I am the carpenter king

The nights in Chengdu are different from those in the capital. It is not as cold as the capital, which makes people feel that the night is not so scary.But it seems that because of the cloudy sky, the night feels a little depressing.

There are countless torches inserted on the city wall, and as the flames burn, there is not a crackling sound.In the room at the gate of the city, Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan, Lin Zai, the inspector of Sichuan, and Qin Liangyu, the envoy of Shizhu Xuanfu who had just arrived, were all sitting.

Zhu Xieyuan's face was very relaxed at this time, obviously not as nervous as before the war, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have eased a lot.Gently stroking his beard, Zhu Xieyuan said in a gentle tone: "Everyone, this is the way it is, what do you think?"

"Lord Zhu, how did this letter come about? Is it reliable? What if it is a conspiracy by the rebels? We cannot believe it lightly." Lin Zai, the inspector at the side, frowned, raised his eyebrows, and said hesitantly.

Lin Zai's tone of speech was not polite. He and Zhu Xieyuan had known each other for many years, and they were also very familiar friends.

Picking up the teacup on the table and taking a sip, Zhu Xieyuan showed a slightly intoxicated expression on his face.This good tea is not easy to find!Sighing in his heart, Zhu Xieyuan looked at Qin Liangyu who was on the side.

Although Zhu Xieyuan was born as a Jinshi, he looked down on foreigners, but Qin Liangyu was an exception.Qin Liangyu was originally a Han Chinese, and now he is appointed as the General Soldier of Sichuan, so his identity is naturally different.If he cared, Zhu Xieyuan might care a little about the identity of Qin Liangyu's woman.

Qin Liangyu, who was sitting on the side, naturally saw Zhu Xieyuan's gaze, and touched the handle of the knife at his waist with his right hand. Qin Liangyu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Lord Zhu, I don't have any thoughts about humble positions. It's all up to Master Zhu to decide."

Now the main force in the city is naturally Qin Liangyu's men.It's better to keep a low profile at this time, first listen to what Zhu Xieyuan has to say.After all, he would still be in Sichuan in the future, so Zhu Xieyuan naturally nodded without offending him.

Looking at Qin Liangyu admiringly, Zhu Xieyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled heartily.Putting down the teacup in his hand, Zhu Xieyuan said playfully: "Whatever happens when there is no way. We can all adjust accordingly." Zhu Xieyuan picked up a piece of paper on the table and said with disdain: "Extravagant Chongming is just A reckless man, what he does is nothing more than making people laugh. During the Three Kingdoms period, Jiang Gan stole books, although Zhu did not dare to compare himself to Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu can still do it this time."

Qin Liangyu's face remained unchanged at the side, and he took a sip from his teacup, but he was a little thirsty.Whether the tea is good or bad, Qin Liangyu has no feeling, but she prefers to drink.

Lin Zai, the procurator of Sichuan, looked at Zhu Xieyuan who was smiling all over his face.I couldn't help curling my lips, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing to learn to be Zhou Yu, don't end up becoming Lu Su."

Although the procuratorial envoy is lower than the chief envoy, there is a limit, and Lin Zai and Zhu Xieyuan are good friends of the whole family, so it is harmless to joke around.

Glaring at Lin Jae fiercely, Zhu Xieyuan blushed slightly and coughed a few times in embarrassment.I saw Qin Liangyu drinking tea there.As if he didn't notice this, Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help sighing in his heart.This General Qin is not only capable of fighting, but also has experience as an official!

After correcting his expression, Zhu Xieyuan's face became serious, he stretched out his hands and moved his black gauze, and said: "The matter is already like this, then send someone to contact this Luo Qianxiang! Anyway, this is not the case. It happens overnight. We are not in a hurry."

Facing Zhu Xieyuan, Qin Liangyu said respectfully, "It's up to the adults to decide."

Lin Zai seemed a little absent-minded, frowning slightly, and kept stroking the handle of the chair with his right hand, obviously thinking about something.He pondered for a long time.Lin Zai said in a solemn tone: "We regard Luo Qianxiang as Jiang Gan, but they may not regard us as Cao Cao. This matter requires a smart person." He raised his head and looked at Zhu Xieyuan, and asked hesitantly : "Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Smiling meaningfully, Zhu Xieyuan glanced at Lin Zai provocatively, and seeing his helpless expression, he said with color: "Let Zhou Sisheng do this matter!"

With a cold snort, Lin Zai stood up slowly, glanced at Zhu Xieyuan, and seemed to be talking to himself: "There is nothing for the old man in Chengdu, it seems that the old man can have a drink tonight .Fortunately, there are still two jars of 30-year-old Moutai at my old man’s place, so I should drink one jar tonight.”

Glancing at Zhu Xieyuan with a half-smile, Lin Zai's eyes flashed a few jokes, but he said with a serious face: "Lord Zhu, is there anything wrong? The old man wants to go back. His Royal Highness Shu Wang gave the old man a wild animal yesterday." , I’m going to go back and eat it today.”

