Hanoi, Huai County, Giang Manor.

After the blood rain fell that day, Jiang Weak felt a little uneasy in his heart, this sudden change interrupted Jiang Weak's original plan, in Jiang Weak's opinion, the golden dragon that shrouded the sky of the entire Huangji Country was probably the symbol of the royal family of the Huangji Kingdom.

Now that the true dragon has fallen, all the royal families of the Imperial Extreme Country may not survive, and when the decision-makers of a country disappear in an instant, then the future of the country will inevitably usher in a great disaster.

However, before Jiang Qiao could make a move, an even more shocking news reached Ma Cheng, the lord of the Emperor Pole Country had died, and it was Princess Mengling, the youngest daughter of His Majesty the Emperor, who ascended the throne!

For a while, this stormy country was in a state of tranquility, but everyone knew that this was just a precursor to a storm, and under this country, the turbulent undercurrent had already hit this big ship called Huangji Country.

And Jiang Weak also re-embarked on the road of sealing the well, this time Jiang Weak went to seal the well to take office, and the imperial court only gave a three-month period, so Jiang Weak could only let Wang Hai take people and horses to protect the accompanying craftsmen to go straight to the sealing well, and Yeluqi took the others to return to Huai County first.

The Jiang family manor was built outside the city, in the past three years, Jiang Qiao has been gathering a lot of money in the north, in addition to the daily use and the goods used to deal with the relationship, most of the family assets are secretly sent to the Jiang family in Huai County, this was originally only as the Jiang family's private property outside Huai County, now after several expansions, than Jiang Weak, there are already some big family style, early in the morning, the good uncle and Xin'er who got the news have been waiting outside the manor.

"Childe, you can come back. When Jiang Qiao arrived in Jiangzhuang with his personal guards, Uncle Liang stepped forward as soon as possible and helped Jiang Huang hold the war horse, and a happy smile appeared on his face full of folds.

"Uncle Liang, Xin'er, in the past three years, I have suffered you. Jiang Miao stepped forward, hugged Uncle Liang, smiled and glanced at Xin'er on the side, and said with a smile.

"The matter of duty, why is it bitter. Uncle Liang said with a smile: "And in the past three years, the envoy has taken good care of my Jiang family, I am only responsible for collecting tenant rents, as well as operating some county properties, to say that it is hard, the son has suffered a lot in that bitter cold place in the past three years." ”

"Childe, and you, I'm tired all the way, I'm afraid I'm tired, the old slave has prepared hot water for you, go and freshen up. Uncle Liang smiled.

"Well, Uncle Liang still knows me. Jiang Wan nodded, and while walking towards the manor, he said to Uncle Liang: "This time I came back, I have to go to the envoy's side in person, I heard that the envoy likes calligraphy and painting, I remember that the teacher at home gave me a commentary on the Analects, take it, and I will go to thank you in person tomorrow." ”

Han Shun's annotation, in this era is a thousand gold can not be changed, this era, except for those nouveau riche who once got rich, most officials pay attention to the demeanor of celebrities, if you send anything like gold and silver, it will be underestimated by the other party, no matter what, this makes Jun can be regarded as helping the Jiang family, Han Shun's annotation is sent, one to thank you, and the other is to make friends and expand your contacts.

"Childe rest assured, and he will send someone to deliver the worship post later. Uncle Liang nodded, this is not a visit, no matter what you say, you are also a county guard, more to help the Jiang family, go to the meeting naturally be more formal, and the etiquette must not be less.

"Then it's bothering Uncle Liang. With everyone all the way into the house, Jiang Miao turned his head to look at everyone: "All the way, you have also worked hard, this time I will stay in Huai County for a few days, you should relax and relax." ”

"Wow!" everyone hurriedly bowed, and their own servants took everyone to rest.

"Childe came back this time, only stayed for a few days and left?" Uncle Liang and Xin'er followed Jiang Qiao, looking at Jiang Qiao with some loss.

