In the Yangxin Hall, Guo Xie bowed and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, my spies from Shang Yu's reserve office have now developed and penetrated into the southwest counties of Xia Kingdom. However, because the time is still short, I cannot ignore the manpower of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy in the southwest. Therefore, now, I Shang
The Yu Bi Department can only ensure that any changes in the southwest counties can be delivered to His Majesty as soon as possible..."
Having said this, Guo Xie paused and continued:
"But please rest assured, Your Majesty, now that Yiwei envoy Zhong Zizuo has been successfully transferred to the deputy envoy of the southwest counties of Xia Kingdom after working in the Xia Kingdom's court, from now on, our spies from Shangyu's backup office will be able to use the help of Xia Kingdom's secret agents
The Southwest Transfer Department Yamen has penetrated into the Xia Kingdom's officialdom!"
Zhong Zizuo was the former prefect of Fengzhou. However, at this time, he had already become the Yiwei envoy of Nianganzhu. He received the salary of Nianganzhu and became one of Xiao Cheng's subordinates in the Xia Kingdom's court.
A nail.
And this so-called "Southwestern Counties Transportation Department Yamen" is an yamen established by the Xia Kingdom Chaotang to supply food and grass supplies to the army in the southwest of Xia Kingdom, managing water, land and other transportation channels. Although the official position is not large, it is
An extremely important and critical position.
In order to help Zhong Zizhuo obtain this position, Niangan Chu spent a lot of effort and cost to help him obtain it.
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he said in a deep voice:
"Where's the East Factory?"
Feng Bao on the side quickly bowed and said:
"Back to Your Majesty, according to your instructions, Dongchang is already deploying manpower to prepare for the Li Chao side. Now, more than 80 capable people have just been selected and are preparing to take action."
Xiao Cheng nodded slightly and said:
"The situation in the Li Dynasty is different from that in the southwest counties of the Xia Kingdom. The political situation in the Li Dynasty is relatively stable, but the Shangyu reserve department does not have enough manpower and the methods are too crude, so I need you to be more attentive in Dongchang!"
Dongchang focuses on gathering intelligence, while Sticky Stick is better at killing people.
It just so happened that in the southwest counties of Xia Kingdom, Xiao Cheng wanted to stir up unrest, so Sticky Post was more suitable. On the other side of Li Dynasty, Xiao Cheng needed to provide intelligence support for future plans, so Dongchang was more suitable.
When Feng Bao heard this, he immediately bowed and said:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded and said nothing more, but his face remained solemn.
Now that the peace talks between the three countries have just been signed, the situation in the world is extremely stable on the surface, but the fights between them have turned to the dark side.
Nowadays in Zhongqing City, several people with unknown origins and strange whereabouts can be found every day in the East Factory and Guangan. And these people are either the direct envoys of the Xia Kingdom, or the officials of the Li Dynasty.
official.
Zhishi Xiuyi has said it before, so I won’t say more here.
As for the signature school official of the Li Dynasty, even though his name sounds like he is a minor official who handles official documents.
But in fact, this was an organization that the Li Dynasty obeyed the king of Li Dynasty and was responsible for monitoring the words and deeds of Li Dynasty's civil and military officials, relatives and princes. It also had the right to plant spies into the clan and officials' homes.
The situation is secretly turbulent, and Xiao Cheng has a sticky point in his hands. The two organizations in the East Factory are also stretched due to insufficient development time.
Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng suddenly had a thought in his mind.
In the sight that no one could see, a huge golden turntable suddenly appeared.
Maybe, in this February lottery, I can draw some useful cards?
The next moment, the roulette wheel began to rotate slowly.
The four kinds of light, gold, purple, blue and white, continuously emit various colors of light as the turntable shakes.
Suddenly, one of the training cards flashing with blue light caught Xiao Cheng's attention. The words "Jinyiwei" appeared on it, making Xiao Cheng's eyes suddenly brighten.
But unfortunately, as the turntable continued to rotate, the blue light gradually became dim.
The turntable did not stop, but continued to rotate.
When Xiao Cheng saw this, he couldn't help but shook his head with some regret.
[Jinyiwei] Although this training card is only blue, it will definitely be more helpful to Xiao Cheng at this time!
It's a pity that I didn't get it.
And in the sight that no one could see, the huge turntable continued to rotate, and finally stopped slowly.
The next moment, a mighty and dazzling purple light suddenly filled Xiao Cheng's entire sight, making Xiao Cheng suddenly excited.
This seems to be less than the guaranteed number of times...
At this time, Xiao Cheng subconsciously looked at the "Heavenly Favorite" skill on the golden finger panel.
Last time, it was because of this skill given by this world that Xiao Cheng successfully drew his first gold card.
