At noon the next day, the second uncle came to the Lingwu courtyard and seemed to be in a bad spirit. He was not the only one who came, but also his son, Lingwu's cousin, that is, Lingjiang advocated by Lin Ling Mansion.

The three of them sat down in the front hall, and when Xia Yu served tea, Zhang Rufeng called them all out, and only the three of them were left in the hall.

"Lingwu, Lingjiang, there are only three of us here today. Now that my father is gone, my eldest brother is gone, and the entire master's mansion is only supported by the three of us. In the past, my father and eldest brother were two important pillars in the entire Hou Kingdom, so everything was smooth sailing for our family. Now I'm afraid it's time for our family to live and die, as soon as the news is made public, there will definitely be many families who will jump out, maybe some of the people under my master's mansion will also be restless. I don't know what Hou Ye thinks now, but I hope it's not the worst situation. ”

"Second uncle, Master Hou already knows the news of his grandfather, although he is not sure, he can also speculate. When I set off, Lord Hou had already appointed me as the lord of Jiangling Mansion. The second young lord was arranged to lead the three southern provinces. ”

"This is a good thing, it shows that Hou Ye values you very much, and he still has feelings for his eldest brother. That way, I don't have to worry about my eldest brother's family. I couldn't sleep all night yesterday, according to the law of the Great Zhou, the eldest brother's family will be deprived of the treatment of the lord of the house, and everyone will go back to their respective fiefdoms. Several of your cousins could have returned to the territory because their husbands were lords, but they and your uncle died in Nanling Mansion. Pity your cousin, they don't even have a samurai at all, where can they stay? Can't you still be a servant for others? Okay now, Lingwu, I'll trouble you, for your uncle's sake, take care of his family! ”

"What did the second uncle say? This is what I should do, and this is what Hou Ye meant when he arranged for me to go to Jiangling Mansion. He made it clear that my uncle's family would be placed by me. ”

"Now I want to talk about how to deal with the dangerous situation that will arise in the future, not that it may occur, but that it will definitely appear. There will be at least a year before Master Hou returns to Shuanglong City, and there have been speculations about his father's affairs, and no one should know about the eldest brother's affairs, so we will have time to arrange it first. The matter that Lingwu has broken through to the Great Spirit Warrior is only known to Hou Ye and the three of us here, and Hou Ye has not arranged to make it public, so we must keep it secret. In order to deal with the possible danger of the Master's Mansion, I have considered making some arrangements"

"But by the arrangement of the second uncle"

"Father, you say yes, we all listen to you."

"Lingwu, you have been circling around Shuanglong City for three or five days, and then go to Jiachuan first and completely control it. Jiachuan is only five days away from Shuanglong City, the land is fertile and wide, although it is a territory, it is actually equivalent to the other two, and there must be no loss. Once something happens in Ssangyong City, here is the fastest power to arrive. When my father was here, he used the power here to control Ssangyong City. Your people are mainly from here, and you should be able to control it in no time, so you must make Jiachuan your most reliable base. Guiling Mansion has Lu An to help you run it for a few years, so there shouldn't be any big problem. After Jiachuan is controlled, you must go to Guiling Mansion as soon as possible, you, the lord of the mansion, have not been there for a day. You now only have a total of about 30,000 people in your hands, and the average mansion master also has more than 100,000 soldiers. You've got to organize your team there, or you're going to talk about something in the future. Although your father has appointed you as the successor of the master to the Hou Ye, you are too young, and there are few people in the land, so there will definitely be many people who are not convinced. Your grandfather has always held the power of the four mansions, and there are more than a dozen generals behind him, and only when he has the strength to speak can people listen, otherwise he can't just have the master's empty shelf! After organizing the team, you will get tens of thousands of people to guard the border near Jiangling in Jiachuan, and you will lead troops in as soon as your appointment is announced. ”

"Lingjiang, you have recently returned to Linling Mansion to concentrate troops to prevent anyone from causing trouble, especially if you want to return to Shuanglong City to participate in your grandfather's gift in a year, you must arrange good manpower. Don't come back without a letter from me and Lingwu, and communicate with us if you have something. ”

"Don't worry, father, I'll be fine there."

"What do you mean it's going to be okay? Will you be in time for an accident? You have been promoted many times at a young age, everything is good, but it is too smooth, and you are always self-righteous. Now is not the time for your grandfather to be here, once something happens, no one can give you the aftermath, and if it is better, there is no territory, and it is difficult to say even your life if it is not good. Zhang Rufeng was obviously in a bad mood, and Zhang Lingjiang's rashness also made him very angry.

"Second uncle, don't be angry, my cousin has been in Linling Mansion for many years, it should be nothing, he will be careful."

"I'm in the Master's Mansion, strengthen contact with the Mansion Masters and try to consolidate my strength, and I will tell you any news as soon as possible. If I have any accidents, the affairs of our family will be in charge of Lingwu, Lingjiang, you must listen to Lingwu's arrangement, you are not allowed to be strong, brothers work together, and their profits will be broken. You must be vigilant, the Master's Mansion has been a fast fat meat for so many years, everyone wants to eat it, but they didn't dare to, but now some people will be bold. ”

Lingwu and the three of them discussed for more than two hours, and when they came out of the house, they hurriedly asked Xia Yu to call He Jian. Lingjiang also went directly to gather his entourage and went back to the fiefdom overnight, and Lingwu personally sent the second uncle outside the courtyard. When he turned around and was about to go back to the house, He Jian had already run over, and seeing that Lingwu had sent Zhang Rufeng away, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord called me?" ”

"Well, you can get ready and leave a few servants to take care of this place. Take everyone here and leave tomorrow, let's go to Kagawa. ”

"Really? The host is going to Jiachuan, it's great" He Jian was very excited.

