At the beginning of spring, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of Yuan Conghuwei, Yanqing ordered Ma Sanbao to carry a large sum of money and silk and secretly rushed to Jincheng.

Yuan Cong Huwei is the most lethal weapon in his hands. These people came out of the mountain of corpses and blood of Goguryeo, and experienced the most tragic fighting, which can be regarded as one in a hundred. The people who can survive in such a harsh environment are by no means comparable to those recruits who have just picked up arms and gone to the battlefield. At the same time, they are extremely convinced of Yanqing, know how to order and prohibit, and are loyal.

What could be more precious than these experienced, martial arts, tacit cooperation, and loyal subordinates.

There are more than 100 guards in Yanqing's house.

But in his eyes, the more than 100 guards were simply vulnerable. Yuan Conghuwei can kill them in seconds and seconds.

Therefore, the equipment of Yuan Conghuwei must be the best.

Ordinary war horses are not enough to match the bravery of Yuan Conghuwei. Ma Sanbao visited Xue Rengao in Jincheng County, and then carefully selected and selected thirty Dawan good horses. Although not all of them can travel thousands of miles and walk 800 at night, all of them are the best among horses.

After all, the natural dragon horse like the white dragon horse Jade Hoof is not something that can be obtained casually.

But it was these thirty Dawan good horses that cost Yan Qing nearly 20,000 copper coins. For the same amount of money, you can buy almost 200 ordinary war horses, and maybe you can get a discount. It can be seen from this that these thirty Dawan good horses are so abnormal.

"Are you sure it's the county government?"

"It's true!"

"Why didn't they take my horses?"

"The officers said it was an order from the prefectural order. It seems to be a conscription or something...... I argued a few words, but the people ignored them. ”

Ma Sanbao was quite aggrieved and replied to Yanqing.

For Ma Sanbao, Yan Qing is very satisfied. When he was not at home before, Zheng Shi'an was old and frail, and Mao Xiaonian was a little woman, which was difficult to be of great use. Most of the time, it's Ma Sanbao who is running around. Even when Zheng Shi'an was taken into custody, Ma Sanbao did not give birth to the slightest abandonment. But he was given to Yan Qing by Li Yuan, which made Yan Qing more or less scruples.

At that time, Yan Qing didn't know about his relationship with the Li family.

There is such a figure in the family, which makes Yan Qing feel that Li Yuan sent him to spy on him.

But now, his senses for Ma Sanbao have improved a lot. Ma Sanbao is the person Li Ji asked Li Yuan to send, and he is not half-hearted. In addition, over the years, Ma Sanbao has done his best, which has made Yanqing trust him a little more.

"Sanbao, you go down and rest, I have my own opinions on this matter."

"Whoa!"

"Also, the family may be very busy recently, and Lao Shen may not be able to take care of it. You help him a little more and share some more things. ”

The implication is that although Shen Guang is a housekeeper, he is not good at this.

In general, if you help take care of it, Shen Guang won't ask too much. This is equivalent to officially recognizing Ma Sanbao's status in the family. A second housekeeper, but in fact he bears the responsibility of a big housekeeper. Ma Sanbao was stunned, and then he was overjoyed and bowed down to agree.

Over the years, although Yanqing has also used him, most of them have asked him to do errands.

When Ma Sanbao came out of the Li family, according to the rules, it was equivalent to having no connection with the Li family. Yan Qing was quite distrustful of him, making his status very embarrassing at home. Now, Yanqing has recognized him, and from now on, he will be regarded as Yanqing's cronies...... This feeling is a bit like a daughter-in-law who has been boiling into a mother-in-law for many years. Even if he is just a second housekeeper, Ma Sanbao feels very happy.

After all, the hard work of the past few years has finally not been in vain.

Ma Sanbao went down, but Shen Guang stayed.

