Chapter 16 "What did you say?"
In Zhenyuan General's Mansion, Xi Qi looked at the porter, smiled and said: "Your general asked me to come over, my name is Xi, please inform me."
The guard guarding the gate looked at Xi Qi up and down, "Please wait a moment, we can see you after the notification."
Xi Qi nodded and sat on the spring bench at the door.Dressed in blue and wearing a silver mask, he doesn't look like an inward-looking figure.
"Seventh brother, why are you here at this time?" He Zhengxing was training soldiers in the mansion, and he was training the guards in the mansion. When he heard that a man surnamed Xi was coming, he thought for a moment that this man was going to come to kill him.
"Brother He, I saw that it was time for dinner, so I came to you to ask for a glass of water and wine." Xi Qi smiled and cupped his hands, and the guards next to him retreated one after another seeing his general's appearance.
"Hahaha, okay, brother, although there are no delicacies from mountains and seas, there are wine and meat, which is enough for my brother to have a pair of chopsticks." He Zheng smiled brightly, looked up at the sky, no, it was already afternoon.
"Come here, prepare the table in the hall." He Zhengxing led Xi Qi to the main room, and the two sat down as guest and host.Xi Qi smiled and said: "The world is unpredictable." One month ago, he was still on the roof thinking about how to get close, but he didn't expect that the two of them would become brothers after two days on the mountain.
"Seventh brother, what's the problem with coming here this time?" He Zhengxing was very interested in Xi Qi's words in the wing room, and even stayed in Izumo Temple for a day, but no matter how he made insinuations, Xi Qi couldn't understand a word, and he couldn't understand it. It's hard to ask clearly, although several people know it well, after all, Xi Qi didn't say it directly to him.
"There are tens of thousands of unsatisfactory things in the world. There are no difficulties at any time. It's like being hungry when it's time to eat. If you want to cook, you have to have a house first. If you want to eat well, you have to have money first. Like my brother, I have nothing. , I can only brazenly disturb my friends." Xi Qi smiled and stopped talking nonsense.Anyway, if He Zhengxing didn't say it clearly, he just pretended to be stupid, and sooner or later he would ask He Zhengxing to reveal his hole cards to him.
"What's the trouble? My general's mansion has always been murderous, and I'm not often in the capital, and few people dare to come here." He Zhengxing smiled, thinking about the communication with Prime Minister You in the past two days after coming down from the mountain. It seems that Xi Qi's goal is to make money, and, with his identity, he works so hard to get closer to the court, so he can't scare the people in the court to death?
"Hahaha, this murderous aura is not enough." Xi Qi shook his head, "If the general sees those murderous people, he will know that the killing aura on the battlefield does not count as murderous aura."
I don't need to go, there is only one in front of me, and He Zhengxing looked Xi Qi up and down, the meaning of which is self-evident.Xi Qi looked at himself, "The general thinks that if I show my murderous intent, I can still enter the gate of your general's mansion?"
"I can't come in." He Zhengxing shook his head. At this time, the butler came up and said that the food was ready. It was a meal, and there was only one guest. Two fine countertop dishes were enough to support the table.
Xi Qi smiled without saying a word, and changed the topic to another place.The next day, it was still the same.
On the third day, when Xi Qi reached the door, the guard went in.
On the fourth day, when Xi Qi walked to the door, He Zhengxing was already waiting at the door.
There are only three things, Xi Qi secretly thought, today is the day, if they want to control Jianghu well, they must have someone related to Jianghu, and he is the best choice.Although, hehehe, the corners of Xi Qi's mouth curled up, and he came to He Zhengxing with a sincere smile on his face.
"Seventh brother came early today." He Zhengxing smiled, prepared in his heart.
"I saw a strange thing today, and I want to ask Brother He to comment on it." Xi Qi looked at He Zhengxing with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Oh? Then come to the study." He Zhengxing nodded secretly, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. These days, every day is a challenge to his head.
"That's exactly what I mean." Xi Qi nodded and said.
In the study, He Zhengxing listened to the so-called wonders outside the Great Wall, "You mean, the strange horses outside the Great Wall can resist the Wanma of Northern Hungary?"
