A Clash of Gods

When Qi Ning mentioned Shen Liangqiu on Haifeng Island, Shen Liangqiu was in front of Donghai Inn. He didn't wear a uniform and only wore a casual dress today, but his perennial military career, even wearing casual clothes, had a strong presence.

Although Shen Liangqiu was the deputy general of the East China Sea Marine Division and was of high weight, the East China Sea Inn was unable to enter easily.

The post is a place to entertain the important members of Beijing and China. As a military general, Shen Liangqiu cannot get into the post directly without permission. Fortunately, he did not let him wait too long. Wei Yujiang has already greeted him .

"General Shen has been waiting for a long time!" Wei Yujiang arched and said: "I wonder if General Shen is coming, what's the matter?"

Shen Liangqiu also said, "Wei Sishen, I want to see Hou Ye. I wonder if Hou Ye is easy to summon?"

"General Shen, after Lord Hou returned to the sea yesterday, his body was slightly uncomfortable." Wei Yujiang said: "It is really inconvenient to see a guest right now. If General Shen is in a hurry, you can tell Xiaguan, Xiaguan convey Let Hou Ye know. "

"Secretary Wei Si, some things still have to be face-to-face with Hou Ye, please ask Wei Si to report on behalf of him." Shen Liangqiu said.

Wei Yujiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that Xiaguan is uninformed. Lord Hou has been working too hard recently, and his body is really uncomfortable. He just fell asleep shortly, and it was really difficult to disturb this time. After Lord Hou woke up, how did the lower official tell Lord Hou? "

Shen Liangqiu hesitated for a moment before nodding: "So there will be Lawyers trial, and he will leave." He is not nonsense, he turned his horse and walked away.

Wei Yujiang looked at Shen Liangqiu's distant figure, and his eyes were deep.

Shen Liangqiu left the coach house, rode around two streets, and drove the horse to the shop buddy in front of a tea house. After entering the shop, he walked directly through the tea house to the back door. After going out from the back door, he walked through a small alley. That's how I got to the back door of a house. I first knocked twice, then tapped three times, and the courtyard door opened with a "creep". After Shen Liangqiu entered the door, the back door closed quickly.

He was obviously familiar with this house by car, passing through a flower garden, but in front of a small forest, Shen Qiu followed a path into the forest, densely shaded, in the middle of the small forest, he actually built a small bamboo house with a door An outside Tsing Yi young man was guarding, and when he saw Shen Liangqiu, the young man was actually familiar and bowed to salute, but Shen Liangqiu went into the house without looking at it.

The furnishings in the house are very simple, but extremely elegant.

Directly opposite the door is a set of bamboo bookshelves with a few rows of books placed on it. A small square table made of bamboo is placed in the middle of the room. On the side of the small table are two bamboo futons. .

Sandalwood was lit in the corner of the house, and the smoke was curled up.

On the bamboo table are pen, ink and paper inkstones. A man in a purple robe holding a wolf behind the table is inscription on the paper. Hearing the footsteps of Shen Liangqiu coming in, the man raised his head and saw Shen Liangqiu. The color of surprise, but still waving ink on the paper, with a slight smile on his lips: "General Shen, am I right?"

Shen Liangqiu sat down opposite the man with a dignified look, staring at the man's eyes and said: "Mr. Jiang, it seems that things are really not right."

That man in purple robe turned out to be Jiang Mantian, the head of the Jiang family in the East China Sea.

Jiang Mantian calmly calmed down and looked very elegant. He looked up and smiled, "How did you deal with that over there?"

"I have a bad health and can't see you!"

"Unsurprisingly." Jiang Mantian said with a smile: "This is the answer I don't want to hear, but it is the answer. General Shen, they deliberately concealed it, what was it for?"

"What did Mr. Jiang think?"

Jiang Mantian said with a smile: "On the surface, I just don't want you to know what he is doing. You are the lieutenant of the Navy. He came to investigate the cause of death in Dantai. He should have relied on you. Now I don't let you know him. Is n’t it self-evident in doing what? ”Jiang Mantian looked at Shen Liangqiu ’s eyes:“ In my opinion, this Jinyi waits at least not to trust you General Shen. ”

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Mantian sighed: "General Shen, this matter has been flawed from the beginning. Although he tried his best to cover up, it is almost impossible to do such a big thing without any trace."

Shen Liangqiu frowned: "Where is Qining now?"

"I also want to know where he is." Jiang Mantian said: "As far as I know, he was out of the city with Qin Yuege, and quickly left. After going out of the city, it was naturally not good for me to send someone to continue to follow."

Shen Liangqiu stared at Jiang Mantian's eyes with a slight suspicion, his lips moved. After all, he asked: "Mr. Jiang, the woman with the surname Tian, ​​did you really do anything on your side?"

Jiang Mantian raised his hand and put Lang Bo on the side, sighing: "General Shen still seems to have insufficient trust in me to this day. From the beginning, I said that the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the ant cave, although Qi Ning was young , But he is not incompetent. In this trip to the East China Sea, beware of him everywhere. Before he leaves the East China Sea, we must sleep with our eyes wide open. "Staring at Shen Liangqiu's eyes, he said lightly:" The death of Tantai Sunburn, this It will make things very troublesome, but another thing that General Shen will do later will make things more troublesome. "

"You mean?"

"Mrs. Dantai." Jiang Mantian lifted the teapot at the table and poured himself a cup of tea, not to mention Shen Liangqiu. He took a sip of the cup and said: "The military should consult with me first."

Shen Liangqiu looked cold, and said lightly: "You don't have to say much about this, since you did it, you did it."

