In a big tent, Li Yanqing and the four soldiers were busy sorting out the piles of various graphic materials, which were the trophies copied by the soldiers of the intelligence battalion from the intelligence points in various Western Xia, of course, the soldiers would not sort it out, and even if the task was completed when sent to the designated big tent, a large number of the remaining cumbersome things were completed by civilian officials.

"Sort it simply, throw the worthless papers aside, and then sort out the valuable parts."

Li Yanqing pointed at everyone, and at this time, Zhao Wen looked at the piles of materials like a small mountain, his eyes showed a trace of fear, and he frowned and asked, "May I ask the main matter, must it all be sorted out today?" ”

"Of course not!"

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Let's sort it out roughly first, and then sort it out in detail after recruiting new people in a few days, these tedious and trivial things are to be done, not by you, you are only responsible for auditing." ”

At this time, a soldier appeared at the door of the tent, bowed down and saluted Li Yanqing and said, "Commander Qiqi, the marshal invites you over!" ”

Li Yanqing put down a few maps in his hand and smiled at everyone: "Everyone continue, I'll come when I go." ”

Li Yanqing got up and left the big tent, and after a while, he came to the handsome tent of the planter's road, and a personal soldier entered to report for him, and after a while, the personal soldier came out and smiled at Li Yanqing: "Li joins the army, please come in!" ”

Li Yanqing walked into the big tent, he stopped suddenly, there were two people sitting in the big tent, one was a handsome seed master, and the other person really made Li Yanqing not expect that it was Taiwei Tong Guan, when did he come to the camp?

I haven't seen Tong Guan for two years, and when he suddenly encountered, Li Yanqing had an indescribable embarrassment, but at this time he had no time to think about it, Li Yanqing had to step forward and bow down, "See Dashuai, see Taiwei Tong!" ”

Although Li Yanqing concurrently served as the commander of the intelligence battalion, he met him with the courtesy of a civilian official.

Tong Guan smiled and said, "Yanqing, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Tong Guan acted as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had happened between him and Li Yanqing, of course Li Yanqing knew that Tong Guan's city was very deep, and it was difficult to see his true thoughts from the appearance, but it was okay to do so, at least the surface would not tear his face.

"Although I haven't seen him for two years, Taiwei is still in good spirits!"

Tong Guan smiled and said to the seed master: "Li joins the army and is quite clever in archery, I don't know if the seed marshal has seen it?" ”

The planter smiled faintly, "I've heard of its name for a long time, and I've seen it with my own eyes." ”

"Yes! Sometimes I always feel that it is a pity to let Li join the army as a civilian official, and being a military general may be more able to give full play to his talent. ”

"The lieutenant still doesn't know much about Li's ability to join the army, the old man has been in the army for nearly fifty years, and it is the first time to see such a great talent as Li joining the army, and it has only been a few days since he established the intelligence department, and he has all the detailed intelligence points in Hedong in Xixia, and it is the same in the military department, and the things that have accumulated for several months have been dealt with in two days after taking office, so I really don't know whether to let him be in charge of the military department or the intelligence department, and now he is in charge of both ends, and the pressure is too great."

The seed master didn't mention the matter of the generals at all, and the implication was to ignore Tong Guan's hints, Tong Guan was secretly annoyed in his heart, but he still smiled on his face: "Those who can work harder!" ”

Tong Guan is the boss of the Seed Master Dao, if he wants to transfer Li Yanqing away or reappoint him to a military general, he doesn't need to ask for the opinion of the Seed Master Dao at all, and he can transfer Li Yanqing away with an order, the reason why he didn't do it was not because of giving the Seed Master Dao face, but because of Liang Shicheng.

Liang Shicheng has hinted at him, now Li Yanqing is his person, and hopes that Tong Guan will give face and not blame the past, which makes Tong Guan extremely annoyed in his heart, but he is helpless, he is still in an alliance with Liang Shicheng, he can't help but give this face, just use some way to express his dissatisfaction, but he doesn't dare to really embarrass Li Yanqing.

Tong Guan laughed dryly, and the topic changed, "This time, Li joined the army and seized a lot of property, which solved the urgent need of the Northwest Army, this is a great achievement, I don't know how the commander plans to commend him?" ”

Li Yanqing suddenly understood, he didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, Tong Guan originally came for the 300,000 taels of silver he had seized, and the so-called words of commending himself were actually testing whether the Seed Master Dao had reported this matter to the imperial court, Li Yanqing still remained silent, seeing how the Seed Master Dao answered.

The seed master smiled and said: "Thank you for the concern of the captain, I have reported this small victory to the Son of Heaven in time, and I also proposed in the recital that the captured property is hoped to be used as a supplement to the military expenses of the Northwest Army, and I hope that the Son of Heaven can agree." ”

Planter Dao ginger is old and spicy, of course he knows that the purpose of Tong Guan's trip is to take away all the gold and silver seized, how is this possible, how can such a huge wealth not be handed over to the imperial court?