"Dawan horses are tall and healthy, and they are indeed good cavalry for cavalry, but compared to humans, they have slender legs, an unstable chassis, and are not good at carrying heavy loads." Xi Qi blinked, "The new breed outside the Great Wall is the introduction of Dawan horses and local walks. The horses are bred slightly lower than Dawan horses, but they are good at carrying loads and climbing, and they have a beautiful body and beautiful coat color. The most important thing is that these horses are warlike and are not afraid of fire. Do you think it is magical?"
You can simply say that you are preparing for the war. When He Zhengxing was talking nonsense with Xi Qi these days, he has already learned that the power, manpower, funds, and beliefs of this devil are worth more than each.It has to be said that his crooked way is much easier to cooperate with than those reserved and decent.He Zhengxing was successfully brainwashed.
"It's really amazing, but it's a pity that I have important business, so I can't go and see for myself. If it is really better than the horses we used first, it will be a good thing to use the horses from this racecourse from now on." He Zhengxing gritted his teeth and looked at Xi Qida's eyes. Shake your head.
"Indeed." Xi Qi pretended to ponder for a while, and then said: "However, Big Brother He has such intentions. Brother Yu is planning to leave Beijing and go north. If he can make a detour to the racecourse, it will be a great achievement to bring Big Brother He's kindness to him. , I don’t know if elder brother He believes in younger brother or not?”
In the past few days, He Zhengxing has understood that when Xi Qi starts to speak human language, what he speaks is not human language. "Elder brother He understands the seventh brother's wishes. If the owner of the racecourse does not agree, it is inconvenient to force him. If the owner of the racecourse thinks it is feasible, I can send someone to negotiate. I will leave everything to the seventh brother." He Zhengxing smiled with his hands clasped, saying to himself Why don't you just say it directly?
"Then this time is a farewell for me?" Xi Qi blinked, and instantly changed his appearance, seeing He Zhengxing's face as dark as ink and white teeth clenched, smiling brightly.Sure enough, people with scruples are the funniest, and as long as they are good people, they have weaknesses.
"Of course, this time it's the seventh brother who has worked hard." He Zhengxing smiled. If the horse is really like what Xi Qi said, it would be a great deed to be included in the army.
"To help the elder brother, why bother to talk about it, besides, I remember that the elder brother has a garrison arrangement for Shuzhou." Xi Qi's eyes wandered, halfway through speaking, he looked at He Zhengxing.
"That's right, thanks to today's trust, Bian Nan asked about policy, but I'm not very familiar with Shuzhou, so I can only make a slight change in this matter of defense. We have to wait for more detailed information to come." He Zhengxing said, there is , but it's useless, I'm just an infrastructure, so don't make up your mind.
"It's like this. I know a few merchants who travel in Shuzhou. They are very familiar with the terrain of Shuzhou, the distribution of bandits, and the settlements. If you need me, I can contact them for a while, so that you can deploy your defenses." Arrangement." Xi Qi smiled: "Since the Holy Majesty asks elder brother Bian Nan for advice, it means that the current General Annan has done something wrong, but?"
"What are you going to do?" He Zhengxing stared, why did he think there was a problem?Xi Qi blinked, "In the land of Shuzhou, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, there are many rapids and backwaters, and there are many brave people in the mountains. General Annan - the eldest brother can start to arrange candidates for succession, for example - those who are not strong-minded, those who need to be trained, or Cliques."
"What did you say?" He Zhengxing looked at Xi Qi with a serious expression.
"I said, sometimes you can choose to raise wolves when your subordinates are too shrewd, but you have to keep the eagle that hunts the wolf in your own hands. Just like what I told Zheng Er at the time, throw away if you don't obey, and hold if you are obedient." Xi Seven smiled, shaking the shochu in his glass, "It's much simpler among us sergeants than literati. We are also more prone to make mistakes."
"The seventh brother is not in the army, but he understands the rules of the sergeant." He Zhengxing gritted his teeth, "In this case, I will entrust the matter of Shuzhou to the seventh brother."
"I wish you success soon." Xi Qi smiled, a kind of flame called ambition burning in the four pairs of eyes.
"It's time to succeed." He Zhengxing took a sip of wine, and Xi Qi smiled and respected again, his mind was messed up, even if he was drunk after a thousand cups.
