At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 182
a long time.

"This condition - I agree." Cheng De's tone was extremely calm.

Li Shanchang, Lu Youbu and others looked at Cheng De in shock.

Xun Dao was also surprised by Cheng De's answer.

At the same time, Xun Dao thought in his heart that Cheng De, the general who conquered captives, seemed to have no idea about the north at present, which made Xun Dao feel relieved.

Originally, the lord faced the Yuan Dynasty's large-scale attack, which was already a headache. If Cheng De's forces also participated in the northern territory competition, I am afraid that it would be necessary to compete with Cheng De's forces.

According to the lord's idea, the main thing is that the Yuan Dynasty must be wiped out, and nothing else is important.

Thinking of this, Xun Dao felt a trace of regret in his heart. He always felt that a person like the lord is not a qualified hero, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve great things in the future.

However, since he has been recognized as the lord, this road can only go all the way to the dark.

Therefore, Xun Dao hurriedly said: "General Zhenglu, please rest assured that my lord will not have any plans for the south within three years. At the same time, I have no idea about the general ruling the territory."

Cheng De didn't express any attitude towards these remarks, but asked indifferently: "Is the gentleman prepared for the agreement?"

Xun Dao then said: "General Zhenglu, this gentleman has already prepared the agreement document. The ministers have prepared two copies in total, one for General Zhenglu and one for my lord."

After all, Xun Dao took out two gentlemen's agreement documents from his arms.

Li Shanchang walked to Xun Dao, took the two gentlemen's agreement documents from Xun Dao, and then sent the documents to Cheng De.

After Cheng De read it, he asked someone to take a pen and signed his name on the two gentlemen's agreement documents.

Afterwards, Xun Dao said: "This time, the foreign ministers were sent to Sizhou City. In order to express our goodwill and sincerity, my lord presented General Zhenglu with [-] horses and ten boxes of gold and silver jewelry. These things are all in Sizhou. Outside the city, General Zhenglu can send people to receive these things. If there is no problem, the foreign ministers will return directly to Yingzhou."

Cheng De nodded: "Fang Ming, you will accompany the emissary on a trip to transport ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry to the treasury of the General's Mansion. As for the ten thousand horses, Deng Youde will go to receive them and take them with you." Back to the barracks."

Fang Ming and Deng Youde said in unison: "Follow the order!"

Xun Dao bowed politely to Cheng De, then stepped out of the conference hall, followed by Fang Ming and Deng Youde.

After watching Xun Dao and the others leave the conference hall, Cheng De swept the courtiers in the next circle: "The battle to attack Jinling City is very important, and all the officials in charge of this battle are well prepared. In addition, the rest of the ministries are here During the period, everyone must perform their duties, and they must not neglect their duties. If a case is found, it must be severely punished, and it should not be said that it was unexpected."

"Yes!" Everyone present bowed and replied.

Seeing this, Cheng De felt a little uneasy, and immediately felt relieved.

Immediately, Cheng De left the meeting hall.

Not long after Cheng De walked out of the meeting hall, he who wanted to go to the study, but stopped and turned to the Sizhou City Street.

Behind Cheng De were Guo Ying, Hu Dahai, Li Wenzhong, Chen Ting and his group, and even further behind was Jin Yiwei in ordinary clothes.

Cheng De listened to the commotion on the street, and when he looked around, there was a sea of ​​people on the street.

Unknowingly, Cheng De came to a restaurant - Gaoji Restaurant.

"Guo Ying, is this new?" Cheng De turned to Guo Ying and asked.

Guo Ying nodded: "Uncle Hu opened it before. Recently, Uncle Hu's wife fell ill, so he sold the place. Now the restaurant is run by Gao Wen and his wife."

Cheng De: "How is the craftsmanship better than Uncle Hu?"

Guo Ying's eyes were a little hesitant: "Everyone has its own merits."

Cheng De's eyes lit up: "It's almost noon now, I won't go back to the mansion to eat at this noon, I'll eat here. Guo Ying, you send someone back to the mansion to talk to your wife, just say that I'm outside To deal with some things, I won’t go back to eat at noon.”

Guo Ying's gaze turned to Li Wenzhong.

Cheng De followed Guo Ying's gaze to look at Li Wenzhong.

When Cheng De saw that Li Wenzhong was recording something in a bound booklet with a brush, his eyes were a little puzzled, and Cheng De gave Guo Ying a look.

