Although Zhao Ning was leaving Yanping City, the Governor's Mansion was still very important to him and the entire Jiangmen, and he couldn't give up.

At present, with the failure of the Mendi to frame the Zhao Clan, the Jingzhao Mansion's efforts to turn over have been shattered, and the position of the Duwei Mansion in controlling the security of Yanping City has been unshakable for a long time.

Taking advantage of the reason for the arrest of Beihu in the northern cities, Jiangmen has been working hard to expand the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion in the city.

At the very least, they must be able to control the law and order in Gyeonggi, and at the same time, they must have the right to investigate foreign affairs without geographical restrictions.

In this situation, the Duwei Mansion naturally cannot fall into the hands of others—for example, the Sun family, which is the rival of the Zhao family, so it is necessary for Wei Wuxian to sit in the Duwei Mansion.

With Wei Wuxian here, Zhao Ning went to Yanmen Pass, so he didn't have to worry about what was wrong with Yanping City, not to mention that Yipinlou could develop and grow better, and Caoyun's affairs were also quite guaranteed.

When this matter was finished, the people below reported that Fan Yi had arrived.

Tonight, Zhao Ning also asked the other party to come to the teahouse to talk about things.

What you want to say to Fan Yi is very important, when the other party entered the door, put down his hood and sat down in a proper manner, Zhao Ning asked directly: "Are all the hands ready?"

Fan Yi bowed his head solemnly, still in a serious tone like a study: "It's all ready." ”

After the Mendi framed the Zhao case, the matter of the Paradigm's secret communication with the Zhao Clan had been noticed by Xu Minglang, and now the Paradigm's situation is extremely difficult, if there is no other direction to break through, it will be difficult to survive.

The current paradigm, the clear and implicit, this situation will not last, in the end they still have to be the same as the inside and the outside, otherwise they will not be able to really lift the family.

The way out that Zhao Ning planned for the paradigm was the grassland and the next national war.

From now on, the paradigm will follow a part of the power of Yipinlou to the north into the grassland, and secretly operate in the major royal courts.

The elite trained by the experience accumulated by Yipinlou in the previous cases and in the process of fighting Xiao Yan came in handy at this time.

Today's Tianyuan Royal Court should secretly screen the non-existent spy at the top level, and their attention will be attracted to the past, so they will not pay too much attention to the people - this is another reason why Zhao Ning let Xiao Yan go back.

And with the failure of Flying Fish Guard's previous actions, the other party will also relax some of their vigilance.

Right now, it is a good time for Zhao Ning to take advantage of the favorable conditions of darkness under the lamp to set up chess pieces in Beihu.

After the outbreak of the war, there was no intelligence source in Beihu, so it was inconvenient. And once the national war breaks out, it will be too late to establish intelligence channels, and Beihu will definitely focus on guarding against this aspect.

"Who does Paradigm send to take people to Saibei?" Zhao Ning asked.

Fan Yi replied without squinting: "I'll go with Uncle Six." ”

The sixth uncle in her mouth is Zhao Zhongming.

Zhao Ning was noncommittal, "Entering Saibei, there are many dangers, there is no guarantee of life, and there is a possibility of death at any time." You, as the most outstanding son of the younger generation of the paradigm, are going to take this risk yourself?"

Fan Yi looked at Zhao Ning and said solemnly: "The family is already facing the danger of overturning, how can personal safety be enough? If I am really talented, I should use it in the most critical place." ”

This is said heroically and quite masculinously.

Zhao Ning pondered slightly, "If that's the case, after I go back, I will discuss with the Metropolitan Governor and let the people of your paradigm enter the military department." ”

After the fall of the Pang Clan, there was a power vacuum in the military department, and there were many important official positions, so the generals could naturally get a lot. After internal discussions, the position of Shangshu has been obtained by the Wei family, but the position of the waiter can still be discussed.

Fan Yi hugged his fists and thanked him.

Zhao Ning turned his head to look at Hu Honglian, "Who did Yipinlou send to Saibei, and who would lead it?"

Hu Honglian sighed and said, "If the son allows, of course the slave family wants to go in person." If the slave family can only take care of the affairs of Caoyun, then Yipinlou can only send the smartest person. ”

"Who is the smartest person in Yipinlou?"

