East Factory Governor

Chapter 717 The Kindness of the Demon Cult

It is more than 700 miles from Luoyang to Xi'an. Because there is a large amount of food and supplies, the march is very slow. It took seven days to drive to Baqiao Town, ten miles away from Xi'an.

It was already dark at this time, so Qin Shuhuai ordered the food and grass team to rest in the town, and wait until tomorrow morning before entering the city.

Just as everyone entered the town in an orderly manner, suddenly two fast horses came running ahead.

Before the horse stopped, someone shouted, "Brother Qin, don't come here without any problems!"

As soon as Qin Shuhuai heard it, he knew that he was the same person.

When the two got closer, they found that besides Buer Sanren, Wu Lie, the leader of the Demon Sect's Raging Fire Banner, had also come.

Meng Wei, Meng Hu and the others frowned, they didn't understand why the Demon Cult had come to look for the Duke since they had already retreated, so they immediately came to separate Qin Shuhuai and watched them covetously.

Qin Shuhuai smiled and waved to them, signaling that they don't need to be nervous.

Then he clasped his fists at Buer Sanren and Wu Lie and said, "Brother Buer, Wu Qizhu, long time no see!"

The two immediately clasped their fists in return.

Wu Lie said, "Master Qin, what great things you have done in the past six months! First you exempted the world's agricultural taxes with a wave of your hand, and then forced the landlords and gentry to share their land with the people by means of thunder. .Such skill, such ambition, Wu admires! Admire!"

Wu Lie even said two words of "admiration", both with accents.

Buer Sanren immediately answered, "Hehe, Brother Wu is right. Brother Qin is in the Jianghu, and the Jianghu has been turned upside down by you. I didn't expect to enter the court and do things like this. You are a monster of Ming Dynasty. His reputation is indeed well-deserved! My brother not only admires it, but also admires it all over the body, and admires it from the bottom of my heart."

Qin Shuhuai chuckled, and said, "Brother Bu Er, Master Wu Banner, we are old acquaintances, so don't talk about things like this."

After a pause, he continued, "What Qin is doing now is nothing more than what he said in front of Hierarch Yan that day. I think that even though Hierarch Yan suffered from worldly meritorious deeds, he still did not forget to worry about the country and the people. The two sides have a personal enmity, and discussing the strategy of rejuvenating the world with my subordinates is really admirable. To this day, Qin often recalls the heroic appearance of Yan Jiaozhu. Fortunately, what Qin did in the past six months did not violate what he said that day, and there will be more in the future Go face to burn a stick of incense in front of the grave of Master Yan."

Half of these words were polite, and half were true feelings.

Speaking of which, if Yan Wuyue hadn't stopped the empress halfway for him that day, he would have died in the hands of the empress long ago.

And a detail worth exploring is that if Yan Wuyue only wanted to die with the empress, she could wait for the empress to kill Qin Shuhuai before coming out.

But he didn't.

At the moment of Qin Shuhuai's life and death, Yan Wuyue made a decision that could change the history of Ming Dynasty to some extent.

He didn't think Qin Shuhuai deserved to die, or he couldn't die.

What does this mean?

Perhaps it means that he has recognized the policies of governing the country that Qin Shuhuai told him before, and also recognized that Qin Shuhuai's existence is beneficial to the people of the world.

Even though, Qin Shuhuai had killed tens of thousands of demon cultists.Even Yan Wuyue's own son almost died because of Qin Shuhuai.

But Yan Wuyue still chose him to die and Qin Shuhuai to live!
From this perspective, Qin Shuhuai is very grateful to Yan Wuyue.

Moreover, he also admitted that if he hadn't been distracted by the work of heaven and earth, Yan Wuyue would probably be on the same front with him - to calm the troubled times and rejuvenate the world.

From this perspective, he admires Yan Wuyue again.

Qin Shuhuai's words were polite and sincere, which made Buer Sanren and Wu Lie feel extremely comfortable listening to them.

Wu Lie hurriedly said, "What the leader of the Qin alliance said in front of the former leader that day is now known to everyone in our church. It is precisely because what the leader of the Qin alliance is doing now does not violate what he said that day, and is even more shocking than what he said at the beginning. I am amazed, so my teachers and I are convinced by the leader of the Qin alliance. And the two of us came this time, and we also brought the leader and the right protector's message."

Qin Shuhuai immediately asked, "Oh? Your religion already has a new leader?"

Wu Lie said, "Exactly. The so-called dragons cannot be without a leader. After my sect withdrew from Gansu, I have supported the young master as my sect's six sect masters."

"Oh, that's very good!" Qin Shuhuai said happily, "Brother Hui is kind and kind, and he will definitely lead your religion to revive the divine power. By the way, what is the message you brought?"

Wu Lie said, "The leader said that the new policy promoted by the leader of the Qin League is a major event that benefits the country and the people for generations to come. Compared with my teaching, personal enmity is insignificant. Now is the critical moment for the implementation of the new policy. If you are distracted or The success fell short. Therefore, the leader ordered the two of us to come to inform the leader of the Qin alliance. The alliance leader of Qin can temporarily put aside the appointment of the Western Expedition in half a year. Whether it is another half a year or a year, I am willing to wait. In addition, when the new policy is implemented, No matter if there are any changes in the court or in the Jianghu, my sect is willing to go all out to help the leader of the Qin alliance to calm down!"

Buer Sanren added, "This is not only the intention of our leader, but also the intention of Protector Mei and the apostles. Speaking of which, Protector Mei brought this up first. He is afraid that your distraction will spoil the overall situation!"

