Chapter 1169: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (Fifty-Nine) New Mission

In the heavy snow, a raging fire broke out in Qiao Wan's house. The villagers who came after hearing the news tried their best to put out the strange flames. Some people guessed that it must be the Qiao family who set the fire themselves. They would rather die than be humiliated, which was in line with Qiao Wan's reading nature. Everyone could only sigh. These days, every family is in trouble. Perhaps, death is a good relief.

Qiao Tang was naturally furious. The next day, when the Qiao family arrived at Qiaojia Village from Qiao County with a big red sedan chair, they saw only a pile of ruins. His beauty had long disappeared. Qiao Tang's son Qiao Huai, who came after hearing the news, immediately mobilized all the forces he could to hunt down the Qiao family after inspecting the corpses that had been burned beyond recognition on the Ash Road. Unfortunately, after the Han Dynasty had operated this area for more than half a year, the power of the Chu court was almost destroyed. Although they are now making a comeback, it will obviously take time to restore their rule here, and the people are extremely uncooperative, and his right? Pig? Pig? Island? novel ww.uua. hand, and the powerful Supervisory Council action team. Qiao Huai was in a mess for more than ten days, but got nothing and ended up in disgrace.

This matter was really a small matter for the Chu State. Qiao Rongniang was an extremely important person to Ye Feng, but for the Chu State, it was just an ordinary citizen who disappeared. For Guiying, he lost miserably in this contest with the Supervisory Council, so he naturally put it aside to avoid embarrassment.

When the Chu people stopped fighting, Qiao Wan and his party, escorted by Zhang Xi, had arrived in Cangzhou safely. This mission was too easy for Zhang Xi.

He was once a scout with outstanding military exploits in the Northern Army. He was favored by the Supervisory Council because of his skills in concealment and assassination. He was transferred from the Northern Army to serve as the captain of one of the teams in the Supervisory Council Action Brigade. This was his first mission. For him, such an action is really not of the same level as the half-wise and half-brave Donghu people in Liaodong.

The convoy escorting Qiao Wan went straight to the second division camp of Ye Feng stationed in Cangzhou.

When the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Qiao Rongniang saw the extraordinary and heroic young officer who made her think about it day and night standing in front of the carriage with a smile on his face. She was surprised and surprised, and she actually covered her face and cried.

"It's okay, Rongniang. Everything is fine now. No one dares to embarrass you here." Ye Feng comforted her gently, bowed to Qiao Wan and Qiao Shi beside Rongniang, and said, "Mr., you have worked hard all the way."

Zhang Xi was a little surprised to see Yi Bin, the deputy director of the Supervisory Council, which should now be called the National Security Bureau, standing next to Ye Feng. He couldn't help but pout, thinking that it was just to pick up General Ye's sweetheart, why did Director Yi come to Cangzhou in person. Such a small job can also make Director Yi go out in person, of course, because of Ye Feng's identity.

Zhang Xi completed his mission by handing Qiao Wan and her family over to Ye Feng.

He walked to Yi Bin and saluted, "Director Yi." Yi Bin was in charge of the Security Bureau's action team, and was Zhang Xi's direct superior.

"This mission was done very well." Yi Bin nodded. The corners of his mouth twitched, as if revealing a smile, Zhang Xi knew. This superior had not laughed for a long time because of the failure of the last Mao Wei incident. It was only after that incident that he was transferred to the Security Bureau. The Jiangdong County Action Team suffered heavy losses in the battle, and even Yi Bin was seriously injured and barely escaped. "Leave this to General Ye, I have something else to ask you."

Yi Bin ignored the matter between Ye Feng and the Qiao family, and took Zhang Xi to a secluded room in the military camp.

"How do you feel about this operation?" Yi Bin asked.

"It's easy." Zhang Xi shrugged.

"That's not what I'm asking. I want to know how you feel about returning to this area this time. How are the people there? How does the Chu government treat the local people? What is the current status of the policies we implement in that area?" A trace of annoyance flashed across Yi Bin's face. Although Captain Zhang is very capable, the ruffian style he developed in the army is somewhat incompatible with the rigorous style of the Security Bureau. "Before you acted, did your superiors tell you to pay attention to this intelligence?"

Hearing that Yi Bin was asking this, Zhang Xi's face became serious, "Director Yi, if you really want me to describe the situation in that area, I can only use one word to describe it, miserable!"

"We sneaked along the way, and what we saw and heard was horrible. The Chu people came back and really killed a lot of people. All the locals who had close contact with our Han army at that time were basically beheaded. The village heads elected by the villages themselves basically did not survive. Let's take Qiaojia Village as an example. Several people were killed. Moreover, the land we distributed to them has now returned to those gentry and landlords, and the rent has been doubled, saying that it is a punishment for them. If Qiao Wanjia had not given birth to a beautiful girl, I am afraid that his head would have fallen to the ground long ago." Zhang Xi lowered his voice and said.

"Shut up, you can't call Mr. Qiao's name casually. He was an ordinary person before, will he still be in the future?" Yi Bin rebuked in a low voice.

Zhang Xi pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Okay, Zhang Xi, you completed your mission well this time, so the hospital, oh no, the bureau, also commended you, and your rank will be promoted by one level. From now on, you are a colonel officer of the National Security Bureau's Action Brigade. Congratulations, Colonel Zhang Xi."

