Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 130 - 128

late at night.

Zhang Qi, who lived in the same room with Zhen Wu, sighed from time to time, tossed and turned from time to time, and finally couldn't lie down anymore, and sat up on the bed.

Finally, Zhen Wu couldn't help it, got up from the bed, got out of bed in the dark, sat down on Zhang Qi's bed, and asked: "What's the matter? Ever since you walked around with Alutai during the day, you have become like this." look."

In the dark night, Zhang Qi's voice sounded softly.

"Zhen Wu, did you send someone to make a deal with the Mongols?"

Ok?
Zhen Wu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

However, in the dark, Zhang Qi didn't notice Zhen Wu's strangeness, he was still talking to himself: "Actually, the common people do a little business with the Mongolians to earn some hard money to support their families. I also understand that life is not easy. Well, it’s okay to come to the frontier to gain wealth, but you must not go too far in dealing with the Mongols.”

"What happened?" Zhen Wu asked.

"Today I discovered that the stirrups of many tribes in Azashili are made of iron." After Zhang Qi finished speaking, she asked Zhen Wu seriously: "Do you know the difference between iron and wooden stirrups? It can increase the number of Mongols. Half of the combat power, and do you know how many armors Azashili has now? In just two years, it has changed from [-] armors to at least [-] armors. Thirty thousand, can you imagine what it will be like in a few years? ?"

Zhen Wu dare not imagine.

Zhang Qi was still full of righteous indignation and said: "Why do I keep arresting those caravans? Because there are always some caravans who can't tell the big picture, and dare to sell anything to the Mongols for their own self-interest. How dare they sell iron? I wonder if the Mongols will make swords and kill our Ming people after selling ironware to the Mongols?"

"They know, how could they not know, they are all my great Ming dignitaries, how could they not know!"

As he was talking, Zhang Qi was choked up, and he was no longer as frivolous as he was before: "Tell me, what is the difference between sending iron tools to the Mongols and slaughtering our border soldiers? Our Han family has been subjected to these things since ancient times. Isn’t the lesson of alien harassment not enough?”

enough!
This word resolutely flashed in Zhen Wu's heart. Those injuries were enough for this nation, but since ancient times, intrigues and factions among the Han people have always been unavoidable, and they will always give opportunities to other races.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu said softly, "Do you know why you were falsely accused?"

"I know, I just want me to stay out of trouble, and to tell you the truth, if they don't mess with me, not only Qinghe Pass, but also any pass leading to Tainingwei, I dare to investigate, as long as I find it, Don't even think about entering Tainingwei with any iron."

Zhen Wu nodded understandingly and said, "When I first came to Tieling Guard, I saw Duke Liang's caravan. The scale was bigger than I thought."

Zhang Qi sneered: "I thought of this, but how big is it, let's talk about it."

Zhen Wu briefly described it to Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi's face sank suddenly. He didn't know what happened to him in the dark night, but he didn't care about the pain, and asked excitedly, "Is what you just said true? Are there really so many cars?"

Zhen Wu immediately realized that Zhang Qi might have never seen such a large-scale caravan before, so he nodded solemnly and said: "I confirm, I saw it with my own eyes."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a while, Zhang Qi's voice sounded.

"Can you protect yourself?"

"what are you going to do?"

Zhang Qi gritted her teeth and said: "I want to wait for the people from Qingheguan to come, and lead them to catch up to see if I can catch up. I know their route, and I didn't dare to push them too hard in the past, but this time if they Such a large scale is definitely not as simple as just trading with Azashili, Azashili can't eat it, and there must be no more hero on this grassland."

"then you go."

"How do you protect yourself?" Zhang Qi's voice was a little surprised.

Zhen Wu said with a smile: "Actually, when you sent people to inform the people in Qinghe Pass, I also sent people to Beiping Capital Division to ask for help. To be honest, after going around Liaodong, the entire Liaodong Capital Division, I didn't know them. Dare to believe, at most I will believe you a little bit."

"I thank you for your trust, but I didn't expect that there are people I don't know about you every day under my nose."

"It's better to be more prepared when you go out."

"No wonder, at such a young age, His Royal Highness Yan Wang will send you to do this kind of thing. Not only that, but you can also do a job with ease among the people of various Mongolian tribes. I have to let me give you a high look. Are you interested in coming to Tieling Guard? I Find someone important in the King of Yan, and I will directly arrange for you to be deputy Qianhu, and we will be partners."

"I'm not interested, your temple is too small." Zhen Wu directly refused without a word.

The next moment, a clear and brief sentence resounded in the room.

"Fuck."

……

In the following weather, the wind and cloud changed suddenly, and snowflakes like goose feathers began to fall from the sky profusely.

The day after Zhang Qi left with the people from Qinghe Pass.

In Baicheng, a piece of news shocked everyone's minds.

Chahan is dead.

People from all the Mongolian tribes were surprised and asked questions.

"Chahan is dead? Who did it?"

"How could he die? How could he die in Baicheng!"

"Are you sure it was Chahan who died, not the hundred households of King Yan?"

……

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Chahan's residence, and at the same time, people from various ministries began to rush to Chahan's place to inquire about the situation.

And at Chahan, in a secret room.

Zhang Quan stared at the kneeling people in front of him with a gloomy face.

The person kneeling at the very front trembled like a sieve, and said in fear: "Master, I really don't know what's going on, I promise that my eyes have never left Master Hou's diet for a moment."

"Then why is there poison in his drink? And you are still alive and well? Come and give me an explanation." Zhang Quan's furious voice shook everyone's heart.

"I really don't know. I have been with Lord Hou since I was a child, and I will definitely not harm him. If you don't believe me, ask them, they are all guarding the food with me."

Zhang Quan's eyes swept over, and the other kneeling people trembled in fright, and one by one quickly opened their mouths, explaining that they had never left or poisoned.

"Heh, that's weird, so who the hell will tell me how Chahan died? Who poisoned him?!" Zhang Quan was furious, and began to whip the whip at the person in front of him.

Those people didn't dare to avoid it, and everyone suffered from it.

Zhao Jinhu walked in from the outside at this time: "Commander Zhang, go ahead and have a look."

"What else can happen ahead?!" Zhang Quan turned his head furiously, like a lion about to lose his mind.

"Azashili and people from various Mongolian tribes have come here, and no one is in charge of the overall situation."

"Where's Zhen Wu?" Zhang Quan asked angrily.

"It's still under our monitoring and hasn't left the room."

"You said, did he kill Chahan?"

Zhao Jinhu shook his head, then nodded again: "I don't know, but it should be!"

"Fuck, a bunch of trash." Zhang Quan flicked his sleeves angrily, strode out the door, and headed forward.

It's impossible to let this matter go.
