Chapter 312: Negotiations in the Army
It was already late at night, and Qin Forget hadn't slept yet, and this time he was leading the troops outside, which was completely unexpected. It is already the beginning of July, and the tea horse market is only about to open in a month and a half, and countless goods and countless people are slowly gathering in Akagi and Horin. According to preliminary statistics, three million stone of goods have arrived in Chicheng alone, and there is still a steady stream of goods being transported.
There are a lot of things in this, and Qin Forget has to deal with them personally, so every day there will be more than a dozen fast horses to send the file to Qin Wang's desk, even if the march is outside, Qin Forget is busy in the dark.
"Hehe, Mr. Gu, I would have left you in Chicheng if I knew it, so I could have made it easier. It's more appropriate for you to deal with these things. Qin Forget looked at the file in his hand seriously, and smiled at Gu Feng who was struggling to write next to him.
"The owner laughed, if you want to talk about it on paper, I don't lose to anyone, but I really control the overall situation, not modest, and my subordinates are a little bit worse. Besides, it is not appropriate for Gu Feng to be in a high position when he first arrived. Gu Feng didn't raise his head, and said with a smile.
Qin Forget was silent, Gu Feng was telling the truth, although he was talented, he was also 10,000 loyal to Qin Wang, but he was too young, and he was still short of the necessary exercise and accumulation. What's more, it's still new, and its prestige is really insufficient. As for Yin Xian, Wang Wen, Wang Ming and others, they were born as small officials, and this ability is even more lacking. Talents, talents, Qin Forget felt depressedly that he was short of talents at any time.
"Alas, you and Jin Yan are both good seedlings, only high and capable of doing practical things, but unfortunately they are too young and have to be trained." Qin Forget said with a sigh.
"Lord Yin and the others have been doing a good job recently, and the general doesn't want to carry them?" Gu Feng raised his head and asked tentatively, something inexplicable flashing in his eyes.
Qin Forget saw the appearance of Gu Feng, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, this Gu Feng was testing himself. Since ancient times, there is no first, no second martial arts, no one is a saint, and everyone wants to climb to a higher place. Gu Feng's words were a test of the status of the old civil official group in Chicheng's heart in Qin Wang's heart. However, he didn't say anything, this kind of intrigue and pulling the mountain was definitely inevitable, as long as it didn't harm everyone's interests, Qin Forget would be happy to see it.
"They? Yin Xian, I still have the ability, but the bureaucratic atmosphere on my body is too heavy, I don't like it. It is not suitable for our current group, and we can't wash the bureaucratic smell of him well, and I don't dare to use him with confidence. Wang Ming, maybe because of what happened to him since he was a child, he was ruthless and resolute, and he was cautious, he was a person who achieved great things, but the matter of Ye County became a stain on his life, if you don't say it, I still feel your rejection of him, in this case, I can only refrigerate him for a while. Wang Wenma, a traditional scholar, although he has a flexible brain, he can't get rid of the fantasy in his mind that he learns literature and martial arts and sells them to the emperor's family. He is poor now and can do his best for me, later
His position has improved and he faces greater temptations, and who knows what will happen to him. To be honest, the one I worry about the most is him. Deng Wen, who is a bookish and angry, is also a thoughtful person, but he doesn't know how to be flexible, and it is difficult to take on big responsibilities. Qin Forget did not shy away from Gu Feng and said his opinion of Yin Xian and the others.
Hearing Qin Wang's analysis, Gu Feng was overjoyed and surprised in his heart, happy that the old civil officials in Chicheng were not valued much by Qin Wang, and he was surprised that Qin Forget saw them so thoroughly, as if he had seen through their hearts.
Wouldn't he have been seen clearly by Qin Wang?
Thinking of this, and looking at Qin Wang's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Gu Feng only felt like he was undressed, **naked in front of Qin Wang, and for a while, he was embarrassed because of his careful thinking just now and didn't know what to say.
"General, Xue Zangfeng, the master of the Iron Sword Gate, is asking to see you outside the tent." At this moment, Yang Xuan opened the curtain and walked in to report loudly, alleviating the embarrassment of the two.
Seeing Xue Zangfeng and the two walking in high-spirited, Qin Forget secretly praised in his heart, the two of them were iron-clad men at a glance, especially the strong smell of iron and blood on their bodies, Qin Forget had only seen it in veterans like Liu Jian.
"Two, this is my general, General Qin. General, this is the Iron Sword Gate Master and his personal guard, Cheng Wu. Yang Xuan introduced the three of them.
