"Cough cough cough!" A rapid coughing sound came from the depths of Mingjian Division. The sound was long and far-reaching.

After the Zhengxi Mansion was established in Changsha, Mingjian Division tyrannically occupied the Changsha Governor's annex in the west of the city for the first time. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment was so good that no one could have imagined that there was a secret prison deep in the garden. It was the former Changsha Governor's residence.

A place where girls are imprisoned.

"Miss Qingfeng, what do you think?" Su Qing crossed her legs and knocked on the melon seeds as she spoke, feeling very comfortable.

"This person should be from the east, but he is definitely not from Luantai or Jinyi Qilin. Miss Su, are you trying to teach me?" Gu Qingfeng's complexion has improved a lot, and his face is a little rosy. It seems that he has recovered well and everyone is happy.

I have gained some weight, but I am still very weak to get out of bed, so I can only lie on the warm bed.

Su Qing clapped her hands, walked to the bed and picked up a peach from the fruit plate beside the bed and said jealously: "I am also a marquis after all. Compared with Miss Qingfeng, I look so down and out. You actually have peaches to eat in this cold day."

.”

"Miss Su, just come here if you want. You don't have to speak so harshly, and you don't have to test me like this. I have an agreement with the Duke. He saved my father's life that day, and I will serve him for ten years. I

Gu Qingfeng still keeps his word." Gu Qingfeng said calmly.

"I really don't believe you. I don't know why the Duke of Guo insists that you join the Mingjian Division. But I won't question the Duke's decision. According to the Duke's instructions, all matters outside the Central Plains of the Mingjian Division will be decided by you. These guys

I have to rest assured that my brothers are working hard outside." Su Qing's tone was not friendly.

"The Duke really loves you. It is your business to be in charge of the overall situation of Mingjian Division. The Duke is deliberately dividing the power of Mingjian Division and protecting you. Can't you see it?" Gu Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Why didn't I see it? I just felt that he was dissatisfied with my lack of ability." Su Qing said sadly, sitting down next to Gu Qingfeng's bed.

"The Duke intends to reorganize the Mingjian Department. The needs of the spy organization are getting bigger and bigger. You will inevitably fail to take into account the Mingjian Department many times when you are in charge of the Mingjian Department. Before the Duke left, he told both of us that the Mingjian Department is divided into three divisions and ten departments. With you,

Mainly, with me as a supplement, the scope of supervision covers people, farmers, industry, commerce, and four overseas countries. This is not something that one person can handle." Gu Qingfeng said patiently.

"Miss Qingfeng, let me ask you what you would do if Gu Xifeng called back?" Su Qing suddenly changed the subject.

Gu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "Miss Su, do you think this is possible? I hope my brother and Brother Yanfeng have the same choice."

"Then why do you hide your whereabouts and identity and are unwilling to meet Gu Hou?" Su Qing asked.

"It's better not to meet each other. It's Mr. Gu who missed him. I really don't have the face to meet him." Gu Qingfeng's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

Su Qing hugged Gu Qingfeng's shoulders very intimately and said, "Qingfeng, don't be like this. The Duke of Guo is a man of his word. He said that ten years will be ten years and he will not keep you for another day. And you can't hide from Gu Hou."

, Gu Hou is the general who conquered the West Prefecture, what do you think?"

Qingfeng was not disgusted with Su Qing's intimate gestures, but felt quite warm. Born in a noble family, such a violation of etiquette cannot exist, "You are such a foul mouth, how long has it been since General Shi came home? Your reputation

I'm afraid that the entire Zhengxi Mansion knows about it, so why bother hiding it? It's not a bad idea to go to the camp, right?"

"Are you making fun of me too? Why don't you just join Chenghou Mansion?" Gu Qingfeng said bitterly. Quartz, a petty person, was going to deal with him later.

After the two of them had a joke, Su Qing saw that Gu Qingfeng looked a little tired and was about to leave. Before leaving, he said: "Miss Qingfeng, to be honest, as a friend, I am willing to trust you, but after all, you are from the Gu family.

I will not withdraw from the supervision. If you have any dissatisfaction, just come to me. This is not required by the government."

Gu Qingfeng smiled and said: "I understand, if it were me, you might have died long ago. After all, I am a member of the Gu family. My brother is still fighting against the Duke in Dongchuan. It's okay for you to do this. Don't worry, I won't leave here.

Let the people from Tōkaidō come over to see me, there may be something big going on in Tōkaidō recently."

Su Qing was very satisfied, nodded and left without saying anything. He walked to the door and said softly: "I know you are not Gu Qingfeng's opponent, so there is no need to be so hostile. As long as she doesn't leave Mingjian Division, don't embarrass her. I understand.

