Mao Xiancheng once again agreed to invite Xu Liang to hold a banquet, but Xu Liang refused, and set off to return to Pingliang City on the same day.

Chongxin County and his party, Xu Liang finally confirmed one thing, Qin Feng could not use it for himself.

When Xu Liang returned to Pingliang City, the Pingliang guerrilla general Dai Feng also entered Pingliang City almost at the same time, General Dai couldn't see a trace of a smile on his face, and when he entered Pingliang City, he didn't even enter the gate of Dai's Mansion, so he directly followed the Tsing Yi Wei who escorted him back to Pingliang to Xu's Mansion.

As soon as Xu Liang got off the carriage, Dai Feng arrived. Xu Liang stood beside the carriage, and Dai Feng rode on the tall horse, looking at each other speechlessly.

Dai Feng dismounted, walked in front of Xu Liang, and bowed his hand.

Xu Liang stepped aside and said, "General Dai has tormented Xu, and General Dai's promotion to the post of deputy chief soldier is really gratifying." In the future, I will do a lot of things for the court, share worries for the saints, and get promoted and make a fortune, which is just around the corner. ”

Dai Feng raised his head and said with a wry smile: "These are all the tricks of traitors in the court, I want to use this to drive a wedge between you and me, Xu Liang, you are such a smart person, how can you fall for other people's calculations lightly?" ”

Xu Liang snorted twice and walked towards the study. Dai Feng followed.

On the way, Xu Liang and Dai Feng walked one after the other.

Xu Liang said: "Whether it's someone else's calculations, or what's on the side, General Dai's promotion to the deputy chief soldier of the third rank is not fake." ”

Dai Feng said: "Xu Liang, the old man was originally not interested in the court, and I was able to come to Shaanxi entirely because of Yingying." Now that the warbler is dead, the old man has nothing to rely on in this life. The position of deputy commander-in-chief, Xu Liang, if you don't like it, the old man will push it off to the court. ”

Xu Liang's heart was shocked. I couldn't help but think of Dai Yingying again, Dai Feng was able to come to Pingliang from Jianchang. He became a guerrilla general in Pingliang entirely because he was Dai Yingying's husband. On impulse, he summoned Dai Feng back to Pingliang. Isn't it overdone?

Xu Liang shook his head and said, "General Dai, since the court has already promoted you as the deputy commander-in-chief, you can do it with peace of mind." ”

Dai Feng said: "Xu Liang, don't worry, after Yingying goes, the old man will be closer to your son-in-law in this life." Chao Tingmo said that he would give the old man a deputy chief soldier, even if he sent a military department book, he would not want to get you and me. ”

Dai Feng solemnly said to Xu Liang: "The old man's heart." I'll prove it to you. ”

Xu Liang listened, a little moved, and a little guilty. That night, Dai Feng was left to dine in the house. The next day, Xu Liang personally took Dai Feng to the mountains in the northern suburbs of Pingliang City and guided Dai Yingying's grave to Dai Feng. The two were in front of the tomb, which was inevitably another sigh and sadness.

Dai Feng was probably sad about his daughter's departure, and after returning to the city after seeing the cemetery, he handed over all the affairs in his hand to the deputy general Long Feng to take care of, and locked himself in Dai's mansion. Closed doors.

After Xu Liang heard this, he took the time to visit a few more times, and the third lady of the Xu Mansion, Lou Xian'er, also ran to the Dai Mansion more diligently according to Xu Liang's wishes.

It was a dark night. The business of the Drunken Immortal Building is basically closed, and the guys in the store have cleaned the entire three-story small building of the Drunken Immortal Building. In the entire Zuixian Building, only the small private room on the third floor facing the street still has guests who have not left. The shopkeepers lay on the table, their chins on crutches. While paying attention to the movement of the guests on the third floor, he dozed off.

Look at the darkening night outside the building. The shopkeeper wanted to go upstairs to urge, but his eyes were met by the two fierce guards at the door of the private room on the third floor, and his feet and stomachs became weak, and he no longer had the courage to go upstairs.

In the private room facing the street on the third floor, there are actually two guests sitting at a round table. One person in a green coat and a green hat, dressed as an ordinary Tsing Yi guard. The other person has a brocade hat and a mink fur, a cold face, and a long white beard under his chin, but he is Dai Feng, a Pingliang guerrilla general who has not been out for a long time.

