"Grass Folk Guardian Dragon!" Wei Long said without changing his face.

"Weilong, well, it's a good name, but how can I believe that you can put down the Jiangnan Rebellion within three years?" Xue Tianao's tone was calm, staring at him with a hint of thought.

Wei Long stood in place without humility, "Although the Wei State has undergone tremendous changes in recent years, it is not enough to shake the foundation of the Wei State, which requires the emperor to completely change the military and political system of the Wei State. Recruiting troops and horses, strengthening the training of elite soldiers and strong generals, the grass people heard that the emperor refused to join forces with Chu to recover Jiangnan, and the relationship between Yan and Wei was tense, and if they wanted to recover Jiangnan, they could only increase the strength of Wei. ”

Xue Tianao thought that he would have some high judgments, but the result was not the same as before, "I also know that it is very important to reform the military and political system, but how to change it, and what to do after the change, these things need to be considered clearly." It's not something you say alone. ”

"The grass people only ask the emperor to give the grass people a chance, Wei is now in urgent need of recovering Jiangnan, at this time Yan and Chu are not in harmony with Wei, the so-called enemy of the enemy is friends, these two countries are on the east and west sides of Wei, Jiangnan is in the south, if the two countries unite to attack Wei, I am afraid that Wei will not be able to take care of the left and right. It will even make the gang of bandits and fishermen in Jiangnan profitable, so it is imperative to recover Jiangnan. ”

Wei Long's tone was sincere, his words were sharp, and he hit the nail on the head, Xue Tianao listened to it all the time, a little tempted, until Wei Long finished his tirade, Xue Tianao's lips hooked a faint smile, "Since Mr. has such ambitions to serve the country, how can I not agree." Sir stay with me for the time being, and I will definitely use you again if necessary. ”

Wei Long bowed deeply, although Xue Tianao accepted himself, he was still a little skeptical in his tone, but the result was much better than he thought, at least he was a person who knew how to cherish talents, but he would not blindly trust others.

Xue Tianao actually believed in Wei Long's ability, and the reason why he didn't use him for the time being was because he considered Xiao Wanyao. The leader of the Gangnam bandits is by his side.

And Xiao Wanyao, who was staying in the room at this time, was already anxious, looking at the two people talking outside, but she didn't know what they were talking about, although the fate of this life has changed a lot, but there are some things she still can't do.

Wei Long's only purpose back then was to quell the Jiangnan Rebellion, and he still appeared here in this life, and it must be because of this purpose. That's why she was in a hurry, if Xue Tianao accepted Wei Long's words, it would mean that he had the heart to calm the Jiangnan Rebellion. It is a heart to deal with itself.

Seeing Wei Long leaving, Xiao Wanyao walked out of the room, "Tianao, what did that person say to you?" ”

Xue Tianao paused and looked at Xiao Wanyao, his eyes were calm, and he smiled, "You seem to care about what he said to me. ”

"I just asked casually, just an ordinary person, but I can find here directly, and knowing that the emperor is here, I am worried that he will be in danger to you." Xiao Wanyao prevaricated.

"He just wants to be an official, and he has his own talents, so he came to me to recommend himself." Xue Tianao said it easily, but Xiao Wanyao looked at the smile on his face and deduced that they must have talked about Jiangnan between them.

I thought that if I asked more, if Xue Tianao didn't want to say anything, he wouldn't tell himself. It's just that she must be careful of Weilong, and she must make Mingyu doubly careful. Although I don't know what kind of means Wei Long used back then, he did quell the Jiangnan Rebellion. In this life, Jiangnan is hers, and she will never give it to others lightly.

I don't know why Xue Tianao was in a very good mood that day, although he didn't explain it directly, but Xiao Wanyao knew that he must be because of Wei Long. Probably what Wei Long said in front of him was right in his mind.

After staying in the city for a few days, Xiao Wanyao's health improved, and Xue Tianao ordered people to set off to the border of Wei, counting the days, they had to hurry as much as possible to feel Fang Tianlang's side before the day Xiao Wanyao said.

