Liu Ling is a very conscientious undercover agent, perhaps in his eyes, as long as he can complete the task assigned to him by the emperor, he will do whatever it takes.

Moreover, he must also be a very powerful undercover agent, at least after seeing the scars on his body, Tang Ning felt that it was a miracle that people who had suffered so many injuries could survive.

And now, as Zhu Sizhi, he beheaded 32 officers and soldiers, and when he rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, Han Xiong also praised him, and the respect of Zhu Sizhi was also endless.

"Can you really do it?"

In the thatched hut, Tang Ning looked at Liu Ling suspiciously. It is difficult for such a person not to be vigilant to others, and to be ruthless when he goes undercover to kill his own people, even if he is friends with him, he must have more eyes.

Liu Ling was lying on the bed, there was a wound on his shoulder, which he had caused himself, otherwise it would not be a matter to always run to Tang Ning's side. After all, Zhu Sizhi is Han Xiong's most trusted head of the guard, and Liu Ling is halfway up the mountain, and it is not easy to achieve such results in the end.

Pouting, Liu Ling said: "Just those mud-like van troops, kill them, what is there to do." During the war, he didn't listen to the orders of the officials, and rushed up in a swarm, even when he retreated, there were no pursuers behind him, and he still cried for his father and mother's escape. Do you know how eager a family is to shoot someone to death when they see someone take off their armor just to run faster? ”

Tang Ning pursed his lips and didn't answer, so he couldn't answer the words. The local army of the Great Song Dynasty was like this, except for the Western Army guarding the frontier, even the forbidden army did not necessarily have too high combat effectiveness. Not to mention that these local armies are not as well-equipped as the forbidden army, and the training is not as good as the forbidden army.

You can't expect a group of guys whose usual job is to do everything except fight can explode into a strong combat force after they go to the battlefield, even if these guys have a golden silkworm armor in their hands, carrying the Yitian Sword and carrying the Dragon Slaying Knife and dancing the Fang Tian Painting Halberd.

A soldier is a soldier, a miscellaneous soldier is a miscellaneous service, and once a soldier becomes a miscellaneous soldier, a soldier is not a soldier.

It has been a month since the last battle with the officers and soldiers, and Liu Ling can basically guarantee to come once a week, and every time at this time, it is the time for the two to exchange information.

The most important thing at the moment is to exterminate the Nanshan bandits as soon as possible, as for the strength of the Xiang army's combat effectiveness, whether it is Tang Ning's excitement or not, or Liu Ling's hatred of iron and steel, it will not play a role.

Unless the Xiang army is stripped from miscellaneous service, but the wealthy Northern Song Dynasty cannot afford such a huge amount of military spending. There are already more than 500,000 forbidden troops to raise, and it is really impossible to raise more than 300,000 box troops...... I can't afford to smash the pot and sell iron......

"What a fragrant wine!" The pain made Liu Ling's voice muffled, and Tang Ning was very attentive to his wound treatment. The liquor that had just been brewed was directly taken out and used on the wound on his shoulder.

Tang Ning pursed his lips and said: "The first sip of this wine, I didn't expect it to enter people's mouths, but into your body, which is really tyrannical." Next time, you don't need to scratch yourself, pretend to twist your waist, bend your feet, and come to me? ”

Liu Ling ignored Tang Ning's words, but turned his head to look at Tang Ning and asked, "Can you give me a little bit of this wine?" ”

Tang Ning smiled and said, "Naturally." With that, he scooped out half a bowl from his wine-making jar and handed it to Liu Ling.

Liu Ling took the bowl, leaned his nose to him and took a deep breath, and said with a fascinated look in his eyes: "The aroma of wine alone makes me seven points drunk, but I don't know how violent this wine is." As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in his bowl.

Tang Ning's eyes widened, and he watched as Liu Ling's half-black face turned red, and the green tendons on his forehead bloomed.

"Good wine!" After Liu Ling said these two words with difficulty, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Tang Ning's heart blossomed, it seems that there is still a market for liquor in this era. Many times Downing was thinking about where he was going and what he was going to do after he had completed his revenge. I haven't decided where to go, but I've thought about what to do first.

It was not a difficult thing to do business in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty treated businessmen very preferentially, and many princesses were married to businessmen who chose the rich side to marry. As long as you can accept the strict commercial taxes of the Great Song Dynasty, it is a very good thing to be a businessman.

Downing grew up with his grandfather when he was a child, and Downing's grandfather didn't have any other hobbies, and his favorite thing was drinking. I made my own wine, I made my own liquor, and I drank it very happily. Therefore, Downing also learned the ability to make his own wine from his grandfather.

