After Hu Niuer went out happily, he not only immediately went to Jiao Chu to say Qian, but also said sorry to the other six military marquises one by one. The soldiers have always admired the strong. Hu Niuer's martial arts are indeed much better than theirs. It seems understandable to say that words. Moreover, as a close minister of Yuan Xi, he not only received punishment, but also came to apologize in person. Naturally, they did not dare to hold on. After several conversations, they immediately became like brothers. It is really so true that they would not know each other without fighting.

Hearing that Hu Niuer was going to choose a few people to form a personal guard camp to defend Yuan Xi, he even patted his chest and promised that he would choose whatever he wanted, and if he had any trouble, he would come to them.

The vast army election ceremony began soon. I heard that I could become Yuan Xi’s personal guards, and all the soldiers rushed towards the schoolyard in a hurry, with a hurried look on everyone’s faces.

However, just when it was in full swing, someone's face was not very good-looking. In a tent that was obviously not small, the army Sima Zhang Nan sat on the desk, his eyes flashing with desire, ambition, and unwillingness. Although he was received by Yuan Xi yesterday, he just said a few simple words and did not use his ideas at all. His status was too far behind Jiao Chu. He had known from Jiao Chu that Yuan Xi would be released as the governor of a state. With the identity of the Yuan family's legitimate son, how great the power would be in the future. He was really unwilling to be forgotten by Yuan Xi. His goal was to enter the core of Yuan Xi and become one of the important officials.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Meng suddenly stood up and quietly took out a small bamboo slip from a short shelf next to him. His eyes hesitated for a while, and finally a cold light flashed.

"I can't give up after finally having such an opportunity!"

After firm and whispering desperately, Zhang Nan put the bamboo slips directly into his pocket, walked out of the tent, and headed directly towards the tent where Yuan Xi was.

At this time, in Yuan Xi's tent, bursts of pleasant laughter suddenly rang out.

"Niu'er, that's how he elected soldiers."

"Yes! However, although Captain Hu's method is simple, it is very practical. He can take his ordinary hammer without kneeling down, or has some martial arts skills or good strength, and is all elite soldiers. When I came, I found that he had chosen six of them, and the speed was quite fast," Yuan Ping praised.

"Haha, Niu'er also has times of carefulness." Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction.

After Yuan Ping smiled, he whispered: "Second brother, I have decided to officially start the formation of the military command in a few days."

Yuan Xi nodded, "Okay, you can choose whatever you want, and you can even recruit people from outside, but you must be careful and report to me any time you have any."

"No" Yuan Ping responded,

After the two of them communicated again about the establishment of the military command for a while, Zhang Nan's voice came in from the tent.

"Sima Zhang Nan of the Army, please see the prince"

Yuan Ping said in surprise: "Why is he here?"

Yuan Xi was also a little curious and whispered to the outside: "Come in."

"No!" After Zhang Nan walked into the tent, he immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Greetings to the young master, the fifth master"

"Sima Zhang doesn't have to be too polite, please stand up," Yuan Xi said in a gentle tone.

"Young Master Xie" Zhang Nan stood up, quickly took out the small bamboo slip from his pocket, and whispered: "Young Master, I will report some important things to you."

After Yuan Ping stepped forward to take it, he personally handed it to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi opened the bamboo slips with a little confusion and looked at them. His eyes immediately condensed. He saw that Jiao Chu and the six military marquis had embezzled military pay, and they were very detailed and careful, even specifically on which day, which matter, and what kind of name had been committed to embezzlement.

Zhang Nan looked at Yuan Xi with a blank expression and felt very nervous. Drops of sweat had appeared on his forehead. He knew that his move was very risky, but he wanted to bet once, and winning the bet might change his saint.

After Yuan Xi finished reading it slowly, he smiled slightly: "You have checked it carefully!"

Zhang Nan was stunned. Isn’t Yuan Xi very angry after reading this bamboo slip? How could he be so calm?

"Young Master, I shouldn't have recorded these things secretly, but I only have loyalty in my heart, not anyone else," Zhang Nan quickly explained loudly.

"Haha, don't be nervous. You did a good job in this matter. This young master clearly distinguishes one reward and punishment, and will not harm the heroes. You go down first. Let me think about this matter." Yuan Xi laughed loudly and said.

"Yes!" Zhang Nan slowly retreated out in confusion and puzzled.

"Second brother, what is this?" Yuan Ping asked curiously after seeing Zhang Nan leave.

Yuan Xi handed the bamboo slips over directly and said with a smile: "Look at it."

After Yuan Ping took it, his pupils shrank, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face. Looking at Jiao Tu's corruption in his military pay, he felt cold in his heart. This Zhang Nan was too cruel. For his own power, he actually regarded him as his brother Jiao Tu as a bargaining chip for promotion.

"Have you finished reading?" Yuan Xi asked softly.

Yuan Ping nodded and said with some concern: "Second brother, what are you going to do?"

"It's just a few thousand coins, it's nothing. Jiao Chu is loyal to me, and this military pay is not worth mentioning." Yuan Xi smiled indifferently. Jiao Chu is now loyal to him to more than ninety. Not to mention that he used to embezzle a little money or kill someone, he wouldn't take it seriously.

"Second brother, wise" When Yuan Ping heard this, he felt relieved and said softly: "Although Captain Jiao had imagined corruption before, it can be clearly seen from this that he has not beenhaved like this recently. It is obvious that Captain Jiao has completely returned to his elder brother."

"Yes, so I pretend that this incident has not happened before. I am very interested in Zhang Nan now," Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"What!" Yuan Ping suddenly became anxious and said quickly: "Second brother, this person is speculative, he has two sides and three swords, so he should not be reused!"

"So bad!" Yuan Xi smiled and said softly: "Fifth brother, everyone has their own abilities, it depends on how you use it. Zhang Nan can make Zhongsheng trust so much, so naturally there is something extraordinary. And you looked at the above content carefully, and even wrote the corruption one by one on it one by one. It shows that this person has the carefulness of a military general who does not have. For the sake of power and ambition, he dared to hand over this thing to me personally, which shows that he has the decisiveness and ruthlessness of doing great things. He is only talented in troubled times. Although he is not suitable to be a soldier, there are indeed many positions suitable for him."

"What position?" Yuan Ping said in confusion.

"I need to consider this. You will come to him in person later, give him some condolences on my behalf, and tell him that this matter is done very well, let him wait, don't worry, I will give him a chance." Yuan Xi smiled slightly, holding the key to the hidden dragon, even Yuan Ping, the future killing god, can firmly control it, let alone Zhang Nan.

"Yes, second brother" Yuan Ping responded helplessly.

"Report!!" At this time, a guard suddenly rushed in.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Young Master, news came from the mansion that the lord will rush back to Yecheng in two days and ask you to go back immediately and prepare to pick you up."
