The website made me cry-

After being stunned for a moment, Ah Ping suddenly thought of something, and immediately said: "Thirteen brothers, don't forget that there are me and Ah Tong downstairs, although the kung fu of our senior brothers is a little weaker than the two of you, but it is enough to help, right?" ”

Hearing this, Thirteen looked at Ah Ping sideways, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and then turned his head to look at his partner Fourteen and said, "I was almost negligent, these thieves saw that the roof of the house didn't work, and it was impossible to do something under the house." ”

Regarding the concerns of the thirteen places, Fourteen just chuckled and said, "These thieves, as long as they don't come out of the ground, it won't be difficult for us to destroy them. ”

Hearing him say this, Thirteen followed and glanced towards the ground. There are several good places for self-cultivation in the Hengtai Pavilion block, which are built near the water, and most of them are paved with wooden floors, but there is the possibility of such underground Tibetans. However, although the name of this Yutong teahouse is vaguely related to water, it is a real welded ground construction, and this hidden danger naturally cannot exist.

After thinking for a moment, Thirteen said again: "If there is another thief on the roof later, it is better for us to leave one person below, how about it?" ”

Fourteen didn't have time to think before he said, "You stay down, I'll go up." ”

Thirteen immediately shook his head and only said, "I'll take Ah Ping up, and you stay." ”

In fact, when he said that mention yì just now, he had already made this plan in his heart.

Fourteen didn't refute, but just looked sideways at Ah Ping, and saw that Ah Ping's eyes were showing a look of eagerness. Staring at him as if considering something, Fourteen was silent for a moment before asking, "Do you have a weapon with you?" ”

Ah Ping vaguely felt that if he said that if he didn't bring it, he might lose his qualification to participate in the war, but even so, he replied truthfully: "No." Under the Kyoto Iron Restriction Order, we at the Hakumen Martial Arts Hall even use wooden tools for daily practice. He paused slightly, and then added, "But the wooden tools used for the White Gate practice are all made according to the weight of the iron tools. Therefore, it does not affect the retraction and release of fists and kicks. ”

Fourteen nodded in understanding, and then his gaze shifted slightly, looking at Ah Tong beside Ah Ping, and threw the two daggers in his hand over.

Ah Tong took the dagger in his hand. But there was a hint of confusion on his face. When he saw Fourteen and Ah Ping discussing, he originally thought that he would take a fancy to Ah Ping, but he never expected that the situation would take such a sharp turn.

Almost at the same time that Fourteen gave one of the double daggers he carried to Ah Tong, Thirteen also assigned one of his daggers to Ah Ping, and the two groups seemed to be matched like this. For the thirteenth Jianyì, when the environment allows, the fourteenth will rarely make arguments or objections, and the two of them will each accommodate and cooperate with each other in two types of things, so that they can be as consistent as they are, which is also when Wang Chi leaves the palace every time Jian Cong. In most cases, they choose to take them with them.

However, when the four people outside the house had already assigned their tasks and were waiting for the arrival of the third group of thieves, they did not see any unusual noise on the roof or under the eaves. It was very quiet, and the two hosts in the room seemed to continue talking.

Ruan Luo finally sat back in the chair, and did not say anything like "please return to the palace" to Wang Chi in an eager tone. It wasn't because the four people on the roof were captured by two guards in the forbidden palace - Ruan Luo didn't believe that the six people were all the bargaining chips that some murderer was going to put out today to assassinate the emperor - he calmed down a little, because what Wang Chi said next confirmed one thing, and seemed to show that his scruples were superfluous.

"Do you remember the wonton restaurant in a densely populated area you just visited? Maybe from the moment you took out the gold leaf at a singer just now, it was destined that our trip today would not be too lonely. After a pause, Wang Chi continued: "Your mind is too tense, this is not good, relax." You probably didn't even notice it. Why is there such a fierce fight on the roof, the tiles are smashed to the ground, and there is such a big commotion, but the inside of the teahouse is still quiet as usual? ”

Hearing the meaning of "expected early" in Wang Chi's words, Ruan Luo thought that of course he was also "prepared early", so his mood was also slightly relaxed. However, when he listened to Wang Chi's words and said the last sentence. He couldn't help but feel suffocated, and said in a lost voice: "Could it be that there is also ...... in the teahouse?"

