Chapter 110: Recruitment
At Fan Hong's suggestion, Zhang Biao agreed to let Shangguan Xiu temporarily manage Yicheng and push out the mess of Yicheng, which was also worry-free. γLatest Chapter Readingγ
Zhang Biao did not stay in Huya Pass, and led the county army of Jinchuan County with two or three thousand people back to Jinzhou, the county seat. After Zhang Biao left, Fan Hong also said goodbye to Shangguan Xiu and said: "Lord Shangguan, you saved the life of your sister, today, I also returned your favor, from now on, we are friends, if you have the opportunity, I hope you can come to Xingzhou as a guest!"
Shangguan Xiu returned the salute and said, "Today's matter, thanks to Lord Fan's help, otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult to be good." β
Fan Hong looked up and smiled, and asked curiously: "Isn't it true that Lord Shangguan saw that I was separated from Zhang Biao, and calculated that I would help you, so you spoke against Zhang Biao?"
Shangguan Xiu was shocked, he couldn't imagine that Fan Hong was so shrewd that he could see through his own thoughts.
Fan Hong looked at Shangguan Xiu with deep eyes and said: "Although Zhang Biao is not talented, he was born in the Shi clan, has a deep background, and has a very good relationship with the county government, so Lord Shangguan really shouldn't offend him." β
"Thank you Lord Fan for reminding me, I will pay attention in the future!" Shangguan Xiu Zhengse said, "I also want to thank Lord Fan for recommending me to take over Yicheng!"
Fan Hong smiled when he heard this, waved his hand, and said, "You don't have to thank me, Yicheng is a mess now." If you have the ability, you can show your strength and make great achievements in Yicheng, if you don't have the ability, Yicheng will become a place for you to bury your bones. In short, it is now an eventful autumn in my wind country, you can do it yourself in the future, be more careful!"
For Fan Hong's heartfelt words, Shangguan Xiu was very grateful and bowed to Fan Hong.
"Okay, don't say more, Lord Shangguan, let's say goodbye!" As he spoke, he lowered his eyes, looked at the jade medal worn by Shangguan Xiu's waist, and then looked at the gold and silver medals worn by Luo Ren and others, he smiled indifferently, didn't say anything, walked to Fan Yuanling, first helped her onto the horse, and then he also turned over on the horse, arched his hand to Shangguan Xiu, and turned the horse back to the army.
Fan Yuanling bit his lip, looked at Shangguan Xiu, hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Lord Shangguan, you must remember to come to Xingzhou as a guest!"
Shangguan Xiu nodded and smiled at her and said, "Miss Fan, if I have time, I will definitely go to Xingzhou and pay a visit!"
Fan Yuanling was about to speak, and when she heard that her eldest brother was calling herself, she glanced at Shangguan Xiu deeply, turned her horse and headed towards Fan Hong, turning back from time to time while walking.
How could Fan Hong, such a smart person, not be able to see through his sister's thoughts, and the smile on his face deepened.
Xiaomei is the pearl of his palm, but not anyone can climb high, although Shangguan Xiu looks like a talent, but it can't be eaten, whether he is worthy of Xiaomei or not, it depends on his own ability.
Huya Pass is such a place where people come and go, after the rebels come, the rebels come, the rebels come after the county soldiers come, you are in Huya Pass, you never know what will happen the next day.
As Zhang Biao and Fan Hong left one after another, Luo Ren and the others looked at each other, and then a burst of cheers broke out.
Everyone happily gathered around Shangguan Xiu, one by one excited, and said: "Brother Xiu is now the city lord and city captain of Yicheng, which means that we have already controlled the two cities!"
Shangguan Xiu's heart was also very excited, being able to control the two cities was undoubtedly a big step forward for his own forces, compared to Huya Pass, it would be much easier to recruit troops in Yicheng, which was very conducive to the rapid growth of his own strength.
His excitement was not shown on his face, and he said in a flat tone: "Master Fan also said just now, Yicheng is a mess now, and it is not easy to govern Yicheng!" Shangguan Xiu raised his head to everyone and said, "Go back to the city first!"
"Brother Xiu, when are we going to Yicheng?" Cao Lei asked with a smile.
Compared with Huya Pass, the conditions in Yicheng are much better, at least there is not wind and sand, and there is no need to worry about people coming to disturb it. Shangguan Xiu said quietly: "Before going to Yicheng, I want to get one thing done first. β
"Brother Xiu, what's the matter?"
"About the tungsten gold mine of the Ba people. β
Hearing this, everyone's hearts moved, and they asked, "Is Brother Xiu going to attack Ding Lun?"
Shangguan Xiu said thoughtfully: "The Ba clan is a big clan, and it is not comparable to the White Bird Clan, if you want to attack Ding Lun, you need to wait for a suitable opportunity." β
After a pause, he said slowly: "It takes time to wait for an opportunity, but the battle for the patriarch of the Ba clan is imminent, if Suba is smart enough, he should create a suitable opportunity for us." β
The crowd pondered in their hearts, but no one spoke.
Shangguan Xiu did not return to the city governor's mansion, but went to the small courtyard in the west of the city to check on the wounded soldiers left by Dai Yu. In the course of this meeting, three wounded soldiers had been seriously injured and died, but fortunately, Xiao Jue and other disciples of the Huayu faction had survived, and when Shangguan Xiu arrived, the military doctors were bandaging their wounds, and to Shangguan Xiu's surprise, there was an extra woman in the room, a woman who had a relationship with him. Shangguan Xiu still remembers her, she is a girl in the Qinglou, and she also remembers her name, Yu Fei.
