"I wonder if Childe is still satisfied?" Du Tong, who returned to the backyard, faded away from the official authority in front of him and became cautious, after all, there were three plague gods in front of him who killed people without blinking.

"I always thought that Lord Du was just a lustful wine bag and rice bag, today's words and deeds of adults, it is really surprising, I am too good to look at people, lonely and unheard, adults can sit in today's position, or have real skills, Lord Du's ability is not a problem, but the court wants to use people to have both virtues, if there is a loss of virtue, I am afraid that the more prominent it is, the greater the harm to the people! In terms of political achievements, Lord Du is blameless, although he has to fill his pockets, but the people of Qizhou are also doing well, if it were not for the cardinal religion, the future of the adults is still immeasurable! ”

"Shame! Ashamed! Du Tong clenched his fists and wiped his cold sweat and said.

"Urge those officials and gentry to donate the grain today, sort it out, and order someone to transport it to the border!" Yang Xing hugged the sword and said lightly, "In addition, there is the matter of requisitioning people's husbands, and the imperial court will inevitably have a large number of armaments to be transported, and Qizhou happens to be a transit place, so you need to prepare everything!" ”

"Yes, I'll go down and prepare for this! I'm sure to get things done! ”

For a few days, Jiang Xiaoyu and the three of them were inseparable from Du Tong, staring at him to do what he had to do, and as long as Du Tong did not dare to act rashly in the entire northwest, other officials did not have the courage to stir up the situation alone!

And the battle report in front also began to come, due to Dou Ce's violent death, the border guards were originally in a state of leaderlessness, and the two battles with dog velvet were frustrated, and then retreated to the gate, avoiding the battle! It's just that the general appointed by the imperial court has not yet arrived, and there is a dog velvet army in front of him, so the army is panicked.

And at this difficult moment, Zhao Yan's arrival can be regarded as a reassuring pill for everyone, but after all, he does not have a holy will, and he still has a lot of complaints in the army, but the identity of the prince and the military exploits of winning more and losing less make the people below dare not be presumptuous.

The second prince's talent in military affairs was already outstanding, and after stabilizing the morale of the army and arranging defense, he took advantage of the night to sneak attack the dog down and achieved a big victory, which can be regarded as completely stabilizing the situation on the border.

The Northwest Army already occupies favorable terrain, as long as the rear is stable, it is impossible for the dog down to break through the defense line, and the dog down is already short of food and grass, and when it cannot be attacked for a long time, it will naturally go back.

And the more prominent the general talent of the second prince, the higher his prestige in the army, the more Jiang Xiaoyu feels worried, for the people of the Great Zhou, a prince who can fight well is a good thing, but for the emperor, it is another matter.

Jiang Xiaoyu is now controlling Du Tong to do what he needs to do on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is letting the Black Armor Guard secretly investigate and monitor the officials in the northwest, and if there is a stranger, he will carry out assassinations in the name of colluding with the Cardinal Sect.

The time has gradually come to the end of September, and on this day, an uninvited guest came to the state governor's house.

Jiang Xiaoyu and the three of them were sorting out the things they had done in the past few days in Du Tong's study, and arranging the things to be done in the next few days, Du Tongan sat on the side tremblingly, his spirit was highly nervous, because he had to answer the questions raised by the three of them at any time.

Although he has some problems with his personal style, he does have considerable confidence in his familiarity with government affairs, and he is very clear about all matters in Qizhou, and he can also give reasonable suggestions, which is very important to Jiang Xiaoyu and Wu Qian, who are still laymen, and Yang Xing, who is half an insider.

The more he understands Du Tong's ability, Jiang Xiaoyu sighs more and more, if this person is on the second side, and he will be transferred to the capital in the future, he should be a right-hand man. It's just that judging from the current situation, it is already a great blessing to be able to save his life in the future, and his career is basically over.

"My lord, I have a guest asking to see you!" The subordinates outside are on the road.

"I'm busy right now, no!"

"It seems to be someone from the imperial court!"

"This ......" Du Tong asked Jiang Xiaoyu and the three of them with his eyes.

Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes rolled slightly, and said, "Since you are a member of the imperial court, of course you want to see it, and you may be able to get useful news!" ”

She got up and put the veil on, and said, "It's just troublesome, my lord, and you're going to take us with you again!" ”

When he arrived in the living room, Du Tong asked people to invite guests in, only to see that the other party was dressed in a black robe, which made Jiang Xiaoyu's heart tighten, could it be that this person was the person sent by the third prince? I didn't feel a little more murderous on my body, and I turned my head to glance at Yang Xing and Wu Qian, who were also covered with cold murderous intent.

The movement of the person who came was very fast, and he strode into the hall, and as he approached, the murderous aura in the eyes of the three of them became more and more intense, and they were ready to fight.

The visitor paused, then took off his black robe, revealing a face that was too familiar to be familiar anymore.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Xiaoyu said in surprise.

