Chapter 364 The best of both worlds
He was simply grateful for his reminder, which allowed him to see the true coldness and viciousness of human nature.

Let him not be kept in the dark and die in a more cowardly and regretful manner.

However, in the entire military supplies and medicinal materials incident, Zhang Mingxin acted as An Jingzhong's minion and lackey.

Zhang Mingxin's evil is no less than An Jingzhong's, and may even be more.

Such a person does not deserve to be thanked.

In the distance, Cen Ying, who was dressed as a man, saw this scene with a sneer on her face, "I just got here and saw such a good show. This military camp is more lively than I imagined."

"Yes." Xiao Luoan nodded with a smile, "But this is just the beginning."

"Just at the beginning?" Xu Chong at the side was a little surprised, "Your Highness means, there is more to come?"

"Yes, and each one is more lively and exciting than the last." Xiao Luoan said with a smile.

Xu Chong was immediately delighted when he heard this.

He originally thought that being in the army would be extremely boring, but now it seems that there are many interesting things.

Cen Ying lowered her eyes.

The more lively it is, the more it shows that the situation here is unstable and there are many conflicts. Then, Your Highness...

However, considering His Highness' current situation, the more chaotic the situation is, the more beneficial it may be to him.

And she only needs to ensure the safety of His Highness.
-
Because of Zhang Mingxin's farce, the whole situation became a mess.

Everyone has different thoughts and expressions.

An Leiting had no intention of thinking about anything else. He just ordered his men to chop off Zhang Mingxin's head and hang it on the arrow tower outside the military camp, and then had the body thrown into the mountains.

He did not even bother to let An Jingzhong apologize in front of everyone, plead guilty to dereliction of duty, and win over the hearts of the troops. Instead, he simply said a few words about the relevant punishment for An Jingzhong and let everyone go.

Afterwards, An Leiting took An Jingzhong and Zhuo Dingsheng back to his tent.

Seeing An Leiting frowning, Zhuo Dingsheng said, "Perhaps Zhang Mingxin is just bluffing."

A dying person is already beyond help, so in order to prevent the other person from feeling happy, some people may say some harsh words to make him feel upset.

They are all veterans and are not surprised by these things.

"I hope so." An Leiting nodded slightly, but the gloom on his face did not dissipate at all.

Zhuo Dingsheng thought for a moment and then said, "Commander, I have something to say..."

"You go ahead." An Leiting raised his hand. "There's no need to be so formal and polite between you and me."

"The Third Prince came prepared. He even checked Xue Yi's affiliation and the forces behind the Zhao family. This seems a bit deliberate."

Zhuo Dingsheng said anxiously, "Maybe I am just too suspicious. I always feel that the commander pushed Zhang Mingxin out like this. Isn't he trusting the Third Prince too much?"

"I have thought about this as well." An Leiting said, "But since the Third Prince wants to win me over for the Second Prince, he should at least send me some gifts. We are all sons of the royal family. We have experienced open and covert struggles since childhood and are well versed in officialdom. We are naturally more sensitive to these things and more adept at them than we are."

"Furthermore, if the Third Prince really wants to set a trap for us, it will do him all kinds of harm and no benefits. It is not worth it, so he probably won't do that."

"What's more, whether the Third Prince comes or not, and whether he finds out anything about the Wen family, I also intend to get rid of Zhang Mingxin."

Seeing Zhuo Dingsheng remained silent, An Leiting continued in a low voice, "This Zhang Mingxin follows Jingzhong and knows so many things. It is hard to guarantee that he will not have other thoughts in the future. If that day really comes, it will be a real disaster."

Zhuo Dingsheng paused for a long time and nodded slightly, "The commander is right. Zhang Mingxin not only failed to persuade Jingzhong to learn military tactics and improve his martial arts, but instead allowed him to do these dirty things. This is indeed extremely inappropriate."

"I was the one who promoted Zhang Mingxin, but he turned out to be so useless!" An Leiting was getting more and more annoyed, and sighed, "It's really too difficult to find someone to be with Jingzhong..."

An Jingzhong is stupid. As a father, he wants to teach him, but most of the time he fails to teach him clearly. He is also very busy and often lacks energy.

If he could find a likable person to stay by An Jingzhong's side and teach and advise him from time to time, it would probably be better.

Seeing An Leiting's gloomy expression, Zhuo Dingsheng thought for a while and then suggested, "After Zhang Mingxin's death, the deputy commander beside Jingzhong will be vacant. Why not send a reliable and outstanding person to follow Jingzhong, so that the commander can relax a little."

"That's right. You hit the nail on the head." An Leiting saw that Zhuo Dingsheng had the same idea as him, and the feeling of mutual respect between them became stronger. But he sighed, "It's easy to say. Finding such a person is probably..."

An Leiting paused and looked at Zhuo Dingsheng, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"

"I can't say he's a perfect fit, but given the current situation, no one is more suitable than him."

"who is it?"

"Lu Qiyan." Zhuo Dingsheng said, "I have observed him carefully during this period. Although Lu Qiyan is only two years older than Jingzhong, he is rare in maturity and stability. He is thoughtful and thoughtful. The soldiers under him also praise him. Moreover, Lu Qiyan is very skilled, better than me, and can also give Jingzhong some advice on weekdays..."

"No, I don't want Lu Qiyan to be my deputy commander!" An Jingzhong shouted angrily, shaking his head like a rattle.

Lu Qiyan was previously entrusted by his father to investigate the matter of military supplies and medicinal materials. It was all thanks to him that Zhang Mingxin fell into this state, but now he wants to take over Zhang Mingxin's job?
How is this possible?

Moreover, Lu Qiyan was trusted by his father and would definitely be on the same page with his father in the future. He would be under strict supervision and he would not be able to have any freedom...

No, absolutely not.

Lu Qiyan must not be allowed to be his deputy commander!
Seeing An Jingzhong's strong objection, An Leiting narrowed his eyes instead, ignored An Jingzhong, and just smiled at Zhuo Dingsheng, "You and I really think alike, I also think Lu Qiyan is good."

In addition to the advantages mentioned by Zhuo Dingsheng, the most important thing is that An Jingzhong does not like Lu Qiyan.

Firstly, the two of them will not collude with each other, and the messy scenes that happened when Zhang Mingxin was still around will not happen again.

Secondly, he had always been very optimistic about Lu Qiyan and wanted to make use of him, but he was also worried that Lu Qiyan would become disloyal after becoming powerful and would be difficult to control.

But if Lu Qiyan followed An Jingzhong, it would be different.

One plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop. They don't need to collude with each other beforehand. They can use both kindness and force to keep Lu Qiyan firmly in their hands.

Best of both worlds!

The more An Leiting thought about it, the more satisfied he felt. "That's it. Immediately issue an order to appoint Lu Qiyan as the deputy commander of the Shenwu Army and to be Jingzhong's right-hand man!"
