Huan Rong

More than [-] cattle and sheep rushed back to the camp, and there was a lot of movement.

The government army brought by Liu Laozhi was in a hurry, and one of them was a little careless, which almost angered the leading bull and caused a riot in the herd.

It took nearly two hours to walk for a distance of fifteen miles.

When the team arrived at the gate of Daying, the men who drove the cattle and sheep could not help but burst into tears. It was not easy, it was not easy!Turning his head to look at the servants of the Qin family, he couldn't help feeling admiration.

Compared with this skill of throwing a whip, it is really far behind others, and it needs to be studied seriously!

Seeing the huge herd, all the soldiers guarding the camp were stunned on the spot.

Everyone really didn't understand that General Liu and Captain Huan left the camp for two hours, and they rushed back more than [-] cattle and sheep?Did they rob some barbarian caravan, or the Xianbei tribe?

Doubt followed by joy.

So many cattle and sheep came back, not only as military rations but also as rewards, and they could have broth to drink, how could everyone not like it.

"Open the gate!"

Liu Laozhi stepped forward immediately, his dark face was full of joy.

The weather was hot, and the Northern Expeditionary Army was tanned a lot, such as Huan Da Sima and Xi Tingshi were not immune.There are very few people who can't get tanned like Huan Rong, which can be called a wonder in the army.

"promise!"

The soldiers didn't dare to delay, so they quickly moved out of their positions, and then several infantry moved away from their horses and opened the gate of the camp.

baa—

moo—

The government army flicked their long whips, and the cattle and sheep were driven into long rows and entered the camp one after another.

When Deng Xia and Zhu Xu heard the news, they rushed over with suspicion. When they saw the herds crowded inside and outside the camp, they couldn't help opening their mouths wide in surprise.

"Dao Jian, why are there so many cattle and sheep?" Deng Xia spoke first.

Liu Laozhi was riding on the horse and didn't want to pay attention to them at all, especially Deng Xia. He remembered clearly what happened in front of the army tent last time.It's not that the reason is still there, I really want to say: Are we familiar?Can the words match?

Seeing that his expression was wrong, showing a hint of impatience, Zhu Xu pulled Deng Xia, and silently moved out of the way.

The other party was quite savvy, Liu Laozhi didn't squint any more, and said: "The caravan sent by Captain Huan is higher than the military rations bought at the market price."

There are several meanings in this sentence, which can be understood without thinking deeply.

First, tell Deng Xia and Zhu Xu that Huan Rong found the caravan, and Huan Rong bought the cattle and sheep. With the relationship between the two of them and Captain Huan, there is no need to worry about it 100%.

Second, these cattle and sheep are higher than the market price. If you want to exchange gold and silk cloth, you must prepare in advance.

I can't get friendship, and I don't want to pay money, so I can only stand aside and look at it, and I can't even get a wool.

grab?

Try it, the spear in Mr. Liu's hand is not a vegetarian!

Liu Lao didn't talk much, but he continued to cut and beat, which made Deng Xia and Zhu Xu feel angry, his face was flushed red, and he thought to himself, as the generals of the forward army, should they be so clearly distinguished?On the battlefield, but together desperately!

It's a pity that even if the two of them were angry, Liu Laozhi still went his own way.

Having been together for several months, I have found out the temperament of the two of them. It is better to expect the sun to rise from the west than to expect them to show their camaraderie.

Envious of the military exploits of the grain transportation team, he used his position to crowd out Huan Rong, and even ordered someone to shoot the goshawk. Such a narrow-minded and fighting man, even if he couldn't avoid it, he definitely couldn't make friends with him.

Who knew if he would suddenly turn his back on him and stab himself in the back?

Liu Laozhi opened the way ahead, fending off Deng Xia and Zhu Xu's prying with a few words, blocking their chance to ask for it.

Huan Rong walked through the gate of the camp, saw the two men standing on one side with livid faces, and subconsciously looked at Liu Laozhi, but saw General Liu shook his head, expressing clearly, ignore them, I will take care of things if I have something to do!

