Chapter 41 Taste

"The master wants to see you."

Zheng Wu walked over at this time, said a word, turned and left.

Ying Yi paused, sighed in his heart, and said to Sun Xiucai, Zhou Li, Lian Biao, and Zhu Bingkun: "I'm going to see the county magistrate. You organize the training first. Don't neglect."

"yes."

Ying Yi hesitated in his heart, but his footsteps did not stop, and he soon arrived at the cave where Zheng Yunzhi lived.

Uncle Huai was standing outside the cave. Seeing Ying Yi coming, he nodded to him: "Go in."

Ying Yi arched his hands, opened the curtain at the entrance of the cave and walked in.

In the small separate study room, Zheng Yunzhi sat quietly on the stone pier with his back to Ying Yi.

"The County Lord."

Ying Yi's voice was extremely deep, and he was already prepared to be yelled at by Zheng Yunzhi.

But to Ying Yi's expectation, Zheng Yunzhi did not scold him. Zheng Yunzhi turned around, looked at Ying Yi intently for a while, then rolled her sleeves and said, "Sit down."

Ying Yi sat down slowly: "The County Lord..."

Zheng Yunzhi waved her hand and said with some self-deprecation: "I pride myself on being discerning, but after all, I misjudged you."

Ying Yi shook his head: "Then what kind of person am I in the eyes of the county magistrate?"

Before Zheng Yunzhi could speak, Ying Yi said: "A person who is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the Emperor? A person who is deliberately ambitious? A reckless and ignorant person?"

Zheng Yunzhi laughed, a little pale: "Actually, I was too hasty and entrusted this important matter to your hands."

Ying Yi shook his head again: "It's not that the county magistrate is careless. After all, the county magistrate does not trust me deeply. It's just that the county magistrate believes that in the world of the Ming Dynasty, people should naturally be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and I should not be an exception. The county magistrate I am in Ye County, and I am in a difficult situation, but there is no one to help me. So I was used, so the county magistrate now regrets it."

He looked at Zheng Yunzhi with a very sincere expression: "The Ming Dynasty was great. Emperor Hongwu expelled the Tartars and restored the Han Dynasty's clothes and showed pity on the people. I have always respected him extremely. Chengzu made the Ming Dynasty powerful overseas and brought all nations to come to the dynasty. His achievements Engraved in the history of Qing Dynasty. But now it is not Hongwu or Yongle, but Chongzhen Dynasty. County Lord, you are a scholar and a wise man. I believe you can see the end of the dynasty..."

"shut up!"

Zheng Yunzhi's breathing was rapid and her voice was stern: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Ying Yi shook his head and said: "Whether I am talking nonsense or not, the county magistrate knows very well. Now in the Ming Dynasty, there are Tatars looking at you outside, there are bandits everywhere inside, and there are natural and man-made disasters year after year. What else is there to say? The county magistrate organized this I know what the purpose of a troop of troops is. But I don’t want to. What is Zuo Liangyu? Success in suppressing thieves? It doesn’t exist.”

Zheng Yunzhi's eyes turned red: "Shut up!"

Ying Yi laughed: "I just don't want to sacrifice my life for the invisible future, I don't want to be ordered by Zuo Liangyu and his like, I don't want to be tricked by him, and I don't want to be a slave of the Tatars. Therefore, the county Zun, I did it. How many people in the world can fight? So what if they can fight? Is Sun Chuanting good? Is Lu Xiangsheng good? What is going on with them? The county Zun knows better than me. More of them are Zuo A thief like Liangyu. Suppressing thieves? Success? Doesn't exist. With the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, failure is inevitable. So I plan to do it myself."

He stood up and said, "Until the battle against thieves has settled, County Lord, you cannot leave the Crescent Valley."

Ying Yi turned around and caught a glimpse of a few pairs of frightened eyes behind the curtain of the cubicle next to him. He couldn't help but paused and said, "Your Majesty, I respect you very much. But please forgive me for being rude this time."

Zheng Yunzhi watched Ying Yi leave with a pale face, and was silent for a long time.

The wives, concubines, and children came out of the room, and they all looked at him in fear. The sobbing of several maids in the room made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Let’s talk about hating Ying Yi, yes. But when it comes to killing quickly, it doesn't seem to happen. On the contrary, I felt a little more relaxed in my heart.

He stretched out his hands, held his wife and children in his arms, and sighed quietly.

After walking out of the cave, Ying Yi stood outside the door for a while and said to the silent Uncle Huai, "Uncle Huai, I will arrange some people to serve the county magistrate."

Uncle Huai nodded quietly.

Of course he knew what Ying Yi meant. But it's necessary. No matter who you put it on, it's the same. And Ying Yi just asked someone to put him under house arrest. If he was a ruthless and ruthless person, he would probably have to kill him with a butcher's knife.

Not far away, Zheng Wu and the others watched silently until Ying Yi left.

Uncle Huai walked over and said, "Maybe it's a good thing for the master."

Zheng Wu nodded silently. The other two groaned.

There are so many people in the Crescent Valley but little land, so the training of the army is really difficult. It is difficult to carry out, and it also occupies a valley and cannot be cultivated. Ying Yi has long been concerned about this. The mountains are not a good place to train the army. He plans to take the army out as soon as possible and train in Xiaowangzhuang or some nearby places. At the same time, he will try to get some food from the ruins of Ye County early and spy on the changes in the war situation.

A lot has happened in the past two days. It seems like a long time has passed, but in fact it has only happened in the blink of an eye.

Now Hao Yaoqi's army doesn't know what's going on with Zhao Qianhu. According to Ying Yi's original calculation, Huguang soldiers should soon arrive in this area. And he asked Yuan Tong to see the intruder, which would definitely attract the intruder's troops.

Two million taels of silver, this is a piece of fat.

Therefore, there must be a melee near Ye County.

Thinking in his mind, Ying Yi came to the valley where the army was training. I heard the scholar's voice from a distance.

"Your military pay and the food you eat are all given by Master Ying Yi! Please remember it firmly!"

"Master Ying is unparalleled in bravery and is an opponent that can't be beaten by any thieves. I think back then..."

Ying Yi stood for a long time, listening to the scholar's praise and couldn't help but smile.

This is for him to brand this army!

Ying Yi let out a long breath, and a surge of heat surged out of his heart, which he could hardly suppress.

"This army is mine now, haha... What a trick of fate!"

Ying Yi strode over. When Sun Xiucai saw him coming, he bowed and said, "Sir!"

Ying Yi was startled, his body slowed down, the corners of his mouth moved, and finally he said: "Get up."

He is already the superior. Sun Xiucai is building momentum for him!

Sun Xiucai straightened up, his face flushed. Ying Yi nodded to him, facing a pair of eyes that were different from before. The further he walked, the more energetic he became. His eyes swept over them, and their heads lowered, not daring to look at him.

A feeling of being in control of everything came to my mind.

"This taste... is really unforgettable..."

Ying Yi thought in his heart and said loudly: "Since they are my soldiers, they are all my brothers. I, Ying Yi... will never let you down!"

"Train well, don't neglect it!"

Temporarily leaving all training matters to Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun, Ying Yi called Sun Xiucai and Lian Biao aside.
