Ximen Qing became the supervisor. This result did not surprise many people. Even King Zhao Kai felt that this seemed to be the best choice.
Although he personally invited Ying a few days ago, it would be too embarrassing for Tian Hu for the prince to serve as the supervisor; Zhao Kai also felt that Ximen Qing was the most suitable candidate.
After Ximen Qing became an official, his rank was also somersaulted upwards. He was no longer the xuanjie captain at the time. This time he got the post of supervisor of the army, and his rank was also promoted to guerrilla general. He was demoted from the fifth rank.
.
"Originally, you could be promoted to the rank of Colonel Xuangjie at most, but you are sitting in charge of the army, and your rank as a captain cannot be justified." Qian Gui always had some idea of the arrangements from above: "Although the guerrilla general is the lowest rank,
level, but at least he has the title of general, which is one level higher than that of Captain Xuejie. It seems that you have taken advantage of him."
Ximen Qing burst into laughter: "Then everyone will have to call me General from now on? General Ximen... doesn't sound cool enough. General Chuixue seems a bit too literary and young, and his momentum is weak. I'm still General Ximen."
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Why can't people understand these words in your mouth?" Qian Gui shook his head repeatedly after hearing this: "War is not a child's play. You are the supervisor. Although you don't have to charge into battle, fighting is natural.
It’s a job of tying your head to a belt, but you have to be careful.”
Ximen Qing laughed and patted the Thunder Stone on his waist: "I don't have a head here, only this Thunder Stone."
Qian Gui also laughed twice with a hoarse throat, like sawing wood, which was intertwined with Ximen Qing's laughter, which was a bit funny.
"The main reason I came here this time is to ask about the horses seized from Zhang Tianxi... what do you plan to do with them?"
After Ximen Qing laughed for a while, he revealed the purpose of his trip.
"I still don't know what you want to do?" Qian Gui gradually stopped laughing: "You are lucky. I asked someone to see it, and most of the more than one hundred horses were trained war horses. I'm afraid they are
Zhang Tianxi selected the best horses from Tian Hu's army and came to Bianliang to try his luck."
"How can Tian Hu's luck match mine?" Ximen Qing chuckled and said, "To be honest, I have a private army of a hundred people on Liangshan Mountain..."
Qian Gui immediately stopped Ximen Qing from continuing: "Hold on! I just pretend that I have never heard these words of yours, and you just pretend that I have never said them. To be honest, I don't care about anything in Liangshan, as long as I am here
You, General Ximen, are in charge, as long as you don’t rebel."
"The supervisory army originally had to bring its own personal soldiers. I originally wanted to allocate a hundred black-clothed policemen to you, but there are too many new recruits recently." Qian Gui continued: "It's better for you to do this, but save yourself.
I won my heart. Follow the soldiers and you can handle it yourself."
"But I want to take away No. 8 from Group A and No. 26 from Group A." Ximen Qing heard what Qian Gui said and quickly grabbed the last chance: "With these two people, it will be much easier to deal with Bai Ying and the others.
."
Qian Gui nodded slightly: "It's up to you, it's up to you. Those horses are all raised in Wuzhanghe. You can just find someone to pick them up yourself."
"Then thank you, Lord Qian." Ximen Qing got these more than a hundred war horses, which made him more powerful and saved a lot of money at the same time.
Qian Gui tapped his fingers on the mahogany table and muttered: "General Ximen, I just don't understand. The army is about to set off in the near future. Your people are on Liangshan Mountain. I'm afraid they won't be able to make it in time?"
"The mountain man has his own clever plan." Ximen Qing chuckled and said, "I can keep it as long as I can."
At this time, Shi Qian had already brought Ximen Qing's letter with him. On the way to Shuibo Liangshan, in addition to the four armored horses tied to his own legs, Shi Qian also carried more than 200 armored horses with him.
horse.
These are the necessary conditions for the Blood Blowing Guards Corps to catch up.
At that time, those who came back with Shi Qian were not only the blood-blowing soldiers, but also the Liangshan leaders.
"Then I don't care." Qian Gui shook his head and said, "I still say the same thing: be careful."
There was something in Qian Gui's words, but Ximen Qing could tell something: "Is Master Qian talking about Captain Gao?"
"Do you think Lieutenant Gao doesn't know that you have been dealing with Gao Yanei again and again?" Qian Gui reminded Ximen Qing: "This person seems indifferent on the surface, but in fact he is the most forbearing and small-minded. You have to be careful.
."
For those who have read Water Margin, Ximen Qing naturally knows what kind of person Gao Taiwei is. He was called around from a gangster on the street to getting acquainted with Duan Wang, who is now the Daojun Emperor.
Zhao Ji was a free rider, and Gao Qiu was not only forbearing, but also planned carefully, and gradually took the position of the palace commander.
But after he became the palace commander, the first thing he did was to demonstrate. Just because Wang Jin's father had beaten him, Gao Qiu wanted to recover this old debt from Wang Jin.
If Wang Jin hadn't taken advantage of the limelight and just dragged his old mother away, Gao Qiu wouldn't have been in such a bad shape.
This story is the beginning of Water Margin, why doesn’t Ximen Qing remember it?
But why should Ximen Qing be afraid of him?
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and a policeman in black came in with a gold-plated invitation in his hand.