The corners of Zhao Ling's mouth hooked, and his eyes looked at Jiang Xiaoyu's figure deeply: "I miss you, just come and take a look!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu's heartbeat accelerated by Zhao Ling's scorching gaze, and he was a little embarrassed, he bit his lip, revealing the posture of a little daughter, trotted in front of Zhao Ling, and looked at her from head to toe: "Why is this ghostly look?" ”

"I finished the things that His Majesty explained, and I rushed over, I never returned to Beijing to resume my life, and my whereabouts along the way were kept secret, so I naturally had to be hidden!" Zhao Yan pinched Jiang Xiaoyu's face, "On the way, I heard the black armor guard talk about what you did, you did a good job, you deserve to be my Zhao Ling's woman!" ”

Woman? Zhao Ling?

Du Tong was shocked one after another, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Royal Highness has seen the prince!" ”

"Get up!" Zhao Ling said lightly, and sat down on the top with Jiang Xiaoyu, and his gestures were difficult to hide, "I heard what Lord Du did, took the lead in donating food, and solved the urgent need for the imperial court, this move can be an example for the officials of the whole country, the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world, these words Lord Du can afford it!" ”

"Don't dare! Can't! Du Tong clenched his fists and said weakly, "It's all up to the three princes...... It is all thanks to the tips of the three heroes that the lower officials can do more things that are useful to the court, which is really ashamed! ”

"Lord Du doesn't have to be arrogant, he will naturally be rewarded for his merits, and the practice of wanting to come to Lord Du is already known to the government and the opposition!" Zhao Ling said lightly, "When the war is over, this reward will naturally be indispensable to you!" ”

"Shame! Ashamed! ”

Zhao Ling pulled Jiang Xiaoyu to stand in front of him, looked at her and said, "It's dark, it's thin!" Now it's more like a tomboy, this dance dress is worn on you, it really feels like a man dressing up as a woman! ”

"Anyway, the son of the world is better than Huajiao, what does it matter if I am black and thin!" Jiang Xiaoyu said on his mouth, but he was distressed in his heart, although Zhao Ling was extravagant, but he was a lot thinner, the cyan under his eyes showed exhaustion, and his lips were cyan scum, and the whole person looked a little haggard and rough.

Zhao Ling hooked the corners of his mouth, grabbed Jiang Xiaoyu's hand, glanced at Yang Xing and Wu Qian again, and said with a smile: "These two girls are your new sisters?" ”

"Don't make fun of your subordinates!" Yang Xingsheng said unlovely, originally thought that only the three of them knew about this, and they knew that the prince would suddenly appear, but he was afraid that he would not be able to escape this nightmare in the future!

Wu Qian didn't care, leaning against the edge of the pillar with his sword, he didn't look at Zhao Ling, and he didn't know where he was looking.

Zhao Ling had never seen Wu Gan, and probably guessed Wu Gan's identity, so he didn't dare to continue to joke, so he got up and hugged his fists and said, "Zhao Ling has seen Senior Brother!" ”

Wu Qian turned his face and nodded lightly, as if he had said hello, as cold as a piece of ice.

"My senior brother has been too tired lately, he is not like this on weekdays!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Zhao Ling didn't seem to mind Wu Qian's coldness very much, and continued to smile: "Senior brother can protect Xiaoyu all the way, Zhao Ling is grateful!" ”

"She is my junior sister, and protecting her is what I should do!" After Wu Qian finished speaking lightly, he flew away.

Jiang Xiaoyu was confused, pulled Zhao Ling's sleeve and asked, "Did you sin against my senior brother before?" ”

"No way, we're meeting for the first time today!" Zhao Ling shrugged helplessly, "He may simply dislike me!" If anyone goes to Yang'er in the future, I won't give that kid a good look! ”

"That's right!" Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly realized.

Zhao Ling's arrival made what Jiang Xiaoyu and they were about to do more smoothly, and Du Tong's mood was even more complicated, it turned out that he was forced to do things out of helplessness, so as not to be really killed, and now Zhao Ling's words made him really have a feeling of atoning for his crimes, maybe there is really a glimmer of life, so he was helpless before, but now he has become active in doing things.

"A lot of things need Du Tong to mediate, his northwest power distribution is complicated, and there are some things that only he can do!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "So this person can't be killed, but this person's nature is a wall grass, so he can't help but look at it!" ”

"It doesn't hurt to keep it!" Zhao Ling said lightly, "Now is an extraordinary time, after all, people are needed to do things, and the same is true for those officials who do things for the Cardinal Sect, they can't all be dealt with in the same way, they can't all be dealt with at the same time, which will complicate the processing speed of things in the northwest, and now for those officials who are not guilty of death, it is the time to redeem their merits, they will only work hard to save their lives, and for those who know that there is no way to live, they may do a battle of trapped beasts, the purpose of my trip is these people!" It's up to me to do things that are inconvenient for you to do here, and I'll take care of whatever happens! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu snuggled in Zhao Ling's arms and regained a familiar feeling: "Suddenly I have something to rely on, I feel that I am not afraid of anything now!" ”

Zhao Ling's eyes were dark and silent for a while, and he began to take off Jiang Xiaoyu's clothes.

Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly grabbed his collar and glared at Zhao Ling warningly: "What do you want to do!" ”