This jar of liquor took Tang Ning two months, and now it is freshly baked, but Tang Ning himself is not satisfied. The liquor that has not been distilled is not strong at all, at least in Tang Ning's opinion, the degree of this jar of liquor is not too high.

Even so, Liu Ling doesn't seem to have drunk such strong wine, so he can earn a lot of money in the Great Song Dynasty just by making wine.

"I know what you're thinking, and I'm sorry to tell you that without the permission of the government, selling alcohol without permission will be imprisoned."

I had never felt that Liu Ling's voice was so annoying, Tang Ning rolled his eyes and Liu Ling's urn said angrily: "Why didn't I get you drunk to death!" ”

Liu Ling said with a smile: "Do you think a certain family will get drunk and unconscious because of your sip of wine?" ”

Tang Ning didn't know where the trust between people came about, but it must have been lost in Liu Ling's extremely boring temptation. As the Son of Heaven Eagle Dog, they learned very well from the Son of Heaven that they are not gullible and always suspicious of other people's traditions, and they have brought this tradition into their daily life.

Tang Ning didn't like this at all, he preferred to have something to say and not beat around the bush than this kind of tentative behavior. What's more, now that the two of them are still working towards the same goal, so suspicious of each other, how can people relax and join forces to fight the enemy?

So Tang Ning said disdainfully: "Do you want to know if your mother-in-law has stolen people, do you also want to pretend to be a flower thief at night and go home to see your mother-in-law's reaction?" ”

Liu Ling grinned, revealing a half-yellow tooth and said proudly: "I don't have a mother-in-law!" ”

“……”

Now that the topic has been killed, there is no need to continue the conversation. Seeing Tang Ning's unswerving expression, Liu Ling changed the topic and asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Let Shen Cheng and Zhang Qi die first." Tang Ning sat back at his desk, picked up a copy of the Analects and read it.

Although Han Xiong was furious after his harem ran out, he attached great importance to Tang Ning as always, and even got several books for Tang Ning, and now the "Analects" in Tang Ning's hand is one of them. Maybe he felt that Tang Ning had nothing to do with this matter, and those women had enough time to send Tang Ning away before running away.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning couldn't help but sigh, put down the book and said, "How did this guy Han Xiong become a big boss?" With this person's brain, I'm afraid I can't eat it in this southern cottage, right? ”

Liu Ling couldn't help but laugh, feeling that what Tang Ning said was too right. However, he knew much more than Tang Ning, so he explained: "There is no reason, the most important thing is that Han Xiong relied on the strength of his two arms and went up to Nanshan with thirty or fifty people. If there was no Han Xiong, there would be no Nanshan thieves today, so even if this person is not bright, everyone still has to respect him as a big master. ”

"Zhao Ren connived at his subordinates, and often embezzled and seized them privately, why didn't Han Xiong be moved?"

"The fact that the Nanshan thieves can have today's climate is completely due to Zhao Ren alone. Don't look at him always smiling, but the name Smiling Tiger is not for nothing. This man is extremely suspicious and ruthless, and never shows mercy to enemies and traitors. As for the loyal subordinates, they are not ordinarily generous, which you can see from Zhang Qi. ”

Seeing Tang Ning nodding seriously, Liu Ling licked his lips and continued: "If Han Xiong used force to make the Nanshan thieves gain a foothold in Nanshan, Zhao Ren used his brains to make the Nanshan thieves famous on Liangzhejiang Road. attracted bandits from all over the world to vote, and only then did it have the scale of Nanshanzhai today. In addition, the walled wall of this southern cottage and the selection of the site of Dazhai were also selected by Zhao Ren.

Facts have proved that his vision is very good, the Zhenjiang army has launched dozens of large and small attacks against the Nanshan bandits in the past ten years, but there is no good effect, in addition to the incompetence of the Zhenjiang army itself, the terrain of Nanshanzhai is easy to defend and difficult to attack is also one of the important factors.

Even if the forbidden army comes here, it will suffer a big loss. The official family was unwilling to let the forbidden army suffer losses, so they sent a certain family here, hoping to disintegrate the Nanshan bandits from within. ”

"If that's the case, wouldn't the Nanshan Thieves be under the control of Zhao Ren alone? Han Xiong, the big boss, is also not worthy of his name......"

"Hehe, Han Xiong's trust in Zhao Ren is not an ordinary trust. Zhao Ren himself was the first group of people to follow Han Xiong, and as far as I know, Han Xiong had been a righteous brother with Zhao Ren long before he went up the mountain. ”

"What about Wang Qing?"

"Wang Qing joined later, and there were originally five masters in Nanshanzhai, and one of them was killed by Zhao Ren. The other one was hacked to death by the dart master of the Changhong Dart Bureau, otherwise it would not be Wang Qing's turn to sit in the third place. ”
