Chapter 138

Jiang Yu smiled bitterly: "General Nian wants to control the right to speak in Yunnan Mansion and refuses to give us a chance, so we have to be mountain bandits." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info As you can see, we mountain bandits can't even fill our stomachs, let alone do what we want to be. ”

Xia Liansheng didn't fully believe his words, thinking of the wreckage of his carriage in Xiao Fan's mouth, he sneered and said: "You don't have to pretend to be pitiful, don't say if you're hungry or not, you must have something that General Nian is afraid of, otherwise he won't let you be good." ”

Jiang Yu smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that Lord Xia is also going to misunderstand us, I wonder if Lord Xia can sit down with me and have a good chat for the sake of my companion who has not harmed the adult?" ”

Seeing that Xia Liansheng was about to agree, Zhang Xuan took the lead and asked, "What about the two people who are with me?" ”

Hao Han answered behind Jiang Yu: "There are so many of you, you can't eat our dry food for nothing every day, recently Lord Xia invented the red lotus cake, and they were dragged to work by us." ”

As soon as Xia Liansheng heard this, he knew that they must have been pulled away as donkeys, and immediately explained to Zhang Xuan in detail the method of red cakes, and the two quickly understood. But after all, he is a captive, and it is better to be a laborer than to be a flower fertilizer, and he is still alive.

So Xia Liansheng and Jiang Yu returned to the original cabin, and a few people sat on chairs around the table, listening to Jiang Yu talk about some things: "Dali is okay over there, but it's not safe to go further to the northeast, and there are some bandits over there, you'd better not go over, otherwise you can get out of the way, it's hard to say." ”

"No wonder they didn't do anything to me all the way, if I just ran to take office alone, maybe I would die from the bandits over there!" Fan Ning said angrily, "Yuanbao has been gone for a long time, and I don't know what happened now." ”

"I suddenly want to ask, how did those people know about the situation in Dali?" Zhang Xuan's mind has also been online.

"I have to say, my guess may be true, Nian Qianyao has a connection with Wang Ziteng, and Nian Qianyao told Wang Ziteng about the situation here." Xia Liansheng said in a deep voice, "Maybe my assassination is an exception, they don't know that Fanning is with me. Or rather, they thought that Fanning couldn't survive when he went there, and they didn't take him to heart at all. ”

Fan Ning was suddenly stimulated, "Lao Tzu is also an official, and they don't take people seriously." ”

"They only have the heir in their eyes, where can they see other things, so it's okay, Fanning is still relatively safe."

"We're in the bandits' den, where are we safe?" Zhang Xuan said.

"Ahem!" Jiang Yu coughed loudly, Zhang Xuan and Fan Ning shut up, a little embarrassed, and Xia Liansheng said, "I plan to stay here for the time being to help Brother Jiang train his soldiers, what are you going to do?" ”

"Lian Sheng, why don't you go back and tell everyone that you are still alive?" Zhang Xuan said, "What if Qianyao uses the excuse that I was caught by bandits and goes up the mountain, and the imperial court sends people to encircle and suppress here?" ”

"They shouldn't come, since we're all here, they definitely want us to die, as long as Brother Jiang doesn't ask the court for anything, they will think we're dead at most." Xia Liansheng said, "I want to join forces with Brother Jiang, and I don't want to be manipulated again." ”

Jiang Yu saw that they had a door, and hurriedly said: "For as long as I can remember, I know that my grandfather's heart and mind are all about being 'edicted' by the imperial court, taking off the coat of bandits, rehabilitating the Jiang family, and allowing the team of guards who follow them to have a good future." Although my grandfather is the only one left in the older generation, our obsession with this matter has not diminished at all. Ladies and gentlemen, you have to raise your noble hands and break and then stand up, this kind of thing our small village can't afford. ”

Fanning asked curiously, "In that case, then why do you continue to be bandits in the mountains?" Even if you surrender to the general, you can be a prisoner at most, and then start from the grassroots soldiers, right? ”

Although Zhang Xuan was disgusted with some of the dirt and dirt in the officialdom, he had stayed in the Zhang family for so many years, and his contact was deeper than Fan Ning's, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that your investment in General Nian has failed, although General Nian doesn't know the relationship between Jiang Heng and you, but he doesn't seem to want you to change your ways, and he doesn't even want your group of bandits to disappear, right?" ”

Jiang Yu nodded and said, "Zhang Gongzi is really transparent." ”

Xia Liansheng naturally understood what he meant, and seeing that Fan Ning hadn't turned around yet, he explained to him with a smile: "Let me give you an analogy, if you look at a granary, there is a granary that often makes mice, and you catch a cat to catch mice." The cat was very diligent and it didn't take long to catch all the mice. If you don't have mice, you have to buy fish for it every day if you have this cat, what will you do with the cat at this time? ”

Fanning said: "I can't afford to have a cat, so I'll keep it." ”

Seeing Zhang Xuan's look of hatred for iron and steel, Xia Liansheng had no choice but to add: "Then what if there is a famine in the past two years, you can't afford to raise it?" ”

Fanning smiled and said as a matter of course: "Then it must be killed, don't let him waste food anymore." ”

Xia Liansheng smiled and said, "Yes, it must be killed." The cat is already useless for you, so you can kill it without any scruples. What if the cat is smart and doesn't work hard to catch mice, only two or three a day, so that you don't keep catching mice after you see its results? ”

Fanning said anxiously: "How can there be this? Cats are supposed to catch mice. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "But if the rat can never be eliminated in the granary, you will always need it, and you will not kill it." ”

Fan Ning was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and say, "What you said is very reasonable, but what does your example have to do with Nian Qianyao?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "Now, Mr. Jiang, they are the big rats raised by Nian Qianyao, an old cat. As long as they exist, the military power in General Nian's hands will not be taken away by the emperor, so Mr. Jiang can only be a mountain bandit in order to survive. ”

Jiang Yu said: "This is also the means used by the king of Nan'an next door, I heard that the country of Qianxiang is just a country of projectiles, but from the founding of the country to the present, the three generations of kings of Nan'an have not taken it down, it is not that the country of Qianxiang is too strong, on the contrary, it is still very weak, and it will be destroyed if you are not careful, the first generation of the king of Nan'an must want to use the country of Qianxiang to stabilize the military power in his hands." But the king of Nan'an forgot that the people are not food, in order to raise the country of Qianxiang, I don't know how many people were harassed by the country of Qianxiang and ruined their families, so he was bad for retribution, I heard that the king of Nan'an of this generation has only one daughter, and he has not even given birth to a son who inherits the incense. ”
