In a large tent, Li Yanqing and four soldiers were busy sorting out various piles of pictures and texts. This was the spoils collected by the soldiers of the intelligence battalion from various places of Xixia intelligence points. Of course, the soldiers would not organize them. Even if the task was completed by the designated tent, the remaining large tedious tasks were completed by civilian officials. At present, the ten newly recruited soldiers have not yet conducted interviews, so Li Yanqing can only temporarily lead the four soldiers to organize them.

"First classify the valuable documents, throw them aside, and then organize the valuable parts."

Li Yanqing pointed at everyone. At this time, Zhao Wen looked at the pile of information like a hill, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes. He frowned and asked, "Master, do you have to finish everything today?"

"Of course it's impossible!"

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Let's sort it out first, and then sort it out in detail after recruiting new people in a few days. These tedious and meticulous things are done by engaging in, not by you, you are only responsible for reviewing them."

At this time, a soldier appeared at the door of the tent, bowed and bowed to Li Yanqing and said, "Report to the commander, the commander, please come over!"

Li Yanqing put down several maps in his hand and smiled at everyone, "Everyone continue, I'll come."

Li Yanqing got up and left the tent. Soon after, he came to the tent of Zhong Shidao. A personal soldier entered to report to him. After a moment, the personal soldier came out and smiled at Li Yanqing and said, "Please join the army, please come in!"

Li Yanqing walked into the tent, and he stopped suddenly. There were two people sitting in the tent, one of whom was the Grand Marshal Zhong Shidao, and the other was really not expected that it was Tong Guan, the Grand Marshal Tong Guan. When did he come to the camp?

He hadn't seen Tong Guan for two years, and suddenly encountered him. Li Yanqing felt an indescribable embarrassment, but at this time he had no time to think about it. Li Yanqing had to bite the bullet and bow and bow, "See the Grand Marshal, meet the Grand Marshal Tong!"

Although Li Yanqing also served as the commander of the intelligence battalion, he met with the courtesy of a civil servant.

Tong Guan smiled and said, "Yanqing, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Tong Guan acted as if nothing had happened between him and Li Yanqing. Of course, Li Yanqing knew that Tong Guan was very envious and it was difficult to see his true thoughts from his appearance, but this was good, at least he would not break up on the surface.

"Although I haven't seen each other for two years, the Taiwei's spirit is still there!"

Tong Guan smiled and said to Zhong Shidao: "Li Shenjun's archery skills are quite good. I wonder if Zhong Shuai is aware of it?"

Mr. Zhong smiled faintly, "I have heard of his name for a long time and have witnessed it with my own eyes."

"Yes! Sometimes I always feel that it's a pity to let Li join the army as a civil servant. Being a military general may be able to better display his talents."

"The Grand Marshal still doesn't know Li's ability to join the army. I have been in the army for nearly fifty years and I have seen a talent like Li's army for the first time. It took only a few days to build the Intelligence Department, and then I removed all the detailed intelligence points in Xixia in Hedong. The same is true for the Military Department. After two days of taking office, I completed the matter that had accumulated for several months. I really don't know whether he should be in charge of the Military Department or the Intelligence Department. Now he serves on both sides, and the pressure is too great."

Mr. Zhong did not mention the matter of military generals at all. The implication was to ignore Tong Guan’s hint. Tong Guan was secretly annoyed, but he still smiled on his face and said, "Those who are capable should work hard!"

Tong Guan is Zhong Shidao's boss. If he wants to transfer Li Yanqing away or change him to a military general, he does not need to seek Zhong Shidao's opinions at all. Li Yanqing can be transferred with a transfer order. The reason why he did not do this was not because he gave Zhong Shidao face, but because Liang Shicheng.

Liang Shicheng had already hinted that Li Yanqing is now his person and hopes that Tong Guan will give him face and never blame him. This made Tong Guan extremely angry, but he was helpless. He is still in an alliance with Liang Shicheng. He has to give this face, but he just expressed his dissatisfaction in some way, but he dared not really make things difficult for Li Yanqing.

Tong Guan laughed dryly, and the topic changed, "This time Li Ganjun seized a large amount of property, which solved the Northwest Army's urgent needs. This is a great achievement. I wonder how Mr. Zhong planned to commend him?"

Li Yanqing suddenly understood that he would not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Tong Guan originally came for the 300,000 taels of silver he had seized. The so-called commendation of himself was actually a test of whether Zhong Shidao had reported this to the court. Li Yanqing remained silent and saw how Zhong Shidao answered.

Zhong Shidao smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I have submitted a letter to the emperor and report this small victory to the emperor in a timely manner. In the memorial, I also proposed that the seized property is intended to be a supplement to the military expenditure of the Northwest Army, and I hope the emperor can agree."

