Chapter 858: Please also ask the prince to prepare early

Because of his past achievements, after the Manchu court settled in Beijing, the Fan family was canonized as an imperial merchant, and Fan Yongdou was appointed by the Qing court to preside over trade affairs. For example, in this Southern Expedition, the Fan family was responsible for part of the military supplies.

Therefore, the Fan family has the status of an official and businessman in the Qing court, and they can enter and leave freely in Linqing City.

Fan Tianyu returned to Linqing City, personally inspected the materials transported by the Fan family's caravan, and handed them over to the quartermaster of the Qing army. Then under the pretext of continuing to raise materials, he left Linqing. Naturally, no one cares about his departure.

"Fifth master. It's ready. A man in black rode up to Fan Tianyu's side and said in a low voice.

Fan Tianyu nodded and ordered the caravan to camp. The caravan of hundreds of men began to set up camp in an orderly manner, preparing to light a fire and cook meals.

Fan Tianyu called the steward of the caravan and whispered a few words.

"Fifth Master, where did you leave the caravan?" The steward asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry where you go, I have something important to do! You told the public that I had a chill and needed to sit in the carriage to recuperate, and make the illusion that I was still in the caravan. After arriving in Tongzhou, the eldest young master will meet you, and then the eldest young master will be in charge of everything in the caravan. Fan Tianyu commanded, and the steward hesitated and agreed.

It was getting dark soon, Fan Tianyu changed into a strong suit, pulled down the two sides of the felt hat to cover his face, got out of the carriage and began to patrol the camp, and soon disappeared outside the camp.

"Fifth Master come with me!" A man dressed in black appeared not far from the camp.

"Is the person you're looking for reliable?" Fan Tianyu asked in a cold voice.

"The fifth master can rest assured, they are all horse bandits who wander around the northwest of Lu, and they have always only recognized money and not people. The little thing of escorting you south is a breeze for them. ”

The two of them walked four or five miles to the east, entered a river valley, and a black hole cave house appeared in front of them.

The man in black stepped forward and knocked on the door, the door opened wide, and a pair of cold eyes looked at him under the dim light.

......

The moon and stars are scarce, and in the dark night, seven or eight war horses gallop eastward. Fan Tianyu's body fluctuated with the war horse, and he suddenly regretted it, wondering if these horse bandits would really keep their promises. Or they will kill themselves altogether after taking the silver. After all, it was too dangerous to pass through the defense line of the Linqing Qing army.

The horse team walked forward for a while, Fan Tianyu discerned the direction, and his heart gradually settled down. It turned out to be all the way to the east, and it seems that the horse bandits were trying to bypass Linqing and go around to Jinan.

The horses walked in the middle of the night, stopped at dawn, and hid in a dense forest.

Spend a day in this dense forest, and then go back on the road until it gets dark.

Walking at night is naturally not fast, even if there are horses to walk on your behalf. Fortunately, these horse bandits were very familiar with the area and knew how to avoid the town and avoid the Qing army. But it was precisely because it was a remote path that it took three days to cross the Daqing River and approach Jinan while it was just dawn.

"Further on is the territory of the Ming army, we can only send you here." The leader of the horse bandits, who barely spoke to Fan Tianyu along the way, said coldly.

Fan Tianyu nodded, and took out a jade pendant from his arms, "Give this jade pendant to the person who contacts you, and he will give you the other half of the silver taels." Remember, no rumors are allowed to leak out of this matter. ”

The leader of the horse bandits took the jade pendant with a smile: "Don't worry, our family doesn't even know which one you are, and we definitely won't talk nonsense." ”

"Big boss!" A horse bandit suddenly screamed, and the leader of the horse bandits was startled, and he felt that the ground was shaking, and a cavalry of dozens of people was speeding towards him at high speed.

"The officers and soldiers are coming, run!" The leader of the bandits screamed, turned his horse's head and fled.

Looking at the horse bandits who fled in the wilderness, and looking at the Ming cavalry who were sprinting over, Fan Tianyu decisively jumped off the war horse and raised his hands.

Dozens of war horses rushed past Fan Tianyu like a whirlwind, and they stopped in front of Fan Tianyu, and a bright saber was on Fan Tianyu's neck.

"Who are you?" Cold words came out of the knight's mouth.

"Below is the old acquaintance of His Royal Highness King Qi, and there is an important military intelligence report to King Qi." Fan Tianyu said respectfully.

......

"There is an old acquaintance of this king from the north, and he also brought important military information?"

The governor of Linqing Mansion was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, which is his old acquaintance?

"The cavalry under my subordinate patrol caught him in the Daqing River, and he kept saying that it was your old acquaintance, so he sent him to Linqing." Yu Feng said with a smile, "After I asked, it was indeed your old acquaintance, that is, your subordinates all knew this person." ”

"Don't sell it, tell me who this person is?" Chen Yue scolded with a smile.

"Fan Tianyu, a member of the Fan family in Shanxi, when we were in Qingshikou, this person did a military supply for us. Do you remember, prince? Yu Feng said with a smile.

"Him!" Chen Yue also smiled, "Of course I remember, I also helped us a little in Qingshikou at the beginning." But hasn't the Fan family always followed Manchu as a traitor? Looking for this king to do something, do they still think about doing business with this king! ”

"I asked, and he kept saying that he had brought important military information, and he had to tell the prince in person." Yu Feng said with a smile.

"Let him in!" Chen Yue shook his head and ordered casually.

"Fan Tianyu of the grass people has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi, when he was in Qingshikou, the grass people knew that the prince was extraordinary, he would be able to soar one day, but I didn't expect that in a few years, you would be the king, which really made the grass people unimaginable."

Soon, Fan Tianyu was brought in by the soldiers, and when he saw Chen Yue kowtowing respectfully, the words of compliment came out of his mouth, which made people listen to the extra ironing.

"Hehe," Chen Yue smiled, "It's really an old man, the shopkeeper Fan has always been good, is the Fan family's business prosperous?" ”

Fan Tianyu suddenly smiled bitterly: "The grass people should die, the Fan family has done too many wrong things over the years, and they also ask the prince to atone for their sins." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me what you mean!" Chen Yue didn't have the energy to catch up with him, and everyone didn't have much friendship, so he asked directly.

"Lord Wang, the Fan family has done a lot of wrong things over the years, and the grass people feel deeply guilty, but as a child of the Fan family, they are helpless many times, but the grass people are from the Ming Dynasty and the Han family, and they dare not forget their identity at any time. Now the Fan family is responsible for raising grain and grass for the Qing army, and the grass people inadvertently detect a plot against the Manchu Qing Dynasty against the prince's army, so they risk their lives to report the news. ”

Fan Tianyu put on a posture of a loyal man, washed himself and the Fan family, and then told Dolgon about his plan to unite with the Shun army to deal with the Ming army.

"Your uncle was ordered to go to Shaanxi to lobby the thieves, but you went to our army to inform, should I believe you?" Chen Yue looked at Fan Tianyu quietly and asked coldly.

"What the grass people said is true, and they will never dare to deceive the prince!" Fan Tianyu swore with a curse, "This plan is offered by Fan Wencheng, a scholar of the Manchu Dynasty, and my uncle has to obey it, after all, hundreds of members of my Fan family are under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty." However, the Fan family, as a Ming person, couldn't bear to see our Ming army suffer heavy losses because of this, so the grass people persuaded their uncle to come and report the news.
