Back in the backyard, Mowgli sat in the kiosk and meditated.

The most important thing in these years is food, and you can't do anything without food.

Although Wuji has stored a lot of food in the past six years, it is not yet time to use it, and besides, more than 1,000 people in the caravan also need supplies.

Wuji turned his head and asked Ah Ren, "How long has Ah Kang been gone?" ”

"It's been a year and a half, almost two years." Ah Ren replied.

"It's been so long, I think it's time to come back." Mowgli muttered to himself.

It's time to write a letter to my father, this unity army should be in your own hands, although it is a remnant army, but after all, it is a veteran of the army, by the way, ask if the state capital has enough grain and grass, and if you can allocate some. Mowgli said secretly.

A quarter of an hour later, Wuji instructed Ayi: "Ayi, you immediately bring my letter and send it to my father in person, go and return quickly." ”

The next day, a person from Jiangling came to the yamen and named him to see Baili Wuji.

Wuji came to the yamen and saw that it was Wei Lan standing outside the door, and in an instant, a trace of bad premonition flashed in Wuji's heart.

hurriedly greeted: "Wei Luan, you don't serve the master in Longxing Temple, why did you come to Badong?" ”

Wei Lan stepped forward and choked up, "Ziqing, master, he ...... The immortal is gone. Before he died, he instructed me to give this car of books to Ziqing, and asked me to come to Ziqing. ”

Wuji felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, this Wei Lan was three years older than Wuji, and he often played with himself and Bailiren and others, his master Qi was already a monk of Longxing Temple in Jiangling, and Liang Zhen was a poet friend, and what he learned was breathtaking.

Since Wuji worshiped Liang Zhen's disciple, he often went to Longxing Temple with Liang Zhen to drink tea and poetry, and he was very familiar with it, and Qi has often instructed Wuji to study, so he was respected as half a master by Baili Wuji.

Wuji hurriedly took Wei Lan's hands, accompanied him to tears, and comforted: "Wei Lan is relieved, so he will live in Ziqing's place with peace of mind." ”

Wei Xuan successively briefly recounted the events of Qi before and after his death to Wuji.

Qi was seventy-six when he died, which can be regarded as a long life, and before he died, he kept chanting that the poems and essays he had written before should have a place to go, Liang Zhen suggested that he give Baili Wuji on the side, and he agreed after thinking about it.

As for Wei Lan, Qi and Liang Zhen both suggested going to Baili Wuji, the two had known each other for a long time, and now they can take care of each other together.

After Qi died, Wei Lan and many of his fellow disciples compiled the fragments of poems left by Qi into a book, named "White Lotus Collection", a total of 810 articles, which was the car and things behind Wei Lan.

Wei Lan this person, since he was a child, he is extremely intelligent, proficient in poetry and songs, the most admirable thing is his ability to predict and divination, when he was a child, Baili Wuji took Wei Lan Bailiren and others to the military camp to play, and many times met and saw horse racing, Wei Lan must be successful in every guess. What's even more strange is that in the fourth year of Tang Tiancheng, the king Gao Congzhi fought with Chu for Lizhou, and before sending troops, Wei Lan Qi had already said to Liang Zhen that the Jingnan army would be defeated, and the result was as Wei Lan expected.

The arrangement of Wei Lan hurt Wuji's brain, although Wei Lan is erudite, he has been studying under Qi for a long time, has a calm temperament, and does not know martial arts, is not good at soldiers, and can only be used for literary affairs.

In the end, Baili Wuji could only let people arrange Wei Lan's residence next to his bedroom, serve as a clerk, and rely on him as a staff member.

Wei Lan was also very satisfied with this arrangement, and he had a peaceful temperament when urinating, and rarely fought with others. If the master is still there, I thought that this life was to make tea, chant poems, and plant flowers, but now that the master has passed away, he has gone to Baili Wuji, for Wuji, he has been friendly with him since he was a child, and it is indeed in line with his mind to be able to serve as a clerical staff.

Time flies so fast, three days have passed in a blink of an eye.

The days of the prefectural order are actually very easy, of course, when there are no cases or incidents.

Mowgli's life is very regular.

Get up early to practice boxing, then have breakfast, and then go to the lobby to sit and chat with Tian Zhiquan and Xu Shiming. It is rare to see the county lieutenant Kuma Kimoto. After eating lunch, I took Ah Ren and Wei Lan to hang out in civilian clothes, and called it a private visit in Weifu. At night, there is nothing to do, and it is extremely boring.

