Chapter 21: Undercurrents
It should have taken a long time for grandpa to get out of the muddy waters of Luoyang, and he would rather stop walking horses on Luoyang Street over the years, but no one has ever targeted him, this is all grandpa's efforts behind the scenes.
Luoyang is a big whirlpool, and being in it but deviating from it, I have to say that Ning Zhi's grandfather is really strong.
But it is precisely because of this that Ning Fu doesn't even have a few decent hole cards. If you really want to say that there is, I think it is all used to save the life of the Ning family at a critical moment.
In this case, it is necessary to create a strong intelligence organization. But Ning Zhi has no experience in this area, after all, this is not the same thing as military training.
Ning Zhi glanced at Commander Ning, thinking that this person should not have this talent.
"Uncle Ning, in a few days I will go buy some slaves, and then this group of slaves will be reorganized and trained a private army. Ning Zhi looked at Commander Ning solemnly and said, "I plan to give this task to you, Uncle Ning." ”
"Retrain a private soldier, aren't the private soldiers in Ning Mansion strong enough?"
"In the future, I may face a force that is only slightly weaker than the Red Flame Army, but the number of troops is guaranteed to be in the thousands. ”
Commander Ning nodded, and didn't ask Ning Zhi why he wanted to fight against such a force, if it was against it, it would be a fight. Merely......
"But with training, it is impossible to reach the water level of the Red Flame Army, and it is not possible to be slightly weaker than him. Commander Ning said in a deep voice.
A truly powerful army is always fought on the battlefield. The power that erupts from countless lives and deaths can transform an ordinary person into a strong man.
Courage in the face of life and death, tacit understanding with comrades in danger and self-confidence, these are by no means training can be trained, only on the battlefield.
Therefore, the private soldiers of the family have always been disdainful of battlefield generals like Liu Yu.
"I will find someone to throw this unit into the battlefield, and then put it with special training methods, regardless of the cost, and within three years, I will see this army take shape. Within ten years, I want it to stand alone in the big man!" Ning Zhi said in a deep voice.
"My subordinates will do their best!"
If it were someone else, he would probably laugh at Ning Zhi for not knowing what to say, or at least for being young and frivolous. But Commander Ning won't, since Ning Zhi said so, he will do his best to complete it.
This is a kind of loyalty that is not adulterated with any impurities, and it can be regarded as a kind of die-hard loyalty. Rather be a little curious about his father, whom he had never met. What kind of personality charm does he have, so that after his death, there will be people like Ning Commander who are loyal to the Ning family.
Although Commander Ning put himself in the position of a subordinate, how could the other party be a member of his father's generation, Ning Zhi could not really treat him as a subordinate.
So Ning Zhi hurriedly helped Commander Ning up, "Then hand it over to Uncle Ning." ”
The matter of forming the army can be handed over to Commander Ning, who once followed his father to fight on the battlefield, and then has his own method of training. It wouldn't be too bad to think about.
But what about intelligence? Rather than knowing the importance of intelligence, without intelligence, many things are smeared, and the gap between foresight and hindsight is too great.
Thinking like this, Ning Zhi saw Liu Yu leaving with her maid. After thinking about it, Ning Zhi walked to the gazebo, which was empty at the moment. Ning Zhi looked around and found that Li Ruoshui was by the pond not far away.
When I got closer, I found that Li Ruoshui was staring at a lotus flower and was motionless.
Is this a cherry blossom viewing? or is it in a daze?
"It will be my mother's sacrifice day in the near future, and I want to go to the Taoist temple to put incense on my mother. Li Ruoshui suddenly looked at Ning Zhi and said. There was something inexplicable in his tone.
Ning Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find someone to arrange." ”
After thinking about it, he added, "Do you want me to come with you?"
Li Ruoshui turned his head and continued to look at the lotus, and said in a light tone, "If you want to go, go and ask me what I am doing." ”
Ning Zhi was stunned by this inexplicable tone.
What the hell did Liu Yu and Li Ruoshui talk about? Why did they look like this after they finished talking?
Liu Yu, who had just walked out of the gate of the Ning family at this moment, also asked, "What is the matter between the Ning family and the Li family? When I left Luoyang, I was fine, why did I become like this as soon as I came back?" ”
At that time, Liu Yu swore as a royal princess that as long as Li Ruoshui was willing, she would take her out of Ningfu.
But Li Ruoshui just changed the topic after not knowing whether he was silent or thinking. This made Liu Yu very uncomfortable. If she really likes Ning Zhi, she will bless and warn Ning Zhi to be better to Li Ruoshui. If she is wronged, then take her out, the vast frontier has a place for Li Ruoshui to live.
But Li Ruoshui didn't say anything.
"It's not clear whether Miss Li really likes her, but she should have volunteered to stay in the Ning family. Xiaoqing said. Compared with the nerves, Xiao Qing, who has been paying attention to various details, has observed a lot.
