Zuo Mengeng rested at home for three days before meeting Wang Weiran.
This is sheer neglect.
But Wang Weiran had no choice.
Who told him to ask for help from others?
I came to Zuofu again and got through the door smoothly this time.
But when he entered the inner courtyard, he felt something different.
"I'm sorry, Prince Wang. We will treat your servants well."
The guards came forward and separated Wang Weiran from the servants.
Wang Weiran suppressed the anger in her heart.
"This is my personal servant."
The guard shook his head.
"The commander-in-chief's safety is more important than anything else, please don't make things difficult for us."
Seeing the other party's resolute attitude, Wang Weiran was particularly helpless and had to ask the servants to rest outside.
Even so, the follow-up is still very cumbersome.
Wang Weiran followed the guards inside and was stopped again.
"Prince, please cooperate with our work."
As he spoke, two guards came up and touched his body from top to bottom, not sparing any corner.
Wang Weiran finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"What are you doing?"
The guard had a cold face.
"For the safety of the commander-in-chief, this is a necessary step."
Wang Weiran only felt ridiculous.
When he and Zuo Mengeng had a banquet at the same table, when did it become so difficult to see each other?
However, the imperial guards were outnumbered and he could not resist, so he had no choice but to swallow this humiliation.
He originally thought that this was Zuo Mengeng's intimidation to him.
But when he actually entered it, he suddenly realized that the guards here were far more dense than he had imagined.
There is one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. All the guards are smart, capable, heroic and brave people.
Along the way to the synagogue, he didn't know how many guards he saw.
Although he has never met the emperor, there are many officials in his family, and he has heard many elders talk about the situation in the palace.
I'm afraid it's a little inferior compared to here.
The personal experience along the way had a real impact on Wang Weiran.
When he saw Zuo Mengeng, his mentality suddenly dropped.
"Brother Wang, please forgive me. The people below are all soldiers, and now my little brother has no freedom either."
What Zuo Mengeng said was very ordinary, but Wang Weiran became jealous.
He would have liked to have such security conditions, but unfortunately he couldn't achieve it.
"Brother Zuo...the commander-in-chief is now expected to achieve great things, and he has many implication, so he cannot be careless."
Wang Weiran sat calmly and understood Zuo Mengeng's current appearance.
This peer is no longer comparable to him.
"I heard that bandits were wreaking havoc in Shanxi from the northwest, and I have been worried about Brother Wang's safety. Now that I see that Brother Wang is safe and sound, I feel relieved."
Speaking of the northwest rebel army's rampage in Shanxi, Wang Weiran felt that this was an opportunity.
"These northwest thieves are cruel and violent, killing innocent people indiscriminately, leaving corpses everywhere wherever they go. My younger brother also narrowly escaped death, and my royal family's property was completely destroyed. After learning from the pain, I asked for help from the commander-in-chief."
Wang Weiran put on a pitiful face.
"In today's troubled times, if you want to save your family business and your life, how can you not have a sharp weapon at hand? I have heard for a long time that Shandong's weapons are unparalleled in the world. Please help me, Commander-in-Chief, for the sake of our friendship."
Zuo Mengeng laughed loudly.
"Easy to talk about, what is our relationship? How could I just stand by and watch?"
He ordered Fu Yijian: "Go and get the weapon and show it to Brother Wang."
Fu Yi gradually left and returned, bringing back a musket.
Zuo Mengeng personally handed it over to Wang Weiran.
"Brother Wang, please see, with this sharp weapon, we can keep the Wang family impregnable."
Wang Weiran eagerly took the musket and only glanced at it, unable to help but feel surprised.
"Commander, this gun seems to be slightly different from the one used by your army. I have long admired the advantages of your army's weapons, so please make it easier for me."
What Zuo Mengeng showed Wang Weiran was of course a flintlock gun.
But Wang Weiran had obviously done his homework before coming, and what he wanted was a flash cap gun.
Seeing that he finally said what he was thinking, Fu Yijian, who was accompanying him, couldn't help but want to see how Zuo Mengeng would deal with it.
Anyway, many high-ranking officials in Shandong can only choose to avoid talking about it, and they don't know what Zuo Mengeng has to do.
However, Zuo Mengeng's response made Fu Yijian dumbfounded.
"Haha, Brother Wang, please forgive me. Our army's muskets are for exclusive use and cannot be passed on to others. Even this gun is enough for Brother Wang to protect our family business."
Fu Yijian and Wang Weiran had the same idea.
Can this commander-in-chief say his refusal so plainly?
Wang Weiran became angry again.
"Commander, you and I are close friends, why do you treat my little brother as an outsider?"
This statement was quite unclear and Wang Weiran was about to fall out.
Zuo Mengeng was very indifferent.
"As you say, Brother Wang is not a member of our new army. Naturally, we cannot tell anyone the secrets of our new army. Considering that Brother Wang comes from a noble family, he should know that the secrets of military aircraft must not be exposed, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."
You said I treat you as an outsider...
That's right, I just treat you as an outsider.
Wang Weiran only felt an evil fire burning from the soles of his feet to his forehead, turning himself into a ridiculous clown.
This is the first time in his life that he has met someone who speaks so straightforwardly.
But Zuo Menggeng's natural expression made people feel that he was indeed right.
Wang Weiran is so proud and arrogant, how could he just give up?
He took out his trump card.
"My younger brother came here this time to take care of the commander's needs. After going through all kinds of hardships, he raised two thousand war horses..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zuo Mengeng stopped him.
"Those war horses are pretty good, I've already accepted them. Thank you, Brother Wang, for your kindness."
Wang Weiran was stunned.
"No...I haven't..."
The words were interrupted again by Zuo Mengeng.
"Those war horses have now been sent to the army, and everyone is quite happy. It is Zuo's blessing to have a friend like Brother Wang."
Wang Weiran felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He originally planned to use these war horses as bargaining chips to negotiate with Zuo Mengeng.
But he didn't expect that Zuo Mengeng would act like a bandit and directly snatch the war horse away.
He really wanted to explode completely, point at Zuo Mengeng's nose and curse him loudly.
But looking at the guards around him who were watching eagerly, I was afraid that if he did this, he would be cut into pieces immediately.
He was wrong.
He thought too much of Zuo Mengeng.
He thought the man in front of him was reasonable.
Little did he know that the man in front of him was a bandit, even more despicable than those rogues in the northwest.
Opposite Wang Weiran, Zuo Mengeng was drinking tea honestly, not to mention how beautiful his mood was.
Wang Weiran was also a fool. He came to his territory with two thousand war horses and wanted to negotiate with him.
Isn't that the old hen giving New Year greetings to the weasel? It's delivered to the door itself.
Anyway, two thousand war horses fell into his pocket, and the construction of the cavalry took a big step forward. This is a real benefit.
As for what Wang Weiran wants...
"Brother Wang, I appreciate your kindness, so I will not treat you badly. I have specially prepared three thousand of these muskets for you, as well as the matching ammunition. With such sharp weapons in hand, the northwest bandits will be more capable.
There are so many people, but the Wang family can't help it."
He added another sentence.
"Others give me peaches and plums, and I repay them with Qiong Yao. I also ask Brother Wang to accept your kindness and kindness."
Wang Weiran didn't want to smile, he just wanted to vomit blood.
