On 18 October, Doni set out for the city of Barona with the terms of the agreement to which both sides were satisfied, and more than 40,000 prisoners. Before leaving, Watt specifically found Doni and expressed that he wanted to stay under my tutelage in Qingyang to study and live for a while, and go back at the right time. After careful questioning from many sides, Doni confirmed that Watt did not stay voluntarily for other reasons, and expressed his support for Watt's choice, and hoped that he could study hard here and lead his people to revitalize the Luope nation when he returned in the future.

On the 18th day, the secret fire paint letter of Guji, who was far away in Yanjing, also reached me in an expedited way, and at this time, even the official express of the empire had not yet arrived. After learning that I had been appointed as the military and political envoy of the Northwest County, the ecstasy in my heart could no longer be suppressed. It took a few laps in the castle guard's garden before I gradually calmed down from my extreme excitement. Since he has appointed himself as the military and political envoy of the northwest, he must quickly put down the rebellion in Guide and Bonan, so that he can be a real and righteous military and political envoy. This time, Situ Biao came forward so risk-free to fight for this position for himself, he must also have his own plans, if he came to Qingyang to announce the appointment and order of His Majesty the Emperor, he would have to touch his bottom well.

I stood quietly in the depths of the garden path, analyzing the various issues that I had just thought of because of my overexcitement. Situ Biao's true colors finally appeared in this court meeting, which will definitely attract the attention of many forces, and at the same time, it will inevitably cause the hostility of several of his other half-brothers who are expected to compete for the throne. He dared to stand up, and he must have the support of a certain force behind him, and of course he used this method to show favor to me, obviously trying to pull me into his front. But it was a very heavy gift, and though I don't know what his ultimate goal was, at least for now, it was to win my favor, but only if it didn't affect my interests. In the political struggle, no personal feelings can be mixed in, and everything must be subordinated to the needs of interests.

Since it has been decided that the two prefectures will be pacified and returned to Debonan, it is necessary to make preparations in advance, especially the deployment of troops must be carried out immediately, otherwise the fighter planes will change three times in one go, and it will be troublesome if they are delayed. Thinking of this, I calmed down for a moment and went back to the study.

Just as I was arranging for someone to inform Ling Tian to return to Qingyang and sit in the Taishi's chair to consider the upcoming counterinsurgency battle, the sound of the guards' reports interrupted my contemplation.

"Report to your lordship, there are three people outside the house who want to see you. ”

"Oh, who?" I wondered.

"Report to the Lord, it's three women, who claim to be from the Snow Mountain Sect, and they all carry weapons with them. The guards apparently couldn't figure out where the seekers came from.

I thought about it for a while, and I had some impressions in my mind. It seems that this Snow Mountain Sect was originally a very large sect in the northwest region, but after the invasion of the Luope people more than ten years ago, its power gradually shrank, and it is said that it has assassinated the main general of the Luo Pei invasion army several times, but because the Luo Pi people are quite tightly guarded, they have not succeeded, a few years ago the Luope people sent troops to exterminate the Snow Mountain faction in Qingyang and Guide at the junction of the big snow mountain base, burned down the headquarters of the Snow Mountain faction, and almost no voice of the Snow Mountain faction has been heard in the northwest in recent years. The disciples of this faction are mainly female surnames, and their martial arts are said to be feminine and changeable, and their light skills are quite clever. These are all things that Mo Lun occasionally mentioned to me when he was collecting the situation of the rivers and lakes in the northwest region.

Although I have now reconciled with Luope, I still admire their courage to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. However, it is indeed unwise to use a Jianghu sect to contend with a [***] team, and if a sect has such a simple-minded leader, I am afraid it will be a blessing or a curse.

What is the purpose of these people suddenly coming to me today to ask to see me? I hesitated, although I was not disgusted with the Jianghu sect, but I also did not want the Jianghu civil forces in my territory to be big, and even Yingying's father I reluctantly agreed after careful consideration. The door came to Qingyang to develop, and it was also after I unified the northwest, and this so-called Snow Mountain faction came here at this moment, and it must be related to their sect, but at this time, the northwest has been expelled due to the power of the foreign enemy Luope, the economy has developed rapidly, and the population has increased significantly.

