Text Section 315 Penetrating into dangerous places
Looking at the surprised expressions of the three of Fei De, Ying Shoushan smiled faintly. This kind of thinking is indeed too terrifying, and Ying Shoushan also felt a little incredible when he first received this task. However, Ying Shoushan quickly accepted this idea, and at this time, the monarch of Great Xia was no longer what it used to be, as Mo Kun said, Deguang hated Duan Lang more than them. If Duan Lang does not die, Deguang's Jiangshan Sheji will definitely not be guaranteed. Under this kind of opportunity, Ying Shoushan felt that Deguang should choose to cooperate with them.
"Why, didn't you understand what I meant? Or is it not clearly expressed below? Ying Shoushan asked.
Fei De was taken aback, and then he came to his senses, "Lord Commander, I think this kind of idea is difficult to realize. Moreover, if he ventures into contact with Deguang, I am afraid that it will put the commander in danger. In this matter, do you want the official to think twice? ”
Ying Shoushan looked at Fei De and said softly, "This place is not as good as the country and the army, just ask me to guard the mountain, Fei shopkeeper, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”
Fei De also smiled and turned around to gesture, "Yes, yes, Lord Lingguan has just arrived, Min Cheng, go prepare a meal." ”
A man behind Feder said yes, but the two of them walked out at the same time. Ying Shoushan asked, "Shopkeeper Fei, who are these two people?" ”
Fei De looked back, "Lord Commander, I would like to call you Mr. Ying here." Our Supervision Department is under the control of the military division, and it is said that the commander is also the subordinate boss. The two were originally two habitual offenders in China, named Min Cheng and Jiao He, but have now joined the Supervision Department. These two have good kung fu and are very suitable for spy missions. ”
Ying Shoushan nodded, "Kung Fu is second, how about loyalty?" ”
"Absolutely reliable, their families are secretly under the control of the department." Feder said softly.
Ying Shoushan gestured and asked Feder to sit down and speak. Don't look at Ying Shoushan's current level is also a fourth grade, but Fei De is well-informed and knows that Ying Shoushan is appreciated by Mo Kun. Moreover, the lord of the country personally sealed the order, maybe in the near future, Ying Shoushan will be able to succeed Mo Kun. For such a future choice, Feder does not dare to rely on the old and sell the old.
Fei De personally poured tea for Ying Shoushan and asked casually, "Mr. Ying, how is the battle ahead?" ”
Ying Shoushan thought about it, and didn't hide anything, after all, the Supervision Department is Mo Kun's descendant, maybe he will join this sect after returning to China in the future.
"The battle situation is somewhat unfavorable to the coalition army, but fortunately, our Nanping army still retains its strength, and only the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses are damaged. The military advisor and the governor of Lu Du ordered me to come here in order to reverse the whole situation. This is a matter of course for the whole war, and you and I must work together to forge an alliance. ”
Fei De sighed slightly, "Mr. Ying, do you know that if you want to promote this matter, it is comparable to defeating Duan Lang's army. Even if the Great Xia royal family is in decline, he Deguang is the orthodox Great Xia emperor after all. Unless Duan Lang comes to attack Yixiang City, I don't think it is possible for Deguang to take the initiative. The last time Shangguan Xuanwu came, it was a chance, but it just allowed him to escape. Once you let the people of the world know that Deguang has joined forces with us, do you think the subjects of Great Xia will still recognize him as a king? ”
"Of course it's difficult, if you make an alliance so easily, how can that Duan Lang tolerate the Elephant City behind him. It was precisely because of what the entire Great Xia felt was impossible that after forming an alliance, it was possible to take it by surprise and let Duan Lang's army fall into a place of no return. Of course, the operation of this must also be clever and cautious in order for Deguang to accept the alliance. Shopkeeper Fei, what is the current situation in Yixiang City? Ying Shoushan asked.
"Since that Shangguan Xuanwu carried out the first decree of the gods, the already declining Great Xia royal family has been even more depressed. As far as I know, most of the teams sent out by Elephant City to recruit troops and food returned empty-handed. What's more, Zhang Guangzhi of Xiadu Mansion even detained everyone. I'm afraid that now Deguang is in anger. ”
"Good!" Ying Shoushan stroked his palms and praised, "The more this is the case, the greater our hope of success." Originally, Master En Shi was worried about Ying's safety and wanted you to come forward to contact him first. Now it seems that time is running out, and I have to come forward in person. ”
Fei De's heart moved, he didn't expect Ying Shoushan to be commensurate with his mentor. It seems that as rumored, Mo Kun attaches great importance to this Ying Shoushan.
"Mr. Ying, we have to think about this matter in the long run. In case Deguang knows your identity and detains you, Fei can't afford it. Otherwise, I'll first think of a way to get in touch with the important ministers of the court in Yixiang City, and then explore the direction of the wind first. Feder said.
