Chapter 558 Don't take this revenge, I swear I won't pay it back!
The generals were in a state of excitement, but unexpectedly Xiao Jianshu waved his hands and said with a smile: "In the past few days, we have worked hard to defend the city and worked hard. I have made a decision to reward the three armies today. The generals of each battalion went to the grain officer to receive the reward."
Distribute the wine and meat to all the brothers, and eat and drink it all day long!"
After he made the announcement, all the generals were stunned on the spot. They couldn't believe their ears. It took them a while to realize that they were not going to fight to kill the enemy, but that they were eating and drinking deliciously.
Is this true?
Some of them were already confused and asked: "Sir, are what you said true? Are you kidding?"
Xiao Jianshu looked solemn and said: "When did I make a joke? Today I just eat wine and meat, nothing else!"
Not fighting is already a great good thing for these generals and soldiers. Now that they have good wine and meat, how can they not be happy?
Everyone knelt down on one knee and thanked Xiao Jianshu.
Xiao Jianshu laughed and said: "Everyone, go back and tell your people that you can eat more meat and drink less wine. Although I reward everyone, if someone drinks and causes trouble, Xiao will tolerate him. Military law does not allow it!"
"Here!"
All the generals cheered and saluted each other, then exited the commander's hall and went to receive wine and meat.
Xiao Jianshu saw Ni Jin walking at the end, and then he called out lightly: "General Ni, stay here for now!"
Ni Jin was startled at first, then turned to look at Xiao Jianshu, only to see him looking at him with a faint smile, his eyes seemed to have deep meaning.
He guessed in his mind that the second young master probably had something important to ask of him, so he nodded and stood where he was.
After everyone left, Xiao Jianshu patted Ni Jin on the shoulder and said: "General Ni, although Bacheng is good, it is not as good as Longtai. The general is just staying in Bacheng to join the army. Do you want to follow me when the war is over?"
How about returning to Longtai and becoming a general in Kyoto?"
Ni Jin looked excited when he heard this. He nodded suddenly, but then shook his head for some unknown reason, with a bit of disappointment in his expression.
Xiao Jianshu smiled lightly and said, "Is it possible that General Ni doesn't want to go to Longtai and only wants to stay in Ba City?"
Ni Jin then raised his hand and said: "I am a stupid person. I am grateful for the Lord's promotion, but I can't express it... It's just that although I am determined to be a general in Kyoto, I still..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jianshu interrupted and said: "Ni Jin, you were born as an Orion hunter. Your family is very poor. Your father died early. Now you are the only one in the family, your mother. She lives in poverty in the village and depends on your neighbors for help. Your mother
Only then can we barely survive.
You joined the army when you were young, and although you are no more than twenty-five now, on the battlefield, you are brave enough to kill the enemy, charge forward, and are not afraid of death. Because of your military merits, you have been gradually promoted from a low-level soldier to a soldier in Ba City. Along the way, you are confused.
It’s been thirteen years!”
When Xiao Jianshu said this, he saw that Ni Jin was already crying and his eyes widened.
Xiao Jianshu patted his shoulder and said: "A man won't shed tears easily, but he has not yet reached the point of sadness. Ni Jin, actually I know very well that based on your military exploits, you can actually be promoted to a leading general long ago."
, no matter how bad you are, you can still be the deputy general of a chief general, but you have no one in the army, so this is... yes or no... General Ni, do you feel any grievance in your heart? "
Ni Jin couldn't control himself anymore. He knelt down on one knee and cried and said: "Master! What a status you have, you actually know the life and past of the general. In the general's heart...he has no regrets!"
Xiao Jianshu nodded, helped Ni Jin up, and said energetically: "General Ni, there is a fortune event today, would you like to go with me? After that, Mr. Wen Ruo and I will guarantee you the title of General Hengjiang
!”
When Ni Jin heard this, he looked excited. Although there were tears in his eyes, he clasped his fists and said loudly: "The general is willing!"
Xiao Jianshu waved his hand and said: "Don't rush to answer me. This wealth is not easy to come by, but it is a narrow escape from death. It is very dangerous and may even cost you your life!"...??m
As he said that, Xiao Jianshu looked at Ni Jin with burning eyes.
