The military commander with the highest rank in Dahua is a general who is ranked in the first rank, and at this time, not long after Rui Rumin was killed, this position was vacant. And below the general are the four generals from the first grade, namely the general of the forest, Bu Sheyi, the general of Chunan, Ou Luhai, the general of Shengjun, and the general Zhao Qianming, who is stationed in the north. The Sifang generals ruled the outposts and garrison barracks where the garrisons were located, the Anxian outposts where Xu Ding'an was located and Guo Zimu's Jinzhou garrison barracks were all directly under the jurisdiction of the General Mansions stationed in the north, and Zhao Qianming was the direct officials of Xu and Guo.

Although the night was not deep, the General's Mansion in the north at this moment was surprisingly quiet, and no one dared to make a little extra sound. The masters and servants of the house all know that Zhao Qianming's mood is extremely bad. It's not good, to the point of killing people in a rage, which he has never had in his six years in office. Everyone was afraid of touching his moldy head, and accidentally became the target of his anger.

"Waste! It's all fucking waste! More than 200 people can't fight back, Zhao Zhiming, I gave you 100,000 taels of silver, so I invited some such goods!" Zhao Qianming was really mad, if the person in front of him was not his own brother, he would have been cut down by him a long time ago. Looking at Zhao Zhiming, who looked frightened, he knew that it would be useless to scold again, and he was anxious in his heart: "What should I do? King Jaw will arrive in Jinzhou tomorrow at the latest, even if he goes to Suzhou, it will only take three more days." With his wisdom, I'm afraid that he won't be able to fool him this time. Alas! Alas! I was so delusioned that I actually believed Azig's nonsense! Now don't say that the king of the northwest can't do it, and it's hard to say whether he can keep his head. Alas, I'm... It's really lard that blinds his heart, and he shouldn't lend him anything about crashing cars and siege towers!"

Zhao Zhiming desperately lowered his head, fearing that his elder brother would see the flaw: "I, alas! I have actually caused trouble again! This time I can't hurt my eldest brother? Sure enough, how much money was spent to do a lot of things, and I knew that this group of people would not be able to do anything, so I said that I couldn't cut off the 50,000 taels of silver! If the eldest brother fell, how could the Zhao family be left alone? How could I, a big family, survive? I really shouldn't have lost this living money at such a critical time!"

Collaborating with the enemy is an unforgivable capital crime, and once you sit down, there is absolutely no possibility of life, and Zhao Qianming knows this very well, so he is so nervous and afraid. He walked back and forth in the hall with his hands in his hands, kept sighing, and stopped when he walked to Zhao Zhiming's side, gritted his teeth and said: "I'll send you another job to do it, if it doesn't get it done, don't blame me for being an elder brother who doesn't show favors!"

When he said this, his face was extremely serious, and Zhao Zhiming knew that he was not joking, and he couldn't help but feel a little trembling in his heart. After a few mouths, he finally said, "Big brother, what are you asking me to do? I will do it for you even if I try my best!" At this time, both of them had no way out.

"After a while, I immediately went to the people of the Nine Palaces, and said that we would give 200,000 taels and ask them to help. I don't need to make a lot of moves, I only need eight people, eight masters of the Nine Palaces!" Zhao Qianming lowered his voice and said viciously. 200,000 taels of silver for eight people, and it is 25,000 taels for one person, which is really a price that cannot be higher. You know, the more than 200 people they invited last time spent 50,000 taels, deducting the brokers' commissions, and those killers only got 200 taels each. In contrast, there is a world of difference. "Hmph, what's the use of having a lot of people? More than 200 people have been killed! It's better to invite a few top people to come, this time, why do you want to leave him in Anxian!" Seeing Zhao Zhiming's stammering appearance, Zhao Qianming said categorically.

"My good man! How can my eldest brother be willing to spend 200,000 taels to hire a few killers? He's never been generous with his shots! What's the matter now? Could it really be that he's in a desperate situation?" Zhao Zhiming responded honestly in his mouth, but secretly thought in his heart.

