Slate bridgehead.

The sun is shining brightly, and the breeze is warm.

Xue Rengui watched Zhang Fugui leave in a hurry, his heart relaxed a little, and he couldn't help but look at Qin Huaidao, his sturdy young master is becoming more and more powerful and domineering, and the two of them dare to threaten each other, claiming to set foot in Zhangjia Village, but it's really cool, a good man should be like this, not afraid of everything.

200,000 guan is not a small number, Xue Rengui asked with a worried face: "Young master, if they jump over the wall in a hurry and kill it, we won't be able to catch up." ”

"They don't dare, they will suspect that we are hiding soldiers and horses in the dark." Qin Huaidao smiled nonchalantly.

"Will you really compensate and compromise?" Xue Rengui was still not at ease.

Qin Huaidao looked at the mountains in front of him, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and said with a smile: "This move is just a temptation, if you come up with compensation, it means that there are big people in it who can't be exposed, they admit it, and if they want to get through the crisis, let's arrange for someone to keep an eye on it secretly to see where the big people inside will go." ”

"It makes sense, but what if you don't compensate?" Xue Rengui asked.

"Then bring someone over and set foot in Zhangjia Village." Qin Huaidao looked domineering.

Xue Rengui looked surprised: "Why, isn't it 'Zangfeng'?" ”

"Not compensating means that there are no big people in it, they don't care, the loss also means that they don't want to reconcile, since they don't reconcile, 'Zangfeng' has become wishful thinking, so what's polite?" Zang Feng is not afraid of things, but he just doesn't want to participate in other people's fights, and it is thankless. ”

Xue Rengui nodded and said no more.

The two waited patiently, and after a while, a group of people drove a carriage over, Zhang Fugui walked in front, and when the carriage stopped at the bridge, Zhang Fugui stepped forward alone, saluted respectfully, and said: "There is gold in the carriage, enough for 200,000 yuan, and please raise your noble hand, my master said that he wants to make a friend of the adult, and the conditions are open casually, and he will never bargain." ”

Qin Huaidao threw Xue Rengui a look, Xue Rengui nodded knowingly, went up to check, and a huge wave turned in his heart - it was really compensated, there is really a big man in this villa, who could it be?

Qin Huaidao was also secretly frightened, he was actually blinded, who could be inside?

Prince Li Chengqian?

Or King Xi, the former crown prince Li Jiancheng?

One by one, his thoughts flashed, Qin Huaidao quickly regained his composure, and said: "Forget it, friends, everyone has different paths, it's still the same sentence, I don't stand in the way of your master, don't bother me again, today, when I haven't been here." ”

"Lord Xie raises his noble hand, and your lord's words will definitely be brought."

Qin Huaidao waved his hand, his face cold.

Zhang Fugui didn't say anything more, slowly retreated, and then turned to leave.

Xue Rengui looked at the gold in the carriage, almost blinded, nodded towards Qin Huaidao, drove the carriage across the slate bridge, staggered with Zhang Fugui, glanced at the other party, and soon came to the other side: "Young master, the quantity is not clear, but it is full of gold, it should be only a lot more." ”

"Let's go." Qin Huaidao said indifferently, looked back at the green Zhuangzi, a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes, jumped into the carriage, shook the reins, and walked forward.

After leaving a distance and making sure that Zhangjiacun couldn't see it, Qin Huaidao stopped the carriage and motioned Xue Rengui to step forward and admonish, "Shen Mei, are they still staring here?" ”

"Yes."

"Go back and remind them to send more people, I didn't expect that there were really big people in Zhangjia Village, they shouldn't dare to leave during the day, and they will definitely leave after dark, they must keep up and know where they are hiding next, otherwise we will be the ones who are passive." Qin Huaidao reminded.

"Don't worry, just do it when you turn around, and send some people from the village protection team to make sure that nothing goes wrong, but ......" Xue Rengui said and stopped here.

"What's wrong?" Qin Huaidao asked.

"But...... If Zhang Fugui bites back, the young master will be charged with knowing and not reporting. ”

"Bite back what?"

Qin Huaidao smiled nonchalantly: "We are just here to talk about the issue of compensation, his people have made me suffer a lot of losses, come to the door to question, it is reasonable to ask for compensation, no one can find fault with it, isn't the murderer still in the hands of Shen Mei and them?" Just don't die, as for who is inside, I don't know, who can help me? However, the person behind this is a decisive person, who can bend and stretch, and cannot be careless. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Huaidao remembered that Li Chengqian's temperament was cold, suspicious, fickle, and not a decisive person, and the one in Zhangjia Village was probably not, and there were other people, and the former prince was very likely.

There is also the name Zhang Fugui, which is a fake name nine times out of ten, but it also has to be verified.

As soon as Xue Rengui heard that it made sense, he no longer got entangled.

"Let's go...... Drive! Qin Huaidao shook the reins, and the carriage continued to move forward.

