The main hall of the Quartermaster Division. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Haha, General Kim, there is a loss of distance and a loss of welcome. Liu Hengcai stepped into the door, and someone greeted him very warmly.

This person is over the middle of the year, dressed in a five-grade court dress, with a straight forehead and a straight nose, facing the middle and tough, and between his words and deeds, he has his own elegant and majestic manners. When the decree was announced yesterday, this person stood beside the coach Zhang Shi'an, and did not hide Zhang Shi'an's might, but he would never let people ignore that it was Sun Mingqi, the quartermaster who was in charge of the military quartermaster of the army on the right.

Liu Heng hurriedly saluted first and said, "See Lord Sun for your humble position." ”

Sun Mingqi helped him up, "Come on, come on, if you have anything to say, sit down and say it, you don't have to be so polite." ”

Liu Heng said a few polite words, but still followed his meaning to sit down in front of the chair next to him, "Lord Sun, I came here this time, in addition to the rest of the soldiers and rewards, there are also ......."

"Hah!"

Before Liu Heng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Mingqi with another chuckle, "As soon as General Jin comes, I will know what is going on...... But you came by chance, why don't you wait with me for a while, some things will be said later. ”

What are you waiting for?

Liu Heng was slightly stunned, but Sun Mingqi had no intention of solving his doubts, glanced at him meaningfully, and then said with a smile: "Come on, come on, it's rare to have such an opportunity, please General Jin try the spiritual tea that is a specialty of my hometown." ”

As he spoke, he took the tea tray from the hands of the military officials who came quietly next to him, and personally served Liu Heng a cup, Liu Heng had to get up and take it with both hands, and he had doubts but had no chance to ask.

However, Liu Heng's mind was racing, and he faintly had some guesses.

It should be someone who is waiting, as for who it is, Liu Heng didn't know why, and suddenly remembered the text message sent by the Liu family as a congratulatory gift last night.

Some things happen to be said together later?

Liu Heng's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't ask more, and sure enough, he accompanied Sun Mingqi to wait quietly while drinking tea.

In fact, the entrance of this tea is slightly astringent, and when it circulates between the mouth and tongue, it gives people a feeling of long charm, and a faint aura enters the body to nourish qi and blood, even if Liu Heng is not a person who likes tea, he also knows that this is really good tea.

The two of them asked and answered, chatting about this kind of anecdotal about this kind of Zimeng Ling tea, but their minds were not on it, but fortunately, the waiting time was not long, and the singing and drinking of the military officials had already been heard outside.

"Master Qu has arrived—"

Sun Mingqi got up with a smile when he heard this, "It's time to say that, General Jin, let's greet you." ”

Hearing the surname of the person who came, Liu Heng had already understood, and as soon as he got up, he saw someone at the door stepping in without hurrying.

As soon as this person saw Sun Mingqi, he immediately bowed his head and said deeply: "Xiaguan Qu Cifang, see Master Sun." ”

"Hey, Qu Xian's nephew, why are you and I so polite?" Sun Mingqi walked a few steps quickly, hurriedly helped him up, and after taking a good look at him, he smiled and said: "Qu Xian's nephew came with the army all the way, and he suffered a lot, right?"

Qu Cifang replied respectfully: "How dare you speak of hardship? Besides, along the way, my colleagues have taken good care of me, but they have not endured hardship. ”

"How's it going, is Lingshi okay?"

Thanks to Master Sun's concern, the teacher is in good health, but he is only working day and night for the national affairs and war, and his temples are already gray. Qu Cifang still replied respectfully.

Sun Mingqi sighed when he heard this, "Before leaving Beijing, I met Lingshi, and I saw that his mental face was still tough, who would have thought that it would be difficult to work so far for the state affairs and national hatred after only half a year." ”

"Before the official went out, the teacher had a word to give him, and he did his best for the country, and he was fortunate to have his life. Qu Cifang replied.

Sun Mingqi muttered these words repeatedly, and then exclaimed: "The master has a lofty heart, every word and deed is a model for us, and Qu Xian's nephew can often accompany him to listen to the teachings, which is not only enviable, but also has the style of the teacher." ”

Qu Cifang saluted respectfully again, "Lord Sun praised it so much, it really made the lower officials panic. ”

Sun Mingqi smiled slyly and said: "Haha, I praise Lingshi, why are you afraid? Qu Xian's nephew, you are too humble in front of me, I am not happy." ”

The two chatted and laughed, if there was no text message sent by the Liu family before, Liu Heng was afraid that he would not be able to hear it clearly, but now he can listen quietly, and gradually match the number recorded in the text message.