In the evening, Bai Liren reported that he had received information that someone in the Padang County Yazhong had contact with Gangneung Province.

If Wuji only wants to be a county order, then it will be fine, but if Wuji wants to do something, then he must find out the eyeliner, although it will not kill him, but at least he can prevent it.

It was noon.

Ayi returned from Zi.

Brought a reply from Mowgli's father and a fire-sealed edict to the Unity Army.

Baili Yuanwang said in the letter: "My father knows what Lu Daoru thinks in his heart, but it is impossible for Guizhou or even Jingnan to compete with the surrounding feudal towns. Thou shalt keep in mind the admonition of Duke Liang and be cautious in all things. The Unity Army stationed in Padang County has been abandoned by the king, and its supplies are now not included in the state capital. or dissolve on the spot and dissolve as a citizen, or reorganize into a Badong Township Soldier to protect the territory and the people, and you can dispose of it yourself. But the number of people must not be too much, and it will just lead the king to be suspicious, remember. Grain and straw have prepared some transportation for you on a selected day for your father, and you will be able to solve your urgent needs first. ”

After reading the letter, Wuji probably understood what his father meant, this unity army was already a remnant army forgotten by the king, and the original history of the Guizhou Assassin was originally intended to be because it had guarded the Guizhou for so many years, and it was privately sent to the grain straw with compassion.

My father wanted to know that he wanted to have some military power in his hands, so the letter was vague, otherwise, the unity army was estimated to be only one, and it was disbanded on the spot. In this era, grain is the army, and the control of grain in various feudal towns is quite strict. In the past six years, Wuji has been hiding and hoarding food through the caravan, and now it is only more than 5,000 stones. It will also be able to guarantee the rations of more than 1,000 caravans for more than two years.

What's more important is that the official position of Wuji is a county order, and it is a taboo to be in charge of the military as a civilian official, not to mention that the king already has a mustard in his heart, how can it be good? Although the emperor is far away, and the history of the Guizhou assassin is his father, he can't wait to reorganize the united army as soon as he comes, and he is always a little ugly.

In my father's letter, I said that the reorganization of the Unity Army into village soldiers was a solution, after all, it was not an army in name, and it could be justified.

Wuji couldn't think of a way to come up with it all of a sudden, so he didn't care, he would first discuss the matter of uniting the army with his subordinates.

Wuji asked Ah Ren to invite the county lieutenant Bo to the inner hall to discuss the unity of the army.

The inner hall of the yamen.

Wuji conveyed the meaning of the state capital to the three of them: "What do you think about the disbandment or reorganization of the Unity Army? ”

The three of them exchanged glances with each other.

County Chengtian Zhiquan was the first to speak: "Baili Ming Mansion, the lower officials think that the unity army should be disbanded." The Ming Mansion saw it a few days ago that the Unity Army needs 400 stone of grain a month, and the people of this county are poor and can't afford to support it. ”

The second person to speak was the county lieutenant Xiong Jiben: "Baili Ming Mansion, the official is in charge of the county's public security." Although the county is poor, the people are simple, and there have always been few evil cases and foreign bandits are rare, which is not unrelated to the county's resident unity army. Therefore, the lower officials believed that the reorganization of the unity army should be retained, first, to protect the territory and the people, and second, the disbandment of the unity army might cause riots among the soldiers, which was not beautiful. ”

The most stubborn is naturally the main Bo Xu Shiming, he looked left and right, and did not speak for a long time.

Wuji asked, "Does Master Xu have no opinion?" ”

Xu Shiming said: "The opinion of the Ming Mansion is the opinion of a certain person, and a certain has no opinion. "This old slippery head.

Wuji opened his mouth and said: "What Tian County Cheng said is indeed true, the total number of households in this county is only 18,000 and 600 households, and it really can't afford to raise more than 1,000 soldiers and strong people to eat horses. However, what Lieutenant Xiong said is not bad, having a township soldier in this county is really beneficial to the security of the county, and in case Shu Chu comes to attack, it can also be temporarily resisted. Moreover, once the news of the disbandment spreads, the Solidarity Army is afraid of fluctuations, and if it causes a mutiny, it will be a great sin. It's hard to ....... ”

Wuji saw that the three of them were silent for a long time, and thought that he had to press harder, and take this opportunity to see who was standing behind these three people from Jiangling Mansion. And to force them out, only he did not show his attitude towards the handling of the United Army.

"Think again, and see if there's a foolproof solution. Don't be in a hurry for a few days, think again, think again. ”

Wuji left the three of them and went back to the backyard by himself.
