Chapter 208: Everything Begins Hard

As soon as Xiao Qingluan's words fell, she saw a man flash behind the screen of her bedroom, and in the darkness, Xiao Qingyan and Xia Qingqing couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but listening to Xiao Qingluan's title, the two concluded that the person in front of them right now was Feng Yi.

"Under the next, Feng Yi asked His Royal Highness King Wu to say goodbye. ”

Feng Yi clenched his fists with both hands and shook Xiao Qingyan deeply, his words respectful and his attitude was kind.

The name Feng Yi always felt very familiar to him Xiao Qingyan, and he scratched his head and thought about it for a long time, and finally had a clue.

"You...... You are Feng Jingzhi's only son, Feng Yi?"

"Yes. ”

Xiao Qingyan never imagined that Feng Jingzhi, who was sentenced to death for corruption and power, would still have a backhand, and this backhand was Feng Yi, who had not held an official position in the court but had a pivotal position. Xiao Qingyan didn't expect that Feng Yi, who had been missing for a long time, would suddenly appear in Xiao Qingluan's mansion, and it seemed that he had a good friendship with Xiao Qingluan.

"Sister, I really didn't expect that there was such a pivotal figure hidden in your mansion!"

It turned out that after Feng Jingzhi lost power, his only son deliberately put aside all the relationships between Feng Jingzhi and him, and on the surface, he lost his trace and disappeared, but in fact, he found a big backer Xiao Qingluan with noble blood and the same purpose as him.

And although Xiao Qingluan is ostensibly promiscuous and chaotic in the princess's mansion day and night, he is actually providing a steady stream of loyal people who are preparing to overthrow Ye Ningxiang and Xiao Chengyong. Although the number of people who follow them is limited at the moment, as long as they diligently expand their power, one day they will gain the power to compete with Ye Ningxiang.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, although we have a cooperative relationship with no way out, but after all, we are alone, and it is not possible to make this Da Rui's world change hands overnight, and I hope that His Royal Highness can calm down and wait a lot, and the grass people promise that Ye Ningxiang will die within three years. ”

"Okay, three years is three years, but this matter of winning people's hearts still depends on Feng Gongzi to bother a lot outside. ”

"Feng will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations. ”

Wei Xun, who had just received 500,000 military power from Da Rui, was now in the army base camp in the southwest of Da Rui, going deep into the army that was already managed by him, and learning the way of governing the army that he was not very familiar with.

Although the military power of this southwest military camp is now controlled by him Wei Xun, Wei Xun came to the military camp with Captain Zhou Yin. Zhou Yin personally accompanied Wei Xun on the grounds that the southwest base camp was far away and Wei Xun was not familiar with it, which clearly showed that the head of the military attache was concerned about Wei Xun, the great concubine, but secretly he held on to the military power that once belonged to him and did not let go.

Fortunately, Wei Xun is a calm-minded person, and he knows how to dodge the open guns and arrows shot by Zhou Yin along the way, and how to deal with the problems encountered along the way without being humble or arrogant.

Finally, after more than half a month of marching, Wei Xun came to the southwest military camp that he had never been to before.

In the past, Wei Xun was responsible for the jurisdiction of the Praetorian Guard in the capital, but he was only dealing with the defense work around the capital, and he only managed 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, which was nothing compared to the 500,000 troops that could not be counted at all.

However, this Wei Xun was not afraid in his heart, not sorrowful, but nostalgic. It has been about fifteen years, and Wei Xun at that time was still called Lin Feng, and he went to the battlefield soon after learning the skills.

The desert, the long river, the sunset, the poignancy and magnificence of the northwest desert mixed with the bloody breath that permeated the air for a long time could not be dispersed, so that this young man with outstanding martial arts and few opponents could not help but give birth to a belief in sacrificing his life for the world.

It's really been a long time since I've really been in the barracks where I defended my family and the country and went into battle to kill the enemy, so long that I almost forgot the soul of the warrior who was proud of the horse leather shroud and ashamed of surviving.

However, the years of time are changing too fast, and these soldiers in front of them are no longer the soldiers of the year, and the mentality of the soldiers in front of them is also very different from the soldiers of the past.

Although Wei Xun's age is not too young, the scholarly temperament revealed by Song Tianweng's new face for him is indelible, so that those commanders at all levels who welcomed Wei Xun's inspection of the barracks showed uncontrollable disdain the moment they saw Wei Xun.

In the end, it is a military attaché, not as thoughtful as a civilian official, and he tries his best to stumble on you in secret. Thinking of this, Wei Xun showed a smile that made people's hearts warm.

Seeing that their new master was also an amiable master, the hostility of the generals at all levels was much lighter, although they couldn't talk to Wei Xun and be unscrupulous, but fortunately, they could also talk to Wei Xun, the new leader, calmly.

"As far as this official knows, in addition to being in charge of the defense of the capital as an auxiliary force before, Rong Guogong has not been responsible for managing 500,000 sergeants. However, Rong Guogong, please rest assured, this official will accompany Rong Guogong here for some more time, and help Rong Guogong explore this way of governing the army. ”

In this way, it would be good to follow Wei Xun in private, and it would also show Zhou Yin's overflowing concern. However, right now, Zhou Yin's words were said to all the generals of some grades in the southwest camp on top of the banquet for Rong Guogong, but the taste completely changed.

