"If you want to say that, I really want to find an opportunity to come to the capital for a while. The sister of the Shen family has never seen the concubine, but the concubine of the sister Bao has. I heard that the sister of the Lin family is also a Yasai. Diaochan Zhaojun's, I might as well go to pay a visit."

   Zhen Baochen is not a person who is not too timid, and now she is free from desires. Since she has not considered entering Feng's residence, she doesn't have so many taboos and worries. As long as she has Feng Ziying's trust and love, she doesn't care about everything else.

And through this period of contact and understanding, she felt more and more that Feng Ziying's temperament was different from other men. Other officials always thought carefully before doing things, and they were particularly worried about affecting their official career, but Feng Ziying was different. He doesn't care about things and rumors that obviously may have an impact or disadvantage.

  Before Zhen Baochen thought that Feng Ziying was pretending to be a big guy, but later found that Feng Ziying really didn't care. Even if he reminded him, he was not paying attention, or he was calm.

  That calmness and equanimity are really not something ordinary officials can have.

Since Feng Ziying is so free and easy, as a divorced woman, her identity is also his concubine, and everything about her depends entirely on his personal likes and dislikes. Those few people will not have too much intertwining, so why care so much?

   And she also felt that Feng Ziying didn't want to have too much intertwining with those in the house, which was exactly what Zhen Baochen wanted.

"It's up to you if you want to visit, and the same is true for Sister Feng. I still say the same thing, Baochen, you don't need to care too much about others, live your own life, and do things according to your own heart. Since you and I You are interested in the picture scrolls I drew, and I even think you have talent in this area, so why don't you just keep doing it freely?"

  Feng Ziying stood behind Zhen Baochen, wrapped her arms around Zhen Baochen's wasp waist, and smelled the fragrance from Zhen Baochen's temples, "I like your willful and bold temperament, there is no need to restrain yourself because of others."

"The concubine really believes in what the master said." Zhen Baochen smiled and put his head on Feng Ziying's shoulder, "Actually, the concubine has always felt like I was dreaming all this time. For a period of time, it seemed that I had experienced and seen more things than my concubine lived in the Ding family for eight years. Every day, my heart was full of pretense, and even in my dreams, I felt that there were all kinds of things, emerging one after another. Sometimes people live their whole life. What is it, isn't it just for fun? So this concubine feels that it is worth following the master for a lifetime, no matter what!"

These words touched Feng Ziying's heart. A person's life is a wonderful and comfortable life. What else do you want to do so much? The wonderful thing is that you think it is worth doing. So simple.

  He felt that he and Zhen Baochen wanted to be together on this point.

"Forget it, Baochen, go to Yangzhou with confidence. The servants from the Zhen family, or people from outside, you can trust, so choose one or two. After all, it's inconvenient for you to be a woman outside. One or two. Caring and reliable, no matter men or women, you can decide for yourself."

  Feng Ziying forgave Zhen Baochen, and Zhen Baochen was also moved to offer a kiss. Not any man can be so magnanimous, and still agree to choose someone in Zhen's family.

   Zhen Baochen took Zhen Baoyu to Yangzhou, and Feng Ziying would stay for a few more days.

   Mainly waiting for He Fengsheng, Fan Jingwen and Wang Yingxiong.

  He Fengsheng and Fan Jingwen served as magistrates of Xuzhou and Guangde respectively, while Wang Yingxiong was appointed as Tongzhi of Ningbo because of his outstanding performance in the Battle of Bozhou.

  The three of them have already gone south hand in hand, and they will first go to Nanjing to meet Gu Bingqian, Chai Ke and Yang Lian, which can be regarded as the conversation of the predecessors of this era.

  Xuzhou and Guangde are both under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili, and Gu Bingqian is the governor of Jiangnan. It is normal for the two of them to visit.

Wang Yingxiong served as Tongzhi of Ningbo. Ningbo belongs to Zhejiang. The theory has nothing to do with the governor of Jiangnan. In addition, Chai Ke and Yang Lian were also in Nanjing on behalf of the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so it was reasonable to come to visit.

Because the three of them were all coming from the south, Feng Ziying simply waited for them in Nanjing, especially Xuzhou, where He Fengsheng lived, close to Shandong, and the spread of white lotus was also prominent, Feng Ziying also wanted to explain to him, and Wang Yingxiong was appointed as the co-prefect of Ningbo, Feng Ziying also It should be reminded to strengthen coastal defense to prevent the Japanese pirates from making a comeback.

  The three of them arrived three days after Zhen Baochen left for Yangzhou.

   "You came here quickly enough. Have you gone to see Mr. Gu Ge, Chai Shilang, and Vice Minister Yang?"

"Tsk tsk, this mansion, Ziying, aren't you afraid that Mrs. Yang will give you a copy?" Wang Yingxiong looked at this mansion and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "The status of the imperial envoy is really extraordinary, and the little life is so comfortable. .”

"Hmph, Feixiong, I'm afraid that when you go to Ningbo, your life will be more comfortable than mine. The rich merchants in Ningbo are like a crucian carp crossing the river. When they come to the door, they will have to break your threshold. I am now Taking advantage of today for the time being, after you come, I should go north." Feng Ziying patted Wang Yingxiong's shoulder and said cheerfully.

