Shen Leng asked Chen Ran to send Amber home, leaning against the courtyard wall alone and gasping for a while, he didn't know what the name of the killer was just now, but he knew that he was almost killed so inexplicably just now, just like the water on the Nanping River, it looks calm, but you don't know where it is, and there is an undercurrent vortex below.

Then he woke up to one thing, he was no longer Shen Leng when he first joined the army, nor Shen Leng when he just studied with his husband, let alone Shen Leng who carried a big bag by the river to do coolies, but a Shen Leng who made others blush and made others jealous.

So even if there is no sudden accident today, there will be no fewer accidents in the future.

"You really don't have to go back and rest?"

After Chen Ran sent Amber back, he saw that Shen Leng was still wheezing and felt a little distressed: "Why are you going back to the barracks like this?" ”

"Nothing."

Shen Leng looked down at his bitten little finger and shook off the blood on it: "Do me a favor, bury the body, no matter who he is or what his name is, aside from hatred and antagonism, he is also a loyal man, and he came from the north to kill me alone...... Rare. ”

Chen Ran snorted, picked up the horizontal knife from the ground, dug a pit by the river and buried the body, thought about it, cut off a small tree and cut a wooden plaque and poked it there, he and Shen Leng are not considered Jianghu guests, but they both have a bit of Jianghu righteousness in their hearts, this killer should have a tombstone.

Coincidentally, this is exactly the place where he thought it was good last night.

The sunrise river flowers are red.

Shen Leng squatted by the river and washed his face and hands with the cold river water, the rain clouds by the river came and went quickly, and after a burst of rain, they were blown away by the wind, and the red on the river surface made people's hearts warmer.

When he arrived at the camp of the sailor, he was a little late, and he had just entered his military tent to change his clothes when he heard someone calling his name outside, and as soon as Shen Leng turned around, he saw Zhuang Yong's personal soldiers pushing the door open, and Zhuang Yong stepped in from behind.

"Huh?"

Zhuang Yong saw the injury on Shen Leng's body: "Who?" ”

Shen Leng replied in a low voice: "From the northern Xinjiang." ”

Zhuang Yong's expression suddenly became serious: "Northern Xinjiang or Eastern Xinjiang?" ”

"There is only one person, who said that he came from northern Xinjiang, and it should be Pei Xiao's personal soldiers."

"Alone."

Zhuang Yong suddenly turned around and ordered: "Send the fleet to chase east along the Nanping River, all cargo ships, merchant ships and ferries within five hundred miles will be intercepted and inspected, don't care how many miles, the ships that left the port from last night to this morning will be chased and investigated." ”

Shen Leng: "The general suspects that there are comrades?" ”

"Perhaps."

Zhuang Yong looked at the injuries on Shen Leng's body: "Go home and rest." ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "I don't want Cha'er to see it." ”

Zhuang Yong shook his head helplessly: "You can arrange it, it's just to prepare for the drill, not to do everything yourself, and appropriately put some power to your subordinates, they will also be happy and grateful to you." ”

Shen Leng thought that this is the way to employ people? So he nodded: "Okay, I'll let Dewey Ming, Yang Qibao, Wang Kuohai, and the three of them arrange it in a while." ”

"You mentioned Dewey."

Zhuang Yong sat down on the stool: "I arranged for Du Weiming's family to be in Huaiyuan City, I was worried that this person would be bought by Mu Xiaofeng, so I didn't tell him where his family lived, now it seems that this person doesn't need to worry about suspicion, you see him in a while, tell him the address, he will be more loyal to you in the future." ”

Zhuang Yong said the address of Huaiyuan City, Shen Leng lowered his head and said, "The general knows that I asked people to check?" ”

"There's not much in the water division that can hide from me."

Zhuang Yong said: "What you did is not wrong, let people like Dewey Ming follow you with all their hearts, and it will be of great use in the future." ”

Shen Leng raised his head and looked at Zhuang Yong: "The general should scold me." ”

"Scolding you?"

Zhuang Yong laughed: "You learned from Shen Xiaosong's cheeky blue and better than blue, I scolded you for it?" ”

Shen Leng smiled embarrassedly.

He's been thinking about one thing, a very, very important thing...... Cen Zheng gave him the Tongwen box, does Zhuang Yong know or not? If Zhuang Yong doesn't tell Zhuang Yong, Zhuang Yong already knows, then it is inevitable that the two of them will drift away from each other in the future, if Zhuang Yong doesn't know and he told him, then Zhuang Yong's attitude towards His Majesty will change a little and resent?

"What are you thinking?"

Zhuang Yong glanced at Shen Leng, and Shen Leng took a deep breath: "I have a communication box." ”

Zhuang Yong's face changed suddenly, and he stood up and closed the door tightly: "Do you want to die?" ”

Shen Leng shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak.

"The Messenger Box is the biggest secret, you shouldn't tell me, if Your Majesty knows that you tell someone about this casually, you will cut off your head! Just because of your words, even Shen Xiaosong and Cha'er may be implicated! ”

"If I don't tell the general, I'm afraid of suffocating myself."

After Shen Leng finished speaking, he felt relaxed: "The general also knows that His Majesty is not targeting the general you when he puts the news box in the water division, but because the general's every move on the bright side is watched by those people, even if the general interacts with someone, they will see it to death, and if the news box enters and exits from the general's hand, there will be hidden dangers, so he will arrange for others to be like Cen Zheng and me." ”

Shen Leng said: "Since it's not aimed at the general and I'm too young to be afraid that I can't carry the weight of the news box, it's better to ......."

