Chapter 156 ends here

When feeding the horses, Gollum kept snorting, and he was very dissatisfied with being locked up in this small enclosure, and his hooves were constantly digging the ground, and he looked very irritable.

"Wait two more days, and when the ground is freezing, I'll take you out for a few turns." Chen Cheng fed it black beans and radish sweet potatoes, then picked up the brush and cleaned its hair, "Just stay here obediently these days, staying at home is a dream for many people..........

Chen Cheng said for a while, then suddenly paused, and said in his heart: "Could it be that it's time to come into heat?" ”

He looked at the snow outside, and it wasn't the right season. Well, Gollum has grown so big, it's time to find him some beautiful mares. With its physique, ten or eight is estimated to be too much.

After feeding the horses, Chen Cheng returned to the room, ready to see if there were any omissions in "Probability Theory". As soon as I picked up the paper, footsteps sounded in the hallway. The guards wrapped in thick fur walked in and said loudly: "Lord, the more the king of the assassin asks to see!" ”

"Huh?" Chen Cheng paused his hand and said, "Let him in." ”

"No!"

A moment later, Wang Yue hurriedly walked in. His head and body were stained white, and his boots were also stained with snowflakes. Wang Yue untied his weapon outside the door, then stomped his feet, cleaned up with a grass target, and cleaned his shoes before he walked in.

"Lord!" Wang Yue said: "The minister has something important to report, please retreat." ”

Chen Cheng waved his hand, and the guards who led the way retreated to the next room.

"Sit down and talk, what's so urgent?"

Wang Yue sat on the Hu chair, swallowed his saliva, and said in a low voice: "The identity of the assassin has been found out before. ”

Although he knew that there was no one else in the room, he still looked to both sides as he spoke.

Chen Cheng increased his forehead with his hand, and said helplessly: "Just talk, what else to see?" Can't you just finish it all at once? ”

Wang Yue said curtly: "The stakes are very high, you have to be careful." ”

"Say it, say it!"

Wang Yue said in a low voice: "Those assassins have an accent from Chang'an, but they are from Fuping, and someone has seen them appear near Yang Shangshu's mansion. ”

Chen Cheng's back straightened, and the aura on his body suddenly became fierce, "You mean that this matter has something to do with Yang Qiu?" Or was he the one who sent someone to assassinate me? ”

Yang Qiu is in the position of secretary of the Ministry of War, and in case of emergency, he can transfer troops first and then make up the procedures. Not only did they bring hundreds of parts over, but they also had tens of thousands of troops in Fuping. If it was really him, he was afraid that many people would die next, Wang Yue also knew that the situation was serious, and he no longer angrily reprimanded Cheng Yishi's temperament before, and said in a low voice; "It can only be said that there is such a possibility."

Chen Cheng tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It won't be Yang Qiu, he has been to Linrong with me, and he won't be stupid enough to think that a few assassins can make any difference." ”

He said to Wang Yue: "Don't investigate this matter again, report the results in your hands to Yang Qiu and Lu Fang, well, Zhongshu Ling will also notify them, and other people will not let them know." ”

Wang Yue stood up and arched his hand: "No! ”

After Wang Yue left, Chen Cheng pondered in the room for a while. Could it be Yang Qiu? Probably not. Even if it has something to do with Yang Qiu, it doesn't necessarily mean that he did it. Even if he did it, he couldn't attack Yang Qiu. Now is the time to buy horse bones, and you can't say that you will stew the horse bones and make soup when you turn your head.

Chen Cheng only regarded it as if he didn't have this thing, what should he do or what he should do, as for adding some arrows to the "inventory", it was just a convenient thing to do, not worth mentioning.

The next morning, a carriage came from the north of the city, "creaking" through the west gate into the city, and then went straight into the governor's mansion. Liu Qian had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw the carriage, she immediately put on her boots, jumped off the snow, and ran up "rubbing", shouting: "Zi Jia'er!" ”

A little girl about eight years old with lilac eyes stepped out of the carriage. There was still a nervous look in her eyes, but when she saw Liu Qian, she suddenly felt a lot more relieved, she grabbed Liu Qian's hand tightly, and said softly: "Sister Liu!" ”

"Ah, your hands are so cold," Liu Qian held Zi Jia'er's little hand and walked inside, "Go to my room, there is a kang in it, but it's warm." ”

"Well," Zi Jia'er was pulled forward by Liu Qian and said weakly: "There is also a kang in the school, and it is also very warm. ”

"Then there is a kang in my room, and we can roast sweet potatoes and potatoes to eat."

The two children ran briskly along the eaves of the porch into the house, then closed the door to keep the cold out. Chen Cheng heard the movement outside, moved his body in the chair, and involuntarily smiled on his face, small animals and children can always arouse the soft place in people's hearts.

But this softness was soon frozen by the cold, the door was pushed open, and in the north wind howling, the guards walked in and reported loudly: "Lord, Yang Qiu, the secretary of the military department, asks to see you!" ”

Chen Cheng said in a deep voice: "Pass! ”

Under the eaves, the footsteps were hurried, and under the leadership of the two tooth soldiers, Yang Qiu dragged a young man in. After entering the door, Yang Qiu slammed the young man to the ground and said hatefully: "Make it clear, if you miss a word, I will kill you now!" ”

Seeing this, Chen Cheng understood a little in his heart, he waved his hand, and said to the tooth soldiers inside and outside the house: "You go out first." ”

"No!"

