Wang Zi'an looked at Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai who looked stunned and smiled.
"If you feel that I have made my own decisions and still want to go, I can make new arrangements for you. Mobei has been decided for the first time, and there are plenty of opportunities to make contributions. It is a good place to go -"
"Disciple dare not——"
Wang Xuance looked stern and spoke hurriedly.
Xi Junmai was more straightforward. He hesitated for a moment and then followed suit.
"I don't dare, but can I dare to ask, what is the deep meaning of Master's arrangement like this?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zi'an glanced at the two of them, put his hands behind his back with a nonchalant expression, and walked slowly towards his study.
Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai were behind. They couldn't help but look at each other and followed up silently.
Obviously, when Master mentioned this today, it was definitely not without purpose, and he must have something to explain.
In the study.
Prince An sat at the desk, looking at Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai standing in front of him without any trace of resentment, and couldn't help but secretly admire them in his heart.
He is worthy of being a heroic figure who has made legendary achievements in later generations. This kind of character is indeed rare.
Ordinary people, if they know that their future has been ruined by someone, they may have to throw away their sleeves and leave on the spot, even if they don't turn against them.
"I brought you down for two reasons. The first is that although you worship me as your teacher, you have actually been away from home and haven't learned anything from me. Your current abilities alone are not enough to become a teacher. Secondly, Well--"
Having said this, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but stand up, walked to the window, and looked far away to the northwest.
"If my predictions are correct, I'm afraid you will soon have a chance to show off your skills -"
Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai couldn't help but perked up after hearing this.
"Master, are you saying that there will be a war in the northwest soon?"
When Xi Junmai heard this, his eyes gleamed with excitement.
Wang Xuance was a little excited.
Is there any faster place to make achievements than on the battlefield?
Although Mobei is good, the war has been decided, and what is left is to guard and govern. Although there are many opportunities, if a war really breaks out in the northwest, it will naturally be many times stronger than Mobei.
Seeing the useless looks of these two people, Wang Zi'an snorted angrily.
"Did I say anything? Don't talk nonsense, don't say there is no chance. Even if there is a chance, can you seize it if you don't have some skills?"
Speaking of this, Wang Zi'an said earnestly and sincerely while recalling the expression on his high school class teacher's face when he fed people like him chicken soup.
"You must know that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared -"
However, he found that these two idiots, especially Xi Junmai, were far worse than his classmates back then, and they had no intention of cooperating with the teacher at all. Not only did he not show the expression that he had been deeply taught, suddenly awakened, and had grasped the true meaning of life from then on, but he was very out of touch.
"I knew it, I knew it, haha, I knew it, Master must have better arrangements -"
Xi Junmai didn't say anything, and immediately approached him in a very doggy manner.
"Come on, Master, let me give you a shoulder squeeze. I learned it from my junior sister recently, and my techniques are quite sophisticated..."
What a poor eyesight!
Wang Zi'an slapped him away angrily.
"Go, go, don't play tricks here, go read more, practice martial arts, ride horses, and shoot archery when you have nothing to do. Have you completed the homework I assigned you yesterday? Go and finish it quickly. I have nothing to do in the afternoon. I am at home. Teach and train you—"
As soon as Wang Zi'an said this, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai's expressions suddenly changed.
Without saying a word, he turned around and ran away——
The look of that haggard bear made the prince feel happy.
It actually feels pretty good to take on a few apprentices and train them for fun -
No wonder the former head teacher complained day after day about how hard it was to be a class teacher, so he decided not to do it the next year and worked harder than anyone else.
He felt very good, and Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai felt a little pained and happy.
Since moving into Chang'an Houfu.
That little life was so fulfilling.
When I got up in the morning, I started with a twenty-mile rapid march with heavy loads to warm up, and then rode a bow and horse and shot it all over again. In the middle of winter, I was so tired that I was sweating profusely, and I wished I could go shirtless.
Archery and martial arts in the morning, and fighting in the afternoon.
It's nice to see my master in a good mood and take Sister Su Su out for a walk. The two of us can play against each other, or occasionally play against Xue Rengui who came back from the Peking Camp, and have some exchanges. But if you catch up with Master at home, it will be simply miserable and you will be tortured in all kinds of ways——
The key is that at this time, my family is usually quite gentle, but once they go to the battlefield, they can be very violent.
