Chapter 484: Deposed
Ji Bi, the lord of Wuling City, was carried down the mountain on a chaise longue, his body was muddy, his forehead was broken, and the shoe on one foot had gone with the stirrup.
Wu Yan followed aside, his face full of apologies, and apologized again and again to Ji Bi, who was humming and chirping on the chair, and sincerely expressed his willingness to give ten taels of silver for the cost of medicine, and another ingot of gold to soothe the wounded heart of the old city lord.
Ji Bi's face was ugly, he lay on the chair without saying a word, and ignored Wu Gan's proposal to stay and recuperate for a few days.
He can also see that this person is bold and black-hearted, how could those two evil mastiffs accidentally bump into him.
If you really stay here, you will have to give an account of your life here. When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the leader of the guard, who didn't know what his name was, was shocked, and quickly took Ji Bi over, and glanced at Wu Yan coldly.
Niu Chao made a small contribution today, and he was still very excited at this time, so he jumped in front of the leader of the guards and scolded angrily: "What do you see, have you never seen such a wise and martial artist, with equal emphasis on beauty and wisdom, fascinated countless women, and fought a hundred battles at night without being discouraged." I still see, I don't pee and take pictures, I don't know who I followed, I have a toad face, and I want to catch up with my father. The head of the guard had bruises on his forehead, Huo Ran got up, but was grabbed by Ji Bi on the recliner, and the group left angrily.
Watching Ji Bi gradually move away, Wu Gan's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand,
"It's all gone." Everyone saw that he was in a bad mood, and they didn't want to disturb him anymore, leaving him alone.
After a while, Wu Gen let out a long sigh and was about to turn around and return, when Hu Jia, Yang Zheng and Baoxiang came over and walked towards the mountain with Wu Gan.
Yang Zheng frowned, thought about it and said,
"This time Ji Bi is here, I'm afraid I have the intention of spying, and the reason why my fearless army is standing here is also well known. It's just that Wu Gan, why are you so rude today, just fool him away, why are you so embarrassed. Wu Yan stopped, looked at the camp from afar, and sighed faintly: "The dreadnought army has grown to such a point, it has reached a bottleneck. If there are no major variables, I'm afraid that's it, and there will be more and more people staring at us behind. Rather than sit back and wait, it is better to break the situation earlier, and today is just a casual action. Hu Jia squinted his trademark triangular eyes and twisted the short beard that was specially left at the corners of his lips,
"An idle city lord, I'm afraid this person is not enough. Wu Gan, you might as well hide yourself, lead the troops to intimidate some small families, ask for more money, and then find some families to exert their strength, maybe it will be faster. However, doesn't Ji Ye need to secretly inform him, so as not to cause estrangement in his heart, and besides, if there is a change, we must also prepare in advance. ”
"Wait a while." Wu Qian continued to move forward, and gradually walked to the door of the pillar village,
"Whether we can keep Xingshan, we have to rely on Ji Ye, he can resist it, we firmly control the officers above the tun commander, and we are not afraid of others mixing sand. If something happens to me, I can just use his guilt to block other people's black hands. Baoxiang listened to the conversation between the three of them in the clouds, and said with a puzzled expression: "Wu Gan, what are you talking about, who wants to attack us." Wu Yan smiled reluctantly and put his arm around Baoxiang's shoulder,
"It's nothing, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it."
"You three are smart, so I won't ask. Wu Gan, anyway, I will go wherever you go, no matter how miserable we are, we can still be miserable in that season in the barren mound ridge, and then sell smuggled salt when it is not too big. Baoxiang patted his chest, a little dissatisfied with the solemnity of the three of them.
Wu Gen looked stunned, yes, what's wrong with me, I just saved a little bottles and cans and suffered from gains and losses, it's a big deal to start all over again.
After thinking about it, Wu Gan's mood suddenly brightened, and he walked towards the mountain with his arm around Baoxiang's shoulder.
"Let's go, let's drink, I'm going to get drunk with a few brothers today." Since Ji Wei left, Wu Yan took people around when he was fine, went to various small families to hang out and block the road.
