    Two hundred and nine: Prepare for magic

    He thought so, but Meng Ju's face was still very serious - he didn't want Wang Jiu to feel that he could be forgiven easily.  Being arrogant while serving favors is the most common mistake for people around the superiors. It is always right to give Wang Jiu a beating to guard against the slightest mistakes.

    "Wang Jiu, tell me why you did this!"

    Wang Jiu raised his head, his forehead was covered with blood and flesh. He was shaking, but his voice was still clear: "Sir, I did something wrong because of my stupidity. You can punish me however you want, but you must not drive me away."  Ah! If I were driven away from the adults, I would rather die!"

    "Get up and talk. Tell me, what is going on?"

    Wang Jiu glanced at Meng Ju secretly, only to see that Governor Meng's face was still ugly, but his expression was much calmer. He calmed down and spoke hesitantly.

    It turns out that shopkeeper Du brought Ouyang Qingqing to see Meng Ju that night. Wang Jiu was also waiting outside the door and heard their exchange.  Such a gorgeous beauty came to his door. When Wang Jiu heard it outside, he wanted to rush in and agree for Meng Ju. But in the end, Meng Ju refused. Wang Jiu stamped his feet anxiously outside, thinking about Meng Zhen.  Could it be that the governor is out of his mind today?  Such a beautiful beauty, others would snatch her over her head, but he even pushed her away when she came to her door!

    Then, Meng Ju left because of Luo Jing's urgent report, and Wang Jiu sent Ouyang Qingqing back - it was also Meng Ju's fault that the instructions were vague, saying that Wang Jiu should send Ouyang Qingqing to a "safe" place.  So Wang Jiu pondered on the side: Is this a hint given to me by the governor?  Who wouldn't like such a beautiful woman, but the governor wouldn't accept her? This is too abnormal.

    He thought, maybe the governor had some reason why he couldn't accept Ouyang Qingqing openly?  Is he trying to avoid someone, so he can only secretly give himself hints to secretly arrange for Ouyang Qingqing?

    In Wang Jiu's view, as a servant, it is natural for him to share his master's worries.

    "The little one was confused for a moment and misunderstood what the adults meant, so he told Miss Ouyang that the adults actually like her very much, but for some inconvenient reasons, the adults can't openly accept her now, so they are temporarily looking for her in the outer courtyard.  Let¡¯s live in a small house first.¡±

    Meng Ju slammed the table and shouted: "Nonsense! How dare you make up my words!"

    Wang Jiu quickly knelt down again: "Yes, yes, yes, the little bastard deserves to be punished for his nonsense!" He slapped himself several times and shouted: "The little bastard deserves to be beaten for making random decisions!  "

    Seeing Wang Jiu acting like this, Meng Ju was so angry that he couldn't let go.  He shouted: "Stop making trouble! If you say that, will Miss Ouyang believe it?"

    "Well, Miss Ouyang was a little doubtful at the time. She said, since the Lord is interested in her, why didn't he tell her face to face? The young one acted boldly and said that the Lord was in some difficulties now and it was not convenient to say it openly now, but the Lord asked the young man to tell this  Thoughts. The little ones are the adults¡¯ confidants, and the same goes for the little ones as they are for the adults.¡±

    "Nonsense! If you say this, Miss Ouyang will believe it?"

    "Well, not only did she believe it, she also seemed very happy and joyful. So, I found a small yard to rent on the West Street outside the mausoleum, and settled Miss Ouyang"

    "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

    Wang Jiu burst into tears and looked very aggrieved: "Master Governor, I told you! The next morning, after I have settled Miss Ouyang, I will come back to you immediately and tell you that Miss Ouyang has been settled.  In the house in the alley next to the West Street, I also said that when you are free, my lord, I will take you over to see her. As a result, my lord, you waved your hand and said I understand. Seeing that you are very tired, you seem to have something important to do.  , I don¡¯t dare to disturb you too much.¡±

    "Have it?"

    Meng Ju frowned and thought for a while, as if this was really the case.

    At dawn that day, Wang Jiu came to him mysteriously and said something - well, it seemed that he had arranged a place for a person to live.  But at that time, I was so shocked by Luo Jing's big event that I discussed it all night with Yi Xiaodao and Xiao Heng. At that time, I was so sleepy that I almost fell asleep. How could I still have the time to listen to Wang Jiu's trivial matters?  I remember yawning and saying that I knew it, and then left - so, was it my fault?