Ying Shoushan looked at Fei De and smiled lightly, "Shopkeeper Fei has been invisible in Yixiang City for so many years, and he should have one or two courtiers who are good friends. This matter is related to the overall situation, and it is time for the shopkeeper Fei to show his family background. ”
Fei De clenched his fists and said, "Mr. Ying, don't worry, the stakes are very high, and Fei De will never dare to hide his secrets." According to our investigation, Deguang's current team in Yixiang City is only Fan Jiachang who really trusts him. As for that Sun Gang, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one in the army who could take on the big responsibility, he would have been kicked out a long time ago. However, Yin Ji Wenhai, the city government, has a good relationship with Zaixia, and he can get in touch with Fan Jiachang. ”
"Fan Jiachang?" Ying Shoushan was slightly stunned, his main target in the army was Duan Lang, and he didn't know much about the courtiers on the side of Yixiang City.
Fei De quickly explained, "This person was originally a close confidant of Prince Hong, and Tokumitsu was originally an ostracized prince when he was in Kyoto, and he was followed by courtiers. After the death of Prince Hong, Fan Jiachang followed Deguang and is currently in charge of the affairs of the Elephant City. ”
Ying Shoushan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Deguang was originally implicated by the in-law relationship of Xining Marquis Zhao Li, and was excluded from the succession by Emperor Yuning. Now that he has become the emperor by mistake, there are really no capable people around him. Shopkeeper Fei, what is the status of Wenhai in Yixiang City this season? ”
Feder said with a smile, "The temporary position of the servant in charge of the Ministry of Officials is just a man who is greedy for money and lustful, and he has taken a lot of my silver." However, this person is good at drilling camps and is deeply appreciated by Fan Jiachang. ”
When Ying Shoushan heard this, he snorted disdainfully, "Being able to appreciate this kind of person shows that Fan Jiachang is not enough." You immediately contact that Ji Wenhai, the sooner the better. Corrupt people are generally greedy for life and afraid of death, and when necessary, they can use both grace and power. Let him pull the strings, I want to meet that Fan Jiachang. ”
Fei De was stunned for a moment, "What does Mr. Ying mean, can he tell Ji Wenhai's identity?" ”
"Yes, when necessary, the shopkeeper Fei can depend on the situation."
Fei De nodded, and said solemnly, "Since this is the case, then after waiting for Mr. Ying to have lunch, he will go to Jifu." But just in case, Mr. Ying will look for another place to live after I leave. If this place is sealed, it means that there is an accident, and Mr. Ying must leave this city as soon as possible. Fei was also afraid that he would not be able to withstand the punishment and would recruit him. ”
"Shopkeeper Fei is so frank, which is enough to show his loyalty to Nanping. Shopkeeper Fei rest assured, even if Ji Wenhai turns his face and arrests you, I will let Deguang release you. He Ji Wenhai is just a bridge and doesn't play a role. You just say that I have a batch of grain and grass in my hands, presumably Fan Jiachang will meet me. ”
"Xia Guan understands that after eating the wine banquet, Fei will go immediately."
Fei De stood up as he spoke, leading Ying Shoushan and his party to the dining room. Because there were still important things to do, Fei De and Ying Shoushan did not dare to drink, for fear of delaying the big event.
In the palace of Yixiang City, Deguang Tea has not thought about food for the past few days, and is wondering whether to send troops to suppress the hateful Zhang Guangzhi. However, Deguang knew very well in his heart that Zhang Guangzhi was Duan Lang's person, and if he really sent troops to take Xiadu Mansion, it would be tantamount to touching Duan Lang's scales. But just don't ask, the resentment in Deguang's heart is really uncomfortable.
"Jiachang, how is the battle ahead?" Deguang asked depressedly.
"Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, that Duan Lang~ seems to have won the battle again." Fan Jiachang bowed and said.
When Deguang heard this, he angrily smashed the jade cup under the steps. He wished that Duan Lang would be defeated quickly, and the worse the defeat, the better. If the army that Duan Lang was killed was scattered, Deguang would not hesitate to send troops to the Mansion. As for whether the West Vietnamese Coalition Army will come to attack Yixiang City, De Quang didn't think about it so much at all. As long as he can get out of the evil spirit in his heart, he would rather the enemy win.
"Jiachang, what do you think will happen after this battle?" Tokumitsu asked with anger.
Fan Jiachang understood Deguang's mood at this moment, the dignified Emperor of Great Xia, not only let a god stick play it, but even the capital below dared to bully, which was indeed a little aggrieved.
"Your Majesty, Duan Lang and the enemy are facing each other, although there is a small victory, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation. Judging from the current strength of soldiers and horses, the minister feels that the West Vietnam Peaceful Coalition Army still occupies the initiative. ”
"Since you have the initiative, why don't you completely wipe out Duan Lang's army overnight?"
