Zhang Hu and his party were progressing smoothly, and there were additional gains. Xie Jingan naturally didn't know it. Since the military supply team set off to the north, he was busy with Lin Yan on the exercise, and at the same time he was thinking about building an intelligence organization.

He has been in Mozhou for too short a time, and there are few people who can use him. Although what he is doing now has advantages and disadvantages for the aristocratic family, it is not enough to poke their sore spots and make them jump over the wall, but it is inevitable that there will be some actions in private. up.

Xie Jing'an is not a person who likes to be beaten, he also knows the word "preparation for a rainy day", so before the interests of the aristocratic family are really harmed, it is time to prepare one step ahead.

This night, I tossed and turned in the middle of the night. Even if I fell asleep, I was half asleep and half awake. I even had a nightmare. When he went out with Lin Yan, he saw the light of a knife stabbing him. He didn't feel any pain, but he saw the point of the knife penetrated deeply into Lin Yan's chest, which woke him up immediately.

When he woke up, he was covered in cold sweat. When the night watchmen outside heard the movement, they immediately came in to hold the lamps. They were startled when they saw Xie Jingan's appearance, and hurriedly went out to call the medical officer. It was Xie Jingan who stopped him and wiped his head With cold sweat on his face, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Is there anything going on outside?"

The servant was still a little flustered, and took a cautious look at Xie Jingan before answering: "Returning to Your Highness, there is Commander Jiang leading people to patrol the night outside, it's the same as in the past, nothing happened."

Xie Jingan turned his head and glanced at the pitch-black night outside without even a single starlight, and there was silence in his ears, and then he suddenly came to his senses that it was really just a nightmare.

He had an urge to call Lin Yan over, but his rationality made him hold on to this idea, and he didn't want to sleep any more, so he sat on the bed for a while, Xie Jingan simply asked people to light up the lights and wait for him to get up.

The servant didn't expect that Xie Jingan was about to get up, so he couldn't help persuading him cautiously: "It's still more than half an hour before His Highness usually wakes up, and the daytime is full of affairs, Your Highness might as well sleep for a while to rest your mind, so that you don't have to sleep during the day. No energy."

Frightened by this nightmare, Xie Jingan didn't even want to sleep, so he stood up as soon as he lifted the quilt, and said: "I've slept for three hours, that's enough, stop talking nonsense, let someone come in and take care of you."

Xie Jing'an said so, so the servant naturally didn't dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly went out to call, but after a while, someone came in with a water-white towel to wait for him to freshen up.

After grooming, it was not time for Lin Yan to teach him martial arts, and he couldn't bear to be woken up by others, so he asked someone to prepare refreshments, went to the study and sat down by himself, thinking about things while writing on paper. Write and draw.

He originally wanted to take in those orphans, teach them literacy and martial arts, and use them after they grow up for a few years, but now it seems that he can't wait, just because the Chen family who took refuge with him on the banquet was ridiculed and made trouble for the family, he knew that the family was right. He has a lot of dissatisfaction, and now he just complains and dares not take any action, but it is hard to guarantee that one day he will become bolder. There are not no such examples in history. If the intelligence department is established by then, I am afraid it will be too late too late.

Let's take advantage of the fact that the situation is still under control and build it as soon as possible.

The initial intelligence department didn’t need any professional personnel, as long as there were a few loyal and not stupid people to check for him, it was enough for him. The bottom ones could definitely attract some top-notch professionals, especially teahouses, restaurants, brothels, gambling houses, etc. If there are many and complicated personnel, the servants of some aristocratic families can also try it out.

This kind of aristocratic family serves not only the family's children, but also those who buy from outside. The lifeblood of the family's children is in the hands of the master, and they have been trained since childhood, so they must be loyal. But the purchases are different, because the family can't support them in exchange for money. Those who come in, after entering, are inferior to the sons of the family, and they are tortured every day, so there is no loyalty at all, as long as they are given a certain amount of money, they will definitely be used by him.

As soon as Xie Jingan changed his mind, he thought more and more farther, and he was very absorbed in his thoughts. He didn't come back to his senses until a servant at the door reported that General Lin was coming. He said: "What else is there to report, please come in soon."

The door rang, and Lin Yan, who was wearing a narrow-sleeved dress suitable for martial arts, stepped in, with a worried expression on his face. When the door was closed, he took two steps forward and said impatiently: "I heard the servant say , you woke up very early today, an hour earlier than usual, did you have something on your mind, or was it a nightmare?"

Lin Yan has such a close relationship with him, and the subordinates didn't tell the truth. It seems that he is really loyal. Xie Jingan thought about something randomly in his mind, and without answering, he stepped forward and hugged Lin Yan fiercely. live.

Although Xie Jingan often had some intimate behaviors in private, he had never hugged him so hard. Lin Yan was not frightened, but became more and more worried, so he also hugged him back and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?" But what happened? If it’s convenient for you to tell me, although I’m not smarter than you, I can still come up with some ideas, no matter how bad it is, I have a sword in my hand, and I can always get rid of your worries.”

Even though Xie Jingan was still a little scared, he couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but he didn't want to let go, so he hugged him like this: "It's nothing, it's just a nightmare, it's good to see you Yes, but after hearing what you said, I really have something to ask you."

