Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

Tang Cheng waved his hand and said decisively: "Then we should find a way to let them fight in Changli."

The ironware business, especially the military business, is very profitable. It would be great to do this kind of business for an extra day, let alone for an extra three to five months, half a year, and a year. Hearing this, Min Su'an asked the dog who asked about the smell of rotting corpses The same body jerked and his eyes widened suddenly, "Wu Que, what can you do?".

"What can I do, but I just think of a way from the business in hand." Tang Cheng turned his head and looked around. After seeing no one around, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Brother Min, think about it. How to fight? [-]% of Rao Le’s weapons are imported from the customs, and the way of importing [-]% of the weapons is in our hands, which means…”

Hearing this, Min Su'an, who vaguely understood something, felt his throat dry, and asked anxiously, "What...".

"That is to say, how we sell our weapons, who they sell to or not in Rao Le's Five Parts, how much they sell at a time, and how often they sell each time can directly affect the entire war process of Rao Le, even if they can't decide the final battle. As a result, at least it shouldn’t be a problem to delay this war for a little longer, Brother Min, just think about it, how much profit can this extra day make?” Tang Cheng’s low-pitched laughter revealed a trace of Leng Yi said, "A certain person ordered an arms embargo before just to let Rao Le Wubu know our weight. The clearer they understand this point, the easier it is to talk to them when doing business with them. These people usually They are all used to being unruly, how can they succeed if they don't beat and suppress their arrogance?".

At this point, Min Su'an could not understand what he heard. Tang Cheng's words really shook his heart when he heard it clearly. He used arms sales to affect the progress of the war, and the progress of the war further promoted the sale of arms. The back and forth are all real money, business... can you still do this?I got it, I really got it!

"Everyone is a brother, and I don't have anyone who doesn't believe in you. Wuque, Rao Le's arms business will follow the rules you said, and I will explain it to you, Master." Rao Min Su'an repeated in his heart. Reminding himself to hold his breath and not make Tang Cheng too proud, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his voice. After saying this sentence, he made a gesture and pondered for a while before saying: "The rules are according to your rules, but this time, brother There is also something I would like to ask Wu Que to accommodate."

"Accommodating, just say it is", Tang Cheng said with a smile, while raising his hand to make a false signal to speak.

Min Suan's body didn't move, he still stood at the same spot and raised his jaw towards the tent to signal: "The Xi Manzi who came with me just now is the younger brother of the leader of the Suo Department, and he walked through an old relationship to find his elder brother and said I want to buy some weapons. I didn't want to do such a shitty thing, but I can't get rid of the affection of that old relationship, so I can only find Wu Que in front of you. I don't care how much I want to buy some weapons for him. It can be regarded as saving my face, you see... this thing can be done?".

The member of the Suo Department is also the younger brother of Suoping. After hearing Min Suan's request and hearing about the origin of that Xiren, Tang Cheng was so happy that he almost screamed up to the sky. — couldn't be more appropriate.From his point of view, he didn't want to see one of Rao Le's five departments dominate. This poses too great an invisible threat to Longmen. Now, the strength of Suo and Shali in the five departments is obviously superior, but Sally has Khitan support behind him, even if Min Su'an doesn't come today, Tang Cheng intends to take the initiative to contact the Exploration Department for the purpose of balancing consumption, but now it can be avoided.

Doing business and negotiating conditions, taking the initiative to find other people's doors and asking others to beg you are two completely different concepts!

Although Tang Cheng was very happy when he heard the news, he pondered for a long time with a embarrassed expression on his face, "Brother Min, my plan was to ban it again... Forget it, since Brother Min opened it I never refuted the reason for embarrassing you." Seeing Tang Cheng wave his hand full of pride, Min Su'an, who had accepted the great benefits of Suo Hai, finally felt a stone fall to the ground, "Okay, there is no lack of love. , I will remember this affection!"

When Tang Cheng stretched out his hand again, Min Su'an, who had a smile on his face, walked towards the tent comfortably.

"This Xiren really has a way, and he was able to find Brother Min's sect." Tang Cheng walked into the tent, and said with a bit of worry: "It's just that this matter has been spread, and I'm afraid that the observation will make adults ...".

