The White Horse Temple was not only crowded with pilgrims, but there were also many vendors doing business, selling all kinds of interesting small items, handmade products, and snacks.
The Qiao sisters walked past the stalls one by one, as if they had not been out to play for a long time.
In a short time, the two sisters bought so many things that Liu Cheng could no longer hold them in his hands, so he had to call one of the plainclothes guards to help carry them.
The two sisters visited the vendors' stalls, and then went to the Main Hall to burn incense and worship.
Liu Cheng folded his arms and leaned on a pillar in front of the door to wait for the two sisters.
At this time, several figures came into his sight.
These people are He Yong, Xun You, Wu Qiong, and Zhong Ji.
There was nothing wrong with the other three people, but Zhong Ji appeared among them, which attracted Liu Cheng's attention.
You must know that Zhong Ji is his person, and among the other three, He Yong and Wu Qiong ostensibly defected.
Dong Zhuo is secretly a member of the Yuan family.
Only Xun You has not taken sides yet.
Zhong Ji is a general under Liu Cheng and holds the military power of the Northern Army Infantry School.
It is definitely not a good thing for him to hang out with these people.
Liu Cheng frowned deeply.
These four people followed a monk around the main hall and went to the back.
Liu Cheng found two more people following them without leaving a trace.
He guessed that these two people must be the people sent by Zhao Rui to follow Zhongji.
What do these people want to do when they get together from time to time?
People who are following them don't dare to get too close.
These people have guards around them, and they will definitely be discovered if they get too close.
By the time the Qiao sisters finished burning incense, it was already getting late, and He Yong and others had not yet appeared, so Liu Cheng had to send the Qiao sisters home first.
It was already evening when they returned to the General's Mansion.
After dinner, Zhao Rui came to report: "My lord, this afternoon Zhong Ji followed He Yong, Wu Qiong, Xun You and others to the White Horse Temple.
The four of them had a secret meeting in a Zen room and arranged for guards to guard outside the Zen room.
The people sent by the low-level people to keep an eye on them couldn’t get close, and I don’t know what they were discussing.”
Liu Cheng thought for a while and said: "We must find out what they are plotting.
If we keep a close eye on them, we may not be able to find out the news.
It seems that we have to find a solution from the people around them."
Zhao Ruidao: "The humble position has been arranged.
Send someone to contact the guards around them and try to bribe a few to see if there is any harvest."
At this time, a soldier outside the mansion came to report: "General Qi, Lord Shangshu Lang Qiao wants to see you."
"Oh please, please" Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment and ordered.
He was murmuring in his heart.
He had just returned from Qiao Mansion.
What happened to Qiao Yu?
Why didn't he tell her before in Qiao Mansion?
Just as he was thinking about it, Qiao Yu walked in.
He immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Brother, if you need something, just send someone over to say something.
Why bother to go there in person?"
Qiao Yu cupped his hands and said, "It's a very important matter.
I can't help but come."
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Rui next to him.
Liu Chengdao: "It doesn't matter, we are all our own people.
If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
Seeing this, Qiao Yu nodded and said: "There is something I wanted to tell you at noon, but because Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao came home safely, I forgot about it in my heart.

It's like this, a few days ago At night, several colleagues and I ate at Juxianlou I was drinking wine and going to the bathroom during the dinner.
When I passed a room, I vaguely heard someone plotting to kill Dong Zhuo.
I was shocked and quietly approached the door.
I saw He Yong, Wu Qiong, Xun You, Zhong Ji and others through the crack in the door.
Man, I'm worried that someone might find out they've been involved in the DPRK.
I started fighting in the hall and left without hearing any more.
I wanted to keep this matter in my stomach.
It had nothing to do with me anyway, but today I remembered that Zhongji seems to be one of yours.
If he was hanging out with this group of people, it would have been without your instructions. , then the things inside It's no big deal.
Now that you have become my future uncle, your family and our family will both prosper and suffer.
So I thought about letting you know about this matter so as not to keep you in the dark.
If something goes wrong, you may not be able to cope with it.”
Liu Cheng was frightened when he heard what Qiao Yu said.
These people were too courageous.
Do they think they can kill Dong Zhuo with just a few of them?
But Wu Qiong and Zhong Ji both have military power.
If With careful deployment, it is not possible to kill Dong Zhuo, but is Dong Zhuo so easy to kill?
If Dong Zhuo was easy to kill, the fat man would have been killed countless times by assassins sent by various forces in the DPRK and China.
Not to mention Dong Zhuo, Liu Cheng has been assassinated eight times, if not ten times, in the past few months, but none of them were successful.
Liu Cheng clasped his fists at Qiao Yu and said, "Thank you very much, brother, for coming to report.
I will make arrangements.
Brother, don't worry."
"In that case, I'll take my leave first," Qiao Yu said and stood up to leave.
Liu Cheng hurriedly got up to see him off, and called several guards from the mansion to escort Qiao Yu home.
Watching the carriage go away, Liu Cheng said with a gloomy face to Zhao Rui beside him: "Continue to send people to keep an eye on them and report any news immediately."
"promise" After Zhao Rui left, Liu Cheng thought for a while and decided to summon his staff to discuss the matter.
So he sent someone to notify Zhong Yao, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Zhu Jianping, Zhang Ji and other close staff to come to discuss the matter.
Finally, he thought After thinking about it, I called Xu Shu and Shi Tao over.