When Li Wenzhong was not paying attention, Guo Ying snatched the document and handed it to Cheng De.

When Cheng De was about to read this document, unexpectedly, Li Wenzhong said: "Father, return this thing to me."

Seeing that Li Wenzhong's face was a little red, Cheng De was even more puzzled. He opened the document and saw that it read:

On August 28, the adoptive father finished his discussion and turned to Sizhou Street. He suddenly saw a restaurant and was overjoyed.How about Guo Ying's restaurant?Guo Ying replied: "Good."After the adoptive father heard about it, he was even more delighted, and wanted to stay in this restaurant to eat, and asked Guo Ying to send someone to tell the adoptive mother that he was out busy with business and had no time to go back home to eat.From this point of view, the adoptive father does not like the food the adoptive mother cooks, and he does not hesitate to tell lies
When Cheng De saw that there was no more text after the word '言', his face darkened immediately, and he looked at Li Wenzhong with an unkind expression: "Li Wenzhong, tell me carefully, why are you memorizing these things? Do you want to provoke the relationship between me and your stepmother?"

Li Wenzhong lowered his head and replied: "I have always wanted to give my step-mother something. However, I asked my step-mother, and she can say anything. So I wanted to write down everything I saw and heard. When the time comes Giving it to the stepmother is like passing the time for the stepmother."

Hearing this, Cheng De stared at Li Wenzhong in a daze, and after a while, he said, "You should write down what you see and hear. remember."

Under Cheng De's gaze, Li Wenzhong nodded heavily: "Father, the child knows."

Cheng De patted Li Wenzhong's head, then folded what Li Wenzhong just recorded in the file, and put it on his chest.

Later, Cheng De walked into the restaurant first.

Not long after walking in, a middle-aged man with a smiling face walked up to him: "Guest officer, sit inside."

Cheng De was very surprised when he saw this man with an extraordinary temperament in front of him.

It was hard for him to imagine that such a person would be an ordinary servant.

However, the middle-aged man's eyes were a little excited, why?
This is the first time Cheng De has seen this middle-aged man, and he finds it difficult to understand the middle-aged man's expression.

Cheng De suppressed this doubt in his heart, and did not show the slightest expression on his face.

Led by the middle-aged man, Cheng De and his party came to the window in the inner room.

After Cheng De sat down, he looked at the other people in the restaurant.

The other people in the restaurant were talking, but when they saw Cheng De and his party coming in, they couldn't help but stop talking, and they all shrank their necks to look at Cheng De, secretly guessing who it was The big shot is here?
Cheng De ignored them, but said to the middle-aged man: "Serve one of the best meals here, and bring the best wine."

The middle-aged man showed some joy in his eyes: "Guest officer, wait a moment, I will prepare now."

Cheng De looked at Guo Ying, Hu Dahai, Chen Ting, and Li Wenzhong: "You all sit down, how can you let me eat properly when you stand like this?"

Guo Ying, Hu Dahai, Chen Ting, and Li Wenzhong looked at each other, and then sat down on Cheng De's left and right, with their bodies straightened and their eyes fixed.

Seeing this, Cheng De felt a little helpless.

Afterwards, Cheng De ignored him and just looked around silently.

It didn't take long.

A person walked into the restaurant.

Cheng De looked over inadvertently, and found that this person turned out to be a woman, but she was now dressed as a man.

However, Cheng De knew at a glance that she was a woman.

One is that there is no Adam's apple, and the other is that the walking posture is quite awkward.

Cheng De looked at it, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself: Interesting!
The woman who walked in looked around, eyes full of surprise.

However, when she suddenly saw a young man staring at her at a table, she couldn't help frowning.

When she saw the young man laughing, she couldn't help but moved in front of him.

"I want you to apologize to me!"

Cheng De smiled even more when he heard the man dressed as a man say this to him so confidently.

And this angered the woman, she turned her brows coldly at Cheng De: "Hmph, apprentice!"

A trace of joking appeared on the corner of Cheng De's mouth: "You are a man, is it appropriate for you to say such things to me? Even if I am blind, I will not fall in love with a man."

The anger in the woman's heart suddenly stagnated, and she looked at Cheng De blankly.

Seeing this, Cheng De said, "Girl, do your parents know about your outfit?"

The woman was startled, with disbelief on her face: "How did you see that? Ah, no. What nonsense are you talking about? This young master is a man of seven feet, why should you humiliate me?"

Cheng De looked at the woman with a half-smile: "Really?"

