Chapter 59 The unwilling Ji brothers
Night is falling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the banks of Shiozawa, large bonfires burned, and from time to time the smell of strange medicine wafted out of the lit fire.
The flames dispelled the dampness of the lake, but the scent of the medicine kept the last of the frenzied snakes and insects of autumn far away, and even the night falcons and giant bats that often appeared in the night sky did not want to come closer.
Although there was a conflict between the Cheng team led by Su Kuo and Yanghu's side during the day, Yanghu generously sent roasted mutton and a jar of rice wine to Zhongcheng Tuo's side under the guidance of the bundle case, so the two teams, which were still a little rusty, quickly got together.
In contrast to the lively atmosphere on the side of Shiozawa is the silence in the Kishi fiefdom.
Painstakingly remediated a large table full of mountain treasures and river freshness, thinking that he could please the nephew of the city lord but only got Su Kuo's improvisation, which made Ji Dan quite disappointed.
What made his heart even heavier was the news he got from Su Kuo during the banquet that the two convoys had come to deliver food to the Qing family.
It was almost half of the night, and Ji Dan and Ji Sheng were still pale, sitting silently.
In the end, Ji Dan couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "After months of hard work and all kinds of plans, but in the end, many servants were defeated again and again!"
It took so much effort to burn the Qing's grain farm, this is good, the Ye family and the Cheng family each sent two hundred stone corn, which is 40,000 catties, not to mention, Dr. Cheng even played the monarch to cancel the Qing's public endowment this year, and it was nearly 40,000 catties of corn!
In this way, the Qing family is equivalent to an extra 80,000 catties of corn, and the amount of corn that can be harvested in his own 70% 210 square well field is just this number!
Earlier, we spread the news that the Qing family had no food, and now everyone knows that you and I are involved, and we can't do it anymore! ”
Jidan gritted his teeth and hated when he said this: "But I'm really unwilling!" Qing's children actually have such good luck.
After all, nothing will be achieved after all you and I have spent so much effort, what if Dr. Fei blames him at that time? ”
The Ji brothers knew in their hearts that even if the Qing family had Dr. Ye to support them, they were not afraid, and there was still Dr. Fei behind their own family.
What's more, Dr. Fei has a lot of connections with Shangqing Qi's family, and Dr. Ye is just a grassroots nobleman who has been down-and-out for decades and has been rewarded by the monarch again for his military exploits.
Doctor Ye and Doctor Fei have been fighting with each other for more than ten years, even if the big and small lords of Beilin City are unwilling to take refuge in Doctor Fei, they will definitely not go against Doctor Fei.
In this way, there are already more allies than Dr. Ye, and Dr. Fei naturally has an absolute advantage.
However, after Doctor Cheng also began to support the Qing clan with a clear attitude, those ordinary lords who were originally afraid of Doctor Fei naturally knew who to stand on, and sometimes the doctor who served as the lord of the city represented the will of the monarch.
In previous years, Xing Guo was not without disasters and had to beg the monarch to reduce or slow down the payment of public contributions, but at most half of the public taxes could be reduced, and even the part of the reduction was only suspended, and it must be made up within two or three years.
Now Dr. Cheng not only personally took out 200 stone of newly harvested corn to support the Qing family, but also prepared to make an exception to reduce all the public grain of the Qing family this year, which is obviously a warning to Dr. Fei and shows his strong support for the Qing family!
The Ji brothers understand this, but all this is not an excuse for Dr. Fei, and Dr. Fei has never been a good talker!
Ji Dan was really scared, and the two of them were speechless for a long time after venting.
If there was only the convoy of Dr. Ye's family on the bank of Yanze now, Ji Dan would dare to go out and play the role of a wild thief in person, and lead people to attack and burn the Ye convoy at night, but now that there is an extra team of doctors, he would not dare to do this no matter what.
In the dim room, only the beast oil lamp flickered on Ji Sheng's gloomy face, which looked hideous, and also added a strange atmosphere, making Ji Dan feel that this cousin was a little strange.
"Good luck Qing's children, no matter what, you and I can't make another move! Now that Dr. Lian Cheng has unexpectedly expressed his support for the Qing family, if we continue to shoot without knowing whether to live or die, it will only be a dead end! ”
As soon as Ji Sheng spoke, his hoarse voice made Ji Dan's heart tremble.
