Gao Quan said: "Who can say for sure about this matter, let's just wait here, now the war is going on in the Song Kingdom, who knows what will happen in a few days, maybe it won't be long before the army of the Song Kingdom will come here, and we will become my apprentices again, we are still Song people." ”

"What nonsense? Have you forgotten your position? Gao Quan, don't you forget, you are now the deputy county magistrate of Xincheng County, do you know what kind of consequences you said if you let General Ning know? Chen De glared at Gao Quan with a cold face.

Gao Quan smiled coldly.

"I said Chen De, do you really think this General Ning will come back? Although I also believe that General Ning's strength is extraordinary, but it is facing tens of thousands of Yuan troops, this is not so easy to fight, if they fail, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold here, and it will be even more difficult to appear in the Pangu area, I said Lao Chen, you still think about the embarrassing position of your Chen family in Xincheng now. ”

After Gao Quan said this, he shook his hand and returned to the new city with the other families and patriarchs.

Chen De looked at Gao Quan who didn't give him face at all, his face was very ugly, he turned his head to look at Pangu Jun in the distance, he was also very worried in his heart, although he said that he was very confident in Ning Xiaofan, he also understood that people like Ning Xiaofan would definitely do something earth-shattering, but what was going to happen now was whether the thousands of people led by Ning Xiaofan could really take down Liucheng?

If, as Gao Quan said, Ning Xiaofan could not take Liucheng, or even folded into sand.

Chen De is also very worried now, he knows very well in his heart that if Ning Xiaofan breaks the halberd and sinks into the sand, then they have said that they are afraid that they will also follow in Xincheng, and there will be a bad situation.

Why?

The current Chen family can be said to be completely dependent on Ning Xiaofan's Pangu Army, but it is precisely because of this that the relationship between their Chen family and other families has actually deteriorated.

"Master, what they said is not unreasonable, if General Ning's resignation really caused any accidents, then our Chen family is probably ...... in Xincheng."

The person who spoke was Chen Fu, Chen Fu was the old man of the Chen family, and now he was also the housekeeper of the Chen family.

At this moment, he also knew very well in his heart that what the previous families said was not nothing, after all, there were only a few thousand people under Ning Xiaofan's hands, and more importantly, they didn't know if Ning Xiaofan was only these thousands of people, at least what they saw in their eyes was just these thousands of people.

But the Pangu area that Ning Xiaofan said is hundreds of miles.

Could it be said that just a few words from Ning Xiaofan can take down hundreds of miles in the Pangu region? This is obviously a bit unreasonable, and more importantly, judging from the history of the past, it is impossible for such a person to appear, after all, if a few thousand people can control a few hundred miles of land, then this person is too powerful, at least beyond the scope of their cognition.

When Chen De heard Chen Fu's words, he also had some drums in his heart.

He was also hesitant in his heart, but at this time, suddenly a voice came.

"Ade, those who do great things must not be indecisive, they are afraid of wolves and tigers, and they will not be able to do great things at any time, you must keep this in mind. ”

When Chen De heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at the person who spoke.

This man was none other than Chen De's father.

Father Chen looked at Chen De and said: "Our Chen family can't stay in this small place in Xincheng forever, and we must not wait to die like those stinky fish and rotten shrimp, now that the Chen family is in charge of you, you have the responsibility to bring the participation to greater glory." ”

When Chen De heard his father's words, he immediately nodded and said, "Father, I understand, don't worry, father, I will definitely wait for General Ning to come back." ”

"Wrong, you are very wrong, how can you do nothing now as the magistrate of Xincheng. ”

When Chen De heard his father's words, he was immediately very puzzled and said, "Father, I don't understand what you mean, aren't you just waiting for General Ning to come back now?"

"Waiting for General Ning to come back, that's right, but you are the county magistrate, you should do some duties that you should do, for example, you promised General Ning to raise military rations before, and now, you haven't gone to any actual action, as well as refining iron ore, you should also start doing it immediately, if you wait for General Ning to come back, you are already doing these things, then, this means that you really regard his words as a holy decree, so General Ning will not trust you?"

Chen De said: "Father, I also thought so, but Gao Quan, they can't follow my orders at all now, and now they just want to see if General Ning can kill back to Xincheng." ”

"As a county magistrate, Ade's brain must be good, think about it, at this time, isn't General Ning also looking at you, he must also want to see which of these people he appointed obeyed his orders, which ones were perfunctory to him, and which ones didn't take him seriously, and you must not forget that although General Ning has gone to Liucheng with the army, there are still General Ning's people in the new city. ”

"You mean that Director Wang of the logistics department, he doesn't seem to have much power, and he wasn't there when General Ning was discussing the military, so it can be seen that General Ning doesn't seem to trust him very much. ”

"Stupid, if General Ning didn't trust him, would he hand over all the important military supplies to him? And he will live in Xincheng in the future, so to speak, the officials of Xincheng County, everyone may be the object of his supervision. ”

"That's right, father, I'll go to Director Wang now, and I'll set a table for him at noon to catch up on the old days. ”

"You stupid person, do you think I'm going to let you bribe him? General Ning has repeatedly ordered that no one is allowed to embezzle, then his people will inevitably obey the general's military orders, you only need to do what you should do as a county magistrate now, as long as you do your own part, then this is what General Ning wants to see the most, what do you think? And think about this time, isn't it the time for us to participate in showing our faces in front of General Ning? At the same time, you should be able to think about other families......

Chen De is not a stupid person, he heard his father say this, and naturally understood what his father meant.

"Father, I understand, I am now the magistrate of Xincheng County, and now I am going to the temporary county government to handle official business, and my son will not send you home. ”

Chen's father was a lot satisfied when he heard his son's words, smiled and pursed his lips, and then walked to his sedan chair and went back to Chen's house.

Chen Fu watched the old lady leave, and hurriedly looked at Chen De and said: "Master, old lady, what does this mean? I think the surname Gao just now, they don't take our Chen family in their eyes at all, and if our Chen family does something now that makes other families unhappy, in case General Ning can't come back, we will become the target of public criticism, and at that time, our Chen family will be a little troublesome." ”

Chen De smiled and said: "There will definitely be trouble, but I don't know who will go to the county government when this trouble comes!"
