It is not easy to refuse the invitation of such a foreign beauty with a background, as soon as Zhao Guanhou expressed his hesitation, Hannah showed a very aggrieved look. Considering that if she was unhappy, Bassens would be unhappy, and then he would be unlucky, so Zhao Guanhou had to agree first.

For the rest of the march, Hannah was like a flying butterfly, flying next to her father and Zhao Guanhou for the rest of the march. The son of the Marquis of Liman's family wanted to come over to talk to Hannah several times, but was pushed back by Hannah's cold face, and then saw her go to Zhao Guanhou with a smile on her face.

The impulsive Li Man almost wanted to propose a duel to Zhao Guanhou, but soon someone told him that this Jin Guoren had killed nearly twenty people alone, and after Li Man heard it, he never mentioned the duel again. When the army came to Xinnong Town, Bassens took his daughter back to his residence, and Yin Sheng took Zhao Guanhou to meet Yuan Weiting.

When he saw Yuan Weiting again, his attitude was much more cordial than last time, wearing an azure robe and a horse coat, dressed at home. Called Zhao Guanhou to his side to take a closer look, and asked with concern: "I heard that you were injured, I don't know how the injury is, have you used medicine?" I have a medical bureau in the new army, and I have good medicine for knife and gunshot wounds. ”

"Thank you for your care, although I was hit by the two swords of the thieves, fortunately there is no major problem, and I used some gold medicine in the army on the road, and there is no major problem."

Yuan Weiting nodded with a smile, and there was a sense of praise in his eyes, "With the power of one person, it is strange to kill the enemy twenty times, if this is in the Hongyang Rebellion, with this martial courage alone, with a knife and a gun, it is not impossible to fight for the position of commander." In the former, you have made great contributions to the thief, and the official is thinking about how to give you a reward, but I don't want to have this credit again this time, you can be regarded as a combination of two merits this time. Next, it's time for the big case to be bailed. I would like to ask first, what traces did those thieves leave behind, and did they say where they came from? ”

"No, I didn't. Their tone is very tight, and the villain enters the tiger's den, just seeking to find out the inside story. But they still refused to tell the truth, and there were many ambiguities in their words, except that one of them had a southern accent. The others only know about their plot to assassinate, and the rest is not very good. ”

"It's the thief you beheaded, right? The identity of that person, the official has already sent someone to check, and it is already very good to be able to do this. Yuan Weiting patted Zhao Guanhou on the shoulder

"Take care of your injuries, you don't have to go back to the Martial Arts Academy. Going to the academy to study is always just to get a future, but you are even willing to let people go to Fusang to study abroad, why do you care about the identity of a school. Your skills are very good, and the officer wants to keep you by his side, be a horse army sentry officer, and protect you with a general future, are you willing? ”

Even if the students who officially graduated from the military academy, after the new army took over, they mostly started as the head of the shed (squad leader). Zhao Guanhou has a white body and jumps into a sentry officer, which can be regarded as a step to the sky. The total seven-rank martial arts, although there are now many military achievements, and even there are countless named commanders, but he was still a gangster more than a month ago, and now he already has a seven-rank future, which can also be regarded as a step to the sky.

Moreover, he, the horse military outpost, stayed by Yuan Weiting's side, that is, his guard unit, such a position was crucial, and he could not be granted it unless he was a cronie. As long as the main general is perfunctory, what is the benefit, and he will definitely not miss the share of the leader of the pro-soldiers around him.

For example, Goshha beside Liu Yiqian, the governor of Liangjiang, some of them have three grades, and many people would rather be demoted than act as guards by the side of the main general. Not to mention anything else, as a personal follower, you can see the main general every day, and finding the opportunity to say a word can often determine the promotion and disgrace of a foreign official. Relying solely on the filial piety of foreign officials, there are thousands of handfuls of silver that can be put into the account every year.

More importantly, under normal circumstances, the Guards cavalry company does not need to be put into the battlefield as consumables. As far as war is concerned, I am afraid that there are few positions that can be safer than staying by the side of the main general. Zhao Guanhou hurriedly said: "Everything about the villain is cultivated by adults. ”

"You're welcome. Qingdi is my mentor, the tenth master is the queen of Qingdi, and you are a friend of the tenth master. Everyone is their own people, and they must be closer and closer in the future, so you go to the back to rest, and when you recover from your injuries, you will officially go through the formalities and give you a make-up name and receive a salary. ”

When Zhao Guanhou went down, Yuan Weiting invited Xu Juren over, "Fifth Brother Bu, we are so dangerous this time, if those are shocked, I am afraid that you and I will be implicated." Have you figured out the number of those people? ”

"If the investigation is not bad, they should all be strong scholars, and the one who was beheaded should be Bi Yongnian's younger brother Bi Yongchun. I heard that his subordinates have some skills, and he is a very famous figure in Sanxiang. ”

"Strong Society...... These people are really harmful. Zhao Guanhou finally did a good deed and killed them all, if he came back alive, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to end. ”

Xu Juren knew that when Yuan Weiting was in Beijing before, he also donated 500 taels to the Qiang Society because of fashion or speculation, and he was among them. Although there was very little contact between the two later, he finally had his name in the Strong Society. If the assassination of the Empress Dowager really happens this time, the Empress Dowager Cixi will not come to the small station to parade the troops no matter what, and even Yuan Weiting's military power will definitely be cut.

