At dawn on December 10, 786, the main force of the Dìdū Supervision Office moved eastward, with the goal of reinforcing the troops in the western part of the country that were holding out in Oss. Although the strength of the Supervision Office is still strong. Knowing that this battle is not an ordinary battle, it is a decisive battle related to the fate of their own wealth, so everyone is doing their best. The gendarmerie of the Inspectorate alone numbered more than 80,000 men in 10 divisions -- the provinces expelled the Judge Advocate Advocate General's and Inspectorate's Offices where they were stationed, which in turn helped them all to gather in dìdū, and they were all collected by the Inspectorate to fight the war.

In addition to the gendarmerie troops, the troops of the Dìdū Military Region also went with them. The predecessor of the Dìdū Military Region was the Zōngyāng Army, the Southeast Army, the Expeditionary Army, and the Southwest Front Army of the Zichuan family—you can tell the resume and experience of this unit just by looking at its name—the soldiers of this army were all veterans, and they had left their footprints from the Snow Field of the Demon God Fort in the extreme east to the city of Heqiu in the southwestern border, and the soldiers were all Jīng Rui who had survived a hundred battles.

Back then, Zichuan Xiu dared to go deep into the wilderness to conquer the Demon Kingdom with a force of more than 100,000 people, because he had full confidence in the combat power of this army. Now, this strong army has been transferred to the command of Di Lin, if it can exert its full combat power, it will be a strong army that can destroy the country, but because it will be their old master Zichuan family who is about to fight, in Di Lin's words: "I believe in their combat power, but I can't believe in their loyalty." ”

It is also for this reason that the Supervision Office has done its utmost to guard against the troops of the Dìdū Military Region, not only reducing their personnel and funds in large quantities, reducing the size of the 110,000-man army of 13 divisions to 80,000 troops in eight divisions, but also placing a large number of military judges and intelligence agents in the army to suppress speech in the army. The slightest remark of dissatisfaction with the Inspectorate was immediately arrested by the intelligence officer, and all levels of command posts in the army were held by officers of the Inspectorate, who strictly controlled every move of the troops. And those officers who came from a non-supervision department system have become the targets of close surveillance at the moment, and they will be charged at the slightest change. Under such high-pressure control, this strong army of the past is tantamount to a slave army at this moment. Every night, a large number of officers and men fled - unlike usual, the number of officers and non-commissioned officers who fled even exceeded that of ordinary soldiers, which was unheard of in the past.

But in any case, with the gendarmerie as the main force, supplemented by the Dìdū Military Region, the main force of the Supervision Office has exceeded 160,000 troops in this battle, and in addition, the five provinces that are still on the side of the Supervision Department have also sent their own garrisons to help in the battle, although the strength of the provinces is not much, but the assembled strength is also 60,000 troops, if you add the Jinxi troops in Oss, the army of the Supervision Office will reach a frightening number: 300,000 troops!

In terms of numbers alone, such a force is indeed capable of competing with the Far Eastern Army, and the Inspectorate swore to the soldiers: "This will be an easy battle." Lord Di Lin is the number one general of the family, and under his wise command, the group of half-orcs who wear animal skins with wooden sticks and the demon bandits they collude with are definitely not our opponents. We have a 101st Special Division, a Jīng Rui Military Regiment, and a Family Expeditionary Force, and our army will be overwhelmed!"

However, propaganda is propaganda, and it would be amazing if someone in the world was deceived by the lies they had made up. The top level of the Supervision Office, including Dilin, is generally not optimistic about the outcome of this war. They were well aware of the toughness, tenacity, and durability of the orc warriors, as well as the superb command of Shikawa Hidena's transformation of decay into magic, and more importantly, pessimism was not due to the strength of the enemy, but only to the weakness of oneself.

One-third of the army had different intentions, and one-third were weak brigades that had never been in battle, so the odds of victory against the angry Far Eastern army could be imagined. In the face of the inevitable defeat, the high-level officials of the Supervision Department had different appearances, with Gopra having a calm face, Shaburo hiding in the tent even during the day and getting drunk and drunk; Bai Xia hid in the tent all day without seeing anyone, and no one knew what he was thinking; only Lu Zhen was relatively normal, but no one admired him -- half of the Supervision Office knew that he was planning to surrender the Far Eastern Army, but no one knew when he would do it.

