Xiao Xu, the ambassador of the Jiangxi Observation Embassy, angrily pushed open the door of Qian Wenxi's public hall, and walked in in a daze, but at a glance he saw Qian Shouyi discussing with Qian Wenxi inside, paused for a moment, stood on the ground, and arched his hand to the two.

Qian Wenzhong went to Guangzhou, and now all government and military affairs in Jiangxi are managed by Qian Wenxi, and Qian Shouyi should not have been lifted by Qian Wenzhong yet, but seeing Qian Shouyi here, it is obvious that the other party did not obey Qian Wenzhong's orders. But since Qian Wenxi didn't care, Xiao Xu naturally wouldn't be troublesome.

"Ambassador Xiao, what's wrong? So angry? Qian Shouyi stood up with a smile and returned the salute to Xiao Xu.

Xiao Xu walked up to the two of them and said angrily: "Is Xiang Jun here to help us fight the Northern Tang Army, or is he here to deliberately trouble us?" ”

"What do you mean?" Qian Wenxi asked, "What excessive demands did he make?" ”

"The food is fully supplied, the pigs and sheep can be found, I have sent them all, the charcoal is also doing my best, every day there are thousands of people, constantly to their army to operate things, a little accumulation in my treasury, is rapidly decreasing, that's it, today actually sent someone again, asking me to send five hundred jars of good wine to his army." Xiao Xu slammed the table fiercely and said, "I said that I want to keep out the cold, I'm sorry, can I drink alcohol in the army?" We don't have any wine in our storey. Not much liquor, which was used to disinfect wounded soldiers. When I said no, the leader of his own soldiers spoke ill of him, saying that he would not leave if he did not give it. Where do you make a fuss about me! ”

Qian Wending and Qian Shouyi glanced at each other, and Qian Wenxi said, "Give it to him." ”

"Judge Qian, where did I get so much drink?" Xiao Xu shouted, "Those spirits were brought from the north with great difficulty, they can save lives, and even the observers are reluctant to drink them." ”

"You go to Xiaoyao Building, look for the shopkeeper, where they are, there should be some accumulation, in addition, search all the restaurants in the city." Qian Shouyidao.

Xiao Xu was stunned: "Major General, Xiaoyao Tower is the industry of the observation envoy. ”

"When is it?" Qian Shouyi said impatiently, "Let's deal with the past first." ”

"And he will give a reward!" Xiao Xu said angrily: "Saying that they have come all the way to support us after the imperial camp, the soldiers are quite complaining, and if they don't give some rewards, I am afraid that it will cause the soldiers to mutiny, and when the time comes, there will be a military rebellion, and it will be difficult to clean up, and it will cost 100,000 taels when you open your mouth." ”

Qian Wenxi was furious: "Why is this person so ignorant of the overall situation? Resisting the Northern Tang Dynasty soldiers, is it a matter of our Jiangxi family? We poured, how much good can they have? ”

"Where are these soldiers?" Qian Shouyi sneered: "It's just that Xiang Junxiang wants to fill his pockets." Who doesn't know that the two brothers Xiang Jun and Xiang Zheng are vastly different from their eldest brother. Practicing arms warfare with real sellers, the two brothers don't help, but they still take advantage of the fire to rob, take the opportunity to lower the price, and don't even let go of his eldest brother's property, what are we? A miser, who can't pull it out in the eyes of money. ”

"Judge Qian, Major General, what should I do? To give or not to give? Xiao Xu spread his hands and said: "There is still some money, but if we open this opening, I am afraid that our own army will also be uneasy." Seeing that the New Year is approaching, it is customary for officials and troops to be rewarded again. Then I won't be able to support it. ”

Qian Wenxi glanced at Qian Shouyi.

Qian Shouyi thought for a moment, but smiled, and said: "Give him the wine first, and in addition, find a little rare treasure in the treasury and send it to Xiang Jun first, and tell him, reward the silver, we are raising it." ”

"Do you really want to give?" Xiao Xu said.

"Okay, you go ahead and do it first, and you don't care about the rest." Qian Shouyi waved his hand: "The third uncle has his own arrangements. ”

Seeing Qian Wenxi nodded, Xiao Xu turned around and left.

"Xiao Xu is a good vault!" Qian Wenxi looked at Qian Shouyi and said.

