Chapter 156 The Second Chihiro
In the Prince's Mansion, there was a row of carriages parked in the backyard. There were more than ten carriages. The servants were loading the carriages in the Prince's Mansion in an orderly manner. The whole city of Hangzhou knew that Prince Xia was going back to the capital.
As for why he went back, it was of course because of the border war, but Prince Consort Bi had never thought about going back. He had no intention of going back to the temple, not to mention that the little princess was still living with him.
After Jiang Ning came back, Wang Ruoyan hadn't come back yet. She learned from Yue Ya that Xia Kang had been sending people to invite Jiang Ning every day for three consecutive days. Only then did she know that Xia Kang was leaving Hangzhou. Jiang Ning didn't have time to change, so he headed towards the Prince's Mansion.
, Yueya happily went to the store to inform Wang Ruoyan.
"Not to mention how the war will be in the future, the main battle leader in the court has not yet been decided. I have not made any plans when I go back this time." Xia Kang looked at the busy scene in the courtyard, turned back to the study, and said to Bi Cheng'an
.
Bi Cheng'an sighed: "In my opinion, Li Linfu is most likely to advocate peace, but he has a fierce general named Tong Guan. In the early years, he was an eunuch around the official family, but he is superb in martial arts, bold and careful, and profound.
The officials liked him, so he was granted an official position and worked under Li Linfu. Rumor has it that this person had many disputes with Li Linfu, all because of the border war."
Xia Kang smiled slightly: "There is another person named Gao Qiu, but he is from Zhuhe. I remember ten years ago, the Blackwater Alliance. This Gao Qiu was trapped in the Yuan Dynasty for more than a year. He should have escaped by himself.
, was still a subordinate of my mission at that time, but now he has become the governor of Jingzhao, holding a heavy army. If it were not for Princess Changping's incident, the powerful army may not be able to escape from his hands. "
"Haha, things are changing rapidly in the court. I really don't know why Brother Kang still wants to take a trip into this muddy water."
"The temple is high and I worry about its people, and the rivers and lakes are far away and I worry about its army. I was defeated ten years ago. I feel guilty for those 100,000 soldiers. Over the years, I have been unable to let go. Maybe this time, I can comfort their souls in heaven." Xia Kang sighed.
The tone said.
"That's all, you have accepted the imperial edict. It seems that the officials have made up their minds this time. I think the person above also knows that this is not the same His Majesty as ten years ago."
"Yes, if it were ten years ago, how could Princess Changping dare to use the Donglin Club like this?"
"Mr. Xia, I'm late..." Jiang Ning walked to the study door and saluted the two of them.
"Oh? Brother Zichuan, are you back? How are things going? Is it going well?" Upon hearing this, Xia Kang's frown suddenly relaxed and he turned around and asked.
Jiang Ning smiled and said: "Thanks to the two old brothers, everything went well. I just got home and found out that I was leaving? But what's the important thing?"
Xia Kangdao: "Three days ago, the government issued an imperial edict, calling me back to discuss the border war. Although our army has achieved a small victory at the three borders, the situation is still not optimistic. The Blackwater Alliance has been in existence for ten years, and there must be two other
I’m already ready to make a move.”
"It turns out that Xia Lao is about to resurrect, and Jiang Ning is here to congratulate him in advance." Jiang Ning cupped his hands and congratulated: "Xia Lao has come back, and our government will definitely be able to drive out the Tartars and conquer the mountains and rivers. The Hexi Corridor is thousands of miles fertile. It's time to come back.
.”
Xia Kang chuckled and said: "If everyone in our Great Xia Dynasty has such confidence as Zichuan, why worry about it? Hahaha..."
Bi Cheng'an also said: "We will talk about the future matters later. You go back this time. I don't know when we will see you again. Brother Zichuan is also back today. It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. I won't come back unless I'm drunk today."
"Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk..."
