In Chang'an City, which was originally silent, several shouts suddenly came out, causing many people to take risks and walk out of their hiding places in order to find out.

The Xiliang Army, which used to patrol the streets, disappeared, and occasionally saw one or two lone soldiers, and they also desperately rushed to the barracks.

"What's the commotion outside the door?" Jia Xu was sitting at home drinking tea when he suddenly heard a noise in the city, as if someone was holding a celebration banquet.

The housekeeper refilled the cup for Jia Xu and said: "The little ones have all inquired, and they say that someone is paying military salaries in the camp, and all of them are paid in gold. ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "Oh? This is a new thing, isn't it the two generals Li Guo? ”

Jia Xu could only think of Li Dao or Guo Yan, because in the entire Chang'an City, only they were the strongest, so it was very likely that they were one of them.

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "The villain is not present, and he does not dare to speculate, you can only go and see it for yourself." ”

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "Okay, you hurry up and prepare a carriage, and I'll leave now." ”

The butler did not dare to neglect this matter, and immediately let his subordinates set up a carriage, and he himself acted as a coachman.

In the barracks, Cao Ming is arranging for people to pay military salaries, if the refugee camp is afraid that it will be robbed directly, and the barracks are a place that pays attention to order, and every soldier is patiently queuing up, waiting for his own share of military salary.

Dian Wei observed for a while, and whispered to Cao Ming: "Niangniang, although these Xiliang troops are strong, they are not good in terms of quality, even if they are successfully subdued, it will be difficult to use them in a short period of time. ”

Cao Ming didn't know that this was a bet: "But it's too difficult to be in charge now, I have to use both bad and good boys, and the only way is to mix into the Yuzhou army, so that their literacy can be improved." ”

Cao Ming admired Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold general, not to mention the strict discipline of the Yue family's army, and the combat effectiveness was not ordinarily strong.

"Isn't the strength of the Yuzhou Army too strong?" Dian Wei was worried that if Yang Heng turned against the water, it would be a devastating disaster for the Cao family.

Cao Ming shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Yang Heng only has the right to command the troops now, and the important right to send troops is here, without my jade seal, he can't move the Yuzhou army, and there is Shangguan Qing to supervise it, it won't be much of a problem." ”

Cao Ming is not worried that Yang Heng will rebel, once the emperor is taken to Xuchang and a new imperial court is formed, his soldiers will be owned by the imperial court, and it will be right to give him a false post when the time comes.

At this time, there was a noise at the gate of the camp, and a carriage broke in, what Cao Ming didn't expect was that none of the Xiliang soldiers stopped it, just like the emperor was sitting in the carriage.

"Dian Wei, you're watching here." Cao Ming smelled the smell of danger, and if the distribution of military salaries was interrupted, his plan would be over.

Dian Wei saw that Cao Ming had gone to deal with it, and immediately ordered the surrounding guards: "In case the situation changes, you will protect Niangniang and rush out of the city, and I will break the queen." ”

"No!" The guards all put their hands on the hilt of the knife, and if the situation changed, they would immediately take Cao Ming out.

It didn't take long for the carriage to stop, and then a man got out of the carriage, looking nearly fifty years old, and his clothes seemed to be official clothes.

Cao Ming stepped forward and asked, "I don't know the name and official position of the adult, what do you have to do in the barracks?" ”

The housekeeper angrily reprimanded Cao Ming and said: "Where did the wild girl come from, she dared to block the way of Lord Shangshu, she wanted to die!" ”

Cao Ming's heart complained for a while, isn't it just wearing civilian clothes, as for saying that I look like a wild girl.

"Don't be rude!" Jia Xu immediately dismissed the housekeeper, thinking that if he could pay the army, he would definitely not be an ordinary person, and he didn't have any common sense to know people, so wouldn't he be this scholar for nothing.

Cao Ming waved his hand and said: "It's not in the way, there are many people who are rude to me, I don't care about him." ”

"In Xia Jia Xu, I don't know who the girl is?" Jia Xu looked Cao Ming up and down, although the other party was dressed ordinarily, he looked extravagant.

A general next to him who had just taken the gold reminded Jia Xu: "Lord Shangshu, this is the queen!" ”

"Isn't Niangniang already" Jia Xu thought to himself that the queen was dead, how could there be another queen.

Cao Ming explained: "I didn't die, but in order for these gold to arrive safely, I did release the news of death." ”

"Long live the mother!" Some of the armorers who had taken the money couldn't help but shout, and the rest just shook their heads and did not object to this cheer.

When Jia Xu heard this cheer, she said in her heart that things had become bad, the queen's move was to buy people's hearts, and the only way was to send someone to stop her, and then hand her over to Li Dao and others.

"What does Lord Jia think?" Cao Ming's heart was half cold, and now his life was all on him.

"Niangniang came to Beijing just to reunite with the saint?" Jia Xu wanted to hear the reason why Cao Ming came to Beijing, and then choose whether to help her or dispose of her.

Cao Ming said truthfully: "I want to save the Holy Lord, you must know that the hearts of the Xiliang generals are not aligned, and there will be fights after a long time, so it is better to invite the Holy Driver to another place to avoid their scourge." ”

"Do you know the consequences of failure?" Jia Xu knew that what Cao Ming said was true, and now the city was peaceful on the surface, but in fact it was divided.

Cao Ming nodded and said, "Since I dare to come to Chang'an City, I am already ready, but now I need the help of someone, what does Master Jia think?" ”

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "I won't support you, but I won't oppose it either, when you act, I will leave Chang'an City, so as not to get into trouble." ”

Jia Xu chose not to offend either side, so that no matter which side wins, it will bring benefits to himself.

Cao Ming arched his hand and said: "Thank you, Lord Jia, it's just that you still have to cover up the matter of my military salary." ”

Cao Ming's hanging heart finally landed, Jia Xu's words still have weight, as long as he is willing to come forward to lie, his plan will be successful.

Jia Xu replied: "Niangniang is polite, I will explain to a few generals and help you make the lie true." ”

Jia Xu admired Cao Ming's courage very much, and it can be said that there is no general who dares to take risks to come to Chang'an City.

Cao Ming added: "By the way, I will stay in the post house in the city, and I bother you to say a word to the saint." ”

Cao Ming remembered that he was in the imperial city now, although the emperor was not very old now, he already had a nobleman who served in bed, and he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid it, so he had to find a way to get through.

Jia Xu felt inappropriate: "How good is this, Niangniang can't live in the post house, I will immediately order someone to enter the palace to report." ”

"Okay" Cao Ming thought that she had to ask Momotsuki for help at the moment, hoping that she had drugs or something.

Jia Xu hurriedly got in the car and ran to the palace, since he decided to help Cao Ming, he had to think of a good way to mess up the situation from balance, and the rest was up to Cao Ming himself.
