Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Facing Zhu Biao's worries, Ouyang Lun smiled slightly, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have made arrangements, and Zhou An will definitely be able to complete the task."

After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, Zhu Biao and other generals and princes could not help but become curious. They all knew very well that Ouyang Lun was not a person who would talk big out of thin air. Since Ouyang Lun dared to say this, he must have found a way to win.

"Brother-in-law, since you have an idea, why don't you tell me? Don't worry, I will never leak it!"

Zhu Biao spoke quickly.

Other generals and princes also moved forward curiously, pricked up their ears, afraid of missing anything.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. This is the highest military secret of our army. I'm sorry I can't disclose it to you." Ouyang Lun shook his head firmly.

Forehead.
Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Biao was also stunned, "Brother-in-law, can't you even tell me? I am the supreme commander of this army!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. As the saying goes, secrets are the key to success. This involves more than 4,000 of the most elite cavalrymen of the Ming Dynasty. Before Zhou An and his men complete their mission, I have no choice but to protect this secret!"

Ouyang Lun still shook his head.

"Okay." Seeing Ouyang Lun's firm attitude, Zhu Biao could only nod helplessly.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty." Ouyang Lun nodded.

Zhou An led more than 4,000 cavalrymen under his command and marched on the road in a mighty manner.

"General, Ouyang Lun clearly wanted to make things difficult for us, why didn't we resist?!"

"That's right. Although we didn't complete the mission, we did defeat 3,000 Northern Yuan cavalry head-on. It's unprecedented in the history of the Ming Dynasty that we defeated the Northern Yuan cavalry with fewer troops. Only General Zhou led us to do it!"

"I was scared when I saw Ouyang Lun praising us just now. How could a treacherous minister like him praise us? There must be a conspiracy! As expected, he asked us to attack the Northern Yuan army again!"

"It was already too much for them to ask us to fight against the 10,000 Northern Yuan cavalry vanguards. Now they want us to provoke the Northern Yuan army camp. That's hundreds of thousands of troops! And we are only 4,000 people!"

"We have used up all our supplies, and we haven't been given any replenishment!"

Listening to the muttering complaints of his soldiers, Zhou An frowned. He was well aware of the danger of attacking again. He even regretted that for the sake of the so-called dignity of the Huaixi people, he did not yield to Ouyang Lun and rashly accepted this mission again.

But now that the mission has been accepted, it is impossible for Zhou An to return with the troops, as that would make him a real deserter.

The mission must be completed, but his troops now need a wave of supplies. The cavalry's spears, horses, armor, arrows, etc. are all consumables. Without supplies, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

He couldn't regret it now, so Zhou An planned to see if he could kill the Northern Yuan cavalry first and get some supplies.

Just at this moment, the men came to report.

"General, a convoy has been spotted ahead!"

"Are they from the Northern Yuan Dynasty?" Zhou An asked hurriedly.

"No, it looks like a merchant caravan, or maybe it's Military Advisor Ouyang's caravan." The soldier reported hurriedly.

"Military Advisor Ouyang's? How do you know?" Zhou An asked puzzledly.

"There are three words 'Ouyang Lun' hanging on the caravan, isn't that it!" the soldier explained.

Hearing this, Zhou An asked in a deep voice: "A fleet with Ouyang Lun's name on it?! What are the things on these vehicles? Have you seen them?"

"To reply to the general, the distance was a bit far and the light was not good, so I couldn't see clearly. However, the car was full, so there must be a lot of things!" the soldier said truthfully.

"A convoy transported in the name of a private person must not be the logistical supplies of the army. This is a grassland, so there is only one possibility! This is the smuggled goods of Ouyang Lun!"

After Zhou An analyzed the situation, he became excited. "Great! Ouyang Lun is a treacherous minister. We are fighting desperately on the front line, but he is secretly smuggling! He is making a fortune from the national crisis!"

"No! We have to seize this convoy and use it as evidence that Ouyang Lun is smuggling and making money from the national crisis. With this evidence, let's see how Ouyang Lun dares to argue!"

"We can make sure that traitor Ouyang Lun is completely destroyed!!"

Hearing Zhou An's words, the soldiers around him also became excited.

"General, what are you waiting for? Let's act now. If we are late, the convoy will be far away! This is important evidence to bring down the treacherous minister Ouyang Lun!"