At the same time as the Inspectorate made a big move, the base camp of the Far Eastern Rebel Army in the capital of Bartley also welcomed a special guest. A round-faced officer went straight to the Far Eastern Army camp and asked the guards to see Commander Zi Chuanning.

For so many days, the guards had long been accustomed to the requests of senior generals, but most of them asked to see Zichuan Xiu, and it was very rare for them to ask to see Zichuan Ning. Because the person in front of him was wearing a red-clothed uniform and was a high-ranking officer of the family, the guards did not dare to slack off: "May I ask Your Excellency's honorable name, any official position, and we can also inform Your Highness." ”

"Don't dare to be. Xia Guanyun, who served as a division commander in the Northwest Frontier Army and the Family Expeditionary Force, as for the current ......" The young red-clothed banner smiled shyly: "Xia Guan is just a messenger." ”

Because of the identity of the visitor, the guards immediately made a report, and in less than five minutes, he hurriedly walked back and said respectfully: "Lord Fang Yun, Your Highness has announced your visit." Please follow me. ”

"I'm tired. ”

Following the guards, Fang Yun walked into the compound. It was originally the official residence of Wu Hua, the governor of the province, and since the arrival of the Far Eastern Army base camp, it has become the temporary residence of Zichuanning. In order to curry favor with Zi Chuanning, Wu Hua took out all his savings to decorate, and tried to create a graceful and luxurious atmosphere, but the effect was really not flattering, but revealed a nouveau riche vulgarity.

In the waiting hall decorated with turquoise flowers, Fang Yun met the head of the Zichuan family and her head of the guard. At the door, he immediately knelt down on one knee and raised his voice: "Weichen knocks on His Royal Highness the Chief! His Highness is covered with dust, and Weichen can't save him, and he deserves death!"

What he shouted was also a cliché, but the sincere feelings in his voice made Zi Chuanning and Li Qing both moved. For so many days, there were many people who said this kind of thing in front of them, but there were few people like Fang Yun's pure and sincere words, most of them were dry and routine, and that perfunctory taste came out as soon as they heard it-although His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief is a very noble status, but now it is more important to hold the real power in the Far East!

It was not the first time that Fang Yun and Zi Chuanning had met. When Zi Chuanning was the commander of the Dìdūzhōngyāng Army, as the commander of the cavalry corps of the Northwest Frontier Army, Fang Yun had visited her many times. Now that they can see the old man again, Zi Chuanning and Li Qing are very happy.

"Fang Yun, get up quickly, come and sit down and talk. ”

"Yes, thank Your Highness for giving me a seat!" But Fang Yun refused to sit down, but prostrate on the ground: "Today, I can see that His Highness is safe and sound, and Wei Chen is really relieved in his heart. Your Highness, Wechen is here to ask you for your guilt!"

"Fang Yun, what are you guilty of?"

"Wechen is guilty of negligence. When the rìdìdū incident occurred, Weichen and others did not know the truth in Dak, and the Dilin rebels used clever words to deceive us, and as a result, Weichen, Wenhe, Starry and others were all fooled and deceived by the traitors, so that the military power was lost, causing great disaster for the country. Your Highness, this crime of Weichen is difficult to atone for, even if you die!"

Fang Yun's painting depicts the situation at that time: Stirling did not return for a long time, and the generals in the expeditionary force were leaderless, and Dilin suddenly appeared, crying with tears, and everyone was deeply shocked and moved.

Fang Yun cried: "At that time, we really didn't even have the slightest suspicion! I never thought it would be like that! Weichen regretted it later, and he wanted to wipe his neck with a knife, but he didn't take revenge, he was really unwilling!"

Zichuan Ning sighed slightly in her heart, in fact, when she fled on the road, she didn't resent Wen He and other expeditionary generals. If it weren't for them, how could she have fallen to the point of being chased by the Supervision Department all over the world? Later, after being sheltered by the Far East Army, her mood gradually calmed down, and then the news that Wen He and other generals died in the Dìdū uprising came out, and at that time, Zi Chuanning's heart was no longer resentful, and all that was left was the grief of losing her loyalty.

"I can't blame you for this. Di Lin is cunning and cunning, and anyone will be fooled. Fang Yun, you get up, sit down and talk well. ”

Fang Yun got up after saluting, and Li Qing said loudly: "Your Excellency Fang Yun, since Wenhe rebelled in dìdū, you have lost the news. At that time, His Highness thought that you were also killed like Wenhe, and he was very worried about you!"

