Cheng Yue also welcomed the refuge of these four people, the more troops he controlled, the better, and the surroundings of Lin'an could not be controlled by the imperial court. What's more, the abilities of these people are very favored by Cheng Yue, and the soldiers and horses under his command are also elite soldiers who have been fighting for a long time.

Cheng Yue said: "Okay, you are willing to follow me, I am also proud to have a good man like you to work with, rest for a few days first, and when all the soldiers and horses in Sichuan arrive, go to Lin'an with me." ”

The four of them respectfully accepted the order, and greeted Cheng Yue's subordinates again, and became even more enthusiastic like a family.

Cheng Yue put wine to wash the dust for them, but there was no chamberlain to deliver the decree. The four people at the banquet almost swallowed chopsticks, but they felt that they had never eaten such a delicacy since they were children, and now Cheng Yue is also allowed to drink, this wine is also something they have never drunk, it is so strong!

After a satisfying meal, I was even more sure that there was nothing wrong with my performance. (Chinese have always been foodies)

The next day, the four of them went to their own army to announce their surrender to Cheng Yue, and they were immediately greeted with thunderous cheers. Nothing else, only here is Cheng Yue, I feel that I live like a person, and it is interesting to be a soldier.

Cheng Yue sent people to reorganize the army and then train, because of the good treatment, do not deduct, plus Cheng Yue often personally led the team to train, no one was lazy, and the combat strength not only recovered quickly, but also improved more than before.

These days, there are many people from all over the world who come to Changzhou to serve, especially those who are studying. Cheng Yue put them all in one place, let Meng Zhijing and Meng Zhijin also join them, and study their own set of books every day, led by Yang Ting, Li Fu and others also have to go every day, because Cheng Yue has to tell them about their governance structure and basic economics, and they are also responsible for teaching these students.

Cheng Yue would give lectures every day. No matter what the purpose is, these people are very serious about learning, and Cheng Yue has also found a lot of talents among them, but they can only be used if Yang Ting has verified their background.

Yang Ting showed extraordinary talent in this regard, and from the many scholars, he found more than 20 spies of the Yuan army, as well as undercover agents sent by several ministers of the court. Then they identified each of them, and found a dozen more.

Nearly half of them had passed the test and were willing to surrender to Cheng Yue, Yang Ting formed a separate team of them, and Cheng Yue gave them a spy lesson, intending to send them back to the Yuan Dynasty after completion.

Cheng Yue's training of spies has never stopped, and Yang Ting has chosen many people to study secretly with Cheng Yue, and now people have been sent out one after another. Yang Ting himself has also cultivated a lot of people, scattered all over the place to provide information for Cheng Yue. It's just that fewer people were sent to the Yuan Dynasty, and now they are starting to work on a large scale.

After a few more days, Zhang Gui came to Cheng Yue's study, looked out mysteriously, closed the door of the study, and said in a low voice as low as possible: "Childe, the person you asked for with Boyan has arrived." ”

Cheng Yue was overjoyed, but when he saw Zhang Gui tiptoeing, he knew that he had misunderstood. That day, he went to see Boyan with Xie Ruji, and Xie Ruji had already gone to Jiankang, so naturally he didn't say much to Zhang Gui. All he wants is a woman, no wonder he misunderstood.

Cheng Yue smiled: "Don't be so careful, my ladies are all out to be busy, let's say, how many people came?" ”

Zhang Gui breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to use a normal voice, and said: "Son, Boyan has sent more than 1,000 people, all of whom are sect daughters, but they are all far away from the official family, and there are some beauties in them." The two sect girls that Master Lu gave to Boyan that Gongzi mentioned were also inside, and I called them over and waited outside the courtyard. ”

Cheng Yue deliberately showed a smile and said, "Well, it's okay, bring them in, I have something to say to them." ”

Zhang Gui hesitated for a moment, but still made up his mind, and said to Cheng Yue with a very sincere attitude: "Childe, my subordinates know that Childe never delays business because of women, but he wants so many women at once, and he is a sect daughter, right and wrong are inevitable, what will people in the world think of Childe?" Even if it is an official family, they will feel that the son intends to humiliate them. Childe is still young, and there will inevitably be more and better women in the future, and it seems that there is no hurry, and there are too many this time. Childe is tied to the world with one body, and he must always take care of his body. The subordinates feel that the son can choose some people who are obedient, and it is enough to leave dozens of them to wait by his side, too many for fear of provoking criticism. ”

Cheng Yue finally couldn't help laughing, and told Zhang Gui about his plan while laughing.

When Zhang Gui heard this, he was immediately relieved, and because he misunderstood Cheng Yue, he blamed himself a little, and said: "My subordinates are guilty of their crimes, but they are not as far-sighted as their sons." ”

Cheng Yue smiled again and said, "What kind of crime do you know, I deliberately teased you just now." To tell you the truth, in fact, I still have a consideration, there are still many single civil and military sergeants in my army, and it is good to match them to achieve a marriage. Many of these women have been tarnished, but their character has nothing to do with this, and giving them a good home can also allow these poor women to live with peace of mind. In war, the worst people are women and children, so help those who can. You have to settle down well, I will only ask you what happened. If you want to choose one or two concubines or something, you can do it, but you can't force others, you have to be willing. ”

Zhang Gui also blushed a little, he took a fancy to a few, but because he thought it was Cheng Yue's woman at first, he didn't dare to move this thought, but just now he moved this thought, and Cheng Yue saw it.