Ni Jin gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Man, why should you be afraid of death? The general will be willing to do it!"
Xiao Jianshu nodded after hearing this, and then said: "This rich and powerful army is not allowed to use any soldiers who are not under your command. You can only use the Bacheng garrison under your command. If I remember correctly, the garrison at full strength is less than a thousand people."
.....But...the opponent's troops are far more powerful than you...are you willing?"
"The general is willing!"
Xiao Jianshu laughed loudly when he heard this, with a hint of appreciation on his face and said: "General Ni! You are indeed a strong man! In this case, I won't be pretentious anymore. Then please ask Mr. Wen Ruo to explain to you what you are going to do."
Say it!"
Xu Wenruo did not say a word when Xiao Jianshu was talking to Ni Jin. He saw and heard everything Xiao Jianshu said and did. Especially when he heard that Xiao Jianshu treated a low-ranking general
He told Xiao Jianshu a lot about his life experience, which made him look at Xiao Jianshu with admiration, and he felt a lot of appreciation in his heart.
The second young master is indeed a man who knows how to fight. No wonder he has the highest prestige in the army among the prime ministers. He really deserves it!
When Ni Jin and Xiao Jianshu came to him, Xu Wenruo smiled faintly and said: "You two, this move is also a dangerous move. If it succeeds, the siege of Bacheng can be solved. If it doesn't succeed...
I'm afraid that even Prime Minister Jiu Zhang's war situation will be implicated...so I won't say more about the importance of this!"
Ni Jin cupped his fists and said, "Lord, please rest assured, Ni Jin will go through fire and water, even to the death!"
Xu Wenruo then nodded and smiled lightly, and whispered: "In that case, you two can come over here!"
............
After Xu Wenruo finished explaining what he wanted to explain, he specifically asked: "General Ni, please remember that all preparations must be carried out in secret. The selected 500 garrison must be reliable and elite, and there must be no room for anything."
Sloppy, remember, except for those who directly report to you, other people must not let them get the slightest hint of the news!"
Xiao Jianshu also added: "Where is your general? I will go with you for this matter. Don't mess up the rules because of me. I am also a soldier under you, and I must listen to your orders. Don't mess up because of me."
I'm worried about my safety, and I can't mobilize other battalion soldiers because of my participation... The situation is unpredictable now, and Liu Xuanhan has besieged the city for a long time, and there are many people who have changed their minds. It's not that I don't believe them.
, but always err on the side of caution!”
When Ni Jin heard this, he looked solemn and said: "General, I understand! General, I will go and prepare now. If anyone who is not part of the operation knows about this, I will not use this head!"
Xiao Jianshu nodded and said: "In that case, thank you General Ni for your hard work!"
Ni Jin turned around and walked towards the door of the handsome hall. After walking a few steps, he heard Xiao Jianshu's voice coming in: "Oh! By the way, there is one more thing. General Ni's old mother, I have
I sent people to take me to Longtai, and now I have settled down. I just want to wait for General Ni to return in triumph and come with me to Longtai. I also want to visit my aunt in person..."
Upon hearing this, Ni Jin suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Jianshu with an expression of disbelief, only to see Xiao Jianshu standing there with a faint smile on his face, a calm look on his face.
The next moment, Ni Jin couldn't control himself anymore, and suddenly fell at Xiao Jianshu's feet, with tears streaming down his face, and choked up: "Young Master! Your kindness to me is unparalleled! Even my old mother, the Young Master, actually
Such thorough arrangements have been made, and Ni has nothing to offer in return, only eight feet of blood! From now on, Ni’s life belongs to the young master!"
Xiao Jianshu helped him up again and said solemnly: "General Ni's words are serious. Heroes fight bloody battles on the battlefield. I am the son of the prime minister. How can I chill the hero's heart? Don't worry, we still have a long way to go from now on!"
Ni Jin nodded vigorously, turned around and left resolutely without saying a word.
Xiao Jianshu stood there, looking at Ni Jin's retreating figure, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
After a while, Xu Wenruo's voice sounded behind him: "Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir!"
Xiao Jianshu then turned around and said with surprise: "What did Mr. Wen Ruo mean? Why is Jianshu so happy?"
