Chapter 535 Volume 5 All for a slap in the face

As the marching commander of Taohe County, Yuchi Jingde is still very responsible.

No matter how much he disagreed with Changsun Wuji, he had no complaints about Li Er's arrangements.

The reason why I came here quietly was because I wanted to keep an eye on Changsun Wuji for Li Er.

Don't forget, this guy also has a good habit of finding fault with others.

As long as he catches other people's mistakes, this guy will point them out without mercy. It is this good habit that makes Yuchi Jingde, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others have extremely good relations...

"Taohe company? Workshop?" After hearing the soldiers who came to inquire about the recent situation in Taohe County, Yuchi Jingde smiled and said, "This old fox Changsun Wuji is really capable of killing!"

Although he is a martial artist, he is not a reckless man.

In addition to taking credit and being arrogant and loving to expose others' shortcomings, his political mind is still very clear.

Don’t believe it, there was such an incident in the original history. It was said that Li Er and Tang Jian got into an argument while playing chess. Li Er immediately became furious and sent Tang Jian to Tanzhou.

Unexpectedly, even so, Li Er was still angry and said to Yuchi Jingde who was present at the time: "Tang Jian despises me and I want to kill him. You come to testify for me that his words offended me.

"

When Yuchi Jingde saw Li Er's anger, he knew that Li Er was being petty again, and he immediately agreed.

But when Li Er mentioned the matter again at court the next day, Yuchi Jingde kowtowed and said, "I really haven't heard of it."

Li Er asked many times, but Yuchi Jingde still did not change his story.

This made Li Er furious and smashed the jade trusses to the ground. However, all the officials at the meeting were present, and Li Er could not punish Yuchi Jingde for this, so he had to walk away.

In the end, after Li Er's anger subsided, the matter was settled. Tang Jian did not die in vain, and Yuchi Jingde even received a reward for it.

From this we can see that although Yuchi Jingde was a martial artist, he was not a reckless man.

So when he heard what his soldiers said, he immediately understood Changsun Wuji's plan.

He was not surprised by this. From their standpoint, there was only one person they were loyal to.

"General, should we send someone to inform the county governor now?" the soldier said, "After all, we have arrived and are about to take over the military camp..."

When Yuchi Jingde heard this, he smiled and said: "Do you think that old fox Changsun Wuji doesn't know that I'm here? Just wait, that old fox will definitely come to visit you in person before tomorrow."

Having said this, Yuchi Jingde shook his head and sighed, "I just obey them. I hate you to death, but before I kill you, my etiquette is not bad at all.

It feels like he is standing in front of you, persuading you affectionately, please go on your way.

Hypocrisy, what a fucking hypocrisy!”

Although he said this, Yuchi Jingde knew that this was the gap between him and Changsun Wuji and others.

At the governor's house, Changsun Wuji was chatting with Changsun Fu about Yuchi Jingde.

Not to mention, Yuchi Jingde guessed correctly. Before he set up camp, Changsun Wuji learned the news that he had arrived.

"Lang Jun, what is the profound meaning of Wu Guogong's move?" Changsun Fu asked.

Changsun Wuji shook his head disdainfully and said: "What deep meaning does this old man have? He just wants to catch my fault."

"It's really disgusting!" Changsun Fu said after hearing this, "I think he is a dignified Duke of Wu, but he relies on his own meager achievements to expose the shortcomings of others. How can he behave like a Duke of the state?"

Hearing what he said, Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Then you are wrong. Even I can't deny Yuchi Jingde's achievements.

Whether it was the founding of the Tang Dynasty or the ascension of His Majesty to the throne, Yuchi Jingde had made great military exploits. No one can deny this.

And the reason why he takes credit and exposes others' shortcomings is also a way for him to protect himself.

After all, his contribution is too great. If he can be harmonious with all the ministers again, what will your Majesty think?

This old man did it on purpose."

Having said this, Changsun Wuji smiled, very satisfied, "That's fine, I also need such an opponent. It is a good thing for both him and me.

Make arrangements, and I will go in person to welcome him to take office tomorrow."

The two of them are not enemies, not even political enemies.

But the tacit understanding between them is really hard to say.

As for why he didn't tell everyone at today's banquet that Yuchi Jingde had arrived, he certainly had a deep meaning.

Early the next morning, Changsun Wuji set off to the place where Yuchi Jingde temporarily camped outside the city.

"The general is really right." When Yuchi Jingde's soldiers saw Changsun Wuji coming, they also admired Yuchi Jingde.

After greeting Changsun Wuji respectfully, he turned around and informed Yuchi Jingde.

"He came to visit incognito, right?" Yuchi Jingde laughed.

"How did the general know?" The soldier was stunned. He was curious why he didn't see Changsun Wuji's guard of honor.

Yuchi Jingde also thought deeply about it last night, and immediately said: "This old fox seems to be here to check on me. Let's go and lead the way."

