The sky is getting dark and the day is passing quickly.

At Yang Jian's house.

In the inner hall of the backyard, Zuo Daolin, the commander of the left wing, was standing in front of Yang Jian, listening to him explain things in a low voice.

"Yes, sir, please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely handle the matter well," Zuo Daolin said.

Yang Jian put his hands behind his back and said: "This matter should not be known to too many people. You can just bring a few confidants to handle it."

"My subordinate understands."

Yang Jian further explained: "Remember, you must wait until the middle of the night when people are sleepiest to take action, and you must not be discovered too early."

"My subordinates will remember it."

"Go ahead."

Yang Jian waved his hand gently, Zuo Daolin bowed and left.

In the evening, around ten o'clock.

Guard the military camp and training ground.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Hua Ju shouted to the soldiers who were training: "Okay, today's training is over. Let's go wash up and rest."

"Oh, it's finally over."

The soldiers collapsed to the ground one by one from exhaustion and rested for several minutes before helping each other up and slowly walking towards the barracks.

Hua Ju called Xue Yuanhui and Qin Donghao to him and said: "The martial arts training in the past two days has been very effective. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers has obviously improved. Thank you for your hard work."

Qin Donghao said with a look of shame on his face: "This is all the credit of Xuedu Yuhou. I dare not take credit for my humble position."

Although Qin Donghao's position is higher than that of Xue Yuanhui, he knows that his ability is not as strong as that of Xue Yuanhui, so he puts his position very low during training. When Hua Ju is there, he listens to Hua Ju, and when Hua Ju is not there, he listens to Xue Yuanhui

of.

Xue Yuanhui said: "If there was no commander in chief of the Qin Army, we would not have trained so hard. The contribution of the commander in chief of the Qin Army is obvious to all, how dare the subordinates take all the credit!"

The more Xue Yuanhui said this, the more ashamed Qin Donghao felt, and said: "Xue Duyu, please stop saying that. I know how much I have. If you say that again, I will have to find a crack in the ground to get in."

"

Just as Xue Yuanhui opened his mouth to continue, Hua Ju raised his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "You two should stop pushing each other's merits. I know how you are doing."

Then he looked at Xue Yuanhui and said: "Old Xue has good martial arts skills. He is better than Lao Qin in instructing soldiers on how to conduct martial arts training."

He then looked at Qin Donghao and said, "Old Qin is a sincere and kind man. He cares about the soldiers very much. He can provide care and encouragement to the soldiers, so that the soldiers can always maintain strong training and fighting spirit."

Smiling, he continued: "It can be said that this special training, if any one of you two is missing, there will definitely be no special training results now, so both of you are functional."

"Thank you, sir."

After receiving Hua Ju's approval, both of them were very happy.

Hua Ju said: "You two are about the same age, and your personalities are quite compatible. You can chat when you have nothing to do and exchange your experiences in leading troops. This will be good for you in the future."

"What the adults said is that we will find time to communicate more in the future." Xue Yuanhui said.

"In humble positions, you must always ask Marquis Xuedu Yu for advice." Qin Donghao also said.

Hua Ju nodded and said: "Okay, you guys go back and wash up and have a rest. Don't sleep too late. We have to train tomorrow."

"yes."

Xue Yuanhui and Qin Donghao left.

Hua Ju then got on the carriage and left the escort camp, but instead of going home, he went to Sun An's place. He needed Sun An to do something for him tonight.

Sun An was reading in the room. When he saw Hua Ju coming in, he quickly stood up and said, "Sir, why don't you come over so late."

"I haven't slept yet." Hua Ju asked, holding a bag of things in his left hand and a jar of wine in his right hand.

Sun An said: "If you can't sleep, read a book."

"How about it? Are these books enough for you to read? Do you want me to get you some more?" Hua Ju asked.

A few days ago, he got more than a hundred sets of books for Sun An, which almost occupied half of Sun An's room.

son.

Sun An said: "These books are enough for me to read for a while. I don't need to get any more."

Hua Ju nodded and said: "Old Sun, I came to you to ask you to help me with something."

"If you have anything to do, just ask me, Sun An will never give up." Sun An said.

Hua Ju stepped forward and whispered to him, and Sun An said: "Yes, sir, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it."

Hua Ju handed him a set of black clothes, the cloth mask he made and a pill the size of a ping pong ball, and said: "This pill can release a hallucinogenic gas. Once inhaled, unless there is an antidote, otherwise

It will take six hours to disappear. Moreover, everything seen in hallucinations will still be regarded as real even if the symptoms are relieved.

When you act, first use it to make those people inhale the gas, and then put on this cloth mask and show up. Remember?"

"Remember." Sun An took the cloth mask and pills.

Hua Ju then took out a small white pill and handed it to Sun An, saying: "This is the antidote. You can prevent yourself from being hallucinated by taking it in advance."

Sun Zi took the antidote, looked at it, and put it away.

"There is also a jar of royal wine here. When you get it, I will reward them with the wine." Hua Ju pointed at the jar of wine and said.

This wine is his "specially made" "immortal drunkenness". After drinking it, you will be drunk for a whole day and night without being able to sober up.

Sun An took the wine and smelled it, and said, "It smells so good."

"If you like it, I'll bring you two jars later." Hua Ju said.

"Thank you, sir."

"Don't let anyone find out." Hua Ju reminded again.

Sun An said: "Don't worry, sir. I guarantee that there will be no problems."

"After they bring it back, they will put it in the room I decorated yesterday."

In order to accommodate Master Li, Hua Ju built a room here yesterday, in the yard next to where Sun An lives now, so that she can be easily taken care of and protected.

"yes."

After the explanation, Hua Ju left.

Sun An then put on black clothes, blew out the lights in the room, put on a cloth mask, pills and the jar of wine and left.

After Hua Ju returned home and met his parents, he returned to his small courtyard and practiced martial arts first, then took a bath, and then started painting as usual.

After midnight.

The temperature dropped suddenly, and light snow began to fall again.

Master Li's home.

Because there was an edict in the palace that no one could come to disobey the coffin, it was very deserted. Only mother Li and maid Xiaomei stood in front of the coffin, constantly burning paper money into the brazier.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew.

The window was blown open with a "clang", and the candles in the mourning hall were blown out instantly.

Mother Li and Xiaomei screamed in fright.

"Mom, I'm afraid." Xiaomei said tremblingly.

Mother Li said with a trembling voice: "Don't be afraid, it's just the wind. Go and close the window."

"I don't dare." Xiaomei shrank on the ground and couldn't get up.

"Useless things."

Mother Li cursed, bravely stood up, walked to the window, closed the window, and said to Xiaomei: "Light the candle quickly."

Xiaomei stood up and lit the candle. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everything around her was as usual.

"I've been running all day today and I'm a little tired. You stay here while I go upstairs to take a rest." Mother Li said.

When Xiaomei heard that she was being left alone down there, she was immediately frightened and begged, "Mom, don't leave me down there alone, I'm afraid."

Mother Li said: "What is there to be afraid of? My daughter loves you the most. Is it possible that she will turn into a ghost and come back to harm you?"

It's okay if she didn't say that. Xiaomei became even more frightened when she said that. She held on to Mother Li's hand and refused to let go. Either she asked Mother Li to accompany her down there, or she went up with Mother Li.

Mother Li was so entangled by her that she had no choice but to say, "You useless thing, come up together."

"Thank you mom, thank you mom." Xiaomei was overjoyed.

The two of them went upstairs together.

About an hour later, a small knife reached through the crack of the door and opened the door bolt bit by bit. Then the door was gently pushed open, and seven people with their faces covered and wearing black clothes walked out.

Come in.
