Xiao Kai's marriage was one of the few great military events in Mucheng. When the alien army was temporarily unable to go south and the White Tiger Army suddenly withdrew to the Central Plains, the arrival of this happy event made everyone feel happy, and Mucheng also had a little more joyful atmosphere.
.
Three days later, Chen Guanxi returned to Mucheng from Lianglang City and brought news about Lang Er.
As expected, Lang Er was well-informed. He said he only heard that there was a mutiny in Longdu City, and Du Shanbo led three thousand light cavalry, one person and two horses, to come to the capital to Qin Wang. Originally, Cao Yan, the commander of the Wolf Guard at Liang Lang Pass, also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get some credit from Qin Wang.
, but was dissuaded by Murong Yan, the Marquis of Yingchuan, who said that the border troops had not received the imperial edict and had left the guard without permission, so they were plotting to rebel and punish them. Cao Yan then stayed behind unhappy.
In addition, Lang Er sent Zhang Xiaowu a piece of news for free. The crown prince was now imprisoned in a temple in Lianglang City and guarded by wolf guards. Du Shanbo gave the prince the hot yam to Cao Yan, but Cao Yan also
Afraid of causing trouble,
He hid the prince very secretly. Zhang Xiaowu smiled slightly, Lang Er even found out the news that Cao Yan hid the prince so secretly. It was Lang Er who was showing his strength. This was a silent expression of cooperation.
meaning.
Hu Sanwan asked curiously: "I don't know what the news about Lang Er's sale means?"
Zhang Xiaowu touched his beard and pricked his hand, and said: "Lang Er knows that I have a grudge against the prince. He wants to use my hand to kill the prince, so he sells me out."
Chen Guanxi also said that after this contact, Lang Er agreed to give priority to selling information to Mucheng. With Lang Er's assistance, the secret battalion's intelligence could cover Saibei, Huizhou and Daizhou, and at least the ability to temporarily protect himself was gained.
.
Hu Sanwan smiled and said: "This wolf's ear has extraordinary abilities, I can't wait."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Lang Er is too mysterious. We don't even know what he looks like. There are risks in this kind of cooperation. When the secret camp is built in the future, Lang Er cannot be used." The two naturally agreed, and Zhang Xiaowu added Li Qing's
When the identity of the Jin Yiwei was revealed to the two of them, Hu Sanwan was greatly worried, saying that the Jin Yiwei had extended his minions to the Mucheng garrison so quickly.
Zhang Xiaowu said: "So don't trust anyone easily. In the future, when you are responsible for intelligence information, you must distinguish right from wrong. Don't trust any news easily."
Hu Sanwan was puzzled: "Sir, in fact we are not capable enough. If snooping and gossiping is okay, we can pry into such confidential matters. If the information is wrong..."
Zhang Xiaowu grabbed his and Chen Guanxi's shoulders and said in a deep voice: "If you are not capable, you can temper them, but the only people I trust are you two."
Hu Sanwan stared at his triangular eyes and was extremely moved. Zhang Xiaowu said: "Wipe the shit out of your eyes, it's so disgusting."
Chen Guanxi nodded desperately.
Hu Sanwan: "..."
Lang Er's information confirmed Zhang Xiaowu's speculation. The most likely cause of the earth-shattering changes in Longdu was the death of the emperor. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaowu felt more and more that a "City Full of Golden Armor" was being staged in Longdu City. He didn't know
Who will be the final winner? They in Saibei will not be affected for the time being, and the soldiers and civilians of Mucheng can still enjoy a short period of peace.
Today's Mucheng seems to be the only place outside the Central Plains Dynasty that has no control over the situation, and the 10,000 defenders of Wooden City have become confused and unorganized soldiers, and they are even just Zhang Xiaowu's private army.
Zhang Xiaowu even felt that they should be regarded as a group of bandits, no, a group of sand bandits, a group of sand bandits eager to return to their country. This kind of treatment is like that of another country on the earth, El Salvador, which is eager to join the United States, but is despised by others.
