There was a crowd of people outside the carriage and horse shop's gate. The caravan brothers guarded the gate, apparently not letting the officers and soldiers in. Since ancient times, shop owners have bullied customers and bullied their customers. The caravan brothers knew that there were only a thousand officers and soldiers in the city.
They didn't take them seriously at all. Under normal circumstances, the brothers in the caravan would not dare to do this no matter how brave they were. But now, there are only so many officers and soldiers in the city, and the thousand elites led by Zhu Si are not far from the city.
If a riot really breaks out, they are fully capable of occupying the city.
Zhu Tianjiang and others were stunned. They looked at the officers and soldiers, as if they were trying to catch thieves.
"Xia Qing, come over and see what's going on?" Zhu Tianjiang stopped the carriage and asked Xia Qing to ride over and have a look.
When the brothers in the caravan saw Xia Qing, they knew that Zhu Tianjiang must have returned here, and all the brothers became more energetic.
"Manager Xia, these officers and soldiers are bullying people and want to take away our goods by force." A brother shouted loudly.
Xia Qing frowned, "What's going on?"
"Some local gangsters came just now and asked us to pay five loads of tea. When we refused, a conflict broke out. After the gangsters were beaten away, a group of officers and soldiers came and said that there were spies from Dafeng hiding in our convoy.
Our No. 1 car was to be forcibly taken away as a deposit, and our young boss was asked to go to the tax office to make an explanation. We refused to let the car be taken away, so the two sides started fighting~!" a brother said in detail.
Xia Qing understood as soon as he heard that the other party was trying to extort some benefits, but in the end, he didn't get any benefits and even kicked a stone. Most of the brothers in the caravan were Zhu Tianjiang's personal guards. In the Dafeng Dynasty, even the third-rank officials were
If you don't buy it, let alone the tax difference in the Tianqing Kingdom. Besides, the No. 1 vehicle this brother mentioned is a gun carriage, and it is impossible for them to take it away.
A leader of the other party saw Xia Qing's aura and knew that the person in charge was coming, "Your caravan dares to beat the officials, this is like a rebellion. Why don't you go to the Yamen with us today to explain it clearly, be careful if the city lord gives you an order."
There is no return.”
Xia Qing sneered. From Zhu Er's mouth, he knew that these so-called yamen were all set up personally by the city lord Yelusak. The city lords of Tianqing Kingdom were different from the governors of the Dafeng Dynasty. They regarded the city as their private territory. Even
The yamen established were all learned from Dafeng. People like Zhu Tianjiang had just finished their meeting with Yelu Doha, so it was not a problem to scare these little minions.
"Listen, my young master's family has just had a friendly meeting with Miss Yelu. If you don't want to make things look bad, I advise you to withdraw your troops and return to the Yamen." Xia Qing carried Yelu Doha out.
When the little leader heard this, he was really shocked. Miss Yelu was responsible for all the business of the Yelu Sak family, and was the master of these tax collectors. But just walking away in such a dejected way, these people felt that it was too much.
lose face.
These officials secretly instigated the local gangsters in Kecheng, and they wanted to extort a few loads of tea. Ordinary Dafeng caravans would not engage in violent warfare in order to avoid causing trouble. Who would have thought that they would be kicked on the iron plate today? Several gangsters suddenly
In a one-on-one duel, he was beaten to pieces. His minions were beaten, and the tax collectors had to come to the door in person. Unexpectedly, more than a dozen tax collectors were thrown out. In this way, the tax collectors invited patrol officers and soldiers to help, and prepared to punish them.
A serious blackmail.
"Humph, the eldest lady never receives caravans, so don't use the eldest lady to scare people." The leader shouted in a sullen tone.
Just as Xia Qing was about to speak, he saw a dark shadow flash, and a bearded man flashed out from the shadow. Xia Qing saw that the other party was agile and instantly pulled out three money darts from his sleeves.
The big man glanced at Xia Qing, and instead shouted to the tense officers and soldiers, "Bold! This caravan is a distinguished guest of the eldest lady, and no one is allowed to harass it. Otherwise, the city will deal with it."
When the leaders of the tax office and the patrol saw the person's attire, they couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts. The other person was wearing the uniform of the city lord's personal guard, and the waist knife he wore was a flower-carved full-moon scimitar. Except for Miss Yelu's bodyguards in this kind of attire,
, there is no other home in Kecheng.
The several leaders looked at each other and quickly ordered to put away their weapons and go back where they should. The bearded man glanced at Xia Qing, turned around and walked towards Zhu Tianjiang's carriage not far away.