Yan Qing motioned for him to sit down, and then said to Pei Shuying: "This Zhang County Commander seems to be a little wrong." ”

The county magistrate of Gongxian County is surnamed Zhang, and he is a turbid official. There are many famous people in Gongxian County, and there are also many wealthy families. For example, Yin Xun, one of the eight Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, once had the reputation of "Yin Boyuan, the British Domain of the World";

However, the dynasties changed, and most of the wealthy families in the past gradually declined.

But even so, those wealthy families are still the existence that lowly officials have to look up to. Zhang Xianling, as the parent official of Gong County, is still very polite to these declining wealthy families. And for Yanqing, he is even more respectful. From the beginning, Yan Qing was born as a cloud cavalry lieutenant, a disciple of the Zheng family, and he was not comparable to a county order; Now Yan Qing is a white body, and he can be used as a representative of Shilin, and he is not a county order that can be provoked.

Therefore, Zhang Xianling has always been very polite to Yanqing's family.

When Yanqing was injured, he also made a special trip to visit. But in the blink of an eye, this guy's face changed, which was a little weird.

Pei Shuying pondered for a moment, "Otherwise, I'll go to the county government to visit this Zhang county commander?" ”

Yan Qing thought for a while, "If my aunt comes out, I think I can see the clues." ”

There are not many people available in his house, and there is only one person who can be regarded as a character, Pei Shuying. For example, Shen Guang and Su Lie may not be able to see Zhang County's order. Even if Shen Guang had made military exploits in Goguryeo with Yanqing, Zhang Xianling might not pay attention to him. He dared to accept the war horse that was not celebrated, indicating that he must have something to rely on behind him. Even if Yan Qing goes now, he may not necessarily give face.

This Zhang County Order is an interesting guy.

Look at the sky, it's just past noon.

Pei Shuying immediately ordered someone to prepare a vehicle and go to the county office.

Yan Qing didn't dare to relax, Pei Shuying just left with his front foot, and he sank his face with his back foot and said: "Shen Guang, from now on, strengthen the vigilance in the house."

Immediately send someone to Baiguwu and ask Master Tanzong to lead people to come...... Just say: something may happen at home! ”

Shen Guang more or less, he also saw some clues.

There must be some unknown connection between Yanqing and Tanzong.

However, as a retainer, Shen Guang would not ask. He said yes and immediately turned to go down. With his understanding of Yan Qing, Yan Qing will never be easily targeted. Maybe this Gong County is really going to have some trouble. With a little more care, there is nothing wrong with it.

"Young Master, is something going to happen?"

Mao Xiaonian also became nervous and asked in a low voice.

Yan Qing smiled and suddenly asked, "Xiao Nian, are you still practicing the kung fu that Duoduo taught you at the beginning?" ”

"Of course."

"Well, from now on, you bring a thin waist and four eyes, and stay in the back garden. Let Grandpa Hammer and Grandpa Tiger accompany the old lady in the house, and you will stay outside. ”

"Young Master, you made me nervous."

Yan Qing said: "There's nothing to be nervous about, just be prepared." ”

Mao Xiaonian agreed and left in a hurry. I have to say that this little girl's mind is very delicate, and when she left, she called Xiong Kuohai and Kan Leng, and was responsible for protecting Yanqing in the pavilion.

Yan Qing sat alone in the gazebo, looking at the lotus flowers blooming in the pond, stunned.

"Ah Ling, take pen and ink."

Kan Ling heard the greeting and quickly took the paper and ink.

Yan Qing wrote two letters and asked Kan Ling to find the two of them.

"One was sent to Xingyang and secretly handed over to Fang Qiao and Fang Sima; The other was sent to Guancheng and handed over to the county lieutenant Xu. ”

He delivered the letter to both of them separately and gave them another advice. Dang Shijie and Dang Shiying received the letter and set off. After everything was arranged, Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know if these arrangements were useful, but it was a good thing to be a little guarded.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xiong Kuohai sat on the steps of the gazebo and asked in surprise.

