Changlefang is a gathering place for the rich and powerful in the inner city. Among the carved beams and painted buildings, there is a large house that occupies a large area. It is neither simple nor overly ostentatious, but it has become an ordinary house here.
However, when those dignitaries who live on the same street pass by this house, they will subconsciously hold their breath and walk faster.
Geshan held a letter sealed in brown paper in his hand and walked into the house without looking away. During this period, many people looked at him. When he saw it was him, he let him go towards the depths of the house.
Geshan stood in front of the ajar door and heard a familiar voice. After clearing his expression, he shouted: "City Lord."
"Come in." Bai Hao, who was missing an arm, looked much restored. He sat in front of the case with his eyes closed and his head slightly lowered.
Ge Shan glanced at Bai Hao, who seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, and made eye contact with Xing Fei, who was dressed in military uniform. Xing Fei looked away coldly.
"Attsu~"
Bai Hao's mouth moved slightly, as if he saw the discord between the two of them. He tapped his fingers on the chopping board and asked, "You came here so early today. Did you find their hiding place?"
Ge Shan retracted his gaze and looked at the ground and said: "They have more than one residence in the east of the city, and... Fenxi's brothers have been discovered by their spies several times before they even touched it."
Bai Hao said calmly: "Hidden Valley is much more professional than Fenxi in these aspects. I don't blame you."
Ge Shan nodded lightly and said: "Brothers have missed the mark several times, but it is not without success. By asking nearby residents, we have obtained portraits of several people. However, the reason why my subordinates came so early is because they received Murong Da Letter from the Commander.”
Ge Shan placed the letter in his hand on Bai Hao's right hand and returned to the case.
Bai Hao looked at the envelope and fell silent. Zhuque City had undergone tremendous changes, but he had never forgotten Murong Xing, the instigator.
He had even conveyed an idea to Cao Jin. Murong Xing only wanted to unify Tiannan and did not care whether the owner of this land was surnamed Bai.
"What did you say in the letter?" He leaned back on his chair, closed his eyes and did not move.
Ge Shan opened the envelope silently, and after a quick glance he said with some surprise: "We entered Tiannan in May, and now it is only the beginning of July, and Commander Murong has conquered most of the forces except Hidden Valley..."
Geshan said that he had realized something was wrong and his voice lowered.
Bai Hao snorted coldly, opened his eyes and smiled: "Am I the kind of person who doesn't like other people's kindness? Go on."
This letter was densely packed with thousands of words. Geshan quickly skipped most of the previous content, and slowed down at the end and said: "It has been found out that Mu Qing is rebellious and has been thinking about leaving Hidden Valley. Except for Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, His relationship with the other lineages is very poor, and a piece of news leaked out in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers that Dugu Wei, the commander of the Murong family's bodyguards, is extremely at odds with him."
Geshan almost repeated the contents of the letter, and after finishing reading, he looked up at Bai Hao.
"What do you think?" Bai Hao thought thoughtfully.
Xing Fei said bluntly: "Those relationships in Hidden Valley have never been as united and united as our army, but it is almost impossible to drive a wedge between them."
Bai Hao was noncommittal and looked at Ge Shan expectantly.
Ge Shan pondered: "A person like Mu Qing, who is young but powerful, must not be able to hide his coquettish and arrogant nature in his actions. He will definitely have more than one or two conflicts with those people."
Bai Hao nodded and said calmly: "These contradictions already exist. If we take advantage of them in normal times, we may wait until the conflict intensifies. But now they are unanimously dealing with our Suzaku City. I am afraid that no matter how much they want to see both sides, they will not If there is a conflict at this time, we will not be given time."
Bai Hao has considered the feasibility of this...
Geshan heard the emotion in his words, shook his head and said: "City Lord, we don't need them to deal with Mu Qing, we just need them to doubt Mu Qing and prevent Mu Qing from getting involved in this matter. It's a good thing for us." A beneficial thing.”
A bright light flashed through Bai Hao's mind, and he suddenly woke up, "Yes, just spread the identity of this scoundrel..."
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him. He sat up straighter and looked at Geshan with approval: "You Fenxi already know the identity of this son, and you can reveal it to Hidden Valley. By the way..."
Bai Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be calm and asked, "Have there been any rumors in the city recently?"
Ge Shan and Xing Fei ignored them, and he shook his head with an appropriately puzzled expression on his face: "Fen Xi has been looking for their traces recently, and I haven't heard any rumors? I don't know what the city lord is asking about?"
Bai Hao leaned his back gently on the back of the chair and waved: "It's okay."
Guessing that the time to absorb the blood food was coming soon, he thought for a moment and told the two of them: "Geshan, please report the locations found in the east of the city to Xing Fei. All those within a radius of five miles, please come back." Cheng questioned him carefully."
Geshan's heart sank, and he was just thinking about how to speak, but Xing Fei on the side had already refused directly: "City Lord, doing this will definitely make people's hearts unstable, and even worse, there will be another turmoil."
"Trouble?" Bai Hao repeated softly, and said with a smile: "They are all my subjects of Zhuque City. Now the City Lord's Mansion is crumbling. They usually enjoy the protection of the City Lord's Mansion and can live a stable life. Now this little effort is going to cause chaos?”
Bai Hao walked up to Xing Fei, looked at his angular face, moved his eyes slightly, patted his shoulder, and said meaningfully: "If you only think about your rights but fail to understand your obligations, We don’t need such selfish people who shield their enemies.”
