【Chapter 344】The sky-high asking price, landing to pay back, we can't lose money, right?
(0344) If she really knows how to keep accounts, Xu Xingxia really doesn't mind, let her go to Yu Lijun to familiarize herself, slowly accumulate experience, and eventually become the female general accountant of the white-clothed army. The current white-clothed army is often tens of thousands of taels of silver income or expenditure, if there is no trustworthy and smart enough person to manage the accounts, Xu Xingxia is really not at ease. In his previous life, he didn't know anything about managing accounts. If someone else does something on the books, he can't easily see it.
However, before that, her status in the Xu family had to be clarified. It doesn't matter what her father and mother said to her. Anyway, she has absolutely nothing to do with herself. Of course, the necessary acting can also be considered. Since my father and mother can deceive themselves with kindness, I don't mind deceiving them with kindness...... Well, definitely not deception, it's non-violent non-cooperation. There's no way around it, it's not what I want. It's a pity that before he could make careful arrangements, he heard the familiar footsteps of his mother Wang.
"Xia'er, you're finally back!" Sure enough, Wang's voice came.
"Oh, mother, are you okay? I'm just coming back to see you! Since you're in good health, I'll go! I'll be coming back to see you more often in the future! Xu Xingxia almost without thinking, he used some mantras from his previous life, and then quickly pulled his legs away. He is peerlessly smart, of course, he will not give his mother any chance to reveal Lin Xiaoniang's identity. If she pointed it out, it would be raw rice cooked and ripe, and there would be no way to save it.
In the next life, if you don't listen to your father's words, you will be scolded for two sentences at most, which is not a big deal. Free love and rejection of arranged marriages by parents are the mainstream of the times. However, in this dynasty, if you don't listen to your father's words, you will be charged with a big unfilial piety. Rejecting the arranged marriage of parents is an alternative among others. Xu Xingxia thinks that he is alternative enough, and in this regard, it is better to attract as little attention as possible. Shoot the first bird, low-key is the king.
"Xia'er, why did you leave......" Before the Wang family could react, Xu Xingxia had already disappeared. She was stunned for a while, looked at Lin Xiaoniang beside her, and then understood what was going on. In desperation, she had no choice but to sigh softly and take Lin Xiaoniang's hand to show comfort. And Lin Xiaoniang was also very obedient and comforted by Wang's side, as if she was a real daughter-in-law, so Wang looked at her more and more pleasing to the eye...... Of course, in such an environment, the Wang family would definitely not notice that Lin Xiaoniang's eyes were a little strange when she looked at Xu Xingxia. Her eyes looked a little confused, a little resentful, and a little gloomy. That's right, it's gloomy. She looked at Xu Xingxia's back, as if she was a poisonous snake lurking in the grass, quietly staring at the prey in front of her.
…… Xu Xingxia slipped out of his house and quickly entered the old barracks of the white-clothed army. Originally, the barracks of the white-clothed army were set up in the southwest corner of Weizhen Fort, and later, the scale of the white-clothed army gradually expanded, and this side could no longer accommodate it, so it was fully relocated to the black mountain camp. Due to the change in the security situation, Fort Wiezhen no longer has a permanent garrison.
The original barracks was taken over by the Stewards Council and served as a place where the Stewards often discussed important matters. If there is any important and important matter, the eleven hundred households of the stewardship will gather here as much as possible to discuss and decide together. In a sense, the current Weizhen Fort is the administrative center of the White Army.
"Your Excellency!" Chen Denglong happened to come to meet him, and when he saw Xu Xingxia appear, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said hello. These words, Xu Xingxia has always been in charge of the white-clothed army, and he has indeed not seen each other for a while with all the hundreds of households in the stewardship.
"Hehe, you're here!" Xu Xing Xia said with a smile.
"My lord, we heard some rumors, I don't know ......," Chen Denglong said a little eagerly. In front of others, he is actually quite able to hide his words, but in front of Xu Xingxia, he seems very straightforward. Most of the people in the Board of Governors have this surname. They trust Xu Xingxia unreservedly, and naturally they will say whatever they have.
"What's the wind?" Xu Xingxia asked casually. In fact, he knew very well what Chen Denglong heard. This is not news that needs to be kept strictly secret, Wang Qinian must have told them. It can be seen from this incident that Wang Qinian has basically merged with them. It's also strange to say, this hundred households of Jinyi Wei don't seem to be sensitive to rebellion at all!
"My lord, are you going to be transferred?" Chen Denglong asked straightforwardly.
Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "Do you want me to transfer away?" ”
Chen Denglong said without thinking: "Of course I don't want to!" ”
Xu Xingxia said casually: "Then I won't leave." ”
Chen Denglong's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly: "Lord Qianhu, you also know that those people above are not good birds. They're going to kill you eventually! If, if...... They want to be unfavorable to you, no matter what decision you make, I, Chen Denglong, will definitely support you! If we don't have anything else, we have a life! This life is handed over to you! ”
While speaking, Lin Hainiu also appeared. Following, several other people in the management committee, Liu Guangliang, Gao Zhengcheng, Zhang Yunda, Deng Linyong, Gao Zaixing, Huang Xiaoning, Chen Wenyuan, Hu Yishan, Sun Mo and others were all there. It turned out that they had heard the news and were having a meeting here. For the above, they don't have a good impression at all, and they were still scolding their mother just now! Xu Xingxia appeared here, and they were suddenly excited, and they all poured out at once.
Lin Hainiu said excitedly: "That's right, my lord, don't fall for them!" They must be trying to find a way to divert you, weaken the forces around you, and then find a way to deal with you! Whatever they say to you, don't leave the Black Mountain camp! If they dare to send troops to attack here, let's take up arms and fight them! ”
The other 100 households also said so. For them, it is with Xu Xingxia that they have everything, and without Xu Xingxia, there is nothing for them. How could they be willing to let Xu Xingxia leave? If the top wants to deal with Xu Xingxia, they will be the first to stand up and fight to the top. Anyway, they don't have a good impression of those people above. Even if you want to rebel, everyone will not hesitate in the slightest.
Xu Xingxia nodded and said sincerely: "I understand what everyone said. Don't worry, I won't leave the Black Mountain camp, and I don't have to fight with them. ”
Chen Denglong lowered his voice and said slowly: "My lord, do you want us to make something come out?" Zhenshuo Fort is a good place to be. ”
His words were very subtle, but the people around him understood them. You must know that they are not ordinary people, but military households. Chen Denglong's meaning is actually very simple, that is, to make a mess out. If there is confusion among his subordinates, he will not be subject to military orders abroad, and Xu Xingxia will not need to be transferred. This is the best excuse. Such an excuse has been used countless times in history and has been tried and tested repeatedly.
Xu Xingxia smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "There is no need for this for the time being. ”
After a slight pause, he said confidently: "Let's keep our heads busy with our own affairs!" Doing our own thing is king. We have money, food and guns in our hands, and whoever wants to deal with us has to weigh it. Today, ours is not a trick, but a real fight! Whoever wants to deal with us, we will fight! ”
The last sentence gave you great confidence. Since Xu Xingxia has such words, it means that he will definitely not be arrested. As long as he has this decision, they can rest assured. Isn't it just a fight? Who to fight with is not to fight? The white-clothed army killed Helekin and took Lin Dan Khan, and anyone else who is not convinced, come up!
…… After Xu Xingxia returned to the Black Mountain Camp, his first order was to find Bai Siwen. As a result, Bai Swen came quickly. Xu Xingxia said straight to the point: "Bai Siwen, there is a rumor outside, you want to transfer me away, you should know what's going on, right?" ”
Bai Siwen said with certainty: "My lord, the rumors came from the Yamen of the Chief Military Officer. ”
Xu Xingxia was slightly surprised, and said a little strangely: "Are you sure?" ”
Bai Siwen nodded and said with great certainty: "Sure." ”
Xu Xingxia asked with interest, "What do you say?" ”
Bai Siwen did not shy away from saying: "My lord, snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and every line has rules for each line. Even if it is to spread rumors, there are rules. In our line of work, the top level is nothing more than those few people. As soon as I heard where the rumors came from and what they contained, I knew who was behind them. He's no match for me. ”
Xu Xingxia nodded and said with satisfaction: "Okay!" Then I'm relieved! I came to you to let you spread some rumors about your surname. Etiquette is still exchanged, we can't be too rude! They tempted us with rumors, and we responded to them with rumors. ”
Bai Siwen suddenly became energetic, and said with a little excitement: "My lord, please speak, I will definitely do it." ”
Xu Xingxia said methodically: "I agree to be transferred." However, there are three conditions. The first one is to fulfill all the feats I have made. Second, I have to give back all my private investments. The construction of Zhenshuo Fort, Black Mountain Camp, and Zhenyuan Pass was all my personal money, and this money was all bad for me. Thirdly, the slaves I have taken back from the Tartars, if they are willing to go with me, they should be approved by the higher-ups. ”
Bai Siwen said bluntly: "My lord, this is simply impossible. ”
Xu Xingxia smiled and shrugged, spread his hands, and said lightly: "Aren't we talking about a deal?" Since it's a transaction, you have to ask for a price and pay back the money on the ground, we can't do a loss-making business, right? Blocking people's wealth is to cut off their children and grandchildren. ”
Bai Siwen nodded, and said eagerly: "Don't worry, my lord." In two days, Li Guozhen will know what you mean. ”
Xu Xingxia nodded with satisfaction.
After Bai Siwen said goodbye and left, Xu Xingxia pinched his chin and was silently in a daze. What kind of response will there be to the three conditions put forward by yourself? If they do, it's not impossible to change places. If it hadn't been done...... I'm sorry, I had to stop leaving. Even if I am asked to marry Lin Xiaoniang, I won't leave!