The tooth soldiers retreated under the eaves, their eyes looking at the snow in the courtyard, but their ears were ridged, and if there was any noise inside, they would rush in at once.

Chen Cheng smiled and said to Yang Qiu: "What's the matter, having such a big temper?" ”

"This is my nephew, I brought him here today to report something to the lord," Yang Qiu kicked the man on the ground and scolded angrily: "Why don't you say it quickly? ”

The young man on the ground shook his body from the kick, he lowered his head and said, "That...... This one........... It's none of our business......... It's not .......... us either."

The smile on Chen Cheng's face was even brighter, and he said with a pleasant face: "Say it slowly, don't worry." ”

The young man kneeling on the ground was speechless, Yang Qiu became more and more angry, and he said hatefully: "This kid once had a meal and wine with those assassins, and the lord went to Helan Mountain to hunt, and the selected place was leaked out by him!" ”

The young man immediately cried out, "No, I didn't think to tell them, I just drank too much and accidentally leaked my mouth, but I didn't mean to tell them!" Chen Yuanjun, Chen Yuanjun, you must believe me! I didn't say it alone, there were more than a dozen of us that day........"

Yang Qiu raised his fist and hit the young man on the ground, and scolded in his mouth: "Tell you to drink, let you talk nonsense!" ”

Hearing a noise in the room, the tooth soldiers held down the hilt of their knives together and looked inside. Chen Cheng stood up, stepped forward, pulled Yang Qiu away, and then pressed him to the chair. Yang Qiuwu couldn't understand his hatred and kicked the young man on the ground.

Chen Cheng shook his head at the tooth soldiers outside, then sat back in his chair and said, "I have already told Wang Yue, there is no need to investigate this matter below, let's stop here." ”

Yang Qiu snorted at the young man on the ground and scolded, "Haven't you thanked the lord yet?" ”

The young man was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, lying on the cold ground, and said inarticulately: "Thank you Chen Yuanjun." ”

Chen Cheng showed a bright smile on his face and said: "Young people, it's common to like to drink and talk nonsense, if you do something wrong, you can honestly accept punishment, and you can still be a useful person to society in the future, Yang Shangshu, don't you say?" ”

Yang Qiu didn't dare to look at Chen Cheng's smile, looked down, and said vaguely: "Yes." ”

Chen Cheng touched the wound on his face, which was almost healed, and said, "Anyway, I'm fine, let's stop here." Don't beat him, kid, just go back and educate him. ”

Yang Qiu's head hung lower, "Yes." ”

"Oh, that's right," Chen Cheng seemed to remember something, and said: "I heard you say that there are too many things in the military department before, and I am going to equip you with a helper, and you can take the idea of major matters in the future, and the miscellaneous matters will be handed over to the people below." Well, what do you think? ”

Yang Qiu raised his head in amazement, met Chen Cheng's bright smile head-on, and said hurriedly: "It's not ......."

The smile on Chen Cheng's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Yang Qiu, and he asked, "What's not?" ”

Yang Qiu's heart suddenly suddenly, his breathing was a little unsmooth, he swallowed his saliva, and said carefully: "The minister wants to ask, who will be sent to the military department, and the minister can hand over to him." ”

Chen Cheng thought for a while, and a name popped out of his mind, and said: "Just Xu Wen, he is good at leading troops to fight, and he is also well organized when managing the wounded barracks, so he will be given the rank of squire of the military department." In the future, the miscellaneous affairs of the military department will be handled by him, and Yang Shangshu, you will only be in charge of major matters. Well, don't just focus on the Northland, you are in charge of big things, take a long-term view, pay attention to collecting the situation of Han Sui and Chang'an, next year, or the year after that, we may have to deal with them. ”

Yang Qiu was surprised and delighted, and asked, "Are you going to use troops against them?" ”

The smile on Chen Cheng's face gradually disappeared, and he said lightly: "This kind of thing can only be decided after the three provinces discuss together, and it is too early to say." ”

"Yes, yes, it's Chen Menglang."

"If it's okay, take your nephew back," Chen Cheng smiled: "Don't beat him again, young man, be tolerant of them, you know, young people are like the sun in the morning." The world is ours and theirs, and we are not willing to give the world to ..... Ahem, I mean that the world will eventually be in the hands of young people, and young people will be strong......... Liangzhou strong ........"

Chen Cheng pursed his lips as he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's it, let's go back first." ”

Yang Qiu retreated with the beaten young man beyond recognition, and then was taken out of the courtyard by the tooth soldiers. Chen Cheng watched them leave, showing a thoughtful expression.

Yang Qiu would make some moves after being briefed by Wang Yue, which Chen Cheng had thought of. But he would bring his nephew directly over, which Chen Cheng didn't expect. He pondered in the room for a long time, picked up the paper and wrote an edict, after using the seal, he sealed it with ink, and then called a tooth soldier and said, "Send this letter to Zhao Yun, the commander of the waiter." ”

"No!"