At this moment, Zhu Xieyuan glared at Lin Jae, his face flushed, and he looked at Li Jae angrily, his lips trembling, unable to speak.

"My lord, I will resign for my humble position!" Qin Liangyu on the side knew that this was a joke between two adults, and he was not suitable to listen here, so he bowed respectfully and left.

Seeing that there were only two people left in the room, Zhu Xieyuan flicked his sleeve vigorously, said with trembling lips: "Old guy, did you do it on purpose?"

Looking at Zhu Xieyuan with a face of surprise, Lin Zai said innocently: "Where does your lord say that?"Zhu Xieyuan likes to drink very much. In the past 30 years, he has tried Maotai like Lin Zai several times, but he failed.

Gently stood up, swept the dust on the clothes, and straightened his black yarn.Zhu Xieyuan glanced at Lin Zai expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice, "Master Li, if you have something to do, go and do it!"

Lin Zai was taken aback for a moment, why did he suddenly become like this?Isn't this Zhu Xieyuan's style?

"I'm still here. I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a long time. I hope she cooks delicious game. Since Mr. Li won't leave, I'll go first!" Zhu Xieyuan looked at Li Zai with a smile , walked out with head held high.

Standing in the room, Li Zai was taken aback for a moment, but when he heard Zhu Xieyuan's words, he immediately understood what was going on. He wanted to go to his own house for dinner!Before he could say anything, Zhu Xieyuan had already gone out first, and Li Jae was the only one left in the room.He couldn't help flicking his sleeves vigorously, and said loudly: "You're really shameless!" But after speaking, he also laughed, and strode out.

Although Chengdu City was besieged, the hearts of the people in the city had stabilized. Ever since Qin Liangyu's troops entered the city, there was no longer much pressure on defense.Although the rebels attacked the city every day, they were still soft and without the slightest energy.

The Ming army in the city was not worried at all. Although the rebels outside the city seemed to be many, their combat power was extremely low.After the reinforcements arrive, they will definitely be able to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop.

"Father, Luo Qianxiang is here!" She Yin walked quickly into She Chongming's tent without saluting, and said with a smile on her face.

Behind She Yin was a man in his 40s, with animal skins around his body and a machete behind his back.He is also very tall, with knotted muscles in his arms, and he looks like a fierce general at first glance.

Nodding to the person coming, She Chongming's eyes flashed a look of disdain, he looked down on Luo Qianxiang in one thing, he was tall and tall, but he was pitifully timid.But she still needs to use this person, She Chongming naturally won't show it, while playing with the silver knife in his hand, he asked: "How is the matter going?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the matter is almost done. The letter has not been broken for the past three days, and the city of Chengdu has already believed it. They plan to send someone out of the city to meet me to discuss the details." Luo Qianxiang spoke in a thick voice, It makes people feel silly, plus he speaks very slowly and rarely moves his eyes, everyone thinks that Luo Qianxiang is dumbfounded.

Nodding slowly, both She Chongming and his son believed Luo Qianxiang's words, after all Luo Qianxiang was notoriously stupid.He is also loyal to his father and son, and has never had any other thoughts.In their view, Luo Qianxiang would not have other thoughts.

"Father, why don't you seize the city tonight. Since they sent people out of the city, we can let them go without returning. Then we will be their men, open the city gate by fraud, and take Chengdu down!" She Yin looked at Looking at She Chongming, his face was full of excitement, and the muscles on his face were trembling uncontrollably. He obviously felt that he had thought of a brilliant idea.

Luo Qianxiang on the side was expressionless, as if he didn't think about anything, just waiting for their orders.

Shaking his head with a serious face, She Chongming said in a deep voice: No, the possibility of the success of this plan is too small, and the Ming Dynasty people are much more cunning than us.Let's meet up first tonight and see what people from the Ming Dynasty say! "

For She Chongming's prudence, She Yin seemed quite disapproving, and sat on the side with a gloomy face, with a look of displeasure.

Glancing at Luo Qianxiang, She Chongming asked quite seriously: "You take someone to meet you tonight, and agree to anything first, and we will talk about the specific things. The king will send guards to follow you, Your safety is guaranteed, don't worry!"

"Thank you, my lord, it's nothing, I'll go back first!" Luo Qianxiang saluted the two of them, with gratitude on his face, and said respectfully.

Seeming to be very satisfied with Luo Qianxiang's performance, She Chongming nodded with a smile, and said briskly: "This time the matter is done, and the king will reward you with great rewards. Take this knife first!" He threw the silver knife in his hand to Luo Qianxiang.

Putting the knife in his hand, Luo Qianxiang patted his chest vigorously, and said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Luo Qianxiang will definitely be able to do it well!" After speaking, he turned and went out.

After walking out of the big tent, Luo Qianxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "A pair of idiots!" (To be continued...)