"Mr. Zhu, my eldest lady said that if someone comes to make trouble in the city, please report the eldest lady's name. However, I hope that Mr. Zhu will not leave this city before the deal is finalized."
Zhu Tianjiang opened the car curtain and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Miss. Of course I won't leave until the sale is over. However, please tell Miss, my patience is also limited."
The big man with the fried beard nodded, turned around and slowly disappeared into the night. Zhu Tianjiang said to his heart that this fat girl was quite scheming. No wonder such a big stall was entrusted to her to manage, and she actually knew how to send someone to follow him.
As soon as the officers and soldiers withdrew, Zhu Tianjiang's cart drove into the yard. The owner of the carriage shop hurriedly greeted him with a smile. He didn't expect that this caravan actually had contact with Miss Yelu. Zhu Tianjiang didn't bother to talk nonsense to him.
Just ask Zhu Er to send this boss away.
As soon as everyone entered the hall, Lin Feng's figure also appeared at the door. Lin Feng had been following him secretly tonight. Ever since Zhu Tianlai left the trading house, Lin Feng discovered that there were four shadows following him secretly. But the other party was just following, so
Lin Feng did not take action.
"Tiansheng, I'm afraid our place has been monitored. How about it, have you reached an agreement with the city lord's granddaughter?" Lin Feng asked.
Zhu Tianjiang smiled slightly, "It is estimated that the city lord will meet me tomorrow. The civil war in Tianqing is tense. I offer sophisticated weapons as a condition. No one can resist the temptation."
"Why, you want to sell them weapons?" Lin Feng was startled.
"I don't have that spare time. If I have weapons, I will recruit troops." Zhu Tianjiang said with a smile.
"Then you are not afraid of angering the city lord by doing this?" Lin Feng looked at Zhu Tianjiang doubtfully.
Not only Lin Feng, but also others are thinking about this matter. If Yelv Yishak is angered, then this city will be the first battle for their Tianqing Kingdom. But Emperor Chengwu asked Zhu Tianjiang to help
The Yangjin clan is not here to harm them.
Zhu Tianjiang's face also became serious, "The soldiers are moving dangerously, and the sword is on the wrong side. If you want to gain the trust of the Yangjin clan, this is an opportunity. Gecheng is the first city to enter Dafeng, so it should be very important.
Strategic location. The fact that Lord Azure can hand over such an important position to Yelusak fully demonstrates his trust in him. If Yelusak can build this bridge, we will get twice the result with half the effort."
"Then what if Yelusak doesn't agree, or directly orders the arrest of the master?" Zhu Yi asked seriously.
Zhu Tianjiang glanced at everyone and guessed that everyone was worried about this issue.
"Master and brothers, we are currently facing an excellent opportunity. The king's capital has almost mobilized its troops and horses. In addition to the city's lord's guards, I estimate that there will be no more than 1,500 people. If the negotiation breaks down, we
There are 4,000 Zhu warriors outside the city, plus a hundred brothers from our caravan inside the city, we can definitely take the city."
Zhu Tianjiang said, snorted coldly and continued, "Huh, this layout of the Tianqing Kingdom is a bit arrogant. They set up an empty city here. It is obvious that they look down on Dafeng and feel that Dafeng does not dare to take the opportunity to launch an attack.
.In addition, Zhou Yantian also relies on Tianqing Kingdom to suppress Dafeng, and he will not send troops to attack Gecheng. Therefore, Gecheng dares to transfer troops to the royal capital. But for us, it is a rare opportunity
.”
"Tianxiang, are you going to reveal your identity to Yelusak?" Lin Feng asked cautiously.
"Yes, not only will I tell him my true identity, but I will also tell him that I have led a large army into the Tianqing Kingdom. If the Yangjin clan does not cooperate with Dafeng, then I will help the Wu clan to destroy the royal capital.
I believe that Yelu Sak has the battle report from the royal capital. The harder the Uzbek people press, the more he will have to help us convince Tianqing King Yelucha." After Zhu Tianjiang finished speaking, he looked at everyone with confidence.
Lin Feng and others felt that what Zhu Tianjiang said made sense, but in actual implementation, it was a crisis every step of the way. Because the Tianqing Kingdom would not believe Dafeng's sincerity, and Zhu Tianjiang's fictional army was only a thousand.
Centaur.
In the back hall of the trading house, as soon as Zhu Tianjiang left, the heavyweight Miss Yelu gave some instructions and immediately rushed to the castle where the city lord lived.
