Chapter Seventy-Four: Winning the Central Plains: Fresh Wind and Spring Breeze
"Ahem, ahem!" A rapid coughing sound came from the depths of the Ming Jian Division, and the sound was long and far-reaching.
After the expedition to the west of the mansion landed in Changsha, the Ming Jian Division for the first time domineeringly seized the Changsha Thorn History in the west of the city's courtyard, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the environment is not good, no one would have thought that the depths of the garden is a secret prison, before it was the Changsha Thorn History in order to imprison the girl's place.
"Breeze girl, what do you think?" Su Qing crossed Erlang's legs and said while knocking on the melon seeds, so comfortable.
"This person should be from the east, but he is definitely not a person from Luantai or a brocade-clothed unicorn, Miss Su, are you teaching me?" Gu Qingfeng's complexion has improved a lot, his face is a little ruddy, it seems that he is recuperating well, everyone is fatter, but he is still very weak when he gets out of bed, so he can only lie on the warm bed and stay.
Su Qing clapped his hands, walked to the side of the bed and picked up a peach in the fruit bowl at the bedside, and said jealously: "I'm also a marquis anyway, compared to Miss Qingfeng, I actually look so down, you actually have peaches to eat on this cold day." ”
"Miss Su wants to eat often, you don't have to talk so sourly, and you don't have to test me like this, I have an agreement with Guogong, he saved my father's life that day, I will serve him for ten years, and I Gu Qingfeng still speaks." Gu Qingfeng said lightly.
"I really don't believe you, and I don't know why Guogong wants you to join the Mingjian Division, but I won't question Guogong's decision, according to Guogong's orders, everything outside the Central Plains of the Mingjian Division is up to you, and I have to rest assured that these brothers are working hard outside." Su Qing's tone was not friendly.
"Guogong really loves you, it's your business to be in charge of the overall situation of the Mingjian Division, Guogong is deliberately dividing the power of the Mingjian Division, protecting you, can't you see it?" Gu Qingfeng said with a smile.
"Why didn't I see that? I thought he was disgusted with my lack of ability. Su Qing said sadly and sat on the edge of Gu Qingfeng's bed.
"Guogong intends to reorganize the Mingjian Division, the demand for spy organizations is getting bigger and bigger, you are in charge of the Mingjian Division many times it is inevitable that you can't take care of it, Guogong said to both of us before leaving, the Mingjian Division is divided into three places and ten roads, with you as the main and me as the auxiliary, and the scope of supervision is all over the Shinong Industry and Commerce and the four overseas countries, which is not something that one person can handle." Gu Qingfeng said patiently.
"Miss Qingfeng, let me ask what you would do if Gu Xifeng called back?" Su Qing suddenly changed the topic.
Gu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Miss Su, do you think this is possible?" I wish my brother had the same choice as Brother Yanfeng. ”
"Then why do you hide your whereabouts and identity and are unwilling to meet Gu Hou?" Su Qing asked.
"It's better not to meet, it's Gu who mistook him, I really don't have the face to see each other." Gu Qingfeng's expression suddenly darkened.
Su Qing hugged Gu Qingfeng's shoulders very intimately and said: "Qingfeng, don't be like this, Guogong is trustworthy, saying that ten years is ten years will not keep you for one more day, and you can't hide from Gu Hou, Gu Hou is the general of the Western Mansion, what do you say?" ”
Qingfeng was not disgusted by Su Qing's intimate actions, but felt quite warm, such a violation of etiquette when born in a family cannot exist, "You are this stinky mouth, how long has General Shi not been home?" I'm afraid that your reputation is known to the entire Zhengxi Mansion, so why hide your ears and steal the bell? It's not impossible to go to the big camp, right? ”
"You're teasing me, aren't you? Isn't it just to enter the Chenghou Mansion, what's the difficulty? Gu Qingfeng said hatefully, Quartz, who was cautious, was going to clean him up later.
