A glass of realgar wine, half a catty of beef in sauce, it is difficult to make a pair of shadows, Zhong Roulan is not used to living in Chuzhou, so she simply left Chuzhou to Tang Yuan to toss, and built the Chenyang County Lord's Mansion in Yu County, no matter what, Yu County is still safer in her heart.

Zhong Roulan drank realgar lightly, feeling that she had aged a lot after this year, and the day before yesterday she received a letter from the eldest brother and the second brother to bring their families to Yujun to ask for red envelopes, which sounded so harmonious and relaxed, but in fact, this was the last negotiation between the eldest brother and the second brother, and she was the middleman.

In her heart, she didn't want Xiao Yu and Meng Yan to have a conflict, but from her own point of view, or from the position of Qingluanjun, the two of them had better fight to become stronger, and she should have gone back to see her father during the Dragon Boat Festival today, but she chose to escape, whether it was facing her father or Zhong Fan's own existence, it would make them embarrassed.

Zhong Roulan turned her face to look at the high crescent moon hanging outside the window, she was thinking that the fairy in the Moon Palace might be more lonely than herself, when a hurried sound of going upstairs disturbed Zhong Roulan's sadness, and she knew that it was citrus when she heard the sound.

"County Lord, there are a lot of soldiers outside the city, I think it seems that Tang Yuan is the one who picks the lead, he won't rebel, right?!" Citrus said nervously.

I can't teach it, I can't teach it, if Crisp Pear was by her side, she would have arranged for the army to enter the city a long time ago, and only the stupid girl Citrus could think that Tang Yuan would rebel by leading troops into the city.

"Citrus, you go and prepare a few jars of good wine to send over, and then let the small kitchen prepare more dishes and send them over, you can arrange the accommodation of Mrs. Tang and the others, can you understand?" Zhong Roulan said patiently.

I saw Citrus make a surprised expression, and said with an indescribable confidence: "County Lord! Don't! How can you have a private meeting with Lord Tang, the prince knows that he is going to kill me! ”

Zhong Roulan put down the wine glass, closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and said slowly: "Lord Tang will come up with a few important people to talk to me about things, you just do what I ask, don't worry about the rest." ”

"Oh, should I tell Mrs. Tang?" Citrus asked.

"Hmm," Zhong Roulan's anger that had just been suppressed immediately burst out, and she yelled loudly, "You get out of here!" ”

"County Lord, let Mrs. Tang know that it's not good, I won't say it, don't worry!" Citrus said as she withdrew.

Zhong Roulan drank all the wine in the pot in one gulp, and died of anger, this citrus doesn't know if it's really stupid or fake, no matter how detailed his arrangement is, citrus can always understand the strangeness.

Not long after the wine and food were delivered, Kung Fu Tangyuan took a middle-aged man and a young man to the attic, and respectfully saluted Zhong Roulan's half-kneeling, Zhong Roulan did not get up, "Pingyang Hou, is there anything important to enter the city during the Dragon Boat Festival?" ”

Tang Yuan did not rush to report to Zhong Roulan the reason for entering the city during the Dragon Boat Festival, but introduced the two people around him to Zhong Roulan, and first pointed to the middle-aged man and said: "County Lord, this is Han Kou, now Sima of the Qingluan Army." ”

Zhong Roulan looked at Han Kou, Han Kou looked very square, his eyes were like torches, this person was originally the county guard of Ninghai, because when Fan Lihu sent troops to rescue Zhuo's family, he said a few words of opposition, and was directly guarded by Fan Lihu to participate, Zhong Jue was persuaded to surrender when he entered the state, and in order not to cause a backlash in the state that day, Zhong Roulan did not clean the officialdom of the state, but handed it all over to Tang Yuan to deal with, and he returned directly to Yu County.

"This is Murong Changfeng, who was recommended by the Marquis of Huiji, and his subordinates have not yet arranged it, please ask the county lord to decide." Tang Yuan introduced the young people around him with a little dissatisfaction.

Murong Changfeng, the royal family of Beimu, the sixth prince of Beimu when Gaozong of the Ling Dynasty Murong Xu failed in the seizure of the heir, and then was chased and killed by the victor Murong Chang of the Northern Mu Mingzong, almost all of the generals died in the battle before Murong Xu's pregnant side concubine was sent to the Central Plains, just arrived in the Central Plains after the side concubine gave birth due to the fright all the way and the pain of childbirth died, Gaozong knew that he was properly settled, and gave the title of the Marquis of Linyang County to the newly born Murong Qiu, and after adulthood, Murong Qiu did the Ministry of Works, this Murong Changfeng is the descendant of Murong Qiu.