"Yes, we must act quickly. This caravan of theirs doesn't even have guards. They are most likely colluding with the Northern Yuan. If we arrest those caravan members, we can also find evidence of Ouyang Lun's secret dealings with the Northern Yuan. The evidence is irrefutable. By then, even if the emperor and the emperor want to protect Ouyang Lun, it will be too late!"

"We are going to make a great contribution now!"

"Okay, brothers, follow me!" After saying that, Zhou An led his cavalry and rushed towards the convoy.

This is the convoy with Ouyang Lun's name on it.

"Boss, why are we going around in circles here?"

"This place is very close to the Northern Yuan army. If we are encountered by them, we will be doomed!"

The shopkeeper and his clerk were driving several carts of supplies on a quiet road. The clerk looked at the surroundings carefully and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"You ask me, who should I ask?!"

"This is arranged by our boss. We just need to follow this route and keep making circles!"

The man who looked like a shopkeeper spoke.

"The boss's arrangement is really weird. He actually made me keep going around in circles here. How weird!" The clerk muttered, "Boss, what should we do if we encounter government soldiers and the Northern Yuan army?"

"Don't worry about this. Everything has been arranged. For example, if we encounter the Northern Yuan army, we can show them this seal. With this seal, the Northern Yuan army will not make things difficult for us!" said the shopkeeper, taking out an iron eagle seal.

"I didn't expect our boss to be so powerful that he can even talk to the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty! Isn't our Ming Dynasty fighting with the Northern Yuan Dynasty now? How is it possible that we can still talk to them?" the waiter sighed.

"How can we common people understand the affairs of the upper class? We are already very grateful to the boss for making such arrangements. Otherwise, if the people of Beiyuan saw us, we would probably die a thousand times!" said the shopkeeper.

"Boss, we don't have to worry about the Northern Yuan Dynasty as long as we have this seal, but what if we are caught by the Ming army? We might be charged with treason and our entire clan would be exterminated!" the clerk said in horror.

"If we encounter our Ming army, it will be even simpler. It is said above that if we encounter a Ming cavalry flying the Zhou flag, we should not hesitate and just turn around and run!" The shopkeeper continued: "If we encounter other Ming troops, we should not panic at all. Just rely on the three big characters "Ouyang Lun" hanging above our heads, no one will dare to provoke us!" "Shopkeeper, it has to be you, that makes sense!" The clerk nodded repeatedly, "We are the people of Prince Consort Ouyang. Who dares to touch Prince Consort Ouyang Lun's people and things these days!!"

"Not bad, not bad, you are on to something!" The shopkeeper nodded with a smile, "I think you are smart. After I go back this time, I will train you well. Maybe in the future you can become a shopkeeper who can stand on your own!"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he found that the waiter did not respond to him, which made him very unhappy. "What? Are you still not satisfied? Let me tell you, there are so many people who want to learn from me, but I still don't care. If it weren't for the fact that you are a distant relative of my wife's family, I..."

"Boss, look quickly, isn't that the cavalry troops flying Zhou's flag?"

The guy said tremblingly.

As he spoke, the ground began to shake, and the carriage shook as well.

"Fuck!"

"Really? Run!!"

The shopkeeper turned pale with fright and jumped off the carriage. He swiftly ran into the bushes beside him as a monkey and disappeared. The waiter was also fast and followed the shopkeeper in fleeing.

A moment later, Zhou An led the cavalry to surround the entire convoy.

"General, the man ran away!"

"But we have this flag, plus the cargo on the truck, which is enough to convict Ouyang Lun of smuggling!"

"In addition, I also picked up this. This seal is the seal of a noble of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. It is enough to prove that Ouyang Lun has ties with the Northern Yuan Dynasty!"

Listening to his subordinates' report, Zhou An was furious. "Ouyang Lun, you are a traitor who betrayed the country and harmed the loyal officials!"

"Come here, open the cargo on this car. This general wants to see what's on it!"

"Yes!"

Following Zhou An's order, the soldiers rushed forward and opened all the cargo on the vehicle. What appeared in front of Zhou An and the soldiers were brand new sets of armor, crossbows, alloy spears and various supplies!
"These are all military supplies!!"