Because of the reason why Xue Cheng and Xiao Rui joined, Xue Tianao asked people to prepare an extra carriage and let Wei Long take the two children to ride together, although he did not give Wei Long an actual official position, but let him become the teacher of the two children.

"From today on, Mr. Wei will be your teacher. After that, the two of you will study with him. Xue Tianao said before leaving.

Xiao Rui doesn't mind, anyway, he has a lot of masters, and one more is not too much, but he doesn't know what to learn from this uncle who sells vegetables, does he want to learn to sell vegetables?

Xue Cheng looked disgusted, "Why should I study with him?" I already have a teacher in the capital, what can this person teach me? ”

Xue Cheng first pointed to Xiao Rui on the side, very dissatisfied with why he had to accept a teacher with this person, and the other was the skinny Wei Long in front of him, a vegetable seller, what ability could he have?

Xue Tianao's face sank, "Teacher Wei's martial arts can naturally teach you, and I will learn from Mr. Wei in the future." ”

Xiao Wanyao stood on the side without saying a word, since Xue Tianao arranged it like this, she had nothing else to say. It's just that her eyes can't help but look at Wei Long, she knows that he is a talented person, and it is naturally a good thing to let Rui'er study with him.

Now that Wei Long has appeared here, it is useless to do anything by himself, but fortunately, he is by his side now, and if he has any trouble, he can still deal with it.

Wei Long knew that Xue Cheng was Xue Tianao's son, so he was naturally the prince of the country, and it was nothing to be the prince's teacher, but why was the little guy on the other side so valued? I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart, and while Xue Cheng was asleep in the car, Wei Long asked Xiao Rui, "What's your name?" ”

"Xiao Rui!"

"Miss Yanran is your mother, so who is your father?" Wei Long asked directly.

Xiao Rui blinked and looked at him, "My father has passed away, and he is just an ordinary businessman. "This is something that Xiao Wanyao taught well before.

"Do you know that Xue Gongzi is the current saint?" Wei Long continued to ask.

Xiao Rui nodded, "Yes." ”

"Why did you stay with the emperor?"

Xiao Rui understood when he heard this, and instead of answering directly, he asked, "Mr. Wei, do you want to ask me, why is my mother with the emperor, and the relationship is so good?" I will tell you directly, I have no blood relationship with the emperor, but the emperor likes my mother, so he will take us. ”

Wei Long nodded, I see, no wonder Yanran has such a good relationship with the emperor. Xue Tianao's expression in front of her was also unusually soft, different from treating other people. Sure enough, I guessed it myself.

It's just that Yan Ran seems to be wary of him, especially the look in his eyes when he looks at him, he can't help but wonder if this person has any opinion about him. The reason why he used Xiao Rui before was just to see the emperor.

I thought that Yanran would be a concubine in the palace, but I didn't expect it to be just a woman that the emperor liked. In this way, Wei Long didn't take Yanran to heart. The heart of a monarch is unpredictable, especially for women's hearts, seeing one love and one is generally the habit of emperors and generals.

As long as Xue Tianao is not extravagant.

Because he was always on the road, Wei Long did not teach the two children to practice martial arts, although he sold vegetables in the market, and he did not look as strong as he imagined, but he had a good martial arts.

On this day, Xue Cheng shouted to kill Xiao Rui because Xiao Rui was competing with him for a plate of snacks. Wei Long persuaded, "It's just because of a plate of dim sum, why do you need to kill the other party, you don't have any mind, how to accept others in the past." ”

"I have a heart, but I definitely don't accept this person. After his mother killed my mother, sooner or later I will have to take revenge. And you ......" Xue Cheng pointed at Wei Long and said angrily, "I am the prince, my father asked you to teach me martial arts, you are not allowed to teach him, otherwise I will sue my father and let you go home and continue to sell vegetables." ”

After speaking, Xue Cheng left in a huff, and knocked over some of the remaining snacks on the plate on the ground, "I don't eat it, and you don't want to eat it." ”

Wei Long looked stunned, thinking about the sentence just now, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Rui, who sat innocently and ate the remaining snacks in his hand.