Yan Qing smiled, "Big Heizi, have you been very idle lately?" ”

Xiong Kuohai grinned widely, and smiled, "Idle's arm hurts." At this time last year, Dahezi was killing happily with his eldest brother in Goguryeo, but now he has nothing to do...... Hehe, I was thinking about going into the mountains with my grandfather in a few days, turning two hammers to loosen my muscles. ”

The male sledgehammer is in the mountains, and there is an iron furnace.

Yan Qing laughed, "Big Heizi, you don't need to go into the mountain." Maybe after a while, you should complain to me again, that you are too busy, too tired. ”

"If you really have something to do, it's good to be busy."

Xiong Kuohai scratched his head and smiled.

In the afternoon, Ma Sanbao came to ask for a meeting: "Son, outside the house, there are idle people. ”

"Oh?"

Li Yanqing was wiping the silver whip in the room, and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, "Who is it?" ”

"It looks like it's someone from the yamen, but it's all tight. Although they pretended to be passing by, I still noticed that they were very frequent.

Also, I went out just now and ran into Zuo Bingcao.

He was in a hurry, and when I asked him what he was doing, he was also hesitant and evasive. The guards of the two city gates in Gong County also seem to have increased their manpower.

Young master, this situation seems to be a little abnormal. ”

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows, his fingers twisting slightly.

"How long has it been since Pei Zhenren went to the county office?"

"It's been more than an hour."

More than an hour and still haven't come back?

With Pei Shuying's identity, it would definitely not take so long to get those horses back. Yan Qing didn't think that Pei Shuying would have any common language with that county order. She hasn't come back yet, could it be that Zhang Xianling ...... Hold her in captivity?

Zhang Xianling, what does he want to do?

"Sanbao, you immediately send someone to keep an eye on the movements of the county government and the barracks for me."

"The villain will do it."

In some ways, Shen Guang is indeed inferior to Ma Sanbao's organic police. It's not that Shen Guang is slow to react, it's just that Ma Sanbao grew up in a big family, and his intuition about some things is far more far-reaching than Shen Guang. At the very least, Ma Sanbao was aware of the problem.

In the afternoon, Yanqing went to visit his grandfather Zheng Shi'an again.

On the surface, it seems that nothing has happened, and accompanying Zheng Shi'an to talk and laugh in the room seems to be extremely relaxed. Zheng Shi'an's body bones were not good after all, and after only talking for a while, he felt tired. Yan Qing waited for Zheng Shi'an to rest, and when he fell asleep, he pulled Xiong Da Hammer and Wang Zheng aside.

"Grandpa Sledgehammer, Grandpa Tiger...... Something could happen today.

Keep watch in your house, both of you, and don't act rashly. I've already arranged the things outside, so you don't need to worry about it. ”

"Yanqing, what's wrong?"

Wang Zheng and Xiong Sledgehammer both looked a little worried.

"It's okay, it's just some clowns who want to come out and breathe."

Yan Qing said it very easily, which made Wang Zheng and Xiong Sledgehammer feel a lot more at ease. Think about it, what kind of person is Yan Qing? From Goguryeo, he returned with the remnants of the defeated generals and captured the king of Goguryeo. A little jumping clown, what kind of climate can it become?

As for what kind of jumping clown?

Wang Zheng and Xiong Sledgehammer didn't ask. Anyway, Yan Qing said that it was a jumping beam clown, so it must be a jumping beam clown, and there will never be a mistake!

Sometimes, it's a matter of faith.

Yan Qing is where the confidence of the whole house lies, as long as he makes a decision, there is no problem.

Looking at the two gray-haired old men, Yan Qing felt more and more that the burden on his shoulders was heavy......****

In the evening, Pei Shuying had not returned.

Yanqing began to feel worried. The news he got from Ma Sanbao made him even more restless. As soon as it was dark, Gong County closed the city gates. And the city is usually closed after an hour, doesn't that mean that something is going to happen in the city?

Not only did the city gate close ahead of schedule, but at the same time, the officers and soldiers of the first brigade stationed in Gongxian County also made frequent sorties.

