Wei Tianqing was startled, and understood Qiao Mingtang's meaning, he was going to let himself take the position of the Guards Army.

"My lord, even if Luo Shiheng is down, the position of the Commander of the Guards Army...!" Wei Tianqing frowned, knowing very clearly that the position of the Commander of the Guards Army is a big piece of fat, how many people are staring at him, It is extremely difficult to eat this piece of fat.

Qiao Mingtang said indifferently: "Luo Shiheng was recommended by the King of Han at the beginning, but now that something happened to him, even if he can't bite the King of Han, the prestige of the King of Han will definitely suffer, even if he wants to recommend another person, the Crown Prince will use Luo Shiheng's assassination incident to block it. As long as the prince is willing to recommend you, you are at least [-]% sure that you will be able to take the position of commander."

Wei Tianqing stood up and cupped his hands, "It all depends on the cultivation of the adults."

Qiao Mingtang smiled and waved his hands, motioning Wei Tianqing to sit down, frowned slightly, showing a hint of doubt, and said, "Although the King of Han is a high-profile man, he has always been low-key in his work. I can't figure out why he came here this time. Luo Shiheng assassinated King Qi."

Wei Tianqing said softly: "My lord, do you think Luo Shiheng must have been ordered by the King of Han?"

"Although I can't be sure, there are seven or eight out of ten that's the case." Qiao Mingtang said slowly.

Wei Tianqing frowned and said, "Could it be that in the eyes of King Han, King Qi has already become his opponent?"

"King Qi has no power in the court and the opposition, but he has a great advantage." Qiao Mingtang said slowly: "The Holy Majesty loves him, and this is an advantage that King Han can't match." After a pause, he calmly said: "You But don’t forget that King Qi still has Xu Congyang by his side, and the Holy Majesty can still listen to Xu Congyang’s words. Today’s King Qi may not be strong enough to fight against King Han, but who can guarantee that King Qi will be like this in the future What about weak strength?"

Wei Tianqing nodded slightly and said, "Your Excellency, you mean that the King of Han wants to take precautions? Before the King of Qi becomes successful, it is better to strike first?"

Qiao Mingtang said lightly: "It's common sense, but it's just our speculation." After a pause, he stroked his beard and said, "If the king of Qi is really killed this time without anyone noticing, then that's fine, it's just Since he missed this time, it is estimated that the King of Han will not be at ease now."

"If the King of Qi doesn't say anything, he must hate the King of Han in his heart." Wei Tianqing said in a low voice: "In this way, the King of Han will have an enemy of the King of Qi, which will be of great benefit to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Qiao Mingtang shook his head and said, "Just looking at today's situation, the King of Qi won't break skin with the King of Han... At least Xu Congyang won't let King Qi's anger show."

"Oh?"

"I originally wanted to use King Qi's hand to pry something out of Luo Shiheng's mouth. Even if Xu Congyang made the move, as long as he can get some evidence against the King of Han from Luo Shiheng's mouth, it will be of great benefit to the prince." Qiao Mingtang sighed He breathed a sigh of relief: "But Xu Congyang, an old fox, pretended to be stupid and didn't continue the interrogation, and even threw the case into the hands of the official... He wanted to avoid crimes and let King Qi withdraw from this whirlpool. "

Wei Tianqing said: "Xu Congyang is a scheming man, and they say he is upright, but now it seems that he has lost his courage. King Qi was assassinated, but as the king's teacher of King Qi, he can bear this tone."

Qiao Mingtang said solemnly: "A man who can bend and stretch, this is the real man. I also thought earlier that King Qi was young and vigorous, so he would definitely not be willing to be wronged. He would definitely find out the truth from Luo Shiheng. His confession, the confession that King Qi tried must be believed by the Holy Majesty." Then he shook his head and sighed: "After all, Xu Congyang was the one who pulled King Qi out of the vortex calmly, and in the end the matter still fell on me."

