Chapter 33: The Falcon Returns

The embassy of Daqi is also in the port area, which is a typical new Yamen style of Daqi, such as the Commercial Tax Institute (Division), because it is a civil yamen, most of the civilians enter and exit, so it is not the previous public hall building, but into the courtyard gate, which is a row of bungalows, responsible for dealing with different events.

Lu Ning is now in one of the largest bungalows, and he is received by Wang Lun, the deputy envoy, who is also the highest-ranking official in the Shanghai Embassy, who returned to Bianjing last month to report on his work and has not yet returned.

The Qi slave killed an envoy of a third country in a foreign land, which was a very serious incident, and Wang Lun personally came forward to deal with it.

Lu Ning also wanted to see how these envoys stationed abroad handled the case, but they did not use the identity of "Wenlongtu", but only said that his surname was "Wen", and he was the owner of the armed merchant ship "Gold and Silver" that was now anchored in the port, and he was going to the Three Buddhas to do business.

After all, Wang Lun is just a small Congliupin official, because he doesn't know much about the affairs of the temple in the capital, and he doesn't have any associations when he hears Lu Ning's surname "Wen".

In fact, Mo said that he was the deputy envoy, the envoy of the overseas countries, and the highest rank was only the envoy stationed in the Chola Empire, who was an official of the fifth grade, and the rest of the envoys were the most of the six ranks, and the same was true of the embassy in the city.

However, Wang Lun heard the report and knew that the maidservants beside the shopkeeper were all stunning, and they were dressed in novel clothes and had firearms, which were obviously not comparable to ordinary merchants, and the "Gold and Silver" was loaded with improvised artillery, which made him even more surprised, after all, the so-called "armed merchant ships" in the past only said that the merchants of the Qi State were allowed to carry bows and crossbows and other armed guards on board.

In a small part of the armed merchant ships of the East China Sea, there are experimental ships carrying small bronze cannons.

This shopkeeper Wen, I'm afraid that he has a deep relationship with Baixing in the East China Sea, so he can get such a ship? Even if it is a sample of a ship that has been eliminated.

Wang Lun vs. Lu Ning? I was doubly polite and asked about the general incident? frowned and said: "This is all the words of the Cham and the Zhenla barbarians?" The official needs to negotiate with the Cham and summon the treasurer's slave and maid relatives who have not escaped and are at the scene to question. And said: "This official will also exert pressure?" and ordered them not to hurt the servants and maidservants of the shopkeeper. ”

Liu Dafang, who was standing behind Lu Ning, gave a thumbs up and smiled: "My lord is wise." ”

Wang Lun twisted his beard and smiled? Is the shelf of this shopkeeper too big? Even if he asks questions, most of them are answered by the servants behind him, but it makes him take it for granted, this kind of bearing? Isn't it something that a businessman can have? However, none of this is his business, and it is good to deal with this incident.

Lu Ning stood up and said with a smile: "It's hard work!" ”

Wang Lun unconsciously stood up with him, and even for a moment? I wanted to bow down and send it off, but then I laughed dumbly.

……

"What?" Lu Ning frowned.

Wang Shengxun, who was standing in front of Lu Ning, had a solemn face? said: "The small ones are afraid that they are not all untrue, after many verifications?" That's when I came to tell the master. ”

Wang Shengxun is indeed powerful, Lu Ning has just returned from the Embassy? And he came to ask for an audience? But to say? It turned out that Qu Guo did not escape, but was captured on the spot and sent to the post house where the Zhenla people were.

In fact, if you think about it, even if Qu Guohuo hurts people and creates chaos for a short time, how can she escape from the net with her relatives? After all, it's going to raid the house, and the outside should be surrounded by water.

Lu Ning also had questions about this.

"These barbarians are so daring!" After listening to Jiao Guo's translation, Liu Dafang was immediately furious.

"Is there any important person who was injured by Qu Guo's gunshot?" Lu Ning asked, if Qu Guo killed an important person of the Zhenla Mission, so it would be logical, and after capturing the Qi slaves who hurt people, he would not admit it and send them to the Zhenla people for secret punishment, so as not to calm the anger of the Zhenla people and avoid hurting the face of the Qi people.

And if this is not the case, there is even another possibility, that is, for the fire of the Qu Kingdom.

I don't know if the king of Champa is ambitious, or his close minister Badra Pata is secretly plotting, thinking that if he has obtained the "artifact" of Daqi, he can study and imitate it? It's too simple to think about.

Wang Shengxun shook his head, "This villain doesn't know." ”

"Master, the slave is going to ask Xiaobao to gather people and go to the residence of the Zhenla people?" Liu Dafang rubbed his hands beside him.

