Lingnan Gang

When Su Beiqin came to Wu Weiyang's study, Jiang Tianhe and Ji Baichuan had already arrived. The two of them had always been together, and it was rare for them to be alone. He was on the grand teacher's chair covered with a bearskin, with one foot resting on the small table, looking drowsy, while Yin Buzai squatted beside him happily teasing Texue.

Seeing Su Beiqin coming in, Jiang Tianhe just raised his eyes, Wu Weiyang rubbed his eyes, the sleepiness disappeared immediately, he waved to Su Beiqin and said: "Master is here, sit down quickly."

Although Su Beiqin's body has been recuperating well these days, his skin is still as white as the first snow in winter, only when he showed a slight smile did he finally gain a little popularity. After greeting the people present, he sat next to Wu Weiyang On the chair, the location of this study is not very good, it is in a place where the sun can't reach, even if the stove is lit, it still gives people a cold and damp feeling, especially when the draft blows through, the back of Su Beiqin's hands are numb. It provoked a layer of goosebumps.

Wu Weiyang told Yin Buzai to close the gate, and he warmed his hands and rubbed them on the back of Su Beiqin's hands carefully. Su Beiqin just heard that Si'er said that Wu Weiyang hurried over because he had something urgent to find. See you now Wu Weiyang looked calm, raised his eyelids, and said displeasedly, "What do you want from me?"

Hearing this, Wu Weiyang's eyes finally moved from Su Beiqin's clear joints to Su Beiqin's face, he scratched the back of his head, a slight dimple appeared at the corner of his mouth, "It's nothing important, I just want to tell you With a sound, the emperor has announced to the world the matter of ceding the city."

Su Beiqin couldn't help being stunned, and said in surprise, "So fast? It took only half a month..." He seemed to have thought of something, but his words stopped abruptly. Although Lord Luo is known as a general in Beijing, in fact The military power has already been taken over by Emperor Shunguang. Since Lord Luo can rely on his own informant to know about Emperor Shunguang's decision, then in the past half month, the news of the ceding of the city may have spread throughout the dignitaries. Therefore, Emperor Shunguang had no choice but to announce the news to the world early.

Wu Weiyang stretched out his hand to pick up the corner of Su Beiqin's mouth, but as soon as his hand left, the corner of his mouth hung down again. He curled his lips, retracted his hands into his sleeves, and said nonchalantly: "Don't be surprised, From the very beginning, it should have been expected that it would lead to such a situation. If this kind of thing could have been hidden for two or three months in peacetime, but now everyone from the officials to the common people is dissatisfied with Tang Zelin. Breaking through this layer of window paper is not only good for us, but also good for Turks."

Wu Weiyang's words made it clear that the prime minister deliberately spread this information. This treacherous prime minister took the benefits of the Turkic, and of course he had to do things well for the Turkic. Undoubtedly, it is worse, disputes are everywhere, and the Turks only need to raise their soldiers and horses, and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Su Beiqin sat upright, his fingers holding the arm of the chair had already turned white, and he asked with a gloomy expression, "What's happening over there, my lord?"

Wu Weiyang put his hands in his hands and pouted towards Yin Buzai, Yin Buzai's attention shifted away from Taxue, he coughed lightly and replied: "I just received a letter from the spies this morning, saying that the Lord is very angry, But no other action."

According to Wu Weiyang's identity, it is inconvenient for him to place an insider in the capital, and Yin Buzai has a clean identity, and he grew up in Beijing, so he is very familiar with the environment of the capital, so Yin Buzai is responsible for these things.

Wu Weiyang shook the little table with his toes, and said casually: "He is very suspicious. Except for a few generals guarding the border, he has already taken the military power of the other generals. They are eating, drinking and having fun in the capital all day long. Tang Zelin doesn't care. Once they said they wanted to lead troops into battle, Tang Zelin would reprimand them instead. Do you think there is anything more ridiculous than this in the world? If he was not afraid that his subordinates would take the opportunity to rebel if he left the palace, he would have gone to war with his own troops long ago. .”

