The rapid defeat of King Ning's sailors on the Black Water Ocean was beyond Shang Haibo's expectations, and after losing the greatest reliance of the sailors, in Shang Haibo's view, King Ning's defeat was doomed, and now the question is, how long can King Ning support and how long will he fight for Luoyang? The longer this time, the better, the pilot of Dingzhou's new policy in the Central Plains can basically be said to have been successful, although it has damaged the interests of a large number of original gentry and nobles, but it has allowed the country and the vast majority of the people to get real benefits, which is not only to make the treasury abundant, but more importantly, the people have more sense of identity and support for the Luoyang court. www.biquge.info After the beginning of the year, the promotion of the new deal will be fully rolled out in the entire Central Plains, presumably there will be many people who will jump out to oppose it, Shang Haibo's eyes flashed a touch of murder, the development of an era will inevitably represent the destruction of one class and the rise of another, Shang Haibo, who was born in a poor family, does not have any good feelings for the wealthy family of Da Chu itself, eradicate these parasites, he will not have the slightest soft-heartedness, and he will never mind raising the butcher knife in his hand.

It is necessary to give the greatest support to King Ning so that King Ning can survive for a longer time, now, the best support for King Ning is to immediately launch an attack on the whole state, Zhang Aimin against Chen Zeyue, the chance of victory should still be very large, if according to the view of the vast majority of the imperial court, it will only hurt others and harm himself.

In five years, as long as we give ourselves five years, with the vast area of the Central Plains and Dingkou, which has an absolute numerical advantage, we will form an overwhelming advantage over Dingzhou. There is no shortage of people, no shortage of resources, and no shortage of skilled craftsmen in the Central Plains, although it is not yet possible to produce the high-quality Kai armor and sharp weapons in Dingzhou on a large scale, but the four-shot eight-bull crossbow and long-range projector have been imitated, and the performance is no worse than that of Dingzhou. Shang Haibo believes that as long as Dingzhou gives these skilled craftsmen strong incentives, these will be solved in a short time.

The resources in my hands now are much stronger than when I was in Dingzhou, and I will definitely be able to make better results at that time.

The moment he stepped on the threshold, Shang Haibo turned his head and looked at the long stretching avenue in front of the door, the road was at his feet, as long as he walked out step by step, he would eventually reach the end of the day.

Shang Shuhuan, dressed as a beggar, dressed in tatters, and exuding a foul smell on his body, sat cross-legged at the corner of a mansion in the distance, in front of him, there were endless passers-by and guards with guns, Shang Haibo was about to step into the house, and these soldiers also began to gather their formation, ready to retreat.

Looking at the figure who came down from the big shelf, Shang Shuhuan's tears suddenly flowed uncontrollably, he stood up with a stick, leaned against the wall, staring intently at the back, his father had a lot of gray hair on his head, and his back also looked a little rickety, but the steps he took were still as big and powerful as before.

almost wanted to blurt out, but Shang Shuhuan still forced himself to swallow the call back into his throat, just looking at the back of the person who was about to disappear in front of the door with teary eyes.

But in the dark, there seemed to be an invisible divine rope that tied the father and son, and at the moment when he was about to step into the gate, Shang Haibo seemed to feel the hot gaze coming from his back, Huo Di turned around, and his eyes were looking at the place where Shang Shuhuan was staying.

Just as far as the eye could see, there was only a sloppy and extremely ugly beggar standing there with a stick, Shang Haibo sighed silently, turned around and disappeared into the gate.

Seeing the vermilion gate slamming shut, Shang Shuhuan limped into the distance with a stick and a broken bowl.

Xie Ke's mansion, Xie Ke, who had returned from the next dynasty, returned to the study, and immediately wrote a secret letter, sealed it in a wax pill, and then called Hu Dong.

"Dongzi, I'm afraid you're going to have to run in person."

"What's wrong?" Hu Dong asked.

"The imperial court decided to ask Zhang Aimin, the Minzhou army, to immediately start a war, go out of Qingyang, seize Zunhua, and attack Quanzhou, in order to echo the attack of King Ning's southern army on Weizhou."

"Damn, it's really non-stop!" Hu Dong scolded, "I'm the only one who went, the Luoyang network has just begun to be rebuilt, and I can't form a combat force yet, and I can't fully trust them, so I am the only one who can run for such a big thing." ”

"Take Ximen Qing with you, and you can take care of it." Xie Ke commanded.

Hu Dong grinned, "Ximenqing has another task, you can't go with me!" ”

"Another mission?" Xie Ke asked in surprise, and then did not ask again, there is discipline in the Supervision Yuan, it is not his own business, the less he knows, the better.

"It's okay to tell you, I received a secret order from the young lady to ask Ximenqing to protect someone secretly, do you know who this person is?"

Xie Ke smiled noncommittally, if he could let him know, Hu Dong would naturally say, if he didn't say it, it would be useless to ask himself.

"Shang Shuhuan!" Hu Dong spat out a few words.

Xie Ke's eyebrows immediately raised, "It's him, he's coming to Luoyang." ”

"Yes, another group reception, this group is directly led by the young lady."

Xie Ke nodded, "It seems that Miss has finally made a move to deal with Shang Haibo." Hu Dong, I was transferred to the Ministry of Works, and I will participate in the renovation of Luoyang City. ”

"Oh, wouldn't that be able to get the defense map of the entire Luoyang City and various military facilities?" Hu Dong was very excited.

