Chapter 786: The Greatest Luck

The two young men were startled by the sudden change, and after being stunned for a while, one of them reacted, and was just about to shout when he was stunned by Zuo Mingciao's palm.

The foreigners who went in before were only concerned about killing people in the house, and the two companions outside were abolished, and they didn't notice it. After Zuo Mingcia knocked the two young men unconscious, he pushed the door into the house, opened a pack of fan powder at the door, and spilled it in with a shake of his hand.

The foreigners in the house screamed a few times, fired a few shots out of the door and rushed out, Zuo Mingcia hid behind the door, came out and put down one by one, seven or eight foreigners in the house were all caught without much effort, and the people from the Xiao Riding School came in and tied all these people with ropes, and each person carried one and then withdrew.

When I returned to the store of the world, it was still dark, and Zuo Mingcian and Zhou Mingli interrogated them overnight.

One of the foreigners was in the inn before, and the later foreigners obviously came to arrest him, so the first person to interrogate the two was this person. After pouring a basin of cold water, the effect of ** gradually passed, and the foreigner woke up leisurely.

Zuo Mingcian glanced at this person and couldn't help but smile: "This foreigner's life is not much different, but I can't tell my age." ”

Zhou Mingli said: "These foreigners are better, but those black foreign minions are not easy to identify." I went to the Principality of Rus' last time to pick up Andrew's younger siblings, and after going to the Principality of Rus, I found that the customs and habits were completely different from those of the Central Plains. Foreigners like them have a pale complexion, and they look much different from the people of Northern Liao, with blue eyes and high noses. In the big families of the Principality of Rus, there were many foreign slaves who had been taken captive, and their complexions were as black as charcoal, and they looked like ghosts. The whole body is so dark, but the teeth are white and scary. ”

Zuo Mingcian said: "It's really the same rice to raise a hundred kinds of people, if it weren't for this time to come to Muping, I really haven't seen foreigners...... Except for Andrew. ”

Zhou Mingli saw that the foreigner woke up, moved a chair and sat over and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The foreigner opened his eyes and looked at it, and found that he was no longer in the small inn before, and there was no one in front of him who had captured him, so he was a little confused.

"Where is this?"

He actually knew some Chinese, but his pronunciation was a little vague.

"It doesn't matter where this is, at least you're safer than those foreigners."

Zhou Mingli asked: "Your name, why did other foreigners arrest you?" ”

"Because...... In business, they think we're stealing their customers. You should know that people like us who come to Dasui to do business now have to come secretly, because the Sui people don't allow us to come. Those who can come have paid a big price, and naturally they don't want competitors to exist. ”

The foreigner was silent for a moment before replying.

Zuo Mingcian sneered, beckoned to call in a Xiao riding school and gave a few orders, and the Xiao riding school went out immediately, and after a while, a few people came in with a foreigner and threw it on the ground.

"Cut off his ear."

Zuo Mingcicada commanded.

Two horsemen went up and held down the man, and the other pulled out his dagger and cut off the foreigner's ear. Because he kept his mouth shut, the foreigner's screams were muffled and could not be transmitted far. This house has been rebuilt all over the world, and the sound insulation is not bad. The foreigner before was obviously startled, and subconsciously shrank back.

"What's your name?"

Zuo Mingcia asked.

"My name is Droz."

He replied.

"Why are these people arresting you?"

"Because business ......"

Before he could finish answering, Zuo Mingcian immediately ordered: "Kill that foreigner." ”

The man from the Xiao Riding School pressed the foreigner's head and slashed his neck. Blood immediately spurted out of the broken artery, and a large stain of blood soon spread on the bluestone floor. The foreigner snorted a few times in his throat, and after a few blood blisters, he swallowed.

"Ask you again, don't answer, the next one is you. I don't have time to talk to you, I just want a straightforward and honest answer. If you are not willing to give me this answer, then the remaining people who capture you must be willing to seize the chance to live. ”

Zuo Mingcia waved his hand, and the people from the Xiao Riding School dragged the body down.

Delo's face was as white as paper, he glanced at Zuo Mingcicada, and he could see the coldness in the eyes of this Han man, and he was sure that this person would really attack him.

Zuo Mingcian glanced at him and said, "If you don't want to say it, then I'll give you a start first...... You are a member of the Principality of Rus', a subordinate of the former Grand Duke of Rus'. And these people who captured you are the people of the new master of the Duchy of Rus, Grand Duke Thurence, right? You are a Rus' rebel, and you came to the Great Sui to sell firearms to the Sui people in exchange for money and help, right? ”

Delo's face obviously changed, he didn't expect that the Han man in front of him would know so much.

Zuo Mingcian said lightly: "I asked you, not because we don't know, but because we want to be sure that what we know is right." Finally, I would like to remind you that there is only one chance to live, and it is up to you to say it or not...... And, how do you know we're not helping you? Perhaps, I am also interested in what you sell to others. ”

"Your Excellency."

Droz said: "You are right, I am from the Resistance Army of the Rus' Principality, and I am here to ask for help. The people who captured me were the men of Thurence, a group of demons who had invaded my homeland! ”

Zuo Mingcian nodded: "Did you sell your firearms to Mu Fu?" ”

Droz shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know who my buyer is yet. The Eastern Chu people helped me contact the buyer and told me that they were very powerful nobles in the Sui State, with hundreds of thousands of troops, and they were fully capable of helping the Rus' people regain their homeland. That's why I sell my firearms at a low price, just to meet the buyers. But the buyer was mysterious and told me to wait until I had more goods ready to meet me. ”

Zuo Mingcian and Zhou Mingli glanced at each other, estimating that this foreigner was not lying.

"How many firearms did you sell?"

