Chang'an in mid-October ushered in a rare autumn rain. The dilapidated warehouses and yamen of the Dongwei Bridge Warehouse are crumbling in the dripping rain. The soldiers guarding Taicang were dressed in robes and hats, shivering in the heavy rain, waiting for the time to change shifts.

At this moment, a team of horses dressed in black lily suddenly appeared in the distance. After the horse team, countless mule carts carried neatly hung Kaiyuan Tongbao and grain in sacks, and slowly advanced towards South Taicang.

"Yes...... Be...... It's a salary!" a sharp-eyed soldier who was guarding the warehouse shouted in shock.

"Where did you come from?" another soldier also woke up from his stupor.

"No, it's the banner of Jiannan Dao Cui Jieshuai, and it's the autumn salary of Bashu!" The leader of the team guarding the warehouse shouted in surprise, "You wait to guard the door, and wait for me to report to the Taicang Bureau!"

However, he ran a few steps, but stopped blankly. The Taicang Department collapsed due to disrepair half a month ago. There was no one in the department for a long time. The Taicang Order has not been in office for a year.

"I should directly report to the Mingdemen Divine Strategy Army...... the leader of the squad is hot, such a major good news, naturally inform the Divine Strategy Divisions first, in order to get the most generous reward. He flew towards the south gate of Chang'an City.

Looking at the dilapidated statue of Dongwei Qiaocang, looking at the gatekeepers who shrunk into a ball in front of the Taicang gate and snuggled up to each other for warmth, the people in the horse team who came to Changle Slope looked at each other, and they all showed disdain.

"This is Taicang in Chang'an, which is not as good as the firewood house of the Sichuan City Mansion. ”

"Chang'an has been short of money for a long time, and it has become dilapidated!"

"South Taicang has withered so far, even if no one takes care of it, someone should always shut it down, right?"

"Chang'an has long been left without a person in charge!"

"Why do we have to travel thousands of miles to deliver food?"

The soldiers of the horse team in black clothes and black hats stood tall in front of the gate of Dongwei Bridge and Cang, talking and laughing loudly, as if no one was around, a rebellious and untamed atmosphere. The soldiers in front of the Taicang gate lowered their heads and did not dare to speak more.

The tooth soldiers who come to Chang'an from all over the country have always been domineering, not to mention the soldiers who send money to Chang'an to spend, and they are even more vigorous. At this critical moment of the handover of food and salary, no one dared to offend the soldiers of Fang Zhen's guards, otherwise even if the soldiers were generous and spared them from dying, the captain in the Shence Army would come over and slaughter them with a knife.

Whoever dares to delay the handover of food and salary, there is no forgiveness for killing, this is Qiu Shiliang's rule.

At this moment, a war horse with a pure silver body suddenly walked to the front of the team. Immediately sat a tall and mighty man with a straight waist and a well-proportioned figure. In the sky that is about to darken, this man's sturdy figure is easily reminiscent of a humanoid leopard.

As soon as he reached the front of the line, the soldiers who had been talking and laughing before all became silent, and sincerely bowed their heads and rode their horses to get out of the way.

"We're here to pay for it, not to find fault. It's not our turn to take care of Chang'an's affairs. The man spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and deep, full of mature charm.

"It's Yongdaxia, uh...... Yongdu head. Everyone said in unison.

On the Suzaku Street of Chang'an City under the clouds, thousands of fast horse's hooves are like thunder, running wildly along the street, breaking through the rain. Qiu Feiying, the leader of the demons of Changsu, led Zhao Huan and Dong Yan, the commanders of the left and right armies of Shence, to ride three horses and run at the forefront of the cavalry. Behind them were the sergeants of the Gyeonggi camp of Shence.

These soldiers are all descendants of Qiu Shiliang, the most favored, the most relied on, and the most powerful soldiers in Chang'an City. All the handovers of the pay were handled by them.

Qiu Feiying is the highest martial arts and the most loyal one among Qiu Shiliang's dozens of fake sons, Qiu Shiliang promoted him to the head of the Changsu group of demons, and took care of the forces of the North Gate Changshang for him. Originally, his surname was Dou, but since he followed Qiu Shiliang, he changed his surname to Qiu and served his master as a nephew, showing his loyalty.

The two branch officials Zhao Huan and Dong Yan who followed him were also born as fakes, and they were the two best arithmetic among the demons in Changsu, and they were dedicated to taking care of food and salary for Qiu Shiliang.

In addition to maintaining order in Chang'an Palace City all day long, one of the biggest responsibilities of this team is to take care of the food. Once a contingent of levants entered Beijing, they pounced on them like vicious dogs that smelled blood, and they would protect the food and salaries to the death, and none of them would be taken by others.

This year, they haven't been out for a long time.

The Mingde Gate, the Anhua Gate, and the Qixia Gate opened in front of them at the same time, and the horse team that galloped along the street did not stop at all, and the fast horses flew through the three gates, like a pack of wolves coming out of the mountain, and galloping towards Changle Slope, which was nine miles away.

When they came to the Dongwei Bridge Warehouse, they were surprised to find that in this short period of time, the troops who were paying for the salary had piled up all the money and grain neatly in the warehouse of the East Wei Bridge Warehouse under the guidance of the Taicang soldiers.

Millions of dollars and millions of stones of grain were unloaded from the mule carts.

Qiu Feiying, Zhao Huan, and Dong Yan came to the front of the guards with a group of panting Shence Gyeonggi camp soldiers, and they were extremely curious: Whose team is this, and the action is so strong.

