Chapter 496 Return (2)

"The Supreme Lord is as urgent as the law!"

Under the setting sun on a summer evening, after shouting out a strange yet simple sentence, Cao Ming, who was standing next to him, shivered violently and felt an inexplicable chill that penetrated his bones.

However, when he looked around, he saw nothing unusual.

The setting sun is still the setting sun, reflecting the golden red color on the sea, rippling with the waves; in the camp in the distance, smoke is curling up, it is the busiest time in the evening; and on one side, inside and outside Jin'ao City, people have already entered because the city gate is to be closed.

Cleaning status.

All this is business as usual.

Even, even... it feels a bit like the great harmony of feudalism.

He turned back to look at Bai Yousi in a panic, only to find that Bai Yousi's eyes had fallen on a place behind him... Cao Ming had no choice but to take a look, but it was the Jin'ao City he had just seen.

"It's really interesting." When Cao Ming was about to ask, Bai Yousi said with a smile. "I want to return to Dengzhou, but the compass points to Jin'ao City... Your Highness, King Qi, what do you think is the key or key to this city?

Is it important?"

"What can it be?" Cao Ming forced himself to calm down and answered almost instinctively. "There is a great master in this city! He is also a supervisor sent by the Supreme! You compass..."

"I see, I thought it was my fleet, but the direction is a little wrong." Bai Yousi shook the compass, and after confirming the direction, he hung the compass back to his waist calmly, and that is where it was hung back.

In an instant, the apparently straight pointer of the compass miraculously dropped down again. "His Royal Highness, King Qi, do you think that the great master of Dongyi is willing to do this hard work for the one to the south?"

Cao Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No matter what, can he still be as rebellious towards the Supreme Being as you are? Do you think everyone..."

Halfway through his words, His Royal Highness, the polished King Qi, shut his mouth, and then turned back again and again to look blankly at Jin Ao City behind him.

"If God doesn't say anything, someone will decide." Bai Yousi held the sword and squinted his eyes slightly, also looking at Jin Aocheng. "Others don't know, don't we know? After all, the Grand Master is still human..."

Cao Ming didn't say anything discouraging this time. He hesitated for a moment and asked instead: "Are you saying that this Grand Governor is the Grand Governor of the Dongyi people after all, so when it comes to talking about the Supreme Lord, the Qing Emperor is the first.

Lord, the one in the south is second best? So you can always give him a hard time and give him a try?"

"Of course I do." Bai Yousi answered seriously. "But I think the biggest hope is that he is a human being and not a god."

Cao Ming shook his head. It's not that he didn't understand what the other party meant... In fact, in terms of cultivation, he had once been a master; in terms of political status, he had been the implicit successor widely recognized by the government and the public for many years; in terms of experience and knowledge, he also

He once raised the Jinglong Sword to summon Fenshanjun, and both of the two great masters were close to him... one was considered his teacher, and the other was his uncle.

However, the more this happens, the more difficult it is for him to face the natural chasm... The Supreme Master versus a Grandmaster like Bai Sanniang, or even a Grandmaster like Li Ziqi, should be a Grandmaster versus the Ordinary Qi Meridian, right?

How to deal with it?

And what if you've finished dealing with the Grand Master? There's still the Supreme!

To put it bluntly, he just doesn't have the confidence.

It’s just that the words have to be said again, and they have to be said in a more unpleasant way... After all, can his situation be worse? Is his objection effective?

Therefore, Cao Ming simply shook his head again: "Bai Sanniang, my mother and son are in the hands of Zhang Sanlang, whether it is rescue or kidnapping, it is what it is, so if you are determined to do this, I have nothing to say, listen.

That's what you sent me...do you want me to tell Li Ziqi?"

"No." Bai Yousi said with a slight smile. "I will deal with Li Ziqi here. I want you to find Wang Yuande and use his power to embarrass Li Ziqi."

Cao Ming was stunned for a long time, watching the sun almost set, and then asked: "Who is Wang Yuande?"

"Who is Hou Junshu?" In a small village by the Jishui River, Zhang Xing, who was sitting under the shade of a tree at the head of the village, stared at the official document in front of him for a long time. He didn't remember who the person above was, so he opened his mouth to ask.

