Chapter 375 Female Military Advisor
Seeing Zhou Ziqi and Xie Yingfeng looking over, Wei Ling knocked on the table calmly and said, "I'll tell you when I have some idea."
"Okay." Xie Yingfeng and Zhou Ziqi didn't care and didn't ask any more questions. After all, if Wei Ling felt that he could tell them something, he would definitely tell them.
Before, Xie Yingfeng asked Su Jixiang to help delay Zhou Chengjun for one night just to wait for Wei Ling's investigation booklet.
Before Zhou Chengjun came to Mangcheng, Wei Ling's spies in the capital already knew who was coming, so they investigated the background of these people and found that Zhang Peng, Zhou Chengjun's subordinate, was capable, so they followed up on him.
After checking, it turned out that there was indeed a problem.
It turned out that Zhang Peng was a secret agent planted by Prince Chenliu in the capital.
It just takes some time for the evidence to be transmitted back to Mangcheng, and Zhou Chengjun happened to be stuck at this time point.
After Zhang Peng's true colors were exposed by Wei Ling, Zhou Chengjun has now secretly detained him.
There must be more than one secret agent left by the Prince of Chenliu in the capital. Now that Zhang Peng has been arrested, as long as Zhou Chengjun brings this person back to the capital, Mangcheng will be quiet for a while.
After all, eradicating the secret line of Prince Chenliu in the capital is much more important than weakening Wei Ling.
Emperor Longchang was able to clearly distinguish between priorities.
Therefore, this move could buy Mangcheng at least one year, and at most two to three years of breathing time.
Wei Ling wanted to take this opportunity to find the so-called treasure mentioned by the deposed emperor whom he had beheaded.
Although Su Jixiang can make a lot of money here, if he really wants to find a job in the future, I am afraid that the money he earns will not be enough.
Xie Yingfeng and Zhou Ziqi talked for a while in Wei Ling, and then Xie Yingfeng said goodbye and went to the government office.
He was detained for two days, and a lot of things piled up in the government office.
Zhou Ziqi went back to do his experiment.
The things Su Jixiang gave him made him discover a new world, and every day was very fulfilling. If Su Jixiang hadn't called him to save people, he wouldn't want to go anywhere!
Wei Ling sent these people away and returned to his general's mansion.
"Madam!" Seeing that Su Jixiang had just returned, Wei Ling took two steps at a time and went to greet her.
Today he spoke a little loudly to Su Jixiang in front of outsiders, and this time he came to apologize.
"You also know that we have to put on a show today." Wei Ling looked at Su Jixiang a little nervously.
Although the news of his discord with Su Jixiang had spread, this was the first time he scolded Su Jixiang in front of others.
"Okay, don't mention this anymore." Su Jixiang knew what Wei Ling was going to say, and quickly waved his hand. "It will be fine once the news gets out."
Wei Ling then smiled, "Madam, I understand."
"Has Lord Zhou resolved it?" Su Jixiang asked.
"Basically, that's it." Wei Ling nodded, "It depends on how brave he is!"
"Okay. As long as he doesn't go against us anymore." Su Jixiang said with a smile.
"Well, probably not for the time being. After all, Zhang Peng is his subordinate, and he is also the secret agent left by Prince Chenliu in the capital. If he does not do things according to our wishes, we will bring this matter to His Majesty, and he will be implicated. Do you think he is really successful at a young age?" Wei Ling snorted and laughed. "There is a lot of intrigue in the Censorate. Many of those people don't like Zhou Chengjun. If these people catch Zhou Chengjun's tail and make a fuss, I'm afraid Zhou Chengjun will be abandoned by the Zhou family. He knows how serious the consequences are. After weighing the two options, he will definitely stand on our side temporarily. As for the future, it depends on my strength!" After Wei Ling finished speaking, he gently put his arms around Su Jixiang's shoulders and kissed her hair.
"Ma'am," he whispered.
Su Jixiang raised his eyes.
"If your husband really goes against them, will you be afraid?" Wei Ling asked softly.
"Is there really enough room for you over there?" Su Jixiang asked back.
Her eyes were clear and bright, like the shining stars in the dark night. "Now there is the Prince of Chenliu who is eyeing you covetously, and he is already trying to weaken you. If the Prince of Chenliu is weakened in the future, do you think His Majesty will still tolerate you? I am afraid that we will follow the old path of the Duke's Mansion!"
"Madam, do you think so too?" Wei Ling's eyes were filled with surprise and joy, and he held Su Jixiang's hand a little tighter.
"Yes." Su Jixiang said, "Although the old saying goes that when enemies come, we must stop them with soldiers and when floods come, we must block them with earth, but this is a very passive defense, and the best defense is offense! I love a peaceful and quiet life, but there must be someone who wants to destroy it, and I also know how to fight! We can't go back to the old path of the Duke's Mansion. It is not a good style and tradition to accept adversity!"
"Madam!" Wei Ling picked up Su Jixiang and turned her around a few times. "I was always afraid that you would think I was too ambitious. Now I know that you feel the same way as I do. Don't worry, I will never let us follow the old path of the Duke's Mansion. I will tolerate Emperor Longchang again. If he continues to torment us and prevent us from living a good life, then I will make sure that he does not live a good life in the capital!"
"Look at what I have done. I am just preparing for a rainy day." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "I want the Black Tiger Army to continue to grow and develop! I want the people of Mangcheng to be grateful to you and think that you are the savior of the entire Mangcheng! I also want to develop the entire Mangcheng into your rear base."
"I know!" Wei Ling nodded.
"The land in Mangcheng is fertile, and it's a bit of a waste to continue planting in the old way." Su Jixiang said, "I'll ask you to find some veterans in the army who are good at farming. They have already come up with a feasible planting plan to maximize the utilization of this land!"
"Yeah." Wei Ling nodded.
He is indeed good at fighting, but his considerations in these aspects are indeed not as detailed as Su Jixiang's.
"I have also asked someone to calculate. If we follow our plan, even if Emperor Longchang cuts off your food and grass in the future, the fields in our Mangcheng will be enough to supply all our troops." Su Jixiang said confidently. "So you won't have any worries!"
"I understand! Madam is truly my military advisor!" Wei Ling praised.
"Then ask Xie Yingfeng to give me his salary!" Su Jixiang said jokingly, "He should stop being a military advisor and be a governor!"
"I think it's okay!" Wei Ling was stunned for a moment, then laughed!
"That's enough! Stop talking nonsense here!" Su Jixiang was so amused that he laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "I can't do what Xie Yingfeng did. I can only give you some advice behind the scenes!"
