Just as Jiang Mingyu and his party were struggling to move forward in the wind and snow.

Little did they know that in the Huang Mansion in Zhoucheng, a tall and tall man was quietly stepping into Huang Chaoran's reception room.

The man was wearing rough dark brown linen clothes on his upper body, and there were still unknown marks on the corners of his mouth. A greasy bamboo hat on his head covered his entire face, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes staring directly at Huang Chaoran.

The man bent down submissively, bowed to Huang Chaoran, and asked in a low and hoarse voice: "What are your orders, sir?"

Huang Chaoran looked him up and down and suddenly asked: "How have I, Huang, treated you over the years?"

The man's voice suddenly overflowed with gratitude: "If you hadn't saved me back then, I would have died long ago. You have been so kind to me, and I can't thank you enough."

Huang Chaoran sneered and said in a sinister tone: "Okay, today I will give you a chance to repay your kindness."

The man clasped his hands in his fists and said respectfully: "No matter what your command, I will not hesitate even if I have to go through fire and water."

Huang Chaoran then narrated the story of his dismissal in an elaborate manner, and finally laughed at himself: "Now I am just an ordinary citizen, please put away the word "sir". His tone was full of deep love for Jiang Mingyu. Hate.

The man listened quietly, his face hidden under the bamboo hat gradually becoming ferocious.

Finally, he said in a deep voice: "I will leave for Shang Mu immediately and chop Jiang Mingyu into minced meat to avenge you!" Every word was full of murderous intent.

Huang Chaoran said with a ferocious smile: "Don't forget that Liu Yifei. Without her, I wouldn't be in such a miserable state, so I'll kill her too!"

The man responded without hesitation: "Okay, I'll kill her too and cut off her roots!"

Huang Chaoran shook his head and said: "Don't kill her, take her back to the city, wait until I get tired of playing with her and sell her to Goulan, I will make her life worse than death!"

His tone was extremely cold, and there was a faint cold light like a poisonous snake in his eyes.

This terrible revenge plan is unfolding step by step in secret.

The man responded indifferently: "I'll set off now. I'll complete the mission soon and report back the good news. I'll take my leave."

Huang Chaoran narrowed his eyes and asked, "How do you plan to start?"

The man showed no expression. He just let out a sinister sneer and said in a low voice: "Murder and arson are my professional secrets. Please don't ask any further questions."

After saying that, he bowed respectfully to Huang Chaoran, turned around and disappeared into the blowing wind and snow.

Huang Chaoran smiled sinisterly and murmured to himself: "Jiang Mingyu, just enjoy your last days."

At the same time, Jiang Mingyu had arrived in Shangmu County. After sending Liu Yifei home, Liu Ximen learned the cause and effect and wanted to kneel down to Jiang Mingyu with gratitude.

Jiang Mingyu quickly helped Liu Ximen up, already considering him as his future wife and father-in-law.

Watching Jiang Mingyu leave, Liu Yifei, who was also exhausted, couldn't help but have a soft look in her eyes.

After Jiang Mingyu returned to the county government, he didn't bother to rest, and immediately summoned his confidant Wu Xiaoer who stayed behind to discuss military affairs.

Wu Xiaoer hurried over. When he heard that Jiang Mingyu wanted to recruit 50,000 troops immediately, he couldn't help frowning. His worry was palpable. He said stammeringly: "My lord, I'm afraid this won't work?"

"The business negotiated by the Governor has not yet been settled. We recruit troops and horses on such a large scale without authorization. How to solve the problem of military rations?"

"Once the supply of military pay is insufficient and the morale of the military is weakened, if a mutiny occurs, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Jiang Mingyu narrowed his eyes slightly and was silent, with a worried look on his face. After a while, he slowly said: "What you said makes sense. But with only the existing two or three thousand people, we can resist foreign enemies."

Iron hoof?"

"Even if I have 50,000 troops at hand now, I still need several months of training before I can go to the battlefield."

"If we delay any longer, Shang Mu will be in danger when foreign enemies invade!"

Wu Xiaoer looked Jiang Mingyu up and down, and said tentatively: "How about reducing the military salary by half first and making do with it? The people remember your kindness, so we can deal with it temporarily."

Jiang Mingyu shook his head decisively and said categorically: "Absolutely not, military affairs must be true to their word, and reducing pay without authorization will hurt the morale of the military!"

