Chapter 145: Shadow

Young Master Fang was scolded by the emperor in the imperial study, which seemed to be a common thing. However, this time, Fang Zheng admitted that he was at a loss, so he lowered his head and said nothing, letting the emperor scold him.

In fact, he himself is quite strange, looking at the folds well, how could he think of replying to the post? And all the replies are nonsense like gold balm, and there is no technical content at all. If he had something to say, presumably the emperor would not have lost such a temper?

This proves that there is still a difference between reading the folds and reading the posts, at least you have to have a good attitude and can't be blind. The emperor has been watching the fold for decades, and I haven't seen him reply on the fold: "Good post, everyone!" Nonsense like that.

The emperor was a little surprised when he saw Fang Zheng's rare lack of oily tone and no gags, he was going to scold him for only a pillar of incense, but later the more he scolded, the more enjoyable he became, and he scolded him for half an hour. From Fang Zheng's character criticism, to his personality, his taste in dress, and even his walking posture, etc., everything he could think of was scolded all over again.

The more Fang Zheng listened, the more depressed he became, it seemed that this old man of the emperor was full of complaints about Young Master Ben.

A cup of tea was served on the side of the case, Fang Zheng handed it to the emperor, and put on a sneer: "Your Majesty, you sit down and continue to scold, don't get tired of the dragon body, come, drink tea to moisten your throat first, Wei Chen continued to listen to the holy teachings with a heavy face......

The emperor took the tea and drank it in a big gulp, glared at him fiercely with a calm face, snorted angrily, and sat down.

"I don't bother to scold you, today I called you over, in addition to the Jiangnan tax and silver matter, I also want to introduce a few generals to know you, you can choose people from the army they command, and develop the ...... of the organization"

Fang Zheng interrupted the emperor's words and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, let's give this institution a resounding name, otherwise it will always be called by the institution, and others will think that we will open a chicken farm." ”

The emperor nodded approvingly and said: "Yes, you should choose a name, in your opinion, what is the best name?" ”

"Hoe Traitor Alliance!" Fang Zheng said without thinking. The secret service agency that is destined to be infamous for 10,000 years, let's give it the name of special justice, and disgust those historians.

The emperor frowned when he heard this, obviously he was very disapproving of this loud and righteous name, shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate, change it." ”

Fang Zheng spread his hands helplessly, "Then we have to call it al-Qaeda...... "Good and bad must be enough, since we can't be too righteous, let's move closer to evil."

The emperor was obviously even more dissatisfied with the name, "It's inappropriate, it's inexplicable." ”

"Heaven and Earth Society?"

"The Intelligence Bureau?"

"Jin Yiwei?"

“…… Deep love and rain? ”

"Reminiscing about the old days?"

"Look at the face of the moon?"

“…………”

Seeing that the emperor's head was shaking like a rattle, Fang Zheng sighed and looked at the emperor helplessly, as if he was looking at a child who was rolling on the ground without sugar: "Then what do you call it?" ”

The iron-blooded faction is not good, and neither is the literary and artistic tone, so don't you just take a broken name? Why are you making such a fuss?

The emperor stroked his long beard and said: "This institution can't see the light, and it has to perform tasks in the dark for a long time, why don't you call it 'shadow'?" ”

"Plop!"

"What's wrong with you?" The emperor said unhappily.

"Ah...... Nothing, nothing. Hehe......" Fang Zheng stood up and said with a dry smile.

Shadow, this old man's style and creativity are more than a grade worse than that of Young Master Ben......

So, under the strong oppression of the emperor, the first spy agency of the Chinese Dynasty had its name - Shadow, a local and vulgar name, just like the names of people such as "Dog Leftover", "Dazhu" and "Erwa", which are suitable for all ages,...... Catchy?

Fang Zheng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, forcibly endured the cold in his heart, he was thinking, should he resign from the emperor as the "shadow leader", how majestic is the name of other spy leaders, what kind of factory governor, governor, as soon as he heard it, he exuded a domineering, bloody and eerie terrifying atmosphere. When it's your turn, what do others call it? Shadow Head, Shadow Boss, or Shadow Head for Short? No matter how you call it, you feel like a subordinate, leading a group of rabble to do all kinds of evil, and it is the kind that only dares to collect business protection fees and rob children's lollipops......

