"Second Miss, everything is ready outside, you see?"

The attendant said respectfully to Zhan Azhuo.

"Okay, let's go."

Zhan Azhuo put away the stationery, lit it with the fire on the table, and threw it into an empty tea bowl, leaving the paper to turn to ashes.

Wumeng's matter is over, I didn't expect Qi Jinzhi to be so powerful, and King Xiaoliang was killed by him.

Hehe, the situation in the southwest will be different now, and half of the eight wealthy clans of Wumeng will be 'cleaned' by Qi Jinzhi.

…… In this way, the entire six divisions of Wumeng will all fall into the hands of Qi Jinzhi.

Ah Zhuo was not surprised by this result, although she did not guess that King Xiao Liang would die, but she firmly believed that Qi Jinzhi would not be easily defeated.

Therefore, when the people of the Wumeng Zhan family wrote to the Shuixi family that day, Ah Zhuo tried his best to persuade them not to go against Qi Jinzhi, even if there was a great temptation of interests, even if there was a great chance of success on the surface, they must not stand on the opposite side of Qi Jinzhi and his wife.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ah Zhuo is an innocent and brainless Hanzhishan girl, but in the eyes of the real Zhan family, the two sisters of the Zhan family are not fuel-efficient lamps.

The head of the Wumeng Zhan family received the reply, although he didn't understand it, but according to Ah Zhuo's meaning, he didn't get involved in the quagmire between the Wumeng Hao clan and King Xiaoliang, let alone do anything to provoke Qi Jin.

The family closed the door, did not listen or look, and regarded themselves as impartial centrists.

As it turned out, Azhuo guessed correctly again and saved the Wumeng family.

When there was a big explosion outside Wumeng City, the entire Fucheng shook, and Master Zhan, who was hiding at home, heard the news outside, and was extremely grateful in his heart, and even listed Ah Zhuo as the female Zhuge of the Zhan family.

How much did Master Zhan say thank Ah Zhuo, Ah Zhuo didn't care, at this moment, there was only one thing she was most curious about: how powerful are the Qi family's firearms?

Can it be buried underwater? Can blow more than a thousand people to pieces in one go?

It's horrible, and it's amazing!

Ah Zhuo couldn't help but think that if the Zhan family had such a firearm, it would definitely be like a tiger with wings, and maybe they would be able to surpass the An family in the future and become the first Yi clan in Shuixi.

Thinking of this, Ah Zhuo had a good impression of his cheap brother-in-law Qi Qinzhi for the first time - Qi Jinzhi will, Qi Qinzhi doesn't understand it reasonably, even if Qi Qinzhi can't make such a powerful firearm, at least the principle is still understood, right?!

"Ah Duo, they should be in Shuixi soon, hehe, I haven't seen them for so long, I really miss them!"

Ah Zhuo packed up, led the horse out of the inn, looked at the post road ahead, and said with a smile.

"Counting the time, they should have arrived in Shudi, but there is a lot of chaos outside, not whether the road is good or not."

The attendant folded his fingers and calculated, and then said with a little worry.

"It's okay, my good brother-in-law is not a vegetarian, his hands are black."

Ah Zhuo unconsciously revealed his dislike for Qi Qinzhi: This person is too ruthless, and his heart is too small, and it is normal to be jealous for women, but you can fight with the eldest young master of the An family in a fair and bright way, how can you be a black hand behind your back? I don't dare to admit it after the black hand, and I twisted and pinched what 'accidental injury'?

Phew, accidentally injured a P, they are not fools, they can't tell whether it is manslaughter or murder?

In fact, if Qi Qinzhi admitted that he didn't like the An family kid because of Ah Duo, so he deliberately shot him to death, Ah Zhuo would admire him instead, respecting him as a real man and a bright man.

Can be diligent...... Hmph, a sinister and hypocritical villain! Really not worthy of her beautiful and intelligent sister!

The attendant lowered his head, this topic was too sensitive, and it was really not for him to interject.

"Okay, let's not talk about him, let's go first."

As soon as Ah Zhuo mentioned Qi Qinzhi, he felt bored, so he turned the saddle and got on the horse, flicked the whip, and left the inn and got on the flat post road.

The attendants hurriedly followed, and the group rushed to the west of the water.

"By the way, is there any news of that master?"

Ah Zhuo rode his horse unhurriedly, and suddenly remembered something, so he asked casually.

"Oh, not yet."

The answer was Ah Zhuo's personal maid, wearing a black wide-fitting shirt and trousers, riding a horse half behind Ah Zhuo.

I only heard her reply respectfully, and then asked with some doubts: "Second Miss, you handed over those seeds to the eldest grandmother of the Qi family, will the master be angry if he knows?" ”

After all, it was a big business brought by a master, and the second lady handed it over to others without saying a word, which seems to be a bit rude.

