Mr. Gong proposed the warning on the other side of the Jinshui River. The scope was too large and difficult to implement, so the discussion was not continued.
Mr. Guo hesitated several times, but still kept silent about the meeting with Mr. Hu Zhong that night: This kind of matter is too important, and no one here can bear it - even Mr. Meng Yu, who has the highest status, is only a professional team senior member rather than a member of the strategy team.
After roughly understanding the meaning of the "secret path", Mr. Guo roughly understood the possible process of a conspiracy: starting to let the three animals take the open path. At this time, any disrespect to the three animals may be amplified into a conflict between civilians and sacrificers. ; And to solve this contradiction is actually not complicated, just transport the three animals in the dead of night. Of course, if you go the bright way, the sensational effect will be stronger and the impact of the sacrifice will be greater; if you go the dark way, of course, it will always feel a bit secretive and not so upright.
The lieutenants got up and asked everyone to go to the front to prepare. This time, not only did the four sons of the city lord not take action, but no one else took action either. It was just the three lieutenants who were busy. Like magic, they took out all kinds of strange objects from various parts of the body and decorated the entire yard, focusing on the three wing rooms. Perhaps only Mr. Meng Yu could understand this whole set of arrangements, while everyone else looked at a loss.
After the courtyard was arranged, everyone exited. The lieutenant also drew a charm on the door and repeatedly warned not to rush into it. The city lord opened the east gate of the city but did not close it. The three lieutenants rode out of the city, and the others were waiting inside and outside the city gate.
Not long after, a lieutenant-general came back on horseback and said: "It's almost here, don't clean the street!" After saying this, he hurriedly left.
Four diners, including Mr. Guo, five county officials and a city lord, quickly dispersed to confirm that everyone around the east gate had fallen asleep and that the streets were empty.
Then, a team of 100 people drove into the city and quickly disappeared into the night, followed by three Anchai covered with green mantle. Next to each car, there was a lieutenant on horseback to accompany them. When the car arrived at the gate of the mansion, the three lieutenants jumped off their horses first, tied the horses in front of the door, stepped forward to open the gate, removed the threshold, and then drove into the mansion in a three-carriage, and the gate was closed.
When the motorcade arrived, everyone, under the guidance of Mr. Meng Yu, bowed to the ground and did not dare to raise their heads. When he heard the door closing, Mr. Meng said, "That's okay!" He rushed to the door and led the three horses to the stable to feed them.
A person appeared quietly behind Mr. Guo. Mr. Guo was startled. When he looked back, it was Zhang Noi. Mr. Guo was overjoyed and said: "Why are you here in person, Mr. Zhang? Your Majesty..."
Zhang He said: "Your Majesty is here at the same time as Wei, so there is no need for ministers and other guards to accompany you, so I am here first to help Mr. Guo."
Mr. Guo nodded excitedly, but was speechless. Zhang Ye said: "More than a hundred warriors are willing to settle them."
Mr. Guo quickly found the city lord and asked him to arrange accommodation for hundreds of people. According to the agreement, the city lord arranged these one hundred people in the houses around the city lord's palace to form a defensive force against the city lord's palace. By the time everything was arranged, it was almost dawn.
Zhang He asked the city lords and county officials who had not slept all night to rest first. Mr. Meng Yu had not arranged a place to stay after he arrived, so Mr. Guo asked him and Zheng Anping to go to his own place to rest first. Mr. Gong and Mr. Xiang consciously dispersed on the roadside, leaving only Zhang Noi and Mr. Guo sitting in front of the door.
Zhang Ye got to the point directly and said, "It was an accident that Mr. Hu Zhong met with Mr. Hu Zhong in Guan. Please tell me the details."
Mr. Guo said: "I was frightened and ran away the pig three, but kept him in his room. Gai pig three, a despicable person, how could he have the strength to slaughter the nine young masters? Your Majesty offered sacrifices, but he openly entered the city without anyone planning anything. I definitely didn't dare to do anything. That night, Mr. Hu Zhong came in through the window, so he stayed with me."
Zhang He said: "I heard that Mr. Hu Zhong is very brave and brave. It is impossible for Mr. Hu to capture him alone."
Mr. Guo said: "I am not the only one to do it. Guan Ling and the lieutenant are all cooperating with him. However, they do not know Mr. Hu Zhong, so they do not speak to him."
Zhang Ye asked: "What's its condition like?"
Mr. Guo said: "Time is urgent and I dare not approach him, but I would like to ask for advice on how to complete the sacrifice. He said that if Lord Xinling asks Wei Xiang to be his prime minister, he will be fine. He said that he does not dare to stay for a long time for fear of changes. Ye, after releasing him and leaving, he sent Ling and Wei to report to the king urgently."
Zhang Ye said: "Looking at it sir, does the city lord know Mr. Hu Zhong?"
Mr. Guo said: "Sir, you are indeed a great scholar. If I see what I see, the city lord will definitely know it, but he pretends not to know it. Although he is careful to conceal it, his shock can't be fully concealed."
Zhang Ye said: "The five corpses of the former were buried shallowly behind the city because of the war. I came to look for them the day before yesterday, but I didn't know where they ended up."
Mr. Guo said: "As time goes by, it may be difficult to keep it."
Zhang Ye said: "If you don't move to a different burial site and bury it in a different place, you will have to hide it."
Mr. Guo said: "Do you know who did it?"
Zhang He said: "I dare not inquire about the people in the city for fear of leaking their voices. I have secretly asked Cao Cheng to find an opportunity to inquire."
Mr. Guo said: "If Mr. Hu Zhong did it..."
Zhang He said: "When your Majesty entered the army, you were disturbed along the way. After entering the army, the assassins went straight into the tent. If you were not a general, how could you do this!"
