Sha Po Lang

Cao Chunhua didn't dare to delay after receiving Linyuan Muniao, explained the matter at hand, and soon left for the Liangjiang station.

As soon as he approached the station, Cao Chunhua felt a murderous aura rushing towards his face from the damp and cold air, with a faint smell of gunpowder smoke. He straightened up involuntarily, stopped humming songs, and stopped making eyebrows. , He just straightened up and looked like a dog.I saw that the sentry here was heavily guarded, and all the officers and soldiers on duty didn't even whisper to each other, and there was no sound everywhere, only the place not far away from the routine training place was loudly shouting and killing.

Cao Chunhua rubbed her eyes, thinking for a moment that she saw another Black Tie Battalion.

As soon as he approached the station, he was stopped by guards on duty. Cao Chunhua didn't dare to joke under Gu Yun's military might, so he hurriedly took out the pass issued by the military plane. The average row of guards was no more than ten At the age of eight or nine, after checking that the order was correct, he was neither flattering nor disrespectful, and led him to the tent. Make up, there is no gap at all.

The guard who led the way was a little shy at first, but after hearing that Cao Chunhua had taken care of the northern barbarians with Gu Yun, he opened up a little bit of chatter: "Westerners can't get much from the commander, and they can't win in the frontal battle. These days, I have been going around several ports in Liangjiang, constantly coming to harass me. I heard from the centurion that he might want to compete with us for family fortune. My lord, don’t you all say that I am rich in land and resources in Daliang Dynasty? Why are foreigners so rich? money?"

"Don't call me an errand, I'm also an errand runner," Cao Chunhua waved his hand, and said, "I don't understand these things, but I heard a few words from Du Gong. Yuanhai and Naval Warfare are designed. Didn’t Jiangnan Port and Dagu Port be bombarded by others back then? Our army is like this, let alone those small countries on the sea. They flatten a place and completely destroy it 'Eat' it, plunder local supplies, open factories that cannot be opened in the country, force captives to work for them, and search for their blood——over time, they will naturally get rich."

The guard was silent for a while, and led Cao Chunhua all the way to Gu Yun's tent. The guard at the door went in to report back, and the young guard took advantage of this time to say to Cao Chunhua: "My lord, I heard the old soldier talk about the past two years. The Jiangshui army garrison said that when they were under General Zhao, they had a lot of money and less money, and their daily training was easier than that of garrisons in other places. If it's not the right time, if it's a Taiping year, maybe you can be a 'Military Lord'."

Cao Chunhua looked back at him, and the little guard smiled a little embarrassedly: "After listening to you say that today, I feel that I am short-sighted. People who can afford swords are luckier than pigs and dogs who are being chased. "

Just at this time, the commander-in-chief came out and said, "Master Cao, the commander-in-chief invites you in."

Cao Chunhua came back to her senses, stepped into the handsome tent, and saw Gu Yun wearing a particularly coquettish glazed mirror on the bridge of his nose. The carved and hollow pattern behind the lens was overwhelming, lingering from the bridge of the nose to the temples, almost covering the It covered half of his face, not like a glazed mirror, but like a mask.

Cao Chunhua was stunned for a moment, and the first reaction in her heart was "what's wrong with the handsome eyes".

But the handsome tent was talking about business, so Cao Chunhua didn't dare to disturb him for a while.

Both Shen Yi and Yao Zhen are there, and Yao Zhen is reading a letter from a Westerner: "The foreigner said that they are sincerely inquiring in the spirit of friendship and harmony, whether the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River can be designated as exchange areas and allow the garrison to govern themselves , to protect the interests of foreign merchants, this place can become a link between the two sides for maritime commerce in the future... Oh, they also said that they love this land deeply, and they don’t want the great fertile land to be poisoned by war again.”

Shen Yi: "Yesterday we returned three counties, why did we add another one today?"

Yao Zhen glanced at him helplessly: "Maybe it's because of 'deep love'?"

"Damn it." Gu Yun had a gentle and coquettish glass mirror on his face, but his words didn't sound kind, "What's the matter with blind love? Is it his turn to love?"

Shen Yi: "..."

