Qin Qiong, the word Shubao, a native of Licheng, Qi County, is thirty-eight years old. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, his grandfather served as the county commander of Guangnian County, and his father was the secretary of the Northern Qi Palace.

This seems to be very different from Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao in Li Yanqing's memory.

There is no record of Qin Qiong's origin in the history books, but in the history of Romance and Ye, it is either said that he is a descendant of high-ranking officials, or that he was born as a blacksmith. There is no connection between the two, one is extremely noble, the other is extremely lowly, and it is not at all like Qin Qiong in front of him.

Not only are they from different backgrounds, but they are also very different in appearance and description.

Li Yanqing is really a little unsure, is this Qin Qiong the famous Left Gate God in later generations?

"Uncle Bao has ambitions, brave and fearless."

Zhang Xutuo introduced: "When General Hu'er recommended him to come, I almost lost my eyes. However, over the years, he has killed countless enemies with me, and he will charge forward in every battle, cutting generals and capturing the flag, and he has the courage to be unstoppable. I came to Xingyang this time, and I only brought three people with me in addition to the 800 soldiers. One is my chief Shi Jia Wuben, and the other is Shubao and Shixin, who are my right-hand men. ”

Maybe Zhang Xutuo saw that Yan Qing was very interested in Luo Shixin and Qin Shubao, and after the introduction, he added another sentence.

The implication is to warn Li Yanqing: I only brought three people, don't you want to dig into the wall. Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin are my confidants, and I will never give them to you.

Zhang Xutuo also knew that if Li Yanqing really poached the corner, it would be difficult to ensure that Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin would not be moved.

Li Yanqing is famous, not only outstanding in writing, but also in martial arts. In high society, he has the reputation of being mad and half-destined king; In the market, a Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I don't know how many fans he has attracted for him. And Luo Shixin happens to be one of them.

Yan Qing said with a smile: "Uncle Bao Shixin is a hero in the world.

But now that the bandits are currently in the loop, Tong Shou said this, even if I have the heart, it is difficult for me to speak. In this way, if I need it, I will ask the two of them to help one or two. Xingyang is vast under its rule, especially adjacent to Wagang in the east, and it does need heroes. ”

Li Yanqing did not hesitate to express his love for Qin and Luo.

After Zhang Xutuo heard this, he was relieved.

Since Yan Qing spoke like this, he would not do that poaching thing. In fact, Zhang Xutuo also knows that these two people who follow Li Yanqing are far more promising than following him. After all, Li Yanqing is from a serious military background, and Qin and Luo have far more opportunities by Li Yanqing's side than by their own side. For the sake of the future of the two of them, Zhang Xutuo didn't mind letting them follow Yanqing. But now...... The elite Eight Winds Battalion under his command still needs Qin and Luo to be in charge.

I secretly made up my mind in my heart: after the Wagang is pacified, I will let Qin and Luo go to the Black Stone Mansion.

Zhang Xutuo is also a person who loves his life, but when it comes to the future of Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, Zhang Xutuo will never be half selfish.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this open-mindedness that Yang Guang favors him. Even Yan Qing has a lot of respect for him.

On the same day, Xin Wenli and Zheng Weishan arrived at Tiger Prison Pass successively and met Zhang Xutuo.

Among the four major military mansions, only Zhang Jixun, the Eagle Yang Lang of Jishan Mansion, who was far away in Jishan, did not come over. It's not that he doesn't want to come over, but in the south of Xingyang, there is a little turmoil. Originally, the southern part of Xingyang was guarded by Zhang Jixun and Wei Wentong of Dashu Mountain at the same time, but it was also safe and sound. But now, the entire three counties and two mountains in the south, with a total of more than 70 towns, are all under the rule of Zhang Jixun. Even if Zhang Jixun has the ability to reach the sky, he has increased so many defenses at once, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to take care of it immediately.

If you can't take care of it all, there will naturally be a small night ready to move.

Seeing that winter is about to enter, Xingyang County can be said to have no harvest this year, and this people's heart is also in turmoil.

