"Are there many forces like this in the south?"

While walking along the street, Wang Cheng asked Liu Wenjing about the situation in Nanli County.

Liu Wenjing said: "In addition to the martial arts, there are three other families who also have a deep background. ”

"Which three?" Wang Cheng asked.

"The Qin family, the Li family, and the Cao family, these are all nobles from Kyoto." Liu Wenjing said.

Wang Cheng let out a long sigh, people's hearts are always not satisfied, they are already noble, but they value those possessions more seriously.

Everything gradually became clear, just as he thought before, the shortage of grain and grass in Nanli County was replaced by money, and it was definitely inseparable from these families.

The military departments of the Great Zhou were almost always controlled by these nobles, and they all had important positions in the court and in the army.

Some of these nobles were knighted for their immortal exploits when King Xuan ruled the world, and some were knighted for their great contributions in the defense of the Zhou War of the Five Kingdoms more than ten years ago.

For more than ten years, Zhou Zhaowu has always been very strict with the military, and did not hesitate to eliminate many positions in the army, one of the purposes of which was to reduce the influence of the nobles in the army.

Therefore, even if Wang Cheng made such a great contribution last time, he was only a viscount.

However, this is not an overnight achievement, and the power of the honorable can be said to be deeply rooted in the army, and even pervasive, so there is today's predicament in Nanli County.

Wang Cheng somewhat understands why Liu Xing is difficult to do in Nanli County, even he can't change the status quo.

Because on top of his head is the mountain of Xungui, how can he be shaken by a small Zhonglang?

Although Liu Wenjing is not very old, it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand anything, especially after what happened just now.

She looked up at Wang Cheng and said with a complicated expression: "Is the general afraid of the forces behind those families?" ”

Wang Cheng didn't say much, he didn't like to get involved with these things the most, he just wanted to simply lead troops to fight.

Several people continued down the street.

Perhaps because of the presence of living people, more and more people do not know from which horn pimple to get out.

Along the way, Wang Cheng also saw Li Xu and Xu Yu going door-to-door to count households and the property that was robbed by the Xia people.

When those residents heard that the lost property would be returned to them, they naturally felt grateful to Wang Cheng.

Seeing this, Wang Cheng hurriedly led Liu Wenjing and the three of them to stagger away, he didn't like that kind of occasion very much.

He stood in the corner, pointed to the two of them and said to Liu Wenjing: "If you want to gather a hundred women before sunset, I'm afraid it will also fall on them." ”

Liu Wenjing's mind moved, and he immediately understood what Wang Cheng meant, and hurriedly walked over with Xiaocui and Xiaobi.

Wang Cheng continued to walk down the street alone, and met more and more people.

Especially those big families, who didn't know where to hide last night, are now all out.

The people below were busy cleaning up the blood stains on the floor and walls, as well as the surrounding hygiene.

There was no pain in their faces, they seemed to be used to war.

Because people recognized the identity of the general before, Wang Cheng tightened the black robe and covered Ru Kai, but no one could recognize him anymore when he walked through some roads.

Turning left and right, he came to a mansion that was not under the Wufu Mansion.

There is also a black plaque above the gate of this mansion, which reads "Qin Mansion".

Wang Cheng looked up at the plaque and whispered to himself: "Qin Mansion? Wuchang Hou Qin's family? ”

The Qin family was famous throughout the Great Zhou, and the name was much bigger than that of the martial arts family of Marquis An Yuan.

Like the Wu family, the Qin family also originated when King Xuan ruled the world, and Qin Gang, the ancestor of the Qin family at that time, made great achievements and was named the Marquis of Wuchang.

Four or five hundred years have passed, and the talents of the old families like the martial arts family have withered, and there have never been characters like the ancestors of the martial arts.

The Qin family is very different!

Fifteen years ago, when the Five Kingdoms invaded Zhou, two Tianjiao appeared in the Qin family, the eldest Qin Yong and the second Qin Yi.

Qin Yong made great contributions in the defense of Kyoto, was named a former general, and now he is the head of the military department, and perfectly inherited the title of Marquis of Wuchang.

The second Qin Yi did not take the usual path, he did not serve the country in the army like his eldest brother Qin Yong, but took a civilian job. In the War of the Five Kingdoms, he fought against the foreign envoys of the Five Kingdoms, and tried to protect the face of the Great Zhou, and then he was awarded the title of Marquis of Wenyuan, and now Honglu Siqing, who is in charge of foreign affairs of various countries, is this person.

Although Wang Cheng didn't know much about officialdom, he still knew some of the Qin family's name.

"A double marquis, the Qin family has many talents!"

He couldn't help but sigh, but the next moment, his gaze moved to the gate of the Qin Mansion.

I saw a young man standing in front of the gate.

Twenty-four or five years old, wearing a brocade robe, his black hair was tied up by a jade ring, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like stars, and there was a smile between the corners of his mouth.

When Wang Cheng saw this person for the first time, his heart beat a little more.

What a handsome man!