"Angry? Hehe, I guess she won't be angry at all, but will be happy! ”

Ah Zhuo hadn't read many books and couldn't speak those literary truths, but she had the innate instincts of animals.

That master, how to say it, anyway, it feels a little strange to Ah Zhuo.

I can't say what's wrong, anyway, the heart is not so pure.

But Ah Zhuo really didn't give up the huge profits brought by that business, the clansmen lived too hard, and the root cause was because of the poor geographical conditions, no matter how hard the clansmen worked, they always struggled to survive on the subsistence line.

Therefore, Azhuo wants to find a long-term benefit for his clansmen, with little risk and high returns!

The master came at the right time, and Ah Zhuo was very moved to listen to her story.

Yes, yes...... Azhuo just had a feeling of unease.

Gu Jialuo wants to temporarily monopolize the business of warbler seeds, just so that Ah Zhuo can study it.

If this business is really good, she will take it over from Gu Jialuo in three years.

If it wasn't good, she and her people wouldn't suffer, and she wouldn't be tired when she helped run an errand.

As for whether the master was unhappy or not, whether he would take the opportunity to be angry at her, Ah Zhuo didn't care.

Don't look at Ah Zhuo's straightforward and pungent appearance all day long, smiling at everyone, just like an ordinary mountain girl.

But in fact, she is the princess in the Zhanjia cottage, and her status is not lower than that of the official lady under the mountain.

She is very proud in her bones.

That master, hehe, to put it mildly, is a businessman.

Shuixi has been sinicized for decades, and the concept of Shinong industry and commerce has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Azhuo, as the second lady of the Zhan family, called the woman a 'master', because she is well-educated and polite.

But if that master dares to lose his temper with Zhan Azhuo's respect, hmph, Azhuo will tell her with a whip what is dignity and humility, and what are the real rules!

……

Qi Jinzhi used dozens of explosives bags to send King Xiao Liang to the sky, the boss died, and his comrades suffered heavy casualties, and seeing the scene of explosion and flesh flying with his own eyes was quite irritating to the remaining Tartars.

Although gunpowder has a long history, there were 'rockets' in the Song Dynasty, and more advanced flint muskets appeared in the Great Qi Dynasty.

However, at that time, it was still an era of cold weapons, and no matter how tragic the battlefield was, it was also a one-on-one, real fight.

Short legs, broken arms, and even two corpses, look bloody, but they don't feel like they're collapsing.

What is the concept of explosion?

With a loud bang, more than a dozen people were blown to pieces.

Splinter!

Seeing their companions who were eating together in the morning be blown to pieces in an instant and scattered all over the ground, that kind of scene is really not acceptable to people nowadays, in their opinion, it is a picture that only hell will appear.

…… Therefore, after the explosion, the Tartars who had not yet had time to jump into the moat were completely frozen, and they did not live up to their previous bravery.

They are not afraid of death, really, but, they really can't accept this kind of death of being blown to pieces or blown into the sky!

Qi Jinzhi immediately ordered someone to open the city gate, two hundred Qi family troops, plus three or four hundred village warriors, and hundreds of people were like tigers out of the gate, directly pounced on the stupid Tartars.

With the exception of a few who resisted instinctively, less than 2,000 were taken prisoner.

By the time Ma Hanze, who had received the carrier pigeon and hurried to arrive, Wumeng had already calmed down, and the mess outside the city had already been cleaned up.

The moat stained red by blood was cleared, and the broken flesh was long gone.

Except for the lingering smell of blood in the air, Umon was as calm as if nothing had happened.

The gates were wide open, the drawbridge was lowered, and the people came in and out, everything was so natural.

Ma Hanze is a veteran of the battlefield and found the problem at a glance.

He sat on his horse, his eyes swept around, and his nose twitched a few times, "There is a smell of blood, and there is a faint smell of gunpowder." ”

There is no way, Wumeng is surrounded by mountains, and the high Wufeng Mountain is more like a barrier to the city, blocking the strong mountain wind.

In addition, the amount of gunpowder that exploded two days ago was too large, and even after two days, the pungent smell could not be completely dissipated.

Ma Hanze frowned, he was the in-law of the Qi family, and he took over the Qi family's barracks, but he didn't know more about the Qi family's killer weapon - firearms.

The combat effectiveness of King Xiaoliang and his subordinates, Ma Hanze knew very well, he personally drove King Xiaoliang out of Xin'an County, and chased all the way to Wumeng.

The two sides clashed head-to-head several times, and Ma Hanze led nearly 10,000 people, and the supplies were sufficient, but they still did not defeat King Xiaoliang and his subordinates, let alone annihilate them all.

But his good nephew, with only 200 Qi family troops and hundreds of temporarily transferred rabble, not only blocked the siege of thousands of people, but also killed King Xiaoliang.

The results were even more brilliant: more than 1,000 enemies were annihilated, 300 wounded, and nearly 2,000 prisoners were captured.