"What does your lord mean...Xu Congyang and King Qi won't pay any attention to this matter?" Wei Tianqing frowned.

Qiao Mingtang pondered for a while, and said: "I guess it would be so. In the past year, the sage spent more than half of the year in seclusion and meditation. The crown prince took care of the affairs of the court, and the King of Han assisted the government. With so many followers, even His Royal Highness may not be as powerful as him, Xu Congyang will not fail to see this, he naturally does not want King Qi and King Han to be enemies... at least not at this time." Then immediately He waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, Tian Qing, how is the arrangement of the bait?"

Wei Tianqing calmed down, and immediately said: "My lord, don't worry, the article on the execution of the punishment has been posted five days ago, and two days later, I will go to Caishikou, West Street, to ask for the execution."

"This time, there must be no mistakes." Qiao Mingtang said solemnly: "If you can lure the rebels to come here this time, and catch them all in one go, I will mark the merits on you. In this way, the crown prince will be in front of the Holy One. I recommend you to be the commander of the Xishan Daowei Army." He reached out and patted Wei Tianqing's arm, and said earnestly: "Tianqing, I have high hopes for you, don't let me down!"

Wei Tianqing solemnly said: "My lord is kind, even if the last general dies, he can't repay the accident!"

Qiao Mingtang smiled, and suddenly thought of something again, and said, "That Chu Huan... King Qi is going to be transferred to be his bodyguard."

Wei Tianqing said solemnly: "This time King Qi escaped danger, Chu Huan made a great contribution, and he was not surprised to be favored by King Qi. But after this incident, it can be seen that Chu Huan is indeed a rare talent. It would be a great pity if it was transferred to the side of King Qi and could not be used by adults."

Qiao Mingtang sighed: "I have heard that Chu Huan is not only excellent in martial arts, but also has a literary talent. It is said that Chu Huan, the former flower chief, won the first place in literature, which I did not expect. He is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs. It's just that the more this is the case, the more strange this official is, he is just from an ordinary farm family, how can he be so capable?"

Wei Tianqing said in a low voice: "The humble official has never been able to find out his whereabouts in the past few years. But he can protect King Qi, but he is also a loyal and brave person." After a pause, he asked: "My lord, do you really want to transfer him to Where is King Qi?"

"King Qi proposed in person, how can I refuse?" Qiao Mingtang shook his head and said: "You are right, if this person is a loyal and brave person, it is a pity that he can't be used by me." Leaning closer to Wei Tianqing, he said in a low voice: "Tianqing, this Chu Huan has a long-term friendship with you. Tell me...can you let him stay in Cao Ying and have a heart in Han?"

Wei Tianqing was stunned, then understood, and said in a low voice, "My lord, what do you mean?"

Qiao Mingtang said with a smile: "I have a treasure, you can give it to Chu Huan."

……

……

Chu Huan had already returned home at this time. After rushing back from Mao County non-stop, Chu Huan was in a body of iron, but he also felt exhausted. After returning home, without saying a word, he fell into a deep sleep.

He himself didn't know how long he had slept. He felt as if someone was pulling his clothes, and he was startled. He immediately reached out and said in a deep voice, "Who is it?" He had already grabbed the man's neck.

His hands were smooth and delicate, and he felt something was wrong, he took a look, but saw that his hand was pinching Su Niang's snow-white neck, but Su Niang was startled, her eyes widened, full of panic.

Chu Huan hurriedly let go, and said in a broken voice, "Sister Su Niang, why is it you?"

With some strength in his attack, he pinched a red mark on Su Niang's snow-white neck. Su Niang touched her neck and couldn't help but said: "Erlang, what are you going to do? Do you want to strangle me to death? "

Chu Huan scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Sister Su, I... I didn't know it was you, I thought someone would sneak up on me while I was sleeping...!"

"You've been a soldier for a while?" Su Niang felt the pain in her neck, and she didn't care that Chu Huan was an official, so she said angrily, "You slept well at home, someone would come here to attack you? Do you think that you are a high-ranking official, so that people will remember you?"

