After the meeting in Jinzhou, Yu Zhong took the first step, rode a horse first, and then rode towards Yaksa on a sled, and Mo Jing had already taken a step ahead. However, before leaving, he did another surprising thing: he left the sword above to Nian Qianyao.

This aroused the dissatisfaction and opposition of those Manchurian generals. They had just offended Yue Zhongqi, but Yue Zhongqi was Nian Qianyao's subordinate, so wouldn't Yu Zhong's approach be tantamount to putting their lives in the hands of the "enemy"? It's just too dangerous!

However, Yu Zhong seemed to have made up his mind, and the opposition had no effect at all.

Not long after Yu Zhong left, some gossip spread, and after that, these Manchurian generals finally understood Yu Zhong's "good intentions": with the sword above, they naturally did not dare to mess around, so that too many people would not lose their lives in the hands of Nian Qianyao. Especially after these people learned about Nian Qianyao's military management methods from the personal soldiers brought by Nian Qianyao, they further determined that Yu Zhong was thinking about them. Although this view is not very firm, I believe that it will not take too long for them to really realize how much Yu Zhong "cares" about them.

Compared with these Manchurian generals, Nian Qianyao's mind is much more complicated. He also didn't understand why Yu Zhong would leave the sword above and give it to himself. However, Yu Zhong did not mean it out of any kindness, and he could be sure of it just from the meaningful gaze that looked at him when Yu Zhong left.

However, despite his doubts, Nian Qianyao gladly accepted the sword. The road to the north was not easy, the cold and snow were enough to make the soldiers complain, and the cracks that already existed in the army were troublesome. And with the sword above, it can save him a lot of effort.

Of course, Nian Qianyao didn't think that his troubles would only come from this army. From Jinzhou, he had to pass through Mukden, where there was Ferdinand, a colleague of Yu Zhong's gang; In Ningguta, there is another enemy of his Ma De, although Ma De has been transferred to the governor of Anhui, but, as far as he knows, this Ma De has absolute authority and influence in Ningguta, and even the new Ningguta Commander Sha Erhuda is a good friend of this Ma De.

How to deal with these people is his real big trouble!

********

Liaodong!

Dalian Bay area!

On the edge of the village that had already taken shape, Old Man Fei had a meeting with Mader, who had returned to Ningguta and then turned south.

……

"Shin Shin didn't follow you?" Seeing that Ma De was single, Old Man Fei asked first.

"yes, there's still a lot of work to be done over Ningguta. You can't let Ethan pick up the fruit for nothing, right? Kangxi said that my income there will not be any less! In that case, I'm welcome...... "Mader smiled.

"Whatever you want. However, you have to be in a good sense of proportion, and don't mess with Ethan...... Anyway, they were also sent by Kangxi to plant rice among us, and the kung fu on this side is still a little better! Old man Fei said.

"Don't worry, we know!" Mader replied.

"Hmmm! …… Think about how to govern Anhui? Old man Fei suddenly asked with a smile again.

"Well, what can be done? Anhui has just experienced an officialdom turmoil and a major drought, and I have no foundation, so it would be good to live my own life well when I get there. Mader said with a sigh.

"Hehe, it's best if you think so! …… Officialdom is no better than others, and the most taboo thing in this is unruly chaos. Shi Shilun played a big game in Anhui, but his behavior was tantamount to putting himself in opposition to all the 'normal' officials. Even those officials who have a right mind may not dare to have a deep friendship with him. In the future, he will definitely have a hard time. Unless the Qing court comes to another storm of punishing corruption, otherwise, it will be good for him to keep his current position. …… So, once you're there, don't rush to find him! Old man Fei said again.

"I know......," Ma De replied.

"There happens to be a merchant ship in Lushunkou, I heard that we are going to Dagukou, so you can stop by the way! ......" Old Man Fei said suddenly.

"Uh...... Fei Lao, are you going to drive me away? Nothing else? ”

"What words can you have? I'm not Zhuge Liang, I knew it for a thousand years, and I knew it for five hundred years, if I said the wrong thing, wouldn't that girl in Xinxin blame me for a lifetime? …… Besides, what am I leaving you here for? Can you help me fix the dock? Seven hours a day, can you survive? If you can make it, I'll change it to eight hours a day!" …… Let's hurry up and take office. Didn't Kangxi say that you have to arrive before June? You're in for a ...... ! Old man Fei glared at Ma De obliquely, without any intention of keeping guests.

