"Oh?"

Jingnanhou stretched out his hand and pointed to Zuo Jiqian,

Road:

"That's interesting, Zheng Shoubei said that there was no fish that slipped through the net, but you Zuo Jiqian said that there was a female assassin mastermind who didn't catch it.

Which of you two is right? ”

Zheng Shoubei, Zuo Jiqian;

A cold sweat immediately appeared on Zuo Jiqian's face, in fact, he is not stupid, how can he be a fool who can be pushed to the official face by the family to obtain the support of family resources?

The swingers in the gate valve are all confined to the family to have children and be responsible for reproduction, and only the truly talented can be qualified to be taken care of by the family's resources and contribute to the continuation of the family's glory.

But what he may lack is this kind of alertness, and Zheng Fan, who has been pulling tiger skins, is quite experienced, because many times, for Zheng Fan, a wrong foot is a life.

This is a game with only one life, and there is no right to be careless.

Not long after the assassination of the Lingtang happened, the Marquis of Jingnan led the army into the city and went straight to the General Soldier's Mansion.

Therefore, Zheng Fan made his own choice.

Obviously, at this time, Zuo Jiqian finally understood the problem;

He immediately bowed his head and pleaded guilty:

"Back to the Hou Ye's words, all the assassins were killed, and no fish slipped through the net, before, the last general remembered it wrongly."

"Heh, as a fortress garrison, my memory is so bad, alas, among the court and the countryside, they all think that my Northern Army of Dayan is a tiger, and the Southern Army is a sick cat, Ben Hou didn't think so, now look at my generals in the south, alas, ......"

"The last will be convicted, and the last will be willing to be punished!"

Zuo Jiqian put his head on the ground.

At this time, Zheng Fan spoke:

"Back to Hou Ye, when chasing and killing the assassin before, Zuo Shoubei was injured in the brain."

Zuo Jiqian immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the last general has a problem with his brain, a problem." ”

"If you have an injury, go back and heal it, and don't talk nonsense, you know?"

"The last will obey, and the last will understand."

Jing Nanhou stretched out his hand to dust off his boots, and said slowly:

"On the front line of Nanwangcheng, the days of drunkenness and gold have been too long, and many people have slacked off, in our Dayan, there are too many people who naively think that the people of Qianguo will never dare to take the initiative to attack;

A hundred years ago, the first generation of Zhenbei Hou really hurt the Qianguo people, but no matter how deep the pain is, a hundred years have passed. No matter how deep the wound is, it will have healed long ago. ”

Zheng Fan's heart was awe-inspiring for a while,

And sure enough,

The whole thing was basically the same as what I discussed with the blind man at home.

The Yan court reorganized the fortress system, which was in preparation for the future war against the Qianguo in the south.

The contemporary Emperor Yan and this generation of Zhenbei Marquis are already over fifty people, and they are eager to complete some major things and solve some problems completely while they are still alive.

So

That side is still mobilizing the forces of the gate valves from all over the country to gather to create a situation of confrontation with the Zhenbei Army, and this side is already starting to reorganize the front line of Nanwangcheng to pave the way for the southern expedition after the gate valve problem is cleared!

The Sixth Prince is gifted and intelligent, so he can keenly perceive this.

so

As Emperor Yan's brother-in-law, the Marquis of Jingnan, who is deeply trusted by Emperor Yan and also controls the Jingnan Army,

What he did,

It must also be implementing the will of Emperor Yan!

It's just that Zheng Fan and the blind man didn't expect that the high-level way of acting in Yan Guo was so ruthless, simple, rude and direct, which made people feel that they had no sense of artistry as a politician at all.

Playing politics is a good game of politics, but you just use the knife......

Of course, if you have the qualifications and ability to use knives, there is really no need to play any tricks.

Regarding the assassination that took place before, Jingnanhou has almost made it clear.

But this kind of explicit indication is not taking you as your own person, first of all, you have to see if you have this life!

It was precisely because he figured out this relationship in hindsight that Zuo Jiqian took Zheng Fan's words without hesitation, claiming that he had a brain disease.

"A hundred years of Chengping, some people, have forgotten their roots."

When Jing Nanhou said this, he smiled slightly,

Continued:

"Ben Hou received news that there were thieves who infiltrated Huaiya Academy, and Ben Hou was planning to lead troops to the academy to get people, but unfortunately, such a thing happened in Nanwang City, so he had to bring troops over to stabilize the order in the city first, and for a while, he couldn't get out.

