But this does not count the strength of [Jinggongzhuang] and independent territories.

At present, no independent territory has been established. As long as it is promoted to the second level of the first class, plus one class of Jinggongzhuang, at least the problem of the arms of the two armies can be solved, and it can be determined that all of them are powerful troops, which is probably slightly inferior to the forbidden army.

But now I have to do the emperor's task first, anyway, I have enough soldiers, and I can't use the task, so I don't need to upgrade in a hurry.

was about to go to find Ma Yuanyi, when suddenly the forbidden army came to report that the holy decree had arrived. I hurriedly took the order.

The decree is very brief: I forgot, and now I have appointed Xiong Er as a special envoy to sell officials, responsible for selling the third prince to Yuan Kui.

It was Zhang Rang who delivered the message.

"Your Majesty asked our family to tell the general that Yuan Kui, the position of the third prince, will make up for the vacancy of the captain. The current price of Taiwei is 10 grass coins. The general, as the handler, can get a 10% commission.

After finishing the work, he sent the money from the sale of officials to the palace. The general's commission will be given by His Majesty after entering the palace. ”

After saying this, Zhang Rang grinned and mingled with me. It seems that Zhang Rang has decided that I am his own person. Coupled with the fact that I am now a celebrity of both the emperor and Ma Yuanyi, he is even closer.

After a few pleasantries, Zhang Rang said goodbye and went back to recover his life, while I went to the yamen of the traitor.

This incident brought me closer to the emperor as a teacher. It seems that in order to support Xiong Er, the emperor has made a bloody investment. You know, I was just a wooden coin before, which already made me very complacent.

One wooden coin is equivalent to 10,000 tin coins. And one grass coin is equivalent to 10,000 wooden coins. In such a short period of time, I have unknowingly completed a big leap in the game currency reserves, and for a long time in the future, I don't have to worry about the cost of territory upgrades.

When I arrived at the official seller's yamen, the officials were all old acquaintances, and they enthusiastically took me in. Knowing that I bought the title directly from the emperor, these guys congratulated and were a little disappointed at the same time.

After all, if the traitor passes through their hands, just like I am now, there will definitely be a commission. But the emperor directly saved this money, so they were embarrassed.

And when I took out the decree and read it, these guys were even more mournful. The income of one grass coin is only ten grass coins when you buy three gongs, which shows the significance of this grass coin to these officials.

But they were only momentarily distracted, and soon became enthusiastic about me again. Just kidding, money can be made at any time, offending the Bodhisattva Xiong Er, but I can't eat and walk around.

And about ten minutes later, Yuan Kui also arrived.

Although Yuan Kui is a big official, the official yamen represents the emperor, so we sit firmly in Diaoyutai as usual, but Yuan Kui came up and bowed, and his attitude was very modest and sincere.

"My lords, the contemptible people have prepared 20 grass coins, I don't know which official the emperor wants to sell to the contemptible people?"

A large number of decaying people in the official yamen immediately smiled: "Lord Yuan, please take a seat, this Lord Xiong is a special envoy sent by the Holy Lord, I heard Lord Xiong say that the Holy Lord is going to sell Lord Yuan to the post of Captain Yuan this time." ”

My mind is racing:

"Lord Yuan, the Holy Lord said that he is very happy with you. Since the money has been brought, let's prepare paperwork for Lord Yuan, so that Lord Yuan can take office quickly. In the future, I still need a lot of support from Lord Yuan. Whoever is who, take the money and go. ”

All the people who sold the official yamen immediately moved. I didn't say that I would take less, so I naturally agreed that they would take more, and since I was overcharged, it would definitely be indispensable to their benefits.

Soon received the money to the clerks, the formalities were completed, and Yuan Kui left with his leave. Before parting, Yuan Kui repeatedly invited me to his house to sit down. I said yes and said I'd go when I had time.

Next, I asked the usual sales officer how these guys would take a cut. Just listen to one official:

"In the past, it was according to the 10% commission, this time if the adult wants to reward us, one grass coin is enough, and the other grass coin, of course, should belong to the adult."

I nodded, "Okay, this grass coin belongs to you." ”

After speaking, among the 20 grass coins handed over by the officials, he picked out one and threw it to the chief officer, and then took his leave and left.

