Chapter 115 - Door-to-door
"That's right, the sycophant spirit of a great Feng Zhen was already squatting outside the door of the Dadu Governor's Mansion like a pug, and directly greeted His Highness to the industrial base he presided over, and it was estimated that he would not come back until the evening. Zhang Shou nodded.
"That's good. Liu Xianneng nodded with satisfaction, "Although Feng Zhen is a bit of a philistine, he is still very measured in his work, as long as he is by His Royal Highness's side, nothing will happen." After a while, you will go back to the house first, and remember to make the house as luxurious as possible, and it is necessary to make the evening banquet properly organized. ”
"Brother, I don't understand, if we make this too luxurious, wouldn't it be clear to tell Your Highness that we are greedy for ink? Zhang Shou admonished with some concern.
"You kid, it's really a tendon to the end!" Liu Xianneng glared dissatisfied, and then said: "Do you really think that Your Highness will not know that we are greedy for ink? In other words, the lord of the various star fields in the frontier, which one will not take the opportunity to make some gains? Otherwise, if you come all the way to a place where this kind of bird doesn't, is it really idle to panic? These things are just not to be said in the open, you know, I know, and Your Highness also knows! If he were replaced by other inspection ministers, especially those old-fashioned scholars, it would be fine to be poor and sour, but now he is facing His Highness! With His Highness's experience in Rongbian for so many years, and sitting in the Governor's Mansion of Southern Xinjiang, will he not understand the way of this? If there is the slightest sloppiness tonight, he will be slapping His Highness in the face! You don't want your head anymore, and mine still wants to keep it for promotion and make a fortune!"
Thank you for your advice, don't worry, I'll go back to the house, and let all the lazy bones in the house move. Zhang Shou suddenly realized, and immediately nodded again and again.
"Hmm. Liu Xianneng nodded, and then said: "By the way, yesterday I already instructed the housekeeper in the mansion to ask him to recruit all the big and small stars in our star field." If you ask again, you will say that the price is arbitrary, whether it is singing, dancing, or seducing the soul, etc., anyway, as long as you can make His Highness happy, you will be rewarded!"
"No! Little brother is going now. As soon as Zhang Shou gave up his hand, he was about to turn around and leave.
When Zhang Shou was about to leave, a soldier suddenly walked in outside the door, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "My subordinates see Lord Dutong." ”
"What's the matter?" Liu Xianneng asked slowly.
Outside the door, the strange general who claimed to be Beichen speechless, with dozens of soldiers, said that he wanted to see Lord Dutong. The soldier said hurriedly.
"Beichen is speechless?" Liu Xianneng frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly got up and asked, "But the commander of the Tiger Guards, the deputy commander of Prince Ling Xiao's Guards Fleet, makes Beichen speechless?"
"This ...... The villain doesn't know. Although the other party was wearing a military uniform, he did not have a collar badge, and the villain did not know the adult. After a little hesitation, the soldier decided to tell the truth.
"Confused! Hurry, hurry up and Ben will go to meet Lord Beichen!" Liu Xianneng immediately got up, lifted his front placket and strode out, Zhang Shou didn't dare to slack off, thought about it, put down the scroll in his hand first, and then hurriedly chased after it.
Outside the garrison yamen, Beichen Wuyan didn't seem to be in a hurry, since the soldiers at the door sent the news in, they leaned on the stone carving of the town guard in a big way, and their eyes turned around as if they were very leisurely.
Liu Xianneng, who hurried to the door, saw that it was Beichen Wuyan, rushed down the steps in two steps, bowed to the end in front of Beichen Wuyan, and said urgently without waiting for his breathing to calm down a little: "The last general didn't know that Lord Beichen was visiting, and he didn't greet him from afar, so he really deserved death!"
"Don't blame those who don't know. Liu Dutong, General Zhang, please hurry up. Beichen was speechless, but he seemed to be good-tempered, and he didn't care, so he helped the two people in front of him with a smile.
Liu Xianneng, who straightened up, showed a flattering smile and asked tentatively: "It must be very hard for the general to follow His Highness's side, but today, His Highness is inspecting the industrial base, why did the general suddenly come here?"
"Hehe, you know your Highness's whereabouts very well. Beichen smiled at the corners of his speechless mouth.
The understatement was already a casual smile, but Liu Xianneng was shocked, and hurriedly bowed down again and said, "The last general said the wrong thing." The last general has no intention of inquiring about His Highness's whereabouts, but His Highness is here, and the orc rebellion has just been experienced in the star field, and the last general is afraid that there will be thieves who can't open their eyes to disturb His Highness, so he will pay more attention to where His Highness goes. I hope that the general will be clear. ”
"Well, Ben will know your faithfulness. Let's go, let's go in first, Ben will be here, naturally there is a reason, but this gate is not the place to speak. Beichen was speechless, but he didn't care about helping Liu Xianneng, and he didn't seem to take it to heart.
"Haha, look at my confused nature. When I saw that the general was so happy, I forgot to invite the general in. Please, please. Liu Xianneng hurriedly bowed down to lead the way, and he was half a position behind to follow.
Beichen was speechless and did not make it difficult, and walked into the yamen with a smile, and was invited to the first seat of the main hall after a while.
"Hurry up for tea. ”
"No need. ”
As soon as Liu Xianneng said a word, Beichen had already raised his hand to interrupt without saying a word, and then said: "This general came today to serve the military order of His Royal Highness. Please Liu Dutong open the garrison record warehouse, and he is going to check the list of fallen soldiers in the previous battles with the orcs. ”
"Huh?" Liu Xianneng was stunned for a moment, first suppressed the doubt in his heart, and then asked tentatively: "General, I don't know what His Highness wants ......?"
Beichen's speechless eyes raised slightly, glanced at Liu Xianneng, and said nonchalantly: "Liu Dutong, you have also been an official for many years, don't you even understand such a trivial matter?
"The last general will lose his words!" Liu Xianneng immediately bowed down and admitted his mistake.
"Well, that's right. Find someone at random, take Ben to the record warehouse, Ben will inquire in person. It seemed that he didn't want to waste time, Beichen got up without saying a word and prepared to walk out.
"Zhang Shou, you hurry up and lead the way for Lord Beichen. No matter what you are told, you must do it with all your heart, and you must never miss your official business. Liu Xianneng glanced at Zhang Shou, and did not stop until the latter nodded quietly in response.
Looking at Beichen's wordless disappearing figure, Liu Xianneng's already small eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself in his heart: "Suddenly you want to check the list of the dead in all major wars? What does this Highness want to do? Is there any secret in these lists? Or does Your Highness want to infer the battle damage from the number of people who died? Hehe, then Your Highness, I'm afraid you will be disappointed." ”