"Is this enough to get promoted by one level?" Zhang Xi opened his mouth wide. When he was transferred from the Northern Army, the military rank system had not yet been implemented. However, after the military rank regulations were announced in the army, he thought he should be able to get a lieutenant colonel level. He never thought that after carrying out such an easy task, his rank would be immediately promoted by one level.

This is really a lucky one. Zhang Xi thought to himself.

"Don't be so proud. The higher your position, the greater your responsibility." Looking at Zhang Xi, who was full of joy, Yi Bin said coldly: "You have also seen the action this time. Although our Han Dynasty has not ruled this area for a long time, our policies have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The most fearful thing is comparison. Those locals will compare the rule of the Chu people with our rule, and they will know that we are countless times better than them. Now the Chu people are killing people everywhere. They want to use blood to deter the locals. This may have some effect, but it will also make people there change their minds. This is our opportunity, the opportunity of our security bureau."

"What do we need to do?" Zhang Xi asked.

"It's very simple. It's impossible for our army to go there now, because the country can't go to war with the Chu people now. Minister Cao has received clear information. In recent years, our Han national policy has been to deal with the Qin people with all our strength. The Chu people are mainly appeased and won over. Before destroying Qin, there will be no large-scale war with Chu, but this does not include us, do you understand?"

"In other words, our security bureau can do whatever it wants."

"Yes, on the side of Daba Mountain, there are thousands of miles of land, which is enough for us to toss. Now there, we already have enough mass base, and the Chu people's perverse actions have also brought the locals to the brink of collapse. Now, only a little spark can ignite a huge fire." Yi Bin said.

"Are you saying that we should send some people to organize such actions?" Zhang Xi's face was a little subtle.

"Yes, we can't send troops there. But it's none of our business if they riot, right?" Yi Bin laughed, "You are the commander-in-chief of this operation, go to that area in person to take charge of these operations. A spark can start a prairie fire. Remember Commander Bai's actions in Qi?"

"This is incomparable. At that time, Commander Bai had the strong support of the navy, the island as a logistics base, and the mainland was strongly supported in terms of manpower and weapons. I'm afraid I won't get any support this time!" Zhang Xi said with a bitter face.

"You are smart!" Yi Bin smiled and said, "That's true. If you are caught by the Chu people, we won't even acknowledge your existence, and you can only blame yourself for your bad luck. But if you succeed," Yi Bin patted Zhang Xi's shoulder, "When you come back, the epaulettes on your shoulders may be replaced with mine."

Looking at the golden plum blossom on Yi Bin's shoulder, Zhang Xi's eyes suddenly became hot, General!

The king once said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Now he is only one step away from being a general. If he makes another contribution, the title of general will be within his grasp.

"I'll go!" He immediately expressed his opinion.

"Okay, I knew you would agree." Yi Bin said with a smile.

"Military orders are like mountains. Even if I don't want to agree, I can't!" Zhang Xi's soldier style immediately broke out again.

Yi Bin glared at him, "Bring me a set of specific action details tonight. After we discuss it, you can start the action. Colonel Zhang, the same action is not only in Chu, but also in Qin's Shu. I personally summoned you to the Security Bureau. I don't want others to succeed in the end, but you fail."

"Don't worry, Director Yi, how could I lose to others." Zhang Xi said nonchalantly.

They began to plan to lead the local people to riot in Chu, while on the other side, Qiao Wan's family was stunned, not because of anything else, but because of Ye Feng's identity.

Li Pu, the governor of Cangzhou, Li Can's family, and Meng Chong, the commander of the Second Front Army stationed in Cangzhou, all appeared in Ye Feng's military camp.

"Ye Feng, I originally prepared a house for Mr. Qiao in Cangzhou, but now Mr. Qiao's family can't stay in Cangzhou. Director Yi brought the princess' order from Jicheng, asking us to send someone to escort Mr. Qiao's family to Jicheng immediately." Meng Chong said to Ye Feng with a smile.

"What is this sister going to do?" Ye Feng was very dissatisfied. He had just met his sweetheart and hadn't said a few words, but she was going to take him away again.

"Hehehe!" Meng Chong laughed, "Eldest sister is like a mother, Ye Feng, the princess is also for your own good. Besides, the conditions in Jicheng are much better than those in Cangzhou. If Mr. Qiao goes to Jicheng, will the princess still treat Mr. Qiao's family badly?"

"Princess?" Qiao Wan on the side was stunned.

Li Pu said to Qiao Wan with a smile: "Mr. Qiao may not know that Master Ye's biological sister is the princess of our Great Han King. Master Ye is the princess's only legitimate brother. Moreover, Master Ye was also raised by the king since he was a child. He is very precious to the king. It is understandable that the king and the princess are more serious about Master Ye's lifelong event. Please don't be surprised, Mr. Qiao. The princess wants to meet Miss Qiao first."

Qiao Wan swallowed hard. Not long ago, he was just an ordinary citizen, but in the blink of an eye, he was linked to the ruler of the most powerful country in the world. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. But now that he had come to this place, could he still do what he wanted? (To be continued...)
