At that moment, Ma Zhang's crying pear blossoms brought rain, and Zhao Dangshi's persuasion was ineffective, but seeing her pitiful appearance, he took her in his arms when he was warm.

Ma Zhang exclaimed in a low voice, and with a little joy, he took advantage of the situation and hugged him tightly. She rubbed Zhao Dangshi's broad chest with her head, and gradually stopped crying, which seemed strange: "Since you are in front of everyone, how can you be a slave." "The voice is extremely delicate and sweet, like a child's voice.

Zhao Dangshi Meiyu was in his arms, only to feel that the touch was as soft as a flocculent, and he was already shaken by God, and blamed himself: "Yes, yes, I shouldn't be like this." ”

Just as he was about to let go, Ma Zhang's "uh-huh" gasped, and he pressed his body tighter and said, "No, I want you to hold me tight and never let go." The two of them felt that each other's bodies were hot at the moment, and if they weren't in front of everyone, they were afraid that they would be in the account.

Ma Zhang continued: "I want you to promise me one thing. ”

Zhao Dangshi sniffed the fragrance and was already in his spirit, and said, "You say." ”

Ma Zhang's smiled sweetly: "From now on, in front of others, it will be said that when there are only you and me, you are not allowed to call me any lady, but Miao Bai'er." ”

Zhao Dangshi thought to himself: "Ma Gan's letter of resignation is in my hands, and he doesn't actually treat this Miao Bai as a writer." One of her daughters was lonely and wandering with me, but she just wanted to rely on, so I took her in, and there was nothing wrong with it. Thinking about it like this, he said warmly: "Miao Bai'er, you will be my Miao Bai'er in the future." ”

When Zhang Miaobai heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, adding even more happiness, and she sneered a few times, hoping to have a warm encounter with Zhao Dangshi now.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Brother Zhao! ”

This clear voice like a silver bell suddenly pulled Zhao Dangshi out of the gentle township, he let go of Zhang Miaobai, and looked at that person anxiously, but it was Qin Shilu, who was now blushing and looking at this place in a daze.

There was also Wang Laixing who came with her, who was also red-faced and red-eared, and did not dare to look directly at Zhao and Zhang.

When outsiders arrived, Zhang Miaobai straightened his clothes, and then blessed Zhao Dangshi and Wang Laixing separately, glanced at Qin Shilu, and left.

Wang Laixing waited for her to go away, stepped forward and locked his eyebrows and said, "Brother, how can you mix with her." Zhang Miaobai's style, he has heard and seen it, and because of the director of the posterior, he deals with this woman more on weekdays, and knows her ability. Since he took charge of the company, his mind has matured quickly, and his self-assertion has increased, and now seeing this situation, he began to worry that Zhao Dangshi, who has always been upright, will be confused by the fox's charm.

He was unhappy, but he still cared about his big brother's face, and didn't continue to talk. Zhao Dangshi was embarrassed, blushing slightly, not speaking for a long time, looking at Qin Shilu not far away, she also had a complicated expression, and refused to move in front of her.

Several people were embarrassed, and a broken gong flew out coldly: "Oh, they all command the arrival of the great driver, and the subordinates have not been far away, guilty of sin!" "You don't need to look at people to know how terrifying it must be.

After He Kewei assisted Wang Laixing to stick to Dazhu Mountain, he knew that he had gained a firm foothold in the camp, and he was in high spirits during this time. A few days ago, when the army was reorganized, he led a group of scribes and Confucian scholars from all over the country to make great contributions and made great achievements, so Zhao Dangshi praised him in public for seeking truth from facts, and he became the first Chinese minister in Zhao Ying. Except for a few high-ranking officers such as Hou Dagui, the generals in the battalion began to respect him and called him "Mr. He".

In the government office earlier, He Kewei was a subordinate among the subordinates, not to mention sending others, as long as there was an official in the yamen, which one was not arrogant to him. As for his colleagues and officials, they deceived him alone, and they also joined forces to trick him. Now, on the other hand, nominally he is still only Wang Laixing's second-in-command, but in essence, he has become the leader of the battalion of Chinese soldiers. Since Zhao Dangshi entered Sichuan, he has been forced to collect and accumulate so far, and there are also one or twenty Confucian literati in the later division. Although most of these people are unusable and misbehaved, they can be literate and able to write and ink, and these jobs are beyond the reach of those martial artists. With this, He Kewei began to gradually meddle in military affairs, and said that the previous reorganization of the army, if he had not been in the middle to coordinate and appoint clerks to compile and compile books, it would never have progressed so rapidly.

