marquis of jingan

In mid-November, Master Shen, who had been resting in Huai'an for almost half a month, finally had the scab on his right shoulder.

He untied the cloth strip that had been hanging for half a month.

Although he recovered from his injuries, there was no joy on Master Shen's face.

Ye Chan helped Shen Yi, took off the bandage, and carefully helped him put on a thicker dress.

After putting on her clothes, she sized Shen Yi up, then looked at Shen Yi's expression, and asked softly, "Master, are you going out?"

"Ah."

Master Shen stretched out his hand and pinched Ye Chan's face, a smile appeared on his face: "I need to go out and do something."

Ye Chan looked at Shen Yi, and sighed slightly: "Master, I've been in a bad mood for the past few days."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "It's okay, the mood will be better after the matter is over, and now is the time to settle this matter."

He bid farewell to Ye Chan, took a dozen or so entourages, and left from the palace of the imperial envoy.

Because the injury on his arm was not healed, Shen Yi didn't ride a horse at this moment, but went out in a carriage. Fortunately, the distance was not very far. In just a day or two, he arrived at the Lianshui camp on the west line of the Huai'an defense line.

This is the largest battalion on the western front, and it is also the core of the western front. There are four battalions of thousands of households stationed here.

Nearly half of the troops on the western front are deployed here.

And Ling Su, the main general on the western front, spends most of his days in charge of military affairs on the western front here.

Knowing that Shen Yi was coming, early in the morning, Ling Su brought a group of generals from the Lianshui camp to meet Shen Yi on the official road. Basically, more than a hundred households were present.

Shen Yi, as the imperial envoy of the Huai'an Warlord, patrolling the defense along the Huaihe River is a very normal thing, and it is also his job.

It was around noon when Master Shen's carriage arrived near the Lianshui camp. Ling Su led a group of generals and stood on both sides of the official road. When Shen Yi's carriage approached, the group of people bowed their heads and clasped their fists in salute.

Because they have been trained in advance, their voices are neat.

Dozens of people spoke in unison, very resoundingly.

"The last general waits, and pays homage to Duke Shen!"

The carriage stopped slowly, Shen Yi lifted the curtain, glanced at the generals on both sides of the road who bowed to him in salute, he narrowed his eyes slightly, closed the curtain again, and said calmly.

"Go back to the camp."

Ling Su was stunned.

He looked up at Shen Yi's carriage, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Because, the attitude of Shen Gong in front of him... seems a little too cold.

It seems a little different from the gentle Shen Gong before.

If it was Shen Yi from before, no matter what happens now, he would get out of the carriage, meet and talk with these subordinates, and then board the carriage and return to the camp.

And now Master Shen...

changed.

It has become a bit like other civil servants.

However, Ling Su didn't think for a long time, after being slightly stunned, he respectfully clasped his fists and said yes.

Immediately afterwards, everyone got on their horses one after another, surrounded Shen Yi's carriage, and entered the Lianshui camp. Afterwards, the Lianshui camp was promoted, and Shen Yigao took the position of commander in chief.

After Shen Yi was seated, Ling Su coughed, and said to Shen Yi: "Mr. Shen, because I just received the news that you are going to inspect the Lianshui camp yesterday, and my subordinates did not have time to call all the thousands of households from the western front. Only Two thousand households from nearby Pingqiao Daying came to the scene, Mr. Shen, do you want to call all the other thousand households?"

A smile appeared on Master Shen's face.

At this time, he should have smiled.

It's just that the mood is really not very good, the forced smile turned into a smirk, which made the generals of the Lianshui camp feel terrified.

Especially Ling Su.

Ling Su's professional ability can only be said to be upper-middle class, but he is well versed in the way of being an official. Seeing Shen Yi like this, he felt something was wrong in his heart. .

He hesitated for a while, but still put his fists together and said: "Mr. Shen, is it the defense on the western front? Is there anything that makes you dissatisfied? If there is something inappropriate..."

He half knelt down, bowed his head and said, "The final general begs Mr. Shen to punish him!"

Shen Yi let out a deep breath of turbid air, and the smelly face finally dissipated slowly.

It's not that he is not deep in the city and puts everything on his face.

It was this incident that made him feel very uncomfortable.

and……

In Huai'an, he, Shen Qi, is the sky and speaks his mind, there is really no need to put on airs in front of these subordinates.