It has only been a few years, but have I already reached this level? Can’t even remember the so-called important ministers of Youzhou? Is Cao Che possessed? Didn’t I just drink a few more cups of sour plum soup after summer came and keep it cold?

’s… that’s not considered slacking off, right?

Just when Chief Zhang was confused and doubting himself, the newly appointed Wen Fengchang who was accompanying him hurriedly came out from behind and bowed to answer: "Reporting to Chief, if Hou Junshu can come to the Chief's case, it should only be an envoy from Youzhou...

He was born in Guanlong, but his grandfather got the position of Duke Liucheng among the seven guards and eight dukes in the North when the Sima clan of the previous dynasty was in conflict with the Eastern Qi Dynasty. However, he hesitated a little when the Wei Dynasty annexed it, and was taken over by the former Qi Dynasty.

He was abandoned once and for all, and now he only hangs out around Youzhou."

Zhang Xing looked at the official document in his hand that was transferred from Jiyin City but came from Hebei. He hesitated for a moment, and then asked seriously: "Is this person very famous?"

"What's his reputation?" Feng Chang couldn't help but smile wryly and spread his hands. "This man is from a poor family, and he is only in his early twenties. His cultivation level is not high, and he has no patience for things. He is famous for his eagerness for quick success, and he is just throwing knives.

There are just some names around the ridge. But..."

At this point, Feng Chang became slightly solemn: "However, in troubled times, this kind of person is like a fish in water. He is born to do... chaos."

"It turns out he is a new person. I thought this person was an important minister of Youzhou, but I forgot about it." Zhang Xing, who was sitting there, felt relieved. "He should have just defected to Luo Shu after he took control of Youzhou?"

"should be."

"This is the Governor of the North of Youzhou, the Governor of Anle County, General Fenwu, Duke Liucheng..."

"Liu Chenggong must be boasting to highlight the name of his ancestors. The general's name is most likely an internal representation of Youzhou. The governor of the north of Youzhou and the prefect of Anle County are the same thing. They are the northern part of Youzhou leading to Thudao Ridge Fortress.

A small county on the road has only two counties, or even two small cities..."

Zhang Xing thought for a while and then said to the staff officer next to him: "Go to Jiyin City to see if Zhang Gongshen, the deputy director, has set out. I haven't invited him to come."

The staff officer then went to look for the person.

But at this moment, Feng Chang hurriedly said again: "Chief, wait a minute..."

Zhang Xing immediately raised his hand to stop the staff, and at the same time looked at Feng Chang: "What do you say?"

"Chief, may I ask why the chief came to ask this person...did this person do something, or did he come to our side?" Feng Chang asked immediately.

"Come to us as a messenger." Zhang Xing raised his hand and said.

"That's right... Youzhou is sending envoys here. According to Luo Shu's narrow vision, he is afraid that it will be difficult to surrender directly. Instead, he wants to join forces with us to attack Xue Changxiong in Hejian... Dare I ask if this is true?

?" Feng Chang continued to ask.

"Indeed." Zhang Xing nodded, but he was puzzled again. "Feng Wenshu, how do you know everything about Youzhou? Luo Shu is just a master, but Hou Junshu actually knows this?"

"Report to the chief." Feng Chang explained quickly. "My subordinate is originally from Hebei, and his mother's family is from Youzhou, so I know."

"But haven't you been an official for a long time?" Zhang Xing was still curious. "I remember that your wife is Yang Bin's younger sister. When did that happen?"

"It was only twenty years ago." Feng Chang managed a smile.

"I joined the center twenty years ago. How do I know if a person in his twenties with a broken household is still from his mother's hometown?"

"Who told Yang Bin to be lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside, Yang Shen with great ambition and talent, and the two previous emperors of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Che, one was cruel and partial, the other looked down upon others?" Feng Chang smiled bitterly. "I met Chief Zhang before I met him.

, it’s good to be able to find Yu Changji, Prime Minister Yu, as a shield... He has not been in power all year round, and the weather above is treacherous, so naturally he has to pay attention to his hometown and his retreat, so we know that there is such a person at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain in Youzhou."