    Seeing the change in Meng Ju's face, Wang Jiu said cautiously: "Governor, what should we do about this matter? How about I go tell Miss Ouyang the truth? Tell her that this is all a trivial matter.  Your misdeeds are none of your business. If Miss Ouyang blames you, I will bear all the blame. What do you think?"

    Meng Ju shouted: "This is just your fault - you make it sound like you are innocent and taking the blame for me!"

    "Yes, yes, the little one is now"??Go over and explain the matter clearly to Miss Ouyang.  .  .  "

    "Huh!" Meng Ju snorted.  In fact, he also knew that it would be better for everyone to end this matter as soon as possible.  But somehow, thinking of Ouyang Qingqing's pretty tearful face that night, he couldn't bear it.

    Seeing Wang Jiu, he was about to go out, but by some mistake, Meng Ju stopped him: "Xiao Jiu, wait a minute!"

    Wang Jiu stopped at the door: "Governor?"

    "Well, let's discuss this matter in the long term"

    Meng Ju turned his face and avoided Wang Jiu's gaze.  He said seriously: "If you suddenly say this in the middle of the night, Miss Ouyang will be very sad. It would be bad if she does something stupid when she is sad so late at night. We still have to think about it first.  A comprehensive approach is needed Let¡¯s slow down this matter for a while.¡±

    Wang Jiu lowered his head, not daring to let Meng Ju see the smile in his eyes.

    "I obey, little one. Then where is Miss Ouyang"

    "Don't say anything to her yet, just treat her as usual. I'll decide how to deal with it later - remember, don't make such random claims next time!"

    "Don't worry, adults, I will never dare to make my own decisions again!"

    "It's not enough to just say it, I have to make you remember it for a long time - go to the Search Division to find Inspector Ningnan, just tell me what I said, and ask him to reward you with ten demerits."

    Wang Jiu's face suddenly fell: "Governor, spare your life. Ten boards are too many. I only have half a life left. Sir, please be tolerant. Five boards No, no, eight boards will do."  ?"

    "Humph, I just need to make you have a longer memory, not even a single memory is missing! Get out of here!"

    Wang Jiu went out with a sad face, but as soon as he went out, a suppressed smile appeared on his face: This is a huge profit!

    ¡° As long as Governor Meng takes Ouyang Qingqing in, she will be the first woman around him, even if she is a concubine.

    In the future, when Ouyang Qingqing knows that she played a role in brokering this matter and was punished by the governor for it, she will definitely be grateful to herself.  With such a person blowing wind on the governor's pillow, his position will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai.

    Wang Jiu even thought that Governor Meng, who was guarding one side at a young age, would open a government office sooner or later. At that time, as long as Ouyang Qingqing said a few words of kindness, he might even be able to become Master Meng's housekeeper.  Woolen cloth!

    Thinking of this bright future, Wang Jiu felt happy - as for the ten big boards as a price, he didn't worry about it at all.  The governor of Ningnan was well versed in human relations and always treated Wang Jiu as brother and brother when he met him. He called him "Mr. Jiu" so affectionately that Wang Jiu didn't believe that he really dared to beat him up.

    After Wang Jiu went out, Jiang Leilei came in and reported that Inspector Xu from the Military Intelligence Department was waiting in the reception room.

    Meng Ju nodded: "Inspector Xu, please come in."

    Xu Long came in and bowed slightly to Meng Ju: "Good night, sir."

    "Inspector Xu, I'm sorry, Inspector Mi Zhen just finished socializing with Chicheng and took care of some housework, so I kept you waiting for a long time."

    "I don't dare to take it seriously. After you go to office, you still have to deal with military affairs. It's really hard work."

    The two exchanged polite words before Meng Ju got to the point: "Inspector Xu, what news did the Military Intelligence Department receive today?"

    It has been a troubled time recently. Due to the loss of important sources of intelligence such as the Imperial Post and the General Administration's notifications, the Dongping Mausoleum Guards have become dark-eyed and can only rely on their own efforts.

    Meng Ju attached great importance to military intelligence work and actively dispatched spies to towns in northern Xinjiang and surrounding provinces and counties to bribe soldiers from the border armies in various places to obtain intelligence. As a result, news from all parties continued to pour in, and the amount of intelligence increased greatly.

    Now, what Xu Long brought out was important information that had been screened and analyzed.  He respectfully spread a stack of documents on Meng Ju's desk: "Governor, there is not much valuable news today, there are only a few.