After Xing Fei was silent, he took three steps back, lowered his head and clasped his fists, saying: "The last general takes orders."
If the time were pushed back ten years ago, Xing Fei might have sighed after hearing Bai Hao's order that he could kill by mistake or not let go. It was a time of crisis and he had to use harsh methods, but now he closed his eyes. , will only return to the helpless faces that I saw in the underground space that night.
Ge Shan had been paying attention to Xing Fei's mood, and when he saw him raising his head with a straight face, he secretly screamed that it was bad.
Sure enough, Xing Fei glanced at him and asked calmly: "City Lord, after they burn their breath to find out, when can the remaining innocent people return home?"
The atmosphere was a little tense. Since the founding of the Mugung Kingdom, the vast territory of Kyushu has been governed by cities. Like the city where the capital of a state is located, the city lords have concentrated their power. In the southern border far away from the Emperor Tiangao, Bai Hao is said to be The earth emperor is not too much.
Xing Fei acted like this, which was really offensive. Geshan's thoughts were racing and he suddenly complained to him: "Although it will be easier when you ask them to come back for questioning, aren't you making things difficult for me? I want to find out these things." Doesn’t matter whether people have problems or not, what can be accomplished overnight?”
Xing Fei looked at Ge Shan, lowered his head to Bai Hao and said, "It's the last general who didn't think carefully."
Bai Hao shook his head and said in a sincere tone: "During this period, everything in the army has to be supported by you. It will indeed be very difficult and tiring for you, so go down first."
After Xing Fei left, Bai Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. He could feel that something was wrong with Xing Fei. When did this strangeness start? It seemed like the last time he asked about Xing Zuo's whereabouts...
He turned to look at Geshan and asked, "What conflict do you have?"
Ge Shan shook his head and said, "Although I am a few years older than him, I still regard him as the leader in the army like everyone else. I can't find any fault with him in running the army, and I have no conflicts with him."
"Oh?" Bai Hao heard the voice-over and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about other than running the army?"
Geshan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "He is not a person who can look at the overall situation, and cannot understand that after suffering heavy losses one after another, if you want to keep the city lord's mansion from falling, it is not just as simple as changing places. He is not wrong. , we don’t have either.”
Ge Shan's words directly spoke into Bai Hao's heart, making Bai Hao think highly of him.
Bai Hao looked outside the door. It was July, and the scorching sun in the morning was not as bright as in the afternoon. The clear sunlight was shining down. There were green plants in the courtyard that were growing normally, and there were also small withered stems that withered and fell to the ground. In this season, Here, there is abundant sunshine, which is when all things grow greedily, but next to the tall green plants, are there withered ones? And if you can't even pass this level, after the autumn frost and winter cold, will there still be seeds sprouting from the soil in the coming year?
This world has always been just a playground for the weak and the strong.
Ge Shan didn't know that Bai Hao had inexplicably inquired about his heart, but he could vaguely feel that Bai Hao's originally empty aura suddenly solidified a lot.
He just stood aside quietly, vaguely hearing Bai Hao subconsciously say: "They are not wrong, and I am not wrong either."
After blowing the incense, Bai Hao sat back in front of the case again, with a trace of aftertaste and greed still on his face.
He looked at Ge Shan who was standing honestly and did not disturb him. His tone was a little more joyful, and he nodded and said: "You have been in the Guards for many years. Although you are now the leader of Fenxi, Xing Fei There are too many things, you can help with some.”
By saying this, Bai Hao was actually hinting that the position of commander of the Guards could not be replaced. If Luo Kai were here and heard the meaning of his words, he would not immediately kneel down to show his loyalty. Bai Hao should let Bai Hao Hao was extremely satisfied and even felt a trace of regret for not promoting Geshan earlier. However, Geshan calmly agreed.
"Very good. I remember that the general who defended the city at the south gate has lost two merits and is now just a battalion commander. In this way, he will be promoted to the governor of a thousand households, and another 400 people will be allocated from the elite guards. From now on, let him directly obey your orders."
Ge Shan sighed inwardly. Sometimes he had to admit that Bai Hao was a person with the charm of a superior. If he was sincerely promoting you, he would even consider whether you were a polished commander.
"It's a pity that you and I have different opinions and do not agree with each other..."
Geshan thought this in his heart, but asked: "What does the city lord need his subordinates to do?"
The strength of the elite personal guards of 1,200 people has reached the mid-extraordinary stage. Such a force can do many things.
At this point, Bai Hao finally cast his scrutinizing eyes on Ge Shan's face. After a long time, he said coldly: "After the Zheng family was wiped out, the city was quiet for a while, but unfortunately... it didn't last long."
Geshan didn't even move his eyes, and asked seriously: "Do we need to catch them all?"
"Why do you want to catch him back?" Bai Hao's eyes suddenly became sharper and his face became colder.
"Bai Hao is indeed cautious enough." Ge Shan thought to himself, then lowered his head and said nothing.
"Take this list..."
After a long time, Bai Hao picked up a piece of paper and handed it to Ge Shan.
This piece of paper had been folded before and placed casually next to the kraft envelope. Even Geshan didn't pay much attention to it, but when he looked at the names on the list, he couldn't help but raise his head suddenly, "This..."
Bai Hao patted him on the shoulder, leaned back on the chair and smiled: "Come one by one, don't worry."
