The grass and trees on the mountain are flourishing, and there are many mosquitoes, after Qiu Yi walked back to his residence, the mosquitoes that had been sucked by blood on his body bit more than a dozen bulges, which was really unbearable, scratching his ears and cheeks.

He saw that Wen Lingjiao was the only one in the room reading an unknown book by the light, so he took off his shirt, revealing a body of white flesh decorated with little red lumps, and beckoned: "Lingjiao, come and scratch me." ”

Wen Lingjiao smiled, put down the book, and walked up slowly, a pair of jade hands rested behind Qiu Yizhi's back, so that the muscles on Qiu Yi's back involuntarily shrugged, and said: "You are really, now that the poisonous insects have come out, there is a good house here, I sent someone to light wormwood around, and there is not a single mosquito." You prefer to work in the gazebo, and you have been bitten so many swollen bunks...... You really deserve it! ”

Qiu Yizhi frowned and said: "I originally thought that the mountain could be a little cooler, but I didn't expect it to be much cooler than in Luoyang City." On such a hot day, the house is already stuffy, and if you order Ai again, can you still live in it? ”

Wen Lingjiao sighed softly and said, "It would be nice if He'er was here, she knows how to prepare a potion and sprinkle it on the borders of the doors and windows of the house, and no flies and mosquitoes dare to come in." It's that she doesn't know where she is now......"

Qiu Yizhi saw that Wen Lingjiao seemed to have some grievances between her eyebrows, so she smiled and said, "Didn't I listen to your orders and give her to Li Shengjie?" She is now following Li Shengjie, I don't know whether she is at sea or enjoying happiness in Dongying, only others serve her, and she will never serve others again. It's a great place to be, why aren't you satisfied? ”

Wen Lingjiao said faintly: "She has to be relieved, it's too late for me to envy, how can I be dissatisfied?" But you, who promised to return to the countryside with me, now get this mosquito mountain to live, and keep doing things every day to meet people, do you want to fool me like this? As he spoke, he patted Qiu Yi on the shoulder with his hand.

Qiu Yi stretched out his hand, held Wen Lingjiao's hand, and said, "I don't know how many people I have deceived in my life, but I haven't deceived you." I also wanted to be a free hermit in my heart, but I offended too many people in order to avenge my father-in-law and third brother before, so I retired without proper arrangements, and I was not a free hermit, but a scared fugitive. ”

Qiu Yizhi's words did make some sense, Wen Lingjiao listened, her thin white teeth couldn't help biting her lower lip, and asked, "I just don't know what kind of proper arrangement method is going to be?" ”

Qiu Yizhi pondered: "I have almost arranged it on the military and political side. Eleven of my eighteen bandit soldiers survived, and one hundred and fifteen of the two hundred township warrior regiments survived. One in the south and one in the north, Lingnan Dao sent the left general Wei Hu to guard the town, Wei Hu is old, although he is not completely obedient to me, fortunately, Zheng Xin offended him a lot, and it was very reassuring to send him. Youyan Dao is now empty of troops, I plan to arrange the soldiers and horses that Zheng Xin raised in Shanshan to Youyan Road after breaking up the establishment, and let Zhao Chengxiao take command, so as to solve the problem of henchmen, and enrich the troops in northern Xinjiang, the best of both worlds. Zhao Chengxiao is his own person, after we retire, maybe we can go to Youyan to live for a few days......"

Wen Lingjiao listened to Qiu Yizhi talk about Youyan Dao, she was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "What about the son that the county lord gave birth to you?" Do you want to go to Youyan Road too? ”

Qiu Yizhi is a smart person, and he tasted the sourness in Wen Lingjiao's words, and he also knew that it was more difficult to relieve this jealousy between women than to win a few big battles, so he didn't hear the meaning of her words, and said to himself: "Dali Khan thinks that by holding Yiran's mother and son in his hands, he can blackmail me and lend me soldiers and horses with peace of mind." But he didn't expect that his 20,000 elite horsemen had become my hostage. Now the grain and grass of the Bohai Iron Cavalry are supplied by me, and as long as the grain is cut off for three days, they can only kill the horses and feed themselves. When the time comes, Dali can only exchange Yiran's mother and son for 20,000 horses with me. Although these iron cavalry were his own, it was quite worthwhile to exchange a pair of women and children for these 20,000 cavalry. ”

Wen Lingjiao was originally a little jealous, but when she heard Qiu Yizhi say this, she felt a chill in her heart: one was a female companion who grew up with his childhood sweetheart, and the other was his only son in the world.

Qiu Yizhi continued to talk endlessly: "I was born in the army, so naturally there is no big problem with the armament, but the foundation in the civil service is too shallow. The minds of the scholars are too detailed, some of them have soft bones, some have hard bones, and I can't hold any of the high-ranking officials who are doing things now, except for Mr. Lin. Thinking that after the emperor ascended to the pole, he opened a new imperial examination, let Mr. Lin be the chief examiner, recruit a new scholar to enter the court, and slowly promote it, no matter how fast it is, it will take three or four years. At this time, I can only temporarily use the old man from the previous dynasty. ”

He folded his hands again and counted: "Zheng Tinghang is a good person, but he is too upright, and he may not be convinced by me, I will promote him first, and then I will force him to resign and retire when I have a suitable candidate, or find an idle person to raise him." Huang Wangang was recommended by me, and after being a governor for a year and a half, he was promoted to be a assassin, a scholar or something. Xu Rong was originally Zheng Xin's disciple, although he was loyal to me on the surface, but secretly he didn't know what kind of heart he was, this person can't be reused, nor can he be punished at will, just find an opportunity to transfer him to an idle man with no real power. Shi Liangzhi is the person I don't look down on the most, but at the moment there is still the funeral of the righteous father to be done, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony to be done, and he is indispensable, only to use it first, and wait for someone to replace him, see how I clean him up! Yang Shangzhang can't stay in Lingnan Dao, I want to transfer him to the center immediately, his son Yang Jin is still in my hands, if they let their father and son reunite, they should be somewhat grateful to me, right? Most of the people in the dead Third Brother's Mansion are of the same mind as me, and they can be used, but they can't be completely relieved, it's difficult...... It will take another three or four years for all these people to be screened and then replaced......"

"It's going to take another three or four years...... Wen Lingjiao sighed, "After this time, I will probably be able to resign and go into hiding, right?" ”

Qiu Yizhi said: "At that time, the court and the civil and military officials are all my people, and I will depose Zheng Qi." ”

"What? What did you say? Wen Lingjiao was taken aback when she heard this, "You said you want to depose the emperor?" ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded and said, "That's right, Zheng Qi is Zheng Xin's son after all, and he hates me to the core, but he doesn't have military power in his hands now and no cronies around him." As soon as he ascended to the pole, he would get married, and after giving birth to a son, he would be raised by Mrs. Xiao Qin. In another three or five years, I will find a reason, depose him, and make his son emperor, so that we can ......"

"Three years later...... Another three years...... Another three years...... As soon as you say it, you don't know how many years have passed, and when the time comes, you really don't know what to do......" Wen Lingjiao's tone was light and cold, like a bowl of mountain spring water that had just followed.

Qiu Yizhi was speechless, and his thoughts slowly drifted to three, six, and ten years ago, thinking that he was still ...... at that time

Gradually, he settled down, as if his soul had been drained of his soul, and even the lamps and candles that were close at hand had forgotten to be lit, but still slowly spread from the darkness, and in a short time all the light in the room was swallowed up.

Finish.
