Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

There came two middle-aged men, accompanied by a team of soldiers.

Chen Shao and Gu Feiyan stood there without moving.

The iron mine is patrolled morning and night.

The two middle-aged men stopped the patrolman and asked, then looked in the direction of Chen Shao and Gu Feiyan. After seeing the two, they clasped their fists to thank the patrolman and strode towards them.

When they came closer, they both clasped their fists and said, "Zhao Senduo (Han Jinghong) sends his regards to Lord Chen and General Gu on behalf of the General of the Cavalry."

After a pause, Zhao Senduo continued, "I was delayed on the way and arrived only now. I hope Lord Chen and General Gu will forgive me."

Chen Shao and Gu Feiyan invited the thirteen armed forces of the Shan State to come to Mengshe Yejian to discuss the matter of buying the voice, and they did not hide it from anyone.

Therefore, among the thirteen armed forces of the Shan State, everyone knew who had arrived and who had not.

"It's not too late even if we arrive now." Gu Feiyan led the two people into the military tent.

They sat down and waited for Chan Yi and Fu Jiu to bring the tea. After exchanging a few polite words, Chen Shao, just like he did with Rulu Pu and Nalong Meng, let Fu Jiu hand the Fuyuan crossbow and Shenbi crossbow to the two of them, and then he got straight to the point and talked about the business.

Zhao Senduo and Han Jinghong, like Rulupu and Nalong Meng, immediately changed their expressions when they saw the Shenbi crossbow arrows.

They went back and forth, repeating almost the same conversation. After learning that the two had not yet eaten dinner, Chen Shao asked Fu Jiu to notify the kitchen to prepare some food for them and send it to their residence, and then left with Gu Feiyan.

"I finally understand," Gu Feiyan said, looking at the group of people who were led by the elite soldiers to their residence, "You did it on purpose."

"What are you doing on purpose?" Chen Shao laughed.

Gu Feiyan retracted her gaze, "You deliberately speak directly, so that they can't find any loopholes in your words, and they can only act according to your ideas."

"You think too highly of me." Chen Shao shook his head and spoke frankly, "The reason why I was straightforward was that I didn't want to waste time, nor did I want to engage in a war of words with them. As for asking them to act according to my ideas, the purpose of inviting them to discuss business was originally this. Among the thirteen armed forces, if this one doesn't work, there is another one. I can always pick a suitable one, right?"

Gu Feiyan clicked her tongue twice: "Quibbling!"

The two were chatting.

Zhao Senduo and Han Jinghong returned to their residence, had a simple meal, and then sat down with the generals guarding outside the door, each holding a Fuyuan crossbow, to discuss countermeasures.

"This Lord Chen is a little unusual." Zhao Senduo said first.

First, he used Yan Hanen to scare the monkeys, and then he used Fuyuan crossbow and Shenbi crossbow as bait, and then let them compete with each other.

It can be said that no matter what choice they make, she will always be the one who benefits.

Han Jinghong looked at the Fuyuan crossbow in his hand and said, "Lord Chen is indeed not a simple man, but we will not suffer any loss."

Zhao Senduo's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "Yes, she wants to use us to help her eliminate the rebels, but we can also use her to unify the Shan Kingdom!"

Han Jinghong raised his head and glanced in the direction where Rulopu and Nalongmeng were standing. "We think so, and they will think so too."

Zhao Senduo followed his gaze and looked in the direction where Rulopu and Nalongmeng were staying. He said, "Whatever they think, it won't affect us. Now that Yanhanen is dead, the only one who can compete with us is the General Zhendong. And the General Zhendong..."

Ru Senduo sneered twice: "They were the first to do business with the rebels and the ones who had the closest contacts with the rebels! They are so despicable and profit-seeking. If Lord Chen chooses them, he will be courting his own destruction!"

Han Jinghong glanced at him.

Ru Senduo said confidently: "When we chose to do business with the rebels, it was an urgent means of self-protection, and it cannot be confused with the other!"

Han Jinghong said, "That's not what I want to say. Since you know the character of General Zhendong, how could Lady Chen not know? Since she knows and still invites them, it means that she doesn't care about these things."

Ru Sendo snorted coldly.

Han Jinghong took out the Fuyuan crossbow, put on the Fuyuan crossbow arrow, walked to the yard, aimed at the fragrant wood leaves in the corner, and shot an arrow.

The arrow pierced through the leaves and then, carrying the leaves, penetrated deep into the courtyard wall.

The tail of the arrow trembles.

The branches swayed.

"What a good arrow!" Han Jinghong had known for a long time that Datong's crossbows were very powerful, but after using them himself, he was still surprised. Playing with the Fuyuan crossbow, Han Jinghong's eyes gradually became firm. No matter what Chen Shao was thinking, they had to get this deal!

Ru Senduo was jealous, so he snatched the crossbow from his hand, shone it at the fragrant leaves, and shot an arrow: "It's a good arrow indeed!"

The Fuyuan crossbow already has such power, I really wonder how powerful the Shenbi crossbow must be?

After exchanging a glance with Han Jinghong, the two returned to the house.

After a long silence, they both spoke at the same time.

Han Hongjing said: "The letter sent by the rebels must be handed over to Lady Chen tomorrow morning to gain her trust!"

Ru Senduo said, "As long as Lord Chen is willing to keep his promise to only choose one company, we will accept the deal no matter what her conditions are!"

Although the words are different, the meaning is the same.

The two discussed the same goal for most of the night.

The next day, it was dawn.

Zhao Senduo and Han Jinghong walked out of the yard and saw Rulupu and Nalong Meng who also walked out of the yard. With a cold face, they nodded stiffly at them and hurried towards Chen Shao's residence.

Rulupu and Nalong Meng naturally did not want to fall behind them, so they also quickened their pace.

The two groups of people chased each other and soon arrived outside Chen Shao's yard.

Chen Shao hasn't woken up yet.

Fu Jiu stopped him from entering.

The two groups of people stood on both sides of the courtyard gate, one on the left and one on the right, waiting.

Chen Shao woke up an hour later.

I talked with Gu Feiyan last night until three o'clock in the morning, so I couldn't help but sleep a little bit today.

Chen Shao opened his eyes and saw Chan Yi guarding the house. He was shocked: "What happened?"

Chan Yi came over and helped her get dressed while saying, "General Zhendong and General Huoqi's men have been waiting outside the yard since dawn."

"Hasn't it been a long time since we've been waiting?" Chen Shao said, "Invite them to... have they cleaned up the new reception room? If not, then invite them to the military tent from last night."

"It has been cleaned up. We are using Sun Shoushan's original yard." Chan Yi said.

"Then you take them there, I'll come over after I'm done packing." Chen Shao ordered.

Chan Yi said okay and went out first.

Chen Shao had packed everything and was about to go out when Gu Feiyan arrived.

Chen Shao said: "I was just about to look for you, but you got here first."

"You are quite patient." Gu Feiyan paused, waited for her to come over, and went to Sun Shoushan's yard with her.

"Sir Chen," Ru Senduo stood up and asked as soon as Chen Shao showed up, "May I have a word with you?"

Rulupu was unwilling to be left behind and stood up immediately: "Master Chen, we need to talk to you too!"
