Chapter 249: Shu Hui's long-cherished wish
On the border between Feng County and Deng County, there is a famous scenic spot, Dengxian Lake. Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there were two enlightened people who soared in the sky in full view of everyone, and Dengxian Lake got its name. In the past, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit here, some wanted to explore the mysteries of the immortals, some wanted to come to dip in the fairy spirit, and more of them were purely to join in the fun, but it created the prosperity of this small lake surrounded by mountains. However, since the outbreak of the war, this place has suddenly decayed, and the things of the immortals are no longer attractive, and it is always not as important as their own lives, and this is now the border between the two countries, the border of soldiers and bandits, and when they come, they may not be able to leave.
But today, Dengxian Lake, which has been silent for a long time, is lively again, and the observation hall that was originally full of dust and dead branches and leaves everywhere has also been cleaned up, and there are more people all of a sudden.
However, these people are not ordinary tourists, but military personnel one after another. The soldiers with weapons in their hands and solemn faces were separated by dozens of meters along the embankment of the lake.
"What a place!" Shu Hui put his hands behind his back, looking at this small lake surrounded by mountains, the spring sun shines warmly on the lake, there is a faint mist on the surface of the lake, adding a bit of mystery, the surrounding green mountains are above the lake, clearly reflecting the whole picture, not hearing human voices, only the empty valley birdsong. "You shouldn't have brought these soldiers with you today, you spoil the scenery."
"Your Excellency's status is noble, and now this is a place of right and wrong, and the last general will not dare to take risks." Liang Da replied respectfully.
Shu Hui smiled, behind him, how could he need the protection of these ordinary soldiers? There is really any danger, these people will only become a burden to themselves, of course, this is a means for Liang Da to show loyalty and enthusiasm, as an official figure, even if he knows that this is just a scene, he must pretend to accept it happily.
"Dengxian Lake, now I am a little sure, or many years ago, there was really such a figure flying here, such a beautiful scene, in Chang'an City, how can I see it?" Shu Hui stretched out his arms and took a deep breath.
"If you like it, you will build a courtyard here for your lords, and when you are idle, you can come and stay for a few days." Liang Da volunteered.
Shu Hui laughed, "Build a courtyard to sit in? General Liang, it seems that you have a lot of money in your pocket! Liang Da was in a cold sweat when he said this, but then Shu Hui changed his mind again, "This kind of natural beauty, if you add some man-made buildings to it, it will inevitably damage the feng shui and pollute the vision, in fact, in my opinion, this viewing pavilion is completely unnecessary." ”
"I'll shoot him down when I turn around!" Liang Da said immediately.
"Don't don't, General Liang, I just feel it, look at this pavilion, it's been a year, I'm afraid that now it has become a part of this beautiful scenery, since it has been built, there is no need to destroy it again." Shu Hui waved his hand and said: "General Liang, I heard that you have always wanted to turn into a field army, and since you were stationed in Dengxian, you have sent a lot of silver coins up, right?" The result? ”
Liang Da was completely confused, Shu Huidong said, West sentence, the previous sentence was still sighing about this scenic spot, and the next sentence hit his own vital point, he really wanted to turn into a field army, from the county soldier to the field army, this is not an easy thing, but as long as he is promoted, whether it is equipment, the number of personnel, or his own authority, there will be a big jump, like Tang Qiang, who came to Dengxian County to support this time, his position is two levels lower than himself, but in front of himself, he is completely commanding. is full of looks down on himself, and he has nothing to say, this is the gap.
There was nothing to be done before, but now he is stationed in Dengxian County, which is at the border with Yueguo, and Liang Da, who feels that the opportunity has come, has a lot of money, but there has been no news, until the last time the old lady Liu in Shayang sent 100,000 taels of silver, he gritted his teeth, and took half of it to honor the members of the military department, which can be regarded as having a little eyebrows, but this matter is an extremely secret matter, but how to let the person in front of him know.
Looking at Liang Da who was sweating like rain, Shu Hui smiled faintly, "This official teacher has always been in charge of the shadow, since the last time I went hand in hand with Wei Zhuang, this shadow has been handed over to this official to take care of, and some things, even if I don't want to know, will be sent to my desk." ”
"The last general, the last general is guilty!" As soon as Liang Da's knees were weak, he wanted to kneel, bribes, the boss didn't want to check you, you didn't have anything, if the boss wanted to check you, even if you only sent a needle and thread, it could rise to the height of politics.
Shu Hui stretched out his hand and waved, and a soft strength lifted Liang Da up, making him unable to kneel even if he wanted to, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, Shu Hui is the prince's personal disciple and has a noble status, but Liang Da, as an eighth-level peak martial arts master, felt irresistible by this brush, and then he understood that the person in front of him was not just relying on the power of the prince.
