Chapter 256 Female Marshal "Speaking of which, when you go over, the first thing people ask is whether you have eaten..." In the gorgeously decorated and spacious hall, a middle-aged woman in red took a sip of tea and raised her head.
Come on, "So you had lunch at his house."
It was afternoon, and the sun shone brightly from the patio into the yard. Under the eaves near the hall, there were female soldiers standing guard. The middle-aged women were not beautiful, probably in their thirties, but they had a strong and tall figure.
He was wearing a red uniform that looked like a battle robe, and he looked quite heroic. An Xifu, who was dressed in black, stood at the door of the hall and cupped his hands: "Uh... to report back to the marshal... yes."
"Just call me Aunt Baihua." This middle-aged woman is Fang La's sister Fang Baihua, who is now the marshal of the northwest section of Fang La's army. She is highly skilled in martial arts and was originally a member of the Manichean branch led by Fang La.
The saint was fighting continuously at this time. Even though she was a woman, she was full of coercion and murderous intent. But now she had a smile on her face, showing a little gentleness. She put down the teacup and waved her hand: "I thought you would meet at noon.
Come, ask the kitchen to prepare food, Xi... Xixi also has something to do and can't come over. What do you think of that person?"
"Calm down and doesn't talk much, but his temperament and demeanor are quite heartwarming."
"It must be good for Sissi to think so highly of him. Did you talk to him about anything?"
"I...asked him about his views on the subsequent battle situation after the Battle of Huzhou. If he was not injured to the point of coma at the time, how he would cope with the subsequent battle situation."
"His answer."
"He did not answer directly. He only said that the battlefield situation was changing rapidly and everything that could be done had been done. If the enemy could not be wiped out at that time, the next step would be to follow the steps and return to Huzhou alive."
Fang Baihua nodded: "It's quite satisfactory. What he did in Huzhou was just to take a risk and risk death to survive. It's not surprising that a scholar who is in a hurry would do such a thing. But I heard that what he did in Hangzhou
At that time, his chain-linked plan almost caught Seventh Brother and the others out. This is his powerful ability... Let's leave it like this. Since Sissi wants to use him, you just help to watch. Sissi will not blindly follow people when she uses them.
I’m still relieved.”
She is also a person who is busy with everything, but she is just asking because the matter is related to the Ba Dao camp. At this point, she will not care anymore: "I will go to see Shenggong later. You were in Huzhou to supervise the battle before, and you didn't
When you come back, I see that the promotion list only gave you the rank of general. I plan to give you a few more ranks. What do you think?"
"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Baihua. Xifu only has 300 Black Winged Guards. It doesn't matter what the official position is."
"The Black Winged Guards are in charge of military law. They are elites. You are my subordinate and you have a higher official position. It is reasonable. Besides, Hangzhou has been troubled recently. When your Black Winged Guards come back, I plan to ask Shenggong to patrol Hangzhou.
I have entrusted you with the responsibility. If you have a high official rank, you can control people, and your name is justified."
An Xifu frowned: "Previously, regarding the inspections, Commander Fo was entrusted to Chen Fan. Chen Fan did a good job. If it were left to me, I'm afraid..."
Fang Baihua waved her hand: "Chen Fan is good at doing things and can manage the overall situation, but if he is too informal about small details, I am afraid he will offend many people. Now that Shenggong is proclaimed emperor, he should be called your majesty. It is not good for the city of Hangzhou to keep him like this.
If you continue to kill, you should have some decency."
An Xifu cupped his hands and said, "If Chen Fan hadn't been like this, he would be in Hangzhou now..."
The person on the other side interrupted him: "You are different from Chen Fan. You also have the courage to do things, but where you can be gentle, you can always be gentler. In fact, I just came back today, and someone has already told me about Chen Fan. Just now
At noon, Dao Yi also came to see me. It is true that some of his men are committing lawlessness, but if Chen Fan is allowed to continue to kill like this, he may not be able to suppress it anymore. He has already made concessions on this matter. Chen Fan should give in.
