Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 303

Dong Ping's behavior can be said to be worse than a beast.But such a person was loved by the same shameless and vulgar Song Jiang, and finally became the so-called five tiger generals of the Liangshan bandits.

It is precisely because Ximenqing knows that the "Two Gun General" Dong Ping is a scum and scum, so Ximenqing has not been treated like Zhang Mengfang, Zhang Qing and other soldiers and horses. Ping became friends.

After Ximen Qing knew that the magistrate Cheng Wanli was here, sooner or later he would have a conflict with that despicable Dong Ping.Not for anything else, just because the daughter of the legendary magistrate Cheng Wanli was very beautiful.How could the official Ximen Qing let him fall into Dong Ping's jaws?

I heard that after Dongping Mansion changed its magistrate, Ximen Qing called Qiao Yun, who had just returned to Yanggu from Tangyin County, and asked him to put more eyeliners in the imperial army of Dongping Mansion to secretly monitor Dong Ping's actions. .

Brother Qiao Yun's father was also an archer of the Imperial Army in Dongping Mansion of Yunzhou, and he was quite popular in the army.Now that the old man Qiao was in a strong body, it was time for him to go to the Forbidden Army Barracks in Dongping Mansion to take a look at the old brothers and apprentices from back then.

In addition to monitoring Dong Ping, Ximen Qing also asked Qiao Yun to arrange someone to watch Dong Ping's general, Yu Baosi, who was a robber.

Ever since Ximen Qing knew that the "Danger God" Yu Baosi, a bandit who was used to betraying his comrades, joined Dong Ping's army, he was secretly happy and was always happy to see the results.Because Ximen Qing believes that with the nature of "pig teammate" Yu Baosi, one day he will entrap his immediate boss "Two Guns" Dong Ping.

As for Yu Bao Sihui selling Dong Ping's bird man to Song Jiang in Liangshanbo, or to my Ximen official in Yanggu County, it depends on what immoral things Dong Ping and that bird man will do next.

4 Eighty chapters form a group to go north

Just as Ximen Qing was about to go to Dongping Mansion in person to pay a visit to Cheng Wanli, the new prefect, an urgent letter was sent back from Dengzhou Ximenzhong, asking Ximen Qing to go to Dengzhou for a while if he had something important to do.

That guy in Master Wang doesn't have a girl to marry, why is he calling me so anxiously?When the official Ximen Qing dropped the letter, he muttered something.

In fact, Ximenqing knew in his heart that Wang Shizhong, the magistrate of Dengzhou, was counting on making contributions in the joint Jin campaign against Liao Dynasty and winning Song Huizong's favor.He came to him in such a hurry and got angry, probably because he wanted to contact the Great Jin Kingdom in the north.

Fortunately, the goods have been prepared, and they can cross the sea and go north again.

Ximenqing immediately sent people to inform Hujiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang, Lu Junyi, Xin Zan and other brothers separately of the news that he was going north.Immediately afterwards, Ximen Qing rode to the horse ranch.

Borjijin? Alan, Ulun Zhurig and other Mongolians live in a few Mongolian tents specially built by Ximen Qing for them, surrounded by guards from the horse ranch. They live a very comfortable life.

These days, Ximen Qing also often comes to Borjijin Alan to play some interesting games with her between master and maid, hunter and little fox, which makes Borjijin Alan enjoy it.It's a pity that his talent is limited, and little Alan can't learn the unique skills of the eldest lady Hu Sanniang for a while.

Bo'er Jijin? Alan and Ulunzhurige were drinking tea and chatting in the camp when they saw Ximenqing open the felt curtain and walk in.

Seeing this, Ulun Zhurige got up and wanted to leave, but Ximen Qing stayed behind and told her that he had business matters to discuss.

Ximen Qing told the two that he would cross the sea and go north again in the near future to do business in the Great Jin Kingdom.So, do two things along the way.

One is that Ximenqing once promised Bor Jijin Alan that he would try his best to rescue the Mongols captured by the Jurchens in batches.Therefore, this time, Ximenqing will go to Huining City in the Great Jin Kingdom to buy more than ten Mongolian slaves from the Jurchen nobles.

However, Ximenqing didn't know those slaves, he didn't know which ones belonged to the Mongolian Qiyan tribe, and which ones were from other tribes or Khitan or Xi people.Therefore, Ximen Qing hoped to bring Ulun Zhurige with him, and let her identify the tribes of the Begging Yan Department for him.In addition, because the Jiao Ting brothers were traveling north with Ximenqing, Ulun Zhurige could also take care of the Jiao Ting brothers on the way.

It was a very serious matter, but the last words of the senior official Ximen Qing made Ulunzhurige blush, and Boer Jijin? Alan was also laughing non-stop. .

