The sudden disappearance of Jin Kui and others gave Zeng Kaigan and Lu Qian a headache. These people were all from the imperial guards. Although they were their subordinates, they had their own backgrounds in the capital. Once something happened, they would be the ones that were troubled.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for them to be harmed by their Imperial Guards and members of the Imperial Guards, but there must be a reason for the living people to disappear. In this Qingzhou City, only the government or the official army can disappear.

After hesitation, Zeng Kaigan finally decided to ask Sun Tu in person. But before he could take action, Sun Tu came to his house first, but he sent the terrain map around Liangshanpo that he had requested and a detailed list of generals at all levels in the Qingzhou military.

Seeing that Sun Tu cooperated so much, it was a bit unexpected to Zeng Kaidian. You should know that the posture he showed at the reception banquet a few days ago was very tough, and almost made Mr. Zeng think that he was going to be harmed. However, after a few days, Lu Qian went to the camp to transfer, the things were actually delivered to his door.

When taking these two items, Zeng Kaiqian symbolically expressed his gratitude: "I'll have a lot of trouble with Sun Dujian this time."

"Zeng Jianjun is so serious. This is what I should do. After all, we can work together to make our official army stronger and quell internal and external troubles as soon as possible." Sun Tu replied with a smile, but told Zeng Kaigan to be suspicious. Why did he mention internal and external troubles? External troubles are bandits in Liangshanpo, so what is internal troubles?

Immediately, he noticed something strange again. When Sun Tu was saying this, his eyes glans at Lu Qian who was standing aside, as if his attention was not on his side. Could it be that he was saying this to him? This thought made him unable to help but glance at Lu Qian again, and found that the other party was nodding his head slightly, as if he was echoing Sun Tu's statement.

This made Zeng Kaigan's doubts even worse. He thought that he had failed to get two things for more than ten days after he asked for them. However, Lu Qian only went to the military camp once and asked Sun Tu to send the things in person within three days. Compared with the two, the problem would be big. He is the imperial envoy, why was Sun Tu so polite to Lu Qian?

Sun Tu didn't seem to care much about this person's reaction, but just said a few gossips to him and stood up to say goodbye. However, before leaving, he suddenly seemed to say unintentionally: "By the way, I have a few words to talk to Mr. Lu Yu, please go out with me."

Although Lu Qian was surprised, he naturally did not dare to refuse when others asked for an invitation. He then stood up after a little apologetically and left the living room behind Sun Tu. However, behind him, the suspicion on Zeng Jianjun's face became even stronger.

When he walked out to the yard, there was no one around him. Sun Tu suddenly stopped and looked at Lu Qian with a flattering and humble smile and said, "Mr. Lu Yu, you should know how wrong what you did before, right? In fact, if you follow me, you must exclaim your anger for Teacher Lin this time. He is very wise and considering the friendship he had in the past, so he insisted on dissuading us."

"Little... the villain knew that what he did that day was indeed despicable and shameless, but at that time it was also forced by the situation. If I didn't do it, Gao Yanei would definitely not give up, and I would definitely end up the same fate, so..." Lu Qian panicked in his heart and defended himself repeatedly.

Sun Tu naturally disagreed with it. His explanation was just a self-deception. However, it was not time to pursue everything, so he said: "Since Teacher Lin has made a decision, I can't go against his intentions, so I'll give up this matter here. I just hope that you can reform yourself in the future and don't do anything wrong."

"Thank you... Thank you for being magnanimous, I am really grateful to you!" Lu Qian's words came from the heart and were very excited. He had been panic about Zeng and Lin Chong before, and he kept his mind at sleeping these nights, for fear that someone would appear in front of his bed at night, and he would not dare to go out, and he truly felt the pain of living like a year.

It was not until just now that Sun Tu said this that he relaxed and felt that his life had been saved.

In fact, when he was in Bianjing, he really didn't take Qingzhou too seriously. Even if Sun Tu had a good reputation, he could easily deal with it. After all, they were sent by the court, so how dare the locals not obeyed? But after seeing those rebellious generals, especially the many soldiers in the military camp, he was really scared, so at this time he had already thrown Gao Qiu's instructions aside, and saving his life was the first priority.

Sun Tu looked at his relieved look and smiled again, then patted his shoulder: "As long as you do well in my Qingzhou in the future, I will naturally want to cultivate you to other brothers, make achievements and become famous in the court."