Noticing Wei Long's eyes, Xiao Rui smiled faintly, "Mr. Wei, you don't have to care, he says the same thing every day, and I'm tired of hearing it." My mother didn't kill his mother, he misunderstood, don't take it to heart. ”

Wei Long glared, and then frowned, it seemed that there were still many things he didn't know. But he shouldn't take care of these things himself, so he decided to pretend to be confused about the harem and Xue Tianao from now on, he only came here to realize his ambitions, and didn't care about other things.

However, he appreciated this Xiao Rui, although he was younger than Xue Cheng, but he spoke and acted with the demeanor of a king, but it was a pity that he was not a prince.

Wei Long, who is very powerful and powerful, naturally will not pay too much for a person who does not help him in his career.

There are still a few days to go to the border of Wei, and there is already a clear feeling of a different kind of customs here, people's way of dressing, and architectural styles are very different from those in the north of Wei.

On this day, Xiao Wanyao personally cooked a few small snacks and gave some to everyone. At night, Xiao Wanyao lay on the bed and tossed and turned, counting the hours, Xiao Rui was already sleeping soundly by her side.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Wanyao got up, got dressed and walked out, she added a little herbs to the snack to help sleep, except for the guards on duty, so that no one would find out about her leaving.

Xiao Wanyao came to the agreed place, and there were already people waiting there.

"Subordinates, see Miss Xiao." Seeing a woman coming, the two guards hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Xiao Wanyao frowned, and her tone sank, "Get up." Mingyu sent you here? ”

"Yes, General Mingyu sent us over immediately after receiving Miss Xiao's letter, I don't know what Miss Xiao commanded?" One of the guards said.

"There are two main things, one thing is to give me a good eye on Wei Long, and the second thing is to hand over this letter to Mingyu, remember that you must hand it over to him personally, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise be careful of your heads." Xiao Wanyao said coldly.

The two guards were ordered to leave.

Here, Mingyu received Xiao Wanyao's news, and his face suddenly sank. Zhu'er had been waiting for him, and when she was serving tea, she saw his face change and asked, "Master Mingyu, is something happening?" It seems that your face is a little bad. ”

Mingyu put away the letter in his hand and glanced at Zhu'er, and said with a relaxed smile, "It's just a matter of the army, nothing." ”

Chapter 352: Woman

Seeing him say this, Zhu'er didn't ask any more.

"Zhu'er, you go and call Zhenhao, just say that I have something important to discuss with him." Mingyu spoke.

Zhu'er nodded and turned to leave, and it didn't take long for Zhenhao to appear in front of Mingyu, at this moment, his face was relaxed, and he didn't have the murderous aura he used to have, but he seemed to be pampered a lot.

"You're looking for me?" As soon as he entered the door, Zhenhao asked. Since Xiao Wanyao's 'death', he and Xue have stayed here and not left, as for why, in fact, I can't say anything in my heart, probably because there is no place to go.

"I came to discuss something with you, and I thought about it and felt that no one but you could do it." Mingyu smiled and walked out from behind the table and sat down on a chair on one side.

Zhenhao sat across from him, "What's the matter?" ”

"You also know that Jiangnan is located south of the Yangtze River, and although the Wei State has not moved troops for a long time, they have always had the idea of recovering Jiangnan. And the State of Chu and the State of Yan are eyeing each other, although we have recruited troops and trained elite soldiers over the years, but if they unite to attack us together, I am afraid we will still be difficult to parry. Mingyu said.

Zhenhao nodded slightly, judging from the current form, he also understood, but Xiao Wanyao handed over all the affairs of Jiangnan to Mingyu to be fully responsible, so he never asked about military matters. What's more, he used to be just a killer, he didn't know much about military affairs, and he didn't have military talent like Mingyu.

"What do you want me to do, just say it." Zhenhao said.

Mingyu smiled, "I want you to take an army to the border of Yan Kingdom, and attack Yan Kingdom as soon as you have the opportunity." ”

Zhenhao was stunned, slightly surprised, "Why do you want to attack Yan Kingdom?" ”

Mingyu still has a faint smile, in this world, except for Xiao Wanyao herself, the only person who knows her ambition best is probably Mingyu, what Xiao Wanyao wants is a sense of security, what she wants is a sense of belonging, but she has been wandering around.

