In the afternoon, Wang Gui and Tang Huai came to Li Yanqing's mansion. Wang Gui heard that Li Yanqing had obtained a good armor, while Tang Huai heard that Li Yanqing had obtained a hook and sickle spear.

To some extent, purchasing old weapons is also a Taobao process. Some expensive weapons are randomly stuffed at home by people who are not knowledgeable. When they are used to exchange money for the New Year, the value of these weapons is reflected.

When the old woman got five hundred taels of silver, she was still dreaming. She couldn't believe the facts in front of her. The few pieces of dirty houses left by the old man actually gave her a support for the rest of her life.

In addition to Li Yanqing, Han Shizhong also used 300 guan to find a pair of rare two-handed swords and a pair of exquisitely crafted two stone bows. Cao Xing also used 1,000 guan to buy a precious sword.

"Old Li, this pair of armor is good, I'll wear it just right!" Wang Gui had already changed into armor and stood in front of the big mirror so excited that his mouth couldn't close.

"Please take a look with this knife!" Li Yanqing threw the acquired sword to him.

"No need for a knife, I don't need it, so why don't you give it to Lao Tang!" Wang Gui turned around and looked at Tang Huai sitting behind him.

"Give me the things you don't want!"

Tang Huai curled his lips, "What do you think of me as?"

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Tang Huai ignored him and smiled at Li Yanqing and said, "Old Li, I heard you got a hook and sickle spear?"

"Go! When did your nose become so agile?"

Although he was disdainful of Tang Huai's shamelessness, Li Yanqing still took the hook and sickle gun and gave it to Tang Huai, "You try it!"

Tang Huai was overjoyed. He took it and weighed it. The weight of fifty kilograms was just right for him. The gun rod was very thin. Although it was made of iron, it was very tough. The tip of the gun was about one foot and three inches long and was in a thin ridge shape. A thin barb was stretched out from the neck of the gun, and the barb was also extremely sharp.

Tang Huai brought the gun to the yard and danced around, but he felt very easy, as if this gun was specially built for him. After only one practice, he felt that the man and gun were integrated.

"Old Li, this gun has recognized the master, and I will change my surname to Tang in the future."

After practicing the gun, Tang Huai held the gun in his arms without hesitation, as if he had merged with him.

"You two guys, I got some good things and you snatched them away. Why don't you go shopping yourself? It's true that you don't have to spend money on your own, right?" Li Yanqing said to the two of them.

Wang Gui smiled, "Didn't you leave a knife for you?"

"Go to yours, the armor can be taken away, the gun must be left, that is my collection."

"Old Li, you are not kind enough to say this. You use it to collect it, but Lao Tang uses it to kill the enemy. One is for himself and the other is for the country. Lao Li, you have lost your righteousness!"

Li Yanqing snorted. Although he was extremely reluctant, he knew that his things might not be able to be brought back, especially Tang Huai, who looked around with a gun, and his admiration was even more pleasing than the bride he married. He didn't care what he said at all. He didn't care about Wang Gui's righteousness and so on. It can be imagined that if he forcibly snatched the gun back, Tang Huai would have to break up with him.

Li Yanqing had no choice but to give up this beloved thing to him.

"Old Tang, let me tell you something!" Li Yanqing knocked on the table and said.

"What's the matter, you said?" Tang Huaichu was in a good mood to get the spear, and he could accept whatever Li Yanqing said.

"That's right. After the New Year, the states of Shaanxi Road will recruit 30,000 township soldiers. I'm a little worried that the states will not do anything if they get money and food subsidies. I want you to take an army to inspect the states and urge them to recruit township soldiers."

Tang Huai nodded, "No problem, I'll just go."

"I haven't finished speaking yet!" Li Yanqing continued: "You can complete the transfer of states in two months, and then go to Qinfeng Road with His Highness Kang, and gather 20,000 rural soldiers from Qinfeng Road for training for one month. This matter is of great importance, so I will leave it to you."

Tang Huai nodded silently, and a heavy pressure was felt on his shoulder.

At this time, Wang Gui next to him laughed 'sneer!', and Li Yanqing turned around and looked at him fiercely, "Why are you laughing?"

"Old Li, will Brother Tom set off in the afternoon?"

"I just said I'll leave after the New Year!" Li Yanqing said with a lengthening face.

Wang Gui still smiled and said, "Then Brother Tom won't think about spending this year."

Li Yanqing also realized that he was too serious and assigned a task for Tang Huai more than 20 days in advance. He laughed in silence and said, "Let's go! Let's have a drink together."

