Seven hundred and thirtieth eight chapters against the army
Nie Lingshan stood in a daze at the door of the barracks because he didn't know what he should do.
With this operation, His Majesty put the two of them directly in front of Lin Ye, as well as all the civil and military officials.
Originally, it would have been better for him and Zhu Xiaozhu to hide in a place like Shangfeng Tower. Although they were His Majesty's spies, there was basically no need for them.
It's good now that no one else found out that they were His Majesty's spies, so His Majesty named them directly.
At this moment, he saw the ball coming towards him, so he subconsciously avoided it.
Xue Tongchui swayed to his side, holding two apples in his hand, and handed one to Nie Lingshan.
Nie Lingshan was embarrassed to refuse. After all, Xue Tongchui was still a child, and the kindness shown by children was much simpler than that shown by adults.
He took the apple and was about to say thank you when he heard Xue Tongchui say to him... It's not washed, so rub it on your clothes.
Nie Lingshan nodded, rubbed the apple on his clothes, and was about to take a bite when Xue Tongchui reached out and wiped it clean, took the apple back, and handed the other one to him.
Xue Tongchui: "Thank you."
Nie Lingshan said in his heart that he was not too polite.
The other person is a child, so you can't really say bad words in front of a child.
He took the second apple and looked at it. He thought for a moment and then shook his head: "Thank you for giving me the apple. I don't want to eat it yet. I'll accept it first."
Xue Tongchui nuzzled at him: "I haven't washed this yet, you have to wipe it clean before you can eat it."
Nie Lingshan hummed, wiped the apple on his clothes, and then Xue Tongchui reached out and took it away again, and left without looking back.
Fortunately, the child was still polite and said thank you again.
Only then did Nie Lingshan realize that the ball just wanted him to rub the apple, and he had no intention of giving it to him from the beginning.
Nie Lingshan thought, if a child has such a sinister heart, how can General Lin Ye be such a good bird?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Lin Ye coming from a distance, and Nie Lingshan quickly stood up.
Seeing Lin Ye approaching, Xue Tongchui handed over an apple: "Brother Xiaosi, here it is, it's been wiped and it's clean."
Lin Ye asked: "Where did you wipe it?"
Xue Tongchui turned back and pointed at Nie Lingshan: "Looking at his clothes, this guy is okay and stupid, so he shouldn't have any bad intentions."
Lin Ye took the apple and handed it to Nie Lingshan when he passed by: "Next time, don't beat him just because he is a child."
Xue Tongchui: "嘁......"
Nie Lingshan said quickly: "Children are just lively."
Lin Ye motioned for him to take the apple. Nie Lingshan quickly stretched out his hand and was about to put it away when Lin Ye pointed: "That piece is not clean, please wipe it again."
Nie Lingshan: “????”
Seeing that he was a little dazed, Lin Ye took the apple back, wiped it on Nie Lingshan's clothes himself, and then walked away with the apple.
After walking a few steps, he saw Ning Zhu coming from the opposite side. Lin Ye handed the apple to Ning Zhu: "Here you go, polished."
Ning Zhu chuckled: "Thank you, General."
Then he looked at Nie Lingshan and said, "This is Mr. Cha."
Nie Lingshan: “????”
Ning Zhu took the apple and returned it to Xue Tongchui, asking: "Where did you get the apple?"
Xue Tongchui: "Didn't we capture two war horses? We found them in the pockets hanging on the horses. They are not fresh, but they taste quite sweet."
Nie Lingshan: "Mine?"
After a moment: "Mine!"
Xue Tongchui turned around and ran away, running very fast. Even though he was a perfect circle, he ran very slowly. Ning Zhu walked up to Nie Lingshan, smiled apologetically and said, "Don't mind, Mr. Nie."
, my junior brother is just a kid who won’t grow up.”
Nie Lingshan smiled and said: "No, no, how can I be like a child? Children, their nature is to play."
As he was talking, Ning Zhu asked him directly: "You are sent by His Majesty to monitor us, right?"
Nie Lingshan: "Pfft..."
Ning Zhu said: "Really?"
Nie Lingshan: "No, no, we were ordered to assist the general in reorganizing military affairs at the Nushan camp and to provide good service to the general's troops..."
Ning Zhu said: "Then they are indeed here to monitor us."
Nie Lingshan: "..."
Ning Zhu patted Nie Lingshan on the shoulder and said in an old-fashioned way: "There is no need to blame yourself, there is no need to feel rigid, and of course there is no need to feel uncomfortable. We have become accustomed to it over the years."
Nie Lingshan: "Are you used to it?"
Ning Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, people come one after another and leave one after another."
Nie Lingshan: "I left one after another..."
Ning Zhu nodded and encouraged Nie Lingshan: "I like you, and so does the general. You shouldn't leave so quickly."
Nie Lingshan thought to himself that this was a threat, you are threatening me.
Ning Zhu walked away with his hands behind his back. Nie Lingshan thought that these people were really confident, knowing that they were sent by His Majesty, yet they dared to threaten them so blatantly.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Lin Ye standing at the door of the house waving to him.
Nie Lingshan hurriedly stepped forward: "General, what do you have to say?"
Lin Ye motioned for him to come into the room. After the two sat down, Lin Ye pointed to the two small bags on the table.
Nie Lingshan quickly asked: "General, what is this?"
Lin Ye said: "Silver."
Nie Lingshan was stunned, wondering if he could bribe me so directly? Besides... that little money doesn't look like much.