Jiang Mantian said, "Oh," he said, "The general should understand that you and I are already in the same boat, and we are in the same boat. Once this boat sinks, it is not just the general who has fallen into the water."

"What if it is really found out by him?" Shen Liangqiu sneered: "The military power is in hand. He wants to leave the East China Sea. I'm afraid it's not that easy."

"Soldier power is in hand?" Jiang Mantian's expression was also cold: "General Shen, Xin Ci came here, why you know better than me. If it were only Qi Ning, many things were much simpler, but Xin Ci arrived In the East China Sea, this has changed. "

Shen Liangqiu's brows were slightly locked, and Jiang Mantian calmly said: "If only Qi Ning came, it would only mean that Dantai Huang was suspicious of Dantai's burning death, but Xin Ci came, maybe Dantai Huang already doubted you."

Shen Liangqiu sneered: "Do you doubt me?"

"Xin Ci is a veteran of the East China Sea Marine Master, and he knows the East Sea Marine Master very well, and this person was famous in East Sea Marine Master. No matter whether it is prestige or seniority, that is not under you." Jiang Mantian said slowly: "Dan Taiwan is dying and the East China Sea division is headless. Many people want to take advantage of it. Of course, the town and state official will not miss such an opportunity, but it is naturally impossible for the Jindaodantai family to make their bottom hand. This time, it is bound to be in contention with the Dantai family. "Pulled a letterhead from the table and handed it to Shen Liangqiu. Shen Liangqiu took it over and opened it. His face quickly became dignified.

"Xuanwuying's Zhou commander has been removed from office, the new commander is Qu Yanzhi, that's the black knife camp." Jiang Mantian said lightly: "Xuanwu camp has been obtained by the Sima family, if I am not wrong, this is naturally To the exchange with the Jindao Dantai family. The Jindao Dantai kept the East China Sea Marine Division, and the candidates of the Great Governor were naturally selected by the Jindao Dantai family. "

"The news brought by Xin Ci, the court has prepared to issue a decree, and I will take over as the governor of the capital." Shen Liangqiu looked coldly: "As long as the decree comes down, the East China Sea Master will be in my hands completely."

Jiang Mantian sighed: "But the purpose has not come down, but the Xinci has already come to the sailor first." He served a cup of tea and leisurely said: "If the court gives the will, he will take over as the governor. , I would n’t be surprised. Xin Ci was in the East China Sea at that time. That was Dan Taihuang ’s confidante. You should know why Xin Ci left Donghai Sea Master. Dantai Sunlin succeeded the Marine Master, but Dan Taihuang worried that Xin Ci was in the water The prestige and seniority of the teacher are too high. In this way, it may affect the prestige of Dantai who is the hottest in the sailor, so he took him back to Beijing. Xin Ci is a wise man, knowing that Dantai Huang ’s worry, he actively followed back Beijing."

"I naturally know why he returned to Beijing." Shen Liangqiu said lightly.

"Xin Ci can stay silent in Beijing for more than a decade without complaint. IMHO, with Xin Ci's ability, it is more than enough to command three or fifty thousand soldiers and horses. Even if he is not a sailor, he can be transferred to another place. Why is he willing to? Be busy and inactive around Dantai Huang? "Jiang Mantian's voice was gentle and gentle from beginning to end:" Xinci is that Dantai Huang pulls it up with one hand, and he is loyal to Dantai Huang without doubt, and he is also a sharp weapon in Dantai Huang's hands. Don't look down upon others, Dan Taihuang will not move according to this sword, naturally he waits for the right time to show his sword! "

Shen Liangqiu frowned: "Are you saying that this time Xinci will be sent to show the sword?"

"Xinci is above you regardless of seniority or prestige. UU reads www.uukanshu.com and has more trust in Dan Taihuang than you." Jiang Mantian said: "If I am Dan Taihuang, I want With the sailor under control, the most suitable person is not you, but Xinci. "

"In that case, why did Dan Taihuang recommend me to the court as the governor?" Shen Liangqiu had a sharp eye and thoughtfully: "What medicine is sold in that old guy's gourd?"

Jiang Mantian smiled indifferently and said, "Compared with the death of Tantai, Dantaihuang is most worried about the turmoil of the sailor. General Shen, dare to ask if the court is really determined to take over the position of the Governor from Xinci, After Xin Ci took office, he readjusted the sailor. I do n’t know what you would do? ”The body leaned forward slightly and smiled faintly:“ Once the emperor and the courtier, if Xin Ci takes office, the current general of the sailor will inevitably change greatly. Those henchmen arranged by the sailor are likely to be washed away. In this way, the situation you have been working on for many years will disappear. Xin Ci is not a layman. His familiarity with the sailor is not under you. In a short time, he will be able to take full control of the sailor, as for you! "With a faint smile, he said:" It's time for him to breathe. "

"He does have this ability." Shen Liangqiu said with a sneer: "I naturally would not give him this opportunity."

"Yes, we can't let the sailor take control of Xinci anyway." Jiang Mantian laughed: "So if Xinci takes over the position of the governor, the sailor will naturally have some turmoil and say that he should be removed. "After a pause, your eyes deepened:" Dan Taihuang is so sophisticated, can't you figure this out? But if you are told that the court will appoint you to take over the position of Metropolitan Governor, you can naturally appease you. In this way, in a short time At least you can ensure that the sailors are not disordered. "

The cold light in Shen Liang's autumn eyes was like a knife, and he said coldly: "If he didn't doubt me, he wouldn't have to appease me. Since he used this method to appease me, wouldn't he really doubt me?"
