Xian Yutong hasn't come back yet, but Xiao Qiang met someone he never wants to see now.

Dai Shulun.

Deng Fang's most capable assistant in the past was hidden behind Deng Fang. It was not until Deng Fang died that it officially surfaced. With one move, the Qin intelligence agency Sand Ant, almost entirely escaped from the control of the Qin court. Even if Prince Ma Chao took action, he only got an empty shell. The real elite and most of the structure disappeared without a trace under the command of Dai Shulun.

It is precisely because of this that Dai Shulun officially surfaced and became a person who was unable to kill the prince Ma Chao. When something happened to Deng Hong, Xiao Qiang thought that Dai Shulun had also fallen into the hands of the court, but he did not expect that this guy who looked thin and almost dry appeared in front of him in a lively manner.

This is a forward-looking post outside Hulao Pass. A small military camp stationed by a captain with about 100 soldiers. This military camp exists as a monitoring of the movements of the Qi army. After Feng Qicun left, Xiao Qiang began to patrol these military camps, because soon after, the Ming, Qin and Chu states joined forces to attack Qi state, and Xiao Qiang must make corresponding preparations.

Xiao Qiang is ambitious, but his ability to lead troops is really good. He is also an extremely serious person in his work, otherwise he would not have been valued by Deng Hong at the beginning.

He raided the military camps to see if his soldiers were also alert when there was no war. As a result, he did not scare these Qin troops, but scared himself.

"Mr. Dai!" Looking at Dai Shulun who was surrounded by his soldiers, Xiao Qiang could hardly believe his eyes.

"General Xiao, we're meeting again!" Dai Shulun bowed his hand, but his expression was a little sad. "It's different now. I wonder if General Xiao can still regard Dai as a friend as he used to?"

Xiao Qiang narrowed his eyes and looked at the captain in charge of the military camp and more than a hundred soldiers. The captain was calm and the soldiers were also calm. It seemed that they knew Dai Shulun's identity well. This shocked him a little. These were all his subordinates, but now it seems that they have some inhumane connections with Dai Shulun.

"What are you talking about with Brother Dai?" Xiao Qiang smiled and jumped off his horse and looked at Dai Shulun, "But you are really brave. Do you know that Your Highness the Crown Prince is arresting you? Feng Qicun came to me a few days ago and even talked about you?"

Dai Shulun sneered on his face: "So General Xiao, are you going to assist the prince in arresting me?"

"Brother Dai, Brother Dai, you are really good at telling jokes." Xiao Qiang laughed and pointed at Dai Shulun, "No matter what now, we used to be friends with the same account and worked together for many years. Xiao still disdained to do such a thing."

"Okay, that's great, General Xiao, it's not a place to talk outside. Look at the sun, let's talk inside!" Dai Shulun then laughed and reached out to give in, as if he was the master.

Xiao Qiang was unhappy and glanced at the captain, but the captain looked at him. After hiding, Xiao Qiang immediately understood that the captain must be the one among the sand ants of Dai Shulun. It seemed that he had hidden Dai Shulun for a long time.

However, Xiao Qiang was not worried about Dai Shulun's courage to do anything to him. First, even if Dai Shulun wanted to be unfavorable to him, the people here could only die in front of him and his personal guards. Second, Dai Shulun has never been the kind of guy who is anxious to jump over the wall. To put it badly, this person is just a traitor.

"Okay, please come in." Xiao Qiang smiled and stretched out his hand: "Xiao Moutian is the landlord. Since Brother Dai has arrived here, I will naturally have to entertain you. You, go and prepare some wine and food immediately, and I will treat Brother Dai well."

The captain who was pointed at by him was stunned. He responded with great confidence and ran towards the kitchen behind him like flying.

There was no one else in the room, and the smiles on the faces disappeared almost at the same time. When they sat opposite each other, Xiao Qiang slowly said: "Brother Dai, you are here to see me specifically. You know the right and wrong place in Hulao Guanzhong, so you chose this place, but how did you know that I will definitely come here? Take a chance? If I don't come, wouldn't you just wait for a fight?"

"Of course I know you will definitely come." Dai Shulun said lightly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince signed a ceasefire agreement with Qin Feng. Hehe, there are 10 million 200 silver war compensation, and the need for Qin to send troops to deal with Qi, etc. After knowing this clause, I know that you will definitely come out to investigate these military camps. This is your style."

"Do you know my style so well?" Xiao Qiang asked.

"Of course, I have studied their personalities in detail by the generals under the prince. General Xiao, let me tell you, a few years ago, I suggested that the prince should take you down as soon as possible because you have a heart that is unwilling to be submissive, but unfortunately the prince did not listen to me."