A battle will completely wipe out Liang Wei, who has been plagued by the southwest for decades?!

Qi Jinzhi is not an immortal, and the Qi family army is not a heavenly soldier, there must be other reasons for such a record against the sky.

Firearm!

The word immediately crossed his mind.

That's right, it must be the Qi family's firearms that have exerted their might.

Ma Hanze remained silent, and while ordering people to go into the city to inform Qi Jinzhi, he also found his cronies and asked them to secretly inquire about the news.

It is true that he is the in-law of the Qi family, and he also hopes that the Qi family can be well, but he is also a general of the imperial court.

Their Ma family will always be loyal to the saint, not to mention that the current crown prince is the grandson of the Ma family, Ma Hanze will never allow the existence of threatening the court and threatening the royal family.

The secret of the Qi family's firearms, he must find out clearly!

……

Umon victory!

When the news reached Wusa, it was already half a month later, and Qi Jinzhi personally wrote a letter and sent it back by Liu Hu.

Gu Jialuo's hanging heart finally fell, she read Qi Jinzhi's letter back and forth several times, and asked Liu Hu again and again for specific details.

Liu Hu knew that the eldest grandmother was really worried about his uncle, and he was not impatient, and explained the whole process over and over again in detail.

What trained the villagers, what connived at Qi Dayong to lead the troops to grab food, and what deliberately showed weakness to lure Liang Cheng to take the bait...... Even the classic explosion at the end, Liu Hu seemed to be possessed by the storyteller of the teahouse, and he talked endlessly.

"Okay, King Xiaoliang is dead, and General Ma is here, then everything will be fine!"

Gu Jialuo let out a long sigh of relief, carefully folded the letter paper, and put it in a flat square box.

This black lacquered box of rosewood luodian was specially used by her to store letters, and a large stack of them had been accumulated in it.

"Send someone to ask Master Meng and Mr. Zhou."

Gu Jialuo sent Liu Hu away, turned his head and said to Ziwei beside him.

"Yes!" Ziwei agreed, went out and beckoned a little maid, and whispered a few words.

The little maid ran out, and after a short time, she led Meng Fu and Zhou Wenyuan in.

The two greeted Gu Jialuo.

Gu Jialuo was not verbose, and said directly: "Wumeng is victorious, the uncle led his troops to annihilate more than a thousand Tartars, and the king of Xiaoliang has been ambushed-"

Before they finished speaking, Meng and Zhou had already called out in surprise: "Really? Fuzun pacified the 'Liang Rebellion'? ”

This is a great achievement, the court knows about it, and it may not know how to reward Qi Jinzhi.

As the saying goes, 'a person who gets the Tao and a chicken and a dog ascends to heaven', although this is ugly, it makes a lot of sense, Meng and Zhou Erren are Qi Jinzhi's confidants, and Qi Jinzhi is promoted, and they will definitely have a good future.

Gu Jialuo smiled slightly and said, "That's right, King Xiaoliang and his subordinates totaled more than 3,500 people, killed and wounded 1,500 people, and captured 2,000 people. ”

When Meng and Zhou heard this, they praised one after another, "Okay, it's really good, in this way, the southwest is too peaceful." ”

The corners of Gu Jialuo's mouth twitched, what, although Qi Jinzhi didn't say it, Gu Jialuo could guess the real reason for Liang's rebellion.

Raising bandits is self-respecting or something, it's really not a glorious thing.

Although Meng and Zhou had no other meaning when they said this, they always felt uncomfortable in Gu Jialuo's ears.

Coughing lightly twice, Gu Jialuo hurriedly changed the topic: "Uncle has already made an excerpt, explain this matter in detail, and the court will have a resolution in the near future." In addition, the uncle detailed the exploits of the two in the excerpt, and recommended Meng as the master of Wusa Zhi County, and Mr. Zhou as the master of Wumeng Mansion-"

Before the words fell, Meng Fu and Zhou Wenyuan had already stood up excitedly, they would follow Qi Jinzhi to the southwest, in addition to valuing Qi Jinzhi's potential, it was more of a helpless move.

They thought that they would be promoted and their careers would develop, but they definitely didn't expect it to be so fast and so smooth!

Oh my God, it's been less than a year, and they've gone from being a small official to an official of the imperial court?

It's not a dream, is it?

Gu Jialuo said with a smile: "However, the imperial court has not yet approved it, and the uncle has already written a letter to the capital, so I will continue to bother the two uncles in the future." ”

Meng and Zhou clasped their fists together, and slammed at the woman behind the screen, "Don't worry, you will definitely do your best, and you will definitely live up to the will and respect of the mansion!" ”

Seeing off the two people who were grateful and overjoyed, Gu Jialuo didn't get up, and looked around silently.

She has arranged it by herself, and all the furniture has been made according to her heart, although it is not expensive, but it is better than comfort. It's been less than a year since I lived here, and I'm moving again......
