Jiaoguoluo, the first leader of the Qingtang region, this land, also named after him. However, the Song people still like to call it Qingtang, because the capital of Jiaoguoluo is Qingtang City, and many Qingtang people also call themselves as such.

Under Zhao Xu's explanation, Tang Ning learned that Qingtang not only produced horses, but also the famous Qingtang horses.

Tall and has good physical strength. Almost all of the horses paid tribute by the Qingtang people were sent to the Western Army by the emperor, and none were left.

Jiaoluo, the hero of Qingtang, honestly paid tribute when he was alive. His son, Dong Yu, who is wise and strategic, also pays tribute honestly.

When it came to his grandson Ali Gu, I don't know what evil he had fallen, a few years ago, he was blinded by lard, and suddenly became interested, and he and Liang Yiqi made a trivial and trivial mess of the poor Song Yibo.

Da Song is a female man who is soft on the outside and the inside, Ali Gu has suffered a lot of losses, and he didn't make Da Song, but he injured himself. Seeing that the girl came over with a big iron rod, Ali Gu hurriedly begged for mercy.

Da Song pointed to Ali Gu's nose and said that he had a lot of shortcomings, but in the end he was tolerant and spared him.

Look, what a good girl, how kind, how gentle. Why don't the people of Western Xia know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, hmph, they are really barbarians on the grassland.

At this time, Ali Gu looked up at Liang Yikui again, and the old bastard patted his ass and left like no one else, so Ali Gu was questioned by the people in the clan that his ability was not good, and he was so angry that Ali Gu personally let them understand whether he could do it.

A leader who fights on the outside but fights on the outside, and who fights as fiercely as jackals, tigers and leopards, is always disgusting, and a small-scale civil strife broke out in the Qingtang area.

Although it gradually subsided under the suppression of Ali Gu and Ghost Zhang, this civil strife still had an impact on Qingtang. Since then, Qingtang's vitality has been greatly damaged, and it has been in a state of collapse until now.

Now, the poor Qingtang is completely unaware that because of the death of the Empress Dowager Gao and someone's involvement, the Song Dynasty, which has changed from a weak youth to a greasy uncle, has begun to extend its claws to him.

"Then take the Qingtang down first?" Downing asked uncertainly.

"Then take down Qingtang first!" Zhao Xu replied affirmatively: "Over the years, You Shixiong has been weakening the power of the Qingtang people, and because of the old party, You Shixiong has not been able to do it directly.

Qingtang is now a candle in the wind, and although it will be resisted to take it, it will not take too much effort. Pull your Zhenjiang army out, take advantage of this opportunity, and practice well. ”

"Understood." Downing replied.

Zhao Xu nodded, then walked to Tang Ning's side again, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tang Qing, I have only been married for less than two months, and I am going to send you to do things, and I have worked hard for you." ”

Tang Ning immediately bowed down and said, "No hard work, no hard work, this is what Weichen should do." ”

Zhao Xu smiled: "If you really think so in your heart, how good it would be." ”

"That's what Weichen really thinks in his heart."

"Okay, that's what you think."

“……”

When leaving the imperial study, Zhao Xu naturally got on the bicycle, waved his hand at Tang Ning, and rode away. There were five or six attendants, and the eunuchs also rode bicycles and followed behind.

At this moment, Tang Ning felt a sense of disobedience, and he suddenly remembered Pu Yi......

"What did the official tell you?" On the way out of the palace, Liu Ling still couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Because Zhao Xu looked very happy, Tang Ning looked very worried.

"It's nothing, what can I say if I, a Zhenjiang army soldier and horse ruler, was found by the official family? Fighting. ”

"Are you going to fight the Tanguts? Oops, I'm going to have to get some of it......"

"It's not from Western Xia, it's from Qingtang." Downing replied.

"Qingtang people? The people of Qingtang are all living like ghosts now, why do you want them to go? Don't you know, our merchants lie on them like leeches to suck blood, and they are grateful to the leeches......

Oh, just think about it and I'm sad for them. ”

"Find a few more obedient businessmen and tell them to get out of the way. At the latest, after a year's effort, Qingtang should become a place under our rule, and the people of Qingtang should be our Song people. ”

"Huh? Do you want to be so ruthless? ”

"Otherwise, you don't need to ride a horse to fight a thief?"

