0296 Candidate for Commander of the Praetorian Guard (1st Update)

Wen Yi smiled: "Why am I a liar?" I never said that I was not the lord of the Tang Kingdom. ”

Xian Yun said angrily: "You...... Quibble. You are obviously a homeless person, how can you become the king of Tang? ”

Wen Yi began to deliberately confuse the concept and led her into the ditch: "Why can't the homeless person be the King of Tang?" Why can't King Tang be an outcast? ”

Xian Yun pondered for a moment and asked, "What are you trying to do when you pretend to be a homeless person to go to the Jin Kingdom?" ”

Wen Yi said: "Based on your intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult to guess, right?" If I hadn't become a homeless person and hadn't gone to Lingnan, how could I have today's good situation? ”

"You're not going to be my woman, are you?"

Xian Yun was really misled and said, "You want to use the power of slang people to attack Lingnan?" Mothers they wouldn't agree, even if they agreed with the slang people of other tribes. ”

Wen Yi said: "Who said I was going to fight Lingnan?" ”

Xian Yun obviously didn't believe his words, if you don't fight Lingnan, what did the dignified Tang King take such a big risk to sneak into the Jin Kingdom.

Wen Yi pointed out the window and said, "Do you see this island?" With such a land that is easier to occupy, why should I take advantage of the fire to fight Lingnan from the hands of the Jin State? ”

"The Jin Kingdom is a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and I don't want to get into a protracted war of attrition with them."

"Besides, if I send troops to conquer Lingnan, the Jin State will be attacked on its back, and then the Yan State will go south and even dominate the world...... It's not a situation I want to see. ”

Xian Yun said suspiciously: "Then why did you take the risk to go to the Jin Kingdom?" It doesn't always do it for fun, right? ”

Wen Yi said: "It doesn't matter if you think so, going to Huiji County is really for fun, and becoming a homeless person is just a coincidence." ”

In my previous life, I went to Huiji Mountain for tourism, and it was not a lie.

And then that's it, and he went south with the homeless...... That memory is really deep and unforgettable, and it has taught me a lot. ”

"But it's not completely without gains, with such a good springboard as Jin'an County, many of our actions in Jinguo have become more convenient."

"As for meeting you later...... Didn't you deliver it yourself? ”

Hearing this, Xian Yun's cheeks puffed up, and he stomped his feet hatefully and said, "Yes, yes, I sent it to the door by myself, are you satisfied." ”

Wen Yi knew that he couldn't blindly be hard, so he reached out and held her in his arms, and Xian Yun fell into his arms after a few symbolic struggles.

"Your appearance is indeed a surprise to me, Lingnan is the land of the Jin Kingdom, and I don't want to be their enemy."

"The original plan was to quietly occupy a piece of land as a springboard, and just have one more place to stay. So I didn't calculate your intentions and use you to take Lingnan. ”

“…… Don't believe it, I've been in Jin'an County for so long, have I ever expanded outward? Have you ever been connected with slang people outside Jin'an County? Have you ever had the idea of beating Gao Liangxian? ”

Xian Yun nodded subconsciously, afraid that he wouldn't see it, and said in a muffled voice: "I believe it." ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Wen Yi's mouth and quickly retracted: "But your appearance has really helped me a lot...... Not to mention anything else, without you, it would be impossible to open up the trade route with the Ningzhou clan. ”

Xian Yun said: "You have also helped us a lot, without the materials you provide, our life will be even more difficult." ”

Wen Yi said with a smile: "So, our meeting is the fate given by God, and we can't live up to his good intentions." ”

Xian Yun threw her head into his arms and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry, never again." ”

Wen Yi said meaningfully: "I'm sorry, is it enough?" Hey hey ......"

And then...... Please make up for it yourself.

After beating Xian Yun and getting rid of her arrogance, Wen Yi's attitude towards her returned to her former favor.

I take her out for a stroll when I have nothing to do, and sometimes I take her to audit when I deal with official business. Hopefully, she will learn something from this that will help her manage the slang situation.

When he really sends troops to dominate the world in the future, he doesn't expect slang people to help, as long as they don't move.

Xiao Baishan, Pan Yue, Wang An, Lin Xingzhu and others all returned to Nanyu City one after another to visit him.

Wen Yi also went to Xinyi City and Jianye City, but these two cities are still under construction and there is nothing to see.

So they drove around Luzon in a boat to see for themselves how big the island was.

Then he returned to Nanyu City, where he was ready to spend his honeymoon this time.

That night, Wen Yi woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, so he got up and went to the yard to breathe, and saw Ma Yibai.

He immediately understood what was going on, and he was very moved in his heart, sure enough, he was the earliest brother, and his loyalty was not comparable to ordinary people.

And it's very low-key, doing so much and never showing off or saying anything.

"Come here, talk to me."

Ma Yibai was a little embarrassed, and said curtly: "What's that...... I just have nothing to do and run around. ”

Wen Yi said: "I know. ”

I casually found a place to sit down, patted the open space next to me and said, "Come and sit." ”

Ma Yibai said: "This is not good, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers." ”

Wen Yi said: ", you still stole meat from my bowl back then." ”

But he also knew that this time was different from the past, so he sighed and said, "Alas, come and sit." There are no people from the Imperial Observatory here, and no one will impeach you. ”

Ma Yibai sat down beside him at this time, but looking at the stiff movements, Wen Yi felt uncomfortable for him.

"I've wronged you all these years."

Ma Yibai's heart was sour, and his voice was a little choked: "Don't be wronged, it's better than when you ate soil back then, one was on the ground and the other was in the sky...... Is it content? ”

Wen Yi said: "It's right to be content and happy, but you can't be depressed." This world is fought by our brothers, why should we be content and happy? ”

"Cheer up, don't let people see the joke."

Ma Yibai took a deep breath to calm his emotions and said, "I also want to, and I'm also secretly learning, but ...... I'm really not that material, I always don't open my mind, I can only watch new people surpass me. ”

Wen Yi comforted: "Everyone has what he is good at, and you have it, but it is not in the right place." It's also my fault for not being able to find out in time. ”

"Daniel Zhang and Shi Dangdang went out to lead the troops, and the commander of the Janissaries has not been able to find a suitable candidate. You get ready and pick up this burden. ”

Ma Yibai's personality is a bit silly, and he can't play with those intrigues. is not a natural strongman, he can't even be a strong general, and he can get into his current position because of his hard work and early joining.

But he also has advantages, he is self-aware, conscientious and cautious, and most importantly, loyal, and is the best candidate to be the commander of the forbidden army.

Moreover, at the end of the year, the military will have a major restructuring and introduce a military rank system.

The Praetorian Guard will be a separate army, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard must at least have the rank of major general, and the general sequence of the Janissaries will be serious.

Wen Yi must choose a trusted person to take this position, Ma Yibai himself is the target of the investigation, and now it is just confirmed in advance.

Ma Yibai said excitedly: "King Xie...... I will protect you and the palace. ”

"Of course I believe you."

Wen Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Go and rest, if you become the commander of the Praetorian Guard in the future, you will not be tired to death if you keep vigil every day, and you will learn to use people." ”

Ma Yibai smiled: "Isn't this a special place, it's always right to be careful, you can rest assured that I can bear it." ”

Wen Yi patted him on the shoulder, didn't say anything, and turned around and returned to the room.
