Whether it is to put Nangong Shang in an equal position with Zhang Qian, or to subordinate him to Li Guang, it is inevitable to offend Zhang Qian, as for Nangong Shang to directly obey Liu Che's orders, it is a bit nonsense, it is impossible. Liu Checai handed over the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team to Zhang Qian, and at this time, the order was changed for no reason, and I was afraid that it would not work for any reason.

"The reason why I tell you this is nothing more than to give you a hope, now it is not realistic to do this, since entering Chang'an, the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team have not made an inch, where is there still capital to pick and choose? When you have made great progress in the grassland, it will be easy to talk about the things that will happen later. Moreover, now that Your Majesty has asked Dr. Zhang to take you, a large part of the reason is that Dr. Zhang has just come back and has no subordinates, and he has worked the grassland for more than ten years, and he has intersected with His Majesty, how can His Majesty not give him a chance to mix the credits? When Dr. Zhang has accumulated enough credit for you, His Majesty will naturally reuse him. Qin Cheng turned the tea bowl slightly, his eyes looking directly at Nangong Shang, "Doctor Zhang may have been more mobile in the past two days, people have disappeared in the Han Dynasty for ten years, you still don't allow people to toss it now?" When it's really time to do something, I dare to pack a ticket with you, and Dr. Zhang won't drag you back......"

Qin Cheng persuaded him with a "bitter heart", Nangong Shang was a little embarrassed, in the end, he was actually not able to adapt to doing things separately from Qin Cheng for a while, and he had to bear the burden of the entire Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team alone, how could there be no pressure? Besides, the place where the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team operated before was just a county, and there was also the county guard of Qincheng to take care of the matter if it was smashed, and now that it is in the center, the scene it faces is countless times larger, and these things are the source of pressure from Nangong Shang. When people are under pressure, they will naturally have more scruples, the relationship between Qin Cheng and Nangong Shang is there, who will he go to talk to if he doesn't talk to Qin Cheng now? If Nangong Shangzhen was doing these things alone in Chang'an, he would not necessarily say today's words to others, and the possibility of retiring was very small.

People are like this, with a lining, they forget how to walk without a lining.

"It's me Meng Lang, in fact, I don't really plan to leave it alone, after all, you and Le Yi are here......" Nangong Shang said with his head tilted, and his expression looked a little like a child who had done something wrong.

"In the future, the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team will be responsible for it alone, I and the hussar battalion have no direct relationship with you now, and it is inconvenient for me to talk about these things in the future, people are terrible, that is, I don't care about the eyes of some ill-intentioned ministers in the court, and I also have to consider Your Majesty's feelings, and I can't help but avoid suspicion." Qin Cheng said again, with a thick helplessness between his eyebrows.

Qin Cheng thought of Huo Quai, who sealed the wolf Juxu, this guy ran thousands of miles deep into the desert every time, but none of them got lost, and they could basically accurately find the royal courts of the Xiongnu tribes, I don't know if it was also a good intelligence work? Or is it the right one for the guide every time?

Nangong Shang, who was enlightened by Qin Cheng, did not stay in Qin Mansion that night, and rushed back overnight to arrange work. Before going to bed, Bai Xinxin, who was lying on the floor, said to Qin Cheng: "Has the general forgotten something?" ”

"What?"

"I remember that when I left Shanggu, Lao Huang of the medical hall asked you to bring a package to his deceased in Chang'an, and now that package is still with us, the general won't forget about it, right?" Bai Xinxin didn't dare to get too close to Qin Cheng, for fear of touching his wound, so when he spoke, he simply leaned sideways and pillowed his head with his hands, looking at Qin Cheng.

"If you don't say it, I've really forgotten about it." Qin Cheng patted his forehead, thinking of Lao Huang and Xiaolou, he smiled a little apologetically, "I've been busy with the affairs of the military camp since I arrived in Chang'an, and I finally took a vacation and went back to intrigue with the prime minister, but I squeezed out this matter." ”

Bai Xinxin smiled and brushed the black hair covering her cheeks, "Now that the general's situation in Chang'an has finally been completely opened, it is also the turn of these private matters." ”

"Hmm." Qin Cheng nodded, "Speaking of private matters, you go and pick up my sister tomorrow, it's rare that I have a long vacation now, so let's get together." ”

"Okay."

After resting at home for a few days and being able to walk normally, Qin Cheng took the package handed over to him by Lao Huang and got into a carriage and headed to the west of the city.

The package is not big, looking at the shape, it should be a wooden box inside, Qin Cheng has no habit of peeping into people's privacy, so he casually put the package aside and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

The destination of this trip is not inside the city, but outside the city, in fact, most of the residential areas of ordinary people are outside the city. The space in the city is limited, Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace occupy half of it, plus the arsenal, the east and west cities, and the residences of some princes, nobles, dignitaries, and dignitaries, ordinary people naturally can't fit much.