The officials of Ximen Qing cared so much for the members of the Mongolian Qiyan tribe and never forgot the promise they made that day. Both Borjijin?

Bo'er? Alan didn't forget to ask Ximen Qing, what is the second thing they need to do by the way?

Ximenqing told Borji Jin? Alan said that this time he would bring enough people to go north, so after arriving in the Kingdom of Jin, he could send troops to escort one of Alan's Mongolian entourage through Liaodong, over the Jinshan Mountain, and return to the place by the Onan River. The Mongolian begging tribe went to report to Alan's father and elder brother about Alan's recent situation, letting them know that Alan was safe and sound.Therefore, Alan needs to choose another entourage trusted by his father and brother to go north together.

Announcing safety was only the first goal of Ximenqing. Ximenqing also hoped that Alan would write a secret letter to his father Boer Jijin? The general trend.Now that the Jin army is at its strongest, there is no need for the Qiyan tribe to let more Mongolians bleed and die in order to maintain the crumbling Khitan regime in Liao.

Now that Alan is safe and sound, please take care of Bo'er? Tun Bi Nai doesn't need to think about raising troops for revenge, he just needs to concentrate on recuperating and accumulating strength.In the ensuing Liaojin War, maintaining neutrality and not helping each other is the safest strategy for the Mongolian tribes.

Even though he is thousands of miles away, he does not forget about the Mongolian tribe and plans the future for his father.The husband is so kind to Alan!After the father receives the letter, he must also like this son-in-law of the Song Dynasty very much!

Borji Jin? Alan, who was immersed in happiness, quickly wrote a secret letter to his father and handed it to Ximen Qing.And also selected a middle-aged man named Agula from the remaining followers, and let him take the responsibility of returning to the grassland north.

Alan told Ximenqing that Agula means mountain in Mongolian, and he is the horse herdsman next to his father Tunbinai, who has won his father's trust and is the most suitable for sending letters to the north.

When Ximen Qing met Agula, he really lived up to his name, he was a taciturn and stable person like a mountain.Ximen Qing nodded, feeling relieved.

This Agula came to the territory of Song Dynasty not long ago, and he can only speak a few simple Chinese.But Ximen Qing didn't worry about it.Ever since Huangfu Duan and Duan Jingzhu, who were proficient in the languages ​​of several countries and ethnic groups, came to Ximenbao, Ximen Qing had taught many of their subordinates to speak Khitan and Jurchen.There are also some subordinates who have learned Mongolian conversation, and it is not difficult to communicate with this Agula.

Of course, when it comes to language learning, who is better than official Ximen Qing?Not only did he learn the Khitan dialect and Jurchen dialect from Huangfu Duan and Duan Jingzhu, but the talented Ximen Qing also learned Mongolian from the game with Bor Jijin Alan!

So, interest is the best teacher!

The departure is imminent, and it will take at least two or three months to go back and forth.Seeing that he would not be able to be with Alan for several months, Ximenqing learned Mongolian secret language with Alan in the tent after finishing his business.

……

Hujiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang received the notification from Ximen Qing, and two days later they organized a caravan to come to Ximen Fort to meet Ximen Qing.

Hu Cheng of Hujiazhuang sent his capable general, Hu Yong, to lead a hundred soldiers to escort the caravan northward.How could Zhu Biao from Zhujiazhuang miss this opportunity to go north to open his eyes? He personally led a hundred troops to escort the caravan.

Ximen Qing waited until after Zhu Biao and Hu Yong, led Jiao Ting, Ulunzhurige, Agula and others, commanded [-] cavalry, escorted the caravan to leave Yanggu County, and headed for Yanzhou.

Now Ximen Fort has another powerful general Wang Jin sitting in command, he and Luan Tingyu are both wise and brave, and have undue courage.Coupled with the fact that Hu Sanniang and Ximenxin have their own strengths, Ximenbao can be said to be as solid as gold.Therefore, Ximenqing can travel far with more confidence, and use his knowledge beyond others to continue to develop his foundation and expand his influence.

When the joint caravan of the three manors came to Duyingshan in Yanzhou, the "prodigal son" Yanqing was also ordered by Lu Junyi to catch up with Ximen Qing's team with two supervisors and a dozen servants.

"Jiuwenlong" Shi Jin had long said that he would go north with Brother Ximenqing to see it.Therefore, after he handed over the manor to Zhu Wu to take care of it, he also brought fifty riders to join Ximen Qing's team, guarding the caravan along the way.

Ximenqing's caravan was so powerful that it headed straight for Dengzhou.

