Chapter 389: Uneasiness Before Leaving

The arrangements for the mission were top secret, and even those accompanying the mission would not easily reveal it. Even the section of the road from the capital to Liaodong was planned after Shen Wuyan.

Because this part of the journey was quite peaceful, Shen Wuyan didn't have too many scruples, and informed a few important people accompanying him in advance.

Now that the ancestor suddenly asked about this, even Li Chengliang was stunned, and then he realized that Shen Wuyan's face was wrong, and immediately scolded in a deep voice: "Doesn't the ancestral counselor know that the mission arrangement is top secret, and no one is allowed to inquire?" ”

The reason why the mission arrangement is set to be top secret is because if the news is leaked, it will be calculated by people with intentions, and now that there is a problem, it is even more necessary to pay attention to it, so it is really taboo for the ancestor to ask like this.

However, the ancestor didn't understand the problem, but seeing that he had a calm face, as if he didn't care about this, he just sneered and said, "It's because the mission is in a very dangerous situation now, but it can't be easily retreated...... As the border army of Liaodong, we have the responsibility to protect the mission from being **** thieves. ”

This is also reasonable, even Li Chengliang looked embarrassed, couldn't help but look at Shen Wuyan again, and sighed: "Although the mission has the rules of the mission...... It's just this ......"

Shen Wuyan couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart, he finally understood that the so-called coming to him to discuss matters today was nothing more than for this moment. Let Shen Wuyan tell the route of the mission, as well as all the arrangements along the way.

As the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, Li Chengliang naturally couldn't break the rules of the mission, and now it happened that Steward Wu didn't know what to do, so he was charged with a spy, and he could use this to exaggerate the danger of the envoy, so that Shen Wuyan could easily confide in this envoy plan.

In fact, Shen Wuyan didn't care about these at first, if he really didn't know the arrangement, he really wouldn't have handed it over immediately, after all, it was a good thing to have the protection of the Liaodong border army.

As for why they are looking for themselves, instead of Lord Yang, they probably see that Lord Yang is timid and afraid of things, and even more afraid of taking responsibility, so they will not hand over the arrangement easily.

However, he is the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and he is well aware of the dangers, and as soon as they render it, they will believe in them even more, and they will not have any precautions, and they will easily hand over the arrangement.

"Dissatisfied with the ancestral general...... This arrangement is really not in the next now, before the mission changed days...... At present, it is just a mere retinue, as for how the mission is arranged...... That's Lord Yang's business. ”

Li Chengliang slowly raised his head and glanced at Shen Wuyan deeply, but saw that the other party's face was neither humble nor arrogant, obviously not like he was lying, so he had to sigh and say, "Since this is the case...... Then I'll go down and discuss with Lord Yang later...... However, Mr. Shen also considered how to make the trip appropriate. ”

Next, Li Chengliang briefly explained the defense problems of Liaodong in recent days, most of which involved the problems of Liaoyang City, and the other was to investigate his subordinates carefully to avoid the problem of spies again.

Although Shen Wuyan doubted the identity of Steward Wu's spy in his heart, he never asked, he was worried that this so-called spy could also be added by the generals of Liaodong, if it was really like that, no matter how he explained it, it would be useless.

For the sake of the present situation, what he wanted to know more was that Li Chengliang was trying to know what the purpose of the envoy's arrangement was.

In fact, it was a coincidence that the mission was able to pass through Ningyuan City, if it weren't for Shen Wuyan to take these equipment from Sun's house, and also considering that Li Rusong needed to go home, otherwise he wouldn't have passed through Ningyuan City.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Wuyan roughly estimated that the incident should have happened in the past few days, so he kept thinking about what major events had happened in the past few days, but except for the loss of Li Sunsin by the mission on the way, there was nothing important to mention.

After leaving the yamen, Shen Wuyan returned to his residence. For the rest of the day, he stayed in the room to tinker with those few firearms, and during this period, he also went to Lord Yang a few times, trying to retrieve the package left by Steward Wu yesterday, but Lord Yang was no longer there, so he had to give up.

Although the time was very short, Shen Wuyan also rediscovered the improvements of these firearms, but there was no reasonable basis for the time being, so he simply recorded them and did not study them carefully.

Although this inn is not small, but if you study the firearm, it is still a little inappropriate, a firearm is more lethal, and the study is really unstable, although it can be avoided and will not hurt yourself, but it will always affect the merchants next to it, and it will affect the inn business.

Therefore, Shen Wuyan just checked it briefly, but there was nowhere to test, so he simply carefully stored the three muskets and returned to the carriage in the backyard.

There was also a small cannon on the carriage, although the body of this cannon had shrunk a lot, and it was several times different from the guns on the previous warships, but it was still very heavy.

It was impossible for Shen Wuyan to move these hundreds of catties of artillery to the room alone, so he could only put it on the carriage, but fortunately, there was someone in the backyard to take care of it, so he didn't have to worry about safety.