Su Bei Qin heard the words, fell silent for a while, then turned to Yin Buzai and asked, "How are the reactions from various places?"

Yin Buzai couldn't bear to see Su Beiqin's suddenly pale face. He knew that Su Beiqin was not worried about the people above the court, but worried about the people who were about to be caught in the flames of war. However, this battle was inevitable. Su Beiqin knew this, so he chose to help Wu Weiyang. The world really needs a wise king, and Wu Weiyang is far superior to others in terms of reputation and talent.If before this, Tang Zelin had a little repentance and acted sincerely, Su Beiqin would not have been like this. Yin Buzai poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Su Beiqin, and replied: "Several rich people There has been no response from the local area, and some people have begun to gather troops in several places that were previously plagued by famine."

Su Beiqin softened his body and leaned back on the chair back. He breathed out, took a sip of hot tea, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. With a cold voice, "It's finally about to start." Su Beiqin murmured.

Wu Weiyang's long eyelashes, which were originally closed, trembled slightly, and he lazily turned his pupils to look at Su Beiqin, and said with a chuckle, "Master, please be safe, don't be impatient, I'm afraid it's not the time to send troops yet."

A ray of sunlight shone in through the window paper, and it just fell on half of Su Beiqin's face. The already soft facial features on that face brought a little warmth. He smiled slightly and said, "Of course I know. The old and the weak, women and children, there are at most [-] strong men in the uninhabited village, and this number cannot withstand a big battle."

Wu Weiyang looked at Su Beiqin for a while with his chin propped on one hand, but Su Beiqin's eyes never fell on him. He said sullenly: "Leave this matter to Tianhe and Baichuan. They were responsible when they followed me. You should be familiar with the matter of recruiting troops."

"I will definitely do what the boss ordered," Jiang Tianhe said. He had been paying attention to the focus of Wu Weiyang's gaze, which was on Su Beiqin from the beginning to the end. He suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said calmly: "Now What is the name of the recruiting? If we use the name of King Wei Wu, we will be able to expand our army to 3000 within a month."

Wu Weiyang forcibly hooked Su Beiqin's chin, making his dark pupils look at him, the sullenness in his heart disappeared instantly, and he asked with a playful smile as usual: "What do you think, Master?"

Su Beiqin thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I didn't mean to offend Brother Jiang, but this method is really inappropriate. Although the title of Wei Wuwang can indeed attract us a lot of people, if we openly fight Wei Wu Wang recruited troops under the banner, first of all, it would be very difficult for the officials in Qinzhou who were dissatisfied with the uninhabited village, and then according to the master’s suspicious temperament, he must be more afraid of Wei Yang than other rebels, if he knows that Wei Yang is going to raise troops , will inevitably send a large army to crusade, we have not had time to prepare in the future, how can the stragglers resist the elite troops?"

Wu Weiyang nodded and said: "Master is right. Putting Tang Zelin aside, the bandits in Yazhou and Qiongzhou are the closest to us. If they realize the threat and attack in one fell swoop, even if we don't lose, we will be very energetic. hurt."

Jiang Tianhe glared at Su Beiqin angrily, but found that Su Beiqin was unmoved at all, while he looked like a woman with a small stomach, and couldn't help but feel even more depressed, but he is a smart man, knowing that Wu Weiyang actually doesn't like to be impulsive The irritable person remained calm on the surface and said: "Then according to the boss's wishes, Baichuan and I will proceed cautiously and low-key about the recruitment. The brothers in Renzhai went to rescue the disaster and accumulated a lot of good reputation, I think the matter of conscription will not be too difficult."