But she has created a land of her own, which can give her more options for retreat at any time. But only Mingyu knows that Xiao Wanyao wants not only the land in Jiangnan, but the whole world.

"Because this is Wan Yao's last wish!" Mingyu said directly.

Zhenhao was slightly stunned, this was the first time Mingyu mentioned Wanyao's last wish, and he didn't know that there was such a thing until now, so he stood up immediately, "Wanyao still has a last wish before she dies?" What is it? "Why did it take so long to mention the matter of the last wish?

knew that Zhenhao would have such a reaction, but Mingyu didn't say anything, just said simply, "Wanyao's last wish is to unify the world, and we want not only the territory of Wei, but also Yan and Chu." There's a great time to do it, so you need to lead your troops. ”

Zhenhao stared at Mingyu a little incredulously, "I don't think it's her last wish, it's her idea." It's you who want the world, not her. ”

Knowing that Zhenhao would definitely think so, Mingyu didn't stop him and said, "No matter what you think, I hope you can do what I say." If you don't like it, I can find someone else. ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally Zhenhao nodded and agreed, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do here, since you said that it was Wanyao's last wish, then I should repay her for saving Xue's life, this time I will listen to you." ”

Mingyu nodded, this qiē was all arranged by Xiao Wanyao, since she arranged it like this, she must have her own ideas. After that, Mingyu sent someone to arrange the dispatch of troops.

Just when Zhenhao was leading his troops and preparing to go to Yan State, news came from Chu State that Chu State was recruiting troops and horses on a large scale, gathering troops probably to attack Jiangnan and recapture the ten states and counties from Mingyu's hands.

Mingyu frowned and said after listening to his subordinates' reply, "Continue to secretly investigate the situation on the Chu side, and report it as soon as there is any trouble." ”

The spies got up to leave, and Mingyu immediately wrote a letter to Xiao Wanyao to tell her about the matter here.

By the time Xiao Wanyao received the letter, she had already arrived at Yuezhou, the border of Wei. After seeing the letter, Xiao Wanyao's expression was very indifferent, she had already guessed that Guo Ping would not give up so well.

Although there was no movement in the Chu State on the surface, it had actually begun to act a long time ago. Fortunately, Xiao Wanyao's spies noticed their actions. That gives her time to prepare and plan.

After lunch was ready that day, Xiao Wanyao went to Xiao Rui and them for dinner, Xue Tianao went to the barracks, and sent someone to reply that he was going to eat there, it seemed that there was something important to discuss, so he would not come.

Xiao Rui and Xue Cheng have been learning martial arts with Wei Long, and Xiao Wanyao went to find the two of them during dinner, but after they went, they found that the two children were scuffling together, and Wei Long didn't know where they went.

It was not easy to separate the two people, and Xue Cheng turned around and ran out. Xiao Rui stood there with an aggrieved face, Xiao Wanyao comforted him a few words, and then took him to dinner.

However, just as she was about to turn around and leave, Ran Er walked in from outside, "Miss Yanran, there is a woman outside who said that she was looking for Xue Gongzi, I don't know what her identity is, so I didn't dare to say that Xue Gongzi is not here, come and say hello to you." ”

Yanran has no name or distinction here in Xue Tianao, but everyone knows that she is the only person who can change Xue Tianao's mind, and even has more power than the concubines in the palace.

Xiao Wanyao was slightly stunned for a moment, not long after arriving at the border, a woman came to the door, "Let her in." ”

Xiao Wanyao asked Rui'er to go to dinner first, and she came to the front hall, when she got there, the woman was already there, she was dressed in green clothes, she didn't look very old, her face was good, and she didn't look like a local person in terms of dress and temperament.

"Who is this girl?"