Seeing that Qin Forget was so young, a few years younger than Xue Feiyun, Xue Zangfeng and Cheng Wu both showed surprised looks on their faces. Especially Xue Zangfeng, he has always been proud of his son, but after seeing Qin Wang's bearing, he was depressed in his heart, he really had to die more than others, and he had to throw away goods compared to others.
"Ahem!" Seeing that the two of them were stunned, Yang Xuan coughed twice kindly and reminded the two.
"Caomin Xue Zangfeng and Cheng Wu have seen General Qin." The two came back to their senses, gave Yang Xuan a grateful look, and hurriedly bowed.
"The two of you are not polite, and you have heard that the Iron Sword Gate is famous, and now it seems that it is better to meet than to be famous." Qin Forget smiled slightly and said politely.
Everyone was seated.
"Master Xuemen, you must already know the matter, the two of you are here, but can you give me an explanation?" Qin Forget didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.
The two didn't expect Qin Forget to be so straightforward, although they were in a high position, they were not as domineering as they imagined, and they had a good impression of Qin Forget in their hearts, and they both felt that they had a very good appetite.
"General Qin is saying that Fang Jian and others assassinated the general? With the status of a general, he naturally won't lie, I think there must be a misunderstanding in this, and I ask the general to give Tiejianmen a chance to explain. Xue Zangfeng took over the conversation and spoke.
"Fang Jian?" When Qin Forget heard this name for the first time, he looked at Xue Zangfeng with some confusion.
"It's the first of the thirteen corpses." Xue Zangfeng reminded Qin Wangdao.
"Oh? In that case, does the Lord of the Xue Sect admit that those people are the people of your Iron Sword Sect? Qin Forget leaned back in his chair and looked at Xue Zangfeng with a meaningful look on his face.
Xue Zangfeng gritted his teeth, "Yes, those people are indeed from our Iron Sword Sect, and I don't bother to do this kind of thing." They are Cheng Wu's cronies, but I can assure you that Cheng Wu was definitely not sent out to assassinate the general. ”
At that moment, Xue Zangfeng told the results of his investigation and the relationship between him and Cheng Wu as they were.
Qin Forget listened quietly, in fact, apart from not knowing who the traitor was, he knew the whole thing clearly, but he also showed great patience.
While listening to him, he carefully looked at Cheng Wu, a typical soldier, this was his first impression. Cheng Wu has been out of the army for a long time, but the kind of temperament that only a soldier has in him has not been erased at all. The scar on his face looked a little ugly and terrifying, but his eyes were bright and clear, and he didn't look like a treacherous person.
Qin Forget immediately judged that the traitor was definitely not a martial artist, not because of his appearance, but because he really couldn't commit it. According to Xue Zangfeng's description, Cheng Wu followed him for twenty years and was loyal. What's more important is that Cheng Wu's status in the Iron Sword Gate is high enough, no less than Xue Zangfeng's younger brother Xue Wumang, and even a little higher than Xue Wumang's identity, and he has no reason to do so. What's more, he openly orders his cronies to make a move, without any concealment, only a fool would do that. Obviously, Cheng Wu is definitely not a fool to survive such a tragic battle.
"I believe that General Cheng is not the inner ghost." Hearing what Xue Zangfeng said, Qin Forget spoke for the first time.
Hearing Qin Forget say this, Xue Zangfeng was very surprised, he didn't expect Qin Forget to believe Cheng Wu as much as he did, he patted Cheng Wu on the shoulder heavily, "Old Cheng, I just said that General Qin will not wronged you." "The joy is beyond words.
"Hehe, thank you General Qin for your trust." Cheng Wu is also very happy, a soldier like him is not afraid of death, not afraid of bloodshed, and afraid of being notorious.
"However, the matter of the Iron Sword Gate can't be counted like this, I Qin Forget can't let you Iron Sword Gate." Before Xue Zangfeng and the others were happy, Qin Forget said coldly.
"......" The smiles of Xue Zangfeng and the others froze on their faces, and they stared at Qin Forget in dismay, really not understanding what Qin Forget meant.
Yang Xuan next to him was also anxious, if he had only admired the style of the Iron Sword Gate before, now after seeing Xue Zangfeng and the others, he simply had a feeling of sympathy with the two of them, and he was unwilling to embarrass the Iron Sword Gate.
"General, after all, this matter has nothing to do with the Iron Sword Gate, so it's better to ......" He leaned into Qin Wang's ear and whispered to try to intercede for the Iron Sword Gate.
"Lao Yang, just rest assured, I won't mess around." Qin Forget also said softly.
