From March to September, Downing was on the road to deliver grain and grass. Lanzhou, Huizhou, the Security Army, and Yan'an Mansion are all places he has been.

The weather has changed from warm to hot to cool, but the wind and sand in the northwest have never stopped.

Similarly, Pei Xiantong's assassination of himself has never stopped. She had been here twenty-seven times in six months, and she was not going to spare Downing even in the hottest part of summer.

Fortunately, with Lin Wei by his side, the most dangerous time was when the sword passed under his ribs and cut a half-knuckle-deep cut on his waist.

Although the injury has healed now, I still feel a tingling pain. Tang Ning couldn't understand why Pei Xiantong insisted on killing him, but this woman made him feel a serious threat.

From the beginning of asking Lin Wei not to kill her, to Tang Ning letting the crossbowman release the arrow when he saw her, the ghost knows what he has been through.

In the past six months, Lin Wei's face has had a lot of vicissitudes, and Qi Fu is almost the same.

The wind and sand in the northwest are very strong, and everyone's face has traces of wind and sand blowing.

Rather, there was no change in the face of the eighteen-year-old Downing, because he covered his face with a veil......

It was almost mid-September when I came back from Yan'an Mansion to Qingzhou, and I thought that there was still a task to be sent, but I didn't expect Zhang Ji to see him.

Tang Ning thought about it and was roughly able to come up with a reason.

During the time when he was busy running around, Qi Xianyu was not idle, and now as the medical officer of Quanhuanqing Road, she had to salute even if Tang Ning saw her.

Because Zhang Kai asked her to let go, she implemented the set of resettlement plans for the wounded that she had discussed with Tang Ning in Gyeongju.

500 people were selected for simple training to serve as nurses, and 60 gold sore doctors and wound doctors in the army were found to popularize medical knowledge. These 500 people, plus 60 doctors, formed a relatively basic battalion of wounded soldiers.

There weren't that many wounded soldiers for her to test, so it wasn't clear what the effect would be at the moment. However, occasionally there are soldiers who were accidentally injured during training, and when they came back, they all gave a five-star praise, saying that they were willing to live in this wounded barracks for the rest of their lives.

Qi Xianyu was able to achieve this degree on the one hand because she herself had this ability, but on the other hand, Tang Ning had made a lot of efforts.

In the letter written by Downing at the beginning, the outline of a later hospital was roughly described. He also said that the current medical officer system in the army is loose, and there is only classification and no superiors and subordinates.

As a result, most doctors are fishing in troubled waters and are not motivated. Secondly, it is also difficult to manage, this lump and that lump, it is a laborious thing to call people over.

In addition, Tang Ning also highly recommended Qi Xianyu, and one-third of the article was praising Qi Xianyu's professionalism.

So Qi Xianyu won a great honor, and after Zhao Xu discussed with Prime Minister Liu Zhi, he specially tailored an official position for Qi Xianyu, that is, the medical officer of Quanhuanqing Road mentioned earlier.

In addition, the military on Huanqing Road also tried out a grading system for medical officers, and finalized official positions according to previous contributions.

Zhang Qi wants to see himself, most likely because of this. Thinking of this, Tang Ning snorted.

It just so happens that I also want to ask why Qi Xianyu has become a seven-rank official, and he is still the superintendent who will work until he dies?

What kind of person is Zhang Qi?

When Tang Ning first looked at it, he felt that this was a kind old man with a rather heroic appearance.

Thick eyebrows, big eyes, Chinese characters, face, the corners of the mouth seem to be unconsciously hooked, and when they fall in the eyes of people, it seems to be smiling.

The wings of the nose are flanked by deep nasolabial folds, but they do not look serious. Maybe it's because the corners of his mouth have been hooked, and he looks kind, but he doesn't have it at all

There is a sense of majesty as the commander of a war zone.

A finger and a half-long beard is under his chin, and above his lips there are two locks of goatee that are not too heavy.

He has large earlobes, a bun on his head, a medium build, and he looks not young, but standing under the eaves of the main hall, he stands steadily, which shows that he is in good health.

When this old man with a great body and a gray beard met Tang Ning at his home, he only wore a simple plain clothes.

Seeing that Tang Ning came in wearing a leather armor, Zhang Ji stood at the door of the hall with his hands behind his back and looked Tang Ning up and down.

Tang Ning walked up to Zhang Ji, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said, "Humble Tang Ning, I've seen the pacification envoy!" ”

Zhang Qi stretched out his hand and picked Tang Ning up, and said with a smile: "It's better to see the Tao than to hear it."

Your master praised you to the old man, and the old man thought that your master had learned badly. Now it seems that his sentence of being virtuous and not avoiding relatives is good.

Just walked in from the gate, and in the eyes of the old man, he deserved to be a good offspring.

Come, go to A first, and then you and I will go into the house and talk. ”

Tang Ningxin said that none of these officials are easy to get along with, especially Zhang Qi, who is polite to you as soon as he comes up, maybe he is the master who has a bad stomach.

Since ancient times, it has been said that each other is born from the heart, but Tang Ning didn't believe that Zhang Qi would be as harmless as he looked in his heart.

A sturdy guard came up on each side to help Tang Ning take off the leather armor on his body, and then took off Tang Ning's sword, which was usually only used as a decoration, and finally signaled Tang Ning to enter.

Tang Ning thought to himself that these guys looked at themselves like prisoners, but they didn't search their bodies, which was enough to give them face.

