Chapter 206: Officials, Food, and Secret Decrees
Fengyue Inn.
When Bai Qing came, he saw that it was already overcrowded.
It's not the residents, but the people of the rivers and lakes with weapons, who surround the place.
A team of people from the Yulin Army came and stationed on the side to prevent these Jianghu people from messing around.
"What's going on?" Bai Qing also thought that Li Deen had broken the rules as soon as he entered the city.
The hundred households of the Yulin Army replied: "Lord Huibai, Li Deen has appeared, and the people from the rivers and lakes around Suzhou have come. ”
"What are you doing, is he in debt or is he in debt?" Bai Qing asked.
Baihu: "There are those who come to admire the world's masters, and those who want to come to challenge, they are all waiting, and they are already queuing." ”
"......" Bai Qing glanced at him, and these Jianghu people waiting outside the inn suddenly felt quite bold.
The existence of the top ten masters on the list of other people, although one fell because of the pawn, but it's not something you can provoke, right?
This kind of duel between the rivers and lakes, the challenge of life and death, the government will not care.
If you dare to make a move, you must be prepared to be killed.
This martial culture has existed since the time of the Emperor, and neither Bactria nor any other country has prohibited it, but only if both sides are clearly willing to challenge and sign a contract.
Many intractable grievances are resolved in this way.
"Did anyone challenge it?" Bai Qing asked.
Baihu shook his head: "It's all waiting, Li Deen is taking a nap, and I have to wait for him to wake up." ”
“…… That's it? ”
Bai Qing was speechless: "Kick the door directly?" ”
"Who dares? That's the eleventh master in the world......" said one soldier.
When Bai Qing heard this, he straightened his waist and felt that it was a good opportunity to show off.
So, he immediately took a quick step, and after a few borrowed strengths, he leaped to the top of the inn.
"What a light effort!" The people on the street are all praised.
Bai Qing stood on the roof of the building and drank: "Li Deen, come out and fight!" ”
The sound is loud and penetrating, which makes people feel refreshed when they listen to it.
"Pounce—"
The rubble under Bai Qing's feet suddenly burst upward, and the roof was pierced from below, and a figure leaped up and stabbed out with a sword.
"Good!" The onlookers immediately clapped their hands, this rumored way of appearing is still exciting.
Downstairs, there are 100 households in the Yulin Army: "......"
……
"Young Master, the officials of the household department have arrived!"
Fang Jue stood in an extremely high place in the city, belonging to the attic of the Yulin Army's garrison, and looked at the top of the Fengyue Inn with a telescope, the two of them who were fighting together.
Hearing that someone had come to report that the official in charge of disaster relief had finally arrived, Fang Jue reluctantly took off the binoculars.
"It's a pity that the master can't practice martial arts." Fang Jue regretted that he couldn't enjoy the pleasure of that kind of master's move.
Putting away the binoculars, Fang Jue said, "Let's go, take me to see those adults." ”
Inside the South City Gate.
The household officials who had just entered the city were a little tired, but after only a few steps, they saw many people cheering on the side of the road.
When I heard the movement and looked up, I saw two afterimages quickly fighting on the roof of the inn, and I felt an indescribable sense of amazement.
"It is worthy of being a border stopper, and the folk customs are so fierce?" Bai Yu, the new waiter of the household, was eye-catching and felt very attractive.
Although I can't understand the moves, it looks really cool and has a great visual impact.
"Ahem......" The household official who was entourage coughed lightly twice.
Bai Yu came back to his senses and looked ahead.
"Xiaguan has seen the young master!" Bai Yu hurriedly saluted.
Fang Jue looked at him with a smile: "What do you call this adult?" ”
"Bai Yu, the new squire of the Xiaguan Household Department."
The new squire?
Suddenly remembering He Lou, Fang Jue nodded: "The officials of the household department, are they all present?" ”
Bai Yu arched his hand: "Young Master, of the eighteen officials in the household department, three of them were sick along the way and were put on hold. ”
Running long distances, with the physique of these literati, they are naturally prone to injury and fatigue.
Fang Jue didn't care about this: "It's good that you guys are here, we are laymen in disaster relief, we just temporarily control the situation, and you have to come to achieve a perfect aftermath." ”
"The young master's words are serious, I didn't see a single beggar and homeless when I came into the city, which shows that the young master has a way to provide disaster relief, and he is really modest." Bai Yu is also good at officialdom.
At this time, the people of the Hanging Sword Division ran from the city gate and said with joy:
"My lord, my lord, the grain team in Ganzhou has finally arrived!"
"The grain team has arrived, so soon?" Bai Yu and other household officials were all a little surprised, and they thought that they would have to wait at least three or five more days.
Fang Jue laughed: "Okay, today's adults from the household department arrived at the same time as the grain team from Ganzhou, which is really a great joy." ”
"Come on, take the adults from the household department down to rest first, and then arrange the disaster relief agenda later."