Chapter 481 The Sweet Potato Ximen Celebrates

Ximenqing organized a group to go north this time, and there were more than [-] private soldiers guarding the caravan. The entire caravan reached a scale of thousands of people, so it was inevitable to attract attention on the road.Whether it is the government along the way, or the thieves and robbers lurking on the mountains, they all know that a large caravan is coming from Yunzhou.

When entering the territory of Qingzhou, Lu Zhishen, the "flower monk" of Erlong Mountain, quietly came to Taohuazhuang, where he met Ximen Qing, Shi Jin and others.After everyone had a feast and heard Ximenqing talk about going north to the Kingdom of Jin to do business, Lu Zhishen also gave Ximenqing and Shi Jin a large bag of gold, and asked the two brothers to help Erlongshan buy some horses after they went to Liaodong.

Ximen Qing didn't want to take Lu Zhishen's gold at first, and told him that after he returned from the Kingdom of Jin this time, he could send two hundred war horses from Erlong Mountain.But Lu Zhishen insisted on paying for it himself, and complained to Brother Ximenqing for not being happy with his big eyes like copper bells.In desperation, Ximenqing had no choice but to ask Shi Jin to accept Lu Zhishen's gold and go to the Kingdom of Jin to buy a good horse for him.

After the discussion between several people, Master Lu Zhishen was invited by Ximen Qing's father-in-law Liu Taigong to have tea and talk.

Thanks to Lu Zhishen's prestige, Peach Blossom Village was able to safely support the arrival of Ximen Qing under the rule of the two murderous demon kings Li Zhong and Zhou Tong in Peach Blossom Mountain.Therefore, Liu Taigong has never forgotten Lu Zhishen's kindness.

On weekdays, Taigong Liu often secretly sent some food and property to Erlongshan to express his feelings.Lu Zhishen was a straight-forward and forthright person, and after Liu Taigong explained his words, he did not reject Liu Taigong's kindness.

Therefore, in this Qingzhou, Taohuazhuang under Liu Taigong's rule has always been closely linked with Lu Zhishen's Erlongshan, and Lu Zhishen's Erlongshan secretly guards Taohuazhuang.Ximen Qing knew all of this well, and knew that his father-in-law was a powerful character who was good at taking advantage of the situation, so he dared to entrust the stronghold of Qingzhou to his father-in-law with confidence.

Lu Zhishen stayed in Taohuazhuang for one night, and quietly returned to Erlong Mountain. Ximen Qing also said goodbye to Liu Taigong and Ling Zhen brothers, and continued on the road with the caravan, heading for Dengzhou.

After meeting Murong Yanda, Qin Ming, Huang Xin and others in Qingzhou, Ximenqing met Zhao Mingcheng, Li Qingzhao and his wife again in Laizhou.At this time, Li Qingzhao had also come to Laizhou from Qingzhou Guilaitang to accompany her husband Zhao Mingcheng, and the two happily received Ximen Qing in Laizhou.

From Li Qingzhao's mouth, Ximen Qing learned that he missed the meeting with Qin Hui.Li Qingzhao's cousin-in-law, Qin Hui, was admitted as a professor in Mizhou and passed the examination of Ci and Mao Ke, and has been transferred to Taixue Xuezheng.

Just over ten days ago, after Qin Hui handed over the duties in Mizhou, he brought his wife Wang Ya to Laizhou from Mizhou to meet Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qing.At this time, Qin Hui had already rushed to Bianliang, Tokyo to take up his post, and missed with Ximen Qing and others on the way.

Has Qin Hui finally entered the officialdom in Bianliang, Tokyo?After a while, he was quite accomplished in calligraphy, and with a good reputation as an official, he would be concerned and loved by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. On the basis of Zhao Ji's "thin gold style" font, Song style characters that are widely used in later generations were created, right?

Regarding Qin Hui, Ximenqing believes that he should not be disturbed too much at this time, so as not to change his historical trajectory.Now let Qin Hui make his due contribution in history.When the Jin army went south and Qin Hui was captured by the Jin army to the north because of his resolute resistance to the gold, it would not be too late to intervene in his fate.

Similarly for Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao, Ximenqing only kept in touch with them, but did not change their historical destiny.Let's see what Zhao Mingcheng and Zhao Paopao are planning when Song and Jin start the war!

As the magistrate of Laizhou, which is close to Dengzhou, and the son of the former minister of the prime minister, Zhao Mingcheng, who has good hands and eyes, naturally knows that Ximenqing's trip to the north is not just for business.Although he had no intention of competing with Wang Shizhong, and was rushing to fight the muddy waters of the Jin Faliao, but he was even more enthusiastic about Ximen Qing.

Like Dengzhou, Laizhou is surrounded by mountains and seas, and there are many bandits and pirates, as well as salt lords who sell private salt. Keeping the place safe is also a headache for Zhao Mingcheng, the prefect.