Fang Yun bowed his head deeply: "Let His Highness cāo heart." After the failure of General Wenhe's uprising, the Supervision Department searched for us very closely, but fortunately several of my old subordinates hid me, and I was lucky enough to escape. ”

At this, he paused, observing the expressions of the chief and the chief of the guard. In what he said just now, he did a little trick, only saying that the Supervision Office was going to arrest him, which gave the listener the illusion that he was also a loyal member of the family who had started the incident with Wenhe.

It seemed that the effect of this little trick was not bad, and the chief god seemed to be more kind, and she said, "Then, after you get out of danger, why don't you come to us immediately?"

"Your Highness Qiqi, after escaping the danger, Wechen really wanted to immediately defect to His Highness the Chief, but thinking that Jiān had not been eliminated, and the blood revenge of the first Chief, Sterling and Wenhe and other adults had not been avenged, and Wechen, the person who made the mistake, really had no shame to return to His Highness. Before joining the expeditionary force, Weichen was an officer of the Northwest Frontier Army. Now that Lord Stirling and Lord Wenhe have died in battle, and the family expeditionary force has also been controlled by the rebels, the only way out for Weichen to return to the team is to defect to the Northwest Frontier Army, and now Weichen is serving under Lord Minghui. ”

"Northwest Frontier Army?" Hearing this word, Zi Chuanning and Li Qing exchanged glances, and their faces became strange.

The battle clouds were thick on the southeast plain, and the great battles were one after another, and the troops under the command of the Qin Wang Army and the Supervision Department of the provinces fought many battles, and suffered heavy casualties. But on the Northwest Plateau, there is an eerily tranquil. Although Minghui shouted loudly and said every day that he wanted to crusade against the rebellion, in fact, in the words of Zichuan Xiu: "Minghui is only his own wife who is crusading, right?"

Li Qing interjected: "I heard that the Northwest Frontier Army had sworn to rebel against King Qin last month, but I don't know where the soldiers and horses of King Qin of the Northwest Army have hit? Shouldn't they be lost in fighting with the Supervision Department?"

After speaking, she sneered, thinking that Fang Yun would blush with shame because of this, but the other party said to her very strictly: "The head of the Qing guard is worthy of being the person next to His Highness, and he is like a god!"

"Huh?"

"That's right, as you can imagine, the traitor steals the country's politics, and black and white are reversed. At this critical juncture when the country was ruined and the family was ruined, how could Lord Minghui, the commander who was known for his sincerity, loyalty and patriotism, stand by and watch? In response to His Highness's rebellious text, our border guards immediately drove from the northwest to dìdū to quell the chaos, and the army was as majestic as a cloud, and the soldiers were full of patriotic passion for the monarch and vowed to fight the rebels to the end, but the rebels of Dilin were afraid of the prestige of our king's division, and he sent countless soldiers and horses to block and intercept the army of our king of Qin in the northwest......

"So Commander Minghui fought with them and wiped out millions of rebels, but unfortunately there are still hundreds of thousands of rebels blocking the way, so there is no way to rush to King Qin?"

Fang Yun nodded solemnly: "Your Highness is really talented and wise, although the Northwest Frontier Army has not yet submitted an official report, Your Highness and the elder guards have already guessed the truth of the matter." ”

"You don't need to be talented, as long as anyone who has worked in the Command Office will know the bravery of Lord Minghui. ”

Zi Chuanning and Li Qing exchanged glances, a little helpless: "So, did the loyal Lord Minghui send you here to report the news?"

Fang Yun bowed respectfully and said, "Since His Highness was dusted, we haven't heard from His Highness for a long time, and we are very concerned. Your Highness, Lord Minghui has sent me here mainly to greet and greet you, and to listen to His Highness's holy voice. If His Highness has any orders and instructions, we will carry them out. How are you doing?"

"As you can see, I'm fine. Zi Chuan Ning groaned and said, "Sue sù Minghui, there's nothing wrong with me here." The Far East Road rebel army has fought with the rebels several times, and it is hoped that the northwest road rebel army will also act and speed up the pace of the offensive. ”

"Yes. His Royal Highness's Holy Voice Weichen should be conveyed to Commander Minghui. But ......" Fang Yun's expression was very strange, and he blinked: "Is there really nothing wrong with you?" Is there enough people around you? Is there any inconvenience with food, clothing, shelter and transportation? Is there anything unsatisfactory? Minghui and the Northwest Frontier Army are willing to help!"

