Chapter 499 Minion
Nian Yao drank wine,
he claimed to have changed from "minion" to "I",
The change in temperament was particularly obvious;< br>
The fearful slave from before disappeared, replaced by the great general of Da Chu.
The eighth prince felt a little out of breath at this moment. The "minion" in front of him gave him the same feeling as when he faced Qu Tiannan.
After all, he was the commander-in-chief who once commanded the 200,000 Chu imperial imperial army. Even though he is currently idle in Yingdu, this qualification and experience cannot be erased.
Jing Renli lowered his head slightly. In fact, after learning that the boat opposite was Nian Yao's boat, he quietly retreated to the corner and stopped talking.
Others can look down on Nian Yao's background.
Even if Jing Renli doesn't pay attention to him, his surname is Jing, so he can naturally show off in front of Nian Yao. But was Jing Renli attracted by Nian Yao in the first place? Yao gave him a push, and then he had the opportunity to enter this circle as a descendant of the Pang family of Jing family.
It was impossible for him to be disrespectful to Nian Yao, both emotionally and rationally.
In addition, Nian Yao was unknown to others, but Jing Renli knew how sophisticated his methods were.
A good family background can help people achieve twice the result with half the effort in their official careers, while a poor family background often means doing twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, Nian Yao was able to occupy a high position because he was born as a domestic slave, which shows his ability.
Nian Yao pointed at the boatmen on the boat and said: "The boat is docked."
When those boatmen were pointed at, there was a rush of blood from their foreheads to their tail bones. A biting chill hit me, and I immediately began to rock the boat to the shore.
After the boat docked at the shore,
Nian Yao adjusted his clothes and adjusted the accessories around his waist, then gently waved his sleeves and got off the boat.
Zhao Cha looked at the retreating figures of Nian Yao and the Phoenix Nest guard,
disdainfully said:
"Oh, this slave really knows how to put on airs."
The eighth prince picked up the wine pot and filled the wine glass in front of Zhaocha.
Zhao Cha smiled and said: "Thank you so much..."
"Pa!"
The Eighth Prince picked up the wine glass in front of Zhao Cha and poured the wine inside directly. Splashed on Zhaocha's face.
On the other hand, Si Kang looked shocked when he saw this scene.
Jing Renli put his hands under his body and his face was calm.
Zhao Cha blinked and did not wipe the wine from his face, letting it drip.
The Eighth Prince silently poured another glass for Zhaocha,
This time,
did not spill it,
Instead, he said:
"In any army, when something happens, the soldiers will look at the corps commander, and the corps commander will look at the commander. They will look all the way up and see their own generals, and then the generals of each group will look at them together. The commander-in-chief.
Therefore, anyone can cause chaos, but the commander-in-chief cannot. Chaos, he is the needle that stabilizes the sea, and must be stabilized.
What is the purpose of the pillar country of my country?
Look, here in Mijiang. How many dignitaries and dignitaries gather here? How many ordinary people focus on this?
Previously, Deng Man was wearing a fire phoenix burning cloud suit, and he used Qinggong to ride the waves directly from the water. This outfit and this skill attracted the attention of many nearby families?
Say,
If they see Nian Yao hurriedly ashore without waiting for the boat to dock,
and then rush to the palace in a hurry;
< br>Speculations and rumors will soon arise, causing people's hearts to wander and causing turmoil.
Nian Yao, you did the right thing, do you understand? ”
Zhaocha nodded and said:
"Understood."
The Eighth Prince smiled, took out the handkerchief, and wiped Zhaocha's face. Zhaocha sat there and asked He rubs.
"I was born in the royal family, and you were born in the Zhao family. If Dachu is still there, we can always be rich and happy;
We can have sex, and we can entertain ourselves as much as we want. Just being a rice worm is pretty good;
But never be a fool. "
Zhaocha nodded again and said: "I understand, thank you for your advice, Your Highness. "
"What should we do next? "
Zhaocha said; "Go back and tell your family about this? "
The Eighth Prince shook his head and sighed. Obviously, he was not satisfied with this answer.
Immediately,
His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince pointed at Jing Renli who was standing there,
said:
“Say.”
Jing Renli immediately pointed. The boatman shouted:
"Drive the boat back to the river."