"yes, we're going to live there this time. You are familiar there, but you have to pay more attention to it and do things for me. ”

"Yes, sir, don't worry. I'm going to prepare," He Jianfei also ran to call someone.

Walking all the way along the Longjiang River, it took only three days for Lingwu and his party to come to Jiachuan City. The Longjiang River comes slowly from Shuanglong City to the southeast, the river surface is open, the smoke and waves are vast, the fishing boats on the river are like stars, and the endless fields on the riverside are endless. The Longjiang River has become a natural barrier for the Jiachuan territory, irrigating the rich land of Jiachuan. It is directly under the jurisdiction of the Marquis of Shuanglong City in the west, Jiangling Mansion in the east, and Guiling Mansion, the former fief of Lingwu in the south. Jiachuan has been the southeast barrier of the capital of the Hou Kingdom since ancient times, with a prominent geographical location, with a population of about 200,000, twice that of other lords, and the master Zhang Yuzhang has controlled this place for many years.

Jiachuan Castle was built near the river, because it was only a lord-level place, and it had been concurrently served as a lord by a big man for a long time, so the city was not built very much. The lord did not live here, and there were only a few stewards in the city. Lingwu came suddenly, and everyone in the city was in a hurry and didn't have much preparation. I had to vacate the original home of Jing Mingyuan's family in the middle of the city and clean it up. When the master first arrived, the steward was nervous, fearing that the lord would be displeased. These people are in charge, but they are actually just slaves. In such a place, the lord is the sky, and life and death depend on the lord's mood. Fortunately, He Jian was familiar with them, so he could only ask He Jian to help him in front of his master.

Lingwu has been marching since he was a few years old, and he hasn't had much time to stay in the house over the years, so he doesn't pay attention to it. Come into the city, and go into the city, and set up the personal guards in their dwellings. He Jian was ordered to find a place for the five brigades of guards to settle in the city, even if they were settled.

Jiachuan City was busy all over again, only Lingwu was idle, and he walked around his residence. This is the core of the city, and the entire mansion is about 20 acres. It is surrounded by a wooden fence, and the grass inside is green and the trees are towering. There are not many houses in the house, there is a large courtyard in the middle, and there is a water pool of about two acres behind the courtyard. Lingwu likes this place very much, because this place is really a bit like his own residence in the master's mansion, maybe Jing Mingyuan imitated the master's courtyard and built it. In particular, there were two huge ginkgo trees in the middle of the yard, which made him very happy. He asked the guards to carry the chair under the big tree, and in the afterglow of the ambiguous sunset, he fell asleep rarely.

When He Jian came back, he was about to report loudly when he entered the door, but he saw Xia Yu waving his hand vigorously. He walked in lightly, and the people who accompanied him did not dare to go out and followed. Seeing that Lingwu slept so soundly, He Jian was a little surprised. asked in a low voice: "Xia Yu, why is the master asleep here?" ”

"The master turned around for a while after entering the house, and I saw that he was very happy. He had a chair set up under the tree, sat for a while, and then fell asleep. I think the master is too tired these days to alarm him, so I have to let him be here. I guess he likes this lord's mansion, you look at this ginkgo tree, I feel like I'm home, this courtyard seems to be in the master's mansion. ”

"Oh, I see. The owner also had such a big ginkgo tree at home when he was in Fumian? ”

"Of course, we have a ginkgo tree at home that is bigger than these two. The little master has been cultivating under the ginkgo tree since he was a child, and he also sleeps under the tree in summer. It really makes me feel a little back to when my master was a child," Xia Yu said with some intoxication.

"Look, I'll tell you not to worry, right? You will not believe, and you will die if you are afraid. The master is very kind, this time you have made the master happy, maybe you will be rewarded" He Jian has been sad because of his master recently, and he himself has been depressed, and today he saw that Lingwu was resting so well. I was also in a relaxed mood, and I talked a lot, and a group of people in charge next to me immediately looked happy.

"You guys go get busy, don't affect the master's sleep here" Xia Yu hurriedly drove them away. Seeing that everyone else was gone, He Jian came over and whispered, "Xiaoyu, I'm afraid that the master came to Jiachuan this time because something happened, right?" ”

"Go, who's Xiaoyu? Where do I know what the master is going to do. Besides, I won't tell you if I know. ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Xia Yu, it's the minions' fault," He Jian grimaced as he said.

", who told you to be here to be poor? If you don't take the things that the master gives you seriously, you like to bully me here. Look, I'll tell you later, and you'll just wait to be beaten," Xia Yu said as he raised his hand and pretended to fight. He Jian was very cooperative, pretending to be afraid and ran out quickly.

The situation of the two had already fallen into the eyes of the other two female slaves, and they pursed their mouths, sneered and said, "Yo, in broad daylight, they are flirting and scolding." If the master had known, he would not have beaten only one man's baton. I'm afraid that some people will be spanked by taking off their pants. ”

After saying that, the two threw the clothes they were holding to Xia Yu, and ran out with a grin.