Zhunshidao ginger is old, so he certainly knew that Tong Guan’s purpose of this trip was to take away all the seized gold and silver. How could this be possible? How could such a huge wealth not be handed over to the court?

If he let Tong Guan take away his property and get the benefits, but he will bear the responsibility himself. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

Master Zhong directly brought the emperor out and let Tong Guan take care of it?

Sure enough, when Tong Guan heard that Shidao Zhong had reported to the emperor, his face suddenly became gloomy and said coldly for a while: "I'm afraid the court will deduct our military expenses!"

"We have no choice but to decide the court, but after all, this wealth is huge. If you hide it and don't report it, once the emperor knows it, you may not be able to afford to be guilty."

"Can this batch of gold and silver be included in the list?"

Mr. Zhong took a booklet from the table and handed it to Li Yanqing. Li Yanqing transferred it to Tong Guan. Tong Guan took the book and opened it and took a look. There were 320,000 taels of silver, 16,500 taels of gold, 7,400 hectares of land, and 344 pieces of jewelry.

"Let's do this! The Shaanxi Army is extremely tight, and the generals and civil servants can no longer pay their salaries. I will take the gold away first. I will report to the emperor tomorrow. Other wealth will be temporarily sealed and wait for the government's plan."

After all, Tong Guan is the Grand Marshal and his immediate boss. It would not be realistic to let him go back empty-handed. Zhong Shidao nodded and said, "How dare the subordinates refuse to follow the order of the Grand Marshal?"

Tong Guan's face was slightly calmer. Ten thousand taels of gold were equivalent to 200,000 taels of money, which could also allow him to hold on for a while.

At this time, Tong Guan glanced at Li Yanqing and smiled and said, "Li Zhanjun just took office, and he pulled out all the Xixia fine work points on Hedong Road. I guess there are many on Shaanxi Road. I wonder if Li Zhanjun is interested in going to Shaanxi Road to scan the Xixia people's intelligence points?"

Li Yanqing bowed slightly, "As a lower-level official, Yanqing must obey military orders!"

Li Yanqing pushed the ball to Zhong Shidao. He was telling Tong Guan, "I am a low-ranking official, how can you ask me about such a thing?"

Zhong Shidao smiled, "Li doesn't have to be too serious. Taiwei Tong is just a joke. Taiwei is full of talents, how can you be missing?"

Tong Guan cursed in his heart and could only smile: "It's really just a joke, but the Intelligence Department is a good thing. I will send someone to learn it and then promote it to the entire army. Not only the Northwest Army, but the Hebei Army will also be established. I hope that Li joins the army will give you advice at that time!"

"Weizhi will definitely cooperate with the Taiwei!"

Tong Guan mentioned 16,500 taels of gold, so he stopped staying for a long time. He immediately said goodbye and went west, leading a thousand troops back to Jingzhao Prefecture. Just as Tong Guan left, Li Yanqing once again came to the coach's tent.

Mr. Zhong said angrily to Li Yanqing: "Reasonablely, before the emperor's will arrive, no one is allowed to act rashly. He insists on taking away gold. How can I explain this to the emperor?"

"The general can report to the emperor according to the truth!"

Zhong Shidao shook his head and sighed, "The problem is not here. Whose credit is the question? Do you think Tong Guan really wants to take away gold? No, it's because I made this credit to the emperor first, which made him dissatisfied, so he came to find something."

"What will he do?" Li Yanqing asked.

"He took away the gold. If the court sent someone to verify the wealth, he would find that the gold was missing. Tong Guan would not admit that he took the gold, so I would not be able to explain it clearly."

"Since that's the case, why did the Grand Marshal give him the gold?"

Zhong Shidao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "You must understand the principle that military orders are as good as a mountain. He is my immediate boss. If I dare to disobey his orders, he has the right to remove my post on the spot. In the end, this matter is indeed my fault first, and I should not bypass him and give a confession to the emperor. Although the emperor gave me the privilege of expressing it directly, you must understand that this power is a double-edged sword that facilitates yourself, but offends the boss. It is difficult for me to achieve both."

"What did the Grand Marshal plan to explain the golden gap?" Li Yanqing asked.

Zhong Shidao was silent for a moment and said, "There is no other way except to explain it clearly to the emperor. Since he has offended someone, he can only offend him to the end."

"I understand."

Mr. Zhong smiled and said, "Don't take this little thing to heart. Is the interview matter already arranged tomorrow?"

Li Yanqing hurriedly said, "The list has come out. There are 120 people selected by the Mansion School. Will the Grand Marshal go for an interview together?"

"Look! If you have time, I'll go together."

At this moment, a personal soldier reported at the entrance of the tent, "Reported to the Grand Commander, there was a person from the camp, saying that it was an official appointed by the court, who came to take office."

"What's his name?" Mr. Zhong asked anxiously.
