Shangcheng, just in the prosperous season, the Dragon Bird Garden is rich and exquisite, but this time the attitude and scene of the host and guest have changed accordingly.

Before that, I was just an insignificant passer-by at the large-scale banquet of the director of Longque Garden, but it was only because I accidentally uncovered a certain conspiracy that I got the special condescension of the main family, and because of fate, I met Xin Jiaxuan, a martial arts scholar.

And now, I'm an exclusive guest invited to the host's house. The one who accompanied me in and out was no longer the eldest grandson Lu You, who was especially in the army, but Lu Nanshan, who had faintly become the current head of the family.

Although he only walked to the second gate to greet him in person, this change of attitude itself seemed to hint at some subtle change. The meeting place is no longer the flower hall or the inner hall, but in the courtyard of the back house that is more private or intimate.

I saw the white-haired deer man who was basking in the sun half covered with a blanket, he was still so half-dead and old, he didn't have much time to speak completely, and he couldn't help but stop and gasp as soon as he spoke, so more often than not, he was just like a chattering old man at home, and he gave me a simple lesson or two to take care of myself.

For example, when talking about an old friend of his, who had been silent for many years, he specially mentioned my name in the book, and it was rare to have all kinds of praise and praise.

Then, there were several old friends and some of the generals who were quite prestigious in front of the army, and they also talked about the performance of my firearms unit to some extent, especially in the case of various ineffective officers and soldiers, as a rare bright spot and rare praise.

In the end, he said that now that the imperial court intends to reduce it, and the vanity and extravagance that have been exposed in the Qingyuan Rebellion, the plans of the defense army and the town of Jinai have now become a foregone conclusion after fierce weighing and exchange

Correspondingly, the establishment of a new army in Kinai, which is relatively proficient and flexible, will be at the back of the agenda. For this reason, an internal envoy was specially sent to hear them, the old guys who had long since retired but were still alive in the world, which also represented a certain kind of relaxation and testing of the waters.

Among them, a special part is designated as the sequence of the new firearms unit. To this end, in the military registration of the Ministry of War, we have screened and searched for various qualified candidates for generals, and listed the corresponding conditions.

For example, those who are familiar with firearms tactics, have the experience and achievements of the corresponding actual combat units, and have a reliable and stable background, but have little to do with the mountains and factions in the existing army, and those who are not involved are given priority.

In addition, the Shangzhu State in the shogunate also formulated an ambitious plan to take shape, and the new army was formed, and some achievements were made, which will be used as a model and model, expanded and renumbered, as a mobile force directly under the national dynasty, and attached to all roads in Yanbian, as a basic benchmark, to drive the restructuring and redressing of the local garrison, so the future is unlimited.

So, it seems that I have inadvertently become a bargaining chip and chess piece for others to compete for the right to speak and key positions.

After the garden returns to tranquility,

"It's a pity that our Lu family doesn't have a daughter of school age anymore......"

Lu Gong, who seemed to be sleepy and asleep, suddenly closed his eyes and sighed to his eldest son

"Ani's vision can also be settled, but it still needs to be polished......"

"Why is that...... Ah Ong"

Lu Nanshan was a little puzzled.

"That's because he hasn't entered the sight of those people yet......"

Lu Gong opened his puffy eye bubbles slightly.

"Otherwise, the identity of a Luo fanzi, how can he be ......?"

"I just don't want to be old and don't want to take the lead......"

After coming out of the Dragon Bird Garden, I was still digesting the news, and then according to the itinerary, the accompanying entourage went to the nearest place to continue to visit Mrs. Chen's place.

Since the Meishan Pavilion has not yet been renovated, the meeting place is still borrowed from Jiayejun's mansion, compared with the exquisite richness of Longque Garden, Jiayejun's clan mansion is another elegant and ingenious pattern and atmosphere.

Almost no need to pass it on, waiting in front of the door of the pavilion, directly guided me inside, and the master's beautiful mature woman Jia Yejun said a few words, by the way to her easily shy daughter to say hello, gave a hand-woven small object, only then was led, a small transparent greenhouse spliced with all glass, gently knocked on the partition.

My sister was dressed in men's clothes, carrying a silver watering can, watering an unknown yellow bud orchid grass, and nodded to me slightly when she heard the sound, and washed her hands at the spring water that the rockery led by, and then sat down face to face, and put out a pot of tea and a few delicate snacks.

It seems that this period of time has been somewhat reduced, but it is extraordinarily spiritual, and it seems to be related to the fact that the Beiren Party and the main battle faction are currently gaining power in the DPRK, and she has no formal official position at important hubs and nodes

As Sister Yu, who met me halfway, she really didn't have to say anything about my help and kindness, and most of them were not directly reflected in the name, all kinds of secret help and indirect promoters, but they were more rare thoughts and kindness than that kind of naked city kindness.

After all, openly accepting too much kindness from an object is tantamount to being bound to its position and inclination in disguise, and no matter how unscrupulous it is to climb up, it is difficult for ungrateful people to go far.