?"

After a while, a respectful voice came from the darkness: "Respect the commander's orders, Mr. Qingfeng is very calm and does not feel sorry for us."

The corner of Su Qing's mouth raised slightly, and she thought to herself: "The Duke's heart is really not that big. Most of the people he hires come from affiliation or have close relationships with other forces. For example, he has been with the Anton Mansion in this life.

I’m also confused.”

After a heavy snowfall, Changsha City, covered with snow, is particularly beautiful. It has the majesty of a northern city and the softness of a southern water town. When the wind blows, you don't feel cold, but feel a little warm.

"Marquis Ying, there was a fierce conflict between the Liling camp and the governor. The day before yesterday, they all surrounded the governor's office."

There are always people who appear when they shouldn't, and Quartz's good mood disappears all of a sudden.

"Transfer Cong Fang to Changsha's staff general, Yizhou's staff general Su Xu to Liling's staff general, and Hou Cheng to Yizhou's staff general. From now on, the camp will rotate its generals every six months. Let this be a permanent practice for the Changsha Army."

"Isn't this detrimental to military training?"

"The most important job of the Changsha Army is to guard the Governor's Mansion. The three battalions plus the Baize Guard are the most basic defense of the Governor's Mansion. This way they avoid friction with the local government. More importantly, the military judges are not humane." Quartz explained in detail.

, just to let the people of the three camps know their responsibilities. Cong Fang, who was just a general in the Liling camp, dared to besiege the governor's mansion, which shows how arrogant and barbaric the army officers are.

At this time, a man ran over from a distance and shouted: "Master Hou, run! Madam is calling in! The brothers in front can't stop us!"

Quartz immediately changed her expression, picked up her robe and ran away. If Su Qing catches him, he will die. There is a tiger wife in the family, and everyone in Zhengxi Mansion will know about it. Even people like Jin Qian will hear about it.

He also gave a rare smile and said to others: "The life of Marquis Ying is probably the most difficult in the entire Zhengxi Mansion."

"Brother Gu, Qingfeng is very good. You don't have to worry. It's good that he saved your life but prevented you from returning to the Central Plains in this life. Wouldn't it be good to play chess and drink with me in Bihai City?" Yang Boqin consoled him.

"Brother Yang, my son Xifeng..." Gu Xing looked sad.

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It is not easy for niece Qingfeng to protect you. I have made a ten-year agreement. I am afraid that the world will be peaceful by then." Yang Boqin sighed.

"The Gu family has been destroyed by your apprentice for thousands of years. It is difficult for me not to hate him! It's difficult! It's difficult!" Gu Xing expressed the grief and indignation in his heart.

"When you, the Gu family, slaughtered everyone in the house, did you ever think about this day?" Yang Boqin said rudely.

"The strangulation of Meng's family was not done by our Gu family, the royal family was the main culprit. Besides, what Meng's actions were considered a rebellion today, what did I, the Gu family, do wrong?" Gu Xing became more and more angry as he spoke.

"Hmph! Lao Gu, how are the twelve states of Xingtan living under your rule, the Gu family? How many people really respect you, but they are just afraid of the Gu family's sword. How do you think you were defeated?

, The Gu family is defeated by people's hearts!" Yang Bo refuted like a protective calf.

"You!" Gu Xing was speechless for a moment, picked up the wine bottle and drank it directly, and said bitterly: "Hmph! Let's see how arrogant he can be! My son Xifeng will definitely return to Xingzhou and promote the prestige of my Gu family!

"

This is speaking harshly. If it is said among the common people, it may have some effect, but for the people in this game, it is just a shout without confidence. Yang Boqin saw the wine table that was made a mess by Gu Xing

, frowned and said: "Lao Gu, don't blame me for being ungrateful. You'd better stay in Bihai City honestly. People in the Central Plains don't have a good impression of you. Look at what you look like now, and look at you again.

Of the 'Three Young Masters' who were trained as chess pieces, which one doesn't live a more dazzling life than you!"

Gu Xing became even more angry when he mentioned those three people, but he really had no basis to refute, so he stood up suddenly and staggered out.

Tianyue County Yazhong Meng Yan and Cang Shu Haoyue finally sent the drunk Zhong Roulan away. They slumped on the chairs without saying a word, watching the servants clean up with straight eyes.

"Qi Lang, is it time for Sanniang to find a husband for her? If she keeps going like this, something will happen sooner or later!" Cang Shu Haoyue murmured. Zhong Roulan drank wine and ate meat as boldly as any man in the world.

