LRAB Chapter 261
Chapter 261
Fortunately, this person is Lao Chu.
Otherwise, Chen Jing'an would have planned to surrender to the Song Dynasty.
Lao Chu has dealt with Chen Jing'an in prison for more than ten years and knows Chen Jing'an's character.
This guy is a typical expert in human relations.
If he can go through the back door, he will never go through the front door. He never knows what face is, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is always a decent person.
It is precisely because of this.
Lao Chu dared to put the important task of guarding the south on him.
The reason is simple. People who can be tied by interests are far more reliable than verbal loyalty.
Old Chu said, "The ancestor of the Murong Immortal Clan died a few years ago, and Gusu County is no longer capable of taking on the responsibilities of a large county. Your Qinghe County is just the opposite. It annexed 20 counties from Changping County a while ago, and now has 33 counties."
"I will take the initiative and take 7 more counties from Changping County for you, making a total of 40 counties, which is just right for you to be promoted to a large county."
When Chen Jing'an heard this, he was immediately moved.
But he still pretended to be worried, and said in a teasing tone: "Changping County is now the territory of the Black Demon Cult. Old Chu, you are so biased, the Black Demon Cult will not cause trouble to me, right?"
"That's what the Black Demon Cult owes me."
Old Chu's eyes flickered: "In a few days, I will go to Lanling County in person to take care of this for you. After the promotion to a large county, the Qinghe Hundred Households will be promoted to a Thousand Households, and the Pingnan Army will also deploy a garrison in the southernmost part of your Qinghe County."
"If you are willing, I can even give you the military formation."
Hearing this, Chen Jing'an was immediately moved.
But he knew the difference between public and private affairs.
Since this military formation is an additional reward, it also means that there will be additional quotes.
"What do you need, Old Chu?"
Old Chu smiled and uttered four words: "Mechanical Suzaku."
"The Mechanical Suzaku has not yet grown its wings. Although it can still be used, I hope you can make up for it for me. In return, I can open up not only my Daqian's unique military formation, but also other second-level inheritances to you."
After that, he threw out a jade slip from his sleeve.
This jade slip records the inheritance catalog of the Daqian royal family, and Chen Jingan can weigh it himself.
To be honest, Chen Jingan personally handled the manipulation and verification of the four parts of the Mechanical Suzaku.
He actually has mastered a considerable part of the operating principles of the Mechanical Suzaku.
As long as you are willing to spend time to overcome difficulties, it is not impossible to complete the remaining left and right wings by yourself.
But this is a bad plan.
If possible, Chen Jingan is more inclined to let Fang Run agree to take things out in exchange.
Then, the two of them share the inheritance traded by the Daqian royal family.
This is the most ideal result.
After all, Chen Jingan still wanted to cooperate with Fang Run more in the future, and didn't want to ruin his reputation because of this little benefit.
It's hard to establish mutual trust with a monk of Gou Dao.
If they really can't reach an agreement.
Then Chen Jingan will improve the follow-up of the mechanism Suzaku himself and hold it in his hand as a bargaining chip.
When he needs to improve Lao Chu's favor one day, he can offer this thing.
When that time comes, his friendship with Fang Run will have to give way.
Then, the two discussed other details.
For example, the ownership of the Qianhu Suo in Qinghe County.
The difference between the Baihu Suo and the Qianhu Suo is not just the size of the specifications, but also the further improvement of its internal.
It can be said that-
A complete Qianhu Suo is a small Beijing Demon Suppression Department.
Not only does it have more supporting facilities and institutions, it even has its own small prison.
Chen Jingan has already left the capital.
But he didn't mind reminiscing about Qinghe County again.
For example, he would be the master of Qianhu Suo, and he would handle all the affairs of Qianhu Suo, and in fact become a frontier official independent of the Beijing Demon Suppression Department.
This matter is not easy to say directly in front of Yuan.
Therefore, Chen Jing'an chose to express his thoughts through Lao Chu.
Lao Chu nodded: "You will concurrently serve as the Qianhu of Qinghe Qianhu Suo. As for the little warden, I won't make it difficult for you."
"You can try it yourself to see if you can persuade the warden to go with you. As long as the other party agrees, I will approve it, and I don't have to find a stranger to annoy you."
Chen Jing'an happily clasped his hands: "The one who knows me is Lao Chu!"
...
About who to take away.
Chen Jing'an already has an idea. Their warden is basically a group of two people, so the success rate is the highest if two people dig at the same time.
And the people he has the deepest friendship with are Lao Niu and Lao Ma, as well as Lao Zhang and Lao Li.
Either of these two pairs can ensure the smooth operation of the small prison. In the future, when Chen Jingan is feasting, he doesn't have to worry about someone deliberately blocking him.Scratching.
Next, Chen Jing'an first found Lao Niu and Lao Ma.
He told them that he was going to leave and invited them.
Lao Niu showed some interest.
However, Lao Ma seemed a little entangled and finally refused.
"Sorry, Lao Chen, my family took advantage of the chaos in the capital and a large number of people fled, so we were able to encircle a piece of land. Next, I want to focus more on the family and strive to develop my Ma family into a fairy clan in Beijing as soon as possible."
Chen Jing'an was slightly surprised that Lao Ma, who was so lazy, was actually pushed to make progress.
It seems that the aftermath of the chaos in the capital is bigger than he imagined.
He expressed his blessing: "Old Ma will also be the leader of the immortal clan in the future. It just so happens that I have some experience in running the immortal clan. I will write a summary for you before I leave."
Old Ma was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you very much, Old Chen. I was not able to help you, but I have to trouble you. I am really ashamed."
"Don't be ashamed." Chen Jing'an smiled: "I left by myself, but there are still a pair of children left in the capital. Old Ma and Lao Niu, if something happens to my nephew and niece, you uncles can't stand idly by."
Old Ma immediately expressed his opinion and patted his chest: "Just leave it to me!"
...
Immediately afterwards, Chen Jing'an found Lao Zhang and Lao Li again.
This time it was much smoother.
The two looked at each other, and finally Lao Li spoke.
"It just so happens that I'm a little bored staying in the capital, so why not stay at your place, Old Chen. However, I have to say something in advance to avoid unpleasantness in the future."
Chen Jing'an readily agreed: "You can speak directly, I have ears that listen to you."
Old Li nodded and added: "Old Zhang and I are only responsible for watching over the prison for you. We will not be involved in other matters of your Qinghe County. Moreover, if one day the Tianji hexagram shows an ominous sign, we may leave without saying goodbye."
"This needs to be made clear to you in advance."
Chen Jing'an agreed without hesitation.
What Old Zhang and Old Li said was all understandable.
After all, he didn't have such a big face to let two children of a big family from the Yuanying power risk their lives for him.
Another purpose of building a good relationship with the two of them.
That is, in the future, he can use them as a hub to pave the way for himself to go to the Yuanying country "Da Tang" in advance.
