The establishment of the spy headquarters quickly attracted the attention of officials of all sizes. And Wang Xu did not hide it, and directly announced the official establishment of the Ministry of Intelligence. Fortunately, since the announcement, the officials who were still curious immediately lost interest, and none of them asked more. After all, Wang Xu's people are very smart and know what to ask and what not to ask.

Shan Huai's ability in this area makes Wang Xu very optimistic, and he doesn't drag his feet in doing things at all, and he hardly needs Wang Xu to ask anything, except for the necessity, he doesn't put forward any requirements at all. He figured it out on his own, and it was frighteningly fast. Almost every time I asked, there were surprising changes. Especially with the arrival of Liang Rui and Ling Wanqing successively, it has set off a round of frenzy. An indifferent man, plus two strong women who are bewitching in appearance but are actually strong, their "combat effectiveness" far exceeds imagination.

In less than a month, the county governments of Changsha, Guiyang, and Wuling counties had already built a number of strongholds, and intelligence officers had already begun to try to infiltrate. Moreover, the three of them seem to have made a lot of energy, one is more "ruthless" than the other, and they are full of strange tricks, often even Wang Xu and Xu Shu are amazed.

The only thing in common, though, is that all three are the same elusive. The way Shan Huai appeared was enough to surprise Wang Xu, and Ling Wanqing was even more arrogant, when Wang Xu saw her for the first time, she was lying on Wang Xu's bed, and her upper body revealed a large piece of delicate skin with white flowers. When Wang Xu was stunned, she stretched her waist like silk, as if she refused to welcome her. I have to say that she is very successful in this regard, even with Wang Xu's concentration, an evil fire rose in an instant.

However, when she joked and instantly turned over and stood up to salute, she realized that she was actually wearing clothes at all. And the momentum of the whole person changed in an instant, and the change was so fast that Wang Xu sighed very much.

After Ling Wanqing introduced herself, she knew that this woman with a hot figure and a soft face was one of the three giants of the spy under her account, Ling Wanqing! Needless to say, Wang Xu also knows the direction of her talents, ice and fire! It looks tempting, but it is actually a thorny rose, and it is poisonous......

As for Liang Rui, the former daughter of the official family, she is also no worse than the two. When she suddenly appeared at the door of the room in the dark of night with a cold white face and a tight-fitting purple dress, the feeling was not ordinary.

Wang Xu, who had just finished reviewing the official document and was about to go back to his room to change clothes and sleep, almost drew his sword and stabbed him on the spot. Fortunately, the other party knelt on one knee in time, which saved a senseless fight.

But then again, the appearance of these two beauties has also attracted a lot of attention. At least Zhou Zhi couldn't help but try to get close, although he was busy running around every day, he would still try his best to squeeze out a little time. It's a pity that only three days later, I never went to the spy headquarters again, and even if I happened to meet two beautiful women, I took a detour. With Zhou Zhi's temper, this is a very rare thing.

Wang Xu was curious, and after several inquiries, he learned that the two girls did not refuse at all, but just said that they would let Zhou Zhi get used to the special life for three days, and they would be "bosom friends" with him. And Zhou Zhi obviously didn't stick to it, because it was too terrifying. When he was chatting happily with Ling Wanqing, he suddenly found that there was a snake under his buttocks, or when he was having dinner, a scorpion suddenly appeared from the bowl, otherwise, the water he was drinking was poisoned......

Since then, Zhou Zhi has stayed away from the two beauties. also publicized the names of the two poisonous scorpions everywhere, so that the civil and military generals saw the two femme fatales, and their eyes were also weird. However, the two beauties didn't mind much, and they didn't communicate with anyone except Wang Xu and Xu Shu at all unless necessary. In this regard, Wang Xu is not easy to say anything, after all, it is not easy to take care of people's private lives. However, the relationship between the two daughters and Xu Shu is very good, and in informal occasions, they are both sisters and sisters, and they are very affectionate.

In short, in just two months. Shan Huai, Ling Wanqing, and Liang Rui all proved their own talents in their own different ways. In this regard, Wang Xu was also very satisfied, and handed over the matter of the spy shadow to the three of them with confidence, just asking from time to time.