But since that time, the seven-colored light that originally circulated on this skill suddenly became gray and dim, as if all the energy was exhausted at once.
Although after a period of time, Xiao Cheng could feel that this skill was not a one-time thing, the energy was gradually recovering, and some of the brilliance of the skill was gradually restored.
But just looking at the magic on it now, it seems that it has not recovered enough to affect Golden Finger.
Could it be that my luck has changed recently?
Xiao Cheng's eyes were bright and he couldn't wait to look at his third purple card.
In the purple light, the card effects suddenly emerged.
[Purple training card, Master of the Ming Dynasty.
Card effect: After use, it will have Liu Bowen, Zhu Sheng, and Yao Guangxiao. (Special effect, the prince will be taught by three people, and his ability value will immediately +5)
Card description: Loyal to the precious blood, lay the foundation for the bright sun and moon!
Liu Bowen was a sincere uncle in the Ming Dynasty. He was knowledgeable about heaven and man, talented in both civil and military affairs, and was able to pacify Yu Nei with his clever plans.
Martial power 23, Literature 88, Wisdom 96, Morality 90, Age 36, Dominance 59, Politics 92, Charisma 80, Loyalty 100, Ambition 7
Zhu Sheng, the founding advisor of the Ming Dynasty, formulated the ritual and music system and put forward the nine-character policy of "build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and slowly become king".
Force 7, Literature 92, Wisdom 75, Morality 90, Age 51, Dominance 21, Politics 68, Charisma 68, Loyalty 100, Ambition 1
Yao Guangxiao, the Duke of Rongguo in the Ming Dynasty, was proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and had a magnificent palace. During the Jingnan Campaign, he guarded Peiping and strategized, and was known as the Prime Minister in Black.
Force 77, Literature 89, Wisdom 90, Morality 55, Age 44, Dominance 80, Politics 91, Charisma 70, Loyalty 100, Ambition 72]
After Xiao Cheng saw clearly the special effects of this card, his brows suddenly raised.
Well, there is no prince...
But that's not important!
Liu Bowen, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, was able to preserve himself and his family under the hands of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Among the ten folk anecdotes, at least four can be related to him.
In the eyes of the common people, they are the kind of immortal-like beings who know astronomy from above and geography from below, and are able to strategize.
There is also Yao Guangxiao. Although he is a monk, he has triangular eyes, the shape of a sick tiger, and a murderous nature.
Under his strong encouragement, Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, launched the Jingnan Campaign. When Zhu Di encountered a desperate situation, he used various means to boost morale and was known as the first hero of the Jingnan Campaign.
It can be said that it is not against the law to put these two people into the golden training card!
Xiao Cheng can form the Jin Yiwei himself. If he doesn't have suitable spy talents, Xiao Cheng can also recruit and train them himself. It's just that the cost of manpower and material resources will be higher.
Compared with these two people, those costs are obviously not that important.
but……
Xiao Cheng looked at the special effects of this card and frowned.
Isn’t this special effect a bit wasteful?
Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng looked at the few official documents he had left with the help of the cabinet walkers. Suddenly he raised his eyebrows, stood up with a slap on his thigh, and said to the two of them:
"I'm a little tired, so I'm here today!"
When Feng Bao and Guo Xie heard this, they immediately looked at each other.
-----------------------
At this time, in the southwest of Xia Kingdom, in Fengzhou City.
The elite border troops of the Xia Kingdom, dressed in armor and wearing masks covering their mouths and noses, slowly withdrew from Fengzhou City.
Under the cold scolding of the military general, the soldiers immediately stepped forward and sealed the four gates of Fengzhou City tightly.
In Fengzhou City, the reputation of Xia Guochaotang was already bankrupt.
Seeing this abnormal situation at this time, the people in the city did not know what was going on. They only knew that these Xia army soldiers wanted to seal themselves and the people in the city into a panic.
A group of people, shouting, yelling and making noisy noise, kept crowding towards the city gate.
What greeted them were standing tall spears with cold gleams, as well as the indifferent eyes of the Xia Army soldiers. Whenever anyone dared to move forward boldly, Xia Army soldiers would stab them with their spears.
There was only a sound of spears piercing the flesh and blood of the chest. The common people who had the courage to attack the military formation immediately left the corpses and wounded behind and retreated in panic.
Suddenly, the sound of screams echoed in Fengzhou City again.
This scream brought back the memories of the people in the city of the original war. Suddenly, the sound of wails, curses and screams resounded throughout the city.
On the river in the distance, several large ships carrying the flags of "Daxia Southwest Transfer Department Yamen" slowly stopped.
Zhong Zizuo walked out of the cabin and looked at Fengzhou City, where the screams were heard in the distance. He frowned and said sternly:
"What happened to Fengzhou City? Send someone quickly to investigate!"
