After simply greeting everyone loudly, he asked the shopkeeper to arrange a banquet and chatted while eating. The inn I booked only booked all its rooms. I didn't deliberately ask the boss not to allow those who came in to eat. Moreover, it was evening and there were many people eating. But today, all the diners stared blankly at our table. Jing'er, Zhou Nuo and Liu Ruyan are all top-notch beauties, and each has their own style. Jing'er, because of her martial arts training, She can't help but have that kind of heroic spirit in her body. Zhou Nu is a royal princess, and her every move and gesture naturally reveals the nobility and elegance of the royal family. And Liu Ruyan is a talented woman, her movements are smooth and flowing, and she naturally has a certain kind of talent. An unearthly temperament. Moreover, everyone at the table was acquaintances, so it was inevitable that they would tell jokes. For a while, the three women kept laughing, which made many people present dumbfounded. I also learned about the general situation in the capital from their mouths. It turned out that I was afraid that the negative impact of the incident at the shop and the kiln would affect the impression of the Siyun Chamber of Commerce among the people in the capital, but I really did not expect that the impression would not be lost. On the contrary, there is an increasing trend, which makes me somewhat overjoyed, and also makes me determined to speed up the Chamber of Commerce's march into the capital, because in five months, I will go to the border with the replacement troops, and the capital will still be the business of the Chamber of Commerce at that time. It hasn¡¯t been dealt with yet, and I can¡¯t walk without feeling steady. I also asked about the conditions of those workers in detail, and Liu Ruyan and others also visited those inns when they were here, so they knew the situation there: all the workers had basically been treated, and their condition is now relatively stable. Doctors visit the inn every day to treat patients as soon as possible. I feel more relieved after hearing this. The Chamber of Commerce owes them a lot, and this responsibility cannot be shied away from. I plan to wait until they are all stable and arrange a boat to transfer them to Shanling, where there will be a dedicated place and it will be easier to take care of them. As for the situation here, I sent someone back to Shanling overnight yesterday. In addition to a detailed explanation of everything happening in the capital, I also ask for a thorough investigation of all kilns and shops outside the Chamber of Commerce. We will never tolerate similar situations. Later Yang Kaiwu also told me that all the two thousand elite soldiers selected by the Ministry of War for me had been mobilized and arranged in the military camp in the north of the city. You can pick it up tomorrow. As the commander of these two thousand soldiers and horses, I will have absolute command authority over these soldiers, and I can also train them myself. Yang Kaiwu also received permission from his father to serve as deputy general under me. I was overjoyed after hearing this. After all, I was now a general. Although the two thousand troops were a bit small, for now, I was still very satisfied. And you can train by yourself. As for sword skills, the bloody sword skills I learned are very suitable for fighting in battle. There are more than a dozen brothers in the village and some people will come over to teach them. However, there are some troubles with the weapons. At worst, I will reach out to the emperor and ask for it. Our Siyun Chamber of Commerce has not paid less in taxes these years, so if you want weapons, you should still pay for them! As for the training method, if it doesn't work, I'll just move here. Anyway, these two thousand people are regular troops, not special personnel like Mingya. But what Yang Kaiwu said was specially selected for me by the Ministry of War. I felt a little uncomfortable. The person who wanted to read my book yesterday was Gu Jingde, the minister of the Ministry of War, and his son was the boy who was disrespectful to Jing'er at the beginning. . Now I am under someone else's roof, and the roof is too short. If I don't lower my head, I will hit my head! After thinking about it, I will talk about the specific situation tomorrow after seeing it, so after dinner, I didn¡¯t ask Yang Kaiwu more about this issue. Instead, I arranged everyone in the yard behind and called a group of people to eat. The brother who had eaten dinner blocked the entrance to the yard. In just one meal, the Ruilai Inn, which is usually full of guests, was actually full, and there was a trend of more and more people arriving. Moreover, when these people came, they did not order food, but just asked the children to take pictures, and then their eyes I was staring blankly at our table. In order to prevent the furious Jing'er from picking up the sword and killing people regardless of her image, I had to make this move. As for the drinkers, when they saw a group of fierce people blocking the door, they could only give up their thoughts and go to eat obediently. Everyone in the backyard also started talking and laughing, and gradually the current situation in the capital was brought up again. As far as the big families are concerned, the most powerful one now is the Chai family, whose eldest daughter is now Concubine Lan, also known as the second son. The youngest daughter of the prince's biological mother is Concubine Zhen, who is very favored, but has been relegated to the cold palace. When talking about the second prince, Zhou Nu had a good impression of his brother and said that he had no ambitions. I don¡¯t know the second prince, and it has nothing to do with me whether he is ambitious or not. Anyway, the throne is being fought over and over again, and everyone¡¯s surname is Zhou, not Deng. I¡¯m too lazy to get involved, but Concubine Zhen said something to me when she left the hall that day. I still feel a little unhappy when I think of the