Zi Chuanning looked at Fang Yun in confusion, not understanding what he meant. As for asking if there are any people around you, this is even more almost a joke, and no matter how difficult it is for the troops in the Far East, they will not be disadvantaged by themselves.

But Li Qing beside her understood, her eyes lit up, and she waved her hand to drive out all the servants in the waiting room, she ran to the door and looked at it carefully, closed the door and came back and asked, "Fang Yun, what does Lord Minghui mean?"

"It depends on what Your Highness means. Wechen dared to ask, is there any problem with His Highness's safety here?"

Zi Chuan Ning was surprised: "How can there be a problem with my safety? The Far Eastern Commander and his troops are guarding my ......."

The two subordinates looked at her with idiot-like eyes, and Li Qing coughed dryly: "Your Highness, Minghui is asking about the Far Eastern Commander." ”

Zi Chuanning suddenly came to her senses, she stood up suddenly, pointed at Fang Yun and said angrily, "You guys...... Minghui thinks that the Far Eastern Commanders have held me hostage and controlled me? That's what you're worried about!"

Under the angry gaze of the commander-in-chief, Fang Yun stood up and bowed deeply: "The commander of the Far East is an important minister of the country, and he is also a hero of the restoration of the country. Weichen dared to suspect the important ministers, and he was naturally guilty. But please remember that His Excellency Minghui is loyal and patriotic, and all his worries are out of love and concern for His Highness. Because, the commander of the Far East is not an ordinary Xinjiang minister, and the officers and soldiers of the Far East are not the children of the family, but the rebel army and the demon army of the year, who are arrogant and unruly, and have no loyalty to the family at all.

"Your Highness is among such people, and Lord Minghui is deeply worried about His Highness's safety, and it is difficult to sleep and eat at night. After all, although the rebellion of the Supervision Office was strong, the family had its own loyal and brave generals to suppress it, and it was expected that the rebels would not be able to resist the siege of King Qin's army from all sides. But if there is something wrong with His Highness's safety, then the orthodox inheritance of the Zichuan clan will be cut off, then it will be truly irreparable! His Excellency Minghui said that if His Highness is really subjected to any restraint or house arrest, then he will save His Highness even if he fights for his life!"

Fang Yunqing's sincere words were eloquent, but Zi Chuanning didn't appreciate it, she said coldly: "Now, Fang Yun, you have seen it with your own eyes, you can go back and tell Sù Minghui: I am very good, I don't need him to worry, let alone need him to save - what I mean is clear enough?"

Fang Yun bowed, his head almost drooping to his stomach. Seeing him so respectful, Zi Chuanning's anger calmed down for a moment and eased his tone: "I know, Fang Yun, it's not your fault, this is what Minghui meant—he shouldn't doubt the Far Eastern Commander." Xiuchuan is sincere for the country and is completely selfless. This time to conquer the rebels, he did not make any demands to his family, and it was wrong to suspect such a loyal and virtuous minister. Minghui has this spare time, it is better to have more cāo heart how to cooperate with the Far East Army to exterminate the rebels!"

Fang Yun bowed deeply again: "Wei Chen will definitely convey His Highness's will, and His Excellency Minghui will definitely follow it." ”

"Hmm. It's been hard for you to come all the way, so let's go down and rest first. Li Qing, you will arrange a place for him to live. ”

Li Qing and Fang Yun took the order. When he went out of the door, Li Qing sighed, Fang Yun glanced at her and asked, "Why is the guard elder sighing?"

Li Qing said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Fang Yun, Your Highness is in a bad mood today, and you have been sent down, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Fang Yun stood still and said sincerely, "How dare you." I am a courtier of my family, and thunder, rain and dew are holy graces. What's more, this matter was originally our recklessness, and we suspected the important ministers of the state for no reason, so it is no wonder that His Highness was angry. ”

"It's not necessarily groundless suspicion. Your Excellency Fang Yun, Lord Minghui is sincere and worried, but His Royal Highness is still young after all, and he is not very thoughtful about things, and he is easy to be emotional. I also believe in people too much. ”

"Lord Guard, what do you mean ......?"

