Chapter 9 Follow the plan
When I returned to "Fuman Tower", it was still late at night. I floated in the garden in the back garden.
"Who!" With a loud shout, two figures jumped out of the bushes on both sides of the road, holding steel knives, standing in front of me vigilantly. At this time, I could only see clearly that the person was me by the moonlight, so I hurriedly bowed my fists and said, "See the master of the sect."
I waved my hand to them, signaled them to avoid tribute, and said, "You go down and pay more attention to the movements around you."
The two great men said respectfully: "Yes", and then flashed and disappeared into the night. Because Jiangdu is in an extraordinary period now, with fish and dragons mixed together, and almost all major forces have ear wires in the city, all wanting to make a fortune in the chaos. In order to avoid the occurrence of other situations, Han Lei specially strengthened his vigilance, and his staff was twice as high as usual.
I gently pushed open Zhenzhen's room door and walked to her bed with my hands and feet. I saw that she was sleeping sweetly, but did not wake her up. I sat by her bed, covered the quilt, and got up and returned to my room.
The next morning, I called Han Lei to the room and ordered: "Brother Han, I heard that your relationship with Dugu Sheng is extraordinary?"
Han Lei was slightly stunned and then smiled and said, "Haha, in fact, our relationship is not as close as it appears, because our business in Jiangdu now needs the care of the towns around us. Although we have enough strength to protect ourselves, it is not conducive to our concealing our strength, and will expose our background to the major forces too early, which is not conducive to the sect leader's future grand career. Therefore, it is better to let these high-ranking sect valves come forward to solve some things.
He helped us to ensure that our trading was normal, and we would pay them dividends regularly every year. Everyone was just a mutual use of each other. Dugu Valve was our guardian, and we were their God of Wealth.
Haha, the sect leader doesn’t know that we not only have contacts with Dugu Valve, but also have close contact with several other major Valves and local forces. The weapons of Li and Yuwen Valves are mainly purchased from the Dongming Sect, while we are the main source of weapons for Dugu Valves, Song Valves and other forces. People in the world only know that the Dongming Sect is the world’s number one weapon producer, but in fact our strength is definitely above them. It’s just that we hide and don’t send them.
Haha, even if the gate mainly equips a 50,000-held iron cavalry within ten days, we can do it with our current reserves."
I was surprised after hearing this, "Fifty thousand heavy armored iron cavalry! Haha, this number of iron cavalry can flatten the prairie." You should know that heavy cavalry, including mounts, are covered with fine armor. Even sharp swords and blades can only leave marks on them, and cannot penetrate them with one blow. The ordinary swords and spears are even more difficult to hurt. When combined with the sharp narrow blade and wide back, they can be impacted and galloped on the flat grassland. The power can be imagined.
The most favorable combat mode on the grassland is horse warfare, because the grassland is vast and vast, which is conducive to the impact of cavalry, and with appropriate weapons and equipment, it can cause unexpected destructive power. The reason why the Turks could dominate the grassland was that they had a powerful cavalry. Especially the Golden Wolf Cavalry of Jieli of the Western Turks, which was even more invincible in the prairie and had an invincible myth.
However, the equipment of the Golden Wolf Cavalry is a bit small compared to the heavy armored Iron Cavalry. Even if Jie Li's Golden Wolf Cavalry saw such a powerful Iron Cavalry, he could only escape by looking at the wind and collapsed thousands of miles away.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. I hoped to take the iron cavalry to gallop across the endless grassland as soon as possible. But I thought of another problem and asked: "The smelting technique in the Central Plains is extremely good, but the physique of war horses and the horse control technique of cavalry are far inferior to the races on the grassland. Therefore, it is not enough to have weapons and equipment alone. You must have corresponding troops and high-quality war horses. We must think more about this in the future."
After hearing this, Han Lei replied with a smile: "Report to the sect master, today the ability to raise horses is the Pegasus Ranch, and we are also involved in this industry, but our current strength is not enough to compare with Pegasus Ranch. If we want to quickly expand the number of horses, the best way is to take Pegasus Ranch for our own use. However, Shang Xiong, the first owner of Pegasus Ranch, has already set rules that Pegasus Ranch will not be involved in any disputes in power, so this matter is extremely difficult to deal with.
Since the sect leader is so fond of this, his subordinates will pass the sect leader's order to expand our strength in this area, and at the same time mobilize manpower to increase our strength in the two pastures on the Eastern Turkic border to prevent several powerful horse thieves outside the Great Wall."
I nodded and said, "It's so good."
Han Lei asked me at this time: "Buzhi Sect Master just asked me what my subordinates wanted to have a relationship with Dugu Sheng? I would like to ask the Sect Master to give me instructions."
I was fascinated by the moment I thought about it and almost missed the matter. I suddenly said, "Haha, it's nothing big. I want to ask Brother Han to arrange for me to meet Dugu Sheng. It's best to choose the time and place today. You can just notify me at that time."
