The former general moved directly into the county government wing, under the guise of discussing war planning with Qin Feng, but in fact he was procuring supplies from Beixi County for free, taking whatever he saw.
The most indispensable thing in Beixi County is candy. The former general had a lot of fun, sneaking into the warehouse and stuffing the candy ready for shipment into sacks, but Qin Feng caught him in the act.
"General, what are you doing?!"
Qin Feng had a depressed look on his face, thinking that he was kind enough to treat an arrow wound for you, but you, an old man, could forget it if he didn't repay you. Instead, you still had dirty hands and feet and stole the master's property. How could you have the demeanor of a general?
This is clearly inviting the wolf into the house!
Facing Qin Feng's scolding, the former general quickly hid the sack filled with candy behind him and grinned: "Xiao Qin, you also know that my military town is short of supplies. You, Beixi County, You are so rich that you don’t need this little thing.”
What is this word?
Besides, the border troops are the front line against foreign enemies and should have received the most generous treatment, but now they only allocate just enough military expenditures, and maintain minimum standards for food and grass supplies.
Why did the frontier army live in such misery? Why did Emperor Liang target the frontier army everywhere? Would this old man not know? I still have the nerve to complain, so I’m not ashamed!
Qin Feng snatched the sack off and said angrily: "General, if you ask for some food, grass, meat and rice, that's it. These candies are the favorites of the literati and nobles in the territory. They are all dispensable. You The arrow wound has not healed yet, so don’t waste your precious energy on these external things.”
The former general curled his lips: "Why are you talking so much? You are just stingy!"
mean?
It’s really a battle of favors and enmities. Qin Feng was angry: "Old man... Ahem, General, stop talking about those seven or eight things. Just say, stay in Beixi County and don't leave. After all, What's your intention? If you were trying to steal supplies, believe it or not, I would let the officials arrest you?"
Seeing Qin Feng being so merciless, the former general smiled instead of being angry. He reached out and patted Qin Feng's shoulder. As a result, the wound was affected, and he couldn't help but grimace in pain.
Deserve it!
Qin Feng felt relieved.
The former general covered the wound. When the pain subsided, he breathed a sigh of relief and showed an incomparable animal smile again: "Xiao Qin, with your intelligence, you naturally know why I stayed in Beixi County, so why should you? Asking questions knowingly?"
"There are no outsiders here. I, the general, will dig into your heart."
"The grudge between this general and the saint has been going on for a long time. It is a last resort to support the soldiers and respect themselves. As long as this general puts down his military power, the saint will not hesitate to attack him."
Qin Feng did not doubt the former general's words. Emperor Liang would not mind killing anyone who threatened the imperial power.
Qin Feng's heart was like a mirror, but he pretended to be confused on the surface: "Why does the general want to talk to me about this?"
Although the former general had been guarding the border for more than ten years and had not participated in party struggles for a long time, he still had a basic strategy. Naturally, he understood that Qin Feng was not letting go of the rabbit before he saw it.
In this case, the former general stopped talking and went straight to the point: "Your Qin family has nothing to do with why I ended up in this situation."
As soon as he said this, Qin Feng couldn't help but frown slightly, and murmured in his heart, how come the disputes in the north are still related to the Qin family?
General Qin was also unambiguous. Just now, he had a shallow mouth and short hands when taking advantage of others. At this time, he was full of pride: "Back then, before the saint inherited the throne, and when the northern border was at war, he gave birth to a dragon with a girl from the northern border. Son. This dragon son threatened the status of a certain nobleman in the harem, and was immediately hunted down."
"This general once tried his best to protect the treasure of the people in the court, but he was transferred to the military border in the north. He has been away for more than ten years."
Speaking of this, the former general said with deep meaning: "Do you know who the bead that this general mentioned is?"
There is no need to think about this matter carefully, Qin Feng already has the answer in his heart. After all, Qin Feng has long suspected the identity of that person. It is none other than the third sister Li Xiaolan.
First of all, her surname was Li, and secondly, she was the adopted daughter of the Qin family. She had been staying in the north with the Qin Cheng family, and was constantly hunted by top killers like Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao once admitted to Qin Feng personally that the person behind him was a certain nobleman in the harem.
All these details are correct.
Li Xiaolan is the daughter of Emperor Liang, the majestic Princess of Liang! ! !
The reason why Liu Hongyan has always maintained close contact with Li Xiaolan is because she knows Li Xiaolan's true identity, and the team of Jin Yiwei are also the soldiers who secretly protect Li Xiaolan.
The mystery of Li Xiaolan's identity finally cleared up, and Qin Feng let out a long sigh of relief.
He directly cupped his fists and saluted the former general: "On behalf of the Qin family, I would like to express my highest gratitude to the former general."
Speaking of this, Qin Feng's eyes were extremely firm and he said: "Since the former general once protected the Qin family, he is a friend of the Qin family. Based on this alone, I will have no need for the former general in the north in the future, as long as it does not violate my bottom line. , Beixi County will fully support it.”
This was what the former general was waiting for.
As long as he has the support of Qin Feng and Beixi County, the former general can stand firm in the north.
Although he had formed a private alliance with the former general, Qin Feng did not fully trust him in his heart and asked tentatively: "I wonder which wealthy family the former general is loyal to?"
As if he had expected Qin Feng to ask this question, the former general showed a treacherous smile.
"This general is not loyal to anyone! The previous affair between my general and the southern wealthy family was just a rumor deliberately spread to protect himself."
Qin Feng didn't expect this.
But after thinking about it, I felt relieved. After all, officials who can sit in high positions, whether they are civil servants or military generals, are all better than monkeys.
After all, it had been so long since the founding of the Liang Dynasty that those brave and reckless men had long been victims of party strife and had been almost eliminated by the Li family.
If Qin Feng had formed an alliance with the former general just to repay his kindness, then his mood has changed drastically at this time.
The former generals and border troops who have been isolated and helpless will definitely cherish their alliance with Beixi County. In this way, Beixi County's status in the northern border will also be unshakable.
An old man and a young man looked at each other and smiled shamelessly.
The former general took advantage of Qin Feng's inattention and snatched the sack containing the candy: "Bring it to you!"
With this relationship, the former general became even more unscrupulous and even took boxes of good candies for himself in front of Qin Feng.
Although Qin Feng cursed the shameless old thief in his heart, he smiled in return, took out all the latest and expensive wine candies, and stuffed some of the least valuable tea candies into the sack.
"General, these tea candies are the best. Please take more of these. The other candies are all cheap and deceptive..."
