The sword on Ximen Qing's waist was originally treasured by Gao Qiu, but he carelessly wanted to compete with Gao Qiu!
This behavior is no different than a slap on Gao Qiu's face!
While talking, Ximen Qing secretly observed Gao Qiu's eyes.
From beginning to end, apart from a hint of surprise when he first saw the sword, Gao Qiu had no other reaction on his face.
On the contrary, it was quite peaceful.
"This old thief is indeed very sophisticated! He is also very kind-skinned."
Ximen Qing couldn't help but think about it, Gao Qiu suddenly burst into laughter, shaking his head while laughing.
"Comparing swords? General Ximen, do you know how many treasures I have?" Gao Qiu twirled his beard and said: "If you cut iron like clay, it can't be considered a treasure. Let's forget it!"
"You should keep this knife to deal with Tian Hu's gang of rebels... By the way, there's also that Bai Ying!"
Gao Qiu's words not only politely rejected Ximen Qing's request for a sword show, but also cleverly diverted the topic away.
Of course, Gao Qiu's heart was bleeding. That sword was considered a first-class treasure in his collection. He usually enshrined it and didn't even want to play with it. At this moment, Ximen Qing casually hung it on his waist, like an ordinary sword.
Similar.
Thinking of this, Gao Qiu suddenly twirled his hand a little too hard and almost pulled out three or five strands of his beard.
"This old thief!"
Of course, Ximen Qing noticed this and cursed in his heart, but said politely: "What the Lieutenant said is right, I have learned from you! This knife should naturally be reserved for killing rebels and traitors!"
Gao Qiu couldn't help but his eyebrows skipped a beat when he heard this...
"Let's go and discuss things inside!" Gao Qiu looked as if nothing had happened, but in fact he wished he could snatch the sword and kill Ximen Qing.
But Ximen Qing was not only an official of the Imperial City Department, but also a supervisor appointed by the government.
So Gao Qiu had no choice but to grind his teeth.
A large table had been prepared in the White Tiger Hall, with maps of the mountains, rivers, cities, and passes of the Three Jin Dynasties spread on it. Gao Qiu pulled up his sleeves and pointed with his fingers: "General Ximen, please see, Tian Hu occupied Weisheng and Fenyang in two months."
, Jinning, Zhaode, the four prefectures and forty-two counties relied on Bai Ying's assistance to assassinate or imprison the officials of the four prefectures, but no news came out, and most of the four prefectures' Xiang armies were incorporated, and the momentum was great for a while
."
"Tian Hu has already proclaimed himself emperor in Fenyang. If the Imperial City Division had not captured Zhang Tianxi alive, Bianliang would still have been kept in the dark! The officials were so angry that even Grand Master Cai received a good punishment!"
Ximen Qing said: "According to what the Taiwei sees, how should we march?"
"Since they occupied 42 counties in four prefectures, the rebels have become arrogant, and there are already signs of harassment by traitors in Gaizhou!" Gao Qiu pointed at the area below Zhaode Mansion with his finger: "If the traitors attack Gaizhou,
We must attack Gaoping and Lingchuan counties first, and then we can go east to attack Weizhou! These rebels are quite ambitious!"
Ximen Qing saw Gao Qiu making gestures with his hands and understood what he meant.
Crossing the Yellow River to the south of Weizhou is Tokyo Bianliang!
"Tong Taiwei's army is stationed in the west, and the bandits are moving behind, which will definitely disrupt morale! What's more, most of the soldiers in Tong Taiwei's hands are descendants of Qin and Jin Dynasties!" Gao Qiu said solemnly: "If Tian Hu really dares to attack Weizhou, Tong Taiwei will
The captain must ignore the Xixia people and sweep away the bandits from west to east!"
"But this way, Xixia will get a chance." Ximen Qing muttered: "Tong Taiwei can't move easily."
"So our army must advance quickly to stop the rebels before they invade Gaoping and Lingchuan!" Gao Qiu said more and more excitedly: "Then we will rely on Gaizhou and divide our troops into two groups, Jinning and Zhaode.
Mansion, forming an encirclement!"
After hearing this, Ximen Qing said to himself: "This old thief has fought in the west and has some knowledge!"
"General Ximen went out with the army this time, and his contribution is certainly not small." Gao Qiu changed his tone: "I must mention General Ximen's name in the victory reports!"
Ximen Qing laughed loudly: "Then thank you to Captain Gao for your cultivation! To be honest, I don't know anything about fighting. It will be beneficial to just follow Captain Gao when the time comes!"
"Of course!" Gao Qiu's eyes flickered, obviously making up his mind secretly: "As long as General Ximen listens to me, there will be many benefits!"
As they spoke, the two looked at each other and laughed, but their laughter was not sincere.
After sending Ximen Qing away, Gao Qiu suddenly changed his face: "You are such a bastard, why don't you get out of here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure "rolled" out from behind the screen.
"Father, why don't you capture that guy!" The one who rolled out was naturally Gao Yanei. Hearing this, he said in dismay: "Such a good opportunity, Ximen Qing's guy is so bold, he actually dares to bring a knife into the White Tiger Festival Hall!"
"Fart!" Gao Qiu slapped him in the face without politeness: "You still have the nerve to lift a knife!"
"Ouch!"
The slap was naturally not as harsh as Ximen Qing's, but Gao Yanei's scream was louder than a frightened pig: "Father, why did you hit the child?"
"Hitting you is easy!" Gao Qiu poked Gao Yanei's face with a finger: "Let me ask you, where are the dragon scales enshrined in the hall? Do you think you can deceive me by finding someone to make a fake?"
