Rifts stretch across the ground, and drought divides the earth.

On the way back, Corning couldn't help but look up at the sun in the sky many times. She sometimes couldn't believe that the April sun could scorch the earth like that.

This sunlight is like a knife, cutting the earth like a cake.

"Why do you feel a little bit of July?" Corning said suspiciously as he walked.

"It's not that hot, it's just so dry that it makes people feel dehydrated." At that time, the forest coverage was still very high, and the overall temperature was estimated to be much cooler than in later generations. So he kind of couldn't stand it.

In fact, what he can't stand even more is the crops that are not harvested in the geography. Water shortages have become more severe, and soon the hungry will no longer be homeless.

When he and Chai Yinbin saw those hungry people a few days ago, they were not just wandering hungry people, but they were actually in their best state. Soon the tide of food shortage will sweep across the land of Qilu, and the central and southern regions of Shandong will be the first to fall into the crisis of the outbreak of displaced people.

The next step is to eat everything you can, including human flesh.

Then there is the snatching of food, the breeding of robbers and robbers, and then the destruction of social order, the loss of control of the government, even if it has the intention to provide disaster relief, the role it can play is very limited.

"Let's hurry up." Ai Mengxia said, "The place where Gongzi can exert himself is not in this field, but in Qingzhou City. ”

Yuan Fang also said: "We have to move faster than Xu Hongru, I'm afraid she has hoarded a lot of food and is waiting to attract hungry people." ”

Corning nodded. As for Xu Hongru, all they know at present is that Xu Hongru's trade with the Black Clothes Society is an important part of his gradual fortune. As for this man's character and methods, Corning knew nothing. That lofty ideal, I am not sure if it is a signboard he used to buy people's hearts. Maybe he really wanted to do that, but Corning really didn't think much of it.

A few days later, they finally returned to the capital city of Qingzhou. Since Kang Ning had already instructed Chai Yinbin to clean up the exposed White Lotus Sect forces, and Wang Sen had been with him for a long time before, so he didn't have much time to rearrange the eyeliner here, so he wasn't too worried about being targeted by some eyes.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to Qingzhou Mansion, he walked into the prefect's yamen, and he was not worried that Wang Sen would suspect that he had come to return his life to Chai Yinbin after he found out.

"Brother An Shixian is here." Chai Yinbin's new official took office three times, and it is said that he will be busy, but his predecessor Li Zhuo took care of all affairs in an orderly manner, which made him have to follow the rules and live a quiet life as soon as he took office. Kangning's matter is one of the few things that has worried him recently, "Come on, come on, sit down and tell the foolish brother what the situation is." ”

Kang Ning couldn't tell him his identity as Jinyiwei, so he couldn't say that he knew that Wang Sen was here based on Jinyiwei's intelligence.

So he made up a beginning, claiming that he had found something strange in the city, and he followed him out of curiosity, but he didn't expect to overhear Wang Sen's title of Dharma King Stone Buddha, and knew that he was the leader of the White Lotus of the Demon Sect, so he immediately decided to follow him.

I didn't expect to meet my cousin by accident, and then the next thing was basically the truth. Even when he encountered Jin Yiwei, he didn't have to hide it from Chai Yinbin and the one who had just rushed over.

Then there is the trade in the underground city, and part of the situation about Xu Hongru. Then, he suggested that Wang Sen use his relationship with the government to secretly preach in Qingzhou Mansion.

Wang Sen readily agreed, so he returned to Qingzhou Mansion and began to organize the group training that he had talked about with Wang Sen and Chai Yinbin.

Corning couldn't help but talk more about Chai Yinbin. First, the gap between their identities is relatively large, and it is more difficult to gain trust, so he needs to spend more effort. Second, in the food chain of the Ming court, Xu Hongru, and Wang Sen, the current strength of the Ming court is the strongest, so he plans his future in the Ming court, so he needs to use more facts in exchange for their support and cooperation.