"Your Majesty, although Mokun and Lu Mu have many soldiers, after all, they are the armies of the two countries, and everyone wants to preserve their strength. It was precisely because of this that Duan Lang that he was able to survive to this day. But it's okay like this, the two sides are slowly depleting, injuring the enemy by 1,000 and losing 800, which is very beneficial to us. Your Majesty only needs to calm down, and sooner or later this great summer will regain its glory. ”
Tokumitsu gasped, he had also been in charge of the army, and of course he understood that war was not something that anyone with more soldiers could be unscrupulous. Deguang also knew that it would be beneficial for him to wait calmly, but he was a little impatient and wanted to see the dawn and dawn earlier.
Fan Jiachang persuaded Deguang to quit and walked out of the palace with a tired body. Fan Jiachang is now in charge of the affairs of the Elephant City, which is equivalent to the position of Xiangguo. If it's a peaceful and prosperous world, maybe it can be easier. But now, Fan Jiachang is physically and mentally exhausted. At this time, Fan Jiachang realized how difficult it was to be able to balance the ministers and the king.
As soon as Fan Jiachang returned to the mansion, a subordinate came to report, "Master, Master Ji is visiting." ”
Fan Jiachang frowned, "It must be that the government below is short of silver again, let him in." ”
After a while, Ji Wenhai walked in. Seeing Fan Jiachang's unhappy face, Ji Wenhai said with a smile, "Master Fan, you just came back from Your Majesty?" ”
Fan Jiachang glanced at Ji Wenhai and said deliberately, "Old Ji, I'm not tired, if you have any official business, let's wait until tomorrow morning to discuss it." ”
"That's that, Lord Fan has every opportunity, how dare the lower officials disturb the peace of the adults." Ji Wenhai bowed and said.
Fan Jiachang asked impatiently, "What's the matter, just say it." Your old season has nothing to do and goes to the Three Treasures Palace, won't you come to ask for silver again. ”
"Hehe, Master Fan guessed wrong this time. The lower officials not only did not come to ask for silver, but came to give it. Oh no, it should be said that it was ~ to send grain and grass. ”
Fan Jiachang was stunned, and immediately widened his eyes, "What did you say?" ”
Ji Wenhai smiled proudly, "Master Fan, there is an old friend below, who is the chief shopkeeper of a carriage and horse shop in the city. Today he came to our house to inform the news that their owner had come to Yixiang City. My old friend said that their owner had a batch of grain in his hands, and there were more than 30 carts of grain, and he wanted to sell it to us. ”
Fan Jiachang's eyes lit up, "Okay, yes, I want them all, how many you want." ”
Fan Jiachang said in his heart that now he can't buy grain and grass even if he has money, and there are still those that are delivered to his door. Even if it is at a high price, you have to get this batch of grain.
"My lord, but~ he still has a request."
"Isn't it just a matter of silver, you can talk to him. Since it's an old friend, you can't ask for a lot of money in terms of price. ”
"That's not it, but their owner said they wanted to see you. It is said that as long as you are willing to come forward to meet, the price is negotiable. ”
"Oh?" Fan Jiachang was stunned, "Want to see me?" ”
Ji Wenhai smiled, "Xia Guan thinks that he, the owner, just wants to ask for an errand in the court." ”
Fan Jiachang frowned, "Old Ji, no matter how you say that you are also a servant of the Ministry now, give him an errand and it will be over." ”
Ji Wenhai shook his head, "I said the same thing, but people don't agree, so I have to see you." Otherwise, they will change hands and go to Kyoto. ”
"Kyoto? Hmph, it's hard to promise him anything. In this case, let him come to our mansion and see this so-called proprietor. ”
Ji Wenhai smiled slightly, "Master Fan, you work hard every day, and you always eat what your own chef makes, and it's too simple. Xiaguan had already arranged a table in the largest Fuxing restaurant in the city, and adults could also take this opportunity to relax. What do you think~ what do you think? ”
Fan Jiachang was stunned, thought for a while and said, "It's better ~ forget it, in today's troubled times, it is not safe for you and me to travel as private." ”
"Rest assured, all the inside and outside of the restaurant are on alert, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of safety." Ji Wenhai hurriedly reassured.
Fan Jiachang looked at Ji Wenhai and said in his heart that since this guy has arranged it, then give him a face.
"Okay, then we'll meet at the restaurant tonight. After coming to Yixiang City for so long, it was the first time for the official to eat and drink outside. I just take this opportunity to take a look at the lives of the people of the Elephant City. ”
"Thank you Lord Fan for appreciating your face, the lower official will go and tell me, and inform the restaurant to prepare a few good dishes, so that the adults can taste the authentic local taste of Yixiang City."