Xu Shu and Shi Tao performed outstandingly in the conflict between Liu Cheng and Dong Zhuo over the abolition of Li more than a month ago.
Liu Cheng could also see that the two wanted to make contributions, but the level of the two was still a little behind.
Not only were their martial arts not very good.
Outstanding, even the literary talents and strategies are far inferior to those of Zhong Yao, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Zhu Jianping, Zhang Ji and others.
However, these two people were still young and had a lot of room for growth and great potential, so Liu Cheng asked Xun Yu to introduce Shi Tao to Xun Shuang according to their wishes, and asked Xun Shuang to learn from him.
Xu Shu introduced him to Huangfu Song and learned the art of war under his name.
He also opened the library in the general's mansion to them so that they could read and study at any time.
Everyone arrived quickly and bowed to Liu Cheng one by one: "Meet my lord."
Liu Cheng lowered his hand and asked them to sit down, and said: "I was hesitant to invite you here so late, so I invited you to come over and discuss the details together.
Recently, I received a tip-off that the infantry colonel Zhongji secretly frequently communicated with He He.
Yong, Wu Qiong, Zhou Ao and others came into contact, and there is news that they are plotting to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
We still don’t know the specific plan.”
The staff looked at each other.
This news was really shocking to them.
You must know that He Yong, Wu Qiong and Zhou Yoke were all Dong Zhuo's people.
They actually wanted to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
The most surprising thing was that Zhong Ji was also involved. , Zhongji is an infantry captain of the Northern Army, commanding six to seven thousand troops, but this person's involvement in this matter was hidden from the right general's office.

This is unacceptable.
It is obvious that he is cheating.
Liu Cheng continued: "There is another thing that you may not know.
He Yong, Wu Qiong, Zhou Ao and others are secretly working for the Yuan family.
What is even more surprising is that they did not let go of the fact that they wanted to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
The Yuan family knows; in addition, someone has been spreading rumors outside recently that are unfavorable to Dong Zhuo.
He Yong reported to Yuan Wei that Huang Wan and Yang Biao sent people to do it.
The authenticity of this news has yet to be confirmed, but the Yuan family did not secretly leak the news to Dong Zhuo.
This is really interesting.
Please analyze and analyze, why does this general feel that there is a bit of chaos here?"
The staff began to analyze the information and used their own brains.
However, it was not easy to combine the information for analysis, straighten out the connections and make accurate judgments.
Jia Xu stood up first and said to Liu Cheng: "My Lord, based on the analysis of the above information, I believe that He Yong, Wu Qiong, Zhou Ao and others are not really loyal to Dong Zhuo, nor are they really loyal to the Yuan family.
This group of people There are two possibilities: first, they secretly The Yuan family has started a new business, but they have not severed ties with the Yuan family.
Secondly, there is another backer behind them.
Since the news has not been verified, we will leave it to you who sent people to spread the unfavorable remarks against Dong Zhuo.
Put this news aside”.
"First of all, I think the Yuan family does not want to eradicate Dong Zhuo, but is just trying to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
If the Yuan family wants to eradicate Dong Zhuo, they will not obediently hand over the military power of the Xiyuan Army and will not be at the mercy of Dong Zhuo.
So why does the Yuan family not want to eradicate Dong Zhuo?
Is it because he doesn't want to cause trouble?
This possibility is very small.
You must know that Dong Zhuo has had a great impact on the interests of the Yuan family since he entered the capital.
The Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and is very powerful.
Yuan Wei is not an economical lamp.
Subordinates are bold It is speculated that the Yuan family has long been disobedient and wanted to use Dong Zhuo's hand to bring trouble to the court and the world.
They like to fish in troubled waters and profit from it.
He Yong, Wu Qiong, Zhou Ao and others left the Yuan family aside and conspired to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
This can be confirmed This point; Yuan This can be confirmed by the fact that the Yuan family did not betray Huang Wan and Yang Biao to Dong Zhuo, because the Yuan family needed the Yang family and the Huang family to jointly contain Dong Zhuo.
If all the forces in the court were eradicated by Dong Zhuo, only the Yuan family would be left.
It's dangerous."
"Secondly, if He Yong, Wu Qiong, Zhou Ao, Zhong Ji and others did not have other backers behind them, but just secretly left the Yuan family aside to eradicate Dong Zhuo, this would be relatively simple; but if there are other backers behind these people , this matter becomes complicated.
Who is the mysterious backer behind them needs to be further verified."
"Again, Zhongji, is he a mole planted by other forces within our party, or is he just trying to eradicate Dong Zhuo with He Yong, Wu Qiong, Zhou Ao and others, but he has not completely betrayed the lord?
This needs further research.
Verify, after all, Zhongji's status under the lord is not low.
It is okay to suspect, but if we take measures against him rashly, it may have a negative impact on our internal affairs.
No matter what his situation is, I think he cannot be allowed to participate.
In the conspiracy to eradicate Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo and his men were definitely not freeloaders.
Didn't Dong Zhuo have a channel to collect information?
His subordinates believed that Dong Zhuo could not be eradicated with the strength of these people.
Once the operation failed, as long as planting If the editor is involved, the lord will definitely be involved, and Dong Zhuo will definitely think that the lord is behind it.
At that time, Dong Zhuo will have to confront the lord face to face again, which is exactly contrary to our purpose
