Chapter Eighty-Seven: Hand Over the Murderer

The words that came out of Niu Shang's mouth, even if Ruan Bai knew how to act again, his eyes turned red.

Thousands of weapons, of course, are not enough to equip the entire army of the city. But what Nguyen Bai wanted was not to equip a brand new army, but to fill the void created by the old weapons damaged by the war, and the existing channels plus these quantities were enough!

As soon as Niu Shang's words came out, even the faces of Hu Shang and the others changed. They knew that there were a large number of weapons in that place, but the number and variety were definitely not as clear as the cattle merchants knew.

Hu Shang and the others immediately kept silent. The asymmetry of information often represents the asymmetry of status. Even if the businessmen are all at the same level, the status of the backers behind them is actually clear at a glance.

Ruan Bai didn't ask if he should take it seriously. His position is very clear to himself, and Hu Shang is even clearer. Especially the news that has been revealed now, I can't think about it deeply.

What is a weapon? In the average person, the most is a three-knife combination package of kitchen knife, firewood knife, and scissors. If it were a hunter, it would probably have an extra machete or something. Orion had bows and arrows, but they were all home-made, and most of them were incomparable in quality and standard weapons.

It's not that home-made weapons are shoddy, but that there is an asymmetry of resources. There are many things that are only available in the imperial court, and it is easy to get their hands on them, but for ordinary people, it is difficult to ascend to the sky.

Therefore, the difference between standard weapons and home-made weapons can be seen at a glance even by people who have no knowledge.

No matter how good this information is, no matter how good it is, he doesn't dare to say it to fool Ruan Bai. He was able to say it, and he took a big risk.

In fact, this den, which contains a large amount of munitions, is located in the southwest of Shunyang Pass, in a large area of mountains. Among them, the mountain road is the only way to Xijing, Xishan and other places on the western line.

This group of people didn't know how long they had been in the store, and they were very low-key, only attacking the merchant team, and they were very measured. As long as a certain amount of goods is given, there is no danger. The goods that were forcibly confiscated were about one to two percent of the profits from the sale of these merchants back and forth.

Therefore, ordinary people don't know that most of the merchants have been hiding in the mountains and forests out of the attitude of spending money to buy peace of mind.

Until, the advent of the cattle merchant.

The cattle merchant is backed by Cai Gonggong, and the route he has been running has always been in the southern region with abundant oil and water. Besides, although Gonggong Cai is not in the eyes of some dignitaries, but the real emperor's henchmen, how many people in the entire Great Zhou dare to really offend?

So far, the cattle merchant has not had to be passive for many years; ran the western line several times in a row, and bumped into such a toll station, and the grievances in my heart were raised. And his eyes are so poisonous. The standard weapon was recognized at a glance, and when I thought of the news I heard before, I could directly confirm what was going on.

However, for the reason, he couldn't talk to Ruan Bai in detail, and he couldn't even go directly to King Pingxi to talk about it.

Ruan Bai also knew how powerful it was. The control of weapons in the imperial court has always been the top priority, and it's okay to drop one or two handfuls occasionally, thousands of them, and armor!

How did all this stuff get out of the Arms Bureau? Who did it behind it? Is it a person or a gang that can do this? Why did such a large number of weapons appear in the west? And it's so close to the border, what's the point? Sith is empty, there is wood!

Ruan Bai thanked Niu Shang and the others with a serious face: "Thank you for trusting the boy." "Not to mention more, businessmen seeking wealth will naturally not lose their benefits.

As long as Niu Shang and the others have his attitude, they can do it. I have cooperated with each other a few times, they are not strangers, Ruan Bai's temperament is understood, and he immediately smiled and once again stated his position for the country and the people, especially enthusiastic and upright!

Even if this matter could almost explode a mushroom cloud in the court, the conversation between Ruan Bai and Niu Shang did not last long. In the eyes of a few guards guarding the door, it was less than half a cup of tea.

Ruan Bai's expression didn't show anything unusual, but his face was pale, and everyone could see his tiredness, and he was carefully bandaged by Chu Hao, especially like such a bandage, properly for the righteous brother to bring the injury to the big Zhou Hao'erlang!

It's a big deal. Besides, although the cattle merchants know a lot, they don't know the number of people and the location in detail. To make achievements in a short period of time, and to get those weapons in the shortest possible time, and put them into the war in front of him, no matter how enthusiastic Ruan Bai is, he knows that he can't rely on himself.

At this time, you need a reliable father!

"Daddy!" Ruan Bai shouted justifiably.

King Pingxi was stunned and put down the teacup: "What's the matter?" "He's really in dire straits these days, there's no time for peace at all, and now that his youngest son is back, he finally had some time to drink water, and he was stopped before he finished drinking. Well, no matter how capable the younger son is, there are still things that can't be done, right? Don't worry, say it, and give it to Dad!

