Just when Huang Qiong and Zhao Wuxian were discussing what to do next, the Tongzhi Master finally came back with a stack of books and a few gray-haired old men. Seeing that this fellow knew that he was back, although he didn't want to get angry in his heart, Huang Qiong couldn't suppress the anger in his heart right now: "This king still thought that before the rebels attacked the city, he wouldn't see the figure of the honorable driver. ”

"This king didn't know that it was the light and strong people who fled so cleanly in the prison that they were reduced to only a few elderly people to help defend the city. Lord Tongzhi, are you so patient to let these people, who are older than your father, come and help you guard the city? Aren't you afraid of damaging your yin virtue? ”

Hearing the displeasure in Huang Qiong's tone, this fellow acquaintance with a round figure wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly and cautiously explained: "Back to the prince's words, these old men are not arrested to help defend the city. They are all among the villagers who were dragged into the pass by the rebel generals, and they found people who had eaten food in the border army and could operate artillery. ”

"Lord Wang, the small business is really disadvantageous, but I can't find a young one in the local area, so I can only invite these old people here. Although I'm older, it's better to have some use than nothing, isn't it? Even these few people have been looking for more than an hour before they try to find it. ”

It's okay that this guy didn't explain, but after listening to his explanation, Huang Qiong was even more angry and almost dizzy. He didn't know how this fellow knew how he got to this position. If you rely on the power of the family, you can find such a rich oily and watery person and wait for death. If this person is promoted to this position because of his talent, then this person can be described as completely deaf.

It's either two hundred and five like this guy, or it's a fool. Otherwise, he just received a lot of money and goods from this guy. Shut up the defenders of 3,000 people, and he only ordered these two things. In the matter of finding the gunner, he could have delegated someone else to do it, but he came to do it himself.

Another matter of counting the materials in the customs has a clear account book. As long as this guy's hand is not stretched too long, it won't take more than an hour to find a way to cover it up, right? Huang Qiong didn't think it was a mistake for him not to accompany him on the shut. Huang Qiong thinks that she is not so noble, and she must be accompanied by officials there.

But the war is imminent, and how many things are waiting for him to consult with the food and salary colleagues. Instead, he went to do something that could be explained to others. Two things that could have been done easily, but he had been grinding for more than an hour. I really don't know what this guy is thinking in his head, or what he is thinking.

However, this guy is not completely confused. looked at the British king in front of him, and after listening to his explanation, his face was a little gloomy, and he immediately understood that he had done something wrong again. He was extremely remorseful in his heart, if he hadn't been standing in front of Huang Qiong right now, he would have been eager to give himself two big mouths. In terms of materials, he thinks that although he may not have nothing to do, he is still in the past.

At this point, he is still very confident. But when I was looking for someone to operate the gun, I was confused about it. could have been completely explained to his subordinates, but in the end, in order to steal credit in front of the king, he had to do it himself. As a result, it turned out to be a bit self-defeating. actually let the king of England wait here for more than an hour.

It's just that it's too late to regret it now, and he only hopes that the person he found to operate the cannon can alleviate some of the king's dissatisfaction with him. He wasn't worried about the British king, the Shang Fang sword in his hand really cut himself. is also a child of a family, and the king of England will have some scruples, and he must not really do such a desperate thing.

He was more worried that the King of England would cut himself down in anger. In that case, he will become a joke for the whole family. I worked hard to find a chance for myself to be released, and I still planted such a fat man, and I still had to cut myself down?

Fortunately, Huang Qiong is not the kind of person who cares about everything, no matter what, this guy is still the gunner he found, even if he is a little older, but it is much better than nothing. Besides, he doesn't need to be the deputy commander of the Tiger Prison, and Zhao Wuxian is a lieutenant in charge of commanding the war, and he also needs this guy to help stabilize the morale of the army.

As long as these cannons can be fully exerted to their power, and the tiger prison is contained before the main army arrives, the grasp will be more sufficient. Although Huang Qiong also knew that these cannons, which had never been maintained for more than a hundred years, had little hope of meeting their needs. But as long as you don't explode, even if you can only hear a sound, it's better to have than nothing.

Thinking of this, Huang Qiong still decided to let this guy go. Seeing that Huang Qiong's face gradually cleared, this fellow acquaintance, who was frightened at this time, landed a little bit in his heart. Hurriedly took a few gray-haired old men and stepped forward and said, "Your Royal Highness, these gunners, do you want them to try?" ”

Seeing that this guy led those old men in front of him, although Huang Qiong was not satisfied, it was not good to send it out in front of these old men. He didn't put on a princely stand, but was polite, and said to the old man who was still standing straight in front of him despite his age: "Dare to ask a few old men, how long will you live this year?" Will these cannons really be released? ”

This acquaintance, when he found these old men, did not say that there was a prince in Guanzhong. When they first met, these old men thought that the young man in front of them, who looked polite, was just an official. Although at Huang Qiong's age, he doesn't seem to be a big official.