"Checking" the city defense made the small families miserable. Not all families are submissive, and some people also want to pick up Wu Gan, but when they saw the other party's Ji character banner then displayed, they shrank back indignantly.
It's okay to beat Wu Gan, but if you dare to be rude to the banner, it is difficult to rebel. The days just slipped by day by day, and the Dreadnought Army went through many battles, and both the left and right armies were thriving.
Now the good news is that with the reputation of the Dreadnought, some low-level herdsmen and small groups of horse thieves and bandits have also come to vote, and they no longer need to put down the rebellion and arrest people to fill the army.
After layers of screening, the Dreadnought Army was officially set at 8,000 people, and although the number increased, the basic combat strength did not decrease.
This is thanks to those veterans brought from Zuoheng Road, who have fought all the way here, and now they have become the backbone of the dreadnought army.
This is the case with any team, regardless of the ability of the general, if the combat power of this middle layer is strong, then this team will not be too bad.
In addition, these veterans have a blind confidence in Wu Gan, so even if Wu Gan often does not show up, the entire dreadnought army is still firmly in control.
The rumbling thunder sounded, and an autumn rain came unexpectedly, like the silver filaments spit out by countless silkworm girls, densely woven obliquely, and quietly and silently falling on Xingshan.
In Wu Gan's Guibei Building, the rain gurgled down the black eaves and splashed a splash. A few chrysanthemums in the courtyard were hit by the rain, and their heads hung low, and many petals fell to the ground with the rain.
Zhuo Ke and Ha Ying stood guard at the gate of the courtyard with knives, their expressions serious, and no one was allowed to enter. In the room, two people sat facing each other in the dark hall, Wu Yan was on the right, and Ji Ye was on the left.
The atmosphere in the room is like the mist in the mountains, dark and oppressive. Himeya sat in a chair, resting one hand on the wooden table next to him, tilting his head back weakly, staring blankly at the roof.
Wu Yan held his cheeks with one hand, with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, and tilted his head to look at Ji Ye opposite. The curtain of rain cut off the sound outside, and there was silence in the room, except for the occasional raindrop that fell on the window lattice.
"Just give these two ways, either I leave the Dreadnought, or the Dreadnought will split into two." Wu Gan's resentful voice was like thunder in such a silent room.
"Wu Gan, I'm sorry, I tried my best, and my father gave a military order directly." Ji Ye's eyes were full of exhaustion, and he managed to sit up.
"My uncle entered the palace to see my father, and bluntly said that the Dreadnought Army has been taken out of the control of the Ji family, and in order to prevent the tail from falling out, you must be dismissed from your official position and the number of Dreadnought Army personnel must be reduced." After a pause, Ji Ye continued: "The Lu family, the Ba family, the Murong family and other five families jointly wrote a letter, saying that you were not strict in governing the army, and sent people to harass their subordinate families and demanded severe punishment. At such a juncture, my father had no choice but to respond, originally wanted to withdraw you directly and break up the dreadnought, but after my sister and I fought several times, we finally agreed to keep the dreadnought. ”
"If the Dreadnoughts are divided, how many men can I take with me." Wu asked with a smile. After a moment of silence, Ji Yefang spoke with difficulty,
"A thousand."
"Hey, just take it all away, what are you doing with these 1,000 people?" Wu Yan got up angrily, walked to the window, and slapped his hand on the window frame.
"Ji Ye, you said that I have fought in the Iron Hand Province, but I have a disagreement with the Ji family."
"Naturally not, I know what kind of person you are." Ji Ye walked to Wu Yan's side, looked at Lian Tianyu through the window, and his face became more and more ugly.
"That's your father's suspicion." Wu Yan sighed and turned his head to look at Ji Ye,
"The dreadnought army is stationed in Xingshan, for what, you naturally know. Otherwise, Ji Bi's suggestion that your father would not accept it, but he just took this opportunity to take away my power. You have also read the history books of the human race, and you have become a resentful house, and your power is a ladder of disaster, and I know that sooner or later I will have this day. Well, I'm willing to leave. The Dreadnought Army is my hard work, like a child, how can I be willing to tear it to pieces. Ji Ye put his hand on Wu Gan's shoulder, and said gloomily: "I have wronged you, Wu Gan, I have done my best." ”
"It's not your fault, it's the same ending wherever you put it. I can go, who will take over the Dreadnought. Wu Gen was not half decadent, and asked out loud.
