69 Chapter sixty-eight

Lou Jing was silent for a long time, then sighed softly, "I will discuss this matter with Mr. Yang. Miss Yang, please go and rest first."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty..." Miss Yang bowed and left the central tent without asking Lou Jing whether he agreed to let Lin Dahu go.

"Miss Yang is a useful person." Xiao Chengjun stood up and rubbed Lou Jing's head. From an employment point of view, Miss Yang has clear grievances and good control over her advances and retreats. It is perfect for her to be used to check and balance the inner house of the Lou family. "She

Since there is no one to rely on in the Lou family, I can only conspire with you."

"I don't have to rely on women yet." Lou Jing pulled the hand above her head, put it to her mouth and took a bite, but she knew in her heart that her husband was right.

The inner house is a trivial matter for the family, the country and the world, but if the inner house is not stable, life will be miserable. What's more, if he remarries Xiao Chengjun in the future, the Lou family will be defeated sooner or later if it is in the hands of his father and the Wei family.

With a slight sigh, the two stopped talking about the matter and called for Lin Dahu to be brought.

The arrow on Lin Dahu's shoulder had been pulled out, and he didn't know who had given him medicine. He was carefully wrapped in white cloth, but he was still tied with a hemp rope and stared at Lou Jing with red eyes.

"Lin Dahu, you have repeatedly opposed me, what do you think I should do with you?" Lou Jing leaned on the back of his chair and looked at him with a sneer.

"If you want to kill or behead, please do as you please." Lin Dahu was tall, with a heavy back and a heavy waist, and his voice was like a bell.

Lou Jing pressed her ear with one finger, took out a picture, and said slowly, "I saw the defense cloth on Jiuqi Mountain. If the granary hadn't been burned down, we wouldn't have been able to capture this stronghold in half a month. You have led troops before.

?”

"It has nothing to do with you." Lin Dahu frowned and said.

"Oh, it turns out you really arranged it." Lou Jing said with a smile, as if he just found out.

Lin Dahu's eyes widened, and then he realized that he had been bypassed.

Xiao Chengjun looked at the two people going back and forth and couldn't help but chuckle, "The talent of a general should be used in the army. It would be a pity to be a bandit."

"Hmph, the imperial army is no different from the bandits," Lin Dahu snorted coldly, "I will not surrender. I will either go to jail or go to the guillotine. Give it a try!"

Lou Jing sighed, ignored him, and turned to Xiao Chengjun: "I made a mistake. I thought he was an upright man, but now it seems that he is just a coward."

"He has great talent and little ambition, and cannot be cultivated. Keeping him will be a disaster to the common people." Xiao Chengjun said seriously.

The serious conversation between the two immediately angered Lin Dahu, "I'm not a coward. I've been robbing the rich and giving to the poor all these years. How can I harm the people?"

"Then what happened to Miss Yang?" Lou Jing raised her eyebrows, stood up and walked to Lin Dahu, "What happened to those girls and boys who were harmed by your second master?"

Mentioning this, Lin Dahu's face was a little troubled. He had always disliked this kind of thing, and he would take care of it if he could. But a group of big men in the village had to have a place to vent, and he couldn't control it. He could only advise them not to do anything.

The little girl who left the court.

"In the final analysis, you are worse than a lackey of the imperial court. A lackey knows who to work for, but what about you? Is it worth it for a copycat bandit leader who kills people, sets fires, robs women, and uses his brothers to block arrows? Your sworn brother, if not

Why was he killed when he saw Cai and wanted to kill someone?" Lou Jing pulled out his sword and pointed the blade at Lin Dahu's chest, "Think about it with your conscience, what you have done over the years and the people you have helped are worthy of you.

Luocao’s original intention?”

Lin Dahu remained silent, with the bright blade in front of him. If he surrendered, he would live, if he refused, he would die. However, he was unwilling to surrender to the court like this.

"That's all..." Lou Jing sighed and suddenly swung his knife.

The light of the blade flashed past his eyes, and the sound of breaking wind passed by his ears. Lin Dahu subconsciously closed his eyes.

The knife went down with a "swish", and the hemp rope on his body broke with a sound. Lin Dahu opened his eyes in surprise and stared blankly at Lou Jing who sheathed the knife.

"I, Lou Jing, never impose anything on others. I respect you as a man and I will not embarrass you today." Lou Jing turned around and turned her back to Lin Dahu, "You can go."

Lin Dahu was stunned for a moment, turned around and left. He opened the door curtain and saw that the camp outside was quiet and peaceful. The sky was clear and the mountains in the distance were vast. The sky was vast and the earth was vast. There was always a place for an eight-foot man like him, but...

...The steps to step out suddenly stopped.

Lou Jing turned around and looked at him, slightly curling her lips, but her tone was calm with a sigh, "No one will stop you after you get out of this door."

Lin Dahu turned around and looked at Lou Jing, "What are you doing by dispatching your troops and generals to kill the enemy bravely?"

The moment Lin Dahu turned around, Lou Jing put on an unpredictable expression. After hearing these words, she pondered for a moment and said: "I, of course, do it for the people I am loyal to."

"Now Dayu is in chaos," Lin Dahu stared at Lou Jing closely, "You keep saying that the world is full of people, can the person you are loyal to keep the people full?"

These words were already treasonous, but Xiao Chengjun's eyes flashed with admiration. He was not loyal to the court but loyal to the world. He originally thought that he could only see such a person when Taizu founded the country, but he did not expect that he could also meet such a person. Although, from then on,

From the emperor's point of view, this kind of person is not very lovable.

"The person I am loyal to can definitely bring Dayu back to its prosperous age," Lou Jing slowly raised her lips, "And what I have to do is to help him protect these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!"

