The devil is coming

Chapter 499 Minions
Nian Yao drank wine.
The self-proclaimed person has also changed from "slave" to "me".
The change in temperament is especially obvious;
The fearful servant from before disappeared, replaced by the great general of Da Chu.
The Eighth Prince felt a little breathless 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 20-strong imperial army of Chu. Even though he is now idle in Yingdu, his qualifications 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 silently retreated to the corner without saying a word.
Others can look down on Nian Yao's background;
Even if Jing Renli doesn't take him seriously, his surname is Jing after all, so he can naturally show off in front of Nian Yao. However, Jing Renli was pushed by Nian Yao in the first place, so that he could have the opportunity to enter this place as a descendant of Jing's Pang family. circle.
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 career, 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 as a domestic slave, which shows his ability.
Nian Yao pointed to the boatman on the boat and said, "The boat is docked."
When the boatmen were pointed at this, they immediately felt a piercing chill from their foreheads to their tail bones, and they 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.
Zhaocha looked at the retreating figures of Nian Yao and the Phoenix Nest guard.
Disdain:
"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.
Zhaocha smiled and said: "Thank you so much..."
"Snapped!"
The Eighth Prince picked up the wine glass in front of Zhaocha and poured the wine directly into Zhaocha's face.
On the side, Si Kang looked shocked when he saw this scene.
Jing Renli put his hands under his body and his face was calm.
Zhaocha blinked and did not wipe the wine from his face, letting it drip.
The eighth prince silently poured Zhaocha another glass.
this time,
No splashing,
Instead, he said:
"In any army, when something goes wrong, the soldiers look at their commanders, and the commanders look at their commanders. They look all the way up and see their own generals, and then the generals and commanders of each group look at the commander together.
Therefore, anyone can cause chaos, but the general in the army cannot cause chaos. He is the needle that stabilizes the sea and must be stabilized.
What do we mean by the Zhuguo of Da Chu? The Zhuguo?It is also the pillar stone of the country.
Look, how many dignitaries and dignitaries are gathered here in Mijiang?How many people’s eyes are focused 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?
You said,
If they later see Nian Yao hurriedly getting ashore without waiting for the boat to dock, and then rushing to the palace in a hurry;
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 let him wipe it.
"I was born into the royal family, and you were born into the Zhao family. If Da Chu is still here, we can always be rich and happy;
We can have sex, we can have fun, we can just be a rice worm, that’s fine too;
But never be a fool. "
Zhaocha nodded again and said, "I understand, thank you for your advice, Your Highness."
"Then what should we do next?"
Zhaocha said, "Go back and tell your family about this?"
His Highness the Eighth Prince shook his head and sighed. Obviously, he was not satisfied with this answer.
immediately,
His Highness the Eighth Prince pointed at Jing Renli who was standing there.
Road:
"You said."
Jing Renli immediately pointed at the boatman and shouted:
"Send the boat back to the river."
The boatmen followed the instructions and sailed the boat back to the river, and it was close to the flower boat of Nian Yao's family again.
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 arms 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."
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,
His Highness the Eighth Prince stood up on his own initiative, 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. Hitting is hurting and scolding is love. It's just brother, you have to change your bad breath in the future. Don't scold so unpleasantly. ."
"Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness, I deserve everything..."
His Highness the Eighth Prince patted his shoulder affectionately,
He said to Zhao Cha who was sitting opposite:
"What are you doing standing around? Pour some wine for our new friends. From now on, we can all have fun together."
Zhaocha had the warm smile of Master Qianqian on his face, stood up, and poured the wine.
quickly,
There was laughter and laughter again on this flower boat,
His Highness the Eighth Prince also composed a poem and recited it loudly.
Gradually,
The noisy sounds from nearby flower boats and shelves on the shore gradually resumed.