Then Ji Sheng Yin sneered, "It's just that how can this matter be ended so easily?" The few dead soldiers killed by the Qing clan were not from a simple wild settlement! Have you ever heard of the Witch Ministry? ”
Ji Dan couldn't help but sit up straight and said in surprise: "Could it be that the ghost and witch tribe who lives in Lishuize, five hundred miles east of Beilin City?" Could it be that the eight dead soldiers were recruited from this wild settlement? I heard that the dead soldiers in this department should be very strong! ”
The implication, of course, is that the dead soldiers recruited by Ji Sheng are too weak.
Ji Sheng ignored the sarcasm in Ji Dan's tone, and smiled slightly: "Naturally, it's the Ghost Witch Department!" But it's a member of the Red Oni Department who is a vassal of the Ghost Witch Department!
Dr. Fei only has so much money left, where can he hire a master at the price? I just want this group of people to be killed by the Qing Clan!
It's nothing if the people of the Red Ghost Department die, but this wild people have a custom that they can't tolerate the corpses of the tribe being abused, we just need to reveal some news about the Qing clan in private, which will inevitably lead to their revenge, and the Qing clan child will definitely die in less than a month, and we can naturally give an explanation to Dr. Fei! ”
For the first time, Jidan discovered that his brother, who had always shown himself rough, had such a delicate and cunning side.
I thought that hiring a wild dead assassin was already its limit, but I never thought that as early as when he hired the dead soldier of the Ghost and Witch Department, Ji Sheng had laid such a foreshadowing, and it seems that he may be careful in the future.
Thinking in his heart, he looked at Ji Sheng with some suspicion and said worriedly: "Brother, the monarchs of the past dynasties have strictly forbidden to privately associate with wild people's settlements, especially the Ghost Witch Department has raided the fiefdoms of many lords in Northern Xinjiang, in case the monarch learns that you and I have contacted the Ghost Witch Department, I am afraid it will ・・・・・・."
"Afraid of what? Qing's matter can't be completed, aren't you afraid of Dr. Fei's reproach? We just need to send henchmen and servants to hire people to contact the Red Ghost Department privately, even if we are found out and don't admit it, what can we do, the monarch will not punish you and me without evidence! ”
Ji Sheng said confidently, "As long as you provoke a fight between the Red Ghost Department and the Qing Clan, even if the Qing Clan has a dragon sparrow to severely damage the Red Ghost Ministry, there will also be a Ghost Witch Department to avenge the vassals, and it is said that the Ghost Witch Department also enshrines several powerful beasts!" It would be better if it was a defeat with the Qing family! ”
Ji Dan's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Brother, don't you want to come to a yellow finch behind?" But you and I are alone, how can we deal with the masters of the Ghost and Witch Department? ”
"How can you let go of such a great opportunity? At the beginning, the Ghost Witch Department attacked many lords to seal the land and killed three scholars, if it weren't for the complex terrain of Lishuize, it would have been exterminated by the monarch a long time ago, and now the war in the north is too dangerous, but it is better to get military merit from this Ghost Witch Department! ”
Ji Sheng was a little disdainful in his heart, but this matter had to be done by Ji Dan, and he continued to patiently explain: "You and I will first attract the Red Ghost Department to take revenge on the Qing clan and expand the conflict.
When the Qing clan and the Ghost Witch Department fought, they secretly contacted Fei Dafu to arrange an ambush in advance, and if necessary, they could also report to Dr. Cheng that there were wild settlements attacking the lord's fiefdom and asking for reinforcements.
The Qing family's children's fiefdom is extremely empty, and there must be omissions in the desperate battle between the dragon and the ghost and witch department alone, let's wait for the Qing family to kill the ghost and witch department together, and kill it all, not to mention, you can also get a lot of military merits, so isn't it a plan to kill three birds with one stone? ・・・・・・”
Ji Dan's face suddenly showed joy: "Brother is really talented!" By the way, I see that this Su Kuo, as the nephew of Dr. Cheng, behaves frivolously and dissolutely, and seems to be extremely dissatisfied with this trip to the Qing clan's fiefdom, so it is better to take a move from him in advance.
This person is extremely greedy, and he will inevitably be willing to lead the army to fight for the sake of military merit, and when the time comes, not only can he have one more helper, but he can also fight to the death with the Ghost and Witch Department at a critical moment, and by the way, he can also weaken the force under the command of Dr. Fei! ”
"That's a great thing!" Ji Sheng also has a new understanding of his younger brother, it seems that the two sides are not so simple, the first time the two brothers seem so harmonious after inheriting the title.
In the night, the two brothers with evil intentions began the next step of the plan, and from time to time they looked at each other and let out a burst of laughter.
Ji Shu, a young man passing by in the distance, heard the happy laughter of his father and uncle, and couldn't help but sigh, after all, blood is thicker than water, and his father and uncle have finally untied the mustard of the past.