Qian Shouyi said: "I naturally know that over the years, if it weren't for his finesse, our Jiangxi treasury would not even have a single mouse, third uncle, in the future, you still have to take care of the civil affairs, I can't manage these, and I don't have the energy to manage it." Naturally, it's up to you who you use. ”

Qian Wenxi sighed: "This time your old man is back, I'm afraid that I will have the mind to skin me." ”

Qian Shouyi pulled a chair and sat opposite Qian Wenxi, and said, "Third uncle, don't worry, my father, I can't come back." ”

Qian Wenxi was startled and jumped up suddenly: "Why can't you come back?" ”

"Don't hide it from the third uncle, this time, it's not just Jiangxi that is moving." Qian Shouyi said slowly: "In Guangzhou City, General Xiang Zhen's actions are greater, if nothing else, at this time, Guangzhou City should have fallen into the hands of General Xiang Zhen." And now those festival envoys and observation envoys who are in Guangzhou City, I am afraid that none of them will be able to come back. ”

"Xiang really dares to attack such people? Isn't he afraid of devouring himself? Shouyi, I tell you, if Xiang Zhen dares to attack your father, I will never be polite, and when the time comes, you don't blame me. Qian Wenxi's eyes widened and glared at Qian Shouyi angrily: "You already knew about this, why didn't you tell your father?" That's your dad. ”

Qian Shouyi smiled slightly: "Third uncle, you think too much." My father's trip was thrilling, and because I was one of General Xiang Zhen's allies, my father would be treated more courteously in Guangzhou City. It's just that he can't go back to Jiangxi. Third uncle, think about it, if my father comes back, what will happen to me? What will happen to you? Isn't all this that we have painstakingly planned to come to naught? ”

"Do you really want to put some people like your father under house arrest in Guangzhou City?" Qian Wenxi asked in a trembling voice.

"It's too ugly to say that house arrest!" Qian Shouyi said: "After General Xiang Zhen grasps the power, he will carry out a major cleanup of the Guangzhou Imperial Court, and when the time comes, it will naturally vacate a lot of important positions." It's the best place to place these people. It is not a problem to be placed in the title of king and knight. They will not be less in terms of political treatment, except that they cannot leave the city of Guangzhou. ”

"I see!" Qian Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief.

"When the exact news came from Guangzhou, I sent him a few of my father's favorite concubines, and his favorite cook, which must make my father feel at home in Guangzhou." Qian Shouyi said with a smile: "Third uncle, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who is disobedient and unfilial. ”

Qian Wenxi glanced at him: "You seem to be a filial son." ”

Qian Shouyi laughed: "Compared to General Xiang Zhen, I am really." ”

Qian Wenxi's heart tightened: "In this way, if Xiang Zhen succeeds, wouldn't Xiang Xun be a handsome?" ”

"What's the need to say?" Qian Shouyi said: "We can't control the affairs of Guangzhou City, and we can't manage it, third uncle, what we need to do now is to do our own things here." Tonight, I am going to have a banquet for Xiang Jun and his generals. ”

"Is this going to be done? Are the people you are talking about reliable? Qian Wenxi was still uneasy.

"Since it's a list provided to General Zhenda, I think there should be no problem." Qian Shouyi said: "The military deployment on our side will bother the third uncle." ”

"You're not going to talk to those people anymore?" Qian Wenxi asked.

Qian Shouyi shook his head: "Since it is General Xiang Zhen's person, then once I launch it, these people will naturally know what is going on, ventilate in advance, if the wind leaks and Xiang Jun smells it, it will be really difficult to do." ”

"The arrow is ready to be sent." Qian Wenxi looked at Qian Shouyi and said, "But Shouyi, I always feel that you still have some things you haven't told me, what are you still hiding?" ”

"When everything is settled here, I will tell you some other things to the third uncle, and it is really not appropriate to tell you now." Qian Shouyi said calmly: "It's not that I don't believe in the third uncle, but this matter is interlocking, and if there is a problem in any link, all the plans will come to naught." And these things don't just involve our Jiangxi family, but also ask the third uncle to forgive him, and when all the conditions are ready, Shouyi will explain all the next plans to the third uncle as soon as possible. Qian Shouyi said.

Qian Wenxi nodded: "Well, since I have already walked on this road with you, where is there a way back?" ”

It is more than ten miles away from Jiangzhou City, and the battalion of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Xiang Jun from Lingnan is stationed here. At this time, snow seeds were falling in the sky, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of white, but on the road, there was a muddy and endless stream of people, who were sending all kinds of material resources into the camp.

Inside, in the big tent of the Chinese army, in the thick tent, in the four large braziers, the silver charcoal is burning silently, making the inside of the big tent warm and melting. Xiang Junzheng and several generals admired the two gifts just sent by the Jiangxi Observation Embassy.

One is a three-foot-tall fiery red coral, and the other is three night pearls the size of a dragon's eye in a box.

Either way, it's a rare treasure in the world.

"Qian Wenzhong has been sitting in Jiangxi for decades, and his family is rich!" Xiang Jun looked at the people proudly: "This time, let's come over, we can't go back empty-handed, and we will definitely let your purses go back bulging." ”

The generals in the house laughed in unison, and you began to tout Xiang Jun's wealth as soon as he said a word, and they were all thinking about how to squeeze another sum of money from Jiangxi Observation Embassy, so that everyone could make a windfall.

"Today, Qian Shouyi will have a banquet for us, except for the generals on duty, everyone else will go." Xiang Jun took a few crystal clear beads in his hand and wandered around, "No matter what kind of doctrine Qian Shouyi fights, we must also make him vomit blood." ”
