Chapter 276: Lei Qinghuang and Thunder Ming
Lei Qinghuang is not an ordinary military attachΓ©, his official position is not low, and he even has a two-entry brick house of his own in the barracks.
The outer one is for office and reception purposes, and the inner one is for the living room.
Although the rooms here are ordinary blue brick houses, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this place is very different from the barracks where the samurai lived.
When they arrived at the reception room, everyone sat down, and immediately two young samurai came in and poured water.
Hua Duxiu secretly looked at the room, except for two maps hanging on the wall, one large and one small, the four powdered walls were bare, and there was a desk, a few chairs, and a small tea table for drinking tea in the room.
There was a tin cabinet against the wall, with iron locks hanging from it, presumably containing valuables such as documents.
In addition, there was nothing else in the empty room, and it was almost the same to say that it was a house with four walls.
Lei Qinghuang chatted with Lou Qin for a few words, and looked at Hua Duxiu: "Brother Hua, I heard that you are the military attache of the Mobei Governor's Mansion?"
Hua Duxiu's face did not change and said: "Yes, although I am an imperial military attachΓ©, I am not a real job, I don't need to lead troops to fight, I am not the same as brother-in-law." β
Lei Qinghuang said, "Can I take a look at your token?"
Hua Duxiu had no choice but to take out the token from her arms and hand it to Lei Qinghuang.
Heh, this guy is quite cautious?
Lei Qinghuang took Hua Duxiu's token, first reversed the weight, tried the feel, and judged that this was genuine, not a forgery.
Then look at the handwriting on it.
On the obverse, on the left is written "Captain Officer of the Colonel of Qinci Walking", and on the right is written "Edited by the Northern Boundary of the Desert." In the middle is the coat of arms of the Dragon Empire.
On the back, there is a big ancient character "flower".
Lei Qinghuang looked at Hua Duxiu with disbelief: "Brother Hua, your official position is specially given by the royal family?"
Hua Duxiu said: "Not bad. β
Lei Qinghuang asked, "Why?"
Hua Duxiu said: "I can't say it explicitly. β
Lei Qinghuang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and returned the token to Hua Duxiu: "Brother Hua, although you are a vain position, what is your position? What is your specific mission?
Hua Duxiu said secretly, brother, you are too cautious, right?
It's a pity that I didn't bring the letter of introduction from my Uncle Peng, otherwise I would have shown it to you and scared you to death!
There is Uncle Peng's personal signature on it, as well as the big seal of the Governor's Mansion of the Trapped Demon Valley.
I didn't bring it!
Young Master Hua's belongings were basically left in Ji Zong, so he ran out with the little fat man.
Hua Duxiu shook his head and said: "My official position is 'palace general', in fact, there are many positions before, but they haven't been long-lasting. β
Lei Qinghuang said: "The palace general? I see you're young, and you've been a other officer?"
Hua Duxiu said: "Brother-in-law, don't look down on young people. 'Captain of the Rite Rider', do you know?"
Lei Qinghuang: "You know, you have done it?"
Hua Duxiu nodded: "Yes." Have you heard of the 'Taifu Temple Horse Factory Co-Leader'?"
Lei Mingqi was stunned: "...... Have you heard, and you have done it too?"
Hua Duxiu said: "I did." What about 'appeasing the envoy and the secretary'?"
Lei Mingji: "......"
Hua Duxiu said: "It's not a secret, I have done all the above official positions, but I have done them for a relatively short time." I am a free and lazy person, unrestrained, but I am strong in martial arts, extremely talented, and the governor of Ma has high expectations for me, so he granted me the position of 'palace general', and let me do some secret tasks that I am good at. β
Hua Duxiu's words were not ashamed, and he had the meaning of pointing out the country, not only the Lei brothers were stunned, but even Shen Lijia was a little confused.
Hua Duxiu, he has heard of these job changes.
Although Shen Lijia had been arranging for people to release pigeons and salutes outside when he was ordained, he heard about it afterwards.
After all, the person who dares to refuse the imperial prince in person and repeatedly asks for a change of position, looking at the entire Nine Realms of the empire, I am afraid that Young Master Hua is the only one here.
Shen Lijia said secretly, brother-in-law, isn't your tenure a little short, you just open your mouth, just open your mouth, and those positions are on your head, I'm afraid you haven't even stayed for a cup of tea, right?
