On this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and there was warmth everywhere, Yue Shao'an was lying flat on the roof, with one hand pillow behind his head, holding a wine gourd in his hand, facing the sky on his back, the sun was shining on his face, he half-squinted his eyes, as if he was asleep, but his mind flashed the scenes that had happened before, and he couldn't calm down in his heart.

"Little nephew, stop!" The voice of the little county lord came up from under the house: "Come on, where did Yue Shao'an go?" ”

"I know there, county lord, where did Brother Yue go, I have to ask yourself, don't you pestering you every day...... Belch...... Don't ......" Zhu Chongyi said, seeing the little county lord's face change slightly, he hurriedly changed his words: "Don't you accompany him every day?" ”

After that, Zhu Chongyi wiped his sweat and added: "Oh, by the way, I'm not a little nephew." Can you stop ......"

"It's against you." Without waiting for Zhu Chong to finish speaking, the little county lord crossed his hands on his waist and strode towards him: "What county lord, call aunt ......"

"Poof-" Zhu Chongyi almost didn't vomit blood on the spot, the little county lord has been in Song Shicheng for more than a month, and he is already familiar with many people, especially with Zhu Chongyi, perhaps because of the same age, the two are becoming more and more familiar: "Please, I have already changed my name to Brother Yue, and it is not sensible to call Uncle at that time, don't you hold on to this?" Besides, aren't you and Brother Yue still married? ”

"What if you don't get married?" The little county lord seemed to have been caught in the underbelly, and his face gradually sank: "I have a marriage contract with him between the emperor and my uncle, and it is not a matter of time before we get married!" ”

"Okay, good ......" Zhu Chongyi was helpless, and was entangled by her, so he had to compromise: "Is that called sister-in-law?" ”

"No—"

“……”

On the roof, Yue Shaoan listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Little girl, don't bother Xiaozhong, he still has something to do, what are you looking for me?" ”

Yue Shaoan said, jumped down from the roof, looked at Zhu Chongyi and asked, "Xiaozhong, are all the people here?" ”

"I'll be waiting for you." Zhu Chong.

"Hmm!" Yue Shaoan nodded: "You go first, and I'll arrive later." As he spoke, he waved his hand at Zhu Chongyi and motioned for him to go first.

Zhu Chong said hello to Yue Shao'an as if he had been amnesty, and he disappeared without a trace, but now that Yue Shao'an has appeared, the little county lord has lost interest in him, and it doesn't matter if he leaves or not.

After Zhu Chongyi left, Yue Shao'an walked towards the house, and the little county lord followed behind him, and said angrily: "Yue Shao'an, you stop." ”

"Okay, don't mess around, I have something to deal with now, what's the matter, I'll talk about it later." Yue Shao'an raised the back of his hand, and walked inside without looking back.

"Yue Shao'an, you villain-" The little county lord angrily lifted a vase from the side and wanted to smash it, but he couldn't give up, so he had to put it back again, she stomped her foot fiercely, gritted her teeth and chased in the direction where Yue Shao'an left.

She chased to the conference hall, and there were many people inside, Wen Chengfang, Niu Qing, Zhuo Yan, Zhang Heng, Niu Ren...... Almost all of Yue Shaoan's henchmen are here. Seeing that Yue Shaoan was really dealing with business, her annoyance eased slightly, and she muttered in a low voice: "Count you not lying!" Immediately, he quietly withdrew.

In the council hall, Yue Shao'an sat in the center, listening to Zhuo Yan's report with a solemn face, after listening, he frowned slightly, and asked, "Are the existing officials in the city already ours?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhuo Yan nodded: "If you can buy it, you can buy it, and if you can't buy it, you will find a reason to remove yourself from your post or kill it." Anyway, most of them were officials during the reign of King Liang, and even if they were killed, the court would not blame them. ”

Yue Shaoan nodded approvingly, he never minded using some blood and bribery for these political/political methods, because these things can never be eliminated here.

"The imperial court is definitely not worried about these officials, and some people in important positions will definitely send people here." Yue Shao'an said with a solemn face: "Zhuo Yan, you should keep an eye on these people." ”

"Yes!" Zhuo Yan agreed expressionlessly. Since Zhuo Yan took over these things, he was originally a taciturn character, but now he is even more talkative, often dressed in black, which makes his whole person look a little cold.

After explaining to Zhuo Yan, Yue Shaoan turned his gaze to Wen Chengfang again: "Chengfang, how is the deployment of the city now?" ”

"According to your orders, the height and thickness of the city have been increased, and the moat has been deepened and widened, and there is no problem with the fortifications, and now that the weather has warmed, the construction is just right." Wen Chengfang said: "It's just that there is a shortage of funds now." ”

"It's good to find Zhuo Yan without funds!" Yue Shaoan said lightly: "Intensify the fortifications, maybe in the near future, there will be a war with the Jin Kingdom, when the time comes, as soon as we leave, the matter here will be difficult to handle!" ”

"Hmm!" Wen Chengfang said: "I understand, it's just, what if the imperial court suspects that we have opposing intentions?" After all, this used to be the city of King Liang, and now it is ......"

