The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter 454 'Blowing the News'

Bahrain is a liar in the eyes of outsiders. His name sounds like a Tatar, but he clearly has a Han face, but sometimes he claims to be Wangu, and sometimes he says he is a member of the party... But which ethnic group might be? Only he himself knows clearly; he said that he is a merchant, but he has no caravan or shop of his own. of.

But Bahrain has never been short of money, and the money bag in his waist is always full of bright clothes, like a cornucopia. Therefore, some people suspect that he is the eyeliner of the horse bandits, who specially provides them with clues and collects them for them. ransom.But in fact, this is all the stupid opinion of outsiders. Bahrain has a great reputation in the northwest intelligence circle. He can always get some inside information from various parties, and it is often very accurate, which attracts people to trade with him and ask him to inquire about information.

The news of the disappearance of a courier from the Kingdom of Jin to Taizhou to deliver the imperial edict was blocked by the Jin Army in every possible way and only sent spies to search for it secretly.The people of the Jin Dynasty would definitely pay a lot of money to buy it back to prevent leaks, and the people of the Song Dynasty would also spare no expense to buy it back, and other forces also wanted to know what was said in it, so as to find a way out and protect themselves in the war between Song and Jin.What is surprising is that many days have passed, but this extremely valuable information has not appeared in the intelligence transaction of any party, and no one has inquired about the whereabouts of the messenger from the Kingdom of Jin.Everyone understands that the delivery of important letters is often not through the post station, but a special messenger is sent out, and it is escorted by the army. It is not everyone who can wipe them out without anyone noticing.From the analysis of the messenger's route, everyone believed that no one could do it except the Song Army Intelligence Department and the Tatar people, but the two parties had already announced that they would buy this edict at a high price.

Just when everyone thought that this was a rumor released by someone or that it had been recovered by the Jurchens, there was a sudden news that the "edict" had fallen into Bahrain's hands.The truth about the messenger's disappearance was gradually revealed.It turned out that the group of people who delivered the edict recruited thieves while they were camping on the way.Maybe they could survive if they ran away, so they scattered and went their separate ways.And Bahrain relied on the contacts he had accumulated from walking on the grassland for many years.The horse thieves who were stealing things were soon found. After some coercion and temptation, the horse thieves also realized that they had caused a catastrophe, and took a sum of money from Bahrain and flew away!

Bahrain has been in the intelligence circle for many years. Of course, he knows that the water here is very deep. On the surface, everyone communicates with each other in a friendly manner, but in the dark, there are swords, swords, conspiracy and blood. If you are not careful, you will get involved and lead to death.And what I got this time is no better than the previous ones.But it is important information related to the situation in the Northwest. If it is released, it will cause an uproar. I don't know how many people will be killed.Looking at the attitude of the Jurchens, they will definitely get it at any cost, so Bahrain wants to get rid of it earlier, so as not to have long nights and dreams, and lose his life if he doesn't get the money.And he chose to trade in the tavern in Qinhuzhai, firstly because he wanted to sell it at a good price, and secondly because of his own safety.

No matter black or white in the world, there are rules, especially those who walk in the dark and on the tip of the knife. No matter how ruthless the Jurchens are, they dare not kill in front of everyone.Otherwise, you will never get information from any of them again. This is the rule of their business, and it is also a means of self-protection.As soon as the information comes out.The Jurchens will naturally have nothing to do when they get it. They sell their wealth and avoid disasters themselves.If you can't get it, you can only blame them for not having the capital, and you can't find it on yourself...

"Shopkeeper, there is a jar of good wine on each table, count it as mine, and get me two more dishes!" Balin walked into the tavern full of mixed flavors, and after a glance, he found a table near the fire No one was there, obviously it was for myself.He sat down carelessly, beckoned to the tavern owner.

"Okay!" The shopkeeper ordered the two waiters in the tavern to get busy serving drinks.He personally brought two dishes and brought them up with a smile on his face. He knew that he would have to eat up some dishes today.

"Thanks. The shopkeeper!"

"Thanks, bastard!"...

The tavern, which was still very dull just now, immediately resumed its hustle and bustle with the arrival of Bahrain, and the diners raised their wine bowls to greet them from the air.Bahrain also responded with a smile and drank a bowl of wine. During this time, he had already seen all kinds of people in the tavern. Apart from those acquaintances in the circle, there were also a few unfamiliar faces.But he wasn't worried, some of those acquaintances just came to join in the fun, and at the same time held the mentality of 'picking up the leak', and what happened here was equally valuable, and some people would be interested.