"My decision has been made. I will post a recruitment notice as soon as possible. I will recruit talents with favorable treatment and favorable treatment."

Wu Xiaoer was still uneasy: "What should we do about the military ration problem?"

Jiang Mingyu sighed softly: "I have enough money to barely survive for a month. If it doesn't work, I'll ask Zhuge Yu for help."

"The most important thing is that I firmly believe that the governor can sell coal."

Wu Xiaoer was confused: "How can you be so sure, sir?"

Jiang Mingyu smiled meaningfully: "Fine wine and delicacies will move people's hearts, and money will move people's hearts. The governor will be satisfied by then."

Wu Xiaoer was full of doubts, so he had to post the recruitment notice with full of questions...

Jiang Mingyu had just posted the recruitment notice, and within less than a meal, news of this major military mobilization quickly spread to every corner of Shangmu County.

"Why do you suddenly want to recruit an army of 50,000 people? What is this?" The people looked at each other and speculated one after another.

"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid we're about to start a war with foreigners!" A villager with a veteran background pointed out directly.

"Are you kidding me? How can we, with the shabby weapons we have in Shangmu County, fight against the foreign iron cavalry? Isn't it obvious that we are seeking death?" The young man who had seen the foreign iron cavalry disagreed.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the county, and everyone was worried and looking forward to it.

For the sake of generous military pay, groups of young people began to flock to the county town to sign up for the army from the next day.

At this time, Master Murong Yunhai, who was training new soldiers in the county, came quickly to see Jiang Mingyu and said nervously: "Sir, in just a few days, there have been nearly 20,000 new soldiers who have signed up for the army, and it is said that there are more

People are coming on the road. The current city defense camp can no longer accommodate them."

Jiang Mingyu frowned, and after pondering, he said decisively: "Immediately launch a city defense facility expansion plan and move all nearby villagers to other places to live!"

"At the same time, Tuxlow is summoned back to the city to assist in the training, and Li Goudan is summoned to work together to rectify the new recruits."

Murong Yunhai said worriedly: "Sir, we have very little military resources left."

Jiang Mingyu also sighed deeply: "It is indeed difficult, but we cannot let the soldiers spend the night in the open air. You said that the negotiations with the governor should be concluded soon, right?"

On a deserted hill a hundred miles outside Shangmu County, an extremely bloated middle-aged man with a greasy face was banging on the table to vent his anger. His eyes were bloodshot and he cursed fiercely: "A bunch of people are eating everything inside."

You are a piece of trash. It has taken you so long to find out the cause of death of the brothers on Xiaoying Mountain. What use are you doing?!"

At this moment, a thin man with a sallow complexion suddenly ran in outside the door. He gasped and exclaimed: "Brother, there is a serious situation! According to the brother we sent to investigate, kill Xiaoying."

The murderer of Brother Shan is the new imperial envoy Jiang Mingyu who has only been in office for two months!"

As soon as he heard Jiang Mingyu's name, the middle-aged man's thick brows immediately knitted together. His eyes were red, and he kicked the wooden table in front of him violently, shouting: "Whoever kills my brother will be with me."

We are irreconcilable!"

"All brothers immediately set off for Shangmu County. They must try to put Jiang Mingyu to death and avenge the sacrifice of the brothers!"

The thin man on the side saw this and hurriedly advised him: "Brother, think twice, we can't rush this matter. I heard that Jiang Mingyu has 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers under his command. We are afraid that we will die if we go."

The man's eyes were red, he glared at the minions and roared: "That's it? My brother died in vain? I will avenge this!"

The minion rolled his eyes and hurriedly whispered: "Brother, I have a clever plan. Maybe I can avenge my dead brother..."

After listening to the whispers of the minions, the anger on the middle-aged man's face softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me."

The minion quickly stood up, approached the man, turned his head and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, the subordinate took a step back, with a treacherous smile on his face, and said proudly: "In this way, Jiang Mingyu will definitely die, and brother, our revenge will be avenged."

"Even if the plan fails, we can still take advantage of it, escape unscathed, and then figure out countermeasures."

The middle-aged man was very satisfied after hearing this. He patted the man on the shoulder with his rough big hand and said with a smile: "Good boy, your trick is a good one. It seems that I will listen to your opinions more in the future!"