While abusing her, she also didn't forget to tease.
"Come on, I haven't eaten yet—"
"At this level, just buy a piece of tofu and get killed -"
"Where's the brain? Where's the brain? Where did the brain go?"
"I'm not saying that, you two are the most poorly qualified disciples I have ever led -"
"One hand, one hand, whenever you can beat one of my hands, I will allow you to become a teacher--"
"..."
Looking at the exaggerated virtues of these two guys, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but dumbfounded.
These two bitches actually learned how to act——
"Practice hard, I will go over and practice with you later -"
Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai, who had just escaped from their master's study, could not help but shudder when they heard this, and then disappeared.
However, my heart is much more eager than before.
Although Master didn't say it clearly just now, the meaning is very clear. I'm afraid there will be a war in the northwest soon!
They have never doubted their master's judgment.
During the Battle of Mobei, their divinely accurate predictions made them have a mysterious admiration for Wang Zi'an.
…
Just when Wang Zi'an was training his two apprentices at home, in Hezhou, Wang Gang finally waited for his today's guest, an old friend, Hezhou military envoy Chu Yuanheng.
"Brother Chu is really hard to find -"
Wang Gang stood up and poured a cup of tea for Chu Yuanheng himself with a smile.
"Come, let's see if my skills have improved..."
Chu Yuanheng snorted, his nose was not a nose, and his face was not his face.
"What kind of good tea can be brewed from the well water in this borderland? Tell me, call me here today. What's going on?"
When Wang Gang heard this, he immediately put away the smile on his face, sat in his seat, and looked at Chu Yuanheng angrily.
"Brother Chu, why did you go back on your word at the last minute when you clearly agreed to something?"
Chu Yuanheng put the tea cup down on the table angrily and looked at Wang Gang sharply.
"I said at the beginning that you can turn a blind eye, but there must be a limit. Look at you, what are you doing now? You Wang family is so capable, but it was secretly transported Tens of thousands of kilograms of hundred-refined steel - do you know what this is? If there is even the slightest sign of trouble, my nine tribes will have to follow you and lose their heads..."
Chu Yuanheng now feels regret and hatred.
At first I thought it was just a slightly larger smuggling operation, and that as long as I turned a blind eye, everything would be fine. Not only can he gain the friendship of the Wang family, but he can also gain the secret support of Lu Dongzan.
With a few military exploits, you can get yourself out of this windy and harsh place.
Who would have known that they would secretly trade hundreds of refined steel? Even if they were trading hundreds of refined steel, the quantity would actually be huge. Tens of thousands of kilograms, which is almost equivalent to the entire output of Datang in the past three years!
My head can be turned off eight hundred times——
Wang Gang heard this and took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner.
"Brother Chu, please be patient. At this point, do you think that if you withdraw now, you can avoid losing your head?"
The expression on Chu Yuanheng's face suddenly froze.
The two parties have already traded thousands of kilograms of hundreds of refined steel under their noses.
I can't get off this boat!
He was silent for a long time, holding the handle of the knife in his hand until the joints turned white, and then slowly raised his head.
"It's not that I don't cooperate, it's that you are just too presumptuous and make too much noise. I'm afraid it has attracted the attention of that old guy Shi Yunting. The noise in the city has suddenly become much tighter recently."
Speaking of this, Chu Yuanheng's face turned ugly.
"Although I am the military envoy of Hezhou and control the border troops outside the city, that old dog Shi Yunting, as the governor, also controls a city defense army. The captain of the city defense army is his best confidant. I have won over him. I have tried it many times, but it has no effect - if it is your business, once they find out..."
He was really scared.
Ever since he found out that the head of his family was forced to commit suicide in public, members of the Wang family were imprisoned, and the family property was almost wiped out, Wang Gang went crazy.
At that time, why was I so obsessed with it that I boarded his pirate ship?
Looking at Chu Yuanheng who looked anxious and paced back and forth in the room like a revolving door, Wang Gang showed a trace of imperceptible sarcasm on his lips. He took a slow sip of the tea soup, put it gently on the table, and then said calmly.
"There's nothing to worry about. Since you're worried about these things, it's better to think of ways and see how to solve them——"
"How to deal with it?"
Chu Yuanheng stopped suddenly.