Jiang Ning had just come back and was about to take a good rest, but because Xia Kang was leaving, he had to stay. He sent someone back to inform Yue Ya and Wang Ruoyan that they would not go back until they had eaten. After all, Prince Xia was a prince, and this time he was returning.
Come on, I think Wang Ruoyan won't say much.
As the sun set, the progress of packing gradually slowed down. We set off the day after tomorrow. There was still one day left to pack tomorrow, so we immediately prepared a table of food and wine, and exchanged glasses.
After three rounds of drinking, under the light, both Xia Kang and Bi Chengan's faces turned red, having drunk a lot.
"Zichuan, if you can follow me this time, you will definitely be able to achieve great success in the capital, why bother living here?" Xia Kang finally said these words.
Bi Chengan smiled. Xia Kang wanted to say this as soon as Jiang Ning entered the door. He had been holding it back until now, which was really difficult for him.
Jiang Ning shook his head and said: "This is not my ambition. If you need to make suggestions, Mr. Xia can only speak. As for the intrigues in the court, Zichuan still wants to live for a few more years, haha..."
Bi Chengan smiled and said: "That's true. I won't go for the same reason. When you get old, you have to admit it. What's wrong with eating, drinking, and traveling around? If you have to wade through muddy water, you might fall into the pond.
Here, I don’t even know when I drowned.”
Xia Kang snorted coldly, rolled his eyes at Bi Cheng'an and said, "You are an old money geek. Even the Ministry of Revenue has asked you to borrow money. Naturally, you don't have to worry about anything. As long as Da Xia Dynasty is here, you will be there, haha."
Bi Chengan said: "You say this as if I am not a citizen of the Great Xia Dynasty. I should be punished..."
"Ha ha……"
Xia Kang punished himself with a glass of wine. He just put down the glass and continued: "I prepared some things in the early years, but I couldn't find a suitable candidate. If you Zichuan shirks it again this time, I'm afraid all my hard work over the years will be in vain."
.”
The atmosphere suddenly became serious. Bi Chengan also put down his wine glass and smiled: "You mean the Second Thousand Thousand Hiros?"
"Yes, come in. This is your new boss. You will be at his disposal in the future. He will be the next Jing'an Secretary, Jiang Ning." Xia Kang said, stood up and took out a brocade box from the study.
, opened it, took out a black iron waist plate, with the word "Jing'an Si" engraved on the front and the word "Si Li" written on the back, and handed it to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning didn't want to take it, but Bi Chengan nodded: "This Jing'an Division is an underground organization, affiliated to Dali Temple. It mainly deals with intelligence. The Jing'an Division is the fourth-rank official of Li Zheng. You kid, a fourth-rank official fell from the sky.
Hat, you didn’t even accept it, do you know that this is something that so many people are trying to squeeze their brains out to get?”
"Is it similar to the East Factory and the West Factory?" Jiang Ning hesitated and asked.
Xia Kang frowned and said: "What is the East Factory and the West Factory? This is not a factory, it is the Jing'an Department, an organization that does not exist in principle. There is only one master of ceremonies, and the others do not exist. There is no need to show up, and there is no need to talk to the court."
It has nothing to do with it, but it is extremely important to me, the officials, the court, and even the entire Great Xia Dynasty. As you said, a piece of information may be able to save tens of millions of people, change a war, and change everything.
situation, changing the lives of millions of people.”
Jiang Ning understood and said that it was Dongchang and Xichang, which was an espionage organization established in the Yuan Dynasty, similar to Jin Yiwei, lurking in the dark.
"Second Qianxun of Jing'an Division has met Mr. Si Li..." A woman's voice appeared at the door, and the door opened in response, and a woman wearing night clothes walked in.
Jiang Ning turned his head and was surprised to see that this woman was also a beautiful woman with delicate features and handsome features.
"Haha, do you think that all people in this field should be men?" Xia Kang sat down slowly and showed a satisfied smile.
