Dong Chunyu stood up again and stood respectfully next to Xu Zhaojie. He quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and secretly sighed in his heart that Cai Pengbo's two silver coins were really difficult to get.
If Cai Pengbo hadn't arranged for someone to send him two hundred taels of silver notes when he sent the letter, Dong Chunyu wouldn't have risked speaking a good word for him. Not for the sake of the banknotes, Cai Pengbo's life and death would not be with him. What does Dong Chunyu have to do with it?
"Is there any news from the court?" Xu Zhaojie thought for a long time and slowly asked:
"According to the information sent by the second master, the formation of the Zhenwu Army has been accelerated a lot. Shangguan Hongyuan is selecting and transferring key military attaches loyal to him from the Shenwu Army to be transferred to the Zhenwu Army.
"The Lin family lives in seclusion. In the past few months, there has been no news about him. I don't know how his health is."
"Yang Chunchen and Lin Yi are very close. It is said that Lin Yi's younger brother Lin Tan intends to marry the daughter of the Yang family. The two families are deeply bound, and they seem to be advancing together and retreating together."
At this point, Dong Chunyu's voice paused, and his expression seemed a little hesitant, as if he didn't know what he should say next.
"Tell me! What happened!" Xu Zhaojie noticed his expression, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice:
After receiving Xu Zhaojie's approval, Dong Chunyu dared to continue: "Jin Yingquan has officially resigned. He has returned to Luo'an as the town governor of the Liaoyang Supervision Department. Shen Jianzhong has succeeded him... his place”
As Dong Chunyu spoke, he carefully observed Xu Zhaojie's reaction, fearing that his words would irritate the somewhat moody Dazhou Zhenyuan Hou recently.
But what surprised Dong Chunyu was that Xu Zhaojie's expression was very calm, and there was no trace of anger at all.
"Tell my people to find Wang Kangxin as soon as possible. Now that Shen Jianzhong has taken office, I will give him a meeting gift and let him and Wang Zhongsen fight like dogs!" Xu Zhaojie, who looked calm, had a flash in his eyes. After a moment of killing intent, he said coldly:
Noticing the change in Xu Zhaojie's eyes, Dong Chunyu, who knew Xu Zhaojie's character well, knew that he was serious, and immediately shuddered all over his body, not daring to stay around Xu Zhaojie any longer, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

The capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Luo'an East City, in the study room of the Shangguan Mansion.
Shangguan Hongyuan, the powerful chief minister of Zhou Dynasty, looked carefully at the young general standing in front of him, wearing black armor and a red cloak.
This young general has a slender figure, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He is really a handsome man. However, there is a small scar on his left eyebrow, which makes his face look somewhat flawed. However, this scar also makes his expression change. , with a touch of sharp and murderous air.
"Mu Zhi, what do you think about Guang Shunhou being appointed as the commander of the Zhenwu Army this time?" Shangguan Hongyuan asked slowly:
When Wang Muzhi heard this, he was somewhat silent. After a few seconds, he cupped his hands towards Shangguan Hongyuan and said in a calm voice:
"I'm telling the chief assistant, I don't have any ideas. I will go to that position if you put me in that position... Even if I am just a small soldier, I will eradicate all enemies for you!"
Although Wang Muzhi spoke sincerely and showed his loyalty to Shangguan Hongyuan nakedly, Shangguan Hongyuan didn't look very satisfied with his words. He shook his head slightly and said, "You The resentment in my heart is too heavy.”
Wang Muzhi did not refute this comment, but still stood respectfully aside, seemingly acquiescing to what Shangguan Hongyuan said.
"If you are like this, I may reconsider whether to send you to the Zhenwu Army." Looking at the young Wang Muzhi, Shangguan Hongyuan said calmly:
When Wang Muzhi heard this, he finally looked a little flustered. He opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak. He paused for seven or eight seconds before he could say anything.
"I will obey Commander Chen's orders."
Seeing this, Shangguan Hongyuan once again looked up and down with a scrutinizing gaze. Facing Shangguan Hongyuan's frightening gaze, Wang Muzhi acted very calmly. The two of them After looking at each other for a few seconds, Shangguan Hongyuan withdrew his gaze, nodded and said:
"Don't resent Chen Dechang for taking your position. He originally planned to live out his life and enjoy his grandchildren. He didn't want to wade into the muddy waters this time. It was those people who forced him out."
"Although I am the chief minister and the head of hundreds of officials, I still have to abide by the rules of the court and respect everyone's opinions, so I have wronged you this time..." Shangguan Hongyuan's tone, Although it was still plain, the meaning behind the words was a hint of helplessness.
Feeling the love and care in Shangguan Hongyuan's words, Wang Muzhi was moved. Of course he understood how much criticism there was from the Ministry of War regarding his promotion this time, so even if it was from the expected positive The third-grade commander turned into a fourth-grade commander. He still only felt grateful to Shangguan Hongyuan.
"If I can contribute even a little bit to the great cause of the First Assistant, Mu Zhi will have no grievances!" Wang Muzhi said firmly:
"When we go to Liaoyang this time, you and Gongsun Heng must assist Chen Dechang and let the Zhenwu Army gain a foothold in Liaoyang as soon as possible. Be careful of Song Wenhui's overt and covert actions and don't fall into his trap. Shen Jianzhong has taken office. The envoy of Liaoyang Town is here, he will help you there."
Having said this, Shangguan Hongyuan stopped speaking, glanced at Wang Muzhi again, and then continued: "Chen Dechang is not young anymore. I won't let him work too hard. His The whole family cannot do without him in Luo'an, and you should help Commander Chen more in Liaoyang..."
Although Shangguan Hongyuan's meaning was very euphemistic, Wang Muzhi was not stupid and could not understand the meaning of his words. Although he tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, a smile at the corner of his mouth could not be understood. Unable to hide himself, he bowed deeply to Shangguan Hongyuan and said:
"Thank you, Master Shofu, for your cultivation!"
Shangguan Hongyuan didn't say any more, but just waved his hand. Wang Muzhi, who was suddenly in a bright mood, saluted again, and then left Shangguan Hongyuan's study with great ambition.