Xiao Chengjun looked at the man who was smiling openly, and his heart was shocked. These words were engraved in his heart word for word, and he would remember them for a lifetime.

At dusk, the couple, together with Lin Dahu, who had become a young general, sent Miss Yang back to the Jiuchang County Sheriff's Mansion.

Mrs. Yang held her daughter and cried bitterly for a long time before she stopped crying and asked about what happened these days.

"Mom, please be at ease. My daughter can't marry into a good family now if she stays in Jiangzhou. It's better to go to the Duke's Mansion." Miss Yang comforted her for a while, and then got down to business.

When Mrs. Yang heard this, she couldn't help but shed tears. Everyone in Jiuchang County knew that Miss Yang was kidnapped by bandits. As long as a wealthy family got married, they would definitely come to inquire about it. They knew that their daughter had not lost her reputation.

But who would believe it? It will definitely be extremely difficult to find someone who is a good match in the future...

"Our family has a weak foundation, and my father has had many difficulties in his career. Marrying Mr. An Guo is not necessarily a bad thing." Miss Yang was originally unwilling, but after spending time in the village, she figured it out.

Her father is an upright official, but it is difficult to stand out in today's chaotic court. Instead, he is in trouble everywhere. He borrowed a debt for this year's meeting ceremony. What will happen three years later? There are younger brothers and sisters at home who want to study and get married. She

You must marry someone with a high status in order to help the family.

After the discussion, Yang Xing sighed heavily, wiped away his tears, thanked Lou Jing for his kindness, and prepared to send his daughter to Lou Jing's house.

Lou Jing stopped blocking and sent twenty elite guards to escort Miss Yang all the way to Beijing. He himself wrote a letter telling his father that the mountain bandits in Jiangzhou were causing trouble and the roads were indeed impassable. It was not Yang Xing's fault, but that Miss Yang was responsible for the murder.

The matter of captivity was not even mentioned.

After the incident at Jiuqi Mountain, Lou Jing's strange military tactics completely shocked the army. The young generals under his command were so impressed that they would no longer question Lou Jing's orders easily, no matter how strange they were.

General Zhennan, who had just established his prestige, suddenly threw away his hands and handed over important military matters to the two lieutenants. He himself accompanied the military advisor and went out on a trip.

There were only less than five days left before Xiao Chengjun could join the feudal clan. It took three days on horseback from Jiuchang to Minzhou, so the group hurried to Rongcheng, the capital of Minzhou.

Two days after Lou Jing left, the governor of Jiangzhou received a personal letter from General Zhennan, and couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.

He was originally planning to show off his talents in Jiangzhou, but unexpectedly the emperor suddenly appointed such a Zhennan general, which was like putting a chain around his neck. The governor of Jiangzhou was naturally not happy. Jiangzhou already had insufficient troops.

The army of the four southern counties was extremely important to him, so he kept holding on to the ten thousand and refused to return it. It was expected that the son of the Lou family was still young, and such an act was also to give him a warning and make him be more honest.

"Sir, this subordinate is not doing well." When the people around him saw the letter from General Zhennan, they immediately knelt down and said.

The governor of Jiangzhou ignored the plea of ​​apology from his subordinates, but unfolded Lou Jing's letter. The content of the letter was extremely simple, as simple as one sentence: "Return my army within three days. If the troops do not reach the four southern counties in seven days, I will

Ask for it from the Holy One." Just such a line was written in the middle of the white paper, with the bright red general's seal stamped on it, making it extremely arrogant.

"Young man from the Lou family, you are going too far!" The governor of Jiangzhou was so angry that his beard trembled, and he slapped the letter on the table.

The land in Minzhou is not fertile, and many people make a living by fishing, so the more prosperous cities are located along the coast, and Rongcheng is no exception, less than a hundred miles away from the sea.

Naturally, Lou Jing could not come as Princess Fujian or General Zhennan, so she could only pretend to be Xiao Chengjun's bodyguard. However, her arm had not recovered yet, so the bodyguard could only ride on a horse with the prince until outside Rong City.

Horses travel alone.

There was the original Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion in Rongcheng. Now that the whole mansion has moved to central Beijing, the Marquis of Jingnan temporarily lent the mansion to Xiao Chengjun to be used as the Mansion of the Prince of Fujian. After the real Mansion of the Prince of Fujian is completed, he can move there.

The officials of the fiefdom had been waiting in the palace of Prince Min for a long time. They were originally the local officials of Minzhou. Now Minzhou has become a fiefdom. Those with connections will be transferred, while those without connections can only stay here and become the prince's vassal.

minister.

"I will see His Highness the King of Min." The officials of the Six Cao Cao of Minzhou, who had become the Minister of the Six Ministries of the fiefdom, all saluted Xiao Chengjun.

Xiao Chengjun sat on the main seat and glanced at his subordinates kneeling on the ground. The governor of Minzhou had resigned, so the position of prime minister of Minzhou was vacant. "I will take over Minzhou from today. All of you will be promoted to one rank.

It is the official book of the six ministries of Fujian, with the title of third grade."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The six people bowed and thanked him, neither happy nor sad.

"This king has just arrived and is not familiar with the affairs of Minzhou. Please submit all the files of Minzhou Liucao in the past three years. Seven days later, I will hold a succession ceremony at Minwangtai and call the governors of the nine counties of Minzhou to come. The ceremony

Later, there will be a meeting in the main hall of the palace. Anyone who is absent will be immediately dismissed and will never be hired in Fujian." Xiao Chengjun's face was cold and solemn, his tone was calm, and he explained one by one.

The minister of ceremony, the summons, and the arrangement of the fiefdom within seven days were all clearly organized and without omissions. I was able to break into a cold sweat after listening to the newly released six books of ministers. I originally thought that the King of Fujian was not favored and was deposed because of his stupidity. He must be a
