It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that the four people in the secret room of the Gathering Hall dispersed. No one except the person concerned knows what several people talked to. It's not right, in fact, few people know that the four of them are together.

Two old stubborns! These are the words used by Wu.

It's like the stone in the thatched house is smelly and hard, Chao Gai gave an evaluation.

The minds of two people who have been deeply poisoned by culture are by no means so easily reversed. Although he was seduced by the pie painted by Chao Gai, he didn't say anything after all.

I don't know how to choose in the end!

In the darkness of the night, the Flying Camp agent quietly followed the two like ghosts. The frequency of the Chaofu patrol guards is unpredictable, and the mansion is quietly under martial law.

Chao Gai is eager for talents, Corporal Lixian. But it doesn't mean that you are ignorant, and you can't accept those who know your ambitions, so you can only click. Even capable ministers and national heroes in history are no exception.

Just as he learned that he almost killed Wang Yu, he only felt no guilt.

To become a hegemon, you have to be ruthless and take into account the overall situation.

"I hope the two old stubborns don't make it difficult for me!" After Chao Gai and Wu Yong separated, they looked at the direction of the two courtyards, and after sighing, they went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, at the end of the day.

Chao Gai, who couldn't get up in the warm quilt, was dragged out of bed by his wife for morning exercises. After washing up and eating breakfast, I practiced my swordsmanship the martial arts field, and practiced with Huazi and Hu Sanniang, one-on-one or one-on-one.

It's almost a daily necessity.

Chao Gai's diet and daily life, and the norms of behavior, Li Qingzhao and they will all take it into consideration. It's almost impossible to sleep with a beautiful woman in your arms as usual.

Near noon, Huazi, Jerodari went to the barracks.

Chao Gai greeted his wife and took Hu Sanniang to Shuibo Liangshan.

Liu Menglong was originally the commander of the naval army of Jiankang Mansion in Jinling. When he was born, his mother dreamed of a black dragon that flew into her womb and gave birth. When he grows up, he is good at water. He once had meritorious service in begging for thieves in the Xichuan Gorge, commanded 15,000 naval troops, and guarded the south of the Yangtze River.

Because of the grain trade between Chao Gai and the imperial court, the eunuch group remembered the Jiankang Water Master. A summons sent some ships to transport grain. Despite their reluctance, they had to submit to the eunuchs' dispatches.

These guys who eat people and don't do anything can kill people by gossiping behind their backs. Liu Menglong had to choose a large ship to help, and by the way, he was almost. Therefore, there was an intersection with the eunuchs, and he also embarked on the road of no return.

After that, I won't repeat it.

Anyway, Liu Tongzhi has not been in a very good mood recently, and he has a kind of depression.

Since offending the eunuch eunuch party, he risked his life to help Zhao Tan fail to attack Liangshan. took the initiative to swim to the camp of the Liangshan Water Army to surrender, although he was courteous, eating and drinking spicy, but for most of the month, he failed to see the owner of the village.

has always been idle, and has looked for Liangshan military division many times, and the reply he got is "the owner of the village has not returned, don't be anxious" and something like that. There is no arrangement.

This is a little unacceptable to Liu Menglong, who is bent on making contributions. Especially when the wind in the upper reaches of Liangshan came, it was even more urgent.

What kind of rumors?

It was the soldiers of the forbidden army and sailors who were captured that time, and there were thousands of them. Liangshan held a grievance meeting to teach these people a class to popularize the people's desire to live and work in peace and contentment, and the people of Jiangnan suffered from Huashigang, etc.

Coupled with the sensation brought by the pension of the Liangshan martyrs, these are mostly soldiers from low-level families, and even recruits from nearby state capitals, first one by one, then one by one, and finally into groups of soldiers, where they are assigned according to the actual situation.

There are also some people who are unwilling to work as coolies.

There are many rumors that these people are not interested and will be secretly executed! Similar to this phenomenon, it is not that the government has not done nothing when it has suffered heavy losses in suppressing bandits.

Liu Menglong was very worried about his execution, especially if his family arrived. I knew earlier, so I shouldn't have asked Liang Shan to bring my family to me in order to show my loyalty, resulting in an accident, and none of them could escape.

This is what Liu Menglong is worried about, and he has appealed many times for the safety of his family to show his loyalty. I want to seek a position in Yangsan and gain a firm foothold completely.

When he thought of the ghost he was like now, his teeth itched with hatred for those eunuchs. If it weren't for those dead eunuchs, he would probably still be at ease in Jiankang. Why did it end up like this? Regret not being at the beginning!

Liu Menglong, when he was borrowing wine to kill his sorrows in the courtyard, a heavily armed herald rushed in outside, saying that the military advisor had been invited and the owner of the village had returned.

This immediately made the somewhat decadent Liu Menglong shudder. Immediately, he was a little overwhelmed. gave himself a slap in the face, went into the house to change his clothes, cleaned up, greeted his family and followed the herald to the Juyi Hall, until he came to the door of the side hall, and entered with some trepidation, and saw Zhu Wu, the master of the divine machine, smiled and nodded at himself. Signaling that the person with his back to him is the master of the cottage,

"The last general, Liu Menglong, visited the owner of the village." Liu Menglong stepped forward and bowed in greeting. It's just that when the man turned around and saw his face clearly, his eyes were round, and his mouth was as big as a dying catfish.

"Chao Chao, Chao ......" he pointed to the man and couldn't speak for a long time.