The emperor was quite satisfied with the name he had chosen, half-closed his eyes and was intoxicated for a long time, and then opened his eyes and clapped: "Well, yes, that's it, shadow!" ”

Fang Zheng wiped his sweat again, thinking to himself, forget it, don't worry about the old man, the shadow is the shadow, it's better than the bun, the duck, the kiln and the like...... Fang Zheng accepted this fact with a sad face, he will be the shadow head in the future, alas!

When Fang Zheng sighed, the emperor announced three generals in the army, one of them was an old acquaintance, Feng Qiudao, he was the leading general of the Longwu Army, and two, one was named Liu Changsheng and the other was Zhao Hu, and the two were the leading generals of the Shence Army and the Shenwu Army respectively.

Fang Zheng greeted the two generals, and smiled at Feng Qiudao, the corners of Feng Qiudao's cold and resolute mouth were gently pulled, which was regarded as a greeting.

General Liu of the Shence Army is a man who seems to be more elegant, in his forties, judging from his appearance alone, absolutely no one believes that this person is actually a general who leads tens of thousands of troops, and the General Zhao Hu of the Shenwu Army is the same as his name, tiger and tiger, domineering, and is also in his forties, a tall and burly northern man.

With a faint smile in his eyes, the emperor said, "Three generals, Fang Aiqing has followed my will to form a new organization, called 'Shadow'. ”

The faces of the three generals were shocked at the same time, just by hearing the name, they probably knew what kind of organization the so-called "shadow" was. Why did the emperor set up such an institution? Although the three generals are the leaders of the troops, they still have a certain sensitivity to politics, and they can even predict what kind of turbulent waves will occur in the court with the establishment of this institution, and what kind of rearrangement and reshuffle will be experienced between the various factions and friends in the court.

The emperor took in everyone's expressions, smiled slightly, and said, "The shadow is a secret organization, and you are the commander of the army that I trust, so I can tell you at ease." I have summoned you here today, mainly to let you get to know Fang Aiqing, I want to select loyal and skilled people in each army to join the shadow, Fang Aiqing will preside over this matter, and I hope that the three generals will help. ”

Only then did Fang Zheng understand that the emperor summoned them to tell them that Young Master Ben was going to dig a corner of your territory, and no matter who I chosen, you all had to release them.

But isn't it a bit too much for the emperor to do this? Just give them the holy decree directly, why do you call them in person?

Feng Qiudao stood up first, and saluted without hesitation: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

The two generals also quickly stood up and expressed their full assistance.

Fang Zheng glanced at them with a smile, and found that Zhao Hu was expressionless, his eyes were looking straight ahead, and the other party Zheng didn't even look at him. And Liu Changsheng nodded and smiled at Fang Zheng, but a bit of complexity flashed in his eyes.

Judging from the performance of these two generals, they don't look like simple characters. Of course, being able to become a general in command of tens of thousands of troops in his forties is certainly not easy in itself.

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Thank you to the two generals for their help, everyone is on an errand for the emperor, and they are loyal. ”

Liu Changsheng arched his hand and smiled: "It's easy to say, if Lord Fang comes to our army to choose someone, he will definitely do his best to help." ”

Zhao Hu hurriedly arched his hand, and let out a faint "um", never looked at Fang Zheng from beginning to end, as if he had some kind of prejudice against him.

Fang Zheng was unhappy in his heart, Young Master Ben didn't offend you, who would show this stinky face?

Feng Qiudao didn't wait for Fang Zheng to be polite, and said directly: "Lord Fang, there is no need to talk between you and me, if there is anything to help, just ask." ”

Fang Zheng smiled: "Of course, the little brother didn't plan to be polite to you, but don't be like a persimmon seller, put the soft one in front and let me pick ......."

Feng Qiudao made a rare joke: "Then you can't pick only persimmons left in our army......"

