[The third update, ask for red tickets, collect]

Han Gang led the team to walk under the night sky. Although the light of the stars and the moon was dim, it was better that there was no cloud barrier, and it still clearly illuminated their future.

The stars are brilliant, and the Milky Way spans the sky. Nakshatra and Mars are in the southern sky, with two bright fiery red stars shining together in the sky. Nakshatra is named after the Great Fire, and in July, the Great Fire travels westward, which is the so-called 'July Flowing Fire' in the Book of Songs, which is a sign of autumn.

At this time, it is the 'May Song', the cicadas are screaming happily in the trees on the side of the road, the grass under the trees, and the crickets sing together, the fireflies flicker, the mountain breeze comes slowly, with the fragrance of the grass and trees, it is the scenery in early summer.

In order to ensure the safety of Han Gang and his entourage, and to escape in time when they encountered thieves, Wang Shao specially equipped each person with a war horse. On the narrow and winding mountain road, twelve people and more than twenty war horses pulled out of a long queue. The bell from the horse's neck was removed to prevent the enemy from scouting, and only the sound of the horse's hooves echoed on the mountain wall.

Rushing out in the night, Wang Sunchen also knew that something was wrong with Lu Dao, so he stepped forward and asked Han Gang: "Third brother, how much success did you have in leading the errand of the Qingtang Department this time?" ”

Han Gang didn't look back, staring at the road in front of him to prevent the horse's hooves from stumbling. He said, "I'm not sure I won't go." ”

Wang Sunchen is not as confident as Han Gang, and he will not care about the life or death of the Tibetan Ministry. has always been by Wang Shao's side and Han Gang, and the conversation was heard clearly, Wang Sunchen knew that Dong Yu would not come to attack Gu Wei, so he took the risk of Han Gang to go to the Qingtang Department as a lobbyist, just to save the Fan Ministry, but he couldn't see it:

"It stands to reason that this matter has nothing to do with the third brother, you can't just stay in the sanatorium. Wang Jiyi is really, why bother to push such a dangerous job on you, isn't there a high lift, he is also in charge of the affairs of the Tibetan Ministry, he should go. ”

"That's what you think too......" Han Gang said softly. Although Wang Sunsin's words were only in front of him, Han Gang's mind was touched.

Let yourself go to the Qingtang Department alone first, and persuade Yu Longke that Wang Shao should not agree to this matter. Han Gang's self-recommendation in front of Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu was actually just a skill to provoke conversation. In his mind, it was impossible for Wang Shao to nod, but he should think twice and take himself to Qingtang with him.

In fact, if it was in the past, Han Gang would definitely say his thoughts directly, and he believed that Wang Shao would not care about these small sections. Deliberately ignoring some small etiquette is also a means to win over relationships and show closeness, but Han Gang uses a roundabout method - because he has scruples and wants to test Wang Shao's ideas.

Just a few days ago, because of Li Fugui's unjust killing of Jiang Zuo, Wang Shao once told Han Gang that his personality was similar to Li Fugui, and he should remember not to follow Li Fugui's appearance in the future. Although Wang Shao was half-joking, Han Gang always felt that something was wrong, because it really didn't look like Wang Shao should say it.

If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, Han Gang knows Wang Shao very well, they are all the same kind of people, they are extremely heavy-minded, and the city government is very deep, and they will basically make a few bends in their hearts before they say it. Wang Shao can say something taboo to his son without any scruples, but he never jokes, in this case, how could he say such unreasonable things to himself.

Therefore, Han Gang has had a knot in his heart since that day, and wants to confirm whether Wang Shao has a jealousy of himself. If there is, Han Gang will definitely have to be on guard, no matter how close Wang Shao is, he is not as reliable as himself.

Take the matter of going to the Qingtang Department to persuade Yu Longke this time, the best candidate for Lu is definitely not Han Gang, but Gao Zunyu, who is the uncle of the Queen Mother. He came forward as a lobbyist, and the possibility of Yu Longke coming over was at least ten times greater than that of Han Gang. As soon as the king's anger is released, it is not impossible for the little brother to bow his head. The more valuable the status, the heavier the weight of the words, and it is a matter of course.

However, Han Gang and even Wang Shao couldn't propose that Gao Zunyu go to Yu Longke. Ask the Empress Dowager's uncle to commit a dangerous situation, even if he can succeed, he will be hated - Jun did not see Kou Zhun to persuade Zhenzong to conquer in person, after making a covenant in Lanzhou, Emperor Zhenzong was happy for a few days, but Wang Qinruo's words made him turn his face, and he also added an idiom to the dictionary 'All or nothing' - Gao Zunyu is to be a lobbyist, and it must also come from his own meaning.

And the next best choice is Wang Shao. After the incident of the Tuoshuo Department, Wang Shao already has a great prestige in the border areas of Qinzhou, especially Qingwei. I am also promoting the Ministry of Tibet, and he went to find Yu Longke, and his name is justified. Unlike Han Gang, neither of his two missions had anything to do with the Tibetan Ministry.

Han Gang believed that Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu could see this, so he recommended himself. Under normal circumstances, Wang Shao would definitely object. But the facts proved Han Gang's guess, and Wang Shao really became jealous of him, and asked his family to go to Yu Longke first, instead of choosing a method with a greater chance. And judging by the speed at which Wang Shao nodded, he and Gao Zunyu should have discussed it a long time ago.

When did Wang Shao become jealous of himself? Han Gang couldn't think of it, not because he couldn't find the reason, but because there were too many possible reasons.