Ruan Luo's worries and doubts are of course possible, but Wang Chi at this time did not think so. The two of them diverged in the direction of their thinking, which seemed to be the reason why their casual conversation today was often abruptly interrupted.

"Luo'er, have you ever heard of a saying? in Kyoto. The safest place is the Imperial Palace, followed by the Hengtai Pavilion block. Wang Chi said leisurely, "This statement is not an excuse to deceive those nobles who visit Beijing to stay, but a fact. It's just that strictly speaking, it should be the most heavily defended place in Kyoto, and the Hengtaikan neighborhood is in second place after the Imperial Palace, and it can't be measured by the word safety, because for professional killers who are interested in studying, there is no place they can't go. This is tantamount to saying that there is no place that can be described as absolutely safe. ”

After saying this, Wang Chi remembered what happened in the palace a few days ago. The Forbidden Palace, which was guarded with such strict details, and because he started the affairs in Wolf Tooth City that day, he sent additional guards to the Forbidden Palace, but he didn't expect to be spied in by several killers and injured his son, who was already weak.

This annoyed him, and for the first time that night, he questioned his guards, but it haunted him for a night. After daybreak, he regained his confidence, and in the last few days, he had not slackened his search operations in the city. Although the five groups moved from the black walled city to the outside, all their movements remained absolutely secretive, so that even to the local residents of Kyoto, the imperial city remained as calm and peaceful as usual.

Of course, Ruan Luo didn't know what happened in the Wolf's Tooth Siege a few days ago, and what happened in the palace.

Although the assassination and injury of the prince is not equivalent to the impact of this evil incident on the emperor, this kind of thing is still easy to arouse suspicion, and indirectly creates some unstable factors for the living atmosphere of the imperial city, so of course this matter was ordered by the emperor to be sealed on the night of the incident.

And without these things that should have been known for a long time, now I suddenly saw several killers jumping out one after another to assassinate, and then I don't know how many assassins will pop up, but the target of these assassins can still sit calmly, how can Ruan Luo, who is sitting opposite him, not be in a hurry?

Although Ruan Luo had understood Wang Chi's reason and reliance on not leaving at this moment, he still couldn't help but stand up. For the third time, he reaffirmed his will. He waved his hands and bowed, and said word by word: "Your Majesty!" Please go back to the palace! ”

Noticing that Ruan Luo's title for himself had suddenly changed, Wang Chi raised his eyebrows, and said in a somewhat stiff voice: "Do you think I chose to come this far today." Is there room for evasion? ”

When Wang Chi's words said the last word, Ruan Luo raised his slightly lowered head, his eyes were full of puzzlement, he didn't say a word again on the surface, and asked two words silently in his heart: Choice?

"Maybe I should have dropped you down halfway through." Wang Chi sighed softly, "This is my mistake." ”

Ruan Luo still didn't say anything, although he felt a trace of Wang Chi's disappointment in him, he didn't think that he could persuade Wang Chi to keep him from being disappointed. He wanted to tell the king that as a monarch, he didn't just love his life because he was afraid of death. Rather, the safety of the monarch is related to the stability of the entire government and the opposition, and this kind of matter should be treated cautiously and strictly by nature.

It may be too late to retreat now, if it is time to wait until the group of assassins gathers one after another, forming a siege. At that time, it will be full of dangers.

Why didn't the emperor go? Because he has enough counterattack power around here? Ruan Luo did not have this mood of waiting and watching, his mood at this time may be similar to those assassins, that is, there is only one emperor, and people cannot be resurrected after death. Even if the Imperial Court guards who were going to kill all the assassins in the vicinity in the end, as long as one of the Shining Gods lost His Majesty, then today's incident would still be an irreparable defeat for his side.

