Ding Kui was called Lao Ye, so his sworn brother Ding Yu was naturally called Da Ye.
"Brother Yu? That's a good suggestion. I'll go ask him what he means." Ding Kui did not make the decision for Ao Yu at will.
If Uncle Qinglong is allowed to sit in the army, it will be difficult to succeed in any night attack or arson. The result of disturbing Uncle Long's rest is to be flattened into mud. No one on the battlefield can beat him.
Of course, no one can control him except Ding Kui. Once he becomes more murderous, there will be a river of blood. This is the disadvantage of letting Ao Yu go out alone.
Also, the greedy dragon will definitely ask for property. If you don’t give it to him, he will rob it himself. I don’t know how many official warehouses the bottomless dragon space ring can hold. Maybe he is not helping but
Disaster.
No! It’s better to let him go than to go by myself. Instead, I can let him pretend to be me and stay here.
Ding Kui thought about it and still felt uneasy.
It wasn't that fast to get to Shibu County. He sent an order to Xinfeng City that experts would arrive in a few days to assist in the battle. Before that, Zhong Wei suspended his attack.
He wanted to see Mo Gu, a genuine master craftsman, not a Xibei guy like him.
"It is said that Prince Consort Ding treats the craftsmen of the world with courtesy, but that's just a lie." When Mo Ji saw Qing Yangzi walking into the cell, he immediately put on the air of a master craftsman.
With Qingyang Zi at his side, he should have no worries about his life. The Mo family has a relationship with the Qingyang family. Shaodian country is so big that it can accommodate several master craftsman families, so they won't compete with each other for work.
"Master Mo misunderstood. You were captured on the battlefield. The teacher only regarded you as an enemy and did not regard you as a craftsman. War criminals should behave like war criminals. Otherwise, the teacher would not be able to command hundreds of thousands of troops.
Hey, don’t blame me for talking too much. If you hadn’t made such a fuss, the status of our craftsmen could have been raised one level, and the best among them might have been granted nobility. But now it’s all gone. From now on, craftsmen will always be below the military.
There is no future."
Qingyangzi leaned against the cell door, with no intention of going deeper.
Mo Ju thought that Qingyang Zi thought the cell was dirty and didn't care. Instead, he was surprised by these words and asked: "Why do you say this? Why do you blame me? You and Ding Kui have a master-disciple relationship, how can you still be influenced by me?"
Isn’t it a drag?”
"That's right! It's you who proved that the benefits of craftsmen can only be demonstrated through the hands of soldiers. The majestic craftsman went to work for the city lord, but the purpose was to command the local army. In other words, the craftsman is not as good as a city defense army.
Commander." Qingyang Zi's tone became increasingly rude.
"Fart!" Moyu slapped the wall, causing the cell to buzz.
He couldn't bear to be ridiculed by a craftsman who was not as good as himself.
"I don't want to command the local army! I just want to teach the rebels a lesson through others! Why, how come I am not as good as the commander of the city defense army?" The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
This kind of secretly changing the concept sounds like that at first glance. How can a craftsman distinguish it clearly?
"Originally, the teacher had the idea of making me a baron, but it was ruined, and now it is completely ruined! He actually said, actually said, hey!" Qingyang Zi learned to use ink tools and slapped the cell door, making a banging sound.
"Conning the craftsman a noble? What did he say?" Moji became anxious.
This is incredible. Once the Qingyang family is sealed, it means that the Mo family will also have an opportunity. This is a first-class event for the craftsmen.
"He, he said, 'It would be better to make you a baron than to make a city defense commander. I have so many city defense commanders, so I'm afraid they will be dissatisfied if I make you a baron!' This is all a good thing you did." Qingyang Zi pointed the finger.
Ink tools.
"What?" Mo Yu's mouth was full of bitterness.
Regret! I regret that I shouldn’t have gone to Binlai City to meddle in other people’s affairs. I regret that I shouldn’t have opposed Ding Kui in this way.
He did not think that the eldest princess supported by Ding Kui was an orthodox imperial court, and the title awarded by Ding Kui was an official title. However, once this was opened, the imperial court was likely to follow suit, and the Mohist family had great hope of obtaining a title.
"I, I, I want to see Ding Kui! No, I want to see your teacher, Prince Consort Ding!" Mo Yu waved his hands vigorously.
"What do you want to see him for? Do you still want to compete with him? Compare to what? Craftsman skills?" Qingyangzi sarcastically said.
"No, no, no, I want to explain to him that I don't want to command the army, just, just." Moju hesitated, unable to think of a good excuse.
Qingyang Zi said bluntly: "You just want to show off your talents and let others see how capable you are. I'm afraid that others don't know that there is a master craftsman like you in Shaodian Kingdom."
"Yes, yes, no, no, no," Mo Ju was confused, "I, I just want Ding Kui and Ding Prince Consort to see the craftsman's patriotism. He cannot rule the world by relying on soldiers alone. The common people can also Prevent him from seeking the throne."
"Who told you that I, ahem, my teacher wants to seek the throne?" Qingyang Zi seemed to have a discomfort in his throat.
Mo Ju calmed down and said: "The deposed king was deposed due to a natural disaster and the eclipse of the sun. This was agreed upon by the two houses and the two houses. If the eldest princess is dissatisfied, she should discuss it with the two houses and should not establish herself as a supervisor. If Prince Consort Ding hadn't intended to seek the throne, how would the eldest princess have established a small court in Nanqiu County?"