The reason why Liu Menglong said this is because the person he saw was Chao Gai. He guessed that the owner of the village was not Bai Xiushi Wang Lun, and he thought that he might be an old man, and he also thought that he was a fierce and strong man, but he never thought that it would be like this.

It turned out to be an acquaintance, Chao Gai.

Chao Gai! The head of Jeju's soldiers and horses turned out to be the owner of Shuibo Yangsan? Liu Menglong thought of this shocking fact, rubbed his eyes and confirmed it again.

Chao Gai knew that the other party would have this expression, but he didn't care, he would slowly get used to it. smiled and waved his hand: "Hehe, Liu Tongzhi, long time no see." ”

"Chao... Mr. Chao? Liu Menglong was still skeptical when he heard the familiar voice.

"It's me, come, sit down and say." Chao Gai waved his hand and motioned for the other party to sit down.

For Liu Menglong, he has no malice. This naval army general has the ability to have. In the original trajectory, he was just a blind command, eager for quick success. He also spared his life, and the first crusade against Shuibo Liangshan ran away when he saw that the situation was not good. The second diving was caught by Li Jun, Zhang Heng caught Niu Bangxi, and wanted to be solved on the cottage, but he was afraid that Song Jiang would be released again. The two heroes discussed with themselves, killed the two on the side of the road, and cut off their heads.

To tell the truth, this man died more unjustly.

Naval generals were already scarce, and Chao Gai made up his mind to take them for his own use from the beginning. However, the change could not catch up with the plan, but the meeting again was at this time.

"Chao... Mr. Chao, why are you here? Liu Menglong sat down as he said, but only sat on half of his buttocks, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Chao Gai thought about it, and replied in a true and false way: "This is actually more than a year ago, I hit Liangshan, and Wang Lun has fulfilled his long-cherished wish. ”

"Then why don't you report to the court for credit?" Liu Menglong regretted it when he asked this. Because he thought of the identity of the official of the Chao Gai court, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Chao Jiazhuang alone, and there were at least tens of thousands of troops on Liangshan.

With so many soldiers and horses, the purpose is self-evident!

Sure enough, Chao Gai's next sentence made him look complicated.

Because Chao Gai said with a smile: "Report to the imperial court? What are the benefits? Instead of being rewarded, he will go to the north to be cannon fodder. You think I'm stupid? Someone in the court wants my life, how can I sit still and wait for death? ”

Although this is subtle, the meaning expressed is very obvious.

If you don't want to be killed, you will secretly draw strength to protect yourself.

Liu Menglong doesn't believe that he is just protecting himself, if he resists, then he will resist to the end. So I guessed Chao Gai's intentions and hid it from everyone.

"Menglong, you are a smart person who also wants to fulfill your ambitions. It's a pity that the navy of the imperial court is either performing or transporting grain, at most to assist in suppressing bandits. You are nominally not low, but in fact you don't have enough weight in your words. Chao Gai saw that the man had stabilized, and said with a smile.

"You have the ability and are not willing to be ordinary, I will give you this stage. He first served as a deputy general in the Ninth Army of the Navy and assisted Li Bao in leading the Marine Army. Not in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, after the New Year, he went to the overseas Gongwei base area. ”

"Overseas? Sea... Overseas bases? Liu Menglong was shocked when he heard this. The Ninth Army of the Navy sounds very large, and the overseas base areas are even more incredible. Could it be that this Shandong Skynet has already made a move overseas?

Yes, it has long been rumored that Jeju Chaogai bought a ship to sail away to do business. Unexpectedly, there was a layout overseas, and gradually showed its fangs to the world.

"Dream Dragon! I wonder if you would like this arrangement? ”

After Chao Gai arranged this Liu commander, he glanced at him meaningfully.

"Little brother, meet brother!" Liu Menglong smiled bitterly in his heart. With a look of relief and joy on his face, he got up and bowed to Chao Gaina's head for a long time.

"Okay, I have to dream of dragons, and there is one more general in the navy."

Just when Chao Gai Liu Menglong was interested and happy, he arranged a banquet to wait.

Chao Mansion elegant courtyard, Zong Ze called his two sons to the back room, wrote and painted on paper, and told Chao Gai in detail about the general trend of the world. Zong Ying, Zong Fang was silent, but his eyes were unspeakably frightened.

Zong Ze put his hands behind his back, his face was full of entanglement, and he walked around restlessly: "Hey, Chao Gai is a person, who governs the country and the world." But the road is crooked, how can the old man, as a Song person, collude? ”

After the old man's two sons glanced at each other, the eldest son Zong Ying smiled slightly: "Hehehe, father is not in a hurry, as the saying goes, in his position, you are just a general judge in Dengzhou, and it is not worth working hard for this matter." If you report to the imperial court, the head of Chao will be fine, but my family will be slaughtered. ”

"What do you mean?" Zong Ze stopped abruptly, his gaze sharp.

Compared with Zong Ze's old stubbornness, his two sons gave birth to the Zhezong era, which grew up in the Huizong period, and the late Song Dynasty was the darkest and most disheartening. Although he was deeply influenced by his parents, he was more enlightened after all.

The East is not bright, the West is bright!

Zong Ying, who was nearly forty years old, was depressed, and after a moment of silence, she persuaded her father: "Since ancient times, the world must be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time." At the end of the Han Dynasty, Sima usurped Wei Lijin. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties ended in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and at the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the Great Song Dynasty stood out, and the change of dynasties was the number of days......"

At the same time, there is another courtyard not far away. Uncle Zhang vaguely informed his two sons about the incident, facing the same conversation.

It can be said that this is a confrontation and collision of old and new concepts!