"Well, this time the imperial court ordered me to rush to Fengjing to take office within three months, so it's not good to delay. Jiang Wan nodded and said, the sealing of the well is far away in Yuzhou, and it is five hundred miles away from here, even if it is as fast as it is now, it will have to go for a month, and he is ready to spare some time to understand the people's situation in the sealing well.

"This time, let's ask Xin'er to go with Childe. Uncle Liang glanced at Xin'er lovingly.

"Well, this time I went to govern the place, and there was no war, and I was going to take you with me. Jiang Wan nodded, Uncle Liang and Xin'er are loyal servants of the Jiang family, Jiang Wan still remembers that when he first came, it was when the Jiang family was in turmoil, the huge Jiang family, only these two people were willing to stay by his side, and they were already Jiang Wan's relatives.

"The old slave won't go. Uncle Liang shook his head with a smile and said: "This Jiang family is getting bigger and bigger now, and the old slave is not at ease when he hands over the family wealth to others, so he is here to help the son guard this family wealth." ”

Jiang Weak nodded when he heard this, now the Jiang family's family wealth is quite thick, and many of them are shady and easy to be coveted, and Jiang Weak is not at ease when they are handed over to others.

Not long after, Uncle Liang found Jiang Weak: "Son, the gifts for the envoy have been prepared, in addition to Han Weng's annotations, there are also some things to give to the envoy's family, which is not valuable, but it is quite interesting." ”

"Well, let Dong Ping and Wang Hai go with me to meet you. Jiang Wan nodded, although Dong Ping is not among the scholars, but his knowledge is not low, although Wang Hai's knowledge is not wide, but he is better than words, and he has been honed in the army for three years, and he has a steady body, these formal occasions, Jiang Fei's subordinates are only suitable for these two people, and the rest of Yeluqi is too reckless, and Meng Dan's ranger temperament is not suitable for these formal scenes.

"Wow. Uncle Liang nodded, and was about to inform the two.

In addition to today's Hanoi Taishou envoy, some big households in Hanoi also have to visit, such as the Sima family in Wen County, the head of the family, Sima Fangguan, worships Jing Zhaoyin, the door of the Sima family is more than one grade higher than the Jiang family, before Jiang Weak did not come out, I am afraid that he did not even have the qualifications to visit others, and now Jiang Weak does not say that he is famous, but it is also considered to be a good reputation, and he also has an official prestige, since he comes back, this Sima family must visit a trip.

In the next few days, Jiang Qiang almost ran around the counties of Hanoi, which was also a means to expand his contacts, after all, in this era, local feelings are very important.

Five days later, Huai County, on the post road, Jiang Weak and his entourage slowly entered, five days of travel, Hanoi should have visited the people who should have visited, Jiang Weak is ready to leave tomorrow, go to Fengjing to take office.

"Lord, how do you feel that visiting these people is more tiring than us fighting?" Wang Hai rubbed his face, even if he rarely spoke, just following Jiang Qiao these days, he felt a little unbearable, sometimes it was clear that Jiang Wan's official was taller than the other party, but he still had to make a humble appearance in front of some old guys, which made Wang Hai feel very uncomfortable.

"Learn more from Dong Ping, this kind of thing will be indispensable in the future. Jiang Wan shook his head, Huaxia has been a humane society since ancient times, and he can't go far if he has the ability and no connections, especially when he needs the prestige of the network the most, this kind of thing will be indispensable in the future.

"Lord, next time you visit, can you let Yeluqi or Meng Dan accompany you, I want to take a break. Wang Hai had palpitations in his heart.

"I'm not at ease with them. Jiang Wan shook his head, Hanoi is fine, how can he also be a villager in the township, even if the door is high, as long as you can go in, it will rarely give you a look, but after arriving in the Central Plains, it will be different, I really took Yeluqi and Meng Dan to go, maybe when I will cause trouble for myself.