Perhaps the military rations came too timely, or perhaps because he recognized Qin Jing, Liu Jianzhi showed a little more respect to Huan Rong, so as not to make outsiders suspicious, but as the person involved, Huan Rong did understand.

Not to mention Liu Laozhi's purpose, as far as it is concerned, it should be considered a good thing.

Huan Rong kicked the horse's belly lightly, bowed his hands to the two on the horse's back, and quickly caught up with Liu Laozhi without saying a word.

Qin Jing and his party followed the team.

In order to avoid trouble, Qin Jing did not reveal his identity, the camp only knew that the hundred or ten people were business travelers, and for the sake of Xiaowei Huan, he ventured across the prefectures and counties to send these cattle and sheep.

Although it is higher than the market price, it is not as usual now. The price of grain in Yecheng has doubled, let alone these fat and strong livestock.

"Please!"

With salt servants, there is no need to worry about building the corral.Leaving the master book and counselors to count the number, Liu Laozhi got off his horse and invited Qin Jing into the account.

"General Liu is polite."

Qin Jing clasped his fists in return, walked generously into the tent, and sat opposite Liu Laozhi.

Without any hesitation, Huan Rong sat on Qin Jing's right side.

The corners of General Liu's eyes twitched, recalling the scene he had seen before, knowing that the two of them would be irreversible, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"General Liu," Qin Jing spoke first, seemingly in a good mood, "According to the previous agreement, the transaction will be [-]% lower than the market price. General Liu can dispose of the excess."

"Qin Lang is righteous, and he really believes in people." Liu Laozhi said.

"Jing isn't just donating money, but doing business with real money. The general doesn't need to do that." Qin Jing laughed.

"That's wrong." Liu Laozhi shook his head and said seriously, "I'm not going to lie to Mr. Qin Lang, the army has been stationed in Fangtou for more than half a month, the waterways will be blocked, and the food roads may be cut off. Although there is food in reserve, it won't last for a long time. Thanks to Captain Huan's adequate preparations, a certain subordinate did not run out of food. Now relying on Qin Langjun's high righteousness, he has obtained more than ten thousand cattle and sheep, and relieved our urgent needs. Qin Langjun deserves this thank you!"

While speaking, Liu Laozhi looked solemn, and then saluted Qin Jing.

"The lieutenant general of the prison on behalf of the battalion thanks Qin Langjun!"

Liu Laozhi is sincere and sincere, without any falsehood.It wasn't Qin Jing who stopped him, or even wanted to salute.

"It doesn't have to be the general."

Qin Jing leaned forward to return the salute, supporting Liu Laozhi's shoulders so that he wouldn't really pause.

Liu Laozhi tried twice, but the hands on his shoulders did not move at all. After being astonished, he admired him even more in his heart. Qin's son is generous, generous and talented, and he can be called a hero of the world!

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Huan Rong never said a word, but his mind was racing, thinking not about the allocation of cattle and sheep, but about the horses that had been galloping before.

He thought it was his own fault and angered the horse, so he almost fell off the horse's back.But Qin Jing checked the horse and told him with certainty that someone had tampered with the saddle, and whoever rode the horse would be at risk of falling off.

Huan Rong shuddered when he thought of the wooden spurs he had taken from the saddle.

There are countless war horses in the barracks, no matter the generals or cavalry, unless they die in battle, they will ride one by one until the end of the war.

Huan Rong's war horse was a gift from Xi Min. It is said to be a descendant of the Dawan horse introduced from the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty. It gallops like the wind and sweats like blood.Because it is too precious, it is extremely difficult for outsiders to get a hold of it because it is fed and cared for by a special person.

Huan Rong does not want to believe that his subordinates betrayed him, but the facts are in front of him, and he cannot be allowed to be an ostrich.

"Brother Rong?"

Heart anxious, Qin Jing's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Huan Rong settled down, raised his head, and found that the two had finished their conversation, and they both looked at him suspiciously.

"What is Brother Rong thinking about?" Liu Jianzhi asked, "Xuan Min called twice but there was no response."

Xuanmin?

Is this familiar speed too fast?

Huan Rong raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Jing.

