The military leader was shocked when he heard the sound of a dagger piercing his body, and then hot blood gushes out of his body. He wanted to scream, but for some reason he couldn't make any sound.
He didn't even understand why Mr. Sui wanted to kill him. Didn't Mr. Sui work for Lord Sun like him?
"Do you still remember what the people you killed looked like?"
When the military leader was unconscious, he heard a voice coming from his ear.
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember. You've redeemed yourself."
The faces of the "fugitives" who died in his hands suddenly appeared in the head of the army. Their eyes were full of death, but still contained a hint of fear.
In the end, that face became his own.
This is the second time Zhao Luoyang kills someone. The first time he has to save his fourth uncle and Mr. Song, he doesn't feel much.
Although it was different this time, what people like Sun Ji did was not a pity for death. If there was no system and no encounter with Nie Shuang, these sixteen families might have been killed by Sun Ji just like those "fugitives".
People were captured.
It is unknown how many people will die as a result, and those who survive will also become military households.
In her opinion, these people deserve to be killed far more than those bandits.
It was quiet all around, except for the occasional sound of the horses' hooves.
Zhao Luoyang dragged the general's head to a shallow pit not far away, pushed the person in and buried him with dead grass and branches, and then cleaned up the blood stains along the way.
After doing this, Zhao Luoyang asked Shi Jiu in his mind: "No one noticed it, right?"
She never spoke to Shi Jiu, just to let Shi Jiu pay attention to the surrounding situation through her.
Shi Jiu said with certainty: "No. But don't move now. Wait for another half moment. The patrol will pass by again, and then they will add medicine to the forage."
Zhao Luoyang tidied his clothes, rolled up his blood-stained sleeves, lifted up his robe and stuffed it into his waist, which would make it easier to move around later.
Half a moment later, the patrolman passed by again.
Hearing the footsteps getting further and further away, Zhao Luoyang immediately walked towards the horse.
Zhao Luoyang took out the medicinal powder from the space and sprinkled it on the fodder. The horses immediately came over to eat it. There was also a pile of fodder nearby, which was obviously prepared for the horses sold to "Fuji".
Zhao Luoyang mixed in the same amount of medicinal powder according to the amount of forage.
The medicine is ready, just waiting for the horse to take it.
Moreover, the good thing about this kind of medicine is that the horse will not have an attack immediately after taking it, and by the time Sun Ji's people find out, it is already too late.
Zhao Luoyang wiped the sweat from his forehead. It took about the same time as she expected. Everything went very smoothly, so he did the second thing next.
…
Lieutenant Zheng drove the horses that were going to be sold to "Fu Ji" into the stables.
This time there were one hundred and twenty horses in total, and several boxes of spices.
"Give them fodder and water," Deputy Lieutenant Zheng ordered, "We will have to walk a long distance tomorrow morning."
After handing over these horses to "Fu Ji", they will have to send people to help "Fu Ji" to take these horses out of Minzhou immediately, so that they don't have to worry anymore.
"Fu Ji" naturally has a way to transport horses to various places smoothly.
"I don't know where Tian Fu's thing has gone," Deputy Lieutenant Zheng heard his subordinates complain, "You can't sneak out to find a woman, right? Didn't he just get a peasant woman before he came here."
Another said: "Maybe he was drunk and found a place to sleep. If I had known better, I would have let him make this trip."
"Fortunately, he prepared the fodder in advance, otherwise I would definitely find him and beat him up."
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng frowned: "Go find him. If he really goes out without authorization, let him go back to Taozhou and wait for punishment."
The subordinate responded.
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng sent the people away and then went to see the bay-red horse.
The bay horse was locked in a simple stable. When it heard the noise, it moved its hooves, but it didn't look out of the ordinary.
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng was very satisfied, Sui Ji was still somewhat capable.
After patting the bay red horse, Deputy Lieutenant Zheng turned around and prepared to go back to the house to rest. After several days of running around and sleeping in a shack in the mountains, he felt tired. He had to take a good rest. He had important things to do tomorrow.
After walking forward for a while, Deputy Lieutenant Zheng suddenly heard a crisp sound not far away, like a dead branch on the ground being stepped on.
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng immediately became alert. He held the handle of the knife at his waist and shouted: "Who?"
Then he walked forward quickly without stopping.
"it's me."
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng was about to take action when he saw a familiar face, that was Sui Ji.
It's so late, why is Sui Yi here?
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng's hand was still holding the handle of the knife tightly, and he frowned and looked at Sui Ji carefully: "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Luoyang was carrying a light baggage with a very calm expression: "I'm waiting for Mr. Zheng here. Can you go to my room and say a few words? I have prepared some things for you."
Zhao Luoyang said and gently lifted the bundle in his hand.
