It was late at night, Zhizhou Dong Shizhen was holding a tea cup in his hand, frowning, above the guest seat, Zhao Xin, the head of the Ministry of War, was full of resentment and described, "Master Zhizhou, you have to decide this matter. Hyogo transferred those weapons, you were present, and the lower official said that this matter was not handled according to the court's laws, and nothing happened. If someone really pursues it, this matter will be troublesome. Now the surname Chu pointed the finger at the lower official, if the weapons cannot be returned to the warehouse within three days, the chair under the lower official's buttocks will be taken away by him, maybe even the head will be paid to him."

"Master Zhao, be safe and don't be impatient." Dong Shizhen said earnestly: "Have you already consulted General Dongfang about this matter?"

"The official immediately went to find General Dongfang, but General Dongfang was very happy. He just asked me to tell the surname Chu that I want to bring back the equipment and go directly to him." Xin Zhao said helplessly: "Chu Huan This side forces the lower officials to get back the equipment, but General Dongfang is obviously unwilling to hand over the equipment, and the lower officials are caught in the middle, which is really a dilemma...!" He said with a pleading look: "Master Zhizhou, the lower officials really don't have The only way is to ask you for advice."

Dong Shizhen shook his head and said, "What does Mr. Zhao want me to do about this matter?"

"Lord Dong, you can't say that." Xin Zhao immediately said: "At that time, you said that even if a new official was really transferred, you would not dare to investigate the matter too much. Now the one surnamed Chu has been caught. For this matter, you should know that he has a golden sword bestowed by the Holy One in his hand, and the golden sword came out of its sheath and cut on the lower official, so it can be cut first and played later."

Dong Shizhen put down the teacup, spread his hands and said, "Master Zhao, you should be able to see that Chu Huan came to Xiguan for us from the very beginning. Now that you, Master Zhao, have the handle in his hands, he will naturally This matter is very difficult, although Chu Huan's power is not very good now, but he is the governor of Xiguan appointed by the court after all, and he holds the imperial golden sword in his hand, so it is really difficult to deal with...!" Sighing, He shook his head and said, "It is indeed a violation of the court's law to mobilize the Hyogo ordnance, and now you have only two options."

"Which two ways?"

"The first way is to convince General Dongfang to send back the military equipment that he used in the past." Dong Shizhen said in a low voice: "Actually, the military equipment that was delivered last time is still in the barracks, and the box has not even been opened. , as long as General Dongfang let go, the equipment will be transported back, and this matter will be over." After a pause, he said with a smile: "Master Zhao, you are also from the army, and General Dongfang was also a fierce soldier under Governor Zhu's command back then. General, the righteousness of the same robe, Mr. Zhao is in a difficult situation now, I think General Dongfang will still help you out."

"Help me out of the siege?" Xin Zhao asked with a fake smile, "Master Dong really thought he would help me out of the siege?"

Dong Shizhen smiled and said: "As far as I know, Master Zhao and General Dongfang were enlisted in the army together, and later they were valued by Governor Zhu together. If I remember correctly, I heard rumors that Master Zhao and General Dongfang once sworn brothers... ...It's just that General Dongfang has made meritorious service many times later, so...!" He waved his hand and said with an embarrassed smile: "That's all, it's all in the past, but I think the friendship between the two should not be shallow. It is said that General Dongfang also contributed a lot.”

Xin Zhao's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but said: "If it wasn't for the 3000 taels, would you think Dongfang Xin would speak for me?" As soon as the words came out, he was a little embarrassed, and his expression was a little wrong.

Dong Shizhen smiled knowingly, and said in a low voice: "Master Zhao, there is actually a sentence that is stuck in my heart, I don't know if I should say it or not...!"

Xin Zhao frowned, "What does Lord Zhizhou want to say?"

"If I really want to say it, I'm afraid Mr. Zhao will misunderstand that Dong is suspected of sowing discord." Dong Shizhen sighed, "But in all honesty, Dong has always felt that when it comes to marching and fighting, Mr. Zhao may not be among the generals of the East. Next...!" It seemed that it was not good to say this, so he waved his hand and said, "That's all, I'm just talking nonsense...!"

Xin Zhao stretched his eyebrows, and said, "Lord Dong, you are really overrated... But then again, the chances given by Governor Zhu were few in the past, if you give the same chance to the lower officials, the achievements of the lower officials may not be the same. It will be lower than the East...!" Laughed twice, but didn't continue, as if he was very interested in this topic.

Dong Shizhen looked solemn, and said: "I'm afraid that's true. In fact, in life, sometimes even if you are full of ambitions, but you don't have the opportunity to display them, that's just... Well, Dong feels that the most regrettable thing in this world is that heroes are useless." Land of martial arts."

"What does Mr. Dong mean?" Zhao Xin heard Dong Shizhen's words, and couldn't help but move his chair, approaching Dong Shizhen.

