After Hu Niu'er went out happily, he not only immediately went to Jiao Touch's Daoqian, but also said sorry to the other six military marquis one by one, the soldiers have always admired the strong, Hu Niu'er's martial arts are indeed much stronger than them, and it seems understandable to say those words, and as Yuan Xi's close minister, he was not only punished, but also came to apologize in person, they naturally did not dare to hold it, after a few conversations, they immediately became like brothers, and the so-called no fight did not know each other.

I heard that Hu Niu'er was going to choose a few people to form a personal guard battalion to defend Yuan Xi, and even patted his chest one by one and promised that he would let him pick whatever he wanted, and if there was any trouble, he would come to them.

The mighty selection ceremony soon began, and when I heard that I could become Yuan Xi's personal guard, all the soldiers rushed towards the school field in a hurry, and everyone had a trace of excitement and excitement on their faces.

However, when it was in full swing, someone's face was indeed not too good-looking, only to see that in an obviously not small tent, the military Sima Zhang Nan sat on the desk, his eyes flashed with desire, ambition, and unwillingness, although he was received by Yuan Xi yesterday, but he simply said a few words, and did not reuse his ideas at all, the status is too far and too far worse than Jiao Touch, he has long known from Jiao Touch that Yuan Xi is going to be exiled as a state assassin, and with the identity of the Yuan family's son-in-law, how huge the power will be in the future, He really didn't want to be forgotten by Yuan Xi like this, and his goal was to enter Yuan Xi's core and become one of the important ministers.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Meng suddenly stood up, quietly took out a small bamboo slip from a short shelf next to him, hesitated for a while, and finally flashed cold.

"I finally had such an opportunity, and I must not give it up!"

After whispering resolutely and desperately, Zhang Nan directly put the bamboo slip into his pocket, walked out of the tent, and went directly to the tent where Yuan Xi was.

At this time, in Yuan Xi's tent, bursts of happy laughter did suddenly sound.

"Niu'er, that's how the soldiers are chosen"

"Yes! However, although Captain Hu's method is simple, it is very practical, he can take his ordinary hammer and not kneel, or he has a little martial arts foundation, or he has good strength, all of them are elite soldiers, and when I came, I found that he had already selected six, and the speed was quite fast" Yuan Ping appreciated.

"Haha, Niu'er also has a careful time" Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction.

After Yuan Ping smiled, he said in a low voice: "Second brother, my brother has also decided to officially start the formation of the military department in a few days."

Yuan Xi nodded, "Okay, you can pick any person, and you can even solicit them from outside, but you must be cautious, and report anything to me at any time."

"No" Yuan Ping responded,

After the two exchanged views on the establishment of the military department for a while, Zhang Nan's voice came from outside the tent.

"Military Sima Zhang Nan, begging to see the son"

Yuan Ping was a little surprised and said, "Why did he come?"

Yuan Xi was also a little curious, and whispered outside: "Come in"

"No!" After Zhang Nan walked into the tent, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Meet the son, the fifth son"

"Sima Zhang doesn't have to be polite, please get up," Yuan Xi said softly.

"Gongzi Xie" After Zhang Nan stood up, he hurriedly took out the small bamboo slip from his pocket and said in a low voice: "Childe, there are some important things to tell you at the end."

After Yuan Ping stepped forward to take it, he personally handed it to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi opened the bamboo slip with a little confusion, and suddenly stared at it, only to see that it was Jiao Touch and the six military marquis who had embezzled military salaries, and it was very detailed and careful, even specific to which day, which thing, and what kind of name had been corrupted.

Zhang Nan looked at Yuan Xi, who was expressionless, he was very nervous, and beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead, he knew that his move was very risky, but he wanted to gamble once, and winning the bet might change his Yisheng.

After Yuan Xi read it slowly, he smiled slightly: "It's meticulous!" ”

Zhang Nan was stunned for a moment, shouldn't Yuan Xi be very angry when he saw this bamboo slip? How could it be so calm.

"Childe, the last general shouldn't have recorded these things behind his back, but the last general is loyal to only Childe, not anyone else," Zhang Nan hurriedly explained loudly and uneasily.

"Haha, don't be nervous, you have done a good job in this matter, this son has a clear reward and punishment, and it will not damage the heroes, you go down first, this matter makes me think about it" Yuan Xi laughed loudly

"Yes!" Zhang Nan slowly retreated with some confusion and puzzlement.

"Second brother, what is this?" After seeing Zhang Nan leave, Yuan Ping asked with some curiosity.

Yuan Xi directly handed over the bamboo slip and said with a smile: "Look at it"

After Yuan Ping took a look, his pupils shrank suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, looking at the corrupt military salary above, he felt a chill in his heart, this Zhang Nan was too ruthless, for the sake of his own power, he actually regarded him as a brother as a bargaining chip for promotion.

"Have you finished reading?" Yuan Xi asked softly.

Yuan Ping nodded, and said with some concern: "Big brother, what are you going to do?" ”

"It's just a few thousand dollars, it's nothing at all, Jiao Touch is loyal to me, this military salary is not worth mentioning" Yuan Xi smiled indifferently, Jiao Touch's loyalty to him now has reached more than ninety, not to mention that he embezzled a little money before, even if he killed someone, he wouldn't take it to heart.

"Second brother, wise" Hearing this, Yuan Ping immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Although Captain Jiao had the idea of corruption before, it can be clearly seen from this that he has not had this kind of behavior recently, and it is obvious that Captain Jiao has completely surrendered to his eldest brother."

"Yes, so this incident should have never happened, and I am very interested in this Zhang Nan now," Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"What!" Yuan Ping suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Second brother, this person is speculative, two-faced, and can't be reused!" ”

"That's bad!" Yuan Xi smiled and said softly: "Fifth brother, everyone has their own ability, it depends on how you use it, this Zhang Nan can make Zhongsheng trust so much, naturally there are advantages, and you carefully read the content above, how detailed, and even the day of corruption is written on it, which shows that this person has a heart that a military general does not have, and he dares to personally hand over this thing to me for the sake of rights and ambitions, which shows that he has a decisive and ruthless ability to do great things, and in troubled times, although he is not suitable for being a soldier, But there are a lot of jobs for him."

"What position?" Yuan Ping was puzzled.

"I still need to think about this, you will go to him in person, comfort him on my behalf, and tell him that this matter is very much in line with my wishes, let him wait, don't worry, I will give him a chance" Yuan Xi smiled slightly, with the key of the hidden dragon, even Yuan Ping, the future killing god, can be firmly controlled, not to mention a mere Zhang Nan.

"Yes, big brother," Yuan Ping replied helplessly.

"Report!!" At this moment, one of the guards suddenly rushed in.

"What's the matter?" asked Yuan Xi.

"Childe, there is news from the mansion that the lord will rush back to Yecheng in two days, so you can go back immediately and prepare to take over"

"So fast!" Yuan Xi's face froze, and he stood up violently, is he finally coming back? He had long wanted to meet his current father, Yuan Shao, the overlord of the north.
