East Factory Governor

Chapter 657 Difficult and Not Difficult
Li Dingguo said confidently, "Wu Yutian's deputy commander-in-chief's mansion was originally in Chengdu. Although Cao Guozhang intends to take his family as hostages, he will not take his family away. Otherwise, why not just tell Wu Yutian that Cao Guozhang doesn't believe it?" he?"

"So, the biggest possibility is that Wu Yutian's family members are still in the Wu Mansion, but Cao Guozhang sent some more people there in the name of 'protection'."

"In this way, we have to do two things now. First, find out where the Wu Mansion is. Second, find out how many troops are inside and outside the Wu Mansion, and how many masters are guarding them. Only then can we formulate an action strategy."

Qin Shuhuai smiled slightly and said, "These are not difficult."

Li Dingguo nodded, "Grandpa Guo has eyes and ears all over the world, so it's not difficult."

Qin Shuhuai pointed to the seat and said, "Li Canjun, sit down."

Li Dingguo sat down.

Qin Shuhuai said, "Li Canjun has no doubts, based on whether we can snatch Wu Yutian's family?"

Li Dingguo didn't think too much, and said bluntly, "I have doubts, but I have never doubted it."

"how do I say this?"

"Based on the few of us, we will not be able to snatch away Wu Yutian's family. I thought of this when I entered Sichuan. However, I also know that since the Duke enters Sichuan, he must be sure. However, I did not expect it at the time. What kind of method the Duke will use, so he is puzzled. But there is no doubt."

Qin Shuhuai chuckled, "Then do you know now?"

"Now I know. I speculated from the clues that there might be cooperation between the White Lotus Sect and the Duke of the State, so I searched for members of the White Lotus Sect in the army. But I never thought that the Duke of the State is the leader of the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect is spread all over the world. And Chengdu is a big city, there must be a lot of White Lotus believers in the city, so the Duke doesn't need to bring so many people into Sichuan."

Speaking of this, Li Dingguo took another deep breath, and couldn't help but sighed, "Grandpa holds the entire martial arts forest in his hands, and plays an important role in the court. I didn't expect to hold the sharp blade of the White Lotus Sect behind his back. Hehe..."

He gave a very meaningful smile, then stopped there.

But it's self-explanatory.

Qin Shuhuai picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at the tea leaves in the teacup, and said earnestly, "Brother Dingguo, you want to say that the power of the public is overwhelming, and you can cover the sky with one hand, right?"

Li Dingguo remained silent, just fiddled with the tea in his hand with the tea cover.

Just saying "Brother Dingguo", Li Dingguo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Brother Dingguo, I really hold the power now, and I can decide life and death with one word." Qin Shuhuai sighed, "But so what. Anyone who can kill is just a hero. Your foster father is, Li Zicheng is, and this lord That’s right, none of us are really big figures. A real hero is one who can rejuvenate the country with one word, one who can make the country prosperous and the people rich. But I ask myself, there is absolutely no such great talent.”

Li Dingguo glanced at Qin Shuhuai, but remained silent.

"People say that Cao Cao is a hero in troubled times and a capable minister in governing the country. Hehe, I am only half of him." Qin Shuhuai said with emotion, "Cao Guozhang, Zhou Yanru, and even the Devil's Sect, Jiannu, Western Regions, and Mongolian ministries, think about what I have. There are so many opponents. To put them down, I don’t know how many good men will have to shed blood on the battlefield. Compared with this, what I am more afraid of is that the peaceful world won by the soldiers with their lives will eventually be entrusted to others Without Donglin, who can guarantee that there will be no Xilin, Beilin, and Nanlin, haha."

Qin Shuhuai spoke these words with sincerity.Because he was really worried that the group of bureaucrats who had been replaced now would follow Donglin's old path.

His ultimate goal is to prosper the world, not to pacify it.

Li Dingguo remained silent, but in the silence, he adjusted his sitting posture and focused his eyes on Qin Shuhuai, as if he wanted to understand what kind of person this was.

Qin Shuhuai also looked at Li Dingguo, and their eyes met.

"Brother Dingguo, I am not enough to revive the world by myself. Neither the White Lotus Sect nor the martial arts are enough to revive the world. Do you understand what I mean? Brother Dingguo, what I lack is a great talent like you."

Li Dingguo's heart fluttered.

After a long silence, he finally said, "The Duke of the State has praised you so much, my servant... I have little knowledge."

Still refuse.

But this time I declined.

And there is no mention of fierce words such as revenge for killing the father.

That's it.

Qin Shuhuai smiled wryly, "Hehe... Well, I have thought a lot and talked a lot. You have worked hard these days, so go and rest."

Li Dingguo stood up, "I will take my leave."

Qin Shuhuai watched Li Dingguo's figure disappear at the door, thoughtfully.

After dark, Qin Shuhuai went out and came to a blacksmith's shop in the town.

A fat man in his 30s was tinkling an iron in a shop, sparks flying everywhere.

Qin Shuhuai saw no one around, and said, "Boss, relatives are here."

The fat man was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Where are your relatives?"

"A vacuum hometown, no birth mother, where relatives are relatives, where brothers are brothers."

The fat man looked at Qin Shuhuai motionlessly, and sized him up carefully.

Qin Shuhuai walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't look at it, just go into the room and talk."

After entering the dark room, Qin Shuhuai took out the leader's token.

Fatty was shocked, he knelt down with a thud, and hurriedly said, "Chu Dahai, a disciple of the Chengdu sub-rudder, pays homage to the leader. The leader was unable to meet him when he arrived, please forgive me."

"Get up." Qin Shuhuai said, "Chu Dahai, how is the blacksmith's business?"

"Reporting to the leader, dragging the leader's blessings, you can still make a living." Chu Dahai was sweating nervously, poured a glass of boiled water in a hurry, and handed it to Qin Shuhuai in a hurry, "Teacher, drink water. I don't have any tea here. You make do with it, make do with it and drink."

Qin Shuhuai put the water aside and said, "Chu Dahai, sit down."

"Don't dare, it's better to stand, it's better to stand, hehe..."

"Okay then. I came to you to ask you something."

"Master, please speak."

"Cao Guozhang from Sichuan wants to stand on his own. Do you know about this in Chengdu?"

Chu Dahai nodded quickly, and said, "A few days ago, the envoy sent someone to tell us to collect news from Chengdu. But the envoy didn't say that the leader will come in person. If we knew, we should go to greet the leader. .”

Qin Shuhuai thought that Hua Chen's actions were indeed swift enough, and he might have sent someone to spread the news when he had just told him that Zhou Yanru was going to enter Sichuan.

Said, "It's okay. I want to know the situation in Chengdu now. When you go to the city tomorrow, I will find the helmsman of the Chengdu sub-rudder. I will ask you personally."

Chu Dahai responded immediately, "Don't worry, Master, I will go to the city early tomorrow morning, and let Master Qi come to find you."

After a pause, he said again, "By the way, where do you stay at night, Master? My, my place is too dilapidated. How about I find you a good inn, the best inn in our town."

"No need, I will live in Room A of Tianzi in Shunyuan Inn, when the time comes, you can come directly to me."

"Subordinates obey."

After Qin Shuhuai explained, he returned to the inn.

Chu Dahai rubbed his hands excitedly, watched Qin Shuhuai disappear into the street from a distance, and refused to go back to the shop.
