Wang Kui personally stepped forward and opened the car curtain, helped Eunuch Hai down. Looking at this glorious old man, Wang Kui bent down slightly and said with a smile: "Old ancestor, I haven't seen you for a while. How do you look?"
Still so good.”
Eunuch Hai snorted: "Baby monkey, thank you for remembering our family. Thanks to the emperor and Eunuch Cao, our old bones are still strong."
Wang Kui introduced Mr. Xia to Eunuch Hai with a smile, and Xia Xiuzhi came over with a smile to salute. Eunuch Hai was dressed in a brocade python robe and had an extraordinary bearing. He just glanced at Mr. Xia proudly and nodded slightly, which was considered a greeting.
Then a group of people entered the General Military Festival Hall. Eunuch Hai naturally sat down, and two other mysterious middle-aged men with impressive figures sat under Eunuch Hai. Wang Kui and Xia Xiuzhi did not dare to sit down, so they stood and waited on them.
Wang Kui asked cautiously: "Did Eunuch Hai pass by Tongguan this time under a holy order?"
Hai Gonggong said: "You are also from the palace. Why don't you understand any rules? Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked.\"
Wang Kui quickly apologized, and Eunuch Hai waved his hand: "That's all, we are not outsiders, and I have nothing to hide from you. Our family was appointed by the emperor as the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi-Gansu Army. These two are generals sent by the Ministry of War to assist our family.
, serve as the admirals of Shaanxi and Gansu provinces respectively. I won’t mention my names for the time being. After all, the imperial court has not issued an edict yet. We are traveling under the stars and night to be a soldier. Wang Kui, you also know that King Qin... Oh, let’s not mention it.
Let’s not mention it anymore.”
Eunuch Hai spoke vaguely, but Wang Kui understood the meaning. King Qin was no longer favored by the emperor. He left behind a mess of military and political affairs. The emperor wanted to send someone trustworthy to take over. The commander-in-chief of Shaanxi and Gansu Province was a very popular person.
My father-in-law is a retired man, so he can still get it once again. How lucky he is.\
Xia Xiuzhi looked at the two middle-aged men. They had extraordinary demeanor and calmness. A faint aura of killing sprang up spontaneously. At a glance, he knew that they were fierce generals who could defeat ten thousand enemies. This was not something that could be faked. The two provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu
The admiral, that is a second-grade military officer, his immediate superior. If he doesn’t flatter me now, why are he waiting? He hurriedly stepped forward, lifted his robe and knelt down: "Eunuch Hai, two military sects, Xia Xiuzhi, the humble commander of Tongguan, what are you waiting for?"
I wish you all the best, if there is anyone who can be put to a humble position, I will fight to the death."
Dozens of tallow sticks were lit in the festival hall, and the lights were brightly lit. Eunuch Hai exchanged glances with the two admirals, nodded approvingly to Xia Xiuzhi, and said: "The country is in crisis, and it is the time when people are employed. Tongguan is the
It is the gateway to Guanzhong and a choke point. It is a great achievement for General Xia to guard the pass well.\"
After Eunuch Hai finished speaking, the tall middle-aged man said: "We have been traveling all day and haven't eaten yet. Mr. Xia, please arrange some drinks and meals."
When Xia Xiuzhi heard this, he was very happy. He was worried that there would be no chance to build relationships. The wine table is the best place to enhance feelings. He quickly ordered the kitchen to open fire. The horses of the sergeants were also led into the stables, and they were served with oats, licorice and water.
, don’t dare to be negligent in the slightest.
In the fortress kitchen, there was always a fire in the stove. In less than half an hour, several tables of banquets were set up in the festival hall. The sergeants from Beijing and the accompanying guests from the Tongguan military gathered together to exchange glasses of wine.
The banquet was very sumptuous, not to mention chicken, duck, beef and mutton, but also pheasant spores brought from the mountains, fish and shrimp from the river, and the most rare thing was a stag, skinned and roasted on the fire, sizzling with oil and velvet antlers.
