Zhang Qiang left, leaving from the secret passage in the backyard that had been prepared a long time ago, and when he left, he only took two guards of the Heavenly Eye, and even the concubine he married in the country of Rus was thrown here. This woman was also signaled by Zhang Chao for him to marry, after all, he was in other places, and the problem of loneliness always had to be solved, and with the existence of this woman, other people who were staring at him could rest assured.

Soon after Zhang Qiang left, Zhang Liang was killed in battle. With him, there are more than a dozen guards in the society, some of them were brought from Bingzhou, and some were hired by the local people for a lot of money, but when the Rus soldiers entered, they didn't care who you were or what you were doing, in short, the order was to kill them all except Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Liang led more than ten people to confront these officers and soldiers for a quarter of an hour, but finally died because he was outnumbered and had several swords in his body. But even when he died, he didn't close his eyes, and he kept looking in the direction of Jinyang City, as if he was expecting something and waiting for something.

Zhang Qiang left along the secret passage, and when he came out, it was already an inconspicuous house two streets away from the Zhangjia Trading Company. And when he came out of there, he also carried out a certain disguise, changed his outfit, and even put a fake beard on the corner of his mouth. Then he took the two guards out of the street with his prepared identity, and then left the city safely, left the city of Great Rus, and began to head southwest towards Goryeo.

Zhang Qiang was not in the trading company, and when the soldiers searched around and found that there was no body of this person among the dead, they reported to it. The matter was also quickly made known.

The eldest prince, knowing that Zhang Qiang was not there, and he couldn't even find it, just hated and said that he deserved it. After all, in his eyes, he is just a businessman, so what is life and death?

Including some princes and ministers with shares, after knowing that Zhang Qiang had escaped, they only sighed and lost some money. They were all waiting for half a year to settle the bill, they never thought that there would be such a consequence, of course, no one would raise any doubts about this matter, this is obviously the eldest prince is slapping the face of the second prince, and it involves the future throne, they don't want to get involved.

It's just that others can ignore it, but the second prince really can't. When he learned that the eldest prince sent troops into the Zhangjia trading company and killed someone, and Zhang Qiang suddenly disappeared, he entered the palace angrily and saw his mother Natasha.

Natasha was the favorite concubine of Emperor Yaxiongfu's powerful emperor, and although she was in her forties, she was sure to raise a woman in her twenties, mature and beautiful. It is precisely because of such a mother that Prince Ivan was able to wrestle with his elder brother, who had the queen's mother, that is, the eldest prince.

Ivan came to the palace, met his mother, and told him what was happening outside. "Mother, Anatoly is clearly slapping me in the face. Now the whole city knows that Zhang Qiang is my person, but he still chooses to do it, if we don't do anything, what will others think? ”

Seeing Ivan's angry look, Natasha shook her head slightly, "Son, why don't you think about it, maybe it's a good thing?" ”

"Good thing?" Ivan, who was originally angry, had a completely confused expression on his face, and he didn't understand it a little.

"yes, good thing. Let me ask you, why did the eldest prince suddenly send troops, as far as I know, Zhang Qiang's relationship with him is usually quite good. Even if there's something, you can talk about it slowly, right? Natasha asked, with a serious expression.

"This... He's so angry. Ivan explained casually.

"Angry? Hehe, it's just a foreign businessman, can he make the eldest prince angry, who is likely to inherit the throne in the future? If so, then your father wouldn't have taken such a fancy to him. Natasha shook her head, her son is very good, and he is very decisive in doing things, but his personality is a little impatient, and many things are just annoyed to make decisions, which is not good.

