Zhang Rushi, also known as Zhang Jiaojiao, is no longer as favored as before.

Li Qin went to Liaodong twice with the emperor. He had no other skills and specialized in searching for beauties. He was lucky. He was a backup every time he fought. Otherwise, he was responsible for transporting grain and grass. When he retreated, he was always among the first batch. Therefore, his

The military structure is well preserved, which is one of the reasons why he easily gained Yang Shou's trust.

When Qin Hu and others analyzed the problem at that time, they took this point into consideration, and it was also reflected in the memorial.

When other troops rushed up, he would fight the autumn wind and plow the grass and valleys behind. One day, he would harm two villages, and tomorrow he would surround a county town. He would blackmail the Liaodong government and rob local beauties. When retreating, he would also sweep away several Mohe and Khitan troops.

camp, and robbed several prairie beauties back.

Now his harem is almost like the United Nations.

Zhang Jiaojiao was not lucky enough to catch up with her that day. She was walking in the back garden with a round fan, and met Tang Guogong Li Yuan and Li Qin.

Li Qin gave Li Yuan a generous gift and invited him to his home. He said that he had found a family tree, which clearly recorded that his family and the Li family in Longxi were of the same lineage. He invited Tang Guogong to come and take a look.

If it were normal, if he dared to mess up the bloodline of the family members and get relatives randomly, this would be a crime of treason. Not only could Li Yuan deal with him, but even the court would not let him go.

But now that the world is in chaos, Li Yuan doesn't know how long he can hold the title of a first-class noble. Moreover, Li Qin has given such a heavy gift. He feels that Li Qin holds military power and is someone he should be united with.

So I came to Li Qin's mansion with great dignity.

Li Qin was able to make friends with such a high-ranking family member, and he immediately felt that his face was filled with infinite brilliance. It was like beating gongs and drums, and blasting firecrackers to welcome Li Yuan into his home.

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, after Li Qin's push and pull, nonsense, and the sincerity of spending another two hundred thousand taels of silver, Li Yuan actually agreed to recognize this relative.

You must know that Li Yuan is the authentic head of the Li family in Longxi. If he agrees, it means that the Li family has agreed. And the significance of recognizing relatives this time is absolutely huge.

Li Qin's act of "recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan" meant that he rose from a ninth-grade grassroots person to the most noble family in the entire society.

The first of the nine grades of life!

From then on, whether he and his descendants were officials in the court or married, their starting point was eight steps higher than others.

You must know that in this society, even if you are a very popular minister but your surname is not high, you will still be looked down upon by others. The high-ranking families will close the door to you and impose various restrictions, and you will never be able to enter their world.

But now he actually did it.

When Li Yuanxing came, he insisted on visiting Li Qin's mansion, and he saw Zhang Jiaojiao.

Zhang Jiaojiao is a beauty among beauties and a sweetheart among sweethearts. With her graceful posture and fragrant mature temperament, she immediately attracted Li Yuan's attention.

Later, Li Yuan praised the girl's appearance in front of Li Qin. Li Yuan could tell at that time that Tang Guogong had thoughts about Zhang Jiaojiao.

But Li Qin didn't point it out. Although he had enough fun with Zhang Jiaojiao, it didn't mean that others could enjoy such a blessing. Even if he made a fuss, he couldn't give it to others.

But it doesn't work now, he has to let go.

However, Li Qin did not expect that when he told Zhang Jiaojiao about this matter, Zhang Jiaojiao's reaction was so strong, in short, she refused to obey.

However, Li Qin had made up his mind. On the one hand, he wrote to Tang Guogong to explain the matter, and on the other hand, he locked up Zhang Jiaojiao and deprived her of food, hoping to force her to submit.

Li Yuan, Duke of Tang Dynasty, was left behind in Taiyuan and was currently monitoring Tuque's movements in Mayi, so he could not come back at all.

Because the Tuque Qimin Khan who was loyal to the Yu Dynasty suddenly died of illness, his son Shibi succeeded to the throne of Khan. However, this Khan and his father had completely different tempers. Qimin had an economic mind and had pursued the rule of the Yu Dynasty for many years.

He followed a low-key policy and defrauded Yang Shou of countless rewards.

Yang Shou visited the grassland twice to inspect the Khan's court, and each time he was rewarded with 20 million pieces of silk, which was an astronomical figure if converted into silver taels.

Qimin took advantage of the situation and sold these silks to Persia, and Persia transferred them to Rome. As a result, these two countries prospered.

Isn't it much better than robbery? No one needs to die!

But he didn't see it that way at first. He was young and vigorous, and saw his great father Khan groveling in front of Yang Shou, like a slave, and his self-esteem was ruthlessly hit.

He would rather give up the money, but also want to give the great Tuque Kingdom a voice and regain the dignity of his dead father. The most important thing is that he feels that Yang Shou is sick in his head and looks down on Yang Shou at all.

Therefore, during this period, the Tuque cavalry continued to gather around Mayi County. This move aroused the vigilance of Tang Guogong Li Yuan, the commander of the Taiyuan Military Region. He did not dare to neglect and immediately went to Mayi to take charge of the situation to prevent any unexpected events.

Therefore, Li Qin could only go to Li Xuancheng in Chang'an and ask him to deal with it.

Li Qin's time is running out. In another half month at most, his 10,000-strong army will be ready to go to Fufeng County to suppress the bandits.

But he never expected that Zhang Jiaojiao was a very scheming woman. She had been running Li Qin's mansion for many years and had actually created many confidants for herself. As soon as Li Qin left the house, someone rescued Zhang Jiaojiao.

In front of a big shot like Li Qin, Zhang Jiaojiao originally had no way to go to heaven and no door to the earth, and she had no place to live in the ends of the earth, but she happened to be a woman who cared about current affairs.

Although she lives in a deep compound and never leaves the house, she collects the secrets in the court bit by bit every day. Even if it is a word or a paragraph, she will remember it carefully.

Finally one day she heard Qin Hu's name. Later, the name became more popular among the servants and kept appearing as a legend.

Therefore, she knew that Qin Hu was different from the past and had become a very important and powerful figure in the Yu Dynasty. Therefore, after she escaped, the first thing she did was to seek asylum in the Champion House.

However, the champion's palace was heavily guarded, especially after General Qin was assassinated. It was even more weatherproof and had copper and iron walls, so she could not enter at will.

Fortunately, she was lucky and happened to meet Su Dingfang patrolling in person. Otherwise, he would have been beaten away by the soldiers. He might even have been arrested as a suspect.

Su Dingfang was a cautious and calm person. When he saw this girl's extraordinary appearance and enchanting beauty, he did not dare to neglect her. He also heard that she was looking for the young marquis, so he asked her to wait in the concierge while he immediately went to see Qin Hu.

"Did she say her name is Zhang Jiaojiao?" Qin Hu was checking the amount of the betrothal gift with Fang Xuanling. After hearing this, his body was shaken: "Quickly, take me to see her!"
