Chen Pi opened the way, Liu Shang sat on the back of the tiger, this strange combination of people, just like this, appeared in front of the grassland army, and soon, someone told the situation here, good guys, they simply didn't take them seriously.

Who is the person sitting on the back of the tiger, there is no need to say, now no one in the world knows, Liu Shang, the heavenly master of the Tang Kingdom, surrendered a tiger as a mount, and the tiger can still speak, there are too many legends about the heavenly master, and every story is a miracle when it reaches the grassland.

The grassland army silently moved out of the way, Liu Sheng looked at these people curiously, they were not different from the Chinese people, they all had a nose and two eyes, and a head on their shoulders, they also looked at Liu Shang curiously and frightened.

At the head of the city, the general Su Zhan was standing on the head of the city, watching Liu Shang and his entourage, approaching the city gate as if they were in a no-man's land, and the Heavenly Master actually came to the northern frontier in person.

"Open the city gate and welcome the Heavenly Master into the city with Ben in person." Su Zhan hurriedly ordered.

With Liu Shang in the grassland, the army was not so bold that he dared to storm the city at this time.

Rumble.

The city gate opened slowly, Su Zhan appeared in the city gate in a military uniform and scarlet cloak, he did not ride a horse, it should be that if he saw the heavenly master as if he saw His Majesty, riding a horse was an offense to His Majesty, this was Li Sheng's words, so he took the soldiers out of the city gate to greet the heavenly master.

"Hahaha, Ben Hou has been eager to see the Heavenly Master for a long time, but as an important garrison in the northern Xinjiang, he can't leave well, and he doesn't want the Heavenly Master to control the Northern Frontier, which is really fortunate." Su Zhan is so cool, he is not called a position, and the title of knighthood means that he welcomes the Heavenly Master on behalf of His Majesty at this moment, not as a general in Northern Xinjiang, if he is like that in his military position, he will be very detained when he speaks or something, this is a smart person.

But Liu Shang didn't understand the politeness at all, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, his face was full of vicissitudes, his eyes were tired, looking at those soldiers, each morale seemed to be high, but there was a breath of breath hidden.

Fortunately, the people in the city took out a small part of the military rations in the Soviet War, although they were all hungry and yellow-skinned, they were all alive, their eyes were empty and dull, and when they saw the tiger under the seat of Liu Shang's Great Heavenly Master, they only glanced at it slightly, and they continued to nest in the corner weakly.

Liu Shang knew in his heart that the northern Xinjiang was really exhausted, the reinforcements had not yet arrived, and the ammunition and food were exhausted, and now that the season was near, close to the northern Xinjiang, he could master the biting chill, not to mention the soldiers and civilians here.

"The general is polite, alas, hard work." Liu Shang said to him.

Su Zhan didn't expect that the Heavenly Master would be so easy to speak, so he would be relieved.

"It's not hard, it's not hard, the Heavenly Master, please enter the city." Su Zhan invited Liu Shang into the city.

Liu Sheng said that it was hard, naturally because he saw the situation here, Su Zhan, as a nobleman of the Tang Kingdom, and had a heavy responsibility, he could still do it without giving up the civilians in the city, this is the original meaning of Liu Shang's hard work.

He doesn't like the kind of person who sacrifices others at every turn, that kind of person, even if he has great ability, in his eyes, he is worthless, he thinks that Su Zhan is very good, at least the first impression is good in his eyes, it is very good.

This is the reason why he chose Tang Guo as the first, not that he came to Tang State, and the Heavenly Master Dao Palace was in Tang State, but in the past half a year, in the experience of Tang State, the officials and people he has seen, each of them is silently guarding their own duties and doing what they should do, and the system and norms of Tang State allow every person to enjoy the security given by this country.

For the first time, he was in a small village in Dacang Mountain, those simple villagers, they would pay their grain on time, Liu Shang asked, is this reasonable?

