Chapter 25: Untitled
On the path from Sangli Village to Pei County, there is a middle-aged man and a girl walking slowly, although the two are dressed plainly and even a little hard, but the momentum is extraordinary, although it is not eye-catching, but it makes people unconsciously rise a sense of respect.
The middle-aged man was only about forty years old, tall and large-faced, far-reaching and bright, with a fierce spirit all over his body, and he was full of a sense of justice at first glance.
At this time, I only heard the middle-aged man smile at the girl: "Apprentice, if you want to see Zhao Jun, go and meet him, if he doesn't agree with you to stay with us, I won't embarrass you, through my observation of him in the past few days, although the means are a little ruthless, but he is an upright man, I heard about your past, he is only a man with a sense of responsibility, and the master will be very relieved." ”
The girl was twenty-eight years old, wearing a curtain on her head and couldn't see her face clearly, she only felt that her temperament was slender and slender, and at this time she only heard her say a little sadly: "Master, I will not leave you, now it is very difficult for us to disagree with you internally, and the apprentice will never quit, saying that I, as the saintess of the Mo family, should contribute to the future of the Mo family." ”
"Is there some other reason why you don't want to see him?" The middle-aged man was very wise, and he knew at a glance the girl's expression that it was not because the girl was afraid that Zhao Jun would not agree with her staying in the Mo family.
The girl was stunned at this time, but did not continue to tell the truth, but chose to be silent.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man shook his head and smiled: "Hehe, since you don't want to say it, the master will not be reluctant, but the master advises you as a person who has come over, once you miss something, there will never be the possibility of starting again, since you hesitate and wander, it is a bold attempt, as long as you don't violate your own principles, even if you fail, it's nothing." ”
"Well, Master Xie, Rong Tu'er is thinking about it." The girl's voice could be heard in her inner struggle.
Nodding, the middle-aged man said again: "Your uncle has always advocated anti-Qin, and the casualties of our Mo family are very large, and there are countless dead people, and what he does is against the morality of the Mo family, so this time we must get the order before him, officially unify the power of the Mo family to eradicate the tumor, and finally give to the world in respect of the ancestors, although the Qin Dynasty is **, but now there is no war in the country, it is a good time for us to preach the morality of the Mo family among the people." ”
"Well, the apprentice knows, but master, can we not use force on him?" The girl suddenly said with some pleading.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Naturally, since you don't want to come forward, then you can only go to talk to him in person, but I also got the news that your uncle has been in frequent contact with people in Peixian County recently, and with his character, I am afraid that he will come to Zhao Jun. ”
"If they dare to come nonsense, they will definitely let them go and never return." The girl's originally weak tone suddenly became fierce.
There is a single-door courtyard in the Pei County Mansion, this courtyard is very spacious and luxurious, Xu Mansion invited Zhao Jun to live here in order to tie up Zhao Jun, and several people such as Li You also lived here, but the best room was given to Zhao Jun, and the other two hundred and fifty subordinates were also arranged in other wings of the county office, which was naturally in excellent condition, and no one dared to slack off.
After Zhao Jun settled down everyone, the first thing he thought of was to see Tang Li, it had been three years, and he didn't know if Tang Li was okay.
"Tuk Tuk" Zhao Jun came to the Tang Mansion alone and knocked on the door, the Tang Mansion was no different from three years ago, except that there were a few more small trees at the door.
"Who?" A familiar voice rang out, and the door opened.
"A-Jun?" A familiar figure walked out of the gate, and when he saw Zhao Jun, he was suddenly stunned.
Zhao Jun opened his mouth and smiled: "Uncle Tang, how have you been doing in recent years?" "When Tang Shi helped him escape, he always remembered this kindness, Tang Shi has not changed much compared to a few years ago, his figure is still very strong, but there are a few more wrinkles on his face.
"Okay, you're back, just come back." Tang Shi's face was full of joy, and then he said: "The head of the family has been talking about you from time to time in the past three years, I heard that you came back a few days ago, the head of the family was very happy, I wanted to see you, but I was afraid that you were busy with official business when you first came here, but I didn't expect you to come in person." ”
Zhao Jun was also very happy to see Tang Shi, and after hearing this, he said: "Whoever sees everyone is the same, hehe, but Uncle Tang, you can't call me Du Lieutenant, and call me Ah Jun the same as before, otherwise I will be really uncomfortable." ”
Uncle Tang shook his head and said: "This is not good, to be an official is to have the majesty of being an official, I can't help you now, but I can help you beat the side drum and erect majesty, so that we can be good when you become an official." ”
Zhao Jun smiled and shook his head helplessly, and finally Tang Shi hurriedly invited Zhao Jun in, a few years ago, Zhao Jun's limited eyesight could not see the depth of Tang Shi, but now he could perceive that Tang Shi should have the level of the Iron Eagle Sharps, but it was a little worse than the elites under him, after all, in the entire Great Qin, only his two hundred and fifty subordinates were the most elite.
