Chapter 120: Return to Dingtao
"This Tang Liyi has already sent five letters in a month to ask me to hurry up and inquire about the situation, what should I do now." Lin Jie took the letter that was only sent today and walked to Luo Yuechan's side.
Luo Yuechan slowly stood up after receiving the letter, "Let's give him a little information now, just on the letter, it says that these weapons are so powerful through gunpowder, after all, with Tang Liyi's means, they will definitely learn through some other channels." ”
Recently, Yanzhou has been purchasing gunpowder on a large scale, and you can find out after a little inquiry. If Lin Jie hadn't even sent back this basic information, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
"Understood, I'll reply to the letter."
After watching Lin Jie leave, Luo Yuechan couldn't help but smile when she looked at the map hanging on her wall. Those maps mark the places where spies and spies lurk.
Although the scale of the current intelligence network is not too large, it has begun to take shape. As long as there is an army movement nearby, they can't escape the eyes of these people, they are Lu Zhan's most secret weapons.
Lu Zhan is now on his way to receive Dingtao, "If there is no urgent march, this march can be regarded as a kind of tourism." ”
"It's a trip for my lord, but for me it's better to go home, and I'm finally back after so many years."
Thinking of the tragic situation of the Duan family back then, Duan Xiaohan suddenly fell silent.
"I will definitely give you enough pomp and circumstance when I go back this time, so that everyone in Quandingtao will know that this family is back."
The families in Dingtao City were a few happy and a few worried about the arrival of Lu Zhan and Duan Xiaohan, worried about the families who helped the Song State slaughter the Duan family back then, and happy about the families who were kind to the Duan family back then.
Although the family that secretly helped the Duan family back then had no way to prevent the Duan family from being slaughtered, these people successfully helped Duan Xiaohan, who had no reliance at that time, to escape.
"The head of the family, this Xiaohan is about to enter our Dingtao with the army of Yanzhou, and what happened back then this Xiaohan will definitely take revenge on us."
The person asked was Zhao Xin, the head of the Zhao family in Dingtao, and it was he who took the lead in leading the private soldiers of the family to help the Song army break through the city gate.
Sure enough, feng shui rotates, thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river. Back then, he was the one who dominated the life of the Duan family, but now this Xiaohan turned into a kitchen knife and turned into fish and meat.
Seeing that the head of the family did not speak, the man said again: "Why don't we contact the family who participated in this matter back then, control Dingtao, and close the gate to block the Yanzhou army."
"It's ridiculous, these tens of thousands of troops have not been able to stop the Yanzhou army, and there are only a thousand people from our families combined. Even if you control Dingtao according to your idea, you won't be able to stop the Yanzhou army for long. ”
Zhao Xin let out a long sigh, not knowing what to do next. Or it is better to live than to die, and sell all the Zhao family's properties in Dingtao directly at a low price in a short period of time, and then move the family away directly before Duan Xiaohan comes.
As soon as this idea was proposed, many people in the Zhao family opposed it, not to mention that it would take a long time to prepare for the relocation of the family, and it would take a lot of money to deal with the industry in a short period of time.
"Father, after all, it was the Song people who did it back then, we just opened the city gate, and even if he pursued it, it would be impossible to directly copy our Zhao family. We just need to make some compensation with one blood. ”
It was the third young master of the Zhao family who spoke, although he said that he was the third son, but he was born to the main room. In his opinion, if Duan Xiaohan really wanted to destroy the Zhao family, it would inevitably cause panic among the other families back then. This will definitely be detrimental to Lu Zhan's rule of Yanzhou.
"The main generals of the Song army back then are already in the grave, and now this account can only be settled by me." Zhao Xin didn't want to stay in Dingtao, but in case Xiaohan was a person who would be revenged, then the Zhao family would be in danger.
"Father, third brother, in my opinion, it is better to dispose of part of the property first, let some people leave Yanzhou, and avoid the destruction of my Zhao family, I also agree, we can't put our eggs in one basket. We can't bet on whether Duan Xiaohan is a person who will let go of the Zhao family, rather than putting all his net worth and life in the hands of others, it is better to control it himself. ”
Zhao Xin saw that the eldest son and the second son were more mature than the third, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What can the future of the Zhao family do in the future, one side is the eldest son who is talented, and the other is the rightful son-in-law.
The third child, who has been favored since childhood, is still too young, and the advice put forward by the eldest son can be adopted. Some people were left to guard the family business, while others took refuge outside.
"Ahem, the people who stayed in Dingtao this time will undoubtedly face great danger, and once Duan Xiaohan finds out that I, the head of the family, have left, maybe he will be even more angry." Zhao Xin's words have already expressed his attitude of wanting to take refuge in the city.
This task of housekeeping can only be handed over to one of the three sons, after all, it is not safe to hand it over to outsiders. Zhao Xin's gaze swept over the three sons, and the most favored third child was naturally worried about leaving him in Dingtao.
The second child who made the proposal and the old nature who seconded the proposal were the last candidates, "The boss, the second." Whoever wants to stay behind the two of you is a dangerous thing, and I can't trust outsiders. ”
Although the eldest is the eldest son, among the three sons of the Zhao family, the one who is really bold and strategic is the second. The eldest avoided his father's gaze and secretly looked at the second child.
"Since I made the suggestion, I will naturally take care of the Zhao family's property."
After seeing the second child stand up, Zhao Xin gathered everyone from the Zhao family and said that he would hand over the Zhao family to the second young master to take care of it for a period of time in the future.
After packing up the gold and silver at home, he urgently dealt with a batch of industries, "Second brother, the burden will be handed over to you this time." ”
"Don't worry, father, I will take care of my family."
After watching the convoy leave, the corner of the housekeeper's mouth suddenly raised a subtle smile.
"Father, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the Zhao family. It's just my Zhao family. ”
Lu Zhan and Duan Xiaohan, who had been walking for several days, finally arrived outside Dingtao City, but Duan Xiaohan was restless along the way.
"Hey, now should be the time to be happy, more than ten years later, come for revenge, and the whole city is scared. It's all like yes plot. Lu Zhan couldn't help but think of some of the routines he had seen before.
"I thought I would be very happy, but I don't know why I'm feeling complicated now."
"Forget it, don't think about it so much, I also sent someone to pick up your sister, such a moment of victory should be shared with your family."
