Chapter 275 Calculation
Jun Moye looked at Ren Jinzhou with a smile in his eyes.
"Lord Shenwu Hou is a man of both civil and military talents. When I was in the Imperial City a few years ago, I heard about his heroic deeds of defeating an enemy force of 100,000 with only 30,000 soldiers. I have always admired him deeply. If I could be your friend, I would feel extremely fortunate."
Ren Jinzhou didn't expect that Jun Moye still remembered the battle he had fought many years ago. That battle was engraved in his heart, but how many people in this world would remember it?
"Master Jun, since we are friends now, please stop calling each other 'Master Shenwu' and 'Master Shenwu'. It sounds a bit strange. I am several years older than you. Why don't you call me Brother Ren and I will call you Brother Jun."
Jun Moye agreed readily after hearing this.
"Okay, when I get better, I'll have a few drinks with Brother Ren. I have a few jars of homemade osmanthus wine at home."
Who doesn’t love wine if he practices martial arts? Ren Jinzhou said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll wait for my brother Jun to recover soon and treat me to a drink."
Jun Moye spoke with a smile.
"We must drink enough together, but the war has just ended. Brother Ren just said that if there is anything I can help you with, just let me know. I really do need your help with something."
When Ren Jinzhou heard this, he understood that this favor might be related to the war, so he spoke quickly.
"Brother Jun, please speak."
Jun Moye then slowly spoke.
"Brother Ren, you have been in charge of the Northwest for these days, so I think you must have known about the memorial sent to the Imperial City. Now the position of the Northwest Commander is vacant, and this is the most important defense of Tianyuan. If it is you, Brother Ren, who will be stationed in the Northwest, then I will feel at ease.
Externally, Brother Ren, you are both civil and military, and the Northern Wing is wary of you. Internally, I believe in your character and will certainly take good care of the wounded soldiers left behind by this battle. However, if the court replaces someone else, I would still be somewhat worried.
Ren Jinzhou naturally knew in his heart that Emperor Tianyuan would not easily allow him to become a commander-in-chief and hold military power.
"I'm staying in the northwest, so this might not be possible. But from what you said, brother Jun, do you already have a candidate in mind? Could it be that you want me to help you recommend someone of your choice for the position?"
Jun Moye spoke with a smile.
"The one who knows me best is Brother Ren. Li Xiao was trained by General Pei himself. As for General Pei, I think you also know him. General Pei is upright and has a good command of troops. He has guarded the northwest for decades. The people he trained will not be wrong. I also got to know Li Xiao a little during this battle. His martial arts and character are good.
Moreover, he is a descendant of a military family. If you, Brother Ren, are willing to promote him, I think he will definitely become the second General Pei. He originally came from the northwest and has long been close to the soldiers there. He will naturally treat the injured soldiers well in the future."
Ren Jinzhou listened and spoke thoughtfully.
"You and General Song seem to have a tacit understanding, both recommending Li Xiao. I've checked the files on Li Xiao, and he's indeed a descendant of a military family. In this battle, he killed a special agent from the North Wing and killed countless North Wing soldiers. He's indeed made great contributions. However, he's still young, having only been in the barracks for two or three years. It would be difficult for him to become the chief general of the Northwest and command 100,000 troops based on just this one battle."
Jun Moye looked at Ren Jinzhou and spoke meaningfully.
"Brother Ren, you should understand what I mean. His individual contributions alone are indeed not enough, but what if he was the one who defended the northwest? He was entrusted with the task, leading everyone to use the people as soldiers to defend the northwest. He used his troops wisely, using only 80,000 wounded soldiers to resist the 300,000-strong army on the northern wing, and he held the northwest until reinforcements arrived. That should be enough."
As expected, Jun Moye wanted to give all the credit to Li Xiao. Ren Jinzhou lowered his voice.
"Brother Jun, tell me the truth, is this Li Xiao your man?"
Jun Moye smiled.
"After this battle, we, the soldiers from the northwest, have become friends for life and death, and naturally we are as close as brothers."
Ren Jinzhou pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, I understand. I've had my fill of chicken soup too. I'll go write the memorial now. Take good care of yourself, brother. I came to the northwest in a hurry to support you, and I didn't bring anything with me to give you. I'll take care of this for you. Consider it a welcome gift. Remember to owe me a good drink."
Jun Moye also smiled and stood up.
"Thank you, Brother Ren. I will remember this favor. If you need me in the future, please feel free to ask."
Ren Jinzhou reached out and patted Jun Moye on the shoulder, speaking encouragingly.
"Take good care of your injuries. I'll come see you again when I'm done with my work."
Jun Moye responded hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, brother."
Then he instructed Tao Zhiwen.
"See Lord Shenwu Hou off for me."
I saw Tao Zhiwen send Ren Jinzhou out.
Only then did Jun Moye put away his weak look.
"Qingwu."
Qingwu appeared and bowed.
"Sir, Madam."
Jun Moye ordered in a deep voice.
"Follow Chen Sibo yourself, just follow him from a distance. Keep an eye out for anyone around him, or if there's anyone following him. Find the right time, and if Chen Sibo needs you, cooperate with him."
After hearing this, Qingwu bowed silently and retreated.
And at this time Chen Sibo.
After walking around the street for a few times, it was already dark and there were shouts coming from the street stalls.
While walking towards the Su family, he looked back calmly with a gloomy expression.
Damn it, this Huyan Zan is so suspicious. I hope the Su family’s defense is strong enough. If something really happens to the Su family, even if I die ten times, it won’t be enough to compensate.
After observing for a long time in the alley far away from the Su family's house, Chen Sibo climbed into the Su family's yard, and immediately climbed out and left.
The tail that was following him secretly continued to follow him from a distance.
Back to Yuelai Tower.
It was already late at night, and Chen Sibo drank two cups of tea before he hurriedly spoke to Hu Yanzan.
"Master Qingyuan, I've checked carefully. The Su family has a lot of people protecting them, both openly and covertly, and there should be several martial arts masters. I'm afraid we need to bring as many people as possible. Tomorrow morning, I'll go out and scout the way. I'll be familiar with every street and every alley. When we make our move, we'll knock everyone out so we can evacuate them."
After hearing this, Master Qingyuan spoke slowly.
"Well, I'll go with you tomorrow and familiarize myself with every road. After all, after the war, there have been some changes here. You can go down and rest first."
After Chen Sibo goes down.
Ajun, who was outside the door, came in and bowed.
"Young Master."
Huyan Zan looked at Azhun.
"What do the people who follow him say?"
Ah Zhun lowered his head and spoke.
"Our people followed him for a day. He first walked on the street for a long time, then hid in the alley near the Su family's house for a long time, and then climbed into the Su family's yard. But he came out immediately after climbing in, and then came back later. You know it, master."
Hu Yanzan nodded slightly after hearing this.
"It seems that this Chen Sibo is really bent on revenge. Let's keep him for now."
Azhun looked at Huyanzan.
"Sir, do we really have to take action soon? With our current strength, if we take action, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous."
Hu Yanzan sneered and spoke.
"Of course, I won't choose to confront Jun Moye at this time. After you gather everyone, we will follow Chen Sibo to the Su family, snatch the Jun family's child, and then leave and evacuate to the North Wing. As long as the child follows us to the North Wing, Jun Moye and his wife will naturally go to the North Wing."