Right now, I don't know if the two generals, who can lead troops to replace Ben Hou and arrest those thieves? ”

This is to be voted for!

Originally, Zuo Jiqian was about to open his mouth to agree without hesitation, his performance was indeed too bad compared to Zheng Fan before, but when he heard the name of Huaiya Academy, Zuo Jiqian was stunned.

Huaiya Academy, there are thieves?

Dayan's literary style is the most prosperous in Yinlang County, because it is the closest to Qianguo, and there are often scholars and literati from Qianguo who come here to study, and occasionally Confucians from Qianguo enter the academy to give lectures.

It can be said that Huaiya Academy is the holy place in the hearts of Dayan scholars.

The most important thing is that when governing the country, you must rely on the literati.

I don't know how many civil officials came out of Huaiya Academy, and when Chao Zaifu was young, he studied at Huaiya Academy.

Go to Huaiya Academy to get someone......

Zuo Jiqian immediately thought that if he really led the troops, it would simply be through himself that he would put the entire Zuo family on the opposite side of the Dayan literati class.

There is no free lunch in this world, and when you are supported by the family's resources, you will naturally take on the responsibility of safeguarding the interests of the family.

It's just that Zuo Jiqian is hesitating, but Zheng Fan is not the slightest hesitant.

"The last will go!"

Jing Nanhou began to rub his wrench again, and when he heard Zheng Fan's plea, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth,

Road:

"Has Zheng Shoubei ever thought it through?"

"Soldiers, it is their duty to obey orders!"

Hearing this, Jing Nanhou's eyes widened slightly.

If the six princes were here at this time, they would definitely shout: Straight lady thief, you have a golden sentence again!

Jing Nanhou said slowly:

"Zheng Shoubei doesn't think about his subordinates?"

"If you go back to the Hou Ye, the last general's command is full of barbarians."

"Barbarians?" Jing Nanhou became interested, "How much?" ”

"Five hundred!"

"Interesting and interesting, use brute soldiers to go to the academy to get people, Zheng Shoubei, aren't you afraid that the people below will criticize you for insulting Sven?"

Zheng Fan arched his hand and said:

"Scholars like to be reasonable the most, but the reason why barbarians are barbarians is because they are unreasonable, and it is a match made in heaven to use barbarian soldiers to deal with readers."

"It's a match made in heaven, and tomorrow, the people from the Secret Spy Division will go to Castle Willow to contact you, they are responsible for taking people, and you are responsible for cooperating with them."

"Xie Hou Ye cultivates!"

Zuo Jiqian looked at Zheng Fan beside him, with a look of envy in his eyes, and being appreciated by the Marquis of Jingnan was definitely the most coveted by all southern generals.

But when he thought of Huaiya Academy, Zuo Jiqian's eyes couldn't help but jump again, he was not alone, he was not alone.

Of course, if you don't accept this military order, Zuo Jiqian will never dare to say that he will send someone to report to the academy after he goes back, this is the real fool's behavior.

Even he had to worry that Zheng Fan's side would leak the news first and cause some changes on the academy's side, and when the time came, Jingnan Hou would blame him, and the first thing he suspected was that he Zuo Jiqian was jealous of Zheng Shou and making things bad behind his back.

Zheng Fan and Zuo Jiqian retreated together, and at the gate of the General Military Mansion, Zheng Fan and Zuo Jiqian said goodbye.

Both of them came to Nanwang City from their respective fortresses in civilian clothes, and when they were about to leave, their moods were completely different.

"Brother Zheng, do you know the status of Huaiya Academy in the hearts of the Great Yan literati?"

"Brother Zuo, we are soldiers."

This is the second time Zheng Fan said this to Zuo Jiqian after meeting.

The first time he said that when Zuo Jiqian inquired about whether the imperial court was moving south, he told Zuo Jiqian that soldiers should not talk nonsense like scholars.

This time, the implication is that we are soldiers;

In any dynasty, civil and military confrontation is the norm, either the west wind overpowers the east wind or the east overpowers the west wind, as a soldier, if you don't go to be a literati, then what are you going to do? Do you want to be a dog for a literati?

Just like the Qianguo, military generals are often guarddogs with chains in the hands of civilian officials.

Dayan is not a Qianguo, the signs of this generation of Yanhuang and Zhenbei Hou are already obvious, as long as the troops are mobilized, as long as there is a war, the role and status of the military will be rapidly improved!

If you become a literati, the literati will certainly hate you, but you can gain the favor of the military, which is a good deal.

