The night was deep, and the north gate of Zhongzhou had long been silent, and there was no sound quietly.

However, unlike the perception of the vast majority of people in this world, the routine nightly rotten song banquet in the prime minister's mansion is not the whole of the nightlife, and Qin Zhengdao after the prosperity is more conscientious than the self-proclaimed diligent officials in the court.

Qin Donglou, who had a pink face and apricot cheeks, a beard like the moon, and a little peach blossom on his eyebrows, stood quietly behind Qin Zhengdao, with a solemn expression, and there was no half of the femininity that Yi Tianxing saw.

The person who stood in front of Qin Zhengdao to report important matters was named Gongzi Jin, who hung up an idle guest in the Prime Minister's Mansion, on the surface of being idle all day long, eating and waiting for death, but in the court and on the rivers and lakes, many people knew that he was Qin Zhengdao's real cronies, and the affairs of the world, no matter how big or small, had to be combed by his hands and eyes before they could reach Qin Zhengdao's ears and hands.

There are countless rumors in the market, but in fact, almost no one knows the real reason why Qin Zhengdao unconditionally trusts Gongzijin, the only thing that can be confirmed is that Gongzijin is absolutely loyal to Qin Zhengdao, and even Qin Zhengdao, who is suspicious by nature, does not doubt it.

"Huh?" Qin Zhengdao ticked down, set the amount of relief funds for the locust plague in Liaozhou and the deduction ratio of each level and each level, and slowly raised his head: "Yi Tianxing is training soldiers and horses for Gu Xinsheng in the suburbs?"

Childe Jin said respectfully: "Yes." ”

Qin Donglou chuckled: "Since that incident, Yi Tianxing hasn't entered Zhongzhou, right?"

Childe bowed in, perfect as a machine: "Yes." ”

Qin Donglou sneered: "When I saw him on the street that day, I thought he was a character, but I didn't expect him to be so unbearable. ”

Qin Zhengdao picked his eyelids and said lightly: "What's the law?"

Qin Donglou said: "Regardless of the consequences, killing the guards with knives in public is reckless, and after the case is calmed down, I am still so afraid that I dare not set foot in Zhongzhou, it is for cowardice." Isn't such a person unbearable?"

Qin Zhengdao said: "Do you know that he didn't calculate that we would take action to protect Gu Xinsheng? As for not daring to enter Zhongzhou, if Lu Yong orders to kill you now, how sure are you that you will get out safely?"

Qin Donglou said: "Even if he didn't make a reckless move, now that he knows that we have intervened, his safety no longer needs to be considered, what is it to sneakily hide in the suburbs?"

Qin Zhengdao leaned back and leaned back in his chair: "What he's afraid of is us." ”

Qin Donglou's eyes flashed, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.

Qin Zhengdao closed his eyes and said faintly: "Ah Jin, what is so special about Yi Tianxing's training method?" Others don't know why he values Gongzi Jin, and even there are dissatisfied voices in the sect, thinking that he reuses a waste that is not written and unsuccessful to delay big things, but he doesn't think so, Gongzi Jin's greatest talent lies in being able to grasp the key points from the thousands of complicated information, eliminate garbage information and save time for him. Gu Xinsheng's matter of raising private soldiers is not news, Gongzi Jin specially mentioned it, and there must be something strange in it.

Gongzi Jin said: "Yi Tianxing is training troops by stimulating the potential of the human body through drugs, and now the quality of the Gu family's private soldiers has been greatly improved, and even the elite officers and soldiers cannot be compared. ”

Qin Donglou was surprised and said, "The drug stimulates the potential, but it doesn't seem to last?"

Qin Zhengdao shook his head: "Otherwise, what you are talking about is the Tongtian Pill and the Saint King Pill, which are the medicine of the tiger and wolf, which can stimulate people to explode their potential in a short period of time through drug stimulation, but there is also a class of medicine in this world that can stimulate the potential of the human body peacefully and steadily." ”

Qin Donglou's eyes lit up: "Yi Tianxing actually has such a secret method......?"

Qin Donglou only said half of what he said, but Qin Zhengdao knew what he meant as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but smile and said: "This method of gently stimulating the potential of this medicine is not as simple as you imagined, it has many restrictions, and it cannot be popularized. Heh, if you can eat a strong team by taking medicine, my father has already consulted the middle elders, do you think this kind of side-door ability, this sect does not have?"

Qin Donglou hesitated: "But Yi Tianxing ......"

Qin Zhengdao didn't answer, and turned to Gongzi Jin and said, "How many people has Yi Tianxing trained?"

