As a bodyguard, I am also unparalleled in the world

The rebellion of Dong Ting Qing Wang, Jing Lie's sword pointed, the clouds moved in all directions, and the blood rained.In the end, the mountains and rivers were at dusk, and the dragon was the king.

Everyone in the world knows that after King Qing's rebellion was pacified, and after the purge, many young people were employed in the Dongting court because of the lack of talents.

Therefore, in the eyes of many "savvy people", Jing Lie is eager for quick success and quick profit. Although he has great power, he must be short-handed in employing people. .

So, actually?If you ask Jing Lie, or if His Majesty Rong Yun is short of people, I believe that all of Rong Yun's subjects will rush to answer: "Need!"

Of course, the reason for this "lack" is basically different from the conclusions of those "sighted people".The reason why His Majesty Rong Yun is short of people is actually mainly because of his "flaws" and his background.

With Situ Feng, the right minister who understands human nature and knows how to use people well, it is not a problem to recruit talents quickly and silently. The problem is His Majesty Rong Yun himself - he is too efficient. For the time being, no number of people seems to be enough He uses.On the other hand, Rong Yun's special background made some of Dong Ting's official duties temporarily only be performed by a few specific people.

Therefore, the answer can only be "missing".

Cold Light Camp·Barrack Room——

In the dim yellow flickering fire, Rong Yun was dressed in simple black clothes of a guard, sitting on the edge of the bed, lowering his head slightly, looking intently at the silk scroll in his hand, from time to time, either asking for details, or making decisions on business.Zhuang Yi leaned casually beside Rong Yun, holding a charcoal pencil in her right hand hanging on the paper beside her, responding to the words of her friend and lord.At this moment, Yin Zhaoyun has consciously stood back to guard the door, quietly watching the conversation between the two.

All kinds of farmland, water conservancy, trade, animal husbandry, festivals, imperial examinations, law and order, suppression of bandits, expansion of borders...

"Afeng wants to be an au pair?" Rong Yun asked Zhuang Yi.

Rong Yun is still very clear about his own Shangshu.Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is indeed talented, but his hands and feet are a little dirty. Usually, such a person just needs to stare at him, and it will be convenient to use.Situ Feng naturally understood this truth, so Rong Yun was a little puzzled when he suddenly wanted to change people.

"He couldn't take it anymore. Your Majesty, you know that Situ is not good at science. He actually spends time staring at the Ministry of Industry. Usually, Situ doesn't mind. Recently... um, he's busy. Situ doesn't have time for the Ministry of Science and Engineering, so he simply doesn't ask for it. Just, but please don’t worry. You’ve also read the latest record from the Ministry of Industry, right? Situ doesn’t have time to check it out.” Although Zhuang Yi looked unserious, she conveyed it meticulously.

Rong Yun nodded to express his understanding. Zhuang Yi thought that Rong Yun would directly agree, but unexpectedly, Rong Yun recited the record from the Ministry of Industry: "Yuliang River Embankment, three hundred craftsmen, three thousand servants, and a quota for labor and materials. There are [-] square meters of earth and rock, and a thousand stones of millet."

Zhuang Yi was a little confused, so she saw Rong Yun turn to look at Yin Zhaoyun.

Yin Zhaoyun looked at his friend and was silent for a moment. Finally, a slight smile appeared on his cold and beautiful face, and there seemed to be helplessness in his eyes.

After receiving the "agreement", Rong Yun smiled and asked: "Yuliang, what does Zhao Yun think of the manpower and materials in the upper reaches of the embankment?"

"..." Zhuang Yi.no...

"Two percent of soil and rock." Yin Zhaoyun's voice was cold, concise and sure.

"Thank you Zhaoyun. —Okay, let's tell Afeng." The second half of the sentence, Rong Yun said to Zhuang Yi.

"..." Zhuang Yi.

"Your Majesty." A moment later, Zhuang Yi called out very seriously.

"Huh?" Rong Yun was looking down at the silk scroll.

"I have a question, Your Majesty, please clarify."

"Excuse me, A-Xian." Still watching.

"Your Majesty, what is Mr. Yin best at, rhythm? Killing people? Or...?"

"Humanistic geography, science and mathematics... A Xian, why don't you ask Zhao Yun directly." After Rong Yun finished speaking very naturally, he realized something and looked up at Zhuang Yi.