He glanced at Zhuang Yong.

Zhuang Yong: "What are you thinking?" ”

When Cen Zheng gave me the news box, he said that the things that are beneficial to the sailor can be reported if they are not reported to the major, but they must be reported if they are harmful...... Good headache. ”

Shen Leng said: "Or the general will write it?" ”

Zhuang Yong: "Shen Leng, when did you start scheming?" ”

Shen Leng paused for a moment: "What? ”

Zhuang Yong said with a solemn face: "You told me about the Tongwen box, didn't you want me to pay more attention to you, didn't you want to gain my greater trust?" ”

Shen Leng couldn't help but laugh out loud, but the smile was a little bitter: "General...... I might as well stammer with you, as well as with His Majesty the Emperor. ”

After a while, Zhuang Yong breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm worried that if you put too much of your mind on this, your future road will be much wider than others, and there is no need to figure out people's hearts and intrigue like them...... Forget it, I know what kind of temperament you are, but I'm worried that you'll lose yourself by ascending too quickly. ”

Shen Leng: "I really don't need to use scheming means to seek anything now. ”

After changing into a piece of clothing, he moved his limbs and bandaged the cut on his little finger with gauze: "When my husband was teaching, it was the only thing I didn't like to hear, but if I wanted to do it, I wouldn't do it badly, and I don't have to wait until now." ”

Zhuang Yong nodded: "Let's not mention this matter for the time being, you can't tell anyone anymore, I know that you and Chen Ran are good brothers, and even he can't say it." ”

Shen Leng sighed and didn't say anything more.

"I'm here to ask you something."

Zhuang Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You are now leading three standard battalion soldiers, Wang Kuohai, Du Weiming, and Yang Qibao each lead a standard battalion, but you still lack a deputy, Wang Gendong came to me early this morning, I want to follow you......"

Shen Leng: "That's embarrassing. ”

Zhuang Yong: "I know, you were his subordinate before, but now he follows you, one level lower than you...... After returning from Southern Xinjiang, he was promoted to the fifth grade, and according to his rank, he just happened to be your deputy. ”

Shen Leng: "The general misunderstood, it's not that I'm afraid that Wang Gendong will be embarrassed, I mean I'm embarrassed, if this continues, the more powerful people under the general's command will be robbed of everything......"

Zhuang Yong: "I faintly heard some shamelessness in your tone. ”

Shen sneered: "The general who knows me is also ...... I lack a pro-soldier team, how many people do I plan to select from this banner, and the general will transfer a few more from his own pro-soldier team to me? ”

Zhuang Yong was stunned in his heart, and suddenly understood Shen Leng's thoughts, so he glared at him: "What else do you want?" ”

Shen Leng: "How does the general know what else I want...... I'd like to pick ten knives from my arsenal. ”

"Say what you want."

"I want to train a scout team."

"You pick your own people."

"And one more thing...... The people who follow me may be more dangerous in the future than those who follow others, so I may be more generous in terms of rewards. ”

Zhuang Yong: "I'll let the money and grain master book allocate more to you." ”

Shen sneered and said, "General, you treat me so well, do you want to accept me as a godson?" ”

Zhuang Yong got up and walked out: "Crazy......"

Shen Leng: "The general walks slowly." ”

Zhuang Yong suddenly turned around: "Then are you willing?" ”

Shen Leng shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, no......"

Zhuang Yong thought of that possibility, even if Shen Xiaosong didn't tell him anything, how could he not guess, if this possibility was really possible...... Then it would be disrespectful to accept Shen Leng as a righteous son, so Xiaoxiao didn't say anything.

Shen Leng waited for Zhuang Yong to leave, and leaned heavily on the chair, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart...... It turns out that the army is so tired, and the tiredness is not the fighting on the battlefield or the rigorous training, but the tiredness.

He wanted to reassure Zhuang Yong, so he asked Zhuang Yong to allocate his own soldiers over, and in order to facilitate the communication with Zhuang Yong about the news box, he suddenly remembered what Mr. Shen had said when he was studying in the Taoist temple by the river...... The most complex thing in the world is the human heart, so dealing with people is also the most tiring and hardest thing, the more you go to a high place to contact people, the more difficult it is to deal with people, the hearts of people in this world are changed for people's hearts, and they are never in the scheme.

Then Shen Leng once again thought of the question he had been thinking about all these years but couldn't get an answer to...... Who am I?

Coming out of the military tent, Shen Leng looked at the clear sky outside, the clouds were flowing quickly to the north, and I don't know if it will float all the way to Meng Chang'an in the northern Xinjiang, and he is also working hard in the northern Xinjiang, right?

Perhaps, harder.

From the Wupin Guoyi general Wang Gendong striding towards him, it can be seen that this veteran who has experienced vicissitudes of life has a bit of relief and satisfaction on his face, everyone wants to follow Shen Leng not because Shen Leng and Zhuang Yong have a good relationship, not because Shen Leng has the favor of God, but because Shen Leng is fair enough.

Shen Leng once asked Gu Le why he wanted to follow him, and Gu Le said that it was because of hope.

In Wang Gendong's eyes, Shen Leng also saw a flickering brilliance full of hope for the future.

Don't let it down.

Shen Leng took a deep breath: "Let's go, take you to see our soldiers!" ”