What he said inside and outside the meaning showed that he was only following Wu Weiyang's orders, and had nothing to do with Su Beiqin. In fact, he gave Su Beiqin a disgrace, and Su Beiqin was not annoyed. Jiang Tianhe was Wu Weiyang's old subordinate. , Suddenly an outsider came and became his immediate boss, of course he was not happy in his heart, and it would definitely take a while to gain his trust.

Wu Weiyang raised his hand and said: "If there is nothing else, you can prepare now."

Jiang Tianhe nodded, got up and walked out, Ji Baichuan said goodbye to Su Beiqin politely, and then went to chase Jiang Tianhe, Jiang Tianhe just kept his head down and walked away, Ji Baichuan trotted for a while before catching up with him, saying: "Don't be angry. , I really think what the master said is reasonable."

Jiang Tianhe snorted coldly and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, what he said is indeed right. I didn't think about it before."

The corner of Ji Baichuan's mouth couldn't stop twitching, and he asked rather helplessly: "Then why are you so angry?"

Only then did Jiang Tianhe stop, and said in a resentful tone: "We have followed the boss for many years, and finally gained his trust. Why did Qin from the north of Jiangsu come to call the boss brother and brother for more than half a year? You must have noticed that the boss treats you like a brother." His attitude seems, seems to be trying to please him..."

Ji Baichuan sighed, patted his cheek dotingly and said: "Look at the brothers in this village, which one is not a man with a true temperament, and he is submissive in front of the master, and he can do it like this , It shows that he has his own advantages, so the boss will reuse him, but he is just a weak scholar, no matter what, he can't follow the boss to go to the battlefield in person, and it will not be us who will follow the boss through life and death?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tianhe felt the suffocation in his chest dissipate a little. Seeing that his face softened a little, Ji Baichuan said again: "Now is an emergency time, not a time for civil strife. Even if you are dissatisfied with the master, it is in private Don't delay the business because of this."

Jiang Tianhe pursed his lips, and said softly: "Of course I know the priorities."

Seeing Jiang Tianhe and Ji Baichuan walk away, Su Beiqin also stood up and said, "A new batch of supplies has arrived in the warehouse, I'm going to check."

Yin Buzai hastily stopped him and said, "I'll take care of this matter."

Su Beiqin gently pushed his hand away, with a gentle smile on his face, and said: "You have your business to be busy, if there is any new situation in various places, please trouble Brother Yin to let me know. I have always been in charge of things, or I should go on my own."

The tone was obviously soft, but it was extremely firm. Yin Buzai had no choice but to take a step back and open the door. The sun was already hidden behind the clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain. He couldn't help but reminded: "Mr. , you can leave things to Qin Han and the others to do."

"Thank you for your concern." Su Beiqin thanked him, and went out the door wiping Yin Buzai's shoulder.

Because of the cold winter weather, his left foot has been unable to walk swiftly. When he saw him, he heard Wu Weiyang shouting from behind: "I will go too."

Wu Weiyang followed after a few steps, wrapped his arms around his waist, let him lean slightly on his body, and walked with strength.

Su Bei Qin Feng turned his eyes, glanced at him and said, "Why are you so idle all day long with nothing to do?"

Wu Weiyang shrugged, pretending to be troubled, "Who will let me have a capable master?"

"What if I die?" Su Beiqin let out a breath of mist, his tone flat as if he was discussing the life and death of ants.

The hand around his waist tightened suddenly, and Su Beiqin was brought into Wu Weiyang's arms, and the tip of his nose hit Wu Weiyang's strong chest, which hurt a little, but Wu Weiyang's hand was too strong, and Su Beiqin couldn't help it. Bu put his hands on Wu Weiyang's chest, opened a distance, and then met Wu Weiyang's serious face that was different from the past. Although he was looking at him head-on, the tough aura exuded by Wu Weiyang made him want to continue to distance himself. The thought was suppressed.

"If you die," Wu Weiyang said without a word, "I will take your ashes and go straight to the capital, and let you see the world under my rule."