Master Shen waved his hand lightly, and said: "General Ling, get up quickly, I am here this time, just for daily inspection along the Huaihe River defense, and there is nothing else."

After Ling Su got up, he glanced at the thousands of households present, with a calm expression: "In addition to patrolling the defense, Jiankang sent fifty new telescopes a few days ago, and the effect is better than the previous one. There are quite a few, and the scout battalion has been equipped, so I thought about sending them to the brothers on the western front."

He looked around everyone with a calm expression: "However, the telescope is still a top secret item of the imperial court. In order to prevent it from falling into the hands of Qi people, the telescope that was originally distributed to thousands of households must be handed in in advance. After handing it in, I will give it to you tomorrow." New ones, everyone."

Speaking of this, Master Shen sat in his seat, and said indifferently: "Before sunset, send all the old binoculars to the commander's tent, and put them into the warehouse by the military documents."

A group of thousands of households looked at each other, bowed their heads, bowed their fists to Shen Yi, left the handsome tent, and went back to get the binoculars.

Ling Su voluntarily stayed there. After everyone left, he looked at Shen Yi, stepped forward cautiously, bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Shen..."

"You don't seem to be in a good mood..."

He lowered his head, rolled his eyeballs, and said bravely, "Is it..."

General Ling gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Is it about Zhou Qiao's defense leak..."

Hearing his words, Master Shen glanced at him thoughtfully, then remained expressionless.

"Yes."

Hearing this word, Ling Su trembled all over.

This is what he is most afraid of!

It's not that he, Ling Su, had an affair with the people of Qi.

Naturally, he didn't cheat on Qiren, he was worried, it was his subordinate who cheated on Qiren!

Because of him, his status in the entire capital group is already a bit awkward.

Since the Dusi took over the defense of Huai'an in August, he has fought several battles with the Qi people, but the few tough battles were basically fought on the eastern front. As a result, a general Su Dingsu rose from the army.

He Ling Su may be replaced at any time now.

Only one chance to be replaced...

And if someone among his subordinates had an affair with Qiren, it is conceivable how Shen Yi would be annoyed?How angry?
As long as this anger spreads to him even a little bit, his position as the chief general will be in jeopardy.

Seeing Ling Su's ugly face, Shen Yi looked at him quietly.

"Is General Ling thinking that Shen deliberately set up a game to get rid of you as the chief general?"

Ling Su's face was pale, and he knelt down in front of Shen Yi, lowering his head: "The last general dare not."

He gritted his teeth and said, "The general only hates himself for not being strict with his subordinates, and only hates the beast under his hands for eating inside and outside!"

"Duke Shen, you hand over the list to the last general, and the last general will concoct him himself!"

Master Shen's face was calm, and he said lightly: "Who is it? General Ling is waiting here quietly. Before sunset, we will find out."

Ling Su just knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Shen Yi didn't help him up either, but just sat on his own.

Soon, there were Qianhu who moved quickly and came back to hand in the binoculars. As soon as they entered the handsome tent, they saw Ling Su kneeling on the ground, and they felt a thump in their hearts.

Thousands of households came in one after another and handed over their binoculars.

There are a total of [-] telescopes on the entire western front. In addition to the thousands of households, the scout battalion sent out two more telescopes, and one command officer also sent out telescopes.

By sunset, only thirteen pieces were handed in.

Qianhu Shen Da knelt in front of Shen Yi, faltered, then lowered his head and said: "Mr. Shen, your telescope..."

"lost…"

Shen Yi looked at him quietly, and asked, "Is it lost, or lent it to someone else?"

Hearing Shen Yi's question, Ling Su stood up directly and stared at Shen Da viciously.

Shen Da shrank his neck, turned his head and glanced at another one of the thousands of households behind him.

Like avoiding snakes and scorpions, the man subconsciously took half a step back.

Shen Da gritted his teeth and lowered his head: "Go back to Mr. Shen, I accidentally lost my telescope..."

"The subordinate suspects that someone stole it..."

"I've been looking for it for several days. A few days ago, my subordinates sent documents to Mr. Shen, explaining this matter..."

Master Shen narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled.

He clapped his hands lightly and said with emotion.

"It's really righteous."