Ruan Bai looked at King Pingxi's pleasant face, and when he saw the trainer before, he was like two people, thinking that King Pingxi should be in a good mood, so he told the news immediately.

King Pingxi remained silent.

Ruan Bai was a little uncertain: "If I change my usual life, I should send someone to find out the truth and ......."

King Pingxi waved his hand, beckoned Ruan Bai to come over, and spoke in a special seriousness when he spoke again: "Little Er, do you want to make a fortune?" ”

Well? Ruan Bai was stunned for a moment. What makes a fortune? Aren't they planning to crack down on illegal toll collection sites? Besides, robbery is such a thing, why Mao wants to put on such an expression and such a tone? Don't you think there's anything wrong with you, old man?

"Dad won't be able to tell you the details for the time being." After speaking, King Pingxi also glanced at Ruan Bai with a little apprehension, afraid that the child would feel that he was not regarded as a family.

Ruan Bai nodded understandingly: "I understand." He didn't want to know this kind of inside story.

"Oh, my little two are so smart." Not at all like his stupid son, King Pingxi secretly scolded before continuing to talk about his plan with a pleasant face, "That's what Dad planned." First ......, then ......, and last...... Dare to yin Lao Tzu and kill him! ”

Ruan Bai didn't hear the last sentence, nodded and continued to go about his own business.

It is definitely impossible to divide the manpower on the side of Shunyang Pass now. But there are people under the hands of King Pingxi. How many years has the Pingxi Royal Mansion been rooted in the western part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and if you want to do this, not to mention that it can be done in minutes, it is also a three-finger snail pinch, and it is steady. The reason why King Pingxi would tell Ruan Bai about his general plan is actually to express his position.

First, rest assured, Lao Tzu will take care of this matter;

Second, rest assured, you will be given a share after the deed is completed;

Third, rest assured, this matter was not done by Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu did not think about rebellion;

Fourth, rest assured, Lao Tzu knows about the matter, and Lao Tzu, the person behind it, will kill him.

So, Ruan Bai left with peace of mind, and found a gap to reluctantly clean it. The back and forth of the big summer, people are going to stink.

"I love bathing, I'm in good health, whoa!"

When the princess came in, she was faced with such a stinky boy with a disheveled hair, wearing a small vest and big pants, and was about to throw himself on the bed with a snarling voice.

Ruan Bai's shell is too deceptive, even if everyone knows that he is not a simple person, when they face each other, they still can't help but subconsciously treat him as a child. It is also Ruan Bai who has always been interested in cultivating, and pretending to be tender is simply not too experienced.

So, now it's the old lady who enters her son's room to inspect, is there any contraband?

Ruan Bai's mind automatically popped up the list of contraband: No. 1, Chu Hao; No. 2, dog; Number 3, some kind of small book...... No, this is the bedroom of the General's Mansion, not in the post station, don't be afraid!

As General Cao's brother-in-law, Ruan Bai has an independent courtyard in the General's Mansion, although this is the first time he has lived.

"Why don't you call someone if you want to take a bath? What do you want so many people to do? The princess didn't feel strange at all when she looked at him, and she was followed by two maids, holding two trays in their hands.

Ruan Bai obediently sat on the stool and asked the princess to bandage his wounds: "Mother, it's just a little skin injury, it's all closed." "When I went to a layer of skin, I just looked a little miserable.

The princess frowned, and Ruan Bai was silent.

"Alright, don't move this hand these days, just tell people what you want to do. Remember that you are a postman, and don't get involved in other things...... Wait for someone to come to you, you know? The princess bandaged her wounds quickly and skillfully, and the maids packed up their things and followed the princess to retire.

Ruan Bai was still thinking about what the princess said just now, and then looked at the bandages on his shoulders that were more exaggerated than before, and raised his eyebrows slightly. Could it be that at this juncture, there are still people who want to get along with him? How much is the pit in his head than his?

Anyway, hurry up and get some sleep, and you'll have to work the night shift for a while.

Ruan Bai was not alone in the night shift. On the steppe, wild beasts ...... The third child looks very much like a beast, his green eyes look particularly eye-catching, and he looks up and raises his head: "Woo~~~" The loud howl can be transmitted far away in the open grassland.

In the distance, another similar howl followed.

A few soldiers who watched the wind couldn't help but rub their arms, and they always felt a chill in their backs. Even with their numbers and plain habits, they would not be afraid of wolves, but it was still too mad to listen to it.

There were no bonfires, and it was impossible to notice without looking closely, and behind them there were many tents of similar colors to the grass. This is Ruan Bai's plan to make a camouflage color failure, because of the idea of talking about Shengwu, he simply made it out and asked Cao Jiajun to take it, and by the way, he gave feedback on the use information.

