But at this time, the red lady sighed slightly, and said with resentment: "It's all because of you that the slave family husband has a bad heart, is full of resentment against me, and ignores me." The slave family was angry and ran away from the camp. Think about everything because of you, I didn't suffer from your humiliation, and there would be no such thing, only by killing you can I make Xianggong not mind. But I ...... But you are a hero who fought against Jiannu, and the good deeds you have done in Datong are highly praised, you are a good official, you are a good person, I ...... The slave family really can't do it. If I kill you, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. ”

The red lady's words that seemed to be very sincere made Cao Yue's heart soften suddenly, and the murderous intent that had just started disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he asked puzzledly: "How can this be?" Li Yan didn't know that you had suffered it...... Li Yan didn't know what happened between us, how could he be upset? Have you told him everything? ”

The red lady nodded slightly, but did not make a sound. She didn't know why, so she told Cao Yue all this.

"Alas, you're too damn too...... You're too straight, you don't need to tell anyone about something!" Cao Yue couldn't laugh or cry a little, this woman, stupid and a little cute, didn't have any precautions against her husband, and even told some trivial things in a steady stream, I really didn't know how to say her, and couldn't help but blame Li Yan, "Originally, Li Yan was not as generous as you said, he was a small-bellied person, for such a trivial matter, he actually treated you coldly, and let you leave the camp and risk to assassinate me, I really think highly of him!"

"Don't you say this about the slave family's father-in-law, he is the best man in the world, he is better than you, you are not allowed to belittle him," the red lady glared at Cao Yue angrily, "I will go around you again today, next time I will not be soft-hearted, I will definitely kill you, I will leave!"

As he spoke, he ignored Cao Yue, turned around, picked up the sword that fell on the ground, cut open the tent, and disappeared from Cao Yue's field of vision.

"Red girl, red lady, wait a minute, hey, red lady!" Cao Yue called a few times, but the red lady didn't pay attention to it, Gu Zi left, he had to give up, out of the tent to drink to detect the movement, and the pro-soldiers who were ready to pursue should not toss.

The soldiers looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out how a man in black could appear in the tent of the chief soldier. They subconsciously thought that this woman in black who suddenly appeared might want to assassinate Cao Yue, but why did their chief soldier let her go?

Could it be that this man in black infiltrated the camp to report the secret situation to Cao Yue?

Also, When did this man in black come in? How did you get in? There was a stranger in the tent of the chief soldier, and they didn't even know that this matter was a bit serious. The soldiers who were in charge of today's patrol and vigilance were all afraid.

If there is any accident on the part of the commander-in-chief, then they will be held accountable.

One by one, they all waited outside the tent with trepidation, waiting to be trained by Cao Yue.

Of course, Cao Yue will not ignore tonight's events, after the Red Lady, he gathered all his guards together, and sternly admonished them to keep twelve points of God, and not to let any suspicious people enter the camp, otherwise military law will be involved.

The soldiers also understood the seriousness of the matter from Cao Yue's stern admonition, although they did not dare to ask Cao Yue what happened, but they no longer dared to have any carelessness, and when patrolling at night, they opened their eyes wider than copper bells.

After the red lady left, Cao Yue was also seriously thinking about what happened today.

He didn't fully believe that it was just an explanation that the Red Lady was snubbed by Li Yan and wanted to run over and kill him impulsively, so as to get Li Yan's forgiveness. Previously, the Red Lady came to Datong to find out the military situation of Datong, which was a signal that Li Yan clearly wanted to lead the army to attack Datong, and the Red Lady did not deny this. Today, the Red Lady came to Datong again and planned to assassinate him, Cao Yue still attributed the reason to the fact that this was the prelude to Li Yan's desire to attack Datong, the purpose was to use the Red Lady's good martial arts to assassinate him, the general soldier of Datong, if successful, he could take the opportunity to take Datong lightly.

It is better to believe it than to believe that it is not, Cao Yue does not dare to be careless. On the second day, he also ordered the whole army to be in the highest state of combat readiness, all men and horses should return to the camp, and the training should be carried out in the form of actual combat, and no idle personnel should be allowed to approach the barracks, and all officers and men should not leave the camp without permission, and those who violate military law should be engaged in it.

At the same time, he ordered Cao Sheng, the newly appointed general manager of the special training team and his confidant, to lead a special training team of more than 200 people to leave Datong and go west to find out the whereabouts of the Liukou in the form of actual combat training.

In addition to sending a special training team, Cao Yue also sent a lot of scout horses, all of which traveled to the west or northwest to find out the whereabouts of Li Yan's subordinates and other rogue people. The special training team has carrier pigeons with them, and there is any news that can be reported in the shortest possible time.

In the intense preparations, Cao Yue also received good news.

When he left Beijing to take up his post in Datong, Cao Yue sent his cronies, Cao Qian, with 1 million taels of silver and 10,000 taels of gold, to Oyster Mirror and Macao by sea to buy firearms. After a few months, Cao Qian finally came with the news that he had negotiated a deal with the Franco-Mechanics, purchased a batch of the latest firearms, including twenty newly-made red-coated cannons and 10,000 muskets, as well as some other artillery pieces and firearms, a series of equipment for the manufacture of firearms, and hired 300 Franco-Mechanics to serve the Datong Army at a price of 500 taels of silver per person a year.

It would take several months for the firearms and very manufactured machines of the Franc machine to be raised, and Cao Qian planned to personally escort the firearms and equipment back to Datong after all the things were collected. In order to avoid accidents and be calculated by the Francophone, Cao Qian did not consider returning with firearms and the hired Francophone, but ordered his subordinates to return to Datong with 300 Francophone.

If Cao Qian brought the Oyster Mirror to the hundreds of subordinates, if he returned with the Franco, no one knew whether these Francos, who were willing to work for anyone for money, would have bad intentions, so it was decided to let these 300 people come to Datong first.

When Cao Yue received the letter from Cao Qian, it had been two months since the three hundred Portuguese mercenaries left Oyster Mirror. According to the approximate itinerary, it will take at most half a month for these people to arrive in Datong.

Cao Qian's arrangement made Cao Yue quite satisfied, his subordinates were still very careful in doing things, and their abilities were also good. He was very interested in the new firearms mentioned in Cao's letter, and he hoped that the Portuguese would arrive in Datong as soon as possible so that he could see what kind of firearms they were. It would be nice if the Portuguese had flintlock muskets with them, and he could use the finished muskets of the Portuguese and make imitations.

Also, Cao Yue knows the history of the development of bullets, before the metal bullet came out, the invention of the paper shell bullet was a revolution, he has not seen what the paper shell bullet is like, but with this concept, he can discuss this with firearms experts, maybe he can make this thing and guide a major change in firearms.

The Portuguese arrived in Datong ten days earlier than Cao Yue had expected, and they arrived outside the city of Datong on the sixth day after receiving Cao Qian's letter. Hearing the report of his subordinates, Cao Yue was overjoyed and personally led people to greet him. The three hundred Portuguese were led by a down-and-out nobleman named Constantin, and to Cao Yue's surprise, the muskets they carried with them were really flintlock muskets.