Although Yelu Doha has an impressive figure, he is very shrewd in mind. Otherwise, he would not have stayed away from the Wangdu clan and followed his grandfather to Kecheng to take charge of business and finance.
Inside the castle, Yelu Doha didn't need to say much. He took out Zhu Yi's saber and asked people to do a few simple tests, which shocked the city lord Yelu Sak.
"Yuanyuan, you mean that Dafeng merchant has such a batch of weapons?" Yelusak called his granddaughter by her nickname and looked at her in disbelief.
"Grandpa, I don't really believe it either. But since the other party dares to say that, he should have some confidence. Moreover, he insists on discussing with you in person, so it seems that he has something to rely on."
"Where did the other party come from? Have you found out?" Yelusak asked carefully, squinting his old eyes.
"It is said that they are a caravan from Pengcheng, Dafeng. The young master's name is Zhu Tian'er. I have sent people to monitor them."
"Zhu~tian~er?" Yelu Sak muttered each word, and began to think in his mind, "Yuanyuan, is there anyone from the famous Dafeng family with the surname Zhu? Why haven't I heard of it?" Yelu Sak said.
Sack knew that if he dared to smuggle arms, the other party must be a wealthy and famous family to dare to do so. Ordinary families simply do not have the strength, let alone the courage.
Yelu Doha sat on a mahogany couch that creaked loudly, but there was a strange smile on his face.
"Grandpa, according to our Tianqing's information, there were not many celebrities and trade names named Zhu in the Dafeng Dynasty. According to my granddaughter's memory, there seems to be only one famous person named Zhu Tianjiang."
"Zhu Tianjiang!" Yelusak was stunned and continued to mutter, "Zhu Tian'er? They can't be our brothers, right?"
"No, as far as I know, Zhu Tianjiang is alone, with no parents or brothers or sisters." Yelu Doha shook his head and said.
Yelusak's expression changed, "Could it be that that person was sent by Zhu Tianjiang!"
Zhu Tianjiang's name has long been spread throughout Tianqing's senior management, and he has even been listed as a potential opponent by King Tianqing, because Zhu Tianjiang's existence is definitely an obstacle to Tianqing's march south to capture Dafeng.
"Haha, grandpa, don't be nervous. So what if he is sent by Zhu Tianjiang? He has become the kumiss in our hands. You can drink it if you want. However, I suspect that they are from another 'Zhumen' sect."
People who come."
"Another family? Who else can compare with Zhu Tianjiang?" Yelusak looked at his granddaughter strangely.
"Grandpa, don't forget that there is a Zhuji Silver Tower in Dafeng Shutian. With their financial resources, smuggling a batch of weapons is not a problem at all. Besides, it is rumored that the Zhuji Silver Tower is the property of the fourth prince Xuanzhu. This is the only one.
Only His Highness the Prince can secretly transport weapons from the weaving place. Therefore, my granddaughter even more suspects that these people are sent by Xuanzhu."
"Dafeng and Tianqing are incompatible with each other. As a prince, we will never do this." Yelusak shook his head and said.
"Grandpa, don't forget, Xuanzhu is only the prince at present, not the heir apparent. If you want to compete for this position, it is impossible without certain financial resources and manpower. Taking advantage of our Tianqing civil war, it is not impossible for Xuanzhu to make some unexpected wealth.
.”
"Hmph, whether it's Zhu Tianjiang or Xuanzhu. Now that they're here, we can't let them get out alive." Yelusak said coldly.
"Grandpa, you are wrong. In fact, my granddaughter thinks that no matter who sends the people, as long as they have weapons in their hands, we can cooperate with them. They are for wealth, but we are for the fate of the Yangjin clan
.With this batch of sophisticated weapons, the men in our clan can kill a few more Uzbek rebels." Yelu Doha said, with a cold light in his eyes.
Yelusak nodded and couldn't help but admire his granddaughter's foresight. Currently, the war in the royal capital is tense, and Yelucha has the idea of abandoning the royal capital. If the Yangjin clan is defeated, all the clan members will become slaves of the Wu clan. This point,
This is something no Yangjin clan member wants to see.
"Yuanyuan, inform the shopkeeper Zhu and bring him to the castle tomorrow. I will discuss the matter with him personally."
"Wait a minute!" Yelu Douha stopped Grandpa and continued, "Grandpa, today my granddaughter suddenly had a feeling that Mr. Zhu~ is Zhu Tianjiang himself."
Yelusak trembled with fright. Good guy, if Zhu Tianjiang, the famous general who was powerful in Dafeng, came to his city, wouldn't it mean that Dafeng would take the opportunity to attack?