After listening to Kang Ning's more specific explanation, combined with the letter brought by Yang Dayan before, Chai Yinbin had basically made up his mind to use Kang Ning's plan to deal with the White Lotus Sect.

At this time, Chai Yinbin's teacher, Shi Ziming, had already taken over as the governor of Shandong and the right capital of the imperial history Qian Shiwan, and became the actual administrator of the land of Qilu.

Some people who wanted to kill Shi Ziming continued to show off in front of Emperor Wanli. They even won the title of left deputy imperial envoy for Shi Ziming.

This situation was told by Chai Yinbin to Kangning.

"The teacher was still crying and laughing, but after learning about this, he was already overjoyed."

Corning also smiled: "Kill? This is the bad idea that the bastard gave them. I am not afraid to turn the fake into the real and shoot myself in the foot. ”

"Brother Xian is really high." Chai Yinbin said with a smile, "That bad idea is that the teacher sent people to break into them and do it for them." ”

When Kangning heard this, he was stunned from the bottom of his heart. This Shi Ziming is really a good method, and such a bad idea can even win the trust of the enemy. It's a pity that he is not in the capital and missed a good show.

However, the more exciting repertoire should be in the future, as long as he doesn't miss the finale.

"We have to bother Mr. Ziming to support the group training."

"Brother Xian, don't worry. As soon as I wrote to inform my teacher, I guess there will be a response soon. It's just that our group training, since we want to mix with the people of the White Lotus Sect, then there must be more of our talents to facilitate action. Moreover, the first emperor still had to participate in the scientific examination in the future, and it was inconvenient to receive a military position. It's best to find a trustworthy person to take care of military affairs for the virtuous brother. ”

"Adults don't have to worry about that. I already have a good candidate, and in a few days, he will come to Qingzhou Mansion. At that time, the little flute will be introduced to the elder brother. ”

"Good!" Chai Yinbin clapped his hands, "Foolish brother is waiting for good news." ”

Kangning said goodbye and returned to his residence in Qingzhou Mansion.

Now all he has to do is find someone who can help him train the team.

First of all, this person must not be smiling and silent. Only with fewer exchanges can he be minimally unaffected by the White Lotus Sect. The second is that he is excellent in martial arts and can control the scene. The critical moment was able to stop the reckless actions of the White Lotus Cultists. The third is to administer the army strictly and ensure that this regiment is trained to be of high quality and can be used in war. Fourth, in addition to being excellent in martial arts, there must also be a stunt that can convince Chai Yinbin and make him the direct manager of the group training.

After thinking about it, Corning finally chose someone. Subsequently, he immediately turned him into his own subordinate with the reincarnation of the filthy earth.

This time the filthy earth reincarnation, although the strong light has appeared, but the inside of the house has blocked the window, and it has not attracted the attention of other people around.

Three days later, Kang Ning heard that the gluttonous food in Qingzhou City was much better than that in Yizhou City, so he decided to invite Chai Yinbin there to talk about peace. Shang Xin, Yang Dayan and others also went at the same time.

Of course, the benevolent brother who was summoned by himself should not be absent.

"Brother Xian." Chai Yinbin still seems to be very leisurely, and has been busy making friends with the local gentry and tyrants recently. Chinese-style making friends is naturally indispensable to the exchange of cups. Therefore, he has been frequenting the more famous Gigabyte restaurant in Fucheng recently, and as for the gluttonous food founded by Shi Ziming, he uses it as his home field.

"The little brother is presumptuous, and he calls the prefect a brother." Corning returned the salute and said humbly.

"Brother Xian, where are these words. Don't say a brother, ten hundred sounds, as long as the virtuous brother does not dislike the foolish brother and pedantic, it will be a lifetime. ”

"That virtuous brother will take the liberty of a lifetime."

The crowd laughed and went upstairs. Although it was Kang Ning's treat, the more familiar Chai Yinbin smiled and brought Kang Ning into a private room with an excellent location.