Zhong Roulan gasped when she saw Murong Changfeng's face, if you only look at the left side of his face, he can be called a rare beautiful man in the world, and the right side of his face is a large ink-colored birthmark, which looks a little infiltrating, and his eyes are full of gloom, Zhong Fan sent him over to show goodwill, and secondly, it is estimated that Murong Changfeng's appearance and personality are difficult to tolerate in the Zhendong Army, which has always been cheerful and atmospheric.

"Murong Changfeng, you were recommended by my brother, I know some of your abilities, what do you think you can do?" Zhong Roulan adjusted her mood and asked lazily.

"County Lord, I want to be a spy." Murong Changfeng was not polite at all.

"Well, it's okay, I haven't selected a suitable person for the position of Luantai envoy and Pingyang Hou, since you recommend yourself, you must be a little sure, let's do it first." Zhong Roulan was not surprised, no matter what Murong's ability was, just this confidence and that face were natural spies.

"Lord Xie." The crisp and neat answer raised Zhong Roulan's favor towards him by a degree.

"Sit down, there must be something big happening when you come over for the Dragon Boat Festival, but it doesn't matter, talk while eating." Zhong Roulan stretched out her hand and motioned for the three of them to sit down.

"County Lord, the envoy of Yuzhang has come to Chuzhou and wants to belong to us." Tang Yuan said in a low voice.

Interesting, this news sounds exciting enough, but Zhong Roulan still doesn't have much joy, but she doesn't care a little, Zhong Roulan personally poured wine for the three of them and asked, "Is it Zhuo Dingfeng's envoy or Zhuo Tianya's envoy?" ”

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a questioning face: "The person who came said that he came on the order of the head of the family, and the head of the Zhuo family has anyone else besides Zhuo Dingfeng?" ”

"After the defeat of Zhuo Dingfeng Luling, there was internal fighting within the Zhuo family, Zhuo Dingfeng is now in Jiujiang, and Yuzhang is in charge of Zhuo Tianya in the second room of the Zhuo family, so it is really hard to say who the head of the Zhuo family is now." Murong Changfeng said softly.

Zhong Roulan was not dissatisfied with Murong Changfeng's interjection, but instead stared at Murong Changfeng with interest and motioned for him to continue.

"Subordinate Meng Lang! I also ask the county lord to forgive his sins. Only then did Murong Changfeng realize that in order to show himself, he had forgotten that the real controller of this Qingluan Army was Zhong Roulan.

Zhong Roulan said with a smile: "It's okay, Murong is here with a letter of nomination, what else to say, today is the first time that the Qingluan Army has communicated with each other, everyone can say it, I don't have the ears of the Secretary of the Government here." ”

Zhong Roulan's gentleness and openness made Han Kou and Murong Changfeng, who had just joined, breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that although their loyalty to this master was a woman, this boldness was not inferior to that of the leading generals, and who said that women were inferior to men, everyone has not forgotten the Empress Zhaoyang back then.

"Lord Yu, some time ago I heard some news in the army of the Marquis of Huiji, Zhuo Dingfeng did not return to Yuzhang at all after the defeat in Luling, but followed Fan Lihu all the way north until Jiujiang did not stop, the Zhuo clan was very dissatisfied with Zhuo Dingfeng, and Zhuo Tianya, who was not inferior to Zhuo Dingfeng's three-room strength, stood up, and the Zhuo clan elder had opened an ancestral hall to change the head of the family." Murong Changfeng said in detail.

"Murong, do you know this person Zhuo Tianya?" Zhong Roulan said while raising her glass, still looking calm.

Murong Changfeng didn't answer immediately, because he really didn't know much about Zhuo Tianya, but fortunately, Han Kou, who had not spoken, solved the embarrassment and said loudly: "County Lord, I have dealt with Zhuo Tianya, and I know a thing or two, but it was five years ago, and I can't tell if Zhuo Tianya has changed." ”

"Don't be so restrained, let's talk about it, you see that you are all generals in the army, why are you still afraid of me as a woman," After speaking, a look was thrown to Tang Yuan, who was eating, and said angrily: "Pingyang Hou, did you say a lot of bad things about me?" ”

After Tang Yuan heard it, he almost squirted out the freshly chewed immortal fruit, this Zhong Roulan was ordering him, and besides, who in the whole Dongyang didn't know how powerful Zhong Sanniang was, which made the two marshals of Nanchen's two unified armies uncertain, but it was better to be honest when the newcomer joined the gang at the moment, and quickly swallowed it and replied: "County Lord, you have wronged me, although we are familiar with Lao Han, we don't have much contact, and Murong and I have never had any contact, besides, you have always been gentle and elegant, where is there anything bad for me to say?" ”

