Chapter 243: One Hundred Thousand Sulfur

Seed Master Dao looked at the letter sent by Yang Keshi secretly, his brows furrowed, and he didn't speak for a long time. The seed master said hurriedly on the side: "Big brother, what did Yang Xiaozi say in his letter?" Could it be that something big is happening? ”

The seed master came back to his senses and said, "It's also a big deal-Keshi met a man named Zhou Nan in the Fanren cottage......"

The seed master interjected: "Big brother, you too, what is the big deal for Yang boy to get acquainted with someone?" ”

The seed master Dao glared at the seed master and said, "You are not too young, so your temperament can't be calmer." It is naturally not a matter to get acquainted with the Han people of Fandi, but the Han people first led more than 100 people to repel the attack of thousands of Liao troops, and a few days ago Zhou Nan took a few people to persuade the Yizhou guards to be willing to sacrifice the city to my Great Song Dynasty. ”

The planter was surprised and said, "This is indeed a big deal. ”

The seed master Dao Youyou said: "This is not counting, this Zhou Nan took a hundred soldiers, ran to Zhuozhou, and persuaded Zhuozhou to surrender, and several guards in Zhuozhou were also used by him to fight each other secretly, and they all died." ”

The planter no longer speaks, and persuades a Yizhou to surrender, it may be a coincidence, or he has a good relationship with the Yizhou guard, or the Yizhou guard happens to have the heart to surrender; But this Zhou Nan dared to persuade Zhuozhou to surrender again, and several guards in Zhuozhou did not fight in the past, but after he passed, he fought in the past? This is obviously for this Zhou Nan to play to death.

And as mentioned earlier, more than 100 people guarding the cottage can repel the attack of thousands of Liao troops, can this be said to be luck? In terms of resourcefulness, eloquence, and combat power, which one is not the best? It's ridiculous that their 100,000-strong army is still shrinking in this Xiongzhou city, which is really embarrassing.

Seed Master Dao said: "Ke Shi originally took elite soldiers to sneak attack, but was chased and killed by Xiao Gan's army, and inadvertently met this Zhou Nan, and took in Ke Shi and the remaining two hundred remnants. Now Keshi has sent the account books of Zhuoyi Erzhou to Tong Guan, and said that Zhou Nan does not want this credit. ”

"No credit?!" The planter himself also felt like a child who had never seen the world today.

"Yes, there are only two conditions, first, before taking Yanjing, the Song army is not allowed to cross the river; Second, 100,000 catties of sulfur. The planter said calmly.

"What?! 100,000 pounds of sulfur? The planter exclaimed again.

"Strange, right? Not being allowed to cross the river can also be said to be afraid of disturbing his plans, and Yu Imperial Court has nothing to lose. But why do you need 100,000 catties of sulfur? Sulfur is nothing more than used in medicine, to kill insects and pestilence, so you can't use so much sulfur, right? Or used for gunpowder, but the craftsmen who make gunpowder in Beijing have never been allowed to pass on or make it, and even you and I don't know how to make gunpowder, not to mention how he is a man from the mountains and wilderness, how can he make this gunpowder? What's more, such a great merit is 100,000 catties of gunpowder, so Tong Guan will do whatever he wants, so why bother to turn around and only need sulfur? The seed master said all kinds of possibilities in one breath, and only felt that his inference was correct, but he just couldn't think of the purpose of 100,000 catties of sulfur.

"Big brother, what do you want to do with sulfur? Now I just want Yang Xiaozi to tell you what his intentions are in secret. The planter said impatiently.

"Isn't that easy? Naturally, he can't trust Tong Guan, or he wants to use the relationship between you and me to reveal this matter in Beijing, so as to prevent Tong Guan from being greedy for military merits - no, he doesn't want credit, so why should he be afraid of being greedy for military merits? He arranged it like this, he must not have wanted Tong Guan to take this credit alone. The seed master said in an analysis.

"This person just doesn't want Tong Guan to have a good time! Hahaha! Interesting, you have to help this busy big brother, how many soldiers of our Western Army were buried in a foreign land and were not allowed to go home, and they didn't want to step on the bones of our Western Army to receive the reward. Zhou Nan, this kid is interesting! The planter said happily.