In addition, Jishan is relatively far away from the Tiger Prison Pass, and Zhang Jixun can't get out.

In this regard, Zhang Xutuo can also understand. Instead of blaming, he expressed his deep appreciation for Zhang Jixun's dedication to his duties.

"Li Sima!"

Yang Qing privately called Yan Qing aside.

Although Li Yanqing, the Sima of Xingyang, has not yet been approved by the ministry, he is jointly sponsored by Yang Qing and Zhang Xutuo, and the problem will not be too big. After all, Sima was no different from other administrative positions, and his responsibilities were mainly military. Li Yanqing's position as a general of the military government and concurrently serving as the Sima of Xingyang is not without precedent. The only problem may be age. However, a clan, coupled with a joint guarantee from Emperor Yang of Sui's love generals, even if the officials were reluctant, they had to consider the faces of Yang and Zhang. Therefore, although the Ministry of Officials has not yet issued an appointment, in Yang Qing's heart, Li Yanqing is already the best candidate for Xingyang Sima.

"This autumn, Xingyang will not be harvested, and the treasury will store grain, and it must not be moved.

I would like to learn from the method you used three years ago, on the one hand, to reopen the porridge shack to help the victims; On the other hand, the county government funded the repair of the city defenses in Hugao, Xingyang, Gongxian and other places, and provided relief for work to alleviate the disaster. It's just that...... The county government has some money and food. ”

Where could Li Yanqing still not understand what Yang Qing meant.

That's what makes yourself bleed!

However, what Yang Qing said is not unreasonable.

Although the treasury had grain in stock, most of it was reserved for war. Yang Guang transferred Zhang Xutuo over so that he could quell the bandit rebellion. It is estimated that it will not be long before Zhang Xutuo will use troops against Wagang. In this way, the money and food consumed by the county soldiers and township warriors will inevitably be huge.

Even if Yang Qing had the courage to act rashly, he didn't dare to act rashly.

As for Luokoucang...... If there was no decree from the imperial court, it would be impossible for him to use the storage inside. The money and grain in the treasury and Luokoucang are not allowed to be used at will, and the amount of money and grain that Xingyang County can spend can be imagined. Li Yanqing quickly calculated, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. If Xingyang County is to make a smooth transition, the amount of money and food required is definitely an astonishing amount. Yang Qingneng came up with a way to repair the city and use work for relief, and he had already done his best. But the number he can solve is only a few...... "King Xun is not worried, the young general has an idea."

The young general in Gong County, although he has family resources, he has to provide for the victims of the disaster in the whole county, and I am afraid it is not enough. Xingyang is the hinterland of the Central Plains, with noble families and many wealthy families. He also has a lot of assets in his family, and the young general is willing to match up and ask the local gentry to help. However, the world is not very good now, and if you exchange it empty-handed, I am afraid it is unlikely. King Xun still needs to think of a way to make these gentlemen sign up enthusiastically.

In fact, the Xingyang gentry don't care about any money and food, what they care more about is a reputation ......"

"You mean ......"

Yang Qing nodded lightly as if he had realized something.

Li Yanqing whispered a few words in Yang Qing's ear, and Yang Qing suddenly smiled.

"If that's the case, what's the harm in rewarding him with a 'Justice of the Peace'?"

****

The next day, Li Yanqing, Xin Wenli, and Zheng Weishan said goodbye and left the Tiger Prison.

After all, they were not local officials, but subordinate to the Twelve Guards. How Zhang Xutuo will quell the chaos and how Yang Qing will support it has little to do with Yan Qing and the three of them. At least for now, Li Yanqing is not a Sima of Xingyang, but a county department.

If Zhang Xutuo needs their help, they will do their best.

But it is Zhang Xutuo and Yang Qing who are really in charge, not them. This time I came to Tiger Prison Pass, not so much to catch the wind for Zhang Xutuo, but to show my attitude.

"Zhang Xutuo is here, Xingyang is probably going to be lively!"

On the way back, Li Yanqing and Du Ruhui walked side by side.

"What, are you afraid that Zhang Xutuo has swept away Wagang?"

