PS: You pay for monthly tickets, and I will pay for updates! Chapter 781 Begging for a drink Jin An surrendered like this. It turned out that Du Mu, who was sent by Ning Hao to persuade Fang Jie, went back and spent a day to convince Ning Hao. What prompted Ning Hao to decide to open the door and surrender was Du Mu's last words City Lord, if you firmly believe that Murong Shai will send reinforcements, your subordinates are willing to climb the city wall to defend with all the people of Jin'an, but will Murong Shai do it? If you lose everything by resisting, why not keep most by giving up? This sentence really moved Ning Hao. After thinking for an hour, he decided to open the door and surrender. In fact, Du Mu was right. If he insisted on resisting, he would not be able to prevent the city from being destroyed. In that case, Fang Jie would have only one choice. He would not be able to tolerate a resisting city lord alive. If you surrender, at least you can save your family and your family business. Although, there are certain risks. What is lost is the position of city lord. "Send someone back to tell Wei Xiting to dispatch people to handle Jin'an affairs as soon as possible." Fang Jie gave the order, and the people from the Xiaoqiu School hurriedly sent someone to contact him. Taking down Jin'an without any blood is indeed a good thing for both sides. The Black Flag Army suffered no losses and the people in the city were in good health. So before entering the city, Fang Jie saw Ning Hao prostrating himself on the roadside and quickly walked over and helped him up with both hands. "Thank you, Mr. Ning Hao." Ning Hao kept his head hanging when he stood up. His face was a little red, either from shame or sadness, and he didn't dare to look into Fang Jie's eyes. "I will remember the city's imperialist move." Fang Jie smiled and said to him: "The city lord welcomes the black flag army into the city for the sake of the people of Jin'an. This alone will make the people of Jin'an always remember your benefits. Du Mu should have conveyed my intention to you As long as you abide by the agreement between you and me, I guarantee that your family will have no worries, your family property will still be yours, and the Black Flag Army will not touch a single penny. . But" Fang Jie paused for a moment and then said: "If the city lord feels uncomfortable living in Jin'an, I will also arrange for people to escort the city lord to Yongzhou. Yongzhou is far more prosperous and prosperous than Jin'an, and I will send capable people. Everything has been arranged for the city lord. The beautiful scenery at the foot of Yongzhou Mountain is the best place to live for a long time. It is really a good place. When I first entered Yongzhou, I couldn't help but think that I would be happy to stay there when I settle down and fish in my spare time. "Ning Hao's face changed, and his eyes were filled with fear. "No, no, no I am still willing to stay in Jin'an. After all, I have lived here for so many years. It is familiar and cordial" Before he could finish his words, Fang Jie shook his head and said, "This is also for The city lord considers that the local officials I appointed will take office soon. Once they start to deal with Jin'an affairs, it will inevitably affect your interests. Rather than damaging the hard-won peace due to some trivial matters in the future, it is better to avoid these things from happening. " Fang Jie said as he walked: "I know what you are worried about. I can guarantee you that I will not go back on what I promised. As long as you can be a rich man with peace of mind, no one will touch you. To put it more plainly, you won't I won¡¯t force you to leave and choose to stay in Jin¡¯an, but if there is any conflict between my local officials and you when doing things I will still act in accordance with the principles and will not take sides.¡± This actually means. It's really very simple. What Fang Jie means is that it's fine if you stay. If my subordinates have conflicts with you due to the liquidation in the future, I won't stand on your side at that time. I will naturally take my place. People make the decision. These words made Ning Hao's shoulders tremble involuntarily. "No matter what, I want to thank you on behalf of the Black Flag Army officers." Fang Jie smiled and walked quickly towards the city. Ning Hao stood there in a daze, looking at Fang Jie who was surrounded by generals, his eyes becoming more and more sad. Groups of Black Flag Army soldiers passed by him on the street, and no one noticed this once prominent man