After Cao Bao left, Zhang Ye and Mr. Xia Hou resumed their pattern of mowing grass and chatting.
Zhang He asked Mr. Xiahou: "Who are these five people?"
Mr. Xiahou said: "When we come to eat at night, these five people are the farthest and bravest."
Zhang Noi asked: "You have nothing to do with the Tang family?"
Mr. Xiahou said: "I don't know. But you want to summon the brave, so you enter the ear!"
Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, then realized it and said with a smile: "It's true!"
Mr. Xia Hou said: "Although it does not involve a certain family, a certain family must be known, not just the Tang family. But you can know it by observing its changes!"
Zhang Ye asked: "How do you know this?"
Mr. Xiahou said: "Sir, the Tang family or his family came in with a chariot driver. Why did you come?"
Zhang Ye was silent for a moment, then said sadly: "The people we have traveled along the way are nothing but swordsmen, assassins, and the like. What's your intention?"
Mr. Xiahou said: "If it is as you said, what do they want now?"
Zhang Ye said: "You have to get close to the upper body and then go back!"
Mr. Xiahou said: "It's just as you said. If Mr. Biao is waiting for something to come to the top, how about any five of them?"
Zhang Ye said: "No, opportunities are rare and easy to lose. If you lose them, they will never come back. Therefore, you must get the stronghold first!"
Mr. Xiahou said: "If this is the case, there must be a stronghold close by! Just wait for him!"
Zhang He said: "Sir, when can I wait for you?"
Mr. Xia Hou said: "Far away is the sunrise, close is the present."
Zhang Ye said: "Why is it so forced?"
Mr. Xia Hou said: "There will be changes at dawn, so we must be urgent!"
Zhang Ye said: "If the plan is so urgent, how can we follow the original plan?"
Mr. Xia Hou said: "If one plan fails, another plan will be created, and it requires five kinds of help. It must be difficult. If there is a gap, it is better not to take advantage of it!"
Zhang Ye asked: "What's the difficulty?"
Mr. Xiahou said: "First, shoot it on the way. This must be carefully planned and done perfectly. However, your Majesty went out all night, and the moonlight was dim, and hit the passenger car by mistake. Second, use the swordsman to greet it." The Tao is hidden deep in the city and revolves around the curtains. It cannot be achieved unless it is arranged for a long time. Fortunately, with the help of God, Mr. Zheng stepped forward and the king was not injured. This covers the third part. At that time, the king was deep in the army. Hiding is as safe as a mountain, how can it be accomplished with the support of all the guests! If you try to succeed with generous rewards and punishments, you will definitely do it!"
Zhang He said: "Who is this? Who would put the emperor to death and then come back!"
Mr. Xiahou said: "During the day, we all thought that this matter was over. The tree wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop. This person's well-established plan was defeated by the king, but he did not give up and made three more plans in a hurry. However, this plan was carelessly planned, but it was planned among the people. If the king is not secretive, his ministers will be lost, and if the ministers are not secretive, they will lose their virginity. If several things are not kept secret, it will cause harm. If the plan is planned among the people, how can it be done secretly, and the harm will be done. We are right When meritorious deeds are made.”
While he was talking, a soft voice came from his ear: "How to perform meritorious service?" They were so surprised that they jumped up together. When they looked back, they saw Lord Xinling dressed as a gentleman. Then he felt relieved and said politely: "Your Majesty has returned from patrolling the camp, but the ministers and others don't know about it and can't go out to greet him."
Lord Xinling said: "I thought Mr. Xiahou must have some great opinions, so I came here in a hurry!"
Mr. Xiahou said: "Your Majesty is laughing!"
Lord Xinling said: "What do you two gentlemen have to say? The moon is bright and the wind is clear here, which is more refreshing than in the hall. I am not guilty of disturbing your leisure, sir!"
The two said: "How dare you!"
Lord Xinling then picked up the water jar and filled it with water for Mr. Xiahou. Mr. Xiahou pounded the pestle and chopped grass, and the three of them talked while working.
Zhang He said: "Mr. Xiahou found fifty drivers, including more than ten people from the Tang family..."
At this point, Lord Xinling said "Hmm". Seeing that Zhang Ye had stopped speaking, he didn't say anything more and just motioned for Zhang Ye to continue.
Zhang Ye said: "I believe that there may be three or five sects among our partners, and more than ten people must be suspicious."
