Chapter 173: Infiltration
The land of Jingchu has been outstanding since ancient times, the people's livelihood is rich, Jiangling Mansion as an important town in the southeast has also produced a lot of singing and crying stories, heroes and famous families are endless, the family that can occupy a place here, for the whole world, is very important, and this Jiangfu is such a deposit.
The master of this room is surnamed Jiang Shengqun, General Feng Yunlu, and served as the superintendent of the Jiangnan Naval Army, so Jiangfu is called the General's Mansion by the people of Jiangling. Although Jiang Shengqun's official position is not too high, he is in charge of almost half of the army of the Southern Song Dynasty, and most of the naval troops are under his control, and his power can be imagined. It's just that the Song Dynasty has always emphasized civil affairs over military force, and if it weren't for a special period, the status of military generals was inferior to that of civilian officials, and on the other hand, the naval strength of the Han people at that time was second to none in the world, so although these armies were not weak, they rarely had the opportunity to fight. Therefore, although Jiang Shengqun has a heavy army, he is more like an idle job, and he is not very obvious on weekdays. However, the power in his hands cannot be underestimated, because many people privately call Jiang Shengqun the king of the river, and take the king of the river.
Although this title is only circulated in private, it will inevitably reach the ears of the superiors, especially the emperor, and there are also some villains above the court who have nothing to do to see Jiang Shengqun's goodness, so they will refer to him when they have nothing to do, and the entry point is the title of King Jiangzhong. It's just that the emperor has never suspected Jiang Shengqun on this matter, but has more trust in him, which makes many people confused, so the only explanation is that Jiang Shengqun is loyal to Zhao, and he does have a title - loyal and straightforward.
Since ancient times, the emperor's family will use various means to the courtiers, but all kinds of means are nothing more than four words, and they attach equal importance to grace and power. Majesty can naturally deter the ministers, but the deterrence of one can only make people's hearts scattered, so this word of grace is particularly important, and it must be mastered to a degree. This degree is not only for those who are in high positions, but even for those who are courtiers, they must also know how to master it, after all, not everyone has the courage to wear the big hat of the master.
It's just that even if you want to master this degree, you have to look at the environment, the so-called times create heroes, and many high-ranking people can achieve extraordinary status is also driven by various factors. Very few people make it to the next level, because it takes a lot of courage and a lot of involuntarily to do it. Every move of a supreme minister often cannot only represent himself, but is related to the common people in the world. But a person has come to this point, and his power can only be described by the word monstrous, and if he wants to be rewarded again, he can only be knighted.
The person who is crowned the king and the knight must be a relative of the emperor and the country, as an outsider, can get the title, all of them have great merit, if you really want to say that the person who accumulates merit and is knighted, it has never been in the past thousand years, after all, in the history of Chinese inheritance, the concept of blood is extremely heavy, but in the vast history, the more blood relatives are ill-intentioned, the more scandals of brothers killing brothers and sons killing fathers emerge one after another, in the final analysis, they are all for the word right. It is precisely because there are countless such things, and at the same time, many loyal courtiers have been derived from the drama of the king of Qin, and accordingly, because of the heavenly merit of King Qin, the emperor who lives for the rest of his life after the catastrophe will naturally not hesitate to reward, so he has also created many princes with different surnames, and these kings with different surnames are another type of lords in addition to the emperor's relatives.
The title is another system that distinguishes it from the official title, and its honor is incomparable to that of any courtier, even if the official with power and force cannot be compared with the person who has the title, there is only one reason, that is, the title can be hereditary.
There are also high and low titles, the duke is the highest level of title, and then the king is the king. Jiang Shengqun was able to get the title of Loyal and Honest Prince, which shows the weight of his family, but his Duke was not given by the emperor, but by the people of the world, that is, he was praised for his loyalty and integrity. The two titles of King Jiangzhong and Zhongzhigong are not officially affirmed, but they are worthy of the name, and the eyes of the people can't rub the slightest bit of sand, but they can still sit so firmly with these two names, you can see Jiang Shengqun's excellence, and second, you can also see the attitude of the royal family.
At this time, the world is in turmoil, Zhao's country can be said to be precarious, the court urgently needs Jiang Shengqun such a powerful and loyal to the royal family, this can almost be regarded as an insurance, at this moment compared to the royal family's clan, Zhao Gou is more dependent on this foreign surname courtier, if it is not for Zhao Gou to take care of himself now, it is estimated that he will not hesitate to give Jiang Shengqun the two titles of King of Jiangzhong and Zhongzhigong, one is to win people's hearts, and the other is to hug Jiang Shengqun's thighs. Although Jiang Shengqun is his subordinate, in this extraordinary period, only those who hold military power have the right to speak, and Zhao Gou can distinguish between priority and urgency even if his vision is short.
Although Zhao Gou did not reward Jiang Shengqun, he did not deny that even if he acquiesced in disguise to Jiang Shengqun's two titles, there was no reason why Jiang Shengqun could not make great achievements, after all, the Song Dynasty was a powerful sailor, and ordinary people really didn't dare to take this tiger whisker lightly. And Zhao Gou is actually not in a hurry to reward him, not to mention that the teacher is unknown, he can also trust Jiang Shengqun's loyalty, because the loyalty of the Jiang family is also passed down from generation to generation. Jiang Shengqun was able to sit firmly in his current position without success, and naturally he was also in the shadow of his ancestors, and the Jiang family finally became the Zhao family for generations, which has almost become a family rule, so Zhao Gou dared to rest assured and boldly let the Jiang family hold heavy troops.