standing here, his eyes full of sadness. In fact, he also understood that Fang Jie was already being generous by doing this. If Fang Jie agrees to let him stay in Jin'an, he may be harboring evil intentions. No one wants to have a potential threat on their territory. If they stay in Jin'an, sooner or later they will end up with the outcome they least want to see. "That's it!" He sighed longly, looking lonely. I don¡¯t know when, Du Mu appeared next to him. When Ning Hao saw Du Mu, his eyes immediately widened. He couldn¡¯t help but kicked him, knocking Du Mu to the ground. Du Mu got up, patted the soil on his body a few times and bowed to Ning Hao. "You scumbag who eats everything! It's in vain that I trusted you so much before. I discussed everything with you and didn't hide anything. I gave you everything, but you turned your back on me! If I hadn't given you these things, youNow it's just the useless thing that people in Jin'an City say as a joke! " "No! " Du Mu lowered his head and said: "I have not betrayed the city lord. If I really betrayed you, I will advise the Duke of Zhen to get rid of you! Instead of begging the Duke of Zhen. City Lord you are right, everything I have over the years has been given by you. It is precisely because of such a great favor that I have to think more about the City Lord. " "I don't need you to think about it, and I don't want to see you again in the future! "Ning Hao went up and kicked Du Mu on the shoulder again. Du Mu's body fell back. He got up again and kowtowed three times to Ning Hao. "In any case, the city lord saved the people of Jin'an City, and he also Saved his family's life. In fact, I know that the city lord is kind-hearted. After final consideration, even without my persuasion, the city lord will eventually make this decision. The merits of tens of thousands of people in life and death are also a good thing for the city lord I just want to give the city lord one last word to be a rich man in peace and let the descendants of the Ning family forget the glory of the Ning family having the title of city lord. So Ning The spread of incense in the family brings good fortune and longevity. " "roll! " Ning Hao spat and turned away from Du Mu. Du Mu got up, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then walked towards his home. When he arrived at the door of his home, he hesitated for a while before walking in, thinking of his toughness He felt a little trembling in his heart because he was the one who brought the Black Flag Army into Jin'an this time. With his wife's temper, she might have been ready for a scolding, and maybe she would even attack her. Scratching. Ning Hao rewarded Ning Hao with a lot of things after he made great achievements for him last time. He went home happily, thinking that he could make his wife smile. Who knew that what greeted him was still a scolding. He only retorted a few words, his eyes were filled with laughter. He had been blue for several days. He cautiously stretched his head and peeked into the room. Before he could see clearly, he was pulled in by a hand grabbing the clothes on his shoulder. "Welldon't slap me in the face" He hugged her with both hands. He squatted with his head on the ground, waiting for a storm-like attack. But after waiting for a while, there was no movement. He slowly poked his head out of his arms like a snail, and tentatively looked outside, and then he was frightened. He jumped. Why was that woman looking at him with a smile? Du Mu shrank back in fear, and then he realized that his wife had dressed up deliberately, put on a beautiful gauze dress, and even applied some makeup on her face. , I have never dressed like this since I married her, especially those eyes, how come they are full of tenderness, why are they not violent? "Youwhat do you want to do" "Get up! " His wife pulled him up slightly shyly, holding his arm and walked to the table. Only then did Du Mu realize that the table was full of dishes, which were quite exquisite. "You won't scold me? " Du Mu asked in surprise. "You are the great hero of Jin'an City. Why should I scold you? "The wife smiled softly and pulled him to sit down: "I was not good to you before because I always felt that living by one mouth and flattery is not a good thing. I can't hold my head high in front of others. Everyone openly says that you are a famous person in Jin'an, but who doesn't laugh at you for using your eloquent mouth to cheat your way into gold and silver wealth? You kneel in Qingyuan City, you kneel in Fengping City, you kneel in Peicheng, your spine is bent. But this