Lord Xinling said: "Maybe the Tang family has a large car dealership in Xingyang City, or the Lu family..." Halfway through, he consciously stopped talking.
Zhang Ye consciously added: "If it is as expected by your Majesty, if there are carriages in Xingyang City, and there are more than ten carriages, they must not be unknown or without roots. However, the officials of the Tang family in Xingyang have not heard of them before, so they must be New arrival. As for how the Lu family got to know the Tang family..." At this point, Zhang Noi stopped and looked at each other with Mr. Xiahou. The two nodded deeply and looked at Lord Xinling together. Lord Xinling was silent for a while and said decisively: "Sir, please make your own decision!"
After a brief chat, a few people chatted for a while and then returned to the main topic. Zhang Ye continued: "Mr. Xiahou expected that these people would come for your Majesty."
Lord Xinling was silent for a while, and then asked: "What's the matter?"
Mr. Xia Hou said: "It's nothing more than the sound of crossbows and the shadow of swords."
Lord Xinling said: "The crossbow is a Han crossbow and the sword is a Qin sword, both of which are not from Liang. How did Qin and Han know my whereabouts here? Why do you gentlemen have to stay within Xiao Qiang!"
Zhang Ye and Mr. Xiahou looked at each other again and said hesitantly: "The Qin and Han Dynasties do not know your whereabouts, so those who know must be within Xiao Qiang. If you don't know it well, you will never set such a trap. I hope your Majesty will think twice!" This was done in a hurry, in the moment of breathing; but the assassin had a clear eye for fire and planned his plan early. It is hard for me to avoid the blame for my failure to observe."
Lord Xinling said: "Sir, you have done something wrong. There is nothing to blame. I think privately that the swordsman ruined his appearance by himself, which is comparable to the righteous man Nie Zheng. If I cannot be polite to such a righteous man, it is because my virtue is weak; If you treat them with hostility, I won’t do anything.”
Zhang He said: "Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness are spread all over the world. Who doesn't know about it? These people are limited by small favors and ignore the great righteousness of the world..."
Lord Xinling stopped him and said, "Sir, please don't say any more. Benevolence and righteousness are inherent in the human heart, and we can't argue with them arbitrarily. But looking at the number of people who have been entrusted by others, they are loyal to others. When you are single among thousands of troops, it is like the palm of your hand. After being defeated, he destroyed his body and saved others without frowning. This is a man of great benevolence, great righteousness, great wisdom, and great bravery. Not only can I not get close to these people, but they have become their enemies. Have I lost something? I wish you, Sir Reprimand me for my mistakes so that Wuji can retreat and cultivate himself."
Mr. Xiahou said: "No ministers dare to know what your Majesty said about solidifying gold and stone. How can your Majesty have any plan to turn enemies into friends?"
Lord Xinling said: "As long as a gentleman is upright, there is no other plan. I wish I could raise all the righteous men in the ground, talk on their knees, and sleep with their feet pressed together, so that I can avoid my mistakes."
While the three of them were talking, someone stepped in from the back door. The three of them looked up and saw that it was Cao Bao. Lord Xinling put down the urn in his hand and stood next to Zhang Yue; Zhang Yue stopped the stone sickle in his hand and stood up straight; while Mr. return?"
Cao Bao stopped and said, "It's a coincidence. When I returned to the hospital, I saw that Uncle Tang was still awake, so I told him about Lord Xinling's recruitment. Uncle Tang was very happy, so he directly invited me to meet you."
Mr. Xia Hou said: "It's late at night, how dare you bother Uncle Tang. Why don't you go back temporarily and come to ask for advice tomorrow!"
While he was talking, someone outside the door said: "Tang Wan, a common man, has been recommended by Uncle Cao. I would like to meet you gentlemen!"
Mr. Xiahou wanted to answer, but Lord Xinling behind him said: "I am so lucky to have Uncle Tang come here in person. I would not dare to ask for advice if I am not in this place. I dare to open the door and invite you to the hall."
The people outside the door laughed and said: "Uncle Cao and others are not in this place? Why are you so arrogant and bowing like this!"
Zhang Ye took over the words and said: "It's not what I was taught. Xiahou recommends Uncle Cao and others as chariot drivers; Uncle Cao recommends Uncle Tang as scholars. You have to respect them! Even Uncle Cao is also a scholar, and you can't go back to the backyard."
