Xiao Heng said solemnly: "Chu Du is wise!"

Chu Huan asked with a smile: "Young Master Xiao came here this time to explain this matter?" Touching his chin, he smiled and said: "Actually, there is no need to go all this way to explain this matter. We are all officers and soldiers. Xiao Du is the senior of Ben Du. When he first arrived in the northwest, he was taken care of by Xiao Du. Ben Du has always remembered it in his heart. Mr. Xiao, after you go back, just tell Xiao Du that we don’t need to pay attention to those gossips. Xiguan and Beishan are both Allegiance to the imperial court, lips and teeth depend on each other, and this governor will not misunderstand Xiao Du in the slightest."

Hearing this, Xiao Heng showed joy on his face, but he was full of doubts in his heart. He didn't know whether Chu Huan's words were true or not. Confused Beishan, Chu Huan was so reasonable and polite, but Xiao Heng felt that Chu Huan's mind was not that simple.

"Chu Du is right." Xiao Heng said with a smile: "In addition to explaining this matter, there is actually one more thing. I have to inform Chu Du after my uncle's entrustment."

"Oh?" Chu Huan smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Xiao Heng hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Actually, my uncle asked me to remind Governor Chu to be careful of Zhu Lingyue. If there is no accident in Jin He's rebellion, Zhu Lingyue should be behind it!"

Chu Huan's eyes flicked across the cold and stern look, and Xiao Heng saw it clearly, but the stern look was fleeting. Xiao Heng knew that Chu Huan was deliberately covering it up, but he heard Chu Huan already said with a smile: " There is no evidence, and we can't say that, we are all ministers of the same court, so we shouldn't be too suspicious!"

Xiao Heng hurriedly said: "What the governor said is true." But he was planning in his heart. The three heroes in the Northwest are making great efforts, which has become a reality, but the strategy of Xiguan has not yet been determined yet.

The eavesdropping words just now showed that Xiguan also has deep hostility towards Zhu Lingyue of Tianshan, but it also has hostility towards Beishan. Xiao Heng knows very well that this is a critical moment. Xiguan All the officials are obviously planning to use Beishan as the main opponent first. Once Xiguan decides on this strategy, it will naturally be a great disadvantage to Beishan. [

He knew that Chu Huan's mind had not yet been settled, and he must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity today to divert misfortune from the west. Changing Xiguan is at least to change Chu Huan's strategic psychology, so that Chu Huan can eliminate his hostility towards Beishan, so as to change the strategy. Aim at Zhu Lingyue in Tianshan Mountain.

Xiao Heng knew that if he could really change Chu Huan's mind this time, it would not only be of great benefit to Beishan, but also immeasurably beneficial to his position in Beishan. Treat yourself badly.

He made up his mind and said, "However, Governor Chu is benevolent and does not speculate on others with the worst thoughts. Governor Chu regards Zhu Lingyue as a colleague, but Zhu Lingyue may not see Governor Chu in the same way."

Chu Huan frowned slightly, and asked, "Why did Mr. Xiao say that?"

Xiao Heng smiled wryly and said: "Chu Du, you are broad-minded, benevolent and wise. There are some things I can't say, but Chu Du treats me with benevolence and righteousness, and doesn't look down on Xiao Heng's humble official position. Xiao Heng is grateful in his heart. There are some words... !” After hesitating for a moment, his eyes showed firmness, he got up and moved closer, and said in a low voice: “Chu Du, to tell you the truth, just when Jinhe Erzhou was in chaos, Zhu Lingyue sent I went to Beishan secretly, and the secret envoy went to see my uncle. At that time, only my uncle and I were present, so only my uncle and I knew about that matter. Originally, I absolutely could not disclose this matter, but... Chu Du treated it with sincerity I, Xiao Heng, feel that it is still necessary to speak to Chu Du."

Chu Huan showed curiosity, and asked: "What is Mr. Xiao talking about?" Then he said: "If it is indeed inconvenient to disclose, Mr. Xiao does not have to force it."

Xiao Heng sighed: "Zhu Lingyue sent a secret envoy to form an alliance with his uncle. Beishan and Tianshan joined forces to deal with Chu Du, but his uncle refused. Uncle knows very well that Chu Du is benevolent and generous, and Zhu Lingyue is a vicious wolf who eats people and does not spit out bones. He will never join forces with Zhu Lingyue to deal with Chu Du."

Chu Huan's face darkened, his expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Young Master Xiao, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense!"

"Chu Du, if there is a single word of lie, it will be struck by thunder." Xiao Heng vowed, then looked up at the top of his head, thinking to himself that it was a sunny day outside, so there should be no thunder.

Chu Huan was silent, and after a while, he smiled coldly.

Seeing this, Xiao Heng secretly rejoiced. He already understood that what he said had made Chu Huan even more resentful toward Zhu Lingyue, so he added fuel and jealousy: "Chu Du, just because Zhu Lingyue plotted against Chu Du behind his back, Xiao Heng reminded me, Chu Du must beware of Zhu Lingyue." Then he smiled and said: "By the way, uncle has prepared some small gifts to congratulate Chu Du on his triumphant return...!"

Chu Huan immediately laughed and said, "How dare you...!"

"It should be." Xiao Heng said: "But I am anxious to see Chu Du. When we left, Bo Li was still preparing, and it will be delivered soon...!"