"With such a big business, how can we hide it from everyone?" Min Su'an waved his hand indifferently to Tang Cheng's unfinished intentions, "Relying on mountains to eat mountains, my master's decades of officials are not in vain. Don't say that he is a barbarian who doesn't dare, even if he has that ungrateful mind, how can he make any noise in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty? This group of people refuses to accept Wang Hua, and the court not only receives no benefit from them every year , but also spend a large amount of money to reward them, and now that they are killing each other, the more they die, the better, and it saves money for the court, who cares about this?".

Min Su'an spoke so bluntly that Tang Cheng really didn't know what to say. At this moment, the two of them had already walked to the tent. Tang Cheng stopped talking and walked in with a smile.

Seeing Min Su'an with a relaxed smile on his face, Pao Suohai in the tent quietly let out a sigh of relief, it's done!Then he focused all his attention on Tang Cheng and took a good look up and down.I really didn't expect that it was such a young Tang man who controlled the entry and exit of Rao Le's military weapons and irons, and he actually had the identity of Sima of the Rao Le Governor's Mansion.According to the news, this Sima Tangcheng kidnapped Li Chengzhong. As for Li Chengzhong's decree to voluntarily abdicate the throne, it was probably also at his behest.

This person is not simple, so I must talk to my brother about it when I go back this time.

These thoughts flashed through my heart in an instant, but no matter what, Suohai was full of surprises for being able to successfully buy weapons. To say that the most uncomfortable thing in this embargo was their Suohai, and their struggle with Sally for hegemony. When the battle of the war was about to start, there was no supply of weapons, how could this battle be fought?What's more terrible is that the powerful enemy Sally has the support of the Khitan dog behind him, so he is not afraid of this at all. Under the circumstances of the ups and downs, the Exploration Department has to open up the road to arms supply no matter what the price is, and the time must be as soon as possible. .

Tang Cheng and Min Su'an had already sat down by themselves when Suo Hai's thoughts changed sharply, and then there was a brief introduction and greeting.

After exchanging pleasantries, Min Su'an, who was confident in his mind, didn't say any more nonsense, and directly mentioned the supply of weapons to the Exploration Department.

"Since Brother Min has come forward, there is nothing to say about this matter." Tang Cheng smiled slightly and ordered outside the tent, "Come here."

Zheng San entered in response, "Go, call Tu Yesi over."

After Tu Yesi came in, Tang Cheng didn't say a word of extra nonsense, and said, "Two thousand scimitars, ten thousand arrows, arrange the caravan to prepare goods as soon as possible, and as for the route, it depends on where you go The Patriarch of the Patriarch".

"Yes", Tu Yesi nodded and smiled reservedly at Zuo Suohai, "Please also ask the patriarch to come to the small tent later."

"It's easy to say, easy to say", I had suffered enough from the embargo before, and then I went through all kinds of troubles to find and deal with Min Su'an. I never thought that things are going so smoothly now, after the overjoyed Suohai Xiangtu Yesi repeatedly nodded , turned around and thanked Tang Cheng and the others.

"If you want to thank you, thank you Brother Min. Patriarch Pausuo has found the right person." Tang Cheng's words in his laughter made Min Su'an's eyes narrow.

Know how to do, this Tang Cheng is a little young, but he really knows how to do things!

"That's natural, Mr. Min will definitely thank you very much here." Suo Ping bowed his hands to Min Su'an before smiling and said: "The military equipment is about to be shipped, and the price must be set by the two of you. It’s good to negotiate.”

Hearing this, Min Su'an, who didn't say anything, took the opportunity of serving tea sideways and gave Tang Cheng a hard look.

"Price!" Tang Cheng put his hands on the table beside him, tapped and pondered for a while, and then said suddenly: "Forget it, since Brother Min is here, I will do my favor to the end. Compared with the market price at the beginning of the year, add [-]% and ask the patriarch, so you are still satisfied?".