Childe said, "About five hundred." ”

Qin Zhengdao showed an unexpectedly unexpectedly look on his face, and said to Qin Donglou: "Now that I understand the method of using medicine to stimulate potential, a pharmacist who is proficient in this method needs to prepare medicine for the individual, supplemented by special techniques to stimulate it, and it can be effective." Gu Xinsheng doesn't have many private soldiers under his hands, and then select them from them, the number is even less, Yi Tianxing can still be busy with a little effort and effort, how can he be a private soldier for his father?

Qin Donglou sneered: "If it helps our big things, what if you imprison him for ten years?"

Qin Zhengdao said calmly: "So he refuses to enter Zhongzhou again." ”

Qin Donglou smiled, revealing a contemplative attitude: "If you start with Gu Xinsheng or Gu Mengya......

With a snap, Qin Zhengdao's eyes widened angrily, and he slapped his palm on the table: "Bastard, how can you educate your father?

Qin Donglou's face was full of panic, and he knelt on the ground: "Father is angry!"

Qin Zhengdao stared at his son and said in a cold voice, "Do you know what is wrong with you?"

Qin Donglou's mind was full of thoughts, and he hung his head and was silent.

Qin Zhengdao snorted coldly, took a copy of the official document that there were cultists gathering in Ningzhou to make trouble, continued to read it, and at the same time said to Gongzijin: "What else is important?" A quick glance between the words, and found that it was just a country god stick who cheated money and sex, and enlarged the belly of a certain squire's daughter-in-law, the squire was furious after knowing the truth, and mobilized the clansmen to dip the adulterer and adulteress in the pig cage. The situation became more and more intense, causing the cult members in the thirteen local towns and towns to make trouble, and there was a miasma of smoke everywhere, but the cult called the Wutong Sect was a foolish people from the countryside from top to small, and only the sect leader was considered to have read a book, so he was still a poor sour who had not even been affected by Xiucai, and there was no value in co-opting or supporting, so he did not hesitate to write and criticize: "Useless, peaceful." ”

Childe said: "The generals who are attached to the prince seem to have some changes. ”

Qin Zhengdao didn't raise his head and picked up another official document: "Oh? Now there are still people who dare to mobilize troops in Zhongzhou, it seems that our prince is not small." ”

Gongzi Jin said: "It's not a mobilization of the army, it's just a very small number of military masters." ”

Qin Zheng said: "Which people?"

Gongzi Jin said: "Ye Wuyi and Zhang Dashan of the forward battalion, Wang Heng of the Baisheng battalion, and Ma Jian of the Cuiyu battalion. "The nine battalions of the Zhongzhou Imperial Forest Army, five of which are under the control of Qin Zhengdao, and the relationship between the other four battalions is more complicated.

Qin Zhengdao stopped his pen and frowned slightly: "Only these few people?"

Gongzi Jin said: "The contact person is Lin Youqing, and he should want to compete for some interests outside the temple." ”

Qin Donglou interjected: "It could also be an assassination." ”

Qin Zhengdao glared at him: "Rest assured that you have a problem!" The voice paused: "Lin Youqing seems to have done a Wulongtang recently?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Childe's mouth: "Yes, but it didn't take long for Gu Xinsheng to be destroyed." Speaking of this, my heart sank: "Is it ......?"

Qin Zhengdao sneered: "Okay, good, good, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and dares to touch my scales when he is still young." ”

Childe Jin whispered, "We want ......"

"No need!" Qin Zhengdao waved his hand and said, "Didn't Gu Xinsheng just improve the strength of his private soldiers? Let me see how strong his strength is." Hmph! If he is calculated by a waste like Lin Youqing, he should die!"

As soon as Gongzi thought about it, he knew that Qin Zhengdao didn't say anything, and he was still very dissatisfied with Gu Xinsheng's move.

At this moment, Qin Donglou had already figured out the joints, raised his head and said, "Father, there are three mistakes for children. First, his vision is too low, and Yi Tianxing's ability to improve the combat power of private soldiers is too important. Second, he doesn't know people's hearts, Yi Tianxing is unruly, and he can only backfire by suppressing and threatening him. Three, we forget our goals. ”

Qin Zhengdao smiled with relief: "Get up! Don't be confused by appearances in the future, mess up the proportions, no matter how strange and powerful things in this world are, they can't get away from the general trend after all." No matter how strong Gu Xinsheng's private soldiers are, they are stronger than the millions of elite soldiers I can dispatch at any time? No matter how talented Yi Tianxing is, he can compare to me when he gives an order, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty work together? Even if a businessman has different intentions, it is only the trouble of moss, and it can be extinguished by his hands, so what's more, what we want is that this country is in chaos, and it doesn't matter who makes it chaotic, so even if Gu Xinsheng is separated from us, it will be beneficial and harmless for us to achieve our goals, so why should we find things for ourselves?"