Just Ruan Luo was slightly distracted. When he was hesitating over whether he could speak his mind to the already annoyed king in front of him, he listened to Wang Chi ask slowly, "Do you know what would happen to Ruan Chenggang if the person sitting with me here today was Ruan Chenggang?" ”

Suddenly hearing Wang Chi mention his father, who had been dead for many years, Ruan Luo couldn't help but twitch his shoulders, but he didn't know how to answer. This was an unanswerable question for him. When Ruan Chenggang died of the plague, Ruan Luo was barely five years old, and what his father looked like was gradually blurred in his memory, not to mention his impression of his father's temper and personality.

Wang Chihui suddenly asked. In fact, I didn't expect him to really answer anything, just to condense his attention, but I didn't expect him to answer after a moment of silence: "The younger generation doesn't know what the late father will do, but the younger generation knows that if the late father is in today's environment, he will definitely worry about your safety at the first time." ”

Although Ruan Luo said the rules and regulations, his tone was very earnest, but Wang Chi seemed to be immersed in some kind of reminiscence at this time, and did not pay attention to Ruan Luo's words, but said again: "If Brother Chenggang is here, he may be surprised for a while, and then ask me, how many people have you brought?" How far away is your shadow guard? Did the guards inform you? Anyway, that's the question, and when that's done, he'll probably choose to join me in watching the scenery, and one after another black-clad and black-clothed and masked assassins pop out like fleas, only to be knocked down and kicked to the ground by the guards who jumped out of nowhere. ”

Wang Chi's face suddenly had a smile drifting through, as if remembering something that made him feel very interesting, he glanced around the environment on the first floor of the teahouse, and then continued: "Brother Chenggang will probably feel that this place is too closed, and he needs to find a higher location to see the whole picture of this good show." ”

Somehow, Ruan Luo suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sluggish.

Wang Chi's heart drifted away, and when he said those words, it was as if he really saw Ruan Chenggang sitting opposite him, asked him those questions, and then invited him to change places to "watch the play".

And at this moment, Ruan Luo's thoughts about his father suddenly hit him like a tide.

It is only when people encounter heavy setbacks and are in difficult situations that they think of their loved ones who should be their closest relatives, but who are far away. But after so many years of living alone, Ruan Luo has learned to take on the affairs around him, and such a vulnerable side has long been hidden by him.

The box containing the helplessness and grief of his youth, he had not opened it for a long time. No one around him mentioned his long-dead father to him, and coupled with his usual busy affairs, it was naturally not easy to remember. However, once I remember it again, this loneliness, this sadness, it is like a current that has been suppressed for too long has finally found a break. It was difficult to control the splash again.

If his father was here, would he really do what Wang Chi said?

If my father would have chosen to do this, he would probably have chosen to follow, right?

Just when Ruan Luo was stunned, he heard Wang Chi say, "You sit down." He didn't hesitate to hesitate any longer. He sat down.

"You probably don't know that more than ten years ago, Ruan Chenggang could have avoided dying." Wang Chi continued to speak, and he sighed deeply, "When the Wang family's army attacked Kyoto from the north to the south, the army was divided into three groups. Lin Shan's group went first, and the number of people was also the smallest, mainly to find out the news of the road ahead. My group has the most people, and you can see why you can see why. The third group is Ruan Chenggang, who started almost at the same time as me. But he was a little slower, as he was responsible for carrying heavy siege vehicles.

Although Lin Shan's group was groping forward, the whole process was quite smooth, and at most there was no danger. My group was not far behind him, and I didn't encounter any major obstacles. Only Brother Chenggang is in the group. Walking at the end, no one answered, because the load was heavy, and the team in front of me was gradually far away, and I was most afraid of problems, but unfortunately there was an accident.

The path he was going to take had been explored by Lin Shan's group. For the passage of heavy siege vehicles. If the speed is required, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the road situation, and we are not afraid of the obstruction of small forces. Of course, there was no problem with the road prepared by Lin Shan's group for Brother Chenggang's group, although it was within the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Army, but at that time, the Sichuan Army had naturally disbanded.

