Kowloon wins

Chapter 80 Conspiracy and counter-conspiracy ([-])

After the clerk left, the burly man didn't intend to communicate with others, so he just stood upright in the lobby, although he didn't say a word, but it gave the store clerks an indescribable feeling of depression, originally laughing The sound of the voice disappeared unconsciously, and the hall was filled with dead silence.

"Guest officer, please come inside."

The guy who went to report the letter went quickly and came back quickly. After a while, he trotted out from the back hall, holding the jade pendant in both hands, and handed it to the strong man respectfully, with a touch of flattery. with a smile.

"It's work."

The strong man took the jade pendant very carefully, and put it in his arms cautiously. Then he clasped his fists and thanked him very politely. He followed the guy behind and walked slowly into the back hall , all the way through the halls and alleys, to the deepest part of the "Kirin Firm".

"Guest officer, please!"

When he got the door of a side room, the man stopped cautiously, and didn't push the door to enter. He just bowed and waved his hand, letting the strong man into the room.

"The last general, Geng Sanbiao, kowtows to the prince, and kowtows to the little prince!"

The brawny man was obviously a little impatient at this moment, he ignored the waiter's hospitality, just nodded slightly, then stretched out his hand, pushed open the half-hidden door, and walked into the room, waiting to see Hong Qing was Standing beside a white-clothed young man, the strong man's body couldn't help but startled, he hesitated obviously, but he reacted quickly, but seeing him rushing towards him quickly, he hurriedly took off the bamboo hat Put it down, put it beside him, and then respectfully paid homage to him incessantly.

"Have you seen the king?"

The third master came here in secret this time, and his sole purpose was to investigate Geng Sanbiao, so he strictly ordered not to disclose the news in advance, but Hongqing sent someone to call Geng Sanbiao to the "Kirin Firm" to meet him, but Unexpectedly, Geng Sanbiao recognized his identity as soon as he came, which really made the third master quite curious.

"If you go back to the prince, the last general has never seen the prince face to face."

Geng Sanbiao kowtowed respectfully, and replied politely.

"Oh? Tell me, how did you know that this king is here?"

When the third master was in Beijing, he often went to the lower yamen to do errands under orders, and showed his face a lot. I thought Geng Sanbiao recognized himself through this way, but he didn't expect Geng Sanbiao to answer like this, which really made the third master Some of them are interested.

"My lord is clear, although the last general did not recognize the true face of the lord, who might make the little lord stand so respectfully, in this world, besides the lord, who else is there?"

In front of the third master, Geng Sanbiao naturally didn't dare to speak nonsense, so he just answered whatever he thought.

"Oh? Hahaha... Okay, Mr. Geng Qian is indeed a talent, get up and answer."

At this time of employing people, of course the third master should be careful. If Geng Sanbiao spouted nonsense and flattery, the third master would definitely beat Geng Sanbiao to death with a stick. After all, the nonsense of those charlatans sounds refreshing, but it is all nonsense. The third master never believed in that kind of nonsense. Seeing that Geng Sanbiao answered honestly, and his reasoning and logic skills are also good, he is naturally satisfied. Very, ha ha laughed loudly.

"Thank you, Lord Long!"

Naturally, Geng Sanbiao didn't know that his answer just now was the greatest success in his life. Although he was puzzled about the purpose of the third master's coming here, he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he just thanked him cleanly and stood with his hands down. Make a statement of respectful listening to instructions, and be as polite as you want.

"Mr. Geng Qian has been here for less than [-] days, can you resist him?"

The third master was obviously very satisfied with Geng Sanbiao's performance, he was not too polite, and he didn't say anything more to investigate, and got straight to the point.

"Returning to the prince, although the last general's time in office is short, the imperial servants can still provide encouragement. The whole battalion is full of 30 people. Among the ten people in total, except for two who are suspicious, the rest can follow the orders of the late general. , as long as the prince has an order, the general will swear to die to do it!"

Speaking of Yu Xia, Geng Sanbiao obviously has enough self-confidence, not for anything else, just because before he came to take office, Hongqing specially allocated 3000 taels of silver, just for Geng Sanbiao to buy the army's morale, precisely because of the money in his pocket Full of confidence, Geng Sanbiao has no scruples in spending money. In such a short period of ten days, he has already won most of the generals under his command, and even the officers and soldiers under him have also followed Geng Sanbiao. It's easy to get along, and it's probably hard to let these well-fed Qiu Bas do rebellious things, but Geng Sanbiao still has enough confidence to ask them to obey orders to do business for the third master. When he got up, he was extremely resolute.

"Okay, since Mr. Geng Qian can have such confidence, the king will feel relieved. If Mr. Geng Qian is invited to come here today, there is really something that requires Mr. Geng Qian's full cooperation. I wonder if Mr. Geng Qian will do it? "

Although the third master was very satisfied with Geng Sanbiao's performance, he did not give orders directly. After all, Geng Sanbiao was not his third master's man, but Hong Qing's subordinate, even though Hong Qing was his third master's son, but After all, it's separated by one floor, so you should be polite, but you still have to pay attention to it.