Qin Donglou said: "Father is high. ”

The father and son of the Qin family were talking, but they saw that in the cellar of a farmhouse in the western suburbs of Zhongzhou, Yi Tianxing was standing side by side with a fat man in brocade clothes who was about forty years old, and the crystal screen in front of him showed their every move.

When Qin Zhengdao and the others turned to something unrelated to Yi Tianxing, the middle-aged fat man said with a smile: "What?

"It's worth it!" Yi Tianxing said: "If I can know what Qin Zhengdao is planning, it will be even more worthwhile, you can make a price for this question." ”

The middle-aged fat man was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled awkwardly: "I can't answer this question." ”

Yi Tianxing laughed and said, "I can't imagine that there are things that merchants don't know." ”

The middle-aged fat man said angrily: "What are you laughing at? Do you think you are listening to a commentary? Where in this world are there all-knowing and all-powerful people?"

Yi Tianxing patted the middle-aged fat man on the shoulder: "Old Shang, don't be so sensitive, in fact, I admire you very much." Qin Zhengdao is not easy to fool, you can actually install a mechanism in his secret room, and more importantly, you can not let him find out. Can you tell me how to do that?"

The middle-aged fat man stretched out his right hand, and five carrot-like fingers held it up: "It's a matter of confidentiality, and I will benefit two hundred taels of gold, thank you." ”

Yi Tianxing rolled his eyes: "Do you know what is the most annoying thing about your family?"

The middle-aged fat man was unmoved: "Thank you." ”

Yi Tianxing shook his hand and threw out two golden tickets of one hundred taels: "Take it!"

The middle-aged fat man waved his hand at an unimaginable speed for ordinary people, and the golden ticket disappeared out of thin air: "It's very simple, Qin Zhengdao is a member of the Demon Sect, you know this, right?"

Yi Tianxing said angrily: "If I didn't know before, do I have to calculate another amount of money now?"

The middle-aged fat man smiled and said, "I can use it as an additive head." ”

Yi Tianxing resisted the urge to kick out, gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Tzu already knew. ”

"Oh. The middle-aged fat man said in a regretful tone: "Since Qin Zhengdao is a Demon Sectist, then he will definitely use a Demon Sect Disciple to build a secret room." You can understand that, right?"

Yi Tianxing only felt the blue tendons on his forehead beating faintly: "Are all the people who sell news in your family so annoying?"

The middle-aged fat man said innocently: "Okay, I'll make a long story short." There are all kinds of talents in the Demon Sect, some people are good at killing, and some people are good at building, Qin Zhengdao wants to repair a house, of course, he will not look for a demon cultist who is good at killing, but will look for a demon cultist who is good at building. And we, just happen to be good at spending money to buy people, especially people with normal brains, generally speaking, people who are good at building are more normal than people who are good at killing, whether they are religious or not, well, it's as simple as that. ”

Yi Tianxing said: "I heard that demon cultists never betray. ”

The middle-aged fat man looked thoughtful: "How many years ago was that? Hmm, I think about it, oh, by the way, it was true 1,125 years ago. ”

Yi Tianxing's face showed a hint of sarcasm: "It seems that time will really change everything." ”

The middle-aged fat man sighed: "Yes, people always have to live." Demon cultists are indeed very paranoid, but since the demon clan blocked the passage between Yanzhou and Shenzhou, and no longer interacted with Shenzhou, it has been more than 3,000 years, and the remnants of the Demon Sect in Shenzhou are all members of the Red Emperor Clan, and it is difficult to achieve the madness of the demon clan that is integrated into the bone marrow, especially the demon cultists who are engaged in the craftsman industry, get rid of a few people who have studied technology to the point of becoming a demon, and covet the secret skills of the Demon Sect to join the Demon Sect, and the vast majority of them are martial arts. The poor insects who have been eliminated with poor qualifications in Taoism, the Demon Sect itself does not pay attention to them, and their loyalty is often lower than that of the Demon Sect martial artists. In addition, craftsmen have been dealing with money for a long time, and they also have to understand the benefits of money better than demon cult warriors who are like robbers or hermits. ”

Yi Tianxing said: "So you opened the gap of the Demon Sect more than a thousand years ago. ”

The middle-aged fat man nodded proudly: "Money can communicate with the gods, and the demons have faith, and we also have it." By the way, you've been watching it for a long time, what's the countermeasure?"

Yi Tianxing shrugged his shoulders: "Qin Zhengdao doesn't care about me and my seventh cousin, it's exactly what I want, why should I think about countermeasures? Since we are all looking to the future, then let's prepare our own things and wait for future changes!"