What time is it now!Even the Khitan dog's weapon for Sally has increased by [-]% compared to the market price at the beginning of the year, which is still the "support price". Tang Cheng's price is [-]% less than Suo Hai's most optimistic estimate. What else is he dissatisfied with? Under the overjoyed, Na Suohai suddenly stood up in disbelief, "Really?"

"You are not joking," Tang Cheng laughed, "If Patriarch Patriarch is not at ease, then go and get the documents done first. The regulations that need to be done here should be done first, and the shipment can be made sooner over there." , as we will talk about it later."

"Believe it, trust it", although Zuo Suohai said so, he was still in a hurry to get out of the tent after all.

As soon as Suohai walked out of the tent, Min Suan put down the teacup in his hand and complained, "Wu Que, you didn't see my wink? According to the current market, let alone a [-]% to [-]% increase in price, it's just that you call it [-]% He has only promised."

"Ah, Brother Min, you... I thought..." Tang Cheng patted his forehead angrily, "Forget it, there is no reason to go back on your word at this point, this is a long-term business, and I will make up for it next time." ".

But Min Su'an didn't feel relieved at all, he just said: "This barbarian is cheap, this time he is really cheap."

Seeing him like this, Tang Cheng couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart, but said: "Brother Min, why don't you go talk to Zuo Suohai, I'm all for your sake."

"Tell me, I have to talk." When Min Su'an got up and walked to the door of the tent, he stopped suddenly, turned around and smiled at Tang Cheng in a low voice: "If you have money, please don't worry, your share will definitely be indispensable." ".

"It's easy to say, easy to say." After Tang Cheng gave him a knowing smile, Min Su'an, who was still annoyed just now, left the tent with a smile on his face.

As soon as the others left, Tang Cheng put away his smile and put down the teacup, and began to think about the rules for negotiating conditions with the search department in his mind.

By the time Tang became ready for the reception banquet prepared by Min Suan, Suohai's affairs were almost done. Of course he was satisfied, and Min Suan, who took advantage of the opportunity just now, was also very satisfied, so Under the atmosphere, the banquet was really a feast for the guests and host.

When the feast was about to end, Min Su'an winked at Tang Cheng, glanced at Suohai's ambiguous smile, then staggered to his feet and said, "Wu Que, I'm going to rest when I'm drunk, don't send, don't send, you No matter how good the two of them are to have a few cups of raw food!"

After he left, Zuo Suohai held up his bottle to invite Tang Cheng for a drink, and looked at the servants serving the banquet carefully.

These servants were sent by Tu Yezhuo to take care of Tang Cheng's diet and daily life. After Tang Cheng sent them away, Zuo Suohai gently placed a thick stack of flying tickets in front of Tang Cheng when he got up.

Tang Cheng picked up the thick stack of flying tickets and stroked them casually, then glanced at Zuo Suohai, and put the flying tickets into his sleeve with a smile.

Seeing that Tang Cheng had accepted the flight ticket, Suo Hai's eyes lit up suddenly, he laughed and picked up the wine bottle, "From now on, the headquarters will have to take care of military weapons, please!".

Tang Cheng touched the wine bottle but didn't pick it up. When the embarrassed Suohai couldn't continue to smile, he said with a shallow smile: "I can supply the military weapons. I will give you as much as you want. As for the price, I will give you whatever price the Khitans gave Shali."

When he heard the last sentence, Suohai shook his body. After taking a deep look at Tang Cheng, he put down the wine bottle in his hand and at the same time put down the smile on his face, "It's so natural, I don't know Sima What does your lord want?"

Chapter 2 Eighty-eighty Kung Fu Pays Off

"Only two things." In the private tent, Tang Cheng looked at Suohai quietly for a while and then lit up two fingers, "First, I want the safety of this place. Suobu's war horses must not go south."

Hearing Tang Cheng mention this request, Suohai's momentum was lifted by his intention to show his kindness to the two of them just now, and he even straightened his back a little, "Brother needs to make a big decision like this. You can’t be the master. Master Sima might as well set out the conditions together, and I’ll take them back with me.”

At this time, Suohai can be sent out to be responsible for the most important affairs of the clan. His status in the Suohai Department is definitely not low, but he can say "I can't be the master" without any concealment. In this case, this alone made Tang Cheng's impression of him much better.