"A natural disaster or eclipse will depose a king. Which etiquette says this?
Do you think I am a big country and want to be ruled by a baby all day long?
According to the laws of the Kingdom, only adults can govern. We have to wait eighteen years to win a real king. Is there any such example in the history of the Kingdom?
You keep saying that the eldest princess should be like this and that, is the clan house opened by your family?
Now that the kingdom is in civil strife, and the regent has been unable to bring order to the chaos, should we wait until he loses the capital before questioning him?
Natural disasters have indeed come to the kingdom, but who brought them? They all happened after the false king succeeded to the throne, right?
The eldest princess is the legitimate daughter of the late king. She is qualified to talk about state affairs but you are not. In what capacity do you question her?"
Qingyangzi was speechless after a while and asked about Moju.
"You, you are not Qingyangzi! Who are you?" Moji suddenly realized, how could Qingyangzi, a fellow craftsman, know so much about the court.
Although he and Qingyang Zi are the pillars of their respective families, they don't meet often enough to recognize each other, and they are not familiar with each other. The more they look at the person in front of them, the more unusual they become.
"Hahaha, I'm a little excited. I haven't used the disguise technique for a long time and I feel unfamiliar. Come out."
"Qingyang Zi" walked out from behind another Qingyang Zi.
"Shuai Mo is offended! The teacher has your destiny, and I dare not disobey you. The teacher cares about you, so he must meet you personally."
Mo Ju pointed at the "Qingyang Zi" who came first and said: "He, he is your teacher? Ding's consort?"
"Qingyang Zi" stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, revealing his true face. Who else could it be if it wasn't Ding Kui?
"Hahaha, I'm sorry!" Ding Kui strode into the cell and took off Mo Ji's shackles with his own hands, "You beat our army so badly! The First Infantry Regiment and the First Crossbow Regiment are known as the elites of our private army. You beat them up and run away in embarrassment, I have to train them again."
"You, you, you." Moji didn't know what to say.
"I would like to invite you to my house for a cup of tea. I wonder if you can do it for me?" Ding Kui stretched out his hand towards the cell door.
Mo Ji looked at Qingyang Zi, who asked, "Can I accompany you?"
"Uh, ahem, I wonder if the war criminal Moju can ask Prince Consort Ding for a drink?"
"Hahaha, I'm serious, it's just a misunderstanding! Master Mo just helped me test the quality of the private army, and it has achieved very good results. It's time to have a drink to celebrate! Let's go, let's go, I won't come back until I'm drunk today!" Ding Kui
Walking out with the ink tool in hand.
He gave the steps, Mo Yu no longer pretended to be pretentious and walked down, and then went to the princess's house to be a guest.
On the way, he quietly asked Qingyang Zi: "Is the prince really going to knight you?"
"The teacher personally promised that as long as the contribution is large enough, craftsmen can also be knighted, and he means what he says.
However, I have to count on you for this matter. I am his disciple. If I follow my example, I will be criticized by others. If I canonize you first, there will be less resistance."
"Why? I am now considered his prisoner. Not only have I made no contribution but I am also guilty. How can I be sealed before you?" Mo Ji didn't understand.
Qingyang Zi explained: "It doesn't matter if you don't have any contribution now. Just rely on your craftsmanship. In Nanqiu County, where there are many workshops and factories, are you still afraid that you won't be able to make any contribution?
There is no shortage of troops under the supervision of the country, but there is a shortage of masters like you, and you should have heard the rumors about the teacher. He can definitely provide you with enough room to perform.
In time, your contribution will definitely be greater than that of the commander-in-chief of the army. If they can be knighted, why can't you? The future of the craftsman lies with you."
"Oh, but I heard that you have made a lot of contributions. Wouldn't it be too unfair for you to wait for me to be knighted later?" Mo Ji confirmed that the person in front of him was the real Qingyang Zi.
"The craftsman has been working for thousands of years and has never been favored by the nobles. Now, as long as there is a chance, let alone the grievances, he will kill me."
This is Qing Yangzi’s true words. I don’t feel wronged because Ding Kui is good at ink tools. The key is that Ding Kui treats craftsmen well. People who rely on craftsmanship do not worry about their jobs being taken away by others.
When Ding Kui returned home, he immediately ordered a big banquet and invited several of his close men.
Xue Chong raised his glass with one hand and offered a toast: "I brought out the first infantry regiment and the first crossbow regiment. Thank you for waking them up and letting them know that there are many masters in the world. Soldiers who are accustomed to indulge in arrogance will be defeated.
Let’s see if they dare to look down on others in the future.”
Mo Ju quickly put his hands on the cup and clinked it with it, saying: "Ashamed, ashamed. The troops trained by Commander Xue are disciplined and brave in combat. I racked my brains to win a small victory for a while, and then immediately lost a big loss and became a prisoner. How can I say that?"
Can you be considered a master?"
"You don't have to cover up for me!" Ding Kui drank a full drink, "I am responsible for the defeat of the Red Army protecting the country, so I will punish myself first.
It was me who underestimated the people of the world, and I underestimated the people's concern and understanding of government affairs. Master Mo did misunderstand me, but it was me who failed to explain clearly to the people.
The court can accommodate different political opinions, and I should listen to more opposing voices. National affairs can not only be resolved through war, but other methods can be used."
"My consort's words deeply touched my heart. My family shouldn't fight against my own family. If there are conflicts, we can sit down and talk about it." Mo Ji was scratched by Ding Kui's words.