Dong Shizhen shook his head with a smile and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing. Oh, yes, I mean, General Dongfang and Master Zhao have old friends. Now that Chu Huan is aggressive and Master Zhao is in deep trouble, General Dongfang should still help. Master Zhao Then go and have a good talk with General Dongfang and send the batch of equipment back to the military storehouse. In this way, it will be easier for Chu Huan to deal with, and Mr. Zhao can turn the crisis into safety." Fu Xu smiled and said: "People are living Yes, the equipment is dead. General Dongfang probably wouldn’t put Master Zhao’s safety at risk for some equipment... and Master Zhao agreed to transfer the equipment from the arsenal to the barracks, which was already a big risk. General Dongfang has a lot of face, now that something has happened, General Dongfang will not let Mr. Zhao take care of it all by himself?"

Xin Zhao immediately sneered and said, "If that makes sense, why did you come here to look for Master Dong? After coming out of Chu Huan, I went straight to Dongfang Xin. , And why didn't I mention the old friendship in the past, I almost didn't kneel down to him, hum, I, Xin Zhao, still remember the old friendship, but the general Dongfang can't remember it, there is only one sentence over and over again, the equipment transferred from Hyogo After entering the Pingxi barracks, it is the equipment of the Pingxi army. If Chu Huan wants it, he can get it by himself... But our Ministry of War is a yamen under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion. Although Chu Huan can't control Dongfangxin obviously, he is Our immediate boss, he left the matter to me, obviously because he didn't come forward...!" Clenching his fists, he said angrily: "Master Dong, the first way you mentioned is no longer feasible, Dongfangxin It is absolutely not prepared to hand over the equipment."

Dong Shizhen frowned, leaned closer to Xin Zhao, and said in a low voice, "General Dongfang is really so unkind?"

Xin Zhao also approached, and said in a low voice: "You think Dongfang Xin is a loyal guy? I joined the army with him at the beginning and worshiped the leader. Later, he was promoted all the way, arrogant, and gradually alienated from me. This time, Governor Zhu I was sponsoring officials from Xiguan, thinking that Dongfangxin had an old friend with me after all, and his words still had some weight with Governor Zhu, so I approached him and hoped to help me talk...!" After looking around, I was satisfied. Shi said angrily: "It's good for me. At the beginning, I pretended that Governor Zhu already had a candidate. He couldn't talk too much about personnel affairs. Later, he beat around the bush and offered 3000 taels...!"

Dong Shizhen narrowed his eyes.

"3000 taels of silver, that's not a small amount." Zhao Xin sighed: "Xiliang retreated and led a team of troops to conquer several county towns. It was hard to save some taels of silver, but in the end, it was not enough for the price he offered. , I really can’t do anything about it, I still owe a lot of money outside….” Waving his hand, the angry person said with infinite emotion: “I understand now that the world is cold and cold, and all the fucking loyalty is fake... Forget it, Master Dong, didn’t you say there is a second way to go? Please enlighten me.”

Dong Shizhen shook his head and sighed: "The first way is impossible, but Mr. Zhao definitely doesn't want to take the second way, but... in the current situation, there is only the second way."

"My lord, please enlighten me!"

"Thirty-six strategies, the best policy is to go." Dong Shizhen said: "Master Zhao is sandwiched between Chu Huan and Dongfangxin, and he is in a dilemma. This Chu Huan is not a good person. He has his eyes on Master Zhao. If Master Zhao really can't give him An explanation, he will definitely use this matter to punish Master Zhao severely, better, dismissal is indispensable, if the situation is worse, as Master Zhao himself said, maybe...!" He glanced at Xin Zhao's neck After a glance, he didn't continue, but Xin Zhao felt a chill in his neck and understood Dong Shizhen's meaning.

"In this case, it's better to go." Dong Shizhen picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and said slowly: "Didn't Chu Huan give Master Zhao three days? Three days is enough for Master Zhao to leave here. The city defense of Quancheng is our people. Mr. Zhao left with his family and found a hidden place to live temporarily. As soon as you leave, Chu Huan can only find Dongfangxin by himself. You don’t have to, Mr. Zhao, for the rest of the matter. Caring, saving your life is the most important thing.”

Xin Zhao asked anxiously, "You mean, let me leave everything behind and leave like this?"

Dong Shizhen sighed: "Could Mr. Zhao have other methods?"

"I've worked so hard for so many years, and I owe a lot of money just to get this position." Xin Zhao said unwillingly, "Leaving quietly like this, leaving everything behind, I... I'm not reconciled...!"

Dong Shizhen nodded and said: "Master Zhao's mood, Dong can understand, but what else can he do?" Shaking his head, he smiled bitterly and said: "If General Dongfang talked about the old friendship a little bit, Mr. This time will turn the crisis into a safe place, but...Since General Dongfang does not let go of the equipment, Mr. Zhao has no other way out. The surnamed Chu looks kind, but he is a ruthless guy in his heart. If Mr. Zhao does not protect himself, the consequences... ...!" He didn't continue, but the stern expression said everything.
