Fengning four years, early winter

After entering the wax moon, the night of Jiaping Guancheng came earlier than usual, and the weather was even colder, and the people here did not wander around the street to find the cold, and went home early to hold the stove to keep warm.

However, some people with relatively special occupations do not think so, the darker the day, the colder the weather, the more suitable for them to move. No, there is a bold "master" who is ready to start work.

Zhenguo Mansion is located in the very center of the entire Jiaping Guancheng, and it can be said unceremoniously that Jiaping Guancheng was built around Zhenguo Mansion.

In fact, a long, long time ago, back to the time of Emperor Xianwu Ying, this place was just a desolate ruin, due to years of war, the people here were displaced, and they were bullied by foreigners all year round. If it weren't for the fact that the old town Guogong automatically invited Ying to come to guard the town, taught the foreigners a hard lesson, and scared them, this place would have been occupied by the foreigners a long time ago.

Emperor Xianwu Ying is a Ming monarch who knows people and makes good use of them, and he is like a mirror in his heart about the bad situation in Jiaping Guancheng, since his old brother has the ability to defend this place, so as not to let the first line of defense of Daxia be breached so easily, he simply handed over this place to the old town Guogong to be responsible, in addition to guarding this pass, he is also responsible for relocating the people, although they can't let them live like the Xijing people, at least food and clothing must be guaranteed, otherwise, if the foreign tribes don't come to invade, the interior of Daxia will be chaotic.

Lao Zhenguo received the will and officially entered Jiaping Guancheng with an army of 200,000, and he came with the family of Lao Wudinghou. The Marquis of Wuding Mansion has an in-law relationship with the royal family of Great Xia, coupled with his outstanding military achievements, it has long become a thorn in the hearts of some people in Xijing. Fortunately, Wu Dinghou's sense of smell in this regard is still very sensitive, or rather, since he married the sister of Emperor Xianwu Ying, he has this awareness. Therefore, sensing that something was wrong, he took a large family and followed his good brother to this barbaric place called by the nobles of Xijing.

According to Lao Wu Dinghou's own words, it doesn't matter if there is no grass, it doesn't matter if it's barbaric, the most important thing is to save the life of the family. What's more, the value of military generals is reflected in the battlefield, not in the capital. When they are in Xijing, they must be cautious, they can't make a wrong step, otherwise they will be targeted by officials who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and that is a fatal thing! Kejiaping Guancheng is different, this is their territory, and they have the final say.

As a result, with the joint efforts of the old town Guogong and the old Wuding Marquis, after decades of transformation, Jiaping Guancheng has changed from a desolate border pass to a lively and prosperous town, which is still far from Xijing, but it is much better than before. In terms of city defense, although it is not impregnable, but foreigners do not dare to attack easily, just because most of the people in the city are from the military, when there is a war, they can throw down the hoe in their hand, wield a long knife, and defend their homeland.

Zhenguo Gong and Wuding Hou governed Jiaping Guancheng, using the means of governing the army, and the Shen family's army was strictly disciplined, which is a well-known fact in the entire Daxia, so Jiaping Guancheng has such two bigwigs in the army, and there are few violations of law and discipline.

However, the words can't be too full, there are indeed some people who think they are brave and bold to challenge the authority of the Zhenguo Mansion and the Wuding Marquis Mansion, especially after the death of the old country and the old marquis, just because this generation of Zhenguo and Wuding Marquis is too young, except for the military achievements, there is not much achievement in other aspects.

Therefore, there is that bold person who wants to take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to come to the Zhenguo Mansion to explore the way.

Not long after nightfall, a sneaky figure appeared outside the wall of the Zhenguo Mansion, he looked carefully left and right, and found that no one was following, no one was watching, no one noticed him, so he took out a roll of rope from his arms, threw the five-claw hook into the wall of the Zhenguo Mansion, and he was going to follow the rope and climb into the Zhenguo Mansion.

But what this hero never expected was that his every move was under the surveillance of several pairs of eyes, so that as soon as his rope was hung up, he was tightly surrounded by several men in black.

