Qiao Mingtang smiled lightly, and said: "Since we want to get rid of him, we must plan carefully. If Feng Polu is not dead, the people of Xishan will suffer sooner or later. No matter what, I will not be lenient."

Wei Tianqing picked up the wine bowl, raised his head and drank it all, and said, "Has your lord already planned an action plan?"

Qiao Mingtang hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "It is true that the method of action has been designed, but...Feng Polu's martial arts are not weak, but very powerful. The killer who gives him the final blow must not only have strong martial arts , and...be loyal to me."

Wei Tianqing smiled and said: "My lord, Wei's martial arts may not be very high, but there is absolutely no problem with his loyalty to your lord."

Qiao Mingtang said solemnly: "Tianqing, are you agreeing to take action to eliminate the enemy?"

"Here's a humble job, waiting to die." Wei Tianqing said with a smile: "If you can still serve your lord before you die, then of course Wei has nothing to say. The lord's kindness to Wei over the years, Wei has never There is a way to repay, and this time I just take this opportunity to repay the kindness your lord has shown me."

Qiao Mingtang sighed: "I knew you wouldn't let me down."

"My lord, what should I do? Just tell me." Wei Tianqing said solemnly: "As long as he can help your lord get rid of Feng Polu, Wei Tianqing will go through fire and water, and he will do whatever he wants."

Qiao Mingtang stretched out his hand, grabbed Wei Tianqing's wrist, and said emotionally: "Tianqing, if this is done, the people of Xishan will escape disaster. On behalf of millions of people in Xishan, I would like to thank you here."

Mrs. Qiao was preoccupied all day, Qiao Mingtang was going to visit Wei Tianqing in prison, Mrs. Qiao was quite happy at first, she only thought that Qiao Mingtang was thinking about his long-term relationship with Wei Tianqing, so she went visit.

She personally cooked a few delicate dishes, and only hoped that after Qiao Mingtang met Wei Tianqing, he would even be able to make a deal and release Wei Tianqing from prison.

Wei Tianqing is a heroic man, although he is a member of the government, but he has a chivalrous spirit in his bones, and Mrs. Qiao admires the loyalty of the Jianghu.

The most important thing is that when Wei Tianqing and Chu Huan were in danger in Jingjiang, they jointly protected everyone from the catastrophe. Mrs. Qiao was grateful to Chu Huan, but she was also very grateful to Wei Tianqing. Although Wei Tianqing protected herself It's a matter of duty, but Mrs. Qiao always feels that she owes Wei Tianqing a favor.

This time Wei Tianqing was imprisoned in misfortune, Mrs. Qiao pleaded with Qiao Mingtang many times, but Qiao Mingtang was unmoved, and Mrs. Qiao was very unhappy about this.

After Qiao Mingtang left today, Mrs. Qiao thought about it carefully and felt that something was a little strange.

She has been married to Qiao Mingtang for many years, and Qiao Mingtang has taken good care of her, but Mrs. Qiao also knows in her heart that Qiao Mingtang is very powerful, and when he really wants to do things, he is a decisive person, even a bit ruthless.

Previously, Qiao Mingtang obviously wanted to use Wei Tianqing as a scapegoat, and even his repeated persuasion was useless, but today he went uncharacteristically, not only went to visit Wei Tianqing in person, but also asked him to cook a few side dishes, Mrs. Qiao always felt that It won't be simple. Based on her understanding of the person next to her pillow, Qiao Mingtang is afraid that she has some thoughts that cannot be treated by outsiders.

She just wanted to ask Qiao Mingtang when he came back, but Qiao Mingtang didn't come back from noon until it was dark, and Qiao Mingtang didn't return to the mansion until after the garrison hour when the lights were on.

Mrs. Qiao didn't need to ask him if he had dinner, just by the smell of alcohol in his mouth, he knew that he had already eaten outside.