Those unfamiliar faces Bahrain knew that someone was inconvenient to show up, so he sent his agent to come, and he was relieved to see the one sitting in the corner.Although he covered half of his face with a fur hat, Bahrain, who had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, still recognized the man as a senior manager under Tatar Khan Miwuzhen.He knew that the Jurchens and the Tatars were at odds recently, often clashed, and did not follow the orders of the Jurchens, so he was worried that the Jurchens would attack them, so he was eager to know the attitude of the Jurchens Emperor, but to know the truth, he would naturally have to pay Great price.

And the person sitting at a table next to Balin knew it was a Jurchen at a glance. There were two men standing behind him who he recognized were spies from the Jin Army, but they did not sit at the same table. Obviously they were not of sufficient status. He is also an official like joining the army.Of course, it is impossible for them to withdraw the imperial edict for nothing, and they also have to spend real money.To Bahrain's disappointment, no Song people appeared. Those talents are big buyers who are really willing to pay. Without their participation, I would earn a lot less.

"Shopkeeper, did you bring anything?" Tatar raised his hat, kicked the leather pocket by his feet and asked with a smile

"Sir, of course!" Bahrain patted the saddle bag in his hand and replied with a smile, but his eyes glanced at the leather pocket under his feet, and he felt relieved. Even if it was just silver, there was a lot of money in it.

"Ba Gouzi, don't dawdle since you brought it!" The Jurchen beside Balin winked at the person behind him and said, the person threw the burden on the table on his back and made a 'dong' sound There was a muffled sound, and the table made of old locust wood groaned in pain.

"Master, I'll just wait for you to bid!" Balin swallowed and cupped his hands. He knows the goods, and the fact that he can make such a noise means that there must be gold in the package.However, after the two made such a fuss, the other people in the tavern were silent, and all the gold was in their pockets. They were obviously overwhelmed by the two local tyrants and did not dare to participate in it.

"Okay!" The Jurchens flicked their sleeves and stretched out their hands to Balin.

"Slow down, there's me!" The Tatar came over with a wine bowl, and also extended his hand to Bahrain.

"This..." Balin knew at a glance that the two were competing. Although there were fewer people to join in the fun, it would not be a loss to have two rich men. He simply put his sleeves together and held the hand of the other.

The tavern regained its calm all of a sudden, and all eyes were focused on Bahrain's two sleeves, but they could also see the constant squirming in it, and couldn't understand the mystery.And the faces of the three people were even more unpredictable, and Balin had a painful smile on his grinning face.The other two looked at each other with smiles on their faces, but it made people feel more ferocious, as if they were about to swallow each other.

"Why, you..." After a while, the three of them stopped moving, and Balin asked the Jurchen.

"Let's go!" The corner of the Jurchen's mouth twitched a few times, she pulled out her hand abruptly, squeezed out three words from under her teeth, and left the tavern without looking back. Obviously, he was defeated in this auction.

"Ba Gouzi, take it out!" the Tatar man said with a chuckle as he rolled up his sleeves.

"Of course, my lord, let's inspect the goods!" Balin smiled with some lingering enthusiasm and withdrew his hand, took out a yellow silk package from the bag and put it on the table, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Well, I haven't opened it!" The chief steward unwrapped the package, revealing an iron box. He picked it up and inspected it carefully. Fiddled with the pocket, and handed a small pocket to Balin.

"My lord, pay for the goods!" Balin weighed his pockets and said, the reason why he let him inspect the goods in public was to prove his innocence, to show that he had never opened the box, let alone read the contents, and even if the contents were leaked, he would have nothing to do with it. He has nothing to do with it.

"Okay!" Tatar didn't stay for long, he wrapped the iron box casually, put it in his arms, and led them away.

"Shopkeeper, all the expenses in the shop today are mine, so I won't accompany you!" Balin casually took out a piece of gold from his pocket and threw it to the shopkeeper. He left in a hurry with eyes and jokes...

"Dutong, the Tatar people evacuated Yu'erluo yesterday and moved to the depths of the grassland!" Shang Hu received the report in the temporary residence of the Intelligence Department of Dading Prefecture.

"Well, the Tatars didn't find any flaws in yesterday's transaction, right?" Shang Hu nodded as if it was unnecessary.

"Dutong, absolutely not. The people we sent are strangers. Seeing them complete the deal, Bahrain has completely disappeared from the world!" Krupp Army Ji Yiwen Zhang Feng replied.

"Okay, then our first step of the plan has been completed. The Tatars' evacuation of Yu'erlo means that they are already on guard against the Jurchens!" Shang Hu heaved a sigh of relief, and the most critical step has been completed. If the Jurchens want to persist To use troops against the Tatars, you must enter the grassland. "You can carry out the next step of the plan. You must convince the Jurchens that the Tatars have already planned to join us in the Song Dynasty!"
