Lin Xing followed Zhao Yuan back to the Marshal's Mansion. Along the way, Zhao Yuan also asked who the puppet girl was.

Lin Xing said that he found it after the suppression of the evil spirit this time, because the other party lacked the ability to take care of himself and had lost all his relatives, so he took him with him to take care of him.

Zhao Yuan only regarded the puppet girl as the newly recruited maidservant of the other party. Although she was too beautiful, it was not the focus of him finding Lin Xing this time.

"Lin Xing, now that the battle is imminent, you and I have made military achievements with one shot and one sword, and we should support each other even more in the future..."

During Zhao Yuan's speech, he had a great intention to win over Lin Xing.

Then when he came to the hall of the Marshal's Mansion, Lin Xing found that Marshal Zhang, Zhu Fen, Song Yi and many other officers had already arrived.

Marshal Zhang is currently lining up his troops facing a map of Dongya Mansion.

After seeing Lin Xing coming, Marshal Zhang laughed and said, "Lin Xing, you came back just in time. I thought it would take four or five days for you to go to Wangjia Town. I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

"Tell me, what happened to that ghost."

Lin Xing said: "It is the teacher of the Zhou family who secretly sacrificed to the evil place and cultivated the evil..."

Listening to Lin Xing's eloquence, some people at the scene were surprised, some pondered, and some didn't take it seriously.

In the end, Dashuai Zhang sighed: "I originally thought the rumors of evil spirits were only rural rumors, and they were not worth believing. I never thought that there really existed in this world."

"It's just that it seems that the danger of evil spirits is still no match for the hearts of the people."

Then he said: "Since the evil spirits have been suppressed, then you will join us to wipe out the cults."

In Zhang Dashuai's plan, the troops will be divided into four groups, each of which will wipe out several evil forces in Dongya Mansion, and finally meet in Shanghe County.

Among them, Marshal Zhang personally sits in charge along the way, while Zhao Yuan and Song Yi each lead the way.

And Lin Xing led the way again, assisted by Zhu Fen as an adjutant.

Hearing this assignment, Zhu Fen exclaimed in surprise, "Brother-in-law!"

Dashuai Zhang frowned and glanced at him, his icy gaze was like a knife's edge.

Zhu Fen's body trembled, swallowed and said, "Marshal, those bastards under my command have been spoiled by me, and they are all rebellious. I'm afraid it's not easy to command under Brother Lin."

Dashuai Zhang said indifferently: "So didn't I ask you to assist Lin Xing and help him direct?"

Zhu Fen blushed, and pointed at himself angrily, and then at Lin Xing: "Shall I assist him?"

Dashuai Zhang looked at him with his head tilted, and there seemed to be a trace of impatience in his eyes: "What? Are you going to disobey my commander's order?"

Swept by that blade-like gaze, Zhu Fen shrank his neck, saying he didn't even dare.

Next, Dashuai Zhang focused on the various arrangements.

Halfway through the talk, a personal guard suddenly trotted in.

"Marshal, it's a letter from the Dongjiang Provincial Administrative Office."

Hearing these words, the scene fell silent for a moment, and everyone watched Dashuai Zhang take the letter quietly.

Dashuai Zhang looked at the contents of the letter, but couldn't see the slightest change in his expression. He just put down the letter after a while, as if nothing happened, and continued to explain the situation of the battle.

A trace of curiosity flashed in Lin Xing's eyes, and he asked Zhao Yuan beside him in a low voice: "This Dongjiang Provincial Administrative Office..."

Zhao Yuan, who was on the side, snorted and said: "The scholars in the Provincial Administrative Office don't know how to fight at all, they only know how to remind them, and it's over if they listen to them..."

Dashuai Zhang glanced at the two of them: "Both of you, listen to me attentively."

The meeting ended in a blink of an eye, and everyone dispersed after understanding their respective tasks.

But Lin Xing took the initiative to stay.

Originally seeing Lin Xing staying, Marshal Zhang thought that the other party had something important to do, but it turned out that Lin Xing actually persuaded him not to burn people to death, and asked him to clean up military discipline and strengthen public security management...