"It's okay now, and it's hard to guarantee that he's okay. The key to imperial power lies in checks and balances, and the dominance of the powerful ministers is not the blessing of the country. The commander of the Far East controls the military aircraft in one hand and the imperial power in the other, and his power is indeed too great. It is very necessary to prevent the slightest slightest. Lord Minghui's worries may not be unreasonable. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Fang Yun's mouth: "What the head of the guard said is very true. ”

"I have no personal grudge against the commander of the Far East, on the contrary, I have known him for many years, and I know that he is benevolent and loyal, and my late husband and him are even more fatal, so it stands to reason that I should not be suspicious and guard against him. Helpless," Li Qing sighed and said gloomily: "He sits in that position, and many things are up to him, and he can't talk about personal feelings." Fang Yun, when you go back, please say to Lord Minghui: this is an extraordinary moment, and his sincerity and loyalty can be seen by the family. For him, the family has high hopes!"

"Captain, don't worry. The Northwest Army is the most loyal guard of the family, and in order to protect the royal power of the family, our whole army does not hesitate to fight to the last soldier!"

Fang Yun was led to rest for less than four hours when someone woke him up: "Your Excellency Fang Yun? ”

Fang Yun raised his head dimly, and a soldier stood in front of his bed, holding an oil lamp in his hand. The light blurred the soldier's face, and only his voice was heard: "Your Excellency Fang Yun?"

Fang Yun rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed: "It's me." What time is it?"

"Eight o'clock in the evening. ”

There was no emotion in the voice of the soldier's tablet, Fang Yun glanced at him, and found that this was a young officer, with a faint hairy lip, and the light green combat uniform did not wear a rank mark, and his appearance was ordinary, the only special thing was that his eyes were burning and shining, and he felt like a pinprick when he looked at him, and his bearing was calm.

"Master. Fang Yun was surprised, and he said politely, "Please allow me to freshen up." Soon. ”

"Your Excellency, please feel free to do so. ”

Fang Yun simply sorted out his clothes and followed the people out, there were already people waiting at the door, and three soldiers who also did not wear military rank marks led their horses to guard the door. Seeing them, Fang Yun's heart sank: looking at their body shape and bearing, these people are rare masters. The masters who have killed people on the battlefield are very different from the ordinary good hands in the rivers and lakes, their eyes are particularly bright, very cold, and their movements are not fast, but they are very stable and neat, and the temperament that treats human life like a mustard cannot be disguised.

"In the Northwest Army, these people at least have a deputy flag book. But in the Far Eastern Army, they were nothing more than miscellaneous workers. Sighing that the masters in the Far Eastern Army are like clouds, Fang Yun also understood what the other party meant: he is a red-clothed bannerman, a special envoy of the Northwest Army, who came here all the way, not only did the Far Eastern Army not send officials of the same level as himself to greet him, but instead sent a few masters with a bloody smell into his room at night, and the smell of jǐng was already very strong.

"Interesting. The horse's hooves ticked on the road in the middle of the night, and he rode silently on the horse's back, Fang Yunfu thought: "Could it be that the conversation between me and Zi Chuanning this afternoon seems to have been reported to the Far East? But only Zi Chuanning, Li Qing, and himself were present at that time, and Li Qing was very wary of the Far Eastern Army-Could it be that the commander-in-chief betrayed himself? But even if that girl is naïve, she won't be so stupid, right?" After all, she is the niece of Zichuan Shenxing, can't she see that the Northwest Army is now the only force that can contain the Far East...... Could it be that she really believes in Zichuan Xiu with all her heart? It's incredible, if so, then she may be the most naïve chief of the Zichuan family in history......"

In the silence of the winter night, the stars are as high as dust. Under the starry sky, a few guards led Fang Yun all the way through the streets and alleys of Bartley City, through the alleys of those sleeping houses, the city seemed particularly quiet on a winter night, only the sound of whipped horses' hooves echoed.

In front of an inconspicuous alley, the guards stopped their horses, turned around and said politely to Fang Yun, "My lord, it's just ahead." You've walked a few steps, and it's not good to ride a horse in front of you. ”

"Huh?" Fang Yun was slightly surprised, the small alley in front of him was not conspicuous, so narrow that it was not even easy to enter on horseback. Zi Chuanning's temporary residence was arranged in the Governor's Mansion in Bartley, but he didn't expect Zi Chuanxiu's residence to be arranged in such a humble place.

