Chapter 193: Planting Seeds
Seeing that Fu was speechless, Xie Shence stopped talking.
Fu Lai "ho-ho" for a while before returning to normal.
Based on his IQ and experience, he naturally knew that Captain Ma, surnamed Sima, entered the border army incognito for the so-called "gilding".
Of course, Captain Ma's gilding is more popular than that of ordinary generals, and it is also more in line with the expectations of the Northern Army.
Eventually, he recovered.
"Regardless of his surname Ma or Sima, he was always the captain of the sixth battalion. It doesn't matter if he's a major general, or a Ranger captain. β
Xie Shence nodded and agreed: "What you said is right, in fact, I also admire him, you must know that my eldest brother only spent two years in the Northwest Rangers." β
Xie Shence said lightly, "I just stayed in the Ranger for two years", but who is a real Ranger who doesn't know the super high mortality rate of the Ranger? If you can stay for two years, it's not just luck, it's a real military feat! The military merits accumulated in the past two years can definitely be exchanged for a junior lieutenant of the ninth or even eighth grade, and even without adding an official status, any general who has no rank but is better than a grade of personal soldier is a dream of ordinary sergeants. In the Northern Army, there was a matter of two robes resigning from each other's lieutenants in order to become a pro-soldier.
However, Fu Lai also knew that the "big brother" Xie Shence was talking about was the current princess of Jinyang - Xie Shenwei. For this majestic prince who slashed the Duan, all the northern armies remembered. After all, the glory of Xie Shenwei is the glory of the Northwest Army, the glory of the Xie family, and it is ironic for the Northern Army of the Sima faction. Especially at this time, when the northern army suffered defeat first, the contrast is even more obvious.
In addition to disgrace the Northern Army and contrast its incompetence, can Xie Shenwei's light have any other greater effect?
However, among the soldiers, especially the low-level soldiers, although the faction is also obvious, they can still express a certain degree of sincere admiration for those who have real skills. Even if Fu Lai originally didn't like Xie Shenwei, he also had some good feelings for Xie Shenwei at this time.
Xie Shence continued: "You may not know that your 'Captain Ma', his fiancΓ©e, is my eldest sister. β
Fu Lai was shocked again. Regarding Sima Tan's kissing object is Xie Shenpei, even the middle-level officers don't know much, not to mention the low-level soldiers.
"Now, you believe I'm not malicious, right?"
Looking at the smile on Xie Shence's face, Fu Lai finally slowly wiped the vigilance from his eyes.
After all, people are originally kind, and they seriously asked their names, this is respecting themselves, and like themselves, they all admire Captain Ma very much, and most importantly, they are Captain Ma's brother-in-law!
Looking at Fu Lai's gradually subdued hostility, Xie Shence smiled, and then said: "Okay, I asked you to come here just to talk to you about these things, Sima Tan and my eldest sister met when they were young, and they got along well, if nothing else, we should be able to get married in February next year."
Xie Shence babbled about Sima Tan's presence in Jindu, and also talked about some contacts between them. It's plain, but it's not obvious, it's very casual, just like talking about "what's the weather like today" with friends for many years.
Fu Lai was obviously happy about this.
He was happy to thank Shence for his attitude, and he was also happy to thank Shence for telling him about Sima Tan and letting him know Sima Tan's recent situation. Subconsciously, he had slowly accepted Sima Tan's ascension as Captain Ma, and he was proud of the fact that a person like Sima Tan who should be honored was willing to go through the battle.
Yes, pride, in fact, after learning that Captain Ma's true identity was Sima Tan at the beginning, he had a short period of astonishment, but soon, his astonishment was replaced by pride.
Our major general is a person who can truly inherit the mantle of a general, a person who can really bear the northern fortress of the Great Jin Dynasty, and a person who can truly cherish his soldiers and be brave and wise.
And I, once fought side by side with such people!
Fu Lai listened to Xie Shence talk about some of Sima Tan's ordinary life, not as heroic as the prancing horse and spear, bending the bow and shooting arrows on the battlefield, but he had some joy
Xie Shence spoke for a long time, always with a smile, and his speed of speech was always smooth, and occasionally Fu Lai also said a few words, which seemed to be harmonious.
However, in Xie Shence's words, many overt and covert struggles were omitted, and appropriate deletions were made in the language, otherwise Fu Lai would not understand many of them as a border ranger. Based on what he has seen and heard, he will not understand that many of the words that Xie Shence said lightly in his mouth actually had a murderous motive.
In the end, Xie Shence said: "Sima Tan and my eldest sister's wedding, he wants you to attend. My eldest sister told me that this is also a key point for me to come to you today. Thanks to my eldest sister's entrustment, she wants to help Sima Tan fulfill a small wish, so I invite you over like this, hoping that it will not be very presumptuous. But I also know that you are the only one left in the original sixth battalion."
Xie Shence said, the atmosphere had changed unconsciously, the original faint pleasure had disappeared, and only inexplicable sadness and anger remained at this time.
