"The Divine Decree has arrived." Outside the gate of the Yizhou Governor's Mansion, a shrill voice pierced the sweltering weather and pierced straight into Yuanhang's ears. Although I had expected it, I still trembled in my heart.

In front of the mansion, Yuanhang saw that it was Wang Jin's father-in-law who issued the decree, so he nodded with a smile, and Wang Jin also smiled slightly.

"Chenyi Prefecture Zhizhou Ye Yuanhang received the order." Kneeling down with regularity, Yuanhang bowed his head.

"Decree: Today, Ye Yuanhang is the capital of the Northern Governor and the right to oversee the army. Choose a day to send troops to the north and collect my rivers and mountains. The seventh day of the fifth month of the second year of the Indian text. ”

"Commandment." got up to receive the holy decree, accompanied the voyage with a smile and welcomed Wang Jin into the mansion, and instructed his subordinates to prepare a banquet to catch him.

"Lord Ye, let's congratulate you first. The emperor uses the adults so much, you will definitely soar in the future, and don't forget our family when the time comes. Wang Jin smiled and patted Yuanhang's hand, saying that Yuanhang's heart was disgusted.

"Haha, that's nature. There is really a day, how dare you forget the good words of your father-in-law. Yuanhang said with a perfunctory smile.

"Father-in-law, do you know who is the commander of the troops this time?" Although Yuanhang has a bottom in his heart, he still asks.

"It is General Situ Hao as the marshal, and General Chen Pai as the deputy marshal." Wang Jin said with a bow.

"Chen plaque?" Yuanhang frowned, trying to think about this man.

Wang Jin leaned over and whispered, "It's the nephew of Gonggong Chen, the head of the Dynasty Hall." ”

"Oh, is it rootless?" Yuanhang blurted out, only to realize that he was talking to the eunuch. Hurriedly got up and apologized.

Wang Jin didn't say anything, waved his hand and said: "This court is going to quarrel for the position of marshal, alas! ”

Yuanhang clenched his fists and said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Wang Jin looked around, and Yuanhang waved his hand to let the maid retreat.

Wang Jin said: "Since the last time General Situ was defeated and wounded, rumors have spread in the court. It is said that General Situ is old and has no strength to fight. The bosses and generals who said it were all alive, as if they could replace them. Don't you know that the praying mantis flutters the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. That Gonggong Chen made a speech to select available talents, and called his nephew Chen Pai into the back hall. To say that this Chen plaque does have some ability, he defeated three generals in a row. still wants to try his skills with General Situ, but the emperor only heals from the general's injury. Wang Jin was tired, so he took a sip of tea. put it down and then said: "Gonggong Chen wants to make Chen Pai the marshal of this expedition to the north, except for the civil officials of Liang Sidu faction in the court, and the rest are mostly Chen Gonggong's head and horse, so they will speak together." Even though there were a few captains who attached themselves to General Situ, they were few and far between. After speaking, he picked up the tea and glanced at the voyage with his spare eyes.

Yuanhang heard the blood flowing backwards, thinking that his father-in-law was so wronged in the court, he couldn't help but clench his steel teeth and stand with his eyebrows.

Wang Jin put down the cup and said: "The emperor is still far-sighted, and although he is brave, he is young after all. The post of marshal is none other than General Situ. When Gonggong Chen saw that the emperor had decided, he fought for a deputy marshal for Chen Pai, and he must have wanted to experience it, but he was afraid of finding an opportunity...... "Speaking of this, Wang Jin stopped talking.

"Thank you for the announcement of the prince, the voyage to Japan will be rewarded." Yuanhang calmed his breath for a moment, got up and saluted and said.

"Your Excellency, you're welcome." After Wang Jin got up and saluted back, he continued: "Zhan Si envoy Jinyan asked your lord to supervise the army, and it was also a matter of great difficulties. ”

Yuanhang sneered and said, "It must be Chen Fu who is in the way." ”

Wang Jin nodded and said slowly: "The ministers said that you are a civil official, and you should not join the army, let alone exercise the right to supervise the army. It is still the emperor's strength to dispel public opinion, and he has this will despite the opposition of the ministers, and I hope that the adults will not live up to the emperor's love. ”

Yuanhang nodded, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "There is always a reincarnation in the world. ”

Accompanied Wang Jin to finish lunch, sent him to the post station to rest, and sent someone to invite Sun Ke to come.

"General Sun, the holy decree has arrived, and Xiaoliang will be sent in a few days, how are you preparing there?"

Sun Ke nodded and said, "It's all in place, there are a total of twenty siege ladders, two hundred short crossbows, and three hundred crossbowmen." ”

"It's still a short time, and it's a lot of that." Yuanhang groaned, tapping his fingers on the table, his mind spinning.

"My lord, this time to send troops, Yizhou must not empty the city. The last general is ready to let the Qin Dynasty defend the city, leaving 10,000 horses, is it okay? Sun Ke leaned over and asked.

"Well, I'm thinking about it too. Only the Qin Dynasty could take on this task. Yuanhang nodded.

Sun Ke got up and said, "Since the adults agree, then I will go back and prepare." ”

Yuanhang got up to see him off, and instructed: "Don't tell others yet, just say that you can arm normally." ”

Out of the mansion gate, the voyage turned to the right, and walked towards the dart board alone.

The dart game was full of people, and the dark spirits were used to this kind of life, and they were busy with themselves in an orderly manner. Dao Zi sat at the stone table under the tree in the courtyard, holding a pig's trotter in his right hand and gnawing on it with a mouthful of oil. He didn't even notice that Yuanhang came over and sat beside him.

"Is it delicious?" Yuanhang asked with a smile.