Zhou Mingli asked.

"Three thousand muskets and twenty artillery pieces, this is the last shipment, and it has been shipped in batches before."

Zuo Mingcia was stunned: "What a big stroke!" ”

Zhou Mingli said: "The people of Xiurens are not just here to arrest you, right? ”

Dero nodded: "As far as I know, they are also here to do business with the Sui people." But they don't sell firearms, and the army under Thurence is equipped with firearms from the Opru Empire, which are much more powerful than those made by us Rus'. The people of Shurens knew that the Sui people did not have muskets, so they would not sell them as goods. They should have come to unite with you Sui people to deal with the Eastern Chu people. ”

"What?"

Zuo Mingciao's face changed: "Deal with the Dongchu people? ”

"Yes!"

Droz said: "Lyman the Great of the Opru Empire is an ambitious man, he spent five years conquering all the countries around the Opru Empire, and the Aegean Empire was the last to be destroyed. He had no enemies on that continent, and this man's ambition was big enough to hold the entire sky. He wanted more than what he got now, so he began to prepare to march to this side of the ocean after the destruction of the Aegean Empire. ”

"And the Eastern Chu State is the first stone in front of Lyman the Great. Xiurens sent people this time, he must have united with you Sui people, and asked you Sui people not to help the Eastern Chu State. ”

Zhou Mingli's mouth opened slightly, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"The foreigners in the Tongsheng Inn seem to be the ones sent by Xiurens. They went to Yang Shunhui's mansion, could it be that they were talking to Yang Shun about this? ”

Zuo Mingcian was silent for a while and said: "You stay and continue to interrogate those foreigners, I will take someone to arrest those foreigners in the Tongsheng Inn, there is still an hour or so before dawn, it should be too late!" ”

He got up and strode out, beckoning the people from the Xiao Riding School to leave the shop again and go straight to the Tongsheng Inn.

……

……

"The city is so beautiful"

Peter stood on the second floor of the Tongsheng Inn and looked out the window: "The buildings here, the food here, and the women here are all so beautiful...... To be honest, I really want to go deeper into the Sui Kingdom, and it is best to see what Chang'an, known as the most heroic city in the world, looks like, whether it is more magnificent than the capital of the Oplu Empire. ”

"I've heard that this country is huge, at least as big as dozens of Rus' principalities. Snow is still falling on the northernmost border, and flowers are already blooming on the southernmost border. On foot, you can't walk from the north side of the empire to the southernmost point for a year, and the same goes for the east and west...... Such a vast land, rich and charming. ”

His old servant bowed his head and said: "Dongchu is just a springboard, after the imperial army destroys Dongchu, they can use Dongchu as a base to attack the Great Sui." ”

Peter nodded: "I heard that there is an empire called Mengyuan in the west of the Great Sui, the territory is wider than that of the Great Sui, there is an endless grassland, producing the most precious and vigorous war horses and the purest and rare jade. I've seen so little...... Across the ocean, the world is so different. And the most exciting thing is that the people here are still so backward. The army of the Sui State was still armed with steel swords and bows and arrows, how could such an army defend their homeland in the face of artillery? ”

"It's fascinating."

Peter sighed: "It's a pity that I have to leave before I can take a good look at the country." ”

"Leave?"

The old servant was a little puzzled: "Aren't we waiting for Yang Shunhui's reply?" ”

"I also want to stay a few more days, and it would be better if I have the opportunity to meet the person from the Mu Mansion...... I heard that Mu Mansion is the most powerful nobleman in the east of the Great Sui, with hundreds of thousands of troops, and even the royal family of Sui has nothing to do with Mu Mansion. We're here to find a way for the army, and it's a shame to go back without even figuring out the enemy's situation, but ...... Gotta go. ”

He glanced back at the old servant: "The man sent to arrest the Rus rebels has not returned yet, apparently something has happened." If I was either caught by the rebels of the Rus, or by the guards of the merchants of Eastern Chu, I was too careless, thinking that I could easily catch the rebels and ask the rebels about their whereabouts. Now, I'm afraid that the people I sent are being forced to be questioned by others, I don't think anyone can withstand the torture, and my subordinates don't have that kind of perseverance, go ahead, pack up your things, and now let's go to Yang Shunhui's mansion and leave the city at dawn. ”

"Go to Yang Shunhui's mansion?"

The old servant thought for a while and then understood: "It is the safest in Yang Shunhui's mansion, and the person who received your gold will definitely be willing to provide a little help." ”

Peter hummed and turned back. After a short time, the old servant packed up his things and took the remaining guards to protect Peter and went to the General's Mansion of Yang Shunhui. They had only walked for less than half an hour, and Zuo Mingcian led people to the Tongsheng Inn. The people from the Xiao Riding School did not find any trace of the foreigners, and Zuo Mingcian was annoyed in his heart.

He took the people around the street for a while without noticing, and when it was dawn, he had to return to the shops where the goods were going all over the world.

After dawn, Yang Shunhui personally sent Peter and his party out of the city, and Yang Shunhui also agreed to their request to allow people from the Duchy of Xiurensi to come to the Great Sui to do business. He watched Peter and them go as if he were seeing off an old friend of many years.

When boarding the big ship, Peter looked back at Mu Pingcheng and sighed, "I don't know how long it will take to come back." ”

The old servant bowed his head and said, "Soon, the imperial army will plant the national flag on the city wall of Muping." ”

"Thurence!"

Peter smiled and said, "You are so lucky to have caught up with such a wonderful era. If you were older, you wouldn't see the glory of the empire. ”

"yes...... I'm really lucky.

The old servant said sincerely: "To serve you, my respected Lyman the Great, this is the luckiest thing in my life!" ”