Just imagine, passing on such a path. It should be the smoothest, but there are some things that really can't be controlled by human brainpower, such as natural disasters. The Sichuan region has always been poor, and bandits are rampant. In that year, there was another war, and people's livelihood was even worse. The people there had no food to eat, except for grass roots and tree bark, and even bats from the caves in the mountains and rats from the fields were caught and eaten. Many people died of starvation on the roadside, not to mention that there was something to wrap and bury, and after a few heavy rains, the plague broke out. ”

These things that Wang Chi said are really some years ago, and Ruan Luo was only four or five years old that year, except for mentioning the word "plague" that killed his father and almost killed him, he still can't help but feel a little chilled, but he has forgotten a lot about the events of that year, that is, he remembers the piles of corpses waiting to be burned most clearly.

The corpses of those infected with the plague should not be buried, otherwise the plague will spread out of the soil and kill more people, so the plague can only be burned to eliminate the plague. Ruan Luo remembered that when the hill of sick corpses stacked in the pyre was burning, the shape of the gray smoke rising into the sky was always twisted and could not be stretched out smoothly. The sound of burning is not as crisp as that of Chai He, and it is impossible to tell who is who in the end, and it is twisted into a pile of mixed white ash.

At that time, his father already had signs of coughing and fever, and he didn't care that he ran out of the tent to see the pictures.

Thinking about it now, he can only sigh deeply like Wang Chi.

Perhaps it was because the bruises caused by the past, whether it was for his best friends or for the people of Nanzhao, were too heavy, and Wang Chi couldn't help but take a deep breath again halfway through this story, and then he restrained his slightly fluctuating mood and continued in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Actually, he could have bypassed that area and changed the city and county, which would only take him five more days, but he still chose to move forward according to the time plan we set at the beginning......

In fact, it doesn't matter if the time is delayed for five days, Lin Shan's side was a day late and knew that he was blocked by the plague on his side, thinking that he would make a detour, and the arrival time would inevitably be delayed, so Lin Shan's side had already done another remedy, and he also took the risk, disguised himself as Jane Cong and entered Kyoto, and instigated several officials as internal responses......

Later we learned that the last monarch of the former Zhou court was not so strong; In addition to the Zhongzhou Army, the army of the previous dynasty still had some strength to hold on, and the other two had already succeeded or failed; The government and the opposition of the previous dynasty moved the capital in a hurry, and most of the people's hearts had already moved, perhaps instigated from the inside, which was more effective than those heavy weapons built for siege.

But...... Brother Chenggang wanted to keep his promise, but he fell into it. He knew that there was a poisonous mist floating in front of the road, but he still had to move forward. Will someone think he's stupid to do it afterwards? But that's his character, if you can't avoid it, then go straight to deal with it. He used to say that the closest distance between two places is to take a straight route.

No one had the divine power to predict what would happen later. If Kyoto in the previous dynasty was as strong as the castle tower of the northern geese, then the choice of Brother Chengzuna at that time played a decisive role. Although those heavy weapons were not used much in the end, it is undeniable that Brother Chenggang's choice was correct or not. He deserves to be my advisor and my confidant, he not only has wisdom, but also courage! ”

Ruan Luo finally believed it, and he believed in a somewhat depressed mood what Wang Chi said about his father's choice that had been dead for many years.

He believed that if his father was sitting at the table at this time, he would definitely ask Wang Chi the questions he had just mentioned, and then choose Wang Chi's choice.

But before he also makes a choice, he still has to borrow his father's will. Ask Wang Chi a few questions.

"Uncle..."As his mind returned to calm, Ruan Luo's title for Wang Chi was also restored, "Can you tell the juniors, how many people did you actually bring with you when you came out this time?" ”

"Just the two outside the door. But count the two you have with you. It has to be counted as four. While Wang Chi was speaking, his hand that was originally casually covering the edge of the table was raised, and he stretched out his index finger and middle finger in the air, and soon put his hand back on the edge of the table, and a smile appeared on his face again, "You won't mind if you borrow it temporarily, right?" ”

realized that Ruan Luo's mentality was finally twisted by himself in a direction that he was happy to see. Wang Chi's mood is obviously a lot better. At this time, Ruan Luo's words and tone had the momentum of imitating his deceased father, which was exactly what Wang Chi was happy to see.