Xiao Qiang laughed: "Brother Dai, tell me this, won't you kill me in anger?"

"If you really want to kill me, I have nothing to say, but it can also prove that you are just a narrow-minded person and cannot accomplish anything big. If I die, I will die, and I will be blind." said Dai Shulun.

Xiao Qiang was stunned, "Your words sound very interesting!"

"It's really interesting." Dai Shulun smiled. "The prince was placed under house arrest in Yongdu. Deng's family was completely destroyed. There is no future for him to stand out. However, I, Dai Shulun, don't want to sink into it, nor do I want to become a wanted criminal in Qin forever. Naturally, I have to find a way out for myself."

"Is this way out?" Xiao Qiang laughed and shook his head repeatedly: "Brother Dai, do I have the courage to take you in? And, why should I take you in? This is a taboo in the court."

"Are you more suspicious of the court?" Dai Shulun sneered: "And I dare to come to you, of course because I still have value. Haven't you always wanted to be a person like Bian Wushuang and the Prince? Then you will be inseparable from my help."

"Sand Ant!" Xiao Qiang took a deep breath. Dai Shulun said it well. He has the strength. He has the secrets all over the country and the secret spies arranged in other countries. This person's strength is no worse than that of an army.

"It's not just the sand ant, but also because I'm a representative of the Deng family's power." Dai Shulun looked at Xiao Qiang, "General Xiao, are you interested?"

"I would like to hear the details." Xiao Qiang made a gesture of asking for help.

"General Xiao, why didn't our Emperor kill the prince?" Dai Shulun asked suddenly.

"No matter what, the prince is also a person who has made great contributions to the state." Xiao Qiang thought for a while and said.

"Just." Dai Shulun sneered: "Did Yang Zhiyu make great achievements? What was the result? The prince forced him to launch a desperate attack with the generals who had been scarred for many years in battle for the country, and watched them die on the road of charge. How could the prince be an exception? He did not kill the prince, not because he did not want to kill, but because he did not dare to kill."

Xiao Qiang thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, if you kill the prince, I'm afraid Qin will fall into civil strife."

"General Xiao, Deng's family is indeed collapsed now, but the prince's strength still exists. These strengths are not only the remaining army, but also the things hidden underwater that cannot be seen at all. These are the things that the emperor fears. What is invisible is the threat. The strength like Lu Dao's floating on the water will be able to quickly formulate countermeasures." Dai Shulun said.

Xiao Qiang held his fingers with his ten fingers, and unconsciously exerted force to make the joints protrude. He stared at Dai Shulun and asked, "What do you mean is that if I accept you, I will get them?"

Dai Shulun laughed: "General Xiao, your idea is too naive. What I want to say is that you have got me, and I can find a way to get you them. If you want to get the recognition of these people and take you as your main focus, you will not be able to achieve your goal easily."

"Do you know the details of these people?"

"Of course." Uncle Dai said proudly: "I know everyone clearly, General Xiao, during this period, I have been running around and meeting many people, especially a few of them with great weight. They are all very uneasy and frightened now, and are also looking for another person who can support the overall situation again."

Xiao Qiang leaned back slightly, "Can you reveal a few characters a little? Could you not be our Minister of War?"

"It's too late for General Xiao to make a news. Our Minister of War was already imprisoned before the prince left Beijing." Dai Shulun smiled and said, "He was just a knife. The prince was slamming people outside. Who would easily show the real weight of things?"

"That's right." Xiao Qiang nodded: "Brother Dai must show some whim first, so that I can see if these big fish are enough or not?"

Dai Shulun smiled, lowered his voice and spit out a name.

Hearing this name, Xiao Qiang looked surprised. "How did I know you're not lying to me?"

"General Xiao, Dai is indeed not a good person, but lying people depends on people. Now I lie to you, what are the benefits of lying to you?" Dai Shulun shook his head, took out a letter from his arms, and held it in his hand. "I have already met this person, and I have obtained a letter he wrote to you. His handwriting should also be stored in your Hulaoguan document. If you take a pair, you will naturally be clear."

Xiao Qiang did not accept the letter, but hid in contemplation.

Deng Hong did fall, but the power of support he hid under the water was still huge. The Deng family and Qin State rose at the same time, and their century-old foundation was underestimated.

"Why choose me?"

"Is this a matter of saying? Lu must be at best a pioneer general, without the potential to be a head coach. Only you, in the eyes of these people, can still be reluctant to get into this position."

"I can't help it?" Xiao Qiang laughed furiously.

"General Xiao, do you think you are better than the prince?" Dai Shulun asked back.

Xiao Qiang suddenly stopped and said that he was stronger than Deng Hong. Even if he was thick-skinned, he could not say this.
