As soon as the lights came on, dense horseshoes sounded on the dark street in front of the Governor's Mansion of Luyang Province.
"who?!"
A mighty army officer standing guard in front of the Governor's Mansion stepped forward, put one hand on the handle of the knife, and sternly asked into the darkness.
The more than a hundred strong soldiers behind this mighty army officer also stared at the dark street with the weapons in their hands as if they were facing a big enemy.
A slender young general wearing a blood-red cloak rode out of the darkness, behind him was a group of sturdy cavalry covered in iron armor.
After the officer guarding the gate of the Governor's Mansion clearly saw the pale face of the young general, fear appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee.
"Meet Your Royal Highness——"
Amidst the clash of armor and weapons, more than a hundred soldiers of the mighty army standing guard at the gate of the Governor's Mansion also knelt down on one knee and saluted King Ning's son Long Jun.
"Meet Your Royal Highness——"
Facing the mighty army guards who feared him like a tiger, Shizi Longjun dismounted from his horse, without even looking at them, he strode up the steps and headed for the governor's mansion.
"By the way, it's useless to have your eyes anyway, go dig them out."
When Long Jun was about to step into the gate of the Governor's Mansion, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said with a smile to the mighty army officer kneeling on his knees.
After hearing Long Jun's words, the mighty officer's body trembled uncontrollably.
"His Royal Highness, please spare me—" the officer of the mighty army hurriedly begged for mercy.
But after Long Jun said that, he went straight to the governor's mansion without looking back.
Two cavalrymen in iron armor strode up to the mighty army officer who was kneeling on the ground.
"Do it yourself or us?" an armored cavalry said coldly.
"No, no, please, I was blind just nowAh!"
The mighty army officers kneeling on the ground around saw the officer rolling all over the ground covering his bloodied eyes, and they were all so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.
Soon, the mighty army officer passed out from the pain. An armored cavalry officer signaled that someone dragged him down.
"Wash the blood away."
Seeing the bright red blood on the steps, the cavalry officer gave instructions to the mighty soldiers kneeling on the ground.
"No——"
When the soldiers of the Mighty Army were busy cleaning the blood at the gate of the Governor's Mansion under the supervision of the armored cavalry, the prince Long Jun had already strode outside the living room of the Governor's Mansion.
"Come on, drink—we won't go home until we're drunk tonight!"
"Come on, let's do it."
The living room of the Governor's Mansion was brightly lit and bustling. King Ning and a group of rich and powerful patriarchs in fine attire were toasting and toasting. Numerous maids in tulle shuttled among them, adding to the joyful atmosphere in the living room.
Compared with the Qinghe Army Chen Ziang's attack on the gentry and rich men in the fish and meat village, it is different to win over the majority of ordinary people.
King Ning is not interested in those poor and tinkling people, he mainly wins over the rich and powerful families from all over Luyang Province.
With the support of these wealthy families and the supply of money and food, he was able to gain a firm foothold in Luyang Province.
In return, King Ning also promised these wealthy families that they would not touch their local interests and would give them asylum.
Moreover, the children of wealthy families can also join King Ning's army and serve as military positions at all levels.
Now King Ning is hosting more than a dozen top family leaders in Luyang Province. The two parties have reached a gentleman's agreement, and it can be said that both parties are very satisfied.
When everyone in the living room was tossing their cups and toasting, their faces flushed from drinking, Long Jun, the heir apparent in military uniform, stepped into the living room.
The air suddenly froze, and everyone's eyes turned to Long Jun. The patriarch of a wealthy family who had just laughed at Yan Yan, shut his mouth wisely, and the living room suddenly became quiet.
"Jun'er, you're here just in time to have a drink with everyone."
When King Ning saw Long Jun in military uniform, his face showed pride, and he greeted Long Jun with a smile.
"Father, I have something important to report."
Long Jun stood on the spot without moving, but cupped his hands and opened his mouth.
Long Jun was extremely brave and bloodthirsty on the battlefield. He led his troops to sweep away the bandits in Luyang Province.Bandit, it can be said that the reputation is far and wide.
King Ning has always been proud of Long Jun, but Long Jun has a fatal flaw, that is, he always regards himself as noble, and he is unwilling to associate with those rich and powerful families in the fish and meat town, and somewhat looks down on them.
"I'll talk about it later. These are your elders. We will rely on them to support our mighty army in the future. You come here to offer a toast to them as a token of your gratitude."
King Ning knew his son's stubborn temper, but as King Ning, his majesty was naturally not to be offended.
Although Long Jun was full of disgust towards these fat patriarchs of wealthy families, but facing King Ning's order, he could only hold up his wine glass.
"Thank you for your support to us."
After Long Jun picked up the wine glass and looked around, he directly raised his neck and drank it all, regardless of the rich patriarchs with different faces.
"His Royal Highness, you are welcome."
"His Royal Highness is a good drinker."
"This is what we should do."
"I would like to ask His Royal Highness to take care of you in the future."
"I offer a cup to His Royal Highness."
Seeing the eldest son Long Jun straight up his neck and drank it all in one gulp, the patriarchs of the rich and powerful families also raised their wine glasses one after another and said compliments.
Although these families have considerable influence in Luyang Province, they are still close to facing King Ning. After all, they have no army in their hands.
Especially when the Qinghe Army swept across Luyang Province, most of them fled to neighboring provinces.
If King Ning hadn't led his troops to recover Luyang Province, they would still be hiding in Tibet.
Now they have to rely on the protection of King Ning's army, so they are also looking forward to King Ning.
Facing the flattery and compliments of the patriarchs of these big families, Long Jun remained cold and unmoved at all.
"Everyone take it easy, I'll come back as soon as I go."
After King Ning greeted everyone, he left the banquet and headed towards the study.
"Jun'er, you need to change your temper. I know you don't like them, but we depend on them for our money and food."
"Without their money and food support, we might have to drink the northwest wind."
After returning to the study, King Ning saw Long Jun standing there, and couldn't help criticizing him.
"We can also go to the people to collect money and food. Why let them help collect it? They are filling their own pockets, and they don't know how much money they have collected." Long Jun couldn't help but said.
"Huh, we can indeed go to the people to collect money and food, but have you ever thought about it, without them monitoring the people everywhere, the people have fled, who do we go to collect it from?"
"We can send our officials to the local area to supervise the people's grain growing."
King Ning said unceremoniously: "It's easy to say, strong dragons don't overwhelm local snakes, and the influence of their families in the local area is intricate. Do you think that sending one or two officials over can grow the grain and collect it? You are so naive. "(Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
