Qin Xiao's heart was stunned, but he pretended not to understand and asked, "Big Brother Fat Fish, which court are you talking about?"

Fat Fish's lips moved slightly, but suddenly smiled: "I'm talking about the little court in the south."

"Little court?" Qin Xiao said, "Are you talking about Southern Xinjiang Murong?"

Fat fish nodded and said, "Yes."

"The King Murong of Jingnan is far away in southern Xinjiang. How did his tentacles reach Xiling?" Qin Xiao said in surprise: "Big Brother Fat Fish, it shouldn't be there."

Fat Fish said indifferently: "Everyone in the world knows that the King of Jingnan will turn against him, but the court has nothing to do with Murong. In recent years, the court has opened up the horse market in the north, which is actually showing goodwill to the Tusun people in the north, and at the same time. In order for the Tusun people to stay safe and guard their own. The barbarians of the grassland, if they are in a good year and full of cattle and sheep, they are really unwilling to go south. Their purpose of going south is never to occupy the land, but to rob the Tang Dynasty. That’s all."

"The silk, porcelain, tea and even medicinal materials of the Tang Dynasty are scarce for the Tusun people." Qin Xiao nodded: "Moreover, these goods are expensive in the grasslands, and ordinary herders can't use them."

"There are so many good things in Datang. Before the horse market was opened, they only had to rob." Fat fish said: "After the horse market is opened, they can exchange goods such as cow and sheep skins for what they want. This way, Naturally, there is no need to fight, so these years in the north have been considered peaceful. Although the new patriarch of the Durhu tribe claimed to be the son of heaven, he has expanded his strength in the grasslands and annexed many tribes in the past few years, but it will become a climate for a while. If it can't be done, it will take at least a few years to form a threat. He has no guts to go south to harass Datang."

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "If he really becomes a climate in the desert, he will definitely be a rival of Datang."

"The court does not have the energy to take care of him now." Fat Yu said, "I don't even have the energy to take care of Xiling. The Murong clan was not defeated by the court before he bowed his head and proclaimed his ministers, but made peace talks. All the preparations made by the court over the years, everyone knew it was In order to prepare for the Murong clan, the Murong clan is naturally clear."

"You mean that the Murong clan is afraid that the imperial court will actually send troops to conquer southern Xinjiang, so they have to pick up turmoil in Xiling, so that the imperial court's energy has to be transferred here?"

Fat Fish smiled and said: "That is not just to stir up the turmoil in Xiling. The Jingnan king is cunning and cunning, otherwise he will not be able to sit in Nanjiang, and even the court can't help him. Stirring the turmoil in Xiling is not just to attract the court. More importantly, it attracts the attention of the Wutuo people. Brother Nalusheng looked at Xiling, but he didn't have a chance to start. If the turmoil in Xiling starts and chaos, do you think Brother Nalusheng will miss this opportunity? "

"The Wutuo people entered the Xiling, and the Tang army naturally couldn't ignore it." Qin Xiao said, "Tang army has no time to worry about southern Xinjiang after leaving the pass."

Fat Yu nodded and said: "The King of Jingnan is very clear that Nanjiang and Datang are fighting against each other. It is a corner of the enemy and one country. The longer the time, the more fully prepared the court, the greater the threat that Nanjiang faces. Turbulence in other places consumes the power of the imperial court, and southern Xinjiang can survive."

Qin Xiao understood and nodded: "From this perspective, it is not impossible that Southern Xinjiang will stir up the turmoil in Xiling."

Fat Fish sighed, "No matter who is behind the scenes, Xiling must find out the truth quickly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Qin Xiao thought that although Xiling was under the control of the three gates and rich in resources, it was actually

However, the above is just a contest between the various forces. The three big gate lords can enjoy the glory and wealth in Xiling, not how strong their own forces are, it is nothing more than the checks and balances of the parties.

In the gap between Datang and Wu Tuo, it was like a piece of fat in the eyes of two tigers, no matter which side had enough strength to swallow this piece of fat, it was only that both sides had their own fears to keep the Xiling Gate Clan to survive.

When I returned to Fucheng, it was already late at night.

The convoy’s materials mainly consist of grain and weapons. The grain must be transported to the granary in the city. The granary is under the management of Yuwen’s family, but the weapons must be transported to the weapons depot under the jurisdiction of the Duhu Prefecture. The convoy can only be divided into two groups. Sending the weapon to the weapons depot, Qin Xiao took the rest to the granary.

"Wang Qi School!" Qin Xiao rode forward and heard the sound of footsteps behind him. He turned to look and saw Chen Zhitai running forward with a smile on his face.

He still carried two axes in his hand, naturally he found them later.

"Something?"

"The prince asked me to receive the silver, where should I get it?" Chen Zhitai asked.

Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this. When you turn around, you can inquire again. Since the eldest son has promised, of course he will not break his promise."

"I know I know." Chen Zhitai smiled and said: "I just inquired from them. It turns out that you are a riding school in Baihuying. Good deed, it is amazing. You are already a riding school at a young age. No wonder Kungfu is so good. , I’m not even your opponent. I’m surprised myself, and I’m not bad at it. Ordinary twenty or thirty people can’t get close to me. How can you beat me with a single blow? Now I understand, I lost at the Baihuying Riding School You’re not ashamed of him."

