Although Jiang Suizhou let go of the cruel words in his heart, he also knew that the more Lou Yue valued Huo Wujiu so much, the more he refused to do it, destroying the relationship between the two of them.
He listened to Lou Yue talking all the way, until he reached the gate of the palace, Lou Yue was still silent.
"It's true that the final general fell in love with the prince, but you have listened to my gossip for so long." He scratched the back of his head with some embarrassment.
Jiang Suizhou smiled faintly.
"The general loves his daughter, it's okay." He paused, then continued with a point. "But General, it's good to be pleased with gratitude, but if one day provokes others' fear and hatred, then, at that time, don't say that the golden jade is a good match, even if it is the safety of the wife, it may not be guaranteed."
Lou Yue was taken aback, and his smile froze on his face.
"What did the prince say?" He was surprised.
Jiang Suizhou faintly retracted his gaze, looked around, lowered his voice, and said, "This king has some news about the general. Presumably the general doesn't know, Pang Shao and others are already pushing your family to death."
Lou Yue froze for a moment, then furious, lowered his throat and said angrily: "It's true! This old thief has been showing weakness these days, he was doing a ghost in secret! Thank you, the lord for telling me, I will not let him succeed!"
Jiang Suizhou laughed twice.
Although Lou Yue said that leading soldiers to fight is a good hand, but he is really reckless. If he didn't stop him at this time, he would be able to smash the gate of Pang Mansion now with his gun.
"General, you don't know yet, what the hell is Pang Shao doing." He said. "If he intends to kill invisible, General, what chance do you have?"
Lou Yue stopped in place now.
His brain is really hot. Hearing what King Jing said, he also noticed that he had no chance of winning in the dark when Pang Shao was in the dark.
"Then..." Lou Yue hesitated for a moment, his voice weakened. "Does the prince have any ideas?"
Jiang Suizhou smiled and looked at him.
Quite like a fox pretending to be pure and innocent, he finally showed a few inches of tail lazily.
"This king not only has ideas, but also has ways to help the general." He said.
Lou Yue originally wanted to thank him, but looking at his expression, he was a little confused for a while: "Then prince..."
"This king is also a little busy, and he needs the general's help." Jiang Suizhou said. "But the general doesn't need to be nervous. Someone will deliver the meeting time and place to the general's mansion for a while. At that time, this king will take the bargaining chip of this king, and the general will not be like this king. Find a quiet place to have a chat."
—
Lou Yue naturally agreed to Jiang Suizhou's proposal, but when the two were separated, the look in Jiang Suizhou's eyes was somewhat complicated.
Jiang Suizhou knew it naturally, but didn't see it.
Whatever Lou Yue thinks, but now, he can only do so.
If he only helps Lou Yue blindly, with his family and country righteous on Lou Yue's head, and there is room for change, it would be difficult for him to really agree to his terms. Only when Lou Yue was forced into a dead end and he was in a dilemma, he could only make a choice on both sides, and he would make up his mind and make some sacrifices.
As for how he sees himself...
Jiang Suizhou told himself in his heart, it's not important, let him go.
It is not very comfortable to let a person who had been friends with him misunderstand himself.
He got on the carriage and hurried away. When he returned to the mansion, he summoned Xu Du and Gu Changjun to his room, agreed with them a suitable time and a secret place, and let Xu Du's dead men secretly bring the news in. In Lou Yue's mansion.
The time was set at night and the place was set at Jinyu Pavilion, a famous restaurant in Lin'an. Although there are many people there, but there are often officials and merchants coming and going, which will not be eye-catching, and Xu Du will inquire early. Pang Shao will have a banquet in Mingfeng Tower tonight, and will not meet Pang Dang acquaintances in the Jinyu Pavilion.
After setting these up and asking Gu Changjun to go to the Jinyu Pavilion to set a box in his name, Jiang Suizhou quietly waited for the night in the mansion.
It's night as soon as I see it.
He changed into Su Rili's uniform, prepared the evidence gathered recently, and planned to go out together with Gu Changyun.
But at this moment, Wei Kai came.
The door was pushed open, Jiang Suizhou raised his eyes and saw Wei Kai standing at the door, looking carefully in his direction, and said: "Master, Madam Huo has something to look for you."
Jiang Suizhou was now properly dressed and ready to go out. The excuse he was looking for today was to take Gu Changjun out to drink and have fun. At this time, Gu Changjun was waiting, and the carriage was already waiting outside the palace.
Jiang Suizhou paused and said, "You go back to Madam Huo, what's the matter, wait for the king to come back and talk about it."
But at this moment, Wei Kai's figure flickered and was pushed away from behind vigorously by one person.
Jiang Suizhou looked around and saw Huo Wujiu sitting there.
There was no expression on his face, but his brows were frowned.
