Uncle Guo

After returning from Yangzhou, Chang Qinghe almost went out to look for Liang Xuanchen without thinking, but it was Li Mingtang who held him back.

"Think long-term, I'm calling you grandpa, okay? Let's think long-term!"

Chang Qinghe could no longer reason, "How can we think long-term?"

"You are the commander-in-chief of Sanguan, you can't go to Anyuan Town to pick him up in person." Li Mingtang made a crucial point.

Chang Qinghe jumped up, and he was about to resign immediately.

Li Mingtang held him down, "You heard that I'm done. You first invite the imperial court, send envoys to visit, let alone redeem him, just for the sake of border stability and the restoration of diplomatic relations. I'll go out on this matter, you can't go... ..." Li Mingtang pressed him again, "You dress up as a guard and mix in the team, and drive my horse."

Not to mention driving a horse, Chang Qinghe would be happy to make him a cow or a horse.

"When we arrive in Anyuan, we will play by ear. If the negotiation fails, we will rob them by force. So you have to choose some capable people to follow our mission. There should not be too many people to avoid being exposed."

Chang Qinghe slapped the table, "I can allocate 3000 people."

"Three thousand!" Li Mingtang was about to faint, "Are you going to fight? Or start a war between the two countries! 500 people are only enough!"

"500 people are not enough to fight guerrillas, two thousand!"

"Eight hundred, no more, rush to break through, 800 people are enough."

"One thousand and five, to attack and break through must cooperate with the inside and outside, at least there must be a response."

Li Mingtang was upset, "You think you're negotiating business with me, and you're still bargaining?"

"I talk about things."

"You weren't like this before."

"I've always been like this."

Li Mingtang wanted to turn around and leave, but Chang Qinghe didn't leave him behind when he reached the door, he knew it was a fake, Chang Qinghe didn't like that.It has always been him who cannot do without Chang Qinghe, not Chang Qinghe who cannot do without him.But Li Mingtang couldn't really leave, he was afraid that Chang Qinghe would mess up, especially now that Chang Qinghe was becoming more and more powerful, and if he messed up, the consequences would be disastrous.

After the last bargaining, more than 1000 people were settled, which is not an integer, because almost everyone Chang Qinghe is well-known, and they are all indispensable. This is a confidant he cultivated by himself. The elite who did it.

The imperial court didn't take this mission seriously, and didn't expect Chang Qinghe to talk about it, but he went as a mission, and Li Mingtang, who volunteered to volunteer, gave a symbolic amount of money, and once he got the imperial edict And customs clearance documents, over there Chang Qinghe is already gearing up and waiting at Juyongguan.

Anyway, there is no need for the imperial court to contribute money and efforts, Chang Qinghe paid for it himself, and secretly followed a thousand-strong elite behind the envoys. If the negotiation fails, they will be robbed directly. It is impossible to exchange money for hostages, Suhebalu With insatiable greed, even mountains of gold and silver cannot be exchanged for Liang Xuanchen.

Li Mingtang was worried all the way, for fear that the Mongols would discover the more than 1000 people who followed him. More than 1000 people wanted to eat, drink, and scatter, although the vast grassland and desert

It is easy to swallow the traces of more than 1000 people, but no one can say what happens.

The north wind is like a knife, and winter is about to begin. Li Mingtang eats the wind and sand, and looks bitterly at Chang Qinghe, who is leading the horse. Let alone a man of iron and blood, after leaving the pass and coming here, he knows that the wind and snow are ruthless before the world, the sun and the moon, and people It was simply too small, too fragile.

At night, when he was burying pots and making meals in the leeward field, Li Mingtang ate dry food and drank cold water, squeezed to squat down beside Chang Qinghe, "It's not easy for brothers to come out this time, I have your reward, but I don't care about that." Some money, tell me, how do you want to reward me?"

"what do you want?"

"Why don't you sleep with me?" Li Mingtang said with a grin.

Chang Qinghe's complexion did not change, he chewed dry food as hard as a rock, "Your butt is itchy, don't you know how to find a stone to grind it?"

Li Mingtang gave a "tsk", "It's too much for you to dismiss me like this!"

"Did you sell your life for me, or did you sell your body for me?" Chang Qinghe said, got up, walked to a guard and squatted down, and then ate his dry food.

Everyone knew about Li Mingtang's thoughts. Everyone squinted at him with suppressed smiles, and they all felt that the Commander was magnanimous.

Of course, there are also people who think that although Li Mingtang is in a hurry, there will inevitably be one or two occasions in the long run. The Commander is lonely at night, and he is used by the way, as a pastime.Man!It's already amazing not to be close to a woman, but if you're not close to a man, you'll have to look three inches below the navel curiously.

Chang Qinghe was talking to the people around him. He didn't get close to his subordinates on weekdays. Except for giving money, he still gave money. The most important thing is that when this or that is in trouble, he can put all his strength to send charcoal in the snow, so the command of the brothers under him who are not harsh to this person makes the adults very obedient.At this moment, in order to hide from Li Mingtang, Chang Qinghe took the initiative to come over and gossip, several guards were blushing and laughing, not only afraid of offending Lord Chang, but also afraid of offending Lord Chang's confidant Li Qian.We all know that Master Chang disguised himself as a small soldier to mix with the envoy team this time, and he was going to save the officials.Speaking of the high official Mu who was in business, he was very famous among his confidantes. In the early years, Chang Qinghe's fortune was mainly supported by the high official Mu. Later, the two fell out for some reason. At the beginning, tit for tat robbed each other for business, and then the officials Mu were forced to go to the border to encounter accidents. Mr. Chang was righteous, not to mention spending money and effort, personally involved in danger, and wanted to get him out.

There's nothing to say about this friendship.