"Ah, sir." Dao Zi bit the pig's trotter and turned his head to see that it was a long voyage, and hurriedly put the pig's trotter behind him and stood up.

"You eat yours, are you there?" Sail away and look into the house.

"In, in. No shadow, the adults are coming. Dao Zi hurriedly swallowed the meat in his mouth, turned around and shouted.

When Wuying heard this, he hurried to the courtyard and saluted the voyage. said: "The sun is poisonous in the afternoon, how can the adults come here at this time." ”

Yuan Hang smiled, pointed to the stone bench and said to them, "Sit down." ”

The two sat down, sailed away to see the many dart cars in the courtyard, and said, "Have you ever gone to Xiaoliang's side recently?" ”

Wuying thought for a while and said, "Yes, there is one who went to Guzhou." ”

Yuanhang nodded and said, "Take this dart back, and say that the dart master is not manpowered, and he will send it again at a later date." ”

The two looked at Yuanhang in surprise, stammered purple, and asked, "Why...... Why? ”

Yuanhang leaned forward and whispered, "There will be a war with Xiaoliang in the near future." ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and Wuying nodded and said, "My subordinates understand, and I will go back to this dart later." ”

"Ah, isn't Kim here?" Yuanhang asked, looking around.

"He went to Huaining with the dart, count the days, and he should be back in the evening." Shadowless replied.

"Okay, don't dart in the near future, wait for me to call you at any time." Yuanhang patted Dao Zi on the shoulder and stood up, and Dao Zi nodded in response.

Suddenly remembering something, Yuanhang sat down again and asked Xiang Wuying: "Wang Jin, do you know?" ”

Wuying thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I only know that he was in power for a while, and then Chen Fu promoted Gonggong Ye, so it seems that he will not be reused." ”

Yuanhang asked again: "You are all in the light, but now you are in the dark spirits, can you get in touch?" ”

"I can't contact him, only the exhibition envoy can contact him." Shadowless replied.

"I know, let's do this first, I'll go home first." Yuanhang didn't ask anything more, got up and walked out.

"Father-in-law, why are you so respectful to him, it's just a magistrate who can't enter the mansion." A confidant beside Wang Jin handed over a cup of tea.

"You know what." Wang Jin took the teacup and said, "His father-in-law is Situ Hao. The emperor used him so much, and Gonggong Chen asked me to get close to him, which shows that this person is extraordinary. ”

"Father-in-law, I heard that Father-in-law Chen has secretly put a lot of effort into it, and the black armor has already recruited many masters, I don't know if it's true?" The henchman said.

"Where did you know?" Wang Jin put down the cup and asked sharply.

"Father-in-law's anger, you asked me to pay attention to it, the little one had drunk with Gonggong Ye's henchmen, and that guy unintentionally leaked it when he was drunk." The henchman hurriedly bowed and replied.

Wang Jin stared at him for a while and said, "Don't talk about it casually in the future, lest you don't know how to die." ”

"Yes, the little one is wrong." The henchman replied in a trembling voice.

"But this is true, Chen Fu couldn't get the dark spirit, so he secretly organized the black armor, hmph, his heart should not be underestimated."

Wang Jin got up and stood by the window, looked out the window and said to himself: "Chen Fu can't tolerate me, I also need to find a way back for myself, but I don't know if it will be him." ”

In the back hall, a young man flashed into a room. Chen Fuzheng stood in the middle of the room with his hands behind his back, looking up at the "Picture of Shooting a Tiger in the Distant Mountains" hanging on the wall. Gonggong Ye stood behind him.

"Uncle, nephew is here." This person was Chen Pai, who stepped forward and bowed down and spoke.

"Hmm." Chen Fu answered and did not speak again. Chen Pai peeked at Ye Gonggong, and lowered his head again.

The room was silent, and Chen Pai didn't know why his uncle let him come here, but he knew that his glory and wealth depended on the guidance of this uncle.

"Plaque, come and see this painting." Chen Fu still didn't look back, staring at the painting and said.

Chen Pai stepped forward, looked at it for a long time and didn't understand what it meant, bowed down and said, "My nephew is stupid, and I ask my uncle for advice." ”

Chen Fu glanced sideways at Chen Pai, turned his head to look at the painting and said, "The tiger is a fierce beast and is good at hurting people. Hiding in the forest and waiting for it, it needs to be removed as soon as possible. If you enter the mountain, you can't get rid of it. ”

Ye Gonggong had a gloomy face next to him and said, "Ye Yuanhang, the governor of Yizhou, has been disrespectful to adults several times. It's a drop in the mulberry field, and it's not worth mentioning. Who knew that it had been smooth sailing recently, and this time the Holy Lord's Northern Expedition was actually reused for him. If you don't get rid of it, I'm afraid it's really a problem to raise tigers. ”

Chen Pai understood what his uncle meant.

"Plaque, this time, as a deputy marshal, you must make meritorious contributions, so that you can gain a fundamental foothold in the DPRK. I have four black armors, and this time I will go with you as personal soldiers, first, to protect you, and second, to find an opportunity to get rid of this tiger for my uncle. ”

Chen Pai clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will definitely take the lead and fight bravely to kill the enemy." This kind of praying mantis blocking the car, the nephew is sure to be swept away by the uncle. ”

Chen Fu shook his head and said with a smile: "Silly boy, since you are the deputy marshal, why work hard." Victory can be shared, and defeat will be borne by Situ Hao. Just get rid of the man. ”

Chen Pai hurriedly nodded yes.

Chen Fu turned around and raised his head, looked at the painting and snorted coldly, and said to himself: "The sick cat has become a tiger, I really underestimate you." ”
