Golden Scale Club [Republic of China + Jiang Chengyan X Mu Bingci]

In the cold and rainy night, the lights in Jiang Chengyan's study were lit all night.It seems that after Mu Bingci left, the lights in that room were always on all night, decorating it as a lonely landscape in the cold night of Jiang Mansion.

Jiang Chengyan answered Mu Bingci's phone call that night, and sat at the table with his long legs crossed, looking out the window at the long dark night, as if something was stuck in his chest.He propped his hands back on the table, touched a book with his fingers, picked it up and read, it was "The Age of Cold Weapons" which Mu Bingci had read halfway through.Jiang Chengyan casually flipped through the pages of the book, and every layer of the paper seemed to be filled with the smell of Mu Bingci.

This kind of smell is as domineering as that little guy's person, just flipping it casually, the hood is covered and the face is hit, and it penetrates into people's thoughts everywhere.Then he gathered the sand into a tower and piled it up layer by layer until his heart orifice was completely filled, so that every thought of Jiang Chengyan was branded with Mu Bingci's name.

Jiang Chengyan gently stroked the edge of the book with his fingers, and sighed silently.

Originally, he didn't have to ask about the military and political issues in Huizhou.It was indeed an accident that Mu Chengshan was assassinated by the adjutant, but Mu Yanqiu has the ability to deal with the adjutant's rebellion well.If Mu Yanqiu can't even govern Huizhou, how can he expect him to command a huge military division of 80 in seven provinces?

The biggest surprise was on Mu Bingci.

At the beginning, he went to Huizhou to discuss with Mu Chengshan the plan to lead troops to the Northern Expedition on the condition of unlimited financial support and founding military and political heroes.The Mu family holds the military power in seven provinces and has occupied the south for decades. Mu Chengshan has been the uncrowned king for most of his life.But if he wants to spend a huge price to expand the territory, it is not necessary for him.For the sake of Jiang Mu's marriage, Mu Chengshan finally agreed to give Mu Yanqiu two provinces as the vanguard army. If the war goes well, he will personally lead the army of the five provinces into the Central Plains.

At the end of April last year, Jiang Chengyan went to Huizhou on the pretext of attending Mu Yanqiu's ancestor recognition ceremony, and negotiated with Mu Chengshan on the matter on the first night.What Mu Chengshan can offer is Mu Yanqiu and the two provinces, but he doesn't offer many conditions, only one of the most important is that Jiang Chengyan promise to protect Mu Bingci and keep him away from gunfire and shells. Regardless of whether the war is successful or not.

After all, Mu Chengshan has had foresight for so many years. He is afraid that although Mu Bingci is a child, he dares to make such two big dramas on the day of Mu Yanqiu's ancestor worship. If Mu Yanqiu went to hell, the Mu family would make a big leak for him.Anyway, he was determined not to let Mu Bingci get dirty with the army, so Mu Chengshan simply sent him to Shanghai, wanting him to settle down there, and simply live an ordinary life.

This is why Mu Bingci was asked to visit Mu Qinxue in Shanghai, and Jiang Chengyan was asked to take Mu Bingci to Shanghai.While Mu Bingci was still on the train, Mu Chengshan ventilated with Mu Qinxue, hoping that Mu Bingci's attachment to Mu Qinxue would trap him in Shanghai.

Of course Jiang Chengyan knew what this meant.One of Mu Chengshan is to protect Mu Bingci, and the other is to show his loyalty to the Jiang family.He, Miss Mu, married the Jiang family, and entrusted his most beloved son-in-law to the Jiang family. The Jiang family could not live up to this trust.From then on, Jiang Mu and his family were tied together in a line, regardless of each other.

So at first Jiang Chengyan noticed the secret emotional friction with Mu Bingci. Although he was happy, he deliberately kept a distance from him intellectually.If it weren't for Mu Bingci's ability to make such a fuss, maybe he would have passed two days of freshness.After all, emotionally, there are very few delusions that Jiang Chengyan can't suppress.However, the fact is that Jiang Chengyan's resistance to Mu Bingci is unimaginably low.

If he hadn't been tempted by Mu Bingci, he would have been able to use Mu Bingci only as a tool to weigh the pros and cons due to the changes in the Mu family today. Mu Bingci has become the weakness that restrains his actions.Just now, can he do it?Leaving aside the fact that Mu Bing's resignation was accidental, it was a breach of promise to Mu Chengshan, and it would also force Mu Yanqiu, an upright and loyal servant, to turn against the Jiang family. Most importantly, can he survive his own test? ?