At the same time, the development of Lingling and Guiyang counties was also extremely rapid, and the most difficult period finally passed, with the gradual abundance of materials, the increase in taxes, and the replenishment of the treasury. And the autumn harvest is imminent, looking at the large fields that are rising gratifyingly, both the officials and the people are happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Wang Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, and when the autumn harvest passed, the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang would be considered to be the real rise. Moreover, the matter of Bao Liu Du as the Taishou of Guiyang was also approved by the imperial court, which was a complete solution to the last worries. For the time being, you don't have to worry about these things, just keep this steady and rapid momentum of development, and turn your focus to the upcoming troubled times.

And the army side is also not lagging behind, in more than two months, the fortress has been preliminarily completed, and most of the conscription has been carried out. The Blue Dragon Knights and Guards personally trained by Wang Xu have achieved miraculous results, and their combat effectiveness is so strong that it has even surpassed the number of the Central Army in his impression. Moreover, the strength of the Guards has approached Gao Shun's trapped camp. However, horsemanship was still their weak point, after all, it took two months for the horses to arrive, and the soldiers could not practice them on horseback. However, Wang Xu is not too worried about this, judging from the current situation in the imperial court, there is still time, as long as you practice well, it is not a problem.

However, with the initial construction of the fortress and the conscription proceeding more or less, the generals had time for this. Wang Xu also simply handed over the training task to Dian Wei and Zhou Zhi, and asked Gao Shun to supervise it. At the same time, because more than 30,000 new recruits were recruited, Wang Xu also officially launched a large-scale military training to strengthen the training of the whole army. It is required that the generals must form a strong combat force within half a year.

In addition, Wang Xu also supervised the production of military uniforms and the construction of horse farms. I have to ask almost every day, and I will take time to check every other day. And the results are not bad, the horse farm can be initially put into use, but it is still far from Wang Xu's requirements. But it was not an overnight thing, the autumn harvest was about to begin, and it was necessary to temporarily relieve the conscription and let the majority of the people go back to harvesting, so it could only be perfected slowly.

However, the herdsmen were very satisfied with Wang Xu, not only did their best, but also often helped with other work. However, Wang Xu did not approve of the way they were bred, because they didn't care about the pedigree of the horses at all, and they didn't record and test them, they were purely random.

Fortunately, it was detected early and this unreasonable behavior was stopped in time. He also personally instructed the herdsmen and the recruited horse breeders to distinguish the bloodline, origin, and characteristics of the horses. Endurance, speed, weight-bearing capacity, etc., are measured to get an accurate number, and then they are bred according to the strength of the hereditary, complementing each other to get the best horse. In addition, after breeding, it is necessary to make a detailed distinction, and if the quality is good, it will continue to be mated, and if the quality is poor, it will be changed quickly.

After all, those herdsmen were very familiar with horses, and when Wang Xu said this, they quickly understood. And one by one they were very excited, apparently never thinking of this way of matching horses. When it comes to horses, they have an innate affection that is hard to let go. Therefore, this advanced way of raising horses can make them feel so excited, and they have almost god-like worship for Wang Xu!

Seeing that all matters were on the right track and troublesome things were solved, Wang Xu's heart was also full of confidence in the upcoming troubled times. With sufficient food and grass and material support, coupled with more than 55,000 elite soldiers trained, there is already capital to compete for world dominance. Next, all you need to do is mobilize everyone to dig up talents, clean up Cao Yin, and force Sun Jian away, then you can wait for the chaos in the world.

Walking leisurely beside the pool in the courtyard, looking at the small fish fed inside, thinking about the better and better situation, Wang Xu couldn't help but show a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. "Wife, has there been any news from Jingshi Luoyang recently? I guess there's going to be a movement soon, right? ”

"Nope!" Xu Shu waved her hand and sprinkled the fish food in her hand into the pool, looked at the small fish that were swarming, and couldn't help but smile happily: "You have only had a few comfortable days?" How? Just want to toss again? ”

"Huh! I just asked. Wang Xu said with a smile.