Zhong Roulan glanced at him and then said to Han Kou: "Han Sima said that we have to be cautious about what kind of person Zhuo Tianya is, what matters is whether we have to let Qingluan offend Qilin. ”

Han Kou slowed down and said: "Zhuo Tianya, Zhuo's second room, studied under Xiayang Li Qun, Li Qun returned to Yuzhang from Xiayang after Li Qun's death, because Zhuo's family has always attached importance to the context, and there is some rejection of Zhuo Tianya's practice of martial arts, Zhuo Bailing is an example, but Zhuo's second room has always controlled Yuzhang's defensive strength, which also gave him a chance, Xia Guan guessed that Zhuo Tianya saw Zhuo Bailing's current status, and did not want to compete with the generals under the command of King Yuzhang, after all, Gu Qufeng was the top three generals under the command of King Yuzhang. ”

"You mean that Zhuo Tianya thinks that my Qingluan Army is easy to bully?" Zhong Roulan was a little angry at this moment.

After Zhong Roulan finished speaking, she poured a glass of wine for everyone, and after drinking it, she said with a little anger: "He Zhuo Tianya doesn't have any significant achievements, he wants to come to my Qingluan Army to eat meat, he thinks it's too beautiful!" Murong, you first find out who the person from Chuzhou is talking for, Pingyang Hou, Han Sima, you two don't want to see him, no matter who it is, I want to kill his sharp spirit! ”

After receiving the order, Murong Changfeng said: "County Lord, I'm afraid it is difficult to hide this matter from the General Administration Department and the Zhengbei Mansion, especially the two offices in the north and south of the Zhengbei Mansion, they can be said to be pervasive in the past few months, and the people who are connected to the Political Department have all shy away from them. ”

"You are the messenger of Luantai, don't you want to compete with them? Or don't you dare? Zhong Roulan closed her eyes and turned her neck, as if she was tired.

"The subordinates really have the heart to compete with them, but I'm afraid that Luantai will not be able to do it at the beginning." Murong Changfeng did not faint because of Zhong Roulan's agitation, whether it was the General Administration Department or the north and south of the Zhengbei Mansion, it was not a clay sculpture.

Zhong Roulan smiled, personally sandwiched a piece of meat for Murong Changfeng and said: "Murong can, you won't be able to provoke you so much, I can rest assured that Luantai will be handed over to you, you are right, so I have to find a helper for you, and then think of a way for you, as long as you can hold Luantai, you will be famous all over the world." ”

"Please teach the county lord!" Murong Changfeng was a little excited.

"I will help you contact Tan Guogong, he will not refuse me, the commander of the Ming Jian Division of Zhengxi Mansion makes Su Qing very low-key, but the north and south of Zhengbei Mansion are not bargaining in her hands."

"Su Qing? I've heard of this person, this person is very low-key, she is a woman, it is said that she is the sister of the Duke of Tan, in addition to being in charge of the Ming Jian Division, she is also in charge of the inner house of Zhengxi Mansion. Han Kou frowned and said, Ming Jiansi is very famous, but Su Qing is too low-key, and many people have never even seen her portrait.

"I'll tell you about the complicated situation of the expedition to the north and the west, and you should also consider it, after all, we will often deal with each other in the future, are you interested in the expedition to the west or do you have feelings for the expedition to the north?" Zhong Roulan said with some playfulness, Han Kou and Murong didn't know, Tang Yuan knew clearly, what Zhong Roulan said at this time was usually serious, so she hurriedly drank the wine in the cup and listened with her ears.

"Then let's talk about the expedition to the north first, there are four parts to the composition of the expedition to the north mansion, led by the acting county marquis Zhang Jin and the same county marquis Ying Zongyue is the old Qilin department, most of these people are Zhanchuan soldiers, 90,000 people, and Zhang and Ying have suspicions; the second is the Hou Gu Qu style of Licheng County, this part of the people is the old department of the 70,000 Zhuo clan, and the new ones have been dropped; the third is the local officials led by Duanmuyang, who have a good relationship with the old Qilin department, and there are almost 40,000 local guards in charge of Zhengbei Mansion; Fourth, there are about 40,000 people led by Yu Qingwu and Teng Han who defected to the West Mansion in the past, but most of them are composed of soldiers from Luling and other places. Zhong Roulan was thirsty, her eyes flickered, Tang Yuan quickly poured a glass of wine, and Zhong Roulan drank it all politely.