"Who else could it be but Xiao Nizi?"

Zhao Ning fell silent. The little girl in Hu Honglian's mouth is Su

Ye Qing.

"Ambition is not in old age. Childe rest assured, although Xiao Nizi is young, but her brain is not an ordinary good worker, this time after a few cases, she has also grown up very fast, and now she has the ability to take charge of herself.

"I will also arrange for the most capable people in Yipinlou to follow her all the way to protect her. Hu Honglian saw that Zhao Ning had some doubts, so he added with a straight color.

"Then it's decided. Zhao Ning stopped thinking.

He knew Yipinlou very well and knew that this was a gang that was not very intrigued. Most of the people inside are rough men with upright temperaments, similar to those in the army.

In addition to Hu Honglian, a role similar to a military advisor, only Su Yeqing has the most meticulous thoughts.

When the discussion was about to be discussed, Hu Honglian got the report from the people below, turned around and said to Zhao Ning with a smile:

"Xiao Nizi's wine is ready. These days are free, but she spends her days in this matter, even if it tastes bad, she asks her son to take care of it. ”

As he was talking, Su Yeqing entered the room with a tray and poured wine into everyone's cups with his own hands, during which he kept his head slightly down, and his cheeks were red with shame.

It seems to be very embarrassing, and it seems that I am very worried that my skills are not good enough, and I make jokes.

After tasting a sip of the wine brewed by Su Yeqing, Zhao Ning looked stunned, and a trace of trance flashed in his eyes, but he didn't move in public.

This familiar taste made him feel like he was back in his previous life.

On the battlefield filled with smoke, after a tragic battle to survive, he was covered with broken clothes and armor, and Su Yeqing, who was also almost exhausted, held on to the wall at the head of the ruined city and gasped for breath.

The blood under the feet is drifting, the corpses are piling up like a mountain, the distant mountains are like a song, and the rich smell of blood and scorching inside and outside the city makes people want to lie on the ground and vomit out all the bitter gall.

The images of fierce battles, the dying cries of comrades, and nightmares haunt my mind and linger.

Su Yeqing handed over a wine bag.

When the liquor burned his lungs in his throat, Zhao Ning came to his senses in an instant, and once again believed that he had defeated Beihu Ruishi for the rest of his life, and there would be indescribable heroism and indescribable desolation.

At that time, he didn't know that the wine was actually brewed by Su Yeqing himself.

"Good wine!"

Zhao Ning came back to his senses and saw that everyone was looking at him strangely, revealing a smile that did not distinguish between the past and the present life, "I can drink as much wine as I want, even if I drink it every day, I won't feel enough." ”

Hearing him say this, Su Yeqing, whose shoulders were tense, suddenly relaxed, and a smile that was brighter than the morning light bloomed.

However, it was only for a moment, and she lowered her head shyly, and her earlobes were red and sparkling.

He said that even if he drank it every day...... Drink ...... every day What does that mean?

......

The underground stone chamber of the Prime Minister's Palace.

Xu Minglang didn't know how long he had been sitting in front of the "chessboard". He remained motionless until his eyes were bloodshot. The chess game in front of him made his face withered, like a seriously ill old man.

Last year, on this huge chessboard, the chess pieces of the Mendi family were marked, and they also crossed the Chu River and Han borders, and invaded the territory of Jiangmen on a large scale, occupying a large amount of territory.

The chess pieces of the Sun family, the Wu family and other generals have also changed from black to gray, and there is a tendency to approach the white chess pieces of the gate, and the whole situation is very good for the gate.

And now, there are a lot fewer white pieces, and the whole chessboard looks a lot empty. Liu's chess pieces are completely gone, and there are not many chess pieces left of Zheng and Lu's. The strength of Mendi's side is much weaker at first glance.

The Ponzi chess pieces that invaded Jiangmen's territory completely disappeared from the chessboard, and more than half of the official positions of the military department, which were originally white, have now turned black.

On the half of Jiangmen's territory, now only the "Prison Army" chess pieces are still white, and they are weak.