Gao Yanei was speechless. The fake cost him a thousand guan, and the scabbard alone cost hundreds of guan. Unexpectedly, Gao Qiu recognized it at a glance. The one on Ximen Qing's waist was the real dragon-scaled sword.
"Father! You have to avenge your child!" Gao Yanei's knees softened and he slowly knelt down, while tears welled up...
Gao Qiu snorted and turned his back, not even bothering to look at him.
"I told you not to mess with the Imperial City Secretary, but you just didn't listen! You even lost my dragon-scaled sword!"
Gao Yanei rolled his eyes, hugged Gao Qiu's thigh and started howling. While howling, he talked about how he fell into Ximen Qing's trick and gave away the dragon scale sword to others...
Gao Qiu's face was filled with uncertainty when he heard this, and he wanted to kick this useless thing to death.
However, Gao Qiu had no heirs, so he finally adopted this guy for more than ten years, but he couldn't get rid of him.
"My father is the marshal who conquered Tian Hu, and Ximen Qing is just a supervisor." Gao Yanei howled for a while and finally subsided: "Letting Ximen Qing die is not like picking something out of a bag!"
Gao Qiu sneered and turned around: "You are familiar with this word. When you stole the dragon-scale sword, it was just like picking something out of a bag, right?"
"Father, the child knows that he is wrong!" Gao Yanei immediately made a gesture of surrender: "From today on, the child will never leave the house again!"
"That's not necessary. It would be beneficial for you to get closer to the Crown Prince." Gao Qiu said thoughtfully, "But it's better to go to places like Baihua Tower less often!"
"I know, kid." Gao Yanei wiped away his sweat and tears indiscriminately: "Then Ximen Qing..."
"Why are you so anxious? There's a war...how can we avoid killing a few people?" Gao Qiu chuckled and said, "Wrapping corpses in horse leather is the best."
...
...
"Brother should keep this sword." Lin Chong, the leopard head, looked at the sword on the table with an apologetic expression: "Brother is going with the army to defeat Tian Hu, and it will come in handy."
Ximen Qing said "Oh", half-smiling but not smiling: "Is it possible that the instructor doesn't like this knife?"
"No way!" Lin Chong raised his head and glanced at his wife who was busy in the courtyard: "Lin Chong's habit of loving swords almost got into trouble! After thinking about it, it's better not to get involved. This time, brothers are going to attack Tian Hu.
, Lin Chong can’t accompany him either, brothers, beware of that old thief Gao Qiu!”
As the commander-in-chief of the palace, Gao Qiu was Lin Chong's immediate superior. Lin Chong called him "old thief", and it seemed that he had suffered a lot from being dumb.
"If the coach gives up his position, it would be great to come to the Imperial City Division!" Ximen Qing suggested: "If Tian Hu makes trouble, can the coach just sit back and ignore it?"
Lin Chong sighed: "Brother, I don't know. Lin Chong's position is handed down from our ancestors. If we throw it away at will... wouldn't it be an insult to our ancestors?"
As soon as Lin Chong finished speaking, Mrs. Lin Chong rushed in like a gust of wind and said: "If it weren't for Brother Ximen, the slave family would be so dirty! You still value this ancestral position, why don't you suffer under that old thief Gao Qiu?"
That anger? Fortunately, you are called a leopard head. In my opinion, you should call me a pig head instead!"
Ximen Qing almost spat out a mouthful of tea when he heard this. Mrs. Lin Chong's fiery personality was something that she had never noticed in normal times. Now that Lin Chong's two or three words touched the painful spot, she suddenly erupted like a volcano.
Lin Chong, the leopard leader, felt his face heat up and his blood was racing. He shouted: "Okay! In that case, Lin Chong resigned from the position of coach and went to attack Tian Hu with my brother Ximen!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin Chong turned from anger to joy: "This is a good official from the slave family!"
"Madam..." Lin Chonghu's eyes seemed to be filled with tears.
If Ximen Qing hadn't been there, I'm afraid the two of them would have hugged each other.
Ximen Qing coughed and slowly put the dragon-scaled sword back into Lin Chong's hand: "Since the instructor is going with me, this sword should be in the hands of the instructor to achieve maximum effectiveness, not to mention...
You can still be so angry, can't you, that old thief?"
Lin Chong gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He immediately wrote a dictionary and asked someone to send it to the palace commander's house. He then said to Ximen Qing: "From today on, Lin Chong's whole body will be handed over to Brother Ximen!"
"Ahem... That's not necessary." Ximen Qing drove out the evil thoughts that flashed through his mind: "I was at the Palace Commander's Mansion just now. According to the old thief, I should raise troops as soon as possible. The instructor still
Make preparations early.”
After looking at Lin Chong and his wife, Ximen Qing added: "The Imperial City Division is short of manpower, so my second brother will stay to help Mr. Qian take care of it. As long as he is here, the instructor can rest assured."
Lin Chong said seriously: "In that case, I will go and say goodbye to the teacher tomorrow."
"I'll ask Yan Qing to go with you tomorrow." Ximen Qing suddenly remembered the promise he made to Mr. Zhou Tong. Even though Jade Qilin Lu Junyi died, Zhou Tong still wanted to meet the prodigal Yan Qing, his righteous servant. He was so busy that he almost forgot about it.
this matter.
"I don't know how Liu Renzhong and Wang Qing returned to Liangshan and taught them the hook-and-scythe spear technique?" Ximen Qing returned to his home and thought: "I didn't know that those leaders from the mountains would come to Bianliang. Sun Li
