Chapter Five Hundred and One: The Potential
Chapter 501: The momentum is unstoppable
Chen Ao smiled indifferently, glanced at Wang Wenbing, and said seriously: "I have received the kindness of the holy family. As your Majesty's minister and good friend, I will never abide by this order even if I try to confiscate the family and destroy the clan. Zhou Yuhou, you should be a witness today. What will happen in the future? I will bear it all. As for Wang Wenbing... the person comes!"
Chen Ao shouted loudly. Just as Hou Yu of Zhou was about to agree, the captains over there had already said in unison: "Here."
"Take it!"
Dozens of people rushed over like wolves and tigers, holding Wang Wendang tightly, and then someone found a rope and tied him into a rice dumpling.
Wang Wenbing was both painful and unwilling to accept it. He shouted shrillly: "Chen Ao, even if I turn into a ghost in the future, I will never let you go. Wait and see, haha... Chen Ao, you thief..." He disheveled his hair, and didn't know where the strength came from, but he broke free from everyone and rushed towards Chen Ao in a mad manner.
If it were someone else, he would have been hit by him long ago. Unfortunately, Chen Ao was not good at fighting and killing people, but his reaction ability was extremely powerful. He raised his leg and kicked him again. This was considered cruel and kicked Wang Wenbing away half a foot away.
The lieutenants finally stopped him without saying a word; Chen Ao curled his lips over there and said carelessly: "You are human, I am not afraid, but you are afraid that you have become a ghost? You are ignorant of things!" After a pause, he did not forget to take care of him and said: "Remember, I will ask Lord Wang to treat his wounds, and it is so rotten."
After the lieutenants tied up Wang Wenbing away, Chen Ao greeted the Zhou Yuhou and said, "What's your name?"
Zhou Yuhou said: "I am not willing to go to Zhou and work in the Infantry Division."
Chen Aohe nodded: "Originally, the matter of escorting Wang Wenbing back to Beijing should be left to you. I will pass on my good news back. But you have worked hard and have not yet stopped. Let's stay in the camp and follow us to attack. Don't worry, this great contribution is bound to you. Return to Bianjing, I guarantee you a master of Yu."
Zhou Yuhou passed by Yan and said, "Thank you for your support."
Chen Ao ordered another squadron official to take his men to escort the prisoners and Wang Wenbing back to Bianjing, and bring the others back to the tent. Surong said: "Everyone, the elite of the bandit army has been wiped out, and the remaining scattered soldiers and brave men are no longer afraid of it. It is time to make achievements. Ten days, I will give you ten days, and in ten days, all the invading enemies will be wiped out!"
The officials of the camp and the squadron said one after another: "As for order!"
Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "Stay for a day and attack tomorrow, all of you will be dispersed."
The next day, the drums and trumpets sounded in the early morning, and the energetic battalions had gathered to set off. The first victory in the battle had made them full of confidence. After being tempered by blood and fire, the childishness on their faces unconsciously disappeared a little, and unconsciously became more calm and solemn.
The Ma Junsi was progressing very quickly. In less than a day, he arrived at Huazidu. There were more than a thousand thieves entrenched here. They had just received the news of Wang Meng's great defeat. In a panic, the Ma Junsi descended from the sky and immediately launched an attack and won a great victory.
Under Fengqiu City, thousands of days of Yi Cultivator was also in an instant. The news of Wang Meng's great defeat shocked them too much. They thought they had the blessing of Emperor Tian, not to mention invulnerability, at least the official army should have escaped when they saw the wind. However, this defeat completely dispelled their confidence. That day, the leader of Yi Cultivator was rushing to continue to attack the city or withdraw. The rear camp of the Majun Army arrived quietly. When these exhausted imperial guards saw the enemy, they were like flies and saw blood. They immediately cheered up. In a moment, they formed a charge formation, and even did not let go of the scouts of the temptation and rushed over.
The Fengqiu bandit army was in chaos and fled in all directions. The wing army in the city rushed out and chased for dozens of miles, with blood flowing into a river.
The Ma Army Command attacked everywhere, and the Tianyi Sect's formation was completely in chaos. The bad news was summarized into the central army. When Xu Shenfu heard Wang Meng's defeat, he knew that the situation was hopeless. He ordered the troops to withdraw their battalions overnight, trying to withdraw from Huazhou and resist stubbornly.

The eunuchs in the palace have been careful these days, even Yang Jian has some thoughts. The official family has become worse and worse. Yesterday, he smashed a Duan inkstone, and a little eunuch avoided it and his head is covered with blood. It is said that a concubine who was in bed last night, who didn't know what she shouldn't say, was thrown into the cold palace. She really had no place to say anything she had complained.
So today Yang Jian was on duty and did not dare to be negligent. He didn't dare to say a word, so he waited outside. If the official family didn't call in, he would never make any noise easily.
Cai Jing entered the palace early in the morning. After entering, he didn't come out for half a afternoon. Yang Jian was relieved, but he was in a daze and stood outside Wenjing Pavilion thinking about his thoughts.