Just couldn't answer the phone.

Cao Chunhua couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed out loud.

Shen Yi hurriedly waved at him and said, "Xiao Cao is here! I've been waiting for you for a long time, come quickly and tell me, when will our 'Iron Long Worm' be built?"

"Oh, Mr. Shen, you are so loud... Soon," Cao Chunhua replied briskly, "The most important thing we need is manpower. The northern section has basically been completed, and the southern section is even better. , there is no need to suspend work in winter, and when several parts are connected, the steam car will be able to run from Gyeonggi to the riverside. I heard from Du Gong that if it goes well, it will be completed before the end of the year at the earliest——Yes, Commander Why are you wearing glass mirrors?"

"Doesn't it look good?" Gu Yun smiled at him, the corners of those peach-like eyes almost flew up, and said brazenly, "I dropped one two days ago, this time I asked someone to change the frame. It’s carved, I really don’t want to hide the beauty, so I have to wear it every day for everyone to see.”

Shen Yi had a stomach ache and said: "Oh, my commander in chief, you'd better hide it well, our mortal eyes really don't deserve such beauty."

Gu Yun ignored him, turned his face to let Cao Chunhua take a full look, and casually said, "If it's really not possible, I'll go out and play tricks myself. I'm afraid a million soldiers can't handle it. Thirty to twenty thousand is no problem. Right Xiao Cao?"

Cao Chunhua's face turned red.

Shen Yi and Yao Zhen each turned their faces away, they could hardly look directly at each other.

"You came just in time." Gu Yun jumped up, put his arms around the shoulders of the red-faced Cao Chunhua, and pushed him to the front of the sand table, "I happen to have something that needs to be done by you, and I want you to run around and help me Do yourself a favor."

Gu Dashuai's ingenious "beauty trick" is different for Westerners, but it is very effective for Cao Chunhua anyway. His face turned red again, and the back of his neck was covered in hot sweat. No matter what you say to him, he can "good and good" agree to it.

When Cao Chunhua came out of the commander's tent in a daze, she was shocked—wait a minute, didn't Yan Wang send himself to take care of the commander?

Why was he fooled by the general to go to the southwest border just after he settled down?

Just now Gu Yun specially told him that this matter is confidential, if he walks out of the command tent, he will die in his stomach, even the Military Aircraft Department does not want to know...

This makes him go back how to explain!

Shen Yi personally arranged for the distraught Cao Chunhua, and then turned back to look for Gu Yun. Yao Zhen had already gone back, and the lights in the handsome tent were very dim.Gu Yun put his two long legs on a bench next to him, folded his hands in front of his chest, he didn't know what he was thinking - since he couldn't hear, he has lost a lot of troubles of seeing and hearing, it is easy Just focus on your own thoughts.

The cool wind brought by Shen Yi pushed the door and came in alarmed him, so Gu Yun raised his head and glanced at him: "Arranged?"

Shen Yi nodded and asked: "Do you really want to use Xiao Cao, or are you afraid that he will inform His Highness King Yan?"

"I'm such a person who doesn't distinguish between public and private?" Gu Yun raised his eyebrows, but before Shen Yi felt guilty and apologetic, he said, "Both of them."

Shen Yi: "..."

I have never seen such a separation between public and private.

"When we start a war, there will inevitably be changes in the court. His situation shouldn't be too much trouble. Now this situation is also a last resort. I should not let him be distracted by this small mistake here. In addition, Xiao Cao's matter is also important. It is really necessary to find someone who is flexible and trustworthy to do it," Gu Yun said, "Doesn’t the old man on the other side think that he is very good at fighting all the way along the sea? I will let him see the difference between a general and a handsome."

Shen Yi's whole body was divided into two by his words: the left half was the former team of Xuan Tie Ying, wishing to follow his own coach to the ground, and the right half made Gu Yun's sincere and shameless words so disgusting that his skin crawled—— At one time, I was speechless, so I had to beg: "Zixi, even if you are going to be blind, can you change to a normal glazed mirror?"

Gu Yun put on his armor and was ready to go out to patrol the camp - the commander personally patrols the camp every day, which is also a characteristic of Liangjiang Camp, even if he is blind.