When Changsun Wuji saw Yuchi Jingde, he smiled with a smile on his face and said: "Brother Jingde has traveled thousands of miles to take office, why didn't you inform me in advance, so that I can help brother Jingde and wash away his dust, right?"

Hearing Changsun Wuji's hypocritical words, Yuchi Jingde resisted the urge to vomit and said: "How dare I bother my auxiliary brother? Didn't I come in a hurry just after the battle with Xue Yantuo? After all, it took me so long.

I am also afraid of failing His Majesty’s trust.”

Although behind the scenes, Yuchi Jingde despised this kind of behavior that did one thing in front of others and behind the other's back, but that was how it was in the officialdom. At that moment, Yuchi Jingde invited Changsun Wuji to his Chinese army tent and said with a smile: "Yesterday

I came in a hurry and missed entering the city, so I could only camp outside the city and make my auxiliary machine laugh."

"What the hell." Changsun Wuji said, "Brother Jingde travels day and night and arrives at starry night. He should be a role model for us."

After complimenting each other for a few words, Changsun Wuji got straight to the point.

"By the way, Brother Jingde should also know about the current situation in Chuihe County, right?"

Changsun Wuji had no doubt about this.

Yuchi Jingde didn't hide anything, and said in a low voice: "I understand a little bit. Speaking of which, my auxiliary machine brother has slacked off. It's spring now. I've been walking all the way, but I haven't seen any officials from various places supervising agriculture.

How could the county guard's auxiliary machine make such a mistake? Isn't it true that he has failed your Majesty's trust?"

Since Changsun Wuji is willing to treat him as a brother, Yuchi Jingde doesn't mind relying on his elders and showing off.

However, his words did not have any impact on Changsun Wuji.

This guy loves to expose people's mistakes every day.

At that moment, Changsun Wuji said: "Brother Jingde is right. Brother Jingde doesn't know the actual situation in Chuihe County. The land in Chuihe County is already barren. If we rely solely on..."

With that said, Changsun Wuji introduced the various situations in Shuihe County in detail.

After Yuchi Jingde heard this, he nodded and said: "It's not easy for me, my auxiliary machine. Indeed, if this Chuihe County doesn't find another way, it will really be difficult to achieve anything. I'm just a villain."

"No way, Brother Jingde is also worried about the people of Chuhe County." Changsun Wuji said, "By the way, what does Brother Jingde think of the opening of the Taohe store?"

This was the purpose of his coming here. Although he could guess Yuchi Jingde's attitude, he still needed to confirm it himself.

Yuchi Jingde pretended to think about it seriously, and then said after a while: "It is indeed a direction, but I also know that I am just a martial artist and have no experience in governing an army. Moreover, His Majesty sent me here just to deal with the affairs of the army.

It’s just things, I don’t dare to overstep my authority.”

Changsun Wuji just listened to what Yuchi Jingde said.

I dare not overstep my authority. What are you saying about me slacking off?

"Brother Jingde is being humble." Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "However, the opening of the Taohe business has affected the interests of the Ming Dynasty after all. I am also worried that the Ming Dynasty is not willing to accept it. I believe that Brother Jingde has also heard about the Chang'an underworld.

A tragedy, right?”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he pointed his finger at the Ming Dynasty.

Yuchi Jingde still didn't understand anything, so he immediately said: "If it is a commercial competition, then I can't do it. But if you want to use a knife or a gun, rest assured, auxiliary machine brother, as the marching director of Taohe County, I will definitely not do it.

Any petty person is allowed to offend our country."

Hearing what Yuchi Jingde said, Changsun Wuji immediately felt relieved. This was Yuchi Jingde's attitude.

…

On the other side, there is Riyue Mountain and Daming Palace.

Li Chengqian was walking on the way to the general prison when he saw Wu An running over in a hurry.

Seeing that it was him, Li Chengqian stopped and waited for a moment, because this guy usually wouldn't come to him if there was nothing important.

"Your Highness, there is news from Taohe County." Wu An ran over and said hurriedly, "The Duke of Qi hosted a banquet with officials from the two states at Changming Restaurant yesterday and decided..."

Since Changsun Wuji was discussing the matter at Changming Restaurant, he actually had no intention of hiding it from Li Chengqian, and as he expected, the news reached Li Chengqian's ears in an instant.

After hearing what Wu An said, Li Chengqian was a little surprised: "The action is fast enough."

"Your Highness, Duke Qi's move may have a huge impact on our Ming Dynasty workshop." Wu An said with some worry.

Nowadays, Daming's biggest income comes from its numerous workshops, but the Taohe business that Changsun Wuji is setting up in Taoyuan is just to cut off Hu Daming's merchants, isn't it?

From the standpoint of the Ming Dynasty, Changsun Wuji’s move was undoubtedly seeking death!