"Exactly, this time it was really dangerous, but it was also extremely hateful. With so many chaotic parties coming over, it is impossible for them to be completely silent in advance. Just talking about the fire that started the bandits' nest, I think it's very suspicious. ”

"In the martial arts academy, there must be a strong society to respond!" Yuan Weiting's face was still very kind, as if he was talking gossip that had nothing to do with him. "I think the people of the Pang family have nothing to do with this matter. Once the Queen Mother ascends, Banzai can actually be pro-government, I think, Banzai has been looking forward to this day for a long time. The route map of the Queen Mother's travel is difficult for ordinary people to know, and it cannot be obtained unless there are important people in the Beijing Division. Didn't the uncle of the Pang family happen to be on an errand in the palace? ”

"What do you mean, Rong'an?"

"We still can't act rashly now, otherwise once we make a big fuss, the Queen Mother's observation of the exercise will inevitably slow down, and all the preparations we have made will be in vain. This matter should not be urgent, leave personal favors, and there will be a way out in the future. ”

Xu Ju knows in his heart that the Queen Mother is high in spring and autumn, but Long Live is in the prime of life, no matter how you look at it, it is also the Queen Mother who will die in front of the emperor. Although he can't let the queen mother be assassinated on his own territory, he can't offend the emperor too hard, Yuan Weiting is ready to bet at both ends and sell at the price.

"Rong An, Zhao Guanhou, what do you think should be done?"

"This person is a talent, a figure with more than 20 thieves in his hands, and he is very rare in our military camp. Judging from the current situation, he doesn't look like the eyes and ears sent by the elder, otherwise it would be too ostentatious. It's not the eyes and ears, it's the talent, I have to reuse it. Since I want to use him, I must first subdue him, show him grace today, and then give him power tomorrow, and increase grace and power at the same time, this person will be my brachial cadre one day! ”

Zhao Guanhou's injury was not important, and in the evening of the same day, a close entourage of Yuan Weiting came to visit him. This person is slightly older than Zhao Guanhou, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and there is always a shy look in his demeanor, like a shy girl. Zhao Guanhou is well-informed, and at a glance, he knows that this is most likely a singer in a drama troupe.

The excellent actors of Dajin Country were originally men, but after the Hongyang Rebellion, there were female roles and actresses' troupes, also known as fashionable operas. But even in theater troupes with actresses, men are used to respond to the palace. Yuan Weiting has never heard of Youmeng's clothes, but he uses such a person as a personal companion around him, and most of them are Deng Tong-like characters. Although Yuan Weiting is not even a talent, if he is dedicated to learning and learning from that Hanlin style, it is also reasonable.

Zhao Guanhou didn't dare to slack off on these people, so he hurriedly gave a salute and handed over the remaining silver tickets on his body. When the man saw the silver ticket, he also had a smile on his face, twisted and pushed a few times, and finally winked at the goldfish and threw a wink, "My brother, make such a play, but let the family, how can it be good." "The action style is like playing Xiao Dan on the stage.

Zhao Guanhou accompanied a smile, "I'm really embarrassed, I don't have much on me, so I made you laugh." Let's make up for it later, and when I go home and take the silver, I will definitely make up a gift for you. Haven't asked my brother's surname yet? ”

"That's what I said, but I don't have a relationship." The person who came crossed his hands on his waist and made a posture of Xiao Dan on the stage who was angry and coquettish, which was actually a little charming.

"Let's meet and fall in love, and we will meet in the future, and we will inevitably work together, but we don't want you to have this bit of silver. If I had to raise the money, I wouldn't have come in the future. Let me tell you, I don't dare to bear your noble character, the cheap surname is Tang, the name is Tianxi, but a personal entourage beside Lord Yuan. Today, I have sent you a message on the orders of the adults, so that you can wear it early tomorrow morning, but don't miss it. ”

As he spoke, he put on a set of official uniforms, put them on the breakfast table, stepped forward again, and whispered: "Although we are the first time we have met, but when I see you, you lose your temper, and you are also a sensible person, so I will give you an explanation." We adults have a problem, before employing people, they must be both graceful and powerful, so that you love and fear him. I have said good things to you today, and tomorrow in the big tent, I will be righteous, blowing your beard and glaring, but you must not be afraid, but do not care. The size of this, you have to take care of it yourself, and I will say it for you in front of the adults, and you won't be at a loss. My lord also has a question for you, the strategy for the military parade was you came up with, right? Why don't you say it yourself, and instead name Lord Bassens? This strategy is secretly in line with the Western military formation, and I don't know, where did you get it? ”

"That's just a little idea that the villain generated when he read the Western drill canon, which can only be regarded as paper talk, and he doesn't dare to say it without practice. In addition, time is tight, and the practice may not be in time, and it would be too reckless for me to fold it myself. handed it over to Lord Bassen, hoping that Lord Bass could weigh it on his behalf, whether this thing should be handed over. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope that Brother Tang will say a thing or two on his behalf. ”

"We're good friends, and that's nothing. The adults weren't really angry, they just thought you were a little weird. It's so honest that when everyone is rushing to take credit, you push the credit outside. Tang Tianxi smiled charmingly again, and then left the barracks with a curling smile, and went to Yuan Weiting to recover his life.