Looking at the upright and serious face of the other party, Zhang Dashuai kept scratching his head, just finding it troublesome.

Now that the war is imminent, he has no intention of doing this at all.

But the other party was his general after all, and he didn't want to quarrel with him at this critical moment, so he let Lin Xing leave after a few casual promises.

Afterwards, only Zhu Fen and the Marshal were left in the hall.

Looking at Lin Xing's leaving back, Zhang Dashuai rubbed his brows and said: "This kid is good at everything, but he is too young, and he is a bit of a woman's benevolence. As for the unruly people in Dongya Mansion, if you don't punish them How can the thunder method convince the public?"

Zhu Fen said in a low voice, "That's right, brother-in-law, I'm just afraid that Lin Xing is too young and inexperienced, and he still doesn't know each other well with that cult witch. If you soften your heart on the battlefield, it will ruin your event..."

Without giving the other party a chance to continue talking, Dashuai Zhang said coldly: "You did a really good job when you went out to suppress the rioters this time."

Zhu Fen showed a slight smile just now, but when he heard what Zhang Dashuai said next, it was as if a gust of wind had blown him, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

I only heard Zhang Dashuai say: "You made a lot of money, right? I heard that you also turned several big families into cult believers, took over their land property and house deeds, and sold other people's wives, daughters and servants. You are really making money."

Zhu Fen quickly explained: "Brother-in-law, listen to me..."

An aura like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood gushed out from Dashuai Zhang's body, as if a knife had been put on Zhu Fen's neck, preventing him from saying what he wanted to say next.

Dashuai Zhang looked at him indifferently and said: "You don't need to explain, why do you have to explain? It's just for making some money, they are all my brothers, no matter how much money you make, I can still turn a blind eye."

"But you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't drink soldiers' blood under my hands."

Accompanied by the killing intent, Zhu Fen fell to his knees in fright: "Sister, brother-in-law, I don't have one."

Dashuai Zhang said coldly: "I, Zhang Tiande, do not come from a wealthy and famous family, and secondly, I do not have a first-class teacher from the Nine Schools. What can I rely on?"

He pointed to the outside of the hall, in the direction of the barracks, and said: "Over the years, I have relied on the loyalty of my brothers, on the dedication of the soldiers, and on the territory they and I have built inch by inch."

"When you drink their blood, you drink my blood."

"I'll give you one day, before the army sets off, I will make up all the owed soldiers' salaries and send them down."

After Zhu Fen left, a blush flashed across Zhang Dashuai's cheeks, as if the injury in his body was affected again, but he quickly suppressed it again.

He glanced at the positions where everyone was standing or sitting just now, and ordered the servants beside him, "Wipe everything clean."

……

Not long after, in a certain courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion.

Zhu Fen knelt on the ground and cried to a woman: "Sister, how old am I? How many years have I fought with Zhang Tiande? Now he wants me to help that little boy Lin Xing? My military power is gone!"

Sitting in front of Zhu Fen was a middle-aged woman with a graceful figure and a round face. She was Zhang Dashuai's official wife, Zhu Shi.

Hearing his younger brother's cry, Zhu said with a smile: "You don't know Tiande's character? He never treats his own people badly. You should do things for him this time, and I will help you to beg him afterwards." .”

"Sister! Why do you always ask us to beg him?" Zhu Fen said indignantly, "As for the three generations of Zhang Tiande, if it weren't for the fact that our Zhu family bought guns for him and donated his official status in the government office for him. , can he have what he is today?"

"As a result, his concubine has married eighth wife in the past few years, and now he still wants to remove my military power. There is such a thing as crossing the river and tearing down the bridge..."

Listening to what his younger brother said, Mrs. Zhu's face seemed to gradually turn ugly.

Looking at her younger brother who has loved her since she was a child, Zhu scolded her: "Don't always speak ill of your brother-in-law in front of me. Your brother-in-law has told me all those things about you. You know what he hates the most, but you still do this kind of thing?"

"You do your best this time and strive for meritorious service, so that I can speak for you."

After being reprimanded, Zhu Fen left the courtyard angrily, with a trace of strong unwillingness in his eyes.
