Song Chengxuan stood up, cleaned his face, and then sat down to read the official documents.
The only sound in the room was the sound of Song Chengxuan flipping through documents. Yong Ye, who was standing next to him, felt that the atmosphere was a little gloomy. In fact, the young master was also like this in the past. Sometimes he wouldn't say a word for a whole day. Maybe it was because the young master had become a little unknowingly these days.
He felt uncomfortable with the change and now suddenly returning to the original state.
well.
Yong Ye sighed from the bottom of his heart. Before coming to the capital, he felt unspeakably uneasy, fearing that something would go wrong. Now that he had left...he missed it again. In fact, the capital was pretty good.
He couldn't explain why it was good. For example, there was Miss Xu in the capital.
Thinking of this, Yongye took another peek at the young master to see if he missed his life in the capital and whether they would come again.
"Sir, Zhao Tong is here to greet you."
Zhao Tong was brought out by Song Chengxuan. Now he was promoted to captain by Xue Chen. Because he was brave and good at fighting, he was quite famous in the Quanzhou Navy. This time Song Chengxuan left Quanzhou, Zhao Tong also wanted to follow him, but because he had an official position,
Because of his body, it was quite inconvenient to walk outside, so Song Chengxuan left him with Xue Chen.
While talking, two figures entered the room.
Song Chengxuan raised his eyes and looked over. His eyes fell on the face of the man walking in front, and his expression froze slightly. "Military advisor, why are you here?"
Xue Chen looked Song Chengxuan up and down eagerly, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Master, you are really driving me to death."
When the young master left Quanzhou that day, they made it very clear that as long as the situation in the northwest was discovered, the young master would immediately return to the southeast. Now they should concentrate on running Quanzhou, recharge their batteries, and try not to interfere with outside affairs.
Today's Zhou regime is unstable and various forces are secretly fighting each other. It can be said to be complicated and complicated. If you accidentally get involved, you will have to deal with various incidents. It will definitely be detrimental to Quanzhou.
Although he is a military advisor, sometimes his thinking is not as thorough as the master's. He knows that he does not need to give more instructions, and the master will never make the slightest mistake.
Unexpectedly, things have changed a lot. Not only did the young master not come back on time, but he also investigated the case in the capital. He was really worried. You must know that the old and cunning guy Hong Chuanting had been thinking about the young master for a long time and wanted to
The young master is promoted to serve the great Zhou Dynasty. If he takes this opportunity to transfer the young master away from Quanzhou, then he will really be in trouble every day.
Finally, the case was concluded. Fortunately, Hong Chuanting was still restrained and did not play any tricks to rob him. He immediately wrote to the young master, asking the young master to return to the southeast immediately. Unexpectedly, the young master's reply said that he still wanted to stay.
Thoroughly investigate the Changzhou smuggling case in the capital.
After learning about this, he wished he could immediately appear in front of the young master to persuade him.
The Changzhou smuggling case involves Zhang Yucong. The young master cannot face the Zhang family yet. Although he is extremely anxious, he is apparently the commander-in-chief of the Navy in Quanzhou. If he just abandons everything and leaves Quanzhou, I am afraid it will cause bigger problems.
He had no choice but to write letters of advice and make secret arrangements just in case.
During the days in Quanzhou, he lived like a year, but the young master seemed to be very calm. He even sent a message to him to prepare ships and manpower in case the Japanese pirates attacked.
Yongye closed the door.
Song Chengxuan welcomed Xue Chen aside and sat down.
"Sir," Xue Chen still doesn't understand, "why do you want to take this risk? If there is even the slightest mistake in your trip, it will really kill me."
Song Chengxuan was as calm as ever, "This is an opportunity. Smuggling is rampant in Changzhou, and the military advisor has been worried for a long time. This time, we can kill two birds with one stone by getting rid of Zhang Yucong and investigating Changzhou."
I was thinking about the reason all the way, but I didn't expect the young master to say it so easily.
Xue Chen frowned, "Is it because of this? The young master is really worried about the affairs in Changzhou. He can do it secretly, so why expose it in front of the Zhang family." This is not in line with the young master's temperament.
Song Chengxuan said, "I didn't put much effort into this case. The military advisors don't have to worry about it. If we win this battle, the soldiers in Quanzhou will get some military merits and the sea will be peaceful for a few days."
Xue Chen looked at Yong Ye beside him. Yong Ye always lowered his head and said nothing. Xue Chen was more confused. Since he assisted the young master, he and the young master talked about everything, but there was nothing too much.
It was a secret, but this time he clearly felt that the young master was hiding something from him.
And the young master's attitude towards this matter is extremely firm.
This was the first time he encountered such a situation after coming to Quanzhou, and he keenly felt that this matter was of great importance and might affect the young master's future choices.
Xue Chen became even more vigilant. In this case, he had to be careful. It was not advisable to continue questioning at this time, lest he arouse the young master's resentment.
Xue Chen calmed down and continued, "I thought Hong Chuanting would recommend the young master to lead troops to Changzhou, but unexpectedly he released the young master back. Does the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Civil Affairs have any decision on the selection of soldiers in Changzhou?"
The imperial court had just issued an official document, so Xue Chen naturally didn't know about it yet.
Song Chengxuan took a sip of tea and said, "Marquis Anyi."
Xue Chen was stunned, "Marquis Anyi?" He looked at Song Chengxuan, and saw that Song Chengxuan's expression was calm, as if he was talking about a stranger.
Everything seems to be normal, but there is something weird everywhere. What happened in Beijing.
Why does it feel like everything has changed in the blink of an eye?
Xue Chen had to continue changing the topic, "Since the imperial court has sent troops, it can be seen that it is determined to clean up Changzhou. The Zhang family has deep roots in Changzhou. If the emperor wants to eradicate it, I am afraid he will pay a high price. I guess no matter who leads the troops there
There will be a lot of casualties, although we don't want to see such a result...
But there are some benefits. After this incident, the emperor knew the ambitions of the Zhang family. Suppressing his relatives would be a blessing rather than a disaster for the world. After this battle, our seas are stable and we can free up our hands and feet to govern the southeast. It is indeed a good thing for the young master.
."
No matter who leads the troops there will be heavy casualties.
When Song Chengxuan heard this, he didn't listen to the rest of the words.
I'm afraid that not only those leading the troops will be killed or injured, but also the people who go to Changzhou to investigate the case will be in danger, and she has the kind of temperament that will never give up until the end.
After Xue Chen finished speaking, he found that the young master narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought. His heart sank again. Since they met, he had changed the topic three times in a row, but he seemed to be blocked at every turn. What was the problem?
"Young master, will you still want to interfere in Changzhou's affairs?" Xue Chen asked tentatively.
"No," Song Chengxuan said, "I just remember that there are many maritime merchants in Changzhou. Now the situation in Changzhou has changed. I want to know what their plans are."
He also said that he didn't care about Changzhou's affairs, but wanted to inquire about the movements of those maritime merchants.
Xue Chen didn't say anything, and Song Chengxuan continued, "Acquisition of these maritime merchants is also beneficial to us in Quanzhou."
This truth was correct, but Xue Chen still felt it was far-fetched. Thinking of this, Xue Chen glanced at Yong Ye again, only to find that Yong Ye had already slipped away from the door and was standing there with his back to them.