……
And on the other side,
Nian Yao refused Deng Man's suggestion to ride a fast horse into the palace, and instead took his family's carriage.
in the carriage,
Nian Yao confided in the Fengchao inner guard beside the regent:
"Stool, don't panic. It's useless to panic. The more you panic at this time, the more you can't panic. The more you panic, the easier it is to do bad things. I know that your kid has a talent for practicing martial arts since he was a child, but today he can't do anything like floating on the water with his light kung fu. It’s not the right time.”
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 don't have enough experience in this matter. Come, tell me in detail, so as to save the king from wasting his breath."
"Now, we only know that the Emperor of Yan issued an edict to attack Chu. The rest is not clear yet. This news was brought back by the things in Yanjing City who worked hard to send it to Yingdu as soon as possible. In order to send it to Yingdu as soon as possible, we are here in Yanjing. The brothers on the line between the state and the state of Jin have suffered a lot."
The Secret Intelligence Department of the Yan State, the Silver Armored Guards of the Qian State, and the Fengchao of the Chu State, they were secret service offices internally, which facilitated the emperor's control over his country and the officials, but at the same time, they also shouldered the responsibility of The role of spying on external military intelligence.
To a certain extent, external infiltration and spying are their real duties.
At 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's Secret Intelligence Department very embarrassed. It's a pity that Ganren's army was too stretched. , wasting the sacrifices of many of his silver-armored guards.
Emperor 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 was going on in Dayan and Sanjin at this time, it was impossible to hide it.
This is, after all, 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 anyway,
news,
It was delivered back in time.
The "timely" here refers to the extreme that they can achieve.
But actually,
When Dayan has already begun to carry out general mobilization for war, the Chu State will inevitably be slow. However, fortunately, the Chu State is on the defensive side and has a relatively large room for maneuver.
Nian Yao frowned. As a general, he didn't like the feeling of his eyes going dark during a battle, but he also knew that he couldn't force too much on this matter. Fengchao had already done his best in this matter. At full strength.
"The most important thing now is the scale of Yan's troop dispatch. 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 too late to increase the intelligence here at this time. We can only rely on the Phoenix Nest guards over there to continue to pass on a few messages.
"Brother Nian, what do you think this time..."
Nian Yao shook his head and said, "You know that 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."
"Brother Nian, I know this. Zheng Fan's resume has been recorded in my mind."
"No, what I mean is that Zheng Fan back then was just like Tian Wujing now. Back then, Zheng Fan had few soldiers and horses, so every time he went south, although he could steal military exploits and make others disgraced, it was boring. But the three sides of Ganren are still three sides.
The same goes for Tian Wu Jing. The last time I played against Tian Wu Jing, it was because I was sure that Tian Wu Jing would not really come to attack the city at this moment. Therefore, I could be relatively calm. I knew that as long as I held steady Angry, even if Tian Wujing is the God of War, he can't come to Zhennan Pass alone to assassinate me, right? "
"Brother Nian, what do you mean by this..."
Nian Yao pursed his lips.
Road:
"But when the Yan army went south, the three sides of Ganren that Zheng Fan could not chew down for three to five years were torn out in an instant. The Yan cavalry even hit them. Ganren went to the capital.
Similarly,
Last time, Tian Wujing was just playing for fun. We both knew that there would be no mountains of corpses and seas of blood under Zhennan Pass;
But this time,
The emperor of Yan who issued the edict,
It's completely different.
One is that the frontier generals are itching to use troops, and a country is using its troops with all its strength. The gap between the two is comparable to the chasm! "
Speaking of which,
Nian Yao closed his eyes silently,
continued:
"Zhennanguan, there is absolutely no room for failure."
This is nonsense.
Originally, the Chu people and the Yan people were not bordering each other, but after the Yan people annexed the Jin land, they could directly threaten the Chu state 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 Chu State behind Zhennanguan Pass can be said to be a smooth river. Once the Yan people broke through Zhennanguan Pass, their cavalry immediately swept out quickly, relying on the terrain of Shanggu County to directly dig out a piece of meat from Chu State.
