Shopping centre.

Originally, it was a very small county town, far less prosperous than the closure and Kaecheng in the south, but as the relationship between the three kings of the Northern Domain and the Daqi court gradually became tense, the mall also became a "frontline buffer zone" between the three kings of the Northern Domain and the imperial court.

The first thing that successive county magistrates of the mall did was to strengthen the city wall, and the city walls in the east, west, north and south, and all directions were reinforced. The imperial court and the three kings of the Northern Domain also knew about it and let it go.

After the current mall was arranged by Zhou Ziru as the second line of defense of Daqi against Beiyi, the defense was more thorough.

At the south gate of the mall, a group of uninvited guests came. Dressed in black and robed, he can also see his face clearly, but he looks extremely ordinary, no different from ordinary passers-by. If there is any oddity, it is that there is not a single woman in this line.

"It's broad daylight, it's so hot, and you're dressed in black, who are these people?"

"I guess, which way of the masters on the rivers and lakes is it, didn't I hear that the Confucius Gate of Donglu has rushed to the north some time ago?"

"Which sect... There's not even a female disciple, it's just a man? This doesn't look like Shaolin's! Hey, it's coming, it's coming, stop and ask. ”

When the guards at the gate saw this group approaching, they hurriedly beckoned the people, and then walked forward: "Stop, what are you doing?" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Among the black-clothed people, there was a young man behind him who shouted loudly, quite intimidating.

The black-clothed man at the head stretched out his hand and stopped the young man behind him: "Since our family entered Beijing, just like the saint, we have never come out." I don't know where this has gone, dare to ask this little brother, which city is this? ”

The voice was shrill, and the soldier guarding the door had never heard such a strange sound.

"Who the hell are you? Can you talk well? When the two soldiers saw someone coming behind them, they became a little more emboldened and retorted.

The black-clothed man at the head looked the soldiers up and down, and still said with a smile in a sharp voice: "The whole body, there is not even a pair of armor, and it seems that it is not the soldiers and horses of the Yulin Army and the rest of the domain, who led you?" Go and call him to our house. ”

"Let's just say, Wang Zhenliang is outside the city."

The person who came turned out to be Wang Zhenliang, the housekeeper in the palace!

Soldiers, look at me, let me look at you, no matter how stupid you are, you know that this person in front of you is the chief eunuch in the palace, and it seems that the official position is not small.

A clever soldier had already turned around and ran towards the city, and the rest of the soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know whether to invite this official into the city or accompany him outside.

After a while, the generals, large and small, rushed out of the city, saw Wang Zhenliang, dismounted from afar, and came on foot.

"The last general will see the king!" All the generals saluted together.

Wang Zhenliang smiled: "Generals... There are too many gifts, our family is just a small manager in the palace, and we don't deserve a big gift from the generals. Saying that, Wang Zhenliang also returned the salute.

Wang Zhenliang is right, his chief of internal affairs is in Daqi, and when he counts the rank, it is only the fifth rank, and many of Daqi's generals are much higher in rank than him. But none of the generals dared to slack off, all of them saluted respectfully, and even some of them had to bow down their waists because they were hurt by the armor on their bodies.

Not for anything else, just because this Wang Guan is the closest person to the emperor.

"Generals, it's time to take it away, and it's time to torture the old slave. When the country is in trouble, it depends on the generals to contribute a lot! Wang Zhenliang also knew their thoughts, and let them worship for a while before he said something beautiful.

"I don't know if the general manager is in charge, it is now a wartime, and there is no good wine and banquet in the city, but I am afraid that the general will neglect the general Wang..."

Wang Zhenliang shook his head and smiled: "The generals really underestimate my king, I am in the palace, what delicacies have I never eaten?" Isn't it idle to come here and pick up delicacies? I heard that this north side doesn't eat that steamed bread and noodles? That's it! ”

"Steward Wang, please in the city!" The generals breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out their hands to invite Wang Zhenliang into the city.

Although there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, in the end, it is not enough to entertain Wang Zhenliang with steamed bread noodles, the meal is simpler, and Wang Zhenliang eats comfortably.

After a full meal and wine, one of the highest-ranking generals asked in a loud voice: "Dare to ask Chief Wang, why did you come to this mall if you don't accompany Your Majesty in the capital?" ”

"Your Majesty? Oh, Your Majesty has already gone to the Northlands! ”

As soon as Wang Zhenliang said a word, all the generals were surprised: "I'm waiting... I haven't seen a car pass by..."

"It must have been His Majesty's passing by late at night, and he never went to the city to rest. The old man came this time to find His Majesty. If there's no one around to serve, what's the deal? Wang Zhenliang covered his mouth with his hand, and was picking his teeth with a toothpick.

"That's... Manager Wang, the last general will send someone to prepare a car to escort Manager Wang to the north! "Don't miss an opportunity to be courteous.

Wang Zhenliang nodded, and then shook his head again, this time the surrounding generals were confused, do you agree or disagree?

"I think there are a lot of soldiers and horses in this mall, and there must be seventy or eighty thousand, right? What are so many soldiers doing here? ”

"Chief Wang, the total number of infantry and cavalry in the city is 150,000, but it is on the order of Zhou Xiang to garrison here."

Wang Zhenliang let out an "oh", continued to shake his head and smiled: "I can't win the first game, I still want to play the second game." Zhou Xiang is really attentive..."

"The old slave has a saying, everyone, listen to it, as for how to do it, it's up to you, what do you think?"