In that small bag, there was only two or three taels of scattered silver at most, which really looked down on people.
Lin Ye said at this time: "Dafu Zao has only been doing business in Geling City for a few months. This is a dividend for all the soldiers of the Cowardly Army. You joined the Cowardly Army this month. This month you both have
, it will be gone next month, after all Dafuzao has returned to Yunzhou."
Nie Lingshan really didn't understand what this meant, and whether it was bribery.
Lin Ye said: "My original intention of founding Dafu Zao was to make some money for myself to live a better life. Later, when I joined the army, part of the money Dafu Zao earned was used to benefit the people, and part was used to distribute it to the soldiers."
"The imperial court has military pay, and soldiers who are injured or killed in battle also receive money. But after all, the amount is limited. They are all people who work hard for Dayu, so they deserve more money."
Nie Lingshan was really stunned this time.
Lin Ye continued: "Over the years, the business run by Dafu Zao has indeed made a lot of money, and most of it has been equally distributed to all the soldiers of the Cowardly Army. Regardless of official rank, everyone gets the same amount."
He glanced at Nie Lingshan and said: "I have told all my subordinates that you should not be dirty just for money. Leave it to me to make money, and leave it to you to protect our country."
Nie Lingshan sat there, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"We two are not qualified to take this money."
After a long time, Nie Lingshan said: "General, there is actually no need to tell me this."
Lin Ye said: "I have always been a simple person. When I join the Qiongmang Army, I am one of my own family members. Everyone should get as much as they deserve. I will try my best to make the soldiers of the Qiongmang Army live a better life than others, but
There is one thing, when you need to fight for Dayu, don't back down."
He picked up the silver and threw it to Nie Lingshan: "Take it, I will truthfully report the division of this silver to Your Majesty. Your Majesty knows from the beginning that you don't have to have any psychological burden."
Nie Lingshan was silent for a moment, then leaned forward and saluted: "Thank you, General."
After taking the money, he said goodbye and left, but he felt a little untrustworthy. How could Lin Ye tell him this kind of thing casually?
This alone can convict Lin Ye.
Don’t the people at Yushitai want some solid evidence? This is solid evidence.
The general orders his subordinates to engage in business, and then uses the proceeds from the business to win people's hearts. Isn't this a clique for personal gain and an attempt to commit rebellion?
What he heard with his own ears and the money in his hand were the real evidence. At this time, he immediately left the Nushan camp and returned to Geling, so that he could give a memorial to the people at the Yushitai to provide evidence.
So he felt that there must be a trap and that Lin Ye must have done it deliberately, but why Lin Ye would do this, he couldn't figure out for the time being.
After he went back to see Zhu Xiaozhu, he explained the matter in detail. Zhu Xiaozhu concluded that this was wooing, and it was called a long-term wooing. Don't look at the small amount given at one time, but the more often it is just to win people's hearts.
Moreover, Zhu Xiaozhu didn't believe that there were people who dared to do business privately and then blatantly distributed the money to the entire army.
So he ran out and asked, really asking without any concealment.
I asked one question after another, and the answers I got were all the same. Money can indeed be divided every month.
After Zhu Xiaozhu came back, he discussed with Nie Lingshan: "Let's go back now. Won't we have this evidence?"
Nie Lingshan said: "I don't think it's appropriate to go back like this. The general said that His Majesty knows it. If this is true, then what's the point of us going back?"
Zhu Xiaozhu said: "If we don't go back, something will happen sooner or later here. The people here are so abnormal that no one is normal."
Nie Lingshan shook his head and said: "This matter is not trivial. As long as it is publicized, he, the general, will definitely not be able to do it, and he will be imprisoned according to the national law. Are you telling us like this? We are outsiders."
Zhu Xiaozhu: "What do you mean?"
Nie Lingshan said: "Stay and investigate for a few more months. If it is true, it won't be too late for us to leave."
Zhu Xiaozhu: "It doesn't seem difficult for those guys to kill us both."
Nie Lingshan said: "If they want to kill us two, why not do it later? We were already dead when we were blocked last time."
The two looked at each other, both a little confused.
At this time, Lin Ye was pruning the potted plants he had just planted in the study.
Xie Yunxi came in from the door, Lin Ye quickly called his aunt, Xie Yunxi hummed, and then asked him: "Did you do it on purpose?"
Lin Ye nodded: "On purpose."
Xie Yunxi: "Why bother?"
Lin Ye said: "Your Majesty always wants to test me, so why not just point out something that can directly convict me?"
Xie Yunxi: "I said, don't make unnecessary bets."
Lin Ye said: "Your Majesty has been testing me for nothing else. I always feel that he wants to see how capable I am, where my upper limit is, and where my lower limit is."
Xie Yunxi: "That's why you want to rebel against an army like this? Just to see if your Majesty will do anything to you even if you took the initiative to confess such a big thing to outsiders."
She looked into Lin Ye's eyes and asked: "What if he kills you, cuts off your cowardly army, and dismisses your generals, you will lose in a mess."
Lin Ye hummed.
Xie Yunxi took two steps forward, came to Lin Ye, and stared into Lin Ye's eyes: "You are never rash, why is it this time?"
Lin Ye didn't answer.
After a while, Xie Yunxi asked: "You don't want to rebel against the general, but you want to see what the emperor's bottom line is for you."
If the emperor still refuses to deal with this rebel general, Lin Ye may have some idea of who he is.
