In the city of Jinyang, in Liu Wenjing's mansion.

Liu Wenjing was on the bed, sleeping soundly.

Liu Wenjing used to be the commander of Jinyang, and the original residence was naturally the most luxurious place in Jinyang City. When Tang Guogong had never entered Jinyang, Liu Wenjing was still very complacent.

However, when the Duke of Tang entered Jinyang and ruled Hedong, a large number of children of the family followed the dragon. Liu Wenjing gave up his mansion. Tang Guogong also gave Liu Wenjing's original mansion to his fourth son Yuanji.

And the children of the real great families have never cared much about these mansions in the city. The real luxury residence of the family has always been outside the city, closing the mountains, forests and rivers, connecting them together, and building manors in between. The manor is surrounded by a city wall, hundreds of families guard their families, hundreds of slaves and maids run, and there are thousands of slaves in the manor. or farming, or being a craftsman, or hunting and burning charcoal. Everything is self-sufficient, just for the sake of the family. And such a manor, but all the big families, all over the country, not to mention dozens?

Yuan Ji has never put Liu Wenjing's very comfortable city mansion in his heart, or stayed in the manor built outside the city, or went to Jinyang Palace to be with his eldest brother, unless Li Yuan has a call, it is rare to stay in the city.

And Liu Wenjing moved to this much narrower and older mansion, which was originally a little uneven. Seeing Yuan Ji like this, he also understood how ridiculous his self-satisfaction was, what a mere mansion was, and how far he was from the big family!

Liu Wenjing also lived safely in this rather dilapidated and narrow mansion, and her upward heart was even higher!

That's why he used the identity of Jinyang Ling to go deep into Mayi, go straight to the clouds, and contact Liu Wuzhou. Such madness, how could those children of the great clan who followed from the dragon dare to do it!

And because of such a journey, Liu Wenjing not only requisitioned grain and straw on the position of Jinyang Order, prepared for the westward march of the army to Chang'an, and praised military aircraft on a daily basis, but also took on new responsibilities.

Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, is naturally at the pinnacle of this power. But Tang Guogong's temperament has always been to only take care of important matters and neglect details. All the trivial things are now handed over to the prince to complete the cooking. After the completion of the summary there, it will be reported to Tang Guogong, who will make the final decision.

And the military situation in the direction of Ma Yi has always been an important wing that Tang Guogong needs to pay attention to. The military information transmitted from Mayi must also go to Jiancheng there first. But whenever the military situation comes, it can't be handed over to Tang Guogong in every detail, someone must summarize, analyze, judge, and remove the essence before it can be reported to the official. And when Shangguan inquires, there must be a planned response strategy for Shangguan to make a decision. This is the role of the staff, and now Tang Guogong almost handed over the responsibility of the shogunate to the prince, and the completion also divided the responsibility of the staff in all aspects to each cronies. And Liu Wenjing is in charge of Ma Yi.

Tang Guogong was about to raise troops, and military information from all over the place was pouring in like a tide, not only was he on duty in the yaji to receive these military information at any time, but even if he returned to the mansion on duty, as long as there was an emergency military situation from all over the place, these staff members would also receive it at any time, without the slightest delay.

In the past few days, all kinds of military affairs are extremely heavy every day, Rao is Liu Wenjing has great energy, and once he returns to his resting place, he is also so tired that he falls asleep.

Not only Liu Wenjing, but now the entire Tang Guogong group, as long as it is a responsible person, who is not busy like a windmill? Such a heavy thing makes many people simply think, don't care about everything and prepare it thoughtfully, just send troops like this! It's better than in this Jinyang City, everyone is tired to death by this endless thing!

Just as Liu Wenjing was sleeping soundly, he heard a low voice outside his bed: "Da Lang, Da Lang!" ”

Liu Wenjing woke up in shock, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he touched the short dagger that had been hidden next to the pillow. But in an instant, he reacted that it was the voice of his old slave. Outside the tent, the old slave held a candlestick with a protective cage to prevent the wind from blowing, and a yellow and clear light was reflected in the room.

Seeing Liu Wenjing get up, the old slave who had been serving Liu Wenjing all these years opened the tent, Liu Wenjing had already hurriedly moved his feet off the bed, put them on the pedal, waved his hand to prevent the old slave from helping him put on his shoes, and asked while doing it himself: "But there is another military intelligence from Mayi?" ”

This old slave was used in the hands of Liu Wenjing's father back then, and how many years he has been with the Liu family is equivalent to being the elder of the Liu family, and he has also accompanied Liu Wenjing to the point that his eyes are blue these days. muttered: "That Zhang Shilang rushed back, and he didn't let Da Lang sleep soundly for a single sleep, whose life is not his life, so he boiled it up, how can I explain to the old master?" ”

As soon as he heard that Zhang Shilang was rushing back, Liu Wenjing didn't listen to the old slave's chatter anymore, put on his shoes and got up, and strode towards the outside. The old slave held the candlestick and staggered behind him, but he was still greeting: "Dalang, the night is dark, watch your step!" ”

Liu Wenjing's mansion is narrow, but the rules have not diminished at all. If you are not a family member, you cannot enter the inner courtyard for half a step. Liu Wenjing went all the way to the gate of the inner courtyard, and the two house slaves who were guarding the inner courtyard opened the door.

Outside the door of the inner courtyard, Zhang Shilang was dressed in frost and carrying a leather cylinder, waiting outside the door. Seeing Liu Wenjing striding out, Zhang Shilang hurriedly bowed deeply.

This horse dealer in Mayi County back then, I don't know how many of the predecessors of the young men of Mayi County today. Because Mayi County was too small, he went to Hedong to make another day, but he was stuck here until he was hired by Liu Wenjing as a guide. Ma Yi and his entourage, because they were shrewd and capable of doing things properly, were included in the mansion by Liu Wenjing, and were given the status of a small officer in the Eagle Yang Mansion of the Sixth Army, which can be regarded as having a serious background, and now they are sent by Liu Wenjing to pass on the military information of Mayi County, and these days they are even more diligent.

Liu Wenjing waved her hand casually and motioned for Zhang Shilang to get up. Zhang Shilang handed over the leather cylinder silently, Liu Wenjing took it, saw that the beeswax sealing mud was intact, broke it open, and took out the silk book in the leather cylinder.

The old slave silently handed over the candlestick, and took the others to retreat a few steps. Liu Wenjing held the candlestick in one hand and the silk book in the other, quickly glanced at it a few times, his expression changed, and he ordered loudly: "Prepare the horse!" ”

In this mansion, Liu Wenjing's family is like governing the army, and under an order, someone has already brought Liu Wenjing's mount, and several house slaves are also hanging swords and bows, waiting outside the mansion gate. Then the gate of the outer courtyard opened, and Liu Wenjing and Zhang Shilang had already hurried out, and after converging with those guarding slaves, they broke through the silence of the night and went straight to the Jinyang Palace outside the city!
