But when Niu Jizong saw Jia Yuan, he couldn't help but become suspicious of the rumors of the branch family. Niu Jizong had seen that trash Jia Zhen before. He was greedy, lecherous, and possessed all five poisons. On the other hand, Jia Yuan was so heroic. How could he be forced to leave the Ningguo Manor by Jia Zhen?
After thinking about it for a long time, Niu Jizong did not probe further and immediately said,"General, please sit down. Let's begin the discussion.”
As the meeting went on, Jia Yuan became more and more sleepy. As Jia Yuan expected, Niu Jizong chose the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness. After discussing the strategy, Niu Jizong gave the generals a mission and then let everyone disperse.
Just as Jia Yuan was about to leave, Niu Jizong stopped him and said,""A guerrilla general."
Jia Yuan stopped and turned around,""Great General."
Niu Jizong smiled." You and I are from the same line of founding fathers. The four of us are of the same breath. There's no need to be so formal."”
Jia Yuan said,"General, you are too polite. May I know why you have called me?"”
Niu Jizong said," It's not a big deal. The Retired Emperor allowed you to fight freely. This is a favor to you and the Ning and Rong Manors. However, since you are a martial aristocratic family, you still have to more or less establish some merits. If you are willing, I can assign you a tightly guarded defense area.”
Jia Yuan bowed to Niu Jizong and said,""Thank you for your kind intentions, Great General. I already have a battle plan, so I can only disappoint Great General's good intentions.”
Niu Jizong was not annoyed after hearing this. He believed in his own judgment. Jia Yuan was definitely not someone from the pool. Niu Jizong said,"Alright, if you need anything, you can come to the main tent. I will provide you with help.”
"Thank you, Great General. I will take my leave.”
After leaving the central army tent, Jia Yuan's evaluation of Niu Jizong was a bit higher. Niu Jizong could be considered a general among the founding fathers of the country. Although he could not compare to the military ability of his predecessors, he was able to inherit the title of First Uncle, which in itself proved his ability.
Niu Jizong was a person with real military merits. Otherwise, he could only be like Jia Zhen and the others, inheriting the title of a third-class general or viscount. No matter what, he could not become an earl.
Let me briefly introduce the title system here. Viscounts and barons were equivalent to the first and second ranks. Starting from the count, they were considered to be supreme rank officials. Above them were marquises, dukes, and barons.
Among them, there were also different types of titles such as marquises, dukes, and princes. For example, the titles of princes, princes, county dukes, and county dukes. There were all different grades. Those who were interested could go and search for them.
Just as Jia Yuan was planning his grand scheme, in the Rong Mansion in the capital, Jia Zhen looked at Grandmother Jia and Jia She as if she was sitting on pins and needles, her heart somewhat anxious.
Grandmother Jia said," Brother Zhen, you're really good at scheming. Jia Yuan only wants an official position, but when did he ask for silver? You're really good. In just a few words, you've earned twenty thousand taels with a flip of your hand. You're really good at making money."”
Jia Zhen hurriedly said," Ancestor, you are wise. Second Brother did ask for silver. This is absolutely true. I gave him all the silver. I didn't keep a single cent for myself."”
Jia Zhen was also secretly complaining in his heart. When he sent a letter to Jia Yuan that day, Jia Yuan had exposed that Jia Zhen must have asked for more remuneration from Rong Mansion. In addition to the promised official position, he must have given him 30,000 taels of silver.
When Jia Zhen heard this, she immediately exploded. So not only could she not earn 20,000 taels, she had to pay 10,000 taels. Jia Zhen immediately said that she wanted a total of 20,000 taels and told Jia Yuan 'ai to take it or not.
Who knew that Jia Yuan would happily accept the 20,000 taels of silver. Only then did Jia Zhen understand that he had fallen for Jia Yuan's shallow provocation, but it was too late for regrets.
Hearing Jia Zhen's explanation, Grandmother Jia sneered and said,""I don't know how much money you gave Jia Yuan, but I know that Jia Yuan didn't ask for money when he was negotiating with you. Good, you've been blinded by greed and cheated me. If you don't give me an explanation, don't blame me for asking the elders to judge.”
After Jia Zhen heard this, he hurriedly begged for mercy and said,"Old ancestor, I really gave all the silver to my second brother. Please be clear."”
Jia She said disdainfully," Mother, it seems that this fellow is willing to sacrifice his life and not his wealth. He still refuses to admit that there is conclusive evidence. He is clearly bullying our Rong Mansion. Please, elders."”
Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Zhen coldly and said,""Brother Zhen, I've already made it very clear. Either you return the twenty thousand taels of silver and write off the farm's profits, or I'll have to ask the elders.”
Jia Yuan had taken advantage of the loophole this time, and the Rong Mansion had spent money in vain. Grandmother Jia was already furious. Jia Zhen actually dared to take a commission. How could Grandmother Jia accept this? She immediately went berserk.
Seeing this, Jia Zhen could only helplessly say,"Ancestor, I'll refund the money. I'll refund the money, okay?”
"That's more like it. Alright, I'm tired.”
After Jia Zhen left the Rong Mansion in a daze, her heart was filled with regret. She had been busy all this time, but in the end, not only did she not get a penny of benefits, but she also lost twenty thousand taels of silver.
It was like seeing a ghost. The more Jia Zhen thought about it, the angrier she became. How did the Rong Mansion know that Jia Yuan didn't ask for money?
Jia Zhen thought about it and found that there was only one possibility. Jia Yuan had deliberately leaked the news to Rong Mansion to trick her.
The more Jia Zhen thought about it, the more she felt that this was the only truth. This damn second brother, didn't I just give you a little less than a hundred million yuan when we split up? You actually schemed against me like this. Just you wait, I won't let you off.
After Jia Zhen returned home in a fluster, she was so angry that she couldn't sleep the entire night.
In Dingxiang County in the north, Jia Yuan rushed to the bridgehead to fight against the Xiongnu overnight.
In a hidden forest outside the city, 5,000 white horses were waiting for their master. The leader was a general in a white robe and a silver spear. He rode a Night Illumination Jade Lion. Those who knew the Three Kingdoms should know that this was Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, the Five Tiger Generals.
That's right, the system had also thoughtfully provided General Zhao Zilong with the 5,000 white horses that Jia Yuan had signed in for.
Moreover, the 5,000 white horses were not made out of nothing. The system had prepared the background of this world for every soldier. The same was true for the soldiers summoned in the future. Everyone would naturally think that these were the soldiers of the Great Zhou.
Just as the 5,000 White Horse Righteous Soldiers were lined up and waiting, Jia Yuan rode his Red Hare Horse from afar and arrived in front of the White Horse Righteous Soldiers.
When the five thousand white horse followers saw Jia Yuan, they all knelt down on one knee and said,""Greetings, my lord."
