Chapter 444: Drawing lots

Looking at the person next to the pillow falling asleep, Zhang Xiaowu smiled bitterly, Wanqiu's body was too weak, and her weight was only about eighty pounds, although her body was light, she couldn't withstand his enthusiasm. Zhang Xiaowu couldn't go up and down and couldn't get up or down, so he could only get out of bed, take out the roster personnel form, and focus on personnel arrangements.

All the personnel in charge of the Silver Guards must be their own people, but they can't completely deny the abilities of the former Silver Guards, and even in many places they have to rely on this group of local snakes. It often takes three generations for a person to fully integrate into a new place, and after three generations people will not say that he is a foreigner and completely recognize their identity as a local.

After the seven thousand ghost guards are transferred to Longdu, they will inevitably be unable to integrate into the life of Longdu for the time being, and will even cause pressure on the local people and bring confrontation. And the ghost guards often face the dogs, whose temper and habits need to be corrected, and they will quit their anger and murderous spirit. Otherwise, he is used to fighting and killing, and killing another person at will in Longdu City will bring great trouble, and even Zhang Xiaowu can't guarantee that he will protect everyone.

"Cao Li, Bao Yin, Jia Si and others are too temperamental, what bureau should they be arranged?" Zhang Xiaowu thought bitterly, "These people must be by my side, otherwise it will be easy to cause trouble, and the silver-clothed guards should have their own armed forces, so let them be in charge of the armed forces of the silver-clothed guards." ”

What made Zhang Xiaowu feel most regrettable was Zhang Tongming, this is a thoughtful person, and he is more suitable to stay in the Yinyi Guard, but Zhang Tongming can't leave the Ghost Guard Border Army because of family reasons. And Guan Cheng couldn't follow him to Longdu for special reasons, which was really a pity, he only hoped that they could help Xiao Kai.

Thinking of Xiao Kai, he felt a little guilty, and quietly handed over the border defense task to him, but Xiao Kai did not complain, he decided to hand over half of the Qinglong Army's salary to Xiao Kai and let him dispose of it. The Qinglong Army's military salary originally had 700,000 taels of silver, but 200,000 taels had already been spent before and after, and there were still 500,000 taels left. The 500,000 taels are divided into two, each with 250,000 taels, which is less than 250,000 taels for the border army, and it is also less for the silver-clothed guards, but in such a disaster year, everyone can only tide over the difficulties together.

After feeling a little tired, Zhang Xiaowu returned to the bed, hugged Wanqiu Shen Shen and just closed his eyes, he felt Wanqiu turn around and hug him, and whispered: "Husband, it's good to accompany others day and night, I don't want you to go." ”

Zhang Xiaowu patted her willow leaf waist dotingly, and said, "Naturally, it's good." ”

At three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xiaowu woke up, washed up and had a morning meal, and he immediately gathered everyone in the family and announced to everyone that he was about to go to Longdu to serve as the commander of the silver guard. The thought of going to live in the dragon capital naturally made the servants excited, and everyone wanted to go to the legendary dragon capital.

On the contrary, Wanqiu was stunned for a while after hearing the news that Zhang Xiaowu was about to serve as the commander of the silver guard, and her heart suddenly became complicated, and she even had some restlessness. She knew that she was the daughter of a criminal family, and if her husband went to Longdu, she would inevitably stay, and from then on, the husband and wife would be separated from each other, and they would never see each other again, and they would not even see each other when they were old, and they would be lonely until death.

Thinking of this, Wanqiu endured her sadness and lowered her head, but she didn't want Zhang Xiaowu to catch her and said: "Wanqiu, we will set off in ten days, you are more familiar with Longdu than me, and I still need you to help me find the way at that time." I really don't know about Longdu, what auspicious fang, peony fang, rich fang, murong fang, liuli fang, yan shufang and the like, make me dizzy. ”

Wanqiu asked in surprise: "I ...... Do I go too? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Nonsense, isn't it, you are my wife, how can you not go, don't you accompany me and let me suffocate to death?" ”

Wanqiu slapped him and said, "You can call my origin ......"

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "I have already been enlightened by Emperor Bingming about the crime, and the emperor said that the past has already passed, so don't worry about it." Therefore, the emperor specially forgave you from your sins and restored your free body. If you work hard to give me a string of sons and daughters, perhaps the Emperor will be happy to reward you with a Lady of Commandment. ”

Wanqiu cried with joy, still softly and weakly: "I just want to be with my husband." She then thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Husband, are you the commander of the silver-clothed guard?" That used to be my grandfather's position, but in the end it didn't end well, why did you take this hot yam? She covered her mouth, thinking that Zhang Xiaowu might intervene in the battle for imperial power in the future, and suddenly blushed with anxiety and said: "Husband, husband, it's not good not to go to Longlong, it's too dangerous there." ”

Zhang Xiaowu sighed, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I know that you are worried that I will end up with your grandfather, but I can't help myself in the officialdom, and it is not up to me to decide whether I will be a silver guard or not, after all, the emperor's order is difficult to do, and the emperor needs a person like me to help him sweep away his political enemies and consolidate the imperial power." To put it bluntly, this time I entered Beijing, I went to help the emperor, not to protect the country. Your husband is already deeply involved in political struggle, and now I can only sail against the current and chop the waves-please call me the brother who rides the wind and waves in the future. ”

Wanqiu hesitated: "Husband, will you have many enemies?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "The enemy will have it, and people are not silver, how can they make everyone like it." Even if I am far away in Saibei, don't I still have a bunch of enemies? There are both Inuyi in front of him and an official with a knife behind his back, and since he lives in this world, he will inevitably have to be enemies of others. Fighting with the sky is endless, fighting with the earth is endless, and fighting with people is endless. ”

The servants talked happily for a long time before Mang Chong said, "Master, is everyone going to Longdu?" If everyone goes to Longdu, will the new general be left with no subordinates? ”

"The new general is General Xiao Kaixiao." Zhang Xiaowu said.

Mang Chong said: "That General Xiao is still very pitiful, you took everyone away." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "No, I only took half of the people in the mansion, and the other half stayed as General Xiao's subordinates and continued to stay in the general's mansion." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Kai's family has always lived in the General's Mansion and is an acquaintance with the people in the Mansion, so the subordinates are not afraid of the new general. But since they are all being people, who doesn't want to go to Longdu to do things, they will inevitably be Longdu people in the future.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Okay, in order to avoid everyone's embarrassment, we draw lots to choose, there are thirty-six people in the general's mansion, and I have thirty-six bamboo sticks here, eighteen of which are brushed with black ink." Those who draw black lots go to Longdu, and those who don't draw stay, can there be any objections? ”

"Nope."

The servants took turns to draw lots, and those who won the lottery were overjoyed, and those who did not win could only envy and send blessings, which depended on fate. After the thirty-six people finished drawing, Mangzhong hurriedly asked, "What about mine?" Where's my bamboo skewer? ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled: "You are not a servant, you are in charge, and you must accompany me." ”

Mang Chong gave a look that counted you as having a conscience, and then began to plan in his heart how to eat all the delicacies of Longdu, how to enjoy the prosperous life of Longdu, and how to see those students who were on the list riding horses and paraded the streets.