Zhao Qianming immediately took a pen and paper and wrote a voucher for the payment of the money, handed it to Zhao Zhiming with his private seal, stared at him with straight eyes, and entrusted: "Second brother, you need to do this with great care! If it is successful, you and I can live, and if we fail, we will both die and have no place to be buried!" Zhao Zhiming was so frightened by his words that he swallowed a big mouthful of saliva in a hurry, and he was speechless, so he had to nod heavily. He has never held a half-official position in the imperial court, and he has relied on being a housekeeper in the eldest brother's mansion all these years to earn this big share of the current industry. Although greedy, he is not stupid, and naturally knows the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, and there are no eggs under the nest. So, after taking the receipt of the money, he hurriedly got on the sedan chair and went to find someone to build the line of the nine halls at night.

The dinner was over, and Haitang and Xiaoxue rushed to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Bai Ze is about to give birth, Yun Po is old, these things were all undertaken by Xiaoxue alone, and after Haitang returned home, he rushed to do these things. When Bailisi saw it in his eyes, he was relieved and sad.

"Begonia, come here, let's sit down and talk for a while. Seeing that Begonia was coming over, Bailisi beckoned to her and said softly.

"Yes, ma'am. Although she is nominally the adopted daughter of Meifu, Haitang has already called it smooth, and it is really difficult to change it for a while, so she has been calling like this. Yun Po, Xiao Xue, and Bai Ze in the hall knew that what they were talking about was definitely about their in-laws, so they avoided it one after another. Begonia walked to Bailisi's side, took a brocade stool and sat down, and buried his head low.

"Silly Nizi, are you still afraid of me?" Bailisi teaped her, patting her hand lightly. Seeing that she finally raised her head, she smiled and said, "Haitang, you have always been close to Chen'er, and he will not hide it from you if you think about it." We originally thought that when Chen'er took a break from school in November, we would return to Jinzhou from the capital and handle the marriage of the two of you. ”

Haitang pursed her lips, grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Childe, he did tell me." ”

"Hehe, I know he won't hide it from you. Bailisi smiled, seeing that her face was bitter, he slowly took her hand and asked softly: "You already know about Chen'er and the county lord of Chengyi, right?"

"Hmm. Haitang replied, seeing the sad face on Bailisi's face, he hurriedly said: "Madam, you don't have to be embarrassed about my business." I'm satisfied to be a girl in the house, where can I have more extravagant hopes!" Haitang could see that Mrs. really pitied herself and loved herself, and she really didn't want the lord and Mrs. to worry about this matter. At this time, Mei Siyuan and Mei Yuanchen were still in Suzhou, although the good news of Shatuo's withdrawal had come, and both of them were "safe and sound", but the frequent attacks before still made them feel uneasy.

"Begonia, what nonsense are you talking about!" Bai Lisi clenched her hand and scolded lightly: "You are the daughter-in-law of Meifu early on, and I will give you a name if you say anything!"

When Haitang heard her say this, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and two tears came out of her eyes, and she sobbed: "I know that Madame, you are good to me, but Yiyi is the county lord, and there is no way to do it." I... How can I compete with her for a place? ”

"The prince will be here tomorrow afternoon at the latest, and I will talk to him then. The prince is a generous person, and he will definitely be able to understand our suffering, and he will agree to allow Chen'er to marry you and Chengyi at the same time. Belis looked at the begonia and nodded slightly, like an encouragement and a promise.

The sky is not beautiful, the night is dark and there are no stars, and there is no way, Mei Yuanchen had to vote for this small inn called "Immortal Residence". After paying the money and filling his stomach, he closed the door and entered the room, and put the bag away. When everything was finished, Mei Yuanchen sat cross-legged on the ground, not practicing, but reciting the mantra of the past.

"The edict of the Supreme Lord, the lonely soul of Chaoyou. Ghosts and ghosts, four lives are gracious. Those with heads are super, and those without heads are promoted. Kill with a knife, dive with a rope. Death in the open and in secret, unjust death. The creditor is wronged, and he begs for his life. Kneeling in front of the stage, the gossip shines. Standing on the hurdle and coming out, he was born in another place. For men and women, they bear their own responsibility. The rich and the poor are recruited by you. Rescue and others, and rush to overlive. Rescue the others, rush to overkill..."

... ...

In the past few days, he has recited the mantra of death hundreds of times, not only for Zhan Xu, Zhi Chun, Zhi Shen, and Zhi Ze, but also for those Dahua generals and Shatuo generals who died in battle. Thinking of the young Shatuo soldier, remembering the fear in his eyes, before he knew it, his incantation was recited faster and faster, more and more urgently...

Unconsciously, there was a rooster crow, and the fish belly rose white in the east.