"Lord, look!" Seeing that Huai County was already in sight, Wang Hai suddenly pointed to a woodcutter on the side of the street and said in surprise.

Jiang Wan turned his head when he heard this, and when he saw the other party's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but flash a trace of astonishment in his eyes: "It's you?"

"Captain Fang, you are ......" On the post road, Jiang Qiao looked at Fang Yue, who was dressed as a woodcutter and carrying a bundle of dry firewood, and turned over and got off the horse.

"Yue has seen Jiang Gongzi. "The woodcutter is none other than Fang Yue, and when he saw Jiang Weak, his eyes were a little complicated.

Three years ago, Jiang Weak almost became a prisoner in his own hands, who would have thought that three years later, Jiang Weak would not say that he was famous all over the world, but he already had a little reputation and returned to his hometown, but he was reduced to a woodcutter in the countryside, and the changes in the world are really embarrassing.

"After three years, why did Captain Fang end up in such a field?" Jiang Weak and Fang Yue don't have much intersection, but they also know that Fang Yue is a capable person, as a garrison in Hanoi, Fang Yue is quite strict in governing the army, Jiang Weak has seen too much corruption in the army in the past three years, the north is still good, but after Youzhou, the soldiers from all over the country have either become ruffians or become the private soldiers of the family, in comparison, the soldiers under Fang Yue still have the appearance of soldiers.

Fang Yue glanced at Jiang Wan bitterly, bowed his head and said, "Yue has already fallen to this, why should Jiang Gongzi come to humiliate him again?"

"Where do you start with this?" Jiang Miao raised his eyebrows, looked at Fang Yue and said, "Jiang has been guarding the border for three years, but he has never interfered in the affairs of Hanoi, what does this matter have to do with me?"

"Did Gongzi Jiang ever remember that three years ago, Gongzi had broken the barbarian clan in Ji County?" Fang Yue saw that Jiang Qiao's expression did not seem to be fake, and said with a bitter smile.

This matter really has something to do with Jiang Weak.

At the beginning, Jiang Qiao inadvertently broke the barbarian assembly in Ji County, and later asked Yelucai to sneak back to the barbarians, collect enough evidence to bring down Tian Yue, and successfully pulled Tian Yue down from the position of dignified Taishou in one fell swoop.

However, this matter is quite implicated, and the Tian family is anxious to clear up the relationship, so the officials who are the Taishou Mansion in Hanoi naturally become scapegoats, as for Fang Yue...... In any case, he was indeed instructed by Tian Yue to transfer troops and horses without authorization, and he was embarrassed that Jiang was weak.

Since the new Taishou envoy Jun was a disciple of Han Shun, and Taishou also had the intention of being close to Jiang Qiao at that time, Fang Yue was inexplicably accused of being a fellow party member and was stripped of his official position.

"Tian Yue's matter is indeed what I did, he harms my heart, if this person is not removed, my heart is uneasy. Jiang Wan was silent for a moment, then looked at Fang Yue seriously and said, "But Brother Fang's matter, I really don't know, Brother Fang is credible?"

"Yes or no, what is the difference between Yu Yue?" Fang Yue smiled bitterly, he was a victim in this struggle, if it weren't for the fact that he owed the Tian family a favor when he became a colonel, he wouldn't have violated the law to help Tian Yue embarrass Jiang Weak, if there was no such thing, he would not have been involved in cleaning up Tian Yue in Jiang Weak.

Saying that he is wronged is actually not wronged, for Jiang Weak, it is impossible to say that there is no resentment in his heart before, after all, he has fallen to the end of today, Jiang Weak can hardly escape the blame, but at this time, he said it, and he had resentment in his heart but he couldn't complain.

The dirtiness between Jiang Weak and Tian Yue, as the original participant, Fang Yue naturally knew, did he want to blame Jiang Weak for revenge on Tian Yue?