Qimo followed the prestige, and when he saw that it was a strange woman, his face suddenly froze, "I'm here to find Xue Gongzi, who are you?" Isn't he here? ”

Xiao Wanyao saw that she spoke so straightforwardly, and when she said Xue Tianao, it seemed that she had known her for a long time, and when she was dressed like this, she guessed that she should have come from the capital, so she sat down on the chair she was sitting on, "Tianao, he went to the barracks, and he will probably come back later." I wonder what the girl has with him? ”

Tianao? Hearing her call Xue Tianao's name, Qimo's eyes widened, and Xiao Wanyao looked at Xiao Wanyao carefully, "Who are you?" Even calling him by his name, do you know who he is? ”

Xiao Wanyao chuckled, "The girl's question is so strange, since I can call him by his name, I naturally know who he is." But who is the girl? ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, I'm here for him, not for you. Since he's not here, I'll wait here for him to come back. He'll be back sooner or later anyway. Saying that, Qimo sat on the chair on one side and pouted, tilting his head to stare at Xiao Wanyao.

probably noticed that Xiao Wanyao had a good temperament and did not behave like an ordinary person, so he guessed that she was probably the woman he brought out of the palace. It should be his woman, otherwise how could you call him by his name.

As soon as she thought of this, Qimo's heart was sour, she thought that he was the only one on the tour this time, but she didn't expect that she would still have a woman by her side. It seems that it is not so easy to get close to him.

Seeing that Qimo was like this, Xiao Wanyao didn't stop her, and got up slowly, "Since the girl wants to wait here, then I'll leave first." Someone, serve tea to the girl. After speaking, Xiao Wanyao turned around and left the front hall.

As soon as she left, she called the people around her, "Send someone to wait at the door, if Xue Gongzi comes back, stop him and let him come in through the back door, just say that I said it, I have something to look for him." ”

The man nodded and went to the door.

Qimo waited left and right in the front hall, seeing that the sky was darkening, but he didn't see Xue Tianao's shadow. She was a little anxious and hungry, but she insisted on staying and waiting for someone, if she patted her ass and left at this time, it would be shameless, so she had to wait for Xue Tianao to come back.

Ran Er came back from the front, Xiao Wanyao was reading a book in her room, because of the current situation, she had to think about the future of Jiangnan, so there were many things to think about.

But sometimes thinking about things often leads to a dead end, especially when it comes to the world and Xue Tianao, at this time she often picks up a book and reads it casually, relaxes her mind, and then thinks about other things.

"Miss Yanran, that girl is gone. Come back tomorrow. Ran Er replied.

Xiao Wanyao put down the book in her hand, "Probably because she can't enter the barracks, that's why she waits here." Do you know who she is? ”

Ran'er shook her head, "I tried to inquire, but she was very tight-lipped and didn't ask anything. ”

"Okay, I see. If she comes back tomorrow, let her continue to wait in the hall, and Tianao will come back and stop him and let him in through the back door. Still do what you say today. Xiao Wanyao commanded.

Ran Er answered and left.

On the second day, Qimo came here early in the morning, Xiao Wanyao just listened to the reply from the subordinate and ignored her. Continue to sit in your room and read your own book.

At noon, Xue Tianao came back from the barracks and was stopped by the doorkeeper at the door, "Xue Gongzi, Miss Yanran said that she has something important to look for you, so let you in through the back door." ”

Xue Tianao was slightly stunned, and didn't think much about it, so he followed the little guy into the back door.

Xiao Wanyao, who was far away, saw Xue Tianao's figure, so she put down the book in her hand and got up to greet her, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

"There are still many things going on in the barracks, but I want to come back and have lunch with you, and I always leave you here alone, and I am a little unhappy." Xue Tianao said with a faint smile.

Xiao Wanyao also had a chuckle on her face, "I'm nothing, it's still your business." ”

"I heard someone say that you have something to look for me, and you specially let me in through the back door, what's wrong? What's the matter? Xue Tianao asked as he sat down.

Xiao Wanyao immediately ordered someone to bring lunch up, and then returned to Xue Tianao and sat down and said, "Someone is looking for you, but I don't know what her identity is, so I called you here first, and it's your business to deal with it when you turn around." By the way, how about Ruier and Cheng'er? ”

"The two of them are very good in the barracks, Wei Long has been teaching them martial arts, probably someone learned it together, so they are all working hard. Who are you talking about? Xue Tianao asked.

Xiao Wanyao skipped a chuckle on her face, "It's a woman, but it's quite infatuated, I came here to look for you yesterday, and I waited for you to come back for a day, and I came here again today." ”R1154