But Ruan Luo couldn't relax at all at the moment, but he knew that he needed to be calm, because just now, he decided to move closer to the back of his long-deceased father.

There was a speechless expression on his face, after a few moments. Ruan Luocai said: "You're not joking now, are you? ”

"Have you forgotten what happened at the gate?" Wang Chi's tone of speech was still leisurely, "I obviously don't have the talent to joke anymore." ”

"You're kidding too scary." Ruan Luo looked sideways at the door, his face a little worried. But he didn't say anything to persuade Wang Chi to leave like he did just now, and after thinking for a while, he asked again: "Then your shadow guard ......?"

Don't wait for him to finish asking. Wang Chi smiled and said, "My shadow guard is now the commander of the Kyoto garrison and the commander of the palace Praetorian Guard. ”

Ruan Luo's mind quickly popped up with the name and appearance of a person, although this person's martial arts are high, but he has been remembered by too many people, of course, he can't be a shadow guard who has disappeared.

Wang Chi's answer really made people feel frightened, if it weren't for Ruan Luo's mentality being much firmer under the influence of his father's back at this time, he was afraid that after getting Wang Chi's heart-sinking answer, he would immediately stand up from his chair and persuade Wang Chi to leave for the fourth time.

Gritting his teeth, Ruan Luo asked again, "Then do your guards know about your coming here today?" ”

Wang Chi looked at Ruan Luo, who was forced to calm down, and really wanted to say to him: He only came here suddenly, so of course the guards would not know. But this sentence only came to his lips, and he finally pressed it down. He didn't continue to tease Ruan Luo anymore, he was really afraid of teasing again, this kid's heart that had finally sunk was stirred up again, and the sentence after sentence of "Please go back to the palace" was very annoying!

After breathing a sigh of relief, Wang Chi said slowly: "Why do you need to bring any entourage, enter the Hengtai Pavilion block, and the guard force here can be used by me." As for my shadow guard, when your entourage went to Yunxia Qianzhuang to get the money, my whereabouts probably spread, but I don't know if it will be someone from Kyoto Prefecture or someone from the Praetorian Guard who will come here later. ”

"When you take the silver...... Ruan Luo was surprised, "how is this possible?" ”

"It's not strange, but you can't blame that entourage of yours, he probably didn't say anything." Wang Chi smiled and signaled that Ruan Luo didn't need to be so nervous, let alone blame the carelessness of his entourage, and he continued: "Do you believe it or not, just with the piece of paper you issued, don't say that 30,000 taels of gold, even 3,000 taels of gold have to be taken out from Yunxia Qianzhuang, it is enough." And although Yunxia Qianzhuang returned your big ticket of 20,000 taels of gold, but finally lent 10,000 taels, they will do this, not only because they give you face, but also because they will give me face. ”

The face of the king of a country is worth 10,000 taels of gold? That's too cheap, right? Ruan Luo didn't believe it much. But I was very puzzled: How could Yunxia Qianzhuang determine that His Majesty was by his side based on a large ticket signed and stamped by him?

Wang Chi saw Ruan Luo's doubts, and answered for him without waiting for him to ask: "Thirteen also followed your entourage just now, Yunxia Qianzhuang is the property of Hou Wei Yunhuai in northern Jin, and the person he put there to manage things will also have some eyesight." It's not hard to recognize the guards I always have with me. What's more, in order to let the big ticket you sign be exchanged for more gold, I specially told Thirteen to deliberately reveal some news. ”

Ruan Luo's face showed a sudden expression, but it was soon filled with new suspicions, and he asked puzzledly, "Why are you doing this?" Just to get some more gold? You don't really want to wear it out, so what's the purpose of tossing it back and forth? ”

Wang Chi pretended to ask mysteriously: "What do you think?" ”

Ruan Luo thought seriously for a moment, and a somewhat cold thought suddenly rushed into his mind, causing his eyes to widen slightly, but his voice was much lower when he spoke: "You have left the palace in plain clothes. It was only very vaguely borrowed from other people's mouths to leave some traces in Yunxia Qianzhuang, but it was a group of killers who came to the Hengtai Pavilion block for the first time, so ......"