The boatmen followed the instructions and drove the boat back to the river, and it was close to the flower boat of Nian Yao's family.
At this time,
seeing the ship sailing back again,
Nian Yao's brother-in-law and the burly servant all knelt on the deck, trembling.
They had previously learned the identity of the owner of this ship from Nian Yao.
Thinking back to their previous rude remarks, even those dirty words, and seeing the ship coming again, it felt like the sky was falling.
Jing Renli climbed onto the other party’s boat, put his arm around Nian Yao’s brother-in-law’s shoulders, and said with a smile:
“Come on, come down, our Highness will treat you to a drink.”
< br>The brother-in-law was brought to the Huafang where His Highness the Eighth Prince and others were sitting in a daze.
Jing Renli silently stepped back to the side.
The Eighth Prince took the initiative to stand up, pulled Nian Yao's brother-in-law's sleeves, and asked him to sit down.
At the same time, he said with a smile:
"Meeting is fate, just like what Sister Chun in the pink tent likes to say, beating is pain, scolding is love, we are just brothers, you This bad breath problem must be corrected in the future. Don’t scold me so unpleasantly.”
“Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness, I deserve a lot of punishment...”
His Highness the Eighth Prince patted his shoulder affectionately and said to Zhao Cha, who was sitting opposite: "What are you doing standing around? Pour wine for our new friends. From now on, everyone will Let’s play together.”
Zhao Cha had a warm smile on his face, stood up, and poured wine.
Soon,
There was laughter and laughter again on the boat.
His Royal Highness also composed a poem and recited it loudly.
Gradually,
the noisy sounds on the nearby flower boats and shelves on the shore gradually returned.
……
On the other hand,
Nian Yao refused Deng Man's suggestion to ride a fast horse into the palace and instead got on his family's carriage.
In the carriage,
Nian Yao said to the Fengchao inner guard beside the regent:
“Stool, don’t panic, it’s useless to panic. At this time, the less you panic, the more likely you are to do bad things. I know that you have a talent for martial arts since you were a child, but today is not the time to do that light skill."
Deng Man was also a member of Fourth Master's family, but he was just a little younger than Nian Yao. When he was a child, Deng Man liked to follow Nian Yao's butt, so he didn't feel restrained when speaking.
"Yes, Brother Nian, I was reckless."
"You, you still have little experience in things. Come, tell me in detail, so as not to have to go to the king again. It's a waste of time."
"Now, we only know that the Emperor of Yan issued an edict to attack Chu, and the rest is not clear. This news is that people in Yanjing City are desperately trying. In order to send it back to Yingdu as soon as possible, our brothers on the line between Yan and Jin suffered a lot."
The secret espionage department of Yan and the silver of Qian. Jiawei, as well as Fengchao of Chu State, were secret agents internally, allowing the emperor to control his own country and the officials, but at the same time, they also played a role in spying on military affairs externally.
To a certain extent, external infiltration and spying are their real duties.
On this point, the Silver Armored Guards of the Qian Kingdom did the best. On the intelligence front, the Silver Armored Guards have never been at a disadvantage, and even once made the Yan Kingdom Secret Intelligence Department very embarrassed. It was a pity that Qianren was The army was too stretched, and the sacrifices of many of its silver-armored guards were in vain.
The Emperor of Yan issued an edict in Yanjing in front of all the officials and people. There is no need to hide this matter, and it cannot be concealed.
Including the crazy war mobilization that is going on in Dayan and Sanjin at this time, it is impossible to hide it.
This, after all, is a national war.
But the significance of the difference is that if one party could learn about it earlier and respond earlier, the situation would be much different.
Therefore, in order to pass the news back to Yingdu as soon as possible, the Fengchao spies had no choice but to violate the regulations and standards of lurking in other countries, and were dug out by the secret agent Shunman.
But at any rate,
the news
was delivered back in time.
The "timely" here refers to the extreme that they can achieve.
But in fact,
when Dayan has already begun to carry out general mobilization for war, Chu will inevitably be slow, but fortunately Chu is the defensive side and has room for maneuver. It's still relatively big.
Nian Yao frowned. As a general, he didn’t like the feeling of his eyes darkening during a battle, but he also knew that he couldn’t force too much on this matter. Fengchao was in this situation As for the matter, I have tried my best.