Chu Huan wondered: "What kind of gift? It takes so much effort to prepare."

Xiao Heng smiled and said: "It's just some ordinary things. Uncle knows that Chu Du is a real person, and he doesn't necessarily take gold, silver and jewelry seriously, so what he prepares are some ordinary things, some food, and some horses. By the way, uncle once Promised to Du Du Chu that he would prepare some farm tools for Du Du Chu from Beishan, so that they could be used for farming. This matter has been in the process of raising money, and the eldest brother will personally handle it...!" Explained with a smile: "Brother is Uncle's eldest son, uncle entrusted him to handle this matter, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter!" [

"Is it Xiao Du's eldest son?" Chu Huan wondered: "Xiao Gongzi calls him big brother, so is the eldest son older than the youngest son?"

"Exactly." Xiao Heng said, "Brother is already over thirty!"

Chu Huan was surprised and said: "The governor has met Mrs. Xiao, and she looks like she is just in her early thirties. Could it be...!"

Xiao Heng hurriedly explained: "Chu Governor misunderstood, the eldest brother was not born to the current aunt, and the uncle's original spouse passed away more than ten years ago, this is a sequel...!"

Chu Huan let out an "oh" and said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Well, Xiao Du kept his promise, this small gift... If this governor refuses, it will be hypocritical...!"

Seeing the look of joy in Chu Huan's eyes, Xiao Heng heaved a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard Chu Huan ask: "Mr. Xiao said that Duo Xiao wants to give horses?"

"Exactly!"

"But I don't know how many horses Xiao Du wants to give?" Chu Huan asked with a smile.

Xiao Heng is also shrewd and understands in his heart that Chu Huan specially emphasized this point, so naturally he is very concerned about it. Hearing Chu Huan ask this question, Xiao Heng felt a little bit of joy in his heart. He already knew that Chu Huan was probably in the Weighing the value of it, if Beishan really paid a certain price, then Xiguan might give up the idea of ​​attacking Beishan.

Xiao Heng hurriedly said: "Chu Du also knows that there are not many horses in Beishan, but since uncle makes a move, he can't be shabby, and he picked hundreds of horses...!" Before he finished speaking, he saw Chu Huan's eyes. The original radiance disappeared in an instant, and with a look of uninterestedness, he smiled lightly and said, "Oh? Hundreds of horses?"

Xiao Heng's heart sank, knowing that Chu Huan was obviously very dissatisfied with this, he hurriedly said: "Well, the exact number is really unclear, it seems that there are... hundreds of horses...!"

Chu Huan sighed: "Mr. Xiao, you are sincere to this governor, and this governor will not hide it from you. Jinhe Erzhou rebelled, and this governor also feels that there is someone behind it. Anyway, Xiguan cannot be left alone. The slaughtered lamb, the governor rebuilt the imperial guards, in fact, to prevent people from spying on Xiguan... In the Northwest Plain, if there is no cavalry that is good enough, it is really difficult to resist foreign enemies, so the governor has been worrying about horses recently Son...!" At this point, he finally waved his hands and said with a smile: "Forget it, I won't talk about these troublesome things."

Xiao Heng said: "Chu Governor works hard day and night for Xiguan, so he must take care of himself."

"After Mr. Xiao went back, he thanked Mr. Xiao on behalf of the governor." Chu Huan got up, "The governor still has some official duties, so I can't accompany Mr. Xiao. Why don't I arrange someone to entertain Mr. Xiao?"

Xiao Heng really had no idea, and he didn't know exactly what Chu Huan was thinking, but Chu Huan had obviously issued an order to evict the guest, so he couldn't stay any longer, so he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Don't dare, you don't need to trouble Chu Du, I have my own arrangements." , Xiao Du has official duties, so he dare not disturb me, so I will take my leave first."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "The governor will send the young master out." He took Xiao Heng out of the courtyard, and ordered a servant to lead Xiao Heng out of the mansion. There was a slender figure, it was Yinxiang, and she looked at it from a distance. Yinxiang obviously saw Xiao Heng, a little shy, and was about to dodge, but saw Xiao Heng made a few movements, which clearly meant to wait Follow Yinxiang to find him, but Yinxiang leaves in a hurry without saying a word.

Xiao Heng left the Governor's Mansion and went back to the Xinglong Inn. There were several subordinates who came with him here, and they didn't dare to ask more questions. Xiao Heng just ordered them to wait in front of the inn, described Yinxiang's appearance, and ordered If you see Yinxiang coming, you will secretly bring it upstairs.

He is still very confident in his appearance and demeanor, thinking that Yinxiang is just a lowly maid, and he has already put so much thought into it, Yinxiang may not be unmoved.

It's just that he wasn't sure whether Yinxiang really came back. Thinking of Chu Huan's unsteady mind, he really couldn't guess what Chu Huan was thinking for a while. He took out the red handkerchief from his bosom, put it on the end of his nose, greedily sucked the scent on the red handkerchief, his face was full of intoxication.

He wobbled on the bed, held the red handkerchief in his palm, stuck it to his nose, smelled the fragrance of the red handkerchief, and fell asleep in a daze. After an unknown amount of time, he heard a knock on the door, Xiao Heng was quite vigilant, and immediately stood up, put the red handkerchief in his arms, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

"My lord, the girl you mentioned has already been brought!" A subordinate's voice came from outside.
