Chapter 249: Shu Hui's Long-cherished Wish
There is a famous scenic spot on the junction between Fengxian County and Dengxian County. According to legend, a long time ago, there were two people who had attained enlightenment who ascended the sky in full view of the public. Therefore, the name of the Lake of the Fairy was given. In the past, people who came here to visit were endless. Some people who wanted to come to explore the ascension of immortals, and some wanted to come to enjoy the fairy spirit. More just came to join in the fun, but it created the prosperity of this small lake surrounded by mountains. However, since the outbreak of the war, this place has declined suddenly. Even if the matter of immortals is attractive, it is not important to have their own lives. Now this is the border between the two countries, where soldiers and bandits are rampant. If you come, you may not be able to leave.
However, today, the long-silent Dengxian Lake became lively again. The viewing hall, which was originally covered in dust and was covered with dead branches and leaves, was cleaned up, and there were also more people.
However, these people are not ordinary tourists, but soldiers one after another. Soldiers holding weapons and looking solemn, one of them is dozens of meters away along the lake embankment.
"What a good place!" Shu Hui carried his hands behind his back, looking at the small lake surrounded by mountains. The spring sunshine shone warmly on the lake. A faint mist was filled with mist on the lake, adding a bit of mystery. The green mountains around him were clearly reflected on the entire picture, without hearing the voices, only birds singing in the valley. "Today shouldn't have brought these soldiers to the earth to destroy the scenery."
"My lord has a noble status, and it is a place of trouble now. I dare not take risks." Liang Da replied respectfully.
Shu Hui smiled. How could he need the protection of these ordinary soldiers behind him? What is the danger? These people will only become their own burden. Of course, this is a means of Liang Da showing his loyalty and enthusiasm. As an official figure, even if he knows that this is just a scene, he still has to take it happily.
"Climbing the Fairy Lake, I'm a little sure now, or many years ago, there were such a person who ascended here. How could he see such a beautiful scene in Chang'an City?" Shu Hui stretched out his arms and took a deep breath.
"If you like it, you will build a villa for you here in the end. When you are idle, you can stay for a few days." Liang Da volunteered.
Shu Hui laughed loudly, "Build a house in another courtyard? General Liang, it seems that you have a lot of money in your pocket!" Liang Da said in a word, but then Shu Hui turned his mind, "If you add some humans to build this natural beauty, it will inevitably ruin Feng Shui and pollute your horizons. In fact, in my opinion, this viewing pavilion is completely unnecessary."
"I will shoot him and tear him down when I look back!" Liang Da said immediately.
"Okay, General Liang, I just felt it. Look at this pavilion, it's been a year, I'm afraid it's part of this beautiful scenery now. Since it's already built, there's no need to destroy it anymore." Shu Hui waved his hand and said, "General Liang, I heard that you have always wanted to be a field army. Since you were stationed in Dengxian, you have sent a lot of money to go up, right? How is the effect?"
Liang Da was completely confused. Shu Hui said in the east, west, the previous sentence was still lamenting this scenic spot, and the next sentence hit his own key points. He did want to turn into a field army and be promoted from a county army to a field army. This is not an easy task, but as long as he is promoted, no matter the equipment, number of personnel, or his own authority, he will have a significant increase. For example, Tang Qiang, who came to Dengxian to support this time, has a position of two levels lower than himself, but in front of him, he looks domineering and looks full of despised himself. He has nothing to say, so this is the gap.
There was no way before, but now he is stationed in Deng County, which is bordered by Yue. Liang Da, who felt that the opportunity has come, has collected a lot of money, but there has been no news. It was not until the last time that Mr. Liu from Shayang sent 100,000 taels of silver, and he gritted his teeth and took half to honor the officials of the Ministry of War. This was a little bit obvious. But this matter was an extremely secret matter, but how could the person in front of him know?
Looking at Liang Da who was sweating heavily, Shu Hui smiled faintly, "My mentor has always been in charge of the shadow. Since the last time I went hand in hand with Weizhuang, this shadow has been handed over to me. Some things, even if I don't want to know, will be sent to my desk."
"The last general, the last general is aware of his crime!" Liang Da's knees softened and he was about to kneel down. If the boss doesn't want to investigate you, you will have nothing to do. If the boss wants to investigate you, even if you only give me a needle, it will rise to a political level.
Shu Hui waved his hand, and a gentle force lifted Liang Da straight up, making him unable to kneel down even if he wanted to kneel down. He couldn't help but feel shocked. Shu Hui was the prince's personal disciple and had a noble status. However, Liang Da, as a peak martial arts master at level 8, felt irresistible when he was blown. Only then did he realize that the person in front of him was not relying solely on the power of the prince.