"Uh......"

Yan Qing scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.

To be honest, he really can't remember whether Zhang Xutuo really came to Xingyang in history. If you've been? He also does not seem to have pacified Wagangzhai. Otherwise, there would be no later Li Mi and Wang Shichong competing for power! By the way, Wang Shichong...... How did I forget this person?

Li Yanqing's attention has always been focused on Xingyang, and he has not paid attention to anything else.

Wang Shichong?

I seem to have heard his name, but where is it now? Li Yanqing really doesn't know.

"Lao Du, do you know Wang Shichong?"

"Wang Shichong?" Regarding the character that Li Yanqing suddenly mentioned, Du Ruhui couldn't react at once. After thinking for a while, he suddenly stroked his palm, "Are you talking about that Jiangdu Tongshou, Zhihu'er, Wang Xingman?" He had previously pacified Geqian's remnants in Hebei...... Now, I remember that the previous war report said that His Majesty transferred him to Nanyang County and was fighting against Lu Mingyue and others. ”

After speaking, Du Ruhui asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly ask about this person?" ”

Wang Shichong, full of words.

His surname is Zhi, and he is a Hu person from the Western Regions. Because his mother later married into the Taiyuan Wang family, he changed his surname to Wang. Previously, he was a Jiangdu Juncheng, because when Yang Guang was trapped in Yanmen Pass, Wang Shichong said that he did not eat and was worried about Yang Guang. Later, when he learned that Yang Guang had lifted the siege, he happily drank more than a dozen times in a row and got drunk.

Yang Guang also remembered this person's name because of this.

Wang Shichong can speak well, knows how to observe words and feelings, is good at talking about military affairs, and is quite strategic.

After Yujuluo was killed, Wang Shichong took over the Jiangnan military affairs. Qiaoyan ordered the rebels to surrender and then killed them, thus gaining Yang Guang's trust.

However, Du Ruhui didn't understand why Li Yanqing suddenly mentioned this person.

"Lao Du, after bothering you, pay more attention to this person."

"Oh?"

"I have a hunch that this guy is very unusual."

Du Ruhui doesn't know much about Wang Shichong, so it's not easy to make a judgment. However, since Yan Qing thinks that this person is not simple, there must be his reasons. As Yanqing's legal staff, Du Ruhui will definitely not easily ignore anyone, including Wang Shichong.

"When I go back, I will pay more attention to this person."

Since Du Ruhui has expressed his position, Li Yanqing will not talk about this issue anymore. Is it possible, to tell Du Ruhui that this Wang Shichong will be called a lonely widow? Speaking of which, Du Ruhui may not necessarily believe it, after all, he has no understanding of Wang Shichong.

As long as he pays attention, he will naturally find the clues.

Yan Qing believes that Du Ruhui has this ability. Some things, just need to say it, how to deal with it, Du Ruhui has his own way.

The two chatted all the way.

From Zhang Xutuo to Wagangzhai, from Zhai Rang to Li Mi......

Before you know it, it's past noon.

Because I left early in the morning, I was a little hungry at this time.

There happened to be a wine shop in front of him, and Yan Qing decided to set off after having a meal in the wine shop.

But when I arrived at the wine store, I found that there was a car parked at the door of the wine store. At a cursory glance, there were about thirty or forty large carts.

Looking at the flag, it seems to be a convoy of a certain merchant.

Li Yanqing didn't care.

Xingyang is the throat of the eastern capital, the place of thoroughfare in all directions, and there are many merchants in the past. Even now, bandits are rampant everywhere, and ant thieves are rampant, so that many merchants have to stop business. But under the rule of Xingyang County, there are still caravans passing by, but there are fewer than before.

There is a goose statue hanging at the door of the wine shop, which is the property under Li Yanqing's name.

About 100 men ate by the cart. In the wine shop, more than a dozen strong men sat around, whispering and talking in a low voice.

Li Yanqing and his entourage suddenly appeared, which really surprised everyone.

In particular, those who ate by the cart were visibly nervous.