"..." Zhuang Yi.This idiot is really very clear.Should he say that a certain person really has a bright eye and an extraordinary shot?He never thought that Yin Zhaoyun would be such a top-notch guy... It seems that this guy likes to run away from home, which is very rewarding.

Zhuang Yi laughed dangerously.Is it fun playing with him?Well, he knew that the two of them definitely didn't do it on purpose, one cherished words like gold, and the other... Forget it, don't mention it.

Zhuang Yi looked at Yin Zhaoyun.

Yin Zhaoyun nodded slightly to Zhuang Yi.

"Cough..." Well, he was very happy, although he was a little speechless.Thinking of this, Zhuang Yi immediately showed an "evil" smile to Yin Zhaoyun, which basically meant: Very good, brother, just wait.

"..." Yin Zhaoyun.

Rong Yun didn't notice the interaction between his friends, he was seriously handling official business.

"Afeng is really busy recently...?" Rong Yun confirmed to Zhuang Yi.

"Obviously." Would a normal person ask such a question?

"If I want him to thoroughly investigate the domestic officials again, will he be able to come over?" After the purge of King Qing's Rebellion, there shouldn't be much left.Rong Yun himself feels that the number is still within the acceptable range.

"...Please believe what I say. In the worst case, that guy with a twisted personality will come and beat you up." The tyrant is so cruel, and Zhuang Yi, in a rare way, stood up for Situ Feng.

"..." Rong Yun frowned.

"..." Zhuang Yi.This expression, this atmosphere...he had an ominous premonition.

"Recently, some generals in Mingxu's army have started calling for battle." Rong Yun browsed the silk scroll, seemingly changing an unrelated topic, "...the Pingguo, Liguo, Ceguo, etc. on the border, exist in name only, every year At the end of the year, there are too many national rituals, and they are gone. Let them change the county, let them reduce Situ's official duties, and spare time to thoroughly investigate officials."

Sure enough, it started sending.As always, Rong Yun's methods are effective enough, but——

"Your Majesty, if you do this, I'm afraid it will be true." Zhuang Yi remonstrated responsibly.

"'Jing Lie' is a tyrant, right?" Rong Yun said with some helplessness.

"However, if all these small countries defect to Emperor Hong..."

"Emperor Hong is not easy to deal with," Rong Yun pondered, "Smart people don't seek skins from tigers, they seek skins from tigers... just right, catch them all."

"Weichen understands."

"Next, 'At the junction of Xihong, half of Anbu's staff is missing'?"

"Yes." Zhuang Yi sat up straight.If you want to pursue it, it is his dereliction of duty, although this dereliction of duty is a cause of force majeure.

Rong Yun smiled to appease his friend, paused, and then continued to ask: "...Did King Qing do it?"

"Very likely. After all, it has been confirmed that King Qing's people are active at the junction of Xihong, and King Qing has been in charge of intelligence for many years, and the old habits of Anbu have not had time to change. King Qing can speculate that some Anbu actions are normal, and the minister ordered to respond quickly. , or folded in half." Zhuang Yi replied.

"Where is Xihong, how much do you know about this?"

"I don't know for now."

"Check it out." Find out how much Xihong knows about Dongting Anbu's disappearance.

"Yes." Zhuang Yi didn't complain about the workload this time, and accepted the task obediently.

"Ah Xian..." Rong Yun noticed that his friend seemed to be blaming himself, so he called softly.

Zhuang Yi raised her head and looked at her friend and master.

"Ah Xian, are you going to check it yourself?" Rong Yun said in a gentle voice.

"...What does His Majesty mean?"

"It's good to report to the official, and it should be found out soon." Rong Yun smiled.

"..." Zhuang Yi.

What?Dongting Anbu is missing, report to the official?Report to Xihong's official? ... It's funny.

...However, this is indeed a good way, a very "cloudy" way.

Specially giving him ideas to reduce official duties...Rong Yun, this can be regarded as comforting him.Zhuang Yi suddenly realized that she was blaming herself, and this was Rong Yun's gentleness and consideration, although someone's comfort was as unreliable as ever.

Turning her head and meeting Yin Zhaoyun's eyes, Zhuang Yi smiled wryly.