Zhao Dangshi knew the trick well, on the one hand, he was glad that his plan to recruit scribes had produced good results, and on the other hand, he began to faintly worry about the dominance of the Chinese group in the camp. It seems that it is necessary to promote another person, not to mention fighting against He Kewei, but also secretly acting as a constraint.

The art of kingship is not achieved overnight, but is slowly honed and cultivated. Zhao Dangshi was in it, unaware of the gradual transformation of himself. There are still many places to rely on He Kewei now, so he is also a little kind to him, and squeezes out a smile and says: "Mr. He, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I look younger." ”

He Kewei bent over, tilted his head and waved his hand: "The old body and old bones are all out of line with the word 'young'." It's just that when he saw the arrival of the commander, he was happy and radiant. ”

"Hey, they're all old acquaintances, what's the whole set of red tape? I haven't been to the back office for a long time, so let's take a look today. Zhao Dangshi said as he walked. Fortunately, this surnamed He came forward, otherwise the atmosphere would be really difficult to live.

After walking for a while, Zhao Dangshi peeked at Qin Shilu and followed behind him silently, a little frustrated, and quietly beckoned Wang Laixing and said, "You go and accompany her." Don't make her unhappy. Just let Mr. He accompany you here. "Wang Laixing and Qin Shilu are about the same age, and they are together, so they will not be lonely.

After Zhao Dangshi finished instructing, he said loudly: "Mr. Wang, you are busy with affairs, and you don't work to accompany you." If there is anything, I can ask the master book. Wang Laixing responded to the order and led Qin Shilu to turn elsewhere. When Qin Shilu walked, he looked back at Zhao Dangshi from time to time, and Zhao Dangshi felt a little melancholy in his heart and was ruthless.

He Kewei didn't know the inside story, in his ears, Zhao Dangshi sent the president, as long as he was with him, it was a great honor, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, leading Zhao Dangshi all the way, constantly introducing and telling, and working hard. But Zhao Dangshi didn't think about it, so he just nodded perfunctory.

Walking to a courtyard, there were several people standing in the courtyard, and a group of scribes were dressed. It's just that some of the white shirts are full of grease stains, and some have no clothes to wear, and they are replaced by ordinary clothes, but they still wear a square scarf on their heads, which has a great sense of nondescriptry, and you can also get a glimpse of how low the status and treatment of these scribes in the Zhao camp are.

These scribes hurriedly greeted him, first worshipping Zhao Dangshi, and then worshipping He Ked. Zhao Dangshi found that when he worshipped him, his eyes were mostly afraid and panicked, but when he worshiped He was fearful, he was a little more convinced.

Zhao Dangshi pointed at these down-and-out scribes, and said to He Ked: "You are in charge of the rear office, why don't you let these gentlemen live better?" I have always respected scholars in my camp, but if you act like this and spread the word, will there still be scholars in my camp? ”

He Ke bowed down and said, "It's all a lesson." It's just that his subordinates have been in the Ming court officialdom for a long time, and they empathize with 'useless scholars'. The accumulation of shortcomings in the Ming court began with party disputes, and the subordinates knew this reason, and did not dare to repeat the mistakes of the past, so that the treatment of scribes jumped above the military masters. We and other clerks, usually do things, at most, move their mouths, move their fingers, do not need to spend any effort, so the grain and straw are saved, and the athletes in the battalion are specially supplied to kill more enemies on the battlefield. ”

His words were soft and firm, and he gently pushed back Zhao Dangshi's scolding, which was very different from his usual sycophancy style in the past. Zhao Dangshi understood that these scribes were his subordinates, and in front of his subordinates, he could not bend his will, otherwise he would be despised by his subordinates.

Zhao Dangshi was a little unhappy when he heard him resist, but when he glanced at him with a pleading look in his eyes, he no longer folded his face, nodded and said, "What you said is very true." It's just that the food and straw in the camp are still sufficient, so there is no need to be so frugal. It doesn't hurt to bring some cloth and rice grain. Gentlemen have done their best for me Zhao Ying, and there are still big things to do in the future, and the health of the first thing is important. ”

He Kewei said yes again and again, and gave a few scribes a look, and they also began to sing praises of virtue.

Zhao Dangshi smiled, and walked to leave, but a person walked in outside the door, some of them were familiar, but it was the hundred general He Shihui under Bai Jiaolong, the left division of the middle camp.

