Feng Duo didn't answer, just waited quietly for Cai Yan's order.
"Send the shadow team first." Cai Yan said, "Depending on the situation, Wuluohoumu should not be needed."
"It's no use." Feng Duo said, "The situation in Yecheng is very dangerous, the refugees are in groups, occupying the mountains as kings, and the military is independent | lack of skills, Gu Wangshan alone, will definitely not be able to take care of it, we only need to bribe a few It's very simple to get rid of Wang Shan from the guards in the city, let them know what's going on at any time. If you can't do anything in the city, sell the news to the Yuan people and let them deal with it easily."
"No no no." Cai Yan said, "I must not let him fall into the hands of Yuan people."
Feng Duo had to answer: "Yes."
"Let's do it." In Cai Yan's eyes, killing Duan Ling should be a sure thing. When it was over, he remembered it again and said, "Get rid of Wu Du too, and make sure they are both dead."
Feng Duo bowed and retired.
Cai Yan didn't know why, but when he saw Duan Ling again, there was a fear in his heart that he had forgotten before. We must get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to deal with it if he takes time to take care of him.
At the second watch, the owner of the No. 1 stall in the world is about to close. Duan Ling was dizzy, and secretly said that fortunately, he came to gather with Huang Jian and others tonight, otherwise he would have too many details and omissions, and things would definitely go wrong.
"What about the promotion of personnel?" Duan Ling asked.
"Leave it to Gong Cao." Huang Jian said, "Delegate all the things that can be delegated, otherwise you are the only one, not three heads and six arms, and you can't care about it."
"Okay." Duan Ling now feels that knowing and appointing people is really a profound knowledge. If he follows his own style in Tongguan, he may not be able to handle it if he is too busy to die. Qin Xuguang also instructed: "You have to treat them kindly and ensure that these people are loyal to you. There are no fish in the clear, no disciples in the investigation, and corruption and bribery, as long as you don't shake the foundation, and keep your eyes open. Just let it go."
Duan Ling knew that Qin Xuguang really did not avoid suspicion, so he told himself that, after all, everyone would be colleagues in the future.
But because he trusted them and informed them about the borrowing of food, Qin Xuguang happily said these words in return. This feeling of trust made Duan Ling feel good.
"It's closed." Duan Ling said, "Let's withdraw. In the future, whether it's outside or in the Hanlin Academy, everyone will come and see my brother when they're free."
Huang Jian said: "Within a year, you will definitely come back. As long as everything is on the right track, there is absolutely no reason for such a person to stay in Yecheng for a lifetime."
Everyone laughed, said their goodbyes, and agreed to contact them by letter. Duan Ling had a premonition that there were still many places where he needed help. It was a good thing for Huang Jian and others to go out to Yecheng. After all, they were in the court. And if he develops in Yecheng, he will have his own support, as long as he doesn't fight against the same party.
Duan Ling came downstairs, but saw Wu Du and Zheng Yan sitting opposite to drink.
"Why are you here too?" Duan Ling said.
"I'm afraid I won't be free tomorrow." Zheng Yan said, "I'll see you off first."
Huang Jian and others said hello and left on their own, leaving Duan Ling, Wu Du and Zheng Yan. Wu Du led the horse and walked beside the two. Zheng Yan touched the sky and said to Wu Du, "I heard them say today that the post of Colonel Hejian will come down tomorrow."
Wu Du nodded and pondered, Zheng Yan looked at Duan Ling again and said, "You volunteered today to go to such a remote place, which is beyond my expectations."
Duan Ling and Zheng Yan stood opposite each other. Duan Ling vaguely felt that Zheng Yan had guessed something, and Wu Du would definitely not tell him the truth. He could only say these things by himself.
"You don't like the prince?" Zheng Yan asked.
"Master Zheng." Duan Ling smiled, "Even if this is true, will I tell you? Don't try to trick me."
Zheng Yan also laughed, knowing that Duan Ling had made a clear statement, he narrowed his eyes.
"I have a handwritten letter here." Zheng Yan said to Duan Ling, "After arriving in Yecheng, if there is any difficulty, with this letter, you can send it to Huaiyin and give it to Yaohou. He will come to help you in my opinion."
Duan Ling took the letter and said, "Thank you."
"It was His Majesty's order." Zheng Yan said, "The north is dangerous, so be careful."
Zheng Yan got on his horse and rode away.
After Zheng Yan left, Duan Ling said to Wu Du, "Why did he suddenly ask about Cai Gou?"
"He heard it that night." Wu Du said, "He has begun to doubt the identity of the prince. Or, he has been doubting from the beginning."
It was the second half of the night, and the two walked through the quiet alley. The moon was shining, the ground was bright, and the air in May was fresh and beautiful.
"When I go back, I have to see the shepherd." Wu Du said.
Duan Ling had a headache when he thought about it, and it was a rare moment of peace. He hoped that this alley would never come to an end. He held Wu Du's hand and walked slowly, as if there were only the two of them in the world.
"What you said in the imperial study today is true?" Wu Du said.
"What's the truth?" Duan Ling couldn't remember anymore, he pondered for a moment, remembering Xie You's questioning about Wu Du's ability, and said, "Ah, yes."
