"This ......"

Qin Yiming was suddenly smart, and his face was ever-changing, like sitting on pins and needles.

Xu Changqing's brows were also slightly furrowed, and he couldn't understand the situation for a while.

The Great Western Army?

Who is the Great Western Army?

That's the person who offered the thief Zhang Xianzhong, how could they come?

But after a while, Xu Changqing came back to his senses and smiled at Qin Yiming: "General Qin, if you have leisure, why don't you go next door and take a temporary rest?" ”

Qin Yiming's pupils shrank suddenly, and he thought he had heard it wrong, so he hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing: "Master Hou......"

Xu Changqing smiled: "It's okay. Let's listen to what the people of the Great Western Army have to say first. ”

Qin Yiming has actually always maintained a high vigilance against Xu Changqing, after all, the Han people's words are a bit fierce, 'If you are not of my race, your heart will be different'.

But at this time, he really felt Xu Changqing's sincerity, and bowed deeply to Xu Changqing, so he didn't say anything more, and walked quickly behind the screen next door.

Xu Changqing rested for a while, adjusted his mind, and then beckoned his soldiers to invite the envoy of the Great Western Army in.

Soon, two envoys from the Great Western Army came quickly.

The leader was a middle-aged scribe, a little chubby, well-maintained, so that people couldn't see his age clearly, and his face was full of smiles.

There is also a young general, who is about the same age as Xu Changqing, quite heroic, tall and straight, with extraordinary momentum, especially a pair of dark eyes, full of strong confidence and courage.

The middle-aged scribe obviously had a great deal of ingenuity towards Xu Changqing, like a pug who spread out his smile before he met.

This suddenly made the young general next to him a little unhappy, and he snorted softly.

The middle-aged scribe was slightly embarrassed, but he adjusted after a moment, and saluted Xu Changqing respectfully: "The junior minister Pan Duao, the military advisor of the Great Western Army, has seen the Marquis of Daming Haicheng, and the Marquis is healthy and ......."

As he spoke, he introduced the young general next to Xu Changqing, "Master Hou, this is the son of my family's king, and his confidant Zhang Dingguo ......"

'Zhang Dingguo? ’

Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but suddenly feel clever.

What the fuck.

Isn't this the legendary Li Dingguo......

No wonder, no wonder this guy is sharp, he is a little uncomfortable.

"Hehe, Master Pan, General Zhang, I don't know, you two came all the way from Shudi, what are you doing? I don't think we had much of a relationship before. ”

Xu Changqing quickly adjusted and looked at the two with a smile.

Li Dingguo didn't speak, but looked at Xu Changqing very calmly, as if the momentum around Xu Changqing also made him a little uncomfortable, but it was not easy to show.

Pan Duao hurriedly smiled and said: "Master Hou, before, we really didn't have much friendship, but the king of my family heard that Master Hou was going to marry a new wife, and he was also quite excited, and specially asked me to come and present a congratulatory gift......

As he spoke, he hurriedly glanced at Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo had regained his composure at this time, and gave the gift list to Xu Changqing without humility or arrogance.

Xu Changqing took it, glanced at it, frowned slightly and quickly relaxed.

I don't know what Zhang Xianzhong thinks, the gift list is very heavy, there are 10,000 taels of silver alone, and there are all kinds of cherished treasures from Shudi, which are almost worth about 20,000 taels of silver.

As the saying goes, 'reactive power is not punished'.

Even if Zhang Xianzhong occupies the land of Shu, he isolates himself and is not very rich, and 20,000 taels of Xu Changqing is not worth mentioning, and it may be a matter for him.

At this time, he took out such a generous gift, which must be unusual.

Seeing that Xu Changqing didn't speak, Pan Duao and Li Dingguo didn't speak, Pan Duao looked at Xu Changqing very flatteringly, and Li Dingguo frowned slightly, obviously very cautious, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, Xu Changqing let out a long breath, and then said: "Master Pan, General Li, I have admired the name of the Eight Kings for a long time. The Eight Kings are so sincere at this time, I can give gifts to my subordinates, but, I don't know, what do the Eight Kings want me to do with Xu Changqing? ”

Seeing that Xu Changqing finally opened his mouth, Pan Duao and Li Dingguo were both slightly relieved, and Pan Duao hurriedly smiled: "Master Hou, you are laughing." At a time when you are overjoyed, how dare we make a request to you, it is enough for you to accept the kindness of my Onishi and the king of my family......"

Saying that, he stopped inking, and sued Xu Changqing, that is, he stepped back with Li Dingguo.

Leaving the official hall quickly, Li Dingguo couldn't help but whisper: "Strategist, what do you think?" What do you mean? We gave Xu Changqing, a traitor, a gift of 20,000 taels, how can you not say what we wanted? Also, the person surnamed Xu deceived people too much, and he even called his father-in-law the eight kings, which was really unbearable! ”

Pan Duao sighed: "Yichun, after all these years, don't you know the bird nature of these dog officials?" What is the identity of this Marquis of Haicheng? I'm afraid he won't be able to look down on our little silver. Let's make a request directly, aren't we looking for death? As for the name, we're here to ask someone to do something, so let's just let him go. Could it be that at that time, we can still correct him? ”

"This ......"

Li Dingguo was speechless for a while, thinking about it carefully, it was like this......

