Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice.

At this moment, Xia Fangzheng perfectly interpreted this sentence.

originally planned to use the matter of privately manufacturing weapons to treat Chen Mo's capital crime, but he didn't expect that the other party actually had the waist card of the head of the city defense army.

In this way, the nature of the matter changes completely.

From a great sin to a great achievement, he turned over in one fell swoop.

What made Xia Fangzheng even more unacceptable was what Chen Mo then took out, which was actually a contract document for the purchase of weapons.

It not only has the signature of Yang Qi, the county defense general of Chengbaihe County, but also a special seal, which is true and effective.

In this way, Xia Fangzheng had nothing to say at all.

The weapons were custom-procured by the city defense army.

Moreover, Chen Mo was also hired as the head of the city defense army, no matter from which point of view, the other party is innocent.

On the contrary, it has also made great contributions.

That sword, that repeater, that longbow, any of them are heavy weapons that can turn the tide of battle.

"Lord Xia, do you have anything else to say?"

Xiahou Zhen's question was an understatement, but he was actually slapping Xia Fangzheng's face fiercely.

Glad!

Only these two words can describe Xiahou Zhen's mood.

In the eyes of others, he, the general of the border guard, is majestic and beautiful.

But only he knows in his heart how many grievances he has suffered in the past few years.

Staying away from the capital, on the surface, he was entrusted with a heavy task, but in fact, he was squeezed out of the core circle of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Otherwise, Xia Fangzheng would not have been sent as a supervisor.

Asking about everything, restricting everywhere, under the appearance of harmony, in fact, the two have already had irreconcilable contradictions.

The most hateful thing is that Xia Fangzheng is still pulling the mountain in the fortress, and the people who charge into the battle can't buy it, so he has started to think about logistics.

Today, Xia Fangzheng has de facto control of Dongying and Beiying.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

Under the rat trap, Xiahou Zhen can only compromise.

After all, Xia Fangzheng's background is very big, with holy will is on the one hand, and the biggest reliance is still the Xiangye behind him.

As today's saints become more and more old, they are becoming more and more powerless to control the affairs of the court, and Xiangye, who is the uncle of the country, has taken over the power.

It can be said that there is still a way to live if you collide with today's saints, but if you provoke that Xiangye, you will die.

Because behind Xiangye, there is also his queen sister and the crown prince who has been canonized for many years.

It is no exaggeration to say that above today's court, the princelings are the biggest force.

And this is the root of Xiangye's call for wind and rain and rampant unscrupulous.

Of course, there is a saying that it is not about oneself, the princelings are powerful, and those who do not like the power of the court can stay away completely. Even if you can't do it alone, at least you can be less involved in right and wrong.

However, Xiahou Zhen didn't even have such a chance.

Without him, marriage!

The daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty has already entered the general's mansion.

In other words, Xiangye is Xiahou Zhen's father-in-law.

This is the real reason why Xiahou Zhen couldn't move Xia Fangzheng.

The marriage did not have the slightest emotion at all, and over time, it also became a thorn in Xiahou Zhen's heart.

It can't be pulled out, it can't be melted, like maggots attached to the bones, tormented day and night.

At this moment, he finally seized an opportunity, Xia Hou Zhen naturally would not let it go, and he had to clean up Xia Fangzheng fiercely.

If he could use this to expel him from the fortress, Xiahou Zhen was willing to pay for the three armies out of his own pocket.

And the person who contributed to all this was Chen Mo.

Lucky generals!

With these two words in his mind, Xiahou Zhen also liked Chen Mo more and more.

In the face of danger, brave and strategic, calm and calm, not alarmed.

What Xia Houzhen admires the most is that Chen Mo can not only teach, but also be competent for military positions.

What is it called?

Wen can put pen to peace in the world, and Wu can go to the horse to determine the world.

This kind of talent should be rewarded and reused.

Diametrically opposed to his mood was Xia Fangzheng, at this moment, he truly realized what it means to ride a tiger.

So much so that in the face of Xiahou Zhen's questioning, he didn't know how to answer.

It took a long time before he responded calmly.

"General, people are not sages, who can do nothing, it is indeed my negligence. But I would like to ask Chen Jiaoyu, why didn't these two things come out earlier? ”

Xia Fangzheng is worthy of being a person who plays with power, and he pointed the finger at Chen Mo in one sentence.

The meaning of the words could not be more obvious, the other party is deliberately creating contradictions.

To put it more seriously, it is clearly to give him eye medicine for the prison army.

"Okay, Lord Xia, since the matter is clear, don't pursue those details anymore."

Xiahou Zhen knew the intentions of this prison army, so he stood up to protect Chen Mo.

"If you really want to say it, you can only blame Sect Chen for coming to the fortress for the first time and not experiencing similar occasions. However, in the eyes of this general, he has already behaved very well, and if he were to face the prison army in a different way, I am afraid that he would have been frightened and lost his soul a long time ago. ”

"The general is serious, and those who don't know still think that this official is a man-eating demon?"

Xia Fangzheng made a perfunctory haha, and made a final attack on Chen Mo.

I don't believe it, I can't clean up such a hairy boy.

"Sect Chen, the ins and outs of the weapon are clear, and Lord Ben is here to say sorry to you."

"Don't dare." Chen Mo gave his hand.

"It's wrong, the official should admit it, but the matter should be investigated or investigated." Xia Fangzheng changed his words and said, "Since Sectarian Chen has a military position, he has to ask a deep question, why do you insist on going to the enemy country?" ”

"Lord Hui, I have already said before I go down, do business." Chen Mo's answer was fluent.

"The business that Sect Chen wants to do is not to sell the secret method of forging weapons to the enemy country, right?" Xia Fangzheng continued to dig the pit.

“……”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.

Without him, the questions are too sharp, the questions are too rude, and the questions cannot be answered.

Say yes, capital offense.

Say no, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who can guarantee that after Chen Mo leaves the customs, he will not do anything to betray the interests of the military state for his own selfish interests.

"Lord Xia, you shouldn't ask this." Xiahou Zhen's voice became colder.

At the same time, he also determined that Xia Fang was determined to kill Chen Mo.

"General, should I ask or not, this officer knows in his heart, and this matter can be heard through the sky, as a prison army, I must ask clearly."

"Chen Mo, then you can talk about it, what kind of business do you go to the other side? If you don't reassure the overseer, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of the fortress. ”

In desperation, Xiahou Zhen could only hope for Chen Mo's answer.

If you really can't do it, you can only tear your face and protect it.

Chen Mo didn't panic in the slightest, glanced at Xia Fangzheng with a smile, and took out a piece of paper from his arms.

"General, Lord Xia, please take a look."

"What is this?" Xiahou Zhen was puzzled.

"Business."

Chen Mo presented it and explained loudly.

"There are two materials that are indispensable in the weapons I forge. It's just that the origin of these two things is outside the customs. ”

"And that's the business I'm going to do on this trip."

"Lord Xia thinks, should I go?"
