Chapter 166: Rush for Time
The county lieutenant Yan Xie performed a simple martial arts salute. This is the rule set by Taizu, saying that the situation on the battlefield is changing, and the fighter plane is fleeting, so the martial arts ceremony is simple.
"I've seen Jiang Shangguan." The county lieutenant made a salute, made a face, and got up, and by the way, he also liberated the city gate officials who had been standing in one posture.
"Lieutenant Yan has been 'more' polite." Jiang Siming's words are full of irony.
"It's all the Ming Mansion that leads by example." Yan Xie also took Jiang Siming's sarcasm, as if he didn't hear the sarcasm in Jiang Siming's words, but regarded Jiang Siming's words as sincere praise.
Yan Jie's current state is as if he has broken through something, and there is a momentum of not caring about anything and nothing.
"What is the matter with County Lieutenant Yan here?"
"Of course, it's patrolling, patrolling the county seat is really the profession of the county lieutenant, but I don't know how Jiang Shangguan came here. But to get out of the city? It's so late, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back when I go out, so it's better to wait for tomorrow. Yan Xie suggested.
Jiang Siming didn't want to go around in circles with Yan Xie anymore, and he was still waiting for someone.
"I'm not going out of the gates, I'm coming to pick them up."
"Pick up someone? I don't know who Jiang Shangguan wants to pick up? The mountain bandits near Yuzhang are very rampant, no, the portrait of a bandit is posted at the gate of the city. Yan Xie pointed to Zhang Jiahe's portrait, and at the same time he observed Jiang Siming's face to see if he could find something greasy.
But it's a pity that he failed.
Jiang Siming is a person who has crawled in the court.
In the big dye vat in the center, hiding your true emotions is the basic skill. Officials who fail to conceal their true emotions in everything end up leaving the Central Committee and never coming back.
The court is a forest at a high level, and the fight in the court follows the civilized version of the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest.
Jiang Siming is the one who survived.
Yan Xie couldn't read any valid news from Jiang Siming's expression. Jiang Siming's expression was not shocked, as if nothing could cause fluctuations in Jiang Siming's expression.
"Really? That Yan County Lieutenant can be regarded as a bit dereliction of duty. Taizu once stipulated that within this radius was the area that the county lieutenant Yan needed to be responsible for clearing out the mountain bandits. It is said that during the Taizu period, the mountain bandits disappeared, and the people who would be made confidants were all the ones who petty thieves and did not become mountain bandits. Why is it that now that we are in the first year of immortality, not only have we not grown, but have regressed? Lieutenant Yan has to reflect on it. ”
"Taizu is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor in the sky, then the one who follows Taizu is the Heavenly Soldier and Heavenly General, I am an ordinary man, how can I compare with the Heavenly Soldier and Heavenly General?" Yan Jie's mouth seemed to be in awe of these gods and ghosts.
But from his actual behavior, I really didn't realize his awe of gods and ghosts. If he really believes that Taizu has a spirit in the sky, he can't just talk about Taizu so easily, and he really has no sincerity at all to use Taizu as a reason to defend himself.
Jiang Siming's brows furrowed, and he disagreed with Yan Jie's words very much. And this attitude is really arrogant.
So is this time for a showdown? The situation is urgent.
……
On the other side, the Wei Wangfu of Guimin County, which is located in the southwest corner of the Great Zhou, also received news about the iron ore from the Yan clan of Tianshui.
As for why Yan Xie had just done the ideological work of the county order Yan Xie not long ago, and King Wei immediately received the news.
The reason, of course, is that Yan Xie made preparations early.
When Lin Yanxian and his party first arrived in Yuzhang County, Yan Xie was prepared for the worst. He wrote to the family early.
King Lu Bi of Wei looked at the letter on the table and hesitated.
The ore in Guimin is very rich, but the quality of iron ore is not very good. Not only is it difficult to refine, but even if it is physically examined, the knives and guns made are very brittle, and they are not suitable for weapons at all.
It is believed that the iron ore of Yuzhang is not only large in quantity but also of excellent quality.
But Yuzhang's mine is in big trouble.
Yuzhang's mine is said to have been detected by the deposed envoys sent by the little emperor. This letter is not only a dedication to the mine, but also an attempt to use his power to pass this hurdle.
So should he accept the other party's surrender?
……
Jiang Siming and Yan Xie came and went at the city gate, sneering at each other, Jiang Siming felt that Yan Xie was really worthy of being born in the Yan family of Tianshui, even if he was from martial arts, this lip of work did not fall.
Just when Jiang Siming thought that things were going to be like this, Yan Xie let Song Biqing and his party of five in.
"County Lieutenant Yan's mind is really hard to guess, I thought you were going to drag it until the city gate was closed, and then logically stopped the five people of Song Team Zheng and his party outside the door, but I didn't expect you to let people in in the end. What the hell is Captain Yan thinking? "This is about to tear his face, and Jiang Siming will not be polite to Yan Jie.
The other party has the intention of tearing his face, indicating that he has found a backer who wants to take refuge. But he still maintains a face-saving relationship with him, maybe this rescuer is still on the way.
So now it's time to fight for time and see who moves faster.
"Jiang Shangguan, what are you talking about? The solution is nothing more than being faithful. Isn't it doubtful that there has never been a special edition, especially since this one is still from Kyoto and not from Fujo? ”
"So County Lieutenant Yan has found out clearly?"
"Got it figured out." When he enters the urn, he can catch the turtle.
"That's good, but County Lieutenant Yan should still spend some time on suppressing bandits and doing something practical for the people of Yuzhang. Don't do any tricks. If the county lieutenant Yan is Jiang Yuzhang, the bandits around him have been cleaned up. It also saves a lot of effort on this gate. Checking people at the city gate is like drinking water to quench your thirst, and only by cleaning up the bandits can you get rid of it once and for all. Jiang Siming said.
Of course, he knew that what Lieutenant Yan said was false, but this did not prevent him from squeezing him with words.
"I was ordered by the king to pick up Biqing and his group of five. Since Yan County Lieutenant is willing to let him go, it is really good. So I'll take my leave. Jiang Siming automatically put Song Biqing in their ranks.
Song Biqing listened to the conversation between Jiang Siming and Yan Xie and knew that she had to be caught in this whirlpool.
Then it's time to take sides. It's a pity that even Jiang Siming and Yan Xie didn't give her the power to stand in line.
Jiang Siming and Yan Xie have a tacit understanding that she can't understand, that is, she must be with Jiang Siming.
Jiang Siming: How could the people sent by the Holy Lord not be in the same group as us?
Yan Jie: All the bad guys from Kyoto are all in the way, and they are all the roadblocks that delay my fortune.
Song Biqing had no choice but to follow Jiang Siming, who made her speak softly. However, she looked at the four people behind her who didn't know what was going on, and she was inexplicably envious. Sometimes ignorance is a kind of happiness!
