Chapter 139: Helpful

The lights in the official hall of the Northwest Economic Strategy are bright, and the wine and food on several cases are still full, but the hall is empty, no, there is one person, Jiang Wenyuan on the main seat is still sitting, under the bright lights, his face is pale and terrifying.

Today is his birthday, and although the affairs are complicated and tiring, on the whole, he is still living well.

only then did he get the reward, and he was about to take down this subword, and he was justified in shouting a slight envoy, and there was also a settled Zhizhou at the same time.

Of course, there are always unsatisfactory things in life, such as the inconsequential but disgusting Maoyuanshan brothers who compete for merit.

However, in the end, it was successfully resolved.

Also, just a few days ago, his concubine added another son to him, this is his thirteenth son, which is really enviable for many people who are difficult to raise heirs.

So on this forty-six-year-old birthday, Jiang Wenyuan was extremely happy, but he didn't expect that before the banquet started, he was shocked by the secret letter sent by the capital.

Week! Phoenix! Auspicious!

With a roar, Jiang Wenyuan overturned the several cases in front of him, and the plates, cups, saucers, and wine jugs crackled in the hall.

"Kill him! Kill him! ”

He shouted and hurried out, snatching the sword from the waist of the attendant standing under the porch, and headed straight for the door.

"My lord, my lord!"

The staff members of the official and the guest rushed over one after another, desperately stopping and snatching the knife.

"Now go and kill him, kill him." Jiang Wenyuan shouted with a grim face.

"My lord, don't talk about my lord, there are so many people in the entire northwest who want to kill him now." The staff advised, "It's not difficult to kill him." On the battlefield. Whether the horse was frightened and fell to death or hit a stray arrow, it can be said that the past is over. But now that it's in Dragon Valley City, and there's no war, how can you kill it? ”

What's more, just now, after receiving the secret letter, he sent someone to find Zhou Fengxiang, but found that Zhou Fengxiang, who did not come to the banquet due to illness, had already taken off his official robe and entered the prison himself, saying that he was waiting for the arrival of the imperial court.

"He's going to go to the prison himself, what is the death of a person in a cell!" Jiang Wenyuan said with red eyes and gritted his teeth.

If a military attache dies, he dies. But Zhou Fengxiang is a civil official, and he is still guilty of it.

"My lord, at this time, he can't die, if he dies, we really can't tell." The staff said with a sigh.

Jiang Wenyuan didn't know this.

"Then now that he is not dead, we can't tell you what to do!" He yelled.

He paced back and forth like a tiger in a cage.

The moment he received the secret letter, he immediately understood, and the little inexplicable uneasiness in his heart for many days was completely settled.

No wonder he always felt that something was wrong!

I see! I see!

Who spread the news that Xu Sigen was injured in prison? How could those militiamen and soldiers who were walking around come to the neighborhood so coincidentally, and why was Fang Zhonghe stopped by the city gate so coincidentally when he fled....

All of it. It's all to get them to agree to write a recital in recognition of the Linguanzhai incident, and also to let his big seal fall on that recital!

"They're cheating! This is a scam! Jiang Wenyuan shouted, "This is framing!" Besides, what kind of big deal is lying about military exploits, what is this called lying about military exploits? This is nothing more than post-war boasting! We're just exaggerating and boasting, and we've done a lot of things..."

The staff hurriedly persuaded him not to speak.

That's right, it's not uncommon to lie about military exploits, and they dare to pack a ticket and say that every battle has always been indispensable for whitewashing and exaggeration.

But that's the way things are in this world, when you say it's okay, it's okay, and when you say it's okay, it's all about it.

What's more, the timing of the lie that the military exploits were played this time is not good.

However, when the Linguan Zhai incident was confirmed, it was when the emperor in Beijing was forced to swear by a woman.

"This is a slap in the face of the emperor and a loss of the emperor's face." The staff sighed.