“The most important thing now is the scale of Yan’s troop dispatch this time. We must find out as soon as possible.”
"Don't worry, Brother Nian, I think it won't be long before news comes."
Due to the geographical distance, it is already too late to increase the intelligence here at this time. , we can only rely on the Phoenix Nest guards over there to continue to send out a few messages.
"Brother Nian, what do you think this time..."
Nian Yao shook his head and said: "You know the uncle Pingye who came to our Chu land to snatch the princess, right?"
"Of course I know that it would be a shame for me to let him leave."
"When he was serving as a garrison in a fortress in Yinlang County of Yan State, he took the initiative to lead his troops south to Qian State several times without any military orders. He attacked Mianzhou City twice."
< br>"Brother Nian, I know this, Zheng Fan The person’s resume has been recorded in my mind.”
“No, what I mean is that Zheng Fan back then was just like Tian Wujing now. Zheng Fan’s military commander back then. , so every time he goes south, although he can steal military exploits and let Qian Qian It's boring to be disgraced, but the three sides of fighting are still three sides.
The same goes for Tian Wu Jing. The last time I played against Tian Wu Jing, it was because I also picked up on him. It is impossible for my son to really come to attack the city, so I can believe that I should take it easy. I know that as long as I hold my breath, even if Tian Wujing is the God of War, he will never come to Zhennan Pass to assassinate me alone, right?"
"Brother Nian, what do you think? This means..."
Nian Yao pursed his lips and said:
“But when the Yan army went south, Zheng Fan could not gnaw down Ganren San by himself for three to five years. A huge hole was torn out in an instant, Yan Ren's The cavalry once even hit Qianren Shangjing City.
Similarly,
Last time, Tian Wujing was just playing for fun. We both knew that under Zhennan Pass, there was no way. Maybe a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood;
But this time, the emperor of Yan who issued the edict was completely different.
One is the border army general’s itchy use of troops, and the country’s all-out use of troops. The gap between the two is comparable to the chasm! ”
Speaking of this,
Nian Yao closed his eyes silently,
continued:
“Zhennanguan, there is absolutely no room for failure.”
This is nonsense.
Originally, Chu and Yan people were not bordering each other, but after the Yan people annexed Jin, they could directly threaten Chu from north to south.
I think back then, the Sanjin Knights were extremely arrogant, but they were still beaten down by the Yan people.
The Shanggu County of the Chu State behind Zhennanguan can be said to be a flat river. Once the Yan people broke through Zhennanguan, their cavalry immediately swept out and dug a piece of the Chu State directly based on the terrain of Shanggu County. Come meat.
Nian Yao's eyes slowly opened again,
reached out his hand,
rubbed his eyebrows,
Said:
“It just depends on who bets faster and harder at the gambling table this time. But the problem is, I know that the emperor of Yan State is a man of his word in Yan State. , after the family members of the Yan Kingdom are gone, unless Li Liangting or Tian Wujing suddenly rebel, no one or force in the entire Yan Kingdom can challenge his authority..."< br>
Speaking of this,
Nian Yao’s eyes began to turn slightly red, and he looked a little ferocious:
“What I am most afraid of now is that the Yan people really dare to risk their lives. Everything has happened, or in other words, judging from the time when the military information was transmitted back, the Yan people may have been fighting abroad..."
Nian Yao paused,
gritting his teeth,
said word by word:
“And our king must first summon the great nobles in the country to discuss matters first. , discussing with those big nobles how each family should How many soldiers and grains will produce how many civilians!"
The power of the Chu court has indeed been strengthened during the process of the princes' rebellion and the regent's rise to power, because some nobles supported the princes in their fight for the throne. Got cleared.
But overall, the power of the Chu aristocracy is still strong and cannot be ignored.
If the Yan people start a real national war, relying on the power of the imperial court alone will not be enough.
"Brother Nian, these words are not for you and me to say." Deng Man said with concern.
Nian Yao smiled and said, "I know."
Then, Deng Man seemed to have discovered something. He looked outside the carriage and asked, "Brother Nian, what is this?" Not the way to the palace?”
"I want to go back first, change into court clothes, and then enter the palace to see the king."
"This..."
"It won't take a while. As I said, you have to take it easy." Come, don't care what happens to the Yan people, I We ourselves can't mess up."
