"Phew!"

Several horses stopped in front of a large monument about a foot high that had been erected outside the castle of Izumo County, and the white jade tablet was covered with red handwriting, and from a distance, it seemed that a layer of blood was floating on this stone tablet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info engraved on the tablet, is the Izumo County over the years of the great harm caused by the bandits, all kinds of old things, and behind, is the Ming Empire beheaded nearly 2,000 bandits at one time, and the final payment, beyond the expectations of the knights.

Because the payment is Min Ruoxi.

Ordinary people may not know who Min Ruoxi is, but he knows that this is the queen of the Ming Empire.

"Men are heroes, and women are women!" He took a deep breath and rode toward the city.

His name is Deng Fang and he is from the Qin State.

Not long after Deng Fang entered the city, several horses appeared under the stele, looking up at the inscription, "Sure enough, it is still the Jiying Hall Master who kills and breaks off in my image, and only Princess Zhaohua of Dachu has such courage." ”

He is Yang Qing and is from the State of Chu. After breaking up with Wuyi in a rage, he only led a few henchmen, bypassed the defense of the Qi army, and went straight to the county of Chuyun. Halfway through, the shocking news has come that the two major bandits besieged the Ming Empire's army, but they were all annihilated, and the two bandit leaders were captured alive.

Yang Qing, who got the news, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that his head and melon seeds had grown strong again on his neck, since the princess was fine, then this trip could be regarded as a publicly-funded tour. Now that he has entered Izumo County, Yang Qing simply decided to go directly to see Princess Zhaohua, which can be regarded as a manifestation of his dedication.

The queen mother and the emperor are very fond of Princess Zhaohua, and their performance is more prominent, so naturally those two will be happier.

It wasn't until he approached Izumo County that he learned that Izumo County had beheaded more than 2,000 bandits at one time, Yang Qing was speechless, but also sweated for Min Ruoxi.

And what he didn't expect was that Min Ruoxi didn't let Geng Qiancheng carry this black pot on his back, as soon as this monument was erected, this name was signed, but it was Zhao who relied on the world, and this matter was ordered by me Min Ruoxi.

In the backyard of the county guard yamen, He Rentu looked at Min Ruoxi on the opposite side of the chessboard, and said with a smile while knocking on the chess pieces in his hand: "In this way, I'm afraid that my reputation as a person will be lost, or I should change my name, and in the future, the name of this person will probably fall on your head." ”

Min Ruoxi smiled and supported her chin with her hand, "Min Ren Tu?" Sounds like a good one, too. ”

The two of them acted as if they had nothing to do, but Geng Qiancheng on the side was happy and surprised, happy that this monument was erected, and all the pressure was naturally carried by the queen mother, which would not affect her reputation, but I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor would blame in this way, you know, His Majesty the Emperor entered the capital of Yuejing, but he killed very few people and won the name of Kuanren.

"Niangniang, the minister still thinks that Niangniang's signature is inappropriate!" He said with a sad face: "This matter is up to the minister, how can you let the mother ruin her reputation." ”

Min Ruoxi smiled, "Is this considered a bad reputation?" I don't think, Master Geng, you don't need to think about Doro, even if I have a bad reputation, what can I do? Didn't the sage say that only women and villains are difficult to raise? I'm a woman, I don't need you to carry this pot. You are an official, and your reputation is extremely important, I just care, our family already has a generous and benevolent emperor, and there should be a ruthless queen to complement each other! ”

Hearing this, Geng Qiancheng couldn't help but feel ashamed.

He Rentu smiled and said, "Geng Qiancheng, you are lucky, your luck is really good." ”

"Yes, the minister admires the landless, and the minister is ashamed of the landless!" Geng Qiancheng said sincerely.

Min Ruoxi smiled: "The minister does his best for the king, and the king naturally has to bear the burden for the courtiers, otherwise how can he be a minister, how can he be a king?" Although you can do things with confidence, Qin Feng knows about this, and he will only praise me for doing a good job, and will not blame you. ”

"The minister is willing to be the Ming Dynasty, for the emperor, for the mother's liver and brain, and there is no regret in death!" Geng Qiancheng stood up and threw himself to the ground.

A young man in black walked quickly, bowed down and said, "Niangniang, Deng Fang has arrived, I want to see Niangniang!" ”

Min Ruoxi nodded and waved his hand to Geng Qiancheng, "This Deng Fang, you are not suitable to meet him, so go and go busy with your affairs, the emperor has high hopes for Izumo County, and if he really wants to build him into a thoroughfare of the four countries, it is not something that can be done well in a short period of time, you have a long way to go!" ”

"Minister, I will definitely do this thing well." Geng Qiancheng said loudly and firmly, gave another salute, turned around and walked away.