But a few veterans who have eaten food in the barracks for several years also know the rules of the army. As long as it is a poor officer, even if it is only a seventh-grade official, it is also a third-level official. When they saw the swaggering Tongzhi in front of them, behaving like a gray grandson in front of this young man, and respectfully addressing him as the King of England, they knew that there was actually a prince in Kannai.

At this time, when they heard that Huang Qiong was polite and as fat as the pig, and asked him with a completely different attitude, several old soldiers hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed according to the rules of the army: "The little one didn't know that the British prince had arrived, it was a bit rude, and I asked His Royal Highness the British King to forgive me." ”

Seeing several old soldiers kneeling and kowtowing to him, Huang Qiong hurriedly stretched out his hand to help them up and said, "You don't have to be polite. In terms of age, all of you are the elders of this king. If you are in terms of seniority, you must be the elders of this king. How can there be an elder in this world who kneels and kowtows to the younger generation? ”

"This king is just the light of some surnames, and he has no contribution to the country or the people. Where can you afford such a big gift from a few old men? When you do such a great salute, you are tormenting the king. A few old men hurry up, this big gift king can't afford to wait. ”

Huang Qiong's words made several old men who had almost been soldiers all their lives feel warm in their hearts. In their lives, they have never seen such an unscrupulous official. What's more, this is not an ordinary official. Rather, they were countless levels older than the generals they originally followed. Who is the Prince? That's the dragon son and the phoenix grandson.

For those of them who have lived at the bottom all their lives, except for the emperor, these princes are the highest in this world. And such a person, in the face of those who have been the leading soldiers all his life, is so humble and polite, how can he not make these people grateful. Even if they are old, they are already eager to serve this prince.

In fact, Huang Qiong did this in the face of these old men, it was really not that he wanted to win the hearts of the people. These old men are already a lot old, and the local people are big soldiers for a lifetime. Besides, in the city of Manguan, at this time, except for Zhao Wuxian and the same acquaintance, as well as the guards and soldiers, there was not even a single common man. He wanted to win over, but no one cheered him on.

He just felt that he was young now, and he felt a little uneasy to let a few old people who could be his grandfather kneel and kowtow to himself. It's just that Huang Qiong didn't expect that his style would become winning over the people in the eyes of that fellow intellectual. Although these ordinary people, in the eyes of the same acquaintance who was born in a family, they are almost useless.

Even in his heart, these old men are not worth even a penny, except for the fact that they can ignite a cannon at the moment. He really didn't know, what did the king of England do to win over these people? Let them fire the cannon, they can already afford to look at them. However, although he didn't know that Huang Qiong was really just respecting the elderly, this guy felt that his opportunity to save his image in front of Huang Qiong had come.

He walked up to a few old men, clasped his hands into fists and saluted deeply: "A few old men, His Royal Highness is eager to seek talent. At present, the tiger prison is in danger again, and I ask a few old men to give advice. "God knows, this guy from a family has been so humble for these untouchables in his eyes since he was born.

It's just that this guy is condescending, and people don't pay attention to him. Although these veterans are illiterate, they have also been out there for decades, and they have fought countless big and small wars. People who are accustomed to seeing life and death, what else can't be seen through. What's more, people are old spirits, ghosts and old spirits, how can he hide his thoughts, these people are used to seeing wind and waves?

Seeing that this fellow knew that no one was a little embarrassed, Huang Qiong could only shake her head helplessly: "You don't want to be here, go and cooperate with Zhao Duwei to make defensive arrangements." From now on, this king will appoint Zhao Duwei as the acting commander of the Tiger Prison Pass, and be fully responsible for the war in the Tiger Prison Pass. You and the generals of the Tiger Prison have no harm in cooperating with Zhao. If there is disobedience, the king will not be spared. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Qiong looked at this fellow acquaintance and said, "As for you, if you don't do well, you will be punished for several crimes." Other generals don't listen to orders, and this king has to ask you alone. Don't forget, you are not only the Fumin Tongzhi of the Tiger Prison, but also the overseer appointed by the imperial court. If something goes wrong, this king will look for you if he doesn't look for someone else. ”

looked at this guy who quickly turned into a bitter gourd face after listening to his words, and wanted to say something but didn't dare. Huang Qiong didn't pay attention to him, just looked at him coldly. In fact, if this Tongzhi is an adult, if he knows Huang Qiong's personality, or if he is familiar with some words with the people of the British Palace, he should know that this young prince, with a cold face, is actually nothing serious.

If he's smiling at you, that's really trouble. The more you smile, the bigger the problem, if you only move the corners of your mouth when you laugh, but your eyes are cold, needless to say, it is definitely murderous. If it's just a cold face, then you have made a mistake, but it's not a big problem. Even if you hit the board, you may not be able to get on the wheel.

But the problem is that this guy doesn't know Huang Qiong's character. Seeing Huang Qiong looking at him with a cold face, he was frightened and hurriedly dragged Zhao Wuxian away. In fact, Huang Qiong's character, Zhao Wuxian found out some. It's just that Zhao Wuxian, who also looks down on this guy, of course won't explain this.