"Lieutenant Gao has sent me a message to invite Lord Ximen to come over for discussion."
If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will come.
Ximen Qing and Qian Gui looked at each other and smiled. Ximen Qing stood up and said, "What is supposed to come will come. Just let me meet this Captain Gao."
"Don't say much, be careful." Qian Gui still seemed a little worried.
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Have you ever heard of Mr. Qian about the story of going to a meeting alone?"
While Qian Gui was still pondering the meaning of Ximen Qing's words, Ximen Qing had already taken the invitation and was laughing all the way there.
When Gao Qiu came to invite him, it was natural that the fox was paying New Year greetings to the old hen, so he was not being kind.
So Ximen Qing felt that what he needed to do now was to make Gao Qiu unable to see through him.
A person like Gao Qiu, who is extremely deep and forbearing, will never dare to take action until he sees the target clearly.
Inviting Ximen Qing to discuss matters naturally contained the intention of testing him.
Before going to the Palace Commander's Mansion, Ximen Qing first went to a place to borrow something.
...
...
When Ximen Qing appeared at the door of the Palace Commander's Mansion wearing a brand new official uniform, the two princes at the door couldn't believe their eyes.
Ximen Qing came here on foot, and he was alone.
If it weren't for the gilded invitation, the two Chengju would not have believed that this was Ximen Qing in front of them.
Ximen Qing slapped Gao Yanei's face hard.
And I smoked it more than once.
What surprised them even more was that Ximen Qing had what looked like a very expensive knife hanging on his waist.
The shark skin sheath and the dragon swallowing the mouth look a bit familiar?
One of the officials swallowed his saliva and asked hesitantly: "Sir Ximen, this knife...?"
"Mine." Ximen Qing replied with a smile: "This knife is mine."
"That's not what I mean." Na Chengju smiled and said, "The Taiwei ordered Master Ximen to discuss matters at the White Tiger Festival Hall. You are not allowed to bring sharp objects in there..."
Ximen Qing pretended to be furious, pointed at Cheng Ju and shouted: "Fart! This knife has always been with me. If the official is here, I can naturally take off this knife. The White Tiger Festival Hall is only with me."
In the eyes, it looks like a hut! Such a request from Captain Gao is really unacceptable!"
"That's not what I mean...that's not what I mean..." Na Chengju was so frightened that he almost peed. The White Tiger Hall was a military base and turned into a hut in Ximen Qing's words.
I don't know how to respond...
The other Chengju rolled his eyes and smoothed things over: "If you can bring it, you can bring it, as long as Mr. Ximen is willing..."
"Nonsense!" Ximen Qing shouted: "I am willing! Lead the way!"
"Yes!" Na Chengju, sweating in his hands, led Ximen Qing in, passed through two or three gates, and arrived at a place surrounded by green railings.
"Master Ximen, please stay here for a little while until I go in and report to the Taiwei."
Ximen Qing put his hand on the handle of the knife and stared at Chengju without saying a word. Chengju was a little frightened by the sight, so he turned around and went in.
Ximen Qing looked up and saw a large plaque in front of the eaves. There were four green characters on it, which read: "White Tiger Festival Hall".
After looking at it, Ximen Qing couldn't help but sneer.
If it weren't for himself, the person standing here would be Lin Chong, who was deceived by a certain tactic and accidentally broke into the White Tiger Festival Hall. Of course, these were all traps set by Gao Qiu in Water Margin, which caused Lin Chong to suffer a lot.
In reality, Gao Yanei deceived Gao Qiu and stole the sword. He asked Fu An to pretend to be a knife seller, drag Lin Chong back, and then tricked Lin Chong's wife into coming out.
But with Ximen Qing, this almost successful strategy was completely destroyed; Ximen Qing finally gave the sword to Lin Chong.
Today Ximen Qing borrowed it from Lin Chong in order to give Gao Qiu a "surprise".
I heard the sound of shoes and footsteps, but a middle-aged man in a scarlet robe came out of the White Tiger Festival Hall and trotted very enthusiastically: "It turns out that General Ximen has arrived. Please come inside and talk!"
Ximen Qing saw that the man was eight feet tall, with a white face and three to five black beards. Not everyone could wear this scarlet robe, so he must be Gao Qiu.
Gao Qiu naturally knew about Ximen Qingpin's promotion to guerrilla general.
However, as a Taiwei, Gao Qiu was a second-rank officer, and Ximen Qing, a guerrilla general, was barely a fifth-rank official, so there was really no need to welcome him so warmly.
Ximen Qing sneered in his heart, and cupped his hands slightly: "The position of a low-ranking official is so humble, how can you let the Taiwei come out to greet you?"
"General Ximen is the supervisor appointed by the Holy Emperor, so of course he is!" Gao Qiu touched his beard, nodded slightly and said: "General Ximen is a young and talented man. Gao Qiu has admired him for a long time..."
Before he finished speaking, Gao Qiu saw the sharkskin sheathed sword on Ximen Qing's waist, and his face changed color slightly.
This sword was originally a treasure of Gao Qiu, how could you not recognize it?
Ximen Qing smiled slightly, showing his neat and white teeth: "I heard that there is a treasured sword in the Taiwei's house, which can cut iron as well as clay. I specially brought the family heirloom sword to compare with the previous one... Taiwei meant
