"Of course not, I solicit doormen, naturally for other purposes. Ye Shikai didn't lie, of course, even if he really said that recruiting a guest was a swollen face and a fat man, Shangguan Jian would definitely suspect that the two were too familiar with each other, they had been fighting together for nearly two years, and they knew each other's personalities well.

"What is it? ”

"Self-defense. Ye Shikai said two words lightly.

"What, Lao Ye, I heard you right, you recruited those brave men, it turned out to be self-defense. Shangguan Jian said excitedly, and he looked surprised when he heard this result.

"You're wrong, I'm not just recruiting reckless men, I'm also recruiting strategists, and sometimes a clever plan is better than a thousand troops, isn't it? Ye Shikai added.

"Yes...... But that's not the point, you still didn't say what you recruited these people to prevent, to prevent thieves. Shangguan Jian continued, "Besides, there are one or two thousand guards in the guards, and it is enough to surround your mansion three times, what else do you need to guard." ”

"Defend the lord. Ye Shikai decided not to hide it from Shangguan Jian, in this era, how rare it is to have a loyal brother, when Shangguan Jian was willing to rebel against the court with him, he was ready to live and die together, dig out his heart and lungs, be loyal to his liver and courage, if Ye Shikai conceals it again, it will be his mistake.

"What. Shangguan Jian turned his head to look around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he leaned into his ear and whispered, "Lord Fang, why?" ”

"Shangguan, it won't be long before I plan to leave. ”

"Leave, where are you going to go. Shangguan Jian asked rhetorically.

"Go to a place that no one knows about, and live a good life with Ling'er there. Ye Shikai's tone was very serious, "Especially not to let the lord know." ”

"Old Ye, are you worried...... The lord won't let you leave. ”

"Those who know me, Shangguan Jianya. ”

"Lao Ye, you are clearly going to confront the lord. Shangguan Jian immediately asked.

"It's not counting, recruiting these doormen, one is to protect my safety, the other is to give me advice, and besides, it is not illegal to solicit doormen, and the lord can't control me. Ye Shikai sighed, if it weren't for Mi Wen using He Linghan to blackmail him many times, how could he have eaten enough to recruit so many people.

"Lao Ye, in fact, your worries are right, when the lord reorganized the troops, although he replenished the soldiers for us, he arranged cronies in important positions, and I faintly had a bad premonition. Shangguan Jian continued, "If you are really worried about your safety, then I will put my guards under your command, and you don't need them to follow you every day in the barracks anyway." ”

"Thank you. Ye Shikai thanked him, being able to make such a brother is a blessing in three lives.

..................................................................

Following.

"In the next Yu Lian, the Dongjun people's clan, I heard that General Ye was loyal and righteous, and I came to defect. ”

"In Xia Lin Lingzhi, the people of Jixian County, came to defect to the general. ”

...............

What Ye Shikai didn't expect was that there were more people who came over the next day, and the scene was more "grand" than yesterday, many of them were outsiders, it seems that they also heard the news of Ye Shikai's recruitment, and rushed over thousands of miles, Ye Shikai didn't expect his fame to be so big.

Of course, like all "exams", Ye Shikai is admitted on the basis of merit, after all, his family is thin, and he doesn't have so much money to support "three thousand diners", at most he will recruit about a thousand people, of course, if it is a cultivator, then it is another matter.

Drive, drive, drive.

"The lord has arrived. ”

Suddenly, there was a shout outside, and the people nearby knelt down one after another, and looked at the source of the sound, Mi Wen rode a war horse to the door, with a playful smile on his face, and Ye Shikai led the doorman who had just been recruited to go out to greet him.

"See the lord. Ye Shikai said.

"I heard that you are recruiting talents here, and the scene is even more lively than the market, so why don't you invite me to come and see it. Mi Wen didn't get angry, but laughed and teased.

"The lord is busy with all kinds of things every day, and after I think about it, I won't bother the lord. ”

"As a general, why do you need so many doormen. Mi Wen asked suddenly.

"I'm a general now, but that doesn't mean I'll be in the future, isn't it. Ye Shikai had already thought of the various questions that Mi Wen might ask in his mind, and he had already thought of the answers, so he didn't act flustered.

"That's right, going to the battlefield is hard and tiring, if you accidentally lose your life, it's terrible, where can you compare to those ministers under me, you just need to come and report every day. ”

"Thank you for your concern. In the face of Mi Wen's almost sarcastic tone, Ye Shikai was also unhurried, and responded to all changes with no change.

"Why, don't you invite me in and sit down? ”、

"My lord, please. ”

Ye Shikai led Mi Wen into this "mansion", which is not so much a mansion as a "fortress", there are rooms for people to stay, as well as warehouses for storing food and weapons, and of course there are several study rooms, which can be said to have everything, of course, if you want to buy such a large area, it will also make Ye Shikai "hemorrhage".

Mi Wen set his eyes on the brave men not far away, the weather was still a little cold, but they were all shirtless, carrying hundreds of catties of boulders, each of them was a strong man, if they were armed, they were all warriors with one as ten.

"General Ye, you already have guards in the army, why do you still recruit these strong men, do you think those guards are not qualified? ”

"Haha, my lord, you live in Linxiang City, there are tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards in the city, there are so many soldiers and horses, and you came out of the palace to visit my mansion and brought four or five thousand cavalry guards, are you worried that tens of thousands of troops are not qualified to protect your safety? Ye Shikai asked a rhetorical question, so that Mi Wen immediately stopped, frankly speaking, soliciting guests in Linxiang City is tantamount to provoking Mi Wen's anger, here is under her nose, but Ye Shikai is betting that she will not do it easily, but when she arrived today, it really made him feel shocked, followed by five thousand iron horsemen, this is in the city, if you rush to kill the street, not to mention these hundreds of strong men, even if he transfers his guards again, it will be useless, but fortunately, Mi Wen did not do it.

"I have something to ask you, this is not the place to talk, come back to the government with me. Qi Wen said lightly, and the strong men who recruited faintly felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and slowly walked to the door, holding the sword and gun tightly in their hands.

"Ahem, get out of the way, I have some official business to talk about with the lord, and since it is a business matter, I naturally have to talk about it in the official mansion. Ye Shikai waved his hand and motioned for everyone to disperse.