Mu Bingci has only lived with him for more than half a year, and now his breath is everywhere in this room, and it seems that he can collide with him just by turning around.The little thing would rub the tip of his nose and complain: "Jiang Chengyan, you are as strong as a cow, so don't keep standing in front of others, okay? When you take the gang out to fight like this, you can kill a bunch of younger brothers by turning around, and the opponent's fighting power will immediately increase. To the point of winning without a fight—how are you proud?"

When Mu Bingci loved him, he was warm and sweet without reservation.But when he called just now, he said that he couldn't come back to Shanghai.He didn't even ask, Jiang Chengyan, how are you?When he was in trouble, the first person Mu Bingci gave up was Jiang Chengyan.Mu Bingci's love and hate are too clear, and Jiang Chengyan suddenly felt a little worried. If there is no force between them, maybe the previous strong feelings will be diluted by time.

What a cruel thing.

Jiang Chengyan kept that posture and thought for a long time, until he couldn't think any more, he turned back to his seat, spread out the paper, picked up a quill pen, and began to trace the topography of Huizhou and Zhejiang from his memory.Next to it, write the number of possible moves Xue Qing could make, and then list the countermeasures one by one.

until dawn.

The next day was still cold and rainy, Jiang Chengyan visited Mu Qinxue at dawn.Unfortunately these days, Mu Qinxue's precious daughter was ill, and Mu Qinxue couldn't get away from her body, and when she turned around and learned the news of Mu Bing's resignation, she was very anxious.As soon as he saw Jiang Chengyan, he burst into tears: "Chengyan, you came back from Huizhou so soon? You haven't seen Bingci, have you? That child—I don't know what the situation is now! If I knew this, I should have taken it a month ago." Tell him about Dad, how could he be abducted?"

Jiang Chengyan said: "Second sister-in-law, don't blame yourself. If you tell Bingci about Mu Shuai, he will definitely go back to Huizhou to find out. It's okay to have a chance at that time, and let others have a chance to play his abacus. This is the end of the matter. It is imperative to figure out how to solve it now.”

Mu Qinxue said: "What good way do you have to rescue Bingci? I'm really afraid that if we make a fuss, Xue Qing and the others will notice, and they will kill Bingci—"

Jiang Chengyan said: "Looking at it for the time being, Xue Qing still wants to take advantage of Bingci's orthodoxy of the Mu family to carry out the meaning of 'restoration'. In the near future, Bingci's resignation is not in danger. Second sister-in-law should know that the reason why Mu Shuai was able to contain the garrisons of the seven provinces , because the regime in the seven southern provinces is like a small imperial court. One of Mu Shuai's methods is to beat them up, and the other is to praise them. He usually uses military expenses to support them, and directly suppresses those who refuse to accept it. This makes the six provinces willingly submit to Muzi's banner. Therefore, these generals cannot be restrained by just using the orthodox name of the Mu family. Xue Qing will soon find that his ideas are too naive, and the role of Bingci is not as great as he thought, what's more It will also cause other generals to send troops to beat him in order to get Bing Ci back, to show their loyalty to the Mu family. At that time, Xue Qing wants to quickly throw away this hot burden, and other generals will not love Bing Ci as much as Yan Qiu , the first to bear the brunt of the two blows, Bingci will be in big trouble."

Mu Qinxue used to be in charge of the Mu Mansion in Huizhou alone, but she was only limited to an inch of land in the backyard of the inner mansion.As for these major military and political events, after all, I only heard a little bit.Hearing Jiang Chengyan's analysis, he couldn't help but turn pale, and asked anxiously: "What does Mu Yanqiu think? Can he help Bingci?"

Jiang Chengyan said: "Yan Qiu's cherishment of Bing Ci is not inferior to Mu Shuai and you at all. Regarding this point, the second sister-in-law can rest assured. Yan Qiu and I have discussed this matter, and it is not feasible to rush to send troops. To save Bing Ci , there is only one way, which is to let Bingci find a way to leave Xue Qing by himself. And this matter, only you, the second sister-in-law, can do it."

Mu Qinxue said: "Me? What should I do to make Bingci come back?"