    A businessman from Shuozhou brought rumors that the Murong family was engaged in a large-scale purge in Gyeonggi and had taken action against many aristocratic families.  Almost all the members of the Tuoba family in Gyeonggi were killed, and only King Qi's family escaped; the Changsun family was exterminated, the Gao family was exterminated, and the Helianqun family was exterminated. The Heba family survived because they surrendered in time.  .  .

    The team directly under the Dongling Wei General Administration was defeated, and Bai Zongzhen also failed and was captured by the Murong family's troops. However, some soldiers from the General Administration still supported King Qi and broke through the encirclement.  .  .  "

    When talking about this news, Xu Long felt uneasy: Governor Meng was a close confidant of Mr. Bai, but I heard that he had a good relationship with the Murong family.  Nowadays, the situation in Luojing is changing, and no one knows where Governor Meng is on.

    Also because of Meng Ju¡¯sHis attitude was vague, so when it came to Luo Jing's news, Xu Long used words very carefully and impartially. He also peeked at Meng Ju's expression from time to time to adjust his tone of voice at any time.

    Now, there is no expression on Meng Ju's face.  He said calmly: "Besides Mr. Bai, is there any news about other officers of the General Administration? Where are the breakout troops of the General Administration retreating?"

    "I'm sorry, Lord Governor. No detailed information has been sent back, so we still don't know."

    Meng Ju sighed: "What a catastrophe! When the official system was changed, many brothers applied to be transferred back to Luojing. Now I'm afraid the situation is worse. Those of us who couldn't find a way to be transferred back, stayed in northern Xinjiang but  I just happened to escape this disaster, it¡¯s really time and destiny!¡±

    Xu Long echoed: "What the governor said is very true, but these days, our northern Xinjiang doesn't seem to be very peaceful. Here are some news, which are not very accurate and need further verification: Huaishuo Fengchuan, among the six Turkic tribes  Ashina Mosu arrived in Huaishuo and held secret discussions with the six-town governor's office"

    "Turkic tribe?"

    Seeing Meng Ju's confused expression, Xu Long reminded him: "Supervisor, the Turks are one of the strongest tribes on the grassland now. They were originally vassals of the Rouran tribe, but during that southern invasion, you, the Superintendent,  Invincible and brave, he severely damaged the Rouran tribe and severely damaged their vitality. During the retreat, the Rouran tribe split into internal strife, and the Turkic tribe took the opportunity to rebel and rise. Now its power cannot be underestimated."

    "Oh, I know." Meng Ju said with a self-deprecating smile: "The Thirteen Demons of the Prairie, I can't remember their names. Those barbarians, I guess they crawled on four legs at home. How could I?"  I remember so much! Xu Long, why did Ashina Mo Yan go to Huaishuo for a blind date? "

    "Our spies couldn't find out about this. Secret room talks are difficult to detect."

    "Any other news?"

    "There's one more thing. The six-town governor's office issued a war preparation order to the border troops in each town. The border troops in Huaishuo, Wuchuan, Woye, Gaoyuan, and Chicheng towns are all mobilizing on a large scale and are working hard -"

    Meng Ju frowned when he heard such important news, but Xu Long put it at the end in an unimportant tone and said that Meng Ju really wanted to beat him up.

    Xu Long was sensible, and when he saw Meng Ju's unkind expression, he quickly explained: "Don't worry, Governor, this matter has nothing to do with us. Tuoba Xiong's preparations for the army should be to deal with the Hu people's autumn hunting - well,  Governor, you have only been in Northern Xinjiang for a year, and you don't know the customs here.

    Every autumn, when the grass is deep and the horses are fat, the Hu people are always used to coming in to thresh the grass and plunder the valleys. This is also the time for the border troops to prepare for routine war.  Normally at this time of year, we in Dongping would always have to fight a few battles with the barbarians.  "

    "Is that so?" Meng Ju was doubtful.  Although Xu Long assured that this was just a routine preparation operation, Meng Ju always felt that something was a little strange.  Just because it was like this in previous years doesn't mean it will be like this this year.  In these troubled times, things have turned upside down in Luo Jing. Will Tuoba Xiong still stay in northern Xinjiang and blow the north wind?

    "Although it has been like this in previous years, we cannot take it lightly. Let's do this. Since the border army is preparing for the Hu, we should not stand idly by. Send an order, just say that in order to defend against the invasion of the Hu in autumn, all the soldiers and horses under Dongling Guards will enter  In a state of alert, all officers and soldiers have canceled their vacations and family visits - we must also be prepared!"

    "This guy is really a coward!"

    Xu Long was slandering in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face: "The governor is wise! It's always good to be prepared!"