He stepped over the threshold and entered the main hall, but no one else was seen. saw a young man who was a few years younger than himself pouring tea, Zhang Qi sat on the chair with a smile, beckoned to Tang Ning, and pointed to the chair next to him to signal Tang Ning to sit down.

"From the melting of the ice and snow to the cool autumn breeze, you have been here for half a year. In the past six months, what you have seen and heard here has made you feel anything? ”

As soon as Zhang Qi came up, he used a homely way to get close to Tang Ning, and Tang Ning was suddenly vigilant in his heart.

After thinking about it, I found that there was nothing wrong with his words, it didn't look like there was a trap. Tang Ning cleared his throat and replied: "I deeply feel the hardships of the border soldiers, which I have never felt in such a comfortable place as Runzhou before.

If there were no border soldiers guarding here, the Xixia people would not be allowed to enter, and the whole world would be in flames of war, and the lives would be devastated.

And it is not enough to rely on brave soldiers alone, if there is no long-term, long-term vision, and experienced coach, it is difficult to resist the fierce Western ......"

Zhang Qi raised his eyebrows and took a sip of tea, then rested heavily on the table with a thud.

"Speak human words."

"The wind is strong, the sand is unpalatable, and the road is not easy to walk." Downing replied honestly.

Zhang Qi stroked his palms and laughed: "It makes sense, when the old man first arrived in the northwest, he also thought so. Hahahaha! ”

Looking at Zhang Qi's unhappy appearance, Tang Ning couldn't understand this person.

After laughing for a while, Zhang Qi stopped, picked up the tea bowl and took another sip, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing to say what you think in your heart, but most people don't have the courage."

The old man was in Gyeongju, so he dared to say a word or two secretly.

I called you here today for nothing else. For Zhou Jinyu's sake, the old man wants to persuade you. Do you know what the old man wants to advise you? ”

Downing thought

After a long time, he didn't think of what he had done recently, scratched his head, and arched his hand: "Please also appease the adults to solve their doubts for their humble duties." ”

"In March, a letter was sent from Gyeongju, and Liu Zhi directly presented it to the official family after reading it. After the official family approved, with a wave of the pen, Gyeongju had an additional medical officer in Gyeongju.

If the old man is right, this excerpt should have been sent by you, right? ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "It's a humble position. But I thought in my heart, is this old man a straight man with cancer? Seeing that Qi Xianyu got the official job, was he unhappy?

However, after thinking about it carefully, Tang Ning felt that it was not enough, so he pressed the idea in his heart and waited for the following.

Zhang Ji leaned back in the chair, put down the teacup, but put his arm on the table, and his index finger lightly tapped on the table.

"Maybe your intentions are good, but what you're doing is causing trouble for yourself.

The actual meaning of your letter is no different from Jing Gong's change of law, except that Jing Gong focuses on the world, and you start from the military.

The old man doesn't know who gave you advice, but you should be careful in the future.

Your letter is equivalent to a letter of nomination for joining the new party, and now the Empress Dowager Gao is still there, and the old party is powerful, this move is tantamount to committing a crime against the wind......" Speaking of this, Zhang Qi glanced at Tang Ning, and when he saw his confused appearance, he sighed and said: "Do you understand what the old man is saying?" ”

Tang Ning said embarrassedly: "To be honest, humble ...... I don't understand what I heard. ”

Zhang Qi smiled and said: "It's normal to not understand, the stakes here are complicated, you haven't been to the capital, so it's naturally not easy to understand...... To put it simply, no matter what your intentions are now, after you send this letter, you have already been labeled as a new party.

If it weren't for Zhou Jinyu, Gao Zhijie, and Liu Ling jointly guaranteeing you, it would be even more difficult for this law to be implemented smoothly. And because of the passage of this law, the people of the old party who are now only opposing for the sake of opposition have come to regard you as an enemy.

The old man called you over today to remind you of this. Although you are only a small overseer now, the old man thinks that your ability is more than that.

Among the 10,000 soldiers commanded by the 20 overseers on Huanqing Road, 500 of your men are the most disciplined. As you go, there will be pioneers who will explore the way. When resting, there must be a sentry in charge of keeping watch.

It's easy to say these two things, but only you can do it. From this point of view, it is reassuring to let you be a certain way of strategic pacification in the future. ”

Tang Ning was shocked, how could he be chatting and nagging, and he was still patting his ass.

This was unbearable, Tang Ning hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Pacifying the adults is falsely praised, and I dare not take my humble position." ”

Zhang Qi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to act like this in front of the old man, the old man doesn't know how happy he is when he says the same thing as you at your age."

Zhou Jinyu once worked under the old man, and the old man admired him very much. Now seeing that his apprentice is also a talent that can be created, the old man is very relieved.

Calling you over today is also the old man's heart attack to promote the backwards, otherwise there would not be today's conversation. ”

Tang Ning bowed his hand and said, "Thank you for appeasing your lord." ”

"You must remember what the old man said today. The old and new parties are constantly attacking, and few of those who are caught up in it will end well.

You're still young, forget it this time, don't muddy the waters in the future. ”

"The appeasement of the lord is golden and good, and the humble duty will not dare to forget."

"Alright, if it's okay, you can go. It's rare for the old man to spare a day to rest, so don't make trouble here. Go ahead, do a good job, the old man is very optimistic about you. ”

“…… Retired from his position. ”