When He Shihui saw Zhao Dangshi at first glance, he was first shocked, and then said in embarrassment: "Humble position, I've seen it, I've seen it all commanding." "Said to be a visit, the left and right hands were hidden behind him, a twisting and pinching posture, extremely unnatural.

Zhao Dangshi's eyebrows gathered slightly: "What's behind you?" ”

Anyway, he can't hide it, and He Shihui can only bring the things in his hand to the front. It turned out that he had a small jar of wine in his left hand and a cooked leg of lamb in his right hand.

"Huh? You know I'm coming, and I've prepared food and drinks? Zhao Dangshi seemed to be teasing, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he couldn't raise his head when he looked at him.

He Kewei couldn't help but be suffocated, and he couldn't help but cry bitterly in his heart. When he heard that Zhao Dangshi was coming suddenly, he forgot about meeting with this He Shi in a hurry, and now he really crashed into the arms of the king of Hades.

"Humble duty, humble duty......" He Shihui wanted to justify, but he was already in chaos, how could he come up with any good excuse in a hurry, and remembered the strictness of the military law promulgated in the army, he threw away the wine and meat in panic, "plopped" to kneel, and kept kowtowing, "Humble duty knows wrong, humble duty knows wrong!" ”

Zhao Dangshi stood with his head held high, his face was like frost, and he said coldly: "You are a foreign officer, you went out of the garrison without a general order, and you also despised military law and brought wine privately, and you should be beheaded." Thinking that you have many military achievements, quickly tell the story from the beginning to the end, and if there is any extenuating point, I will consider commuting the punishment to you. ”

He Shihui was on the front line, and he had no time to think carefully, and the "bang" of his head sounded, and the trembling sound brought out the matter. It turned out that Bai Jiaolong had become the general of the left division of the Zhongying camp, but because he was not familiar with Hou Dagui and other generals, he felt deeply isolated, and once he inadvertently talked with He Kewei, and the two hated to see each other late. Although He Kewei gradually took charge of civil affairs, he did not have the backing of force, and it was difficult to feel at ease. And Bai Jiaolong was in the middle camp, afraid of being bullied and excluded by the old people in the camp, and also wanted to contact foreign aid. It just so happened that He Kewei was in charge of the logistics deployment of the middle battalion, and if he was on the line, he would not have to worry about ordnance and food in the future. It happened that Zuo Si's subordinate Bai Shi He Shihui and He Kewei were fellow villagers, and Bai Jiaolong secretly asked him to worship He Kewei as his uncle, which was regarded as a formal cooperation between the two parties. On this day, He Shihui was assigned by Bai Jiaolong to bring wine and meat to contact He Kewei.

Things have risen to the general level, and Zhao Dangshi is not good at attacking on the spot, he shouted sharply: "You are a thief, you are guilty, and you are still biting, what is the master book, and the white general is always unjust, how can you be tolerated!" With a shout, several patrol soldiers outside the courtyard flashed in, listened to Zhao Dangshi's order, and immediately took charge of He Shihui.

He Shihui was paralyzed as mud, and his mouth lamented: "This is indeed the idea of Bai General and Master He." The lowly duty is only to be ordered, and they are all in command of Mingjian! ”

Zhao Dangshi didn't listen to him too much, and gestured to the soldiers with his eyes, and the soldiers gagged him with rags, and he "whimpered" to himself, and could no longer speak.

At present, the march is about to begin, and everything in Zhao Ying is based on stability. It's about Bai Jiaolong and He Kewei, Zhao Dangshi will take care of the severity. He Shi will be a hundred generals, how could he think of such a complicated plot in a panic, nine times out of ten he is telling the truth. But these two people are the backbone of the camp, listening to He Shihui's words, trying to punish them for a while, first, they can't convince the public, and second, they are not conducive to future development. Now the best strategy should be to immediately behead He Shihui, so as to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, remind Bai and He to clean themselves, and at the same time install people to monitor them, and then make moves, and get conclusive evidence, it is not too late to have military law.

After Master He was dragged away, Zhao Dangshi turned his eyes to He Kewei, and found that the other party's lips were bloodless and his face was pale, and he comforted him in a good voice: "Mr. He, don't worry. You are loyal to Zhao Ying, and I don't feel at ease with this kind of small talk. There are all kinds of characters in the camp, and some people with ghosts want to make profits through Mr. ”

How fearful and shrewd, how could he not hear the meaning of Zhao Dangshi's words, stood solemnly, sweating, nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, yes, my subordinates know." At this moment, he was completely imposing, and he was beaten back to his original form, shrinking his head and brain, and very obscene.