However, if you really want to steal this heavy artillery, it still needs some action, and it is not so easy.

Glancing at the bulky artillery, Shen Wuyan frowned all the time, obviously it was really difficult for him to delve into this artillery.

In fact, this artillery has been improved in various ways, and its body has shrunk a lot, and its accuracy and power have improved a lot, but the problem of the explosion is really difficult to improve, and Shen Wuyan can't think of a good way to improve it for a while.

After getting acquainted with the operation again, he checked the three shells in the box, all of which were of the highest quality, and if everything was in perfect condition, three cows could be killed with this cannon.

After all this was put in order, Shen Wuyan's gaze returned to the carriage.

The body of the carriage is made of special materials, so it is much stronger than ordinary carriages in the past, and after roughly inspecting some parts, Shen Wuyan was very satisfied, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the Sun family really managed these objects in the times.

If this carriage was placed in the shop next to it, it would be difficult to even have the effect of four wheels, and now the Sun family not only built it according to Shen Wuyan's requirements, but also added a lot of ideas from Master Sun, but it also made Shen Wuyan's eyes shine.

The afternoon passed in a hurry, and just as Shen Wuyan stepped out of the carriage and returned to the lobby, he happened to bump into Lord Yang who hurriedly went downstairs.

He glanced at Shen Wuyan who walked in, his face was very ugly, but he seemed to have something to say, but there was something unspeakable, so he just frowned and hurriedly walked out of the door.

After a brief meal, Shen Wuyan returned to the room. Tomorrow the mission will leave as scheduled, and the task now is to have a good rest, even if there is any danger after leaving Liaoyang, it will be able to deal with it in time.

In fact, the so-called danger, Shen Wuyan was not very worried at this time.

It seems that the generals of Liaoyang City are quite concerned about this matter, so they want to know about the arrangements of the mission, even if Lord Yang is unwilling, they will definitely succeed.

In this way, the mission was actually completely under the protection of the Liaodong Frontier Army, even if the Jurchens had an ambush and saw the Liaodong Iron Cavalry protecting them, they did not dare to take action easily.

Now Shen Wuyan is even more worried about the change in Steward Wu's expression yesterday, from the various mutations after arriving in Ning Yuan, until Li Chengliang's words this morning, Shen Wuyan is more and more unable to sort out the key to the matter.

After coming to Ningyuan, he was dismissed, and then he went to see Master Sun according to the plan, but was ambushed by assassins......

"The assassin assassinated Master Sun." Shen Wuyan suddenly felt that his eyelids jumped suddenly, and he seemed to have touched something in his heart, so he desperately recalled the situation of the day, and then contacted the changes in the situation later, but he never had a clue.

"The target of the assassination is Master Sun, and it is indeed a Jurchen...... But...... Mr. Li didn't seem to be very concerned about this matter......"

When muttering to himself like this, Shen Wuyan couldn't help but start thinking back to the day when he and Master Sun went to the yamen afterwards to explain the matter, and Li Chengliang was on the spot at that time, but it seemed that his mind was not on this matter.

At that time, I thought that Master Sun had been assassinated all these years, so even Li Chengliang was used to it, so he didn't care too much.

He ...... It seems to be hiding something...... Shen Wuyan lay on the bed, his eyes stayed on the beam, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Could it be ...... He sent those assassins? ”

This astonishing thought instantly filled Shen Wuyan's heart, so he was even more puzzled, what did Li Chengliang mean by sending assassins to assassinate Master Sun.

Thinking about this, Shen Wuyan remembered what Steward Wu said when he came last night, and couldn't help muttering, "I caught a fat man...... Why don't you have to find Master Sun and me to identify ......?"

Just as Shen Wuyan was thinking about these things, there was a violent knock on the door.

Shen Wuyan frowned, and soon confirmed the identity of the person who came, although he was very reluctant in his heart, he still got out of bed, and then slowly opened the door, and said angrily: "I'm leaving tomorrow...... Can't Lord Yang have a good rest? ”

Outside the door was Lord Yang, but at this moment, there seemed to be more panic in his eyes, but there was joy that could not be concealed.

Shen Wuyan glanced at the box that Lord Yang was holding in his hand, it was the box that contained the burden left by Steward Wu yesterday, and suddenly his heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Yang, quickly hand over this box to me." ”

Lord Yang's face changed, and he suddenly took the box into his arms, and snorted softly: "The old man knows everything...... That Wu Qianhu is a spy, and now he has fled...... Since he left this burden to Mr. Shen, it means that it ...... Are you so eager, are you also a spy? ”

"Fart." Shen Wuyan was anxious in his heart, and suddenly lost his temper, but seeing that Lord Yang didn't seem to be paying attention, he hurriedly changed his words and said, "I also learned about this in the next place, so I want to open this box to find out." ”
