Chapter 0208 Tongguan garrison

After Chen Dulang killed Meng Yin, he received two rewards, one for the Queen Mother's money and one for the Lu family's money.

Of course, he didn't swallow it alone, gave Xiao Xianmei some money, and planned to leave the Central Plains, either to live in the rich Southern Jin Dynasty, or to cross the ocean to live in the South China Sea. In short, he will never have to worry about having no money to spend in his future life, which makes him full of longing for the future.

But the moment before he left Zhengzhou, he was suddenly targeted by a man with cold eyes.

He walked three streets in a row, and he couldn't shake this man off, he knew that he had encountered a hard stubble today, and it seemed that he might not be able to meet him head-on.

When he came to a secluded alley, he suddenly stopped leaving, turned his head and said, "Which way did Your Excellency go?" ”

"On the path of hell." The man walked over, with a long and thin face and a gloomy gaze, like a hound.

"Could it be Shanxi's handmaiden? Seeking wealth or asking for people? Chen Dulang could judge that this Rao martial arts was not under him through this Rao breath, and he gritted his teeth.

"I don't want either."

"And what do you want to do?"

"Please do something."

"Let's hear it."

"Kill Tang Xiao."

"I'm sorry. I can't take on this task. It's not that I don't like money, it's that I don't have enough ability. Chen Dulang was not interested in this task, because this assassination of Meng Yin was already a life of nine deaths, and he was lucky to survive because of Meng Zong's "help", otherwise he would never have succeeded.

Killers, when they don't have money, are extremely vicious, but when they have money, they won't be so desperate.

It's like a barefoot person who is not afraid to wear shoes, and now that he has become a person who wears shoes, he has concerns.

As long as you leave here with your money, how nourishing your life will be in the second half of your life, and it will make you happy to think about it, who is willing to work hard at this time?

"Of course, I know it's not a good task, so I'm not going to leave you alone. I can tell you in advance, and this mission will be successful. And you killers, I am sure to send you out of Luoyang City. The black-faced man sneered and said, "You can't refuse my invitation, can you understand what I said?" ”

Chen Dulang felt threatened, and tightened the package on his shoulders, half of his money was in this package, and the other half, he had already let his family carry it to the south.

It's impossible for someone like him to put all the money together.

"You want to break the rules of the Green Forest Road?" Chen Dulang narrowed his eyes.

"What are rules?" The black dog face said: "Whoever has money is the rule; Whoever has the most power is the rule; I can control your life and death now, and I am your rule. ”

"Don't be too arrogant." Chen Dulang pulled out the knife: "It's not been a year or two since I, Chen Dulang, became famous, even if I am not your opponent, I can leave a few scars on you, believe it or not?" ”

"The number one killer in Datong Mansion, if you desperately want to abolish a person, it is really not difficult. Of course I believe you have the strength, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you as an outlaw. With that, the black dog face took out three fingers from his arms, judging from the size, it seemed to be a female finger, and the fingers of two children, and there was also a package, which contained all large-denomination silver tickets.

"You!" Chen Dulang suddenly felt numb in his spine, could it be that this person had already arrested his daughter-in-law and children?

"You guessed it right." The black dog said: "But don't worry, I just chopped off their fingers, and I will never ask for their lives, if you definitely listen to me, I will not only release people, but also return the money to you without a penny, in addition, I can also help you realize your wishes, give you customs clearance, and let you swagger to the Southern Jin Dynasty." ”

"Who are you? Who told you to come to me. ”

"People on the road are used to calling me Xiao Wujian."

"Huh?"

The name Xiao Wujian is a big name in the killer world, although he is not very old, but his skills and methods have surpassed ordinary nine-rank masters.

A nine-rank swordsman like Wolf Tooth and Ji Yifa may not be able to stop him.

He has been rumored to be a god-like figure in the killer world, and in addition to the four great grandmasters, I am afraid that he is the most terrifying.

"Oh, it's half-done, it turned out to be Brother Xiao, I knew it was you, why bother. Your sister Xiao Xianmei and I have just completed the task together, and our cooperation is very pleasant. Chen Dulang smiled reluctantly.

"If you hadn't worked together, I didn't know it would be nice to work with you." Xiao Wujian sneered.

Chen Dulang gritted his teeth.

——

As soon as he entered Beijing, he immediately received an edict from the Queen Mother, asking him to enter the palace, and His Majesty the Emperor would personally set up a banquet for the Great Sima to receive the wind and wash the dust.

At the banquet, before Da Sima spoke, Empress Dowager Cao opened her mouth to blame the emperor, and made a decision to explain to Da Sima about the garrison of Chang'an and Tongguan, Chang'an's soldiers have been withdrawn, and now they are also stationed in Tongguan, Tongguan is a fortress west of Luoyang, I think Da Sima will not be dissatisfied because the Xuanjia Army is stationed in Tongguan.

Empress Dowager Cao is playing tricks, taking the initiative to take a step back and give face to Da Sima.

However, Tang Zhen didn't appreciate it, and said directly: "If the Xuanjia Army increases its strength by 20,000, then my Shence Army suddenly expands the defense area, should it also expand its troops?" But now that the Hexi region is barren and in ruins, how can it support so much military spending? Therefore, the tax revenue in the Longyou region should be increased to the army. ”

Empress Dowager Cao said: "Listen to the imperial history, the Longyou region is heavy on taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people are miserable, and the mourning family is planning to reduce the tax burden in the Longyou region in the next three years, and intends to recall the Liao envoy Wuqiu Jian to rectify the government affairs of the Longyou region, and also hope that the great Sima will support it." ”

Tang Zhendao: "Supporting benevolent government is naturally due, but the problem of the Tongguan garrison has not been solved, I think this is because the Empress Dowager Cao is deliberately suppressing our Tang family, which will make the Tang family's hundreds of thousands of soldiers chill." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Cao was like a backwater, and said: "Then the mourning family will first let Zhao Guangli arrange the troops to Hongnong, and Tongguan will not send troops for the time being." ”

When it comes to this, it is already the bottom line of the Queen Mother, Tang Zhen can't, and even Hongnong won't let the Xuanjia Army station, then I'm afraid it will tear your face.

When the Queen Mother was talking to Da Sima, Emperor Zhao Ce and Empress Tang Qi, who were sitting on the side, looked gloomy and had no chance to interject.

It wasn't until Da Sima nodded that Tang Qi, who was sitting behind the curtain, spoke: "My father-in-law is very old, and he also led troops on an expedition to Hexi, destroying the city and uprooting the village all the way, which is really hard. ”
