In the garden of the Zheng Mansion in Chao County, there was a sound of footsteps.

The "head of the family" bowed to Zheng Bao, who was sitting in the small pavilion looking at the chessboard in a daze.

Zheng Bao put the black chess pieces in his hand back, and smiled in the direction where the voice came from: "It's Lian Zhong."

"I wonder who the head of the house is playing chess with?" Zheng Lianzhong asked respectfully.

Zheng Bao pointed to the seat opposite: "Come and sit"

"Master Xie" Zheng Lianzhong replied immediately, and then walked to the small pavilion.

Looking at Zheng Lianzhong, who was respectfully sitting in the seat, Zheng Bao asked out loud: "What happened in the palace during this time?" ”

"The news just came that Ge Po Yellow Turban attacked Shouchun, and the assassin Shi ordered Lu Taishou to send troops to help" Zheng Lianzhong replied cautiously.

Zheng Bao was stunned for a moment, and jumped up from his seat: "Is this true?" ”

"Don't dare to deceive, three thousand county soldiers have already gathered in Shu County, the county capital, and they will definitely rush to Shouchun in three days at the latest," Zheng Lianzhong said in a firm tone.

Zheng Bao let out a long laugh: "Okay, good"

"I think my Zheng family has been in Chao County for a hundred years, although it is quite famous, but it is not in the world. Now that the majesty of the imperial court is withering day by day, it is the time for my generation to overcome obstacles," Zheng Bao said happily, as if he was spitting out decades of grudges.

Zheng Lianzhong was shocked, and then a glimmer of expectation faintly appeared: "Are you going to start?" ”

"No, there is still one last step, we want Chaohu but we can't want a dilapidated Chaohu. It must not be because of occupying Chaohu Lake and hurting the foundation that is not thick," Zheng Bao replied without thinking, and the speed of his heartbeat quietly accelerated.

Then he picked up a black chess piece and put it on the chessboard, and a faint murderous aura spread.

Zheng Lianzhong looked at the chessboard, a look of horror flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously blurted out: "Could it be that the head of the family wants to?" ”

"Yellow Turban, Gepo Yellow Turban" Zheng Bao spit out these words heavily.

Luring wolves into the house, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, this is to be the yellow finch. Zheng Lianzhong figured out the deep meaning almost instantly: "With the power of the Yellow Turban, kill the White Sail Water Thieves?" ”

"Is it too risky for the head of the family and the fornication of the yellow scarf?" Zheng Lianzhong asked, his tone full of solemnity.

Zheng Bao asked rhetorically: "Isn't what we are doing now risky?" ”

"But Ge Po Yellow Turban is outside Shouchun City, how can we let them go to Chaohu," Zheng Lianzhong asked.

Zheng Bao picked up a chess piece again and put it in his hand to play: "There are no soldiers and horses from my Chao County this time?" You must know that those people are my Zheng clan's disciples."

"Privately release the yellow scarf through Shouchun?" Zheng Lianzhong gasped.

Zheng Bao shook his head: "The big thing has not been accomplished, I don't dare to be so frivolous, I just let a partial division come in." As long as they cooperate, we can do it quietly."

"Think twice about the head of the family" Zheng Lianzhong said bitterly, pinning his hopes on the basis of the Yellow Turban's obedient cooperation, which was no different from failure.

Zheng Bao replied in a firm tone: "I have already asked people to deal with this matter, but it will take some time"

"You must know that my Chaoxian Zheng family is not muddy," Zheng Bao finished speaking, and a sense of pride spread.

Zheng Lianzhong showed a serious expression: "Since the head of the family has made up his mind, I will naturally follow the order."

"You don't have to do anything, just firmly grasp the military power of Chao County" Zheng Bao said this, and the words changed: "The elite of Lujiang County is exhausted, this is a God-given opportunity for the Zheng family of Chao County, and it must not be missed"

"Nuo" Zheng Lianzhong respectfully accepted the order, thinking of the scene after occupying Chaohu Lake, his whole body was full of blood.

Hurried footsteps came, and a guard walked quickly: "Lord Qiqi, the envoy of the evil wave and water thief has arrived"

"Let him in" Zheng Bao subconsciously frowned, as if he had forgotten a very important matter, but he couldn't think of anything.

A strong man with a tiger's back and a round waist walked into the small pavilion, although he was dressed as a civilian, he could not hide the murderous aura on his body: "Meet the master of the house"

"What happened?" Zheng Bao asked the strong man.

The strong man hesitated slightly, but finally said slowly: "Why hasn't the money allocated by the head of the family yet arrived?" ”

"What?" Zheng Bao was stunned: "Didn't I send someone to send the money to that stronghold a month ago?" ”

The strong man was stunned: "Stronghold? ”

"But those scattered water thieves who have been co-opted, the strongholds where they gather," the strong man asked.

Zheng Bao's brows furrowed a little: "There was an accident? ”

"That stronghold disappeared half a month ago, wasn't it removed by the head of the family?" The strong man asked rhetorically.

A cloud of anger rose in Zheng Bao's heart: "How can this be reasonable, they dare to abscond with money"

"Run? This, how is this possible" The strong man exclaimed, he was busy and dizzy during this time, thinking that it was the most normal thing to send money in a month. But now it seems that it has been divided by those water thieves.

It's really bold to do such a thing when the head of the family and the water village have no time to take care of him.

"No" Zheng Bao seemed to think of something, and immediately shook his head: "It is impossible for them to betray"

The strong man was a little confused: "What does the head of the house mean?"

"Is that stronghold very close to Changhe Village?" Zheng Bao thought of the news he got a month ago and asked without thinking.

The strong man showed a puzzled gaze, but Zheng Lianzhong took over and replied to Zheng Bao: "It is indeed very close to Changhe Village."

"It's strange to say, Jia's money has already been swept away, why does Changhe Village have such strong financial resources, buy materials and hire people to build and build" Zheng Lianzhong thought of the purchase of weapons and the hiring of a construction team, and let out a sigh of emotion.

Zheng Bao was stunned for a moment and then understood, his anger surged, and he immediately ordered: "After you go back, select two hundred elites for me and destroy Nachanghe Village."

"Wait" Zheng Lianzhong hurriedly interrupted Zheng Bao's words: "At this time, you can't dispatch the elite of the evil waves, it is the best policy to use those sporadic water thieves, after all, the soldiers and horses of Lujiang County have not completely left"

"Okay, just do it according to Lian Zhong's wishes" Zheng Bao gritted his teeth and said viciously, maybe the rat trap was talking about the current situation.

Damn Changhe Village, they must have done it, otherwise how to explain the fact that the financial resources are abundant.

There was a hint of murderous intent in the strong man's eyes, and he hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "No"

Since these people dare to fight the gold of the Evil Wave Water Village, then they must be prepared to bear the wrath.

Looking at the back of the strong man leaving, Zheng Lianzhong also saluted Zheng Bao: "There are still some things in the county, so I resign."

"Let's go" Zheng Bao nodded slowly, his gaze falling on the chessboard in front of him.

Zheng Lianzhong got up and strode outside the small pavilion.

Now that the big thing is coming, it seems that it will be busy for a while. After more than ten years of painstaking planning, it is time for a bumper harvest.
