moreover, the less he knows the truth. The more realistic it is. The more you can help those eyes.

As the saying goes, the more critical the time is, the more you can see the essence of a person. In front of Yuwen Hongtai's performance, let Qin mubai clear one thing: from the beginning, Yuwen Hongtai didn't make friends in vain!

To Xiangyang City, Qin mubai and Yuwen Hongtai separated.

Before parting, Qin mubai said: "Hongtai, if one day my highness and I turn against each other and become enemies. Which one are you helping? "

Yu Wenhong's face was bitter. He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and gills. After a long time, he said, "why do you have to ask me such a difficult question? I didn't think about it. I don't understand it. ""Well, if your highness orders you to cut me off, what will you do?" Qin Mu white with a smile, as serious as if joking asked.

"If I cut off my head, I won't be embarrassed! It's OK after all Yuwen Hongtai almost roared to finish this sentence. He glared at Qin mubai angrily and walked away.

"Ha ha!" Qin Mu Bai shakes his head and smiles. He pats his horse and goes to wulifang in the south of the city.

Chen Yan knows Qin mubai is coming at this time and prepares some dishes for him to eat. When they were seated, Chen Yan asked, "everything in the military mansion has been sorted out."

"Well. I just went through the scene and handed over everything to Du Chengyuan. I left Xiangzhou for a while, so they did whatever they wanted. " Qin mubai picked up some dishes at will, and his brow was slightly twisted. "But something strange happened to me that I didn't expect," he said

"What's the matter?"

"The missing Zhao Chong is back." Qin mubai said, "people are comatose. They were found by fishermen by the river and sent to Junfu."

"Such a thing?" Chen Yan was also a little surprised. She frowned slightly and held chopsticks in her mouth. She thought, "did you ask? He escaped by himself. Or does the water devil want to release people

"No, it was said that he was in a coma at that time." Qin mubai said, "assuming that he escaped, it would be easy. Du Chengyuan would know the news in advance, and it would never let him appear in the military mansion again."

"It makes sense!" Chen Yan's eyes brightened. "If Zhao Chong escaped, it's definitely big news for the water ghosts. There's no reason not to inform Du Chengyuan to prepare in advance. So as not to let you see Zhao Chong and know something you don't want to know. But now, Zhao Chong safely returned to the barracks, which proves that Zhao Chong did not escape, but The water devil let him back on purpose

"Smart." Qin Mu Bai twisted his eyebrows and said, "but why do the water ghosts want to let Zhao Chong back?"

Two people at the same time eyes a bright: "is it...?!"

……

That night, Qin mubai came to Hua Niangzi's house and made an appointment with Shuigui's contact person.

He was still a man in black. Qin mubai judged that he was different from the two people he had met before. It can be seen that the other side is really very careful, afraid to let Qin mubai see something.

Qin mubai told the man in black about his arrangement and said that he was going to Dengzhou for a while. during this period. Xiangzhou has nothing to do with him. You can do whatever you like.

"General Qin, you are not sincere enough, haha!" The man in black laughs strangely.

"What do you mean?" Qin mubai a little annoyed way, "I am like this, what do you want?"

"As far as I know, you don't have a tacit understanding with Li Ke." The man in Black said, "although you are willing to cooperate with us, Li Ke didn't nod his head. It's not that we despise general Qin's ability. But Li Ke, after all, is a governor and a prince. Dare you not listen to him? If he wants to get in the way, it's also fatal. "

"You worry too much." Qin mubai said coldly, "I know Li Ke's character. He will never verbally allow me to compromise with you and cooperate with you. "

"Why?"

"Know it, ask it!" Qin mubai yelled angrily, "because he is the prince. In his eyes, Xiangzhou is just a tiny place. There's no need to take his own Prince status and have a bright future. Fight with you. He said that he would rather have no princess and daughter than go along with you. That's right, but in his heart, he was more anxious than anyone else. If he doesn't tear my face, he's an accomplice. You don't understand such a simple truth? "

"So it is, so it is!" The man in black laughed, "Li Ke. As expected, he is a man with profound wisdom and skill. He can't be superficial! It seems that he is deliberately falling out with you, and then left, the rest of the left by your mischief, he can't see the heart? As for you, you also take advantage of GaoKai Xiangzhou. We will take care of the rest. You don't have to be accused of being a bandit. Is that right, general Qin? "

Qin Mu looked at the man in black angrily: "you talk a lot! Are you proud now? "

"No, I don't mean that. It's just that there are some things that you'd better ask clearly. " The man in black waved his hand quickly and said, "please don't worry, general Qin. After you leave Xiangzhou, we will work hard. When you come back, everything must be settled. By then, it's like nothing happened. And then, according to the agreement, we will return the hostages and never commit a crime in Xiangzhou. One year later, they will disappear. "

"That's the best way." Qin mubai hummed coldly.

"In order to show our sincerity, today, we have released one person, so general Qin should know." The man in black laughs and bows his hand. "Slowly, we will release people in turn. General Qin doesn't have to worry about the safety of the hostages. "

"Well..." Qin Mu Bai snorted and said, "but I don't think you can treat the hostages very well. When Zhao Chong came back, he was in a coma. "

"Don't worry, he's just numbed by some overpowering drugs and has to be in a coma for a while. Don't you see his hands and feet together, and there's no big injury on his whole body? " The man in Black said with a strange smile, "we are helpless. Why don't you open the door like this and let him go? If he comes back with a team of soldiers, won't we suffer? ""That's enough. I don't want to talk to you anymore." Qin Mu Bai looked angry and said, "I will leave Xiangzhou now. Come back in half a month. I don't want to see you then! "

"Good to go, general Qin!" The man in black stood up, waved his hand and said to the flower lady behind him, "flower lady, don't you want to see her off?"

"Good Flower lady is still very charming. She twisted her waist and put her hand on Qin mubai's shoulder. In her sticky voice, she said, "general Qin, how can you go out and play without a beautiful woman? Let me go out with you!"

Qin mubai glared angrily: "is this to send someone to spy on me?"

"Where, where." The man in black seemed to be a man without half a trace of anger. He said with a smile, "we just wanted to let lady Hua accompany us. The journey is lonely and the night is long. Doesn't general Qin need someone to accompany him? "

"Hum!" Qin mubai snorted coldly, shook his front robe and walked downstairs. Flower Niang son Jiao smile, quickly followed up.

The man in black sat down slowly, and a sigh came out of the mask hole, as if he had a long breath.

"So, it's safe! It's not easy. I ate him at last