There are two sides to everything, Jiang Shengqun is relied on by Zhao Gou, naturally there will be people who are jealous of him and want to deal with him quickly, and there are many such people.
Moon star Lang, the front of the Jiangfu is exceptionally deserted, outside the huge Jiangfu, there is not much popularity on weekdays, ordinary people dare not wander here, the fear of the superior has developed the humble character of the people at the bottom, the same is true tonight, but even the guards in front of the Jiangfu have disappeared without a trace, adding a bit of a strange atmosphere to the already majestic Jiangfu. The cold wind brought a biting chill, but no matter how cold the wind was, it couldn't blow away the killing intent in the air, and if someone with a nose was here, he might be able to smell the faint smell of blood in the air.
Tonight, a qiē and a qiē are so unusual.
Wow, the unique friction sound of True Qi Breaking the Sky sounded in the silent Jiang Mansion, like a starting signal, for a while, all kinds of short sound of breaking the air sounded one after another, and the moment the sound of breaking the sky stopped, it would be accompanied by a faint muffled snort.
Jiangfu covers a very wide area, and there are also caves inside, all kinds of plants and man-made landscapes are readily available, and in order to reflect the owner's taste, the layout in Jiangfu is luxurious and very in line with the natural charm, if it is in normal times, these arrangements are of course pleasing to the eye, but at this moment, these arrangements that symbolize taste have become a natural barrier, covering the enemies who sneak here.
Under the bright moonlight, more than a dozen black-clothed people moved quickly with the help of various barriers, and the target was directly at the center of Jiang Mansion, Jiang Shengqun's bedroom.
The black-clothed men were tightly wrapped in their night clothes, and even their heads were hidden. More than a dozen people flew to a rockery, and then quietly dispersed, but one of them rushed straight forward, and when he was about to approach the rockery, he accelerated suddenly, and his body suddenly pressed, almost lying on the ground, but this action did not affect his speed at all. The black-clothed man who lowered his body moved his wrist slightly, and a silver light flashed in his hand, which was a short dagger, and the true qi was poured into the dagger, and the dagger, which was not long, suddenly burst out of a half-foot-long blade, and by inertia, the black-clothed man turned into an afterimage, and rushed through the rockery without any stagnation. It's just that he just crossed the rockery, but his body suddenly stopped, from extremely fast to stationary, without any excess and buffer in the middle, which shows that this man in black has extraordinary skills, and his control power is also amazing, with this method alone, the man in black is enough to rank among the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, not to mention the energy he poured into the blade, if there is no deep internal cultivation, it is also very difficult to do.
After the man in black stopped, there was a sudden sneering sound behind him, but the sound disappeared as soon as it started. Behind him, another man in black suddenly flashed up, dragged out a soldier in military uniform from the grass, wiped his right hand on the soldier's neck, and threw it aside. If you look closely, you can see that there is a thin red line on the soldier's neck, and there are a few drops of bright red liquid slowly dripping on the red line, and the smell of blood is extremely strong.
The man in black shot quickly and ruthlessly, and cooperated with each other tacitly, one person killed first, and the other person disposed of the corpse later, and did not make a sound, which can be seen that they are all elite in this regard. While the two men in black solved a secret whistle, the others also committed suicide and acted cleanly.
These black-clothed people are undoubtedly professional killers, with a clear division of labor and a degree of cooperation, looking at their figures, they are all masters with extremely high light skills, this time they sneaked into Jiangfu obviously prepared, and they have a clear understanding of the secret sentinels in Jiangfu, if it is not for the ghosts in Jiangfu, these killers have done their homework.
In the blink of an eye, a few dark sentinels were removed, but the black-clothed people did not stop for a moment, and immediately unfolded their bodies to think about the destination of this trip, and the black-clothed man who was sliding and killing people walked in the front. But as soon as they moved, they heard a scream in the distance. The terrible screams broke the strange silence, and also made the dozen or so black-clothed people pause in an instant.
The man in black who was walking in the front looked at the source of the sound fiercely, and a cold killing intent immediately emanated from him, making the men in black around him involuntarily take a step back.
"A bunch of rubbish, who is in charge of that direction?" The man in black at the front was obviously a leader, and at this moment, this person's tone was cold and piercing, and he was obviously extremely angry in his heart.
It's just that although this person's voice is cold, with a sense of indifference that no one can approach, it is crisp and pleasant, and this killer with strong martial arts is actually a woman.
Hearing the woman's question, a person beside her hurriedly bent down and replied: "Back to the adult, that direction should be in charge of the wolf tooth." Although his tone was calm, a trace of fear was clearly revealed.
"Hmph!" the woman snorted noncommittally and ran forward.
Seeing the woman leave, the man who replied exhaled a breath, he knew that this woman was powerful, although the other party didn't say anything, but he must have already taken care of it, and tonight's action is a matter of importance, and the wolf tooth and those people are afraid that they will suffer.
Thinking about what was on his mind, the person who replied did not dare to delay, and followed closely behind the woman with the others. At the same time, there was already a loud crowd in Jiangfu, and it was obvious that the scream had attracted the attention of the owner here.
A vicious battle is about to break out.
