When Ye San arrived at the mansion with Qi Moyan, Qin Sheng was commanding the garrison sergeants to clean up the battlefield, this warrior who had also killed on the battlefield and licked blood on the tip of a knife was definitely not comparable to Cheng Shouyi, who had been a civil official all his life, and it would definitely not be as selfish as Cheng Shouyi.

On the way here, Ye Sangen also told Qi Mo Yan about Cheng Shouyi's incredibly timid words and deeds just now, no matter how you say it, it is also a literati arrogant, so greedy for life and afraid of death, cowardly and afraid of things, it really teaches people to despise.

Qi Moyan didn't hide much, and said a rough idea. According to the official system of this dynasty, a small city with less than 1,000 households should have one five-grade city pastor, one six-grade overseer and one seven-grade governor.

It's just because of Qi Moyan, the city lord who eats three grades, that the small town of Phoenix, which has less than 500 households and should actually be called a town, has been forcibly raised by a grade and enjoys a special county-level system, so it has to add a four-rank civil official and a five-grade military attache to manage it.

It's just that the officials of the fourth or fifth grades are also considered to be big members, and it is impossible for the imperial court to send the humerus of the central government who holds great power to this kind of place, not to mention the overkill, even if it is said to be flat, it will be called derogatory by outsiders, and the water in the officialdom can be deep.

Therefore, even if it is an assistant and a neutralizer, it is impossible for the imperial court to use important ministers in the court, so it can only promote Cheng Shouyi and Qin Sheng, two inferior officials who are afraid that they will not have the opportunity to be promoted in this life.

The two of them were only the official positions of the seventh and eighth grades at the earliest, Cheng Shouyi was only the seventh rank county commander of Phoenix Mountain City, and Qin Sheng was just the commander of the eighth rank, just saying something ugly

"One person has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven" is not an exaggeration at all, it is definitely an unprecedented step to ascend to the sky.

Qi Moyan understands the reason why Cheng Shouyi is so cowardly, you let a Confucian student who is buried in loess to his neck encounter this kind of scene, it is fake not to panic, and he can immediately return to his hometown to retire in peace and teasing his grandson, and live a leisurely and comfortable life, you let such a helpless old poor general be proud?

That's really lacking great virtue. In a peaceful and prosperous world, there is no shortage of flies and dogs, just like a raging tide, and there are people who are willing to save the sky.

At this time, looking at Cheng Shouyi, who was like a sieve of chaff at the entrance of the government and couldn't stand steadily, Qi Moyan stepped forward to comfort him quite understandingly.

Ye San walked up to Qin Sheng, who had a few stains of blood on his body, and heard from Qi Mo Yan that this military general had served in the Northern Regions for three years, and he had 15 heads under his account.

Not to mention whether it is true or false to be able to save so many heads in an inaccessible place like the Northern Regions, but being able to serve for three years in that barren place where birds don't poop makes Ye San admire him a lot.

Due to the large number of feudal states, tribes and nomads in the four directions, the Great Zhou Dynasty had four major governors and guards in order to facilitate the management: Pingxi - west of Longyou Road, including the whole territory of the Western Regions and some vassal states, Zhendong - Zhiyan Mountain, mountains and rivers to the east of the sea, Annan - Guanling Lingnan 100,000 mountains to the south of the South China Sea, Gongbei - thousands of miles of brilliant barren land north of Lida Meng.

Most of the quadripartite jurisdictions are due to ideological disagreement or conflicts over the size of the jurisdictional area, and it is nothing more than sending troops to suppress them, which can turn major matters into small ones.

Only the environment is the most boiling. There are many sandy areas in the whole area of Pingxi Governor's Mansion, there are miasma in the mountains of the South Governor's Guard's Mansion, and the mountains of the Governor's Mansion in the east are high and densely forested, these three places can still be solved by manpower, only the Gongbei Governor's Mansion, and the deserted and uninhabited in the territory is the most common.

The most uncomfortable thing is that there are nearly ten months of cold and freezing here in a year, especially in winter, and the whole day is full of wind and snow.