Before the hero could react to how he had exposed his whereabouts and how he had been targeted, he was stunned by the man in black standing behind him, and he only felt that it was dark in front of him, and then he lost consciousness.

After seeing the thief faint, the other black-clothed people were not idle, the gag of the gag, the tiding hands of the tied hands, the stuffed sacks of the sacks, by the way, some people ran over to collect the ropes hanging on the wall, looked at it a little, pouted in disgust, and climbed the wall of the Zhenguo Mansion with such a quality, it was really too self-conscious. After fastening the sack, the taller man in black picked up the sack and made a few gestures to his companions, who left quietly. The whole process was short-lived, and if it weren't for the shallow shoe prints, it would have been as if none of this had ever happened.

"Uncle Yan, we're back!"

"What about people? Caught? ”

"Of course, isn't that a piece of cake for us? If we can't catch even a little thief, I guess our boss will have to beat us up, and then let us go back to the furnace and rebuild it. Then again, you are also a man of God, and when you look at it during the day, you know that this man is stepping on the road, so let us stay there at night. We thought you were talking nonsense, but we didn't expect this kid to really come. As the old saying goes, Jiang is still old and spicy, Uncle Yan can't hide his secrets in the future, what good experience to teach! However, this hero also makes me admire, you know, since the old grandfather was in charge of guarding Jiaping Pass, no one dared to hit our mansion's note, this is the first, and it should be entertained. The man in black carrying the sack patted the thing on his shoulder with a big grin, not afraid that the person inside would suddenly wake up, "Uncle Yan, what to do with this thing?" ”

"Throw it in the dungeon of the back barracks first, don't stay in the mansion, it's too unlucky!" The one who was called Uncle Yan was a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a brown cotton robe, holding his hands, and looking at the few young people standing in front of him with a smile, "It's too late today, the eldest young master and the eldest lady have already rested, and it's not a big deal, and there is nothing to lose in our house, let's talk about it early tomorrow." The two of them haven't rested seriously for a few days because of the chaos on Jin's side, and it's finally over, don't bother them for such a trivial matter. ”

"Yes!"

"Wait!" Uncle Yan stopped a few young people who were about to go back, "I know that you have just come back, and I should let you rest, but if you are in good spirits and feel that the night is too boring, just ask first, it doesn't matter if you can ask or not." ”

"Those who know us, Uncle Yan!" The tall man tugged at the corners of Uncle Yan's mouth, "We just have this idea, if we can ask it, it will save our boss trouble, you know, our boss doesn't like these things." ”

Uncle Yan watched the figures of several young people walking farther and farther away, gradually blending into the night, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Shen Cha knew that the Zhenguo Mansion was almost stolen, and it was already early the next morning, and these days because of the news from Jin's side came one after another, all of which were very important news, not only did she not have a good rest, but her brother also didn't close his eyes for a few days and nights. Waiting for Kim to finally have an ending, they were relieved. I was thinking about having a good rest for two days, but I didn't expect that as soon as she got up, she received a report from the guard, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

As one of the leaders of the Zhenguo Mansion and the Shen Family, whether it is what happens in the mansion, or what happens in the army, or what happens in Jiaping Guancheng, it will be sent to her as soon as possible. Generally speaking, these messages are summarized and sorted out by her, and some urgent and important news are collected and sent to the desk of Shen Haolin, the commander of the Zhen Guogong and the Shen family's army.

"Thieves?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, put down the comb in his hand, and turned to look at the guards standing at the door, since the previous generation of Zhenguo Gong Shen Tianhang, that is, her father guarded Jiaping Guancheng, the first line of defense of Great Xia, except for the Liao and Jin Hui, who have always been eyeing Great Xia, often come to make trouble, those thieves, horse bandits or something, have long been beaten up and obeyed, and they don't dare to come out to be demons at all. She originally thought that this was the norm, but she didn't expect that there would be a day when a thief took the initiative to come to the house, Shen Cha thought this matter was very interesting, and she was very interested.

