Kowloon wins

Chapter 433 Controversy ([-])

At the end of the unitary hour, the night has fallen and the stars are shining, it should be time to eat, but Hong Qing has no appetite at all, even if the dishes in front of her are lined up with all kinds of exquisite dishes, Hong Qing can only taste them , As for the wine, he never even touched it. He had a warm smile on his face, but he didn't talk much, obviously thinking a lot. Once he showed his appearance, Chen Size, Cao Yanshan, etc. People dare not go casually, the atmosphere in the flower hall is unavoidably a little depressing.

"My little lord, Lord Ninth and Master Ten went to Eighth Lord's Mansion hand in hand. In addition, Fourteenth Lord has already set off from the mansion. Judging by the itinerary, it seems to be going to Eighth Lord's Mansion!"

Amidst the sound of footsteps, a man in black hurriedly walked in from outside the hall, rushed to a few steps in front of him, touched the ground on one knee, and hurriedly made a report.

"Well, let's explore again!"

The morning of the next day will be early morning, if Baye and others want to make a difference in the matter of conquest of Dongying, the meeting agenda should be the meaning of the topic, Hong Qing doesn't think it's strange about this, but just face to face He waved his hand expressionlessly and sent the man who came to report the letter away.

"My lord, do you need to activate No. [-]?"

Although Hongqing never said clearly that there was something hidden behind the conquest of Dongying, but as the head of the "Sharp Knife", Chen Size knew the whole story of the "Osaka Incident", and knew how much Hongqing attached importance to this matter, so he couldn't help worrying. There will be mistakes in the actions of his subordinates, just to be on the safe side, Chen Size tentatively asked for instructions from the sidelines.

"Need not."

Hong Qing could understand Chen Size's worry, but she didn't care about it, nothing else, because Hong Qing had already expected what Eighth Master would do, no matter how the discussion process was, in the end It will only be the Fourteenth Lord who will come forward to win the commander-in-chief. In this case, there is no need to activate the core nails placed in the Eighth Lord's mansion. Those good steel whiskers must be used on the key blades. It is useless to say that you are overqualified at this time. , there is also the danger of being exposed in advance, such a loss-making business, Hong Qing is naturally unwilling to do it.

"Yes."

Hong Qing is the real master of "Sharp Knife", his words are orders, Chen Size didn't dare to have any objection, so he hastily responded, and didn't say any more, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell silent again.

Um?Could it be that fourth master really didn't see through this situation?No way, even if Fourth Master doesn't have this ability, Wu Sidao should be able to see through it, but it's been a while, but there is still no movement, it's too weird!
Time passed by every minute, and as the silence continued, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more depressed, but Hong Qing didn't care about it at all, probably because her mind was no longer here—"Osaka From the current point of view, the "incident" seems to be an isolated incident, but in fact it is the most important part of Hongqing's plan to strengthen the country. Whether it can take this opportunity to become a maritime power depends on the fermentation of this incident, precisely because Therefore, Hongqing must not sit back and watch the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army fall into the hands of the fourteenth master. The reason is very simple. The fourteenth master is in charge of the military department. It is not too difficult to firmly control the army. Even the navy that Hong Qing is about to form cannot guarantee that it will not be replaced by Lord Fourteen. Lord, there is only Thirteenth Master right now. As for the other elder brothers, their military talents are not enough to reassure the old man. It is impossible for him to be the commander of the expeditionary army. The root of this is, and it is precisely because of this, that Hongqing is nervous about the movements of the fourth master, and then sits in Xiaochuanzi alley overnight, in order to wait for the news from all parties.

"My lord, before a stick of incense, Dai Duo arrived outside Shisan Ye's mansion in plain clothes, and was negotiating with Bao Xiaowu and others about getting inside."

In a blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed, the night was getting darker and darker, and the atmosphere in the hall was already suffocating. Even though Chen and Cao could be regarded as calm-minded people, they couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed, but At this moment, a figure flashed in the hall, and a man in black appeared in front of Hong Qing's house like a ghost, but seeing him touch the ground neatly on one knee, he respectfully reported: .

"Okay, order No. 13, closely monitor and make no mistakes!"

Hearing that Dai Duo had appeared, Hong Qing's spirit was lifted immediately, and she gave the order without any nonsense.

"twitter!"

As soon as Hong Qing gave this order, the man in black who came to report the letter dared not be slighted, and hastily responded, and the figure flashed again, and the man disappeared.

Old Thirteen, Old Thirteen, you have to hold on, if you really want to soften your heart, then don't blame us for not keeping promises!
In Hongqing's plan, using the old thirteen to fight against the old fourteen is the key point, but this does not mean that Hongqing has no other alternative plans. In fact, Hongqing really has three sets Alternative plans are in hand, of course, the cost of implementing these three alternative plans is much higher than the original version, but if the old thirteen still wants to wear the same pair of pants with the fourth master, then Hong Qing can only reluctantly give up Yes, as for the old thirteen himself, there is nothing to say, but let him continue to sit through the prison...

"Slave Dai Duo kowtows to Lord Thirteen!"

