Tang Rong was so shrewd. Of course she saw the doubts in Qin Xiao's heart and chuckled: "Do you think it's a little weird?"
"Yes." Qin Xiao said: "What is the plot of this great gentleman? I can't understand it more and more now."
"Actually, I can't figure out his thoughts." Tang Rong frowned and said: "If he was the one who planted the poison in your body back then, he would naturally have malicious intentions towards you. Now that you are leading the troops out of seclusion, he should assist you.
The Liaodong Army is against you, but his choice makes me confused. He did not choose the Liaodong Army, but instead ordered the underground pawnshops in the Northeast to secretly support you. After thinking about it, I still don’t understand his intention." Staring at Qin Xiao.
Said: "But there is a possibility that may explain it."
"What?"
"Although he has no good intentions for you, he has a deeper conflict with the Liaodong Army." Tang Rong explained softly: "Although his intelligence strength is extraordinary, he does not have the military strength to fight against the Liaodong Army.
It just so happened that you came to the Northeast, so he wanted to use your hand to deal with the Liaodong Army. He knew that Long Ruijun was not strong enough to deal with the local snake of the Liaodong Army, so he asked the underground pawnshop to provide intelligence support to Long Ruijun.
, at least for now he and you have a common enemy, so he chose to cooperate."
Qin Xiao smiled calmly and said: "Mr. Da has great supernatural powers. I'm afraid even Sister Rong is not fully aware of his strength." Thinking of Mister Da's actions, he traveled from west to east, as far as the Utuo Khanate in the west, and as close as the northeast.
The shadow of Mr. Da exists in the four counties and even the Modong grassland. This man can almost be said to have arms and legs that reach the sky.
This is a mysterious person, and he is also the person Qin Xiao wants to investigate deeply. He knows that Mr. Da’s big hand can control a huge power that even he could not imagine, but if he wants to trace it, there is really no way to start, even if he obeys Da’s orders
Mr. Tang Rong also knows very little about this mysterious mastermind.
He is like a dark shadow, clearly there but invisible and intangible.
Qin Xiao thought about the poison that had been planted in Luantang Kedun's body, and it was almost certain to be Qianye Manluo's poison. He thought about whether to reveal it to Tang Rong, but after thinking about it carefully, he still didn't say it.
This matter involves Luotang Kedun, and Qin Xiao does not want to cause trouble to her.
Although Tang Rong is very close to him, she is Mr. Da's person after all. Deep down in his heart, Qin Xiao still has some guard against Tang Rong when it comes to Mr. Da.
"No matter what, it's better for him to support you behind the scenes than to stand on the side of the Liaodong Army to deal with you." Tang Rong smiled sweetly, and Qin Xiao saw it, and his heart trembled, thinking to himself.
I am really lucky. I have met several women, from the young aunt to the young lady, all of them are one-in-a-million stunning beauties.
After all, I can be considered a decent person, and I don't know why I fall in love with anyone I see. Every woman is charming, and I can't help but be tempted.
Qin Xiao thought of something and hurriedly said: "Sister Rong, you came here in a hurry, haven't you eaten yet? I'll ask someone to get you some food."
"No need." When Tang Rong saw Qin Xiao about to get up, she grabbed the lapel of his clothes to prevent him from getting up, and asked softly: "How many days will your army have enough food and grass? It's better to save a little."
Qin Xiao was startled and smiled bitterly: "Sister Rong, do you know about the robbery of the Silver Team?"
"If I didn't know, I wouldn't have come to you so quickly." Tang Rong said: "The biggest thing happening in the four northeastern counties these days is that your silver team was robbed. I heard that almost all the people transporting the silver car were in the army.
It was destroyed and dozens of silver cars were all robbed."
Qin Xiaodao: "A dozen people broke out, not all of them died there, but not a single silver car was left, and they were all robbed."
"Without money, your food, grass, and military pay will be a problem. Thousands of troops might rebel." Tang Rong said quietly, "Even if they don't launch a rebellion and don't have food and drink, they definitely won't be able to stay."
Qin Xiao raised his hand and scratched his head, and said: "I am just worried about this matter. I was discussing this matter just now and was preparing to find a way to solve it."
"Can you think of any good ideas?"
Qin Xiao shook his head, suddenly thinking of something, he held Sister Rong's catkins again, his eyes lit up, and said: "Sister Rong, I am in a difficult time now. You suddenly appeared at this time, are you going to help me out of trouble?"
?”
"You can't even think of a way. What can I, a weak woman, do?" Tang Rong smiled charmingly, "Why, are you stumped by this?"
Qin Xiao sighed: "To be honest with Sister Rong, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. I'm really worried about this."
"You want to gain a foothold in the Northeast, but you can't even guarantee your own logistics. How can you gain a foothold?" Tang Rong sighed softly: "Let me just say one more thing, Long Ruijun's top priority is not to recruit troops or train troops, but to
Find ways to ensure that the army's logistics are worry-free. Long Rui's army is currently stationed in Heishan, located on the northern border of Yingping County. It is a remote place in the entire Northeast. If even the logistics supply is strangled, what do you want in the country?
If anything can be done in the Northeast, it can only be a castle in the air."
"What Sister Rong said is absolutely true." Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Before this case happened, I was still lucky. I felt that the Northeast was the territory of the Tang Dynasty after all. No matter how arrogant the Liaodong Army was, they would not really dare to attack Long Rui.
They attacked the army's supply line. Now it seems that I was too naive, and their arrogance and cruelty were far beyond my imagination."
