Chapter 12 (47) Linyuan Tower (5)

Shang Cheng was really afraid of Tian Xiu. Seeing that Tian Xiu was silent for a while, he quickly stood up, pretending to be sedentary and sleepy, clenching his fists and bending his arms to move his muscles and bones, walked to the window, glanced at the bustling market outside, and asked without looking back, "What time is it?" ”

Chen Pu replied casually: "It's almost three o'clock on the first shift." ”

Listening to Shang Cheng's tone, it seemed that he was about to call the gang to disperse. From the door to the restaurant, Shangguan Rui, who has never been at the end of the day to the end of the day, and has not found a suitable opportunity all the way to now, is anxious and restless. In a hurry, he suddenly blessed his soul, and without waiting for Shang Cheng to say the following, he preemptively sighed and said, "Hey! Or does the Ministry of Industry have a way to put on a big show, and tens of thousands of dollars of money and grain will be voted if they are said, and they don't even have to stutter! ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Tian Xiu, who was thinking about how to quickly spread the stall after the establishment of the patent department in the next step, was very stunned, but even Chen Pu and Shang Cheng were also quite surprised. Even if Shangguan Rui looks down on Tian Xiu's woman in his heart, he can't say such things in front of Chen Pu, right? He said this, where is the princess of Changsha, not afraid of offending Shang Yanshan? Chen Pu is Shang Yanshan's old boss, and the relationship between the two of them is not something that can be torn apart in three or two sentences, and they are comrades-in-arms who can trust each other with their lives......

Shangguan Rui seemed to be completely unaware of the stunned and puzzled eyes of the three people, sighed, and his tone also changed, and said in a low tone: "...... Look at the Ministry of Labor, and then look at our Ministry of War, I can't help but feel sad. I just temporarily borrowed 200,000 yuan of military funds, and I was scolded by Gu Poyang to the point of blood. It's not Chen Zhuguo who is righteous, I'm afraid that this time I won't die and I will shed my skin! As he spoke, he sighed and sighed.

The turning point of his words was too big, and the turn was too abrupt, which made Tian Xiu look confused. She blinked, no matter what, she wanted to link the spending of money by the Ministry of Industry with Shangguan Rui's misappropriation of military funds. Shang Cheng, who was facing away from the window, rolled his eyelids and smiled helplessly. He talked nonsense with Tian Xiu repeatedly, what should be said and what should not be said, what could not be said, everything was said, and finally got mixed up enough to have a chance to say goodbye and get out, but he still couldn't dodge. His only hope at the moment is that Chen Pu will not accept Shangguan Rui's words......

As soon as he mentioned this, Chen Pu immediately snorted coldly and said very indignantly: "That's it!" It's just that he borrowed some money and food for the time being, and Gu Poyang can't turn the Liyuan camp upside down! He didn't even want to think about it, he was still the deputy head of the Liyuan camp! Liyuan camp suffered, could he be able to increase face?! ”

Shangguan Rui immediately picked up: "I told him, the war in the Jiazhou camp is tight, and the tariffs are tight, so I will embezzle it for a while, and immediately make up for the gap in the Qingzhou command yamen after the money and food of the military department are allocated, but Gu Poyang just doesn't follow!" At present, Qingzhou is just preparing, but Jiazhou is in close contact with the Nanzhao people, which is more important, Gu Poyang can't even weigh it, it's really sighing! He sighed with emotion, and the corner of his eyes swept to see Shang Cheng's expression lukewarm, as if he didn't listen to his and Chen Pu's words in his ears at all, his heart was crossed, a touch of grief and indignation appeared on his face, and he looked at Shang Cheng and asked, "Shang Shangzhu, you are the mainstay of the army, you give a reason, me and Chen Zhuguo, is it wrong or right to do this?" "He was afraid that his weight would not be enough, so he directly took Chen Pu with him one by one, I don't want this old face, you can't hear that Princess Changsha is also implicated, or is she indifferent, right?

