Listening to Ning Xiaochuan's self-deprecating answer, Zhao Xihe smiled softly, "Or maybe they did it on purpose." ”

Ning Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said again, "Old General Zhao, you are from the Xiangzhou Army, although you left the army because of my father, why do you refuse to see my eldest brother, just because he is a member of the army?" Now that my father is gone, you still won't forgive him? ”

Speaking of General Ning, Zhao Xihe's expression was more or less complicated, some were pity, some were unwilling, and some were angry.

"In fact, I have always admired the old general, but admiration does not mean recognition, your father enlisted in the army and pulled up the Ning family army to take a few of our brothers to fight the world in the south and north.

The whole army respected and admired him, but he chose to be foolish and loyal, loyal to the son of heaven who was not a man in the Ning family's army, Xiangzhou battle, the Ningjia army 150,000 soldiers were sharply reduced by 100,000, and one-third of the soldiers died in Xiangzhou, but the son of heaven didn't even say a word, and finally even suspected that your father wanted to establish himself as the king.

At that time, I said, since the Son of Heaven doesn't believe it, then what if we stand on our own, with the strength of my Ning family's army, even if I can't take the whole territory of Dafeng, there is still no problem in taking three or four states, but it's a pity that your father would rather choose to go to Yindu to show his loyalty than to establish himself as the king. ”

"Xiangzhou was the border of the three kingdoms before it was included in the land of Dafeng, and it was a place where the three kingdoms were at the junction of the war, and the people were sparsely populated for many years, and the people of Xiangzhou suffered from war all year round, and my father didn't want the people of Xiangzhou and the people of the world to experience war, how cruel the war was, and the people involved knew best." Ning Xiaochuan said with emotion.

"Your eldest brother is too much like your father, I don't want to see him, your father's experience is there, I'm old, I don't want to see the Ning family die in Yindu anymore." Zhao Xihe's words made Ning Xiaochuan feel a little distressed, and he felt sorry for his eldest brother.

"Old general, you know my intentions, so aren't you afraid that I will be the same as my eldest brother and father? Be what you call a foolish person? Ning Xiaochuan asked rhetorically.

"If you Ning Xiaochuan are really like this, then you will not bring the Eastern Emperor Zhong to Xiangzhou, but go to Yindu to face the saint." Zhao Xihe said it very easily.

Ning Xiaochuan laughed, "Then listening to the tone of the old general, are you willing to help me?" ”

Zhao Xihe took a deep breath and said slowly, "The Xiangzhou army attaches great importance to military merits, if you want to enter the army without military merits, it is difficult to gain a foothold, even if I help you, it may not be effective." ”

"This junior knows, but as long as the seniors can help, the juniors have a way to deal with it." Ning Xiaochuan said with a smile.

Looking at Ning Xiaochuan's confident eyes, Zhao Xihe instantly became interested.

"It's a little interesting, the general will wait and see, when you return to Dunhuang, let someone write a letter, I will help you, by the way, it's been more than 20 years, Xiangzhou Army is still not the Ningjia Army of the year......"

"Thank you, old general!"

Ning Xiaochuan stayed in the villa for most of the day, and Zhao Xihe wanted to stay with him for a few more days, but Ning Xiaochuan thought that Zheng Guangyuan was still waiting outside, so he refused Zhao Xihe's kindness and left Cuiping Villa.

The two walked on the mountain trail, Zheng Guangyuan couldn't help but say, "With the help of General Zhao, you can save a lot of trouble when you go back to Dunhuang, so what next?" To meet a few other generals? ”

Ning Xiaochuan stopped to ponder, and said after a while, "Yes, I have to see, but I don't plan to go in person, General Zhao is right, since I have chosen such a way back to Dunhuang, then I have to try the effect first." ”

Zheng Guangyuan looked at Ning Xiaochuan puzzled, but from Ning Xiaochuan's confident gaze, he seemed to understand something.

At this time, he remembered what Ning He said to him when he left Dunhuang, Ning Xiaochuan's ability was not below him, and even far above him and his father.

……

With the implementation of the new policy, the life of the people of Yindu is getting better and better, there are many shops, some shops are placed at the gate of the city, for this reason, the Ministry of Industry even began to expand Yindu, the fullness of the treasury so that the Ministry of Industry has the confidence to open this opening.

However, this proposal was ultimately rejected by Gao Yuan, and now Yu Gongming and Wei Zhengol are implementing military reform in the Praetorian Guard, which also puts forward high requirements for armaments.

In order to satisfy Yu Gongming, Gao Yuan deliberately spent a lot of money to order the weapons and armor of the soldiers from Jingzhou, as for how powerful, Yu Gongming said that if he was well-trained, his combat effectiveness would be comparable to that of the Northern Barbarian Tie Le Tu.

As the most famous restaurant in Yindu, the business of Zhenbao Zhai is getting better and better, everyone is getting richer and richer, and the number of restaurants is naturally increasing.

On this day, a wave of guests came to Zhenbao Zhai, the number was not much, only three people, but after learning that it was a regular customer, the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Zhai came out to greet him in person.