Following the guards into a private house without any signs, Fang Yun saw Zi Chuanxiu at first sight. The commander of the prestigious Far East and Far East Military Regions, the emperor of the Demon Kingdom, and the commander of the rebel army were sitting in front of the oil lamp and talking with several officers. Hearing the sound of Fang Yun coming in, he turned his head, and the dim light reflected on the young man's silver-white hair.

Seeing him, Fang Yun took a step back in surprise: "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

"What, Fang Yun, is there any problem?" Zi Chuan Xiu smiled at him, seeing this smile, Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief gently: the shock of that silver-white hair was too great, melancholy, vicissitudes, and heavy.

It wasn't until he saw this familiar smile, a smile as warm as the sun after snow, that he confirmed that this silver-haired young man was indeed the Zichuan Xiu he knew.

He bowed and saluted, "See Lord Commander!"

"Excuse me. Fang Yun, wait a minute, I'll finish taking care of this matter. Zi Chuanxiu turned his head again, his expression had changed to Yan Sù, and said to a middle-aged officer in front of him: "The case in Sequoia Village, the inspection team has found out a lot. It was your people from the Third Town who did it. Several villagers have recognized the murderer's clothes, and the traces left at the scene can also be confirmed. ”

The middle-aged officer with a clear appearance had a very guilty expression: "The lower officer has received a notice from Chief Lin, and an investigation was conducted on the same day, confirming that those animals did it, and the lower officer immediately ordered them to be tied up and sent to the inspection team." Unexpectedly, for this small case, it also alarmed the adults, and the officials were terrified. ”

"More than 130 lives in a village have been washed in blood, and this is just a small case?" Zi Chuan Xiu smiled, that smile made Fang Yun next to him feel a burst of coldness: "Mero, your vision is really not small! Sue you, this case has even shocked His Royal Highness Ning, and it has already spread all over the city outside, if it weren't for Wa Xin and Wu Hua's strong bullet pressure, tens of thousands of villagers would have come to the door with corpses to find us, and it is not uncommon for the people to become a rebellion! What a rebel army, the common people have already scolded the streets, and they are worse than bandits!" The bandits want money and don't want their lives, and we are even more ruthless in fighting against the rebels, both money and life!"

Halfway through speaking, Mero couldn't sit still, and knelt down on one knee: "My lord, the subordinate officials are not effective in supervision, and the subordinates are not strict, this incident will insult the reputation and prestige of the adult's army, and it will bear the trust of the adult, please punish the lord heavily!"

"Punish you, that's for sure. But not now! The case is not closed yet, you have to deal with it!"

"Ah, sir. Mero raised his head in surprise: "We have all handed over the murderer to the inspector team......

Zi Chuanxiu just sneered: "All of them?"

Mero's face turned pale. He said in a trembling voice, "My lord, ......what do you mean?"

Zichuan Xiu asked bluntly: "Brother Ya, the team leader of the eleventh team of the third town, has he participated?"

Mero didn't dare answer, he knelt and didn't move.

Zi Chuanxiu sighed: "Mero, I know you. When you shield Goya, you don't necessarily have selfish intentions. After all, he is the son of Elder Gowen of the Goang clan, and you are worried that this matter will affect our relationship with the Goang clan, right? You concealed it and did not report it, you are also worried that I will be embarrassed, right?"

Mero showed a touched look on his face: "My lord Mingjian, Xia Guan does have zài concerns, after all, the Goang clan is a big clan of the kingdom, and it is also an important partner for us to rule the demon kingdom." Now General Roger is organizing a war against the barbarians on the side of the demons, if we kill Goya, it will only get rid of an officer who has violated discipline, but if the Goang clan has a different heart for us from now on, the consequences are really ......."

At this time, the guard entered the door lightly and said a word in Zi Chuanxiu's ear, and Zi Chuanxiu nodded lightly: "Got it." ”

He interrupted Mero: "Just now, in front of the victim's family, Goya has been executed. ”

"Ahh

"Mero, you've disappointed me. Zi Chuanxiu did not raise his voice, but in his flat tone, the majesty of the superior was revealed: "As the military mayor, you should think about the military mayor." No matter how prominent Goya may be, he is only an officer under your command, and if he is disobedient, you should whip him with a stick, and if he violates military law, then you should cut off his head—this is the duty of your military mayor! As for the situation in the kingdom, that is for me and General Roger to consider. I will naturally give you instructions if necessary, but until I do, you should do your duty. To be honest, I doubt that Goya can be unscrupulous to this point, and I am afraid it is inseparable from your indulgence. ”

