Ning Zhong thought there was something wrong with his ears.

Wuwei Houfu is one of the twenty-seven founding princes. He is one of the rare military generals who can restore his ancestral title. In some private occasions, he often compares himself with his predecessor, Pei Zhen, the Duke of Dingguo, because Pei Zhen was the founder of the country.

Among the descendants of Jiu Gong, he is the only one who can restore his ancestor's title. The other eight princes' palaces are constantly being downgraded, and there is even an unlucky guy like the Chu Kingdom who confiscates his family and exterminates his family.

Of course, Ning Zhong would never admit that the reason why he was promoted to the third-class Wuwei Marquis was because of Cheng'an Hou Lu Min's strong recommendation in front of Emperor Kaiping. Otherwise, with his previous mediocre record and resume, he would not be able to sit there anyway.

As for the position of the head coach of Guping Camp, there is no chance to be directly promoted from the third-class Wuweibo to the third-class Wuweihou.

Although he worked hard by Lu Min's side in those years, but for other military generals who followed Lu Min, Ning Zhong's rise to power was still difficult to understand. This person was greedy for money and lust, after all.

It is difficult for a military commander without weaknesses to be taken seriously by others. The most important thing is that his abilities are very ordinary and he is simply not qualified for the position of the head coach of Guping Camp.

No one knows what considerations Lu Min had in making this decision.

But for Ning Zhong, he felt that everything came naturally.

After sitting as the head coach of Guping Camp for four years, he became increasingly domineering and tough. After hearing Pei Yue's sudden taunt, his eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he said every word: "Do you know what you are doing?"

Where?"

Before the words were spoken, Ning Zhong's soldiers took a step forward in order.

Pei Yue waved his hand, signaling to the generals behind him not to be nervous.

He looked at Ning Zhong calmly and said with a smile: "Commander Ning is planning to murder the imperial envoy?"

Ning Zhong said coldly: "Don't spit on others."

Pei Yue ignored him and turned to the soldiers and said, "Are you planning to rebel? Then behead your whole family and implicate the nine tribes?"

Ning Zhong was very generous to these soldiers and never deducted money. However, he had a bad temper and often beat and scolded him, so he was very unpopular. Even if Pei Yue didn't speak, the soldiers were just pretending. How dare they really do it?

Attack the imperial envoy. At this moment, hearing those cold and cold words, they no longer had any courage in their hearts, and they all bowed their heads and retreated.

Ning Zhong couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment. He looked directly at Pei Yue and was about to get angry.

Pei Yue shook his head slightly and said: "Okay, there are no outsiders here, why do you insist on putting on a show? Even if these soldiers, including tens of thousands of troops in the village, obey your orders, do you dare to kill me? Even if you really have the courage,

Guangping Hou Guliang will let it go

You? Taishitai Pavilion Silent Cloud will let you go? Will His Majesty let you go? Even if I am your backer, no matter how much Cheng'an Hou Lu Min hates me, he will definitely cut you and your family into pieces and give it to Your Majesty and Manchu.

Do you believe me if I give an explanation to the civil and military officials?"

Being threatened so directly by a viscount who was only seventeen years old, Ning Zhong's expression was naturally extremely ugly, but for some reason the anger in his eyes gradually disappeared.

Because he understood the reason why Pei Yue was so confident. To put it bluntly, this matter was just a verbal dispute. His proposal was just to take advantage of Pei Yue's youth. However, he would not really kill the imperial envoy just because of a few taunts.

His head has never been kicked by a donkey. Apart from that, he has no way to control Pei Yue.

After all, he doesn't know the true relationship between Pei Yue and Qin Xian.

However, even though he had figured this out, it was difficult to change his attitude immediately. Ning Zhong felt that he could not afford to lose that person.

Seeing that he was silent, Pei Yue said calmly: "So the meaning of what I said just now is very simple. If you send troops to protect Jiming Village, I will mention your name on the military merit memorial to repay your favor.

You have your own plans for the confrontation with the Xiwu army. I do

I have no power to interfere in military affairs. But I hope you can remember one thing. The nine military strongholds are a vital link in the defense system of the Western Region. If you watch them fall and fail to defeat the Wu army in the end, what will your Majesty do?

You, think about it carefully."

Ning Zhong's face turned red, but he had nothing to say to refute.

"puff."

Chen Xianda couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wei Rui glared at him fiercely for the first time, with a look of frost on his face.

Pei Yue seemed not to hear the sudden laughter and continued to say to Ning Zhong: "Commander Ning, the Xiwu people have just suffered a major defeat and will not attack Jiming Village for at least the next two days, so I hope you can arrange reinforcements immediately. Two

A thousand men may not be enough, but at least two thousand infantry and fifteen hundred archers are needed. In addition, all kinds of city defense equipment and food, grass and ordnance must be sufficient."

"Don't forget what you promised me." Ning Zhong said solemnly.

Pei Yue nodded and said: "I have never done anything treacherous. Even if Marquis Cheng'an comes face to face, he will not doubt my integrity. In addition to Jiming Village, the guard of Xishui Village in the south, Gu Chongshan, is quite talented.

This time I forcibly recruited his 500 cavalry, which might damage the defensive strength of Xishuizhai, so I also asked Marshal Ning to send 1,000 infantry and 500 cavalry southward for support to prevent the Western Wu people from taking a detour to the southwest."

Seeing that Ning Zhong was not angry, he said sincerely: "Commander Ning, don't worry. After the reinforcements and supplies arrive, the battle memorial will be sent to Kyoto immediately. At least in your Majesty's eyes, it can block the first wave of the Xiwu people's offensive, and Wuwei

Hou also has a share of the credit."

Except for Pei Yue's cold and stern attitude at the beginning, his attitude was always calm and did not show off his power, so Ning Zhong could still hold on, especially after hearing the last sentence, his expression softened slightly.

"Call Long Chi here!" Ning Zhong ordered the soldiers.

Until this moment, it seemed that he was seeing Pei Yue for the first time. He squeezed out a smile and said: "Pei Qin Envoy, please sit down. Come and serve tea."

Pei Yue nodded in agreement and sat on the left side of Ning Zhong, neither humble nor arrogant.

Wei Rui and others stood behind him, looking calm and collected. Even Chen Xianda tried his best to suppress the impetuous atmosphere on his body.

Ning Zhong had mixed feelings in his heart. How could he not see the power of this young powerful man at this moment?

He will fall out whenever he wants, but he will not act impulsively and his blood will surge up. He can be said to be able to take things up and put them down, and his Qi nourishing skills are astounding.

He couldn't help but think of when he was seventeen years old. Although his eyes were higher than the top of his head these years, he had to admit that he was a little worse than Pei Yue now. Thinking about the relationship between Pei Yue and his backer, he was not worried about Lu Min.

, after all, he is the second person in the military in Daliang, a real military boss, and he will not fall into the hands of a young boy.

It wouldn't work even if Pei Yue started practicing from his mother's womb.

What he was worried about was Lu Jiang's stupid young man. If the two of them really faced off alone, wouldn't they be played to death by Pei Yue?