"But the king didn't give any instructions when he sent me to find you, Brother Nian."
"Because the king knows how to do it. Do.”
The carriage
entered the General's Mansion.
When Nian Yao got off the carriage, he said to Deng Man: "You can go back to the palace first. I will enter the palace and go out from the back."
"Yes."
Deng Man had no choice but to leave from behind and return to the palace to recover.
Nian Yao came to the back house, where his wife Sun was playing with two dolls, a boy and a girl.
Seeing that Nian Yao was back, Mrs. Sun stood up and said, "Okay, how dare you take that bastard out to play without telling me."
That bastard is Mrs. Sun 's younger brother.
Nian Yao shook his head and said: "You can't keep people in the house all the time."
"He doesn't follow the rules. This is the capital of Ying. After knowing that you are the general, He has already started to bully men and women in his hometown, and even the county magistrate dared not take care of him. I just sent people to catch him in Yingdu. You are lucky enough to take him out to cause mischief. "
"Alas."
Nian Yao sighed,
First he kicked a bamboo ball that flew to the ground, and his son and daughter immediately ran to pick it up;
Nian Yao, on the other hand, took the opportunity to kiss Sun on the face.
Sun came to his senses and immediately pinched Nian Yao and cursed: "What kind of monster are you doing?"
"Hey, I just can't help seeing how beautiful my wife is."
Although they are an old couple, Mrs. Sun still blushed when she heard this,
said:
"What about that bastard? He didn't come back with you?"
"I came back first. I changed my clothes and went to the palace to see the master. He is still drinking on the Mijiang River."
"There are many noble people in Mijiang, how can you leave him alone there? If you don't do it, you will be offended..."
"My wife, for all the achievements your man has earned outside by working hard, someone must come here." Help us set the stage , otherwise I will always feel at a loss."
"What kind of truth are you saying?"
"This is the truth of my Nian family."
"What kind of truth are you saying? I’m spoiling him.”
"I'm not spoiling him, I'm spoiling myself. In this life, I'm used to being a slave. Even if I become a general, some habits can't be changed.
So, take a look He, I feel like I've seen another version of myself."
"You said these strange things again, what's wrong with being a slave? We were born as private slaves in the master's family, and others still envy him. I’m not coming.”
“Yes, yes, my wife, but your brother is my brother, can I not be nice to him? Okay, okay, hurry up and get my official uniform. We can’t let the master wait any longer.”
Under Sun’s service, Nian Yao put on his official uniform, mounted his horse, and recruited all the guards in the mansion. Head towards the palace gate.
Xiong Liqing once said that the palace of Yan State was shabby compared with the palace of Chu State.
This is indeed the case.
The walls and gates of the Chu Palace give people a feeling of extreme grace and magnificence.
At the entrance of the palace, General Nian, who had long been allowed to ride horses in the palace, took the initiative to dismount and walk in.
He had a premonition,
This time,
it’s a real storm.
So, for some reason, when I entered the palace this time, I suddenly felt a little sentimental.
He remembered,
just the year before last,
When he captured the second prince,
he asked his master:
Master, why don't we just follow the example of Yan State and get rid of this bunch of troublemakers in our country.
The master asked him: Why are you, my slave, so loud all of a sudden today?
Answer for yourself: This slave feels that the master should keep his word in this great Chu and become the true supreme leader of the great Chu!
Later,
because the Yan people suddenly defeated Jin, many of the regent's domestic plans had to come to nothing, and instead he asked Qu Tiannan to lead his troops northward.
Nian Yao walked to the front of the main hall,
looking at the golden bricks and green tiles above, his eyes narrowed.
Actually, he didn’t tell the truth to his master that day.
The reason why Nian Yao suddenly asked that sentence
is because,
in his opinion,
if all the Lao Shizi nobles in Da Chu were swept away Already,
Then Yao,
He is no longer a slave.

Recently I am participating in a writing training. I have to attend half-day classes every morning, which affects my updates. In addition, my schedule is too normal and I need to adapt.
Just one update today, a big chapter tomorrow.
There is also this big plot. I want to lay it out better and write it carefully, so the pace will inevitably be slower. Please forgive me. Slow work will bring out fine work. (End of chapter)