   "Ziying, you are leaving, so soon?" Fan Jingwen asked in surprise, "It seems that Chai Shilang and Yang Fudu are going to wait for a while."

   "They have their jobs. I am the Minister of the Ministry of War. The military affairs are almost handled, so I should go back."

  Feng Ziying led the two into the flower hall, and Yu Chuaner brought out the tea.

   "What about the Northwest Army? What about your father?" Wang Yingxiong came from the Ministry of War and was most sensitive to this issue.

   "Fei Xiong, what news did you hear?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.

   "I heard that Sun Shilang suggested to the court that your father should be the governor of Xuanda and the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and that Ma Chengxun should be transferred to the chief soldier of Yulin." Wang Yingxiong didn't hide it either.

"Oh? What about He Shixian, who will take over as the commander-in-chief of Gan Ning? What about Qi Bingzhong?" Feng Ziying frowned. The two towns of Ningxia, Gansu merged. Qi Bingzhong should be a very suitable candidate. Ma Chengxun went to Yulin. Where can He Shixian go? Can go to Gan Ning after the merger, the question is where will Qi Bingzhong go?

   "Well, He Shixian will take over as the commander-in-chief of Gan Ning after the merger, and Qi Bingzhong will go south to take over as the commander-in-chief of Jingxiang." Wang Yingxiong replied: "This is just a theory, and I'm afraid it hasn't been decided yet. Your right servant hasn't returned yet."

"It's inappropriate for Qi Bingzhong to go to Jingxiang Town. It doesn't make much sense to keep Jingxiang Town after the war in the southwest has come to an end, so Qi Bingzhong will be delayed." Feng Ziying shook her head, "You can't set a position according to the person. The existence value of Jingxiang Town is not even as good as Guyuan Town and Guyuan Town have been abolished, what is Jingxiang Town still doing?"

"I also have the same opinion. Guyuan has been withdrawn, how much value is it to keep Jingxiang? Now the court is shouting every day that there is no money, and the Northwest Army is still lying in the Central Plains. There is no place to go. The mediocre army like Jingxiang Town is still here. Didn't you slap yourself?" Wang Yingxiong didn't think so, "If you really want to keep it, then let the Northwest Army go to the northwest, and it might be better to keep Guyuan Town."

"Feixiong, it will be difficult for the Northwest Army to let him return to Guyuan now." Fan Jingwen glanced at Feng Ziying and shook his head. This will make this group of northwestern men who were beaten to death in the Central Plains go back to eat dirt, will they agree? Even if Mr. Feng is here, they may not be able to hold back."

   What Fan Jingwen said was the truth.

  If you are going to fight in the northwest, you don’t have to say anything, you have meritorious service, you have food and pay, and you have hope.

But if you want them to go back and become the frontier guards, then it will be difficult for these Northwest men who have had enough to eat and be neglected and owed, and Feng Tang is no longer their commander-in-chief. Who can suppress them? live? Maybe it will be another Ningxia rebellion.

   The atmosphere became tense again for a while.

  An army that has no battles but no arrangements is always a problem. Either it will become loose and corrupt and become waste, or it will breed ambitions and evil intentions, which are all dangerous.

Feng Ziying waved her hand, "Okay, it's not our turn to intervene in this matter for the time being. Although I would like to know the court's considerations, I can't say it now. Let's talk about your own plans. I'm afraid you didn't even expect to come south like this. Bar?"

   "Just now we were discussing on the road, Chai Shilang implied that Ziying was recommended by you. Although we all feel that we have been promoted, why do we have to come to Jiangnan?" He Fengsheng couldn't help asking.

"Familiarize yourself with the situation in the north and the south, and feel the difference between the north and the south. It may be of great benefit to you in the future. Ke Yao, your place is the most troublesome. I have to talk to you when I pass Xuzhou. The White Lotus Sect is probably as rampant as it is." Yubei Zhili, and Xuzhou Bailian and Shandong Bailian are colluding, and it is very likely that there will be an incident in the near future."

  Feng Ziying made it clear, which shocked everyone.

He Fengsheng and Fan Jingwen have already noticed the frequent activities of the White Lotus Sect in Shuntian Mansion for two years, and have given feedback to Shuntian Mansion, but Shuntian Mansion seems to be a little out of shape, but the Ministry of Punishment often communicates with Shuntian Mansion Xiabian Prefecture County contacts.

   Now suddenly mentioning that the White Lotus Sect is rampant in Xuzhou and Shandong, several people are aware of the seriousness of the problem.

   "The Northwest Army has been stationed in Fengyang, but to deal with the White Lotus Sect?" Wang Yingxiong also asked.

   "Maybe there is a reason for this, but the White Lotus Sect is very involved, and it is as deep-rooted as it is in Shanxi. If it really wants to spread and bloom in all directions, the Northwest Army will be enough."

  Feng Ziying smiled wryly and shook her head. The news from the Ministry of Punishment was not optimistic, which was why he was urged to return to Beijing quickly.