"It doesn't matter." Yue Shaoan waved his hand and said: "At least for now, the emperor will not suspect anything, I don't have anything to do with power, he knows this, I won't hide it from you, the reason why I want to do this is just to leave a way back for my own people." ”

"Back?" Everyone was a little puzzled.

"It's not hard to understand." Yue Shao'an said: "The so-called companion is like a tiger, the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks, and the bird hides the bow, there are too many such examples since ancient times, this city is just a ...... to stay just in case."

The people here are all smart people, and Yue Shao'an's words have already reached this point, so they naturally understand what he means, but in the face of this kind of thing, they are not the same as Yue Shao'an, a person who has no fear of imperial power since he was a child, and naturally he didn't dare to explain his words, but just nodded silently to show that he understood.

"Xiao Zhong." Yue Shaoan called Zhu Chongyi to his side again: "For those firearms I asked you to make, you design the drawings as soon as possible, and arrange for the craftsmen to start work as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!" Zhu Chongyi agreed: "Brother Yue, don't worry, it's basically almost the same, but there are one or two things that you said are too powerful, but it's not easy to figure out, but give me some more time, and I will definitely do it." ”

"Hmm!" Yue Shaoan smiled slightly: "That's fine!" ”

After talking about the things that needed to be done urgently in the city now, the other topics were much easier, and the report on Liu Bonan's battle in the north had also been passed here.

Next, everyone was talking about topics related to the battle situation, and when he heard that Zhang Xianrang was already at the end of his crossbow and could not support it for long under Liu Bonan's strong attack, Yue Shaoan did not feel any surprise.

He has never doubted Liu Bonan's ability, but there is one point, he is a little worried, Zhang Xianrang colluded with the Jin people, and now the form is so tense, will the Jin Congress give Zhang Xianrang this piece of fat to the Great Song Dynasty?

If this development continues, Zhang Xianrang will inevitably be broken, and now the day when Liu Bonan will break the city is not far away, but the Jin Kingdom has not moved, which is really a little suspicious.

But Yue Shaoan believes that Jin Guo will definitely not sit idly by, and it is only a matter of time before they make a move, maybe the reason why Jin people are still waiting and seeing now is just because, they don't know how much strength Zhang Xianrang has in his hands, they just want to use this opportunity to let him turn over all his hole cards, so that Jin Guo will be easier to control him in the future.

In fact, this is also the case, Zhang Xianrang only has 60,000 horses in name, but since the start of the war, nearly 100,000 people have been mobilized.

It seems that Zhang Xianrang was not idle when he was the prime minister, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Xianrang, who seems to have been at the end of his crossbow, has been struggling to survive until today, and has not been able to break through.

Regarding Liu Bonan's crusade against Zhang Xianrang is war, everyone expressed their opinions, Niu Qing was still loud, and was the first to say: "Mr. Yue, in my opinion, Zhang Xianrang's demise is only a matter of time. He is not good at leading troops, and he has no generals in his hands who can compete with General Liu, so there is really nothing to worry about. ”

"You can't say that." Wen Chengfang said: "General Liu Wen Taowu is naturally powerful, but don't forget, behind Zhang Xianrang, there are still Jin people eyeing him. The ambition of the golden man and the wolf, who doesn't know, will they just watch Jingshi be taken back by my Great Song again, and be indifferent? ”

"However, until now, the Jin people have not moved, which shows that they are not optimistic about Zhang Xianrang ......"

"Definitely...... The Jin people don't move, naturally they have a reason not to move, isn't Zhang Xianrang still in a stalemate now? That doesn't say anything about ......"

"Then tell me why they didn't move?"

"There are many possibilities ...... this"

Listening to everyone's opinions, Yue Shaoan raised his hand and pressed it weakly, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said softly: "It's a matter of time before the Jin people send troops, this point, no need to fight anymore, what we have to do now is to do everything that Xuancheng should do before the Jin people send troops." ”

"Handsome! When do you think Kim will send troops? ”

"That's not good." Yue Shao'an shook his head and grabbed the edge: "However, I think, if it is fast, it should be in the month of Yu, once the Jin Kingdom sends troops, when the time comes, we will inevitably go north, so there is not much time left for us." ”

Everyone was silent, what Yue Shao'an was referring to in his words was naturally a matter of city defense, but it was indeed a little difficult to build a city in the rest of the month as Yue Shao'an requested.

Wen Cheng said with embarrassment: "Dashuai, according to what you said, then our time will be too broken, if we send more people to work day and night, I am afraid that it will alarm the imperial court and let some people take this opportunity to make a big fuss......

Yue Shao'an said with a straight face: "If someone wants to say it, just say it, it's nothing, Chengfang, as long as you pursue more beauty when you rebuild the city, I naturally have a rhetoric." ”

Wen Chengfang was stunned for a moment, then after thinking about it, he understood, and nodded heavily.
