Although there are rumors in the outside world that those people are mercenaries, it is because Yang Chendong is willing to spend a lot of money to hire them for use. But such a reason may be believed by others, but on Kuang Ye's body, he will not believe it no matter what.

Not for anything else, just because he once led soldiers and knows the importance of elite soldiers. At least in front of him, if there is such an elite soldier, he will not give it to others to use it anyway, even if the other party offers a high price.

Not to mention, with this elite soldier, what kind of money can't be earned? Why hire them?

I had such an idea at the beginning, but just because I was saved by others, it was naturally not good to blame it in front of me and behind my back. But as time went on, these elite mercenaries had been following Yang Chendong's side, and this suspicion became heavier and heavier.

What I just said was nothing more than a temptation and a certainty. But it's a pity that he didn't get a good result, which made him a little disappointed at the same time, he was also thinking, could this be because the other party was speechless, so he wanted to understate it?

When Kuang Ye was still thinking about this, Yang Chendong on the other side had already spoken, "Lord Kuang, don't you mind if I tell you a story." ”

"Oh? Be all ears. Kuang Ye didn't know what the other party meant, but out of politeness, he still smiled and agreed. In the present, with Yang Chendong's talent, it must be that ordinary stories should be quite exciting in his mouth.

Seeing Kuang Ye agree, Yang Chendong first smiled politely, and then said lightly with his lips open: "Once upon a time, there was a scholar who wanted to go to the street because he was too busy studying at home. Unexpectedly, he ran into a big man who was injured and fainted, out of kindness, he saved the other party, and found a doctor for treatment, not long after, the man recovered, and when he left, he said that he wanted to repay the favor. ”

When he said this, the corners of Yang Chendong's mouth were still slightly curled, giving people the feeling that he was recalling something interesting, but only he knew that he was laughing at the absurdity and nonsense of this story, all because this is indeed a story, a made-up story.

"Dahan said that he wanted to repay his kindness, of course the scholar didn't care, it was just a casual effort, and he didn't take it seriously. But who knew that soon after, the big man fulfilled his promise, not only sent a lot of gold and silver, but also sent many people to protect the scholar, and said that this scholar had a life-saving grace for him, so seeing the scholar was like seeing himself. ”

At this point in the story, Yang Chendong suddenly closed his mouth, and after a few breaths, he said: "From now on, this scholar will naturally be windy and rainy." Now that I think about it, what is it if God is not taking care of him? ”

The story was finally told, and Kuang Ye fell into silence.

From the beginning of the story, he thought of something, until the story was told, he finally understood that this so-called story was actually a fact, that scholar must be Yang Chendong, and the person he saved at the beginning must also be the leader of the mercenary.

In this way, everything makes sense. This is also the main reason why mercenaries can be used by Yang Chendong. But... Is this real? If the leader of the mercenary army was so powerful, how could he appear in front of Yang Chendong with an injured attitude? That seems a little unreasonable.

Even if today's words have been said to this point, of course Kuang Ye wants to ask a clear question, so he asked what he thought in his heart.

"That's a good question. At that time, the scholar was also a little puzzled, but it wasn't until from the mouths of those elite soldiers that he slowly learned that the big man who was originally rescued was plotted because he was robbing the boss's position, so he fled all the way to the city where the scholar was. Later, he recovered from his injuries and went back to get everything back, and it was as simple as that. ”

Yang Chendong spread his hands and looked at Kuang Ye with a smile. If he wants to tell a story, how can he not think about it well?

The story is not exciting, but it can be regarded as in the past, so that Kuang Ye doesn't know what to say at this moment. Do you want to continue questioning? But have they already explained it to you? If you ask it, you will be suspected of messing around.

Sure enough, without waiting for Kuang Ye to continue, Yang Chendong had already spoken: "Lord Kuang, don't hide it, I have never told others about this matter, and you are still the first, so if you can, I hope to keep it secret for me." ”

As soon as these words fell, Kuang Ye was completely speechless. People put on such a heart-to-heart appearance, and they have the grace to save their lives, what else can he ask? Anyway, he is also a person who has read books, so he doesn't even want a basic face.

At this moment, the only thing he could do was to nod his head and admit it, "Thank you for your courage to announce that it was the old man who was reckless." ”

"Hey, Lord Kuang, don't say that, people are curious, if it were a national public, maybe they would also ask, it's okay, it's okay, haha, drink tea, drink tea." Yang Chendong said with a laugh, putting on an empathetic appearance.

......

Outside the Changjia Annex.

Tong Qiao led people to surround this place with a fierce attitude, and then commanded his soldiers to start approaching step by step, looking at it, a big battle seemed inevitable to him, maybe it didn't take much, and it was possible that there would be corpses all over the field.