"These people are not the core, the core is the Qilin Wei, about 30,000 people, the commander of the Qilin Wei is Gan Ming, this guy's loyalty to the King of Yuzhang is difficult to shake, and the Qilin Wei has set up a brocade unicorn, the north and south are the brocade unicorn, the south is Wenjun, and the north is Xu Yu." Zhong Roulan roughly finished constructing the northern mansion.

The three of them looked at each other, and the pressure followed, this was just the Zhengbei Mansion, and the three of them naturally sat down, Tang Yuan didn't think he was better than the leading figures in the Zhengbei Mansion; And Han Kou is confident that he will do better than Duanmuyang; As for Murong Changfeng, his face was ugly at the moment.

Zhong Roulan knew that they still needed to digest it, and it was enough to talk about the matter of Zhengbei Mansion here, and then she poured a glass of wine and just took a sip, cleared her throat and said: "The composition of Zhengxi Mansion seems complicated but is actually simple, presumably you also know that the three divisions and two supervisors of Zhengxi Mansion, the leading figures of the Military Council Department headed by Ye Bohuai and Zhuo Bailing, these two people are not opponents yet, the focus should be on Yu Geng, Jin Qian and Gu Yanfeng; The administrative secretary was headed by Deng Gang and Xue Zhen, and the smooth government affairs under the rule of Zhengxi Mansion were even better than those of the imperial court; The Ming Jian Division is actually a branch of Bai Zewei, and recently Bai Zewei has been divided into three departments, one is Bai Ze Zuowei, who commands the envoy Quartz, Tan Guogong's henchmen and guards; The second is Bai Ze's right guard, commanding Chen Zhiqing, who was originally Mr. Dark Night Guard of the Ling Dynasty, and it is not clear what he is responsible for, but Gu Yanfeng's attachment was single-handedly facilitated by him; The third is Bai Ze's internal guard, that is, the Ming Jian Division, who commanded Su Qing, the spy in charge of the entire Zhengxi Mansion, and she was my maid. ”

As soon as the word "maid" came out, Tang Yuan was the first to be surprised, only to hear him blurt out: "Could it be a pear girl!" ”

"Yes, it's her, but she's not my person now, Murong you have to know this." Zhong Roulan nodded.

Murong Changfeng immediately engraved Su Qing's name in his heart, this person is worth studying.

"After the third division is finished, the rest are the two prisons, the military judge supervisor and the civil intelligence prison, you have to figure out this civil intelligence prison, it is terrible!" Zhong Roulan's tone was deliberately aggravated when she talked about the people's prison.

The three of them no longer had the heart to eat and drink at this time, they were all distressed, they thought that they were talents at the beginning of the world, but looking at the teams of these two mansions, it was really strong and terrible.

Murong Changfeng was a little distracted, his Luantai had a long way to go, and he suddenly remembered something and said: "County Lord, you just said that our Luantai is cooperating with the Mingjian Division this time, how should we cooperate?" ”

"You decide this matter yourself, I am only responsible for contact, but you have to be careful of Chen Zhiqing of Bai Ze's right guard, that is a ruthless character." Zhong Roulan had also heard of Chen Zhiqing, and had never met, let alone intersected, so she really couldn't give Murong Changfeng advice.

"The helper is the Ming Jian Division, how to do it?" Tang Yuan muttered, he was already dazed, and he had a headache when he thought of the names of Ye Bohuai or Zhang Jin and others.

"King Yuzhang and the Duke of Tan Guo will arrive in Yujun with their families to meet with me in the near future, take advantage of this time Murong You want to reveal the news of the Zhuo family's envoy to me, but you have to hide it and do it really, although it is difficult to hide from excellent spies, but they also need time to probe, you take advantage of this time difference to catch them off guard, even if you can't win, it won't let us lose anything, because there is always only one piece of meat on this board, that is Zhuo Tianya." Zhong Roulan said, because she had drunk a lot of wine, her face was slightly red, and she looked like she had a trace of imperial demeanor.

"What about Zhuo Dingfeng?" Han Kou asked.

"Zhuo Dingfeng let him fend for himself, after the news comes out, the Marquis of Pingyang, you will lead your troops to approach Jiujiang, and you can ask for assistance from the Zhendong Army when necessary, but it's better not to, understand?"

Tang Yuan nodded, fully understanding Zhong Roulan's deep meaning, only to see Zhong Roulan arrogantly drink the wine from the wine jug, and said, "Qingluan may not be a phoenix!" ”
