The little medical concubine

Chapter 252 Weapons
Qi Yanling is actually not very good at doing business. The reason why she can have today's business and wealth is because she knows how to use people. Like Li Hua and Wu Xian, they were just ordinary shopkeepers and accountants, but she prefers It will allow them to display their talents more thoroughly and become the big managers who stand alone now.

It is said that they are in charge, but they are actually self-effacing. Even if they go out to do business on their own, they will definitely not be bad.

When Li Hua and Wu Xian came to the inn, they were really taken aback when they learned that Qi Yanling had arrived in Huaiyang. They were still worried about when the eldest lady would come back, why did the eldest lady be in Huaiyang in a blink of an eye?

"Miss?" Seeing the woman sitting by the window, both Li Hua and Wu Xian couldn't hide their joy.

Qi Yanling looked at them with a smile, "Surprised to see me, right? I didn't expect that I usually don't have time to come to Huaiyang, but I have time to come here when I'm running for my life."

Li Hua hurriedly bowed to Wu Xian, and sat down opposite Qi Yanling, Li Hua said, "Miss, I heard that you took Wan Yantuo away, and Wu Xian and I have been thinking about going to Xiguo in person recently. "

"What are you going to do? It's useless to go. Could you still fight against Wan Yantuo? I'm back now. You can continue to do your business with peace of mind." Qi Yanling said with a smile, "Today I asked you to come here just to see how you are doing, I never thought about doing business in Huaiyang before, but now with such a scale, I would like to thank you two."

Wu Xian laughed honestly, "Miss, what you say is a shame for us, if it weren't for you, we still don't know where we are now."

Qi Yanling smiled and said, "Then let's not say these kind words. You have been in Huaiyang for some time, how do you think here?"

"Good place." Li Hua laughed.

Huaiyang is close to the Grand Canal, and the Grand Canal leads to the sea. It is rich in products and bustling with people. It can be said that it is the most prosperous place in Jingguo besides Kyoto.

"Of course it's a good place. Huaiyang cuisine has always been known as the best taste in the southeast and the most beautiful in the world. You can live well here." Qi Yanling said jokingly.

Wu Xian scratched his scalp and just smiled foolishly.

Qi Yanling said, "There are three major leaders in Huaiyang, which almost monopolize the entire Huaiyang business. It is not easy for you to get a piece of the pie here this time."

Although Huaiyang Huangyang Wednesday's family is not a merchant, all the business in Huaiyang is in their hands. Even if they are salt merchants, they have to go through their way to make a living in Huaiyang. They are so overbearing, Li Hua and Wu Xian It is a skill to be able to stand still.

"They are willing to give up some face, but for the sake of the young lady." Li Hua said, if it weren't for Qi Yanling's own name, and Qi Yanjun and Zhao Linxiu were behind her, these three families would not be so easy to deal with.

"When I came here, there seemed to be a lot of officers and soldiers at the pier. Could it be that Huaiyang is usually so strict here?" Qi Yanling asked.

"It's only happened in the last half month. I heard that the pirates at sea are about to move, and I'm afraid they will go ashore to rob, so the governor sent more soldiers to guard the various piers." Li Hua said.

Qi Yanling was startled. She knew that Huaiyang was near the sea, and she also knew that there were pirates on the sea, but since the sea ban was lifted, the coastal areas of Huaiyang have sent more troops to strengthen coastal defenses. Grab some caravans, why did the pirates spread the news that they wanted to go ashore at this time?
"What's the matter? Tired of being a pirate?" Qi Yanling asked hastily.

Li Hua said in a low voice, "Last time when I went out to sea and met pirates, I got two things from them. Miss, I see that there seems to be something wrong with the pirates at sea."

Qi Yan's eyes brightened, "What's the problem?"

"Miss, look." Li Hua took out a drawing from his bosom, which showed the appearance of two weapons, "I found this on their boat, and I secretly drew it back."

"This is..." No matter how calm Qi Yanling was, she was frightened by the graphics on the drawing and stood up, "Are you really sure that you saw this from their boat?"

Li Hua explained, "I saw it with my own eyes. At that time, I thought that encountering pirates was a sure thing, but they let us go as long as they wanted our food."

Qi Yanling looked at the blueprint with a solemn expression. These are not ordinary weapons at all. They are iron crossbows and spears. These cold weapons are only used in war.

When she was in the wilderness barracks, she saw such a weapon at Wanyantuo's place.

"Those people you met...how many?" Qi Yanling asked in a deep voice.

"There are at least two large ships with more than three masts. I can't say how many there are," Li Hua said.

Qi Yanling was silent for a while, "Li Hua, Wu Xian, you have to remember what I said next. I suspect that this weapon does not belong to pirates, and it may be where these pirates got it. Anyway, we You have to take precautions. After you go back, you must first prepare sufficient food in the hidden grain depot and strengthen the guards. I am worried that this is not just pirates... If there is a war in Huaiyang, you must keep your safety .”

Both Li Hua and Wu Xian were shocked, "Miss, do those ships belong to Xiguo?"

"I'm not sure." Qi Yanling said, "I just suspect that this is Xiguo's weapon..."

"Miss, this matter must be reported to the imperial court immediately." Li Hua said, if Xiguo really wanted to attack Huaiyang, it would be a real danger for Jingguo.

Qi Yanling said, "Tomorrow I will send someone to send a letter to the governor of Huaiyang, and I will immediately leave for the capital tomorrow to tell Zhao Linxiu about this matter, and you should be careful yourself."

"Miss, don't worry, we know what to do." Li Hua said.

After bidding farewell to Li Hua and Wu Xian, Qi Yanling immediately found Meng Ying and showed him the drawings brought by Li Hua, "Send a copy of this copy to the Governor, and send a copy to your Seventh Master as soon as possible, see The pirates who are about to move around today are not as simple as real pirates."

Meng Ying lived in the Xiguo military camp for a few days, and when she saw the weapons on the blueprint, her face became serious, "Miss... this matter is not trivial."

"That's why we can't take it lightly." Qi Yanling said, if it is really Xiguo, Xiguo still hasn't forgiven him for attacking Huaiyang so far, probably because he is still afraid of the coastal defense army.

"My subordinates will go to the Governor's Mansion immediately," Meng Ying said.

Qi Yanling nodded, "Depart for Beijing tomorrow."

After Meng Ying left, Qi Yanling called Jiang He in and gave him a blueprint, "Have someone send this letter to General Qi in Weicheng."

Jiang He immediately agreed.
