Zhao Jin recruited troops on the street, but no one came to join the army, and he forcibly arrested the strong men in a hurry.

Soon after, a cavalry broke out and knocked over Zhao Jin's carriage, and his subordinate Ling Jin was also blocked in the alley and beaten severely.

Afterwards, Chen Mu pretended to be innocent, but Zhao Jin thought that this incident was deliberately done by Chen Mu. Chen Mu said that he would severely punish the deputy captain Zhu Bi, but now Zhu Bi was detained by Zhang Han in the Shence camp, and he had not heard of any punishment. And that Zhang Han was like a cripple, and he didn't let Zhao Jin enter the camp to check, and he was very annoyed.

The more I thought about it afterwards, the more angry I became, and I wanted to take revenge on Chen Mu.

But he searched for several days in a row, but he couldn't find a chance to start, but felt that there were many pairs of eyes staring at him.

Those eyes are there day and night, and it is difficult for people to sleep.

——

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the king ordered people to send lanterns to the residents on the street and hung them at the door, and the streets and alleys had a strong festive atmosphere.

Bringing food to the poor.

Provide shelter for people experiencing homelessness.

The people were grateful and sang praises to the benevolence of the shepherd, and the streets were a lively scene.

Zhao Jin had no intention of watching the lantern, and fell into the room sulking.

At this time, someone reported that Cao Sheng had come to see him.

Zhao Jin's body was heavy, he got up lazily, and greeted him at the door in a low mood.

The guests and hosts sat down and chatted, and Cao Sheng put the topic on the right track:

"Chen Mu has three bureaus under him: Military Command, Secrecy, and Wang Tong, all of whom are well-organized assassins. I think you'd better be honest. Hugh wants to cause trouble, if you have to deal with the king of the shepherd, you will lose face at that time, and the queen mother's face will not look good. ”

Zhao Jin raised his head and his eyes slanted: "Cao Zidu, I advise you to see the situation clearly and distinguish between the enemy and me." If you want to help me, deal with Chen Mu with me. If you don't want to help me, don't pull me back. ”

Cao Sheng's face did not change: "When King An first got involved in the army, he didn't know a lot of things, so he should observe more and talk less at this time." If you don't understand the situation and act rashly, you will often fall into the trap of others and bring humiliation on yourself. ”

"You ......" Zhao Jin glared.

Cao Sheng stood up: "King Fang Cai'an persuaded me to see the situation clearly, and now I will send this sentence back to you." You're doing it yourself. ”

With that, Cao Sheng brushed his sleeves and left.

"Cao Sheng, if you don't help me, I think you have a different heart!" Zhao Jin shouted behind him.

Cao Sheng snorted coldly without looking back, turned the moon gate, and went back to his yard.

The military general Ling Jin's face was still bruised, but he was not seriously injured, and stood aside and watched coldly.

With his understanding of Zhao Jin, he can find Zhao Jin's lust and inwardness.

Usually chatting, Zhao Jin thinks that Cao Sheng will be on his side whenever he wants, but in fact this is not the case.

Today's situation is like a basin of cold water poured on his head, Zhao Jin said after the long exam, he did not blame Cao Sheng, and said that loyalty is good for deeds. In a sense, Zhao Jin can be regarded as having received Cao Sheng's education and also experienced Cao Sheng's sincerity. I can't get angry with Cao Shengcai.

Afterwards, I complained about those few words, and I was quite remorseful, and sat in the room and sighed:

"In Xin'an, I'm doing well, I have to let me come to the army. I didn't know there was such chaos in the army, and I wouldn't have come if I knew it was like this. It's all my father's fault, in order to show goodwill to the Queen Mother, he put me in as a son. Let me run to this desolate land to live and suffer. What kind of place is this? With this dilapidated courtyard, can it still be called a royal palace? Even our Xin'an is a rich man's family. Nothing, it's boring. ”

Ling Jin's eyes squinted, he didn't know what to say, and only after a while did he say: "The Queen Mother's power is growing day by day, and there are old grudges between the old prince and Zhao Tong, if you don't take advantage of this time to get closer to the Queen Mother, when will we wait." This is not to promote you to the king, if it weren't for the old prince to find the queen mother, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have a marquis. ”

Zhao Jin nodded: "It's also the same reason, of course I understand, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to my father coming here." ”

Ling Jin said: "The Queen Mother asked us to come over, which can be regarded as winning over the royal family, after all, the master is also a pro-branch, and the family is also a person who can talk, with him to help the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will feel much more relaxed." That's why the Queen Mother gave us this opportunity, let's come here, not to seek merit but to have no fault, as long as we go back safely, we will also have a military merit. When the time comes, the Queen Mother will be happy, and then arrange a Zhonglang general for the little prince, and that will be a serious general. In their own troops, say the same. ”

Zhao Jin frowned: "What's so great about Zhonglang, isn't it one level lower than me?" ”

Ling Jin said: "A Zhonglang general with military power and an empty shell general Yunlu without military power are completely different things. I don't believe you Looking at the Liang Dynasty, whether it is the royal family or the three major gates, those who speak hard are all people who are also the generals of Zhonglang. Without soldiers, you can't get up at any time. Now, if you have 10,000 troops to follow. How dare the Shepherd bully you so blatantly? ”

"Reasonable." Zhao Jin nodded: "I brought you here this time, but I chose the right person." ”

Ling Jin hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "I have also been in the Xuanjia Army for a few years, and it is all thanks to the support of the master that I have the opportunity to return to the army again." Whether it is to the old prince or the young prince, Ling is grateful to Dade. ”

"Well, those words don't have to be said. Tell me how we should take revenge on the Shepherd. ”

"Lord Wang, I don't think it's necessary."

"What's the matter, you've got this wound in vain?"

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. Avoid its edge first, and we'll see in the future. ”

——

At the time of the lantern, in the palace of Ulcheng, Chen Mu played chess with the lame.

Marlan, the servant beside her, was waiting. She doesn't understand the Central Plains tea ceremony, she still learns and sells it now, the tea is weak for a while, and strong for a while, and she drinks the lame man straight to the teeth.

Half a month ago, this horse girl was still a dignified princess, and she had never served others when she was so old, but now she is so wronged, and she can be regarded as having survived a hard road.

After a few days of polishing, Chen Mu felt that the girl's heart had basically stabilized, and said to Mar Lan while playing chess: "Starting tomorrow, I will arrange two maidservants for you and let you do the work of these subordinates." And you officially entered the secretary Lang sequence service. Let Zhang Ga handle your personnel relations for you. It is estimated that it will not be submitted to the military department until after the war. ”

"King Shepherd."

"Don't thank me. When you put on the secretary costume, you will definitely be busier than now. I'll put you in charge of ethnic affairs and recruit capable people for me. I'm sure there should be some masters in the old department of Ulseong, if I can convince them to help me. It's a credit to you and your brother. ”

Mal Lan thought for a while: "The generals who can fight are all my brother's contact, and I can only recruit a female swordsman." The swordsman was originally his father's personal guard. ”

Miss Ma paused for a moment and glanced at Zhong Lixiang: "Just like Miss Zhongli, she protects the safety of the prince during the day and rests with the prince at night." ”

The cripple sneered.

Zhong Lixiang had a cold face.

Chen Muhan said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, Miss Zhongli doesn't accompany me at night." ”

"Huh?"
