Hearing that Liu Zheng had just returned and was ambushed, Liu Xiang was furious."How did Baldy Jiang know about such top-secret information?”
Obviously, there was only one explanation for this, and that was that there was a spy secretly planted by Baldy Jiang among the higher-ups of the Sichuan army.
Liu Xiang had been able to occupy Shu Capital for decades, so how could he not have some tricks up his sleeve?
Since Baldy Jiang wanted to see his reaction, he would investigate openly.
That day, Liu Xiang personally issued an order: "Investigate the military spies in Shu City. Once you find anything, immediately arrest them.”
In fact, Liu Xiang had been secretly paying attention to Baldy Jiang's every move and had already obtained a lot of information.
Taking this opportunity, Liu Xiang was prepared to eliminate as many Juntong spies as possible in Shudu.
In the marshal's manor.
"Marshal, have some tea…"
"Ah Fu, Zheng 'er went out alone. Why didn't you send someone to follow him?”
"Reporting to the marshal, the marshal gave us a death order. He said that we were going out to relax…"
"Hmm? Since Zheng 'er was able to detect danger in advance this time, he must have a certain ability to protect himself. Forget it, this matter will end here today…"
Outside the marshal's manor.
"Hey, have you had enough?"
Chen Shuang, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and questioned Liu Zheng.
"The main road faces the sky, each walking half way. You go your way, I go mine. Why am I following you? Miss, you are Liu Shao Shuai's seventh aunt, you have a noble status, you don't have to slander me like this, right?”
Chen Shuang didn't make things difficult for the rich young master just now. She only asked him to apologize to the homeless mother and daughter.
After Chen Shuang left, Liu Zheng wanted to go back to his residence. He did not expect the two of them to come together from two different directions.
Therefore, Chen Shuang misunderstood that Liu Zheng was following him.
From the original owner's memory, Liu Zheng confirmed,""Chen Shuang's biological father, Chen Wenhui, is currently the commander of the 7th division of the Sichuan army.”
Chen Shuang didn't continue the topic after Liu Zheng finished speaking. It seemed that she had already realized that she had made a mistake in her judgment.
Not long after, Chen Shuang walked straight into the marshal's manor.
"Seventh aunt is too good…"
"Pa ~ Hello, Young Marshal!"
When they saw Chen Shuang and Liu Zheng, the soldiers on duty at the door greeted them in unison.
When they greeted Liu Zheng, the soldiers 'tones were obviously much higher. It was obvious that Liu Zheng's status was higher than Chen Shuang's.
"W-what? Did you just call him Young Marshal?"
"Seventh Aunt? When did you get married?"
Seeing Chen Shuang's shocked expression, Liu Zheng laughed instead.
"That, that?"
"Miss Chen Shuang, right? Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Zheng, and I'm 190 centimeters tall. I think I'm married. If there's no eighth aunt, I think I have a total of seven wives…"
Hearing Liu Zheng's joking words, Chen Shuang finally regained some of her composure.
After staring at Liu Zheng with her big black pearl-like eyes for a few seconds, Chen Shuang, whose ears were a little red, suddenly lowered her head and ran away.
"Hehe, I didn't expect the little tomboy to be shy. Could it be that this Young Marshal's appearance is really better than Pan An's?”
After a while, the butler, Liu Afu, took the initiative to welcome him. Then, he brought Liu Zheng straight to a magnificent hall.
A middle-aged man sat on the sofa in the middle of the hall. He was dressed in military uniform and exuded the dignity and temperament of a superior.
"He is Liu Xiang? My cheap father…"
After calming himself down, Liu Zheng took the initiative to step forward and greet him.""Father, I'm back."
"Okay, stand up straight…"
"Pa…"
Liu Zheng took the initiative to suck in his stomach and puffed out his chest. Then, he stood up like a pine tree.
"Not bad, you've grown taller and stronger. You look a little like me when I was young. Tell me, what skills have you learned abroad all these years? Let me open my eyes…"
To be honest, Liu Zheng was not doing well overseas. It was only because Liu Xiang was rich and powerful. Otherwise, the original Liu Zheng would probably only be able to show off that pretty boy's appearance.
Before returning to China, Liu Zheng had gotten into a fight with someone because of a foreign woman. During the fight, he was accidentally killed by a steel pipe on the spot.
"Father, I haven't come into contact with any powerful people overseas all these years, nor have I done much…"
When Liu Zheng said this, Liu Xiang did not get angry, but his eyes were filled with disappointment.
Liu Xiang had always wanted to save the country from danger. If Liu Zheng was really a useless person, he might consider letting someone else take over as the next marshal.
Moreover, if there was really no one in the Sichuan army to use, Liu Xiang could only give the power of the Sichuan army to Jiang Bald Head for nothing.
All of these were not what Liu Xiang wanted to see the most, because he hoped that Liu Zheng could inherit his mantle.
"But…"
"But what? Don't hide it. I'm your father. What can't I say to your face?”
"But Dad, I've made friends with a lot of high-level scholars. Some of them are surgeons, some are military experts, and some are mineral smelting experts. After I return to the country and settle down, these people will gradually come to rely on me…"
As Liu Zheng said this, Liu Xiang's eyes lit up.
In this era, China lacked everything, and the most lacking of all was talents with specialties or skills!
This was the biggest difference between China and the rest of the world.
"Zheng 'er, you didn't lie to me?"
"Father, five of them will secretly arrive in Rong City in the next half a month. You will know when you personally assess them.”
"Good! Like father, like son. You're indeed my son! Zheng 'er, your father's health is getting worse by the day. The Sichuan army has nearly 400,000 soldiers. The administrative affairs in Shu are cumbersome. If you want to stabilize the situation and control the military power, the burden on your body cannot be underestimated! How about this, go to the backyard to meet your seventh wife first and get to know them well. Try to get the seven commanders through them as soon as possible…"
It turned out that in order to help Liu Zheng take control of the military power as soon as possible, Liu Xiang found an excuse to marry the daughters of the seven commanders of the Sichuan army in Liu Zheng's name.
That's right, Liu Xiang was imitating the 'hostage strategy' in history.
Liu Xiang was worried that Liu Zheng did not have enough strength and ability. Otherwise, he might not have done so.
Thus, the slightest carelessness would force the seven commanders to rebel.
Originally, Liu Zheng wanted to bring up the matter of recruiting the army, but after seeing Liu Xiang's attitude, he stopped in time.
"My cheapskate dad is so anxious for me to take control of the military and government. Is his body really going to die? Since that's the case, I don't think I need to mention it. He will also help me implement military power as soon as possible…"
Liu Zheng analyzed silently in his heart.
