A month later, on the Xiaoyao Building of Daxing City Bliss Villa, Wang Shichong's eyes narrowed slightly, lying on his tiger skin chair, sitting alone on the railing, blowing the familiar autumn evening breeze, with the smell of fried hu cakes and mutton buns in the wind, and the aroma of willow forest wine wafted faintly, which is the familiar taste of home.

The gloomy jungle of Ningzhou, the suffocating sultry heat, the sheep intestine path that does not see the light of day, the raging poisonous insects and beasts, the terrifying war elephants, the crazy battle primitives, and the open and secret battles between Shi Wansui and Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, these damn things can finally be completely released from the brain.

A faint fragrance blew by, An Suiyu's small braid replaced the blood-like remnant sun in the distance, and appeared in front of Wang Shichong's eyes, with a smile on her face, and her eyes bent into two crescents: "It's been three or four days since you came back, you don't go to court, and you don't go to the military department on duty, you just nest at home every day, what do you want." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Ayu, thanks to you for taking care of your business during this time, and after coming back, you appeased Mai Tiecane, Duan Da and the five of them spent 100,000 yuan, and the three hundred servants who followed me to fight in Ningzhou also spent 150,000 yuan in rewards, and the seventeen brothers who died in the war spent 170,000 yuan in funeral expenses. ”

A hint of complaint flashed in An Suiyu's eyes: "Xingman, are you really the kind of woman who has no knowledge and can only pick up money?" In the past six months, the business has earned more than 5 million, and compared to these, the hundreds of thousands you spent are really nothing.

And Ayu knows very well, if it weren't for the power you are gradually gaining now. As well as you and the officials and generals of the DPRK and China. And the good working relationship that has been established between the families behind them. Now from Longyou to Guanzhong, to Dongdu, and then to the Sanwu area in the south of the Yangtze River, hundreds of shops of the Wang family firm are already in operation, every month tea, silk. The net profit brought by the wine business is not less than one million, and the line is full, these are all supported by you. ”

Wang Shichong closed his eyes, as if the money was falling all over the world, and he nodded with satisfaction: "It's just such a big business, you take care of it well, and it's really not easy." Now I answer your question just now, after returning from the Ningzhou expedition this time, the emperor has not officially rewarded his meritorious deeds, and Shi Wansui and Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, have also formed a bond this time. I estimate that before the army class, Yang Xiu's complaint letter had already entered the Beijing division with the fast horse. I'm afraid that the emperor is also in trouble now, how to make an evaluation of this consultation. ”

An Suiyu frowned slightly, and put aside a cup of blood glutinous drink in his hand: "I heard that in this expedition to Ningzhou, the emperor's original intention was to capture the leader of the rebellion, the two brothers of the Fu family, and even sent a messenger to chase the army and ask to bring these two people back, but I saw that when I was taken prisoner yesterday, there were only a bunch of hostages from various tribes, and there was no leader of the rebellion, what is going on?" ”

Wang Shichong opened his eyes and looked at the staircase, An Suiyu smiled: "Don't worry, all the people in the building are guarding below, there are only you and me here." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly and touched An Suiyu's beautiful face: "You are still thoughtful." To tell you the truth, this Ningzhou expedition, the war went quite smoothly, but the multi-party game behind it was really unexpected. Wang Shichong then talked in detail about the things that started from the night banquet of the King of Shu to the Lushui Shenjin, and listened to the Ansui Yuhua's complexion and sighed again and again.

After finishing speaking, An Suiyu sighed: "I can't imagine that there are so many twists and turns behind this seemingly smooth Ningzhou expedition, so how can Shi Wansui hide Wan Zhiguang's eyes and sink those boxes filled with gold into the river, how can there be so many stone tablets in those boxes?" ”

Wang Shichong said calmly: "This is the reason why the army wants to stay on the edge of Lushui for more than ten days, Shi Wansui secretly sent reliable stonemasons in the army to build those stone tablets overnight, and then made fifty identical large iron boxes, put the stone tablets into it, and every day during the day, the fifty gold boxes were transported around, and the car had a mezzanine, and when changing the boxes, he secretly made hands and feet, put the gold boxes into the mezzanine, and took out the stone stele boxes that were originally hidden. Magic's eyes and ears couldn't see it. ”

