Castle Lord's Mansion.

Today's City Lord's Mansion is a little different, the feeling of being busy and busy, full of people in a hurry, clerks, captains, going back and forth. It felt like something big was about to happen.

Nangong Sima was received not long after the report. That's more than double the speed of the last time.

"Lord of the Castle." Nangong Sima stood in front of the old man with a smile.

The city lord Locke was signing the documents, and the three heralds were waiting by his side, he was busy reading the documents, he looked up at Nangong Sima and said, "You can sit casually, and I will deal with it as soon as I wait for a while." As he spoke, he buried himself in the paper again.

Nangong Sima casually turned around, and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window, the army was gathering on the playground outside, although it was a squad, but it was still a different rhythm from usual.

Look at these heralds again, if it were a normal thing, there shouldn't be so many heralds, what is the big thing in the city that deserves to mobilize so many people?

Locke finished signing the papers, and the heralds were gone.

"I've kept you waiting...... Locke got up and poured two glasses of wine, and while handing Nangong Sima a glass, he had already taken a sip and said with a smile: "Forgive me for my faux pas, I'm really busy, I'm too thirsty." ”

Nangong Sima had an idea and asked, "I've never seen you so busy, I don't know if there is any place I can help you lighten your burden?" If so, you're welcome, I'll be happy to help! "It's the biggest support for us, thank you!

Nodding, Locke finished drinking and poured another glass before sitting down and said with a smile: "I don't doubt your loyalty, and I appreciate your ability to do things, but, President Sima, this matter is indeed not something you can help with." ”

"Well, then I understand, about confidential things, I have always respected and dare not expect extravagantly, hehe."

Locke said with a smile: "Chairman Sima, to make a long story short, I called you this time because the situation has changed, the border war has broken out again, and the military department wants to transfer some troops to supplement the front line, so the plan to develop the southern suburbs may have to be changed." ”

Nangong Sima's face remained unchanged, and he asked, "Then how exactly will it change, and is there already a plan?" ”

Locke paused and said: "My idea is that there will be conflicts on the border at any time, and this is not a problem that can be solved by a war, but the development of the southern suburbs is a major matter related to the welfare of the country, and if it is delayed because of this, it will not be worth the loss." Coupled with the transfer of troops, the expenditure is a huge amount, and once the soldiers of the Hesg Legion are transferred, won't the development plan be in vain? ”

Nangong Sima took out the multicolored gem from his pocket and handed it over, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "This is what my people found when they were digging the mining cave, none of us are qualified to have it, give it to the city lord, your light is equipped with such a dazzling gem to complement each other." ”

"Oh, the Colorful Jewels!" Locke looked at it in amazement, but did not pick it up, looked at it with delight, and said, "It is indeed a good thing, and it is the third time I have seen it, how beautiful...... However, President Sima, I can't accept this thing, especially at this critical moment. ”

Nangong Sima smiled and said, "I have some opinions on the question you just said. He did not continue the topic of gems, and said: "The border trouble is a very powerful consumption machine, if the border war continues, we will have to send a steady stream of troops and supplies from other places to support the front line, in that case, it will be a great loss to the country and the locality." ”

"At the same time, there is still a war on the border, and those soldiers are cutting down trees and trees, I'm afraid they won't be able to work in peace, and we need to spend on both sides at the same time, a month or two, a year or two? We don't have that much financial backing. ”

"Therefore, it is my opinion to transfer all the Hesg regiments to the front line, and do their best to destroy the enemy and make the general environment peaceful. And then go back and develop again. ”

Locke waited quietly for Nangong Sima to finish speaking before he said, "I have also considered what you said, but the war cannot end in a moment and a half." What about the development of things during this time? If we don't need 1,200 men, where will the money come from? How to solve it with technology? ”

"Report!" Suddenly there was a report outside the door.

Locke pulled a book open and covered it with multicolored gems, and said, "Come in!" ”

A herald and a clerk came in from outside the door, handing over the documents and reports respectively, Locke read them carefully, signed, and the two went out one after another to close the door.

"Either way, the army stays in the southern suburbs to continue development, but the morale problem needs to be solved," Locke said. Also, the supplies will be halved, and I'm tired enough of dealing with the front here. Or, all the troops will be transferred and the southern suburbs will be put on hold. ”

Nangong Sima thought for a while and said, "Lord City Lord, you see, if the army stays in the southern suburbs, they don't have the heart to continue their work, they all want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, the efficiency will be very low, and they will keep consuming supplies. If the supply is halved again, wouldn't it be easier to cause trouble? ”

"If all the troops are transferred to the front line, all the problems can be solved, all their supplies will be solved by the military department, and they can also kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone."

"Then the southern suburbs will be shelved?" Locke asked.