Mero's head bowed deeply, and his face turned pale: "My lord, the lower officials are ignorant, and the guide is a big mistake." ”

"You go back first, reflect on it, and write me a check-up. ”

The commander of the third town of the Demon Kingdom bowed his head and left, and when he went out, Zi Chuanxiu stopped him: "Mero, I have to correct you a mistake: I have to cooperate with the Goang clan, but a monarch and minister! I am the emperor of the Demon Kingdom, and the Gowen and Goang are both subordinate subjects. Since you have violated military law, you will be killed if you kill them, you don't need to consider the reaction of the Goang clan! Remember, the demons obey us, not because we are good to them, but because we are stronger than them! Understand?"

Mero was shocked, revealing a thoughtful expression, and he bowed and left respectfully.

Looking at his back, Zichuan Xiu sighed lightly, but he understood in his heart that Mero's advantage was that he was meticulous and meticulous, but his disadvantage was that he lacked courage, and many things seemed too cautious. He didn't dare to send the killer to rectify the rebellious demon officers under his subordinates, for fear of causing chaos.

The management of the demon army has its own special xìng, and it must be cautious and cautious. When it should be hard, it must be as hard as iron, when it should be soft, it must be soft as water, and when it is time to kill, then it must kill without hesitation. When he returned from the Demon Kingdom, considering that the war against the rebels needed capable generals like Bran and Dekun, he transferred Bran and Dekun from the position of the mayor of the Demon Army back to the Orc Army, and handed over their troops to General Roger, who remained in the Demon Clan, while Mero stepped down as the commander of the Fourth Town and took over the Third Military Town of the Kingdom.

Now it seems that this appointment is not very appropriate. When Dekun was in charge in person, the third town of the new demon army was as well-behaved as a white rabbit, don't say that they went out to rob and kill, even if the silver was placed in front of them, they didn't dare to pick it. Unexpectedly, less than half a year after this unit was put into Mero's hands, the old problem recurred.

A person like Mero is a little weaker in the position of the chief of the army, and it is a good candidate to be the chief of staff. It's just that if he is replaced, there is no suitable person to be the commander of the third town now. Moreover, the war with the Office of Inspectors is imminent, and the change of generals does not bode well.

He retracted his thoughts and said to Fang Yun, who had been silently beside him, "Fang Yun, I've waited for you for a long time to let you see the joke." The demon cubs are not very obedient, and they have to be beaten at any time. ”

Fang Yun said respectfully: "Your Excellency is fair and selfless, and the handling is decisive, and the subordinate officials are also happy and convinced." It is really a blessing for the lower officials to listen to the teachings of adults, and I feel that I have benefited a lot!"

"Come on, Fang Yun, you slippery egg, don't come and pat my ass. Your master is Minghui, no matter how happy I am. ”

"My lord has really wronged the lower official, this is indeed the sincere heart of the lower official......"

"Report!"

The eyes of the two of them fell at the same time, and the guard stood by the door and said clearly: "Your Excellency, the governors and governors of the three provinces, including Bit, Dama, and Ankara, urgently ask for a meeting, saying that there are important matters related to logistics and supplies, and I hope to consult with you. ”

"They should deal with this matter with Chief Lin or Ming Yu. ”

"Lord Qiqi, Chief Lin has already arrived to meet them. But what she meant was that it would be better for you to be there, my lord. ”

Zi Chuanxiu groaned slightly: "Understood." ”

He got up and shook Fang Yun's hand: "I'm sorry, I have to ......"

Fang Yun was a well-behaved person, and immediately said, "My lord, if you are busy with affairs, you will deal with it first." Xiaguan is waiting for you to come back here, is it convenient?"

"Then I'll be out of company for a while. ”

Zi Chuanxiu said that it was "for a while", but Fang Yun waited for a long time. Because in Zi Chuanxiu's residence, he didn't dare to move around casually, so he could only sit on the chair and drink tea constantly. The guards helped him find a few local newspapers to pass the time, and when he saw the same headlines in the newspapers, such as "Support His Royal Highness Zichuan Ning's accession to the throne and become the chief minister!" and "Long live the family! Long live His Royal Highness Ning!" Fang Yun was tired of it, and flipped through a few articles, and the fatigue of the journey along the way began to attack, and he sat crooked in his chair and fell asleep.