Seeing that Lei Qinghuang was a little confused, Hua Duxiu asked rhetorically: "Brother-in-law Lou, I think you are very good here, you actually have an independent office, dare to ask what is the position of your brother-in-law in the army?"
Lei Qinghuang coughed lightly and said, "I am the deputy commander of the Governor's Mansion in Qingjin City, and I assist the Commander in taking charge of the garrison in this city. β
Hua Duxiu asked: "In this way, how many people are in charge?"
Lei Qinghuang said: "A thousand people." β
Hua Duxiu exclaimed: "Amazing, amazing! Brother-in-law, I see that you are no more than thirty years old, and you can bring so many warriors, you must be very powerful in martial arts?"
Lei Qinghuang said: "So-so, it's okay." β
Hua Duxiu asked, "What are your specific responsibilities?"
Lei Qinghuang said: "Crack down on robbers, keep Qingjin City peaceful, and protect the official roads along the line." β
Hua Duxiu frowned and said: "Qingjin City is quite peaceful, but unfortunately the official roads along the line are not smooth enough, it is simply a flow of bandits, and the robbers are still not enough." β
"Not to mention anything else, there is a bandit castle forty or fifty miles north of Qingjin City, you should defeat them. β
Lei Qinghuang's old face flushed: "...... Ahem. β
Lou Qin saw that the more the two of them talked, the more angry they became, and quickly interjected:
"Can you two stop talking about the affairs of the army first, the playboy is not an outsider, he is from the Trapped Demon Valley, and he is the nephew of our old governor. β
Lei Qinghuang frowned: "Trapped Demon Valley?Old Governor?Governor Peng?"
Hua Duxiu nodded: "That's right, my family is in the Trapped Demon Valley, Governor Peng is my uncle, Peng Yaoyao is my sister-in-law, Hadan Battle and Peng Lu are my eldest brothers, brother-in-law, do you know them?"
Lei Qinghuang immediately changed his expression and said excitedly: "I must know each other! I have come to this point, it was Brother Hadan who brought me out!"
"I think Brother Hua has a strange accent, it turns out that you are from the Trapped Demon Valley, is the old governor okay? Is Brother Hadan okay? You...... How did you get acquainted with them? Old Governor, it hasn't been more than two years since they arrived in the Trapped Demon Valley, right?"
Hua Duxiu said secretly, look at your appearance, you were wary of me in every way before, as long as you mention Governor Peng, this face will become too fast.
Hua Duxiu briefly talked about the complicated situation after Governor Peng's arrival, and briefly brushed over the past of Hua's Dart Bureau and Governor Peng's cooperation to suppress the indigenous forces.
Although the Snake Valley and the Trapped Demon Valley are thousands of miles apart, the government has its own set of intelligence transmission systems, and Lei Qinghuang actually knows about some of Governor Peng's actions and actions in the Trapped Demon Valley.
Hua Duxiu introduced it from the perspective of their Hua's dart game, and the two sides corroborate, where does Lei Qinghuang still have doubts?
The relationship between the people immediately became acquainted.
Lei Qinghuang pointed at his chubby younger brother and said, "Brother Hua, this is my younger brother, Lei Mingji, a disciple of the Changchun Gate of the Black Forest, and his ability is okay." He came to visit my relatives here, and after coming for three months, he should also return to the sect. The last time I mentioned this matter in correspondence with my insider, you came here just in time to let Ming Ji be your guide and take you south through the Snake Valley, through the Black Forest to the Trapped Demon Valley. β
Hua Duxiu said: "This is very good, there is Brother Lao Mingji." β
Although Lei Mingwei didn't speak much, his demeanor was quite confident and indifferent, vaguely extraordinary.
Lei Mingwei said: "I am also going south in Japan, and with two friends traveling with me, I will not be lonely on the road." β
Lei Qinghuang asked: "Brother Hua, Brother Shen, depending on the age of the two of you, do you have the age of a weak crown?"
Hua Duxiu said: "No, I am eighteen, he is seventeen." β
Lei Mingwei sighed: "It's good to be young, my brother is the same as you, and he is eighteen years old this year." However, he was sent by his father to practice martial arts in the Black Forest since he was a child, and our brothers are getting together less and leaving more, and this time we are separated, I don't know how long it will take to see each other again. β
Hua Duxiu said with a smile: "Young people, what can you do if you are always guarding your parents and brothers at home? β
Lei Qinghuang asked: "Brother Hua, the insider said that you were attacked on the way when you came, and it was not an attack by a bandit group?"