But just when everyone was nervous, the originally closed door of the Changjia Courtyard suddenly opened from the inside, and then a sturdy man appeared in front of everyone.

"Prepare to charge... Stop! Stop me! Tong Qiao, who was about to give orders, was originally ready to let the soldiers rush to kill, but when he saw the person who appeared, his mouth first opened into an O-shape, and then he shouted at his subordinates, as if he was afraid that one of them would suddenly attack if he didn't have long eyes.

The sudden call made the morale of the Ming soldiers stunned in place. At this time, Tong Qiao had already dismounted and trotted away, and when he ran to the gate in five steps and three steps, and saw that the person in front of him was indeed Guan Ying's foreign man, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "Master Guan." ”

"General Tong, what do you mean?" After Guan Ying clasped his fists and saluted, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the Ming soldiers who had appeared outside the gate in rows.

This question made Tong Qiao's face change greatly. I thought that there were bad people doing strange things here, and I had to ask the prefect of Hangzhou, thinking that it would have a relationship with the Chang family, it would be a good opportunity to fight the autumn breeze, and it would not be a trivial matter to ask for tens of thousands of taels of silver casually.

Unexpectedly, Guan Ying would appear here. Although this person said that his official rank was not as high as his own, the power he held was indeed very great, and he belonged to the kind of existence that could not be offended.

In particular, he had also heard that this Guan Ying was the proud protégé of Kuang Ye, the secretary of the current Ministry of War, and the guard was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.

"What's wrong? Is it hot? Why did General Tong sweat so much this time? Guan Ying's face was still very serious, so that when he said these words, he didn't seem to be concerned, but more like he was questioning something.

"This..."Tong Qiao's eyes rolled, knowing that it was a fool's move to conceal the truth at this time, so he immediately gritted his teeth and confessed Qi Bushen, "It's because the prefect of Hangzhou Qi said that there are thieves here, so he let this general lead troops into the city to clean up." ”

"Thieves? Did you disturb the neighbors? Do you want to occupy the city? Can it cause confusion? Guan Ying asked sentence after sentence. According to the regulations of the Ministry of War, if there are really thieves in the city and cause great chaos, the nearby guards and metropolitan guards have the right to mobilize troops into the city. On the other hand, even if the local officials asked for it, they were not allowed to enter the city without an order, which was originally a means of restraining the army and preventing them from doing anything out of the ordinary.

It was on this basis that Guan Ying asked these questions out loud.

Guan Ying was on business, Tong Qiao's face turned pale, and at this moment he could be said to hate Qi Bushen to death. If it weren't for the fact that he said that the matter was very serious, and that there was oil and water to be fished out of the matter of entering the city, after the matter was completed, he would have grabbed a few people casually and handed it over to the upper authorities and said that it was a mess, and he would not have had the courage to enter the city with his soldiers. It's good now, the benefits have not been reaped, but they have been caught by others, and it is conceivable that if things are not handled well, I am afraid that my official position is about to be lost. Although the official level of the person in front of him is not as good as his own, he is in charge of the assessment, if he doesn't figure things out, I'm afraid that after the people return to Beijing, it will be the time for him to be locked up and questioned.

If you do something wrong, you have to admit punishment, Tong Qiao is also a bachelor, and when he can't find enough reason, he lowers his head, "Master Guan, I acted recklessly, and I listened to others, I was wrong." ”

Tong Qiao admitted his mistake so neatly, a relieved smile flashed on Guan Ying's face, no matter what, knowing that mistakes can be corrected, is very good. "Let the soldiers all go back, General Tong and come in with me."

Thinking that he was going to negotiate the conditions with himself in private, Tong Qiao's eyes showed a glimmer of hope, and after quickly agreeing, he let the accompanying soldiers withdraw, leaving only two personal soldiers waiting outside. Still thinking about what conditions Tong Qiao would negotiate with him for a while, and whether he would agree to both, the two had already come to the pavilion in the courtyard of the house, and Tong Qiao, who was about to open his mouth to continue to admit his mistake, finally saw Kuang Ye sitting there in a long coat.

When he saw it at the beginning, Tong Qiao thought that he was dazzled, and wiped his eyes twice in a hurry, and when he recognized that the other party was indeed Kuang Ye, the secretary of the military department of the dynasty, the whole person was stunned. If only Guan Ying knows about his own troop transfer, it is better, although the other party's authority is not small, but after all, the official position is there, as long as the other party is given enough steps, there must be room for things to turn around, but if it is touched by the military department, then things will be different, people are in charge of their own officials, and the upper lip and lower lip are next to each other, I am afraid that his future will be completely finished.