An Suiyu said with a smile: "It turned out that it was such a plan to steal beams and change pillars, it must have come from you." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Wrong, this strategy was proposed by Zhang Xutuo, this person is both humanistic and martial, has the courage of an overlord, and what is even more rare is that he is thoughtful and proficient in the art of war, he is really a rare talent, I will definitely make friends with this person." ”

An Suiyu nodded: "But he seems to be very loyal to Shi Wansui, after all, it was Shi Wansui who pulled it up, listen to you, this person is also very good at repaying kindness, I am only afraid that when Shi Wansui is still there, it is impossible for Zhang Xutuo and you to be dead-hearted, just a general friendship." ”

The blue light in Wang Shichong's eyes flashed: "Compared with his civil and military skills, loyalty is what I value more, take your time, I always feel that Shi Wansui still left hidden dangers this time, and it may be planted in this matter in the future." ”

An Suiyu blinked her big eyes and wondered, "How could it be?" Isn't all gold sinking into the river? ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "The world is impermanent, after all, the Fu brothers have been put back, and it will be a big hidden danger in the future, the army has just passed Lushui five days later, and the envoys of the imperial court also rushed to the army, asking Shi Wansui to bring the rebel leaders led by the Fu brothers back to Daxing, at that time Shi Wansui said that it was to stabilize the situation in Ningzhou and show the kindness of the imperial court, so he had released the Fu brothers back to the tribe, I guess that Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, could guess from this incident that the emperor must be dissatisfied with Shi Wansui, so he took the opportunity to send a messenger into Beijing to report secretly. ”

An Suiyu shook his head: "Yang Xiu can't blackmail, do you dare to continue to entangle Shi Wansui like that?" ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "It will be, this Ningzhou expedition, Yang Xiu is the person who lost the most, the only opportunity to make a contribution slipped through his fingertips, he wanted to make friends with Shi Banzai, and the attempt to introduce foreign aid in the future was not realized, he didn't want to find a way to retaliate." The emperor sent a messenger to ask for a prisoner, and the discerning person knew at a glance that Lu Dao was dissatisfied with Shi Wansui's behavior, and Yang Xiu only needed to be ambiguous in the secret report, and he didn't need to say that Shi Wansui took bribes and indulged in the enemy, just vaguely said that Shi Wansui's troops were scattered in Ningzhou to suppress bandits and wantonly search and arrest, then the emperor naturally knew that it was okay if there was no accident in Ningzhou, and if the Fu brothers rebelled again, then Shi Wansui would be unlucky. ”

An Suiyu said "ah": "The brothers of the Fu family lost like this time, will they rebel again?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "It's not easy to say, it's not easy for the Central Plains army to go to Ningzhou once, in case Yang Xiu makes a little effort to let the Shu soldiers who stayed in Ningzhou plunder, or simply withdraw the army back to Shu in the name of changing defenses, then the Fu brothers may not think crookedly." This time, Shi Wansui and Zhou Fashang sent troops to quell the rebellion almost at the same time, Zhou Fashang defeated Li Guangshi cleanly, and beheaded him in less than a month, and did not even leave Wang Shiji time to grab military merits. ”

An Suiyu's eyes fluttered, and he asked, "What about you, what will happen to Shi Wansui's affairs on you?" Now that the court's decision has not been made, what kind of reward will Gao Xi give you? ”

Wang Shichong sat up suddenly, this is also something he has been thinking about carefully in the past few days, after a deep sigh, he said: "If Gao Servant Shot looks for me privately before officially announcing his decision, it means that I will either be unlucky, or I will hand over good luck and will be reused, if he doesn't come to me in the past two days, just let me go to the court to listen to the seal with other Southern Expeditionary generals according to the regulations, then at most the official will be promoted to half a level and transferred, or the martial arts will be promoted to Shangyitong, and then reward some silk silk and the like, that is, a reward that is better than nothing." ”

An Suiyu was about to speak, but he heard a noise at the stairs, quickly closed his mouth, stood up, and Zhang Jincheng's figure appeared with his loud voice: "Dongjia, the high servant is invited!" (To be continued......)