When he was about to arrive in Chang'an City, Qin Huaidao found a cloth to cover his face, led the horse into the city, and looked like an ordinary miscellaneous servant, the guards of the city knew Xue Rengui and let him go directly, but he didn't expect the dignified Protector Guild to do the thing of leading the horse and driving the car, and after entering the city, Qin Huaidao continued to play the role of a coachman.

When they arrived at the Protector's Mansion, the two entered through the side door, Qin Huaidao drove the carriage to the backyard warehouse, the wealth was moving, and it was blackmailed, so he couldn't show it, so he only asked Xue Rengui to help put it into the warehouse together, locked the door, and motioned Xue Rengui to drive the carriage away and come to the study by himself.

found that Li Jing was waiting in the study, accompanied by He'er, Qin Huaidao hurriedly saluted: "Shibo, why are you here?" ”

"I'll talk to you about something." Li Jing said.

He'er got up smartly and left, Qin Huaidao returned to the tea-making position and sat down, brought himself a cup of tea, and asked, "Shibo, why just send someone to report it, do you have to go there yourself?" ”

"The stakes are high, and others are not at ease." Li Jing said and looked at the door.

Qin Huaidao smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, no one will come here." ”

"That's good."

Li Jing's face was straight, and he said in a low voice: "There are two things that will happen in the court today, come and listen to your opinion, the first thing, the saint takes Hou Junji as the general manager of the Jiaohe River march, and leads the troops to attack Gaochang, the Tang army to the mouth, Gaochang King Qu Wentai was frightened and died of illness, and soon after his son Qu Zhisheng ascended the throne, Hou Junji besieged the city, Qu Zhisheng descended to the Tang Dynasty, Gaochang Kingdom three states, five counties, twenty-two cities, 8,000 households, more than 30,000 people belong to our dynasty, the saint intends to set up Xizhou in Gaochang, and set up the Anxi Protectorate in Jiaohe City, to target the Western Turks and manage the Western Regions, What do you think about this? ”

Jiaohe City is the Turpan of later generations, with a prominent location, especially the Anxi Protectorate, which has made a significant contribution to the stability of the Western Regions, Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "It is a good thing to expand the territory and promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"That's all?" Li Jing asked.

"Yes, that's a great thing, and it should be supported."

"Okay, let's talk about another thing, Quan Wanji knows, right?" Li Jing asked.

Qin Huaidao shook his head, there seemed to be this person in his memory, but it was very unfamiliar.

Li Jing looked at the door vigilantly, lowered his voice and said: "Li You, the king of Qi, is obsessed with flying eagles and horses, hunting and playing, and the governor of the palace, Shi Quan Wanji, is a strong and upright personality, and has repeatedly admonished, three days ago, the king of Qi somehow killed Quan Wanji, raised troops to rebel, and Liu Lan, the governor of Daizhou, responded. ”

"What?" Qin Huaidao was taken aback, instinctively feeling that something was wrong, King Qi was the fifth son of Li Er, a tyrant in Chang'an City, cross-sectional, misbehaving, typical gentleman, this kind of person has no ambition, just fun, good face, how can he rebel, even if Quan Wanji has repeatedly admonished, it is possible for King Qi to kill Quan Wanji in anger, but the rebellion will definitely not, there should be someone behind the back, not to mention that Liu Lan, the governor of Daizhou, responded.

If something goes wrong, it's a demon!

Qin Huaidao recalled carefully, there was no history in his memory, it was estimated that it was not a big deal, otherwise he would not have had no impression at all, and asked rhetorically: "What is the relationship between Liu Lan, the governor of Daizhou, and King Xi?" ”

"It was a subordinate of King Xi, in the early years of Zhenguan, Liang Shi occupied Shuofang, Liu Lan wrote a book to offer a plan to attack, the saint thought it was very good, appointed Liu Lan as the governor of Xiazhou, at that time Liang Shi led the Turkic soldiers stationed under the city, Liu Lan Yan did not fight with the flag, the thieves were suspicious, did not dare to attack, and fled at night, Liu Lan pursued, broke the thief soldiers, marched into Xiazhou, after the Liang division was pacified, Liu Lan was promoted to Fengzhou Assassin for his merits, and was recruited as the general of the right leading army, Zhenguan was promoted to the governor of Daizhou for 12 years." Li Jing explained.

Qin Huaidao didn't care about the words later, but remembered the first sentence, he was a subordinate of King Xi, and the information in it was big, the son of King Qi suddenly rebelled, and the governor of Daizhou responded, who believes that there is no problem behind this? After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Does Shi Bo know a person named Zhang Fugui?" ”

"I don't know." Li Jing recalled carefully, shook his head, and asked, "What's wrong with this person?" ”

"It's okay, just ask."

Qin Huai diverted from the topic: "Qizhou and Daizhou are not very far away, and the joint rebellion is in a corner, but it is not easy to do, what is the plan of the imperial court?" ”

"The saint wants to raise troops and horses from the nearby states of Qi and Dai, and then lead a forbidden army led by Qiu Xinggong, the general of the right Xiaowei, to rehabilitate him, the old man wants to hear your opinion, what are the odds?" Li Jing asked.