During this period, he also had time to secretly look at Qu Cifang, only to see that he was really not old, his eyebrows were like a flat sword, his eyes were like stars, handsome and elegant, and he was uniquely charming. Especially wearing a seven-grade official uniform, it shows that he is young and ambitious, and he is full of spirit, which makes it difficult not to have envy.

There were only three people in the hall, and the two of them talked and laughed, and finally paid attention to Liu Heng, who was quietly accompanying Sun Mingqi. Without waiting for Sun Mingqi's introduction, Qu Cifang had already looked at Liu Heng seriously, and then made a move, "This must be the first Fengyong general appointed by the Holy Lord, General Jin Laijin, right?"

Sun Mingqi was slightly stunned, and then introduced Liu Heng: "General Jin, this is Deacon Qu Ci Fangqu, who is known as a prodigy in Beijing, he was originally a deacon in the General Administration Department, you can call him Deacon Qu." ”

Liu Heng tasted the word "original", and also clasped his fists at Qu Cifang, "I've seen Deacon Qu." ”

"Okay, well, one of you is a star in the future, and the other is the humerus of the future court, to meet here is really a meeting of civil and military. Sun Mingqi smiled brightly, pulled up the two and walked to the tea table, "Come on, come on, sit down, let's talk while drinking tea if you have anything to say." ”

After the two of them saluted him and sat down respectfully, Sun Mingqi personally poured tea for the two of them, and caused the two of them to get up one after another to serve him, and then he said to Liu Heng: "General Jin is afraid that he doesn't know that Qu Xian's nephew has already been assigned by the Ministry of Household Affairs to be the county commander of your ten-day city." The two of you will have to work together for a period of time in the future, and now you have met me here, and you are close to each other in advance. ”

Liu Heng suddenly understood the intention of the Liu family to send the text message, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel that the value of this text message was really no less than a city formation for him and Ten Days City.

If it is sent to a county order with no background, it is not a big deal, but this Qu Cifang is a protégé of the right minister, with a high status and a thick background, which is really extraordinary. If there was no such news, Liu Heng was really afraid that something unexpected would happen in the city in the next ten days, and he himself was still at a loss to know what the reason was.

"If you have any doubts about your despicability, please ask Lord Sun for advice. Hearing him ask, Sun Ming enlightened him and said to him, so he apologized to Qu Cifang and said: "It's not that the arrival of the Qu County Order is not welcome, but there is something unclear about the humble position." This 10-day city was first built, and it was on the front line of the national war, and the city was full of officers and soldiers, and it was a military city, so why did you still send a county commander? The war was raging, and the 10-day city was in danger like a nest egg.

Sun Mingqi frowned slightly and was about to answer, but Qu Cifang was already smiling, "Lord Sun, why don't you let the lower officials solve General Jin's doubts?"

"It's fine. Sun Mingqi's eyes moved slightly, and he responded with a smile, "General Jin has been in the army for a long time, and he still has some confusion about the rules of the imperial court. ”

Liu Heng hugged his fists at the two of them, and said politely to Qu Cifang: "It's an honor to be able to get the Qu County Order to solve my doubts." ”

Qu Cifang looked at Liu Heng and said with a smile on his face: "General Jin is polite, it's just that he has a lot of contact when he is on an errand, and he just happens to be able to talk a few words." ”

After speaking, he pondered slightly, and then continued: "After the completion of the Ten Days City, it is rumored that Longyan Dayue has ordered the military department to add the Ten Days City to my Great Xia territory and become the city under my righteous rule of Great Xia. Since it has been the city of Great Xia, no matter where it is or what the situation is, according to the rules, an official government should be set up, and a county order should be sent to show the rule of Great Xia. ”

"This ten-day city was originally decided, and it has been designated as a first-class military county, which can accommodate 10,000 soldiers and horses, but it can also be equipped with 100,000 households. ”

Qu Cifang said briefly, and then said: "It's not a secret, at that time, the teacher had a private note to me, mentioning that the Ten Days City was in danger, and many seven-rank officials spared their lives and even asked someone to shirk it, and some officials who were willing to come here, the teacher felt that they were not capable enough to take such a big responsibility, and then asked me what I meant. ”

mentioned that he was not a simple teacher, and even Sun Mingqi hurriedly sat down in front of him to show his respect.