Of course, the most important thing is that Yan Guo is not a Qianguo, even if the Zaifu of Yan Guo came out of that Huaiya Academy, he didn't dare to say the same as the current Shoufu of Qianguo: "Only what is sung in Donghuamen is the real good Erlang".

Zheng Fan took the reins from a sergeant of the Jingnan Army and rode away directly.

Zuo Jiqian was left standing in place, a little distracted.

And in the quiet mourning hall of the General Soldier's Mansion,

Jing Nanhou was still sitting on the threshold.

"Master Hou, it's cold here."

A woman walked out from behind Jing Nanhou and covered Jing Nanhou with a piece of fur on her body, this woman was wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes at her feet.

Hou Ye reached out and gently patted the back of the woman's hand, and said:

"Thank you for your hard work today."

"Doing things for the Hou Ye is a blessing for the concubine in this life."

"What do you think of those two people just now?"

"The one of the Zuo family is a capable master, but as you said, Master Hou, now our Dayan family is like rotten wood, even if it is painted with more paint, it is difficult to change its inner rotten nature, twilight, it is indeed heavier."

"Where's the Northland kid?"

"Xu is the Marquis of Zhenbei has been the king of the northern land for a long time, and the people in his mansion also do things with a kind of decisiveness."

Jing Nanhou shook his head and said:

"This Zheng Shoubei, check it out."

"What do you mean, Master Hou?"

"Li Liangting wants to stuff his men to the south, Ben Hou can't ask for it, it's best to transfer two of his seven generals to me.

At this time, Li Liangting himself was in the capital, and he Li Liangting wanted to arrange someone to say hello to Ben Hou directly, but Ben Hou didn't receive any news.

This kid said that he was a lackey under the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, but he didn't take the path of the Hou Mansion, to find out who brought him here. ”

"The slave obeys."

"If he is really Li Liangting's person, that's it, if he is not ............"

"What are you going to do?"

"Let's see how well this kid can handle the affairs of Huaiya Academy, the rotten Confucians in Huaiya Academy, eat my Dayan's offerings, accept my Dayan's land, and accept my Dayan's students, but they have been preaching the culture of benevolence and righteousness in Qianguo.

These people eat things inside and out, Ben Hou has endured them for a long time. ”

"Scholars and literati, aren't they all like this, when it comes to qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, they all take Qianguo as the most ......"

"Then Ben Hou has to take a look, after my Dayan Iron Cavalry breaks the backbone of the Qianguo again, see who else will boast of the unparalleled literary style of the Qianguo!

Wait, it's coming, it's really coming.

Benhou wants the world to know,

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, benevolence, righteousness and morality,

In front of Jin Ge Iron Horse, half a penny! ”

Speaking of which,

Jing Nanhou raised his head and looked around,

Frowning slightly,

Dissatisfied:

"That Chu Tianqi also said that he was a talent in the secret spy department, Ben Hou saw that it was just like this, Ben Hou has been sitting for so long, why haven't you heard the crying in this city?"

…………

Not far from Zheng Fan's horseback out of the General Soldier's Mansion, he saw Ah Ming, and after going to the inn together to call Fan Li, the three of them immediately rushed to Cuiliu Fort.

Zheng Fan and Ah Ming have one horse per person, and Fan Li is inconvenient to ride because he has to carry two boxes of silver ingots that have not been sent, but even if he is carrying things and galloping, he is not much slower than Zheng Fan and Ah Ming's horses.

Siniang once ridiculed Fan Li, after eating so much food, all the strength has long legs.

Before the sun set, Zheng Fan rushed back to Cuiliu Castle.

To Zheng Fan's surprise, outside Cuiliu Castle, Zheng Fan saw the blind man Bei and more than a dozen craftsmen dressed as people measuring something, and those craftsmen were still holding drawings in their hands and were listening to the blind man's suggestions to make modifications.

Seeing Zheng Fan come back, the blind man Bei first accused these craftsmen of being unaccompanied, and then immediately came to Zheng Fan.

"Lord, the gift, didn't you give it out?"

Although the blind man couldn't see with his eyes, he could sense that the silver was still in the two boxes that Fan Li was carrying with a sweep of his mental power.

Zheng Fan didn't rush to tell the blind man about Nanwangcheng, but asked first:

"Who are these?"

"Back to the Lord, these are craftsmen who have been summoned by a firm."

The craftsman of Yan Guo at this time, in the words of later generations, is the contractor.

"You found it? No, it was recruited by the Six Princes? ”

"Lord Mingjian, the firm of the Six Princes has not only organized the craftsmen, but even the materials and other materials for the reconstruction of Cuiliu Fort have been purchased from nearby and are being transported here.