"It's a thief, Uncle Yan found out during the day, and it happened that Shadow 3 and Shadow 4 came back from Liao, so they were sent by Uncle Yan to guard. They thought that Uncle Yan was a person who was dazzled and misunderstood, but they didn't expect that they were really blocked by them. ”

"When Yan Bo was young, he was born as a scout, with sharp eyes, a sharp nose, and accurate judgment. If he hadn't been injured and had to retreat, he would have exerted his residual heat in the army at this time! Those boys are good at everything, but their ability to look at people is a little worse. I really should talk to Uncle Yan and leave you all to him to train well. By the way, what about the thief? Where are they locked up? Although she is a daughter, Shen Cha grew up in the army since she was a child, and led the army to fight on the battlefield at the age of twelve, and she didn't know anything about the girls' outfits, jewelry, rouge and gouache, and she didn't know anything about it, and even her yard and bedroom were full of masculinity, and she didn't have the appearance of a little daughter's boudoir at all. She tidied up her cotton robe, tied up her long hair, and turned to look at Mei Zhu, a soldier standing at the door of the bedroom, "Grandpa Guo also knows?" ”

"General, that thief was locked up in the dungeon by seventeen or eighteen, and asked for a night, but there is no result yet. The news handed over by Tiger Hill has not yet gotten up. The pro-soldier Mei Zhu stood up straight, "The general is going to see Grandpa Guo?" Accompany the grandfather to dinner? ”

"Don't worry, let's go to the dungeon first."

Shen Cha put on his cloak, took off the soft whip hanging on the wall, and took Meizhu to the dungeon of the military camp behind. When they arrived, Ying 17 and Ying 18, who were in charge of guarding and interrogating, had just finished a new round of torture, and the heroic hero who was a master of art did not carry it, and fainted again without any prospects.

"Boss!"

When Ying XVII and Ying XVIII saw Shen Cha, they immediately threw away the whip in their hands and knelt on one knee, and the other pawns also quickly knelt down, saying that they would see the general.

"Get up!" Shen Cha looked at the thin man who was beaten so much that he couldn't see his appearance at all, and frowned slightly, "How is it, did you ask anything?" ”

"Not really!" Ying Seventeen walked over and shook his head at Shen Cha, "Eighteen and I took over in the second half of the night, and the fifth brother was in charge of the first half of the night, and I heard that I fainted three times." This kid's bones are not ordinarily hard, his mouth is not ordinarily tight, and he still refuses to say anything after this, chief, I'm afraid it's not good, I don't think it's an ordinary petty theft! ”

"Really?" Shen Cha sneered, asked Mei Zhu to get a basin of hot salt water, and splashed it directly at the person's head and face, the effect was obvious, and the person woke up in an instant. "Go on, and if you faint, do as I did, and don't give him food. It's so hard, it doesn't matter if you want to go hungry for a few meals. ”

"Yes!" Shadow Seventeen and Shadow Eighteen glanced at each other, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, speaking of which, their leader is in a good mood today, and they still have patience to spend with this little thief. According to past experience, their leaders don't have such patience, they don't ask if they can't ask, and when they go down, this one will die, and it seems that something good should have happened yesterday.

"By the way, let's go see if Xiao Wu is awake, wake up and let him have breakfast to see Grandpa Guo, the situation over there should be a result." Shen Cha instructed a few more words, stopped looking at the thief, and swaggered away with Meizhu.

"Eh, Brother Seventeen, the sun is rising in the west today?" When Shen Cha's figure disappeared into the dungeon, Ying Eighteen walked up to Ying Seventeen and poked his arm, "The boss is in a good mood, what's the matter, did she make it clear to Grandpa Guo, or did she accept Hou Ye?" ”

"Go, don't be foolish, it must have nothing to do with this, who is our leader, don't you know yet?" Ying Seventeen touched his chin, looked at the whip hanging on the wall, picked one that looked quite pleasing to the eye, shook it gently, and said, "Our head has always been very slow in terms of love and love, and she is not enlightened at all, and she still thinks that Hou Ye is a brother and sister to her!" ”

"Not really!" Ying Eighteen also picked a handy whip, they were all brought out by Shen Cha, and the eighteen weapons were used very well, but this whip was used even better, and it was thrown up. He shook the thief who was watching them twice and said, "Hey, I don't know when we will be able to eat this happy drink!" ”