The blood was mixed with wine and drank something that could aphrodisiac. Looking at the satisfied expressions of the officials in the capital, Xia Xiuzhi rubbed his hands and said modestly: "In a remote country, there is nothing that can be done to make the adults laugh."
"General Xia is too modest." Eunuch Hai raised his wine glass with a smile and took a sip. This wine was Fenjiu that Wang Kui had seized. It was indeed a good thing, but in the eyes of Eunuch Hai who came out of the imperial kitchen, it was just mediocre.
Xu Da and Tang He, the two old guys, are acting in their true colors. There is no need to hide or disguise at all. Every move is quite natural. They drink a lot of wine and eat meat from a big bowl, showing their true qualities as warriors. Xu Da's two sons are usually not afraid of eating meat.
, all comers were welcome, only the thirteen-stick monk from the Shaolin Temple looked embarrassed, but in order not to reveal his identity, he still picked up the wine bowl resolutely.
After drinking for three rounds, the solemn atmosphere became lighter and everyone became more harmonious. Eunuch Hai told Wang Kuitui sincerely: "The King of Qin has been defeated this time. Our family is going to Chang'an this time to capture all his wings."
, all properties have been searched and stored in the warehouse, it seems like a good job, but there are so many things, I don’t know how to start. I heard that the King of Qin has a lot of property, and there are so many fields, shops, and caravans. Oh, it’s really troublesome.”
It was more of a show off than a complaint, and Wang Kui was envious. The two discussed the techniques of confiscating homes, and recalled the days when they worked together in the imperial kitchen, and they became closer.
After Xu Da Tanghe and others drank a few glasses of wine with Xia Zongbing, they became warmer. When talking about the hard work, Xu Da took off his hat, revealing his bare bald head and said: "This trip is a hard work.
I traveled from the capital city all the way through the starry night and never stopped. If I had known it would be so hard, I might as well have continued to be the commander of the bodyguards at the Dabaoen Temple.\"
It turned out to be the emperor's personal guard, no wonder he was so majestic. Xia Xiuzhi wanted to curry favor with him, and toasted Xu Da with a few more glasses of wine, saying: "A general has been promoted to an admiral, a governor of a province's military affairs, and even in a humble position, I have to listen to your dispatch, that...
... I would like to inquire about something from my humble position. What arrangements does the imperial court have in Shaanxi and Gansu? Regarding official and military affairs..."
Xia Xiuzhi knew that this time there was going to be a major change in the officialdom of Shaanxi and Gansu. If he didn't take this opportunity to curry favor with these senior officials, he would never get such a good opportunity again.
Xu Dadao: "When I go to Chang'an this time, I will definitely pick a group of people. If General Xia is interested in moving up his official position, he might as well make arrangements early."
Xia Xiuzhi understood that these days, the relationship at the wine table does not matter, the most important thing is the yellow and white ones.\

After drinking, Wang Kui gave up his room for Eunuch Hai to stay, and asked General Xia to arrange several clean and comfortable rooms for officials from the capital to live. Wang Kui personally sent Eunuch Hai into the house and helped him get out of the house.
Shoes, while serving, asked: "Eunuch Hai, what about me?"
The drunken Eunuch Hai smiled and said: "Don't worry, little monkey, our family will write a note to Eunuch Cao when we get back."
Wang Kui was overjoyed and kowtowed to Eunuch Hai several times, holding a stack of banknotes in his hands: "Eunuch Hai, this is my little tribute to you."
Eunuch Hai glanced at it, gently took it and put it on the bedside: "This kid, I won't do this again.\"
Coming out of the room, Wang Kui met Xia Xiuzhi head-on. General Xia had just come out of the room of the two admirals. The two knew it well and said nothing. They laughed at each other and passed each other.
Just now General Xia also expressed his feelings to Xu Datang and the two of them. In addition to two thousand taels of silver, he also tactfully proposed to send a cavalry to assist the two adults on their errands. After all, King Qin has been operating in Chang'an for a period of time, and he has quite a few talents.