Although there are naturally her own selfish and position considerations, and perhaps there are gains and losses in the overall situation and interests, but on the whole, what I get is real benefits and benefits, which is enough

After all, there is no love and hate for no reason in this world, and there is no benefit for no reason, just relying on a name or kindness, you can ask others to pay for you unconditionally, that is just a brainless online article.

More often than not, a solid interpersonal relationship and bond is established on a common or similar position, maintaining some mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation, sharing benefits, and being willing to accept other people's favors and goodwill, and replacing gains and losses with coming and going, which is the way to get along and maintain for a long time.

And the way she deals with things, even if she knows her motives and tendencies, she can't give birth to too many minds and bad feelings, which is enough

"Youde, you've given me a big problem......

Mrs. Chen just looked at me for a while and didn't say anything until I couldn't help but want to touch my face, if there was something strange, and then I spoke

"I wanted you to go through it and get to the bottom of it,"

"But I didn't expect you to go further and do much better than I thought."

"It's not thanks to Sister A that gave me this opportunity and identity."

I smiled and said modestly

"And then add some luck and the brothers' hard work, and the dish will earn a little bit of fame."

"You're talking about lightweight, but that's ......."

"The position that was originally booked can no longer accommodate your merits and qualifications"

She looked at me with a smirk

"You can't let a special general and firearms in front of the army know about it, and demote him to be a full-time lieutenant at the head of a battalion......"

"Isn't that going to make people scold me for having no eyes, and Mingzhu secretly cast ......"

"Sister said with a smile......

"But it's not a joke......

She shook her head

"However, the people of the Four Seaguards and the Military Military Division are also eyeing you again......"

"The four seaguards, only say that you are acting differently, and your intentions are very big."

"The Gendarmerie Division has reported that they are greedy for money, have many disputes with friendly troops, and have many disputes with the camp, so as to transfer the profits obtained by the soldiers, and all kinds of malpractices and dereliction of duty, and also bad morale in the army......"

"What should we do now......

I sincerely asked, I just got the news from the Dragon Bird Garden, which made me somewhat confident, even if there was too much trouble.

"Please also ask Sister A to make one or two ......"

"So you actually have two paths right now,"

She is not pretentious, straight to the point

"Disperse most of the centaurs, and then keep the status quo so that I can at least guarantee that no one can use you as a topic and a reason,"

"As your guarantor and thrust, I still have this ability, Sister......"

I shook my head slightly and continued to look at her, looking forward to what was to come

"Or, you take the initiative to seek higher official status and qualifications, and continue to lead this group of people in a good name

"Although it may still be a hindrance. But with the corresponding positions, even if it is the Four Seaguards and the Military Military Division, they must be ......"

She suddenly changed the subject

"After all, the batch of experienced firearms veterans you brought out in the battlefield are quite sought-after even if they are placed in the official army......

"I believe that there are people who are willing to take over their future......"

"Do I still have a chance and a reason to choose the first one?"

I suddenly realized in my heart, but someone was eyeing my troops, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly,

"Just give up those who follow me from birth to death?"

"Is that really the case......

She sighed with some relief and a little regret.

"Repentant husband looking for a marquis, are you men so obsessed with advancing and retreating......

"It's just that Miss Yuwen, I'm afraid that some of them have worked hard......"

In this regard, I can only pretend to be naïve and continue to smile and say nothing.

"Since you have a determination and a heart"

She continued

"Then I might as well explain some of the reasons to you......"

I thought to myself, this will be the real key issue.

I had already obtained some so-called inside information beforehand, and with the things that Mrs. Chen had told me one after another, I could determine a basic outline and direction of what had happened during this time.

For example, as the direction that the main battle faction has been working towards, the imperial court has set the tone for the Northern Expedition, and as soon as the war in Yuanzhou is over, the troops will be collected and fully engaged, and I will be summoned back as a potential help that can be worthy of being cultivated and supported.

You must know that I was originally just an idle move, but I played an unexpected role and expression outside the board, so some big figures in the main battle faction also had disagreements because of this, and some advocated that I should be absorbed into the system to play a greater role, or to expand the power and influence of the lower generals.

But some people think it's too much of a fuss, insisting that I stay out of the system, secretly give limited support, and continue to be used as an off-board move to help save zài, there is no need to attract more attention and jealousy because of this.

Their reason for this is also very good, after all, if any mainstream faction is too big and wants to reach out for everything, it is difficult to say whether it will cause some kind of jealousy from the supreme ruling minister, or a joint backlash from other forces and factions.

Of course, the qiē hidden behind this can also be regarded as the camp of the famous main battle faction, the battle between large and small factions for dominance and resource distribution, and Mrs. Chen and the southeast recruiting division behind her are just one of them.

In the political game, it is impossible to please all or get everyone's support, it is impossible for people to have their own interests and positions, and some people must be in favor of it and some people will oppose it, and it is likely that the reason is just quite superficial, I purely look at you unpleasantly, or a small grievance many years ago.

"Sister is limited by a woman after all......"

She finally said apologetically,

"That's all I can do for you......"

Although she seems to regret that I can't get enough support from the main battle faction, for me, there are benefits outside the system, and maybe there are additional surprises.
