The caravan came to an inn not far from the city gate, the inn is called Tang Ji Inn, needless to say, this is an inn opened by Tang Huai's family, and the Tang family has opened many inns in various places on Hebei Road, but now only a few are left to maintain business.

Seeing the arrival of a guest, the guy hurriedly greeted him warmly, "Welcome to the Tang Kee Inn, the shop is clean and tidy, the food is delicious, the price is low, and the guests are satisfied!" ”

The young merchant smiled and said, "Is the shopkeeper here?" ”

"The guest officer knows my shopkeeper!"

"A friend of mine is the nephew of the soup shopkeeper."

The guy hurriedly went back to report, and after a while, an obese man in his forties walked out, his name was Tang Zhengde, Tang Huai's fourth uncle, and one of the few people left in Hebei by the Tang family.

"You are ......" Tang Zhengde looked at the caravan suspiciously.

"In Xia Yanqing, it's Tang Huai's friend, should we go in and talk?"

The shopkeeper suddenly woke up, and hurriedly let Yan Qing and the others into the inn, and asked the guys to close the door and hang up the sign that it was full.

"Let's live in the backyard! To be honest, there are no customers at the moment. ”

The shopkeeper Tang Zhengde welcomed them into the backyard, and several guys went to arrange livestock, and in the room, Tang Zhengde invited Yan Qing to sit down, and asked in a low voice: "The guest officer is Song Jun!" ”

Yan Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Tang Huai and I are in the same account, both are under the account of Li Dutong, Uncle Tang should know us Li Dutong!" ”

"Of course I know, when he was a child, we called him Brother Qing, and now he has become a pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, I heard that he led the army to guard the capital, so that the Jin soldiers have nothing to do?"

"That's true, Li Dutong is currently serving as the defense envoy of Tokyo, and we have been sent to Hebei to act."

Tang Zhengde suddenly pointed at Yan Qing and said, "I know, you are flying horses!" ”

The Flying Cavalry is a cavalry of the Song Army that has been active in the Hebei West Road in recent times, and their reputation has spread throughout the Hebei West Road.

Yan Qing smiled slightly: "We are the flying horses, and our flying horse leader Uncle Tang is very familiar with it, it is Wang Gui." ”

"Ahh It turned out to be your brother. ”

Tang Zhengde exclaimed, and hurriedly asked, "What about my Tang Huai?" ”

"Brother Tang is currently in Tokyo, following Li Dutong to defend the capital."

"I see."

Tang Zhengde suddenly smiled slyly, "I know, your target this time must be ......."

Tang Zhengde pointed to the west, and the west was Liyangcang.

Yan Qing nodded, and asked again, "I wonder how much Uncle Tang knows about Liyang Cang?" ”

"I don't know much, I heard that there are tens of thousands of defenders, the guards are very tight, and the forage in it is piled up, anyway, I have never entered, and after the Jin soldiers are stationed, it is strictly forbidden for any Han people to enter."

Yan Qing didn't expect Tang Zhengde to tell him much information, what he needed more at the moment was weapons, he groaned and asked, "Can I buy a knife in the city?" ”

"There were originally two armory shops in the city, both of which have been ordered to close, but I am familiar with the shopkeeper of one of the armory shops, and if General Yan is willing to pay a high price, maybe he is willing to take the risk of selling."

"If the price is not a problem, it will be troublesome to Uncle Tang."

As he spoke, he put two gold bricks weighing fifty taels each on the table, "This is our accommodation money, not much silver, just a little heart, please Uncle Tang must accept it." ”

Although the soup shopkeeper has something to do with them, if you don't give others a little benefit, how can you let others feel at ease to do things for you.

Tang Zhengde's eyes were straight, one hundred taels of gold was equal to one thousand taels of silver, and it could be exchanged for eight thousand taels of silver on the black market, and the accommodation fee was at most a few dollars, and he muttered: "This.... That's just too much, or so much? ”

Yan Qing brought three hundred taels of gold into the city this time, the gold was all gold bars, hidden in the salt bricks, Yan Qing smiled slightly: "This is actually the gold we seized from the Jin soldiers, Uncle Tang can contact the weapon for us is a great achievement, how can there be no reward?" Please! ”

How could Tang Zhengde not want gold, in times of war, this is a good thing to save his life! He shuddered and took the gold, got up and said, "I'll go and contact the weapon." ”

He turned and hurried away........

In the afternoon, Yan Qing followed Tang Zhengde to a courtyard, where a middle-aged man was already waiting.

"Shopkeeper Qiu, this is my nephew, I can vouch for him, he has absolutely nothing to do with Jin Bing."

Shopkeeper Qiu glanced at Yan Qing and said expressionlessly: "Come with me!" ”

This middle-aged man surnamed Qiu is the shopkeeper of the gold weapons shop, the weapons shop has been ordered to close by the gold soldiers, and the weapons in the store have also been collected by the gold soldiers, but the weapons shop is only a shop after all, so the gold soldiers did not study too carefully, leaving a trace of loopholes.