Nian Yao's eyes slowly opened again,
reach out,
He rubbed his brows,
Road:
"It just depends on who bets faster and more ruthlessly at this gambling table. But the problem is, I know that the emperor of Yan State is a man of his word in Yan State. The family of Yan State has no successor. , Unless Li Liangting or Tian Wujing suddenly rebel, no one or force in the entire Yan Kingdom can challenge his authority..."
Speaking of which,
Nian Yao's eyes began to turn slightly red, looking a little ferocious:
"What I'm most afraid of now is that the Yan people really dare to risk everything. In other words, judging from the time when the military information is transmitted back, the Yan people may already be risking their lives..."
Nian Yao paused.
Gritting his teeth,
Word by word:
"And our king must first summon the big nobles in the country to discuss things first, and discuss with those big nobles how many soldiers, how much food, and how many civilians each family will send!"
The power of the Chu State's court was indeed strengthened during the process of the princes' rebellion and the regent's ascension to the throne, because some nobles who supported the princes' struggle for the throne were liquidated.
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 said with concern in his eyes.
Nian Yao smiled and said, "I know."
Immediately afterwards, Deng Man seemed to have discovered something. He looked outside the carriage and asked, "Brother Nian, isn't this 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 much time. As I said before, we have to take our time. No matter what happens to the Yan people, we ourselves can't mess up our position."
"But these were not given by the king when he sent me to find you, Brother Nian."
"Because the King knows I know how to do it."
carriage,
Driving into the General's Mansion.
When Nian Yao got off the carriage, he said to Deng Man: "You go back to the palace first. I will enter the palace later and exit 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, Sun stood up and said, "Okay, how dare you take that bastard out to play without telling me."
That bastard is Sun’s younger brother.
Nian Yao shook his head and said, "You can't keep it in the house forever."
"He doesn't abide by the rules. This is Yingdu. After knowing that you are the general, he has already started bullying men and women in his hometown. Even the county magistrate did not dare to control him. So I sent people to catch him in Yingdu. Come on, you're lucky enough to actually take him out to do some mischief."
"Ugh."
Nian Yao sighed,
First, he kicked a bamboo ball off 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.
Mrs. Sun came to her senses and immediately pinched Nian Yao and cursed: "What kind of monster are you doing?"
"Hey, I just see my wife's beauty and I can't help it."
Although they were an old couple, Mrs. Sun still blushed when she heard this.
Road:
"What about that bastard? He didn't come back with you?"
"I'm back first. I'll change my clothes and go into the palace to see my master. He's still drinking on Mijiang River."
"There are many noble people on Mijiang River. How can you leave him alone? If you don't do it, you will offend..."
"My wife, for all the achievements your man has earned outside by working hard, someone must help us show off. Otherwise, I will always feel that I am at a loss."
"What kind of reasoning do you have?"
"This is the principle of my Nian family."
"You are 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, when I look at him, I feel like I'm seeing another version of myself. "
"You are saying these strange things again. What's wrong with being a slave? We are a private slave of the master's family, and others can't envy us."
"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, you can't let the master wait any longer."
Under Sun's service, Nian Yao put on his official uniform, mounted his horse, summoned all the personal guards on the left and right of the mansion, and headed towards the palace gate in an open manner.
Xiong Liqing once said that compared with the palace of Chu, the palace of Yan State was shabby.
This is indeed the case,
The walls and gates of the Imperial Palace of Chu State give people a feeling of great grace and grandeur.
At the entrance of the palace, General Nian, who had long been granted the privilege of riding a horse in the palace, took the initiative to dismount and walk in.
He had a hunch,
This time,
It is a real storm that is about to come.
Therefore, 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,
I asked my 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 be the true supreme leader of 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 hall,
Looking at the golden bricks and blue tiles above, his eyes narrowed.
In fact, he didn't tell the truth to his master that day.
The reason why Nian Yao suddenly asked that question was because
Because of,
In his opinion,
If all the Lao Shizi nobles in Da Chu were wiped out,
Then he was young,
He is no longer a slave.