Give him some face."
Fang Baihua said, looking at An Xifu's expression, she frowned again: "I also know what you think of Master Bao Tianshi. I also know about him. He is a bit messy. He likes beautiful women and loves beautiful women.
We do have some wealth. But we killed people and rebelled against Li Shantou. Who is not like this? There are differences in small details. It is not surprising. In the past, when people entered the city, they did not seal their swords for three days. They robbed what should be taken. Now it is said that
To become an emperor, one should be particular about it, but this kind of attention has to be gained slowly."
She then smiled and said, "I know Chen Fan. He has a fiery temperament and doesn't seem to think about anything. In fact, he is very smart, but... he asks for too much and thinks too well of people. Now you can see him beating him."
They are all under Master Baotian and know how to exercise restraint. But if he continues like this, after a while, he may really attack Dao Yi. When Brother Seven comes back, he can talk about Dao Yi. If he does this,
There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. After much deliberation, I think you know the right thing to do after all. When this matter is settled, you think about how to manage the city of Hangzhou well."
"...Yes." An Xifu accepted the order. He had some opinions about Bao Daoyi, but he also knew the friendship between Fang Baihua and others. Bao Daoyi was originally the leader of Manichaeism, and now he can be regarded as Fang Lazuo.
One of the largest mountains in the mountains, his subordinates are a mixture of dragons and snakes from the three sects and nine sects. However, he had a life-long friendship with Fang La and Fang Baihua in Manichaeism. Although everyone knows that he is not a good person, Fang La's military department
Apart from a few people such as Fang Qifu, no one can touch him.
He understood Fang Baihua's thoughts. Compared with Chen Fan, at least in terms of "not moving Bao Dao B", he might be more suitable to maintain Hangzhou. He couldn't move Bao Dao B anyway. As for Chen Fan,
, although that guy will always tell himself in his heart "You can't touch Bao Dao B" and "You can't touch Bao Dao B", but maybe as he says this, he can't help but hit Bao Dao B on the head with a stone mill.
——Although I really want to see such a scene.
After saying this, he said a few short and long greetings as usual. Fang Baihua asked about An Xifu's wives and concubines at home, and said: "Xifu, I told you last time, my niece, Ah Qiao, is Enxifu."
It’s been a long time since I met you, how about we find a time for you two to meet formally?”
An Xifu's face was expressionless. After a moment, he cupped his hands and said, "I already have a wife and two concubines at home. I feel it's troublesome and I can't cope with it."
Fang Baihua smiled and said: "If a woman suppresses a man, one wife is enough. If a man suppresses a woman, it doesn't matter how many wives or concubines there are. If you find it troublesome, just ask them to go away. How about it, Ah Qiao
Now in the army, she is deeply loved, and her subordinates..."
She has always had a bold personality. In the past, her husband-in-law was a scholar. Fang Baihua was relatively strong and always took charge of the family affairs. She was considered the former. However, she was still quite gentle and virtuous towards her husband. She took care of everything at home and outside. But for ordinary families, she also
These are relatively common male chauvinistic ideas. It has never been taken for granted that a truly capable man has three wives and four concubines. At this time, he introduced the benefits of nieces, such as "If she likes you, just take her back as a concubine."
"You can beat me or scold me as you please", An Xifu listened to a few words and replied: "She looks like a cow."
"Uh..." Fang Baihua thought for a moment, "Let's talk about it later."
One or two more words, when An Xifu was about to leave, Fang Baihua said: "As for Ning Liheng, he is now considered a member of the Holy Duke. In a few days, we might as well arrange a seat for him at the official banquet.
I have put an end to his thoughts of turning back and seeking peace, and secondly, I want to see what kind of person he is... Just go ahead, if you think he is still trustworthy, you might as well tell him about this matter."