It's no wonder that the emperor is not angry.

Therefore, Zhou Fengxiang's move is really ruthless and poisonous.

Jiang Wenyuan kicked a wooden frame away, and the honor guard and other objects on it fell to the ground with a bang.

"My lord, we naturally have to defend ourselves." "But the key now is that you can't be summoned to the capital. ”

Once you go to the capital, you will inevitably fall into endless arguments and self-defense, and even if you win in the end, the northwest side is afraid that it will not be easy to return.

That's right, he can't go, and if he does, it's irretrievable.

"But how can you not go?" He gritted his teeth.

Zhou Fengxiang made such a big fuss, the capital must also bite tightly, and the emperor is angry, how can he not leave?

"Before the angel arrives, let's think of a way." The staff didn't have much to do for a while, so they had to say.

Standing in the courtyard, the night breeze was whistling, although it was not yet the cold winter wax moon, Jiang Wenyuan still felt that it was blown through the cold.

When the sky was bright, the eyes of the people in the official hall were red, and although they had not slept all night, no one was sleepy, or numb.

Countless clerical reports were scattered on the ground, but there was no solution to their urgent needs.

"I'll kill Zhou Fengxiang first!" Jiang Wenyuan shouted violently.

The staff again tried desperately to stop it.

"My lord, I can't take my own life for him!"

"That's right, the matter is still inconclusive, even if you leave the northwest and have other places to go, Lord Gao will definitely protect you, and it won't take long to recover!"

At least they don't say they want to stay here and not enter Beijing like they said last night.

Jiang Wenyuan sneered in his heart, and was a little desperate, he had already lost half of it....

"....... newspaper..."

A long-pitched emergency report sounded in the official hall, and a soldier rushed in.

"Qingshan Fort is urgent, there are western thieves gathering in the southeast, the target is the Black Mountain Fan Clan, and the Black Mountain Fan Clan asks for help!"

The people in the official hall were stunned, and seemed a little incredulous.

"How many?" Jiang Wenyuan is not a veteran, and he was the first to react and asked.

"Twenty thousand!" The soldiers knelt down to report, while holding the fire paint seal letter and the gold medal to prove that their identity was not faked.

Twenty thousand!

The faces of the people present were even more bloodless in an instant. But then something came to them. His complexion suddenly turned red again.

"Well done! Hahaha! Well done! ”

The deafening laughter exploded in the official hall in an instant. Only the anxious soldier who reported the news laughed dumbly.

Isn't it a happy thing to have 20,000 enemy troops?

Of course, there are also unhappy, when Zhou Fengxiang, who was sitting in the prison, heard the news, his originally indifferent face suddenly became sluggish, and there was no blood in an instant, although his body was not out of shape, but if he stood closer, he could see that his hands on his knees were trembling.

"Time, life," he muttered.

Compared to these senior generals, they can get the news as soon as possible. The inferior soldiers lagged far behind, especially those who were still in prison.

Of course, they didn't react much when they heard it.

"....I don't know if let's let us go into battle..."

“… Meritorious atonement? ”

There are also jokes.

But Xu Sigen and Liu Kui, who were sitting in the innermost, couldn't laugh, they glanced at each other, and they both saw the despair in their eyes.

Finished...

Jiang Wenyuan can't leave...

Is God really helping him?

Just like the reactions of everyone in the northwest, when this emergency military situation reached the capital, some people laughed and some people turned pale.

Laughter is not ruthless and cold-blooded to war, and paleness is not fear of war, but an sigh of time and fate.

The doors of the Imperial Palace were closed again, but as always, news quickly spread in the capital.

“… The big war is coming, Jiang Wenyuan is okay now..."

"yes. Before the war, it was the most taboo to change generals, and this time the emperor didn't dare to touch him..."

“… Jiang Wenyuan, this kid is really lucky..."

Although there is no news from Asari yet. But the people outside, scholars, etc., have already made decisions for the imperial court.