There are two flowers blooming, one for each branch, not to mention that Hong Qing was worrying about gains and losses in Xiao Chuanzi Hutong, but Dai Duo had arguing with Bao Xiaowu and other soldiers from the clan's mansion outside the gate of Shisan Ye's mansion for nearly half At the time of Zhu Xiang, he finally got the permission to enter the mansion, accompanied by Bao Xiaowu all the way to the West Flower Hall, and saw the Thirteenth Master sitting in the hall, drinking wine to his own discretion, Dai Duo Not daring to look too much, he rushed to the front in a hurry, and it was a big gift to pay homage in a proper manner.

"Hey, it's the spring breeze. What's the matter, it's so windy today that it brought you here?"

The old thirteen used to walk around the fourth master's house from time to time, and he was very familiar with Dai Duo, the number one servant under the fourth master's family, and got along quite well with each other, but now and then, since being circled It has been more than three years, this is Dai Duo's first time here, and he didn't come here specially to say hello, this is how the old Shisan can balance himself, when he speaks, he is full of sarcasm Understand.

"The slave didn't come to greet the Thirteenth Lord earlier, it's really a capital crime, a capital crime."

Dai Duo can be regarded as a wise man, so he could hear the anger in the old thirteen's words, but he dared not get angry with the thirteenth master, so he could only beg for forgiveness with a smile on his face.

"Stop, stop, you are under the fourth brother's sect, but not the master's sect, this slave is not a slave, it's better not to call yourself a fool, after all, Mr. Dai came all night, but what's the big deal? "

The old thirteen already had resentment towards the fourth master, so he hated the house, Wu Di and Dai Duo all together, although he didn't really intend to quarrel with the fourth master, but he really planned to have a fight with the fourth master The fourth master drew a clear line, not because of the fourth master's lack of help, but more because the old thirteen had already agreed to Hong Qing's proposal and was really ready to stick to neutrality.

"Master Thirteen, if you say that, this slave is really ashamed. Alas, it's not that I'm hypocritical and unwilling to visit you. It's because all parties are watching your place closely. I'm here today." , I will have to eat bullets tomorrow, if the fourth master comes, it will not be as simple as bullets, the pain in it, please be sympathetic to the thirteenth master."

Before coming here, Dai Duo had already learned from Wu Sidao that the old thirteen might have reached an agreement with Hongqing, and that the old thirteen might have a disagreement, and he already had some expectations, but there was still a little bit of it in his heart. It was a fluke, but Dai Duo's heart sank to the bottom of the valley immediately after hearing what Old Shisan said. He had no choice but to explain it politely with an infinite grievance.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's just talk about your reason for coming."

Dai Duo's explanation has some truths, the old thirteen is not an unkind person, so he will not get angry with him anymore, and considering the relationship with the fourth master for more than ten years, the old thirteen is even worse After getting angry with Dai Duo, he waved his hand boredly, as if he had revealed the matter.

"Thank you Thirteenth Lord for your magnanimity. Before the servant came, Fourth Master had confessed that in the morning of the next day, even if he died, he would try his best to ensure that Thirteenth Master would lead the battle!"

Dai Duo kowtowed vigorously, thanked him first, and then expressed his intentions in a hurry.

"Oh? That's it?"

The old thirteen had already learned about the conquest of Dongying from Hongqing. Not only that, but he also got a book about the navy's army building and combat from Hongqing. During these days, he spent a lot of time Going to study it a bit, just waiting to show off in the future, because of this, the old thirteen was not very interested in the words of the fourth master conveyed by Dai Duo, so he just casually said something perfunctory.

"Back to the Thirteenth Master, the Fourth Master only has this explanation, and there are no other words. The servant dare not speculate."

As soon as Old Shisan's cold words came out, Dai Duo had already made up his mind in the old Shisan's heart, and he couldn't help but feel very disappointed, but when he thought of Wu Sidao's confession before he came, he couldn't help Dare to say more about other things, then he kowtowed respectfully and replied concisely.

"Um……"

There is always a deep meaning hidden behind a simple confession. Old Thirteen will not fail to understand this point. Just because he understood it, Old Thirteen couldn't help but feel turbulent again. He didn't speak coldly to each other anymore, but With a sigh of relief, he got up and paced back and forth in the hall very anxiously. Obviously, the old thirteen was at war with heaven and man in his heart.

"When Chunfeng returns, let me pass a message to my master, saying that my thirteenth brother has accepted the kindness of my brother, and I will definitely not do anything that is not good for my brother. For this one, I can swear to Tianmeng, as for the rest? , then it depends on God's will."

After pacing back and forth in the hall for a while like an angry lion, the old thirteen suddenly stopped, raised his head and was dazed for a while, then turned serious and expressed his attitude by gritting his teeth.

"Ah, this..."

Although the old thirteen was vague, but Dai Duo understood it immediately, there is no other, the master in front of him is planning to break away from the fourth master from now on, panicked, exclaimed The voice was already blurted out, and I was about to say something more, but I saw that the old thirteen had left the flower hall without looking back, and disappeared after a while...
