Chapter 238 Closer Relationships
The next day, Feng Jiang and others were awarded the official post of Shence Army.

The general of the Shence Army finally fell on Dingguo Gong Chengtu.

Cheng Tu's title is hereditary, but he himself has always been in the army and is known for his prestige.

Now that I am nearly [-] years old, I have already spent my life at home.

Unexpectedly, he was pulled out this time.

Just as Feng Jiang guessed before.

Of course, Cheng Tu's prestige in the army is sufficient, and not many people would object to being the general of the Shence Army.

But he himself is too old to take care of the Shence Army anymore.

In the end, the power of the Shence Army fell into the hands of the left and right generals.

The general on the left, Han Lu, belonged to the Princess Palace, and the general on the right, Tang Yuansong, belonged to the Tian family.

The four lieutenants, He Shan, Ma Laidan, Xiang Chong and Liang Youzheng.

He Shan and Ma Laidan seemed to be neutral for the time being, and they didn't know who to favor.

Or maybe they have taken refuge in a certain force long ago, Feng Jiang is not sure yet.

Xiang Chong is a member of the Tian family.

Liang Youzheng is from the princess mansion.

Ma Laidan and Liang Youzheng, two direct lieutenants under the left general Han Lu's command.

Feng Jiang is one of Liang Youzheng's two direct generals, and the other general is also a member of the Princess Palace.

After the official position is determined, the general of the Shence Army enters the palace to face the saint.

Feng Jiang was fortunate to be one of them.

The current emperor is the third son of Empress Dowager Tian, ​​who is Chu Xian, the third elder brother of Prime Minister Chu Dan.

Feng Jiang looked at Chu Xian secretly, and found that his figure was quite different from Chu Dan's.

Chu Dan was fat, while Chu Xian looked a little thin.

However, in terms of appearance, there are still some similarities.

After all, it was born by a mother.

"Still a puppet."

Feng Jiang could tell that this Chu Xian had no energy, and obviously didn't care much about court affairs.

On Shence Army's side, he just took a look, said "I see", and left.

Feng Jiang shook his head secretly. The Shence Army is a forbidden army. It stands to reason that this power should be in the hands of the emperor.

It's a pity that the current power lies with Queen Mother Tian.

Chu Xian's role as emperor was not going his way, and he was even trembling.

Maybe Chu Dan's life now is a bit more practical.

The Shence Army is temporarily stationed outside the city. After all, it is newly formed. It is not only for training, but also for observing the loyalty of the entire army.

As for who this loyalty is to, everyone will not expose it.

The Princess Palace and the Tian family basically control the Shence Army, and the power not given to them still comes from the Queen Mother Tian.

This may be the way of checks and balances in the officialdom.

One family cannot be the dominant family, only when the two powers are similar, and they are incompatible, Queen Mother Tian can control the overall situation from behind.

Regarding the training of the Shence Army, the guerrilla generals below are mainly responsible.

Feng Jiang, a general, doesn't have to do it himself, and doesn't have to go to the barracks every day.

However, Wu Qingkong's suggestion to Feng Jiang was that he should go there every day, not to mention staying there all day, at least show his face in front of the soldiers every day.

General Feng Jiang naturally has two guerrillas directly under him, both of whom are from the Princess's Mansion, and then there are thousands of households below him.

Some of these people are not from the eldest princess's mansion, some are neutral, and some are even from Tian's side.

This phenomenon also happened on Tian's side.

The main reason is that there are a large number of people like Baihu, and the personnel are inevitably a bit messy.

Besides, the two sides also intend to place their own troops in the other side's camp.

Wu Qingkong has already moved in. Originally, there was a house prepared for Feng Jiang at the princess's mansion, but Feng Jiang declined.

He lived in Wei's Commercial Firm, but he was actually telling others about his relationship with Wei's Commercial Firm.

Wei Yixue is currently busy expanding the influence of Wei's Commercial Bank. If she wants to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang, she will help out.

As long as he is a general of the Shence Army, as long as he lives in Wei's Commercial Bank, the status of Wei's Commercial Bank in Luoyang can be significantly improved.

As for the eldest princess's mansion, they converted the house into silver and gave it to Feng Jiang.

Feng Jiang didn't refuse this, would he be a fool if he didn't take the money?

Besides, Feng Jiang feels that he is temporarily working for the princess's mansion, so shouldn't he get paid?
He is a masculine man, so he can't ask Wei Yixue for money, can he?
Although Wei Yixue would not refuse, she still had to save some money.

Future expenses will not be less.

For example, Wu Qingkong has to pay his salary by himself.

Next, like the guerrilla generals directly under him, Gao Ling and Zhang Shusen, and other thousands of households, if he wants to hold them in his hands, then financial rewards are also indispensable.

Of course, this is not to say that they should go out of the princess's mansion, it is purely for the sake of commanding them when something happens.

You have to have the power of a superior, but you also have to give some temptations and sweets. This is the combination of grace and power.

It is far from enough to rely on the salary of one's own general for these expenses.

Feng Jiang accepted Wu Qingkong's suggestion.

After the appointment, Feng Jiang did not go to the barracks immediately, because the soldiers there were not yet fully in place.

The soldiers of the Shence Army are mainly selected from the border armies, and it may take half a month to be fully in place.

Feng Jiang didn't care much about this. During this period, he was also asking Wu Qingkong for advice about serving in the army while practicing.

Although Wu Qingkong was on the sidelines to help as a staff officer, he had to try to learn a little, otherwise he would not be able to justify his ignorance of military affairs as a general.

In addition, Feng Jiang's visits to the Princess' Mansion became more frequent.