Liu Ling stretched out his four-fingered hand and patted his head: "How did I forget this, so it is, so it is, I'll arrange it." ”

Tang Ning hurriedly said: "Don't, it's best not to use your spy network this time, I'm going to take out my Zhenjiang Army for practice." ”

Liu Ling looked at Tang Ning strangely and said: "Although Qingtang is now gone, you can't kill them as chickens, there are not a few of them who have combat effectiveness, not to mention anything else, the cavalry alone is enough for you to drink a pot."

You are stupid, the soldiers you brought out with great difficulty, and it would be pitiful to be the only one left when you go back. ”

Tang Ning smiled: "Don't worry, no matter what you say, it will let them see blood and then go to fight with the Qingtang people." Besides, I still have a secret weapon, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? ”

"Secret weapon?" Liu Lingyi raised his eyebrows: "Is that the improved gunpowder?" ”

"Oh, you know that?"

"What do you think I'm going to Runzhou with you for? Cheng Nei supervises your daily behavior, and I supervise your military spending.

So far, you're doing pretty well. The account is clean, nothing to pick. ”

Tang Ning sneered and said, "If I really have the heart to do something, you can't find a second accountant who can see the greasy thing when you search the capital...... Mr. Bookkeeper. ”

Saying this, the two of them have already left the palace, and along the way, you slap me, I stab you, and they chatted very happily. Think about it, since I came down from Nanshan, I haven't been like this with Liu Ling for a long time

Happily spoke.

After getting into the carriage, Lin Wei patted the sleepwalking coachman on the shoulder and signaled that he could drive.

When I came out of the palace, it was already afternoon. It was not yet dark, so the three of them found a restaurant casually, ate something to pad their stomachs, and bought some dry food to eat on the road, so they hurriedly went to the dock and took a boat back to Runzhou.

It's just that this trip took a little longer, and I never expected to meet the legendary water thief. was beaten before he arrived in Yangzhou, but fortunately Liu Ling and Lin Wei were there, both of whom were the same master for ten uses.

There was also a passenger who was also very brave, and with the three of them, as well as the ship's guards, and the passengers' guards were able to resist the attack of the water thieves.

It's just that the passenger was dressed a little shabby, and until then, no one on the ship was particularly willing to approach him. Only Tang Ning saw that he didn't eat, and gave him something to eat whenever it was time to eat.

He was mute, and could only look at Downing with grateful eyes.

Some of the passengers, who looked like rich and noble people, came to the mute after escaping.

At this point, the mute would give Downing a glance, and then Abba Abba refused.

It took twelve days to return to Runzhou, but I didn't expect that dumb man to get off the boat here. Tang Ning and Lin Wei said goodbye to Liu Ling on the spot, Liu Ling went back to the Wude Division office in Runzhou, and Tang Ning and Lin Wei went home directly.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw the heavily armed Fang La and Xiaoshi carrying bows and knives ready to go out, Tang Ning was surprised: "What are you two going to do?" Runzhou has good public security, don't be confused! If you are short of money, tell your brother, and my brother will give you ......"

"Husband!" Wang Shi's voice came from the front: "Husband, you are back!" ”

Tang Ning opened his arms, and Wang Shi pounced. In front of everyone's eyes, Wang Shi was still not as casual as before after all.

Whether marriage is the grave of love, Tang Ning doesn't know now, but at least the lively and lovely Wang Shi who would pounce into Tang Ning's arms like a sloth in the past has entered the grave.

He stopped in front of Tang Ning, grabbed Tang Ning's hand and said, "Fortunately, you are back, otherwise the concubine would have sent Brother Shi and Xiao Thirteen to find you." ”

Tang Ning said with a smile: "As for it? Brother Lin and Liu Gongshi are following me, and nothing will happen. Besides, even if you send someone to me, you have to send my senior brother, what is it to send these two boys.

The two of them are going to get lost when they go out of Runzhou, aren't you afraid that they will be lost too? ”

"Don't look down on the two of us! We're both amazing! Little Stone shouted.

"Oops......" But no one paid attention to him, Wang Shiyi clapped his hands and said to Tang Ning: "Speaking of senior brother, senior brother suddenly left a few days ago, without leaving a message or letter, and suddenly left, he didn't wait for this month to send him money." ”

Tang Ning sighed in his heart, senior brother didn't even want money and ran away?!

"Oops! Something is wrong! ”