"Fifty thousand taels of silver are not a small amount. It seems that you are in Dengxian and have gained a lot." Shu Hui ignored Liang Da and said to himself: "But you have found the wrong person. The one you gave the money is probably forgot about this matter."
"I" Liang Da stuttered for a while, but couldn't say a word.
Shu Hui looked at the other party and suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't you ask me for help? Maybe one word of my word will make you realize your wish."
Liang Da could no longer hold back, and he knelt down again with a loud bang. This time, Shu Hui did not stop him. He turned to look at the other party, sat down slowly, and stared at Liang Da intently.
"The last general, the last general is willing to serve the work of the adults!" he said tremblingly.
Shu Hui nodded and turned to look at the calm lake like a mirror. "I am an orphan. I have been adopted by my master since I was a child. I never knew who my parents were. In this world, I was alone. I used to be surrounded by my master, but now my master and Wei Zhuang are in vain. I don't know when I can come out, or I can never come out. At this moment, I feel that people's hearts are unpredictable and things are unpredictable! Master has only two things in his life. One is that the Great Qi will unify the world, and the other is that the martial arts cultivation level is higher. Now the Great Qi is about to dominate the world, so he is obsessed with martial arts affairs. This time he took advantage of the opportunity to capture the coolies of Wei Zhuang. The two of them went to Xiang to participate in the things left by Emperor Li Qing that year. If they were not successful, they could not come out. If they succeed, they would not come out. I will not come out. My greatest backer will be gone."
"Da Qi, there are many aristocratic families, and there are many wealthy families that have not been passed down from the Tang Dynasty. For people like me, even if I am now at a high position and powerful position and trusted by the emperor, I cannot enter that circle. Do you know why? Consciousness! Those people look down on me! When I am a nouveau riche. Indeed, people like me are in charge of institutions like Shadow. I am not Master Wang, and maybe one day, they will disappear silently between heaven and earth. Hehe, I am not willing to accept that wealthy families are not born. Going back hundreds of years, how many wealthy families in Da Qi are left? Why can't I become one of them?"
Liang Da, who was kneeling on the ground, heard the cold sweat rinsed.
"Liang Da, you have figured it out. If you really want to follow me, then from now on, you will breathe with me and share your destiny. I will be prosperous, I will be defeated, and you will die!" Shu Hui looked at Liang Da coldly.
Liang Da lowered his head. In an instant, the bluestone slab in front of him was already covered with sweat. He struggled for a moment and suddenly looked up: "Sir, wealth and honor are in danger. Liang Da is also from a poor family. He struggled to the position of county soldiers. Whether it is diligent in government affairs or bribery, no one will pay attention to me anymore. It is rare for the adults to give me this opportunity, so I will certainly hold it firmly." Liang Da said: "I wish to breathe with the adults and share the destiny."
Shu Hui laughed, "This is really better than what I want to do and do, and I can't listen to these empty words. Liang Da, the wealthy family's foundation is wealth and power. I am in charge of the shadows, and my status is sensitive. Although I have trust, I have to give up a lot of things. Since you are willing to embark on this path with me, I will naturally create many conveniences for you. First, it is to upgrade you to the field army. This time, the affairs of Fengxian are an opportunity."
"Thank you, sir." Liang Da was overjoyed. The things he had been asking for but couldn't get was just a word in Shu Hui's mouth. I think the 50,000 taels of silver was really fed to the dog the previous time.
"Get up!" He reached out and helped Liang Da up, Shu Hui smiled and said, "Deng County is a good place, and Yue Guo is a good place. If you are stationed here, you have great potential."
"It depends on the support of the master." Liang Da said repeatedly.
"Wrong, I can only help you get on the horse, but how to walk the road ahead depends on yourself. I can upgrade you to a field army, but I can't get you a regular field army. The only thing I can do is Tang Qiang's army, I will stay for you."
"Does Tang Qiang also want to stay?" Liang Da was shocked.
Shu Hui shook his head, "Of course this person can't stay. If he stays, you will become an empty air. This person's background is not simple. He was also sent by someone from above. He originally wanted to make some military achievements in this Shayang County incident, but now he has gained nothing, and it's a good deal for you."
"What should I do next?" Liang Da asked carefully. From Shu Hui's mouth, he could hear that Shu Hui meant wealth, and he was interested in the place where he was stationed now, and could easily grab wealth from Yue Kingdom.
"Specifically, we have to see how the negotiations with the other party this time?" Shu Hui frowned, "or, we can cooperate."
"Collaborate with a gang of bandits?" Liang Da asked in surprise.
"Don't regard them as a group of bandits." Shu Hui shook his head and said, "Look at the other party's behavior, how come he looks like a group of bandits?" To be continued.