He didn't hide it now, he just went there openly.

However, he didn't go to see the eldest princess mansion to meet Chu Lingyue, Chu Lingyue was so easy to see.

Without her summoning, it is basically impossible for him to meet.

Usually it is the chief butler and the lower butlers, especially the butler Liu.

The butler is busy with affairs and has a high status, so it is difficult for Feng Jiang to see him.

Steward Liu and Feng Jiang are somewhat related.

This time Steward Liu received a great reward for Feng Jiang becoming a general, so he has a good impression of Feng Jiang.

Feng Jiang came to the princess mansion basically looking for him.

Chatting and connecting feelings is superficial.

Feng Jiang was secretly observing the master guards of the princess mansion, especially those who were hiding in the dark.

Now that Shen Youdie has promised to help find Pan Mingsheng, the traitor of the Evil Sword Sect, he will naturally not break his promise.

Hope to find some clues.

"Butler Liu, this time I'm the host, you have to save face." Feng Jiang said.

"Okay, Master Feng's wine must be drunk." Butler Liu laughed.

Feng Jiang invites Liu Jin, also known as Butler Liu, to a restaurant in Luoyang.

"Master Feng, what's your impression of Master Liang?" After drinking for three rounds, Liu Jin couldn't help asking.

"Liang Youzheng, Lord Liang?"

"Which Master Liang could it be?" Liu Jin said with a smile.

"Master Liang is unsmiling, he is a serious person, it seems that he is not easy to get along with." Feng Jiang thought for a while and said.

Liang Youzheng, Feng Jiang's immediate boss.

At that time, after the appointment of officials was over, General Zuo Han Lu gathered all the troops of his Left Army, and everyone got to know each other for a while.

Liang Youzheng kept his face sullen the whole time, serious and hard to approach.

Later, Feng Jiang also found out that Liang Youzheng, who looked less than forty, was a master in the army.

In fact, these four lieutenants are all from the army. In terms of martial arts, Liang Youzheng is not the strongest of the four, but probably the third.

His weapon is a sword, and it is said that he is a human realm master with very powerful swordsmanship.

Speaking of which, the four major lieutenants are actually human beings. If we really want to talk about the strength of martial arts, one or two of the participating generals are stronger than them.

The main reason is that four of the participating generals competed out of the people in the Jianghu. Of course, Feng Jiang is not counted here. Among the other three, all of them are masters in the human realm.

And the four major lieutenants came from the army, and their strength is still weaker than the masters in the rivers and lakes.

"That's right, it's not easy to get along with. Everyone looks like that, as if everyone owes him millions of taels." Liu Jin sighed, "It's been so many years, but nothing has changed."

"Huh?" Feng Jiang's heart moved, "Butler Liu, are you familiar with Mr. Liang?"

"It's not very close, we have worked together for a while." Liu Jin shook his head and said, "It was about seven or eight years ago. He was still in the Princess's Mansion at the time, and then suddenly disappeared. I thought he was on a mission. There was an accident at that time, and I didn't expect that when we met again this time, it turned out to be the lieutenant general."

Feng Jiang understood that Liang Youzheng should have joined the army under the order of Chu Lingyue, and he had been in the army all these years, so Liu Jin didn't know.

Although he is a housekeeper and is responsible for a lot of things in the princess's house, but most of the things they come into contact with are ordinary things.

There are other secret tasks in the mansion that are in charge of the corresponding people.

"However, there is something I want to tell you, you should pay attention." Liu Jin said again.

"I also ask Butler Liu to give me some pointers."

"Master Liang hates evil people." Liu Jin whispered, "I heard that his wife died at the hands of an evil master, and he has yet to find the murderer to take revenge."

Feng Jiang's face changed slightly: "Then I~~"

"You don't need to be too nervous. Now that you are from the princess's house, no matter how much he hates the evil people, he can't do anything to you. Besides, there are many evil people in our house. Does he want to shout?" Kill?" Liu Jin laughed.

"That's true, then I can rest assured." Feng Jiang said with a sigh of relief.

"The main thing is that you work under him. He will definitely not be confused about major matters, and he will not do anything to you, but when it comes to some small matters, he may deliberately trouble you and torment you." Liu Jin said, "So, You have to be mentally prepared and be patient, but it is not good to conflict with him. He cannot be said to be an old man in the house, but at least he has stayed in the house longer than you, and he has been ordered to enter the army for so many years, and now he is a lieutenant again. Obviously respected."

"Thank you, Steward Liu, for your guidance. Otherwise, if I don't know these things, I'm afraid this life will be difficult." Feng Jiang said gratefully.

"You and I hit it off, otherwise I wouldn't say more about these things."

"That's it, that's it." Feng Jiang poured wine for Liu Jin affectionately as he said that.

After a drink, the names of the two changed. Feng Jiang called Brother Liu, and Liu Jin called Brother Feng. Although the two were quite different in age, it seemed right to call them that way.

Liu Jin valued Feng Jiang because Feng Jiang was young, and he had such skill at a young age. Not to mention whether he had a master or not behind him, it was worth making friends just because of his personal talent.

Of course, there is also the relationship between Princess Lingzhi, how could he not know the relationship between Princess Lingzhi and His Highness.

Feng Jiang made friends with Liu Jin, of course he wanted to get some secrets about the Princess's Mansion from him. I dare not say how big a secret it is, at least he knows much more than himself.

Through Liu Jin, I believe that I will save a lot of effort in finding Pan Mingsheng.

The two have their own thoughts and plans, but the relationship between the two has at least drawn a lot closer.