The "Gold and Silver", which does not look very conspicuous as a merchant ship of the Qi State, in addition to being equipped with small artillery, of course, also has an armed escort, a selected hundred guards and pro-army, disguised as the civilian armed "Red Reserve Army" of the East China Sea, of which twenty are gunners to control the two small guns, and the remaining eighty people, with twenty-five heavy guns, also known as lifting guns, that is, the modified version of the previous heavy arquebus, at the same time, these hundred guards, and each of them are crossbowmen.

They disguised themselves as civilian overseas mercenaries, called the "Flying Falcon Regiment", and it was Lu Ning who reused this name because he remembered Dongying and his party back then.

The temporary commander of the Flying Falcon Regiment is Dou Shenbao, and there is also a regimental assistant or deputy regiment commander named Kang Baoyi, who is a particularly heroic young talent, Jiangmen Huzi, who was originally a deputy head of the guard's army.

Because Dou Shenbao often follows Lu Ning's side, he manages his daily life with the group Zuokang Bao descendant.

These 100 flying falcon pawns, from their personal military quality to equipment, are more than enough to capture this capital of the city.

Listening to Liu Dafang's words, Lu Ning shook his head and said to Wang Shengxun: "Use your people, go and surround the residence of the Zhenla people, and tell them not to worry, all those who participate can move to the port area with their families afterwards, and they can work in the port area." ”

The Weizhen La People's Post House is a place to prevent Qu from being transferred to the side, but if you use heavily armed Qi people, the bullying is too much, after all, the old city is the capital of the Cham people, and Daqi has always restrained embassies and overseas businessmen from all over the country, and without the consent of the local officials of the other party, a large group of people are not allowed to carry ordnance into the local area.

If it seems that these countries with embassies are being taken by the Qi people, but any country lord with a little ambition will also have the idea of driving away the Qi people, which is not conducive to the expansion of Qi's influence overseas.

Lu Ning himself doesn't want to be an example of this kind of bad behavior.

Listening to Lu Ning's words, Wang Shengxun was stunned, this kind of beauty difference, I am afraid that there will be many responders immediately, this is a great benefit, he should be elected as the most proud doorman, and the number of people should not be too much, lest the last Qi man regret it.

Lu Ning said to Liu Dafang again: "Ask Xiaobao to go with them, you go to the embassy, ask Wang Lun to come forward to negotiate, and order Cham and Zhenla to release them and return them to the Divine Fire Strike." ”

Liu Dafang hurriedly agreed.

Seeing Wang Shengxun and Jiao Guo retreating, he hesitated and asked, "Master, if, if it happens, the slave is saying in case, in case Miss Qu Guo is defiled by the barbarians, how to deal with it?" ”

Lu Ning was stunned, defiled?

I really haven't thought about it, and I haven't seen Qu Guo and others as women much for a long time.

But think about it, after all, for these barbarian tribes, Qu Guo is definitely a rare beauty, which will inevitably make the faint people of Li Ling think about it, but at least before the matter is really resolved, before the "Qi master" of Qu Guo leaves, no one should dare to touch her, then there is no way out, and it may suffer very serious consequences.

"If so, what do you think should be done?" Lu Ning looked at Liu Dafang with a smile.

Liu Dafang's forehead immediately sweated, and he suddenly knelt down, "With the protection of the master's dragon qi, Miss Qu Guo is blessed with a great life, where will there be unforeseen things?" The slave is talking nonsense, ten thousand deaths! ”

Lu Ning bowed his head slightly and waved his hand: "Go." ”

Liu Dafang kowtowed, got up and bowed backwards.

Seeing his trembling and frightened appearance, Lu Ning shook his head, Liu Dafang definitely wanted to propose that if Qu Guo was defiled, he would be executed or something, but in the end, he didn't dare to say it.

The women around them, even if they are just virgin guards, should face this problem, once they lose their temper and do not commit suicide, they may be killed by themselves, otherwise, it will damage the face of the Holy Son of Heaven.

In Liu Dafang's view, this is a matter of course.

He was afraid because he felt that he should not have talked about it at all, not that he was wrong.

When you think about it, you can't help but sigh.

Moreover, it is also because of the five Vietnamese maids, in the eyes of Liu Dafang, is still different from the genuine virgin maid, if it is other Qing'e Wei, where does he dare to talk about it? It is not his turn to persuade suicide or executioner or anything like that.

And now, thinking about it, he feels that the status of the five maids in Vietnam is not as low as he thinks, and it is not something he can talk about in front of the Son of Heaven on a very sensitive topic.

Thinking about it, Lu Ning couldn't help but shake his head.
