Chapter Seventy-Eight: Tearing the Skin
A string of lights slowly came towards the restaurant, and Zhao Tianyou, who was sitting on the eaves, had his eyes getting brighter and brighter, turned over with a brush, and jumped down from the fourth floor lightly.
"Wake up the sleeping brothers and prepare for war!"
These more than 100 pirates and sailors had received Zhao Tianyou's password in advance, and it was strictly forbidden to drink alcohol during the banquet, so that everyone could eat well as soon as possible, and rest early when they returned to the restaurant, preparing to return to the ship tomorrow morning.
Zhao Tianyou tied a longbow and arrow pot on his back, holding a long knife in his left and right hands, standing at the gate of the restaurant majestically, and his subordinates behind him were ready, each holding a sharp blade and concentrating on guard. After a while, a group of Zhangzhou soldiers armed with steel knives and spears drove over and surrounded the entire restaurant from front to back.
"What are you going to do?"
Zhao Tianyou questioned the soldier standing with a knife at the gate, but no one paid attention to him, and after a while, a lieutenant hurriedly ran over and saluted Zhao Tianyou at the door.
"Tonight, there are Yuan soldiers who have infiltrated Zhangzhou City, we are hurrying to arrest and pursue, Lord Deng is afraid of disturbing Master Zhao's rest, so I will bring five hundred soldiers to protect Master Zhao!"
Zhao Tianyou followed: "Then you have worked hard, but we have urgent matters, and we are ready to leave Zhangzhou now, do you want to help us inform Master Wen, I will not say goodbye in person!" ”
"I'm sorry, you can't leave the restaurant, that's what I was told!"
Zhao Tianyou knew that it was useless to say anything to him, from the cold talk attitude at the beginning, to the current desire to forcibly keep people, the purpose was too obvious, and it was naturally the production method of the thunder. Zhao Tianyou asked himself, he definitely didn't have the intention of hiding the production method, otherwise there would not be the three craftsmen of the gunpowder workshop who followed, and the craftsmanship of these three people was definitely a good hand at being able to take charge of himself.
I really know people and faces, but I didn't expect Zhao Tianyou to break this matter at the banquet, which caused such a crisis. Zhao Tianyou felt a little aggrieved in his heart, the goose feather gift was light and affectionate, I am sending arms that are more valuable than gold, you actually treat me like this, do you still have a conscience?
He didn't know how much Wen Tianxiang was involved in it, but he was the biggest official, and Deng Huaiyuan dared to use the sword without his approval? If you dare to turn your face like this and not recognize people, aren't you afraid that I, Zhao Tianyou, will turn your Zhangzhou City upside down? Out of personal admiration for Wen Tianxiang, so there is this support action, if this matter is led by Wen Tianxiang, it is really a person who does not know what to do, then Zhao Tianyou's heart will be hurt.
And Wen Tianxiang's current treatment is the same as Zhao Tianyou's, hundreds of heavily armed sergeants surrounded the residence, Deng Huaiyuan has already made up his mind, first put Wen Tianxiang under house arrest, and then plead guilty when he gets the production method of thunder.
Deng Huaiyuan rushed to the outside of the restaurant where Zhao Tianyou lived with more than a dozen deputy generals, and when he saw Zhao Tianyou, who was fully armed, his heart trembled inexplicably. That kind of taste was very uncomfortable, especially after Zhao Tianyou's bright eyes, he actually had a trace of self-shame, and nodded slightly embarrassedly to avoid Zhao Tianyou's eyes.
"Lord Deng, have you caught Yuan Bing's spies? With Zhao's help, I have a lot of experience in catching spies! ”
Deng Huaiyuan arched his hand and said, "Master Zhao, how offended!" As the governor of Zhangzhou and the parent official of 200,000 people within a radius of 100 miles, Huaiyuan has the responsibility and obligation to protect their safety and let them live and work in peace and contentment.
But now that the national disaster is at hand, the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty is haunted, burning and looting the people everywhere, committing heinous crimes. Although Huaiyuan had the intention to kill the enemy, the army lacked horses, and it was difficult to chase and attack the Yuan soldiers, so he could only stick to the city and do his best to keep one side safe.
And Master Zhao is a capable man in the world, and he can make a firearm that is several times more powerful than the ordnance superintendent, which is really a great blessing for my Song Dynasty, and Deng Huaiyuan admires Master Zhao incomparably. ”
Speaking of this, Deng Huaiyuan paused for a moment and looked sideways at Zhao Tianyouyou's reaction. Xindao: If you know each other, hurry down the next step and take the initiative to ask to join the Zhangzhou City Defense Army and teach you how to make thunder, then everyone will not tear their faces.
But Zhao Tianyou, who was holding the knife in front of his chest with his hands crossed, had no waves on his calm face, only a pair of sparkling eyes, still looking directly at Deng Huaiyuan, as if he had seen through his inner thoughts.
"It's better for Huaiyuan to recommend Master Zhao as an official and join the Zhangzhou City Defense Army, I promise to give Master Zhao the position of a cavalry general, I don't know what Master Zhao wants?"
Zhao Tianyou smiled and shook his head and said: "I have received Lord Deng's wishes, Zhao Tianyou is used to being unrestrained and does not like to be an official." ”
"Then Master Zhao is willing to take out the method of making thunder and teach it to the craftsmen in Zhangzhou?"
"What if you are willing, and what if you are not willing?"
Zhao Tianyou's eyes gradually became cold, and with the verbal confrontation, Deng Huaiyuan must have tried to be poor and threatened Zhao Tianyou. Zhao Tianyou is amiable on weekdays, and he gets along with Du Hu very casually, basically he has no habit of being anxious and red-faced with people, but he is really angry now.
"It's naturally good to be willing, personal gains and losses are trivial things for the sake of resisting the great cause of the Yuan, and I will also take out the treasury silver to reward Master Zhao. If you don't want to, don't blame me for using tough measures against Master Zhao, it won't look good when my face is torn! ”
"I'll your cheeks! Look at you like a dog or a literati, your dog brain has gone up, and the heart of courtesy, righteousness and shame has been eaten by pigs? As the lord of a city, don't you thank me for supporting the defense of the city, and actually play the idea of the production method, do you understand what you call ingeniousness! Is that how your parents taught you to do things? ”
Zhao Tianyou's continuous foul scolding Deng Huaiyuan gritted his teeth vigorously, his face was as hot as fire, and he stretched out his hand to point at Zhao Tianyou and said angrily: "You, you, you are so bold, as a civilian in cloth, you dare to insult this official when you see that you don't pay respects to worship this official." Come on, come on, take him down for me, and slap me hard. ”
Zhao Tianyou's words are reasonable, aren't you just forcibly grabbing, you have taken a fancy to other people's things, and you are not satisfied with giving them for nothing, so it is really unfair to leave even the production method. Several lieutenants and subordinates around Deng Huaiyuan showed their blades, although they were reluctant to do so, but the generals had to step forward to take people.
"Sure enough, you military generals are even more brainless, is what he said right? Do you have a light on your face when you serve as an errand for a man who has no shame, and draw a sword against those who help you? Save some strength, wait for the Yuan soldiers to attack, so that you can fight with them with a knife! ”
Zhao Tianyou stood up in front of the door of the restaurant, under the reflection of the lanterns on both sides, holding two knives majestic, like a god descending to earth!
And a few generals who drew out their blades were a little embarrassed by Zhao Tianyou's words, and Cancan was a little reluctant to come forward to fight, Deng Huaiyuan, who was watching, was furious, pointed at Zhao Tianyou and shouted: "Give it to me!" ”