Hey, the Imperial Envoy has too few people accompanying him. It would be bad if someone takes a desperate risk.
Mr. Xia wanted to share some of the credit. After many scenes with Xu Dadang and the two of them, they could see through this idea at a glance, and did not agree to him on the spot. He only said that he would think about it.
Early the next morning, everyone woke up early. It happened to be rainy for many days, but it cleared up today. A big red sun rose from the east. The imperial guards were ready. Eunuch Hai walked out surrounded by people. Suddenly he saw a few people parked on the roadside.
There was a carriage with a huge one painted on the carriage shed and he asked casually: "Is this the carriage of the Deng family in Xianyang?"
Wang Kui said: "Exactly, the leader of the caravan, Deng Ziming, was smuggling saltpeter and sulfur, and he has been detained by the young man.\"
Mr. Hai said: "The information from the Jin Yiwei said that this man named Deng is a close associate of the King of Qin. Please give him to our family. Our family can come in handy."
How dare Wang Kui disobey and ordered Deng Ziming to be taken out of prison and handed over to Eunuch Hai.
In that compartment, Xu Da said to Xia Xiuzhi: "We have discussed with Eunuch Hai that we need to be more impressive when entering Chang'an, so let's temporarily lend General Xia some troops."
Xia Xiuzhi was overjoyed. It was an honor for him to be able to contribute a little bit. Both parties were on the same page and did not mention the issue of deploying troops. They were just helping. Why do you take it so seriously? It would be nice if they agreed to share a piece of the pie with you.\
Xia Xiuzhi temporarily allocated 400 cavalry to escort the imperial envoy. Originally, Tongguan was a fortress and was mainly used for defense. This cavalry was already Xia Xiuzhi's family background.
Before leaving, Eunuch Hai said to Wang Kui in a serious voice: "Tongguan is an important choke point and must be guarded. There are still some remnants of rebels in the south of the Yangtze River. They may go to Xiliang via Tongguan to surrender to the enemy. Xiao Kui, you must be careful.
If you don't let a suspicious person go, don't trust them even if they have the reputation of being a Jinyiwei inner factory."
Wang Kui bowed to the end: "Thank you, Eunuch Hai, for reminding me."
After the group left Tongguan, they saw the Weihe Plain to the west. The sky was high, the fields were vast, the autumn air was crisp, and everyone was in a good mood, so they walked away vigorously.
In the carriage, the young eunuch Yufeng asked Eunuch Hai curiously: "Eunuch Hai, were you afraid last night? Pretending to be an imperial envoy is a serious crime of beheading."
Hai Gonggong said: "I have been cautious all my life. I am afraid enough. If I dare to be bold a few times in my old age, my life will not be wasted. Monkey boy, are you afraid?"
Yufeng said: "I was a little scared at first, my hands were shaking so much that I had to hide them in my sleeves, but later I saw their stammering looks and I wasn't scared anymore."
Eunuch Hai nodded and said: "By the way, the officialdom of the Zhou Dynasty is like this. It is unreasonable to survive."
Yuan Feng and Xu Da were riding side by side. Xu Da asked, "Your Highness, why do you ask for these cavalry from the general of Xia? Having them around would be a burden."
Yuan Feng said: "Shaanxi and Gansu provinces are the territory of the Zhou Dynasty after all. Zhang Shicheng is very quick to take action. I heard that an imperial envoy has already gone to Lanzhou. The journey ahead is still very long and there are too many unknowns. This group of people is the
Our true talismans, with them here, we are not just imperial envoys, we have become imperial envoys."
Just as he was talking, there was smoke and dust in front of him, and it seemed that a group of cavalry was running towards him. The guarding cavalry general Qian shouted in a long voice: "There are horse thieves~~"
The Tongguan cavalry were suddenly in chaos, shouting and neighing, but only the twenty or so men under Yuan Feng were as solid as a rock.