The latter raised the corners of his mouth slightly, making him look even more handsome.

"It's all right." Huan Rong paused and said, "I'm just thinking about the saddle."

"Brother Rong, is there anyone who doubts?"

"It's hard to confirm." Huan Rong hesitated for a moment, then said, "We need to investigate carefully before we can draw a conclusion."

Seeing Huan Rong's expression, Liu Jianzhi hesitated to speak.

According to his habit, there is no need to interrogate, all the servants who are in charge of the horses are arrested, and they are whipped, and nothing can be asked.But I think Huan Rong's character, [-]% will not do this.

Liu Jianzhi couldn't help frowning.

Brother Rong is too merciful and merciless, which is definitely not a good thing for him to enter the court in the future.

Qin Jing didn't make a sound, took a sip of lukewarm tea soup, glanced over the ice basin in the corner, and fixed on Huan Rong.

Sensing his gaze, Huan Rong moved uncomfortably, the roots of his ears were slightly red, and after a while, even his neck was red.

Seeing this reaction, Liu Laozhi looked puzzled, could it be because of the hot weather?

Qin Jing covered the smile marks on her lips with a teacup, her black eyes flickered twice and became deeper.

Huan Rong blushed even more.

"General, the number of cattle and sheep has been counted."

Counselor Cao Yan walked into the army tent, and after seeing the ceremony, he presented the records of cattle and sheep.

"According to the general's order, [-] heads were selected and sent to Mr. Xi Shi. I will ask the general to show you how to deal with the rest."

"Not in a hurry." Liu Laozhi looked at the book, then handed it to Huan Rong, and said, "What do you mean by Brother Rong?"

"As far as I can see, the cattle and sheep will not move for the time being, and they will be distributed and slaughtered after the price is fully settled."

"This statement is reasonable, but I was negligent." Liu Jianzhi nodded, and ordered Cao Yan to arrange someone to take care of the cattle and sheep, and no one was allowed to take them away without his permission.

The best way to do business is to pay for both money and goods.

Qin Jing took the risk to cross the state and counties, and generously reduced the price, and wanted to receive the goods without paying. There is really no such reason.

What's more, you don't have to pay your own money, and you can still get the gold and silk equally. Similar good things don't happen all the time, so they must be resolved quickly, so as not to arouse suspicion from others.

As for Hang Huan Da Sima... He regarded Xi Yin as the Duke of Ming, and he and Huan Da Sima belonged to two camps.

Liu Laozhi and Huan Rong looked at each other and smiled, tacitly waiting for the gold and silver to arrive.

Qin Jing raised her eyebrows, considered what Huan Rong said, and decided to stay in Fangtou for two more days, at least until the matter of the saddle was clarified.If Huan Rong can't bear it, he can do it for him.

At the same time, Sima Huan was sitting in the military tent, facing the calm and composed envoy Xi Ting, he was so angry that he ground his molars in anger.

"Da Sima is a man of great promise, and everyone in the court knows it." Xi Yin said slowly, and his words were like sharp knives, piercing Huan Wen's heart. I know."

"How would you like?"

"It's not what I want." Xi Yin's speech rate has not changed, but what he said is really annoying, "A few days ago, Da Sima promised in front of the generals that he would definitely supplement the forward army. Now is the right time. The so-called A promise is a thousand pieces of gold, what do you think Da Sima wants?"

"……it is good!"

At this point, Sima Huan has only one choice, to pay!

Everyone made a promise, in order to protect Huanxi and appease the morale of the army, Huan Wen made the promise in front of everyone.If he contradicts what he says, what reputation is there for him to speak of?

Xi Chao's face was worried, and he wanted to speak up several times, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity.He could only watch helplessly as Sima Huan was forced to a corner and had to take out the golden silk cloth to buy rations for the forward right army.

"Da Sima has made great promises, and he has the style of a celebrity, so I admire him!"

It was obviously a compliment, but the tone and expression were so sincere, it was still awkward to Huan Wen's ears.Thinking carefully about the hints behind it, Sima Huan was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot.