Dai Feng's face was fierce, and he said: "Xu Liang's promotion path was framed by traitors in the court, and the traitors are in charge, and Xu Liang's promotion has become extremely difficult. Zhang Fengqi is gone, and Xu Liang has the final say in Pingliang City for the time being, if another prefect is obtained, then Xu Liang's situation will be very embarrassing. ”

The man in Tsing Yi nodded slowly, but said helplessly: "Not long ago, after the fire in Pingliang Mansion, I persuaded the young master to simply do nothing, but the young master disagreed, saying that it would damage the official reputation if it was spread out. ”

Dai Feng sneered: "Now that Xu Liang is blindly conniving, how good can his official reputation be?" There are Cao Yubian, Zhang Nianyun, and Qiao Yunsheng in the court, and no matter how well Xu Liang does, he will also make wedding clothes for others. Iron steward, you have followed your young master since you were a child, and you naturally hope that Xu Liang will be able to do everything well. However, now that the traitor is in charge, there is no way to serve the country loyally, and the iron steward, Xu Liang wants to be promoted through the normal way, which is tantamount to a fool's dream. ”

The person dressed as an ordinary Tsing Yi guard was actually the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion, Iron Head.

Tietou heard Dai Feng comment on himself like this, his heart was happy, his expression was resolute, and he said to Dai Feng: "General Dai called me here late at night, if you have anything to say, please say it directly." For the sake of my young master, I am willing to do anything. ”

Dai Feng was pleased, stared at the iron head, and said faintly: "I said just now, if there is no governor in Pingliang City, Pingliang or Xu Liang has the final say. Since the court can't give the name of the prefect of Xu Liang, then we have to confirm the power of the prefect of Xu Liang. ”

Tietou was stunned, and said suspiciously: "But I heard that the new prefect appointed by the court has arrived in Xi'an Mansion, and he will take office in Pingliang in a few days." ”

Dai Feng listened, laughed coldly, looked at the night, and said in a deep voice: "Now the ground in the northwest is extremely uneven, the rebel army has been raging in Hanzhong Mansion for a long time, there are groups of bandits from all over the country, the road from Xi'an Mansion to Pingliang is far away, and it is not very peaceful, there is something accident, it is really ordinary." ”

Tietou's eyes widened suddenly, and he muttered, "But the young master won't agree to do this." ”

Dai Feng sneered: "Who wants Xu Liang to agree?" You are the head of Tsing Yiwei, secretly dispatching capable people, what do you want to do when you go out, do you still have to report everything to Xu Liang? ”

"That's not necessary. It's just that I'm worried that the young master will blame me if he finds out. ”

Dai Feng hated that iron could not become steel, and pointed to the iron head and said: "If you don't say it, I won't say it, the brothers who do things keep their mouths shut, how can Xu Liang know?" Besides, even if the new prefect dies on the way to office, it can only mean that this short-lived ghost will not be blessed with the position of the prefect. There are countless nests of bandits and thieves along the road, who knows which way the heroes did the case? ”

Tietou was still hesitating, Dai Feng finally became angry, pointed his finger at the tip of Tietou's nose, and scolded: "I never understood that Xu Liang had a heavy army in his hands, and his subordinates were able to produce talents, but he missed the Pingliang Prefect twice or three times!" I only figured out today that the person he trusted the most was too stupid. ”

"I ......" Tietou was dumbfounded, and said with little confidence: "I am acting according to the young master's orders." ”

"Tietou, you are the head of Tsing Yiwei first, and then the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion!" Dai Feng hated that iron could not become steel, and said bitterly: "What was Xu Liang's original intention of setting up Tsing Yi Wei, I think you know better than me, it is nothing more than that there are many things that cannot be put on the table, so I will hand it over to Tsing Yi Wei to deal with." What Tsing Yiwei did was simply to share Xu Liang's worries. The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the Lord is humiliated and the ministers die! Tsing Yi Wei up and down, you must have this awareness! ”

Tietou looked at Dai Feng in a daze, all along, Tietou has been doing what he thinks he should do step by step, to Xu Fu, to Tsing Yiwei, all this attitude, until listening to Dai Feng's words, Tie Tou suddenly realized, as if he had re-acquainted Tsing Yi Wei, nodded slowly, and said: "General Dai rest assured, I know what to do."