At the gate of the backyard, several people who came with Deng Fang stopped there, leaving only Deng Fang alone, walking into the courtyard quickly, he walked in front of Min Ruoxi with an anxious face, "I've seen Niangniang!" Turning around, he looked at He Rentu again, "I've seen Master He!" ”

Min Ruoxi nodded: "Lord Deng, please sit down!" ”

Deng Fang didn't sit down immediately, but said: "Niangniang, Qin Chao's bandits, there is indeed the funding of our Qin border army behind it, we have always raised some funds through him, you also know, we always have some sources and whereabouts of funds, I don't want people to find out the details, but this time Qin Chao boldly attacked Niangniang's team and intended to assassinate Niangniang, which has nothing to do with our Deng family, after knowing this, the Deng family was extremely shocked, and my father asked me to rush to Izumo County immediately to investigate the matter, My father also personally wrote a letter to Yuejing to explain the matter to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Min Ruoxi smiled and lifted the teapot from the chessboard, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Deng Fang: "Of course we know that it has nothing to do with your Deng family, otherwise, the trade on the border would have stopped a long time ago at this moment, and in Zhongping County, there would not still be only one Baoqing camp stationed." ”

Deng Fang let out a sigh: "Thank you Niangniang for your understanding, and thank Niangniang for your trust in us, please rest assured, I will definitely be able to give you an answer soon, although this time it has nothing to do with our Deng family, but Qin Chao has something to do with our Deng family after all, so the Deng family will still compensate for it." ”

"The Deng family is generous, and I am the reason why we are willing to associate with you." Min Ruoxi pursed her lips and smiled: "What do you want to compensate, talk to the emperor yourself, since you are here in person today, I want to give you a big gift." ”

"A big gift?" Deng Fang looked at Min Ruoxi suspiciously: "How embarrassing is this?" ”

"This time, their target is me." Min Ruoxi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Their design is also very thorough, but what they didn't expect was that Master He was hidden by my side, and Guo Jiuling's arrangement at the beginning really worked wonders, and we caught a person." ”

"I don't know who you caught, Niangniang?" Deng Fang was a little curious, and a little expectant, the gift Min Ruoxi said must be this person, and it is of course extraordinary that Min Ruoxi can give it to them as a gift.

"This person's name is Bian Liang!" Min Ruoxi understated the authenticity.

The speaker was as if nothing happened, but the listener lost the teacup in his hand by mistake, thanks to Deng Fang's martial arts cultivation, the teacup had just fallen, and it was already re-held by him, but the trembling hand and voice revealed the excitement in his heart: "Bian Liang? One of the core figures of the Bian family, actually came to assassinate Niangniang in person, and let Niangniang catch it, this is really a big gift, this big gift is enough to make Bian's hands busy. If Niangniang hands over this person to me, our Deng family will be able to deal a heavy blow to the Bian family. ”

"I said that this is a great gift for you, so it is naturally for you." Min Ruoxi smiled and said, "He's locked up here, you can take it away at any time." ”

Deng Fang pondered for a moment and said: "Niangniang, Bian Liang's identity is too important, Deng Fang came this time, he didn't bring many people, and if he wants to bring a living Bian Liang back, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, so Deng Fang wants to transfer an army from the border army, and then escort Bian Liang back to the border army camp, and ask Niangniang to forgive me, this Bian Liang has to be locked up here for a few more days, because once he leaves this courtyard, I really can't guarantee that he can stay alive." ”

This courtyard is not large, but there is a Grandmaster living in it, which is enough to ensure that anyone who covets Bian Liang can be looked at.

"No problem!" Min Ruoxi smiled.

Deng Fang was overjoyed, hurriedly walked back to the courtyard gate, and whispered a few words to an entourage, who nodded again and again, turned around and strode away.

"Niangniang, with Bian Liang's gift, my Deng clan's return will definitely not disappoint the Ming Empire." Deng Fangdao.

"Very good, there are contacts and contacts, this business can be done in the long run, and both parties can make more profits." Min Ruoxi said: "Is your second brother Deng Pu okay now, we are old acquaintances!" ”

Deng Fang smiled: "Since the second brother was promoted to the grandmaster, he has become the person who is offered, living in Yongdu and enjoying a high position, but he has no power. In the matter of the Luoying Mountains back then, the second brother was just ordered to do it, and asked the mother not to blame him. ”

"It's not enough to blame him, if it weren't for him, Qin Feng and I wouldn't be where we are today." Min Ruoxi smiled and said: "If he is free, invite him to go to Yuejing City to have a fun, it can be regarded as a gathering of old friends." ”

"I can move around, but the second brother is only afraid that it will be difficult to get out of Yong now." Deng Fang smiled bitterly: "Our Emperor His Majesty of Great Qin is very close. ”

Min Ruoxi and He Rentu looked at each other and smiled, the Deng family has made great achievements in recent years, Deng Pu has been promoted to the grandmaster, in the Qin State, the Deng family scenery is not the same for a while, which has also caused the royal family and the Bian family to join forces to suppress, the Deng family with the scenery outside, but now it is a difficult time in the country, no wonder Deng Fang has a strange mind. And the Ming Empire is sparing no effort to promote this kind of infighting between them.

This time, he caught Bian Liang secretly and did not announce it, but he gave it to the Deng family, so that the Deng family could give the Bian family a heavy blow, and the emperor of the Qin State would inevitably give an explanation to the Ming Empire because of the heavy punishment of the Bian family. The Qin State had just obtained such a stable import place of strategic materials as the Ming Empire, and if it was lost because of this, it would naturally be a heavy blow to the Qin State.

hit the Bian family hard, it seems that the Deng family has pulled back a game, but it will make the Qin royal family and the Bian family more jealous of the Deng family, and the suppression of the Deng family will inevitably increase, and the Deng family will rebound even more.

The ultimate goal of the Ming Empire was to promote the outbreak of civil strife in the Qin State. Of course, it is also to test where Li Zhi's bottom line is.