Grief is easy to understand, and as for anger, Xie Shence also noticed it and guessed some reasons, but he didn't say it. He didn't even open his mouth to ask the young man in front of him why he was angry.
Now Xie Shence was sure that Sima Bi had no determination to rebel, so he would not care about even some of the purges in the Northern Army, whether before or after the war. However, if you don't care, you don't care, Xie Shence doesn't mind stuffing a small pimple between Sima Tan and Sima Bi to disgust people.
After all, this is a ranger that Sima Tan has a lot of feelings for, but now there is only one person left because of some of Sima Bi's purposes. If Sima Tan wasn't so hypocritical, he would have shown a little dissatisfaction, at least he had to protest. Otherwise, Xie Shence wouldn't mind making this matter a little bigger, and scandalizing the image of the Sima family on the premise of hiding Sima Bi and highlighting Sima Tan. The subordinates are dead and have no performance at all? Doesn't it make people feel a little chilling?
Of course, it would be better if this Fu Lai agreed to his "invitation", went to Jindu, attended Sima Tan's wedding, and then said something.
"I'm not going to be good." Fu Lai hesitated.
Whew.
Hesitation is half the agreement.
Xie Shence smiled slightly: "I know what you are worried about, as long as you agree, everything can be arranged by the Weihou Mansion, if you are not at ease, I can let the Sima University Scholar Mansion arrange it." Of course, these are not important, some of the things you are worried about, such as the family, identity, status, etc., Sima Tan actually doesn't care, otherwise he wouldn't have regarded you as a real robe brother at the beginning. My eldest sister only knows this, and she is also for the good of your young general, so I would like to ask you for a favor, just as a younger brother, not as a commander of the Tiqi Division. β
"I know you have some hesitation about this, but what the eldest sister said, I must bring it. If you went, not only did you help me, but you also tied up my eldest sister, in a sense, for the sake of their husband and wife. β
For the sake of his sister's happiness, the younger brother took time out of his busy schedule to ask someone to attend his sister's wedding
No one can refuse.
What's more, Xie Shence also hinted that all the expenses along the way would be borne by him.
"Hehe, I also know, this comes and goes, I'm afraid it's a month or two, you are now the captain of the sixth battalion, it's not good to ask for leave, and it's okay if you're newly married, I know Xin Lan well, and you can also bring your wife, you have to see the characters of Jindu, just take a tour." It's also good to visit the night market in Jindu, buy two pieces of jewelry, and the pure gold is cheap"
Xie Shence was babbling about Fu to describe the prosperity and enthusiasm of the Jin capital, and at the end, Xie Shence also said half-jokingly: "You are sweating and bleeding at the border, you have to see what the Great Jin Kingdom you are protecting, what it looks like, and you have to let people know some of your deeds." β
Fu Lai was a little stunned by what Xie Shence said, and with Xie Shence's last sentence, his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
yes, why not? It's good to take a look, the style of Jindu, the characters of Jindu, the rouge jewelry of Jindu, buy two pieces for the lady, and you can also take them back to show off. What's more, just like Ma and the wife and uncle of the major general said, we must let people know some of our deeds.
Gotta let people know about it
"I", Fu Lai still didn't speak, he didn't doubt Xie Shence's identity, nor did he doubt Xie Shence's sincerity, he was just used to being reserved and conservative, "Lord Admiral, can I think about it again?" β
Xie Shence's expression was clear: "I have said it a long time ago, I am not the admiral of the Tiqi Division at this time, you are seeing the outside world when you say this, even if you call the little marquis, it is better than the admiral." Ahem, okay, I won't be entangled in this title issue, if I talk too much, you will think I'm hypocritical, and you can call me whatever you like. So I'll wait for your news? β
After speaking, Xie Shence stood up, and Fu Lai also stood up in a hurry, almost tripping over the stool in a hurry.
"Go back and talk to the old man and your wife. If it's decided, come over and say it directly, I've said hello to Tiqi, and if you want to leave, you may have to leave after the Lantern Festival, so prepare for anything."
Xie Shence sent it all the way to the door, and said a lot of words.
Looking at Fu Lai's fading voice, Wushan said behind Xie Shence: "Lord Admiral, don't you send someone to secretly protect and monitor?" In case of a whistleblower or Sima Bi does something to him"
Xie Shence waved his hand and said, "Don't be so serious, I made it clear to Sima Bi before, why kill people?" Extinguish the mouth? He wouldn't do it again. As for the whistleblower you said, I didn't say any secrets, so what can I tell? But his family, have you figured it out? β
"It's been figured out a long time ago, the white family has joined the army for generations. Both parents are still physically strong. Both mothers-in-law and mother-in-law have sons, and one of his older brothers died in battle. β
"Well, that's good, don't pay attention to it, just make sure that his family doesn't die."
Osan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Lord Admiral, you really didn't ask anything important?" β
Xie Shence smiled slightly: "I didn't ask." What is important and not important"
After speaking, Xie Shence turned around and went in, flattened his hands behind him, and hummed as he walked: "Drop a seed, send a chat"
Osan followed behind, listening inexplicably, and didn't know what to do.
