Chapter Seventy-One: A Stepping Stone

Looking at Yuan Wangba, who was paralyzed with flesh, Qin Hao really couldn't cry or laugh. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the past, scholars learned the way of Confucius and Mencius, talking about sacrificing their lives to take righteousness in the world, and scholars have their own style and bones, and readers have their own discipline.

But these, in front of the greedy and death-fearing Yuan Wangba in front of him, are not even farts, what kind of bones, what kind of discipline, broken on the ground, and he can't even pick it up.

Nothing is more important than his own life, looking at this person in front of him who can't kill and can't kill, can't drive away, and is more scoundrel than a scoundrel, Yuan Wangba is also full of bitter water.

Slowly got up from under the table, straightened his clothes, looked at Qin Hao, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, if you want to provoke Liang Shan, that is your business, from now on, this mansion will not have anything to do with you.

Liang Shan and Qin Hao don't provoke, this is the only thing Yuan Wangba can do at present, pick up the teacup, take a sip of tea gently, press his fragile little heart, and clear his throat, then said:

"Qin Hao, it's okay if you want to enter the city, but from today onwards, this mansion will not look for you, and you can't find this mansion. As for the defense of Dongping Mansion, Ma Kuo has always been in charge, and it has nothing to do with this government. ā€

Pushing his responsibilities cleanly, it is indeed a good calculation, Qin Hao has no objection to this, he just looks at him with a smile, and there is a trace of endless ridicule on the corner of his mouth.

The city gate was finally slowly opened under Qin Hao's intimidation and Yuan Wangba's instructions, and Ma Kuo and Yang Zaixing were the first to enter the city, followed by Zhang Yi and them.

The place where they lived was not a post station of the government, nor a military camp of Ma Kuo, but a restaurant in the city, which looked very magnificent, with the sign of Tian Hengshan hanging on the door, and a mountain eagle spreading its wings.

Although Tian Xiaoqian has not taken care of the Tian family's industry, she is still quite familiar with this sign. Therefore, when she passed by this restaurant and saw this sign, she strongly asked Qin Hao to live here.

Qin Hao had no reason to object, so he immediately asked the shopkeeper to invite all the tenants in the restaurant to withdraw, not only exempting them from the room fee, but also making some appropriate compensation.

Those tenants were originally passers-by, and living there was not so tight in the first place, but now not only did they live for a few days, but they also had money to come, so they naturally left happily.

Qin Hao, Tian Xiaoqian, and they naturally lived in the upper room, Zhang Yi and they took care of their identity, although Qin Hao didn't say it, they consciously moved into the lower room.

There is no shortage of cooks and miscellaneous people in the restaurant, but as Qin Hao's royal cook, Lian Cheng naturally can't leave these things to them to do, but personally sits in command and consciously takes care of everyone's food and clothing.

As for Li Kui Wusong, these subordinate prisoners were locked up in the cellar of the restaurant, injured people like Lai Ba, Ye Lingshan did not heal them, and Qin Hao did not force it, so he asked the shopkeeper to find a veterinarian for them to do some simple treatment.

Rushing for many days in a row, killing for half a day last night, and then rushing again, until now, everyone has not had a good rest, even from the body of the iron horse, there are times of fatigue.

After a simple wash, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, the external defense of the restaurant was taken by Ma Kuo from the barracks, and the internal defense of the restaurant was taken care of by Zhang Yi.

Although they were as tired as Qin Hao, they still divided the people into several batches and went to rest in batches, this night they slept very deeply, and when they woke up, it was already sunset.

The dinner was made by Lian Cheng himself, and the meals were very rich, a total of twelve dishes, all of which were for Qin Haotian Xiaoqian and Yang Zaixing, and the place to eat was in the private room upstairs.

Zhang Yi and the others ate in the lobby downstairs, and the meal was relatively simple, with only three dishes, a pot of Dongpo meat, a pot of pork offal soup, and a pot of green vegetables.