Originally, these generals only knew that Wei Xun was the concubine of Princess Qingluan, and he was the Rongguo Duke of Da Rui, with a high status. But now they are a first-class duke who knows Wei Xun without any experience in governing hundreds of thousands of troops, and only by eating soft rice can he get this position.

In this way, even if Zhou Yin handed over the military power of the southwest military camp, the generals of the southwest military camp would probably still obey Zhou Yin's orders, and for Wei Xun, who came to this position by relying on the background, they may never really surrender.

Wei Xun naturally knew Zhou Yin's intentions, and naturally thought of a countermeasure early on. While drinking wine, he looked at Zhou Yin with a smile, his words were warm and his tone was polite.

"Yes, I didn't have the experience of managing an army of 500,000 in the past, so I have to bother Lord Taiwei to give me a lot of advice on this way of governing the army. ”

As he spoke, Wei Xun had already filled the wine, then handed the wine glass to Zhou Yin, and then drank the wine in his own cup.

Zhou Yin didn't expect Wei Xun, a weak person, to have such strong endurance, not only did he not show his sorrow because of his words, but he could also toast him happily. He secretly sighed in his heart, in the past, he underestimated this inconspicuous and weak scholar Wei Xun.

Next, Wei Xun's words surprised Zhou Yin even more, even to the point of doubting his own ears.

"I heard that the southwest military camp is full of talents, and there are countless people who have some attainments in martial arts. In addition to the cooperation between soldiers and soldiers, the strength of the individual is also extremely important. It is better for us to hold a martial arts competition in the army tomorrow, firstly, to enhance the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and secondly, to select the most outstanding warriors for our Darui. ”

This proposal was unprecedented in the army before, fresh and exciting, and it simply gave a shot in the arm to the southwestern sergeants who had not fought for a long time.

Before Zhou Yin, who had already cooled down here, agreed, all the generals in the seat had already clapped their hands and applauded.

The military camp competition was planned by Wei Xun in his heart for a long time. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and if you want these generals who he is not familiar with and who are not familiar with him at all to completely surrender to him in a short period of time, martial arts competition can be a simple and crude method.

Wei Xun is not a person who likes to make great achievements and show himself, so although his martial arts are excellent, almost to the extent that he rarely meets opponents, he rarely shows his martial arts in front of others. Because of this, too many civil and military generals, including Zhou Yin, mistook Wei Xun for a scholar who was weak in literature and only relied on the background to become a scholar.

Now, he Wei Xun wants to use this competition to show these 500,000 soldiers his outstanding martial arts, so that his soldiers know that he is stronger than them.

And Zhou Yin, who is a military attaché, has a slower brain after all, and he is still thinking about how to set up a trick for Wei Xun tomorrow and make him ugly among the soldiers.

On the second day, the southwest military camp was sunny and beautiful, but in addition to the martial arts competition, the Japanese military camp also ushered in a visitor who no one expected, Ye Ningxiang.

After all these years of power changes, if you want to say that Ye Ningxiang trusts the most at the moment, it is only Wei Xun. There was no transition to directly hand over the 500,000 military power to Wei Xun, Ye Ningxiang also felt a little hasty afterwards, so not long after Wei Xun left Beijing, Ye Ningxiang also followed with Jian Cong.

Although the wind and dust were served, as soon as she heard that this groundbreaking martial arts competition would be held in the military camp for a while, Ye Ningxiang was reluctant to go back to the camp tent to rest, so she came directly to the martial arts arena and waited to watch this martial arts competition.

Originally, it was a competition between soldiers, but Ye Ningxiang's participation was different, although these soldiers who volunteered to participate in the competition did not say anything, they were also extremely nervous in their hearts, and the legs of the soldiers who walked into the ring at the beginning were shaking.

The attention of the soldiers who were idle and watching the battle was not only on the competition, a large number of people were secretly paying attention to Wei Xun and Ye Ningxiang, who always reused Wei Xun, intentionally or unintentionally.

Wei Xun didn't shy away from suspicion at all, he personally cut the melon and fruit, and naturally handed it to Ye Ningxiang, Ye Ningxiang ate this melon and fruit, and he Wei Xun didn't eat the melon and fruit in this fruit bowl without seeing it. Seeing that the relationship between Wei Xun and Ye Ningxiang was so deep, the soldiers gritted their teeth, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

What these soldiers didn't expect was that Wei Xun's heart was smiling at this moment, because these soldiers who resented him at this time would soon surrender to him.

In the blink of an eye, the competition went on for most of the day, and when the sun was setting and the competition was about to end, Zhou Yin, who was in charge of adding fuel to the fire, finally opened his mouth.

"Rong Guogong has been responsible for the defense of the capital for many years, and he thinks that this martial art should be higher than ordinary people. Why don't you come to this school to compete with our Darui warriors, so that our soldiers can also open their eyes. ”

Zhou Yin originally thought that Wei Xun would do everything possible to shirk and refuse to compete with this soldier who won the competition, but he didn't expect Wei Xun to reply generously: "Okay, this is what Xun intended." ”

As he spoke, Wei Xun had already jumped from his seat to the arena, and his warm eyes instantly became extremely hard, and there was a kind of arrogant spirit surging in his body.

Zhou Yin looked at Wei Xun in surprise, his face was full of disbelief, he subconsciously wiped the sweat droplets from his forehead, and swallowed his saliva fiercely, both shocked by Wei Xun's outstanding martial arts, and secretly prayed that Wei Xun would not win this battle.
