Lu Fu City, Taishou Mansion, Yang Qiu had just returned from the school field, he was covered in stinky sweat, and he couldn't take care of it so much, he sat on a Hu Ren's recliner with a long sigh of relief, and finally could rest for a while.

Since Ma Chao returned to the Han court last year and relied on the army of the imperial court to unify the fragmented Liangzhou, Liangzhou has been much more peaceful, especially in Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other places in the west of Liangzhou, which is very obvious. In the past, the horse thieves here were all frightened when they walked this road, but now, all the horse thieves have been integrated by Ma Chao and incorporated into the army of Liangzhou.

In addition, Ma Chao sent troops to patrol back and forth on this Silk Road, the purpose of which was to ensure the smooth flow of the entire Silk Road. For this reason, Ma Chao specially asked Yang Qiu to lead troops to Jiuquan to garrison, and recommended him as Jiuquan Taishou, as Taishou, commanding the soldiers and horses in the western part of Liangzhou, responsible for guarding the peace here.

After that, due to the fact that there were few horse thieves on the Silk Road, and the Han court increased trade on the Silk Road, there were caravans of the imperial court and private caravans, which gradually made this Silk Road, which had lost its lustre, active again.

Because Liangzhou is located on the Silk Road, it has become vibrant.

However, such a scene was after Ma Chao led the army to leave Liangzhou to pacify the southwest. gradually declined, Ma Chao's prestige in Liangzhou was too high, and he was also quite popular in Qianghu's heart. So when he was there, he was the same, and when he wasn't, he was the same.

Although the overall environment in Liangzhou is still relatively safe, in recent times, a group of horse thieves have often operated between Dunhuang and Jiuquan, specializing in robbing passing merchants, and have caused several tragic tragedies. Three of the cases were in Jiuquan County, which made Yang Qiu, who was the Taishou of Jiuquan, feel very shameless.

And so. Yang Qiu ordered his subordinates to arrest this group of horse thieves again and again, but these horse thieves came like a gust of wind. went without a trace, played hide and seek with Yang Qiu, and after half a month, Yang Qiu only had one not too close contact with these horse thieves, judging from his face and dress, he didn't look like a person from Liangzhou, a bit like a person from the Western Regions.

But because these horse thieves are too weird and their whereabouts are erratic, it has been more than half a month. Yang Qiu was never able to make contact with them head-on, and only once did he encounter a few enemy scouts, and one of the people he shot was taken away by his companions. Didn't leave any useful clues.

For this reason, Yang Qiu felt a lot of headaches, and he also sent a letter to the Dunhuang Taishou Suoguang and Zhangye Governor Chengyi, asking them to join forces to fight against these horse thieves.

However, another half a month has passed, when the three places are working together to deal with these horse thieves. They had vanished, as if they had never been here. The area has returned to its former calm.

Therefore, Yang Qiu has rarely had some time to rest these days, but he also understands that his army must always be ready and must train every day.

Today, Yang Qiu has just returned from training on the school field, although the climate is still relatively cold, but Yang Qiu is still sweating and panting because of the training.

These days, Yang Qiu is a little exhausted, feeling that nothing is going well, even sitting on the recliner, his mind is full of how to resist the enemy.

"Taishou-sama!" A guard beside Yang Qiu walked in from outside, bowed to Yang Qiu, and said respectfully.

Yang Qiu asked weakly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Jiang Changshi is out asking to see you!"

"Let him in!" Yang Qiuqiang cheered up, sat up from the recliner, and said to the soldiers.

"Whoa!"

Not long after, Jiuquan Changshi Jiang Xu walked in from outside, and as soon as he entered the hall, he bowed respectfully to Yang Qiu: "See Lord Taishou!" ”

"There's no need to be polite, and there is no need to be restrained between you and me, I heard Xiaoliu just now, do you have something important to look for me?" Yang Qiu does not have the slightest frame of being an official, he is very approachable, and he is deeply respected by his subordinates.

Jiang Xu nodded and said, "There is a very important matter......

"Don't spit out, if you have something to say, let it go! If you have nothing to say, get out of here and don't fuck me to rest! After all, Yang Qiu was born in the army, although he had read some poetry and books, and he knew some etiquette, but he could not change the habits he had developed in the army, the more he scolded anyone, the better his relationship with that person, without any cover-up, without any pretentiousness, without any scruples to show his good and bad.

Jiang Xu has followed Yang Qiu for many years, starting as an ordinary soldier under Yang Qiu, and climbed step by step to the current position of Changshi, all by virtue of his own ability. After so many years, if Jiang Xu didn't know Yang Qiu's temper, then he could really buy a piece of tofu and die head-on.

