Chapter 80: With Eunuch Gui, Life Is Easy

"Since it is more difficult for us to attack them, why not lure them down?" Song Qingshu said, "Master Wei's reputation for gambling is known all over the world. When the time comes, he will pretend to gather people in the tent to gamble, relax their guard, and let everyone in the Wangwu faction think there is a chance. If you take advantage of it, you will definitely have the idea of ​​capturing the thief first and capture the king first, and you can't help but come down from the mountain."

"Good!" All the generals praised it one after another. Wei Xiaobao cursed in his heart, but he could only agree.

That night everyone started a gambling game in the Chinese military tent. Wei Xiaobao took out a stack of banknotes and put them on the table, which contained a total of five or six thousand taels. He said: "Whoever has the ability can come and win." But in his heart, he said I kept praying that the Wangwushan group would never come down.

All the officers placed their bets one after another. After gambling for a while, everyone got excited and the bets became larger and larger. The sergeant crowded in the back also handed over his money to place his bets.

Originally they were pretending to gamble and secretly taking precautions, but in the end, everyone became jealous. Some even lost all their money and ran back to the camp to borrow money from their non-gambling comrades to recoup their losses.

In the Chinese military tent, if you hear the sounds of people shouting and drinking, eating and drinking, it feels like a real big casino.

Wei Xiaobao was secretly proud: "Hey, the more you gamble, the more involved you are in gambling. Even if the people from Wangwu come down later, you may not be able to catch him."

Suddenly, a person said loudly: "Hold the Tianmen!" and held something like a watermelon at the Tianmen. When everyone saw it, they were stunned. On the gaming table was a bloody head. The leader, wearing an official hat, is the imperial guard patrolling outside the tent.

Everyone looked up in shock and found that there were more than a dozen people in blue shirts at the tent, all holding long knives and swords.

The sergeants were preparing to counterattack with knives, but they didn't know that the knives on their bodies had been thrown aside in the excitement of gambling just now. At this time, the opponent was looking at them eagerly. If they picked it up, they would immediately become the target of the opponent's attack. For a while, no one dared to move.

"Hmph, the Manchu Tatars are really at their wits' end. They sent a young boy like you to lead the army, and they even gathered people in the military camp to gamble." Situ Bo Lei glanced at the situation and felt like a mirror.

"That's not necessarily the case." With a long laugh, Jiumozhi walked out of the crowd.

Seeing Song Qingshu next to Jiumozhi, Zeng Rou couldn't help but blush, thinking that it was just as he expected.

Situ Bolei's eyes narrowed, and he and a middle-aged man under his command all attacked Jiumozhi.

"The swordsmanship is good, but it's a pity that it's mixed and impure." Jiumozhi sneered, and formed hand seals with his hands up and down, forming a visible air mass in the middle, which blocked the opponent's three long swords at once.

Situ Bo Lei and others were sweating on their temples. They found that the sword in their hands was no longer under their control. They could not move forward even if they wanted to take back the sword.

"Okay! Master is good at martial arts!" A group of officers thought that Jiumo was extremely intelligent and skilled, and they all shouted for him.

A proud smile appeared on the corner of Jiumozhi's mouth. With luck in his hand, he squeezed lightly, and all three long swords were broken. The sword tips were reflected back to the three of them with a wave of his hand by Jiumozhi.

The sergeants in the tent took the opportunity to cover up and kill them. Everyone in the Wangwu faction was so frightened that their faces turned pale. In a hurry, each of them had several knives placed on their necks.

Seeing the Wangwu faction members who had been subdued, Wei Xiaobao felt a headache, his eyes rolled, and he was thinking about how to find an excuse to let them go.

Seeing that the time had come, Song Qingshu asked aloud: "Your Wangwu sent to kill officials and break into the camp. This is a serious crime of rebellion. Aren't you afraid of beheading?"

"Humph, we have dedicated ourselves to King Pingxi until we die. King Pingxi will raise his troops soon, and then the good days of you Tatars will be over." Situ Bolai said according to the discussion last night.

Sure enough, all the officers in the field looked at each other, and Zhang Kangnian angrily said: "Nonsense, the Holy Emperor loves King Pingxi very much, and King Pingxi has always been loyal to the Emperor. He has been guarding Shanhaiguan to defend Mongolia for so many years. If you bite people randomly, you have found the wrong person." ."

However, Wei Xiaobao understood the mutual suspicion between Kangxi and Wu Sangui. In addition, Situ Bolei was an old general of Wu Sangui, so he thought, could what he said be true? No, my master also specifically informed me before that he wanted me to preserve the Wangwu faction... I understand, he must hate Wu Sangui to the core. This time, he thought he would definitely die, so he wanted to drag Wu Sangui into his back.

After thinking about this, Wei Xiaobao quickly called several senior officials of this operation to the side to discuss: "I heard the emperor inadvertently revealed the idea of withdrawing from the vassal state before. Could it be that the news was leaked and Wu Sangui was panicked?"

A group of people didn't know about this change. Jiumozhi was shocked: "If Wu Sangui really has objections, it will be a big deal."

Song Qingshu's eyebrows jumped and he took the opportunity to say: "If we capture this group of people in the capital and Wu Sangui gets the news, if he is forced to jump over the wall, the emperor may not be able to deal with it in a hurry, and he may turn around and blame us."

Several generals of the Knight Riding Battalion were so frightened that their faces turned pale. How could they dare to take part in such high-level turmoil? One careless move could lead to the death of their families. They all looked at Wei Xiaobao: "Master Wei has the final say in everything."

Wei Xiaobao glanced at Song Qingshu in surprise. Unexpectedly, he said everything he wanted to say, and quickly said: "I'm afraid we have to find a way to suppress this matter. I think it's better to let these people go."

"Release?" A group of people felt that they couldn't understand, and they finally wiped out the Wangwu faction, so they let it go?

"This is because you don't understand the way of being an official," Wei Xiaobao coughed lightly and said pretentiously, "You caught them and thought it was a great achievement. But Brother Song has analyzed it just now. In the end, the emperor not only refused to reward us, but also said Maybe they will punish us. But letting them go makes a big difference."

"What's the difference?" Jiumozhi was at a loss, thinking how the officialdom in Zhongtu is more complicated than martial arts.

"Think about it," Wei Xiaobao said in a low voice, "They were captured by mistake and then released by us. They would definitely not dare to mention this matter to Wu Sangui when they went back. Once they mentioned it, Wu Sangui would definitely suspect that they had surrendered to the court, otherwise we It is impossible to let them go. They are not fools, how could they tell Wu Sangui?"

"In this way, Wu Sangui doesn't know what's going on today, so naturally he won't rebel so soon. But we can notify the emperor in advance, so that the court can make preparations. Maybe the emperor will remember us as a great achievement when he is happy."

"With Eunuch Gui, life is very easy!" Zhao Qixian on the side couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

Duo Long also smiled and said, "Thanks to Brother Wei for reminding us, otherwise we made a big mistake today and didn't know it."

Jiumozhi also sighed deeply: "The culture of China is really broad and profound."

"But what?" Wei Xiaobao squinted at the Wangwu faction in the distance, "They killed our brothers, and let them go like this, it would damage the morale of the brothers, hehe, we have to charge some interest on them ."
