King's Landing [Rebirth]

In late March, Yan Xu, the lord of Jincheng, died of illness, and his daughter Yan Qingqing became the new lord of Jincheng.In the same month, the State of Min led [-] troops to attack Jincheng, destroying two counties in a row.At the beginning of April, Chen Wenyan, who was a guest in Jincheng, was asked by Yan Qingqing to lead his troops to the battle. He wiped out all the Fujian troops on Dashishan with four times the force, and fought a beautiful battle with fewer victories. The four of them failed the conspiracy of Fujian to invade Jincheng.

Min Guo and Qiu Tong live next to each other, but they have gradually become restless over the years, and even let the spirit flow into Qiu Tong again.Yan Qingqing wrote to ask the emperor to relax Jincheng's right to garrison troops, and let her build a powerful army to deter Fujian in the counties and counties that were burned by the state of Fujian.Yan Qingqing's request was opposed by many ministers in the city, and Li Yu did not immediately agree to it.

Chen Wenyan, who played a decisive role in Jincheng's battle against Fujian, was ordered to enter the palace and was named a captain by the emperor, but he himself refused in court, saying that he was entrusted by Yan Qingqing and was too angry to accept the order Leading troops, I have no interest in becoming an official in the court, so I ask the emperor to take it back.Chen Rushen also wrote a letter saying that he was irritable and embarrassed, and declined the emperor's love for him.

Li Yu did not force Chen Wenyan, but only asked whether he made the battle plan alone or with the help of others, Chen Wenyan replied that he and Yan Qingqing conspired, and did not mention Liang Jian and Jiang Shengxue.

In May of the same year, Yan Qingqing's request was approved by Li Yu, and Jincheng got the right to garrison troops, becoming the fourth garrison station in Qiutong.

At the same time, Liang Jian, who was purging corrupt officials in Hongye City, received two letters. One was written by Yan Qingqing, which mentioned that the original transaction was still valid. In Liang Jian's hand.Yan Qingqing handed over the power of managing the army to Liang Jian, and Liang Jian could arrange all the generals in the army.

This is Yan Qingqing's greatest sincerity and what Liang Jian is waiting for.Generally speaking, it did not exceed Liang Jian's expectations. Yan Qingqing was a smart girl, and she always had been.

Jiang Shengxue was still traveling in Jincheng. Due to the spread of spirit magic, there were many people in Jincheng who needed her help. Liang Jian respected her choice and did not ask her to come back.

"I don't know if Yang Junning is interested in Jincheng." Liang Jian collected Yan Qingqing's letter, and sent someone to bring a message to Yang Junning, asking her to come to the house to explain.

After arranging these things, Liang Jian opened another letter, which was not signed or even marked.There was only one sentence on it, a sentence that shocked Liang Jian into a cold sweat.

"Is Jincheng fun?"

The tone of the letter writer is very relaxed and loose, and the handwriting is very steady. It can be seen that he is in a good mood when writing the letter.

Liang Jian recognized the handwriting, it was Li Yu's handwriting.Li Yu knew that he went to Jincheng, so he must also know that he was behind the command of that battle, not Chen Wenyan. No wonder he didn't agree to Yan Qingqing's request to garrison troops at first.

"I still underestimate him."

Liang Jian squeezed the letter into a ball with a serious expression.He has been looking at Li Yu from the perspective of his previous life, but he forgot that this person is not an idiot to ascend the throne, this letter is his warning to himself.How much does he know?Liang Jian pinched the ball of paper and fell into deep thought.The fact that he went to Jincheng was still a secret, and he didn't reveal his identity along the way. He was an unfamiliar face, no matter whether he was in the court or in the rivers and lakes.Even if someone said that there was a person like him, it would be impossible to accurately describe his identity.

He and Li Yu are now allies. With Li Yu's control over him, knowing that he has lied to him, he will definitely be dissatisfied.

Liang Jian couldn't fall out with Li Yu yet, so he thought about unpacking the ball of paper in his hand, and wrote a reply letter to Li Yu.In his letter, he briefly mentioned that Jincheng and Qingxi County were eroded by Linghuansan, and he didn't want to work hard to cause more turmoil, so he concealed his role in it.Liang Jian's words were half true and half false, whether he believed it or not was Li Yu's own business.

