Chapter 374: Death for a Confidant!
On the afternoon of the third day after Nie Zheng returned home, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, who were far away in Hezhou to participate in the investigation of corrupt officials, hurried back to Yangzhou City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
They didn't come back so quickly, but after receiving Shen Hongyu's letter, they hurriedly said goodbye to Wang Gang and returned to Yangzhou first.
Jinlin Garden, inside the study.
Nie Zheng sat behind the desk, looked up at the two people standing in front of him, nodded and smiled again and again.
I haven't seen Zhang Long and Zhao Hu for a few months, but now when I see them at first glance, I find that the expressions and aura of the two of them have changed greatly.
After taking the dragon's blood, the martial arts strength of the two of them has improved by several levels, not to mention, now, but seeing the two of them standing in front of Nie Zheng, they feel a lot more mature and stable than before.
This made Nie Zheng very pleased.
Similarly, when Zhang Long and Zhao Hu learned that Shen Hongyu had summoned them back this time to serve as the commander of the county guards, their hearts were extremely happy.
They have grown up together with Nie Zheng since they were children, and their affection has long been better than that of their own brothers. Although Nie Zheng is now in a high position and is the supreme commander of the entire Annan County, in their hearts, Nie Zheng is still their boss.
As long as they can follow the guards around the big boss, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu don't care about fame and fortune at all, because they know better than anyone else that as long as there is a big boss in one day, they don't have to worry about glory and wealth in the future.
After a few people chatted in the study for a while, Nie Zheng suddenly asked, "I heard that the strength of the two of you is now improving by leaps and bounds, and you are about to enter the realm of the six-rank martial arts?" ā
Zhang Long said with a smile: "Under the wise leadership of Dashuai, we can't make rapid progress if we don't want to." ā
"That's right, we must improve, otherwise, if the strength is too weak, how can we be qualified to be a handsome follower, you must know that our handsome family is not something that ordinary people can follow, hehe......" Zhao Hu, who was standing on the side, also interjected.
Looking at the laughing expressions of the two of them, they seemed very happy to reunite after a long absence.
Seeing that the two of them had a smug face, Nie Zheng couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "I haven't seen you for a few months, you two guys have not only increased their martial arts strength a lot, but even their kung fu has made great progress, I really don't know who to learn from." ā
Hearing this, the two of them didn't care at all, they still looked like they were laughing and flattering, and Nie Zheng shook his head.
However, Nie Zheng knew very well in his heart that these two guys were laughing and laughing, and if they were really told to do something, they would definitely not be ambiguous.
After a moment of deep silence, Nie Zheng suddenly said, "By the way, where is Li Yan now?" Has his leg injury healed? ā
Zhang Long nodded and said: "It has been raised a long time ago, and the last time Mr. Yi trained the recruits, he was specially transferred over as an instructor to train those recruits in marksmanship and shooting skills." ā
Nie Zheng said: "You go and summon Li Yan back to see me immediately, and I will send an armored car to go with you later." ā
"Yes, handsome......"
After Zhang Long received the order, he immediately left the study and went to the Siya Factory to report the matter to Yi Zixuan. After all, Yi Zixuan is currently in charge of everything about training recruits, and since he transferred Li Yan over as an instructor, if he wants to transfer Li Yan back, he still has to ask him for instructions.
Otherwise, if Li Yan was really transferred back so silently, I was afraid that Yi Zixuan would have an idea in his heart, after all, Yi Zixuan was the number two person in Annan County and Shen Hongyu's father-in-law, Nie Zheng had to respect him.
After Zhang Long left, now in the study, only Nie Zheng and Zhao Hu are left.
At this time, Nie Zheng instructed Zhao Hu again: "Do you know the white horse tanhua in Yangzhou City?" ā
Zhao Hu nodded and said, "I know, I really say that that guy's painting skills are superb, and he is quite famous in Yangzhou City." ā
Nie Zheng thought for a while and said, "You go and invite him to the county government, and you will say that Ben Shuai wants him to paint a secondary painting." ā
Zhao Hu shook his head and said: "That guy has a strange personality, arrogant and conceited, it is said that he generally only stays in Bihu Thatched Cottage, rarely leaves, before many big businessmen in Yangzhou City, invited him to come to paint, but all of them were rejected by him, because he has an old mother who is sick in bed, and he accompanies and guards by the bed all year round." ā
Nie Zheng frowned and muttered to himself, "Unexpectedly, he is still a filial son." ā
Zhao Hu asked curiously, "Dashuai wants him to paint for you?" ā
Nie Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't have that Yaxing, that girl wants to see him, and I agree to it." ā
"Xue Wanwan?"
Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment, and said: "In that case, then I'll go and invite him first, if he doesn't know how to lift, I'll tie him up." ā
Nie Zheng waved his hand and said: "This is not appropriate, literati have arrogance, do not be humiliated." Besides, he is a filial son and worthy of respect, you should first prepare a lot of money to invite him, if he doesn't come, forget it, Fan can't see him in general. ā
Zhao Hu nodded and arched his hand: "I know what to do." ā
Nie Zheng waved his hand and said: "Go ahead, try to be polite, don't let people think that our Shuai Mansion is bullying, and it will not be good to ruin your reputation for this little thing at that time." ā
"Well, I went to ......"
Looking at the back of Zhao Hu leaving, Nie Zheng held his chin and fell into deep thought, he was thinking about how many important things were waiting for him to plan in the coming days.
The construction of airfields and hangars, and the construction of a large number of military warehouses at the same time, otherwise, if Nie Zheng buys a large number of weapons and ammunition in the future, there will be no place to store them.
In addition, the spring and autumn harvest in Annam County must be prepared in advance.
If there is really a war with the Xiongnu in the future, it is estimated that a large amount of grain and grass logistics will be needed, and at that time, if the food in Annan County is not sufficient, it will have a very fatal impact on the progress of the war.
Because, in the future, once he decides to close the arms shopping street for a long time, he will have to bear the rations of all the clone soldiers.
Everyone must eat, drink, and sleep, including him.
There is also the cripple Li Yan, which is a talent that Nie Zheng values very much.
Although Li Yan is a cripple, he has an unmatched talent for sniping.
Until now, Nie Zheng remembers very clearly that if it weren't for the cripple Li Yan guarding Yangzhou City that day, it is estimated that he would have been assassinated by the Dayue dead soldier who sneaked up on a giant bat.
The cripple Li Yan's keen observation and on-the-spot combat ability made Nie Zheng remember it very deeply.
Therefore, Nie Zheng had to cultivate him.
He asked Zhang Long to summon Li Yan this time, the purpose was very simple, he felt that his subordinates must have a secret team with super assassination and sniping capabilities.
Let Li Yan choose the sniper candidates, and then let him train this batch of snipers, Nie Zheng thinks it is very suitable, besides, if Li Yan is not enough in some professional understanding, Nie Zheng can hire a few clone soldiers to assist him in training and guidance.
And the Da Yue intelligence leader named Baron, maybe it can also come in handy.
Clone Troopers may be all-round Marine Special Forces, but their sniping skills are mediocre.
Because, snipers require very strong talent and understanding, everyone can learn to shoot, but not everyone can be a sniper.
The snipers that Nie Zheng trained in Longhu Mountain before were actually not real snipers at all, strictly speaking, they were just a group of gunners with relatively accurate marksmanship.
As for the three brothers of the Chen family who followed him first, especially Chen Shou, they may be very talented in shooting, but they can't become real snipers.
Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened, and the night soon shrouded the entire Yangzhou City in darkness.
In the midst of the bustling and noisy street market, a heavy armored car, as if it was a beast out of a cage, roared through the streets, provoking the people of Yangcheng who were retreating on both sides of the street to cry out in surprise.
Zhang Long came back quickly, and after being picked up by armored car, it took him less than four hours to pick up Li Yan, who was wiping his gun, from the recruit training camp.
When the crippled Li Yan appeared in the study, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening.
"Subordinate Li Yan has seen the handsome!" Li Yan respectfully saluted Nie Zheng, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"Excuse me, sit!"
Nie Zheng looked up at him, and found that he hadn't seen him for a few months, and this guy had changed a lot, not only did he get a lot darker, but he also looked like he was more energetic than before, presumably his position as an instructor these days had made him improve a lot.
Li Yan limped and sat on the right side of the desk, only to see that his legs were tightly together, his waist was straight, and his chest was a little heaving, it seemed that in front of Nie Zheng, he looked a little nervous and restrained.
Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Don't be nervous, take it easy, I'm not a man-eating tiger." ā
Li Yan smiled shyly and nodded, but the expression on his face still looked a little cautious.
Nie Zheng shook his head helplessly, and said casually, "How is your leg injury recovering?" ā
Li Yan saw that the marshal was still thinking about his injury, and his heart suddenly warmed, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern, Lord Jia sent the best doctor in Yangzhou to treat his subordinates, and his subordinates' leg injuries would have recovered long ago, otherwise, his subordinates would not be able to serve Deputy Marshal Yi." ā
Nie Zheng nodded and smiled: "It's good to recover, so that I will have another general under my command." ā
Hearing this, Li Yan was excited, immediately hesitated for a moment, and boldly asked, "I don't know ...... Dashuai summoned his subordinates to come this time, what are his orders, as long as his subordinates can do it, his subordinates will go all out, and they will not hesitate to die! ā
"Hey, what do you mean by that......"
Nie Zheng waved his hand and went straight to the point: "Li Yan, summoning you this time, there is indeed a very important task entrusted to you, and only you can do it." ā
As soon as these words came out, Li Yan's expression turned grim, and he hurriedly stood up, "Dashuai just orders!" ā
Seeing that he was behaving so solemnly, Nie Zheng immediately smiled bitterly and said, "You sit down first, don't be so excited first." ā
"Yes, Dashuai!" Li Yan smiled awkwardly, and then carefully put half of his ass against the chair.
Nie Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "I want to set up a top-secret yabu called it: Ghost Hall. And you will be the first hall master of the Ghost Hall. ā
Li Yan's body was shocked, and he lost his voice: "Ghost Hall? ā
Nie Zheng said lightly: "Ghost Hall, in the future, we will specially recruit and train the best assassins, the best intelligence agents, and the best snipers, who are responsible for the secret tasks of lurking, assassinating, and protecting our important officials and generals, and the Ghost Hall will be directly controlled by me, without anyone's orders and commands, and at the same time, when necessary, you can use any resources at will within our territorial forces." ā
"Big ...... Handsome ......" Li Yan swallowed his saliva heavily, and the agitation in his heart could not be described in words.
Nie Zheng ignored his reaction and continued: "In the next few days, I will give you the most sophisticated weapons and equipment, give you the most adequate funds, you can take my command and collect the talents you want in the entire Annan County, as long as it is the person you choose, no matter which legion he is in, you can recruit and take them all away." ā
Speaking of this, Nie Zheng paused, stared deeply into Li Yan's eyes, and said: "My request is very simple, you must ensure that everyone under you is the best in all fields, and at the same time, I need you to train a group of snipers, real snipers, snipers like you!" Do you dare to take on this task? ā
Li Yan took a deep breath, raised his head to meet Nie Zheng's fierce gaze, and nodded heavily: "Dare!" ā
"I really didn't misread you!"
Nie Zheng smiled slightly, then slowly took out a brocade box, handed it to Li Yan, and said: "This iron flag order was originally a token of the alliance leader I received when I was in charge of Longhu Mountain, and now that I have entered Annan, it has become my commander's seal, you take it, within the five cities and twenty-eight counties of Annan, no matter what you do, no one dares to refute it!" ā
Li Yan took the Iron Flag Order with trembling hands, then held it high above his head, knelt down heavily in front of Nie Zheng, and thanked him with a feverish look in his eyes: "Minister, Li Yan, thank you Lord Longen!" ā
As soon as these words came out, Nie Zheng's body trembled slightly, and then he looked at Li Yan with bright eyes, and said lightly: "You are really an ambitious person." ā
At this moment, Li Yan held the iron flag order, and tears fell like rain.
His father is a cripple, he has been bullied and inactive all his life, he is also a cripple, he originally thought that he would be like his father, and he would live in the pity and ridicule of others in this life.
But he never thought that in his life, he would meet such a powerful nobleman as Dashuai, which completely changed his future fate.
Thinking of this, Li Yan held the iron flag order, bowed down respectfully and retreated, and at the moment when the door was closed, he looked firmly at the person in the room, and secretly swore, "From today on, the person who is a confidant will die!" ā