If he allows Tong Guan to take away his belongings, he gets the benefits, but the responsibility is borne by himself, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

The seed master Dao directly moved the Son of Heaven out and let Tong Guan watch it himself?

Sure enough, when Tong Guan heard that the Seed Master Dao had reported to the Son of Heaven, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly for a while: "I'm afraid that the imperial court will deduct our military expenses!" ”

"We can't do anything about how the imperial court decides, but after all, this wealth is huge, if you conceal it and don't report it, once it is known by the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid you and I can't afford to be guilty."

"Is there an inventory of this batch of gold and silver?"

Seed Master Dao took a booklet from the table and handed it to Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing forwarded it to Tong Guan, Tong Guan took the inventory and opened it and took a look, 320,000 taels of silver, 16,500 taels of gold, 7,400 hectares of land, and 344 pieces of jewelry.

"So be it! The Shaanxi Army's funds are extremely tight, and the generals and civilian officials have no way to open a fortune, so I will take the gold away first, and then I will play tomorrow when I go back, and the other wealth will be temporarily sealed, and wait for the official's plan to come down. ”

After all, Tong Guan is a lieutenant and his top boss, and it is unrealistic to let him go back empty-handed, so the seed master nodded and said: "The order of the captain, how dare his subordinates disobey?" ”

Tong Guan's face softened slightly, 16,000 taels of gold was equivalent to 200,000 yuan, which could also allow him to support him for a while.

At this time, Tong Guan glanced at Li Yanqing and said with a smile: "Li Senjun has just taken office, and he has pulled out all the Xixia points on Hedong Road, I estimate that there are a lot of them on Shaanxi Road, I wonder if Li Senjun is interested in going to Shaanxi Road to sweep the intelligence points of the Xixia people?" ”

Li Yanqing bowed slightly, "As a low-level official, Yanqing must obey military orders!" ”

Li Yanqing pushed the ball to the Seed Master Road, he was telling Tong Guan, I am a lowly official, how can you ask me about this kind of thing?

The planter smiled, "Li doesn't have to take the army too seriously, Captain Tong is just joking, Captain Tong's subordinates are full of talents, how can you be missing?" ”

Tong Guan scolded secretly in his heart, so he had to smile and say: "It's really just a joke, but the Intelligence Department is a good thing, I will send someone to learn it, and then promote it to the whole army, not only the Northwest Army, but also the Hebei Army, I just hope that when the time comes, Li will join the army and give advice!" ”

"I will definitely cooperate with the captain with all my might!"

........

Tong Guan mentioned 16,500 taels of gold, so he didn't stay long, then left the west, led a thousand troops back to Jingzhao Mansion, and not long after Tong Guan left, Li Yanqing came to Shuai Tent again.

Seed Master Dao hated Li Yanqing and said: "It stands to reason that before the will of the Son of Heaven comes, no one is allowed to move this batch of wealth, and he insists on taking away the gold, how can I explain it to the Son of Heaven?" ”

"The handsome man can report to the Son of Heaven according to the truth!"

Seed Master Dao shook his head and sighed, "The question is not here, the question is whose credit is it, you think Tong Guan is really trying to take away the gold, no, it's because I preemptively showed this merit to the Son of Heaven, which made him dissatisfied, so he came to find something." ”

"What will he do?" Li Yanqing asked.

"He took the gold, if the imperial court sent someone to verify this batch of wealth, it would be found that the gold was missing, and Tong Guan would not admit that he took the gold, I can't tell."

"In that case, why did the marshal give him the gold?"

The seed master said after a moment of silence, and said slowly: "You have to understand the truth that the military order is like a mountain, he is my top boss, if I dare to disobey his order, he has the right to remove me from my post on the spot, to put it down, this matter is indeed my fault first, I should not bypass him to the Son of Heaven on the table, although the Son of Heaven gives me the privilege of directly on the table, but you have to understand that this power is a double-edged sword, which is convenient for yourself, but it offends the boss, it is difficult for me to have both." ”

"How is the boss going to explain the gold gap?" Li Yanqing asked.

The Seed Master Dao was silent for a moment and said: "There is no other way than to explain it clearly to the Son of Heaven in the above table, since you have already offended people, you can only offend to the end." ”

"Humble duty understood."

The seed master said with a smile: "Don't take this little thing to heart, but tomorrow's interview has already been arranged?" ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly said: "The list has come out, a total of one hundred and twenty people have been selected from the Fuxue side, do you want to go to the interview together?" ”

"Look! If I have time, I'll go along. ”

At this moment, there was a report from the soldiers at the door of the big tent, "Marshal Qiqi, there is a person from outside the big camp, saying that it is an official appointed by the imperial court and has come to take office." ”

"What's his name?" The seed master asked anxiously.

"It seems to be called Zongze!"