fierce glare. I didn¡¯t know that person said: Don¡¯t underestimate a woman¡¯s hatred, it can burn your entire life. And I can be sure that the look she gave me back then was definitely not because I was handsome, personable, young and promising! Everyone was in a good mood at night, so we chatted until very late before leaving. Zhou Nu was protected by the palace guards. I only had to arrange for Jian Rufeng to take a few people to protect Liu Ruyan and Mr. Liu when they went back. Early the next morning, Yang Kaiwu came on horseback.After arriving at the inn, he also brought me a horse. The horse was completely black and tall. When he handed me the reins, he said the horse's name was "Zhui Dian." I gently stroked the horse, and it leaned against me gently with its head, snoring constantly, and scratching the ground with its hooves, as if it wanted me to quickly ride on it and ride with it. Mercedes-Benz-like. Seeing this situation, Yang Kaiwu was stunned, and it took him a long time to envy my good luck. It turns out that this horse was brought to the palace as a tribute a year ago. Because this horse is a good horse, the princes in the palace all want to tame it. However, this horse is very strong and strong. No matter how hard these princes try, it has continued for more than a year. No one has ever actually ridden on its back. At the same time, the tribute horses were generally not equipped with saddles, so the saddles originally equipped for the horses had not been installed for more than a year. Now this horse is useless to the palace, tasteless to eat, and a pity to throw away! At this time, I happened to be short of horses. When Zhou Nu told King Jing, King Jing gave it to me without hesitation as a favor. The strange thing is that when Yang Kaiwu went to the palace to lead the horse this morning, the originally strong horse seemed very calm. Even when Yang Kaiwu carefully put the saddle on the horse's back, it didn't react at all. Yang Kaiwu led it away, and it followed obediently. This surprised Yang Kaiwu. He thought it was the wrong thing, so he asked the groom to identify it. The groom saw it and said it was absolutely correct. At the same time, he was also surprised by the horse's performance today, so he touched it with his hand. Unexpectedly, he was knocked to the ground by the horse as soon as he touched it. If the groom hadn't been used to serving the horse, he would have rolled immediately when he fell to the ground to avoid the horse's high-raised front hooves that were stamping down hard, scaring the groom into a cold sweat. In this way, Yang Kaiwu also confirmed that this horse was that horse, so he led it to the inn. Unexpectedly, when the horse saw me, it was like seeing his own friend, so close! Was this horse's behavior in the stable this morning also because he knew that he was about to change his owner, so he behaved extremely well? This has always puzzled Yang Kaiwu. After listening to Yang Kaiwu's narration, I laughed, patted the horse's head gently, and said with a smile: "Okay! From today on, you will be my good brother, Deng Long! We will live and die together!" And it seemed to understand, and it raised its head and grew taller. hiss. Then he lowered his head and rubbed the horse's head against my body. I smiled again, got on the horse, and shook the reins. And it raised its front legs high, let out a long hiss, and after its front legs landed on the ground, it jumped a long distance with a push of its hind legs. Behind him, Yang Kaiwu was stunned for a moment before he quickly rode up to catch up. Lao San and others also quickly picked up their horses and followed me. According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I will first go to the Ministry of War to report to the Ministry of War, and receive the secret agent from the Ministry of War and the talisman indicating that I have the right to lead troops. With this talisman, I can send someone to command the army when I am in trouble. The first time I went to Gujing Mansion, the reason why I couldn't mobilize the yamen there was because I lacked the command order, which is similar to the order symbols used by the army now, but the objects are different and the number of people under command is different. The Ministry of War and others were right next to the palace, just a wall away from the palace. When I arrived, I found someone waiting at the door. After dismounting, I handed the reins to the guard responsible for reception at the entrance of the military department, and then walked towards the military department with Yang Kaiwu. The waiting officer came up to him, clasped his fists and said, "General, is Mr. Deng?" I nodded and said, "I am Deng Long, who are you?" "Oh!" The man smiled, "Where is the Ministry of War today? Your Excellency has something to do, so I have arranged for my subordinates to wait for you here and go through some handover procedures!" I nodded with satisfaction. Who said that soldiers are all rough guys? This man was very polite. After thanking you, he Follow him into the Ministry of War. After arriving inside, he first confirmed my identity, then took out a copy of the secret service, a token and a general's seal and handed them to me. He signed his name on the secret service. After stamping the seal, I He became a general worthy of the name with military power. Maybe I was too happy. When I signed the contract as a spy, I saw a strange smile on the official's face and didn't think much about it. After signing my name, I took Yang Kaiwu, Lao San and others and ran to the north of the city to accept the contract. My army. After I left, the officers said that there was something wrong and several adults from the Ministry of War came out without knowing it. They looked at each other and laughed. Among them, Gu Renjian smiled at the other adults and said, "I guess Deng Long He will be furious when he sees the elite soldiers we selected for him! Haha!" Several officials nearby also looked happy, as if they saw the man getting furious when he looked at the soldiers.
