"Yes, I have never encountered such a powerful pirate even in my humble position. The fighting style is not like a pirate at all, without any rules, but more like a well-trained soldier!" Ma Zi sighed in admiration.

"This has been reported to the Ministry of War a long time ago, and your Majesty probably knows it too!" Wu Guangxian said.

While the two were talking, a guard came in and said: "General Qi, military advisor, Lord Ling has sent a letter, please check it!"

Wu Guangxian frowned and asked in confusion: "Master Marquis? Which Master Marquis?"

Ma Zijing's expression changed, and he asked strangely: "A letter from Lord Marquis?"

"Yes, military advisor! The Marquis's servants are still waiting outside!" said the guard.

Wu Guangxian was still confused: "Who are you talking about?"

Ma Zijing looked at him and said: "General, besides Lord Linghou, the third son of Ling Shangshu, who else is there in the world today?"

Wu Guangxian's expression changed and he asked in disbelief: "His letter?" He looked at Ma Zijing involuntarily.

The two looked at each other, not expecting to receive a letter from him at this time.

Ma Zijing took it first, opened it, looked at a few words on it, and then slowly handed it to Wu Guangxian.

"General Wu personally announced;

Hearing that the general is resting in Beijing, Ling Mou has been looking up to the general's style, destroying pirates, and promoting the power of our great Zhou Dynasty. If you don't mind it, Ling Mou will prepare some tea on the first floor of the world at Shenshi today. He hopes to meet the general and all the soldiers, and he will be respectful.

.”

"What does this mean?" Wu Guangxian looked at the letter and frowned deeply.

Ma Zijing stroked his poor, messy beard and said, "Master Ling wants to meet you, general."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Wu Guangxian said in a bad tone: "The problem is that he clearly knows that I have a rift with his father. The gang in Beijing are using this matter to tie you and me together. Isn't it just because of his father? At this moment, he

Want to see me?"

Ma Zijing frowned in a Sichuan shape and said for a long time: "Is it possible that the Marquis wants to resolve the problem between you, the general, and his father?"

"What personal issues do I have with him?" Wu Guangxian's beard bulged: "Any violation of Zhou's laws is a violation of the law. Wu is an upright person and is not afraid of being slandered by those people. Go and tell people outside that you are gone!"

"Yes, General!" The guard nodded and left.

Ma Zijing quickly comforted him: "General, didn't you often say that you wanted to meet that Jiangzhou government official? How could you achieve this in just four years, and even His Majesty had to imitate his model?

Will the Great Zhou Dynasty be carried out? His father is his father, and the marquis is the marquis!"

Wu Guangxian pondered for a while, and after thinking about it, he immediately raised his head and shouted: "Come back!"

The guard who had almost reached the door walked in quickly after hearing this.

"Go out and tell Wu that you will be here on time!"

"Yes, General!" The guard stared at him again before leaving, as if there was something he had not explained.

"I asked you to go, why don't you go?" Ma Zijing said angrily in a low voice.

The guard finally confirmed that there were no changes, and then ran out in small steps.

…

On the first floor of the world, as a local in the capital or someone with a little knowledge, you all know who the boss is behind the scenes.

Asking the world, who dares to call himself No. 1 in the world except the one in the imperial palace? People in the martial arts world are not interested in the title of No. 1 in the world. What they always think about is immortality, broken void, and the past.

Like a flying eagle, Shattered Void left this world and became the undisputed number one on this continent. His own legend will be spread for a long time in the future.

The first floor in the world heard that the Marquis had booked a private room today. The news was quickly received by the people in the palace, and they soon learned that the Marquis had sent a letter to the official residence where General Wu Guangxian, the Water Governor, was staying.

Stack that.

So the news soon spread in the capital. The Marquis' invitation to General Wu Shen Shi to gather on the first floor was immediately placed on the desks of all the major officials. There were even officials who just came out of the palace on their way back to the mansion.

received.

"Hey, it seems that the Marquis is worried about his father's affairs. Has he come forward to deal with it?"

"Come here, book me a private seat on the first floor!"

“Book me a room too!”

Soon, the first floor in the world received many reservations. In just half a quarter of an hour, all the private rooms had been booked, and the same was true for the lobby.

The first floor in the world, a time-honored brand in the capital, how old is it exactly? It's very old anyway. People who remember the exact date except the shopkeeper probably don't even remember it clearly. Tonight is more lively than ever.

When Wu Guangxian, Ma Zijing and a group of guards arrived at the door, it was already crowded and the seats were already full. When their figures appeared at the door, the waiter had been waiting for a long time.

"General Wu and other generals, the Marquis has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me!" The waiter politely led the way.

The entire hall suddenly became quiet, all looking at Wu Guangxian and others, because everyone knew who the person they wanted to see was!

Arriving in front of a private room, the waiter bent down through the door and said, "Master Marquis, General Wu and other generals are here."

The door swung open, revealing Ling Xin'an inside. He stood up and said with a smile: "Ling has met General Wu and all the generals, please come in!"

Wu Guangxian and Ma Zijing looked at him, their expressions were shocked, they were so young!

"See you, Lord Marquis!" Wu Guangxian, Ma Zijing and others immediately saluted.

Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "Generals, there is no need to be polite. You protect your home and country. Ling is just a useless person. Why should you be so important? Please sit down!"

Soon, everyone sat down one after another, and Wu Guangxian discovered that there was no one else except Ling Xin'an and the four guards behind him.

"General Wu, please forgive Ling for being so abrupt and presumptuous in inviting me. In fact, I have no other intention. I just want to thank you generals for eliminating the worries of pirates in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Please!"

Wu Guangxian looked at Ling Xin'an for a long time before he said: "I heard that in Jiangzhou City under the rule of the Marquis, the houses were not closed at night unless the streets were picked up. This kind of grand scene could only be seen in the period of Emperor Wu. The Marquis deserves such an honor."

Ling Xin'an's expression remained unchanged, she looked at Wu Guangxian and said with a smile: "Ling did what he should do. No matter how capable he is, he is just doing his duty faithfully and seeking his position. This is not what a minister should do.

Something?"

"It's a good idea to do your duty faithfully, but Mr. Hou, others don't think as you do, Mr. Hou." Wu Guangxian said.

Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "General, I invite you here today. It's really just a private matter, not official business. It's just that Ling heard that the general is good at water fighting and wanted to see him. What I saw today is that the general is really like the sea.

The waves are turbulent and powerful.”

Wu Guangxian said sternly: "If it is just a private matter, Lord Marquis, please forgive me for being more curious. The military attache is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of various governments. Besides, you and I are not relatives, so why should we talk about private matters."

Ling Xin'an showed embarrassment and smiled again: "The general is very upright, but Ling is being rude. Let me go ahead and toast you all with a drink. Thank you for your sacrifice of your life and blood to protect the Great Zhou!" After that, he drank it all.

When these words fell into the ears of Wu Guangxian and others, they couldn't help but change their color slightly. To be honest, no matter how upright Wu Guangxian is, he has experienced the baptism of officialdom for most of his life.

My own profound experience, no matter how much Ling Xin'an said before, I didn't feel much, but the following words were spoken from the bottom of my heart, and the soldiers could still feel it.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Marquis!" Ma Zijing raised his glass first and said, "I would like to thank you, Mr. Marquis, for all my brothers." He drank it all in one gulp!

Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "It's okay. To be honest with you, General Wu must have thought that Ling invited you here for the sake of the general and his father. In fact, Ling just wanted to ask the general to help with something. I wonder if the general can help?

"

Ma Zijing said calmly: "Master Marquis, please tell me!"

"I hope the general will report to His Majesty and establish the Great Zhou Navy! The general will recruit and train it himself." Ling Xin'an said slowly.

As soon as he said these words, Wu Guangxian's expression immediately changed, and he looked at Ling Xin'an, his eyes becoming bright and solemn for the first time.

"Wu is very confused, why does the Marquis think so?" Wu Guangxian said again.

"In the Great Zhou Dynasty, when it comes to naval forces, no one can compare with the generals. And around the Great Zhou Dynasty, the five barbarians are eyeing them. The Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Gui have huge coastal lines, which are very suitable for going to sea and even more suitable for transporting troops to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If war breaks out again in the coastal prefectures in the future, who can guarantee that the enemy will not attack from the sea?

The attack is coming, so it is urgent to establish a naval army. The only one who understands the naval battle in the Great Zhou Dynasty is you, the general. But general, war has no eyes, the battlefield is vast, and there is only one general, so it will be impossible to take care of both. Ling

I'm not very talented. I thought of this and rashly asked the general to explain." Ling Xin'an said.

Ma Zijing and Wu Guangxian looked solemnly and looked at each other. No one could have imagined that Ling Xin'an's purpose in inviting them here was actually to ask them to present a memorial to build a navy.

As for this, I just listed it when I was debriefing in front of His Majesty. All the officials in the court meeting did not dare and could not divulge these contents, because it involves the great policy of the court, and no one will risk the unconfirmed big policy.

The plan was circulated, but Ling Xin'an brought it up here. Thinking of the Jiangzhou Port he established in Jiangzhou City and the bunkers along the Yangtze River, the only thing that can be confirmed is that he himself thought of the possibility of this scene in future wars.

Wu Guangxian was really shocked. He really didn't expect that Ling Xin'an invited him here just to talk about this matter.

"Since the Marquis has thought of it, why don't you go to the memorial yourself?" Wu Guangxian asked.

Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "Firstly, Ling is not a military attache, let alone a general who leads troops to fight, especially the navy. Secondly, Ling is just a Marquis!"

Wu Guangxian and Ma Zijing immediately understood that the Marquis only held the title of Marquis and had no responsibility to participate in political affairs unless summoned by the emperor.

"There are many ministers of war and generals in the capital, so the Marquis can ask them to report!" Wu Guangxian said.

Ling Xin'an shook her head: "General, there is a hierarchy of knowledge and specialization of skills. Generals and marshals guard the surrounding areas without losing even an inch of territory, but they may not be able to deal with a few thieves at sea. Ling is not talented.

I still understand this truth. Your Majesty understands the righteousness well and understands the key points. You must be the leader, and I can only rely on you!"

After saying these words, everyone present was shocked. They didn't expect that Ling Xin'an would value them so much.