Xie Jingan let go of his hand to look at him as he spoke, and he saw that something was wrong, and said in surprise: "What kind of panacea have you taken these days, how did you grow so tall?"

Lin Yan has indeed grown a lot taller. When he first met Xie Jingan in Tanzhou, he was half a head shorter than Xie Jingan, but now he is slightly taller than him. If the two were of the same age, it would be fine, but Lin Yan To be honest, he is three years younger than Xie Jingan, even after his birthday this year, he is only seventeen, and Xie Jingan is already an adult, why not be surprised?

Xie Jingan was taken aback, but Lin Yan couldn't help laughing. He put his hands on his shoulders and put his arms around him, and said softly: "It's not because of you that I can grow so tall. In the day, I ordered the people in the dining room to cook those tonics for me, if so, I still don’t grow up, wouldn’t it be a waste of your thoughts?”

"Then I've eaten a lot too." Lin Yan made such a sudden jump. Xie Jing was of course happy for him, but after thinking about it, he felt a little disappointed. Lin Yan is only seventeen and taller than him. When he was his own age, wouldn't he be more than a head taller than him, so how could he hold people in his arms, kiss them whenever he wanted, touch them whenever he wanted.

Xie Jingan never concealed anything in front of Lin Yan, so he naturally noticed the change in his expression, and he couldn't help laughing: "I can grow so tall, although it is due to those supplements, it is also because of practicing martial arts all day long. , you are so busy every day, it is not easy to spare an hour to practice martial arts, naturally not as much as me."

So it's because he doesn't exercise much?Xie Jing'an was a little depressed. Seriously speaking, he is not short now, more than 1.7 meters and faster than 1.8 meters. When he grows too long, he will be more than 1.8 meters, and Lin Yan is as tall as him now. Isn't it in the future? Is it more than 1.9 meters?

With such a tall figure, even if he forcibly hugs her into his arms, it's like throwing himself into his arms and acting like a baby, which really hinders his image.

Xie Jingan was depressed for a while, and even forgot what he wanted to say. He dragged Lin Yan and walked out the door, and said solemnly: "From today onwards, I will spend one more hour practicing martial arts with you. I don't believe it. It's too long for you."

Lin Yan didn't know why Xie Jingan was so depressed. Even if he was not taller than himself, he was not short either. Standing outside was majestic. He couldn't help being helpless and funny, but he had no choice but to follow him and practice with him for an extra hour. But after all, he was concerned about his body, so he didn't dare to practice too hard.

After more than a hour of practice, Xie Jingan felt happy, but his hands and feet were sore and weak. Lin Yan knew that this would be the case, so he squeezed his legs in the study after breakfast, and said with a smile at the same time: "Practicing martial arts is a step-by-step process. You have only practiced for more than a month, and you have suddenly increased to this level. Can your legs and feet not be sore? If you have nothing to do on weekdays, it's fine. You have so many things to do during the day. Busy, in my opinion, it should be an hour a day."

Xie Jingan was completely stimulated by the fact that Lin Yangao did not exist, so he naturally refused, and waved his hand and said, "As a feudal lord, how can I change the order from day to night, say that two hours will be two hours, and one hour less sleep is enough. It doesn't matter."

Lin Yan saw that he insisted, so it was not easy to persuade him, but he thought in his heart that he would ask the medical officer to prepare some medicinal herbs for the bath, and soak Xie Jingan every night so that he would not hurt his body.

After pinching for a while, Xie Jingan felt better, so he retracted his leg and talked about his plan to form an intelligence department.

Naturally, Lin Yan would not have any objections to this, and pondered for a while and said: "Although Mozhou is relatively peaceful now, the aristocratic family has already done a lot of things in private. You are busy these days, so I didn't tell you. Many of the merchants who stayed in Mozhou were attacked, but fortunately, the city guards patrolled frequently and arrived quickly, and those merchants only suffered some flesh injuries, but their lives were not harmed."

Xie Jing'an didn't expect such a thing to happen, he didn't need to think about who did it, he couldn't help saying angrily: "These aristocratic families are really daring, right in front of my eyes, those merchants even signed a contract with me and dare to do it, Do you really think that I have a good temper and dare not touch them?"

Lin Yandao: "Those aristocratic families may not be doing it for provocation, maybe it's also for profit. After all, if there is one less merchant who buys your prescription, there will be one less merchant to compete with them. Persimmons are picky, and the aristocratic families dare not move, so they have to challenge them." These foreign merchants."

Xie Jingan sighed, "It's still that I don't have enough prestige, and there are few people under my command who can beat others. Otherwise, the Liu family and that Zhang family killing chickens and monkeys alone would be enough to frighten them, but luckily nothing major happened, and it also gave me a wake-up call. Money needs to be earned, fiefdoms need to be built, but the army should be recruited and trained.”

Xie Jingan yelled out after saying this, and Cui Tong entered the door after a while, and said respectfully: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Xie Jing'an said: "Send someone to tell Mr. Xu of the Equipment Department that I will not go to the riverside for inspection today, let them figure it out for themselves, and reject all the posts sent by the aristocratic families. Just go to the barracks."