Lieutenant Zheng looked at Sui Yi with a flattering look, quite like those merchants who were asking for convenience from him. He immediately understood something. This merchant wanted to win over him.
Maybe others don't know it, but as Sun Ji's confidant, Deputy Lieutenant Zheng has a clear grasp of "Fu Ji". Behind "Fu Ji" is the Feng family. Who doesn't want to be involved with the "Feng family"?
What's more, the Sui Ji in front of me is actually a woman.
Lieutenant Zheng will not worry about what a woman can do to him.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Deputy Lieutenant Zheng nodded: "Let's go!"
Zhao Luoyang said no more, and the two of them entered the room where Zhao Luoyang was resting one after another.
Under the dim light, Zhao Luoyang opened the bag and revealed the tea bricks inside.
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng showed a bit of surprise on his face, pretending not to know anything: "Mr. Sui, what are you doing?"
Zhao Luoyang said: "Master Zheng, would you like to take a look at this tea brick?"
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng's eyes fell on the tea bricks. This was the favorite thing of the feudal merchants, even better than brocade and porcelain. Especially in recent years, those feudal merchants were used to drinking their tea, and they would feel uncomfortable if they did not drink it for a day.
Mr. Sun also thought about asking his people to collect the tea leaves and transport them back to Taozhou. However, this kind of high-quality tea bricks had long been in the hands of the high-ranking officials in the court.
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng also wanted to know the benefits of "Fuji" tea bricks.
Putting his hand to the tea brick and putting it to his nose, Deputy Zheng immediately smelled a mellow aroma. If he distinguished it carefully, he could smell something similar to pine smoke.
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng's eyes lit up, this is good tea.
Zhao Luoyang saw Deputy Lieutenant Zheng's expression in his eyes. The tea bricks on the table were redeemed by her from the system. She didn't understand tea before, but after reading the information and documents provided by the system, she roughly understood
It was determined that the special-grade Fu bricks costing 423 yuan/half a kilogram were better than the tea bricks that the Qin family found for her.
There are nearly ten kilograms of tea bricks on the table right now, which really cost a lot of money.
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng put down the brick of tea after a long while and looked at Zhao Luoyang again: "Master Sui, what do you mean?"
"These are all for Mr. Zheng."
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng was about to speak when Zhao Luoyang waved his hand: "That's not all. The steward also left a box of tea bricks like this for Master Zheng. 'Fuji' has no other meaning. Master Zheng is young and has a bright future.
'Fuji' often travels between the north and the south, so he will inevitably have trouble visiting Mr. Zheng's place, so please help him."
This statement has quite a profound meaning.
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng was very happy that "Fu Ji" took a fancy to him, so he would try to win over him. Maybe when Mr. Sun gets old, the Feng family would be willing to help him become a leader.
"This," Deputy Lieutenant Zheng said, "isn't very good. Besides, Mr. Sun is here..."
"You can't ask Lord Sun for everything," Zhao Luoyang said, "Don't you think so? Lord Zheng, don't worry, no one else will know what we say today, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to Lord Sun."
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng couldn't hide the smile on his face and subconsciously moved his hand away from the handle of the knife.
Zhao Luoyang tied the baggage again and pushed it to Deputy Lieutenant Zheng: "Sir, it's getting late. You have to go back and have a good rest. If there is anything we need to do in the future, please just ask."
Zhao Luoyang smiled slightly as he spoke, stretched out his hand to pour a cup of hot tea for Deputy Lieutenant Zheng, and then brought it to Deputy Lieutenant Zheng with his own hands.
Under the light, that heroic brow seemed to be glowing with a layer of porcelain white light.
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng was distracted for a moment. After a moment, he reached out and picked up the tea.
The aroma of tea overflowed, and Deputy Lieutenant Zheng lowered his head and took a few sips.
It is indeed good tea, but it has a different taste. Maybe the water here is too hard and is really not suitable for making tea.
After drinking the tea in his hand, Deputy Lieutenant Zheng stood up and left.
Zhao Luoyang stood aside and bowed to see Deputy Lieutenant Zheng out.
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng kept thinking about what happened tonight, like a great happy event falling from the sky, and he has not come back to his senses until now.
"Sir, there is one more thing I want to tell you."
As soon as Deputy Lieutenant Zheng stopped, he was about to turn around. At this moment, Sui Ji's voice was almost indistinguishable from the sound of breaking through the air.
When Deputy Lieutenant Zheng heard this, he wanted to dodge, but it was too late. He felt a pain in his waist and something stuck into it.
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng has practiced martial arts all year round, so he was naturally different from ordinary people. He reached out his hand to touch it away neatly. What he didn't expect was that Sui in front of him seemed to have expected it in advance.
A long knife blocked his arm.
Deputy Lieutenant Zheng's face was full of surprise. What surprised him even more was that his eyes suddenly turned black and his body suddenly lost strength.