The envoy Xiji accepted it as soon as he saw it was good. Unintentionally, he really pushed Huan Wen into a hurry, got all the gold and silk cloth, and left immediately.

When Xi Yin's back disappeared, Sima Huan finally couldn't hold back, drew out his sword, and slashed hard on the table.

"Xi Fanghui, one day, one day!"

A corner of the low table was missing, and the cut wood rolled to the ground, making a dull sound.

Sima Huan was holding a sharp sword, panting heavily, his face was full of anger.

Since when did things go wrong for him?

The plan to seize the Beifu army has failed, and the chances of forcing the emperor to sit in Zen are less than half;

The Northern Expedition went smoothly, but was stuck in Fangtou because of the army rations;

The generation of Xi Yin and Yuan Zhen were still in my hands a year ago, but now they have gradually lost control, and turned to fight against me.

He was used to controlling everything, and suddenly lost it, which made him feel strange and even a little panicked.

Huan Wen suppressed his anger, sat behind the table, leaned on the sword with one hand, the tip of the sword penetrated two inches into the ground, which showed the depth of his anger.

Xi Chao is good at watching people, he vaguely guessed what Huan Wen was thinking, and also fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a young and handsome face flashed through his mind, and Xi Chao was startled. His first reaction was that it was impossible. After thinking about it carefully, he found that there were traces in everything. His face changed slightly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Jing Xing?" Came Huan Da Sima's voice, the voice was shockingly low, "But what did you remember?"

"Servant," Xi Chao hesitated for a moment, finally took a deep breath, and said, "I'm thinking about the fifth son."

Huan Wen didn't make a sound, Xi Chao raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Da Sima still remembers that the Fifth Young Master has the appearance of a nobleman?"

"The appearance of a nobleman?"

Huan Wen chewed these four words, listening to Xi Chao list the questions one by one, his expression gradually changed.

"In the past, the fifth son served as the magistrate of Yandu County. He eradicated the powerful and gathered the refugees. He was so popular that all the assassins he sent missed."

"The Lord of the family once said that the fifth son is a great talent, and the fifth son is the only one among the great masters."

"The matter of Jingkou, the servant once sent someone to investigate carefully. Before the queen mother issued the Yi decree, Princess Nankang entered Taicheng. She got the Yi decree and the imperial decree to keep her. The family master has not lost Jingkou, and is still in charge of the Beifu army."

"This time the Northern Expedition, the Lord of the family sent Liu Daojian to lead the army to meet the fifth son."

"Eldest son is demoted to the team leader, and instead, Liu Daojian is leading the forward general!"

The more Xi Chao said, the more frightened he was, sweat covered his forehead.

These piles seem to be unrelated to each other, but when they are integrated, Huan Rong's shadow can be seen everywhere!

Especially regarding the matter of Jingkou and the Beifu army, the envoy Xi Ci and Princess Nankang were not familiar at all, so it was not because someone spread the word, how did Princess Nankang enter Taicheng, and how did she persuade the Queen Mother to make such an edict?

"The attitudes of the Lord Jia and Yuan Shijun have changed so quickly, the servant has doubts for a long time, and the assassin Huan..."

"Young son?"

"Yes." Xi Chao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "A few days ago, Mr. Huan invited the five sons to enter the account to talk, and then sent out twenty pieces."

Xi Chao wiped off his cold sweat, hoping that his worries were unfounded.Otherwise, with Huan Rong's current strength, it might not be easy for Da Sima to take action again.

"Jingxing."

"The servant is here."

"Send someone to find out who it is that brought the cattle and sheep." Sima Huan calmed down, realizing that his son was no longer Wuxia Ameng, and his attitude became cautious, "Also, let Deng Xia come to see me."

"promise!"

Xi Chao bowed his head to promise, waited for a while, and got up and walked out of the tent when he didn't see any more orders.

Looking back inside the tent, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

The matter of the military order could not be thoroughly investigated, and Da Sima finally had a grudge in his heart and no longer trusted himself wholeheartedly.

In the camp on the right side of the forward, Xi Min carried the golden silk cloth, and after handing over the number, he took away the agreed cattle and sheep.

