"I'm afraid this isn't appropriate," Jin Wan'er said with a look of embarrassment on her face.
Shangguan Xiu smiled and said: "There is nothing inappropriate.
The Duke's Mansion is so big, so Mrs.
Jin can live here with peace of mind.
No one will disturb Mrs.
Jin here.
What's more, Mrs.
Jin is wanted by the Ningnan court.
The inn is relatively unsafe.
Now that Mrs.
Jin is an important official in Zhen County, I am responsible for Mrs.
Jin’s safety.”
Hearing what he said, Jin Waner couldn't refuse anymore.
She bowed to Shangguan Xiufu and said, "In that case, thank you sir."
"Mrs.
Jin's guest."
As he spoke, Shangguanxiu arranged for Wu Yufei to clear out a courtyard in the Commandery Mansion for Jin Wan'er to live.
After Wu Yufei left with Jin Wan'er, Shangguan Xiuzhuan's eyes fell on Shangguan Qingyan, and he said helplessly: "How many times have I told you, you have to knock on the door before entering the room."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Jin Wan'er waved her hand impatiently and interrupted: "Nagging one thing over and over again is exactly the same as my father."
Shangguanxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and rolled his eyes.
He sat back on the chair, picked up the teacup, and had just taken half a sip when Shangguan Qingyan stepped forward, grabbed the teacup in his hand, and drank the tea with a bang.
Shangguanxiu looked at her helplessly and asked, "Why are you here?"
Uploaded "I came at a bad time, didn't I disturb your good things?"
Shangguan Qingyan asked with a smile.
Shangguan Xiu was happy and said: "Mrs.
Jin is the most critical link in making fire guns."
"But she is from Ningnan."
"But the Ningnan court has a grudge against her for killing her husband."
"How do you know whether it is true or false?"
"I sent people to investigate."
"If someone deliberately falsified it, your people would not be able to find anything in Ningnan."
This was Shangguan Xiu's fingers tapping on the table rhythmically, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
Shangguan Qingyan stepped forward, poured a cup of tea, put it into Shangguan Xiu's hand, and said, "I have a way to make her help you sincerely."
Shangguanxiu caught the teacup, burst out laughing, and asked, "Qingyan, what other ideas have you come up with in your little head?"
As he spoke, he took a slow sip of tea.
"Sleep with her."
Poof Shangguanxiu almost spat out the sip of tea he just took into his mouth.
He wondered if his ears had heard it wrong and looked at Shangguan Qingyan in disbelief.
Shangguan Qingyan rolled her eyes at his overreaction, and the old god said: "You are really stupid.
Sleep with her and turn her into your woman.
From now on, she will no longer be someone you can trust."
If she is really that important."
Shangguan Xiu put down the tea cup, feeling angry and funny at the same time.
He looked at her helplessly and asked: "Who taught you these things?"

"I figured it out myself.
It may sound a little ridiculous, but if you think about it carefully, do I really make sense?"
"Even if it makes sense, I'm not so lowly that I want to sell myself."
Shangguanxiu picked up the tea cup again and shook his head.
After a while, he asked: "What's the matter with you running here in such a hurry?"
"I want to take you to Tia."
Shangguan Qingyan walked around behind Shangguan Xiu, put her arm on his shoulders, and said: "What kind of gunpowder and blunderbuss can be made in Tia a long time ago?
There’s no need to ask Ningnan people for help.”
Tia and Ning Nan have always had a good relationship, with frequent secret contacts.
Shangguan Qingyan doesn't have a bad impression of Ning Nan, otherwise, she wouldn't have studied under Ning Nan's martial arts sect.
However, out of love for the house and the bird, Shangguan Xiu suffered a big loss in Ningnan and almost died.
Now Shangguan Qingyan also stands on Shangguan Xiu's position and resents Ningnan.
Shangguanxiu thought about it carefully and nodded slowly.
He had always heard that Tia had many advanced technologies, but he had never had the opportunity to go to Tia in person.
Now he knew that there were relatives from the Shangguan family living in Tia.
Ya, he had no reason not to visit and take this opportunity to arouse Tia's advanced technology.
Seeing him nodding, Shangguan Qingyan asked in surprise and joy: "Axiu, have you agreed to go to Tia with me?"
Shangguan Xiu said: "Qingyan, I want to go to Tia, but now is not the time."
"Why?"
"I have more important things to do."
"Is there anything else that is more important than following you back to Tia?"
"Now Ningnan's army is still occupying Ningjun, and the court is helpless.
In the near future, I plan to lead the army north to attack the Ningnan army that invaded Ningjun."
"There's going to be another war" "If the country is destroyed, the family will perish.
Without a country, where will the family be?
This war is not to be fought, but must be fought.
As long as I have a breath left, as long as the Ningnan Army still invades an inch of Feng Country's land, I will fight We will fight to the death with the people of Ningnan."
Shangguan Xiu said firmly and with a decisive attitude.
Shangguan Qingyan couldn't understand Shangguan Xiu's words.
For hundreds of years, Tia had been under the rule of the Feng Kingdom.
In her mind, it was commonplace for her country to be ruled by foreign countries, and it was not so unacceptable.
She lay on Shangguan Xiu's shoulder, pouted, gently scratched his cheek with her fingers, and said: "Although I don't understand what you are thinking, Axiu, no matter what you do, Whatever you decide, I will support you.”
Shangguan Xiu turned back, looked at Shangguan Qingyan's little face, and caressed her red cheeks lovingly.
At this time, a soldier came in from outside, stepped in and saluted, and said, "Sir, General Luo, General Zhan is waiting to see you."
"Yes."
Shangguanxiu nodded and said, "Let them come in."
"It's my lord," the soldier agreed, turned around and walked out.
Not long after, four regiment commanders, Luo Ren, Zhan Xiong, Hu Chong, An Yifu, and two counselors, Dongzhe Kongdi, walked in quickly from outside.
Everyone glanced at Shangguan Xiu and Shangguan Qingyan, bowed their hands together, and said, "Brother Xiu."
Shangguanxiu waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite, and asked: "Brothers, come here, but I have something to do."
The six of them looked at each other, and Luo Ren spoke first: "Brother Xiu, I think we should postpone sending troops to the north."
Shangguan Xiu lowered his eyes, played with a strand of silver hair with his fingers, and asked slowly: "Hold on, Ah Ren, how long do you think we should wait?"
An Yifu then said: "Sir, our army is currently resting and recuperating, and it is not suitable to send troops to fight immediately.
We have four legions of Zhenjun Army, and each legion's establishment is barely more than half.
How can such an army go into battle?

