The guards of the Agni Death Camp were surrounded by the small and dilapidated county government tightly in the inner three layers and the outer three floors, but on the street outside, people rushed over from time to time, put down the things in their hands in front of these guards, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and then left silently. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The monkey walked out to the street, crouched down, and reached out to grasp one of the baskets of eggs that the woman had just delivered, and there was still a faint heat on it, probably just picked up from the hen's coop.

Everything is very ordinary, wild mushrooms, fungus, small pieces of dried bacon, chickens and ducks with legs and wings tied, and even wild vegetables that have just been picked at first glance, which are not worth much, but the eyes of the horse monkeys are a little moist.

There are still people rushing here, silently putting down their things, silently leaving, the horse monkey is speechless, his hands are clenched into fists, and he bows deeply to these people.

In a dark corner, a person leaned against the wall, also silently watching all this, like the horse monkey, his eyes were also a little moist, not only emotional, but also a little remorseful.

He is Wu Ling. After leaving during the day, he once randomly found a few people on the street and asked people what they thought of the Suncheon Army, and everyone had only one feeling, that is, hatred.

He also asked these people what they thought of General Wu Xin, when Wu Xin was an official in Changyang County, he was quite famous and well-known in the county, but now, the people who were asked, but those who knew Wu Xin, after a moment of silence, only replied to him with four words: for the tiger. Those who have read a little bit of the book will answer a little more politely, but it is not a good word either.

A beautiful woman, how can she be a thief!

Is this the definitive conclusion on General Wu Xin's coffin! Wu Ling wanted to cry a little, when they followed Wu Xin to raise troops, they had the dream of saving the people of Li from fire and water and returning the people to a peaceful world? Why, now, they only get hatred!

Looking at the people who came to the county government with worthless gifts, Wu Ling felt that he understood something.

The people are never tools! Whether it is Mo Luo or General Wu Xin, their original intentions are undoubtedly good, but in the process of doing things, they treat these people as tools in their hands.

In order to achieve the final goal, if the tools in their hands are damaged, in their opinion, this is a normal thing, and it is also a natural thing.

There is always a need for sacrifice.

He remembered what Qin Feng had asked him rhetorically.

"There is always someone who needs to be sacrificed, but you have asked those who need to be sacrificed, are they willing to sacrifice?"

Oh, yes! Are they willing to sacrifice?

Wu Ling took a deep breath, looked up at Haoyue in the sky, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears that came out of his eyes, strode out of the dark corner, and strode towards the county office.

"Who? Stop! Several guards on the periphery could feel the difference between this person and the people who had given gifts before, and as soon as Wu Ling approached, he had already surrounded him.

"I'm Wu Ling, I want to see the emperor!" Wu Ling said loudly.

In the county office, next to an oil lamp, Ma Xiangnan was reporting to Qin Feng on a series of administrative measures and the results achieved in Changyang County during this time.

Changyang County is still very poor, but in Ma Xiangnan's eyes, this ruined mountain and river is slowly recovering its vitality, and the flames of hope are burning on this land.

"Your Majesty, give me another three years, and I can make Changyang County's income not lose to Zhengyang, and become another major source of taxes for the imperial court." Ma Xiangnan waved his thin arms and a gray goatee, and spoke confidently.

"What? Are you going to stop picking after three years? Qin Feng said with a smile.

Ma Xiangnan also laughed, "Of course not." As long as His Majesty thinks that the old minister still has some ability, the minister is willing to die on this river and mountain. ”

"Changyang County is also at the forefront of the country in terms of the reform of government administration and the issuance of new currency." Qin Feng said with admiration: "I passed through a small remote village before, and an old man who has not seen much of the world actually knows and uses new coins, which is very rare." ”

"Speaking of which, it's really a blessing to Tomolo." Ma Xiangnan sighed: "A fire, regardless of the good and the bad, burned Changyang County to pieces, and it is almost a piece of white cloth, and it is easy to paint on the white cloth!" If it weren't for their indiscriminate slashing and killing, a person like Wu Xing, who is not outstanding in talent but does things in a down-to-earth manner, would never have thought of becoming an official, he would have been a general among the dwarves. Don't expect them to give you any ideas, but be faithful to every command. ”

"Master Ma, how can you expect every official to be the kind of person who can pioneer and innovate and find their own solutions to problems? It's good to have such officials, but don't have too many, otherwise everyone will have an idea, and they won't be able to do things well. An official like Wu Xing, although he is not creative, can carry out those creative ideas to the end, such an official is already very exemplary! Qin Feng said with a smile: "Like Changyang County now, your Lord Ma has an idea, and the officials below are all trying to try to put your idea in place, isn't it good?" ”

"Your Majesty, in the current situation, of course it is good, but I can't be this county guard for the rest of my life, right? If I'm gone and die, won't they have no idea? Or if I get out of the way and have a bad idea, but no one points it out, and they will carry through these wrong ideas to the end, then it will be a big deal. "Horse to the south.