In the past, Jiang Xu would laugh and tease Yang Qiu a few words, but today, Jiang Xu still had a serious expression on his face and stood there without saying a word.

Yang Qiu noticed this subtle change, and asked seriously, "Is there really something important?" ”

Jiang Xu nodded heavily and didn't say a word, but the solemn look on his face showed his inner monologue.

Yang Qiu sat there with a golden sword, staring at Jiang Xu with a pair of shrewd eyes, and said, "Since this is the case, let's talk about it, I want to see what important things you kid can do!" ”

Jiang Xu took a deep breath and brewed a draft in his mind, and then opened his mouth and said, "What do adults think of Ma Chao?" ”

Yang Qiu looked at Jiang Xu with curious eyes and asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Jiang Xu said: "My lord, there is something I have never mentioned to anyone, and today I am going to tell my lord......"

Yang Qiu sat there quietly, not saying a word, just staring at Jiang Xu with his eyes, but listening with his two ears.

Jiang Xu said: "Longxi guards Yang Fu too much, do you know each other?" ”

"Liangzhou celebrities, I've seen a few times, I'm not familiar! Why do you ask this? Yang Qiu asked.

Jiang Xu said: "He is my cousin, and my mother is his aunt!" ”

"Oh!" Yang Qiu was a little surprised and said, "Since you have such a relationship, why haven't you heard you mention this?" ”

"What's there to mention about that. It's not something to brag about! Jiang Xu said.

"And why are you mentioning it to me now?" Yang Qiu asked rhetorically.

Jiang Xu said: "The reason why I mentioned this matter to the adults today is because my cousin wants to see the adults!" ”

"I have no relationship with Yang Fu, he wants to see me, what is the matter?" Yang Qiu asked.

Jiang Xu bowed to Yang Qiu again and said, "Lord Taishou, my cousin is just outside the door, Lord Taishou can ask him himself!" ”

"What? Yang Fu is just outside the door? When did it come? How come I don't know at all? Yang Qiu asked with a shocked expression.

Jiang Xu said: "My cousin came secretly and didn't have an official position, so it's normal for adults not to know." ”

Yang Qiu stabilized his expression slightly, and said to Jiang Xu: "Since Yang Taishou has come, I should see him both in public and private, Bo Yi, you invite Yang Taishou in!" ”

"Whoa!"

Jiang Xu turned around and was about to go out, but Yang Qiu suddenly stopped him, only to hear Yang Qiu say: "Yang Taishou is also a bachelor from Liangzhou, and now he has come from afar, I should greet him personally, otherwise I will snub the Magi!" ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Qiu strode out of the room, followed by Jiang Xu. As soon as he walked out of the hall, Yang Qiu saw a man dressed as a merchant standing there, but in this sour clothes, he couldn't hide his elegant temperament.

Yang Qiu had seen Yang Fu, but this was the first time he had seen him in this dress. He stepped forward and bowed his hand respectfully: "Yang Taishou, if you miss the distance, you still hope for a lot of Haihan!" ”

Yang Fu saw that Yang Qiu was very polite, he didn't have the kind of frame that an official should have, although he was dressed in a strong outfit, but he was not elegant, and a long beard hung down on his chest, which made him look a little elderly!

"Yishan meets Yang Taishou!" Yang Fu also bowed respectfully to Yang Qiu.

"Your surname is Yang, my surname is Yang, five hundred years ago it was a family, since you are Bo Yi's cousin, then you don't need to be so restrained with me, you are too shou, I am also too shou, and now there are no outsiders here, I am a few years older than you, why don't you call me brother!" Yang Qiu said with a smile.

After Yang Fu heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "I have heard for a long time that Yang Qiu loves soldiers like a son, can share weal and woe with the soldiers, and is also very approachable. ”

So, Yang Fu arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" Brother Yang! ”

"Haha, it's all a family, don't talk about the two families, the virtuous brother came from afar, I should do my best to do the friendship of the landlord, please please inside!" Yang Qiu laughed.

Yang Fu said: "Brother doesn't have to be so polite, I came here this time to discuss important matters, and the time is very urgent, I don't know if my brother can give me some time?" ”

Yang Qiu pondered for a moment, then glanced at Jiang Xu behind him again, and said, "Okay, you come with me!" ”

Yang Fu followed Yang Qiu into the hall, Jiang Xu was also behind the two people, after the three of them entered the hall, the guests and hosts sat down, and the people brought some tea, Yang Qiu asked straight to the point: "Brother Xian, there are no outsiders here, you can talk freely, if you want to know something, you must know everything for your brother, and you will say everything!"