"Nature-related. Jiang said with a smile: "If Brother Fang is not aggrieved, how about temporarily joining my door as a guest?" Although I can't teach you to reinstate the official, it's better than being a woodcutter here. ”

"Jiang Gongzi is willing to help me?" Fang Yue raised his head and looked at Jiang Weak in disbelief, you must know that although he was unintentional at the beginning, if it wasn't for Jiang Weak suddenly becoming tough, that time, his appearance would be able to make Jiang Weak doomed, Jiang Weak at that time, whether in Tian Yue's eyes or in his eyes, was just a little shrimp who couldn't make waves.

"Why not. Jiang Qiao smiled and said: "Brother Fang has the talent to govern the army, if he is a woodcutter, he will inevitably be too condescending, as for the past grievances, since the first evil Tian Yue has been ambushed, Brother Fang is not intended, otherwise, if Brother Fang was tougher at that time, he would have captured me on the spot, I am afraid that Jiang is not as weak as today." ”

"This ......" Fang Yue smiled bitterly: "Although Yue is forced to be someone else's minions, he is still a general of the Imperial Extreme Kingdom, how can he do such an unscrupulous thing?"

"That's right, so between you and me, there is actually no grudge, and if someone is in Brother Fang's position, they will also do the same thing, or even worse. Jiang Qiao smiled and said: "I pity Brother Fang's talent, I can't bear to bury such a talent as Brother Fang, I invite you sincerely, I don't know if Brother Fang is willing to give in temporarily?"

Fang Yue said abruptly: "Meng Gongzi will not give up, if Gongzi does not give up, Yue is willing to follow the lord before and after the saddle." ”

The words have been said to this part, what else is there to say, he is now like a lost dog, running around for a livelihood all day long, Jiang Wan is willing to take him in regardless of his previous suspicions, Fang Yue really can't think of any good plans for others, but it is this open-mindedness that makes Fang Yue's heart broken, and he bows down and worships at the moment.

Jiang Wan did not hypocritically stop it, and generously accepted Fang Yue's worship, although it was just a ceremony, but it could not be abolished, with the beginning of this worship, Fang Yue had his imprint on his body, which was also the only one who had received formal education and training among the generals he accepted.

"Tomorrow I will leave for Fengjing to take office, I will not have much time left, and I will go to Jiangzhuang later to pick up some belongings and bring them home to settle down, change into formal clothes, and set off early tomorrow morning. After Jiang Qiao received Fang Yue's salute, he stretched out his hand to help Fang Yue up and instructed.

"Wow!" Fang Yue immediately nodded in agreement, got up and followed Jiang Wan back to Huai County, because there were no extra horses, Jiang Wan simply dismounted and walked, this move made Fang Yue even more moved, he should have returned to Huai County at noon, but Shengsheng dragged it back until the evening.

Jiang Wan asked Uncle Liang to get Fang Yue a piece of money, money and food, and let people load the car and send it to Fang Yue's house, which can be regarded as relieving Fang Yue's worries.

"Childe, this Fang Yue ......" Uncle Liang looked at Jiang Liang with some concern, Fang Yue is now in the poor season, he is worried that Fang Yue will be unfavorable to Jiang Liang in the future.

"Don't worry, I still have some experience in terms of people. Jiang Wan waved his hand and said: "Uncle Liang, tomorrow I will set off to Fengjing, the matter of the caravan mentioned before, you should step up the matter, first, it is convenient to exchange news, and secondly, you can save more family resources, I will leave a few people to train the guards, the guards of this Jiangzhuang cannot be relaxed, and two hundred people need to be prepared." ”

"Is Childe too careful?" Uncle Liang looked at Jiang Wan in confusion, the Jiang family now has some façade in Hanoi, and is even closer to the Taishou envoy, who dares to provoke.

"Be prepared, in this world, I'm afraid that something big will happen soon, if there is really that day, just guard the door wall. Jiang Qiao didn't explain, just instructed.

The old slave wrote it down. ”