In mid-May, with the help of Liang Jian, Yang Junning changed his identity and entered Jincheng, and got in touch with Jiang Shengxue in Jincheng. Jiang Shengxue introduced her to Yan Qingqing as an army instructor to help train the army.So far, the three girls Jiang Shengxue, Yan Qingqing and Yang Junning have started their different growth in Jincheng.

On the other hand, Liang Jian continued to rectify the interior of Hongye City, killing dozens of corrupt officials, and changing the officials of Hongye City.Without Mei Zhenghan and Jiang Shengxue by his side, Liang Jian's way of handling things became more bloody and direct, and his person gradually overlapped with his previous self, starting a new path in the rain of blood.

In addition to Hongye City, Jiangnan has also experienced many changes. Feiyu City and Jiangcheng have experienced several turbulences successively.The city lords of the other two cities in the south of the Yangtze River did not intervene in this matter, but some people found that black crows appeared more and more frequently.They are like the Nightbringers, with rivers of blood flowing in their path.

In these turbulent chaos, the atmosphere in Wangcheng is not so good.The alliance between Li Yu and Liang Jian is still valid. With the help of the pawns placed in the harem and the help of Xian Qiu, Liang Jian knows the situation in the royal city like the palm of his hand.He used Li Yu to carry out a reform of the civil servants and generals in the court, setting up two positions of left prime minister and right prime minister, and established six ministries to disperse the power in the hands of the former officials.

This reform was resisted by many officials headed by Fu Kun, and even the city lord disapproved. Li Yu was furious because of this, and executed several officials who spoke fiercely.In the end, Chen Ru, the veteran of the three dynasties, went deep into the royal city to lobby, and both sides took a step back, only setting the position of prime minister, and the rest of the reforms were left alone.

Liang Jian was not disappointed with this result. He asked Li Yu to raise it just as a springboard, so that the people below would have a bottom line. The real implementation would be after Li Yu stepped down.And this proposal was not completely useless, it deepened the conflict between Li Yu and Fu Kun's faction. Fu Yun was an official in the palace and was suppressed by Tang Wanyi everywhere, so he couldn't help the Fu family too much.

And because Liang Jian arranged the chess pieces earlier, the situation in the harem was also a tug-of-war, and they couldn't get much benefit.

Liang Jian used his previous life experience to obtain more useful conditions for himself in a very short period of time, and also managed Hongye City like an iron bucket, making it more peaceful in the troubled times.

Time passes in busyness, spring goes to winter, and one year and six months pass by.

For more than a year, Qiu Tong's power has been in turmoil, the city lords are fighting each other, and the court is also full of smog.

The surrounding countries are watching and harassing the surrounding area constantly. Beidi is guarded by the Mu family army and dare not make too much attack, but there are many small actions.The same is true for Fujian. The failure of the Linghuan San incident made them dormant for a while, but they soon started to act again.

This time, I plan to start from the Gu Master, to test the strength of the Gu Master in Western Yunnan.

When Liang Jian received the news, she directly handed over the matter to Jiang Shengxue. She had used Jiang Yi's reputation to win over a group of Gu Masters at the Gu Master Conference earlier, and now she is able to handle it alone.

When Jiang Shengxue received the news, she happily took Wen Yao there, but unexpectedly something went wrong.

The new year's Gu Master Conference is still in Hongye City, and it is in Qiao County.According to Liang Jian's instructions, Jiang Shengxue intentionally concealed her clumsiness at the conference, and only instructed a few Gu masters to intimidate the other party. It seemed that she had a tie with the people of Fujian, but she had the upper hand, making them confused and afraid to act rashly.

Things were handled very well, and those people from Fujian also left Qiao County after the meeting.Jiang Shengxue went back to Jincheng to visit her parents' tombs, but there was no news after that trip, and Wen Yao, who was with her, also disappeared.Jiang Shengxue didn't want too many people to disturb Jiang Yi, so he only brought Wen Yao along and kept the hidden guards away.It was too late when the dark guards found out that something was wrong, there was no trace of fighting at the scene, not even their cries for help.

The two living people seemed to disappear out of thin air without leaving any clues.

Liang Jian rushed to Qiao County after receiving the news, and secretly contacted Zhang Duo who had been active around Fujian since he recovered from his injury.Wen Yao's skills are not bad, and Jiang Shengxue has also learned a few hidden weapon kung fu from Yang Junning in the past year to protect herself. She has a hidden weapon tailored for her by Zhang Duo, which is enough to catch the enemy by surprise.