The Wu and Yang chess pieces, which he had changed to light gray earlier, have now returned to pure white and can no longer be used by him.

"Devouring the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"

Sun and a few other chess pieces of the gate, although the color has not changed, the distance between them and the chess pieces of the door is much more estranged. After the failure of the Mendi framing Zhao case, Sun and others

The gatekeeper has lost faith in him and no longer contacts him.

Nowadays, the situation on the chessboard is that the door is huge, and the door has completely become a disadvantage, not to mention the power of attack, according to the current situation, it is thankful to be able to hold his own territory.

"The old man has worked hard for so many years, and everything he has done is to suppress the military attachés of the Jiangmen, return the military power to the center, realize the blueprint of civilian control of the generals, eliminate the unstable factors of the generals' self-respect, and make the prosperous era more peaceful.

The old man thinks that he is dedicated to the public, and he has always been smooth, he thought that the big thing would be done, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was a bamboo basket to draw water. Why is that, Your Majesty?"

Xu Minglang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but he still couldn't be completely calm.

After a long time, Xu Minglang finally opened his eyes, reached into the box by the chessboard, and took out a handful of blood-red chess pieces marked with various official positions, and placed them on the chessboard one by one.

This is the first time that a blood-red piece has appeared on the board. It's so glaring, it's eye-catching when it appears. Most of these chess pieces are on the side of the gate, and a few are on the side of the gate.

With the blood-red pieces all landing on the chessboard, the current situation is a three-legged stand.

From the point of view, the blood-red chess pieces add up, and there are not as many doors or gates. But Xu Minglang's eyes staring at the blood-red chess pieces were extremely sharp.

That's the power of the humble officials.

Before that, he was the only powerful minister in the court. And now, he is only one of the three important ministers, and he is still oppressed by Zhao Xuanji. The situation is no longer the same as before.

The prime minister has always been the head of a hundred officials, and he has been the prime minister for 20 years, and for the first time he feels that his status is not worthy of the name.

Retracting his gaze and sighing, Xu Minglang rubbed his eyebrows and eyes, feeling deep exhaustion.

When he was full of gloom, there was a gentle footstep in the corridor outside the stone room, and then Zhao Yujie who entered the stone room was holding lotus seed porridge.

This stone room is the most secret place in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and only Xu Minglang himself can set foot in the past.

For now, Xu Minglang's trust in Zhao Yujie is not as good as before, but he gave the other party the qualification to enter this stone room. This has nothing to do with emotion, but from profit.

Xu Minglang needs to rely on Zhao Yujie to change his disadvantage.

He wants to send Zhao Yujie to the highest place in the world in the name of a righteous daughter. If this can be successful, the two sides will be able to become equal allies in the future, which is a good situation for both sides.

Xu Minglang is confident that there is a great possibility that this matter can be successful.

is not because of Zhao Yujie's "righteous daughter" identity, but because he judged that no man in this world can resist Zhao Yujie's charm.

With this judgment, Xu Minglang is not completely self-controlled. Two days ago, the strongest existence in the world suddenly came to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit his "illness" and have a meal in the mansion.

During the banquet, the other party saw Zhao Yujie who entered the hall without permission to deliver wine, and showed a surprised look, and after learning Zhao Yujie's true identity, he showed thoughtful interest.

The man was "thoughtful", Xu Minglang didn't know what the other party was thinking, but instinctively thought that it should be a man's deep-seated thoughts about women.

Xu Minglang, who had been in the stone room for a whole day, drank the lotus seed porridge sent by Zhao Yujie, and when he put down the bowl, he had already recovered the bearing of the prime minister, and said unhurriedly:

"Since you want to be given the identity of a righteous daughter, then why do you have to have a name, what do you want?"

Zhao Yujie smiled, "The name is just a title, it's not that important, but there must be one - the prince always calls the concubine Mei'er and Meiniang, so it's better to call Xu Mei." ”

The so-called "Mei Niang" is the same as Liu Yu's "Yu Niang", which is just a word and a suffix that indicates the identity of a woman.

Xu Minglang chewed on the name, and always felt that there was an indescribable meaning, "Xu Mei, Xu Meiniang, you can also." ”