But she was just a woman. Cang Shu Haoyue thought about it and couldn't think of anyone suitable for Zhong Roulan.

"Save it for yourself. Just look at Quartz's life and you will know that a woman like Sanniang cannot be easily conquered. Even Ye Bohuai frowned when he heard Sanniang's name. No one dares to touch her!" Mentioned

Meng Yan looked like he had no love for her. He really couldn't understand why Xiao Yu was so obsessed with her.

"Speaking of which, I would like to ask you, what's going on with Gu Qingfeng? Why did you let her enter the Mingjian Department? Su Qing couldn't take care of himself, and you stuffed a fox in." Cang Shu Haoyue straightened up with difficulty.

.

"I just want to relax and let her learn to be a wife. Dealing with people in the dark all day has become weird. As for Gu Qingfeng, it's nothing. She will do her best to serve Zhengxi Mansion within ten years."

Meng Yan said confidently.

"Oh? Does Qilang have any plans?" Cang Shu Haoyue became interested.

"This matter was handled by Third Senior Brother. I didn't interfere, but I probably know that Gu Xing should be in Bihai City now." Meng Yan said calmly.

"Well, the reason Gu Hou chatted with you for a long time this afternoon was because of Gu Qingfeng, right?" Cang Shu Haoyue came up with some clues.

"Well, I told him everything I knew, and he understood, but he was a little confused about Gu Qingfeng's reluctance to see him."

"I understand, I won't ask any more questions, but there is one thing you must solve. The second brother's letter has arrived, and it contains a greeting from father-in-law. You must reply." Cang Shu Haoyue said with some helplessness.

, ever since they met Lu Chongzong, Meng Yan deliberately avoided any greetings from Lu Chongzong, which made Cang Shu Haoyue feel even more distressed.

"You can reply for me. Just think about it yourself. There is also the Donghai matter. Gu Qingfeng has sorted it out and sent it over. What do you think?" Meng Yan simply avoided the sensitive topic and turned to other places.

.

Cang Shu Haoyue sighed lightly. It was indeed difficult for Meng Yan. As his wife, he had the responsibility to handle the relationship between them.

"I've seen it. I'm afraid Donghai is eyeing Weishan. Weishan is under the rule of Yuan Changli's Gusu General Wang Ming. According to the intelligence, Yuan Changli seems to have an ambiguous relationship with Donghai." Then Cang Shu Haoyue paused and continued.

: "My father-in-law's letter also mentioned that the East China Sea Department was stationed outside Laizhou Port."

"The terrain of the East China Sea is barren. I have wanted to invade the Central Plains since ancient times, but I have never had the chance. Now that the northern part of the Central Plains is divided and has no time to take care of coastal defense, I have given him a chance. The pressure on the eldest brother and Sanniang is not small." Meng Yan sighed.

This country of Donghai is the most shameless. When the Central Plains was at its peak, it pretended to ask for advice humbly. As long as there was turmoil in the Central Plains, the first one to fall out was Donghai, a capricious villain. The three people's attitudes towards Donghai were surprisingly consistent, and they destroyed it.

quick.

The current leader of the East China Sea, Gui Er Yinggui, is even more ambitious. Taking advantage of the turmoil in the Central Plains, he fanned the flames everywhere. He first cooperated with Quan Hanliang, and now showed his favor to Yuan Changli, which shows his desire to enter the Central Plains. Now the Central Plains is undecided, and the East China Sea

At the peak of their strength, the three of them decided to form a joint fleet of the two governments after discussion to prevent sudden invasion from the East China Sea. However, Zhong Roulan's insistence on not asking Zhong Fan for help was quite troublesome.

"You should still care about yourself. We have not been able to get through the contact with the Gu family and the Changsun family. Isn't the Changsun family your mother clan? Is it so heartless?" Cang Shu Haoyue asked in confusion.

"The Changsun family and the Chen family are sandwiched between Yuan Changli, Quan Zheng and Quan Hanliang. They have no actual contact with our Chen Dynasty. They are both huge aristocratic families and have little confidence in us. It is normal that they have not responded." Meng

Yan was not surprised by this.

"Then what do you mean by leaving Yeling in the west?" Cang Shu Haoyue now felt that she could not understand Meng Yan more and more.

"Insert into the hinterland of the two rivers, contain the Zhuge family, and defeat the Zhu Mu family. If the southwest is unstable, it will be difficult for us to move northward." Meng Yan took out a piece of paper from his arms and continued: "But this Gu Qingfeng is indeed right.

, this is sending me a spring breeze!”

Cang Shu Haoyue was confused when she saw the content on the paper and smiled, very happily.