Seeing her in the room helping the military doctors bandage the wounds of Xiao Jue and others, Shangguan Xiu was slightly stunned, and Luo Ren, Zhan Xiong and others were also surprised. Cao Lei was deeply impressed by her and couldn't help asking, "...... you Why are you here?"
Yu Fei continued to bandage the wound of a young man without raising her head, and said, "Can't you see what I'm doing?"
Now she is like a different person from when she was in the Qinglou a few days ago, the expression on her face is cold, and there is a murderous aura between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Cao Lei was the banner master in Shura Hall, and he was also the chief in the army, but now he was choked by a woman in a green building, and his face was a little unbearable.
He strode up to Yu Fei, raised his hand to grab her shoulder, and shouted loudly in an unkind tone: "Let's go, this is not the place where you Qinglou girls should come......"
His words were only halfway through, and the rest of the words were swallowed back into his stomach, because his outstretched hand only caught a cloud of black mist, where was there still Yu Fei's figure in front of him?
Cao Lei's face was shocked, and a word subconsciously came to his mind: Shadow Drift!
As soon as he realized that the other party was using shadow drifting, he heard the evil wind behind him not being good, and a strong wind was blowing towards him. Cao Lei subconsciously turned his head and saw the oncoming fist. He was so shocked that it was too late to bend down and dodge.
It was just that when the fist was less than an inch away from the tip of his nose, it suddenly stopped. He fixed his eyes and saw Shangguan Xiu standing on Yu Fei's side, grabbing Yu Fei's wrist at the moment when her fist was about to hit Cao Lei.
He smiled at Yu Fei and said, "Miss Yu Fei should have said that it was Brother Xiao and their classmates, so that there would be no misunderstanding, my brother has a straightforward temperament, if there is something to offend just now, please don't be surprised by Miss Yu Fei." β
Hearing Shangguan Xiu say that she was the same as Xiao Jue and the others, a touch of surprise flashed on Yu Fei's face, she turned her head to meet Shangguan Xiu's gaze, and after a while, she shook off his hand, and the powder fist she hit was also retracted.
At the same time, Yu Fei was also secretly frightened by the speed of Shangguan Xiu's body technique, Shangguan Xiu was obviously not a secret spirit cultivator, but his body technique was similar to the shadow drift, which was really incredible.
She took two steps back, gave Shangguan Xiu a blessing salute, and said, "Lord Shangguan." β
"Miss Yufei is not a Qinglou woman, she just borrowed the Qinglou to live. Shangguan Xiu said with a smile.
Yu Fei looked at him and didn't answer.
Shangguan Xiu continued: "Since Miss Yufei and Brother Xiao are from the same school, then they must also be under the command of Brother Dai. Miss Yufei sneaked into Huya Pass and lived in the Qinglou, obviously to make eyeliner for the acting brother, it seems that the acting brother has been plotting for Huya Pass for a long time, and the acting brother led the army to attack Yicheng, which is by no means a temporary intention, but a premeditated plan. β
Shangguan Xiu was thorough at one point, and he knew everything, but now he just figured out Yu Fei's identity, but he guessed all the arrangements and deployments of the other party.
Not to mention that Yu Fei was surprised, Xiao Jue and the others who were lying on the kang also gasped, and secretly said Great! Shangguan Xiu is really as Dai Yu said, it is definitely not a thing in the pool, follow him, maybe one day you can really avenge your master.
Seeing Yu Fei looking at him intently, Shangguan Xiu also understood that he had guessed correctly, he smiled at Yu Fei and asked, "I don't know what Miss Yufei's real name is......"
"Wu Yufei. β
As soon as her words fell, the young man who had been bandaged by her just now smiled and said, "Brother Xiu, Senior Sister Yu Fei is the number one master of our Huayu Sect, and when competing in martial arts, even Senior Brother Xiao is often not Senior Sister Yu Fei's opponent!"
When Xiao Jue heard this, his old face turned red, and he turned his head to glare at the young man, blaming him for talking too much, this is not such a glorious thing that is worth showing off everywhere.
Shangguan Xiu looked at Wu Yufei with bright eyes, if her spiritual martial arts were above Xiao Jue, I am afraid that if she moved, she might not be able to beat her. He smiled and said, "Brother Xiao and the brothers of the Huayu Sect have all decided to switch to our Shura Hall, I don't know what Miss Yufei thinks?"
"I'm just a Qinglou woman, that is, I don't deserve to appear here, let alone join Lord Shangguan's Shura Hall, right?" Wu Yufei said quietly.
Cao Lei's old face on the side turned red, and he immediately said loudly: "I didn't know your identity just now, and if I knew, I wouldn't have said that." Okay, my old Cao will apologize to you now!" Cao Lei is a straight person, he will say whatever he thinks in his heart, and he is not a person who will not admit his mistakes for the sake of face.
Wu Yufei turned his eyes and looked at Cao Lei, the corners of his mouth rose upward, and a smile appeared on his face.
As far as her heart is concerned, she doesn't hate Cao Lei, but she also likes his straightforward and bold personality. Just now, she saw that so many senior brothers were all seriously injured, and she was depressed, sad and angry, and she couldn't control her emotions.
She said solemnly: "I accept your apology." As she spoke, she asked Shangguan Xiu again, "What does Lord Shangguan want the little woman to do for you?"
Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled, looked at Wu Yufei, then looked at Xiao Jue and the others, and said, "As long as you are by my side, you can do whatever you do." β
He is now thirsty for talent, and the Shura Hall lacks dark spirit cultivators, and there is also a lack of spirit archers, but the people of the Huayu faction have taken advantage of these two points and take them for their own use, which can make their tactics more flexible and changeable.
