Eunuch Lu saw that he was shaking a little, so he held his arm and said slowly: "Since you want to be safe, just take me through the side door. Although this is against the order, it is a small mistake. , kowtow a few times, find any excuse, and Cun Sijun will forgive him. If he makes a fool of himself in front of everyone, the military master should understand which is more serious, right? "
After hearing this, the military man was really grateful. He bowed to him several times, walked out of the gate, walked around the surrounding road several times, finally found the corner gate, and quietly walked in behind the camp. It is separated from the school grounds opposite by a stone wall.
Eunuch Lu knew that the plan was done, so he immediately let go of his courage and walked straight to the living room with long strides. Seeing that there were three rooms inside, which was very spacious, he picked a chair to sit on and signaled to the military man. A look. The military man did not dare to sit down, so he just asked him: "Do you need me to go outside and call the two officials?" Eunuch Lu stretched out his hand to stop him: "No, if you go, you will only arouse everyone's suspicion and create disputes." . It’s better to wait for them to return on their own, let’s have a pot of tea and don’t be impatient.”
As expected, Taisu and Cunzhao waited patiently on the school grounds for a long time. They sat in the big tent, drowsy from the bright sun, and looked at the boring drill in front of them with sleepy eyes.
Tai Su couldn't help it anymore. He rubbed his eyes with his hand and took a Western hourglass from the table nearby. When he looked at it, he realized that half an hour had passed. He was anxious and angry, grabbed Cun Zhao's shoulders and said: "The soldier has not come back now. Shen must have used some trick to delay it! You and I really don't deserve to wait, so go ahead with your troops now. check it out!"
Cun Zhao suddenly perked up, held his hand tightly and said, "Uncle, there are still many soldiers watching down here. Don't be rash! Let them disperse first. If there is no guarantee tonight, Let’s ask again tomorrow.”
Tai Su was happy and listened to his grandnephew's words. He hastily announced the end of the drill and told everyone to put down their weapons and go back to the barracks to rest. After finishing the instructions, he took off his military armor and left with Cun Zhao.
As time flew by, the two of them felt extremely nervous. In order to relieve this emotion, they walked to the living room and planned to drink a few sips of tea to calm down.
"You two are watching the troops from the front. Have you had a hard time?"
As soon as they walked in with their heads down, they heard this unscrupulous tone, which made them tremble with fear. They stopped in their tracks and looked around. They were shocked to see Lu Xinzhong looking at them with a smile. .
"I know you two haven't reacted yet," Eunuch Lu paced in front of them, "but please don't worry, I'm the one sent by Manager Shen to discuss things. Just tell me anything, it's the same."
Tai Suyou stood there stupidly, with a look of disbelief on his face; Cun Zhao came to his senses first, looked around coldly, and asked him: "No matter what, we want Mr. Shen to explain it in person." , instead of letting him hide in the chamber and keep silent! How can you take charge?" As he said, he pointed his hand towards the soldier's face, "Is it possible... that he brought you here?"
The eyes of the three people moved over one after another. The soldier was so embarrassed that he had to bite his lips and kneel down.
Taisu and Cunzhao looked at each other in confusion, and suddenly realized, they stamped their feet and yelled at him: "You bitch! How do we trust you on weekdays to ask you to do such a big thing! How dare you deceive your superiors and allow your subordinates to do so? A chore eunuch came! He even took him through the back door... It disrupted all our plans. It seems that you are very clear-headed! Tell me, how many taels of silver did you accept from him? How unconscionable!"
"Two royal relatives! Two adults!" The soldier suddenly burst into tears, his supporting hands trembling as he sobbed, "This is not something I want to do. Shen is actually loyal to the Liu Party. I can't rest assured. I just found this eunuch, but I was afraid that you would blame me, so I didn't tell the truth. As for not taking him away from the camp gate, it was because I was afraid that you two would lose face in public, so you were bold... bold..."
"You don't need to blame him as a soldier," Eunuch Lu stroked his slender fingers and moved his eyes frequently, as if jumping with pride, "I made the decision for him in this matter. Who doesn't know that you want to get rid of Liu Dang?" , you asked me to pass by the school grounds today. It is clear that you want us eunuchs to be misunderstood by the imperial army and mistakenly think that we have fallen to your side. Then you will add momentum and incitement to make us have no way to retreat... But is this the reason? "
Cun Zhao knew that his plan had been exposed, but he had nothing to say to refute. He was just furious and looked at him with wide blood-red eyes.
Only then did the military man learn the truth, and his face turned yellow as he sat on the ground. Seeing this, Lu Xinzhong gently gave him a hand: "Master, get up. I'm sorry, I used some tricks. .”
"Lu Xinzhong!" Taisu yelled, his beard trembling, "You can be smart and play tricks on us, but you are standing on our territory now! I can also ask my henchmen to hack you to death here. Place!"
Lu Xinzhong smiled deceitfully: "Don't be angry. When did I refuse your proposal? The negotiation hasn't started yet, how can you use the knife and the gun? I'm just telling you that my chamberlain is by no means a slave for others to tease. , let you threaten me! Discussions must be conducted in separate chambers and on an equal footing."
Cunzhao took a breath. He truly realized the abilities of these eunuchs, and was afraid of his previous actions. If Lu Xinzhong reported this to Liu Dang, all his glory and wealth would be over.
"If I persuade you, what will happen to Eunuch Shen?" Cun Zhao said while motioning to the old uncle to sit aside and rest, so as not to waste any time.
"I am loyal to Manager Shen and will not do anything to hurt his heart. In fact, he is not against you very much, but he is unwilling to offend Party Liu. I can take the initiative to take over this matter, and then I will be recognized as an expert in politics. For the crime, just ask him to beat me with a few big sticks and take away a few months of salary to help him clear away the suspicion."
Tai listened carefully and sneered on one side: "This is really a thief's way!"
Cun Zhao took this opportunity to close the relationship between the two parties: "Eunuch Lu is really a man who knows how to repay his kindness, but we can't bear to see you hurt. After all, the crime of interfering in politics is not a light one. How can you come up with this painful trick?" It’s really wonderful, I will use this method to rescue you when the time comes.”
Eunuch Lu asked him quickly and felt at ease after hearing him explain his thoughts in detail.
"Now it's time to talk about our plan." Cun Zhao let out a long sigh. He understood that when a negotiation that should have been easy coercion turned into an exchange of interests, something would have to be sacrificed.