"I don't," he replied solemnly, "I want to follow the example of King Lanling."

Shen Yi thinks that this bastard may not have transferred himself here to share his worries, but for fun!

After Cao Chunhua arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, she only had time to write a letter to Chang Geng, saying that Gu Shuai was busy with military affairs and bullying Mr. Shen every day, and there was nothing wrong with it. After that, there was no news from Cao Chunhua, and I don't know if he was sent to work by Gu Yun. It's better to simply "happily miss Shu".When Chang Geng thought of this person's nympho, it was impossible for him not to be sour at all, but he was sour at the same time, but at the same time he felt relieved - no news is good news, it will keep Cao Chunhua busy committing nympho all day long, Gu Yun There, it is probably as the monk Qingran said that he can do a job with ease.

At the same time, Chen Qingxu came to the capital around Chongyang.

Chang Geng had been working in the military aircraft department for more than a month, and it was rare for him to ask for half a day off to go back to receive her.

The first time when Gu Yun sent him a letter saying that he had found the rubbing version of the "Goddess Mystery" in Calais Yingzhuo, Chang Geng was really looking forward to it for a long time, like an old goblin who has been hiding in the world He heard how he felt when he could become a mortal, but after returning to Beijing, he prepared and planned like a storm, while walking a tightrope to deal with various political opponents, he really couldn't care about other things, until he met Chen Only then did Qingxu pick up the old thoughts.

Chen Qingxu never kept secrets. When she saw Chang Geng, she didn't say hello, but just said: "It can be cured."

Just these two words, enough to nail Chang Geng in place for a long time, until the breath held in his chest was exhausted, he spit it out slowly, and calmly pointed out: "The stubborn disease that has been deeply rooted not long after coming out of the mother's womb can also be cured. ?"

Chen Qingxu nodded: "Yes."

Chang Geng's hand, which was covered in the wide sleeve of the court uniform by his side, twitched violently, and his voice was still calm and compelling: "People say that the evil god merges two flesh and blood into one, so I was born as two people, why... Chen Can the girl be separated too?"

Chen Qingxu smiled in a rare way: "It will take a little longer, and His Highness may suffer a lot."

Chang Geng's heart hung in his throat: "That Zixi..."

Chen Qingxu: "There are relevant records in the Goddess Mystery Technique, but the medication system is different from ours. I still have a lot of things to verify here, and I have to wait for me to sort out the clues."

Chang Geng took a deep breath, his heart was beating so fast that his chest was about to burst, he forgot for a moment that this was Jinxi Hexi, turned around and wanted to go out, wishing he could let Gu Yun know immediately, but stopped abruptly after taking two steps , I slapped myself on the forehead, thinking: "I'm confused, I can't let him know, swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield, he feels relieved, what if something happens?"

But there was no place to share, so His Royal Highness Yan Wang secretly did something that made people blush. He settled Miss Chen, walked back to the Hou Mansion at night, and wrote a letter in Gu Yun's room, and then did not send it. After drying, it was pressed under Gu Yun's pillow.

This was still not satisfying, so he dug out all the letters written by Gu Yun that he had secretly treasured, laying on the bed and rehearsing all the words of that person in his head, entertaining himself and stitching together a Feng Gu Yun's "reply letter" performed a one-man show with gusto.

For the next few days, Chang Geng felt much pleasing to the eye when he saw Fang Qin during the day.

Unfortunately, Fang Qin's life is not very easy.

These days, the papers on Li Feng's desk to impeach King Yan are two feet thick. If you look carefully, you will feel that King Yan is easily blamed. Even if you cough on the road, someone will try to cheat the king Indiscriminately.However, in stark contrast, the upstarts from the Military Aircraft Department did not know whether they were dragged down by the affairs or simply hibernated. They changed their previous tit-for-tat and began to unilaterally give in.

Li Feng's attitude is that he has no attitude, especially when he encounters some people who rely on the old and sell the old to mention the first emperor or even the emperor Wu.

In this situation, Fang Qin was most anxious not the Military Aircraft Department, which was walking on thin ice.