After Ji Wenhai finished speaking, he took his leave. Fan Jiachang was very interested in that batch of food, and as for wine and food, he didn't have this hobby. When he followed Prince Hong, Fan Jiachang even ate the royal banquet in the palace in his heyday, not to mention this small Yixiang City.
Ji Wenhai walked out of Fan Jiachang's mansion, and Fei De had been waiting beside the sedan chair for a long time. Seeing Ji Wenhai come out, Fei De greeted him.
"Master Ji, how is it?"
Ji Wenhai drooped his face, "Shopkeeper Fei, I gave up my face to invite." If you mess up this tonight, don't blame Lord Ben for being unkind. ”
"Thank you, Lord Ji, don't worry, the small one will definitely not embarrass Lord Ji." Feder said, pulling out a small box and handing it over.
Ji Wenhai opened a crack and saw the jewels inside, and then a smile appeared on his face. Ji Wenhai returned home, and Fei De also returned to the carriage and horse shop. Ying Shoushan did not leave, since he came to Yixiang City, he would meet with the government sooner or later, he didn't care if he would be arrested.
"How?" Ying Shoushan asked.
"Mr. Ying, I asked Ji Wenhai to invite Fan Jiachang to meet tonight, and the location is Fuxing Restaurant." Feder said, repeating the story in detail.
Ying Shoushan nodded, "Very good, there is still more than an hour left, I will prepare, and you will call me when the time comes." ”
Ying Shoushan made some arrangements, and sat alone in the room and pondered. This meeting can be said to be very risky, but for the sake of the overall situation, Ying Shoushan knows that the sooner this matter is completed, the better it will be for their army.
As soon as the afternoon was over, Ying Shoushan washed up and changed into a rather gorgeous costume. Accompanied by Feide, he took the four entourages of Min Cheng, Jiao He and Mo Kun to Fuxing Restaurant.
After a while, Ji Wenhai was the first to arrive. After being introduced, seeing this young owner in a fancy costume, Ji Wenhai was very polite. Instead of going upstairs, a few people waited at the door for a while. When Fan Jiachang arrived, Ying Shoushan was quite surprised. Unexpectedly, the dignified chief of the Yixiang City was actually dressed in civilian clothes and came to the restaurant with only two entourages. The two sides introduced each other, and in a flattery, Fan Jiachang and Ying Shoushan came to the private room upstairs with a smile.
"Boss Ying, I don't know your name, what kind of business has you always run?" After Fan Jiachang sat down, he asked with a smile.
Ying Shoushan saw that the door of the private room was closed, and only the four of them and Fan Jiachang's two entourages were left in the room. Ji Wenhai had a flattering smile on his face, but Fei De looked a little nervous, which was also in line with his identity.
Ying Shoushan smiled slightly and said, "Lord Fan, what our family is doing is a big deal. ”
"Oh? I don't know how big a big deal can be? Fan Jiachang looked at Ying Shoushan with interest.
Ying Shoushan also looked directly at Fan Jiachang and said calmly, "Our family's business is big enough to make Your Majesty Longyan happy." ”
Fan Jiachang was stunned, but Ji Wenhai's face was a little unsightly, he felt that this young owner was blowing a little too much. It's okay to brag among the common people, but he dared to say this in front of Fan Jiachang, and he didn't know how many bowls of dry rice he ate.
"Dragon's face is happy? Hehe, do you know how heavy this sentence is? Boss Ying, I'm afraid you haven't seen a first-class master in your life, let alone a dragon face Dayue. ”
Fan Jiachang looked at Ying Shoushan with mockery, if it weren't for the matter of grain and grass, he would be like brushing his sleeves away now.
Ying Shoushan was unmoved, and said calmly, "Master Fan, I have a deal that can solve Your Majesty's current worries." ”
Fan Jiachang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a hint of anger, "Hmph, don't think that a few truckloads of grain and grass dare to say big things in front of this official." Ji Wenhai, you can talk about the next thing, there are still many things in this official, so I won't accompany you. ”
Fan Jiachang stood up as he spoke, Ying Shoushan raised his hand and pressed Fan Jiachang's arm, "Lord Fan, wait a minute." ”
Ji Wenhai sweated a little on his forehead, glared at Ying Shoushan angrily and said, "Boss Ying, don't be rude." ”
Ying Shoushan didn't hear it, "Lord Fan, I have a deal that can make Duan Lang fall into a place of no return." Do you think it's okay to sit down and talk? ”
Fan Jiachang was stunned for a moment, and a murderous aura appeared in his eyes, "Who are you?" ”
Fan Jiachang's two entourages pulled out their waist knives suddenly. Feld's heart trembled, and he quietly touched his waist. Ying Shoushan looked at everyone and gave Fei De a hint, which meant that he didn't have to resist. Under Fan Jiachang's sharp gaze, Ying Shoushan smiled calmly.
"In the Xiananping camp, the commander of the military division should guard the mountain!"