"I naturally know what to do, don't reveal this, and see what the result is in the end." The planter instructed.

Zhou Fu pretended to be a guy from the inn and waited outside the gate of Gaofu, and when he saw Zhou Nan coming out, he hurriedly said to Zhou Nan: "This must be General Zhou, there are a few guests in my store, saying that they are friends of the general, and they know that the general is now in Yizhou, so he asked someone to find the general." My shopkeeper asked the little one to try his luck here, and he didn't know that it was here. ”

Zhou Nan knew that there must be something in the inn, and it was inconvenient to talk here, so he said, "Lead the way and lead me to your store." ”

Zhou Fu led Zhou Nan and walked towards the inn, Zhou Nan asked, "What's going on in the inn?" Is Yang Datou back? No, it's too fast. ”

Zhou Fu walked a few steps and said, "You'll know when you arrive." Turning around, he entered the inn, and directly led Zhou Nan to a large guest room in a single courtyard in the backyard, and said to Zhou Nan: "There are people from the village, waiting inside." He didn't ask Zhou Nan, so he went out by himself.

Zhou Nanzheng was wondering, suddenly the door of the guest house opened, and a person flashed out of it, half of the apricot yellow shirt, a moon-white long skirt, a snow-white goose egg face, slender eyebrows, eyes like clear Hong, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his sideburns and hair were blowing, like a breeze blowing in the fields in May. It was Gao Yun who secretly walked out of Sanssouci Village.

Zhou Nan asked happily, "Yun'er, when did you come?" Fortunately, I came to Yizhou, and I haven't seen you two days earlier. ”

Gao Yun heard him say "two days earlier", and suddenly remembered Zhou Nan's injury two days ago, so he didn't speak, turned around and went back to the house.

Zhou Nan was strange, and followed up and asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Gao Yun's face sank, turned his face away, and said, "Why do the slaves speak?" Xiao Si'er sent someone back to the mountain, why didn't he tell the slave family that you ......"

Zhou Nan was even more strange and asked, "Of course, the fourth brother sent people back to the mountain to do things in a hurry, what do I have to say?" ”

Gao Yun finally couldn't help it, and said: "The slave family only wishes you peace day and night on the mountain, but you, but why are you so careless...... The slave family is ...... The ...... who sneaked down the mountain said that his eyes were red, and tears were even more dripping, Gao Yun hurriedly turned his face again, not wanting to show Zhou Nan.

Hearing Gao Yun say that she secretly came down the mountain to see him, Zhou Nan was greatly moved, and a little worried, and asked, "Even if you secretly went down the mountain, why didn't you let someone send you?" If there is something on your way, how can Brother Gao and I rest assured? ”

Gao Yun was much more relieved when she saw Zhou Nan just now, but now Zhou Nan was worried about her, which made Gao Yun have a shame on her face, and said: "Don't worry, Da Lang, the slave family left a letter to my brother when he went down the mountain, and the slave family asked Xiaofuzi's team of Eagle Guards to accompany him." ”

Zhou Nan asked about the things in the cottage, Gao Yun naturally talked about it in detail, and told Zhou Nan about the two inns; Zhou Nan also told Gao Yun bit by bit about his experience in the past few days, and finally said: "I have already heard Xiaosi say about your hard work in the cottage, and I asked you to run over for me this time, I will be careful in the future." ”

After hearing this, Gao Yun sighed for a long time and said softly: "Da Lang, the slave family knows that you are doing great things, for the people in the village, for the people of Zhuozhou and Yizhou, but you also have to take care of yourself, don't let others worry about you, no matter how hard the slave family is, it is better than worrying." ”

The two stood face to face at this time, listening to Gao Yun's words, Zhou Nan was stunned all of a sudden, smelling the fragrance in Gao Yun's hair, and couldn't help but grab Gao Yun's green and jade hands, only to feel that this is how they have been guarding each other, and it is already the most beautiful and moving moment in the world.