"I don't know what happened to Chen Ao. The person recommended by the Grand Tutor is Wang Wenbing. Isn't Wang Wenbing the disciple of Cai Jing?" Yang Jian couldn't help but frown when he saw too many conspiracies and tricks. There must be a reputation behind this. He sighed and had to comfort himself in his heart, hoping that the boy could come back alive. As long as he could return to Bianjing, even if he was a huge crime, he could at least have a full life.
While Yang Jian was in a state of despair, Zhao Ji inside shouted: "Yang Jian, come in."
Without saying a word, Yang Jian immediately stepped in. He first secretly glanced at Cai Jing who could not move, and then said to Zhao Ji: "What are your instructions?"
Zhao Ji's face was very bad and said, "The tea is cold, please change Cai Aiqing."
Yang Jian did not dare to neglect, so he immediately took Cai Jing's tea and ran to the small teahouse in the ear chamber to change the hot water, and brought it back. At this time, Zhao Ji did not tell him to go out, and he could only stand here. Then he heard Cai Jing slowly say: "Your Majesty, things have come to this point. Although Your Majesty has great importance to Chen Ao, and to use it, you have to avoid the limelight. It would be better to demote him to the Maritime Bureau first and put it outside, and after a year or two, then call him back. He is still young, so it's good to sharpen his skills."
Zhao Ji frowned and said, "I'm afraid that all officials will object, so I will definitely punish him."
Cai Jing laughed and said, "Your Majesty is the emperor, and it is your Majesty's business. At worst, there will be an impeachment memorial, so I can stop you from the door. In fact, although Chen Ao is a little frivolous, he is one of the best talents. In the future, when I can no longer be loyal to Your Majesty, I will always leave you with available talents. Chen Ao, this Chen Ao is available."
Zhao Ji's brows couldn't help but stretch, and he laughed: "Cai Qing has unique eyes. I love to hear these words."
Cai Jing was not surprised by his favor and disgrace, and said with a frown: "Actually, this matter is not a completely bad thing for Chen Ao. He has done everything too well. Letting him suffer a little and knowing that it is a little good will also be beneficial to him. Besides, the responsibilities of the Maritime Bureau are also very hot, and it is not something that the emperor and his close ministers can't curry favor with. He is there to cultivate his body and cultivate his character. In the future, his Majesty must add a little burden to him."
Zhao Ji nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but sigh: "I know that Chen Ao has some rift with you, and I didn't expect Cai Qing to be so generous."
Cai Jing smiled and said, "There are rifts, but I dare not hide this from Your Majesty. But the old minister is first his Majesty's minister and then a secular person. The rifts with Chen Ao are private. Today's comments are public. How can the old minister not distinguish between public and private?"
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that's right. My beloved words are deeply loved by me. It's hard to appease the people of Bianjing City these days. I heard that your second son Cai Tao is still waiting for the crime at home? He was young and ignorant at that time, and he was greedy for the treasury. But after being punished for so many years, I must have known my mistake. Let him go. He used to be a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, but now the Minister of War Wang Wenbing is missing. Someone should come to act as a subordinate. Let Cai Tao come."
Cai Jing immediately thanked him, so naturally he couldn't help but burst into tears. Zhao Ji sighed and felt that he comforted his loyal ministers, and his mood improved a little.
However, Yang Jian, who was standing aside, became more and more confused. When Cai Jing's accent seemed to be thinking about Chen Ao everywhere and defending Chen Ao in every way. Could it be that the old fox changed his temperament? Then he thought about it, his face turned pale in an instant, and he had an unknown premonition. With Cai Jing's character, it was impossible for Chen Ao to excuse Chen Ao like this. If this person takes action, he will definitely put his political enemies to death before he will give up. Then there is only one most likely answer now, that is, Chen Ao will no longer be a threat to him.
For people like Cai Jing, Chen Ao does not pose a threat. The only way is to let Chen Ao die. Otherwise, if Chen Ao has a breath, he will be abolished for the common people. With his relationship with the official family, it will only be a matter of time before he can recover.
Could it be... Cai Jing has sent someone to kill Chen Ao in secret? Or... Yang Jian no longer dares to think about it anymore, he can vaguely guess a clue - Wang Wenbing.
In Cai Jing's eyes, since Chen Ao is bound to die, why not say a few good things for him? When the news of his death comes, maybe he will write a wonderful tribute to read it in front of Shen Ao's grave.
Yang Jian suddenly became a little unstable. He and Shen Ao echoed each other in the inner and outer courts. With Chen Ao, his status in the inner court can be stable. As soon as Chen Ao died, with Cai Jing's character, perhaps the next person to deal with is Yang Jian.
Yang Jian's head was buzzing. He could no longer hear what the officials and Cai Jing said next, and only vaguely heard some words about the suppression of the thieves. Cai Jing was as verbal, which made Zhao Ji feel excited and kept slapped the table and said, "Yes, little thief, not to be afraid."
It was at this moment that a little eunuch screamed outside like a depressed voice: "News, news... There is news, Your Majesty, great news!"