"No, no," Wang Chi said two words in a row, and slowly shook his head and said, "You think of Wei Yunhuai boldly." Wei Hou is just insatiable, and he is not a business material, but he still has a clear grasp of the overall situation. If I have any mistakes, so the country changes hands, he will not be able to be the relaxed Hou Ye of Jindu. Then, he wanted to swallow an extra 10% of the agricultural tax revenue, without my intervention. It was even more of a dream. ”

"Then ......" Ruan Luo's complicated thoughts in his heart were a little uncertain.

At this moment, Wang Chi picked a new word and asked, "Do you remember the two singing artists you met in that wonton restaurant just now?" ”

Ruan Luo nodded, remembered something again, and said slowly: "You also said that from the time when the junior presented a gold leaf to that artist, our trip will not be peaceful. Why is that? If this qiē that happened today is because of the junior's presumptuousness for a while, the juniors really don't know how to atone for their sins! However, since you have been aware of it since then, uncle, why did you go around here and deliberately reveal your whereabouts? ”

"You're not involved in martial arts. So I'm afraid I don't know yet, the people who entered the store just now are all martial arts, including the woodcutter who left halfway. I'm afraid they remembered my face before they even entered the store. Wang Chi smiled when he said this, and then continued: "As for the girl who sang, although the tune she sang was familiar, I did get distracted for a while, and I couldn't help but think of Ziqing's singing before his death...... But the girl who sang did not sing very well, not as wanton and chic as Ziqing. I left the singer with the intention of temptation, for although she looked pitiful, she was not as terrible as the old man he carried. ”

Ruan Luo carefully sorted out the twists and turns in Wang Chi's words, and then said with some distraction: "The juniors really can't see what's wrong with those people, and the juniors just thought that you really wanted to listen to the music. But you said that the old man with whom the singing girl was carrying was terrible, and the younger generation seemed to be blind when he looked at him. ”

"They're ready to come, and of course anything can be dressed up." Wang Chi said far-fetched, and he didn't plan to talk about this matter to Ruan Luo. After a little silence, he smiled again as if he had gained something, rubbed the wide jade wrench on his thumb with his left index finger, and said slowly: "Wei Hou will come to Kyoto in a few days, whether this matter today is his thought or not, how can he say that he can spit out a large part of the swallowed public property, I just happen to be useful, and when he just guards the treasury of the capital for me for a few years." I only hope that the Yunxia Money Village he runs will not lose so much, and if he doesn't come out at that time, he will have to pay it back by prison. ”

Ruan Luo couldn't help but tremble lightly when he heard this, and the topic unconsciously returned to Yunxia Qianzhuang, involving the emperor's brother-in-law. It was a sensitive topic again, and he didn't want to say anything about it.

But slowly, Wang Chi brought this topic to him, looked at him and said slowly: "You pull out part of the real property placed on the account of Yunxia Qianzhuang, and then fill in the false property as a cover-up, so as not to make you embarrassed afterwards." ”

Ruan Luo finally couldn't help it, and asked in a tone similar to that of a prompt: "Didn't you just say that the matter of investigating the Marquis of Jin Bei is still just a thought in your heart?" Do you really want to check? ”

"I also want to give him a chance to make up for his repentance, just look at his appearance in Beijing this time. If he is obedient. This matter is easy to deal with on my side. Wang Chi didn't go on to say what he would do if the Marquis of Jin Bei didn't obey, and this topic was about to end here. Finally. He added: "The way things are done, of course, it is not a strict and thorough investigation. ”

"Uncle's advice, the juniors have written it down, and they will make proper arrangements when they go back today." Ruan Luo lowered his eyes slightly, this kind of sensitive topic involving the emperor's family affairs, of course, the sooner it ends, the better.

