An hour later, Mao Chengming walked into the hall with a very nervous mood.

Zhou Xian waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and smiled faintly, "Deputy General Mao, have you found everyone? Why didn't you bring them in together?"

A layer of cold sweat broke out from Mao Chengming's forehead and he stammered: "Sir, they..., they have all asked for leave and are not in the camp now."

"Oh, that's right! None of the twenty people is there, won't this look too strange?"

Seeing that Mao Chengming was still standing, Zhou Xian said again: "Person General Mao asked to sit down first. This Mr. Zhuge is a famous divine chasing man in the world and is good at meeting each other. I am lucky enough to invite him today. Why don't Deputy General Mao take this opportunity to meet him once?"

Seeing that Zhou Xian was always smiling, Mao Chengming felt a little scared in his heart, and refused to say, "I have never believed in the affairs of ghosts and gods. I will forget about this face!"

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "The things of ghosts and gods are true or false, real or false. To be honest, I don't believe it very much. But I feel that believing is better than not, what if it is true! As the saying goes, the fruits of today were planted in the previous life. Does Vice General Mao have no idea what kind of fruits he will get from all the things he did before? This Mr. Zhuge is a strange man in the world. His cleverness not only lies in his accurate appearance, but also gives corresponding solutions. Vice General Mao might as well listen. If he still doesn't believe it, just treat it as a joke for the banquet in the coming day."

Mao Chengming heard the implication of Zhou Xian's words, and wanted to use the Zhuge Xiangshi in front of him to remind him something. He looked at Zhuge Xuan, with a fairy spirit and extraordinary demeanor, and indeed had a model of a master. He made a cruel decision and said, "Thank you, sir, that's the last time."

Zhou Xian nodded with a smile and gestured to Zhuge Xuan with his eyes.

Zhuge Xuan approached Mao Chengming, and looked at each other again, touched his hands again. After about a cup of tea, he finally sighed and sat back on his seat without saying a word.

Mao Cheng knew that the person was found by Zhou Xian, but he was just passing the message on behalf of Zhou Xian. But seeing that Zhuge Xuan didn't say a word now, he still had a slap in his heart, swallowed and said, "Mr. Zhuge, what's wrong? Why don't you speak anymore?"

Zhou Xian also said: "Mr. Zhuge, just say whatever you have. Deputy General Mao was the general of the Ming Dynasty. He has licked blood from the knife for decades and has never believed in ghosts and gods. Whether it is good or bad, you can say it, it's nothing."

Zhou Xian said that Mao Chengming was a little blushed. Although he was the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, he had never been to the battlefield, let alone licking blood from the knife and waiting for death for more than ten years.

Zhuge Xuan shook his head and sighed, "Since both of you said that, the old Taoist said bluntly. Deputy General Mao had a wide mouth and a full heavenly court. He was originally a rich and noble appearance. However, when the old Taoist looked at his palm, he found that there was a celestial fork in the palm of his hand, pointing to two different paths. One of them became wider and wider, but the other..."

Mao Chengming raised his left hand and was watching carefully, hoping to find out where the sky fork was. At this time, he suddenly found Zhuge Xuan stopped. He was anxious and asked quickly: "What's wrong with the other path, what's wrong with the other path?"

Zhuge Xuan sighed and said, "The other way is..., a dead end."

Mao Chengming grew up and swallowed and spitted again, his face turned pale.

Zhou Xian saw that Mao Chengming was a little scared, and turned to Zhuge Xuan with a little anxious expression and asked, "Mr. Zhuge, what is the solution?"

Zhuge Xuan shook his head and said, "There is no way to solve it, it's just a choice. If you choose the right path, it will be a happy road in the future. If you choose the wrong path, then the person will be gone, and there is no need to consider anything else. And if I observe that Tianchao, it should appear soon. Recently, please think twice before doing anything, and be sure to choose the right path."

Zhuge Xuan talked a lot until Zhou Xianming and Zhang Huai invited him to the side hall.

Seeing that there were only two people left in the hall, Zhou Xian moved down from the main seat and sat opposite him. He lifted the teapot and poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "False words may not be true, so Deputy General Mao doesn't have to take it too seriously."

Mao Chengming frowned and forced a smile and said, "What the sir is saying."

Zhou Xian picked up the teacup, drank it carefully, and smiled at Mao Chengming and said, "Deputy General Mao, if I say you must find those twenty people, what will you do next?"

Mao Chengming laughed dryly and said, "Sir, this..."

Zhou Xian leaned back and said slowly: "Zhang Xiong, from Bazhou, Hebei, born in the 20th year of Jiajing. Xiong Sanjie, from Jinan, Shandong, born in the 2nd year of Longqing. Ma Jian, from Datong, Shanxi, born in the 1st year of Wanli. Deputy General Mao, do you want me to continue talking? The twenty people on the list are one hundred years old, and the youngest is seventy years old. You won't tell me that they are still playing in the army now?"