"At that time, the teacher told me a lot of words to do my best for the country, and finally made me understand the importance of my family and country and my own life. ”

He also sighed a little, and then said to Liu Heng: "I heard that General Jin has let the mountain people from the nearby cottages move in, and even let the soldiers move their relatives to move in. With the help of General Mengjin, the city of the Ten Days became more and more prosperous, and the people increased, and after I went, I was not afraid of idleness. ”

Liu Heng couldn't help but think of Qu Cifang's identity without introducing him when they met, and there was a wake-up call in his heart, "I came prepared." ”

The soldiers in the city sent letters to all directions, asking their relatives to move in, and this movement naturally could not be hidden. Especially as Qu Cifang himself said, he was still a deacon in the Department of Political Affairs at that time, and he had handled relevant decrees, so he knew that it was a reasonable thing. However, although the villagers of the six caves and eighteen villages moved into the Ten Days City, although they did not deliberately hide it, because of the remoteness and danger, it should not have spread.

When he heard this, the surprise that flashed in Sun Mingqi's eyes was enough to see that even he, the quartermaster of the right-wing army, had not heard of this matter, but Qu Cifang, who was tens of thousands of miles away, knew so clearly, what was it if he didn't come prepared?

"Fortunately, Qu County Commander solved my doubts, I, a reckless man in the army, don't know anything except military affairs, but I asked Lord Sun and Qu County Commander to see jokes. Liu Heng smiled bitterly, he already knew that Qu Cifang had said it so thoroughly, he had no excuse to refuse the arrival of this county order, so he could only accept it.

"General Jin is too humble, and it really makes me feel at ease to have a tiger general like General Jin in charge. Qu Cifang also said with a smile and praised it.

Sun Mingqi next to him kept smiling, and laughed loudly when he heard this, "Okay, good, both of you are my Great Xia Yingjie, and in the future, you will be able to help each other in the Ten Days City, and you will definitely be able to make the court and the saint feel at ease." ”

After that, the three of them talked and laughed and drank tea, sometimes mentioning Liu Heng's martial arts exploits, sometimes mentioning Qu Cifang's youth and calmness, and praising each other, they were a group of harmony.

When the three of them got together, the most mentioned thing was naturally the matter of Ten Days City, and when it came to this, Liu Heng changed his smile and said seriously: "This time I came for the sake of my Wan Yu Guard's troops, and I also ask Lord Sun to take care of it and make up for my Wan Yu Guard." ”

When Sun Mingqi heard this, he smiled bitterly and sighed in embarrassment: "Now the situation of my army on the right, Qu Xian's nephew is not very clear, but General Jin, you should know it." In today's situation, it is the top priority to keep the city of Moding where the army is located from being lost, but Hu Cai's offensive intent is very strong, and how difficult it is to defend the city of Moding, you two should also see with your own eyes. ”

"Don't say anything else, let's just say that this is the southern frontier army that has filled in. They are the most famous elite soldiers in my Great Xia, but they have only been here for three or four days, and they have encountered three major battles in a row, and more than 50,000 soldiers and horses have lost tens of thousands when they enter the city. ”

When he heard this, the surprise that flashed in Sun Mingqi's eyes was enough to see that even he, the quartermaster of the right-wing army, had not heard of this matter, but Qu Cifang, who was tens of thousands of miles away, knew so clearly, what was it if he didn't come prepared?

"General Jin is too humble, and it really makes me feel at ease to have a tiger general like General Jin in charge. Qu Cifang also said with a smile and praised it.

Sun Mingqi next to him kept smiling, and laughed loudly when he heard this, "Okay, good, both of you are my Great Xia Yingjie, and in the future, you will be able to help each other in the Ten Days City, and you will definitely be able to make the court and the saint feel at ease." ”

Sun Mingqi shook his head again and again and sighed, "The southern frontier army is still like this, not to mention the rest of the soldiers and horses." (To be continued.) )