The residence of the old Huang is on the edge of the residential area, the outskirts of the city, almost to the bank of the Weishui River, it is a bumpy road, and the speed of the carriage cannot be too fast, but it takes a lot of time. After getting off the carriage, the breather felt refreshed by the fresh local air of this era, but the cold wind blowing from Weishui was still cold. Looking at the lonely and somewhat dilapidated courtyard not far away, Qin Cheng couldn't help but shake his head, and said in his heart that either this family was indeed poor, or the people who lived here were extraordinary.

It turned out that Qin Cheng was not bad.

The courtyard enclosed by the fence can prevent chickens and dogs from stealing, and in some places even chickens and dogs can easily cross, but the anti-theft function is obviously not needed, and any thief will not have the desire to steal from this family.

Thatched roofs, cracked walls, and a few puddles of vegetables make it impossible to tell whether it is vegetables or grass. Qin Cheng asked the servant Sanzi to call the door, and the third son shouted several times without anyone responding, just when Qin Cheng and Sanzi thought that the master was not there, the door was opened. The stiff creaking sound made one wonder if the door hadn't been opened in a long time.

This reminded Qin Cheng of a sentence: The flower path has never been swept by guests, and the Pengmen is now open for you. Although this sentence was very appropriate, because this poem was distorted into another evil meaning in later generations, it made Qin Cheng feel a burst of hair in his heart when he recalled it.

The door was first opened a gap, and it stopped for a while before it was completely opened, and an elegant middle-aged man dressed in a plain robe and neatly dressed walked out. The emaciated middle-aged man went out and bowed to Qin Cheng and the others when he was still a few steps away from the courtyard gate, "I don't know what a few people are here?" I guess I'm going to the wrong door, right? ”

Qin Cheng felt that the other party's opening remarks were interesting, seeing that he didn't look like he was going to come over and open the door, he didn't care, and arched his hand: "Your Excellency is Dou Fei?" ”

The middle-aged man was slightly surprised, and returned the salute: "It's just below, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" "Still didn't mean to open the door.

"Qin came from Shanggu and was entrusted by Huang Langzhong to bring a thing to Your Excellency." When Qin Cheng said this, he remembered that he didn't know Lao Huang's name, so he sweated silently first.

If Dou Fei was only slightly surprised when he learned that Qin Cheng was coming to find him, then when he learned that Qin Cheng was entrusted by Lao Huang, Dou Fei's reaction could only be described as a ghost, and his expression was shocked and surprised to the extreme.

Qin Cheng waited for a while, and was shocked to see that the other party was patronizing him, and he forgot to invite himself into the door, so he had to cough twice.

Dou Fei reacted from seeing the ghost, and quickly ran over to open the courtyard door for Qin Cheng, although whether this door could not be opened had little impact on Qin Cheng walking in, but his speed, compared with the previous slow method, was a little unacceptable.

"Come in quickly, talk in the house, there is a lot of neglect, forgive sins, forgive sins." Dou Fei apologized again and again, his eyes drifted to the package in the third son's hand, very eager, and there was a kind of expectation that people couldn't look at directly.

"Oh, this is what Lao Huang asked Qin to bring." Qin Cheng saw that the other party was so unreserved, so he didn't wait to enter the house, so he took the package from the third son and handed it to Dou Fei.

Dou Fei took the package, the eagerness in his eyes did not decrease but increased, and he hurriedly greeted Qin Cheng: "Please come into the house, enter the house." ”

Qin Cheng frowned, and there was already a faint unhappiness in his heart. The previous guy was in a posture of not opening the door, but now he was so enthusiastic when he saw that he had something for him, and he was so naked about it before and after, which made Qin Cheng's good impression of him suddenly disappear a lot.

"Dou Jialang! Wait, Dou Jialang! At this time, there was an abrupt cry from behind Qin Cheng, a voice like a female duck.

Dou Fei followed the prestige, and saw a woman with a wide body and a fat face running over to this side regardless of her image, and immediately blushed, looking cramped and embarrassed.

"Hey, the Dou family is at home today?" There was another shout, and this time it was an old woman who ran over.

Dou Fei held the package in his arms, he didn't care about apologizing to Qin Cheng, he ran out of the courtyard first, stopped the woman who arrived first, and lowered his voice and said: "Aunt Zhang, what are you doing, there is a guest in a certain house......"

Without waiting for Dou Fei to finish speaking, Aunt Zhang said in a loud voice: "If you have a guest at home, you have to pay back my food money, this is still a month ago..... It's just a few lines of money...... "It seems that I don't know what the sound is."

"yes, and my salary! Two months ago, you asked my eldest man to repair the roof for you...... "The old woman rushed over in time.

"It's not that you don't give it, it's not a moment...... Can't you take it out......" Dou Fei said cowardly.

"If you are not at home, it will be half a month, who knows when I will see you, no, you have to give ...... today" Aunt Zhang had already pulled Dou Fei's sleeve, looking at the posture was planning to die. The people at the bottom don't have much etiquette in their behavior, because they can't take care of so much, and they have the leisure to earn food.

"Dou Fei! Haha, you're finally willing to show up? Dou Fei looked up when he heard the sound, and saw a few young people in single clothes running over in the winter, with arrogant expressions and standard ruffian movements.

When Dou Fei saw these people, he even had the heart to cry in an instant.

Qin Cheng: "......"