With Jiang Suizhou's stunned effort, he had pushed Wei Kai away, shook his wheelchair, and entered his room, shutting the door from the outside.
"What are you going to do?" Huo Wugui asked.
Jiang Suizhou just wanted to cover it up: "It's nothing, it's just Gu Changyun who..."
"Follow me by fooling outsiders?" Huo Wujiu's eyes were bad, he paused on Gu Changyun's face, and then looked at Jiang Suizhou.
"You talked with him for a long time today, and now you are going out again. Is there anything I can't know?"
He looked aggressive and looked fierce, but only Huo Wujiu knew that he had waited for Jiang Suizhou for a day.
He had realized what was wrong with Jiang Suizhou, otherwise the main house wouldn't be so lively today. However, Jiang Suizhou, who supposedly should have come to talk to him long ago, did not move.
Huo Wujiu was anxious for a day, and finally got impatient.
He didn't know why Jiang Suizhou had to hide things from him, all he knew was that he had to stop Jiang Suizhou and ask clearly.
Jiang Suizhou knew that he couldn't hide it from him.
He took a deep breath and had to say honestly and concisely: "It's really nothing. I just asked General Lou to tell him something."
Huo Wujiu shook his wheelchair and walked in front of him, and stretched out his hand to him: "Take it out."
Jiang Suizhou unwillingly put the prepared evidence in Huo Wugui's hands.
Gu Changyun next to him looked dumbfounded.
When did the prince begin to listen to Huo Wujiu's words like this? And this Huo Wujiu... Although a bit fierce, the eyes that looked at the prince were angry and helpless.
This was the first time he saw such a vivid emotion on Huo Wujiu's face. When the two of them faced each other, the aura really seemed to have broken sleeves.
Huo Wujiu had no time to pay attention to Gu Changyun. He took the letters from Jiang Suizhou, scanned them roughly, and put them on his lap.
"What are you going to do? Remind him, or threaten him?"
Although he was a question, Jiang Suizhou heard that Huo Wujiu had already guessed what he wanted to do.
Sure enough, before he answered, Huo Wujiu continued: "You really think Lou Yue is a vegetarian, so scary? You only met him for a few days, knowing who he is, and what do you do? Jiang Suizhou, you are. I'm so courageous."
This is the first time Huo Wujiu called Jiang Suizhou's full name directly.
Jiang Suizhou paused, and was a little unconvinced for a while: "I did a few preparations..."
"So why didn't you tell me?" Huo Wugui asked.
Jiang Suizhou said: "You have a close relationship with him, and you will want to... it is still inappropriate to come forward."
Huo Wujiu didn't know what Jiang Suizhou's vague past and what he would do in the future, but listening to him say that, he still couldn't help being angry, and couldn't help feeling helpless.
All day long thinking about protecting one, protecting that one, but also protecting yourself in front of Lou Yue? Really really stupid.
Huo Wujiu didn't talk too much nonsense, he folded the letter a few times, and stuffed it directly into his own jacket, looking at Jiang Suizhou.
"Then go," he said. "wait for me."
—
In a very inconspicuous box in Jinyulou, four people were sitting around the table. Among them, Lou Yue and Gu Changyun were shocked, and no one spoke for a while.
Gu Changyun was originally here to block the gun, just to find a reason for Jiang Suizhou to go to the Jin Yulou. It was just a small matter, but he didn't expect... He could actually see such a scene that surprised him.
Huo Wujiu's legs were actually healed. He only heard Huo Wujiu say "waiting for him" to the prince, but he didn't expect that what he said was waiting for him in the Jin Yulou.
When he and the prince drove to the restaurant and entered the box, he saw inside, a perfectly healthy Huo Wugui.
He just glanced at Huo Wujiu, and felt cold all over his body.
This person didn’t know when, from the crippled bullying, he became the god of war who could twist his neck with one hand again, and he didn’t even know it, even Pang Shao, who was so violent at the time. Didn't notice it.
And Lou Yue...
He stared at Huo Wugui in surprise.
He had planned enough, waiting to face the unfathomable King Jing, but he didn't expect that tonight, sitting right across from him was Huo Wujiu with one hand on his knees and a cold expression on his knees.
King Jing sat beside him without saying a word, showing two points of pity.
"General Lou, sit down." Huo Wujiu was not polite with him. He raised his hand to serve the food, then picked up the wine glass and made a request towards Lou Yue.
Lou Yue's face was ugly, but he was helpless: "No blame, just say something straight."
"His Royal Highness Jing also told you today? It's different today, General Lou, I'm afraid you can't refuse me anymore today." Huo Wugui said.
His tone was cold and tough, and he didn't seem to be here to discuss with someone. On the contrary, he almost put the word threat on the plate and brought it to the table.
