Shen Yinglong praised Jiang Yuebai as the best wine in the world today, which made Jiang Chen very useful when he heard it.

He wanted to tell the Shen family that the person who made this fine wine was himself, but he still swallowed it back when the words came to his lips.

"That's it, what to do with him, it's not about playing the piano to the cow."

Jiang Chen can brew such a fine wine with his own hands, and the realm of wine tasting is even higher, Shen Yinglong's boastful talk just now is nothing more than an axe in the class.

In Jiang Chen's eyes, Shen Yinglong. is simply a layman who can't enter the door and is vassal and elegant, isn't it a waste of time to talk about wine with such low-level people?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he was separated from the old beggar in Jinyang City.

There is nothing wrong with drinking a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant, Jiang Chen felt that he had a lot of fun chatting with that old man, and felt that there was not enough time, but sitting opposite Shen Yinglong at this time, he only felt bored.

Finally skipped the topic of wine, and Shen Yinglong praised in front of Jiang Chen how this Wangchuan city was strong and unbreakable.

Jiang Chen finally couldn't help it and asked, "It's so powerful, can you stop the Northern Yan army?" ”

The atmosphere froze almost all at once, and Shen Yinglong's subsequent laughter broke the stiff situation, but both of them realized to each other that it was time to get down to business after drinking this wine.

Shen Yinglong was the first to speak: "Brother Jiang, Beiyan is powerful, and they have suffered a new defeat, they are bound to make a comeback and march in a big way, I don't know what you plan to do next?" ”

"If they are stationed on the plain northwest of Wangchuan, they will definitely not be able to stop the Northern Yan cavalry, and they only need one charge to kill the remnants of the soldiers in Qishan."

Speaking of this, Shen Yinglong paused at the right time and observed Jiang Chen's reaction carefully.

Who knew that Jiang Chen nodded heavily in disapproval, and said approvingly: "That's right, I'm also worried about this matter." ”

"Although we know that there is no danger to defend such a garrison, and once the enemy army comes, it will be embattled on all sides, but unfortunately there is no other way but to do so, maybe Shen Gongzi can help us solve our urgent needs."

Shen Yinglong chuckled: "Brother Jiang, you designed in Qiwu Mountain to lure out Xiao Tong, the general of Northern Yan, and beheaded him on the spot, which is a brilliant achievement for you to leave a name for the ages." ”

"However, in this way, there is no possibility of peace talks between Daqian and Beiyan, and the enemy army is in Liaocheng, and there is a great tendency for the whale to swallow the northern border, is this kind of situation really good for the Daqian court?"

Jiang Chen was silent.

"To tell you the truth, I am full of doubts about whether the imperial court is capable of resisting the attack of the Northern Yan, even if everyone in the Qishan battalion is willing to fight to the death, it is only the strength of an army after all, and when the arm blocks the car, there is no good end."

Shen Yinglong said bitterly, his attitude was already very obvious, he hoped that Daqian and Beiyan would complete the peace talks, so that the northern border could at least be spared the scourge of war in a short time.

In his words, he also frankly revealed his dissatisfaction with Jiang Chen's booby trapping Xiao Tong this time, which harmed the interests of the entire northern territory, or the interests of their Shen family.

Patiently waiting for Shen Yinglong to finish speaking, Jiang Chen spoke unhurriedly: "Shen Gongzi is afraid that he has misunderstood, I am not from Qishan, what they want to do and when they do it are not something I can control." ”

"I just have some personal grudges with Xiao Tong, and some things have developed to that point, and they are all involuntarily."

Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly, and suddenly asked Shen Yinglong: "The matter has come to this, Shen Gongzi should not be a person who is entangled in the past, is there any other way out now than to work together to resist the enemy?" ”

"So, I also want to ask you Shen family this time, Wangchuan City is the last barrier in the north, and letting the army outside the city enter the city is beneficial to each other, why do you refuse?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Yinglong laughed, "Brother Jiang has misunderstood, how can my Shen family have the ability to prevent the army from entering the city, this can wronged us." ”

Shen Yinglong flatly denied such a thing, and he also said on the spot that the Shen family was just a local family, and now there were only a few people in the family serving in the imperial court, and the biggest official position was only the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Let's ask them, where did the Shen family get such great energy, they can be the masters of the house in Wangchuan and refuse the army of the Great Cadres to enter the city?

Don't look at what this kid said is high-sounding, it seems to be reasonable, but in fact, he is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, taking the opportunity to block Jiang Chen's mouth.

Tricks between masters are often so interesting, don't look at the two drinking and sitting opposite each other, talking and laughing, the relationship is so good that it is like a best friend who has been friends for many years, but in fact, he is witty and secretly competes.

Jiang Chen didn't pierce Shen Yinglong, but asked: "I'm lonely and unheard of, they all say that the Shen family is the head of the Northern Gate Valve, where can other people be allowed to call the shots in Wangchuan City?" ”

"Of course, the Governor of the State."

Shen Yinglong said that although the situation in the north is a little special, the entire land of Jizhou is still up to the governor to decide, and whether the army should be allowed to enter the city or not, naturally he has to consult the top local official.

"Lord Jiang, I don't think it's better to do this, let me introduce you to you, and arrange for you to go to see Lord Zhou Mu in the evening, as long as he can nod and agree to this matter, the Qishan army can enter Wangchuan City at any time."

"Then there will be labor." Jiang Chen was polite on the surface, but he still had doubts about Shen Yinglong's attitude of taking the initiative to cooperate.

The northern border belongs to the land of Jizhou on the territory of Daqian, and of course there is also a state pastor enshrined by the imperial court, who is in charge of the affairs of a state.

It's just that the strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, and the officials who were appointed to serve as the state pastor in Jizhou have to be people with their tails between their legs, and the most important thing for them as officials in the north is not to think about how to benefit the local people's livelihood, but to try their best to deal with the relationship with many gate valve families.

What can the head of a state do, and what about the officials of the frontier?

Although Jiang Chen did not become an official in the imperial court, he saw the things behind this quite thoroughly, and now Shen Yinglong pushed the troublesome matter four or five or six and threw it directly to the state pastor, so did the state minister really dare to speak up?

Without their nod from the Shen family, the state pastor would never dare to make his own decisions.

Therefore, Jiang Chen expected that when he met Jizhou Mu in the evening, this matter would be resolved in the end, and it would be a waste of time at all, but he still had to accept Shen Yinglong's kindness, and it would be even more difficult to talk about refuting the face of others.

Jiang Chen's ultimate goal is to let Wangchuan City open its doors to welcome the Qishan army into the city, so that there will be more than 50,000 people stationed in Wangchuan City, and when the Northern Yan army is killed, it will be able to resist the city and defend it, and it will never let the enemy easily attack.

In this way, Shen Yinglong set the time and place, and asked Jiang Chen to go directly to meet Jizhou Mu at that time, which can be described as careful and thoughtful.