After another ten minutes, he saw the emperor for the second time. Immediately presented 19 grass coins: "Shengshang, Yuan Kui brought 20 grass coins to buy officials, and Weichen gave a grass coin to the official yamen in accordance with the rules, and here are the remaining 19 grass coins." ”

As soon as the emperor saw the extra 9 grass coins, he immediately smiled: "Very good, Aiqing is very good at doing things." In this case, I also follow the rules, and these two grass coins belong to Aiqing. Aiqing enriched the treasury with nine more grass coins, which was really hard. But I don't have anything to reward Aiqing for the time being. Aiqing will settle first. ”

What more could I be greedy for now? Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Xiong Er, it was the emperor's whim, and he was determined to let me make a small fortune of grass coins, and then Yuan Kui cooperated with the officials to let me make a small fortune of grass coins.

These are all gold ingots falling from the sky, and it is time to be content.

So I happily bid farewell to the emperor and went directly to Zhang Rang.

"Zhang Changshi, I'm looking for Ma Shuai, how do I find it?"

Seeing that I was in a hurry and knew that the matter was urgent, Zhang Rang immediately took out a pigeon from his house, wrote a note and tied it to his feet, and let it go.

Three minutes later, the pigeon flew back.

"Ma Shuai asked you to wait for him in the barracks, and he came to you."

When I received the faith, my heart was reassured. Soon back to the barracks. As soon as he sat down, Ma Yuanyi came in.

This man is really elusive, when the entire forbidden army is like no one. I have made up my mind that I will not provoke this person in any way in the future, otherwise it will be a very dangerous thing.

So I honestly explained how to go to the emperor, how the emperor talked to me, and how he asked me to do the task of killing Hou Xi. At the same time, I also told Ma Yuanyi that even telling him the truth was the emperor's intention.

After Ma Yuanyi heard my words, he was also stunned.

The yellow scarf is not an ordinary person, whether it is Zhang Jiao or Ma Yuanyi, they all know that the emperor is different from the emperor in the eyes of the world, so even Zhang Rang understands this, but in any case, Ma Yuanyi never imagined that the problem that the emperor thinks about will be so far-reaching.

Even the ball kicked by the emperor turned out to be so difficult to receive.

"So, even when you killed Wan Mazi and Xu Kun, did he know everything?"

"Yes, it is. He also knows Ma Shuai and Zhang Changshi, and even the Feng Yu that I don't know, he knows. ”

Ma Yuanyi was shocked into a cold sweat:

"It's terrible, what kind of person is this Liu Hong? Fortunately, for the time being, he is still reluctant to touch us. And this time, he made his words clear, and clearly asked us to help, which is to give us a signal that he sincerely hopes to cooperate.

In that case, we still have to help with this. Otherwise, if he is annoyed, I'm afraid the yellow scarf won't be able to mix in the future. ”

I nodded and said, "Ma Shuai has analyzed it." I'll go back later, like the last time I killed Xu Kun, everyone dressed up as a yellow scarf, and killed Hou Xi first. ”

Ma Yuanyi shook his head and said:

"No, I can't. That would be too risky. At present, your importance in the yellow scarf has surpassed that of me Ma Yuanyi. I'm going to tell you about it.

That's right, the great sage and good teacher are preparing to start the incident in March of the year of Jiazi, and it is only three months now. Therefore, the great virtuous and good teacher appointed himself as the general of Tiangong, and also appointed seven generals, collectively known as the eight generals of the Yellow Turban. ”

"Yellow Turban Eight Generals?" I couldn't help but be interested. I have only heard that the Yellow Turban has three generals, namely, the Heavenly Father, the Earth Father, and the Human Father, but I have never heard of the Eight Generals.

"Yes, the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the Zhang family will come out, and the avenue will be prosperous. Therefore, the eight Zhang members in the Yellow Turban were naturally appointed as the eight generals.

Among them, General Tiangong is a great virtuous teacher, General Zhang Liang of Digong, and General Zhang Bao of Rengong are the three generals on the bright side. The other five generals are all in the dark and are responsible for different things. ”

"Who are the other five generals? Who can I know? ”