Jiang Suizhou couldn't help but squeezed his sweat. Looking back at Lou Yue, he really showed a little bit of resentment.
"Are you so sure?" Lou Yue said displeased. "You are forcing me to treason. No blame, your father never did this before."
Huo Wugui said, "It's not me who forced you, it's Pang Shao."
Lou Yue sneered and didn't care: "What can he do? No matter how powerful he is, he is just a civilian. I hold more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and now there are tens of thousands parked outside the city. Could he still kill me? ?"
Huo Wujiu's face was expressionless: "This soldier is still Jiang Shunheng in the final analysis. What if he wants to take it back?"
"Commanding an army of tens of thousands, can anyone else do it?"
"Pang Shao has gone to find someone to replace you."
"Then I am nothing more than disarming and returning to the field!"
"He won't let you die well."
"I'm upright, and I haven't done a shameful thing, what can he do?"
"As long as he stretches out his hand and framed him, he just comes at his fingertips."
"Oh, I am in Lingnan, no matter how long his hand is, can he reach there?"
"Now the governor of Lingnan is already Pang Shao's person. Can you say, can he?"
Two of you come and go, no one shows weakness. Lou Yue Suri's speech was already fierce, and Huo Wujiu's attitude was cold and domineering. For a while, the atmosphere was tense and the gunpowder was full of smoke. Meng Qianshan and Wei Kai who were standing by the side were scared into cold sweats.
Lou Yue stopped as soon as Huo Wujiu said this sentence.
After a while, he frowned and asked, "...what did you say?"
Huo Wujiu smiled coldly, took out the letter in his arms, and stopped in the air. Wei Kai hurried forward, took it for him, and handed it to Lou Yue.
"Let's see for yourself." Huo Wugui said. "He has already done it. Before long, your military power will be cut and the newcomer will replace you. After that, any evidence of corruption, malfeasance, dereliction of duty, and treason and treason, will be handed back to Lin'an, intentionally or unintentionally."
Lou Yue flipped through the letters, and his hands gradually began to tremble, and his eyes gradually turned red.
Jiang Suizhou could see that Huo Wujiu's move was exactly the same goal as him. He wanted to drive Lou Yue to a dead end first, and then let him submit. But Huo Wujiu was also too timid and bold. He didn't keep the slightest affection. On the contrary, Jiang Suizhou couldn't bear it.
How could he be a loyal minister and good general, seeing that he was framed by the enemy, but there was nothing he could do, it was really an extremely painful thing.
"Pang Shao will definitely get rid of the general one day. He is such a hopeless person. The emperor has believed in him since he was a child. The general does not have to care too much." Jiang Suizhou slowed down his voice and said. "However, you should also know that although the soldiers are in your hands, there are millions of ways to snatch them away. The faint monarch and traitorous officials are pressed on top of your head. Not only will these soldiers not become your backers, they will fall into their hands sooner or later." Not only will the general and his family suffer, but the mountains and rivers will wither and the lives will be overwhelmed. It is also just a matter of time."
After a long time, Lou Yue took a deep breath and put the letter back on the table.
"I know what the prince said." Lou Yue forcefully suppressed the tremor in his voice. After a while, he looked at Huo Wugui.
"I am not sorry to die, but Wan Jun will not be implicated." He said.
Huo Wujiu chuckled lightly, showing a bit of clarity on his face.
Lou Wanjun's mother was Lou Yue's beloved childhood, gave birth to her and died, Lou Wanjun was Lou Yue's lifeblood.
"However, if I make this choice, I will be a traitor in the future, and my notoriety is still second. If I am not careful, I will die." Lou Yue stared at Huo Wujiu in a low voice.
"It's not a pity for me to die, but Wanjun can't end up lonely." He said.
Huo Wujiu's brows frowned again.
What about him? Want to introduce him to Lou Wanjun by yourself
Then Lou Yue took a deep breath.
"If I want to agree, I only have one condition." He said. "You promise me that you will marry Wanjun as your wife, and you will live up to her for life."
Jiang Suizhou's heart was cold, and his mind was also blank for a moment.
He looked at Huo Wujiu, opened his mouth, but was speechless.
He tried to block, but he had no stand. However, he regretted it on the ground, and regretted that his heart hurts. He regretted that he had not made up his mind to stop Huo Wujiu, and he came and broke the net with Lou Yueyu.
Now... there is no turning point anymore.
There are some flowers in front of him, and he only feels that people are gradually becoming empty.
But at this moment, he saw Huo Wujiu stunned, and then he leaned back on the chair, raised one corner of his lips, and showed a sharp but cold smile.
"General Lou is too good at doing business." He said.
"But even if my father is still alive, he is not in charge of this matter. So I advise you not to think about it."
The author has something to say: Huo Wujiu: Are you kidding me, I've made it to Durban for so many years