Because of this harsh environment, the Gongbei Governor's Mansion has only a few thousand troops from its establishment to the present. There is a joke in the Great Zhou army: Whoever is disobedient in the army will be a good doll in Gongbei for two days.

Qin Sheng saw the third watch of the night coming, and hurriedly stopped the work in his hand, and was stopped by the third watch of the night to salute.

"I have no military merits and no official position, so I can't be rude." As he spoke, Ye San helped Qin Sheng carry a soldier who died in battle to the open space in the house, these sacrificed soldiers need to be buried on the spot, and then hand over the personal military card to the imperial court for statistics and sorting, and then notify the family according to their place of origin to issue a bereavement pension, and if there is a military merit, they will be rewarded according to the military system.

Qin Sheng took off the military card and muttered,

"Wu Likui, Xiangxi Yinshan, born in the twelfth year of Wu Jian, and four years of Wensheng. I'll be discharged from the army soon. "The great compassion in the army is parting, and I am even more afraid of the separation of life and death.

With all kinds of sighs, Qin Sheng picked up his military card to clean up his thoughts, obviously accustomed to seeing life and death, he also knew that this was not the time for sadness.

"The third prince was a soldier?" Qin Sheng suddenly asked. Walking out side by side with Qin Sheng, Ye San didn't understand why this general, who had been promoted to the third rank from the eighth rank in a row, asked such a question, and replied truthfully: "No." Qin Sheng said again: "The third prince has just arranged so carefully, but it is more appropriate than those of us who have been in the military for several years, which is really admirable." "Most of the soldiers are cool, especially this soldier who is really not very good at beating around the bush, he has one thing to say, and he never hides it.

Only then did the third night understand why Qin Sheng had just asked, and he didn't hide it, and said, "I used to go to Tiance Mansion often, and I was exposed to it. Thinking of the identity of the third watch of the night, Qin Sheng was clear and said: "I was a soldier in Tiance Mansion for a while, and later I was transferred here to be a brigade commander, the blessing of the city lord, and now I am wearing this skin, I can't even think about it." "I understand that Qin Sheng is even more aware of himself, and he can't help laughing at himself.

Ye San didn't say anything more, also because he didn't know how to talk. After pondering for a while, he asked, "I heard Qi Moyan say that you have served in the Northern Governor's Mansion for a few years?" ”

"I can't do anything to make a living, and I have a lot of monthly money to control the north." Qin Sheng is really sincere. Ye San smiled and asked, "It is said that the Gobi Desert, which is a hundred miles north from the Dameng Grassland, even if you enter and leave the army, you have to register it?" ”

"That's nature." Caught in the memories of the year, this man with a tiger's back still showed some longing, and he didn't know how that kind of place still made him feel a little nostalgic.

The five-grade commander said: "That's natural, it's more difficult to go deep into it than the sand sea in the Western Regions, the imperial court has its own regulations, we are under the jurisdiction of the Gongbei Governor's Guard, ten people, one fire, thirty people, one team, every day needs to patrol and guard along the line on time and point, and the days are very hard." After thinking about it a little more, the usually straightforward military general asked, "Why did the third prince ask this?" Ye San smiled casually,

"Just ask, just curious." Either it was said that the thoughts were still a little shorter, Qin Sheng responded, and continued to be busy with the things in his hands, collecting the deceased's military card, and registering carefully.

…………

"I don't know where the general's wife found this group of people? It's very bad. In a dilapidated house in the east of Phoenix City, Bilan Po looked at those men who were afraid that it would be difficult to move, and her eyes were undisguised with disdain.

Naturally, Clotted Fat Jade is also dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and he also looks down on the manpower recruited by his own nominal husband.

From the time they were gathered together to the current situation of four or five days, in addition to eating and drinking, they were shouting and drinking and talking some explicit meat words all day, and they were really useful, and they were completely like cannon fodder, and they were very useless.