Wang Chi suddenly sighed and said slowly: "If it weren't for the fact that the Qingchuan War was about to start and the military consumption was huge, but I was aware of the abnormality of Jindu's taxation during this critical day, I might have been a long time late to look at Jindu's accounts." Or even if I want to check the Jin Beihou. I will also do more planning and will not do things in such a hurry. Maybe I'll really check it, will this matter today really be more than just a thought that the Marquis of Jin Bei has moved. ”

After Wang Chi's few words, the matter of the brother-in-law wanting to settle the old accounts of the brother-in-law was immediately turned into the brother-in-law wanting to do evil to the brother-in-law. Ruan Luo, who was listening from the sidelines, only felt a layer of clammy and cold black clouds swirling on the tip of his heart. This kind of speculation after this matter was put forward by myself just now.

As soon as his thoughts turned, Ruan Luo hurriedly introduced this topic into a new unfamiliar way, and asked softly: "As far as the younger generation knows, the place in Qingchuan is indeed very chaotic, but due to the size of the region, no matter how chaotic it is, it is only a small place. But why listen to what your uncle's words mean? It seems that to conquer that place, but to consume several times the amount of military supplies? ”

"This is the question you asked, and a few people have asked me before. Zhan Qingchuan's supplies also have a part of your credit, so I will give you a rough explanation, maybe it will help you to go there in the future. Wang Chi quickly sorted out the clues of the Qingchuan in his heart, and then he slowly continued: "First of all, the topography problem. Although there are not many rebel troops in Qingchuan. However, taking advantage of the treacherous terrain, the army of the Western Expedition will face the danger of a small group of people falling into the treacherous mountains and rivers at any time. Therefore, our soldiers must have more sophisticated combat defense equipment, and this is not only a question of how to make armor, horses, and ordnance.

Then there is the soldier's own prime. To be precise, the rebellious army in Sichuan cannot be described as soldiers, but this is not to belittle anyone in terms of title. Those thieves from the rogue background. All of them are skilled in martial arts, and it is also a big problem to use the terrain to disperse our soldiers and then break them one by one. For this reason, I secretly built fortifications in the mountains and forests there a few years ago, and in addition to preparing for war now, I will also use it for future prevention. However, in order to keep this matter secret, it is not possible to openly carry out large-scale construction, and the transportation of materials and the burial of waste materials have consumed more manpower and time, and this kind of thing has been done for several years in a row, which is equivalent to repairing two more palaces, and it is also a loss of money.

Finally, there is the issue of food and wages. The soldiers sent to Sichuan are all elite, and of course the salary must be sufficient. In addition, the problem of their food over there, because the material transportation channel may be interrupted at any time when the war breaks out, so the situation of fighting in front and replenishing grain and grass in the back needs to be modified. The grain and grass must be full at one time, which also includes the firewood for serving and cooking, but not less. After the end of the campaign, a lot of food will be wasted, but this is a risk consumption that cannot be avoided. ”

Although Ruan Luo is not good at planning wars, Wang Chi's words are very clear, and the main points of the war are all very prominent and clear, and it is impossible for Ruan Luo not to understand them.

Ruan Luo's thoughts were based on these knowledges and he asked, "So, the junior may want to go over there, what can he do to help?" ”

"Didn't we already talk about this before, let you pay attention to the actions of the Yan family." Wang Chi spoke for a long time, and was a little thirsty, so he picked up the white porcelain tea cup and lifted the lid. But as he bowed his head slightly to sip, he put the teacup back on the table, for the hand holding the teacup felt that it was already cold.

Ruan Luo noticed this detail, and immediately raised his voice and called: "Little Er, add tea!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly realized that the environment in this tea house was too quiet.

In order to facilitate the conversation and avoid the leakage of the chat, when the second tea was added, Wang Chi called all the waiters in the tea house out and told them to wait outside. Anyway, this tea house has been covered by him very generously, and of course he has the final say on what the tea waiters should do
