It took a long time before the county magistrate's wife came back to her senses.
She clutched the banknote and said in astonishment: "Master Hou, you... what do you mean?"
Qin Feng smiled back: "Madam, why do you pretend to be confused because you understand?"
"Isn't it just to curry favor with me when you showed all kinds of kindness before? Isn't the reason why you are angry and resentful of me because I ignored you and made you feel hot but cold?"
"Haha, I am not a three-year-old child, so I still know how to be human."
"Now that I am extending an olive branch to you, why should you be polite?"
Qin Feng ignored the county magistrate's wife before because he didn't have the opportunity. When the county magistrate's wife got into trouble herself, Qin Feng used this to put pressure on Chen Tian. At this time, he could win twice the result with half the effort by wooing the county magistrate's wife.
As for the character of the county magistrate's wife, Qin Feng did not comment. After all, crows in the world are as black as crows. If you care too much about this, then don't do anything.
The county magistrate's wife still felt like she was dreaming, but the banknote in her hand did not lie.
Her pale face suddenly turned rosy, and she was extremely excited, and she quickly bowed and saluted.
"Thank you for your love, Lord Marquis. Please rest assured, Lord Marquis. I will definitely serve you with utmost loyalty!"
loyalty?
It's a bit ridiculous for such a mean woman who only cares about money to talk about loyalty.
Qin Feng's only motive for showing kindness to her was that she was valuable.
"I will not leave your country for a while, and in the next time, I will further expand my business. By then, there must be available people around me. Madam is a smart person, as long as you help me get things done , Not to mention a small county magistrate, even if the officials from the future capital see you, they must salute you!"
"As for the fine clothes and fine food, it goes without saying."
The county magistrate's wife's eyes gleamed and her whole body trembled with excitement. She tightened her fists and said resolutely: "Please give me your orders! As long as the slave family can do it, of course I will do my best and die."
Qin Feng was quite satisfied with the attitude of the county magistrate's wife.
"Very good. It's not difficult. It's especially simple for you."
"Although Chen Tian is not a good official, he is not a bad one. Moreover, he is cautious and good at protecting himself. The more such a person is, the more pedantic and inflexible he is in doing things. Make Changshui County a transit center If he only relies on himself to figure out the matter of standing, there is probably no hope."
"As long as you can convince Chen Tian, it will be your first achievement."
The county magistrate's wife didn't even think about it and nodded directly in agreement: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I'll leave this matter to the slave family!"
Watching the county magistrate's wife leave without looking back, Liu Ming couldn't help but feel funny.
"No man can stand the wind on his pillow."
"Changshui County is the most important strategic location for the Marquis in the future. If we can capture this place, it will be the first step to welcome the princess back to the royal ancestral hall in the future."
Qin Feng smiled and nodded: "The Wu family is quite honest. They will hire all the workers, so there is no need to go back to the capital and they will build a warehouse directly in Changshui County."
"Arrange a few Jin Yi guards to keep an eye on you in Changshui County to prevent anyone from prying indiscriminately."
"The warehouse specifications are as planned by me in advance. There are three commodity warehouses and one weapons warehouse. The weapons warehouse also needs to be disguised."
"Why!"
Speaking of this, Qin Feng sighed.
The King of Beidi was more calm than Qin Feng expected, and Sangzhou had already reported that the elite soldiers of the Eagle Brigade had begun to infiltrate in small groups.
It is not difficult to guess that King Beidi made two preparations.
On the surface, he actively promotes business and restores people's livelihood, but privately, he launches a radical "beheading operation" and prepares to directly attack Jing Qianying.
In the royal capital, everything seems to be going smoothly and everything is moving forward steadily, but in fact there is an undercurrent.
Moreover, facing someone like Beidi King, it is simply unrealistic to ask him to hand over power to Jing Qianying honestly, so he must prepare for the worst.
Qin Feng looked at the fireworks dancing in the brazier and said earnestly: "There has always been competition for the country, how can there be any reason to give in? This coup is probably inevitable."
Just as Qin Feng was steadily planning, a sudden attack broke the situation in Zhuozhou.
Lei Hu, the captain of the Eagle Brigade, led fifty Eagle Brigade archers, taking advantage of the darkness of night, to attack Huanglong and attack the commander-in-chief of Lu Ci and Li Zhao.
Prior to this, Thunder Tiger had evaded the night guards several times.
All the way from the patrol area, to the station, and then from the station, step by step, sneaked closer to the commander's tent.
During the whole process, Lei Hu only killed three night patrol soldiers without attracting any attention. At the same time, no one in the entire camp expected that there would be a night attack!
There was less than an hour left before dawn, and even the night watch soldiers began to take a nap.
Lei Hu had already touched the handsome tent, his eyes were cold and stern.
This raid was much simpler than imagined. Lu Ci and Li Zhao were indeed useless, and the camp was so loosely guarded.
With a wave of Lei Hu's hand, three Eagle Brigade archers rushed into the commander's tent with single swords in their hands, slashing the sleeping man to death on the bed, with blood splattering everywhere.
Not long after, the archer held up Lu Ci's head and walked out of the tent through the curtain.
"General, there is only Lu Ci and no Li Zhao!"
Lei Hu's eyes were like fire, he took a deep breath and whispered: "Don't be greedy, retreat!"
Lei Hu and others took Lu Ci's head and returned the same way. It turned out that it was easy to get in but difficult to get out. After only walking a few dozen steps, they were discovered by a vigilant soldier squatting under a torch.
"Where are you going!"
The night watch soldiers stood up and shouted, looking up and down at Lei Hu and others. Although they were dressed exactly like their own soldiers, these people were extremely unfamiliar.
Lei Hu remained calm in the face of danger and shouted in a deep voice: "In the name of General Lu, I went out to spy, why don't you get out of the way quickly!"
The night watch soldier narrowed his eyes: "Who are you?"
Lei Hu's eyes widened and he said impatiently: "Guerrilla Colonel, Zhao Mu!"
Upon hearing this, the night watch soldiers became extremely vigilant and subconsciously picked up the gong, preparing to warn.
After all, the lieutenants and colonels of the army all looked familiar, and the guy in front of him was clearly a thief who had stolen Zhao Mu's identity!
Just before the vigil soldiers struck the gong, two Eagle Brigade archers had already reached behind them, raised their knives and slashed them on the spot.
The gong fell to the ground and made a slight sound.
The night watch soldier not far away glanced over here and shouted: "Who is it?!"
Lei Hu took a deep breath and shouted: "Let's go!"
He ignored the questions from the night watch soldiers and quickly walked out of the camp with his men.
The soldiers on the night watch quickly ran over, found their comrades lying on the ground, and immediately sounded the gong.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
The enemy attack gong sounded loudly, and Lei Hu roared: "Thieves, stop running!"
The fifty archers around him shouted: "Thieves, stop running!"
Because Lei Hu and others had already dressed up in disguise, matching the uniforms of the defenders, and because the thief was shouting to catch the thief, they immediately ran out of the camp gate.