"That old dog Shi Yunting has soldiers and horses in his hands, he is cautious, and he doesn't take soft and hard measures -"
Wang Gang smiled when he heard this.
"Brother Chu, have you ever heard that it is better to draw out the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron than to stop it from boiling..."
When Chu Yuanheng heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
He naturally heard what Wang Gang meant clearly and clearly.
He is going to mutiny!
"Are you crazy?"
He couldn't help but roared angrily in a low voice.
"With the few troops we have, once the imperial court counterattacks, how many days do you think we can hold it off!"
The sound almost came out from between his teeth.
"Brother Chu, where are you thinking-"
Wang Gang pretended to be surprised and looked at Chu Yuanheng.
"Hezhou is located on the border. It is normal for rogue bandits to invade and commit crimes occasionally. Shi Shi is loyal to the country, works hard for the country, and is eager to make contributions. He does not listen to our dissuasion and insists on sending troops to suppress the bandits himself. And we have any solution--"
"Brother Chu, tell me, if Governor Shi unfortunately dies for his country, who will temporarily take over the important military and political affairs in Hezhou?"
When Chu Yuanheng heard this, he immediately stood on the spot, his expression changing on his red face that was worn by the wind and sand in Hezhou.
Finally, bite the bullet.
Swinging his sleeves, holding on to the handle of the knife, he strode out.
Seeing Chu Yuanheng striding away without looking back, Wang Gang didn't say anything, with a look of disdain on his lips.
This bitch is greedy in nature and as timid as a rat. He will never achieve anything.
If he hadn't been quite obedient at the beginning and had helped the family do a lot of business over the years, and now he had to rely on the military strength in his hands, such a person would not be worthy of sitting with him.
He is not worried about the other party's choice, because now, Chu Yuanheng has no choice.
as expected.
The next day, early in the morning, he heard the news that Chu Yuanheng led his troops out for training.
A smile of victory suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He stood up and looked towards the Governor's Mansion.
Mr. Shi, I'm going to be sorry this time. Our Wang family wants to lend you your head.
"Come here, inform Mr. Lu that everything is ready and all we need is Dongfeng. In three days, the target will leave the city and go out for inspection..."
The confidant immediately took the order in a low voice and left.
…
The ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
Duke Ying's mansion welcomed two distinguished guests.
Changsun Wuji and Li Xiaogong.
It was almost as if they had made an appointment, and the two of them almost started walking one after the other.
Regarding the arrival of Li Xiaogong and Changsun Wuji, the warrior Xun was puzzled, but he did not dare to neglect at all. He took his two sons and personally welcomed them out of the mansion.
You must know that although he is the Duke of the country, he is not on the same level as the two people in front of him. Because he missed his old master, who was the former confidant of the Supreme Emperor, almost no one in the court dared to interact with him.
But these two are not the case. They are the famous people in front of His Majesty today.
"The Prince of Hejian County and the Duke of Qi, both of you are here to make such a grand visit, it will really make this humble house look more prosperous -"
The guests and hosts were seated, and after the warrior Yu had tea served, he glanced at the gifts piled up by the two people in his living room intentionally or unintentionally. For a moment, he was a little unsure about the purpose of their visit.
"You are so polite, Duke Ying——"
What makes Samurai Yun even more uncertain is that these two popular big guys who are beyond his reach not only brought gifts, but also kept their postures very low. They talked, laughed and made witty remarks, just like old friends for many years. Like a reunion.
He was in a daze, almost thinking that he had returned to the period when the Supreme Emperor was in power.
After the greetings were finished, seeing that the two people were still talking about things without saying their intention, the warrior simply cupped his hands and spoke directly.
"I don't know, you two came here this time, but what are your orders?"
With his current status, he is naturally incomparable to others.
But if he said he was afraid, that was not the case.
"Qi Guogong, why don't you first——"
Li Xiaogong smiled and cupped his hand at Changsun Wuji. He glanced at the door of the hall and saw the gift box that Changsun Wuji had brought over. He felt a slight movement in his heart and tried it quietly.
"Prince Hejian County, how about you first--"
Changsun Wuji glanced at the gift box that Li Xiaogong brought over calmly, and couldn't help but secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, but courtesy is the way to go, and others should be polite first, how could he not be polite.
"Then - then let me first -"
Looking at Li Xiaogong who agreed directly.
Changsun Wuji:...
If you can, please be polite!