Mao Chengming looked ugly and lowered his head without saying anything.

Zhou Xian continued, "I have seen people who have been paid for empty wages, but it is rare for you to be like you who have not even let go of people who have died for decades. The court owes border troops, but never owes the Beijing camp at all. And what you do is really a shame for the soldiers. I am going to report all these situations to the emperor, and you are just waiting to accept the crime! You go out and arrange the affairs of the camp now, and then go to the Ministry of War with me later!"

Zhou Xian said harshly, and Mao Chengming pulled his collar impatiently. If he entered the Ministry of War, the conviction would be certain. Perhaps he would never have a chance to come back in his life? He was silent for a moment, stood up and said to Zhou Xian urgently: "Sir, as you said, these are all bad debts for decades. At that time, his subordinates had not served in the Beijing Camp, so how could you count them all over us! Also, the head and deputy generals of Shenshu Camp, Mr. Xue and Mr. Wang, why did you want to send his subordinates to the Ministry of War!"

Zhou Xian said indifferently: "Mr. Xue and Uncle Wang both have titles. Do you have one? Your Majesty was furious and must find someone to be responsible for this. Do you think it is easy for Your Majesty to deal with them or you are easy for you. If you are the deputy general of the Shenshu Battalion, killing you alone is enough to shock the generals in the battalion. I can also give your explanation to Your Majesty without offending them. If you can't even see this clearly, I really don't know how you climbed to the position of Deputy General of the Ming Dynasty?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mao Chengming shouted wildly: "This is not fair. Although I have also eaten some empty salary, I have all taken small heads. The real big heads have always been taken by the two of their masters. You don't punish them, but hold me a little person, why?"

Zhou Xian looked up at Mao Chengming and said in a very plain tone: "Because I can't afford to offend them, but I can afford to offend you, and your position is the highest in Shenshu Camp except them. Although your elder brother was named Fu Qiang Bo, I heard that your relationship with him has always been bad, and I think he will definitely not try his best to save you! So, Deputy General Mao, this is all fate, you can admit it! And I advise you that it is best not to involve Mr. Xue and Mr. Wang anymore. Perhaps they will take care of your family after you die because they are grateful to you!"

Mao Chengming sat down on the chair with a pale face as if it was paper, and he kept breathing heavily.

Zhou Xian sighed and said, "Mr. Mao and I have no grudges and no grudges, and I do not want to do this evil thing. But Your Majesty ordered me to investigate the Beijing camp. If I don't give him an explanation, then I will definitely be the one who will be punished next. You or someone else. Please ask Deputy Mao to go to the underworld and not to hate Zhou."

Mao Chengming smiled bitterly and said, "So this is what Mr. Zhuge calls a dead end." When he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said to Zhou Xian: "Sir, Mr. Zhuge said that it is a fork road, one dead end road leading to, and the other road leading to Kangzhuang Avenue. Sir, where is the other road?"

Zhou Xian smiled faintly and said, "Person General Mao asked me, who should I ask again!"

Mao Chengming stood up and said to the end: "Sir, you asked Mr. Zhuge to remind me before that there must be some way to protect your life. As long as you can help the villain overcome this hurdle, the villain will definitely follow your leader in the future. Please pity the villain and give it the next way to save his life."

Seeing that Mao Chengming was not too stupid, Zhou Xian waved his hand to signal him to sit down and asked with a laugh: "Deputy General Mao, how long have you been the deputy general in Shenshu Camp?"

"Sir, it's been more than ten years."

Zhou Xian nodded and said, "More than ten years, it's been so long. I think it's too inexpensive to be a deputy general with your qualifications. I wonder if you have any interest in walking upwards?"

"What do you mean by sir?"

"As the senior officer of the imperial court, I came to Shenshu Camp. Xue and Wang refused to welcome him and refused to give up for various reasons. On the other hand, you, Deputy General Mao, have been deceiving me and do not want me to know the truth about Shenshu Camp, but you have given me enough respect. From my heart, I would rather take this opportunity to deal with them. But the teacher needs Deputy General Mao, you, to help me. When you knock them down, I will recommend you to Your Majesty as the leader of Shenshu Camp."

Mao Chengming said with a shocked expression: "You are going to convict Mr. Xue and Mr. Wang?"

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "What, I'm scared? Then you should go to the Ministry of War with me!"

Mao Chengming waved his hand quickly and said, "No, no, no, I just feel that this is a little difficult to do. Also, after all, I will still stay in the Beijing Camp in the future. If I do that, even if I can become the head general of the Shenshu Camp, how can I lead the troops in the future!"

Zhou Xian nodded and smiled, "Mr. Mao is really considering it thoroughly. Let me do this! Tell me, which middle and upper-level general in the Shenshu Camp is usually more evil, and I will make everyone mistakenly think that he told me everything. In this way, you can completely stay out of the matter, but tell me everything about the Shenshu Camp."