There was a correspondence between Wang Shao and Wang Anshi, Han Gang knew that he now doubted whether Wang Anshi had told Wang Shao about his several opinions that could not be exposed, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt impossible.

Otherwise, it was a matter of dealing with Xiang Bao, although Wang Shao accepted his plan, but Xiang Bao's ending may have made Wang Shao have the sad idea of a rabbit dying and a fox in his heart. Han Gang did not regret his methods at that time, because he wanted to protect himself, but in front of Wang Shao, he really should have pretended to be at that time.

Han Gang's head hurts a little, and he always speculates about people's hearts, which is actually a very tiring thing, but if he doesn't think about it so much, the insecurity in his heart will make Han Gang feel even more tired.

This may be an unavoidable annoyance for even smart people. Han Gang smiled bitterly, hid his suspicions in his heart, and led a team of cavalry with Wang Sunchen to the north by moonlight.

Han Gang finally relaxed. Because Wang Shao's thoughts in his heart didn't mean anything to him. Even if Wang Shao treats him as a beast, as long as he is cautious and does his own thing, there will be no problem. is still the same sentence, to get to this point, Han Gang relied on himself, not Wang Shao. Now it is also Wang Shao who needs Han Gang's help, not the other way around.

Looking up at the crescent moon hanging in the night sky at the beginning of May, Han Gang suddenly remembered, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, you should hang calamus, mugwort leaves, atractylodes, angelica, drink a few cups of realgar wine, and suppress the evil spirit of the evil day.

The Dragon Boat Festival was a festival in later generations, but at this time it was a bad day when the epidemic began to spread and poisonous insects began to wreak havoc. In the days when the five poisons came out together, they encountered the invasion of the Tibetan people, and he had to find another Tibetan department to borrow. Speaking of which, the dress of the Tibetan people is similar to that of demons and monsters in the eyes of ordinary Han people, and this day is really unlucky.

Under the moonlight and starlight, over the two mountains, the dark valleys in front of them are the places where the Qingtang Department lives. In fact, the location of the main account of the Qingtang Department is very close to the ancient Wei Village, and it is only more than 30 miles away. Han Gang set off at night, and after midnight, he arrived at the junction of the Qingtang Department and Guwei Village.

The walled city where Yu Longke lived inherited the name of his tribe and was called Qingtang. However, this Qingtang Dynasty is not the other Qingtang Dynasty, although Yu Longke's Qingtang City is the same name as the Qingtang Wangcheng [now Xining] where Tubo Zanpu Dong Yu lives, but the scale is much different. Han Gang had heard that the city wall of the Qingtang Dynasty was eight miles long, and it was a large city west of Qinzhou, and the merchants and travelers in the city were endless, and the Uighur caravans were the majority. And Yu Longke's Qingtang City only has salt wells, and I heard that it is about the same size as Guwei Village.

Of course, Dong Yu's Qingtang Wangcheng is the pivotal place in the middle section of the Qiang Middle Road, which is incomparable to Yu Longke's Qingtang City. The Qiang Middle Road was one of several Chinese Silk Roads leading to the Western Regions. Although the terrain of the Middle Qiang Road was far inferior to the Ganliang Road in Hexi, nor was it as good as the Lingzhou Road passing through the territory of Western Xia, since the wars of various tribes from the Five Dynasties onwards destroyed the transportation of the Hexi Corridor, and then the Dangxiang people extracted heavy taxes on the Lingzhou Road, many Uighur merchants had to switch to the Middle Qiang Road. Dong Yu's wealth depended on the taxes of Uighur merchants. And Yu Longke's money comes from his salt well, with an income of about 30,000 yuan a year, except for Dong Yu and Mu Zheng, there is no one in the Hehuang Fan Department who can compare to him.

Light the torch and announce your arrival to the people of the Qingtang Dynasty. Along the mountain road from the slope to the mountain, Han Gang and his party had already entered the valley belonging to the Qingtang Department. Walking under the dim starry sky, you can only see a long strip of sky, only a few companions around you, and surrounded by the darkness that the sparse torch will not leave, all of this is a bit like the night when I walked in the valley more than half a year ago.

At that time, the safety of Gangu City was uncertain, and the mountains on both sides were full of murderous machines. Now, Han Gang had heard the commotion in the valley ahead and on the surrounding hillsides.

The people of the Qingtang Department had already discovered themselves, and the horns of the newspaper sounded one after another. When Han Gang heard the sound, he grabbed the reins and ordered the whole team to stop and wait for the master to come out on the road between the valleys.

Although except for Wang Sunsin, the rest of the entourage were a little flustered, and the panic in their hearts could be seen from the torches shaking in their hands. But Han Gang is still calm, he came out with confidence, and it is the same now. Any confidence must be based on reality, and if it is unfounded faith, it is arrogance, not self-confidence.

Han Gang is confident that he can complete the task. He can be sure that Yu Longke doesn't want to see his appearance, from Yu Longke's point of view, the best situation is that the Song people get out of Guwei Village, and Mu Zheng, Dong Yu and Xia people are all safe and divided, so that the Qingtang Department will dominate Guweizhou.

But no matter what, Yu Longke will not choose to cooperate with Dong Yu, which has no benefit to him at all......

What can Dong Yu not see this? Or is he already sure how to deal with it?

The question suddenly arose, and under the illumination of the countless sparks that suddenly lit up in front of him, Han Gang frowned suddenly.