Gongxian is the gateway to Heluo, and it is more adjacent to Luokoucang. Its strategic and political position is not trivial. Therefore, it is not surprising that soldiers and horses are stationed in the county seat. Under the rule of Xingyang County, a total of 11 county seats are under its jurisdiction. Among them, Xingyang is the seat of the county, and there are soldiers and horses stationed in the prefecture.

In addition to Xingyang County, Guancheng County (now Zhengzhou City, Henan) and Gong County also garrisoned a brigade of soldiers and horses.

The number of people is not large, that is, about a hundred. But after all, this is a regular army, which is completely different from the county soldiers. In addition, the rest of the soldiers and horses were stationed at various checkpoints in Xingyang County, heavily guarded. The mobilization of soldiers and horses in Gong County was like this, the officers and troops went out of the city, and the countryside bravely entered the city...... Although Xingyang County and Guancheng County have suffered from banditry, Gong County is very peaceful. At this time, what is the purpose of transferring the officers and soldiers out of the county?

There is a big difference between the official army and the township yong, but the main point is that the township yong is under the command of the county order, while the official army is mainly ordered by the military government.

Yan Qing immediately realized that this matter seemed to be becoming more and more complicated.

Transfer the officers and troops out of the county seat of Gongxian County, and replace them with the township Yong who obeys the command of Zhang County? What does this prefectural order mean? Could it be that he wants to rebel?

With this thought, Yan Qing shook the spirit.

"In the city, is there a night curfew?"

Ma Sanbao said: "I haven't heard of that, but after Xiang Yong entered the city, he took over all the main roads and exits in the city.

Especially around several prominent families in the city, there are village warriors patrolling. I was outside the house just now, and I happened to meet Zuo Bing Cao, so I stepped forward to listen to the tone. Zuo Bing Cao didn't hide from me this time, but said don't worry, it's a normal transfer, and it can return to normal in a day or two. ”

Gongxian Township Yong, all of whom are commanded by Bing Cao.

Yan Qing is not particularly familiar with the officials in Gong County, after all, he has lived in Gong County for a short time.

However, he also knew that Zuo Bing Cao was a person from Zhang County, and it was said that he was still related to Zhang County. In other words, at this moment, the entire Gong County is under the control of Zhang County, what does he want? And what does Zuo Bing Cao mean by 'one or two days to return to normal'?

"Prepare the car immediately and send me to the county office."

Ma Sanbao hurriedly went down to make arrangements, and Yan Qing beckoned Shen Guang to come over.

He whispered a few words in Shen Guang's ear. Shen Guang's face changed, and he nodded slightly.

Yan Qing changed into a white robe, tied his hair up, and walked out of the room.

"Big Black, give me the car."

He summoned the majestic sea, and then called Su Lie and Kan Leng: "I'm going to go out now, and the family will be handed over to you and the two of you."

Ming Yuan is on standby from the Tiger Guard, Ah Ling, you have to listen to Lao Su's words more, and don't act without permission. ”

Su Lie and Kan Ling surrendered their orders.

The carriage was ready, and Yan Qing boarded the carriage.

The majestic sea drove the car, and Ma Sanbao accompanied him. After leaving the house, Yan Qing looked out of the car window and saw that there were very few pedestrians along the way.

From time to time, I will meet the patrolling villagers, although they did not block the carriage, but they can see that they are quite vigilant.

I wonder how my aunt is doing?

Even if you have the courage to come to Zhang County, you don't dare to embarrass Pei Shuying. Yan Qing was in the carriage, silent, thinking about all kinds of possible situations. Unconsciously, the chariot had come to the Gongxian County Yamen, and Ma Sanbao took two steps and climbed the doorstep.

"Who?"

"The little one is the steward of the Li Mansion, please inform Zhang County Order, and say that Li Gongzi asks to see him."