Mr. Guo said: "Why does the general do this?"
Zhang He said: "But if Prime Minister Wei is the prime minister, then everything will be fine?"
Mr. Guo said: "Young Master Wei has won the favor of your family, and he has three thousand guests coming in and out of the palace. Who doesn't like him, who is his brother? Who does he depend on, his general?"
Zhang He said: "Long Yangjun is also not a kind person."
Mr. Guo said: "The king wants to use the emperor's head to oust all the old nobles and promote new ones. It can be expected. However, the people he uses, one general and one prime minister, are really unexpected. Mang's family, who is sending food to Wei, is not If someone is older than the king, why should the king appoint him? Wei Qi, the former king's old ministers, have little foundation, but they use caution and encouragement, how can the king use it? Lord Longyang, he is also a person who uses sex to serve others, especially for great use yeah?"
Zhang Ye said: "Three people used by the king, even though there was an accident, the king used them, and they actually worked for him. The king's knowledge of people is beyond reach; the king's plan is also hidden thousands of miles away!"
Mr. Guo said: "What is your order?"
Zhang He said: "Sir, I know it, but the matter involves the king, so I will stop it immediately. The king used three sons to cover up the secret plan of all the gentlemen."
Mr. Guo said: "What do you want, sir?"
Zhang He said: "Since Sir, I met Hu Zhong in Guan, it is not far away. Sir, maybe I can find his whereabouts?"
Mr. Guo said: "What I was confused about at the time was for the sacrifice in the future. Don't make any mistakes. Peace and the rest! Let's wait for the opportunity to observe it after the sacrifice."
Zhang Ye said: "Now that the sacrifices are over and the gods have returned to their places, what opportunities can they take advantage of!"
Mr. Guo said: "Sir, must you have some strategy for offering sacrifices?"
Zhang Noi shook his head and said: "It's really impossible!"
Mr. Guo said: "Opening up territory and expanding territory is not an easy task. Things have to be prioritized, and plans have to be done in sequence. Consolidating the territory is what is urgent, so do it first. The rest will come later."
Zhang Ye said: "The former also put war first, so he lost the feeling of being an assassin. Now if he puts sacrifices first, he will lose the feeling of being a pig."
Mr. Guo said: "Although, if the border is sealed forever, what's the point of just one pig and three?"
Zhang He said: "Sir, that's what you said. Your Majesty also means the same thing, and I agree with you."
Mr. Guo said: "Sir, I'm afraid you agree with me!"
Zhang Ye said: "It's been a long time since you've been unwilling."
Mr. Guo said: "Mr. Meng said that even though five hundred people were not enough to offer sacrifices. Between the four rivers, there was a vast wilderness. Even though dozens of hundreds of people were lying in wait for them, it was not enough. I wanted to burn them all, but The three animals have arrived, and if they are burned, they may be disturbed. Therefore, I ask your Majesty to send five hundred guests to accompany you to show your virtue."
Zhang He said: "The Prime Minister of Wei has invited two hundred divine soldiers to assist in the sacrifice at Taizhu. There are three hundred in the outer circle, and the emperor is here to invite guests. Now I have also arrived with hundreds of guests, which is four hundred. ... Your Majesty secretly Where are the men in black who were sent here now?"
Mr. Guo said: "Now that I am on a reverse journey, sir, how do you see it?"
Zhang He said: "The sky is getting brighter, but we can't see it yet. We may see it tomorrow night." The rooster crows three times, and the surrounding scenery becomes clearer and clearer. Although everyone does not come here due to the instructions of the city lord, the whole city The city has woken up.
The side door of the city lord's mansion opened a crack, and a lieutenant said: "Clear water and millet." Zhang Noi quickly agreed. Mr. Guo went to find the city lord, and Zhang Noi went to the nearby house to wake up the gentleman on duty, prepared a water jar, and went to the river to collect water. The city lord has also given orders to cook porridge.
After leaving the matters here to Mr. Meng Yu, Zhang Ye and Mr. Guo returned to their small courtyard, met with Zheng Anping, prepared to have breakfast, and began to organize Fang Qiu for the sacrifice. Although the square hill is a natural place of worship, it is uneven and overgrown with weeds. To turn it into a square mound suitable for worship, artificial trimming is essential.
This matter is mainly presided over by Mr. Meng Yu. After breakfast, Mr. Meng led all the strong men in the city across the bridge. Everyone had to spend a day repairing Fang Qiu.
There are also strange requests coming from the city lord's palace, asking for clean water and fresh grass; the water brought up from the river is not clear enough, so it must be filtered with shrunken grass; the fresh grass is not clean enough, so it must be washed with filtered water; Half of the fresh grass needs to be chopped fine, and the other half needs to keep its original shape; the filtered water needs to be heated, but not too hot... Zhang He originally wanted to take the time to observe the room where Zhan San lived, but in the face of these things He was so worried that even Mr. Guo was involved. Zhang He only brought out a hundred people. He felt that even five hundred people might not be enough to complete such a job. Moreover, most of these one hundred people are samurai, and they usually cannot do this kind of ceremonial work! Zhang Ye could only suppress the irritability in his heart and comfort the diners. In the end, he had to turn to the city lord and ask the women in the city for help.
When a woman takes action, the situation is indeed different. The water shrinks faster, the grass is washed faster, and the grass is cut faster. Although each person only promised one yuan, at the end of the day, Zhang Noi still paid more than one hundred yuan.
The five county officials are relatively free. The four soldiers decided to go on a horseback, leaving Cao Bao to deal with it in the city. Anyway, I don’t have any resources, so I can only call the city lord if something happens, so it’s better to let them call the city lord directly.