The method is a little rough, far less delicate than Qin Hao's, but none of them complained, on the contrary, each of them cherished this opportunity to eat in one pot very much, and each of them consciously abided by their duties.

Ma Kuo and Zhang Yi had no intersection before, so they were not familiar with each other, but they only knew something about the past of these people.

These people were originally some unruly Jianghu people, all of them had stunts, and they were all loners, but in front of Qin Hao, a weak scholar, they were as obedient as a little sheep, and they admired Qin Hao's way of convincing people.

Picking up the wine glass, he asked Qin Hao for advice: "Brother Qin, can you tell my brother what method you used to train these people to be obedient?" ā€

Qin Hao smiled and said disapprerovingly: "Actually, there is no way, it's just that when I have time, tell them stories and let them regain their dignity as human beings." ā€

The way to convince Qin Hao is not the focus of Yang Zaixing's attention, what he is paying attention to now is the group of people who are locked up in the cellar, and after drinking a bowl of wine, he said slowly:

"Let's go to Liangshan this time, although we won a big victory, but we didn't touch the root of Liangshan, although Song Jiang took into account Li Kui's safety and let us go back to Dongping Mansion, but he will never stop there......"

Ma Kuo nodded, and then Yang Zaixing's words said: "Song Jiang will not give up and rest, that's for sure, as far as the Dongping Mansion in front of him, there will be no shortage of spies in Liangshan, Li Kui and they are in our hands, and they will definitely find ways to come to the rescue." ā€

Tian Xiaoqian was thoughtful, and asked for a long time: "Actually, there is a question, I have always been unable to understand, since Tong Guan is in Song Jiang's hands, why didn't Song Jiang exchange Tong Guan?" ā€

Tian Xiaoqian asked Qin Hao this question when she was at the Li family crossing, but Qin Hao's answer was a little vague, and he couldn't figure it out until now, you must know that the current Qin Hao is directly responsible for Zhao Liangsi.

And that Zhao Liangsi, whose original name was Ma Zhi, was Tong Guan's envoy to Liao, Mao Sui recommended himself, and proposed to support the Jurchens and jointly resist Liao's Ping Yance, Tong Guan deeply felt his talent, so he took him away from Liao, changed his name to Li Liangsi, and raised him in his own house.

Later, the situation was also as Ma Zhi expected, Wanyan Agu raised troops in Huining, and defeated the Liao army in Ningjiang Prefecture, Tong Guan saw that the time was ripe, so he took the opportunity to recommend Ma Zhi to Emperor Zhao Ji.

The Great Song courtiers, who have always had a perverted pursuit of Youzhou, were shocked when they received Ping Yance, which was definitely no less than the Longzhong pair proposed by Zhuge Liang when Liu Bei first met Zhuge Liang at that time.

Therefore, Zhao Ji didn't think about it, so he reused Ma Zhi, and gave him the surname Zhao, which was the heir of Zhao Liang, and sent Wang Shizhong, who also returned from Yandi, to serve as the prefect of Dengzhou, which opened the prelude to Lianjin's resistance to Liao.

It can be said that so far, Zhao Liangsi can be regarded as Tong Guan's retainer, so Qin Hao really has no reason not to agree to exchange Tong Guan for Li Kui Wusong and others.

Qin Hao smiled, did not answer Tian Xiaoqian's question, it was Ma Kuo who answered Tian Xiaoqian's question, holding a wine glass in his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't look at Song Jiang's benevolence, righteousness and morality, but he is a thief more than anyone else in his bones, and since he went to Liangshan, he has been seeking the court's recruitment. Whether it is Li Kui, Wu Song, or even the minions of the entire Liangshan, they are just stepping stones for him to ascend. ā€

As soon as the success is done, Tian Xiaoqian finally understands Song Jiang's intentions, for Song Jiang, Zhao'an is the most important thing, whether he can succeed in Zhao'an, Tong Guan has become an indispensable bargaining chip in his hands.