As always, Mrs. Qiao helped Qiao Mingtang wash and wash himself up, changed into clean and light clothes, and then asked, "Where did the master drink wine today?"

Qiao Mingtang's complexion was obviously much better than in the morning, he took Mrs. Qiao's hand, sat down beside the bed, and said with a smile, "I went to Quanjusheng, and had a light meal there by the way."

Mrs. Qiao frowned and said, "Quanjusheng is the largest restaurant in our Yunshan Mansion. What are you doing there?"

However, Qiao Mingtang waved his hand and said: "Drink a few more glasses, I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest, let's talk about other things later." After finishing speaking, he wanted to drag Mrs. Qiao to lie down.

However, Mrs. Qiao held Qiao Mingtang back, "Master, if you don't tell me, I won't sleep peacefully all night. You...you tell me what's going on, or else...or I won't comply." You!" She was acting coquettishly, although she was over thirty, she was still coquettish and charming when she acted coquettishly.

Qiao Mingtang laughed, then lowered his voice and said, "I'm going to treat guests at Quanjusheng!"

"A treat?" Madam Qiao asked curiously, "Who do you want to invite?"

Qiao Mingtang smiled faintly, "After Feng Polu came to Xishan, I haven't greeted him. I haven't summoned the generals of the four barbarian cavalry tribes either. I should always do my best as a landlord."

Mrs. Qiao was even more surprised: "You...you want to invite them?"

Seeing Mrs. Qiao's astonished face, Qiao Mingtang said with a smile: "Enemies should be married rather than joined. We are all ministers of the same dynasty. We can't keep fighting tit for tat like this. We should find an opportunity to ease the relationship."

Mrs. Qiao's watery eyes turned slightly, and she immediately said: "No, master, you...you definitely don't sincerely want to reconcile with them."

Qiao Mingtang hastily pressed Mrs. Qiao's plump red lips, and said in a low voice, "Madam, don't make such a loud voice."

"You want to reconcile, why are you afraid that people will hear it?" Mrs. Qiao sat next to Qiao Mingtang and said in a low voice: "Master, is it related to this banquet that you went to find Wei Tianqing today?"

Qiao Mingtang sighed, and said, "Madam is too smart, so there will be more troubles."

"If you keep me in the dark, I'll be even more restless." Mrs. Qiao sighed quietly: "Master, at this time, don't hide anything from me, I worry day and night...!"

Qiao Mingtang knew that Mrs. Qiao had been quite frightened recently, so he held Mrs. Qiao's hand and said softly, "Don't think about it, don't worry, the matter will be resolved soon, after the banquet, everything will be fine, I promise you No more fear."

"Master, then tell me, this time... what do you want to do this time?" Mrs. Qiao put one hand on her plump chest, "My heart is beating non-stop these days, and I always feel that there is something wrong. Things are going to happen."

Qiao Mingtang hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: "I tell you, but you must not be in a hurry, let alone leak a word to the outside world, otherwise...the consequences will be disastrous."

Mrs. Qiao nodded slightly.

Qiao Mingtang showed a stern look on his face, lowered his voice and said with a sneer: "If Feng Polu is not eliminated, I am worried that sooner or later there will be a big change in Yunshan, and... I am afraid that the chaos will fall into his hands."

Mrs. Qiao frowned and said: "He is hostile to the master, I can see it, if there is a chance, he will definitely be against the master."

Qiao Mingtang nodded slightly, "So I have to act first."

"It's better to strike first?" Mrs. Qiao was startled, but then she understood, and said in horror, "Master, don't tell me... do you want to take advantage of the banquet...!"

Qiao Mingtang nodded slightly, and said with a sneer, "This is the only chance now."

"Master, this... this is too risky." Mrs. Qiao's beautiful face paled slightly, and her already snowy and tender face looked a little pale at this moment, "He is a general sent by the imperial court, and he has excellent martial arts skills. , there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under your hand...not to mention that it is impossible for you to kill him, even if...even if you can kill him, you can't do it. If he dies, the court... ... How could the imperial court let you go."