Maybe it would be more appropriate for the [***] door to also need an opponent who competes and restrains each other, and such an idea suddenly popped up in my heart, the survival and development of these two factions should be subordinated to my interests, so let's see it, I made up my mind in my heart.

The moment the three of them were brought into the reception room, my heart felt as if someone had punched me hard, and I suddenly lost my breath for a while. The leader is a middle-aged woman with a graceful demeanor, a white face, two black-edged crow eyebrows on the plate show that this woman has a strong surname, and a pair of fine eyes under the thick eyebrows can also see that this woman is extraordinary. But this is not enough to make my heart move, what shocked me was the two girls behind her, both girls are generally tall and slender, the girl on the left is wearing a goose yellow power suit, the cover is a light cyan style to cover the moving figure, the girl on the right is wearing a cyan power suit, the outer cloak is goose yellow, and the two girls are wearing a cloak covered with a clear veil on their heads, which makes people unable to see their faces, but the temperament revealed is enough to make people's hearts move.

Although the three had already been confiscated by the guards, my guard on duty was very cautious, letting the three women sit opposite me while they stood behind me with their swords.

Seeing that my gaze and the guards' suspicious gaze were fixed on the second daughter behind me, after a slight hesitation, the middle-aged woman motioned to the second daughter behind me to take off the cloak on her head.

I even felt the breath of the guards behind me, both of whom were no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, the one on the left was a goose egg face, with two deep dimples, a pair of bright eyes shining with a light purple light, and a beautiful brown hair tied into a beautiful bun, while the girl on the right had the shadow of a middle-aged woman on her face, her eyebrows were picturesque, and there was always a shallow smile on her blown-blown jade cheek, and her long black hair was casually draped behind her shoulders. Spring flowers and autumn moons, regardless of Xuan, I secretly commented in my heart. It's no wonder that people wear veiled cloaks and go out like this, I'm afraid they will really have to follow a large group of suitors behind them.

After saluting me, I motioned with my hand for the three of them to sit down casually. The third girl was obviously also looking at me carefully, especially the middle-aged woman, who had a puzzled look in her eyes, and after she sat down, she paused before looking at me and asked, "It's Li Wufeng and Master Li who are sitting down?"

Hearing this sentence come out of it, my heart was happy, and before I could answer, the guards behind me had already reprimanded: "Presumptuous! How dare you pretend?"

The middle-aged woman hurriedly stood up, "The woman is guilty." It's just that the folk woman has never seen an adult, and now that she sees it, the adult is so young, it is inevitable that she will be a little suspicious. ”

I waved my hand, signaling that I didn't need to blame myself, "Are you from the Snow Mountain Sect?"

"Yes, the concubine is Jin Sumei, the twelfth generation head of the Snow Mountain Sect, one of them is the concubine's daughter Yunyi, and the other is the concubine's apprentice Qin Shuangying. Although she did not introduce who was her daughter and who was her apprentice, anyone could also see the identity of the second daughter.

"I have heard for a long time that the heroes of the Snow Mountain School have come out in large numbers, and now it is said that it is well deserved. "I was in a cold voice, but I could also see that the martial arts of these three people were quite weak, and they had already entered the room.

"Oh, my lord has also heard of the reputation of this sect?" Jin Sumei's eyes lit up, but then her face darkened, "Your Excellency may have only heard of the reputation of the Snow Mountain Sect in the past, right?"

"Well, I really haven't heard much about your faction in the past few years since I became the owner of Qingyang and Jinzhou. "I don't want to hide it.

Jin Sumei's face was even darker, "My lord, I'm afraid I also know that this faction caused the Luo Pei invading army to attack the base of this faction because of resisting the Luo Pei invading army, right?"

"After I came to the Northwest, I have heard that the Snow Mountain Sect is still a major sect in the Northwest, and since then, it has disappeared. "I leave no stone unturned in revealing their scars, and if I don't talk about their pain, they won't really realize their current situation.

"That was when the concubine was in charge, and since then, due to the destruction of the base, although it cannot be said that the faction has disappeared, it is true that it has been hit hard and has died down. Recalling the past, Jin Sumei still felt a little bitter, but she quickly cheered up, "However, this faction still has a good foundation in the northwest." ”

My eyes were firmly fixed on Jin Sumei's face, "What is the matter with the head of the Jin family who came to see me today?"