After entering the private room, Kang Ning noticed that Chai Yinbin was preparing to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Because there are already a lot of guests in the private room.

Chai Yinbin waved his hand, pointed to the people around him and said: "Brother Xian, please forgive Brother Yu for not having time to tell you in advance, today, I have invited the gentry and celebrities of Qingzhou Mansion, and the big businessmen and magnates to you." We have agreed that those who have money will pay you, and those who don't have money will have to pick up a huge pen like a rafter and make a noise for you. ”

When Kang Ning heard this, Chai Yinbin had already prepared for himself, and immediately thanked him: "Brother really gave the little brother a big surprise, little brother, thank you." ”

Chai Yinbin smiled, but he was thinking in his heart: Do you a small favor today, and tomorrow you will be one step closer to our Shixuemen people.

Besides, he is also doing it for official business, not for personal gain, and he does it without any guilt.

"Brother Xian, where are these words. Come, please take a seat. ”

Corning led his men into their seats. Tan Yixun said at this time: "An Shi, what about the person you chose? Everyone wants to see it. After all, he is the one who wants to lead the group training, and he has been praised by the virtuous brother, how can he not make us curious. ”

When everyone heard this, they all responded in unison, and asked Corning to introduce that person.

Kangning knew that all parties had funded the group exercises, and they also wanted to take the opportunity to stuff their own people into it in order to maintain their local status. If he can't hold the scene, then they will probably put forward their own candidate.

After all, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and he Kangning is an outsider after all. If they really want not to give face to the prefect, how can outsiders really protect the township, and they can let Kangning roll roll away.

After Tan Yixun said that, he was also desperately trying to wink at Kangning. Although he and Kang Ning have not yet tacitly agreed that they can communicate directly with their eyes, Kang Ning can see that Tan Yixun is a little anxious in his heart.

Presumably, Chai Yinbin didn't want too many forces to squeeze into the group training, otherwise, once the local heroes did not listen to moderation, then he, the prefect, would lose control of the group training.

Corning wasn't worried that something would go wrong with that person, but he just glanced behind him, only to find that the person wasn't there.

"Old Yang, where is Mingyue?"

"Mingyue?" Before Yang Dayan could give an answer, a local tyrant was surprised, "Could it be that the little official Kang is looking for a girl?" ”

Everyone was in an uproar, what they needed was a regimental training commander, not a little girl who would protect their lives.

Seeing this scene, Tan Yixun had no choice but to say, "What's wrong with the girl?" Look at this Ai girl, she is heroic. I don't think the three or five of you are his opponents. ”

When the local tyrant heard this, he was very unhappy and said: "My Qing'zhou has always been an outstanding person, and it is naturally the most attentive of the locals to organize group training to protect the township. Why ask outsiders to help. ”

Chai Yinbin couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Zhang Yuanwai, let's meet the Mingyue girl you said." ”

In fact, Chai Yinbin is not as worried as Tan Yixun, looking at the strange people around Kang Ning, he must be able to get his recommendation, and he is not a simple person.

"Okay." The former member couldn't help but give the prefect a little thin face, and took a step back at the moment, but it was only a step back, "Then let's see how sassy and heroic this Mingyue girl is." ”

At that moment, most of the gentry, under his instigation, began to shout: "Bright moon! Moon! Moon! ”

What's more, some people even uttered foul language.

"If you don't do it, you can come and warm my bed, hahaha."

At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.

A strong man with dark skin, big shoulders and a round waist, and a fierce spirit, filled the door of the small private room.

I heard the man ask in a deep and powerful voice, "Who was calling me just now?" ”

Suddenly, there was silence in the room.

After a long time, someone reacted and asked timidly, "You are Mingyue?" ”

"Exactly!"

At this time, the whole private room exploded, and most people's first reaction was to ask: "Why are you a man?" ”