time today, your spine is straight. You are a hero, you saved the people of Jin'an City! I wonder who will dare to laugh at you in the future? Who dares to look down on you? " "I specially prepared a meal waiting for you to come back. Eat it quickly. " His wife squinted her eyes and smiled, and Du Mu realized that she could be so beautiful! "Well I don't have to sleep in the outhouse anymore? " His wife blushed and nodded. Du Mu jumped up happily and took his wife's hand and ran to the back room: "Then why are we eating? What should you do first? "The curtain fell, and there was a burst of laughter and curses in the room. Five minutes later, "You dare to tear my new skirt, don't you? If I don't give you some clues, you really think I'm easy to bully! Good pout! " Fang Jie ordered two hundred soldiers to escort Ning Hao's family to Yongzhou. There were too many things to pack in the huge city lord's palace. Fang Jie ordered his people not to rush or be rude. Ning Hao left Jin'an. It is the most correct choice. Fang Jie can keep his family safe, but it is impossible for him to continue to stay in Jin'an. Ning Hao has too much influence on Jin'an. In the future, local officials will inevitably have too many constraints if they want to do things. "Chen Xiaoru" Fang Jie. After calling out, he walked slowly into the Jin'an government office. In the study room of the government office, Fang Jie took a look at Chen Xiaoru who followed him.??What are your instructions? " Chen Xiaoru asked. Fang Jie was silent for a while, then pointed to the stool in front of him: "Sit down first. " Chen Xiaoru leaned forward and sat down, waiting for Fang Jie to continue speaking. "It was Luo Weiran, the commander of the Ouchi Guards Department, who sent you, Nie Xiaoju, and Yan Kuang to come to me. In a daze, several years have passed. Over the years, you have made me most at ease in your work, you are steady and down-to-earth, and you have a clean mind. Fang Jie said slowly: "So, I didn't want to have this conversation, because I trust you and I always feel that there is no need to say this." But after talking to Wu Yiyi yesterday, I suddenly realized that if I don't talk about some things openly, I will feel resentful. I don't want there to be any estrangement between you and me. It's precisely because I know your character and trust Nie Xiaoju and Yan Kuang that I mentioned this. " He asked: "Luo Weiran, have I looked for you? " Chen Xiaoru's expression immediately changed. He stood up and knelt down after being stunned for a moment: "This subordinate is guilty and the crime is unforgivable! " "Get up." Fang Jie went over and took his arm to help him up: "I said, I asked you these questions today because I have never doubted you. Although you are from the Ouchi Guards Department, you are so You have followed me for many years, and I believe the feelings between you and me have not changed. "My lord" Chen Xiaoru's face turned pale and he said: "Commander Luo did find his subordinates My lord treats me well. I should have informed my lord of this matter early, but I am worried" "I Know your concerns. " Fang Jie smiled: "I'm very pleased that you didn't hide anything from me today. I came to you for two things. The first one is already over. I asked and you answered. That is enough. Others don't need to be mentioned. Secondly, you have been with me for so long and have never had a serious official position. I discussed it with the generals and decided to change your position as Commander of the Valiant Cavalry School to Protector of the Valiant Cavalry. You will be given double salary according to the third rank. In addition to the previous authority, In addition, in the future, he will also be in charge of the military discipline of the entire army and enforce strict laws and regulations. " "In addition, the manpower of the Xiaoqi Riding School is not enough now. I discussed it with Taoist Master Xiang Qingniu, and he came forward to recruit the best players in the world to join, and leave it to you. " Fang Jie patted Chen Xiaoru on the shoulder: "Don't think too much. If there is a change between you and me, I will trust you more than before. Chen Xiaoru's eyes turned red and he bowed down again: "My lord, Chen Xiaoru is your subordinate in life and will be your subordinate in death. As long as you point forward, the subordinate will rush forward!" " "I know." Fang Jie smiled and said, "There's nothing else to do. Go ahead. I've taken care of everything tonight. I'll take the generals to ask you for a drink. I've been promoted, so don't be stingy! "
