After Zhang Long left, Nie Zheng sat in the study and was silent for a long time.

He was right, his pace was getting higher and higher, and if he and Zhao Hu couldn't keep up with his pace, they would one day be alienated or forgotten by themselves. As a young man who grew up together, Nie Zheng didn't want to see this kind of thing happen.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu may have a lower force value, and their IQ is not very high, and they don't seem to play much role in following them, but they have an advantage that no one can compare: loyalty.

The two of them were absolutely reliable in their loyalty to themselves, and Nie Zheng would never suspect that they would be unfavorable to him. There are not many people who can make Nie Zheng completely trust now, and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are two of them.

So no matter what, Nie Zheng will keep them by his side in the future, cultivate them well, and let them have a place to use within his group.

Martial arts skills have been completely set for Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, because since they were children, they have followed Nie Shirong to learn art, and the two of them are not talented martial arts geniuses, and they can only touch the threshold of second-grade warriors today.

Compared to ordinary people, their strength is indeed a bit powerful, but if they want to be Nie Zheng's personal guards, their strength is far from enough.

Now the elite of the dragon and tiger guarding Nie Zheng led by Niu Meng, which one's martial arts strength is not above the fourth-rank warrior? And Niu Meng comprehended the third entrance of martial arts during this time, officially stepped through the moat between the sixth-rank and seventh-rank warriors, and stepped into the ranks of the seventh-rank upper ranks.

People like Niu Meng have extremely strong martial arts talents, so he can have such a strong martial arts cultivation in his twenties.

Martial artists with ordinary qualifications like Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, if they don't have any special opportunities or adventures in their lives, they may only be able to stay in place for the rest of their lives. It's great that in another ten or twenty years, they will make a breakthrough and become a third-rank or fourth-rank samurai.

But with this level of strength, Nie Zheng has a lot of people around him, and the two of them still can't play a role.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng sighed deeply and said secretly, since Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are destined to not have much gain in martial arts, they can only let them focus on arms and weapons in the future.

Compared with the ability to comprehend martial arts, the two of them are more talented in the comprehension of firearms.

Not to mention anything else, just to say that the marksmanship of the two of them is very good in the entire Dragon and Tiger Army, otherwise, Nie Zheng would not let them follow Chen Shou to practice sniper rifles.

It seems that in the future, they will have to concentrate on the route of snipers, as long as they skillfully control some of the core elements of snipers, it is estimated that it will not be long before they become extremely strong individual soldiers in special operations.

In that case, it will also be able to make up for their lack of martial arts, and when the time comes, let them set up a secret assassination special combat team, and it is estimated that they will also be able to help themselves achieve great things.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng nodded secretly, and he already had a plan for the future development direction of the two of them.

…………

sent Shi Zheng to lead 1,500 men and horses to Qixian to quell the chaos, and ordered Chen Shou to lead a team of scouts out of the city to spy on the news, in short, after occupying Yangzhou City, all things were arranged in an orderly manner.

Now, Nie Zheng has given full authority to Xu Shijie and Xue Changsheng to manage the defense of various cities in Yangzhou, and Niu Mengzai is responsible for the security patrol work in the city.

As for the government affairs in the city, Nie Zheng didn't have to worry about it at all, and it was still managed by Chen Taizhi's officials from the Siyachang, which saved Nie Zheng a lot of trouble, and he could stay in Jinlin Garden every day to drink tea and conceive some strategic plans for the future.

Niu Meng is not only responsible for the security patrol in the city, but at the same time, he is also responsible for Nie Zheng's security work.

From the night when Nie Zheng led the Dragon and Tiger Army to occupy Yangzhou City, leaders such as Shi Zheng, Niu Meng, and Xu Shijie made suggestions to Nie Zheng, suggesting that Nie Zheng stay in the heavily guarded Siyachang as much as possible during this time, and try not to go out.

After all, they had just occupied Yangzhou City for a few days, who knew if there were any spies or assassins left behind by the Dayue people in the city?

In case there are really some powerful Dayue dead soldiers or assassins hidden in the city, I am really afraid to guard against it.

For everyone's concerns, Nie Zheng felt that it was not unreasonable, anyway, before Shen Hongyu and the others arrived, for the sake of their own safety, Nie Zheng tried not to go to the street market or downtown as much as possible.

As soon as Shen Hongyu and their brigade arrived, with the strong strength of Shen Hongyu's mother-in-law, with her by his side at that time, there would be no need to worry about safety, and then Nie Zheng could take a good look around this Yangzhou City to see how prosperous and lively this so-called largest city in the southwest was.

Thinking of the talisman armor that Shen Hongyu gave him before the last expedition from Tiger Village, he has been wearing it on his body for the past few months, although until now, he has not encountered any assassins who can stab himself closely, but with this treasure armor, Nie Zheng always feels very down-to-earth and warm in his heart.