"Ouyang Lun is such a treacherous minister that he even dared to smuggle military supplies. This is definitely a heinous crime that warrants the extermination of all nine generations of his clan!"

"General, now we just need to pull these supplies back to the barracks, and then we can report Ouyang Lun in front of the Emperor!"

"These evidences are enough to make Ouyang Lun, the traitor, die thousands of times!"

Hearing what his men said, Zhou An frowned, then shook his head, "No! Because the people transporting this batch of supplies ran away, we don't have any witnesses, Ouyang Lun will definitely argue that we framed him, and he will also say that we did this because we were afraid of fighting!"

"By that time, we will be bitten back!"

"General, what should we do? If we let Ouyang Lun go, this will be the best chance to bring him down!" his deputy general said hurriedly.

"We can't bring down Ouyang Lun by ourselves. To deal with this treacherous minister, we have to ask Prime Minister Li and General Lan to come. We just need to keep these evidences!" Zhou Bao paused for a moment, then spoke again, "Besides, we can use these supplies to deal with the Northern Yuan people!"

"As long as we can survive, we will have a chance to defeat Ouyang Lun!!"

"General, what you said makes sense! I think these supplies are quite suitable for us!" The deputy general nodded.

"They are all the property of the Ming Dynasty, but they were embezzled by the treacherous minister Ouyang Lun!" Zhou An waved his hand, "Pass my order, all brothers, quickly change your equipment! These are all good stuff!"

"Yes!"

More than 4,000 cavalrymen immediately began to change their equipment.

About half an hour later, more than 4,000 cavalrymen who had changed their clothes appeared in front of Zhou An. Seeing the more than 4,000 cavalrymen in front of him, Zhou An couldn't help rubbing his eyes. He even thought he was seeing things!
Are these still his cavalry?

Wearing all-alloy steel armor with a full-face mask, a light and sharp alloy spear, a crossbow that fires continuously! And an alloy sword!!
Not only soldiers have it, but horses too!
The cavalrymen who had put on new equipment were also quite excited at this moment.

"General, these equipments are really great!"

"Even though we are wearing so much, it is not heavy at all. It is even lighter than the ordinary armor we wear, but it cannot be penetrated by swords and guns with average defense power!"

"With this equipment, I can defeat even ten thousand Beiyuan cavalrymen!"

"General, let's go fight the Northern Yuan cavalry. I feel incredibly strong now!"

"General, here's another set of general-style ones!"

Just as Zhou An was envious, a soldier brought him a set of armor. When Zhou An saw the armor, his eyes lit up.

This top-grade armor for generals is made of alloy. It glows with a cold light, as if it can swallow all light. A lifelike Qilin is carved on the chest of the armor. The scales of the Qilin are layered, and each scale is meticulously crafted, as if it will jump out of the armor at any time. The eyes of the Qilin are inlaid with two deep red gems, like burning flames, revealing a sense of majesty and murderousness.

The shoulder armor of the armor is high up, shaped like a tiger's claws, with golden patterns inlaid on the edges, and the patterns are winding like a dragon, symbolizing the general's supreme authority!
The waist of the armor was tied with a wide belt, which was inlaid with several dazzling sapphires, and the gems were surrounded by delicate cloud patterns. The hem of the armor was made up of hundreds of tiny armor plates, each of which had been tempered and was extremely hard, yet flexible, and did not affect the general's movements at all.

The back of the entire set of armor is covered with a scarlet cloak, which is embroidered with golden dragon and phoenix patterns. The dragon and phoenix are intertwined, and when the cloak flutters in the wind, it seems as if there is flame burning around the armor, which is daunting.

This set of armor is not only indestructible and has superior defensive capabilities, but also its gorgeous and majestic design demonstrates the general's supreme glory and dominance.

Zhou An felt that as long as he put it on, he would be able to transform into a god of war on the battlefield, unstoppable and unbeatable.

Zhou An put on the armor without any hesitation. It fit him surprisingly well. After his soldiers saw Zhou An after changing into the armor, their eyes became even more awed!
"General, you are so majestic!"

"General, this armor is tailor-made for you!"

"Although Ouyang Lun is a treacherous minister, his armor-making skills are really strong!"

The soldiers couldn't help but praise him.

"A traitor is a traitor!"

"Let's go, kill the enemy first, and then settle the score with Ouyang Lun!!" (End of this chapter)