Xu Wenruo smiled lightly and said: "Xu admires the young master's good intentions! What the young master said and did today not only recruited a capable confidant general, but also brought his mother to Longtai. What a plan to kill two birds with one stone."
Xiao Jianshu did not deny it, and said with a faint smile: "Then let Mr. Wen Ruo try to explain something. How did Jianshu kill two birds with one stone?"
Xu Wenruo did not hide it and said with a smile: "This is number one. Wen Ruo has already said that the master has a general under his command. Ni Jin is a man with strong kung fu and fine skills. Given time, he will definitely become one of the generals under the master.
.... Secondly, before we did what we planned, the young master told him about taking his mother and placing her in Longtai. Wen Ruo felt that this was done deliberately by the young master."
Xiao Jianshu smiled and said without denying: "Mr. Wen Ruo has a keen eye. I really can't hide my thoughts from you."
"Her mother is in Longtai. If Ni Jin can be used as a trustworthy person and the young master trusts her, once what we plan is accomplished, the relationship between the young master and General Ni will be a good story. General Ni also treats his mother well because of the young master. What will happen?"
Do you want to die? If Ni Jin is like some people in Ba City, who does treacherous things and talks grandly, but secretly contacts the enemy troops outside the city, the young master's words will immediately kill Ni Jin.
Thoughts, don’t forget that your old mother is there at Longtai in Kyoto... So, isn’t the Young Master’s strategy of killing two birds with one stone a good use?”
Xiao Jianshu laughed, cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Wen Ruo is a great talent! I can't hide anything from you, but I also sincerely do something for people like General Ni who are at the bottom who have been promoted through military service. As for the other things...
.Just going with the flow!”
Xu Wenruo listened, but it was unclear how much he believed Xiao Jianshu's words.
Xu Wenruo suddenly said again: "Young Master, this matter is just as you said, it is extremely dangerous. It is enough for Ni Jin to go alone. Why do you want to go there in person and put yourself in danger?"
Xiao Jianshu came to sit in front of Xu Wenruo, and then said with a sincere face: "To be honest, sir, I must go on this trip. Firstly, this matter is related to the safety of Ba City. If I don't go, I will be really uneasy. Secondly,
Ni Jin is more brave but less strategic, while Liu Xuanhan is cunning. My husband also said that he has experts to help him. I am afraid that Ni Jin will be deceived by them and miss important events!"
Xu Wenruo's eyes flashed and he said word by word: "Then the young master is really not afraid of losing his life?"
Xiao Jianshu didn't answer, just looked up to the sky and laughed.
Then he stood up and walked towards the front door of the handsome hall.
After walking a few steps, Fang said: "I am the son of the prime minister. My father Xiao Yuanche is fighting to the death with Shen Jizhou. The situation is tense. Jianshu had many worries before the war started. Because Shen Jizhou is powerful, My father is in a weak position. Ke Jianshu understands that once a war breaks out, my father, we can only win and cannot afford to lose..."
"Why?"
"My father, Xiao Yuanche, was the Prime Minister of the Jin Dynasty. He was the one who influenced the entire Jin Dynasty. My father was alive, and although the Jin Dynasty was in turmoil, there were still people who knew that there was an emperor in the Jin Dynasty. When my father was alive, the emperor's face could still be preserved to some extent. If it were someone else... would the Jin Dynasty still have a chance to continue the reign of Zuo?" When Xiao Jianshu said this, he didn't mean it. Turning around, his voice was gloomy.
Xu Wenruo couldn't see his expression.
But when Xu Wenruo heard this, his heart was like a river boiling and the sea was boiling, and he could no longer calm down.
"I am the son of the Prime Minister...I must do something for my father and this precarious Jin Dynasty..."
After Xiao Jianshu finished speaking, he paused and said: "Sir, I have been working hard for many days. I won't bother you anymore. There are still big things to do next. I will take my leave..."
After saying that, he walked out of the handsome hall without hesitation and walked away slowly.
Xu Wenruo looked at Xiao Jianshu's disappearing figure without saying a word.
She just looked at him quietly until his figure disappeared from his eyes.
At some point, Xu Wenruo had secretly made a decision in his heart.