Woolen cloth" Shangguan Xiu said seriously: "Our army suffered heavy casualties, so the casualties of the Ningnan Army were not heavy?
Are the Ningnan Army's legions all full strength?
Why can the Ningnan Army still fight when the strength is not satisfied, but we can't?"
An Yifu shook his head and said: "Sir, it's not that you can't do it, but if you fight reluctantly, our army will suffer a lot of unnecessary casualties."
Shangguan Xiu frowned and said: "The enemy has invaded the country.
What are we talking about whether it is necessary or unnecessary?
What about large and small casualties?
If the Ningnan Army attacks Zhenjun now, you will also give me suggestions and worry about too many casualties. , won’t you resist Ningnan’s army?”
An Yifu said: "Guan Jian's problem is that the Ningnan Army is now invading Ning County, not our Zhen County."
"Then what's the difference?
Don't forget, Zhenjun is the territory of Dafeng, and Ningjun is also the territory of Dafeng."
Shangguan Xiu stood up, looked around at everyone present, and said, "You guys have not been in Zhenjun for too long, and you are worried."
You might as well have the idea of establishing yourself as a king in Zhen County."
An Yifu lowered his head and did not dare to say more about the matter.
Luo Ren cleared his throat and said seriously: "Brother Xiu, our Zhenjun Army went on an expedition for the country and helped the Central Army fight deep into Ningnan.
With so many casualties, our Zhenjun Army has received a commendation from the court. , the court may reward I have a grain of rice and a tael of silver in my Zhenjun County.
The Ningnan Army came to attack our Zhenjun County in a big way.
Did the imperial court send a single soldier to come to the rescue?
The current approach is to completely abandon Zhenjun County and let Zhenjun County fend for itself.
This way What else can the imperial court do to protect it?”
Before Luo Ren finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu suddenly slapped the table.
There was a crisp sound, like thunder, and the coffee table next to him shattered with the sound.
Shangguan Qingyan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but scream.
An Yifu, Hu Qiang, Dong Zhe, Kong Di, etc. were so frightened that they all trembled and knelt down.
Although Zhan Xiong did not kneel down, he still stood aside, bowing his body and looking ugly.
Luo Ren's body was trembling, but he still insisted on finishing what he wanted to say.
He said: "Based on what the court has done alone, it is not an exaggeration to think that Brother Xiu can establish himself as king in Zhen County."
Shangguan Xiu raised his hand and nodded at Luo Ren without saying a word.
If someone else said this, he would severely punish them even if he didn't kill them.
He turned to look at Zhan Xiong and said in a deep voice: "Big Xiong, what's your opinion?"
"Brother Xiu, I thought it was treacherous to establish oneself as king, and it is indeed inappropriate to send troops to aid Ning County now."
Shangguan Xiu looked at An Yifu and Hu Chong again and asked: "Yifu Lao Hu, what do you two mean?"
"I think what General Luo and General Zhan said is true."
An Yifu and Hu Chong replied at the same time, but the objects they supported were completely opposite.
Luo Ren joined the rebel party organization when he was a student and was considered an activist against the imperial court.
An Yifu was deeply harmed by the imperial court and later became a rebel.
Both of them were dissatisfied with the Feng Kingdom imperial court from the bottom of their hearts. .
This was not the case with Zhan Xiong and Hu Chong.
Both of them had held important positions in the imperial court.
The former came from the Duwei Mansion and the latter came from the Central Army.
They respected the imperial court in their bones.
This is the most interesting thing about the Zhenjun Army.
Among the four legions of the Zhenjun Army, two of the legion commanders are against the imperial court, and the other two legion commanders support the imperial court.
This also determines that the Zhenjun Army has always been on the issue of whether to rebel against the imperial court or not.
Wobbly.

But regardless of Luo Ren and An Yifu's opposition to the imperial court, or Zhan Xiong and Hu Chong's support of the imperial court, they now have one point in common, that is, they are unwilling to send troops to support Ningjun.
It is precisely because of the existence of Ningnan, a huge foreign enemy, that the contradictions between the two factions within the Zhenjun Army have not really surfaced.
Everyone is still working together to achieve this common goal of survival.
Struggling hard
