With this in mind, I won’t delay getting down to business.
Guo Ning gathered the young people together and started talking about the rising heat that everyone had seen with their own eyes, and then slowly mentioned the circulation of the atmosphere and the movement of clouds and rain.
If these remarks are heard by Confucian scholars who are well-read in poetry and books, most of them will think that they are just nonsense. Someone might refute them on the spot, forcing Guo Ning to speak out with Tie Guduo. But these young people were originally ignorant, but they were as easy to apply as blank paper; they indeed respected Guo Ning's bravery and regarded him as a role model from the bottom of their hearts. As a result, no matter what Guo Ning said, everyone listened with fascination.
While Guo Ning was telling the story vividly, he took the time to look around.
A moment ago, the knowledgeable disciples lit a pine torch to illuminate it. Children ran from nowhere and climbed on the old trees outside the courtyard. The eyes of the young disciples were sparkling. Even the old scholar Wang Chang showed a look of confusion. Looking thoughtful.
Guo Ning could see this kind of scene every night in the past two months.
Sometimes, he felt downright ridiculous. After all, this scene was so different from the galloping horses and blood-splattering knives he was used to in the past. But he also knew that although this knowledge came from the big dream, it would definitely open the curtain of a new world. Knives and guns are as important as brains.
Outsiders thought that Guo Ning was enjoying his leisure time and was content with talking nonsense with his close followers, but Guo Ning himself never stopped. The situation that was about to overturn at any time was like a whip, whipping his spinning top so fast that he couldn't listen at all.
Guo Ning stood in the crowd and spoke loudly.
However, just as he was getting deeper into his words, rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside. The footsteps came from far to near, stopping at the courtyard door, and then there was a loud "dong dong" banging on the door.
Guo Ning frowned.
Although he was not wearing a military uniform and had no airs at this time, he never slacked off in military law. On the pole outside the Chinese military tent, a human head was hung more than once. At this time, not only the teenagers in the courtyard were quiet, but also the soldiers on patrol outside were all silent, and there was no such thing as the bad habit of the mob making noise and noise.
But now, someone actually barged in so carelessly?
The person responsible for maintaining order was Ni Yi. Without Guo Ning's instructions, he quickly opened the door and went out. After a while, he came back with a strange expression.
He did not approach the crowd, but stood on the inside edge of the door and gestured to Guo Ning.
Guo Ning knew something important was going on. He waved the teenagers to take a break and came to the door.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Master Huifeng said outside that the soldiers on guard duty outside captured a few spies." Ni Yi whispered.
After Guo Ning's rise, the scattered defeated forces near Anzhou were reunited. However, Guo Ning himself had no intention of staying in Anzhou for a long time, so he completely ignored the local tycoons' ready moves. In the past two months, the interlocking situation between various forces has become more and more intense, and spies with ulterior motives are not uncommon.
Guo Ning had already given instructions to kill him if caught. Those spies were all top-notch urban foxes and social rats. It was most appropriate to just chop off the head and throw it into the pond to feed the fish without asking any questions.
He gave orders lightly, and the defeated soldiers executed them swiftly. We are all people who have been through the sea of blood. Killing people is like butchering dogs. It is simply not a problem.
In two months, this was the first time someone came to Guo Ning specifically for spies.
Is it because Monk Luo is a very knowledgeable person?
Guo Ning strode out of the hospital: "What's wrong with the spy?"
Monk Luo looked solemn and lowered his voice: "When a group of four people approached the east bank of the Xiangjun River, two of them were killed directly by our patrol officers. Among the remaining two people, one was injured. The one who was intact claimed to be An Cui Xiannu, a close family member of the state governor Tu Shanhang. Because the patrol officers had seen Cui Xiannu that day, they showed mercy."
Monk Luo was a ruthless man who killed officials and absconded. How could he be so nervous about a mere servant of an official? With Guo Ning's current strength, there is really no need to take Cui Xiannu seriously.
