Chapter 265 Female Marshal

"Speaking of which, when you go over, the first thing people ask is whether you have eaten..." The middle-aged woman in red took a sip of tea and looked up in the luxuriously furnished and spacious hall, "So you are here He's had lunch at home."

It was the afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly from the patio into the yard. Under the veranda near the hall, there were only female soldiers on guard.The middle-aged woman is not considered beautiful. She looks about 30 years old, but she is tall and strong. She is wearing a red dress like a battle robe at this time, and she also looks a bit heroic.An Xifu, dressed in black, stood at the entrance of the hall and cupped his hands: "Uh...Reply to the Marshal...Yes."

"You can just call me Aunt Baihua." This middle-aged woman is Fang La's younger sister Fang Baihua, and now she is the marshal of Fang La's army in the middle and northwest.She is highly skilled in martial arts. She was originally a saintess of the Manichaeism branch led by Fang La. Now she has fought repeatedly. Even if she is a woman, she is not lacking in coercion and murderous aura.But right now, there was a smile on his face, showing a little gentleness, put down the teacup, and waved his hand: "I thought you would come at noon, and asked the kitchen to prepare the dishes, Xi... Sissy couldn't come over because of something. You What do you think of that man?"

"Calm, doesn't talk much, but her demeanor is quite heart-wrenching."

"It must be good for Sissy to value him so much. Did you talk to him about anything?"

"I... asked him his opinion on the situation after the Huzhou battle. If he hadn't been injured until he fell into a coma at that time, how would he deal with the next battle situation."

"His answer."

"He didn't answer directly. He only said that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and everything that can be done has been done. If the enemy cannot be wiped out at that time, then he will just follow the steps and return to Huzhou to save his life."

Fang Baihua nodded: "It's pretty standard. What he did in Huzhou was just a risky gamble, and he was put to death to survive. It's not surprising that scholars who are in a hurry would do this kind of thing, but I heard that in Hangzhou At that time, his ring-to-loop plan almost caught Seventh Brother and the others. This is a formidable ability...Let’s leave it at that. Since Sissy wants to use him, you just need to help him out. I'm still relieved."

She is also a person who manages every day, but because the matter is related to the Badao Camp, she just asked. When it comes to this, she will no longer care about it: "I will go to see Shenggong later. You were in Huzhou to supervise the battle before. Come back, I see that the promotion list only gave you a partial rank, I plan to give you a few more ranks, what do you think?"

"Auntie Xie Baihua is concerned. Xifu only has 300 Black Lingwei guards. It doesn't matter what the official position is."

"Hei Lingwei is in charge of military law. You are an elite. You are one of my subordinates. It is reasonable to have a higher official position. Besides, Hangzhou has been troubled recently. When your Hei Lingwei comes back, I plan to let the Holy Duke inspect Hangzhou. The position is entrusted to you, and the high official rank is the only way to control people, and the name is justified."

An Xifu frowned: "Before, regarding the patrol inspection, the commander-in-chief of the Buddha was assigned to Chen Fan. Chen Fan did a good job. If it were assigned to me, I'm afraid..."

Fang Baihua waved his hand: "Chen Fan is good at doing things and can manage the overall situation, but he is too careless in details, and he may offend a lot of people. Now that Sheng Gong has proclaimed himself emperor, he should be called His Majesty, and it is not good for the city of Hangzhou to let him be like this forever." If you continue to kill, there should always be some dignity."

An Xifu cupped his hands and said, "If it wasn't for Chen Fan's behavior, he would be in Hangzhou now..."

The other person interrupted him: "You are different from Chen Fan. You are also brave enough to handle things, but where you can be gentle, you can always be gentler. In fact, I just came back today, and someone told me about Chen Fan. At noon, Dao Yi also came to see me. Some of his subordinates were indeed outlaws, but if Chen Fan was allowed to beat and kill like this, he might not be able to hold back. He was already making concessions on this matter. He saves face."

Fang Baihua said, looked at An Xifu's expression, and frowned again: "I also know what you think of Bao Tianshi, I also know him, he is a bit messy, he likes beautiful women, loves There are some goods. But we killed people and rebelled at Lishantou, who is not like this, the small details are bad, it is not surprising. In the past, in wars, everyone entered the city without sealing their swords for three days, and they took what should be taken. If you are an emperor, you should be a little particular, but you have to take your time."

She then smiled: "I know Chen Fan, he is very hot-tempered, he looks like he doesn't think about anything, but he is actually very smart, but...he asks too much, and thinks too much of people. They are all under Bao Tianshi's subordinates, and they know how to restrain themselves, but if this continues, after a while, I'm afraid he will really attack Dao Yi. When Brother Seven comes back, he can talk about Dao Yi. If he does this, There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. After much deliberation, after all, you still know how to measure, this matter is settled, you think about how to manage Hangzhou well."

"...Yes." An Xifu accepted the order. He also had some opinions on Bao Daoyi, but he also knew the friendship between Fang Baihua and others.Bao Daoyi was originally the leader of the Manichaeism, and now he can be regarded as one of the biggest hilltops under Fang La's seat. His subordinates are a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, but when he was in the Manichaeism, he had a fatal friendship with Fang La and Fang Baihua. Although everyone knows that he is not a good person, in Fang La's army, except for Fang Qifo and a few others, no one can touch him.