A guard saw that Li Mingtang was pitiful, so he squatted down and talked with him, "Mr. Li Qian, isn't that Mr. Mu very handsome?"

Li Mingtang curled his lips, "What's the use of being pretty, he's blind."

"Oh... blind man..." The guards had heard about it, and they felt that Li Mingtang was pitiful, he couldn't even compare to a blind man, thinking about how handsome and coquettish that Mu Daguan was.

While talking, someone suddenly shouted: "Who?"

I saw someone jumping down from the high slope and shouted a question in Mongolian. Although most of the troops on the Changqing River side were dressed as Mongolians, they were all fake Mongolians. They also had guides who could speak Mongolian. However, the soldiers were guilty of guilt. , have drawn their knives without thinking.

Dozens of shining sabers shone coldly under the moon, and the men were yelling loudly in Mongolian, and hand-to-hand combat was imminent.

At this moment, a woman yelled and cursed in a loud voice: "Chang Qinghe, you motherfucker, you scared me to death!"

Who else could be the current empress—Liang Guanjing.This queen empress has always been a restless master, she didn't fight well in the harem with the ladies of other palaces, she ran out every day, either disguised as a man to pretend to be a guard at the border, or ran suddenly in the snowy desert late at night Come out to scare people.

Chang Qinghe stepped forward from the team, he couldn't laugh or cry, "Who am I? It's really that my family doesn't know my family, so it's..."

Li Mingtang who was behind hurriedly rushed forward: "Dong Liuye, I really didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence, what a coincidence. We are our own people, so don't be nervous."

The fake Mongols behind Li Mingtang put down their weapons one after another, and the fake Mongols behind Liang Guanjing also put down their weapons.Maybe there isn't a single real Mongol here.

Liang Guanjing spat, "What a coincidence, why are you outside the customs? The border guards will go out privately and break into the customs. If they are captured, it may immediately lead to military chaos. Do you know the severity?"

As soon as the words fell, Chang Qinghe's soldiers drew their swords again, and the soldiers behind Liang Guanjing also drew their swords.

"Misunderstanding!" Chang Qinghe came up and pulled Liang Guanjing to a shelter to persuade him, "Brother Zhongjin, look, after you become a country, the people you brought don't look like they are going to go to Mongolia. , how to explain it?"

This is embarrassing. There are less than 20 people behind Liang Guanjing, with no goals and no names. It is really courageous to go deep into Mobei in such a reckless manner.She is not a brave and foolish person, it can be seen that this time she was forced to a dead end and had no rules.

In contrast, he was fully prepared, so Chang Qinghe told the whole story about him setting up an eyeliner next to Fengqi in Yangzhou, and also said that he invited the imperial court to go on an envoy, arranged an envoy group, and pretended to be mixed in the team After talking about it one by one, it was also reported that more than 1000 elites were brought out this time.After he finished speaking, he saw Liang Guanjing's face was ashamed, and he looked as if he was not as good as he was, so he quickly started to sarcasm, "Ouch... Ouch... I don't know why brother Zhongjin is here? This dignified queen of a country left the customs without authorization." If you are wandering in the north, if you are captured, it will be embarrassing..."

Liang Guanjing clasped his wrist with a smirk, "Since Mr. Chang is on an envoy mission, that's fine, we can go together."

"So you are also an envoy by order?" Chang Qinghe also had a smile on his face.

Liang Guanjing kicked him on the foot, Chang Qinghe suppressed a smile, "Well, well, together!"

The two teams thus merged.

After welcoming the empress into the carriage, Chang Qinghe also got into the carriage and reported some details of the trip. He presented the imperial decree and customs clearance documents to Liang Guanjing to have a look at them one by one.In order to flatter him, he even snatched the small charcoal-fired copper stove from Li Mingtang's hand, and offered it as if borrowing flowers to offer a Buddha, "Warm your hands, and please accept it, brother Zhongjin."

Liang Guanjing picked it up, and thought he was a good speaker, "Master Chang is really capable."

"My praise, my praise!"

"You mobilized so many troops to pretend to be envoys, and followed behind to leave the customs privately. If you trigger a war, you won't have enough heads to cut off!" Liang Guanjing threatened him.

The more Chang Qinghe thinks about it, the more ridiculous it becomes. Thousands of miles away from Mobei, there is someone he cares about, and Liang Guanjing ran out in such a reckless manner. Chang Qinghe remembers that not long after she gave birth to the prince, she also kidnapped the emperor at Yanmen Pass Concubine Chong ran out together.Was the Su family who was captured together with Liang Xuanchen so important to her?

The empress's name is more important than the empress's name, and her own life and death are more important.

When Chang Qinghe thought that she was Liang Xuanchen's younger sister, and thought of the two of them traveling thousands of miles together to save his sweetheart, Chang Qinghe felt infinite warmth, and even the tone of his speech changed under the joy in his heart, "I also thought about being alone like Brother Zhongjin Taking risks, going deep into the desert, if captured, I would rather die than submit, but I don't have the courage and courage of Brother Zhongjin..."

"Okay, okay, are you singing?" Liang Guanjing resisted the urge to slap him.

Skipping countless flattery, Chang Qinghe and Liang Guanjing analyzed the current situation in the Northland together. Now Mongolia is also quite complicated. To encourage Nari Song to turn against Suhe Baru, Chang Qinghe Diao's elite team used to help get rid of Suhe Baru and help Na Ri Song come to power.

Liang Guanjing said: "Su Hebalu, a martial artist, can't do much. You kill him and help Na Risong come to power. If I remember correctly, that kid is a descendant of the Jin family. His ambition and intelligence have grown. When he comes to power, he will suffer endless troubles in the future, is this the plan that Uncle Guo agreed with you?"

Chang Qinghe said: "The most important thing right now is to save the country and uncle, of course... and your Madam Su."