On weekdays, they boast about how powerful they are, how good they are, and when it comes to getting down to business, one is better than the other, seventeen or eighteen people came back ten, and they were all injured.

No matter how unhappy he was in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, after all, no matter how bad this group of wine bags and rice bags were, they were found from their own side, and others couldn't say it, and only fools could do this kind of thing by slapping their own face.

At the moment, Ning Fat Jade just smiled and said: "I found some friends who admired my face to come over to help out, and I could care about other things." Immediately after the conversation, Ning Zhiyu looked at Bilan Po and continued: "When I left the Great Zhou, the rivers and lakes had the name of Bilan Po, and my predecessors have been famous for more than ten years, but there are many more people I know, so it's better to bother my predecessors to find some powerful characters, doesn't it also save you and me?" There was a hint of flattery on his face, but he was sarcastic and stingy in his words.

Bilan Po is also a veteran who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, how can she not understand the inner meaning? It's just that at the moment, it is said that the two parties cooperate to take what they need, but how can he, an old Jianghu, not understand the truth of leaving one hand in everything?

In the end, there are still a lot of places where the other party can be used, Bilan Po sneered and said: "The old body has also been operating outside the customs, and the ruthless people in the Central Plains are not familiar with each other, so naturally they have more than enough strength but not enough strength, and I hope that the general's wife will not be surprised." The condensed jade pursed her lips without a trace, turned her head to look at the injured men, and said, "How can you blame your predecessors, and you don't dare to give me the courage to do it." I just hope that next time the seniors will be more attentive to the night three, don't forget the group of brothers behind you like just now, and only increase the popularity of others, but it is really a joke. The sarcasm in the words was obvious, and in the end, he just glanced at the two mothers over there, which was meaningful.

Bilan Po can only hate this sarcasm in her heart, slander in her stomach, and curse in her heart

"Cheap", but with a smile on his face: "This time I really blame my negligence, I really didn't expect that kid from the third watch of the night to enter the Nine Transformations." Next time, you don't have to explain to the general's wife, the old man should prepare as early as possible and do his best. Ning Fat Jade didn't say anything more, but pursed her lips without a trace under the veil, obviously looking down on the woman from outside the pass.

At this moment, the thin man who was running the horse came into the courtyard, first glanced at the two people on Bilan Po's side, and then bowed down to report the situation to Ning Zhiyu, but it was not the official dialect of the Great Zhou, nor the local dialect.

Bilan Po, who hadn't thought of paying attention to the conversation between the master and servant, turned her head sideways, but this action made Ning Fat Jade notice, and immediately interrupted the thin man and said, "Don't shy away from it, Bilan's predecessor is not an outsider." The thin man said: "The government has a large number of guards, I estimate that Ye Sangen only mobilized a very small number of people to go to Xingluo Villa, and the commander surnamed Qin rescued in time, and six people were killed and injured on our side." ”

"Can I be targeted?"

"We do things from the source, and Mrs. can rest assured." The thin man spoke with pride, and it was clear that the organization she called the source made him feel a great sense of pride.

"I saw that the momentum was not right, so I asked someone to withdraw, I went around the city for a long time before I came to see you, and I will not be followed." Ning Yu said again: "Can there be any movement in the third night?" ”

"I led the city lord surnamed Qi to the government office and counted the corpses with the military attache in the city." Ning Fat Jade thought for a while, and then asked, "Can I reply to the news from my master?" The thin man nodded,

"According to Hayato Town's information, it seems that the master of the gate has sent the main stream of the Happy Horse Division who stayed in my Fuying."

"Who?!" The face of the condensed jade is incredible,

"Who did you say you sent?" Seeing the big red man beside the door master show such an expression, the pride in the thin man's eyes was even more proud, and that look made Bilan Po on the side interested in the person in his mouth.

The thin man of the Horse Race Division, a branch of the source of the Fuying Intelligence Organization, founded by the one-eyed old man, said proudly: "I am the main stream of the Horse Race Division, Hanyu Walnut!" "There are three roosters crowing in the hour, and the sky will be bright.