"Hey! You know you can't be idle. With that, Xu Shu threw all the fish food in her hand into the pool, clapped her hands, and then turned her head and said, "Forget it, I think you still care about those stalkers!" When I heard Wanqing tell me, it seemed that I already had some eyebrows. ”

"Oh? It's true? Wang Xu suddenly came to his senses.

"Of course it's true, what am I lying to you for? It's just that she said that there is no confirmation yet, so I'm not in a hurry to report to you for the time being, you think they have been idle for the past two months! If it weren't for the expansion of the spy shadow, the development of the south would have kept them too busy, and the results might have been produced long ago. Saying that, Xu Shu couldn't help but glance at Wang Xu.

"Huh! I'm really relieved about the three of them. Saying that, Wang Xu smiled, but shook his head and said, "Forget it, wait for them to find out and ask!" It's almost time to go to the fortress to see how the training is going, and remember to prepare me a meal in the evening, I'm going to come back for dinner! ”

After speaking, Wang Xu had already turned around and walked towards the arch of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Xu Shu couldn't help but shake her head, turned around and said, "Xiaoyu, help me prepare the embroidery, my flowers have been embroidered for more than a month, and the embroidery has not been finished yet, you have embroidered a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water." ”

"Hee-hee!" Hearing this, Xiaoyu suddenly laughed. "The master mother helps the master with official business every day, of course she has no time."

"Forget it! If my craftsmanship is not good, you should not flatter me. Xu Shu shook her head suddenly.

"Then why don't I finish the embroidery for you?" Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Don't! I'm just embroidering to find something to do, so as not to get bored, and I'll have to start all over again when you're done with it in a few clicks. Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xu Shu immediately waved her hand again and again.

"Oh well! I'll prepare the needle and thread for you now. As he spoke, Xiao Yu smiled and turned around to leave.

Xu Shu stretched, looked back at the little fish she raised, and then walked to the room boredly.

With the help of Xiaoyu, Xu Shuzheng was embroidering vigorously, and when she was talking and laughing, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?" Xu Shu suddenly raised her head and asked.

"Madam, it's me, Xiao Zhen!" Suddenly there was a crisp voice outside the door. This Xiao Zhen, like Xiao Yu and Xiao Ling, is also one of Wang Xu and Xu Shu's five close maids, and is only responsible for serving the two of them on weekdays, and there is no need to do other chores. There are also two people named Xiao Rong and Xiao Min, but except for Wang Xu or Xu Shu, they all take turns to follow the two of them, and the others will go to rest or clean the room.

"Oh! Come in! Xu Shu said.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhen, who was dressed in a cyan skirt, suddenly gently pushed open the door and walked in quickly. "Mastermother, Ling Wanqing has an urgent matter to see her master."

"Huh? Where is she now? Xu Shuxiu frowned and suddenly asked.

"She's at the small gate of the East Courtyard, and the guards won't let her come." Xiao Zhen replied immediately.

"Sister Wanqing is really, if she wants to come to this mansion, where is it difficult to get her, what rules do you have to follow. When I first arrived, I didn't sneak in. After laughing and complaining, Xu Shu said, "Then you go and take her!" ”

"No!" Xiao Zhen responded, and he didn't say anything, and immediately turned around and walked out.

After a while, Xiao Zhen led Ling Wanqing in, and then retreated obediently with Xiao Yu.

After the two of them closed the door, Xu Shu smiled slightly: "Sister Wanqing? What's so urgent? ”

"Where's the lord?" Ling Wanqing looked very anxious, and she didn't have time to say hello, so she immediately asked Wang Xulai.

"He just went to the west fortress to check on the army! What's wrong? Saying that, Xu Shu saw Ling Wanqing's expression change in an instant, and a bad premonition also rose in her heart.

"Suffered!" As Xu Shu's words fell, Ling Wanqing suddenly exclaimed, her soft face was completely calm on her usual days, and she said hurriedly: "Quick!" Someone wants to assassinate the lord, and all of them are masters, which is extraordinary, and I am afraid it will be too late to do so. ”

"What?" The embroidery in Xu Shu's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and her mind instantly became blank.