This is a guy who can do real things.Tang Cheng got up and picked up the wine cup to fill up the two of them, then raised the wine cup and made a gesture of inviting a drink, "As for the second thing, do me a personal favor."

"Master Sima, please speak."

"I want to set up some officials in your army who are responsible for supervising military law and discipline." As soon as he said this, Zuo Suohai, who was sipping from his head, suddenly tightened his body, and the glass of wine suddenly stopped by his mouth. A moment later, when he raised his head, his eyes were already burning and clear, and he no longer looked like a businessman who was careful to please him just now, "Your Excellency...you must be joking!".

Tang Cheng didn't notice Suo Hai's burning eyes, and continued his words without changing his tone: "Sima is a military judge, and he is in charge of military law and law, but he is here for fun, hehe It's not even a decoration. Don't worry, Patriarch Zuo, I have no intention of interfering in the military affairs of your ministry, but I just want to do something, even if it's just a show for the officials to see! It's because of the former Sima I can’t do anything, if someone can set up a military law officer in the Rao Lexi Army, even if it’s just an appearance, it’s a great achievement, and at least some of the achievements in the pass will be transferred back to the pass when the merits are tested in the future.”

When Tang Cheng said these words, he was casual and casual, which complemented his demeanor when he accepted Suohai's bribery flight ticket just now, "Since we are talking about the terms of the transaction, I will open up and say that the two conditions mentioned are fairness and fairness. One is private, business matters should not be ambiguous, private matters are also very tight, people go to high places, say that the people from Tang who grew up in the pass are really not suitable for Rao Le's land and water, and the heart of returning home is still there. I will have a lot of help from your ministry!"

After listening to Tang Cheng's words completely, Suo Haishi's suddenly tense body slowly relaxed again, "Master Sima, Rao Lexi is ruled by five divisions now!".

"It's up to man," Tang Cheng smiled and shook the wine glass in his hand, "I'll slowly figure out a solution for the other four, but please help me put up a flower shelf to support the scene. It's hard to say about the Shali department, but Cuoping , Tuduo and Duomo Sanbu have some confidence that they can always speak well."

Seeing Tang Cheng's tone, Zuo Suohai inexplicably came up with an idea - he didn't even make money to carry out the embargo, so the root cause was here.After secretly spitting "official ruffian, official fan" in his heart, he said: "But I don't know what kind of regulations your lord is setting up for military law and officials?".

"Simple, every 300 people in your army set up a military law officer. The name of the job is to record the merits. In name, these people are under the jurisdiction of our Sima Mansion." Seeing what Suohai opened his mouth to say, Tang Chengman didn't care He waved his hand, "It's just that my small yamen in the Sima Mansion Temple is low, and I don't have so many people to dispatch, so there are no more than five or six people who can be dispatched to your army, and the rest will all depend on your department." Choose your own people."

After hearing Tang Cheng's words, Suo Hai felt relieved a lot, but he didn't promise anything right away, he only said that he would go back and report to his elder brother Suo Ping before making a decision.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, but my military law officer here also has a rule. I don't care who your ministry chooses, but the elected people can't arrange other things for them. These must be full-time. You have to make a good show, and the officials in Chang'an are not easy to fool." At this point, following Tang Cheng's order, Zheng San called Tu Yesi from the next tent.

"Go and arrange it again, and add three thousand bows and arrows to the shipment from the Suohai Department." After Tang Cheng glanced at Suohai, he smiled and said to Tu Yesi: "In addition, say hello to the caravan leader." , These are meeting gifts given by a private person to the patriarch of Suo Suo, let them ask Zheng San to pay the bill."

Tu Yesi didn't say a single word, so he agreed and left. Suohai didn't expect such an outburst, but when he was about to stand up to express his thanks, Tang Cheng shook his head with a smile and stopped him, "It's the one who makes friends the most. It means mutual care, one hero and three gangs. It’s just three thousand bows and arrows, what is it worth? Oh, yes, those military law officers of your department have to be sent to me after they are selected. At least some basic regulations must be made known to them, or that sentence, even if you put on airs, you have to look like it! If your ministry is in a hurry, maybe you can send people before the second batch of military shipments?".