"It's that simple." Xie Hu said: "This is Luoyang's top secret, only people at the level of Shangshu Shilang can access it, and I am only responsible for the specific construction work." In this letter, I have explained to her what I am doing, and what I have commanded, and she will tell you when you return. ”

"Got it!"

"Also, the imperial court also decided to re-use force against Youyan, and strive to obtain the Xiegu Fortress, we in Dingzhou must take precautions, if the Xiegu is lost, Youyan will have no danger to defend."

"Got it, as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow, I'll set off, this time, but I won't be able to return until after the beginning of the year, Xie Ke, do you want me to bring you something back?"

Xie Ke thought for a while, "Go to my parents' grave for me and put a pillar of incense on it, kowtow a few heads, and bring a little more soil from their graves, I have been away from my hometown for a long time, and my homesickness is getting stronger!" ”

Hu Dong was stunned and comforted: "The victory will not be too long, at that time, we will go back to Dingzhou in style." ”

"That's nature!" The two big hands were clasped tightly together.

The blazing firelight, the cold knife light, the terrible screams, the helpless ***, all mixed together, Shang Haibo sweated profusely, stood up suddenly, sat up from the bed, the candlelight on the table was still burning, bright and uncertain, reflecting his figure on the curtain, looking so lonely and lonely.

"What's the matter, sir?" The woman who was sleeping next to her sat up, supported Shang Haibo, and asked in a coquettish voice, There are many palace maids in the house, all of whom are charming and beautiful.

Shang Hai Bolen was stunned for a long time and shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just a nightmare." Under the woman's service, after lying down again, she couldn't sleep anymore, and the figures of the old wife and son were dangling in front of her.

Sleepless nights.

For more than ten days, every time Shang Haibo went to court, he would always see the ugly-looking beggar not far from the house, Shang Haibo always felt that he had seen this person there, and he couldn't help but feel strange for a while, he would not have an acquaintance in Luoyang, and he was such an obvious acquaintance.

A very strange feeling grew in Shang Haibo's heart.

Today, Shang Haibo went down to the house again, and when he passed the corner, Shang Haibo quietly lifted the corner of the tent curtain, and sure enough, the ugly man was reclining in the corner, with one leg stretched out, the other leg curled, holding a wooden stick in his arms, and a broken bowl in front of him, was staying there.

seemed to know that Shang Haibo was peeping at him, the man's eyes looked over, and the two looked at each other, Shang Haibo was shocked in his heart, this person's eyes were so familiar.

Stretching out his feet and stepping on the bottom of the sedan chair, the sedan chair immediately stopped, and the butler who followed the sedan chair immediately came to him, and asked through the curtain, "What do you command?" ”

"If you see the beggar around the corner, call him to me!" Shanghai Wave Road.

"This, master, Lord Yuan has instructed that strangers cannot be allowed to approach your lord."

Shang Haibo smiled silently, "With a master of the Ministry of Labor like you by my side, are you still afraid of any little thieves, not to mention, there are many soldiers here, just take strict precautions." ”

"Your Excellency?" The housekeeper wanted to persuade again, but Shang Haibo's voice had already raised, "Call over." ”

"Yes!" The butler nodded helplessly, made a gesture, and the two guards immediately pounced, and the ugly man around the corner seemed to realize something, and got up and wanted to run, but there was still time there, and he was grabbed by the two guards, and dragged over with his footsteps.

Pulling up the curtain, Shang Haibo stared at the ugly man in front of him, and his eyes always felt familiar.

"This man, where are you from, do I recognize you?" He asked in a deep voice.

Shang Shuhuan only felt that blood was dripping in his heart, but the father and son did not know each other, looking at each other's eyes, Shang Shuxing hoarsely throated, and shook his head again and again, "My lord, I don't recognize you, I came from Pingzhou, my family was fired, my relatives died, and there was nothing." ”

Listening to the other party's inaudible voice, Shang Haibo shook his head in disappointment, "Give him a few taels of silver and let him go!" ”

The housekeeper took out a few taels of broken silver from his arms and handed them to the ugly man, "The adults are kind-hearted, and they don't thank you yet." ”

Shang Shuhuan took the silver, bowed down and thanked him repeatedly, turned around, and limped into the distance with a stick. At this time, they were close, looking at the other party's back, Shang Haibo's body was shocked, and that back was almost exactly the same as his son Shang Shuhuan.

"Stop!" He shouted.

With his shout, several guards screamed, and their waist knives were also sheathed, forcing them up, dragging Shang Shuhuan back again.

Staring at that unfamiliar face, thinking of the familiar back, Shang Haibo's mind instantly turned countless thoughts, "You ugly man also has an eye for me, seeing that you are pitiful, I want to accept you into the mansion to be a subordinate, how about it?" ”

Shang Shuhuan was stunned, and before he could answer, the housekeeper next to him had already objected: "My lord, this person's origin is unknown, it's better not to be accepted into the mansion." ”

Shang Haibo laughed and said: "I see that your staff was really bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, this man is a disability, if it is really an assassin, who would be stupid enough to send such a person with such obvious characteristics to assassinate me, man, I only ask you if you are willing, right?" ”

Shang Shuhuan showed a look of surprise in his eyes, and he lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "The villain is willing, the villain is willing, as long as there is a mouthful of food to eat, you can ask me to do it." ”
