Everyone was shocked. Zhang Xiaowu immediately grabbed the book "Ghost General" in his hand and started reading it in a hurry. Others also gathered around.
After reading only a few pages, Zhang Xiaowu dejectedly handed the book to Wu Song and Ruan Qingwen beside him. He turned around and asked Ji Yushi: "Who flatters me so much? This is a strategy to flatter and kill." He never thought about it.
It was a book written by his old friend Su Yu to give him some relief. I'm afraid if he knew about it, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Su Yu, who was in Longdu City, sneezed, touched his nose and said, "Who is scolding me again? It must be that bastard from the Seventh Prince - no, this scolding seems to have scolded the late Emperor - that Seventh Prince
You bastard, well, it seems you still scolded the late emperor - forget it, their whole family is not a good person."
Su Yu was a disservice and aroused the anger of the emperor and the jealousy of the ministers. As a result, Zhang Xiaowu's four ghost guards were split up, and even Zhang Xiaowu himself was demoted and was exempted from the reward of Marquis of Hejian.
Ji Yushi said slowly: "Because of this book, His Majesty's original plan to grant you the title of Third-Rank Hejian Marquis has been shelved. No one knows who the author of this book is, but I guess this person must want to praise and kill him.
With you. And this person is so familiar with you, he is either your friend or your enemy, and controls everything about you. But this is not the point, General Zhang, mediocre people despise him, and geniuses are jealous of you. With your talent
, you will be jealous wherever you go.”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Master Ji, you deserve the award. It's just a coincidence and luck. What kind of genius is that?"
But Ji Yushi shook his head and said: "It's not a compliment, it's an honest statement. But General Zhang doesn't need to care. What can they do if they are jealous? You have defeated the barbarians and come out on top. Don't you allow others to be jealous of you and say bad things about you? Here you go.
Are you spreading rumors? Can you control what others say? Even your Majesty, let alone you, cannot control what the people say."
Everyone knows that they can't control the mouths of the rumor makers, so they can only watch them ridicule and spread rumors but can do nothing.
Ji Yushang continued: "The Ghost Guards of Northern Saipei made great achievements in opening up and expanding the territory. In the past three hundred years, you were the only army that expanded the territory. Therefore, you only took three years to join the ranks of civilians.
Time has become a general, a deputy general, a lieutenant, a lieutenant, and a lieutenant. Your path is going too smoothly. You only notice the enemy in front of you, but not the enemy behind you."
Ruan Qingwen felt the same and said with a wry smile: "The enemies in front of us may not be able to kill us, but the ones who stab us in the back are in danger."
Everyone fell silent for a moment. Indeed, everyone had been sitting and watching the Zhang Party, Dushan Bo Party, and the Imperial Party fighting in the court, thinking that it had nothing to do with them. Unexpectedly, these three parties actually unanimously spoke to the outside world, which really disgusted everyone.
Ji Yushi continued: "If a person runs too fast, he must stop and take a rest. Everyone, please slow down, slow down, do you believe in your own abilities?"
"Of course I believe it." Zhang Xiaowu said.
Ji Yushi laughed: "Since you believe in your own ability, what are you afraid of? The Ghost Guard is still a Ghost Guard without four generals. The four generals are developing independently, and there are four Ghost Guards again."
Everyone laughed, and Zhang Xiaowu also said loudly: "What Ji Yushi said makes sense. Everyone, let's toast Ji Yushi. I didn't expect that Ji Yushi was a scholar, but his mind was as broad as the sea, and he could see things more clearly than us warriors.
You must understand that on the contrary, we are sticking to the limitations and let’s respect the Imperial Envoy Ji together.”
"please--"
After a banquet that was enjoyed by both guests and hosts, General Zhang Xiaowu arranged for Ji Yushi to stay in the courtyard of the General's Mansion, and then went to the military camp for a tour. When he returned, it was already late at night, and only Guancheng and his personal guards were around to protect and follow him. Guancheng knew Zhang Xiaowu's mood.
It was not good, so they didn't say much. The two of them walked on the road with their guards, and they could only hear the crunching sound of the snow.
After walking a few steps, another snowflake fell and hit Zhang Xiaowu on the face. He smiled, and the snowflake melted immediately. He suddenly asked: "I wonder how the troops in the Epidemic Village are doing?"
Guancheng said: "They have food, drink, and smoke stones to keep warm, so they will have nothing to worry about."
"oh."
"General." Guan Cheng stopped talking.
Zhang Xiaowu said: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly."
"Are we just going to be at the mercy of the imperial court?"
"Otherwise?" Zhang Xiaowu asked, "Can we still rebel?"
Guan Chengdao: "That...can't be...right?"
Zhang Xiaowu smiled faintly and continued to move forward. The Ghost Guard had no intention of rebellion. Although Zhang Xiaowu, as a time traveler, was not loyal to the empire or the royal family, looking at the Ghost Guard soldiers, they were born in the empire, grew up in the empire, and lived in the empire.
In the empire, even though there are all kinds of bad things in the Holy Han Empire, there are very few traitors among the people. Even in the Jiangnan rebellion, they were only rebelling against corrupt officials, not the Holy Han Empire, let alone the royal family.
"Alas..." Zhang Xiaowu let out a long sigh, returned to the general's mansion, and said to Guancheng: "After Xiao Kai and the others leave, you have to take more care of them. You should not do this as the personal guard camp captain."
Guan Cheng was anxious: "General, what did I do wrong? Can't I change it?"
Zhang Xiaowu kicked him and cursed: "You are a wooden head! The ninth battalion of the Ghost Guards is the most useless if you stay in the personal guard camp. After the four of them leave in a few days, you can replace Shen Lindong as the first battalion."
Serve as Captain Sakon in the Reishi Battalion. How do you think you can be lazy? Dream!"
After hearing this, Guancheng asked excitedly: "Should I be the Colonel of the First Battalion Sakon? General, do you want me to be the Colonel of the Ruishi Battalion? Hahahaha..."
Zhang Xiaowu felt that he had made a wrong decision, so he turned around and said, "Forget it, I'll think about it."
"I do, I do! I will definitely do better than Junhou Shen...harder!" Guan Cheng clenched his fists and said excitedly. What else came to his mind, he hurriedly said: "Then who will be the captain of the personal guard camp?"
"Xia Ming."
"Xia Banmian?"
"Who is Xia Banmian?"
"Lao Xia's nickname, isn't he half-faced, so people outside gave him the nickname, Half-faced General."
Zhang Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, then thought that half of Xia Ming's face had been disfigured and now wore a mask all day long, so he nodded and said, "That's Xia Ming."
After returning to the General's Mansion, Zhang Xiaowu washed up a little. At this time, a servant came to report that Hu Sanwan had come late at night. Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly asked what happened, and Hu Sanwan said in a deep voice: "His grandma is a jerk! The one who impeached you
The man, our Confidential Camp has now found out, he is Yingchuan Marquis Murong Yan."
Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said: "I guessed it, there is no one else except him." Hu Sanwan stopped talking, Zhang Xiaowu said: "If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it." Hu Sanwan then said: "A month ago,
Miss Tao found me before she left and left me a letter. She said to me, if Marquis Yingchuan wants to harm you, let me open the letter. If Marquis Yingchuan will not harm you, then don’t let him.
I opened the letter. She said that it was of great importance and anyone who read the letter would be killed. She asked me to keep it carefully and give it to you in an emergency."