The meaning in the words couldn't be clearer, and Suohai just received three thousand bows and arrows for nothing, and now facing Tang Cheng's smiling and questioning gaze, he could only say: "Do my best, I will definitely try my best!".

"Okay!" Hearing this, Tang Cheng, who laughed, walked up to Suo Hai and stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, "I see that the patriarch is a good match. Don't worry, the patriarch. Strict, but generous to fellowship, okay, okay!".

The conversation between the two has reached this point, and the atmosphere in the tent has also reached this point, while Suo Hai pondered, he threw out the question that he didn't want to ask this time, "My lord, there are several sergeants next to the tent. The man who lives in the guarded tent is the one who abdicated the Xi throne a few days ago, right?"

Tang Cheng admitted frankly without any concealment, "Yes, that's him."

"Then forgive me for asking boldly, what does your lord mean by keeping him by your side? What is the imperial court's regulations for the Duomo Department?" When asked about this, Cuo Suohai's concern was compared to what he had just heard about the military law and officials. There are still times.

Tang Chengwen, who was about to go out after talking about the matter, sat back again, and he didn't hide anything about it, "Keep Li Chengzhong by my side because I'm afraid that something will happen to him, and now Rao Le is the most important thing for me in the Ministry of Officials." The task is to ensure his safety and security. This is a major matter that concerns the face of the emperor and the court. If Li Chengzhong does something good or bad, I will lose my future at the slightest! But then again, Li Chengzhong is Li Chengzhong, and the Duomo Department It is the Domo Department, and in the eyes of the imperial court, the Domo Department is no different from the other four departments."

Shaking his head with a smile, Tang Cheng casually picked up a soybean with wine and threw it into his mouth, chewing it crunchily, "I heard that your department and the Shali department are currently in a stalemate with the Duomo department in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. ?”.

"It's true," Suo Hai's eyes still fell on Tang Cheng's face momentarily.

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins!" After explaining what Suo Hai was thinking, Tang Cheng chuckled, "I've seen Duo Mogao before, but he's really a bit of a wolf. From now on, the patriarch and your department have to be careful."

Cuo Suohai's eyes jumped, and he said in a probing tone: "My brother intends to negotiate with Shaliqi. The two families send troops to beat up the wolf cub Duo Mogao first. I don't know... what do you think?"

"This is your family business, what can I say?" Tang Cheng couldn't help laughing out loud, "However, if your ministry and Shali really want to do this, I don't mind having a drink for it. Just don't run away from Duo Mogao."

Seeing that Tang Cheng not only didn't care about Duomo's army, but even showed obvious gloat, Zuo Suohai finally let go of his worries.

Now that the imperial court's attitude is clear and the arms supply line has been opened, it's time to act!

After sending Suo Hai away, Tang Cheng turned around and entered the tent where Tu Yesi was.

"You will go there yourself later, and ask your father to pick thirty or fifty bold and careful people from the clan for me."

Although Tang Cheng had deliberately said it plainly, Tu Yesi still heard the meaning of excitement from it, and he didn't see him like this when he was making money every day. What could make Tang Cheng so excited?So far, Tu Yesi, who has been adhering to the principle of "talk less, ask less, do more and see more", couldn't help asking curiously.

"I want to send these people to the Suo army as military officials." Tang Cheng ignored Tu Yesi who was distracted by his words, and smiled comfortably: "Kung fu pays off. Get out of the crack!".

……

It is not necessary to pass through the control area of ​​the Shali Department from the Duomo Department to the Suo Department in the northwest of Rao Le. As for the current Tuduo Department, they have no courage to provoke the Suo Group, so the Suo Group did not follow the caravan. Colleagues, after completing this matter, they rode directly to the army stationed near the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Afterwards, the calm aftertaste of being forcibly dragged out by Duo Mogao on the Rao Le Grassland finally dissipated. The moment hundreds of majestic and desolate horns sounded at the same time, the long-awaited war broke out.

But what surprised almost everyone was that the first battle of this war not only did not break out between Sally and Suo, but was also fought together.