The woman's eyes were a little flustered, and she was secretly annoyed that she had a bad start the first time and was directly seen by others.

However, she has already done it perfectly, how did this person see it?
Even the voice, she imitated the male voice.

In order to hide the panic in her heart, the woman replied directly: "Your Excellency, if you say so again, I am angry. I still have a place in Sizhou City. Even Cheng De, the general who conquered the captives, will give me some points." face."

Cheng De couldn't help frowning: "I have dealt with General Zhenglu a lot, but I've never heard of someone like you."

The woman's eyes widened and she looked at Cheng De: "You really are"

The performance of the woman in front of him made Cheng De believe even more that what the woman said just now was just a bluff in his own name.

Cheng De ignored the woman's expression, but continued: "Speaking of which, I have a very close friendship with General Zhenglu. As his friend, when I see a person threatening others under his guise, what do you think I should do?" Okay? Since I encountered this incident today, as a friend, it’s natural to fight against injustice. Don’t you think so?”

The woman panicked even more and was about to run away.

Cheng De gave Guo Ying a look, and Guo Ying immediately ran up to the woman and grabbed her by the shoulders, immobilizing her.

The woman kept shouting: "Come on, someone is molesting!"

At this time, the woman's voice instantly switched to a female voice.

This scene instantly caught the attention of everyone in the restaurant, and they turned to here one after another.

Some people were about to help out, and they glared at Cheng De and his party.

Cheng De didn't pay attention to other people's eyes, but said lightly: "I am Cheng De, the general of the Sizhou army who conquered captives. This person is swindling and cheating in my name. Now I have caught him, and there are all witnesses. Do not mistake yourself for such a liar."

After all, Hu Dahai, Chen Ting, and Li Wenzhong stood up from their seats one after another. They stood on the left and right sides of Cheng De, quickly drew out the long knives hanging from their waists, and scanned the group of people who were about to attack with sharp eyes.

Then, Jin Yiwei who was not far away seemed to have noticed this scene, and rushed into the wine shop one after another, protecting Cheng De in the middle, looking warily at the group of people surrounding them.

For a while, the number of Cheng De's side has reached dozens of people, and each of them is holding a knife.

This scene made those present who wanted to do something hesitate. At this moment, some fear flashed in their eyes.

"General Zhenglu, the grassroots don't know about it, and I hope General Zhenglu won't blame me and the grassroots!" Those who wanted to make a move directly knelt down to Cheng De.

Cheng De looked at these people with a gentle smile on his face: "Those who don't know are not to blame, you all get up!"

These kneeling people were extremely anxious at first, but they were relieved a lot when they heard Cheng De's words.

"General Zhenglu really has a lot of adults, I admire you!"

Cheng De followed the voice and found that it was the middle-aged man who welcomed him into the restaurant just now.

Cheng De narrowed his eyes slightly to this person: "Are you Gao Wen?"

The middle-aged man was stunned: "Reporting to General Zhenglu, I am indeed Gao Wen."

Cheng De looked at Gao Wen and said, "What's your relationship with Tuotuo?"

Gao Wen's expression was calm, but he was taken aback in his heart.

"General Zhenglu was joking. I'm just a humble person, so how could he have anything to do with Tutuo, Prime Minister You Tuotuo of the Yuan Dynasty?"

Cheng De did not believe Gao Wen's words.

He just remembered that Zhang Qijiu had mentioned that Gao Wen was from the northern metropolis in the information files he had sorted out.Other than that, nothing else is known.

Moreover, after a comprehensive analysis, Zhang Qijiu marked Gao Wen as a suspected spy in the document.

Originally, Cheng De just wanted to defraud Gao Wen, but unexpectedly, he actually defrauded him.

When this person was answering his question just now, his gaze was a little dodgy. Although it disappeared in a flash, he was caught by him. This is enough.

Cheng De turned around and said coldly: "Take it!"

Gao Wen's complexion changed, and he tried his best to keep calm: "General Zhenglu, the grassroots have heard how benevolent you are, but looking at it today, you are absurdly ridiculous! I am a kind person, and Zhenglu General Lu doesn't know right and wrong, but wants to attack me, a grassroots person, isn't it too indiscriminate between right and wrong?"

Cheng De didn't look at Gao Wen, but replied unhurriedly: "A good person never advertises himself as a good person, and a kind person doesn't go around saying that he is a kind person. Originally, I was only [-]% sure that you are a spy." , now, I am [-]% sure that you are a spy. Capture Gao Wen immediately!"