Hua Duxiu nodded: "That's right." Brother-in-law, I'm trying to ask you for confirmation of this. β
Lei Qinghuang asked, "What is the matter of verification?"
Hua Duxiu asked: "Ancestral Realm Cult/Sect 'Iron King Temple', have you heard of it?"
Lei Qinghuang frowned slightly: "'Iron King Temple'? I've heard people mention this name, but they haven't done anything big. I heard that this organization is full of talents, and they travel between the six generals' mansions, and many of them are the guests of the town guard generals, as for their intentions, this is unknown. β
Hua Duxiu secretly said that the prince of the empire was going to attack them, and the reason was that they stirred up trouble in the Snake Valley and shook the foundation of the empire's rule. As the deputy commander of a city, you didn't see the ambitions and crimes of the Iron King Temple, I really don't know whether to say that you are lonely and unheard, or whether to say that the Iron King Temple is well disguised?
Of course, the center of the empire has its own intelligence system, and there are some things that the generals below should not know, and it is normal that they are not reported in time.
Hua Duxiu said: "Brother-in-law, I won't tell you, one of the important responsibilities I shoulder is related to the 'Iron King Temple'. You have to pay attention, this organization is not small, and even a big war will soon break out in the Ancestral Miao Realm, and the imperial army will be dispatched to exterminate them, whether they will take the opportunity to do something in Snake Valley is not good to say. β
Lei Qinghuang was stunned for a moment: "The imperial army is going to launch a big war in the ancestral Miao realm, it's impossible, the empire's goal in the next year or two is not there." β
Hua Duxiu was stunned: "Not in the ancestral realm?"
Lei Qinghuang said: "This matter is said to be confidential, but it is not a secret, and there are many troops under the Governor's Mansion from all walks of life, and everyone knows about it." In the next year or two, the empire will send a large army to recover the overseas islands. β
Hua Duxiu was taken aback: "Recovering the sea moon?"
He thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that when he first arrived at the northern boundary of the harbor, the camp that covered the sky and the sun in the harbor, and the huge warships.
Hua Duxiu asked: "To recover Canghaiyue, are you going to set off from the western port of the Mobei Boundary?"
Lei Qinghuang said: "Not bad. The scale of the battle will be immense, the gathering of troops and logistical preparations are still ongoing, and when everything is ready, the Empire will regain the sea with the power of thunder, and the rest of the Empire's rebels will be enough to deter the rest of the Empire's rebels. β
Hua Duxiu thought secretly in her heart.
What does the Emperor of the Imperial Empire's extermination of the Iron King Temple of the Ancestral Miao Realm have to do with the upcoming Battle of Canghaiyue?
Is it to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, or to fight the outside/must be safe and inside?
What will be the impact on Master Hua?
It's not that Young Master Hua inexplicably cares about the politics/bureau.
In fact, if he wants to collect all the map fragments, he must deal with the Iron King Temple and the Empire.
According to the information passed down by my father, there is a fragment of the map, one from the Hua family, one from the Leopard King Gate in Mobei, and one from the Five Elements Heaven and Earth Realm, which is within the scope of Young Master Hua's short-term attack.
In addition, there are fragments in the distant Red Underworld Sin Valley, the Iron King Temple of the Ancestral Miao Realm, and the Great Palace of the Imperial Wonder Realm, but it is unknown how many fragments there are in these organizations or regions.
Although he didn't know the exact location and exact amount, Hua Duxiu was sure that if he wanted to unlock the secret of the thousand-year-old demonic qi in the Trapped Demon Valley, the truth that the Hua family's eyes were infected, and even the cause of the nightmare that had plagued him for several years, and know what happened to the ancestral mansion and old well when he was a teenager, he had to collect all the map fragments.
This is the fate of several generations of the Hua family, and it is also what he Hua Duxiu is willing to do.
If you don't grab the goods in the Iron King Temple and the Grand Palace, Hua Duxiu will definitely not have the opportunity to collect all the fragments.
Therefore, he had to pay attention to the development of the current situation, and think about how this development would affect his collection of map fragments, and what he could do about it.
In addition, the political situation in Snake Valley is inseparable from the Peng family, and the political situation in Mobei is related to Ji Zong, these are all families he cares about very much, with his relatives and friends, he must think about everything that will happen in the future, what kind of impact will it have on the people he cares about?