It's because it's a trial product, the number is not too much, and it can only barely arm a Cao family army. Ruan Bai's remaining fancy intestines that wanted to get a few camouflage uniforms were all extinguished.

It has to be said that because of this special tent, they have brought countless benefits to this operation.

"I'm sorry for this tent, I thought I would come out this time."

"That is, at this time on the grassland, there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and many of them are still poisonous!"

Even the usual cousin said: "The medicine bag is good, how many brothers have been rescued." ”

General Cao, who was sitting cross-legged in the big tent, was receiving compliments from his subordinates, and his smile did not have any sense of despair at all. The current situation is much better than he expected.

As the leader of the Western Front of the Great Zhou Dynasty for so many years, General Cao still feels the importance of having a good logistics for the first time, it is too important! I think he used to not only have to fight on the front line, but also have to care about whether there will be chaos in the rear. What now? All he had to do was fight.

Get a head start? It doesn't matter, what is needed, the logistics are already prepared. Custody is as practical as it is.

Playing for a long time? It doesn't matter, the logistics of the wounded will be solved, and the supply logistics will also be solved.

The steppe is too big, and the troops are too mobile? It doesn't matter, in addition to people, there are also dogs!

The tent was lifted suddenly, and Chu Hao came in with a big dog as tall as a person, his face was gloomy as water: "Hurry up, go and kill the ranger in the south tomorrow." ”

The glass lampshade was brought back by Chu Hao this time, and the bright light illuminated the tent brightly, and everyone could clearly see that Chu Hao was carefully treating the wound on the paw of the big dog's feet.

For the third family, it can be said that there is no one in the entire Shunyang Pass who does not know. When I first saw the third and fourth children, many people thought they were some kind of monster. That kind of majestic appearance, even if it is quiet, it makes people feel awe-inspired.

Relatively speaking, the two big fat and chubby puppies who almost grew up chasing the heels of the soldiers are more lovely. Even if they grow after the beginning of spring, it cannot be denied that the fat people are not yet old. Now in order to help them, the soles of the big fat feet have run out of blood......

A general said straightforwardly: "Ma Dan, Lao Tzu has lived all these years, and he is not as good as a dog!" ”

People who are a little familiar with Ruan Bai know that the fat people eat well, and it's not that no one has an opinion. When many people are still hungry, why can they eat meat in one meal? Some people even had the idea of slaughtering and eating dog meat. If it weren't for Chu Hao's military strength in the army to a certain extent, and later he had a master-apprentice relationship with the general, I am afraid that he would not be able to protect them with one Ruan Bai.

Of course, they've changed their minds completely. This change is not due to the dogs' tougher backers, but their own combat effectiveness.

Let's not talk about the little fat, the Huns killed by the third and fourth on the battlefield, if they are really based on their military exploits, they will soon be able to become a hundred households!

On the grassland, compared with the third child, the Huns are like outsiders. In any battle, the three dogs did not participate directly, but hid in the grass, picking up all kinds of leaks......

"The Ranger to the south is no less numerous than us." General Cao wanted to reach out and touch Xiaopang, but he was glared at by it vigilantly, and let out a threatening whine.

Chu Hao sat cross-legged, put the big fat on his body, and patted slowly and rhythmically like a child: "We still have a potion that hasn't moved, and we will try the effect tomorrow." ”

Everyone's attention was slowly drawn back from the big fat. In fact, many people don't know what that potion is. However, when General Cao heard Chu Hao's words, the whole person seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said decisively: "Okay, I'll use it tomorrow!" ”

At midnight, it was already quiet on the Cao Jiajun's side, but Ruan Bai had just started to move.

King Pingxi felt a little uneasy, and followed Ruan Bai to appear at the post station, only to see that the place that was still empty during the day was already densely packed with people, and all kinds of goods were also piled up in the open space.

The moonlight was not bad tonight, there were no lights, not even a sound of talking. It's a little scary to see this scene at night.

Seeing Ruan Bai coming, a few people walked out of the team silently. King Pingxi's eyes narrowed: Master!

Ruan Bai made a few simple gestures, these people nodded, and quickly returned to the team, and then the huge team immediately took action, and under the gaze of King Pingxi, it disappeared into the night in less than a quarter of an hour. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, if it weren't for the fact that there were still all kinds of traces on the ground, he couldn't believe that there was such an army here just now.

Ruan Bai didn't leave, but took a few steps to the side. Only then did King Pingxi notice that there were still some people in the shadows who had not left. Under Ruan Bai's same gestures, these people each held strange tools and props, and skillfully swept away the traces left behind.

When the people were far away, Ruan Bai looked back at King Pingxi: "It's the first time I moved seriously, and I was a little nervous." It's really a little uneasy not to stare at it personally. "I always feel that there is not enough time, I just played a few exercises in front of me, but I didn't expect the effect to be good.