When Hu Dahai and Chen Ting heard the words, they drew their swords and rushed towards Gao Wen.

Gao Wen's complexion changed drastically, and he rushed directly into the crowd, wanting to take the opportunity to escape.

Cheng De's gaze remained unmoved.

Just as Gao Wen ran out of the wine shop, he stopped in time and took a deep breath.

Gawain looked at the bows and arrows surrounding him, and couldn't help feeling chills.

At this time, Hu Dahai and Chen Ting directly placed the long knives in their hands on Gao Wen's neck.

Gao Wen looked slumped, he turned his head slightly, and looked at General Zhenglu: "I don't think I have exposed any clues, I want to ask General Zhenglu, how are you sure that I am sent by the prime minister?"

Cheng De said lightly: "It's just a hunch."

"Instinct? Haha, so it is! But, Cheng De, don't be too happy. There are many people sent by the prime minister to assassinate you, and I'm just one of them." Gao Wen suddenly laughed like crazy.

next moment.

Gao Wen sent the long knife around his neck to the left, Hu Dahai was about to stop him, but he didn't react, his expression changed involuntarily.

A deep and long gash on Gawain's neck directly killed Gawain on the spot.

This scene severely touched the hearts of everyone present.

Especially those who have not got up in time while kneeling, their throats are throbbing, the corners of their mouths are dry, their heads are lowered and they dare not raise their heads, feeling uneasy in their hearts.

Cheng De looked at the people present and said, "Don't spread the matter today. There are still people kneeling, you can leave."

After finishing speaking, Cheng De looked at the woman disguised as a man, and said to Guo Ying, "Take her back to the General's Mansion and let Madam deal with it."

The woman looked at Cheng De blankly at this time, her eyes were a little complicated.

Guo Ying: "Yes."

Cheng De immediately got up and left, and when he reached the door, he waved to the soldiers of the Sizhou Army surrounding the restaurant: "You all retreat!"

As soon as the words fell, these Sizhou Army soldiers left quickly after saluting Cheng De.

Cheng De looked back at Gao Wen: "Hu Dahai, send someone to bury his body."

Hu Dahai nodded.

Cheng De walked away from here, ready to return to the General's Mansion, as for the interest in continuing to stroll, he had no interest at all.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Cheng De went straight into the study.

In the study, Cheng De saw Zhang Qijiu and Gong Bosui.

Seeing that it was Cheng De, Zhang Qijiu and Gong Bosui each got up and bowed respectfully to Cheng De: "My subordinates pay respects to the general!"

Cheng De's gaze stayed on Zhang Qijiu: "Zhang Qijiu, I'm entrusting you with an important task now."

Zhang Qijiu raised his head to look at Cheng De with a serious face.

Cheng De: "Just now, I met the assassin who was sent by Prime Minister You Tuotuo of Zhongshu Province of the Yuan Dynasty to assassinate me."

Speaking of this, Cheng De stopped in time, Gong Bosui's expression was shocked, but Zhang Qijiu's expression changed drastically, and he felt a little uneasy.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. You have done a good job, but this kind of thing is impossible to prevent. I want you to find out who is the assassin sent by Tuotuo within Sizhou City? After finding out , Control them all. In addition, all the servants in the general's mansion must be checked several times, especially those who have entered the general's mansion recently, must be strictly investigated."

"Also, from now on, the servants who will be with Madam or Yan'er and the others must thoroughly investigate them. There must be no room for any suspiciousness. If there is any suspiciousness, they will never be hired."

Zhang Qijiu replied solemnly: "Don't worry, general, my subordinates will strictly investigate all suspicious people in Sizhou City."

Cheng De nodded: "I'm at ease when you do something. You can do it yourself now."

Zhang Qijiu nodded and left in a hurry.

Cheng De looked at Gong Bosui: "Gong Canjun, you were in charge of the plan to make the Yuan Dynasty fight internally, how is it going now?"

Gong Bo then replied: "General, this matter has already been arranged by my subordinates. At present, my subordinates are waiting for the news from Dadu. Please rest assured, the Yuan Dynasty court is in turmoil, and maybe it will be troublesome after a while." The whole world knows."

Cheng De looked at Gong Bosui with satisfaction: "Yes. You have to follow this matter."

"Yes." Gong Bo replied.

Afterwards, Cheng De and Gong Bosui dealt with affairs in the study, and the meals were brought by Ma Xiuying, and they ate in the study.
