"The first batch of the navy that the third master wants has been trained. A few days ago, a detachment was sent to Gangneung to assist in the battle. ”

My breathing and heartbeat paused for a moment, and then I looked at him.

“……”

Wen Ruyu seemed to have known that I would have such a reaction early on, so she just smiled faintly, and then said: "Since it is now the eldest lady who has taken over the third master's family business and all affairs, then this batch of sailors will naturally be dispatched by the eldest lady." I just heard that there was a war in Gangneung, and I was afraid that the one surnamed Zhao would not be in trouble, so I took it upon myself to send more people over, and asked the eldest lady not to blame. ”

“……”

I still didn't speak, but the excitement in my heart slowly calmed down.

In fact, before, I had such a guess in my heart - Liu Qinghan's subordinates, Chanjuan and the old man in the account room are in charge of money, and there are also officials in the family, and Zhao Yuncheng is in charge of the guard of the Yilan Courtyard, as well as the coach of the army, so what does Wen Ruyu do? What does it take to spend such a lot of money.

There is almost only one answer.

In particular, when he finally gave me an explanation, he said that "the soldiers go out of the Sanjiangkou", and when the soldiers go out of the Sanjiangkou, it is impossible to send out cavalry and infantry, only the navy, but with his temperament, he will not have that idea and do not do it, but completely leave it to me to do.

Therefore, the navy must be something he will start to do as soon as he comes, especially Bishan, which is the confluence of the two rivers, if you want to train the navy in Shudi, the best place is there, which is also why Zhao Yuncheng said that he has always liked Bishan and has not left the reason why he has lived there.

He wants to control the training of Wen Ruyu.

It is precisely because I have such a guess in my heart that I am so anxious to find Wen Ruyu to confirm this qiē; however, although I have had such a guess in my heart, when Wen Ruyu puts the answer in front of me, my mood can't help but fluctuate.

I didn't expect that Liu Qinghan had already come to this point.

After being silent for a long time, when I spoke again, I was in a trance, and only said, "You, hard work." ”

Wen Ruyu raised an eyebrow and looked at me, then laughed.

I laughed myself, but there was an indescribable sour taste in my heart, and I said softly, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise—"

"It's just a trivial matter!" Wen Ruyu waved his hand, and then said: "It's Jiangling's side, hmph, fortunately, I sent more people over, otherwise, the person surnamed Zhao is afraid that it will be a big deal." His little bit of three-legged cat kung fu, cut-"

“……”

From the first day I arrived in Bishan, I knew that he and Zhao Yuncheng were at odds, and the two of them did not have any grudges, maybe it was a bit -- the meaning of "martial" people being inferior to each other? Probably for this reason, he was unwilling to let Zhao Yuncheng take the lead in occupying Jiangling alone, so he sent someone over on his own initiative, which was also a small test.

I vaguely felt that although this person was extraordinary, he was a little domineering, like a child.

However, such a child is the best to control.

I smiled and said, "So what's next for you?"

As soon as he heard my question, he immediately said: "What the third master meant before was that the training of the navy army could not be stopped, he needed a total of three, each with about 3,000 people, and now that the first one has been trained, he is waiting-"

He said, looking at me.

The meaning is very clear, just wait for me to speak, and I will also get the money.

I didn't answer him immediately, but reached out to the table and took a cup of water to drink, Wen Ruyu looked at me a little inexplicably, until the entrance of the cold water, I said softly: "Did the third master explain to you before, after these teams are trained, who will be in command?"

"Of course it's me!"

He said directly, and after speaking, he looked at the unmoved expression on my face again, and immediately understood what was coming, and hurriedly said: "Of course, I am also acting to the third master, and I want the eldest lady to speak." ”

I smiled: "But this time, you didn't wait for me to speak." ”

When he heard this, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and he hurriedly stood up: "Miss......"

I smiled and waved at him, "Alright, sit down." It's not the first time we've met today, but it's the first time we've talked. It's better to put everything out and say it so that no one misunderstands it in the future. ”

Cautiously, he sat down again.

I said: "I won't pursue this matter with you, but you must know that any matter about sending troops, no matter how big or small, must first get my permission, I am not good at training troops and fighting, but if it is related to the overall situation, you better not skip me." This is not a trivial matter for you and Zhao Yuncheng to have a verbal dispute. It's just that Xichuan has a Yan family army, if there is any Wen family army and Zhao family army, then the trouble will be by my own side. ”

This time, there was no smile on his face, and he said solemnly: "I understand." ”

I nodded, and then asked, "Second team, you're going to start working now?"