Wu Lie said with a smile, "Protector Mei is probably the one who cares most about the New Deal. These days, he travels around all over the world alone, sending letters from time to time detailing what he has seen and heard about the New Deal in various places. His words can't hide his excitement and excitement. He bluntly said that this is a millennium. Unprecedented changes in the situation! Therefore, he has always advised the leader to do his best to help the court and the leader of the Qin alliance."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuhuai said, "Mr. Qin, thank you for your kindness. Although your sect has a bloody enmity, you still put the people of the world first. Qin is very grateful. However, Mr. Qin personally agreed to your sect for the Western Expedition. Can you keep your word? Let’s see, you two, what’s on this car?”

Wu Lie and Bu'er Sanren looked around with countless torches, and saw hundreds of carts stretching endlessly, all of which were fully loaded.

Wu Lie wondered, "Could it be that this is military rations?"

Qin Shuhuai nodded and said, "That's right, it is the military rations needed for the expedition. There are only [-] shi here, and another [-] shi is on the way to Lanzhou."

"Brother Qin really decided to march west now?" Buer Sanren asked hastily.

"Exactly!"

"Can you be sure?"

"With the allied forces of Wulin and the strong soldiers of Shaanxi, we are confident."

Wu Lie and Buer Sanren looked at each other, obviously they didn't expect this situation.

Originally, the Demon Sect agreed that the fact that Qin Shuhuai hadn't raised an army until now must be because he was stuck in the New Deal and couldn't go on an expedition for the time being.Unexpectedly, even the military rations have been prepared.

Wu Lie asked again, "At this time, the New Deal has only just been implemented, and the leader of the Qin Alliance needs to sort out all the clues. If the leader of the Qin Alliance leads an expedition, what will happen to the New Deal?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled wryly, "Let's see. That's my plan. I will fight with Yarkand on the border first. If it goes well, then I don't have to conscript myself. If it doesn't go well, I'm afraid I have to conscript again. I had no choice but to let it go. Banner Master Wu, Brother Buer, Yaerqiang and Junggar, there must be one of them that will become my confidant's trouble. Only by solving it as soon as possible can we make fewer sacrifices in the future."

Wu Lie thought for a while and said, "Master Qin, can you slow down the matter of the Western Expedition for a while? Brother Buer and I will go back to Guangmingding and report this matter to the leader. Please rest assured, leader Qin. I believe that the leader will never stand idly by after knowing about it. !"

Bu'er Sanren also said, "That's right, the Western Expedition to Yeerqiang is to avenge the leader and Zuo Dharma for the purpose of destroying Ruoqiang. If my teaching stands by and does nothing, what kind of revenge is it?"

Doesn't Qin Shuhuai want what they said?
Said, "If your teaching can lend a helping hand, that would be great! In this way, I will wait for news from your teaching in Lanzhou."

Wu Lie immediately said, "Okay! The two of us will return to Guangmingding now."

Qin Shuhuai said, "You two, don't be in a hurry right now? We haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you go into the town and have a few drinks to catch up?"

When Buer Sanren heard about drinking, he was ready to move.

Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, Wu Lie said first, "It's urgent, we should go back and report to the leader first. The moment this matter is settled earlier, there will be more time for planning. As for drinking, wait until the important matter is settled, Wu Lie You must get drunk with the leader of the Qin alliance before you can rest!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Buer Sanren very ignorant of current affairs, "Brother Buer, let's go quickly."

Buer Sanren sighed helplessly, so he had no choice but to say to Qin Shuhuai, "Brother Qin, save the wine for me, and drink it when we return to Lanzhou City."

Qin Shuhuai chuckled, "Inevitable, inevitable!"

……

After resting in the town for one night, the brigade drove into Xi'an city early the next morning.

To Qin Shuhuai's surprise, in addition to Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the Trilateral Military Affairs, came to greet him.

Can't help wondering: Shouldn't Lu Xiangsheng be in Taiyuan?Why did you come to Xi'an? I didn't hear that he was coming here before?
Lu Xiangsheng came to Xi'an precisely because he knew that Qin Shuhuai was coming to Xi'an.

He also wants to fight!
He knew very well that if he wanted to ask for a fight, he had to ask the Duke first.The emperor will only agree if the Duke of the country agrees.

Why did he ask?
This starts with his fantastic rise in the past year or so.

Lu Xiangsheng is only 31 years old.

However, he has already become the governor, and entered the cabinet to govern, which is very rare in Ming Dynasty.

The most important thing is that he hasn't made much achievements so far.

In history, he fought three sides, fought against the Qing army, fought bravely and was good at running the army. The bandits in the Central Plains called him "Lu Yanwang", and the history of Ming Dynasty called him "the talent of the world". Even the Qing army had a headache when they saw him.Thanks to his illustrious achievements, he became an official governor at the age of 36, which can be described as a generation of outstanding people who are well-known all over the world.

But the problem is, his fortune began in the sixth year of Chongzhen, and now it is only four years in Chongzhen, the world has already been preliminarily determined, so what else can he do?

Even though he showed excellent military skills after he took office as the governor of the three sides. During the battle between Qin Shuhuai and the Demon Sect and Gao Yingxiang, he stabilized Zhang Xianzhong and other rogues, and managed the three sides in an orderly manner. The cabinet, he still can't believe it.

By the way, he still doesn't understand why he miraculously became the governor of the three sides from a former magistrate with Ding You at home.

The only thing he knew was that he was able to have what he is today because of the strong recommendation of the Duke.

But he has a guilty conscience.

Although he thinks that he is talented enough to be the governor and the cabinet, but he does not have any special honors, and he feels that he is not worthy of such a high position.

So, he couldn't wait to prove himself.

He especially wanted his bole Qin Shuhuai to see that he did not choose the wrong person!
He, Lu Xiangsheng, deserves the appreciation of the Duke!