All the way to the backyard of the Tang Mansion, Zhao Jun saw that Tang Li was practicing swordsmanship, and there were bamboo slips and wine glasses on the stone platform next to him, it seemed that Tang Li's life had been good in the past few years.
After a sword dance, the murderous aura was pervasive, and when Tang Li wiped his sweat, he suddenly saw Zhao Jun.
"A-Jun?" Tang Li's heroic face was suddenly ecstatic, and then he hurriedly stepped forward to give Zhao Jun a bear hug, Zhao Jun also laughed happily when he saw Tang Li, Tang Li and Cao Wuxian were his two closest brothers in life and death in this world.
"Come, let's not get drunk today, Uncle Tang, immediately order your subordinates to prepare wine and food." Tang Li finally laughed and said, he himself is an official doctor, so he can naturally have servants.
Zhao Jun naturally didn't mind, but the two of them didn't drink much during the banquet, it was all Zhao Jun talking about his experience after leaving, except for some special things, Zhao Jun said it without reservation, and Tang Li was amazed when he listened.
"Ah Jun, I'm going to congratulate you, when are you going to get married?" Tang Li made a joke, referring to Lu Pheasant.
Zhao Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly, he arranged it in the county office after snatching Lu Pheasant back that day, but he never went to see her, because he didn't know what to say when he saw Lu Pheasant.
Shaking his head, Zhao Jun said with a straight face: "Don't talk about this, by the way, I came this time for a purpose, that is, to formally ask you to help me, this time the emperor sent me to clean up the remnants and the bandits of the swamp, but I still have no clue, and Liu Ji's group, although this county order is still familiar, but it is also a slippery guy, I'm afraid it won't help me much, and my subordinates can fight a lot, but if you plan it, it's a little worse." ”
"Will the imperial court agree to this?" Tang Li asked.
Zhao Jun smiled and said: "This is no problem, the emperor has allowed me to recruit talents at any time, and when I return to Xianyang, I will be canonized together, but I don't know what Ah Li thinks about you, if you don't help me, I will really become a loner in Pei County." ”
After hearing this, Tang Li shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What else can I say when you say this, but you'd better not tell the court about me, I will only help you as your personal friend." ”
Zhao Jun nodded after hearing this, he knew that Tang Li didn't want to be an official in the Qin Imperial Court, otherwise with his relationship with Ren Huan, he would have been an official a long time ago.
"By the way, Ah Li, tell me about the situation over there in the big swamp in Pei County." Zhao Jun spoke again.
Tang Li heard the sound and said: "I know something, the main force on the side of the swamp is Wang Ling's gang now, their manpower is not less than 2,000 people at the beginning, and they are not like ordinary bandits, they are more disciplined It is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an army, as for what you said about Qi Chu's anti-Qin remnants, it should also be in the swamp, and it is inseparable from Wang Ling."
However, if you want to exterminate them, one word, it is difficult, not only because the terrain is complicated, but also because they have many connections in Pei County, and even Lord Ren Huan once suspected that the county commander was secretly dealing with him, basically they went as soon as our side was dispatched.
In addition, I suggest that you go to Lord Ren Huan in person, he knows and understands the situation over there best, as for the strategy, I don't have it for the time being, but after you fully understand the situation, we are making a plan. ”
"Hmm." Zhao Jun nodded, he knew that Tang Li's words were very true, but he didn't expect that Xu Mansion was still suspected of colluding with bandits, as for Ren Huan, he definitely wanted to see it, but Ren Huan had not come back from transporting a batch of grain and grass outside in the past few days.
In the end, Tang Li said again: "In addition, you'd better be careful with Liu Ji, this time he will definitely not give up after suffering such a big loss." ”
"I've sent someone to closely monitor their movements." Zhao Jun opened his mouth and said, if Liu Ji didn't make a move, he would feel strange, but in the past few days, he has to complete the handover task with Ren Huan, so that he has time to deal with Liu Ji, anyway, as long as he is in Pei County, he can't run away, if Liu Ji dares to make a move, he will naturally use a thunderous counterattack.