"Are you convinced that this case was committed by the Liaodong Army?"
"It's almost certain."
Tang Rong smiled lightly and said: "On the top of these mountains in the four northeastern counties, there was only one tiger, the Liaodong Army. He was the king and hegemon on the mountain. The food on the mountain was enough to satisfy him every day. Suddenly another tiger came from the pass.
...., it should be said that he is a little tiger. Everyone knows that there is no room for two tigers in this mountain. Your Long Rui army comes to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. What do you think the Liaodong army will say to you? Military generals are in power in the Northeast. To them,
Said, the most direct way is to bite you to death at all costs before your little tiger takes shape. Stealing the silver car is just a reminder for you to retreat. If it doesn't suit their wishes, they will
I will come up with more ways to deal with you, and the final result will either force you to retreat to the pass or die in the northeast."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly. When he was ordered to come to the Northeast to train troops, he knew that this road would be difficult and there would be many difficulties along the way. Now it seems that the reality is probably more difficult than he thought.
"Forget it, for the sake of you calling me sister, I will help you with an idea this time." Seeing Qin Xiao's solemn expression, Tang Rong chuckled and said, "Don't be so sad, you are Long Ruijun's lieutenant."
General, even you have been depressed all day long, what about others? You are a man, even if the sky falls, you have to raise your hands to lift the sky up. If you want to achieve great things, you must be able to eat others.
I can't bear the pain." He bit his red lips and said softly: "I don't look down on cowardly men."
When Qin Xiao heard this, he perked up and said with a smile: "Yes, what Sister Rong said is that if you defeat me due to this little difficulty, I will not be worthy of commanding Long Ruijun, let alone be Sister Rong's man."
"Who said you are my man?" Sister Rong glared at Qin Xiao and said coquettishly: "You know how to talk nonsense." Then she said: "The silver car was robbed, and there is no silver available in the Armaments Department. Your food, grass and military pay must be
Find another way to solve it." He turned around, raised his slender hand, pointed to the north and said: "There is food and salary on site over there, why don't you know how to get it?"
Qin Xiao followed her hand and pointed towards it. He suddenly understood something, slapped his head and said angrily: "Why didn't I think of that? Sister Rong, you mean...Black Mountain?"
"That's right." Sister Rong said with a smile: "The Black Mountain Army has surrendered to you, and now all we have to do is send an imperial envoy from the imperial court to issue an edict to recruit people. Xuanyuan Chong now controls the five villages in the Black Mountain. Shen Xuangan, Zhou Yuanbao, and everyone in the Black Mountain obey his orders.
orders, and he is determined to be recruited by the imperial court. Under such circumstances, if you make some requests to Xuanyuan Chong, he will not refuse to agree. The Montenegrin Army has been entrenched in Heishan for more than ten years, and tens of thousands of people are eating and drinking on the mountain.
How can we persist in saving food?”
Qin Xiao was awakened by the words and said excitedly: "That's right. As long as we can borrow 70,000 to 80,000 taels of cash from Montenegro, we can tide over the difficulties."
"The Black Mountain bandits have done a lot of robbery in recent years." Tang Rong's eyes were like mist, charming and seductive, and she said softly: "When Zhou Hongji was alive, he often sent people down the mountain to rob, and stole many gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and secretly returned
They sent people to sell those antique calligraphy and paintings directly in exchange for gold and silver. Now these properties must have been sealed up by Xuanyuan Chong. In addition, there are granaries in Black Mountain. They occupy the mountain as bandits. What they worry about most is that they will be surrounded by officers and soldiers. There is no food on the mountain.
Food, so the Black Mountain bandits always have a large amount of food and grass in their granary. You only need to send people up the mountain, discuss with Xuanyuan Chong, and bring some silver and food down the mountain, Xuanyuan Chong will not refuse."
Tang Rong had an underground pawnshop behind her, which was the source of intelligence. She knew the Black Mountain well, but it didn't surprise Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao had completely figured it out at this time and said: "Heishan has been designated as a bandit by the government. Once these materials are obtained, they can be regarded as the trophies we captured. The silver car was robbed and Long Rui's army had problems with its logistics supply. We used
It is also a helpless move to temporarily replenish military supplies with the spoils of war. In this way, even if someone in the court participates in the impeachment, this is not a collusion between the military and businessmen, let alone someone pocketing military pay. If the saint knows it, he will only turn a blind eye.
A single eye is nothing more than a few words of reprimand, but it will never punish you."
"As long as you understand." Tang Rong said with a smile: "By the way, you said someone used their own money to pay the military salary? Who are you talking about? Is it possible that you are also planning to use your own money to pay the military salary? I didn't notice it, but you still
A very rich man."
"No, no." Qin Xiao knew that Tang Rong was very shrewd, so he had to be careful when talking to her. A casual remark might cause her to catch the point and analyze it to get more information, pretending to be honest.
He said: "I am planning to find someone to borrow money and then issue military pay. But if this happens, someone in the court will definitely use this matter to kill me."
Tang Rong rolled her eyes at him and said: "It's good that you know. Nowadays, things are different from the past. Some words and deeds need to be cautious. Many people are staring at you. If you are not careful, a wild dog will bite you."
Hearing the concern in her tone, Qin Xiao felt warm in his heart. He moved closer, reached out to hug Sister Rong's waist, and said softly: "Sister Rong, after we said goodbye to Suzhou, I have been thinking about you. Have you ever thought about it?"