--------------------

Out of the palace, Fang Zheng was about to board the carriage to go home, when he suddenly felt that his sleeves were being pulled, Fang Zheng looked back and saw that it was Vinson.

Fang Zheng looked around, except for the forbidden army guarding the gate, the square in front of the palace gate was empty, there was no one, where did this guy come from?

Wen Sen arched his hand and smiled: "Lord Fang, my subordinates have been waiting for you outside the gate of this palace, ...... Uh, Master Fang, what are you looking for? Is something missing? ”

Fang Zheng ignored him, and did not give up on the green bricks on the square one by one with his feet. It's puzzling, where the hell is this guy hiding? Could it be that he used the art of earth escape, or the flying of the sword? Why do you play in an unbelievable way every time?

I really couldn't find a clue, Fang Zheng was desperate, grabbed Wen Sen's shoulder, and said with a solemn expression: "No matter, you have to tell me today, where did you come from?" Why is your position always erratic? ”

Wen Sen wiped his sweat and said: "Lord Fang, doing this kind of thing for us is nothing more than seeking a concealment, this is a skill that must be learned, but Lord Fang, you are an important minister in the court, you don't need to know it so clearly......"

Fang Zheng said with a serious face: "No, I have to learn!" You have to learn if you don't eat or sleep! I've never been so serious about learning in my life. ”

"Yes...... Why did you learn this? ”

"Very important! If I learned, the boudoir of those young girls and young wives from good families would not be as easy for me as it was to visit my own backyard, wahahahaha...... Hurry up and teach me! ”

“…………”

After Vincent repeatedly and sincerely told Fang Zheng that it was just a trick to appear out of thin air, Fang Zheng had to give up his fragrant plan to sneak into the boudoir of his fellow women in the middle of the night.

"When you appear in front of me in the future, you have to behave normally, and if you appear out of thin air, it will scare people to death?" The plan that had just been sketched was forced to be abandoned, and Lord Fang was not in a good mood.

Vinson is the only one.

"What are you looking for me?"

Wen Sen smiled flatteringly: "Lord Fang, have you forgotten, you haven't seen your dozens of subordinates since you took office, seeing that the emperor is in a hurry, you have to meet with them?" If you have time, how about the lower officer take you to meet them? ”

Fang Zheng slapped his forehead, yes! Young master, I have subordinates now, I have been in office for several days, and I haven't seen them yet, how can I do this?

Vincent hurriedly invited Fang Zheng into an inconspicuous carriage, and the coachman whipped him crisply, and the carriage slowly drove towards the west of the city.

The carriage was a little old, swaying incessantly, and the axles made a tooth-aching crunch, much worse than Fang Zheng's private luxury carriage.

Seeing Fang Zheng frowning tightly, Wen Sen hurriedly smiled: "Don't blame Lord Fang, the emperor's annual allocation of funds is limited, so he can only make do with it like this, so that Lord Fang will be wronged." ”

Fang Zheng finally couldn't help but cover his cheeks and said, "It's okay to be a little old and worn, I said that you are too lazy to put some oil on the axle?" You listen to this crunch, and your teeth fall out. ”

Vinson smiled, and said nothing.

The carriage traveled for two pillars of incense, turned into a secluded alley, and then stopped.

Vincent jumped out of the carriage first, and then respectfully helped Fang Zheng out.

Fang Zheng looked around, hey, I'm in the slums.

As far as the eye can see, a patch of mottled and dilapidated houses, moss-covered walls, narrow and muddy roads, overgrown with weeds in the middle of the road, and inaccessible everywhere. It seems to have been forgotten by the people of the capital.

Fang Zheng was standing in front of a crumbling door, and he glanced at Vincent suspiciously. Vincent smiled, "Lord Fang, the brothers are waiting for you inside." ”

"You all live here?" Fang Zheng couldn't believe it, this was the emperor's eyes and ears to spread the world, how important his role was, how could they let them live in such a place like a group of flowers?

Vinson smiled: "It's more convenient here, and it's quite cheap to buy this house, and it's not easy to get in and out......"

"Is the emperor allocating very little money?" This old man is good enough to pick the door.