"But by the command of the king!" The generals hurriedly listened carefully.

Wang Zhenliang took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Straighten out the soldiers and horses, and go north with me." ”

Wang Zhenliang's voice was sharp and slow, but in the ears of these generals, it was no less than an earth-shattering thunderbolt.

The generals looked at each other, and no one responded for a while.

Wang Zhenliang didn't continue to speak, and everyone's reaction was also expected by him, after all, he was just a five-grade housekeeper. And these generals were stationed in the mall under the order of Zhou Ziru, so naturally they did not dare to disobey the military order.

"Mr. Wang... I'll have a military order with me," a general muttered.

Wang Zhenliang slowly put down the teacup: "Have you forgotten where Your Majesty is?" The military order is like a mountain, and our family knows it, but Your Majesty has a case..."

The crowd will continue to be silent, and the military order will not dare to disobey, but Your Majesty has a good word... They didn't dare to answer this.

Seeing this, Wang Zhenliang struck while the iron was hot and said: "If the princes follow me to the north to rescue the king, there will be two results. One is that Daqisheng defeated the north, so our family doesn't believe that Zhou Xiang will cure you for the crime of transferring troops without authorization. Even if you want to punish the crime, Your Majesty will intercede and pardon you. ”

"Either the Great Apocalypse is defeated and the North is victorious, and there is no need for Zhou Xiang to punish the crime, and the princes will be the body of the horse leather."

"If the princes don't go, there are two results. Beiyisheng, Your Majesty has a just in case... Oh, let's not talk about bad luck. If the Great Enlightenment wins, after the war, the meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and the princes... How far is it? ”

Wang Zhenliang's words were good and tempting, and all the generals looked at each other, all of them were a little moved, and a few people's butts had even quietly left the stool, and they were about to stand up to show their loyalty.

Everyone's reaction was expected by Wang Zhenliang, Zhou Ziru is the best at observing people, since these people were sent to the mall by Zhou Ziru, they must understand their temperament.

It is unlikely that they will take the initiative to do the things that they died on the battlefield and sacrifice their lives for the country, but if they can be tempted to benefit...

Wang Zhenliang chuckled lightly, and deliberately put the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds to the end, so that this matter would have the greatest impact on these people, and they could listen to it. They don't need to be very clear, they are all smart people, and they will think it through themselves.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, a person slapped the table and stood up, it was a young general.

"Zhou Xiang's order, who dares to disobey? What is your intention when you eunuch wants to come and persuade us to lead the troops north? The situation of the Great Apocalypse is not unrelated to you, the eunuch who blows the wind in your ears! I will never disobey the order of Zhou Xiang and swear to stay in the mall! ”

The young general's actions startled everyone, and the brave generals who were used to fighting on the battlefield were frightened by a slap on the table... In fact, what they are afraid of is not the slapping of the table, but the young general's sentence of "eunuch"...

Wang Zhenliang raised his eyelids lightly, paused, and said, "Who is the little general?" We've never seen it before. ”

"This person's name is Xing Pei, and he is a thousand generals in the army..."

"Mr. Qian?" Wang Zhenliang's tone was raised a little.

It's not that he looks down on people, it's just that some generals and deputy generals are not sure to be able to participate, how can he sit here in a grand manner?

Wang Zhenliang looked at everyone, and everyone looked embarrassed, only the nearest general beside him said in a low voice: "This person voted for Taishi Li first, and he didn't pay attention to it." After the fall of Taishi Li, he turned to find Zhou Xiang's subordinates..."

"Oh~" Wang Zhenliang suddenly realized: "I see, like you, you are also a loyal person..."

Xing Pei's face was proud, and he refused to look at Wang Zhenliang with his head raised: "Eunuch!" ”

Wang Zhenliang stood up, lowered his head and paced, with a hint of a smile on his face, but the generals looked like this... Something is wrong...

"Our family likes faithful people, even if they are foolish? At least such people have a purpose and know what they have to do. But foolishness and loyalty also divide people, follow the wrong person, and annoy people, which is not good. ”

"What do you say?"

Unconsciously, Wang Zhenliang had already walked to Xing Pei's side, raised his head, and smiled, his face full of murderous intent.

Xing Pei was so frightened that he took two steps back, but he came back to his senses that the other party was just a eunuch, and he was so old, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Just when he was about to step back and didn't want to show his timidity, Wang Zhenliang's palm was already lightly pressed on his chest.

"Bang!"

The whole person crashed out directly, the wooden door behind him was directly shattered, and Xing Pei himself fell out of the door with sawdust, spitting blood, and he was about to die.

The generals were so shocked that they all stood up, and instinctively touched the weapons on their waists.

Wang Zhenliang glanced left and right, and the generals didn't dare to look at each other, and their hands slowly retracted.

"Our family's words have been made very clear, this Lord Qianzong has disregarded His Majesty's safety, I'm afraid he is going to rebel!"

The generals nodded again and again: "The chief manager is right, he is right!" ”

"Zhugong, think about it, it's getting late today, and tomorrow morning, our family will be on the road. Where to go, the public is at their own convenience. After Wang Zhenliang finished speaking, he strode out of the door.

The generals swallowed a mouthful of saliva at this time, you look at me, I look at you, no one has anything to say.

What else is there to consider about this? The end is already obvious...

Wang Zhenliang, the chief administrator of the palace, looks weak on weekdays, who would have thought that he would have such a strong martial arts...