Fang Qin was actually very opposed to this kind of swarming behavior: "The emperor is like a mirror in his heart, everyone, you are aggressive at this time, aren't you afraid of losing your sacred heart?"

At that time, someone replied: "Lord Fang opened his mouth and kept his mouth closed, his vision was limited. Thinking back then, the late emperor was just the son of an inconspicuous county prince in a side branch of the Li family clan. How could he enter the lord's palace so smoothly? Back then he supported it In the time of the late emperor, my family ancestors fought against all opinions and took the lead, what merit? The iron certificate of Dan Shu is still enshrined in my house, why, now that their descendants have secured the country for generations, they are going to hide all their bows?"

Another person said: "If we are really driven to a corner, why don't we simply invite the late emperor's spiritual seat, is it possible that the Son of Heaven dares to risk the displeasure of the world and ignore the laws of the ancestors?"

Fang Qin took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "My lords, please be careful!"

Everyone gave him face, and they were silent for a while, but their expressions were not very convincing.

The family members of Daliang have nothing to do with the official position of the head of the family. Their backgrounds are those who can confuse the family tree. Most of the ancestors have in-laws, and the powerful alliances. The ancestors are inseparable from the power disputes of the royal family. The teams are all on the right side, and as time goes by, there is a little illusion of "I think the emperor was supported by my family".

Normally, they thought that the Fang family had good looks and were willing to listen to him, but they really broke out. Although the Fang family was the head of the family, it was difficult to suppress anyone effectively-everyone was relatives, and no one was more noble than the other. Why, why should the Fang family be the masters of things that involve their heads and vital interests?

Fang Qin had no choice but to understand it with emotion and move it with reason: "The emperor is very happy, and he can't allow others to challenge Tianwei. The large-scale invasion by Westerners this time will inevitably remind him of the siege of the capital. Hesitation, now we must be determined to fight this battle, why do we bother to bring this kind of trouble with the reputation of harming the country and the people at this time? I also ask you to think about it in a different place!"

He sighed, then slowed down his voice and said, "If we can endure this moment, when the war is over and there is no war in the country, the Military Aircraft Department will inevitably face reorganization or abolishment. Those people may not be willing, and they will definitely take action. At that time, can't the emperor see that their hands are stretched too far? Everyone thinks about the drum beating order and financial order back then, and you will know what the Holy Majesty really planned in mind. It is just a matter of expediency to activate these untouchable merchants at this time Plan, when they are useless, will the Holy Majesty still protect them? I'm afraid that even Gu Yun's Black Iron Tiger Talisman will have to be handed back obediently, and the small military aircraft department can't keep covering the sky with one hand."

Fang Qin thought that he spoke earnestly, and analyzed it in detail.

However, not all the princes and nobles in the house will look forward to the future——the one who blatantly said that he has the iron coupon of the alchemy just now asked: "Master Fang has a reason and evidence, but it is too ideal. You said the war is over? Dare you?" Ask when will the war be over? It will be him in a year or two, and he will be in a year or 20. Is it possible that we all swallow our breath until the loess covers our heads?"

In fact, Fang Qin couldn't understand these mobs very much. A large number of these people were the country's big rats who had no achievements. The fundamental thing that brings these people together is profit, and no one cares about the great ideal of "serving the country and the people" every day.

"Let's not talk about being angry. If we fight for 20 years, all national power will be exhausted. If we don't talk about others, the emperor will not agree. It will never be so long." Fang Qin had to change his words and said, "I and Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, as King Yan, as long as he does not rebel, no one can put him to death, but based on your family background, as long as the emperor is in power for a day, as long as we do not mess up—who can say that? Can it move our foundation?"

This sentence sounds much more pleasing to the ear than "If you don't seek death, no one can kill you"-although it has the same meaning-it also scratched the itch of these officials. Fang Qin deserves to be the No. The group of people has dealt with for decades and is experienced.

Sure enough, under his running, the court became much more peaceful. The two factions seemed to have temporarily died down, and all the conflicts were transferred under the table. A few months of short-term peace ushered in Daliang.

For more than three months——

Then an accident happened that made Fang Qin waste all his previous efforts.
