"Who's coming?"

Qin Chuan rode his horse a few steps forward and asked in a loud voice.

The other party also came out with a stocky man, and instead of answering, he asked, "Who are you?" ”

Qin Chuan smiled: "Qin Chuan, the envoy of Lou Annoyance, was ordered to inspect the township and arrest bandits. ”

The man's eyes narrowed: "You are Qin Chuan, the chief steward of Mengjiazhuang?" ”

"Yes, who are you?"

"I am quietly visiting the head of the Du family, and I was ordered by Master Du to go to Lou Fu to pass a few words to the Qin Steward, and the Du Master said that he took his single-plank bridge, and the Qin Steward took your Yangguan Avenue, and everyone did not violate the river water, and they were safe with each other."

As soon as he heard this, Qin Chuan was happy.

Du Yingguang, that guy is quite clever, he sent someone to say hello so quickly.

It's just that it is impossible to be safe, even if Du Yingguang does not do business with Fan Yongdou, Qin Chuan will also calm the Du family.

At this time, a Guan Emperor army next to him stepped forward a few steps forward and whispered next to Qin Chuan: "Chief steward, I see that there are a few people in this group who are not simple, and they all have a smell of blood on their bodies, not like ordinary deserters, but like sentry spies of the border army, either they don't collect at night or they are sharp whistles or sharp nights." ”

"Don't take it at night?" Qin Chuan's eyes lit up.

The Guan Emperor Jun added: "Eight or nine are not far from ten, and there is also a small flag in the Xinhekou Fort where I used to be, and there are a few sharp nights, and the smell of blood on my body is the same as those people." ”

Qin Chuan laughed when he heard this.

He could also see that this group of people was not simple, but he couldn't see where the other party came from.

That Guan Dijun was a deserter, and he said that this group of people was a sentry agent, so it should be.

The duty of the sharp night is to lie dormant on the border or even the enemy's territory, and answer the sentry at any time, or ambush the enemy sentry.

Both of these belong to the type of secret sentry, whose function is close to that of a spy, and if they do not collect at night, they belong to the open sentry, and there are also two kinds, one is a long sentry and a long sentry, a special force that goes deep into the enemy's territory to detect the enemy's movements or performs tasks such as burning, attacking, and beheading, and the other is a sentry that relies on side walls and piers to patrol and warn nearby.

Since the officialdom and army of the Ming Dynasty were seriously corrupt, the elite of these Ming troops have become increasingly corrupt and slack, or reduced to **, or have fled, many people have joined the army with a large number of deserters, and have become the most elite old battalion soldiers and horses under the command of the major soldiers, and some even switched to Tatar and Jiannu, selling the secrets of the Ming border army in exchange for glory and wealth.

Qinchuan's Guan Emperor army also had some deserters, but the number was very small, less than 100 people, and most of them were the Tuntian military households of the guard, and now the guards of the Ming Dynasty have almost been abolished, replaced by battalion soldiers, and the guards who have not been drawn or recruited into the battalion soldiers are either mixed and waiting for death or fleeing to the Liukou.

Lou is tired of the poor and remote land, there are not many homeless people who come here, and there are even fewer deserters, among the deserters of less than 100 people, there is not a single night of collection, Qin Chuan has been worrying about this problem.

In order for Qinchuan to rise in the gap between the Ming court, the Liukou and the Jiannu, it is indispensable to have a professional or even far stronger intelligence system, and the formation of an espionage team is the top priority in military affairs, and it is urgent.

He just struggled with no one to use.

Unexpectedly, a group of professionals suddenly popped up now, like pie in the sky.

Even if this group of people is the guardian of the Du family, it is still a pie for Qin Chuan.

His professional specialty is robbery, and the righteous son of the eight dignified kings Zhang Bingzhong dares to rob, not to mention the nursing home of a small Du family.

Anyway, grab the people first.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan smiled at the stocky man and said, "It turned out to be a good man under the command of Master Du, disrespectful, disrespectful, Qin has a few words that he wants to ask the good man to convey to Master Meng, can you take a step to speak?" ”

After that, Qin Chuan whispered to the side, "Prepare to capture this group alive", and then left his subordinates in place and rode forward alone.

The man hesitated for a moment, and then urged his horse to come.

Descending to the shallow ditch between the two mountain beams, when the two sides stopped ten steps away, Qin Chuan also saw each other's appearances clearly.

The man looked less than thirty years old, and his appearance was unremarkable, but his eyes were attentive, and there was a faint fierce momentum between his rough eyebrows.

After looking at it for a moment, Qin Chuan arched his hand and asked, "Brother, your surname?" ”

"Don't be surnamed Zhao."