The chief replied, If we don't pay it, and others don't pay it, then my Tang Kingdom is so huge, how can it operate normally, this is our home, the Tang Kingdom protects us, and we must also do our part.

Liu Shang was silent, this was the first time he really knew the strongest empire in this world.

The second time was in Qizhou.

In the patrol yamen, that time, he met the officials of this country, and he asked Shi Bai Yanshun, have you let the dog eat your conscience?

Although Bai Yanshun was ashamed, he dared to look directly at Liu Shang's gaze, and even accepted the capital of Changshi and the Patrol Mansion a little hard, Bai Yanshun smiled bitterly and said, We are guilty, Liu Ye is indeed a scourge of Qizhou, I can't give up this body, kill the thief and count the ball, but I can do this.

Don't underestimate this, the Heavenly Master only saw that we were cowardly and inactive, but we kept the last bottom line of the law, and the lower officials were incapable of dealing with Liu Ye, causing the people under his rule to be in dire straits, and the crime deserved death.

These are the officials of the Tang State, and they have their own laws and moral bottom lines.

The third time was the wealthy businessman Xu Maocai who met on the road.

He is a wealthy businessman, but he has no status in front of scholars, and is even looked down upon, and he licks his face to flatter, but Liu Sheng understands from other people's chats that this businessman is a great good man, and they all say that wealthy businessmen have no country, but he is different, or the businessmen of Tang are different.

He did good deeds, was helpful, built bridges and paved roads, and his business was very large, involving many industries, including chariots and horses, jewelry, boats, and salt and iron, but he took the initiative to pay income tax, which was the tax law of the Tang Kingdom.

Liu Shang asked him, are you willing to do it?

Xu Maocai said with a smile, Heavenly Master, look, can I be safe in the Tang Kingdom?

Liu Shang nodded in approval.

Xu Maocai said again, I waited for the tax and silver, you paid a percent, I paid a percent, in exchange for my Tang Kingdom is strong and prosperous, the heavenly master asked me if I was willing, naturally I was willing!

Everyone in this country is doing their best, and the officials and men in the country are also doing their best, you say, such a country, Liu Shang wants it as the first choice, is there anything wrong?

Su Zhan, Di Hanchen, Wei Xian, Fang Shuji, these civil and military generals are all working hard to build the country in their hearts, Li Sheng, a powerful emperor, is not trying to make the Tang Kingdom stronger with various calculations?

Liu Shang entered the city, and Su Zhan was going to order the preparation of a banquet, but Liu Shang refused, and said directly: "If these can be avoided, they will be exempted, and I know that it is not easy for you." ”

Su Zhan said in his heart, this Heavenly Master is really polite, didn't the court say that the Heavenly Master has a bland temperament? This doesn't look like what those old guys in Chang'an said.

If it weren't for his actions, Liu Sheng would not be so polite to him at this moment.

"Okay, since the Heavenly Master has ordered it, then forget it, Su is a big boss, and the Heavenly Master has important things to deal with in the northern Xinjiang." Su Zhan still asked about this doubt.

Although the arrival of the Heavenly Master temporarily relieved some of the pressure, outside the city, the besieging grassland army was still eyeing the city, and he would not relax his vigilance because of a short respite.

"I sent a big gift to the general to solve the crisis in northern Xinjiang." Liu Shang said with an unfathomable smile.

When Su Zhan heard this, he immediately asked in surprise: "Oh, can the Heavenly Master help me break the thief chief?" ”

"To be precise, a person who can help you break the thief." Liu Shang sells Guanzi.

Su Zhan was already impatient, but he still said patiently: "I don't know which virtuous person is present?" His eyes were fiery on the inspection, but he didn't find Xu Cong who was still wearing the Huotou Army uniform.

No one thought that a small soldier wearing the uniform of the Firehead Army would appear in the Heavenly Master team.

Xu Cong is also smart, he knows that what the Heavenly Master is talking about at this moment, so he took the initiative to stand up and salute Su Zhanxing: "Xu Cong meets the general, I have a way to help the general break the thief." ”