Wen Sen hurriedly said: "The emperor treats his subordinates well, but there is not much left in the treasury now, and silver is needed everywhere, and his subordinates are very considerate of the emperor's difficulties." ”

It's really kind, if Fang Zheng changed himself, he might have gone to the palace gate to sit-in protest with red on his head, or he would just pick and choose. Horses have to run, and they have to eat grass.

Fang Zheng sighed, it seems that the group of brothers under his command are all contented people. I have to hurry up to raise their welfare, otherwise if I suddenly figure it out one day, feel that my salary is low, grit my teeth and stomp my feet, simply change jobs and change bosses, and play a game of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, then how much trouble will it add to the country!

Under Vinson's respectful leadership, Fang Zheng stepped into the gate where the wind force exceeded level six and would crash to the ground.

What caught my eye was more than thirty people with very ordinary figures, some of them looked forty or fifty years old, some were twelve or thirteen years old, and more were young people in their twenties and thirties.

These people are dressed in ordinary black shorts, with a refined appearance, but they show different temperaments. Some of them are like pawns in the market, their faces have become vicissitudes and aging due to the pressure of life, some are like a fallen talent, people feel that this person is very lonely at first sight, and he is the kind that has no hope for a lifetime, and some are like a sleek and sophisticated businessman, with a false but enthusiastic smile on his face when he sees people......

Fang Zheng blinked, what kind of people are this? He had no doubt that if he brought in some necessary props to put them in and put them up, and then the group of people in front of him played their respective roles, he could completely create a lively market atmosphere in this dilapidated courtyard.

This group is excellent! Fang Zheng came to this conclusion in his heart. According to the natural law of survival of the fittest, those who are not excellent are hung up, so Fang Zheng's conclusion is very correct.

Seeing that everyone was quietly looking at him in a neat queue, Fang Zheng subconsciously arched his hand, and then thought that it was wrong, he was their boss.

Then Fang Zheng learned from the great man and waved his hand at them sharply, and said affectionately: "Hello comrades! ”

“…………”

I was disappointed that no one in this era answered him, "Good chief." Fang Zheng's plan to hold an ultra-small military parade became unpopular.

Seeing that the more than thirty people in front of him were all quietly watching him, Fang Zheng scratched his head worriedly, how did the commanders in the army have a good relationship with the soldiers in his previous life? After all, these people will be the backbone members of the shadow organization in the future, and it is very important for me to win them over.

After thinking about it for a long time, Fang Zheng finally thought of it, yes, help them sort out the military appearance and discipline.

Then Fang Zheng walked in front of them and helped them sort out the "military appearance" one by one. While tidying up, he praised them.

"Well, you're a good boy."

"Come on! Step up your game! I'm optimistic about you! ”

"Uncle, how long do you live? Not retired yet? ”

"Your skin is too rough, I'll send you two boxes of Ruyuzhai's body lotion......"

“…………”

While talking, Fang Zheng walked to the end of the line and found a young man with a beautiful face and a very handsome face, but unfortunately he was a little shorter, and he was looking at Fang Zheng with a smile in his eyes.

"Wow! This brother is very handsome! It's almost time to catch up with me, hehe......"

Saying that, Fang Zheng suddenly saw that the young man's body was also exercising quite well, and two strong pectoral muscles were faintly protruding from his chest, Fang Zheng estimated that if he wanted to fight alone, he might not be able to beat him.

Unexpectedly, Fang Zheng's hand quickly fell on the young man's chest muscles, and he pinched it gently.

"I'm so envious...... When will I be able to train such ** pectoral muscles......" Fang Zheng sighed regretfully, lowered his head and looked at himself, his disappointment was beyond words.

The young man's cheeks flushed for a moment, his lips pursed for a long time, and at last he mustered up the courage to speak.

The voice was delicate, "If you go back to the adult, your subordinate is a woman!" ”

-------- the following does not count as money---------

Thank you for your concern, I am getting better and recuperating at home.

At this time, if I come to cry naked in the snow and beg for a monthly pass recommendation, I wonder if there is any compassionate boss who is willing to give generously?