Jiang Chengyan said: "To tell the truth, my sister-in-law, Bingci called me last night. According to him, he wanted to fight Yanqiu to the death. Now Xue Qing is the first to sue Bingci for the fabricated Huizhou military incident. , because of Bingci's personal safety, we can't argue with each other. I want to move you as a rescuer. First, Bingci only listens to your words. Second, Mu Shuai is gone. You can still be regarded as the head of the Mu family. The news of Mu Shuai's death Now the whole country knows that you should return home to organize the funeral for your deceased father, this matter can be as big as the scene can be. This is to divert the attention of the provinces and keep them on hold for the time being, at least not to surrender to Xue Qing too soon."

"So, the second sister-in-law must go to Huizhou in person. At the same time, she published a letter in the newspaper and made a statement in the name of the family, asking Bingci to return to Huizhou to funeral her father as soon as possible. As long as Bingci's heart is touched, that is also a turning point. I will send someone at that time Sneak into Lin'an City, meet Bing Ci, and make sure he can escape unscathed if necessary."

Mu Qinxue remained silent.She can understand what Jiang Chengyan said.But whether it will really work, she is not sure.It's just that there is no other way at this time.In the end, he just nodded heavily. "I see. Chengyan, no matter what, you must help me rescue Bing Ci. My Mu family is grateful to you."

Lin'an City.

After Mu Bingci settled down, he didn't do anything other than send the telegram.The power-on was sent on the same day as that in Huizhou, and the situation became complicated and embarrassing, so there was no effect in a short period of time.In such a situation, people with a better threshold would observe the movement first, and the generals of the provinces would stand still and just send a telegram to express their condolences.Xue Qing guessed that since Lin'an received the telegram, Huizhou must have it too.These are all human beings, and they will never jump down easily if they don't know whether it is a treasure or a fire pit.

Mu Bingci spent a few days messing around in the house, and had a thorough understanding of the evolution of the military and political forces in the southern provinces within two generations of the Mu family.The season was approaching the end of the new year, and it snowed that night, Mu Bingci suddenly asked Lin Youxian if there was a meeting room in the mansion, saying that he had something to discuss with the two of them in detail.

Lin You first moved out his own conference room for Mu Bingci to use temporarily, and after dinner, he called Xue Qing to go with him to meet Mu Bingci.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mu Bingci sitting at the head, with a stack of papers spread out on the table, and he was busy arranging them.

The two sat on both sides of Mu Bing's resignation, Xue Qing asked: "Young Marshal called us so late, what is the important thing?"

Mu Bingci raised his head and looked at the two of them: "Since I have come to Lin'an, I have also shown my hostile stance with Mu Yanqiu. I don't care what kind of army wants power outside. My first thing to do is to destroy Mu Yan Autumn, I am sitting at the commander-in-chief's mansion in Huizhou. I have analyzed the situation in Huizhou and Lin'an in the past few days, and before the provinces have expressed their views, we must prepare to send troops as soon as possible and take the initiative to attack Huizhou."

Xue Lin and the two of them were inexplicably surprised when they heard these remarks. They sat opposite each other and turned a glance at each other. The corners of Lin Youxian's mouth couldn't help twitching.In order to cover up his expression at this moment, he blurted out and asked, "I wonder what the young commander has planned?"

Mu Bingci didn't care about the small actions of the two of them, and just followed the thoughts he had sorted out: "Since ancient times, wars that have been victorious have only a few conditions: a well-known army, financial support, outstanding generals, strong troops, and a well-organized organization. Speed, excellent weapons, support from friends and neighbors, and good timing and terrain. At present, we have an advantage in terms of dispatching troops and financial resources. Then, what we need to strengthen is to select good generals, purchase weapons and Take the opportunity to win the support of the generals of other provinces. As long as we do these three things well, we will make a surprise attack during the Chinese New Year. We will attack from Qiantang and Jinhua across the Tianmu and Huaiyu Mountains, and Huizhou will definitely be easy to attack."

Lin Youxian frowned after hearing this: "Young commander's way of using troops is really—"

He was interrupted by Xue Qing with a wave of his hand: "Young Marshal's way of using troops is really clever, please allow me and General Lin to understand carefully, and we will make arrangements with the Young Marshal after our opinions have been merged and finalized. Can the Young Marshal agree? "

Mu Bing looked at him for a while, his gaze was full of exploration and innocence, and he smiled suddenly: "Of course. Please discuss with the two uncles, and the matter of attacking Huizhou should be implemented as soon as possible."