Everyone came to the backyard, Shopkeeper Qiu moved away a few broken tables, revealing a small door, he took out the key to open the lock, pushed the door and walked in, Tang Zhengde turned around and smiled at Yan Qing and said, "Virtuous nephew go in!" I'm waiting outside. ”

Yan Qing lowered her head and walked in, although the door was small, it was very narrow inside, and there were two large wooden boxes in the innermost part of the room.

"This is the Song Army's iron armor and bronze helmets, a total of twenty pairs, each pair of armor is equipped with a war knife, if you still want spears and bows and arrows, I can also get them."

"Is there a crossbow?" Yan Qing asked.

"There are only five crossbows, but they are not divine arm crossbows, they are just ordinary military crossbows, and the crossbows are complete."

Yan Qing nodded, "Get me another twenty spears and fifteen pairs of bows and arrows, along with crossbows, I want them, how much is it in total?" ”

Shopkeeper Qiu stretched out a finger, "One thousand taels of silver, no bargaining." ”

Yan Qing nodded, took out a fifty-tael gold brick and handed it to him, "Pay you half first, and the other half will pay you when you see the goods, I'll want it tonight, no problem!" ”

Shopkeeper Qiu took the gold, and a smile appeared on his face, "I'll send it to the inn in the evening." ”

........

In the middle of the night, two dilapidated lanterns were hung on the city tower, flickering in the wind, and several Han soldiers huddled under a leeward wall under the city tower, shivering in the bitter cold wind.

"The Jurchens are still ...... Really treat us like livestock, even a blanket.... No blankets are given! A soldier said, arms crossed, teeth chattering.

An elderly soldier pouted and said, "Liu San, aren't your family the landlords of Tangyin County?" Why don't you even have a bed blanket? ”

"Don't mention it, the house was robbed by the Jurchens, the house was burned down, the family fled to the south, and there was nothing left."

"I remember that you seem to have ten taels of silver, so you can buy a blanket!"

The soldier muttered, "It's all lost." ”

At this moment, a loud roar came from the side, "Whoever let you sleep, all of them!" ”

Several soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly stood up, only to see a golden soldier walking forward quickly, whipping their heads and faces at them, and the soldiers lowered their heads and received the whip, not daring to move.

"A group of dead pigs, don't go on patrol yet, dare to be lazy, and behead them all!"

Several Han soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly lined up to patrol, and the Jin soldiers poured a soak of urine under the city roots, yawned again, turned around and continued to go back to the city tower to sleep.

"The Jurchens raised by bitches don't treat Lao Tzu as human beings, Lao Tzu wants to rebel." A Han soldier named Liu San scolded.

A Han soldier sighed, "Liu San, we have no way out, haven't you heard that the Han soldiers and Jin soldiers in many counties have been slaughtered?" If we surrender to the Jin people with Wang Kui, we will already be on a dead end. ”

Several Han soldiers were silent.......

At this time, a group of Han troops walked up to the city along the road, this team was composed of eighteen people, wearing iron armor and bronze helmets, carrying spears on their shoulders, sharp blades at their waists, bows and arrows on their backs, and five of them also carried crossbows, and the first escort team was Yan Qing.

Although the equipment and armor are the same as those of the Song army, their helmets are wrapped in sheepskin, which is the symbol of the Han army.

At this time, several Han soldiers came in front of him, and Yan Qing saw that there were only five people on the other side, and his eyes widened: "Why are there only five people patrolling?" ”

Several Han soldiers were startled and hurriedly explained: "We were on duty during the day, but we were temporarily rushed to patrol. ”

Yan Qing recognized these people, weren't they just a few soldiers guarding the door during the day? He rolled his eyes and said, "Since it's daytime duty, you can go back and rest now." ”

The five soldiers were overjoyed, turned around and ran down the city, but Yan Qing shouted to them, "Leave two behind!" ”

After discussing the five of them, they left the two of them, and Yan Qing stepped forward and asked, "What's your name?" Where are the people? ”

"The villain's name is Liu San, a native of Tangyin County, his name is Zhao Jiu, a native of the Daimyo Mansion."

"Very good, please go with the two of you!"

Two soldiers joined the team, but one of them, Liu San, kept secretly looking at Yan Qing, and Yan Qing smiled and said, "Does Liu San know me?" ”

"I feel familiar, as if I've seen my eldest brother somewhere."

"Of course I saw it, today at the city gate, have you forgotten?"

Liu San thought about it, his face changed suddenly, and he turned around to run, but was grabbed by Yan Qing, "If you want to escape, it's too late!" ”

Liu San knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic, "Big brother spare me!" My family is in Jingzhou. ”

"Since your family is in the south, why do you still surrender to the Jin Kingdom?"

"The villain has always wanted to run away and is looking for an opportunity."

Another soldier next to him also suddenly understood, and then knelt down and begged for mercy, Yan Qing said coldly: "I can not kill you, the premise is that you have to make meritorious service to atone for your crimes!" ”

"We are willing to make meritorious atonements!"

Yan Qing nodded and pointed to Liyang Cangcheng in the distance, "We want to go over, what do you say?" ”