Zhang Xiaowu sat on a chair and looked up at the sky, thinking about the future and how they would escape after the Inu Yi went south. This army of more than 10,000 people, plus 10,000 people, would be a troublesome place wherever they were placed.
With the arrival of the even colder November of the 29th year of Taigan, thousands of people returned to Mucheng from Lianglangguan and ran to Nantarta herdsmen in Mucheng to avoid the cold. Many vacant houses in Mucheng were also The master.
With more people, there were more things to do. Those who took advantage of fights, those who had family conflicts between the east and the west, and those who complained and petitioned, all fell on Zhang Xiaowu, the city lord.
Zhang Xiaowu was energetic at first and wanted to be an ancient Qingtian grandmaster, so he sat in the Mucheng County government office to solve cases, thinking that he was "Detective Zhang". But after solving several cases involving neighborhood disputes, Zhang Xiaowu He became upset, and this trivial matter made him have a headache. Why did Cheng Chu not encounter such annoying things when he was a garrison officer before, so he encountered many disputes.
An old man hosted a banquet for Zhang Xiaowu and other officers on behalf of the wealthy gentry in Mucheng, thanking them for protecting Mucheng, especially their property. During the dinner, the old man saw Zhang Xiaowu frowning, so he picked up the opportunity and asked, and Zhang Xiaowu asked the old man. The old man hesitated. He laughed with a beard and said: "Don't you know how to bow to everything and feel exhausted all the time? A county government still has a team to handle civil, political, military, criminal, and internal affairs. Do you want to do everything yourself?"
Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly shook his head: "Even with my three heads and six arms, I can't handle so many things."
The old man said: "So your Excellency needs some civil servants to handle this matter. Previously, General Cheng handed over the matter to Zhou Canjun, who is also the magistrate of Mucheng County. It seems to me that your Excellency only has military generals and no civil servants around him, so he has no one who can handle political affairs." Civilian Sasuke, right?"
"There is one, but he's not here." Zhang Xiaowu suddenly missed Wu Song, thinking that Wu Song and others had been away for three months, and he and Zhao Suo should be buying land in Yangzhou at this time.
Back at the house, Zhang Xiaowu saw Mang Zhong sleeping next to the table in his room, drooling all over his sleeve. He couldn't help laughing and pushed her twice, but the little girl didn't wake up.
"This little black girl, she sleeps so soundly." Zhang Xiaowu carried her to his bed in the outer room, covered her with a quilt, and couldn't help but tugged on her braid. Mang Zhong suddenly hugged his head, like a nightmare He murmured: "Don't hit me, don't hit me, I'm going to boil water, I'm going to work, don't hit me, please don't hit me."
Zhang Xiaowu's smile condensed. He watched Mang Zhong huddled up in the bed with fear and trembling, and quietly caressed her back, just like comforting the old cat at home when he was a child. It took a while before Mang Zhong stopped trembling. After falling into a deep sleep, he tried Manzhong's forehead and found that he had a fever.
"This little girl must have fallen asleep cold while waiting for me." Zhang Xiaowu asked the doctor to be summoned. After seeing it, the doctor said that he had a febrile disease due to evil spirits entering his body and needed to rest for a few days. Looking at this little black The girl's face turned pale due to illness. Zhang Xiaowu felt distressed and said that you would also be sick. Mang Zhong didn't have the energy to talk back and could only roll his eyes in protest.
Zhang Xiaowu felt that this little girl was not like his maid, but more like his sister. Maybe it was because her eyes were very similar to Jiu'er's, so he was particularly doting on her.
In order to take care of the mango, a few old mother hired the house. With the old mother, this defensive mansion is more like a Grand View Garden.
At that time, Guan Cheng took Li Xun to come and urged to suspend the scout investigation during this time.