"The prince has an order, and the general will do his best in the end, so I ask the prince to follow the instructions!"

Regarding the third master's politeness, Geng Sanbiao did not have the slightest bit of ambiguity, and he responded very neatly, but before answering, Geng Sanbiao glanced at Hong Qing quickly, and after receiving Hong Qing's slight nod of the head , just expressed his opinion impassionedly.

"Well, that's good, Zicheng, tell Mr. Geng Qian about your action plan, and I'll discuss it later to make sure everything is safe."

Seeing that Geng Sanbiao answered so resolutely, the third master was very satisfied, so he stopped talking nonsense, waved his hand, and signaled Li Minquan who was standing beside him to come out, and explained the action plan in detail. Fan, and then everyone began to grind carefully around this plan...

"What's on your mind, Qing'er?"

If you want to do great things, you must be cautious, not to mention that this is still in someone else's home field. In such a situation where the enemy is outnumbered, even if you have the holy decree, you must not ignore it, but if you are not careful, it will overturn the nest Disaster, that's it, discussion and discussion, after a discussion, the time inevitably dragged on for a long time, after the agreement was reached, it was already dark, the third master and his son dared not delay any longer, taking advantage of the city Before the door was closed, he drove out of the city in an unmarked carriage. Only then did the excited third master realize that Hong Qing was not only silent when discussing matters before, but now also had a serious expression on his face. With a dignified look, curiosity couldn't help arousing, so he frowned slightly, and asked a question.

"Returning to the father, the child is just a little worried about Mingchen's actions."

Naturally, there was something on her mind, not only that, but also very deep. In the past few days, an ominous premonition had been circling in Hong Qing's heart, but after repeated deduction, she couldn't find the root of the problem. This is the reason why Hong Qing can't be relieved, but this kind of thinking is not for outsiders, so, facing her father's inquiry, Hong Qing can only respond vaguely.

"Well, being careful can make a ten-thousand-year ship. Tomorrow's First World War will affect the overall situation, and it is true that there is no room for loss. However, caution is necessary, but those who want to do big things, it is not necessary to look forward and backward. This one, Qing'er must keep in mind It's in the heart."

The third master himself is full of confidence in tomorrow's actions, and he is also quite looking forward to it, probably because it is the first time the third master is in charge of the overall situation, and he naturally does not hope for any mistakes. Seeing that Hongqing is a little bit confident Insufficient, I can't help but feel a little unhappy, of course, if Chao Hongqing had an outburst, it wouldn't be enough, but the meaning of the lesson in the words was so strong that it was not old or young.

Foresight?That's your usual performance, isn't it?Why did you put it on our head, don't you always feel that your face is hot and flustered?

Hearing the third master's comment on herself, Hong Qing really couldn't laugh or cry, but she didn't dare to refute, so she could only despise her father from the bottom of her heart, but she was very respectful in her mouth. Replied: "Father taught the lesson well, my child will remember it."

"Well, just remember, Huang Ama is waiting eagerly in Beijing. I'm waiting for tomorrow's battle. I can only succeed, not fail!"

Thinking of the big waves that will be caused by tomorrow's actions, the third master couldn't help but feel agitated for a while, and clenched his hands unconsciously, as if he was teaching Hong Qing, but also as if he was encouraging himself The earth expresses the determination to act.

"Father is wise."

The third master has confidence, which is a good thing, since Hong Qing can't say anything very discouraging at this time, so she can only praise and perfunctory, but her brain is running at high speed.

It shouldn't be a problem, even if the enemy is outnumbered, there should be no chance of any mistakes. As long as the granary can be controlled, no matter how capable the opponent is, there should be no chance of a comeback, unless they really dare Raising the flag to rebel, and this is obviously asking for a dead end. Although Master Shi is reckless, he is not a fool. He will definitely not do such a stupid thing. Besides, even if he dares, others may not be willing to follow him to a dead end. There should be nothing to worry about, but where will the problem arise?

Hong Qing ignored the ramblings from the third master, went through the action plan carefully, and even analyzed the other party's possible countermeasures, but couldn't figure out where the lingering shadow in her heart came from. Come on, when the deduction was messed up, I couldn't help but feel a little headache.

"My lord, it's not good, something happened!"

"Fire, fire!"

Just when Hong Qing was getting restless, there was a sudden commotion outside the carriage, which immediately woke Hong Qing up, but before Hong Qing realized what was going on, the third master suddenly He opened the curtain of the car and poked his head out.

"Why so flustered, huh?"

The third master has always been a man of good manners, when he heard that there was an unseemly quarrel outside, his expression was very ugly, and the tone of the question was full of chills.

"My lord, there is a fire shooting up to the sky from the direction of the Hecao yamen. It is suspected that the water has escaped."

As soon as the third master shouted and asked, the crowd didn't dare to make any more noise, they all fell silent, and let Heda come forward to report the matter.

"what?"

Hearing this, the third master couldn't help being startled, he didn't care to reprimand everyone, he quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Hecao yamen, and saw the raging flames, which made the night sky in the sky red, the third master His face darkened in an instant...