After calculating the time, it has been three months since I left Longhu Mountain to cross the river to Annan, and I don't know where Shen Hongyu and the others are now, and whether the road is smooth or not?

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng sighed deeply and muttered to himself: "Hurry up, lest I worry about ...... all day"

…………

Unconsciously, three days have passed since the Dragon and Tiger Army occupied Yangzhou City.

To be honest, the past three days have made Nie Zheng feel that it has been a long time, in addition to being a little boring every day, more importantly, because there is something that has not been implemented, Nie Zheng's heart is very unsteady.

Yes, that's right, it's the gold and silver in the Yangzhou treasury.

On the night of three days ago, because he couldn't open the door of time and space, Nie Zheng left the warehouse depressed.

After waiting for three days and three nights, tonight, the energy of the superchip was finally full, and it wouldn't be long before he could enter the warehouse and frantically carry gold and silver into the gate of time and space.

Once Nie Zheng threw all the more than 200 boxes of gold and silver sealed in the treasury into the Military Arms Commercial Street, it is estimated that he will soon be able to obtain the permission to open the No. 5 Arms Block.

Every time he thought of this, Nie Zheng was very excited, if he wasn't afraid that others would think he was mentally ill, he really wanted to sleep in the warehouse these days.

After dinner, Nie Zheng looked at the dark sky outside, and calculated that the time should be almost eight o'clock in the evening, as long as a few more hours, he could enter the warehouse to carry gold and silver.

Now I have to wait patiently for a few more hours.

Soon, in the dead of night, the streets outside the county hall were dark and quiet, and there was basically no sound except for the occasional knock in the distance.

At this time, Nie Zheng quickly put on his robe and called out loudly: "Niu Meng! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

After hearing Nie Zheng's summons, Niu Meng walked quickly to the study, saluted Nie Zheng, and said, "Alliance...... Commander, what do you command? ”

Nie Zheng glanced at him and said lightly: "Come with me to the warehouse." ”

Niu Meng was stunned for a moment, secretly wondering, what are you doing in the warehouse so late?

However, doubts are doubts, and he does not dare to disobey Nie Zheng's orders.

Soon, Niu Meng gathered more than a dozen guards who were keeping vigil and hugged Nie Zheng and walked towards the rear of the Si Ya Factory.

It didn't take long for everyone to come to the gate of the Yangzhou warehouse. In the distance, Su Monkey and the others, who were in charge of guarding the warehouse, stepped forward to salute after seeing Nie Zheng's arrival.

"My subordinates have seen the handsome!"

"Excuse me!"

Nie Zheng waved his hand, and commanded everyone with an expressionless face: "I will go into the warehouse to store some valuable things, and you will close the door of the warehouse later, without my order, no one is allowed to enter the warehouse for half a step, understand?" ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" The crowd responded.

Nie Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then took a deep breath and strode into the warehouse.

At the moment when he had just entered the warehouse, Niu Meng and Su Monkey, who were guarding the door, immediately followed Nie Zheng's request and slowly closed the two heavy doors of the warehouse.

In many corners of the treasury, many lights are burned, which is the rule of all government treasury offices.

Whether it is the treasury of the imperial court or the treasury of the county government, whether there is money stored in it or not, the lights can never be extinguished, anyway, this is an extremely superstitious custom of ancient people.

They believe that the fire represents "prosperity", if you want to fill the treasury with gold and silver, and the country is prosperous, the lights in the treasury must not be extinguished, even if the poor county treasury is, the lights in the treasury are lit all year round and never extinguished.

With the help of the light in the warehouse, Nie Zheng quickly bypassed the mountain of money piled up in front of him, and then quickly came to the back of the warehouse.

In the area behind the warehouse, more than two hundred boxes of gold and silver were sealed tightly, one box was no more, one box was not less, seeing this scene, Nie Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There were fifty-one chests of gold, which contained nearly one hundred thousand taels. With such a huge amount, if Nie Zheng was thrown into the gate of time and space one by one, I don't know how much time it would take.

It is estimated that if he is given an hour, he may not be able to throw all the fifty-one boxes of gold into it.

After all, every box of gold here, even the gold ingots in the box, are at least hundreds of catties, and with Nie Zheng's current strength, he can't move it at all.

This problem made Nie Zheng a little worried, in the past, there was no gold for him to move, and now there are too many moves, which makes him a little unbearable.

He can't spend an hour moving a little bit today, and another hour moving a little in a few days, when will Nima have to move like this before he can open the No. 5 Munitions District.

Anyway, he is in a hurry now, he has been waiting patiently for three days, no matter what today, he has to move the gold and silver to the Military Fire Pedestrian Street, and the gate of the fifth block must also be opened today.

Even if he doesn't have time to buy it today, he can at least go in and have a look.

What armed armored vehicles, what tanks and artillery, what submarine torpedoes, what airplanes and helicopters...... It's exciting to think about.