He understood Fang Baihua's thoughts. Compared to Chen Fan, he might be more suitable for maintaining Hangzhou, at least in the matter of "not moving Bao Dao Yi".I can't touch Baodao Yi no matter what. As for Chen Fan, although that guy will always tell himself in his heart, "Don't touch Baodao B" and "Don't touch Baodao B", but maybe he will I couldn't help but take a stone mill and smash it on Bao Dao Yi's head - although I really hope to see such a scene.

After finishing this matter, he said a few long and short greetings as usual. Fang Baihua asked An Xifu's wife and concubine, and said, "Xifu, I told you last time that my niece, Aqiao, is envious of you. It's been a long time, how about you, find a time, and you two will meet formally?"

An Xifu's face was expressionless, and after a while, he cupped his hands and said, "I already have one wife and two concubines at home, and I feel troublesome and can't handle it."

Fang Baihua smiled and said: "If a woman suppresses a man, one wife is enough. If a man suppresses a woman, it doesn't matter how many wives and concubines there are. If you find it troublesome, just let them go away. How about it, Aqiao Now in the army, she is deeply loved, and her subordinates..."

She has always had a forthright personality. Her husband-in-law used to be a scholar. Fang Baihua was more powerful and had always been in charge of the housework. She was considered the former, but she was quite gentle and virtuous to her husband. She took care of everything outside the house by herself.However, for ordinary families, it is also a relatively common machismo idea, and it is always taken for granted that a truly capable man has three wives and four concubines.At this time, I introduced the benefits of my niece, and it felt like "she likes you, so you take her back to be a concubine carelessly, and beat and scold you as you please". After listening to a few words, An Xifu replied: "She looks like Cattle."

"Uh..." Fang Baihua thought for a while, "Let's talk about it later."

To say a few more words, when An Xifu was about to leave, Fang Baihua said: "As for the matter of Ning Liheng, he is now considered a member of Shenggong's command. In a few days, we might as well arrange a seat for him at the official banquet. Let go of his idea of ​​betraying the truth, and secondly, let me see what kind of person he is... You go ahead, if you think he can be handed over, you might as well tell him about it."

*****************

Without An Xifu's notice or Fang Baihua's arrangement, Ning Yi already knew the news of the official banquet held by Fang La in a few days.

He has a seat.

Although the matter of joining Badaoying was not too publicized, after Fang La established the prototype of the entire imperial court, Liu Xigua still arranged an official position for him.Naturally, the position is not high, and the official status is also somewhat vague. It is said that Badaoying wrote the documents, and the rank was originally said to be ninth rank.In short, he is still a petty official who cannot be used to bully others.

At this time, there are countless grades in the Fangla system, but the official banquet on August 500 is relatively formal. It is said that all officials and generals in Hangzhou will participate. The number of people who are arranged to go will be about [-] in the end.This was Fang La's first official banquet after he ascended the throne. If the imperial court would arrange spies here, most of the people at the banquet would be officially recorded.

This matter is quite serious, but for Ning Yi, he was relieved.He originally worried that if Liu Xigua wanted to make his joining a big deal, it would be difficult to clear up this matter in the future, and the entire Su family might be implicated.Fortunately, Liu Xigua did not do this, and now he can only be thankful that the other party underestimated the power available behind him. With the relationship between Kang Xian and Qin Yuyuan, when things are pressed to this level, they should still be able to press down.If it goes up a few levels, it's hard to say.

He received An Xifu for a meal at noon, and in the afternoon came to Liu Xigua's mansion.There are not many problems today. Liu Xigua greeted him about the happy Mid-Autumn Festival, told him about the official banquet, and then sent him some festive things.There are half a catty of meat, a fish, and a few eggs. Badaoying doesn't have much supplies now. At least in Ning Yi's understanding, Liu Xigua is also very frugal. He has meat and eggs, which is quite generous.

He took things in the warehouse, and when he passed a courtyard on the side, he suddenly heard a voice: "Qin Huai, chess friend." The meat in Ning Yi's hand fell to the ground, and when he turned his head, it was the door of a room next to him. A crack was opened, and someone was talking there.He took a breath, and looked back when he lowered his head to pick up the meat. Perhaps because everyone passed the post today, there was a short blank space in this small courtyard.He has joined the Ba Dao Battalion now, and Ah Chang, Ah Ming and others who would follow him before, can no longer follow like that at this time, but the Ba Dao Battalion has always been a relatively elite team in the rebel army, and this person should not be one of them people, but they don't know how they got in.

When he squatted down, he only heard the man say: "There is no one for the time being, you can talk, I have heard of people, and I am ordered to rescue Mr. Ning."

It's not that Ning Yi didn't think that people would be sent outside, but if the other party chooses to contact him in the small courtyard where Ning Yi lives or on the street, it will be very dangerous. Although it is risky at this time, Ning Yi is somewhat relieved Tone, thoughts turned sharply: "Impossible for the time being, how many people know me."

"The superior has strictly ordered that this matter must be done personally, and the young master's situation must not be endangered by mistakes, so for the time being, only the next person will know."

This is probably the behavior of veterans like Qin Lao or Kang Xian. Ning Yi finally felt relieved: "Secret it, hold back, and contact me at least one month later." He finished speaking softly and left quickly.

It is a good thing to be contacted and rescued by someone, but it is also a bad thing.The last time he planned to arrest Fang Qifo and others, the fact that a spy leaked himself when he was caught is still fresh in his memory, but this time it seems more or less reliable.It's just that the circle he has been in contact with recently is not big, and he hasn't really integrated into this Hangzhou. It is impossible for the other party to rescue him, and the danger of contact is extremely great.

To deal with this, in the next month, he will start to go out, expand the circle of contact with others, and then muddy the water a little...