It is Duo Mogao who bears the joint attack of the two coalition forces!

Domogao never dreamed that such a situation would happen, and the cavalry of Domo was caught off guard by this, and suffered heavy losses in a short period of time under the thunder offensive of the two coalition forces of Sosaushali and was defeated.Fortunately, the vast battle array, the high mobility of the cavalry, and the mutual precautions and omissions within the coalition forces allowed Domogao to flee southward in a hurry with more than ten thousand remnants.

After the coalition forces defeated the Domo cavalry, half of the troops returned to the main formation, and the other 1 people were divided into left and right sides to surround the Dudufu. The main entrance is the boundary, and the left behind troops of the two armies are as distinct as the Chu River and the Han boundary.

After such a strange arrangement was arranged outside the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the two main camps of Shali and Zuo Suo broke out almost at the same time, rushing all the way to the southeast and all the way to the southwest. The Ministry and the Cuoping Ministry ignited the flames of war.

The Raole Grassland Battle started with an unimaginable battle, and then continued to expand in an unexpected way. Judging from this posture, the two powerhouses are clearly determined to wipe out all bystanders before fighting between the two tigers.

Although Tang Cheng was not surprised by the start of the war, the subsequent actions of the two Suoshali departments were beyond his expectations. In order to adapt to the changes, he has not had a good night's sleep these days, and he has been busy like a spinning top. non-stop.

Chapter 281 Leverage strength to become momentum, turn opportunity into opportunity

"Where are the cavalry from the Suo Sui Department?" In the tent by the Jiehe River, Tang Cheng pointed to the simple map drawn by Liu Suifeng and asked Tu Yesi without looking up.

"The Basuo Department's soldiers are at their peak, and the cavalry forward has already crossed the Ulan River. The Tuduo Department is weak to resist, and now it's just trying to delay some time." Following Tu Yesi's explanation, Tang Cheng picked up the rabbit hair Zhu Bi made a mark on the map. Liu Suifeng, who just came back, almost went around the entire Raole Grassland a few days ago, and Li Chengzhong and others can be used as a reference. Therefore, although this map is crude, it is accurate. Not too low, with this wipe, it is obvious that nearly half of the Tuduobu grassland shown on the map has been attacked. Compared with the attack speed of the Southwest Cable Division, the Southeast is wreaking havoc on the territory of the Pingcuo Division The progress of the Sali department is slightly slower.

"Strong soldiers come out of poor mountains and evil waters, this statement is really true." Tu Yesi, who leaned over and looked down at the map, sighed: "Wealth and pride, these three southern tribes are the best example. It is far superior to Suo Suo and Sally, but when a war starts...hey! It seems that the battle between King Rao Lexi will probably end in Suo Suo."

Hearing Tu Yesi's words, Tang Cheng stroked the map and smiled, "It's too early for you to come to this conclusion." After saying this, he didn't explain anything. Is there any news today?"

Tu Yesi's eyes turned to Tang Cheng's face along the map, trying to see something from his expression, but in the end he got nothing. Since Tang Cheng didn't want to say anything, he didn't ask any more questions. Slightly bowed his head and closed his eyes and said: "When I came here just now, there is no news, but the transfer of troops and horses from the four remnant soldiers that started yesterday is still going on. Although it seems that they are still stationed together, the mutual guard The trend of division has become more and more obvious. I think it will take a few days to see the results of the division strategy that the adults made that day."

"Take advantage of the situation to get twice the result with half the effort. The rapid development of this matter is beyond my expectation. I have to thank the two departments of Suo and Shali for this. There is also a lot of greed and self-destruction. The reason is inside." Tang Cheng picked up the teacup and sat down on the stool behind him, blowing the tea foam lightly while saying: "Bo Suo and Sally are fighting like fire, neither we nor Duo Mobu Time is wasted on this, and you send someone to send a message to those patriarchs to urge them, three days, within three days at the latest, I will see Domogao's head."

Tang Cheng's voice was faint, but the three casually stretched fingers landed in Tu Yesi's eyes, which was shocking. Duo Mogao was also the head of the clan after all, and there were only five such clan heads, Man Rao Le. At this moment, Mo Gao's head is as indifferent as killing a cow and a sheep.

