Lu Qian saw Huo Gang's appearance and smiled slightly, thinking that his goal had been achieved.
I also thought that Huo Gang would be in trouble.
"These are the shadows in Duke Cheng's residence. Are all of them well-documented? You said there is some doubt about the identity of one of them. Could it be that you are saying that Duke Cheng is a female cadre?" Lu Qian Throwing the blame.
"I didn't mean that! I meant you..." Huo Gang saw Lu Qian put a big hat on his head and quickly denied it.
Lu Qian didn't give him a chance to finish, and continued, "Since you don't mean it, if you don't let these people follow, then you go to Duke Cheng and talk to him. Duke Cheng said that he and General Huo are also family friends. He also wants to contribute to the revenge of General Huo! Or, do you look down on these shadow guards..."
Huo Gang's expression froze and he pointed out that Lu Qian had not spoken for a long time.
Liu Wei also approached Huo Gang and said, "General, let him follow. I heard that these shadow guards are one against a hundred! They are doing us a favor!"
Zhang Ba also said in a low voice at this moment, "Yes, on the battlefield, if you want to kill them, you can do it without them noticing!"
Lu Qian's expression on the side was not good, although Zhang Ba lowered his voice.
However, he heard it very clearly.
These people really look down on themselves...
They actually discussed how to kill him in front of him.
After seeing Zhang Ba's words, Huo Gang said, "Since it was Duke Cheng's kindness, why didn't you tell me earlier! Okay, I wasted a lot of time waiting for you! The Huo family army we selected has already marched to the agreed place. ...Let’s set off too, please hurry up and don’t hold us back.”
After saying that, Huo Gang and the others took the lead, as if he were a general.
Zhang Bao listened very uncomfortable and said to Lu Qian, "Lu Qian, you just let him be so arrogant?"
Lu Qian smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have plenty of time to take care of him slowly..."
As he said that, he also followed behind on horseback.
However, Lu Qian's equestrian skills are really bad. He couldn't do it before, but now he can barely ride...
So, they are not very fast.
...
A large group of people came out in a mighty manner.
This time, the Western Expedition was talked about with great enthusiasm in the court.
However, it is still kept secret from the outside world.
After all, Xia Jiuyuan and his son were also afraid that Beiliang and Dazhou would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Therefore, there was no big fanfare to send them off.
At this time, Wan Gan was standing on the city wall, watching them leave.
He said to Xia Yan beside him
"Then it's up to you...you can develop your own army."
Xia Yan said with some scruples, "What does that eunuch have to do with Duke Cheng Guo? Duke Cheng actually gave him the shadow guard he used to protect him?"
Wan Gan snorted coldly and said with a smile, "You should know by now what's so special about Lu Qian. He even deceived you, let alone that fool Huo Gang!"
"You mean...those shadows are fake?" Xia Yan asked in surprise.
"Yes, he did go to see Duke Cheng Guo yesterday. But Duke Cheng is a smart man, so naturally he didn't meet him... let alone lend him the shadow... He just found someone with the same costumes. ..Those so-called shadow guards are actually a convoy formed by some forbidden troops that Zhang Bao found! But even if they are fake...didn't they scare Huo Gang? This is his ability." Wan Gan said with a slight smile.
Xia Yan snorted coldly and said, "Humph, I'll send someone to tell Huo Gang..."
"Hao Gang has been bribed by you?" Wan Gan said to Xia Yan.
Xia Yan smiled and said, "Isn't this the news from Master? That guy was stupid to begin with... But, I didn't show up..."
Wan Gan nodded and said, "That's good..."
"This time, Lu Qian is definitely dead.
.." Xia Yan said with great certainty.
Wan Gan showed a pity expression and said, "It's really a pity that this talented person died..."
"He is not smart and insists on competing with me for the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. He chose it himself." Xia Yan said.
Wan Gan looked deeply at the direction Lu Qian and the others left...
Inside the palace.
Gao Weixin was ordered to say to Xia Jiuyuan, "Your Majesty, Lu Qian and Huo Gang have already set off."
Xia Jiuyuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay! Anyone can send it off..."
Gao Weixin raised his hand and said, "No one came to see me off! But Lu Qian himself made a convoy of a hundred people and pretended to be the shadow of Duke Cheng."
After hearing this, Xia Jiuyuan couldn't help but smile and said, "That Lu Qian is indeed a smart man, but what I want is not a smart man. But someone who can be manipulated..."
Gao Weixin bowed and said, "Your Majesty said so!"
"I asked you to keep an eye on Xia Yan, how is he?" Xia Jiuyuan asked Gao Weixin.
"Your Highness, the Second Highness, has completely taken over the Forbidden Army and replaced most of the members of the Forbidden Army! As for the others, I don't know..." Gao Weixin said with his hand.
"After Huo Jiajun's vitality was seriously injured this time, can I let Xia Yan take on this important responsibility?" Xia Jiuyuan seemed to ask Gao Weixin, as if he was talking to himself.
Gao Weixin remained silent and did not answer.
"You old guy, I asked you to tell me what you think." Xia Jiuyuan asked Gao Weixin.
"Your Majesty! Among the six departments now, except for the Ministry of Personnel and the Department of Punishment, the other four departments are all talents recommended by His Highness! Your Majesty has a good relationship with His Highness now, so naturally everything will be fine... However, if His Majesty does something, let Xia Yan Not satisfied...I'm afraid, your majesty's hard work has finally led the tiger to reject the wolf!" Gao Weixin said.
Xia Jiuyuan frowned.
He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said.
"Your Majesty, what I said is wrong. Your Majesty, please atone for your sins!"
Xia Jiuyuan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Okay... you old guy! You can see the problem very clearly... Do you have any strategies to deal with it?"
"Old slave...Old slave is just talking nonsense. There is no way to deal with it." Gao Weixin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart! This is what Lu Qian told him before leaving to find a way to drive a wedge between Xia Yan and Xia Jiuyuan.
In particular, Xia Jiuyuan is suspicious by nature. If Xia Yan really has more power than him, Xia Jiuyuan will be afraid of him.
Unexpectedly, from this point of view, Xia Jiuyuan really took the bait right away.
Lu Qian is really a god.
"You old guy, I know you have a way, I order you to say..." Xia Jiuyuan said sharply.
"Your Majesty can test His Highness's heart! Try to provoke His Highness and see what abnormal things he will do... If he doesn't react, Your Majesty can boldly hand over the power to him. If he reacts If it is too strong, then Your Majesty can think about it again and again before making a decision!" Gao Weixin said while lying on the ground.