Not long ago, Zhong Zizuo was the governor of Fengzhou, so he could not have no feelings for Fengzhou. Fengzhou was the place that suffered the most military disasters before, and now it is even more strange. Zhong Zizuo is naturally a little worried.
Upon hearing this, an official from the transportation department immediately stepped forward, bowed to Zhong Zizuo, and said:
"Deputy Envoy Zhong, the border troops have blocked water transportation and prohibited everyone from approaching Fengzhou City!"
Zhong Zizhuo frowned and said angrily:
"What do you mean? What happened in Fengzhou City?"
"The news came from the border army that there was a plague in Fengzhou City."
The officer's words immediately made Zhong Zizhuo freeze.
"What? Plague! Why is there a plague in Fengzhou City, which is so good? Didn't the border troops clean up the city when they entered the city before? What do they do to eat!" Zhong Zizuo grabbed the subordinate officer and said angrily.
The subordinate officer was a little helpless, but he also knew that his new Shangguan had served as the governor of Fengzhou, so he could understand and said quickly:
"The people in the city had nothing to eat after the military disaster, so they ate carrion, which caused the plague to breed. Now, the plague is rampant in the city and cannot be controlled. In desperation, the border troops had to blockade the entire Fengzhou city..."
Zhong Zizuo's face turned red and he looked very angry. He gritted his teeth and asked:
"How long has it been since the plague happened?"
When the official heard this, he was stunned, shook his head and said:
"The border army didn't say anything, but it seems that it has been around for some time."
Zhong Zizhuo's face suddenly turned extremely pale and he said feebly:
"Fengzhou, Fengzhou City! The Yangtze River water transport hub, the place where the southwest waterway must pass. In such a place with developed water transport, the plague may have spread before it was discovered by the border troops stationed..."
As soon as these words came out, all the transshipment officials on the ship suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter, and their faces became extremely pale.
At this moment, several civil servants following Zhong Zizuo quietly looked at each other, and they all saw the solemn expression in their eyes.
One of them suddenly coughed slightly, as if to remind Zhong Zizuo.
At this moment, Zhong Zizuo suddenly regained his senses and immediately said to the officials:
"First find a place to dock and send someone to send a message to the imperial court and the various state and county officials!"
"Yes!" All the officials responded immediately.
The boat moved towards the shore and stopped on the riverside.
Several officers from the Operations Department carried official documents on their backs, led their horses, and returned to the shore by boat. They immediately dispersed, each working hard to deliver the news.
And among this group of officers, one of them waited until the officers disappeared from sight, then suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped away in the direction of Yun Kingdom.
--------------------------
The capital of the Li Dynasty, in Thang Long Palace, the place where the royal family and the ancestral temple of the Li Dynasty were located.
Aohou Lihu, who had just returned to the capital, did not even go to Li Weining, but hurried to the ancestral temple and asked to see him.
One of the Nine Ministers of the Li Dynasty, Fengchang Ruan Ti, saw Li Hu coming to ask for an audience. He immediately dismissed everyone and personally led Li Hu to the main hall of the ancestral temple.
In the main hall of the ancestral temple dedicated to the kings of the Li Dynasty, the statue of Li Xing, the ancestor of the Li Dynasty, with a wide robe and a high crown, sitting on a throne, is erected in the center of the hall. The statues of the kings of the Li Dynasty are divided into groups.
Arranged beside him.
Li Hu immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly:
"Li Hu of the clan, please see our ancestor!"
The sound echoed in the main hall, and together with the statue of the god overlooking the hall with an inexplicable expression, it gave people a strange feeling.
The next moment, a light inexplicably lit up behind the statue. It was like a divine light shrouding the statue, giving it a more mysterious feeling.
Li Hu pressed his forehead firmly to the ground, his voice trembled slightly, and he said:
"Li Hu did things poorly, resulting in heavy manpower losses. Please punish me, ancestor!"
After a moment of silence, a sound that was so ethereal and unreal that people could not tell where it came from suddenly sounded in the hall.
"You did have some disadvantages when you were on your mission to Yun State this time. But since you successfully controlled Taiwei Chen Feng and took control of the army this time, I will not hold you accountable for your crimes!"
Li Hu's lowered eyes closed slightly, and continued to look frightened, and said loudly:
"Thank you, ancestor!"
The illusory voice paused for a moment, then suddenly said in a deep voice:
"The previous mission did not even see the young emperor of Yun State. This time, have you ever met the young emperor of Yun State in person?"
Li Hu heard this and immediately said:
"Back to my ancestor, I saw it this time!"
"Draw a picture, I want to know..."
What did he want to know? Why did he suddenly want to know the appearance of Emperor Yun, and even draw a portrait himself?
Li Hu's eyes flashed, and he pondered in his heart, but his voice was still so frightened, and he said:
