As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 167 Going South and Farewell
Everyone chattered for a while, and finally turned their eyes to Mingchen.

No one is idle, and everyone has things to do.

Unknowingly, Mingchen, this young and outstanding scholar, has won the trust of everyone. Everyone recognizes his talent and looks forward to his contributions.

"General Xiao, please don't worry about Cangzhou for now."

What we are discussing now has actually been discussed several times on the road.

The purpose of this meeting is to eliminate unexpected factors and make final decisions on all measures.

The governor of Cangzhou has an ambiguous attitude and is a fickle person.

According to the original plan, after arriving in Linguang, they would send troops to attack Cangzhou.

However, Yun Zheng had already set off with ten people, and Xiao Xinyue and Mingchen were willing to give him this opportunity, so they made some slight modifications.

This is a test for Yun Zheng by Mingchen and Xiao Xinyue, but also an opportunity for Yun Zheng to show himself.

After all, even if the leader recognizes him, a young boy has to show his ability if he wants to win the support of the others.

Mingchen has proven himself through various deeds, and now Yunzheng also needs to follow his own path.

"Yes!"

Mingchen bowed to the others, glanced at Xiao Xinyue, and said, "I will set off south in a few days to sign an alliance with the Blood-Cloaked Army."

The Blood-Clothed Army is a secondary enemy, and the corrupt bureaucratic forces in Kyoto are the main and irreconcilable enemy.

Join forces with the Blood-Cloaked Army to destroy Kyoto and establish the legitimacy of the imperial family.

This was the initial tone set by Mingchen when he was discussing future deployments with Xiao Xinyue on the road just after leaving Kyoto.

But no one has the confidence to be a lobbyist for the rebels, who are all crazy people. This is what Mingchen needs to do.

"I'll leave the affairs of His Highness and the various prefectures and counties of the New Dynasty to you gentlemen."

It's actually not difficult to take over the territory. The surrounding prefectures and counties are not military strongholds. With Sister Dai and 200,000 soldiers, whether it's surrender or attack, it won't be a problem.

Mingchen is not a nanny, and he doesn't need to interfere in everything.

In addition to official business, he also wanted to go south for personal reasons.

He needed to travel south to see the mysterious fire and find a future for Fuyao.

Secondly, I wanted to see an old friend and wonder if that starving and destitute man was corrupted by power after he ascended to the throne.

Regardless of anything else, Mingchen still thinks that the other party's declaration of emperorship is a stupid move.

"..."

Ling Yu next to him glanced at him and pursed her lips slightly.

We just got together, but now we have to separate.

This was the tone of troubled times, she knew it in her heart, but she still unconsciously felt a little reluctant.

Unconsciously, she has become such a sentimental person.

Xiao Xinyue, who was sitting in the main seat, also had a slight glint in her eyes.

Since she defected to Kyoto, she has become accustomed to this playboy being by her side. This is the first time Mingchen has left her.

"Ming Sir is so righteous!"

The others did not have the same strange emotions as the two girls. They just looked at the dazzling scholar with admiration in their eyes.

Everyone knows the difficulty of this matter.

The Blood-Clothed Army are a bunch of fanatical lunatics. It would be harder than climbing to the sky to persuade them.

Mingchen was not bragging. If he said he would do something, he would do it, no matter how difficult it seemed.

What is a hero?

Those who are smart and outstanding are called heroes.

A person with extraordinary courage and insight is called a hero.

A hero is someone who does things that others cannot do.

Of course, if they knew that the Blood-Cloaked Emperor had a past relationship with Mingchen, or even that in a sense, the rise of the Blood-Cloaked Army was inseparable from Mingchen's encouragement and guidance.

Maybe it wouldn’t be the expression it has now.

"Master Ming, the Blood-Cloaked Rebels are all crazy people. This journey is dangerous."

Xiao Ling said to Mingchen with some concern: "Let me accompany you."

Yu Gongmingchen is the talent chosen by Xiao Zhengyang to save the country, and he must not be lost.

Yu Simingchen had a good personal relationship with him and he also saved his life.

For both public and private reasons, he didn't want Mingchen to take any risks.

Mingchen waved his hand: "It's okay."

"General Xiao, don't forget that Chen still has some tricks up his sleeve."

"If someone can really endanger Chen's life, even if it's General Xiao and I, it will only be one more soul lost."

He didn't bring anyone with him on this trip.

Xiao Ling: ...

Thinking of Mingchen's methods, Xiao Ling fell silent.

It hurts, it's just as he said.

Xiao Xinyue's face was calm, showing no petty emotions. She simply nodded slightly towards Mingchen and said, "I'll leave this matter to Master Ming. Master Ming, please agree to this..."

She stared at the playboy, her eyes filled with his reflection.

"Come back safely, and come back soon."

Mingchen smiled and said, "As you command."

The meeting ended and everyone left.

Mingchen didn't leave. He took out a small bag and handed it to Xiao Xinyue. "Your Highness, this is a new type of rice cultivated by my friend. It's resistant to pests and lodging...it can increase the yield by at least 10%."

"But you can't save the seeds. After a few generations, they will lose their advantage."

"After Your Highness comes to power, establish a public sector to sell seeds to farmers. This will increase food production and accumulate resources. It will also enhance your reputation and win the hearts of the people."

Mingchen also did not forget what he promised Shushu.

Now that we have arrived at the base camp and settled down, it is time to start growing.

People need to eat, and the value of food is extremely important in troubled times.

Xiao Xinyue paused, feeling the bag in her hand had become much heavier.

She suddenly looked up at Mingchen: "Really?"

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

The food problem has always been a top priority for a country. Mingchen nodded, "Seriously, there's still a short time left, and we can cultivate better varieties in the future."

Xiao Xinyue was stunned when she heard this.

Suddenly he raised his head and stared at the young man in a daze: "Mingchen... are you an immortal?"

This person is like a treasure bag, he can always take out something beyond imagination from it.

He handles everything with ease and everything is under control.

For a moment, Xiao Xinyue herself felt a little dazed.

Apart from riding a horse, she had never seen Mingchen do anything wrong. He was as perfect as a god in the legend.

"kindness?"

"Hahaha!"

Mingchen was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness, Chen is a human being, a mortal."

"What's so great about immortals and gods?"

"Look at this majestic city, this thousand-year-old civilization, these vast mountains and rivers... Is there anything that was created by the gods?"

……

After arriving in Baizhou, Mingchen spent a few days relaxing and returned to his lazy life as he did in Kyoto.

Apart from the meeting on the first day, he did not ask about or participate in the rest of the matters.

Every day I am either fighting with Sister Dai or on the way to fight.

It really replenished Sister Dai’s energy.

Originally, he was the only one who fell, but now, the shining star general also fell with him.

But finally, it's time to go.

This trip south is time-limited. He needs to gather the territory with Xiao Xinyue and return before he officially ascends the throne in Qingzhou.

"Old Ghost, I'm warning you. You can go to the battlefield, but you just have to watch and don't do anything unnecessary."

"I haven't carried forward what you taught me yet!"

The sword tassel on the tattered military flag swayed in the wind. Mingchen glanced at the old ghost, without any sign of respect for his teacher.

People always have some emotions.

Mingchen prides himself on being a warm-hearted person.

But people who appear warm but are cold at heart are still human beings.

The so-called flag is too big and too ostentatious is just his excuse.

He really didn't want this old ghost to go to the battlefield.

After all, it was clearly written on him, 'Re-enter the army, fold the flag on the battlefield', which was not a good phrase.

Some wishes do not necessarily have to be fulfilled.

Guo Chongyun was stunned, as if he didn't quite understand what Mingchen said.

Since becoming his disciple, this unfortunate fellow has never respectfully called him "teacher".

There is no respect for teachers at all! Guo Chongyun didn't know whether he accepted an apprentice or a master.

"I know, I know."

The old man waved his hands and said impatiently, "I have nothing to do with your Qianyuan war."

"The more people die, the better. I don't care~"

"kindness!"

Mingchen nodded and looked at the two children on the other side.

Yun Zheng left, but did not take his sister with him.

The indifferent little girl obediently took Mingchen as her master and joined his family.

Fortunately, Mingchen had experience in dealing with autistic children, so nothing went wrong.

Mingchen bent down and gently pinched Xiudie's face: "Xiudie, brother is going out for a while. Listen to your sister at home. My sister and grandpa are left to you to take care of."

"Brother, come back soon."

The child has always been obedient. Even if he is reluctant about what Mingchen arranges, he basically won't argue.

"Good~"

Mingchen smiled and gently rubbed the other child's head: "Yunyao, you have to be obedient too."

The indifferent child nodded slightly.

Yun Yao's joining seemed to occupy some of the positions that belonged to Shy Butterfly, but contrary to Mingchen's expectations, the two autistic children got along quite harmoniously.

It's just a short separation, a few simple reminders, and it's not a life-and-death separation.

Shushu went to farm.

The cat lay lazily on the roof, basking in the sun, and waved its paw at Mingchen.

The little bird fell from the sky and landed precisely on Mingchen's shoulder. It flapped its wings gently and stood firm.

No matter where they go, Fuyao will be with Mingchen.

Mingchen looked around and nodded.

Just turned around and prepared to leave.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, a figure flashed and a fragrant breath came from behind.

A pair of arms suddenly reached out from behind him. Mingchen didn't want to let the grievance pass through the soft clothes and gently pressed against his back.

After a tiring night, his sister, who should have been sleeping in bed, now appeared behind him and hugged him gently.

The warm breath blows across the side of the face, expressing the person's full love.

No one could see how soft and sweet the tough and cold general, the crazy butcher on the battlefield, was at this moment.

"Brother Chen, take care on this trip..."

"I'll wait for you at home."

Home……

This word is still quite intoxicating.

Mingchen lowered his eyes slightly upon hearing this, and simply touched the woman's hand and said, "Okay."