Han Lei was stunned, with a puzzled expression on his face. He thought carefully for a while and said, "It's okay to ask him out, and you can arrange to meet in our 'Manfu Building'. But..."
"Just what?" I asked.
Han Lei looked at me and said, "I dared to ask the sect leader about his intention to meet Dugu Sheng." After that, he kept glanced at me, for fear that I would be unhappy about it.
I said seriously: "I want to see Yang Guang!"
When Han Lei heard this, he stood there in shock and said in a lost voice: "What?"
...
Han Lei has a very good face in Yangzhou. He just left for a while and made an appointment with Dugu Sheng, which was located in "Manfulou"
"Report to the sect leader, Dugu Sheng has arrived at the 'Manfu Tower' and has four followers. The sect leader Han was entertaining them at the 'Manju Pavilion'. The sect leader ordered his subordinates to ask the sect leader to move." A strong man in strong clothes bowed outside the door, his tone was very respectful.
"Okay, I got it, you go down." I waved at him and then got up to "Manju Pavilion".
He knocked on the door and pushed it in and saw Han Lei talking to a man.
The Dugu Fen, second only to Dugu Feng, looks inconspicuous. He is only a short and thin old man in his fifties, but his eyes that seem to be open and closed are deep and bright, and his temples are bulging on both sides, making people know that he is not an ordinary person.
I was the one who came to Han Lei, so I stood up and introduced: "Brother, this is General Dugu, you want to meet the hero of the dynasty. I'm not here to visit."
In order to hide my identity as the leader of the "Tianya Hai Pavilion", Han Lei said when he invited Dugu Sheng, he said that I was his fistful year of Zhu Ming.
I came to Dugu Sheng and respectfully clasped my fists and said, "I heard about General Dugu's name for a long time, and I finally met today. It's really better to meet than to meet, and it's even more famous."
As the saying goes, "It's true that you don't wear a single body," it's true.
Dugu Sheng laughed twice after hearing the sound, and showed excitement on his face. He stood up and said, "Young master, you are a friend of Brother Lei, and you are my Dugu Sheng. Everyone is my own person, so you don't have to see him. Moreover, I think the younger brother is also a generous person, so he doesn't have to pay attention to those secular etiquettes. We should still talk about friendships with peers. In this way, everyone doesn't have to turn around and go around."
After hearing this, I laughed and said, "Since General Dugu said this, I have to respect myself rather than obey. Please sit down. Let's sit down and talk while eating. Isn't it a pity to waste these delicious wines and delicacies?"
Dugu Valle sat happily.
Seeing that everything was developing as planned, Han Lei retreated with the opportunity and said humbly: "General Dugu, you and my little brother will chat slowly first. There are other things waiting for me to deal with in my restaurant, so I lost my companion."
Dugu Sheng smiled generously, took the wine pot, poured a full glass of wine, and picked it up and said, "Hehe, you can't resist this glass of punishment."
Han Lei smiled but didn't answer, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, as if he had something to say.
When Dugu Sheng saw him, he knew that the glass of wine would be ruined again when he asked him to speak. He hurriedly said in front of Han Lei:
"Brother Han, this is your fault. You obviously got me here to pay it back, but you want to leave before you even entertain me. Haha, aren't you afraid of neglecting the guests? Also, every time you want to punish you for drinking, you can make excuses to turn them off. This time, in front of your little brother, you will never want to make excuses again."
When Han Lei saw this, he laughed, stretched out his hand, took the wine glass with pleasure, and said, "Haha, Brother Dugu knows me, okay, I'll drink this time. It's my apology to Brother Dugu, and I'll drink it happily with Brother Dugu one day. At that time, you shouldn't let it go."
When Dugu Sheng heard this, he raised his thumbs up and said loudly: "Okay, this time is just enough to be happy. Don't worry, I'm going to have a meal. Don't take some broken wine and vegetables to deal with me at that time."
Han Lei knew that he was joking with him. After talking to Dugu Shengke for a few words, he hugged us and retreated.
Dugu Sheng turned his head and ordered his four followers: "You four are going down to use some wine, there is nothing you have to do here."
After hearing this, the four of them left respectfully, and only Dugu Sheng and I were left in the room.
When Dugu Sheng saw his subordinates leave, he sat back on his seat and drank a drink.
I looked at him quietly, with a smile on my face, but I knew it in my heart: "Haha, Dugu Sheng is not the second person behind Dugu's sect leader. Only from my behavior just now, I have never seen the turn of Han Lei's year.
When he poured wine, his hands did not tremble, his heart did not shake, and there was no abnormal reaction on his body, and he was extremely calm. His eyes were even more confident. He looked like he knew my name well."
Dugu Sheng put down the wine glass in his hand, his eyes suddenly appeared, and a lukewarm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, staring at me and said, "Young Master Xiaoyao is here to come here this time, can you discuss important matters?"