"No, I know Sister Ruoshui, she is a woman with a high heart. Husband and child education is definitely not the life she wants. Liu Yu shook his head, but when he said this, his tone was not firm.
Is love really so magical?
The master and servant are single-minded, and of course Xiaoqing also thinks of it with her master. The two looked at each other for a while, love is such a thing, it's hard to say......
Liu Yu quickly shook his head and asked, "If you don't talk about love, what should it be?"
"If you don't talk about love, there should be a lot of things happening around Miss Li. Or maybe there are some unknown hardships. ”
Xiao Qing thought for a while and said, "Perhaps, these are to be asked to the Pawn Master." ”
One of the Nine Qings of the Han Dynasty, a pawn, Li Zongting. Li Ruoshui's father.
Liu Yu nodded, not knowing what to think.
The southern urban area of Luoyang City, here is the most prosperous area of Luoyang, there is a downtown carnival all night, there is an all-night Qinhuai River, there is a restaurant with a lot of money, and there are many shady transactions hidden in the sun.
On this night, a man staggered down the road with a red face, muttering something as he walked over and over again. It looks like it's obvious that he's drunk too much.
Although the man is dressed richly, who is not rich or expensive to play here? Passers-by are all far away with disgust on their faces.
Not far away, a man dressed as a servant saw this drunk man and hurriedly ran over, "Young master, you have drunk too much again, I'll help you back to the restaurant inn." ”
"I can still drink!" the man said muttered, raising the bottle in his hand.
The people around have distanced themselves, drunken men, women hurt by love, and children with backgrounds, these are the most unprovoked. The man dressed as a servant looked apologetic and smiled embarrassedly at the people around him.
The two stumbled all the way to the restaurant, and the people inside seemed to be very familiar with the two, and they joked, "Yo Xiaoyi, your young master went to drink flower wine again." ”
"I drank and I didn't touch the flowers. Hahaha. ”
"Your young master said last time that he would invite me to join me another day, but you can't forget it. ”
In response to everyone, only the man named Xiao Yi smiled embarrassedly. At this time, the drunk man who was being supported raised the wine bottle and shouted, "Drink!"
The restaurant burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was happy.
The man who was called Xiao Yi just laughed and helped his young master into the room.
Such a scene is very common in the southern city of Luoyang, young people who want to come to Luoyang to find opportunities abound, and there are also scholars who want to go to the Qinhuai River to find love with a woman in a flower boat.
They are called young masters, and their manners are vulgar and tight, and these so-called young masters' servants also have the embarrassment and nervousness on their faces in the face of others, such as people in small places.
Everything is no different.
If the drunken man hadn't returned to normal the moment he entered the door, everything would have been no different.
The two quickly took off their clothes and exchanged, and then the servant who was originally Xiao Yi put on the young master's clothes, smeared them on his face, and turned into the appearance of the young master. Lie in bed and start to fall asleep.
And the young master, who was originally drunk, put on the costume of Xiao Yi's servant and disguised himself into Xiao Yi's appearance.
He pushed the door open, and the sound of drunken people drowsy soundly sounded inside, causing another burst of laughter. And he, like Xiao Yi before, smiled awkwardly at everyone, and walked briskly with his head down.
"I'm going to help your young master buy sobering medicine again. ”
"Take your young master out of Luoyang as soon as possible, why bother to be drunk and dreaming of death every day. Someone kindly persuaded him.
He glanced at the man, and quickly left the restaurant with his head down.
The man with good intentions shook his head and sighed.
He has seen too many young people like this who want to make a career but indulge in the arrogance and lust that he has never seen before. In the end, he just took the years lightly and returned to his hometown.
This person will not know that there is a kind of person in this world, called the intelligence saucer.
The young master dressed as Xiao Yi came to a pharmacy, and as soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy asked with a smile, "It's Xiao Yi, I'm here to buy sobering medicine again." ”
He smiled awkwardly and nodded.
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy didn't say much, but smiled gently, "It's specially prepared for you, come with me." ”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy led Xiao Yi into the backyard.
As soon as he entered, the temperaments of the two of them all changed like earth, and there was no longer the nervousness and embarrassment on his face that the servants were afraid of causing trouble, and there was no longer a gentle smile on the face of the pharmacy shopkeeper.
"There has been an order from above, we need to make this arrogant country pay for what he has done!" "The young master who was dressed as Xiao Yi said coldly at this moment, "The target has been selected, the target information has also been investigated, and he is ready to do it at any time!"
"Yes!" said the shopkeeper of the drugstore, as well as the countless corners of the backyard of the drugstore, all softly but firmly.
The young master pressed his hand to his heart, "Long live for me!"
"Long live my king!" shouted in unison.
