After the whole family received Ximenqing's heartfelt gift, they all smiled.

After giving the gift, Ximen Qing did another thing, which made Hu Sanniang very satisfied.

Although Ximenqing took Wang Chongyang as his apprentice and taught him many spear and fist skills along the way, but when he went north to Liaodong after the year, Ximenqing did not intend to take him with him.

Ximenqing decided to keep Xiao Wang Chongyang in Ximenbao, Yanggu County, and receive education with his own children.

After all, Wang Chongyang is only ten years old, so he still needs someone to take care of him.Therefore, Ximenqing decided to let Xiao Wang Chongyang worship his wife Hu Sanniang as his godmother, and then worship himself as his adoptive father.

From now on, in Ximen Fort, the godmother Hu Sanniang will take care of her adopted son Wang Chongyang.

What Hu Sanniang was delighted with was not that she had a smart, well-behaved adopted son capable of both literature and martial arts, but that Ximenqing had many wives, but he asked his only disciple to worship Hu Sanniang as his godmother, which showed that Hu Sanniang was Ximen Qing's official wife. The status will never be shaken.

Ever since she learned that Ximenqing married the princess of Mongolia and the princess of Jin, Hu Sanniang kept silent, but secretly competed with those two ladies in her heart.

How could Hu Sanniang not understand what Ximen Qing expressed through his young disciple Wang Chongyang?

This friend is still as lovable as on Dulonggang!

Chapter 749 Sending Buddha to the West

After Ximenqing returned to Ximenbao, the rare horse let go of Nanshan, ignoring vulgar things, staying at home every day with a few children to play and play, and teaching them the art of civil and martial arts.

As descendants of the traverser Ximen Qing, these children must of course be different.

Ximenqing asked the painters Wang Yi and Zhang Zeduan to draw a concise world map according to their own memories, and then printed it out with their own printing shop, and gave each of the children a copy as a gift.

What Ximen Qing taught to Ximen Song and others was knowledge beyond this era, such as world geography and Arabic numerals.

Ximenqing hopes that these children will be able to learn a lot when they grow up in the future, and pass on the spirit of "opening your eyes to see the world" from generation to generation.

At this time in Ximen Fort, Hu Sanniang and Wang Jin are training the army horses of Ximen Fort;

Luan Tingyu trained Musketeers in Liangshanbo;

Tang Long and Ling Zhen are continuing to build armor and firearms;

Jiang Zhong and Duan Jing lived in Cangzhou to train military horses and spy on the intelligence of Yanjing in the Liao Kingdom;

Hong Zhen trained his horses in Dulonggang;

Xu Wen and others trained the navy in Dengzhou to destroy the pirates;

Huangfuduan is cultivating a large number of war horses to supply the armies;

Shi Yong, Jiang Jing and others are consolidating and expanding the territory of Posu Road.

Lu Xiaoyi and Qiao Yun had set up secret operations in Hebei and Shandong, and after densely spreading the intelligence network, they infiltrated into Henan, Hedong, Huainan, Jiangnan and other places according to Ximenqing's plan.

All the brothers and sisters are working step by step, performing their duties and completing their tasks.

As for various businesses, there are also managers such as Ximen Fu and Ximen Zhong who are taking care of Ximen Qing.

Family matters are presided over by his younger sister Ximen Xin, his wife Hu Sanniang, Liu Xiuxiang and others, so Ximen Qing doesn't need to worry too much.

Shi Jin of Yanzhou's Yingying Villa was given new responsibilities by Ximenqing.

According to Ximenqing's distribution, Shi Jin will lead Zhu Wu and the three to subdue the large and small cottages along the way from Shandong to Jingzhao Mansion in Guanzhong, and open up and control the commercial route from Guanzhong to Shandong.

Moreover, Ximenqing asked Shi Jin and the others to take advantage of their familiarity with the conditions in the Guanzhong area and send people to gradually infiltrate Shaanxi Fifth Road.

Ximenqing's request was to place Shi Jin's subordinates at least in the important cities of Shaanxi Fifth Road, such as Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion, Yan'an Mansion, and Weizhou City in the early stage.

When Shi Jin asked Ximen Qing, "Flower Monk" Lu Zhishen's elder brother was from Kansai, he was familiar with Weizhou and Yan'an Mansion, etc., if he wanted to cooperate with him this time, Ximen Qing shook his head, saying that Master Lu had another opportunity of his own, This is not the time to be involved in this matter.