The three of them arrived at the Qujiang Restaurant. The tile shop was still crowded with people and was extremely lively. They sat down by the window on the second floor. Li Yanqing ordered two pots of sake and a few plates of side dishes. Now it is a non-war period. The army allows a small amount of alcohol, but it is not allowed to get drunk. However, even if you are drunk, the punishment will not be too heavy. You will be beaten with thirty military sticks and be confined to one month.

"Old Li, we are trying hard to prepare for the war in Jingzhao Mansion. Do you think the court knows?" Wang Gui asked after drinking a glass of wine.

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Do you think Yang Suizhou and Ma Shan have nothing to do, so will you write a report to the court?"

"I can't write a report to the court, but there must be a secret report to their master." Tang Huai said disdainfully.

"Old Tang is right. If you don't talk about others, even Your Highness Kang will report to the emperor on a monthly basis. We can't hide every move in Jingzhao Mansion, but it's just a bit weird."

Wang Gui was puzzled by Li Yanqing's last words, "Old Li, what is weird?"

"It's just that we are private but not public. We are doing things in Jingzhao Mansion, whether it's Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Gao Qiu, or even the government, all of them know, but the court has no idea. Everyone has their own thoughts and looks at us coldly! I just can't figure out what they are thinking, so I say it's weird."

"Well said!" Wang Gui and Tang Huai praised in unison.

Tang Huai pondered for a while and asked again: "I agree with your analysis, but I don't understand very well. If the official clearly knows what we are doing, but he doesn't interfere, what's the reason?"

Tang Huai refers to Li Yanqing training village soldiers through subsidies. This is a taboo thing. Now he has publicly acquired old soldiers and armor, but the officials and the family did not interfere, which really made Tang Huai puzzled. Wang Gui also understood. He also looked at Li Yanqing, hoping that Li Yanqing could give an answer.

Li Yanqing picked up the wine glass and smiled slightly, "If I say that the government actually felt the threat from the Jin Kingdom, do you believe it?"

Wang Gui and Tang Huai looked at each other and shook their heads together. If even the emperor felt the threat from the Jin Kingdom, the Song Dynasty would have prepared for a large-scale war long ago, and Hebei would not have only deployed the wing army, and there would not even be an imperial guard.

"Actually, the government is not stupid. Even after the Western Xia surrender to the Jin Kingdom, he realized that the Jin Kingdom was not good. It was just that the national policy of joining the Jin Kingdom to destroy Liao was too wrong. Once the Jin Kingdom really invaded the south, he would have to issue a self-destruction. Do you understand what I mean?"

Some words cannot be said too clearly, especially the decree of guilt that Li Yanqing said has already been essentially said.

Tang Huai pondered for a moment and said, "Yanqing is right. I guess this is because the official put King Kang in Jingzhao. He acquiesced us to prepare for the war, but he was worried and let his son watch us."

As the three of them were talking, a sudden burst of horse hooves came from outside, and someone shouted: "The army has smashed the music shop! The army has smashed the music shop!"

Li Yanqing was stunned and looked outside. He saw a large mansion in the distance full of people watching the fun. Dozens of soldiers were slamming into the gate with a piece of wood. A burly general next to him was full of anger. His sword had been pulled out of his sheath. It was the commander Han Shizhong.

Li Yanqing frowned. What is Han Shizhong doing?

At this time, Wang Gui slapped his forehead suddenly, "I understand, it must be for Liang Hongyu!"

Li Yanqing suddenly became interested. Could it be that Liang Hongyu, who followed Han Shizhong, was in Jingzhao?

"Let's go! Let's take a look." Li Yanqing settled the tent and took Wang Gui and Tang Huai to walk to Lefang quickly.

Li Yanqing later learned that Liang Hongyu was just a stage name, just like Li Shishi and Su Xiaoxiao. There were two Li Shishi in the capital, Ma Shishi, Han Hongyu, Zhang Hongyu, etc. However, this stage name is generally music prostitutes, and most of them are not selling their skills but not their own. It is said that they have a relatively low origin, not that they once sold their bodies, but that their registered residence is relatively low and belongs to the music households. Their homes will not be very good. They usually marry wealthy families as concubines, and even if they are formal wives, they will marry musicians and other similar people.

At this moment, the door thrust open, Han Shizhong rushed in, and more than a dozen personal soldiers rushed into the Lefang. Li Yanqing and the other two came one step late. Wang Gui and Tang Huai-stomped their feet with hatred and rushed in.
Chapter completed!