Mrs. Zhang put down the scissors in her hand, looked at the bonsai in front of her and sighed softly.

"At least it's not all in vain, after all, it's right." He said.

However, the brow was not relaxed.

What about getting the name right? The Maoyuanshan brothers went from being unknown to competing for fame, so naturally the Northwest Economic Strategy Division could do the same.

"It's really fateful, helpless, helpless." Mrs. Zhang finally shook her head, threw down the scissors, and turned around and went into the house.

Although he left the Jade Belt Bridge in anger last time and vowed never to come again, when he heard the news, Liuliulang rushed over as soon as possible.

But he was still a step too late.

"The lady went to Chen Xianggong's house." The little guy who stayed behind said.

Going to Chen Shao's house?

What to do with him? What's the use of looking for him? Not to mention that this time Chen Shao is not only Gao Lingbo, not to mention that now he himself is still a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself.

And hearing Cheng Jianniang's visit, the Chen family was also surprised.

When Chen Bainiang rushed over, she saw the familiar and unfamiliar back from a distance, and she couldn't help but stop.

"Eighteen Niang, aren't you going?" Chen Danniang, who was pulling her, asked puzzled.

"She came to her father for something, let's go later." Chen Banniang said, looking at the woman who stepped into her father's study.

Compared to two years ago, he is much taller....

"Eighteen Niang, is that Cheng Niangzi?" Chen Danniang asked.

"You, the closest to her, have you forgotten?" Chen Banniang stretched out her hand and poked her head and said.

"It's been too long, I've forgotten." Chen Danniang pouted, looking at the back that was blocked when she entered the house, and seemed to be very kind in her vagueness.

"Let's wait here." Chen Banniang said, looking at the room over there, a little sad between her eyebrows.

Chen Shao had just returned from the palace, and his face was tired.

"Cheng Niangzi, this matter is not in a hurry, don't worry about it's okay." He said.

Cheng Jianniang looked at him and smiled slightly.

"I'm not worried." She said.

This smile fell in Chen Shao's eyes, and his expression couldn't help but stagnate.

Boulevard...

Lord Chen, the party is the same and different, whether it is right or wrong, this is the road you should recognize now.

The words rang in his ears.

Yes, what he did this time was indeed right or wrong, and he used some means, some of which were dishonorable in his eyes two years ago.

The reason why he was bent on expelling Gao Lingbo from the imperial court was because this person hindered the state affairs and people's livelihood, such a treacherous villain, for the imperial court, must not be reused.

He also knew the methods that Gao Lingbo and the others had been using against him, but he never disdained or was willing to use the same methods to fight back, because he always believed that what he was doing was not a party struggle, but a way to be loyal to the official.

But as time passed, it seemed that he had changed unintentionally, especially this time, when his staff members gathered with his subordinates to agree on countermeasures, he did not object to their decision to acquiesce, no, not only acquiesced, but he also practiced it himself.

And these means are bound to hurt some innocent people, such as...

Chen Shao looked at the woman sitting in front of him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, the means he once advocated were now fulfilled in himself, I don't know what she thinks in her heart, this is really the time, the fate.

"It's just that the luck of the adults is still not very good."

The voice in my ear continued.

When Chen Shao heard this, it seemed a little ironic.

Irony, for this lady, is not a faux pas.

"Cheng Niangzi, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, don't worry, don't worry." He sighed lightly and said solemnly.

"How can you not be in a hurry?" Cheng Jianniang looked at Chen Shao and smiled slightly, "Aren't you in a hurry?" ”

Not in a hurry? Don't worry, he'll grow a mouthful of bubbles overnight!

"Cheng Niangzi, it's not that I don't help you, but now I can't be in a hurry, and I want to figure it out slowly." Chen Shao took a deep breath and sat up straight and said.

Cheng Jianniang looked at him and sighed.

"In other words." She said, "How about I help you?" ”