"I am going to transfer one person from the Southern Army here, and my brother is currently discussing with my father." Ji Ye propped her hands on the window frame, looking helpless.
"No, if the thousands of households here can't be selected from the dreadnought army, then I want Ji Yan to preside over here, this is non-negotiable." Wu Gan's eyes were sharp, and he looked directly at Ji Ye,
"If you, the second young master, can't even do this, then I'm really blind." Ji Ye pursed her lips tightly, and the hand on the window frame gradually clenched,
"Okay, I'll advise my father when I go back, if you don't obey, I'll follow you, and being a ranger is better than living in Cold Land City."
"Okay, also, after I leave, the Ji family must not restrain me, and must not ask me where I am, even if I vote for other families." Wu Yan snorted angrily: "The clay man still has three points of fire, and if you withdraw me, it is difficult to circle me." Ji Ye was stunned when he heard this, sighed, and according to Ji Xin's explanation, after Wu Gen stepped down, he was going to arrange an idle messenger in the lord's mansion and raise him.
In this way, it not only looks at Wu Gan, but also prevents other people who have grievances against Wu Gen from secretly attacking.
"Okay, I promise you." Ji Ye said in a deep voice,
"Whether it is in the Iron Hand Province or elsewhere, the Ji family will not recourse." Wu Yan nodded and sighed,
"I know that you can't help yourself, after this incident, I hope our brothers will have a chance to get together again. In addition, I tell you, after I leave, I am going to leave Congyue in Xingshan. ”
"From the moon?" Ji Ye's eyes lit up, he had been worried that if Wu Yan left, I was afraid that a group of generals in the Dreadnought Army would go with him, so what was the point of the Dreadnought Army even if it was kept.
After getting along for a long time, Ji Ye also discovered that these people have their own strengths, and they are all brave generals, and they are really rare talents.
Commanding the Northern Army by himself, if there is no group of capable people to help him, I really don't know what to do. Suddenly, Ji Ye's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "No wonder you asked your sister to come over to lead the dreadnought, but it turned out that you had this kind of thought." You can also see that she fell in love with Congyue at first sight, and with Congyue, she will definitely not do too much. Seeing that his careful thoughts were seen through by Ji Ye, Wu Yan coughed twice and said in a low voice: "Ji Yan is familiar with the Dreadnought, with her cleverness, with her, no one can gossip, and the Dreadnought will be safe." Coupled with the assistance of Congyue, the combat power of the Dreadnought Army will definitely not be weakened. Speaking of this, Wu Yan looked around,
"To tell you the truth, do you also have the intention of matching these two people, and tell you that when you were in Beizhou, how many princesses and nobles failed to win Congyue. You have to say it there, Ji Yan, don't fall too deep. "Wu Yan is afraid that this Ji Yan has stayed in Xingshan for a long time, her affection is too deep, and Shui Congyue is a tsundere person, so everyone can't get off the stage when she doesn't fall.
"Alas, my younger sister, don't look young, but she has quite an idea, and even her father is helpless." Ji Ye shook his head, also helpless.
The two of them stood in front of the window, both a little speechless, and they shuddered a little at the thought of the day in the future when Shui Congyue chased and killed him with a halberd.
"Don't say that I proposed it, just say that it was your father's decision." Wu Yan told Ji Ye uneasily.
"That's natural, but I always have a sense of foreboding." Ji Ye agreed, but she always felt that something was wrong.
"Forget it, the blessings and misfortunes are called, and look at the future, let your father's prison envoy in." This time, he came with Ji Ye, as well as the military envoy sent by Ji Xin, who brought two military orders, just to see the results of the negotiations between Ji Ye and Wu Gan, and then take out the corresponding military orders and announce them in public.