Without An Xifu's notification or Fang Baihua's arrangements, Ning Yi already knew the news about the official banquet held in La La in a few days.
He has a seat.
Although joining the Ba Dao Camp was not too public, after Fang La established the prototype of the entire imperial court, Liu Xigua still arranged an official position for him. The position was naturally not high, and the official position was a bit vague. It was said that he was Ba Dao Camp.
When he wrote the document, his rank was originally said to be ninth rank. Today, he was asked to prepare for a banquet of hundreds of officials that would take place in a few days. Liu Xigua changed it to seventh rank. In short, he was still a minor official who could not be used to bully others.
At this time, there are not many such levels in the Fang La system, but the banquet of hundreds of officials on August 20th is relatively formal. It is said that all officials and generals in Hangzhou, large and small, must participate. People like Liu Xigua can even do it by themselves.
The number of people arranged to go, in total, would be about four to five hundred people. This was Fang La's first formal banquet after he ascended the throne. If the imperial court would arrange spies here, most of the people at the banquet would be officially recorded.
On file.
This matter was quite serious, but for Ning Yi, it was actually a relief. He was originally worried that if Liu Xigua wanted to make his joining a big deal, it would be difficult to clear up the matter in the future, and the entire Su family would probably
They would all be implicated. Fortunately, Liu Xigua did not do this. Now he can only be thankful that the other party underestimated the power available behind him. With the relationship between Kang Xian and Qin Siyuan, when the matter is pressed to this level, it should still be possible to suppress it. If
A few levels higher, it's hard to say.
At noon, I received An Xifu for a meal, and in the afternoon I came to Liu Xigua's mansion. There were not many questions today. Liu Xigua greeted him about a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and told him about the banquet of hundreds of officials.
things, and then gave him some holiday things. Among them were half a catty of meat, a fish, and a few eggs. Ba Dao camp did not have much supplies now. At least from what Ning Yi knew, Liu Xigua himself was also very frugal and had meat.
Eggs are quite generous.
He picked up things in the warehouse, and when passing by a corridor on the side, he suddenly heard a voice: "Qin Huai, chess friend." The meat on Ning Yi's hand fell to the ground, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was the door of a room next to him.
It was opened a crack, and someone was talking there. He took a breath and looked behind him while he was picking up meat. Perhaps because everyone had passed by to distribute things today, there was a brief blank in this small courtyard. He is now considered to be
After joining the Ba Dao Camp, Ah Chang, Ah Ming and others who would follow him before are no longer able to follow him like that now. However, the Ba Dao Camp has always been a relatively elite team in the rebel army, and this person should not be one of them.
But I don’t know how I got in.
When he squatted down, he only heard the man say: "There is no one here at the moment, so I can talk. I heard that I have been told to rescue Mr. Ning."
It's not that Ning Yi never thought that someone would be sent from outside before, but if the other party chooses to contact him in the small courtyard where Ning Yi lives or when he is on the street, it will be very dangerous. Although the risk is taken at this time, Ning Yi is somewhat relieved.
His tone and thoughts turned sharply: "It's impossible for the time being, how many people know about me."
"It is strictly ordered by the superiors that this matter must be handled by the subordinate in person, and the young master's situation cannot be endangered due to mistakes, so only the next person knows about it for the time being."
This was probably done by veterans like Mr. Qin or Kang Xian. Ning Yi finally relaxed and said: "Keep it secret, stay put, and don't contact me again for at least a month." He finished speaking softly and left quickly.
It is a good thing and a bad thing for someone to contact and rescue him. The last time he planned to arrest Fang Qifu and others, the incident of leaking the information when a spy was caught is still fresh in his mind, but this time it seems more reliable. Only
However, the circle he has been in contact with recently is not large, and he has not really integrated into Hangzhou. It is impossible for the other party to rescue him, and the danger of contact is also extremely high.
To deal with this matter, in the next month, he had to start going out, expanding his circle of contact with others, and then muddying the water a little bit...