Chu Huan smiled awkwardly, and said softly, "Are... are you okay? It's my fault." When he woke up, he found that it was dark outside. It seemed that he had slept for a long time, but after resting, However, people became refreshed, and most of their energy and physical strength recovered.

Su Niang touched Xuebai's neck and gave him a supercilious look, obviously still angry in her heart.

"By the way, Sister Su Niang, you...how did you come into my room?" Chu Huan suddenly thought of something, and blurted out, "Are you pulling my clothes?" As soon as the words came out, he immediately regretted it.

Su Niang's cheeks flushed immediately, she turned her face away, and said, "Who...who tore your clothes?"

At this moment, Ru Lian came in lightly, saw Chu Huan sitting by the bed, and said happily, "Brother Chu, you're awake? This is great. I made Sister Su worry for a long time."

"Worried?" Chu Huan was taken aback.

Su Niang has already said angrily: "Little sister, don't talk nonsense, no one is worried about him."

Ru Lian was taken aback, and wondered: "Sister Su Niang, didn't you say you were going to ask for a doctor earlier? You also said that brother Chu should have nothing to do...!" She said it out of involuntary innocence.

Su Niang's pretty face flushed.

Chu Huan was also a little embarrassed, but there was a warm feeling in his heart. It seemed that when he was sleeping, Su Niang was worried. Suddenly, he saw that the clothes on his body were broken and there were several holes on the back of his hands. The scars that had condensed into a shell suddenly remembered that when he returned to Fucheng, after leaving Yingren, he went straight home and lay down to sleep without even taking a bath.

Tossing inside and outside Zhongyi Village, the clothes on his body have long been split, and there are even traces of dried blood, and when he was hiding in the bushes, many places on his body were punctured by thorns, and he just dealt with it casually afterwards Some of them fell asleep when they came back. In the eyes of Su Niang and the others, they naturally felt that something happened and they were worried.

Ru Lian suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Sister Su, the herbal medicine has been prepared, do you want to bring it?"

"What herbal medicine?" Chu Huan wondered.

Ru Lian hurriedly said: "Sister Su Niang saw that you were injured, so she used medicinal juice to heal your wound... You haven't woken up, we are all waiting, Sister Su Niang said that your back is bleeding, you can't Wait any longer, so we are going to undress you and apply medicine."

Chu Huan was taken aback, and then realized that Su Niang was tearing her clothes because she wanted to apply medicine to herself.

Su Niang glanced at Chu Huan, dissatisfied, and thought to herself: "My old lady kindly wanted to apply medicine for you, but you almost strangled me. If I had known this, I would have left you alone." Although she thought so, but seeing There was blood on Chu Huan's body, but he was still worried, and said: "Little sister, bring the medicine in and let him apply it by himself." Then he said: "That's the method that Daddy taught before, the scratches and scratches will heal soon , You...you try it yourself...." Twisting her waist, she said, "I'll cook."

Chu Huan stood up and said, "Sister Su, you were confused just now, you... didn't hurt you?"

Su Niang just said "hmm" without saying a word, she took two steps, she was curious after all, she couldn't help but turned her head and frowned and asked: "Where did you go? Why is there so much blood on your body?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "When performing official duties and encountering wild beasts, it is the blood of wild beasts."

Although Su Niang was simple, she was not stupid, so she naturally didn't believe it. She knew that Chu Huan didn't want to say anything, so she didn't ask any more questions, but Chu Huan turned her back and said, "Look at my back, is there any injury?"

At this moment, he also felt a bit spicy on his back, and Rulian couldn't help but said: "Amitabha, brother Chu, the clothes on your back are all torn and bleeding."

Chu Huan's back was scratched by thorns, and as soon as he moved, blood came out of those small cuts again, Su Niang saw that she couldn't bear it, and said anxiously: "Little sister, go and get the medicine. "