"Send someone to pick up the food team, there must be no more accidents!"
Bai Yu bowed: "The lower official retired." ”
He wanted to say that he could take over the disaster relief now, but he couldn't stand the turmoil for days, so he had to get some sleep.
After sending off the household officials, Fang Jue immediately took Ye Hongyi and a few people to the south city gate.
The remnants of Beiliang's defeated generals did not appear this time, and I don't know if they were really exterminated.
On the barren plains, a white ribbon finally appeared, and when you looked closely, you could see that it was all the oilcloth wrapped on the grain cart, used to repel water.
Otherwise, after a long journey, the grain would have been damp and sprouted, and where could it be sent to Suzhou.
"Wow......"
The hooves of war horses crank, with a loud sound, which was the sound of horseshoes colliding with the ground.
Lu Xin came on horseback, his armor was stained with blood, and when he saw Fang Jue and the others, he shouted: "My lord, I'm here, haha......"
"Drive!"
Soon, Lu Xin dismounted in front of Fang Jue and arched his hand: "The last general is fortunate not to be dishonored, and the grain team has been escorted here without the slightest defect!" ”
Looking at the blood on his armor, everyone could imagine that he must have been intercepted along the way.
"It's hard work, General Lu go down and rest, and then hand it over to the Yulin Army." Lin Bei arched his hand.
"Good!" Lu Xin smiled, and let the people of the Yulin Army bring them into the city, he was really tired.
"The grain team is coming?"
"Look, everyone, the imperial court's disaster relief food has arrived!"
The people outside Suzhou shouted first, and then the people in the city heard the gushing out and crowded at the door.
Dian Yi and Ye Hongyi surrounded Fang Jue very skillfully, staring at the crowd left and right, for fear that someone would hide among the people and wait for an opportunity to assassinate.
"It's really here, it's food, it's all food!" The people of Suzhou were overjoyed.
"Woo woo......" Someone cried on the spot.
"The court still reads our ...... The court is thinking of our people in Suzhou! ”
"Long live Your Majesty!" Many people knelt on the ground and thanked the emperor, "Ten thousand years of Great Xia!" ”
"It's good if the food is here, it's good when it's here......" Many people cried with joy.
In order not to take risks, Fang Jue was still escorted by everyone, took himself to the side of the south gate, and returned to the city with a hanging basket.
It is not known whether there are any Beiliang people in the city now, and if they are assassinated in public, it will definitely affect the relationship between the court and the people.
"Young Master, now that the disaster relief food has arrived, shouldn't we collect and deploy our troops?"
"Has your majesty's letter arrived?" Fang Jue knew what everyone meant by asking this.
Ye Hongyi shook his head: "Not yet." ”
"Then I'm waiting, I can't give people a handle, let alone make His Majesty feel that I can make decisions for him." Fang Jue had long figured out this, if he wanted to stay in Great Xia and do more, he had to convince this emperor that he would not threaten him.
This kind of trust needs to not touch the bottom line of each other.
The bottom line of the emperor is the imperial power, and the most intuitive imperial power is the administrative and military power, of which the military power is the most untouchable.
"Wait, tonight at most?" Ye Hongyi didn't dare to guarantee it.
At night, the household officials all woke up, and Lu Xin also slept full, and reported the accident on the way with Fang Jue.
When everyone gathered together and was handing over the disaster relief, Bai Qing and Ye Hongyi broke in, holding something in their hands.
Fang Jue's eyes were sharp, and he immediately walked out.
"Your Majesty has sent a letter?" Fang Jue said excitedly.
"Congratulations, young master!"
Ye Hongyi said with a smile: "Your Majesty has appointed you as the general of the Northern Expedition, and you will lead the Suzhou Yulin Army, the Liangzhou Battalion and the Lizhou Battalion to attack, at least to take the three states of the Northern Liang Border, including Rinzhou!" ”
"Conquering the north and rebelling against the general?" Fang Jue frowned, a little confused, "Your Majesty's current official position, right?" ”
There are many official positions like this in history, and the emperor can make himself a general on a whim.
Ye Hongyi was also a little excited: "This is the rank of military attache from the second grade!" ”
"There really is such a position......" Fang Jue was surprised, and then said with a straight face, "Then immediately order the third battalion!" ”
Lin Bei had already come out, and after hearing it clearly, he said worriedly: "It's just a secret letter from the flying pigeon, I'm afraid that the three battalions will not dare to move at this time, and there is no holy decree or military talisman." ”
"Holy Decree Talisman?"
Ye Hongyi spread out the letter paper in his hand and said, "Does this head print count?" ”
After that, everyone looked at the letter in her hand, and a Son of Heaven Treasure Seal was stamped on the secret letter, covering the entire contents.
Everyone was surprised that there had never been such an operation since the beginning of this dynasty.