Night!

Baoding Mansion!

Inside the courtyard of Prince Yinren. Heavily guarded!

"Slave Xu Zuyin, please say hello to the master!" In the study, a sturdy official with a wide face and small eyes kowtowed to Prince Yinren, who was sitting behind the desk.

"Get up! ......" Yinren looked a little strong, leaned back in the chair, and waved casually to a few cronies in front of him, motioning for them to sit on the chair on the side.

"Thank you, master......" Several officials bowed to Yinren and sat down.

……

"O Zuyin! It's good for you to come back. Hongu is having a hard time now...... You have always been resourceful, but you can have a good life to share the worries of this palace. Seeing that everyone was already seated, Yinren said to Xu Zuyin, who was kneeling down to him just now. Xu Zuyin was surrounded by three other people, named Ling Pu, Qi Liang and Lao Zhibian, all of whom were his protégés.

"Master, when the situation in the capital came, Lord Ling had already told the slaves......" Xu Zuyin had an authentic face of the Quartet country, thick eyebrows, but his eyes were a little small, and he seemed a little unenergetic.

"Hmmm! Now that you know all these things about Kyori, do you have any ideas? Yinren asked again.

"Please forgive the master, the slave feels that this is not the time to act. On the contrary, it is you, the master, the slave thinks you should ......" Xu Zuyin stopped talking, looked up at Yinren's face, but did not see the expected anger on the other party's face.

"What should I do? But it doesn't hurt to say ...... "Without the kind of domineering in the past, Yinren has more tolerance for his cronies than others."

"Master, the minion thinks that some of the things you did a few days ago are not very good, this is the reason why you have been repeatedly frustrated recently, instead of trying to find a way to deal with others, the minion thinks that it is better to find the reason in ourselves!" Xu Zuyin kowtowed again and said.

"Brother Duanjin, what kind of nonsense are you? Don't you ask your master for ...... blame," Ling Pu hurriedly said when he heard Xu Zuyin say this. As he spoke, he motioned to Xu Zuyin to quickly change his words.

"Lingpu, you don't have to worry!" Although Yinren's face was still so gloomy, it didn't get worse, he looked at Xu Zuyin and said, "Why don't you want to behave better before Huang Ama." But how can it be so easy? Not to mention that Huang Ama watched from the side all day long, and said that I didn't do well in this thing for a while, and said that I couldn't do it well, which made the palace extremely depressed. There's another boss there...... Hmph, the incident a few months ago must have been the ghost of him and his slut Eniang, which caused the palace to be scolded by Huang Ama again......"

"Master, are you talking about that incident of Jade Cuixuan?" Lao Zhibi asked.

"That's right! Hmph, the little palace maid of Yucuixuan knows to go to find Min Guifei of Yonghe Palace, Min Guifei and Mo Jing and Luo Xin will rush to Yucuixuan in person, the palace happened to be angry at that time, and she would get the news at the same time, and Huang Ama would rush to catch the palace again! …… Hmph, so many coincidences, the timing is so appropriate, if it wasn't someone behind the scenes, how could it be? …… Xing Nian, as the chief eunuch of Yanxi Palace, still needs to go to the imperial dining room to get any tonic soup in person? Concubine Hui has always been healthy, where can I make up for it? Hmph, I just want Concubine Liang's cheap eighth child to go with me...... Concubine Hui and the boss thought they were doing it very secretively, but Bengong didn't notice their tricks for a while, but it didn't mean that Bengong was stupid and stupid" Yinren stood up, slapped the desk violently, and said angrily.

"The master sees it. This matter must be that Concubine Hui and the eldest brother are making trouble...... But, master, the big brother didn't get any cheap on his side! The minions thought that we could not take this matter to heart for the time being, and it would not be too late to settle accounts with them when the time came! Lingpu said.

"The boss really didn't get any cheapness! However, there are two more groups of enemies in this palace! ......," Yinren said in a deep voice.

"Master, what are you talking about......" Xu Zuyin asked.

"Lao Ba and Concubine Liang, these two don't matter; However, the Imperial Concubine of Nadun Min is amazing! …… I'm afraid you don't know very well, at the end of the year, not only did Wendur Khan of Eastern Mongolia send a New Year's gift to this woman, but even Horqin also gave a congratulatory gift to this woman, as well as Musar and Zhong Xiaozhen of Western Mongolia. Yinren sighed again and said.