Zhang Gui coughed, covered up the embarrassment a little, and said: "The two sect girls at the door look really good, a few little ladies are so busy, and there are few people waiting around the son, so it's better to stay." The subordinates let them in. After speaking, Cheng Yue nodded and ran away.

Cheng Yue remembered Shiyun and Ziyan in Jiangyin again, and he said goodbye to them for several months. Although I wrote letters to them and sent them all kinds of things, I still felt a little sorry for them in my heart. This time I went to Lin'an, of course, I had to go to Jiangyin to bring them, and I don't know how much flying vinegar they will eat.

Cheng Yue was thinking about the two little girls, and there were two beauties in palace clothes standing timidly at the door of the study, which made people's eyes shine.

Cheng Yue smiled and beckoned, and the two beauties saw that Cheng Yue was young and handsome, and his bearing was extraordinary, but he was still gentle and polite, and he also mustered up the courage to walk in front of Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue looked at these two beauties, one was charming and plump, with a hot body, but she was shy. The other is delicate and lovely, with a slender waist in his hand, and when Cheng Yue glanced at him, he was so nervous that his whole body was soft. Xindao Lu Shikui, this guy, is really good at choosing people. It is really not easy for Boyan to push such a beauty out. If it's yourself, hmm...... What's this...... It's hard to say.

Cheng Yue pointed to the plump and hot and said, "What's your name?" ”

The beautiful woman's body was shocked, and she hurriedly said: "The slave's maiden name is Gillian, please meet the Metropolitan Governor." After speaking, Ying Ying saluted.

Cheng Yue asked the delicate and lovely person again, "What about you?" ”

The beautiful woman lowered her head and whispered, "The slave girl's name is Wan'er, please see the Metropolitan Governor." "It's also a salute.

As soon as Cheng Yue heard these two names, he knew that although they were known as the daughters of the clan, they were far away from the direct lineage of the royal family, and they had no offerings for a long time, and they were no different from the people. But their identities are also clan daughters, and they were born thousands of charming, so they suffered such a fate.

Cheng Yue pointed to the chair beside him and said, "You sit down first, I have something to say to you." ”

Where did Gillian and Wan'er dare to sit down in front of a high-ranking person like Cheng Yue, and they didn't dare to disobey the order, so they had to turn sideways, dip a little chair, and barely hold on.

Cheng Yue was really uncomfortable watching them sit like this, so it was better to stand. So he ordered them to sit in it a little more.

The two beauties leaned in fear, refusing to move in again.

Cheng Yue doesn't force it, they are like this by nature, they can't force them casually, take their time, and they will get better soon.

Cheng Yue asked about Lu Shikui, and Gillian said boldly: "At that time, the traitor Lu Shikui got the news from somewhere, saying that the slave family was beautiful and the daughter of the sect, worthy of the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, and asked the soldiers to arrest us and go to Lu Shikui's house. It was there that the slave family met Wan'er's sister and several other sisters. Lu Shikui came to see us in person, so he picked the two of us and asked a few brides to change into palace clothes for us, which is the current dress. He greased and powdered us, dressed us up more brightly, and sent us to Boyan's room to wait for him to come back. After Boyan finished drinking at the invitation of Master Lu, he returned to the room and saw our sisters. I was surprised to see him, and after asking what was going on, I was so angry that I scolded Lu Shikui and kicked us out. When Lu Shikui heard that we had been kicked out, he immediately ran to ask Boyan for his guilt. Then we were taken away and served as envoys in Lu Shikui's house. But Master Lu has an order that no one is allowed to touch us. The slave family thought to themselves, maybe they were afraid that Boyan would change their minds, and the slave sisters also kept their innocence. Later, I heard that the Metropolitan Governor had deceived Lu Shikui with a trick, so that Lu Shikui could not go south. After a while, Lu Shikui ordered someone to send us to Prime Minister Boyan. Our sisters thought it was Boyan who wanted us to serve again, but when we went, we found that it wasn't. Instead, he heard that the Dadu Governor defeated Boyan, captured Ashu, and forced the Yuan Dynasty to negotiate peace with the Dadu Governor. Most of the governors are good-hearted, and they still remember us hard-working people, and I heard that they specially named our sisters to return to the Great Song Dynasty. Later, more and more sisters came from all over the country, and more than 1,000 people gathered, and they were sent here. At this, the faces of the two beauties were full of gratitude, and they knelt down again to thank them.

Cheng Yue only felt a sour feeling in his heart. Since he came here, he has heard countless stories of this kind and that from different people, especially the women and children in the war, who suffered the most. These two innocent little girls are sent around like duckweed by a group of men, completely unable to control their own destiny. For them, being able to save their lives and not be beaten and scolded is already the best result. And what happened to them is already a great blessing in misfortune.

Cheng Yue lowered his voice softer and asked, "How old are you?" Who else is in the family? ”

Gillian and Wan'er couldn't help but burst into tears immediately when they heard this, and Wan'er cried: "Sister Gillian is sixteen and a half years old, and the slave family is sixteen years old and three months. Lu Shikui's traitor sacrificed us to Boyan, and he would not kill our family if he wanted to. It's just thousands of miles away from home, and I don't know when I'll see them again. ”