After the two of them joked, Su Qing saw that Gu Qingfeng's expression was a little tired and was ready to leave, and said before leaving: "Miss Qingfeng, to be honest, as a friend, I am willing to believe you, but after all, you are from the Gu family, and I will not withdraw your supervision, if you have any dissatisfaction, just come to me, this is not required by the Guogong." ”
Gu Qingfeng smiled and said: "I understand, if it were me, you might have died, I am the Gu family after all, my brother is still fighting against Guogong in Dongchuan, it's no problem for you to do this, rest assured that I won't leave here, let the people from Donghai Dao come to see me, Donghai may have made a big move recently." ”
Su Qing was very satisfied, nodded and left without speaking, walked to the door and said softly: "I know that you are not Gu Qingfeng's opponent, so there is no need to be so hostile, as long as she does not leave the Ming Jian Division, don't embarrass her, understand?" ”
After a while, a respectful voice came from the shadows: "Honorable commander, Mr. Qingfeng is very calm and does not feel sorry for us. ”
The corners of Su Qing's mouth rose slightly, and he said in his heart: "Guogong's heart is really not ordinary, and most of the people he reuses are from belonging or have intimate relationships with other forces, such as himself, and he has been entangled with Andong Mansion in this life." ”
After a heavy snowfall, the city of Changsha is particularly beautiful, it has both the majesty of the northern city, but also the softness of the southern water town, a wind blows over and does not feel cold, but feels a little warm.
"Yinghou, the conflict between the Liling camp and the Thorn History is very serious, and the day before yesterday they surrounded the Thorn Shi Mansion."
There are always people who show up when they shouldn't be, and the good mood of quartz is gone all of a sudden.
"Transfer Cong Fang to Changsha as a general, Yizhou general Su Xu to Liling as a general, Hou Cheng as a general in Yizhou, and a general rotation in the next half a year in the camp, so as to be the eternal example of the Changsha army."
"It's not good for training, isn't it?"
"The most important thing of the Changsha Army is to guard the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the three major battalions plus Bai Zewei are the most basic defense of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Quartz's detailed explanation is to let the people of the three major battalions know their responsibilities, Cong Fang is just a general of the Liling battalion and dares to besiege the Assassin Mansion, which shows how arrogant and barbaric the officers and men in the army are.
At this time, a person ran from a distance and shouted: "Hou Ye, run!" Madame has called! The brothers in front can't stop it! ”
Quartz immediately changed his expression, picked up his robe and ran up, if Su Qing was caught, his life would be gone, there was a tiger wife at home, and everyone in the entire Zhengxi Mansion knew about it, even people like Jin Qian were also rare to smile after hearing about it, and said to others: "Yinghou's life is probably the saddest in the entire Zhengxi Mansion." ”
"Brother Gu, Qingfeng is very good, you don't have to worry, he saved your life and just let you not return to the Central Plains in this life, isn't it good to play chess and drink with the old man in Bihai City?" Yang Boyu comforted.
"Brother Yang, my son Xifeng..." Gu Cheng's face was sad.
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, it is not easy for Qingfeng's niece to protect you, a ten-year appointment, I am afraid that the world will be peaceful by then." Yang Boyu sighed.
"The Gu family was destroyed by your apprentice for a thousand years, and it was destroyed day and night, but it was difficult not to let me hate him! Difficult! Difficult! Gu Cheng expressed the grief and indignation in his heart.
"Did you ever think that there would be today when the Gu clan slaughtered him?" Yang Boyu said politely.
"It wasn't our Gu family who strangled Montessori back then, the royal family was the mastermind, and what Montessori did back then was also a rebellion today, why was my Gu family wrong?" The more Gu Cheng spoke, the more angry he became.
"Humph! Old Gu, are the twelve states of Xingtan alive well under your Gu family's rule? How many people really respect you and respect you, but they are just afraid of Gu's knife, how do you think you are defeated, Gu's defeat is in the hearts of the people! Uncle Yang refuted like a calf.
"You!" Gu Cheng was speechless for a while, picked up the wine jug and poured it directly, and said hatefully: "Hmph! I see how arrogant he is! My son Xifeng will definitely be able to return to Xingzhou and raise the prestige of my Gu clan! ”
This is a ruthless word, if it is among the people, I am afraid that this kind of words will have a little effect, but for the people in this game, this is a bottomless shout, Yang Boyu saw the wine table that was made a mess by Gu Cheng, frowned and said: "Old Gu, don't blame me for not being emotional, you better stay in Bihai City honestly, the people of the Central Plains don't have a good impression of you, you look at what you are like now, and then look at the 'three less' that you have cultivated as a chess piece, which one is not more dazzling than you!" ”
When he mentioned the three people, Gu Cheng was even more angry, but there was really no basis for refutation, so he stood up suddenly and staggered out.
Tianyue County Yazhong Mengyan and Cangshu Haoyue finally sent the drunk Zhong Roulan away, the two sat down in the chair and did not speak, and watched the servant clean up with straight eyes.
"Qilang, isn't it time for Sanniang to find a husband for her? If you toss like this, something will happen sooner or later! Cang Shu Haoyue muttered, Zhong Roulan's boldness in drinking and eating meat is not inferior to any man in the world, but she is a woman, Cang Shu Haoyue didn't think that anyone was suitable for Zhong Roulan.