It is no wonder that the sudden appearance of such a neatly armoured, fierce-tempered, and serious cavalry army would make anyone feel a little nervous.

Li Yanqing asked Qilinwei to rest outside the wine shop.

He took Su Lie, King Fu Bao and Du Ruhui, and walked into the wine shop.

What used to be a noisy liquor shop suddenly became extraordinarily quiet. A pair of eyes looked at Li Yanqing vigilantly, making the corners of Yanqing's eyes jump slightly.

These dozen big men are murderous!

This murderous thing is actually quite mysterious, you can't see it or touch it.

Only those who have killed people can perceive such an aura. In the same way, people who have not killed anyone, no matter how they practice, they can't practice.

His eyes were cold, and he glanced at the dozen or so big men.

The other party was swept by Yan Qing's gaze and unconsciously lowered his head.

"Little demon, these people are weird!"

Du Ruhui whispered in a low voice and muttered in Li Yanqing's ear.

Yan Qing smiled slightly, "Shopkeeper, prepare food and drink...... The 300-portion set meal should be fast, and some forage should be added. The four of us, you watch it. ”

Kirin Wei carries dry food with him, and generally speaking, he does not buy it from liquor stores.

Moreover, it is unlikely that a small liquor shop will spend hundreds of people on food at once. Those who eat outside the liquor store and rely on the car to eat also eat the dry food they carry with them. The ones who really eat in the wine store are the dozen or so strong men.

This is actually a code!

The shopkeeper of the liquor store, about 50 years old, is a local.

He naturally recognized Li Yanqing, and when he heard that Li Yanqing wanted 300 fixed meals, why didn't he understand what Yanqing meant? Since it is the shopkeeper, it is the meticulous work of the Qilin Terrace, observing words and feelings, and dealing with it skillfully, it is not a problem.

So he hurriedly said: "Master Jun, wait a minute, Xiao Lao'er will go to the back kitchen to arrange." ”

If he replied, "I'm sorry, we don't have so much food here...... Ok, everything is working and there are no problems. But his answer was actually to tell Li Yanqing: Son, these people have problems, and I am about to report back to the top.

When Li Yanqing heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

The four of them sat down on the side, and Su Lie had quietly issued an order to the ink qilin outside the wine shop.

The ink unicorn is the elite of the unicorn guard. Not only are they brave and well-equipped, but more importantly, they have been rigorously trained and understand many of the unique gestures that Su Lie has created himself. On the surface, the ink qilin seemed defenseless, the same as before.

But in fact, they were already ready, just waiting for Su Lie's order to attack at any time.

Li Yanqing and the four of them sat down at the door of the wine shop.

The man immediately brought the food and drinks, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table as he placed the food. This is also a signal, which means to remind Li Yanqing: These people are all armed with weapons and are dangerous people. If Childe wants to do it, he must be careful.

Yan Qing raised his glass......

Everything was done in an instant.

Wang Fubao didn't see anything, but Du Ruhui found a clue.

He glanced at Yan Qing in surprise and didn't say anything.

At the same time, among the dozen or so strong men, one of them suddenly shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, check out!" ”

As he spoke, someone took out the usual copper coin from his bosom and placed it on the table. They were about to get up and go out, but Wang Fubao got Li Yanqing's instructions and walked up to them.

"Several, in such a hurry to leave, don't you have a ghost in your heart and are afraid of us?"

He was dressed in a military uniform, described as burly, and showed a bit of coercion.

The faces of the strong men changed, and they seemed to be a little flustered. At this time, a middle-aged man stood up, smiled on his face, and said softly: "Master Jun, you are laughing...... We're full of food and drink, and we're ready to go before you come, so what's there to be afraid of? ”

"Really?"

Wang Fubao glanced at the middle-aged man, "You, what's your name, where does this vehicle come from and where is it going?" ”

"This ...... Hehe, we are coming from Yanshi, preparing to go to Kaifeng. ”

Li Yanqing turned his head suddenly, "From Yanshi, go to Kaifeng?" Fu Bao, check their road guide and search their chariot. ”

In an instant, the middle-aged man's face changed.