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Do you have other things?"

"This...!" Chen Zhitai hesitated, then said: "There is indeed a small matter to discuss with you."

"Let's talk about it." Qin Xiao said: "But the ugly thing is at the forefront. If you want money, I don't have it. If you want a woman, I don't have it. I don't have it myself."

"How can I be? What kind of person does Wang Qi School think of me?" Chen Zhitai followed Qin Xiao's mount, and said as he walked: "Actually, I am also an aspiring person. The beauty of money is really not too much in my heart. Wang Qi School, can you let me join the White Tiger Camp as a soldier?"

"You?" Qin Xiao said in surprise: "You want to be a soldier?"

Chen Zhitai looked back at the caravan behind and said, "They said that if they were in the white camp, ordinary soldiers would earn 50 taels of silver a month. If they did meritorious service, there would be great rewards...!" I felt like he was wrong. What happened? I looked up and saw that Wang Qizheng was looking at him with a strange look. His heart sank and thought that he really couldn't talk nonsense. This was to affect his career. He hey smiled and said: "Of course, silver is not a big deal, what matters is that after serving as a soldier, you can protect your family and your country."

Qin Xiao sighed: "The third son, you were the third master on the mountain yesterday, looting everywhere and harming the people. In just one day, you have become the one who wants to defend your family and the country?"

"Riding school, everyone makes mistakes." Chen Zhitai said without shame: "As long as I can make corrections, I am still a good person. When do you think I will report to the barracks?"

Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "It's not that easy to enter the White Tiger Camp."

"Cavaling school, I have seen the soldiers under your hand. Their bodies are not as strong as I am, nor are they brave." Chen Zhitai immediately said: "If I enter the White Tiger Camp, it must be your right arm. How can you miss it? "

Qin Xiao glanced at him and said: "If you enter the White Tiger Camp, I dare not say anything else, but one thing must be better than everyone."

"Does the riding school see my strengths?" Chen Zhitai smiled with joy: "I wonder what you are talking about?"

"Skin." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "You have a thicker skin than everyone else."

After Chen Zhitai was in a daze, Qin Xiao was already shaking the horse's reins and quickly moved away from him.

The granary is in the northeast corner of the city. It covers a large area and is guarded by the Hou Mansion. The guards are extremely strict. Several roads leading to the grain and grass are guarded. It is impossible for ordinary people to approach it.

Qin Xiao brought the grain over, and the guards knew it was the harvest of the thief, but the convoy was smooth.

When he arrived at the granary, someone came out to carry it, counted the number, and then registered it. Qin Xiao was invited to a small room for tea and some snacks by the way.

Qin Xiao was not welcome about this. He was really thirsty. Someone came to tea and brought two plates of pastries. As soon as he had two mouthfuls, he heard a cough behind him. He turned his head and saw only one under the fire. A man in a gray robe walked in from outside the door.

This man is about forty-seven or eighteen years old. He has a chubby body with a horoscope and a thin skin and tender flesh.

Qin Xiao wondered if he should be the official of the granary, put down the cakes, got up and arched his hands, and said, "In the next Baihuying King Xiao, I don't know how to call him?"

"Wang Qi School." The middle-aged man walked to the table with a smile: "Sit down and speak, you are welcome. Wang Qi school bravely crowns the white tiger camp. I have heard about it for a long time. When I saw it today, it turned out to be a young hero."

Qin Xiao saw that the other party had never responded to him. He thought that even if you were a food officer, I was also a riding school in Baihuying, so your status might not be lower than you.

He always respected him by one foot, and he respected others by one foot. Since the other party was so rude, he didn't put the other person in his eyes, sat down again, took a piece of cake and put it in his mouth.

"How does it taste?" The middle-aged man sat at the table and touched his horoscope, looking at Qin Xiao like an antique, with a smile.

Qin Xiaoman said casually: "It's okay."

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Wang Qi School may not know that for this snack, there are seven or eight processes before and after, including green plum, white sugar, jujube puree, honey, osmanthus and other more than ten kinds of condiments. People are rare."

Qin Xiao was taken aback, glanced at the pastry in his hand, and then smiled: "Then I'm pretty lucky."

"Some people are born rich and rich and want what they want. Some people choose the right path, and they can have whatever they want." The middle-aged man sighed, "But most of the people in the world are like snakes, insects, rats, and ants. , There is no choice at all." Looking at Qin Xiao, he asked, "Do you know who the poorest person in this world is?"

Qin Xiao put down the cakes in his hand, how could he not hear what was in the other party's words, and asked: "Please enlighten me!"

"The poorest person has the opportunity to make a choice, but he chose the wrong one. Not only did he lose the glory and wealth he got, he even lost it." The middle-aged man sighed, "This is the poorest person."

Qin Xiao calmly asked, "Dare to ask who is your Excellency?"

"My name is Meng!" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Everyone calls me Uncle Meng, and you can call me like that too!"