It wasn't until Tang Cheng stopped talking and glanced at him that Tu Yesi, who was wandering in his thoughts, collected his mind and concentrated on listening, "Let the person who passed the message be tougher, this is not a negotiation, but an ultimatum! As long as it can be done within three days If this matter is done within a short period of time, the cattle and sheepskin goods in their clan can be exchanged for real gold and silver immediately, and I will not lose them a copper coin; in addition, the lack of military supplies can be replenished immediately; or even Their own wealth and lives can be protected as well. But after these three days..." At this point, Tang Cheng smiled coldly, "Let them talk to Suoping themselves." .

"I'll take care of this right away," Tu Yesi nodded and then asked, "This morning, the envoys sent by Tuduo and the Tsopping Ministry have asked to see you again and again. Are you seeing these people or not?"

Wen Wen Tang Cheng waved his hand, "It's useless for me to meet these people without holding Duomo in my hand for a day. I can only talk when I have something on hand. Let's hang it out first! Wait until they are kidnapped." The fight with Sally was even worse, and the best time to meet was when most of the refugees had reached the border of the Duomo Grassland. Whether it was your own or a borrowed hammer, if you want to eat walnuts, you have to smash them first."

After Tu Yesi promised, he was about to turn around and leave the tent, but was stopped by Tang Cheng, "Send more scouts to Duomogao in the past two days, and your father should also say hello in advance, in case the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry ".

Tu Yesi took the order to go out to do errands. Tang Chengjing sat on the stool and sipped the tea in a cup of tea in thought. After rubbing his tired face with both hands, he got up and went to Li Chengzhong's tent.

A chess record, a chessboard, with black and white pieces scattered on it, Li Chengzhong lived in seclusion and entertained himself with the score as in the past few days, his leisure and Tang Cheng's fast pace really formed Stark contrast.

Seeing Tang Cheng coming in, Li Chengzhong didn't get up, Tang Cheng didn't care about it, and found a place to sit down, "My lord, I want to hear about the situation of the Duomo tribe. Is there any one of the four patriarchs who is suitable to succeed Duomo?" The tallest candidate?".

Hearing this question, Li Chengzhong's hand holding a sunspot suddenly trembled, but at this moment Tang Cheng rubbed his forehead and said with a smile: "I've been so busy lately that I forgot such an important thing. My lord, Honglu Temple has officially issued a written reply after I reported your matter last time—choose a day to enter Beijing at your discretion, and the mansion, rank and salary will all follow the established rules of the king, congratulations, lord, for getting into the imperial capital," he said with a smile in his mouth , Tang Cheng pointed to the chessboard in front of Li Chengzhong, "Wang Jixin, who solved this game, has now settled in Chang'an. The prince loves this way very much. Now he finally has the opportunity to sit down and talk with this person. Isn't it a great pleasure in life!".

The slightly trembling hands just now stopped. Facing Tang Cheng's jokes, Li Chengzhong not only didn't smile at all, but his whole body was instantly exhausted as if someone had taken time out. The old age and fatigue that appeared and the shadow cast on him by the tent complement each other perfectly.

Seeing him like this, Tang Cheng never spoke, but just sat quietly.

"I'm going to Chang'an to be an idle prince waiting to die. There is nothing to kill in the long days of silence. I don't care if I don't like this black and white guy." After a long time, Li Chengzhong said this sentence with mixed flavors. The chess piece he was holding in his hand finally landed on the board, and there was a crisp "ding" sound. He asked without raising his head, "I don't know what Tang Sima meant by suitable."

"Be obedient, easy to control!" Tang Cheng's answer was short and direct.

"I understand, I understand!" Li Chengzhong murmured and then spit out a name, "Domoqi!" After saying these three words, he picked up another chess piece in his hand, and his expression was no longer the slightest bit. What he wanted to say was that since he heard the news that he was going to Beijing just now, he never looked up at Tang Cheng from the beginning to the end.

Tang Cheng smiled and stood up, "From now on, I can't say that I can borrow from the prince, and the prince can live here with peace of mind.