"Qiu Feiying, the protector of the right army of Shence, is here, whose general is here, it's hard work!" Qiu Feiying circled his horse, circled in front of the two armies, and raised his head and said in a loud voice.

"Xiaguan will be the head of the Sichuan Mansion Yongqiang, I have seen the Lord of the Zhonghu Army, and he is equipped with heavy armor, so it is inconvenient to dismount, forgive me. The leader of the charge army will bow his hand.

"Yongqiang?"

"Yonghaichuan?"

"Yongqiang, who killed the Thunder Ya Witch?"

"The Yong Daxia who killed the wizards of the Southern Witch Country in Huichuan Mansion?"

"The one in Lei Gong's play?"

"I've seen a real person!"

Qiu Feiying hasn't dropped much, he has fried the pot behind his back. He suddenly looked at the one in front of him differently. He had never seen a tooth general with such a loud name, and even his own Gyeonggi camp was like thunder.

"It turned out to be General Yong, and I am fortunate to be happy. Qiu Feiying said loudly, "But I don't know if the food and salary can be enough this time?"

"According to the amount of the imperial court, it will be divided equally between the two rivers, together with the tea tax, the commercial tax, the salt and iron tax, and make up the arrears of two years ago, a total of four million yuan, and one million stone grains. The money is subject to Kaiyuan Tongbao, the grain is based on rice, and the details have been included in the account books. Yongqiang said in a deep voice.

As soon as his words fell, a sergeant beside him immediately flew off his horse and presented an account book of Liangchuan grain and salary collection to Qiu Feiying's horse with both hands along with Cui Pi's recital.

Zhao Huan and Dong Yan, who were on both sides of Qiu Feiying, flew off their horses at the same time, and accepted the document representing millions of dollars in fear.

"Cui Jieshuai is worried about the court, and his loyalty can show the sun and the moon, and he is really worthy of being the pillar of the family and country. Qiu Feiying waited patiently for a moment, and when he saw Zhao Huan and Dong Yan nodding at him, he immediately exclaimed, "General Yong and your brothers have worked hard, please trouble you to stay in the Taicang Department for a while, and wait for me to finish counting the actual amount of food and salary, so that I can ask you for credit in front of the Heavenly Family." ”

"I don't dare to take credit for it, as long as I can wait for a little repair in the city after the count, I can recover my vitality, and I feel the kindness of my lords. Yongqiang said lightly.

"General Yong is too polite. You have come from afar, and the soldiers of our Gyeonggi camp should personally escort you into the city, and we must also do the friendship of the landlord. Qiu Feiying beckoned, and all the soldiers of the thousands of soldiers from the Gyeonggi camp behind him dismounted, and began the inventory process under the leadership of Zhao Huan and Dong Yan.

It took half the night to count. Although the money and grain handed over by Bashu were neatly packaged and easy to count, millions of dollars and millions of stones of grain were difficult to count just once.

What's more, it was already dark when they turned it in. In order to count, the soldiers of the Gyeonggi camp also needed to light torches. But tonight it was a rare autumn rain in Chang'an, and the South Taicang warehouse was leaking on all sides, and the torches were lit and extinguished, which made the counting soldiers and branch officials miserable.

Finally counted clearly, Zhao Huan and Dong Yan checked the results of their calculations, confirmed that they were correct, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time, they were secretly surprised. The account book given by Bashu should be the number at the beginning of the escort. In the process of transporting grain, this team did not lose a grain of rice or a penny.

It's nothing short of a miracle.

Although their grain was packed in sacks according to the method handed down by Liu Yan, and the money was also made with brand new hemp rope, there was no bump at all along the way, and all of them were transported, which was difficult for even the Cao pawn troops under Liu Yan's command back then.

"But the point is clear?" Yongqiang asked.

"Clear, clear, clear. Qiu Feiying hurriedly said. He could clearly feel that the force was showing great impatience. But as long as Yongqiang didn't speak, they stood silently one by one without saying a word. This not only reflects Yongqiang's absolute authority in the army, but also reflects the iron military discipline of this army.

Although such a team has less than 1,000 people, Qiu Feiying knows that 10,000 people from the Shence Army are given for nothing. If you want this strong army to come to pay for food next time, then you must not neglect them.

"General Lao Yong has been waiting for a long time, I will take all my comrades to the barracks of my Gyeonggi camp to rest, and tomorrow I will kill pigs and sheep and reward all brothers!" Qiu Feiying said loudly.

"Thank you, Lord Zhonghujun!" Yongqiang said in a deep voice, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was very peaceful. Qiu Feiying trembled in his ears when he heard it, this is the style of a famous general.

He immediately sent an army of 2,000 men into the Taicang Department to guard the grain in the South Taicang. And he led the remaining Gyeonggi soldiers to escort the retained army led by Yongqiang into the city through Myeongdeok Gate.

Because of the arrival of Bashu's food, the south of Chang'an City was open all night this night so that the Gyeonggi camp could do business. This is the convenient door that Qiu Shiliang opened for the payment of food and wages.

Accompanied by Qiu Feiying, Yongqiang rode his horse into the south gate of Chang'an City, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Didn't you come here?" Qiu Feiying suddenly asked curiously.

"Take Lychee Road, Meridian Valley, no one is stuck in the neck. Yongqiang said lightly.

"By land?" Qiu Feiying was even more surprised. The land route is closer than the water route, but it is also more dangerous and difficult to walk, and they have no less money for a grain of rice, how did they do it?!

Seeing his expression, the sergeants behind Yongqiang all laughed.