Shang Chengdu was almost amused by this. Filling the gaps? When Shangguan Rui said this, he just deceived Chen Pu. The money and food in the Jiazhou camp are allocated by the Jiazhou Household Department, and the Military Department is in it where the documents are forwarded, even if Shangguan Rui wants to fill this hole, what will he use to fill it? The money and food of the Liyuan camp? Nonsense! The annual money and grain of the Liyuan battalion have a fixed amount, and Shangguan Rui dares to use it to fill Qingzhou, and the officers and soldiers below dare to block the yamen of the military department and scold his mother. Why is Gu Poyang so angry? Because it won't come back at all! It is precisely because he can't get it back that Gu Poyang wants to make a big deal out of it, but this tone must come out!

But Shangguan Rui said it to this point, and he couldn't pretend not to hear it anymore. He walked over and sat down again, picked up the tea soup that Tian Xiu had poured for him, took two sips, and asked with a smile: "How is the war over there in Jiazhou?" ”

How is the war in the southwest, except for Tian Xiu, who else has no bottom in their hearts? Shang Cheng Shangguan Rui and Chen Pu, the three of them are all generals in the army, and the military department will inevitably send a copy to them for reading when Jiazhou's major affairs and small affairs report is announced. But there is a reason why Shang Cheng asked. No matter what Shangguan Rui says next, there needs to be a transition and foreshadowing, otherwise, Shangguan Rui is not easy to say directly, and Shang Cheng has no reason to meddle in the war in the southwest. Although both of them knew in their hearts that what they really wanted to say was after the war briefing, this passage could not be skipped.

"The war is going well." Shangguan Rui said without any hindrance. Again, this opening sentence cannot be omitted. Whether it is public or private, he must have absolute confidence in the war in the southwest! Yu Gong didn't say it, this is a national war, and you must have the confidence to win, even if you doubt the outcome of this war, you must say it in a bright place, not in your own restaurant; Yu Private, he and Xiao Jian have been very affectionate for forty years, no matter what, he can't watch his old friend plant another big heel! Therefore, Xiao Jian complained a little in a private letter, saying that the local people had been displaced after a long war, and it was difficult to levy people, so he did not hesitate to find the military department to do something, and transferred the 200,000 yuan of money and grain sent to Qingzhou to the Liyuan camp, and then sent it to Jiazhou. 200,000 is really not much, but it's better than nothing. He really wants to help his old friend......

"The war is going well." Shangguan Rui emphasized again.

He was also right, just looking at the battle report received by the military department, the battle was fought smoothly and smoothly. Since Xiao Jian started in Jiazhou in July and August, the war against Nanzhao has been relatively smooth, and the Jiazhou camp will send back a good news every three or five days. The Middle Route Army of Rongzhou has recovered Rongzhou, and is raising ships to store grain and grass, preparing to cross the river to attack the Aji Department and the Xiazhi Department of Nanzhao Mangshanman; After the Luzhou army on the right flank repelled three attacks by Nanzhao Ye Siman, the battle on the eastern front also reached a stalemate, and the Luzhou army planned to take advantage of the drop in the water level of the river in winter to establish three military villages on the south bank of the river, forming horns against each other, so as to oppress the enemy's range of activities and force them to retreat in the direction of Shenzhou and Banzhou. However, at present, the focus of the Zhao army is still on the right side, and the main force is distributed from Chengdu to Jiazhou to Jiangshui, waiting for an opportunity to seek an opportunity to fight with the main force of Nanzhao.

Chen Pu suddenly said: "Xiao Laoshuai's three-way army is in an oppressive formation, and I think it looks like a nineteen-year grassland battle. At that time, we were also ......" She suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the private room had become very depressing, so she unconsciously stopped talking, raised her eyes and looked, Shang Cheng lowered his head and held the tea cup, Shangguan Rui looked straight ahead, both of them looked weird, but they were silent. She swallowed her saliva, and only after a while did she say weakly, "...... Am I wrong? ”