My subordinates are just discussing the details of the drawings with the craftsmen, and if nothing else, we will be able to start construction tomorrow. ”

Build a fortress, especially a big fortress like Cuiliu Fort, the price is not ordinarily large, you can build a city and collect taxes or sell shops or something to return to the capital, but to build a purely military fortress, there is no possibility of returning the capital at all, purely to hand over the silver to the state.

However, the sixth prince did fulfill his promise, there is nothing more needed than a fortress is now Zheng Fan, can't everyone come from the north to the south, but live in tents every day like in the north, right?

"Lord, I smell the smell of rice."

Fan Li, who had been running for a day with two boxes of silver, was hungry.

Zheng Fan smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand to put his hand on the blind man's shoulder, and said:

"Okay, let's talk while we eat."

…………

The blind man put down the dishes and chopsticks, nodded and said:

"Your Lord, you are right to take the initiative to take this military order."

can get the affirmation of the old silver coin, and the stone in Zheng Fan's heart can be regarded as landing.

"From this point of view, what happened today in Nanwang City should have been planned by Jing Nanhou behind his back?" Siniang said while giving Zheng Fan chicken soup.

The blind man nodded and said: "Eight or nine is not far from ten, it is nothing more than to find an excuse to purge these bureaucrats and big clans who have lived too comfortably in Nanwangcheng all the year round. ”

"It's really not exquisite." Siniang teased, "I said that in terms of technique, there is a lack of beauty. ”

"But the effect is the best, Qianguo is afraid of Yan like a tiger, but it is one thing not to dare to go to war, and it is impossible for Qianguo to really do nothing for other things.

Xiao Dahai and the prefect of Nanwang City, as well as some of the patriarchs of the big clans near Nanwang City, their deaths may not be unjust. Xu Xu Tuzhi's method may not be suitable for solving these people, once they are aware of it, it is impossible to say that this Yinlang County will be turbulent because of this. ”

Meal

Zheng Fan originally planned to go with Siniang to study how to weave this soft armor, but he was re-invited by the blind man.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Fan asked.

The blind man didn't speak, but just stretched out his hand and pointed to his chest.

Zheng Fan understood, put the stone where the magic pill was located at the mouth of the tent, and then walked outside with the blind man for a while.

"Lord, listen to Ah Ming, today's magic pill savior?"

"Hmm."

"And almost a backlash?"

"Maybe, it's just that he wants to joke with me."

"Lord, it was his subordinates who suggested that the Lord take the magic pill with him, because several of us were not with the Lord at that time, so we made this choice in order to protect the Lord's safety.

Now, please find something for the magic pill and seal it. According to the subordinates, it is most suitable to put it in the coffin together with the Shatuoque stone. ”

"Does it need to be so serious?"

"Lord, you know more about the magic pill than all of us, it is you, the resentful soul condensed by the ninth abandoned baby who designed the magic pill, and the one that the magic pill hates the most is actually his parents;

He was born with a visceral aversion to things that represented his parents. ”

"But he saved me today."

"That's because he hasn't fully woken up, he's still restraining himself, before, when the Lord didn't wake up, he sealed himself, probably because he didn't have a substance, so he could be lazy, he didn't need to breathe, he didn't need to consume, he just fell asleep.

But when the Lord has woken up, he is still continuing to seal himself, according to the Lord, that is, when he faced the Shatuoque Stone for the first time in the desert, he had signs of complete awakening but was forcibly suppressed by the Shatuoque Stone.

The subordinates felt that if the demon pill continued to stay by the Lord's side, it might be ............ if he was stimulated even more or if he suddenly couldn't control the instinct in his body to kill his father."

"He's probably going to kill me?"

"Exactly, in fact, my subordinates have always been curious, we all have an instinctive fear of the magic pill, but as you who know the most about the magic pill, why do you ...... it Always very intimate? ”

Zheng Fan sat down on the ground, stretched out his hand and patted his side, and the blind man sat down with him.

Then, Zheng Fan reached out and touched his pocket, took out a cigarette case, and gave a cigarette to himself and the blind man.

Then with the fire fold,

lit a cigarette,

Zheng Fan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke ring,

Road:

"It's the same feeling as if you had a big dog in the neighborhood."

"Huh?"

"Even if your neighbors, other children, are terrified of this big dog, you yourself are confident that you will not be on a leash or a beak and let it run freely.

moreover

Tian shamelessly said: 'My dog never bites. ’”
