Chapter 129: Pride (I)

"Bi Xiaoqing, where is the guard now? Can't be still in Wind Tracing Town, right? ”.

Bi Xiaoqing was a little embarrassed, and it was his idea to let the guards follow them about half a day away. He didn't think that such an action could really hide from Ye Tao, but it was not good to be exposed in private. He only responded: "The current location should be in Shuojin Village." It is about four hours away from Ninghe Town. ”

"You send someone to inform the guards that tomorrow we will march and join us at the Lening River. In addition, inform Lu Dan of the situation here, and ask him to dispatch a powerful part as soon as possible to the vicinity of the Ning River. Ye Tao ordered: "Tomorrow morning, we will reveal our identities and enter the Ninghe County Ya Office." Tomorrow, Han Dong and the officials under the Canal Governor's Office will report on their work and discuss the work plan for the next stage. The day after tomorrow, I will receive some of the local gentry, merchants, and representatives of the common people in Ninghe. The day after tomorrow, I went to the canal section to inspect the progress of the work. Feng Hao, these things will be arranged by you. ”

Feng Hao nodded serenely.

"Han Dong, tomorrow I will temporarily appoint you as the defense envoy of Ninghe Town, and the lieutenant of Ninghe County and those soldiers in the town will be under your jurisdiction, and this appointment will be revoked after all the tense situations in and around Ninghe Town have subsided. What is your opinion? ”

Han Dong was stunned for a moment. Ye Tao is gambling, in terms of gambling on Xiling, on how much Dao Mingzong is interested in him, how hostile he is, and how much scruple he has about him. As a governor of his state, he made his identity clear here to meet with officials and local people and inspect the work, if the Daoming Sect had a greater interest in Ye Tao, they would naturally stop the so-called revenge arrangement in their hands and study how big the chance of assassinating Ye Tao was, and whether it was worth it. On these days, they naturally don't startle the snake. It's sure to go through the storm, even if it's just on the surface. If the Daoming Sect was afraid of Ye Tao's authority as the governor of one party, then they would also restrain themselves a little, and they would definitely not make their "revenge" matter all over the city. And Ye Tao summoned the guards and asked his elite troops to come to the vicinity of Ninghe Town, which clearly prepared to kill the Eagle Hall force of Daoming Sect as soon as he had the opportunity. If Mo Leng did come to Dongping, he was indeed near Ninghe Town. It would be nice to get rid of him.

For Han Dong, these arrangements are beneficial and harmless. Ye Tao is tantamount to unloading the most troublesome burden on his shoulders now, and he also takes this part of the responsibility on his shoulders. Although the appointment of the temporary defense envoy is temporary, this kind of appointment will be written in his official resume to the letter, which will be of great benefit to his future career development.

Han Dong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Because in this instant, Ye Tao's decision can be said to be very decisive. He could smell the blood in it, and he could see Ye Tao's arrogance as a friend more than a boss for the children of their families. At least, Han Dong knew that if the elders in his family were here. Never do that way. For those guys who have been in the officialdom for many years, calming things down is almost the first consideration they do in many things, and as for the effects and consequences, they have to be put back.

Han Dong groaned. Answer: "Yes." However, my lord, if the matter comes to an absolute last resort, please think twice before mobilizing the army to kill the people in the rivers and lakes. Even if the characters in the rivers and lakes do have forbidden places, once such an army enters and suppresses, there will be no quiet around adults in the future. Han Dongdi hinted very clearly, this will touch the nerves of some Jianghu characters, and I am afraid that assassination, assassination, poisoning and other means will be staged around Ye Tao in an endless stream in the future. Nature. Even with the level of attention that Ye Tao is now in Dongping, it is very difficult to threaten him by various means, but it is more or less a trouble.

Ye Tao smiled open-mindedly and said, "Xiling and Daoming Sect are not martial arts figures, they are not people in the rivers and lakes, they have long been enemies. And for the enemy, there has always been no reason to talk about it. If they are willing to die again and again, then let them come. Ye Tao glanced at Bi Xiaoqing provocatively, and said half-jokingly: "Bi Xiaoqing." You tell me? ”

Bi Xiaoqing stood up straight. He held his head high and said, "Don't worry, my lord, this kind of small night will not disturb my lord." That's what my brothers and I ate this bowl of rice. ”

Ye Tao nodded with satisfaction. He said, "Then let the matter go on." ”

Han Dong asked some more specific arrangements and then retired. And Bi Xiaoqing returned to Ye Tao's side after conveying Ye Tao's arrangement to his subordinates for execution. Ye Tao asked, "By the way, do you know how to contact the internal guards?" They should know more about the things on the rivers and lakes. ”

The reason why these guys with strange backgrounds are called "guards" is probably because the establishment and operation of the entire secret intelligence system are operated by the Dongping royal family, and the funds are also from the royal family's expenses, and this institution is actually only responsible for the head of the country, Tan Xiaopei. But Bi Xiaoqing himself was born as an inner court guard, and he had dealt with the internal guards to some extent, and although Ye Tao and Zeng Man contacted and cooperated not on the secret front but in business, they were acquaintances after all, and now that he was supervising the party, he was undoubtedly a colt, so it was not surprising to know the news in this regard.

Bi Xiaoqing nodded and said, "I know." I had already left a mark on the corner when I went out. It should be time for someone from the internal guard to report it. ”

The briefing from the secret intelligence community came a little earlier than they expected. Zeng Man is the kind of person who likes to think more about anything and wants to be in front, and this time, when he arranged the power to protect Ye Tao, he did not just arrange those people around, but also took advantage of Ye Tao's fact that he was not very picky about the people around him who served him, and was not obsessed with choosing this characteristic by himself, and arranged a coachman to Ye Tao through Lu Dan and Bi Xiaoqing later.

Master? I can't say it, but this coachman is definitely the kind of person who can protect Ye Tao at a critical moment, a guy with good intelligence and ability. Realizing the strange atmosphere in Ninghe Town, the coachman Montaigne even connected with the secret guards arranged around Ye Tao earlier than Bi Xiaoqing, and through those secret guards, he contacted the internal guards who were active in Ninghe Town and learned about the situation first-hand.

Mo Leng did come to the boundary of Ninghe Town, and now he is settling in the Wang family manor in the west of the city. As many as twelve members of the Daoming Sect's Eagle Hall who had infiltrated Ninghe Town were able to identify, and two of them were recognized by Han Dong's family members, and they were still lurking in the town. One of the several hand-piercing characters known as Eagle Hall Siying is in Ninghe Town.

Montaigne did not show up. After that, the contact with Bi Xiaoqing was all made by those secret guards. Although Bi Xiaoqing knew his identity, he still acquiesced to his existence by Ye Tao's side as a final guarantee. Montaigne and the fueled carriage he drove were likely to play a key role in the crucial moment.