King Pingxi didn't want to say anything anymore. He deeply suspected that when he was young, the reason why he won so many battles was not because he was too powerful, but because the enemy was too wasteful.

Ruan Bai didn't hide it from him when he dispatched personnel and materials, the people and materials who came here today are really a batch of people who were still used as waste wood by him during the day today...... Suddenly rushing to your feet is very useless, swollen and broken?

King Pingxi returned to the General's Mansion with pride and subtle loss, and found that his wife was waiting for him...... Certainly unlikely.

"Ma'am, what happened?"

The princess shook her head and handed him a note: "The Hun envoy has entered Beijing." ”

"Oh." King Pingxi glanced at the note. The note was small and the information it could carry was very short, and he saw the point at a glance and sneered: "Visiting the prince? Scold! ”

The princess rubbed the corners of her forehead: "The Hun envoy's visit to the crown prince is a bad move, but it is not too bad." "This can be regarded as sowing discord in the open, whether it is them or the prince, as long as they don't have water in their heads, they won't be tricked. But in the eyes of those who are smart, especially those who pretend to be smart, it's really hard to say. Not everyone can do it well. It's a pity that there are always some people who don't know what to do, and they can still think that they are slapped on the horse's buttocks, and they are not afraid of being kicked to death.

King Pingxi put the note on the candle flame and burned it, and helped the princess to bed: "Sleep, no matter what tricks they make, we are not afraid." "The Huns want to fight them with their fists, and they will be nervous; But trying to brainstorm is simply finding the wrong person!

The morning of the next day, because of the speeches of the Hun envoys, boiled!

The emperor of the Great Zhou raised a hand and pressed it twice, and the loud discussion in the hall stopped and became quiet again. He looked at the Hun envoy with a smile: "What did you ask for just now?" Say it again. I'm getting old, and I can't hear clearly. ”

The Hun envoy posed very well, with a humble smile on his face, but his eyes were full of mockery: "This official has brought the will of the Great Khan." As long as Da Zhou hands over the murderer of the little prince and promises that the eldest prince will marry Princess Gui Guomin as a concubine, my Hungarian Kingdom and Da Zhou will no longer start a war lightly. ”

The emperor and a few other old foxes could still hold it, and the young people almost jumped to their feet. Among them, the crown prince is the most.

Originally, when the crown prince or princes reached the age of the court, they were like auditors in the university, and they would not be able to speak. If they want to speak, they have to be specially named by the emperor or important ministers and asked, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think?" Or, "What does His Highness the Crown Prince think?" Questions like these can be cautious and cautious to say a few words.

Now the prince didn't care about it, and smashed the wat board in his hand with his hand. The prince's wat board is ivory, it must be weighty, quality and quality, and don't forget that the prince is a fierce man who once fought the Huns in riding and shooting, and once won two golden eagles. At this moment, the Hun envoy immediately saw blood on his forehead, and his whole body shook.

Followed by a punch and a kick from the prince, the Huns tasted the breath of death.

Fortunately, at this time, the emperor stopped his son's atrocity: "Stop! What is this for? ”

The prince stopped stupidly, but did not stop: "Phew! Chu Hao cut well, he wants us to hand over Chu Hao, think beautifully! Don't look at your eldest prince's wife who has married a bunch of them, and they are so old that they can be my sister-in-law's father, and they still want to marry my sister-in-law, and they want to be beautiful! ”

After the prince finished speaking, he felt that he was not very good at scolding, and the scolding was not profound at all, which violated the teachings of the Taifu on weekdays, so he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and returned to his seat aggrievedly, and after thinking about it, he also emphasized: "Father, the son will never agree!" ”

The emperor, who knew his son's temperament best, was a little impressed by the prince's expression. The prince has always been at odds with Chu Hao, which is obvious. He also thought that the prince would take advantage of this opportunity to rectify Chu Hao, not that the prince would advocate pushing Chu Hao out like this, but let Chu Hao feel bad, and I believe that the prince would not let go of this opportunity.

The emperor thought so, and Taifu naturally thought so too. As a result, the prince's expression was completely unexpected.

After waiting for the next court, the emperor asked him this question together with the Taifu.

The prince wondered why his father and teacher thought so, and he was very aggrieved: "If Erchen and Na Chu Hao don't deal with each other, they will naturally see the truth in their fists!" What kind of thing are the Huns, who dare to jump out and twitter? ”

Why should the prince of a country and the prince of a royal palace use their fists to distinguish between them? The emperor's and the Taifu's hearts were almost broken.

In the end, the collapsed Taifu couldn't help but slap a blow: "Your Highness, as far as the old minister knows, the prince of Pingxi is already a grandmaster in martial arts. ”

The prince was dumbfounded: Huh? So is he unable to beat it?