He turned around and looked at Wu Du, who was wearing a black robe and led Ben Xiao.
"I sometimes think, you have to wear armor and armor." Duan Ling smiled, "He must be a very heroic general."
Wu Du lowered his head and kissed Duan Ling's lips. When the lips were separated, Wu Du looked at Duan Ling's eyes seriously, and there was a lingering worry in his eyes.
"Let's go." Wu Du said, "If you want to kill people, you will kill a lot of people. If you want to kill those who oppose you, those who want to trap you, and if you want to lead troops, you have to kill people who are out of order, or even kill people who are against you. Drop the rich, rob their money, and distribute it to the people."
"I know." Duan Ling said sadly.
"Maybe you will be killed with blood." Wu Du said, "You have a good nature, I'm afraid you won't be able to make a decision."
"No." Duan Ling sighed and said, "I've seen too many people die."
Wu Du said: "I will kill for you. Don't be afraid, but this is the only thing I have to say. You should not be soft on anyone who should be killed. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles."
"Okay." Duan Ling nodded and said, "I promise you."
Only then did Wu Du nodded. Duan Ling seemed to suddenly know another Wu Du who was different. He remembered that he would kill people, but he seldom did it when it was not necessary.
Maybe this time, Wu Du is going to start killing, Duan Ling is a little uneasy, but this day will come, go to an unfamiliar place.
He has been thinking about this question all the time. The alley has come to an end, and there is a housekeeper waiting outside. He said to Duan Ling, "Master Wang, the master is waiting for you in the study, please come as soon as possible."
"How long have you waited?" Duan Ling asked.
"Nearly an hour." The butler replied.
When it was nearly three watch, Duan Ling and Wu Du hurried over to prepare for the last meeting of the day.
There were two volumes of appointment papers on the case, and two men were still sitting behind the case. Although it was late at night, everyone was still in good spirits and were discussing the administration of Yecheng. Duan Ling came in and accused Mu Kuangda of waiting for a long time, but Mu Kuangda waved his hand and replied that it doesn't matter.
"Did you talk to your senior brother?" Mu Kuangda asked.
"Yes." Duan Ling knew that no matter what he did, he couldn't hide it from Mu Kuangda.
"Some of the classics, you have to learn more from Huang Jian." Mu Kuangda introduced to Duan Ling again, "This is Mr. Lin."
After the case, a person named Lin Yunqi met with Duan Ling. Mu Kuangda said, "Mr. Lin followed Xichuan salt and iron envoy Ren Bi to be promoted to adult. He is in charge of the examination of fame and fame, so he must be able to help you."
Duan Ling was busy thanking Lin Yunqi, but Mu Kuangda introduced another person, but he was a warrior, and the warrior surrendered to Duan Ling, Mu Kuangda said: "His name is Wang Zheng, he is from your own family, and he was the former emperor's accomplice, who led the army to disarm the North. After that, he stayed in Xichuan, and came to Jiangzhou after moving the capital. Xie You recommended it to me, it must be upright."
One was in charge of promotion and the other was in charge of punishment. Duan Ling knew that there would definitely be Mu Kuangda by his side, and Mu Kuangda had the final say on who to use and who to punish, otherwise he would not rest assured. I was also afraid that I would cultivate my own power in Yecheng, and I would not be able to control it when I grew up.
Duan Ling exchanged a few words with the two, and Mu Kuangda said to Lin and Wang, "It's getting late, you two go back and rest, there will be time in the future to talk with the prefect."
Lin Yunqi and Wang Zheng retire first, and Mu Kuangda said, "Close the door and talk."
Duan Ling laughed, then stepped forward and closed the door. There were only Mu Kuangda, himself, and Wu Du in the room. In the silence, Mu Kuangda said, "Go ahead, apprentice."
Duan Ling was apprehensive, knowing that Mu Kuangda must have great opinions on his actions.
"I want to borrow food from the Liao people." Duan Ling told Mu Kuangda of his plan. After listening to it, Mu Kuangda said, "Fei Hongde is indeed by Yelu Zongzhen's side. As you expected, this is feasible."
Duan Ling nodded, and explained to Mu Kuangda what Huang Jian told him in general, as well as some of his own thoughts. In the end, Mu Kuangda said, "No problem, I have a good idea. Do you have anything else to say? "
Duan Ling knew that Mu Kuangda had to ask why he invited himself to Yecheng.
"No more." Duan Ling said.
"You are a new talent." Sure enough, Mu Kuangda said, "Why do you want to go to Yecheng? Why don't you discuss it with Master first?"
Mu Kuangda spoke slowly, but Duan Ling knew that if he was careless and answered the wrong question, he would be wary. In fact, Mu Kuangda was already suspicious of him at this time. After all, he hadn't thought about it before and had not discussed such a big decision with Mu Kuangda.
"I asked Wang Shan to say so." At this time, Wu Du suddenly said.
"No." Duan Ling said, "I thought so myself."
He signaled Wu Du not to take him on him, and said to Mu Kuangda, "I want to spend more time with him."
Mu Kuangda imagined many answers from this apprentice, but he did not expect the final explanation to be so simple.