Thinking that the banquet was held to assassinate Feng Polu, which was extremely dangerous, Mrs. Qiao felt even more uneasy.

Qiao Mingtang smiled confidently: "Madam, don't worry, Feng Polu's death has nothing to do with me, and there will be no evidence afterwards to prove that I did it. Even if the court really suspected me, but that At that time, the control of Xishan was in my hands, and the imperial court still relied on me to block the Northwest Army, let alone dare to take action against me lightly."

Mrs. Qiao asked doubtfully, "Isn't it related to you?"

Qiao Mingtang whispered: "I've already made arrangements...!"

Mrs. Qiao understood a little at this time, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, you go to the prison to visit Wei Tianqing, do you want him to...!"

"I've already said what needs to be said." Qiao Mingtang said in a low voice: "Madam, don't ask any more questions. This matter concerns the future of us and the entire Xishan, and there must be no word leaked."

Mrs. Qiao has been by Qiao Mingtang's side for many years, and she is quite clear about many ways in the officialdom. She already understood it in her heart, and said with a wry smile: "The master wants Wei Tianqing to do it, and it's fine if he succeeds, but if he misses, not only Wei Tianqing Tianqing can't live, and the master will never get rid of the relationship, after all, Wei Tianqing has been with you for many years...!"

Qiao Mingtang said indifferently: "But he was sent to prison by me, and I have dismissed him from his official position, so he has nothing to do with me."

Mrs. Qiao was about to speak, when an anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Master, Master, Master Xiao, please see me!"

Qiao Mingtang frowned first, then thought of something, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said loudly, "Let him wait for a while."

Mrs. Qiao asked urgently, "It's so late, what is he doing here?"

"Of course there is something urgent." Qiao Mingtang had already got up and dressed, Madam Qiao stepped forward to help, after getting dressed, Qiao Mingtang said: "Madam, rest first, don't wait for me." He went out.

When we arrived at the lobby, Xiao Moyun, the head of the Ministry of War, had already been waiting. When he saw Qiao Mingtang, he hurried forward, with an anxious expression on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "My lord...!"

"It's so late, what's the rush?" Qiao Mingtang sat down, "What can't be discussed tomorrow, it must be at this time."

"My lord, something serious is wrong." Xiao Moyun looked solemn, "Something happened in the big prison."

"Great prison?"

"Exactly." Xiao Moyun bowed his body, "We just heard the news that Wei Tianqing... Wei Tianqing escaped from the prison...!"

Qiao Mingtang's face darkened, "What? Wei Tianqing... ran away?"

Xiao Moyun said with a gloomy face: "When the jailer in the cell was patrolling at night, he discovered that in his cell, the jailer who delivered the food was knocked unconscious. When he found out, the clothes on his body were gone, and he was still in a coma. , and Wei Tianqing has disappeared."

"You mean, Wei Tianqing knocked the jailer unconscious and left the prison in disguise?" Qiao Mingtang frowned.

Xiao Moyun nodded and said: "From now on, it should be like this, and I don't know how he opened the iron lock of the prison door...!"

"He used to wander around in the rivers and lakes, and a lock can't lock him." Qiao Mingtang said with a cold face, "It's just that he went out in disguise. Didn't anyone find out?"

"It might have something to do with the weather." Xiao Moyun said: "When the meal was delivered, it was already dark...!"

Qiao Mingtang sneered and said: "I'm afraid that those jailers are also inseparable. Maybe no one is in collusion with Wei Tianqing...Less aside, send someone to search for it quickly. He knows everything well, and he must not be allowed to escape." Sighing, he blamed himself: "Master Xiao, you said a lot earlier, that Wei Tianqing's return in defeat really had another conspiracy. Blame me for not listening to you, I should have chopped him down long ago."