But he was still unhappy and said, "Then you can't just forget it." Our money can't be wasted, right? That's our hard-earned money. ”

"Hehe, a pure, don't be impatient. Be patient, if nothing happens, the Marquis of Haicheng will summon us later, even, just tonight. Let's go, this sea city is really fucking prosperous, let's go find a restaurant and have a drink first. ”

……

Pan Duao and the two left, and on the side of the official hall, Xu Changqing invited Qin Yiming to the guest hall again, and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, what can you see?" ”

Qin Yiming was extremely cautious at this time, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't speak in a hurry, and after a while, he said, "Master Hou, offer a thief...... This person who sacrificed the thief was cruel and vicious, with ill intentions, and it was estimated that this matter was most likely coming towards our stone pillar......"

Xu Changqing smiled and nodded, expressing his agreement with Qin Yiming's statement, although this guy does not have too many outstanding features, but it is not bad if he is a general.

said: "It's been more than ten days since the announcement from the imperial court was issued, right?" Even if he hasn't announced it to the world yet, it is not surprising that with the shrewdness of the thief, he can get the news in advance. ”

Qin Yiming was a clever man, and he already understood what Xu Changqing meant, and after a moment, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said: "Master Hou, in the past few years, although the Great Western Army and my Shizhu side have been hostile, there has been no direct frontal conflict. I'm afraid, this canonization of my aunt touched them...... This ......"

Looking at Qin Yiming's appearance as if he was sitting on pins and needles and had an indescribable taste, Xu Changqing sighed in his heart, this kind of problem is indeed difficult to deal with, no wonder all dynasties have been cautious and cautious about this, and the degree of it is really difficult to grasp.

"Qin Ye, what do you think?"

Xu Changqing gave Qin Yiming some time to think and looked into his eyes.

“……”

Qin Yiming also understood what Xu Changqing meant at this time, and the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously.

The imperial court gave Qin Liangyu such a generous reward, and the female general was made a marquis, which simply opened the first peace of the dynasty, and the subsequent rewards and preferential treatment will definitely not be less.

Although this is what they deserve to a certain extent, it is difficult to implement it without the promotion of powerful figures such as Xu Changqing.

The two of them, Qin and Ma, already owe Xu Changqing this favor.

And the key is that Xu Changqing is at his peak, and he has a good impression of the two of them...... The future is promising.

If he Qin Yiming hid it again at this time, making Xu Changqing feel unhappy, how could he bear this responsibility?

His aunt knows about it, and she can't break his leg?

Without dwelling for a long time, Qin Yiming knelt on the ground again and kowtowed deeply to Xu Changqing: "It is an honor for the whole clan to be able to serve the Son of Heaven, for the court, and for the Hou Ye!" Even though the thief is powerful, the lowly rank is still willing to defend the stone pillar for the imperial court......"

"Huh."

Xu Changqing smiled and didn't speak in a hurry.

To be honest, Qin Yiming's answer made Xu Changqing not very satisfied, there were too many tricks in it.

To put it bluntly, it just wants to hold the benefits, but doesn't want to do practical things, a greasy horse.

But on the flip side, that's not a bad thing.

It must be known that neither the Qin family nor the Ma family were at their peak back then, they were already very weak at this time, and Qin Yiming's answer made people more down-to-earth.

If he directly expressed his loyalty and wanted to kill Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army, then Xu Changqing would have a headache.

One of the core skeletons of the Great Western Army, Li Dingguo is here.

This guy is the same age as Xu Changqing, with the foundation of the Qin family and the Ma family, can he beat a hero like Li Dingguo?

Not to mention Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and others.

A few minutes later, seeing that Qin Yiming was almost a little stiff, Xu Changqing suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Qin, I heard that you also have firearms soldiers, if you have time at this time, how about we go to my model army's armory workshop for a drink?" ”

"Huh?"

After being stunned for a moment, Qin Yiming was clever, suddenly came back to his senses, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "It is an honor to serve the Hou Ye, it is a humble honor......

……

In one afternoon, Xu Changqing didn't see anyone else, and they were all accompanying Qin Yiming, which made Qin Yiming a little flattered for a while.

The two sides quickly reached a number of agreements.

In private, the model army general gave the Qin family and the Ma family 3,000 guns, 100,000 bullets, and a number of weapons and blades such as turtledove guns, Baizi guns, three-eyed guns, and 6-pounder guns of the Franc machine.

Really calculated, the value of at least seventy or eighty thousand taels is much heavier than the gift they gave to Xu Changqing.

When the agreement was reached, Qin Yiming was moved to tears, and he desperately kowtowed to Xu Changqing, and he didn't know that he had broken the kowtow.

Xu Changqing couldn't stop him, so he could only let him come.

Sending Qin Yiming to stay at Haicheng Hotel, on the way back to the official hall, Xu Changqing was also a little melancholy in his heart for a while.

There are many things that cannot be said and cannot be said.

However, the toast problem is a cancer in the Ming Dynasty and even in Huaxia, and we must find an opportunity to solve it as soon as possible.

If he has the opportunity, Xu Changqing must meet Qin Liangyu.

Back in the official hall, as expected, the Dashun army also sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, and the person who gave the gift was still Xu Changqing's old acquaintance, Li Zicheng's old soldier Wang Si, and the husband of Zuo Mengmei in history.

However, Da Shunjun's side obviously didn't have much desire for Xu Changqing, it was more about pulling relationships, Xu Changqing thought about it for a while, so he didn't see Wang Si immediately, and it was not too late to talk about it tomorrow.

simply finished dinner, but asked people to recruit Pan Duao and Li Dingguo.

In this state now, driving a sheep is also driving, and driving a group of sheep is also driving, in fact, there is no difference, just look at Xu Changqing, the shepherd's whip, where to drive them!