Before getting on his horse, Xi Ting specially called Huan Rong to the front, and said earnestly: "After this time, Huan Yuanzi must be careful and vigilant. Anu needs to pay attention. You must wear your feet when you go out. If you go to the battlefield, don't worry about it." Rush forward, safety first!"

"promise!"

Huan Xi called Huan Rong a "slave", which is a derogatory term.Xi Yin called him "Anu", but it represented the love and protection of the elders.In fact, it is impossible to be called "A Nu" by Xi Ji if you are not a person who is really close to you.

If you don't understand the culture of Wei and Jin Dynasties, [-]% of you will be confused when you encounter such a title.

Xi Jishi was very disappointed with his eldest son, not because of his old wife, so he wanted to drive Xi Chao out of the house.As for Huan Rong, he became more and more fond of him, and even said, "Saving your life is the most important thing when you go to the battlefield, don't rush forward".

Liu Laozhi's hearing was so good that he accidentally heard half a sentence, so he didn't lose his composure on the spot.

As a supporter of the orthodoxy of the Jin Dynasty, Xi Yin often taught his children and grandchildren to serve the country with loyalty, and Ma Ge shrouded his body without fear.It's really wrong to say these words now!

Sending Xi Yin away, Huan Rong originally wanted to invite Qin Jing back to the camp, but unexpectedly, Huan Chong and Huan Huo came together, greeted each other, and directly brought out the gold, saying that they were willing to buy Qin Jing at a price [-]% higher than the market price. of cattle and sheep.

"Fifty percent?" Huan Rong blinked.

"Fifty percent." Huan Chong nodded with a smile.

Huan Rong looked at Huan Chong and Huan Huo suspiciously. Are the two uncles being too generous?

Huan Huo ignored it, his eyes sparkled when he saw the horses tied outside the tent.Huan Chong smiled kindly, put his hands together in front of his body, and laid out the gold, just waiting for Huan Rong to settle his head.

"How much does uncle want to change?"

"Not many." Huan Chong pointed out five fingers.

"Five hundred?" That's really not much.

"Five thousand."

Huan Rong almost fell over.

Five thousand is not much? !

"Don't worry about melons." Huan Chong said with a smile, "The army needs a lot of food, why not ask the merchants transporting sheep, if there is any surplus, they can bring them together."

"My nephew doesn't quite understand what my uncle said."

"A month ago, there was a fire in Hedong County. Many tribes of Qifu and Xianbei were destroyed, and all the cattle and sheep were looted." Huan Chong smiled, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, "More than ten thousand people were transported at a time. Cattle and sheep, looking at the Northland, there are only a handful of people with this strength."

Huan Rong didn't answer.

When dealing with people like Huan Chong, his head is not enough, and he is afraid that he will cause trouble for Qin Jing by saying the wrong thing.

"I don't know if Gua'er can recommend it on behalf of my uncle?" Huan Chong continued, "If not, it's okay, I still ask Gua'er for help with the five thousand cattle and sheep."

Huan Rong hesitated, Qin Jing suddenly walked out of the tent, walked up to Huan Chong, bowed his hands and saluted: "Xihe Qin, Qin Jing and Qin Xuanmin, have met Envoy Huan."

The smile on Huan Chong's face disappeared little by little.

The fourth son of the Qin family?

According to the information he got, he speculated that Huan Rong had contacts with Qin's Wubao, but he didn't expect that it would be Qin Jing!

After stroking the short beard under his jaw, Huan Chong felt sorry for his elder brother, abandoning the virtuous and talented son-in-law and supporting the incompetent and domineering son-in-law.

However, he also understood Huan Wen's scruples.

If Huan Rong's biological mother wasn't the princess of Jin Shi... Huan Chong shook his head, that's true, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to raise such an excellent child.

"Huan Chonghuan's youngest son, Lord Qin Lang is very polite."

When the two met for the first time, they chatted and laughed freely.

Huan Rong looked at his uncle, then at Qin Jing, and suddenly felt that compared to these ancient people who were full of black water and spoke nine twists and turns, he was really not enough. Under all kinds of comparisons, he was completely stupid and sweet.