Qin Chuan asked again: "Brother Zhao used to be the border army who didn't accept it at night?" ”

The man frowned: "Who are you?" ”

"Lou annoys the inspection envoy, the chief steward of Mengjiazhuang, Qin Chuan."

The man frowned, looked at him fixedly for a moment, and then said indifferently: "If you have anything to convey to Master Du, let's talk about it quickly." ”

Qin Chuan smiled and asked again, "How much money does Du Yingguang pay you a month?" ”

The man didn't speak, only sneered.

Qin Chuan said again: "Come and follow me, I can give you twice as much, in addition to the silver, you and your brothers will be indispensable in the future." ”

"Heh, hehe......" The man shook his head and smiled, "Zhao Mouzhi is not in the Du family, let alone in the land of Lou Fu, I'm afraid I will disappoint the Grand Steward of Qin, if the Grand Steward wants to arrest the deserters in exchange for credit, he can show his knife and speak openly." ”

Qin Chuan shook his head and smiled: "Not long ago, Qin Mou just beheaded thousands of Liukou, naturally there is no shortage of credit, Brother Zhao's head is not worth a few dollars to Qin, what Qin wants is Brother Zhao and your brothers." ”

"As for the land of the projectiles...... Of course, Qin's ambition is not here, but lies in the whole world, from the East China Sea to Wusizang, and from Qiongzhou Mansion to the Saibei Desert in the north and south. ”

Hearing his words, the man frowned: "You want to rebel?" ”

"That's right, I want to rebel, I want to seize the world, I have the territory, soldiers and horses, and food, as long as you are willing to come to me, and keep you prosperous in the future."

The man didn't speak, just looked at Qin Chuan fixedly.

Qin Chuan was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for his reply.

After a long time, the man shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the Great Steward of Qin, my brothers and I have already received the Du family's monthly money, eaten the Du family's wine and meat, and now they are members of the Du family." ”

Qin Chuan frowned slightly: "What if the Du family dies?" ”

The man also frowned: "The chief steward wants to do something to the Du family?" ”

Qin Chuan nodded calmly: "Not only the Du family, I will uproot all the big households in Jingle Lan County." ”

"Huh." The man smiled inexplicably, "The chief steward is ambitious, Zhao admires, but dozens of big households in Jingle Lan County have long been entrenched here, and their strength should not be underestimated, and they are intertwined with each other, which is intricate, how can the chief steward be easily removed?" ”

Qin Chuan smiled again: "Why don't Brother Zhao go to Mengjiazhuang to live for a while first, and see how I can uproot those big households?" ”

"Excuse me, Zhao received the Du family's salary, ate the Du family's wine and meat, and couldn't do that treacherous thing."

"Brother Zhao is righteous, Qin admires, but ...... Qin didn't want to fight, but Brother Zhao really made Qin very embarrassed. ”

"Is it possible for Grand Steward Qin to kill Zhao?"

"No, Qin just wants to snatch Brother Zhao back to Mengjiazhuang."

As soon as the words fell, Qin Chuan rushed forward, drew a javelin from under the saddle, and threw it at the man's mount.

The man reacted quickly, quickly drew a shield, leaned in to block it, and the javelin pierced through the wooden shield, grazing his arm for several inches.

Between the throws and the blocks, Qin Chuan had already ridden his horse in front of him, and the second javelin was also thrown.

The man didn't care about the javelin, but threw the shield in his hand towards Qin Chuan, and pulled out his waist knife with his backhand, and jumped over.

The moment the javelin was hit by the war horse, the man jumped high and slashed towards Qin Chuan with the momentum of breaking the mountain.

Qin Chuan was shocked, hurriedly turned around, and raised the javelin in his hand.

Hearing only a "click", the man's waist knife slashed the javelin extremely sharply, and slashed at Qin Chuan's shoulder.

Qin Chuan scolded angrily, and swept away the severed javelin shaft in his hand.

The man originally wanted to kill Qin Chuan with one blow, but Qin Chuan turned around to avoid the vital point, and after the knife was only slashed on the shoulder, he realized that something was wrong.

The surnamed Qin wore a cotton armor inside, and was resisted by a javelin, and the waist knife was not deep into the flesh, or the surname Qin's life would be lost.

When the surnamed Qin swept the javelin over, he was in mid-air, there was no way to dodge, there was no way to dodge, and the javelin swept on his façade.

With a "bang", the man fell to the ground, his face covered in blood.

Qin Chuan rode around his horse, jumped off the horse in pain, and put the long knife in his hand on his neck.

"Brother Zhao, come back to Mengjiazhuang with me."
