Brother Ruan went around for another round.
Huang Ke made an excuse and went back first to report to Li Gao.
Li Gao listened to Huang Ke's report and was very satisfied with Brother Ruan's statement.
"Okay, please step back. Remember, keep an eye on Brother Ruan and don't relax."
"yes!"
Huang Ke retreated.
…
It won't be long.
After Brother Ruan inspected the area, he came to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion again and reported what he saw and heard to Li Gao.
Li Gao heard it, and it was exactly the same as what Huang Ke said.
Brother Ruan then mentioned Lu Tian with some dissatisfaction: "Although Lu Tian has a good personal relationship with me, but relying on the great trust of the Imperial Master in him, he actually messed up the earthwork. This really blasphemed the Imperial Master's respect for him." Love."
"After I saw it, I was very dissatisfied and gave him a stern lesson. I don't know if he can remember this lesson."
Li Gao smiled slightly: "Don't worry about these little things."
He said this, but in his heart he was very satisfied with Brother Ruan's reaction.
This shows that in Brother Ruan's heart, he is ranked first, and others have to step aside.
Brother Ruan chatted with Li Gaohan for a while. He thought of the 'little trick' that Yan Qi taught him, and thought about it carefully. There was no mistake. He deliberately pretended to be hesitant to speak: "National Master, I..."
Li Gao said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Brother Ruan hesitated for a long time: "I don't know whether I should say it or not. However, for the sake of the overall situation, I still say it. I would rather say what I think if the national master is dissatisfied with me."
"oh?"
Li Gao stared at Brother Ruan suspiciously: "What do you have to hide?"
Brother Ruan gritted his teeth and said: "Then I will say it. Imperial Master, I faced Xu Tianhu in this water battle. Although the battle was evenly matched, I did not defeat Xu Tianhu. In my heart, I feel a little ashamed of the great love shown to me by the Imperial Master."
Li Gaodao: "As long as you are undefeated, I will be very satisfied."
Brother Ruan shook his head sincerely: "That's not possible. The Imperial Master trusts me so much, so I must shine for the Imperial Master and bring glory to the Imperial Master."
"Moreover, King De will also attend this consecration ceremony. He will definitely ridicule the Imperial Master because I failed to defeat Xu Tianhu. Thinking of this, my heart is extremely heavy."
Li Gao snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter, if King De ridicules me, I will push him back. Am I still afraid of him?"
Brother Ruan lamented: "But I feel ashamed of the trust that the imperial master has placed in me. I think that if I can win a victory before the consecration ceremony, even a small victory, it can stop King De's ridicule. ."
Li Gao sighed: "It's not easy to defeat Xu Tianhu."
Brother Ruan lowered his voice: "I have a plan. As long as I use this plan, I will definitely win a victory. However, I am afraid that the national master will not agree."
Li Gao immediately became interested and leaned forward: "What's the plan?"
Brother Ruan hesitated deliberately and looked embarrassed: "I have investigated Xu Tianhu. Although this person is brave and courageous, he is a soft-hearted person. He has never been a general before. When he is in the wilderness, he will help the strong and the weak. , can’t bear to see the poor suffer.”
"So, I thought, if I can get a group of Chinese hostages, tie them to a warship, and then fight Xu Tianhu. Xu Tianhu is very soft-hearted, and he will definitely use the enemy during the war. I will definitely win a victory by using these hostages. "
Li Gao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, this plan is very good. But, where are the hostages? Where did the hostages come from?"
Brother Ruan lowered his voice: "Master, I dare to mention that Lu Tian brought more than 300 craftsmen! I think if these 300 craftsmen were used as hostages and tied to the battleship, during the battle, , will definitely achieve extraordinary results.”
"oh?"
Li snorted and frowned deeply.
Plop!
Brother Ruan observed the words and hurriedly knelt in front of Li Gao: "Master Guo, please calm down. I know that Master Guo values Lu Tian very much, loves the house and the bird, and also attaches great importance to the craftsmen of Dahua."
"I want to use three hundred craftsmen of Dahua as hostages. It is indeed very unethical and makes the Imperial Master unhappy. I take back what I just said and just ask the Imperial Master not to be angry..."
Li Gao frowned and thought deeply for a long time, then suddenly laughed loudly: "Brother Ruan, your idea is not bad, hahaha, it's quite good."
"oh?"
Brother Ruan looked surprised: "The Imperial Master agrees...agree?"
Li Gao looked regretful: "Of course I think highly of Lu Tian, and I also appreciate the craftsmen he brought."
"But, who am I? I am the Imperial Master of Annan. Can I have an affair? No, I must use all my passion to love Annan."
"I must always remember that I am Annan's Imperial Preceptor. I care about the court and the people. For the sake of my country and the people, I put all my personal matters aside. No matter what bad reputation I leave behind, I am willing to do it. In short, for Annan , I don’t hesitate to leave an eternal reputation.”
"Brother Ruan, I have decided that you will use those Dahua craftsmen as hostages. Kill none of them that deserve to be killed. As long as you can win a victory, it will be worth it."
Brother Ruan was in a daze.
Unexpectedly, Li Gao actually agreed.
Moreover, although he talks so grandly, he is so ruthless in his heart.
Brother Ruan's remarks just now were entirely made by Yan Qi.
He thought that Li Gao would at least be hesitant.
Unexpectedly, Li Gao agreed very happily.
This guy is really vicious at heart.
Brother Ruan quickly followed Li Gao's tone and expressed his position: "It's really difficult to be a national master. For the sake of the feelings of the family and the country, the national master would rather be a villain. I admire him, I am grateful, and I will follow the national master throughout my life."
Li Gao looked sad and nodded slowly: "As long as you understand my good intentions, hey, I'm so sad. But, I had no choice but to do it."
Brother Ruan asked: "Then I will arrest those Dahua craftsmen now?"
Li Gao shook his head: "There's no need to arrest him, I have my own way. Huang Ke, where is Huang Ke?"
"What are the instructions from the Imperial Master?"
Huang Ke hurried in.
Li Gao said: "Let Lu Tian come over. I have something to say to him."
"yes!"
Huang Ke hurriedly went to find Yan Qi.
Not a moment.
Yan Qi came over: "What are the instructions from the Imperial Master?"
In fact, Yan Qi had already guessed Li Gao's intention, but he just asked this deliberately.
Li Gao stared at Yan Qi with a smile on his face.
He had long planned to kill the Dahua craftsmen after the fortifications were completed to avoid leaking the secret.
The time is set before the consecration ceremony, and only Yan Qi and Xiaoyu are left.
After the consecration ceremony is over, Yan Qi and Xiaoyu will be killed together.
Everyone is dead, and no one knows the secret of the garden's feng shui.
However, this needs to be done beautifully.
You can't kill directly.
Li Gao wondered whether he should use poisonous wine to kill the Dahua craftsmen?
Or go hunting and send these Dahua craftsmen into the tiger's mouth.
When he was in a dilemma, Brother Ruan's words gave him a more suitable reason to kill the Dahua craftsman.
This is really sticky bean bag falling from the world.
Li Gao looked at Yan Qi and laughed suddenly: "Lu Tian, I want to tell you some great news. You will be very happy after hearing it."
