Chapter 241

"Could it be that I must join the military camp?"

Jia Hui heard the dilemma.

"My Lord, I believe you need someone by your side at all times to offer strategies. Both Gongtai and Zitong are away on official business."

"Therefore, I recommend myself, willing to follow by your side at all times."

Cheng Yu, who had been silent until now, finally spoke!

His expressions were rich when he spoke; at first glance, he seemed like a man without a hidden agenda, but those who knew him were all aware of the sharpness of the dagger hidden in his smile.

Jia Hui laughed: "Good, let it be so!"

Although he thought.

As for the strategist.

He felt that the 'Poisonous Strategist' Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai were more suitable to follow by his side, responsible only for offering strategies without needing to handle administrative affairs.

Cheng Yu was clearly better suited for external assignments.

However, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and the others had not been drawn yet.

He could only wait for the future.

For now, this would suffice.

"And what of Mao Jie?"

"My Lord, I am willing to find a powerful official outside, lurk by their side, develop slowly, and wait for the right moment to coordinate with you!"

Mao Jie clearly had an idea as well.

His words startled Jia Hui.

It was not that he worried Mao Jie would run away if he left.

But after thinking about it.

He felt this was the most suitable arrangement.

Currently, Jia Hui was mainly restricted because of his status as a military officer.

There were truly not many civil official positions he could arrange that were worth mentioning.

The City Guard already had two great masters.

He also had one by his side.

As for the military camp, with Zhang Liao and the others there, it was truly unnecessary.

After all, it was not an army of over a hundred thousand or several hundred thousand; in that case, having a top-tier civil strategist following along could help and play the role it should.

Therefore.

The only path left was to go out and develop!

As for Mao Jie being a commoner? Would he be unable to rise?

Ridiculous!

The upright and honest Mao Jie, at his peak, served as Minister of Personnel and Secretariat Chancellor.

There is no need to elaborate on the Minister of Personnel.

And the Secretariat Chancellor was the deputy official of the Secretariat; after the Secretariat Director became a nominal position, the Secretariat Chancellor became the head of the Secretariat, becoming the de facto Chief Chancellor in the early Tang Dynasty and late Northern Song Dynasty.

Such a top-tier talent.

Even if he went to take the imperial examinations.

He could easily take the top three spots!

Therefore, there was no need to worry about him failing to thrive.

Even if he fell on hard times, it would only be temporary.

And when necessary, Jia Hui and the others would secretly assist him.

Having arranged the appointments for everyone.

After making proper arrangements, Jia Hui thought for a moment.

He thought of one matter.

Thus, he immediately told everyone about the "Night Revelry Painting" affair, "Gentlemen, what do you think should be done?"

【167】 This Marquis intends to whip and educate them all night; Liu Wu'er and Xiao Die!

Jia Hui had a secret discussion with Chen Gong and the others for over two hours.

The time had already reached ten-ten.

After Chen Gong and the others dispersed.

He finally came out.

Hearing the commotion, Sister Xiren, Yuanyang, and Ping'er, the three maids, came out from the side room of the main courtyard.

They all looked at the figures of these people with great surprise.

"Why were there so many people, and when did they arrive?"

Ping'er asked in confusion.

Yuanyang followed by looking at Sister Xiren.

Sister Xiren said in astonishment: "I don't know; I only recognize Mr. Chen Gong and Zang Ba and a few others; I have never seen the others before."

"Since that is the case, do not ask about what you should not ask. If the Marquis wants us to know, he will naturally say so."

Yuanyang said, being extremely sensible.

Jia Mu was a shrewd person who had long since seen through the ways of the world. She understood the gains, losses, deficits, and surpluses of her own household clearly, and Yuanyang, being clever and having been influenced by her surroundings, also saw things very clearly as a bystander.

Sister Xiren and Ping'er both nodded.

Before long.

Seeing Jia Hui also come out.

They all immediately gathered around.

"Marquis, is it time to return to the room to rest?"

"Or should we call which concubine to accompany you, or go to another concubine's place?"

Sister Xiren asked.

Jia Hui thought for a moment.

Being a man of hot blood, he naturally could not let himself sleep alone.

Seeking Xichun was impossible.

She was still too young.

Although she was a concubine, she still needed to be nurtured.

Although Yan Shi and Diao Chan were stunningly beautiful, he had already been with them once.

There were still many in the household who had not yet been "opened."

Therefore, he naturally had to.

Whip and educate them one by one.

He thought for a moment and said, "You Shi was frightened today, so let's go to her place to rest."

After thinking, he added: "Call Concubine Yan and Concubine Diao as well... I will teach them to play cards all night!"

"Very well."

Sister Xiren and the others were surprised, blushing as they agreed.

Subsequently, they immediately called a few young maids to go and pass the message first.

The night passed without incident.

Jia Hui played until three in the morning before falling asleep.

The next morning.

Once again, early in the morning, he was woken up at five o'clock.

Although he had only slept for two hours.

Jia Hui felt he had already slept enough.