There is no other reason, just because the leader is the younger brother of His Majesty today, Gao Chang, the king of Pingchuan, who originally needed to sneak out of the palace to come to Zhenbao Zhai, has now become a frequent place for Gao Chang to patronize, and has his own private room on the highest floor.

This time, there were two people behind Gao Chang, who were not ordinary people in terms of dress, and the latter one was still a woman dressed as a man, but the technique was still a little immature, and he couldn't hide it from the showcase.

At a glance at the showcase, I guessed that it was the daughter of the rich and noble lady in the capital, who was eyed by the prince, according to the age, the prince is not young, if it can really be done, put a few tables in their treasure house, he can drink a sip of wine, see the big man in the city, and he has not worked in vain for so many years.

As for the white-faced bearded man next to him, the shopkeeper was a little unguessable, and he wore a satin that looked exquisite, but for some reason his eyes were cloudy, making people dare not look at it.

Gao Chang took the two behind him to his separate cubicle, and after sitting down, he smiled at the woman next to him who was clumsy, "Miss Cheng, how is this place?" ”

She smiled coldly, "It's quite a façade, and the treasure of Yindu is worthy of its reputation." ”

"Hahaha."

Gao Chang smiled loudly, "Miss Cheng, Mr. Song, the teacher asked me to entertain the two of you, and this Wang Silai can only go here, and you can order whatever you want." ”

The woman bowed her head and said, "Lord Wang, you can eat this meal at any time, you still need to say a few more words about the matter of the fifth son of the Ning family you said, so as not to have an accident when we go to Xiangzhou." ”

Gao Chang drank a glass of wine, and said while drinking, "This Ning Xiaochuan is also a talent, when he was in Yindu, he pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, slipped out of the hands of my eldest brother and second brother and Zhongfu, and returned to Yindu two years later and secretly went to Beiban to find the twelve national weapons, in fact, I also have a friendship with him, and it is not shallow."

But the teacher said that this kid has the general fate of the national fortune, and if this person does not die, it will be difficult for the national fortune to converge on the dragon vein, and even if he is divided a little, it will be fatal to Dafeng. ”

"It is not easy to kill Ning's family in Xiangzhou." The shadow man next to him snorted coldly.

Gao Chang's eyes showed a coldness that was rare at this age.

"In today's world, it seems that the new policy is implemented under the management of my eldest brother, so that Dafeng has become richer and stronger, but in fact, there are also hidden dangers, I can't tell you what it is, but I can assure you that what the teacher promised you is what the king promised, and if it is done well, the king will have another reward."

The woman nodded, picked up the delicacies on the table with exquisite bamboo chopsticks, admired them in front of her for a long time, and finally said slowly, "No matter where he Ning Xiaochuan is hiding, I will find him out and cramp and peel his bones." ”

Gao Chang didn't think that the words of the woman in front of him were joking, because he had seen with his own eyes how this god master smashed the head of a god master who was also a god master with one palm.

Cheng Huahua, the woman's name, is unpretentious, and it sounds like a rural village woman, when the woman was a little girl, she was sold to a local fifty-year-old squire because her family was poor.

The three years in the squire's house were the most desperate of the little girl, and the squire was later beheaded for a crime, and the officer saved her when he saw her covered in wounds in prison.

Now, this official who brought her new life has long since passed away, but fortunately, she has outstanding talent in martial arts, and she has achieved positive results by relying on a few secret books left to her by the official, and has become a terrifying female killer on the rivers and lakes.

The man's name is Song Shixin, and he is a ruthless character who has crawled out of the black market in Yindu, and there are not 100 or 80 lives in his hands, and anyone can be killed only if he gives money.

But he also missed, when he went to Xiangzhou to assassinate Ning He, he was shattered by a gun-wielding master, which also made Song Shixin's right arm fall forever, but it is undeniable that Song Shixin is still a first-class master in the black market.

As for how Gao Chang got to know the two, it's a long story, but there is inevitably a figure of Gao Chang in it.

This old monster from the Zongheng family, even Gao Chang can't see through it, he can always use means he can't think of to find someone who can be used for himself.

Especially when this old guy told him that he would be crowned emperor in less than five years, he really wanted to see what was in the old thing's head.

Gao Yuan has just been on the throne for a year, and he said that he can ascend the throne in five years, which is either playing big chess or really having the ability to calculate the magic of the Daomen.

The three of them ate very quickly at a meal, especially Song Shixin and Cheng Huahua, they are both businessmen who add blood to the tip of the knife, whether they eat or do things, they are all vigorous and resolute, clean and neat, of course, this is exactly what Gao Chang wants, if he doesn't drag the mud and water, he won't be involved in himself.

"Fifth Master Ning, Fifth Master Ning, how good it would be if you followed me......" Gao Chang shook his head regretfully and said.

Jumbo Zhai is very lively, overlooking from the window, people come and go, Gao Chang drinks a cup of himself, and mutters the two poems he just learned.

The candlelight is late, and the daughter changes the liver and gallbladder.

Once proud, the chicken and dog can ascend to heaven.