"Look, you can't do that." Nangong Sima said tentatively, "The army is transferred to the front line, and the southern suburbs are temporarily handed over to me to develop, and when the army returns victoriously, I will return it to the past, so that the military situation on the border will not be delayed, and the progress of the southern suburbs will not be delayed for too long, and neither side will be delayed, how about it?" ”

Locke pondered and said, "Good is good, but ...... Let me tell you the truth, President Sima, my supplies here are enough to support the front line, and if you want me to allocate some of them to provide you with the development of the southern suburbs, it will be impossible. ”

Nangong Sima smiled: "I understand your difficulties, but I am developing the southern suburbs for the country and the people, and I am a small president, I have no blood, and I can't be turned into a real thing, Lord City, you have to support a little, otherwise everyone will be cold." ”

Locke smiled: "So you see, my solution is to transfer the army and put it on hold in the southern suburbs, won't this not waste supplies, and will not add to your burden." ”

Your uncle, it's so dark, sooner or later I'll get you on the stage!

Nangong Sima said with a smile: "What do you say, my lord, such a good project, for the benefit of the country, how can you give up halfway." Well, I have a suggestion, how about giving us half of each? ”

"I'm afraid this half is also difficult, not only the supply difficulties, but also the transfer of the army, where to find manpower? What is lacking is a corps of 20,000 men, not 1,200 men. Locke looked at Nangong Sima and said.

Nangong Sima thought about it in embarrassment, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, for the sake of the national interest, I will let it go!" He got up and walked to Locke, took out three bags of gems and put them on the table, and said, "This is all my belongings, 300 fine gems, please help me recruit a group of soldiers, as long as you have the strength to cut down trees, you can carry wood and endure hardships, and you can recruit as many people as you want." ”

"In addition, for the supply matter, please give me a little bit of it, I personally can't bear it! I will not forget the kindness of adults! ”

Locke looked at the gem bag, sighed and said, "I am touched by President Sima's loyalty, okay, I will help you recruit it, but there is no guarantee of quality and quantity." ”

"As for supplies...... In this way, I gritted my teeth, gave up a little more, and gave you 10, this is my maximum help! The remaining difficulties need to be overcome by yourselves! ”

Your sister, such a thing is called Huazi, you wait for Lao Tzu to fork, there is a time for you to cry!

Nangong Sima smiled: "Thank you so much, my lord!" Rest assured! I will definitely do this well, and I will never disgrace the adults! After a pause, he said, "Then the Captain of the Hesg Army, I'll go and say, the adults are so busy, I will also help the adults share the burden." ”

Locke smiled: "It just so happens that I don't have time to pay attention to him, you go, talk to him on my behalf, and tell him to quickly set off in a neat line, the battle on the front line is fierce." ”

"Okay, no problem!" Nangong Sima laughed and asked tentatively: "Lord City Lord, I want to establish a teleportation array in the southern suburbs, won't there be less consumption on the road when the supplies are replenished, and I can quickly reach the camp in the southern suburbs, and I can also bring back any good things to share with the adults at any time, which is very convenient and fast." ”

"Well......" Locke hesitated and said, "It stands to reason that if the geographical level does not reach the village or town, you can't set up a teleportation array, but the southern suburbs are indeed far away...... Why don't you try it yourself, I don't have time to deal with this here, and I don't have the manpower to do it. ”

Toot toot toot! The messaging machine vibrates.

Nangong Sima hurriedly said: "Do you think this is okay, I will raise funds by myself, get the materials by myself, please send someone to help build it, so that it is convenient for everyone to come and go, and the adults will not refuse, right?" ”

"Okay, President Sima can let it go, if you need manpower, go to the department to find it yourself, and just represent me."

"Report!" Someone came outside the door again.

Nangong Sima said: "The adult is so busy, then I won't bother, go first, the adult guarantees the body, and we will contact again!" With that, Nangong Sima went out of the door under Locke's smiling gaze.

Fuck it, your sister's, what the hell is it, fuck it! Pure old fritter, garbage! Blackmail is not enough, blackmail, and cheating, you wait for Lao Tzu to get up, and kill you!

When I opened the message, it turned out to be sent by a real old wolf.

Real old wolf: Haha, Sima, I really got a job by borrowing your auspicious words! Ha ha! Heard you're in town? I just have something to look for you!

Real old wolf: Brother, where are you, I really have something important to look for you!

Nangong Sima: Haha, I'm at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, what about you?

As soon as the news was sent, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and as soon as he turned around, the real old wolf rode over on a horse in full armor, and jumped his horse not far away and ran over.

"Haha! Sima, you're really in the city! The real old wolf first pounced on him and hugged Nangong Sima, and then suddenly took his hand and walked into the distance, saying, "Come, it's convenient to talk here." ”

Nangong Sima smiled strangely: "Do you have any secrets to share?" Why are you so secretive, it's just people passing by. ”

"If you don't want to listen, you have an intention! What's more, I'm talking about big things! The real old wolf whispered in his ear and said mysteriously: "I took a job, someone wants to hand over the Red House, hire me to destroy their leveling points and mines." I thought this would make you feel free of your hatred and tell you, haha! ”

"Who has such guts?" Nangong Sima was also taken aback, looked at him and asked.

"I don't know, a small gang!"