"You save it, you will know if you look at the days of quartz, a woman like Sanniang is not something that can be easily conquered, even Ye Bohuai frowned when he heard Sanniang's name, where would anyone dare to touch her!" When Meng Yan mentioned this, he looked like he had no love, and he really couldn't understand why Xiao Yu was so infatuated with her.
"Speaking of which, I want to ask you, what's going on with Gu Qingfeng? How did you let her enter the Mingjian Division, Su Qing was too busy to take care of herself, and you stuffed another fox into it. Cang Shu Haoyue straightened up with difficulty.
"I just want to let Song Yi loosen up, let her learn to be a wife, it becomes weird to deal with people in the shadows all day long, as for Gu Qingfeng, she will do her best to serve Zhengxi Mansion within ten years." Meng Yan said confidently.
"Oh? Shichiro has an aftermath? "Cang Shu Haoyue is interested.
"This matter was done by the third senior brother, I didn't ask, but I probably know that Gu Cheng should be in Bihai City now." Meng Yan said lightly.
"Well, Gu Hou chatted with you for a long time in the afternoon because of Gu Qingfeng, right?" Cang Shu Haoyue found out the doorway.
"Well, I told him everything I knew, and he could understand it, but he was a little puzzled about Gu Qingfeng's reluctance to see him."
"I understand, I won't ask much, but there is one thing you have to solve, the second brother's letter has arrived, and there is a greeting from my father-in-law, you must always reply." Cang Shu Haoyue said with some helplessness, since she recognized Lu Chongzong, Meng Yan deliberately avoided any greetings from Lu Chongzong, and Cang Shu Haoyue was more distressed.
"You reply for me, how can you say that you can think about it yourself, and the matter of the East China Sea Gu Qingfeng has already been sorted out and sent over, what do you think?" Meng Yan simply avoided sensitive topics and went straight elsewhere.
Cang Shu Haoyue sighed lightly, it was really embarrassing for Meng Yan, as a wife, it was her responsibility to deal with the relationship between them.
"I looked, I'm afraid that the East China Sea is eyeing Weishan, Weishan is under the rule of Yuan Changli Gusu General Wang Ming, according to intelligence, Yuan Changli seems to have a very ambiguous relationship with the East China Sea," and then Cangshu Haoyue paused, and then said: "My father's letter also mentioned that the East China Sea is outside Laizhou Port. ”
"The East China Sea is barren, and I have wanted to invade the Central Plains since ancient times, but I have never had a chance, and now the northern part of the Central Plains is divided and has no time to take care of coastal defense, but it gives him a chance, and the pressure on the eldest brother and Sanniang is not small." Meng Yan sighed.
As long as there is turmoil in the Central Plains, the first to turn the face is also the East China Sea, and the three of them have a surprisingly consistent attitude towards the East China Sea.
The current lord of the East China Sea, Ghost Ear Yinggui, is even more ambitious, taking advantage of the turmoil in the Central Plains, fanning the flames everywhere, first cooperating with Quan Hanliang, and now showing favor to Yuan Changli, it can be seen that he wants to step into the Central Plains, now the Central Plains is undecided, the strength of the East China Sea is flourishing, and the three of them decided to form a joint fleet of the two governments after discussion in order to prevent a sudden invasion of the East China Sea, but Zhong Roulan insisted on not wanting to ask Zhong Fan for help, which is quite troublesome.
"You still care about yourself, the contact with the Gu family and the Changsun clan has not been able to get through, isn't the Changsun clan your mother's family? Is it so ruthless? Cang Shu Haoyue was puzzled.
"The eldest grandson and the Chen family are sandwiched between Yuan Changli, Quan Zheng and Quan Hanliang, and they have no actual contact with our Chen Dynasty, and they are both huge families who have little confidence in us, and it is normal that there is no reply." Meng Yan was not surprised by this.
"Then what do you mean by going west out of the Night Tomb?" Cang Shu Haoyue now feels that she is becoming more and more unable to understand Meng Yan.
"Insert it into the hinterland of the two rivers, contain the Zhuge clan, knock the Zhu Mu clan, the southwest is unstable, and it will be difficult for us to launch the north again." Meng Yan took out a piece of paper from his arms, and then said: "But this Gu Qingfeng is really not wrong, this is to send me a spring breeze!" ”
Cang Shu Haoyue saw the content on the paper in confusion, smiled, and smiled very happily.