Wang Cheng felt that his image was okay, but compared to this person, he suddenly felt that his image was very ordinary.

It does not simply refer to physiognomy, but more of a gap in temperament, an innate temperament.

If he is mostly a soldier's steely image, then this person is more of a gentle and gentle reader.

Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.

Such descriptions only appear in books or film and television dramas, but now they are really standing in front of him.

The young man walked lightly, walked down the steps, and saluted Wang Cheng: "I've seen General Wang!" ”

Wang Cheng was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Your Excellency recognizes Wang?" ”

He is already deliberately hiding his identity, how does this person see it?

"The general may not know, your name has spread in Kyoto in the past few days, and everyone in the court knows that I have a young general in Da Zhou. Within ten days, he made great contributions, chased the black eagle at night, beheaded the captain before the battle, attacked the city of Jizhou, and picked General Lu with a gun, all of which were about to be compiled into a book. The youth said.

"It's too much!"

Wang Cheng hugged his fists, his face was a little hot, he never thought that he had done such a big thing these days.

The young man shook his head with a smile and said, "It's the general who is too humble, and the merits you have made are beyond the reach of countless soldiers in a lifetime." Now you have recovered Nanli and destroyed the personal guards of the six princes of the Xia Kingdom, which is another great achievement. In private, there are already people talking about it, and the speed of our king's reward is not as fast as the speed of your meritorious service. ”

"Don't dare!"

Wang Cheng felt that this was a bit of a killing, and asked instead: "I haven't asked for the name of the honorable person yet." ”

"No, Qin Feiyu, Marquis Wen Yuan is the father!" Youth Road.

Wang Cheng hugged his fists and said, "It turned out to be the son of Da Honglu!" ”

I thought that I was still thinking about the Qin family just now, but I didn't expect to meet Qin Yi's son in a blink of an eye, and there seemed to be some kind of fate in the dark.

Then, it was not surprising that Qin Feiyu could recognize his identity.

Because whether it is Qin Feiyu's father or his uncle, they both hold important positions in the court. Especially his uncle, who is a squire in the military department, how can things in the army be hidden from this person?

Thinking that Qin Feiyu could recognize his identity at once, it had a lot to do with Qin Yong.

However, what puzzled him was why such a noble son with status ran to a border place like Nanli County? Aren't you afraid of losing your head?

As if seeing Wang Cheng's thoughts, Qin Feiyu said: "Feiyu is not an idle person, he likes to travel, he happened to pass by Nanli these days, so he lived for a few days, and he didn't want to encounter such a tragic thing as yesterday." ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words and said: "Fortunately, General Wang took action, otherwise I don't know how many living beings in the entire Nanli would have been slaughtered." ”

"It's a matter of duty." Wang Cheng said.

"There are too few people in this world who can have such a mind as General Wang, and heroes like the general should rise to the top." Qin Feiyu said.

After Wang Cheng heard this, he thought to himself that the other party had something to say!

Sure enough, he then heard Qin Feiyu say: "The general has made such a great achievement, and the king will reward him heavily." Before coming to Nanli, my father had mentioned it to Zaixia, and the princes above the court were already discussing merit, and they thought that the edict would be sent to the general in the near future. ”

Wang Cheng had heard similar words for the second time, but he still had great expectations in his heart.

The last time he was promoted to a higher rank, he was awarded a "viscount", and this time I don't know what kind of reward it is.

At this moment, Qin Feiyu disrupted his thoughts and said, "Since the general is passing by the cold house, it is better to go in with Feiyu to drink a cup of tea." Although Fei Yu is only a weak scholar, he also likes to make friends with heroes such as generals. ”

"Qin Gongzi's good intentions Wang has understood, Wang still has official business, and he will bother him another day." Wang Cheng rejected his kindness.

Qin Feiyu couldn't help but regret it: "Okay! However, if the general has a place to find Fei Yu, even if he speaks, Fei Yu will definitely help. ”

"Thank you very much!"

Wang Cheng hugged his fists and said, "Wang still has official business, so I will leave!" ”

Qin Feiyu also arched his hand to him, and watched him leave the alley before turning around and entering the mansion.

Later, Wang Cheng went to the remaining Li Mansion and Cao Mansion respectively.

Like the Wu Mansion and the Qin Mansion, the people of these two families were basically there, and when he arrived, the mansions of the two families had been basically cleaned.

However, he did not take the initiative to show up again, and left after two glances.

When I returned to the General's Mansion, it was close to noon, and I was meeting Captain Zhang Han coming back to resume his life.

"General, all the heads of the Golden Sword Guard have been cut off, and they have now been built into a Jingguan two miles outside the city."

Wang Cheng nodded and said, "It's hard work!" ”

"General, there is one more thing, General Liu's captain Chengyi is not dead, he is back, and he has brought a thousand brothers, counting the group of people in the morning, almost two thousand, how can we settle them?" Zhang Handao.

"Oh?"

Wang Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this, he was worried that there was no one available under his hands, but he didn't expect this to come.

"Let's go! Take me to see it! ”
