IP Chapter Table of Contents] Chapter 13 Ten Days of Leisure

While the conversation was going on, before I knew it, it was late, and dusk was shining through the window. [Full text reading]

Ren Xing, Zhao Shun, and Zheng Tong were quite knowledgeable, and before Xiao Mo could say anything, they had already retired in unison, and Xiao Mo didn't keep it, but just appeased him and told him all kinds of advice, but he didn't mention it.

After Ren Xing and the others left, only Xiao Mo, Xiao Huan, and Fan Guan were left in the study.

Feeling that the relationship between the three of them was actually a little estranged, and unlike his attitude towards Ren Xing and others, Xiao Mo deliberately left the two of them overnight, talked all night, and slept on their feet, just like when the three of them were still in Yunzhou.

However, for Xiao Mo's retention, after Xiao Huan and Fan Guan glanced at each other, they all resigned in unison, their positions were very firm, and the gods were flattered by three points, and there were seven points of sincerity and fear.

Obviously, they were worried that Xiao Mo's retention was just polite, and if they went up the pole and stayed in Xiao Mansion for the night, they were afraid that it would make Xiao Mo unhappy.

If you make a mistake, don't make a mistake, it's the way of an official.

Xiao Mo was helpless, but he was not reluctant, he let them go, just looking at the back of the two leaving, deep in his mind, he unexpectedly remembered the scene when the three of them were still in Yunzhou, Xiao Huan and Fan Guan stayed in the Xiao family with dead faces, in order to have a long talk with Xiao Mo.

It's like yesterday, and it's like a world away.

The mind is wisps, and there seems to be nothing.

And Xiao Mo was secretly sad, Deng Shangquan had already arrived with Fan Xiang, who had been waiting for a long time, and came quickly; The second is to secretly build momentum for Xiao Mo, widely spread all the deeds of Xiao Mo's frontline to resist the enemy, and exaggerate one credit into twelve points, and now Xiao Mo has such a great reputation among the government and the opposition, it can be said that the secret camp has made great contributions.

And Fan Xiang came here to report to Xiao Mo the recent situation and achievements of the secret camp in the past few days.

………

However, although the dark camp contributed a lot to Xiao Mo, the development of his capital was not as smooth as imagined.

Fan Xiang's focus on the development of the dark camp is to set the three sects that are not valued by the major forces of the government and the opposition, these people are widely spread, numerous, and well-informed, but they are easy to buy because of their low status, which can be described as a good strategy.

However, what Fan Xiang didn't expect was that all the forces in Beijing and the major tycoons had been operating in the capital for decades or even hundreds of years, and they had already penetrated all aspects, and their influence was everywhere.

Therefore, although Fan Xiang intends to operate the dark camp forces of the three sects, he has nowhere to start, and he has no place to start, and he has moved his whole body, and to this day, in the past year, there has not been much development.

Of course, this is also related to Fan Xiang's business strategy, because Xiao Mo once told him. The affairs of the secret camp must be kept secret, and others cannot be told that Xiao Mo is behind the secret camp, and Fan Xiang himself also has the habit of doing things in secret, so when expanding his power, he blindly seeks stability, and is cautious when absorbing members, and will not even let them know who he is doing for him, so that the development will be slow.

………

Listening to Fan Xiang's explanation, Xiao Mo was silent.

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Mo suddenly sighed and said, "I thought wrong, you did wrong, we were all wrong." ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's sudden emotion, Fan Xiang couldn't help but be stunned, his heart was also nervous, and he hurriedly asked, "Why did the adults say that?" The subordinates are puzzled, and they ask the adults for advice. ”

Xiao Moshen didn't look nervous, just shook his head, and said leisurely: "Fan Xiang, if you think about it carefully, the dark camp has been blindly building momentum for me these days, and anyone can think that what the dark camp does will ultimately benefit people, and it must be only me, and who the dark camp is doing is clear at a glance because of this." In this way, no matter how confidential and cautious the secret camp is, I am afraid that the major forces in the capital will still know that I am secretly running such a force, as long as they have the heart to investigate carefully, the existence of the secret camp will definitely not be able to hide from their eyes. ”

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, Fan Xiangshen became more and more nervous, and asked, "My lord, are you saying that the great forces in the capital have already known about the existence of the dark camp and know that the dark camp is doing things for you?" ”

Xiao Mo nodded and said, "It's very likely." ”

Seeing that Fan Xiang's face was already sweating nervously, Xiao Mo smiled and said, "What are you nervous about?" It's just a possibility, and even if it's discovered, it's not a big deal. ”

Fan Xiang was stunned again, and looked at Xiao Mo in confusion, his eyes full of suspicion.