Guo Ning frowned and asked again: "This person is the representative of Tudan Governor. When he comes to feed Junhe, Wang Shixian comes to entertain him. Why is he so secretive?"
"One of Cui Xiannu's servants was shot with an arrow by a patrolling officer. He bled a lot and fainted."
"so what?"
"Cui Xiannu said that the person dressed as a servant is Tu Shanhang, the governor of Anzhou." Monk Luo touched his scalp and said in a dumbfounded voice: "Cui Xiannu also said that the governor of Anzhou, Tu Shanhang, had a sudden idea today. Plainclothes men made an unannounced visit to the Xijunhe camp, so we set off on a quick horse this afternoon and will arrive now."
"hiss……"
The cooperation between Tu Shanhang and Guo Ning was one of the prerequisites for the Xijunhe camp to be calm in the past two months. However, after all, the two families are not from the same family. It is better to keep a respectful distance. Why come here to make an unannounced visit? Why is this governor so frivolous? Guo Ning's teeth were sore for a while.
"Are you sure he is just a single sailor? Did you let..."
"I have asked the soldiers who have followed Wang Shixian to Wocheng County to identify him. Two of Lao Wang's generals have seen it, and they are sure. Lao Wang is on his way, and I think it would be better to let him come forward to contact him."
Guo Ning said "Hey" and when he was about to speak, someone behind him asked: "Is Tu Shanhang's injury fatal?"
Monk Luo turned around and saw an old scholar in linen clothes.
Monk Luo came to the Chinese Army and didn't know Wang Chang. He only thought that he was Guo Ning's new aide, so he casually said: "Death is inevitable. Seeing that he has been unconscious, I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while. Let me tell you, let him It’s okay to be dizzy for two days.”
"Is there a reliable medical officer in the army? Recruit him quickly and let Tu Shanhang wake up and talk!"
Wang Chang raised his voice and shouted.
He quickly crossed the doorway and saluted Monk Luo: "Master Huifeng doesn't know that the clan of Tu Shanhang is one of the few major clans besides the Wanyan clan. Over the past dynasties, there have been three queens. There are three prime ministers and seven privy envoys. Tu Shanhang's father, Princess Shang, is known as the Nine Prince Consort. He once had the power to level the seal and served as the marshal of the capital. This man had served as the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the court and was familiar with the court affairs. Last year, he was sent to the outside world. It is the result of the court's balance, not a relegation. Such a person, even if his military power is weak and is not in Liulang's eyes, can not be simply despised. It can even be said that this king is someone in the court. Chess pieces outside the capital have their own unique functions."
The generals patrolling tonight are Monk Luo's subordinates. Because they have been with Monk Luo for a long time, they act straightforwardly, show little scruples, and kill people at every turn. As a result, something seems to be happening now? Is this single voyage so important?
Monk Luo couldn't help but touched his scalp again. His hair grew very fast, and each hair sprouted out brightly on the top of his head, like steel needles. He stroked it with his palms as big as cattail leaves, making a soft rustling sound.
But these matters of dealing with the imperial court were not what Monk Luo usually cared about. He thought for a while, was too lazy to worry, and turned to look at Guo Ning.
Guo Ning nodded slightly to Wang Chang: "I have heard about the family power behind Tu Shanhang for a long time. When we reached an agreement with him before, I also specifically mentioned that our defeat of Hu Shahu will be beneficial to his uncle and prime minister Tu Shanyi. .”
Wang Chang took a step forward: "Since Guo Langjun knows this person's situation, it's the best. In my opinion, there must be a huge reason for this person to come here suddenly, and it is definitely not a temporary move. Please Don’t delay, Mr. Lang, wake him up immediately and talk to him!”
Guo Ning said to Monk Luo: "Master, please call the medical officer immediately."
Monk Luo hurried away.
"Mr. Wang, are you familiar with the situation in the court?" Guo Ning turned to Wang Chang.
"It's not that I'm familiar with him, I know him a little bit."
"Then please sir, come with me, and let's go meet Governor Tudan together."