After thinking about it for a while, Jin Sumei's face flushed a little before she said a sentence from her mouth: "The concubine wants to ask the adults to strongly support the development of this sect in the northwest." ”

"Oh?" I had already expected her request, but I didn't expect her to mention it so straightforwardly, I leaned back gently, "The head of the Jin sect also knows that I am the city guard of Qingyang and Jinzhou, and I don't have much affection for the civil forces, and you asked me to support the development of your sect in this region, which is indeed a little embarrassing for me, not to mention that there are already other sects that have also made similar requests." ”

"My lord, but you mean the [***] sect?" Jin Sumei casually brushed the somewhat disheveled hair on her forehead and calmed her mind, "The northwest space is vast, and two or three sects should be able to coexist peacefully." ”

It seems that this woman cannot be underestimated, and she has put a lot of effort into understanding me.

"There are also some sects such as the Tianshan faction. This gentle sentence had a great impact on the three women present.

"Tianshan faction?" Jin Sumei couldn't help but ask repeatedly.

After seeing me nod in affirmation, Jin Sumei's originally calm face became a little nervous, Tianshan is located in the area at the junction of Qingyang and Gaochang Kingdom in the Western Regions, before the invasion of the Luope people, it was very influential in the northwest region of the Western Regions and the Tang River Empire, and it can be regarded as a famous faction, this faction is somewhat similar to the situation of the Snow Mountain faction, the disciples in the faction are all yin and yang, and these two factions were quite fierce at that time. After the invasion of the Luope people, the forces of the Tianshan faction gradually withdrew from the northwest and developed in the countries of the Western Regions.

"My lord, the foundation of this faction in the northwest is much better, and this faction is willing to contribute to the cause of my lordship. Kim So-mei was a little anxious, and she felt the pressure on her body when facing the aggressive advance of her original biggest opponent.

Actually, no one from the Tianshan faction has ever come to me at all, I just made up at will to suppress Jin Sumei, I didn't expect this to have such a big impact on Jin Sumei.

"How are you going to support me?" I said, opening the skylight.

"Now the situation in Guide Bonan is chaotic, I believe that it will not be long before the imperial court will ask the Lord to lead the army to quell the rebellion, and this faction still has some connections in Guide Bonan, and I believe that it will be able to provide reliable information for the Lord at that time. "Jin Sumei also saw my upward momentum, so she decisively bet her weight on me.

However, her conditions were not enough to get my support, and I stared at her coldly and did not open my mouth.

Jin Sumei sighed secretly, "Also, the concubine thinks that the status of adults is rising, and there must be many people who are dissatisfied with adults, and the personal safety of adults is even more dangerous." And although the guards around the concubine are warriors in battle, they are probably not as good as those of us who are from the Jianghu sect when they really deal with assassin killers. ”

I nodded secretly when I said this, the disciples sent by the [***] sect were all assigned to the army by me, although these guards around me have been trained by me, they are more suitable for charging on the battlefield, the rivers and lakes are treacherous, there are really people from the rivers and lakes to assassinate me, these people may not be able to deal with it.

Seeing that I didn't open my mouth, Jin Sumei thought I didn't believe it, and said: "Although my lord's martial arts are strong, but as the saying goes, guns are easy to block, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent. After speaking, I saw her hand move slightly, and several paper-shaped flying knives flew out of her cuffs, flying in the air and returning to her sleeves, startling the guards behind her, and hurriedly blocking in front of me.

I could see that she had worked hard for many years, nodded her head, and motioned for the guards to step back, "Okay, this is like the strength of the Snow Mountain Sect, then leave the two disciples behind you to be my personal guards." ”

Jin Sumei also estimated that I would make this request, but listening to my tone, there was no doubt, so she had to sigh, "The concubine obeys." But please keep our agreement, and don't force my disciples to do what they don't want to do. Her words seemed rather weak.

But she also underestimated me Li Wufeng too much, could it be that I, Li Wufeng, was the one who took advantage of the fire to rob? I was thinking in my heart, but another voice came out again, not necessarily. "Master Jin, don't worry, I, Li Wufeng, won't be so despicable. Even if I want to do something, I will be above board, and I will never take any tricks like chickens and dogs. ”

The two girls, who were originally a little nervous, couldn't help but blush a touching blush when they heard this.