"Fifty thousand taels of silver, not a small amount, it seems that you have gained a lot in Dengxian County." Shu Hui ignored Liang Da who was already crumbling, and said to himself: "But you found the wrong person, the one you sent the money to, I'm afraid I will forget about it a long time ago." ”
"I ...... I ......" Liang Da stammered for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.
Shu Hui looked at the other party and suddenly smiled: "Why don't you beg me?" Maybe my words will make your wish come true. ”
Liang Da couldn't hold back any longer, and knelt down again with a porphyr, but this time, Shu Hui didn't stop him, turned his head to look at the other party, sat down slowly, and stared at Liang Da intently.
"The last general, the last general is willing to serve the adults and horses!" He said in a trembling voice.
Shu Hui nodded, turned his head to look at the calm mirror-like lake, "I am an orphan, I have been adopted by the master since I was a child, I never knew who my parents were, in this world, I was alone, I used to be covered by the master, but I also ran rampant, but now the master and Wei Zhuang have closed the dead pass, I don't know when I can come out, or I can never come out." At this moment, I felt that people's hearts are unpredictable, and the world is unpredictable! Master, there are only two things in his old man's life, one is that Daqi dominates the world, and the other is that martial arts cultivation is to a higher level, and now Daqi is about to dominate the world, he is obsessed with martial arts, this time he took advantage of the situation to catch Weizhuang's coolies, and the two of them went together to visit the things left by Emperor Li Qing back then, not successful, can't come out, succeed, and won't come out, my biggest backer is gone. ”
"Daqi, there are many families, many of them are wealthy families that have not been passed down from the Tang Dynasty, for people like me, even if I am now in a high position and trusted by the emperor, I can't enter that circle, do you know why? Heritage! Those people look down on me! When I was an upstart. Indeed, a person like me, who is in charge of an institution like the shadows, I am not His Royal Highness the Master, maybe one day, I will disappear between heaven and earth without a trace. Hehe, I'm not reconciled, a wealthy family is not born, going back hundreds of years, how many are left of the wealthy family in Daqi now? Why can't I be one of them? ”
Liang Da, who was kneeling on the ground, listened to it in a cold sweat.
"Liang Da, you have thought clearly, if you really want to follow me, then from now on, you can breathe with me and share the same fate, I am prosperous, you are prosperous, I am defeated, and you die!" Shu Hui looked at Liang Da coldly.
Liang Da lowered his head, and in an instant, the bluestone slab ground in front of him was already dripping with sweat, and he struggled for a moment, and raised his head suddenly: "My lord, wealth and wealth are in danger, Liang Da is also from a poor family, and he struggled to get to the position of the commander of the county soldiers, whether he is diligent in political affairs, or bribes and begs for people, no one pays attention to me anymore, it is rare for adults to give me this opportunity, of course I will hold it firmly." Liang Da said: "I am willing to breathe with adults and share fate." ”
Shu Hui laughed, "These words are true, it is much better than what is willing to serve dogs and horses, and I can't listen to these vain words, Liang Da, the wealth of the wealthy family is wealth, and the second is power." I am in charge of the shadows, my position is sensitive, although I have to trust, but I also have to give up a lot of things, since you are willing to walk on this road with me, I will naturally create a lot of convenience for you, first of all, it is for you to be promoted to the field army, this time, the matter of Fengxian is an opportunity. ”
"Thank you, sir." Liang Da was overjoyed, what he begged for but couldn't get was just a sentence in Shu Hui's mouth, thinking that the previous 50,000 taels of silver was really fed to the dog.
"Get up!" Stretching out his hand to help Liang Da, Shu Hui said with a smile: "Dengxian is a good place, and Yueguo is a good place, you are stationed here, there is a lot to do." ”
"It's all up to the support of adults." Liang Da said continuously.
"No, I can only help you get on the horse, but how to walk the back road can only depend on yourself. I can upgrade you to a field army, but I can't get you a regular field army, the only thing I can do is Tang Qiang's army, and I will stay for you. ”
"Is Tang Qiang going to stay too?" Liang Da was taken aback.
Shu Hui shook his head, "Of course this person can't stay, if he stays, you will become an empty shelf." This person's background is not simple, he, he was also sent by someone above, and he originally wanted to make some achievements in this Shayang County incident, but now that he is doing this, he has nothing to gain, but it is cheap for you. ”
"What's next for the last general?" Liang Da asked cautiously, from Shu Hui's mouth, he could hear that Shu Hui meant wealth, and what he liked was the place where he was stationed now, and he could easily grab wealth from Yue Guo.
"Specifically, we want to see how the negotiations with the other side are going this time?" Shu Hui frowned, "Or, we can cooperate." ”
"Working with a gang of bandits?" Liang Da asked in surprise.
"Don't think of them as bandits." Shu Hui shook his head and said, "Look at the other party's behavior, where does it look like a gang of bandits?" (To be continued.) )