Zhao Guanhou secretly said in his heart: Yuan Weiting is really a heroic character, and he must use power techniques to promote his subordinates, for fear that he will not be able to control people. To deal with such people, it is necessary to think of a safe idea. If he thinks he can't control it, I'm afraid the end will not be much better.

As soon as the next day dawned, he put on a rhinoceros supplement suit and a brass warm hat, and went to see the adults early.

Sure enough, today's Yuan Weiting and yesterday's judgment were like two people, and their attitude towards him was extremely harsh, and after he knelt down, he was scolded sharply. It is affirmed that the military camp is an important place, the law and discipline are strict, and those who violate the military law will not be spared. The terms and conditions of the military law in the army are recited like flowing water, and each one is murderous.

If it weren't for Tang Tianxi's ventilation yesterday, Zhao Guanhou would probably think that someone had said something bad about himself in front of Yuan Weiting and given him bad medicine, and he might still be nervous in his heart. Now that he knew the other party's intentions, he had to pretend to be panicked and deal with the scene.

And in the evening, Tang Tianxi came over again, and at the same time, he brought two hundred taels of silver tickets. Zhao Guanhou didn't accept the silver ticket, but only said that he gave it to Tang Tianxi, but he smiled and pinched an orchid finger in his hand

"I don't dare to ask for this money, take this, and the guy who eats will be gone. My lord has a word, this money is not a reward for you, but for you to buy a gift for Miss Bassenes. Since you have accepted someone's birthday invitation, you have to prepare decently, and don't lose the people of our new army. That Li Manyanei, relying on his uncle to be the consul general in Qingdao, had no one in his eyes, and he didn't look at how many catties he had. A consul general of Qingdao can still manage the head of Tianjin? You just have to rest assured to fight with him, if something happens, Lord Yuan will support you. ”

Then he said: "Adults are worried that you are thinking about your family, and since you are a soldier, you can't think about your wife and children at home. As an official, you can't bring your family, this is the rule. At most, if you are a little older, you will find a way to settle it. But don't worry, the adults have already sent someone to say hello to the Pang family, if anyone dares to disturb your family, our Lord Yuan will do him a battalion prevention management belt, which is a matter of one sentence. ”

Zhao Guanhou did not shirk this time, took the silver ticket, but secretly raised an evaluation of Yuan Weiting in his heart. With both heroic means and kindness and righteousness, in this era, it is indeed easy to pull up a team that is willing to die for itself. It seems that Dajin is training troops, and most of his men and horses are the first.

Tang Tianxi had just been gone for a short time, and three more big men came outside the door, all in their early twenties, not much older than Zhao Guanhou, and knelt down and kowtowed when they met.

waited until they were pulled up to talk, only to know that these three people were his subordinates, the heads of the three-shed horse team under the jurisdiction of the Ma Army. In the new army, the infantry has six sheds under its jurisdiction, and the horse army has three sheds, both of which are the same outposts, and the strength of the army is also less than that of the army, with only more than 20 people.

These three shedheads, each of whom has six soldiers, have very limited troops, and there is no room to eat. However, as the main general's personal soldiers, the equipment and ammunition are complete, the monthly double salary, and the horse gan are all two copies. Yuan Weiting is extremely generous to his subordinates, and has a lot of daily rewards, plus door bags and other items, which is a great fat shortage.

Those who can do it in person with the Lord have a way, but if they only do it, they know that the way is very ordinary. Among these three people, the one named Huo Qiu is Yuan Weiting's little fellow villager, and the other two, one is named Yuan Baoshan and the other is Yuan Baohe, who is a member of Yuan Weiting's clan. But the relationship is relatively weak, and it can't be promoted, but they are a little afraid of Zhao Guanhou.

After all, this is a person who can talk to foreigners, and the world of the Dajin Dynasty is the world where foreigners have the final say, so they can't be afraid.

The three of them scraped together a total of more than two hundred taels of silver, sent them all to Zhao Guanhou, and said, "The sentry is ready to reward people." When the entertainment left them and checked the silver tickets, Zhao Guanhou felt that this was also a very interesting thing to be an official.

Being a military attache is different from a civilian official, in the final analysis, it is just two things, killing people and collecting money. It seems to be no different from the business he did in his previous life. So why can't you do it? Of course, when you meet someone who is older than yourself, you still have to send money, and even people like Tang Tianxi have to send money yourself.

If you want to achieve one day only in and out, then you can only strive to make your authority greater and not be controlled by others. Moreover, even if it is to avoid being separated from his wife for a long time, he needs to work hard to climb up earlier, so that he can take his wife around for a long time.

It was on this night that Zhao Guanhou had a new goal: to let himself one day, be so big that he only accepts money and does not give money, and he can take his wife if he wants, and he will no longer have to be controlled by others.