"Yes. ”

"At the account office, I've already said hello, ask for money, and I'll give it. ”

"Thank you, Miss. ”

As he spoke, he looked up at me again, and I also looked at him, with a somewhat complicated expression, and said softly: "Wen Ruyu, Ling Zun him-"

I was a little hesitant and didn't know how to ask, but fortunately he completely understood, and immediately said, "Actually, I also want to sue Miss Sù." My father had done something in the Yan family - to be exact, it didn't work, but he did move his family to Xichuan because of Master Yan. ”

My spirits lifted: "Really?"

"Yes. He nodded: "My father said that Master Yan wanted to supervise the training of the navy in Xichuan back then, so he invited him from Jiangnan." Our family was an official in the former dynasty, supervising the training of the navy for generations. ”

I see.

My heart suddenly brightened, but I still didn't understand: "Then Ling Zun didn't succeed in the end?"

"Yes. ”

"Why?"

He glanced at me with a somewhat complicated expression: "Actually, this matter was already prepared back then, but Master Yan suddenly ordered it to be terminated and never mentioned it. ”

I was shocked: "Why?"

He frowned slightly, and said, "This--I was too young at the beginning, and my father didn't tell me the reason, and he ended up depressed because of this incident. But—"

"But what?"

"But at that time, everyone speculated, maybe it was because," he looked at me again, "maybe it was because of Mrs. Yan's death." ”

"My mother?!"

"Yes. ”

“……”

I was a little dazed for a while—it turned out that when my mother passed away, that is, when I left Xichuan, my father gave up supervising the training of the navy in Xichuan.

Although now, I have too many clues pointing to the beginning, and I suspect that my mother's "death" may be an illusion, but at that time, I think this matter should not be known to too many people, so what is the reason why my father gave up supervising the training of the navy? Is it really because of my mother's "death"?

|

I talked to him for a long time, until the sun set in the west, in addition to figuring out some of the previous things, I also roughly explained what I had to do to understand, no matter what the strategic significance of Liu Qinghan's plan to go out of Sanjiangkou before, now that I have occupied Jiangling, Pei Yuanxiu has also been locked up by us, Xichuan can't get rid of it this time, and he has to deal with the people of Jinling.

How much of a role his navy will play in the future, maybe even he can't imagine it.

So, I gave him a handwritten letter and asked him to hand it over to Lao Yu in the account room, Wen Ruyu didn't stay, and was about to leave before it was dark, I originally asked him to rest for one night, but he also refused.

He walked out, and stepped on the mound of dirt on the stone slab outside the door, which was left by the old man Ma before, and he seemed to be stuck in the mire, and the whole person trembled, and immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of his clothes, and then threw it away.

Seeing that he had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, he stopped again and looked back at me: "Miss." ”

"Huh?"

He said: "Miss, that Pei Yuanxiu is scheming, Miss, it's better to kill him quickly." Anyway, Xichuan and Jinling will definitely go to war, and whether he dies or not is already a trivial matter. ”

“……”

I was stunned by his too straightforward words, the people around me more or less know my relationship with Pei Yuanxiu, as for how to deal with him, in fact, everyone is waiting for me to make a statement, but no one said the word "kill" so directly.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the door, but I felt a chill in my head.

Wen Ruyu nodded, then turned around and left.

When he walked away, Su Su walked in from outside, saw me standing by the door, with a solemn expression, and hurriedly walked over: "Miss, what's wrong with you?

She grabbed my arm nervously and looked me up and down, and I waved my hand weakly: "I'm fine." ”

In order not to let her continue to ask, I immediately said, "How is Shuyuan?"

"She, she was probably too uncomfortable just now, frightened again, a little feverish, I asked the doctor to give her medicine, and now she is lying down and resting. Don't worry, Miss. ”

"That's good. ”

I nodded, but Su Su still looked at my face and said softly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

I just glanced at her, and was a little disturbed by her big eyes, and said, "I'm fine." Let's go, let's go. ”

"Are you going to see Zhao Shuyuan?"

"No, I want to see my aunt. ”

In fact, originally, what I wanted to see the most was this aunt, but the appearance of Wen Ruyu made me temporarily let go of the things over there, and now I was asked by Su Su like this, plus the things in my heart, I was even more confused by Wen Ruyu's words, I can only go to see her, maybe I can better understand what I should do next.
