"The weather is different these days. The air was hot and the sunset was like blood. The density of dragonflies and the condensation of clouds beyond the horizon are all signs of an approaching hurricane. Chen Sheng frowned and said: "Central Fujian is originally a hurricane-prone area every year, but since the spring of this year, central Fujian has been dry and rainless, and the climate is abnormal. If a hurricane comes, the wind and precipitation will be terrible, so I don't let the fishing boats go out to sea just in case. Chen Sheng smiled bitterly, the way he identified a hurricane was a dirt method, and the accuracy rate was very low. But for some reason, since the great drought in Fujian, he has decided in his heart that Fujian will inevitably be hit by a round of hurricanes and floods in the next time. To this end, Chen Shengguang built a dam, strengthened the river defense, exchanged sea salt and paper for a large amount of food and medicine, and stockpiled it in case of emergency.

"And when is this hurricane coming?" Ji Bu tied up his wet hair, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"I don't know. Maybe it will come, maybe it won't. Chen Sheng spread his hands and said helplessly: "Even if this hurricane comes, it may not make landfall near Dongye, Minzhong County is so big, any place may be the route that the hurricane will take." However, when a hurricane arrives, the impact of the storm is huge, and this is what we should be wary of. ”

Ling Zhu'er nodded again and again, and she echoed: "The birds and beasts have also been restless these days, and I think it's also because of the abnormal weather. ”

Chen Sheng and Ji Bu were convinced of Ling Zhu'er's words. Chen Sheng thought for a while, and then said to Ji Bu: "I'm looking for you to come over, and there is one more thing for you to do." ”

"Your Excellency, please speak." Ji Bu saw that Chen Sheng's expression appeared solemn, and his tone became steady.

"A few days ago, I received news from Xianyang, saying that the imperial court will soon use another position for me, although it is not specific what the position is, but it is related to leading the troops." Chen Sheng said with a frown. This news was conveyed to him by Fusu through the channel as quickly as possible. The news of Fusu was obtained from the henchmen who were planted in the military department, and the content was not detailed. But Fusu was a shrewd man, and from the information obtained by the imperial court recently, he sorted out several possibilities, believing that the military was ready to let Chen Sheng lead the army to support the south.

"War?" When Ji Bu heard this, he immediately became interested and said, "My lord, you want to take me there!" "Stuffy in the sun at the seaside salt field all day long, Jibu can't stand this boring and monotonous day for a long time. Especially recently, when he had nothing to do, he concentrated his subordinates and carried out special training in the way taught by Chen Sheng, and now Ji Bu is no longer the unlucky bandit leader who was easily captured and put down by Chen Sheng alone.

"What is there to be happy about fighting!" Chen Sheng rolled his eyes and said, "If it's a southern expedition, I will definitely take you there and show your skills." But before that, you can take me with me and go back to Surabaya County to help me find a few people! ”

"Who?" Jibu was a little puzzled. He knew that Chen Sheng's stay in Surabaya County was not long, and he didn't know many people.

"A few old acquaintances in Pei County." Thinking of these people, Chen Sheng felt a little pain in his head. "Xiao He, the county commander of Pei County, Zhou Chang, the county lieutenant, as well as Liu Ji, the pavilion chief of the Surabaya Pavilion, and Fan Xu, who sells dog meat."

"It turned out to be them." Ji Bu had also heard about several people. He once worked with Chen Sheng to assist Meng Yi in supporting the Soviet Union and destroyed the warehouse where Zhang Liang stored grain and grass. "If you want to summon them, a letter is enough, and there is no need for me to go in person." Jibu was a little unhappy. The few people Chen Sheng was looking for were all lower than Chen Sheng, and they even had meat and dogs, so how could he ask him to go in person? It's not that Ji Bu looks down on those people, but if he leaves Fujian and goes to Surabaya, thousands of miles away, back and forth, Chen Sheng has already led the troops to the battle, so can he catch up?

Chen Sheng smiled coldly and said, "How can it be so simple? Last year, the imperial history recommended Xiao He and others to enter Beijing as officials, but they couldn't resign. I am a small county guard, and if I can invite them, my face is bigger than the sky. Speaking of this, Chen Sheng sighed lightly and said, "If it weren't for the troubles in Fujian, I wouldn't be able to get out of the way, otherwise I would personally invite them." ”

"My lord......" Ji Bu looked surprised. Chen Sheng is thirsty for talent, he has always known. From Chen Sheng's respect for Li Zuoche's reuse of Xu Wugui, it can be known that even if he treats him, Ji Bu, who was born as a bandit, has no contempt, and can be described as a sage who does not ask about his background. But even so, Chen Sheng will not be like this, and deigns to visit people whose status and reputation are not as good as his own. Ji Bu was greatly moved in his heart, bowed to Chen Sheng, and said, "Ji Bu will definitely live up to the trust of adults." ”

Chen Sheng bowed slightly, and said after a while: "If you want to come, you must treat me respectfully, and treat me like a brother." If you don't come, don't be embarrassed, give a generous gift, and wait for me to take care of it myself in the future......" After saying that, Chen Sheng didn't even notice that there was something gloomy in his tone.

In Chen Sheng's view, Liu Ji, Xiao He, and Fan are all the same. All of them are potential huge threats to Great Qin. The ability of these people has been read by Chen Sheng in the history books. Although it is still poor today, but Jin Lin is a thing in the pool, and the wind and clouds are dragons, what Chen Sheng wants to do now is to control these heroic figures before they have made their mark, if they can't be controlled, Chen Sheng doesn't mind finding a reason to eradicate them. It's just that Chen Sheng knows better that he is a key player in this history, the first bird in history, that is "Chen Sheng"! It is also for this reason that Chen Sheng hesitated and did not make a decision.

"Yes." Ji Bu didn't find anything wrong with Chen Sheng. Only Ling Zhu'er's face was different. Ling Zhu'er felt extremely keen, and the cold murderous intent in Chen Sheng's heart did not hide her feelings.

"Liu Ji, Xiao He ......" Ling Zhu'er remembered silently in her heart. She thought that if the adults really wanted to take the lives of these people, she would definitely kill them in the first place. In Ling Zhu'er's opinion, Chen Sheng is a peerless good person, and anyone Chen Sheng wants to kill will not be a good person. Although she still doesn't understand that sometimes, to kill someone, you don't necessarily need hatred, or whether that person is good or bad.

Ji Bu seems to be rough, but he is actually as meticulous as a hair. Be bold and generous. Chen Sheng decided to send him to Surabaya to help him recruit those people after several selections. After instructing Ji Bu, Chen Sheng asked Lingzhu'er: "Lingzhu'er, where did Brother Zuoche go?" ”

"With Uncle No Ghost, it should be on the embankment outside the city." Lingzhu'er thought for a while and said.

"Let's go, call Fan Jiao, and we'll go out of the city to see how the embankment is repaired." Chen Sheng said.