"Jiuwenlong" Shi Jin has always been convinced of Ximen Qing, since Ximen Qing's elder brother said that there is no need to invite Lu Zhishen's elder brother, Shi Jin didn't ask any more questions, and went back to Yanzhou to discuss secretly with Zhu Wu.

Although Shi Jin left, he reminded Ximen Qing.It's time to show Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi his ability to predict things like a god.

Ximen Qing wrote a letter to Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi, informing them plainly that the Jin-Liao War was about to begin, and that next year the Great Song Dynasty would attack Liao.

The Northern Expeditionary Army of the Great Song Dynasty will be led by Taiwei Tong Guan without accident, and all the famous generals of the Western Army will go out with him.

This also means that Lu Zhishen's benefactor, Zhongshidao, and Zhongshizhong's brothers will all come to the front line in Hebei.

In the letter, Ximenqing told Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi that they wanted to serve the country and strive for fame and fortune, and that next year they could lead their troops to join the small-champ manager and teacher.

After the letter was written, Ximenqing arranged for someone close to him to send it to Erlongshan.

For the bandits headed by Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi in Erlong Mountain, Ximen Qing had no intention of subduing them for the time being.

Because Erlong Mountain is relatively powerful, both Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi are well-known figures in the world, and Lu Zhishen is even more capable.

Historically, after the bandits of Erlong Mountain went to Liangshan, it was also a relatively independent mountain, so Song Jiang had to speak carefully with Lu Zhishen, respectfully calling him a master.

Ximen Qing was unwilling to join such an independent mountain in his team at this time.Therefore, he only maintained a good friendship with Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi, but he did not pull them into his forces.

What's more, the "green-faced beast" Yang Zhi is a descendant of the general of the Yang family. He has always had illusions about the Song court, thinking of returning to the imperial court and making contributions at the border.

In view of Yang Zhi's mentality and Ximen Qing's plan to seize the Great Song Dynasty in the future, he really dare not let Yang Zhi know the secret of Ximen Fort at this time.

Lu Zhishen also has a friendship with the Western Army's way of being a teacher. Ximen Qing may fight with the Western Army in the future, and he dare not keep Lu Zhishen by his side.

Therefore, joining the Liao army of the Great Song Dynasty and going to the north to fight against the Khitans and Jurchens was the future that Ximen Qing had set for Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi.

Whether it is Yang Zhi's dream of becoming an official, or Lu Zhishen's old relationship with his old boss, they all need to be ended in the battle of the Western Army's northern expedition to Liao.

If Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and the others were unlucky and died in battle under the city of Yanjing, Ximen Qing would of course shed a few tears for them and accept the result calmly.

On the contrary, if Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi could survive the defeat, their ideals would be shattered.At that time, Ximen Qing will help out again, and it will be a good thing to have the two of them under his command.

It was precisely because Ximen Qing had such an idea in his heart that Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi were fighting hard at Erlong Mountain, waiting for the opportunity to return to the army.

Ximen Qing pointed out a "clear way" to Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi, and taught them how to join the army.I believe that even if Ximen Qing is not in Yanggu County or Qingzhou next year, the bandits in Erlong Mountain will know how to contact the teacher.

Ximenqing sent the Buddha to the west, and wrote down the timing of Erlongshan's joining the army in the letter.A few days later, the confidants he sent sent the secret letter to Baozhu Temple in Erlong Mountain.

This day happened to be the [-]th New Year's Eve of the twelfth lunar month, and pigs and sheep were also slaughtered on Erlong Mountain to celebrate the approaching New Year.

After Yang Zhi received Ximen Qing's secret letter, he rewarded Ximen Qing's messenger heavily, and then read the contents of the letter to Lu Zhishen.

After reading the secret letter, Yang Zhi was overjoyed, and said with a deep smile to Lu Zhi: "Brother, it is said that brother Ximenqing is a master of planning, if it is true this time, you and my brother will have a good chance to stand out and get rid of the charges." ! That little businessman is your old master, brother, and the future of our brothers in this mountain rests on you, brother."

Lu Zhishen also heaved a long sigh, and said to Yang Zhi: "The Sa family was valued by the old manager of the Yan'an mansion back then, so I asked the Sa family to go to the mansion of the manager of the small family to be his confidant and work for him.

The Sa family went to Weizhou City, and Mr. Xiaozhong's manager has always treated the Sa family well, and the Sa family also remembers the kindness of the two ministers.

The Sa family was filled with righteous indignation for a moment, and after beating Zhen Guanxi to death with three punches, he knew that Mr. Xiaozhong's manager would definitely remember the old relationship and try to exonerate me from the crime.