Xiao Mo sighed and said, "The reason why I said that it was only 'possible' to be discovered was because the secret camp had been in operation for a short time and its power was very weak, how could it be possible to publicize my affairs in a short period of time to everyone and make such a huge noise?" Besides, when the secret camp preached for me, the top and bottom of the Prime Minister's Mansion also promoted Zhang Yansheng, but after the result, my momentum still faintly overpowered Zhang Yansheng, why is this? Could it be that the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not as great as that of the secret camp? ”

"Your Excellency, are you saying that there are other people besides the secret camp who are building a campaign for you? And the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion above? After Fan Xiang hesitated for a moment, his body suddenly shook and said, "Is it the emperor?" ”

Xiao Mo nodded and said approvingly: "It is the emperor, besides the emperor, who else can make a bigger momentum than the Prime Minister's Mansion?" And will do this, in addition to the secret camp, only the emperor. After all, what I did in Shangyuan City would be written every few days to report to the emperor, except for your secret camp, only the emperor knew clearly. And this kind of action, in addition to my benefit, the emperor will also benefit, at that time the barbarians were menacing, and the people in the capital were also panicked, so this kind of propaganda and momentum, so that my prestige is high, can stabilize the situation in the world and people's hearts. ”

"I see. The dark camp and the emperor are together for the big man, and the power of the dark camp is much smaller, with the emperor lining, the possibility of the dark camp being discovered is indeed not great. Fan Xiang was stunned, and then suspicious, and asked, "But...... Why do you say that even if you are discovered, there is nothing wrong with it? ”

Xiao Mo smiled again and said, "The purpose of you and I to establish the secret camp is not to rebel, but just to find some eyes and ears to protect ourselves, even if it is discovered, why be nervous?" ”

After a pause, seeing that Fan Xiang was still puzzled, Xiao Mo continued: "When you and I set up the secret camp before, I was just a scholar with no power and no power, and I didn't know much about the situation in Beijing. These eyes and ears forces, although they can't see the light, are also a kind of unspoken rules, after all, everyone does the same thing, tacitly, even if the dark camp is discovered by other forces, they will only take it for granted, and no one will say anything because of this. ”

"I see, thank you for your advice."

Seeing Fan Xiang's face, Xiao Mo said again: "The height at which people stand in the world is different, not only the way they look at things will be different, but the methods and purposes of doing things will also be different. With the change of your identity and status now, the previous plans are no longer suitable, and the mentality of the approach must be changed accordingly, especially you, you need to pay attention to the fact that the organization you had before was not visible, and you naturally focused on concealment and caution when doing things, but now I am running a dark camp, and I am still using the same old routine as before, but it is not suitable. The operation and construction of the hidden camp must be concealed and careful, but there is no need to be too careful, and the steps may as well be bigger, even if other forces know about the existence of the hidden camp, it is nothing, as long as they don't let them know the roots. ”

"My subordinates know." After Fan Xiang agreed, he hesitated: "However, the subordinates are afraid that after the major forces in Beijing learn about the existence of the secret camp, they will slowly infiltrate and operate with their forces, and the strength of the dark camp is still weak, but it is impossible to prevent it......"

Xiao Mo waved his hand and said: "It's okay, just be careful when absorbing members, spread out the stall first, even if it is infiltrated, it will be said later." I'd rather be nearsighted and have my ears on the back of my ears, but I wouldn't be blind or deaf. However, just in case, in the future, after the dark camp forces are initially formed, you can pick some trustworthy people and build an ear and eye organization that does not interfere with each other with the dark camp, and you can't put the eggs in the same basket. ”

"My subordinates understood."

Speaking of this, Xiao Mo suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "By the way, what clues have you found in the mysterious organization you were in the beginning?" ”

Fan Xiang shook his head and sighed: "That organization is too hidden, and the power of the secret camp is still weak, although I have the heart to investigate, I can't find the slightest clue. ”

After a pause, Fan Xiang said again: "However, a few days ago, when the adults were fighting against the enemy, their subordinates got the news that many state capitals had news that the silver treasury or large households were robbed, and the amount was huge, adding up to at least one million pieces of silver, but at that time, the people were panicking, and the court couldn't care about these things for a while, in order to calm the people's hearts, they deliberately concealed it. But his subordinates felt that these robberies, methods and means, were quite similar to that organization. ”

After a moment, Xiao Mo nodded and didn't say anything more, just told Fan Xiang some precautions needed for the development of the dark camp, and then let Fan Xiang leave.

After doing all this, Xiao Mo turned his head to look out the window, and the sun was already setting outside the window.

sighed and said with a wry smile: "I thought I could steal half a day of leisure, but I didn't expect it to be the same today, and I was busy until the evening unconsciously, but I was finally able to rest for a while......"

Before the words fell, Deng Shangquan had already flashed into the study and reported: "Young master, grandfather, ancestor nainai, they have come to find you in person." ”

Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Grandfather, grandmother, and their guests have all left?" ”

Deng Shangquan nodded yes.

Xiao Mo hurriedly came out of the study to greet him, but saw that his grandfather Xiao Shenxing, his fourth grandfather Xiao Shenyan, his grandmother Liu and others were coming towards Xiao Mo with a bunch of Xiao clansmen, and everyone was beaming with joy on their faces.

Before Xiao Mo could speak, he saw that Liu was already waving his hand and making a thick stack of kissing posts, and his eyes were full of excitement and joy, and he called: "Mo'er, these are all kissing posts, you can quickly see which girl you like, grandmother is in charge of you." ”

Xiao Mo smiled bitterly, understanding that he had the only little leisure time left today, and he was afraid that he would not be able to save it.