Zhang Xing nodded thoughtfully, but then looked at Yu Changnan, the deputy in charge of clerical work, who was sitting next to the millstone under the shade of a tree in front of him. However, the latter was just sitting on a stool and writing quickly on the millstone, replying to official documents as required, and turned a deaf ear to what was going on here.

.

These two people, plus Ma Wei and Yan Qing who has not yet returned, are actually the four core deputies of Zhang Xingxing and Chen Bin.

If we take into account that Ma Wei is mainly responsible for military assistance, and Yan Qing is more like a personnel supervisor, then Chen Bin's real assistants are these two people with different virtues, qualifications, and merits.

Frankly speaking, this is against the rules and unreasonable, but it is helpless.

To put it bluntly, the senior leaders of the gang do not have the ability and experience... Even Chen Bin is actually a descendant, and it is a double surrender, and he is from the royal family of Nanchen. But even Chen Bin, in the face of more and more people

When the stall got bigger, it became obviously difficult, so we could only rely on these people who had taken care of the world for Wei.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xing felt a little emotional in his heart - Grammar officials... Grammar officials use writing to rule the world, even if the gods and dragons come, they will not waste the power of paper and pen.

"Then why don't you let Zhang Gongshen come over?" Zhang Xing thought for a moment before returning to the original question.

"Reporting back to the chief, Luo Shu is only interested in small profits and has no foresight. In addition, he may have been kind to us during the Hebei War. It would be strange if he did not come to ask for a flank attack." Feng Chang also lost his nervousness.

, immediately explained. "It's just that this kind of thing is a big deal. I dare to ask why he didn't send his confidants over? For example, who are those people from Yanyun's Eighteenth Cavalry?"

"Maybe it's because we need to rely on the Eighteen Cavalry to lead the army, or maybe it's because these people are afraid that they won't leave when they see me and Leader Zhang Gongshen." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "These people will inevitably be a little embarrassed when they see Leader Zhang."

"What the chief said is absolutely true. It's because Leader Zhang Gongshen is here and he is afraid that these people will be embarrassed when they see Leader Zhang." Feng Chang said seriously.

"Then he sent this person to take over Gongshen's previous position in Anle County..." Zhang Xing said halfway, but he shook his head and laughed. "I know, he wants to embarrass Gongshen in turn... Don't

I called Chief Zhang and asked him to go back to Hebei to work on the military weapons inspection. I didn’t tell him anything and only asked that Hou Junshu to come here to see me."

Wang Yi's staff immediately left.

"Chief Yingrui." Feng Chang watched the staff leave and also smiled. "My subordinates would also like to congratulate the chief... It seems that the unification of Hebei is without any difficulties."

"How do you say that?" Zhang Xing smiled half-heartedly.

"Because I only knew that Luo Shu was a martial artist without far-sightedness before, but I didn't expect him to be so ungrateful and incompetent." Feng Chang said with a smile. "This kind of person seems to be bold and powerful, and he seems to have some ability and capital.

But the more he makes troubles, the more he ruins the situation and passes heroes and rivers to virtuous people for nothing... and the chief is a virtuous person."

"Am I also a virtuous person?" Zhang Xing laughed. "That's not what Li Silang and others said..."

Feng Chang laughed dryly for a moment, but couldn't answer the question.

But Zhang Xing became serious again: "Actually, to comment on a person's virtue, it still depends on his situation and position. When he is really at the end of his rope or has nothing to worry about, I will do bad things. Instead, in the previous Wei Dynasty court, everyone

Neither the left nor the right are virtuous, and it is difficult for you to be virtuous... However, Luo Shu is the master of more than a dozen counties in Youzhou, and he came here to form an alliance, for his bold and powerful military ambitions... Not to mention the opponent he formed an alliance with

No, they just want to form an alliance with us, but they also want to embarrass the leader of our gang. Doesn't embarrassing Leader Zhang mean to embarrass our gang? This is indeed a bit...short-sighted."

Feng Chang just nodded.

Just like that, everyone put aside this topic and just returned to their original work.
To be continued...