"The villain understands, I will do my best to do my best to the Chief Supervisor!" Lu Qian responded quickly again, and at the same time he bent down and clasped his fists. His humble look almost kneeling down for Sun Tu. Until he accompanied Sun Tu out and turned back, he was completely wrapped in joy. Since Sun Dujian said so, he could naturally be able to let go of 120 hearts.

It was only when he returned to the outer hall and saw Zeng Kaiqian with a slightly gloomy face that Lu Qian felt relieved. The latter was looking at him with some suspicion and dissatisfaction.

"Mr., you are..." After a while, Lu Qian asked nervously after all.

"What did Sun Dujian talk to you? It made you happy and bow again?" Zeng Kaiqian stared at him and asked.

"This..." Lu Qian hesitated suddenly. The matter was not up to the top. If it was spread, it would inevitably be despised by many people. Now it was finally forgiven by Lin Chong. If it was rumored, it would be hard to say that something would happen again. Moreover, Zeng Kaiqian was not Gao Qiu, and it was even more impossible for him to keep it secret in such matters. So in the idea that it was better to have less than more things, he quickly made a choice and said with a forced smile: "I didn't say anything, I just told the humble position to deal with the bad things in the future, and encouraged the villain to say a few words."

"Is that?" Zeng Kaiqian could not believe his remarks. He had previously suspected that Lu Qian had an ulterior motive with Sun Tu, and now this suspicion is naturally even heavier. But officials like him have always liked to make simple things complicated, so they could not directly question them at this time, just looking at the other party thoughtfully. Lu Qian felt a little nervous when he saw them, so Lu Qian could only find another topic: "By the way, Sun Dujian has arrived just now, why didn't Mr. Zeng ask him about the inside story about Jin Kui and the others' disappearance?"

It would be fine if he didn't mention this matter. When he mentioned it, Zeng Kaigan felt even more annoyed. Did he not want to mention it? Sun Tu didn't give him a chance to mention it at all. After saying a few words, he actually stood up and said goodbye. This made his face even more gloomy, and he snorted: "I don't have to come forward with this matter, right? Since you are so concerned, then you can go to the military camp to ask, at least they have to help find it everywhere. Such a few living people will not disappear for no reason, right?"

"As for the order," Lu Qian hurriedly stood up and responded, and then said tentatively: "Do you know if the minister has any other orders? If not, the subordinate will surrender first."

"Go, I am not happy yet. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do." Zeng Kaigan asked him to leave angrily. After he hurriedly left, Zeng Kaigan stared at the other party with deeper suspicion: "Is this Lu Qian really already in conjunction with Sun Tu and the others? If this is true, my situation in Qingzhou will be more and more difficult. I really didn't expect that the civil and military officials in Qingzhou were so brave that they didn't take me, the imperial envoy, seriously..."

By this time, Zeng Kaigan had already felt powerless and confused, which he had never thought of before, and it was only half a month before he arrived in Qingzhou.

Lu Qian was originally a military officer, so it was reasonable to collude with Sun Tu and others. But as the imperial envoy and the military supervisor of the court, it was obviously impossible for him to join Sun Tu's subordinates to listen. Not to mention that his self-esteem made him unable to do such a thing - the literary and military officials of the Song Dynasty were inferior, and there was never a case where a dignified military supervisor wanted to bow to a chief supervisor - and the court would never allow such a thing to happen. If this is true, Cai Jing, who sent him here, would make him unable to bear it.

So things still have to be done, but Lu Qian has to be excluded first, otherwise Sun Tu is afraid that he will already know everything before he can do it. After making up his mind, he took the list of generals and checked it carefully: "We have to find someone with a good status but may not be valued by Sun Tu, and may have resentment as a breakthrough. As long as you open a gap, the subsequent things will be easier."

After looking at each name and experience position, Zeng Kaigan quickly turned his attention to one person - Qi Desheng!

This person is a veteran in Qingzhou early in the morning and has made many contributions before. However, as Sun Tu continues to recruit people, the power in his hands is being cut these days. I am afraid that he will inevitably feel resentful...

Moreover, more importantly, this person has always been good at training military affairs and has been deeply supported by veterans in Qingzhou. Once he can pull him to his side, his effect will be several times that of other generals.

"That's this person!" Zeng Kaigan stared at Qi Desheng's name and had made a decision in his heart. However, the only thing he was a little embarrassed now was that it was difficult to have any contact with him. After all, he was always in the military camp, and he and his subordinates were only left in the headquarters.