Qin Feng laughed: "It's unfounded, Lord Ma, and I am staring at you, besides, there are talented people in the country, look at the schools that are now full of Lang Lang books in Changyang County, Lord Ma, are you still afraid that there will be no talents in the future?" ”

"How many years is that?" Ma Xiangnan smiled bitterly. "The lower officials have to find a way to get more people in, Your Majesty, when the time comes, the lower officials have taken a fancy to some officials, can you not let them go!"

"Okay, okay, I've put my words here today, whoever you fancy will bring you whomever I like, if you dare not come, tie it up." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Then it's not interesting, it's good if you love me, the twisted melon is not sweet." Ma Xiangnan shook his head repeatedly.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Grandpa Le walked in lightly, "Your Majesty, Commander Ma said that Wu Ling is back and wants to see you!" ”

"Wu Ling!" Ma Xiangnan said angrily: "Doesn't this bastard think he has created many evils? Your Majesty was lenient and let him go, but he dared to come back. ”

Qin Feng waved his hand: "Master Ma, this Wu Ling is a capable person, a very good general, I still have a place for him, otherwise, I wouldn't have made so much effort to bring him back to Changyang." ”

"And you let him go earlier?" Ma Xiangnan's eyes widened and he asked puzzled.

"As you just said, the twisted melon is not sweet, and I want him to be willing, so I have to take the risk. But it looks like I've won the bet, isn't that coming back? Father-in-law Le, let Wu Ling in. Qin Feng said with a smile.

Wu Ling, who strode in, knelt down in front of Qin Feng without saying a word under Ma Xiangnan's vigilant eyes, this time, Qin Feng did not let him get up, but stared at him with a serious face.

"Figured it out?" Qin Feng asked.

Wu Ling nodded.

"Figured out what?" Qin Feng asked.

"After I left Your Majesty today, I thought a lot and asked a lot of people, without exception, they only have hatred for the Shuntian Army, for General Wu Xin, and for people like me, they only hate. I'm wondering why? Aren't we here to give them a better life? It wasn't until I saw that the most ordinary people silently brought you gifts that I finally figured out what it was for. I was wrong, and so was General Wu Xin. We may have good intentions, but we have done bad things, so that the people of Changyang County have suffered great sacrifices, if it were not for General Wu, if it were not for the support of our people for Mo Luo at the beginning, Mo Luo would not have been able to do it quickly. So I came back, I wanted to do something to atone for our previous mistakes! "Wu Ling Road.

"If only you could figure it out!" Qin Feng stood up and helped up Wu Ling, who was kneeling on the ground: "Wu Xin is a good general, but a powerful general, if he follows the wrong person and goes the wrong way, then the damage he brings is far greater than the harm brought by a mediocre general." It's a good thing that you cherish the old Lord, but you can't forget the righteousness with small kindness. Mo Luo is dead, Wu Xin is also dead, but they have left endless infamy in the world, but you are still alive, I hope you can use the rest of your life to do something for the people, not only to atone for your past, but also to atone for their sins, or because of your efforts, the infamy they left behind will gradually fade in the memory of the people. ”

"Wu Ling is willing. But Wu Ling is just a reckless man, and he has nothing to do except lead the army to fight. "Wu Ling Road.

"After the defeat of the Shuntian army, you led a group of remnants of the defeated army, and you can hold out in the mountains for several years, so it is needless to say that you can do it, and what I fancy is your ability to fight in the mountains." Qin Feng Dao.

"Later, he was defeated at the hands of His Majesty." Wu Ling was a little embarrassed.

"No, no, no!" Qin Feng waved his hand: "There is no logistics, no supplies, I can hold on for such a long time, even if I don't have this ability, I don't have this ability." But I think that if you become the general of the Ming Dynasty, it will be different, the Ming Dynasty can provide you with the best logistics, the best weapons, and the best soldiers, so that you can display your skills in the mountains. ”

"Your Majesty is because of the barbarians?" When it came to military issues, Wu Ling's mind immediately sharpened.

"Of course, the problem of the barbarians has to be solved after all, but I don't want to leave a hidden danger again like before, I want to solve this problem completely, Wu Ling, you know why I need you now, right?" Qin Feng looked at him with blazing eyes.