The menzi frowned, and said coldly: "What Li Gongzi?" I haven't heard of it. The county magistrate has important things to do, and he doesn't see anyone. ”

As he spoke, he pushed Ma Sanbao.

"Get out of here, or I'll get you arrested."

When Yan Qing heard it in the car, his face changed slightly: What an arrogant doorman!

"Big Black, open the way for me."

Xiong Kuohai immediately jumped out of the carriage, and without waiting for the door to react, he jumped up the door steps. Pu Fan grabbed the neck of the door with a big hand, and said murderously: "My son-in-law crisscrosses Goguryeo, you can go wherever you want, you are a talent, you dare to block my son-in-law's way?" Get the hell out of here! ”

As soon as the hand was forced, he only pinched the door and stuck out his tongue.

At this time, Ma Sanbao helped Yan Qing to get out of the carriage, and listened to Yan Qing: "Da Heizi, just teach him a lesson, don't hurt his surname." ”

"Got it!"

After the majestic sea finished speaking, the ape's arm stretched and sent it out.

The door fell under the stairs in one fell swoop. The vast sea didn't exert force, but it was only for him. That didn't have force, and that strength was not something that ordinary people could bear. All of a sudden, he smashed that door and screamed again and again.

"Someone's coming, someone is making trouble......"

Menzi slowed down, pulling his neck and shouting loudly.

Just look at the county yazhong, huhula rushed out more than a dozen errands.

Li Yanqing said angrily: "I don't believe it, I can come and go freely among hundreds of thousands of horses in Goguryeo, and when I reach my own territory, it is difficult to move an inch?"

Big Black, open the way for me, as long as you don't hurt their lives. ”

Who is the mighty sea?

The dignified purple-faced king is born with divine power. Hearing Yanqing's order, he no longer had any scruples. Rushing forward is a punch and kick.

Yan Qing said sharply: "Zhang County Order, if you really want to make trouble, you are willing to give up." ”

The officers were beaten and bruised and bruised and fell to the ground wailing. At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out of it, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was also extremely angry.

"Li Gongzi, you are so bold!"

"Zhang County Order, how bold Li is, you don't know.

But your Excellency's gate is difficult to enter. If not, how can you Zhang County Order come out? ”

The middle-aged man is the Zhang County Order.

Yan Qing had met him a few times, but this time, Zhang Xianling's momentum seemed to be very strong. However, Yan Qing was not afraid of him, and asked sharply: "Zhang County Order, we Mingren don't do dark things, Li Mou came here today, just to ask, why did you Gongxian County Ya confiscate the horses I bought with 10,000 gold?" ”

Zhang Xianling said: "Li Gongzi, I respect you for being a hero of the conquest of Liaodong, and I don't have the same knowledge as you.

The confiscation of your horses is a requisition from the imperial court, and the county does not need to explain it to you. You have to be entangled here, otherwise Hugh blames the county for being unkind to you. ”

"Imperial requisition?"

Yan Qing sneered, and suddenly said sharply: "But I don't know, which is the imperial court that Zhang Xianling said?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Xianling's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

At this time, on the empty long street, many villagers poured out. Yan Qing glanced at it, and there was no fear on his face.

He looked at Zhang County Commander and said, "What Li said, the county commander knows it. I only ask you, my horses, do you pay them back, or do you not pay them back? ”

"Li Yanqing, you are arrogant!"

Zhang Xianling was furious and shouted: "This is Gong County, not Goguryeo." If you want to go wild here, you're in the wrong place. ”

Yan Qing said: "I'm just going to go wild, what can you do?" ”

Zhang Xian ordered: "If you want to find death, I will fulfill you...... Someone, take this person down for me. ”

"I'd like to see, who would dare to do it?"

Yan Qing and Zhang Xianling are needle-to-needle, and no one is willing to back down.

At this moment, I only heard a sound of confusion from the county office. Immediately after, a cold voice came: "Zhang County Order, who are you going to arrest?" ”

Zhang Xianling turned his head to look at it, and his face suddenly turned pale......

(To be continued)