Being able to take someone away without the two of them responding, no matter what the other party's background is, there is no doubt about his strength.

After Jiang Shengxue and Wen Yao disappeared, the secret guard revealed his identity and asked the magistrate of Qiao County to help find them.But they have been busy for several days and there is still no news. As soon as Liang Jian came, they all pleaded guilty.Liang Jian didn't have time to deal with them now, finding talents was the most important thing, so he sent them out to look for them.

The county magistrate of Qiao County was single-handedly picked up by Xu Ze. He is an honest person. He was already terrified when encountering such a thing, and Liang Jian's presence in person made him feel even more pressured.

Liang Jian asked about the situation of some Gu masters in Fujian after the dissolution of the Gu master conference. The county magistrate told him that those people left in a hurry and didn't stay at all, so it was impossible to attack Jiang Shengxue.

If it's not a Gu master from Fujian, who could it be?

"Have any strange faces appeared in Qiao County before and after the Gu Master Conference?"

Liang Jian didn't wait to die in the county government, but went to Jiang Yi's grave to check in person.The county magistrate didn't dare to neglect him, so he went with him.

There was nothing unusual about the cemetery. It was a sunny hillside, and there was only one way down the hill. The rest of the place was full of jagged rocks. It would be difficult for people to get out of it, let alone take two hostages with them.

The county magistrate was a literati, he was panting all the way up, and said: "I have had someone check it out, and only one caravan entered Qiao County on the eve of the Gu Masters Conference, but because they didn't stay for too long, the Gu Masters Conference is not over yet. We just left, we didn't care."

"What kind of caravan?" Liang Jian asked.

"Businessmen who deal in mountain products seem to enter the county because someone in their team is sick and needs medicinal materials. The soldiers guarding the city gate also checked. Indeed, one person was injured. He was sitting in the carriage and refused to see others. It smells like fishy water, which is particularly unpleasant."

"The smell of water?" Liang Jian thought about it for a moment, and said with a serious expression, "Did the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city see them when they left? Are the injured people there?"

The county magistrate froze for a moment, thought for a while and said, "It seems not, because the smell of water lingers for a long time, so the officers and soldiers are saved..."

The county magistrate said that he had already realized that there was something wrong with the caravan, and the so-called injured person sitting in the carriage was probably just a cover.

"But...but how did he take the second lady away?" The county magistrate was sweating profusely and stuttered.

Liang Jian didn't answer him, but turned his gaze to the grass beside the mountain road.After a few ups and downs, they flew to a big rock closest to the cemetery. There was a leeward area that could accommodate people under the huge rock. The grass underneath was trampled and leveled. Obviously, someone had stayed here for a long time.

Not only that, there are some crushed vegetation near the grass, and the trace looks like a huge snake crawling over it.

Reminiscent of the smell of water that the county magistrate just said, Liang Jian's thoughts cleared up. He already knew how Jiang Shengxue and Wen Yao disappeared, and the people who kidnapped them probably had some extraordinary background.

Taking the magistrate back to the county government, Liang Jian summoned all the people he sent out before, so that they don't have to waste their efforts. Jiang Shengxue and Wen Yao are no longer in Qiu Tong's country.

The caravan that entered Qiao County in the past was not really covering the so-called injured person, but the snake that the person brought with him. The source of the fishy smell was not the person, but the snake.

It is not surprising that the Gu masters in Fujian can manipulate some strange things, but judging from the traces of the scene inspected by Liang Jian, the snake shape this person brought is somewhat beyond common sense.

"My lord, someone outside claims to be your friend and wants to see you."

Just when Liang Jian's thoughts fell into a blind spot, officers and soldiers from the county government came in to report.As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a figure beside him.The person who was waiting for him to come in to report at the door just now was already beside him, strode into the room without saluting, sat directly beside Liang Jian and took a sip of herbal tea, and said, "Liang Jian, do you know The ruler of Fujian came to Qiao County two days ago."

Liang Jian glanced at him up and down, and said, "Now I know."

Zhang Duo breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Liang Jian was not surprised, he hesitated and said, "Then did you also guess that Jiang Shengxue and Wen Yao were there?"

Liang Jian nodded, if that person was the ruler of Fujian, then all this would make sense.The royal family of Fujian has a long history. The god they believe in is the snake. It is said that every king of the country has a snake accompanying him.

"The majestic lord of a country came to my territory to rob people, I should really meet him."