……

Putting the silk scroll aside, Rong Yun asked for the charcoal and paper in Zhuang Yi's hands, and said while writing: "At present, is it still difficult to intentionally pass the news to father's intelligence network?"

"Yes, Prince Lie's intelligence network is very tight. Unless you clearly cooperate with him, there is no way out in the short term. Of course, it is impossible..." After the incident with Princess Duanhe, asking Prince Lie to trust Dong Ting, I'm afraid It will take more time. In addition, someone is waiting to catch him, "... Emperor Hong is really troublesome." Zhuang Yi said.

Hongdi Rong Cheng was originally one of Rong Yun's goals. Although the final decision on how to deal with it has not yet been decided, at least we must ensure that Rong Cheng is "not a trouble".Looking at it now, Rong Cheng might not just be troublesome.

"Father finally found out today that at the border of Xihong, King Qing's troops are robbing a large number of supplies, three days later than me, and he said it in Yunhuaxuan Guojiu Wei Siye..." Rong Yun frowned slightly, "This There is no need to find a way to reveal it on purpose.”

Zhuang Yi nodded to express her understanding, but Rong Yun suddenly fell silent thoughtfully, and the charcoal pencil in her hand also stopped writing.

Zhuang Yi glanced at the silk scroll next to him, thinking that Rong Yun had thought of the silk scroll, and was a little worried about the news that "King Qing might send decent people to assassinate Prince Lie", and asked: "King Qing sent a large number of martial arts masters, suspected to intend to kill Prince Lie." Assassinate Prince Lie, does His Majesty have any special instructions for this?"

"No, it's fine as usual, and I'll take care of the rest." Still thinking about something, Rong Yun's answer was straightforward, but obviously, Zhuang Yi's problem was not the focus of his concern.

Realizing that she was wrong, Zhuang Yi was stunned for a moment, but seeing Rong Yun still in deep thought, she couldn't help feeling a bit dignified—Rong Yun hadn't shown such an expression for a long time, what exactly was he thinking? !

After a long while, Rong Yun finally spoke, and his gentle voice was tinged with worry: "Perhaps... assassins are not the most troublesome ones, they will unite with Xihong and the heart-stimulating Gu master to take action against my Anbu at the border." , and, looting supplies... Ah Xian, King Qing's activities are too frequent."

"Wait, you said King Qing colluded with the heart-stealing Gu master?" Zhuang Yi remembered that Rong Yun had said it before the break last night.

Rong Yun nodded: "Yes. At that time, when the country arrived at the border, under the arrangement of Situ Mingxu and you...the King Qing was allowed to escape, especially when King Qing passed the border without a sound. Only the heart-stealing Gu master has the ability to help with this."

Zhuang Yi thought about it and had to agree that this is indeed the most likely truth at present.Moreover, maybe only King Qing, who was driven to nowhere by Rong Yun, and who used all means to get revenge, who originally intended to destroy Dong Ting, dare to join forces with the heart-pulling Gu master.

Thinking of Wu Jue's all-pervasive and hard-to-defend, Zhuang Yi felt compelled to sigh King Qing's reckless courage and fearlessness of death. Of course, Shen Aotian might have been really pushed by someone's tricks, so he——cough, what? Jump over the wall.And the master of this heart-stealing Gu doesn't know what the background is, and how she got the heart-stealing Gu, but from the current point of view, her hand has already been stretched long enough, and her ambition is probably not small.

Wujue Gu technique does not need to go through food, even masters can spread Gu to others, so the identity of the Gu caster is generally unknown at all.Thinking of this, Zhuang Yi felt a little rejoiced, fortunately it was Rong Yun who personally took the initiative to dig out the information, otherwise the investigation of the heart-stealing Gu master would really be a needle in a haystack.

Did Rong Yun think of any key information about the heart-pulsing Gu master or King Qing, or some other conspiracy?

"Then what? What did you think of?" Zhuang Yi didn't believe that if it was just King Qing colluding with the heart-stealing Gu master, Rong Yun could be so dignified.

***

At this time, Zhuang Yi who asked this sentence did not know that the key point and conspiracy that Rong Yun thought of was actually far more serious than "dignified", but all of this was just the beginning.

Unpredictable catastrophe is being conceived in the intertwined space. When the arrow of the end of the world is shot, no one is spared, and the rise and fall will be destroyed...