Reminded by his mother, Ivan also calmed down quietly, and then said in a tone of inquiry: "Please also ask my mother to make it clear." ”

"What is it explicit, I am your mother. Hey, in fact, I will calm down and analyze this matter, the eldest prince will be so anxious, it is nothing more than to show other people who have benefits in the Zhangjia Trading Company, and at the same time, he really wants to catch Zhang Qiang, in this way, the fact that you have monopolized so many benefits will become a fact, and it will also attract a lot of hatred and be rejected by the ministers. "Natasha deserves to be able to get Yafu's strong heart among many concubines, and this cautious mind alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Ivan had inherited his mother's intelligent side, and the scene just now was just too excited, but now after completely calming down, he suddenly realized: "It turned out that the prince was targeting me." ”

Seeing that his son finally seemed to understand everything, Natasha nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it should be aimed at you, and I want to use this matter to let others target you too." It's just that Zhang Qiang escaped, and his wishful thinking fell through. Hehe, not only that, but he also killed the people of the Zhang family trading company, let's see how he wants to explain to others. ”

"Confession? Why do you have to give an account? Ivan was a little confused again.

"What? Doesn't my son know that Zhang Qiang's master is already the emperor of the Celestial Empire? As far as I know, this man is very protective of calves, and his man died with us like this, can this breath be swallowed? I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask for an explanation, and that's when it's time for us to trouble the eldest prince, hehe. Thinking of this, a somewhat sinister smile bloomed on her face, the eldest prince made a stinky move this time.

Listening to Natasha's analysis, Ivan also laughed. Yes, all kinds of information show that the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty is a flaw that must be reported, if this matter is not explained, I am afraid that it will lead to some diplomatic disputes, if so, the eldest prince should have a headache. And what he needs to do is not admit it, once someone asks, first clear himself up, only saying that he has no interests in the Zhangjia Trading Company, everything is made up by the eldest prince, and what he wants to do is to buckle the basin on his head. Anyway, now that Zhang Qiang can't find it, who can help him?

The second prince entered the palace with an anxious face, but when he came out, he was extremely relaxed, as if nothing had happened. And soon after, a piece of news also came out, that is, he had never participated in the Zhangjia Trading Company at all, and the eldest prince also wanted to cause trouble when he killed people, but in fact, he had an economic dispute with Zhang Qiang.

After this incident was reported, the eldest prince smashed several valuable crystal cups one after another, obviously he knew that this time he was caught in the braids, and he miscalculated.

Let's not talk about the situation of the dispute between the princes in Rus's country, but Zhang Qiang finally came to Goryeo twenty days later under the protection of two guards.

Along the way, Zhang Qiang didn't dare to reveal his identity, nor did he dare to take the official road, he walked completely on a small road, which made him delay a lot of time. As soon as he entered the territory of Goryeo, he saw the cavalry of the Dragon and Tiger Legion patrolling in the distance, and he could finally relax, because he knew that it would be safe here.

Zhang Qiang revealed his identity when he saw the patrolling cavalry, and soon after, he was escorted to the old imperial city of Goryeo, where he was personally received by the deputy commander of the regiment, Zhou Cang, and then he sent him back to the new imperial city of Goryeo Marudu on horseback.

In the Imperial City, Zhao Yun met Zhang Qiang in person and learned about what happened in the Great Rus City.

"What? They actually killed our people, and your deputy was also killed? Zhao Yun had a shocked expression on his face when he heard this.

"Yes." Zhang Qiang, who had been arranged to sit there, said with a painful expression: "I heard about this matter in the process of fleeing, Zhang Liang died in battle in order to protect me. ”

"What a Rus' country, what are they going to do? You are not ordinary merchants, but messengers of our Celestial Empire. Zhao Yun said with an angry face.

Since defeating Lev, Zhao Yun has stayed in Goryeo with the Dragon and Tiger Legion. The first is to stabilize the situation here and take the opportunity to develop the economy here, and the second is to help Zhang Chaozhen defend the north of the country in case the Ross Congress makes any moves.

And this is three years. He was very pleased that the borders were peaceful, and even the commercial trade was still thriving. But who would have thought that they would still be fighting in the end. Although it is not certain that the death of Zhang Liang and others will anger Zhang Chao, the first emperor of heaven, but looking at what he usually does, his own people are dead, Zhang Chao has never been so calculated, if he gets it right, he may lose money to solve the problem, but if it is not done well, it is a big matter, and it is possible that wars will break out.

But no matter what kind of situation will happen, Zhao Yun can't be arbitrary now, but wants to report this matter to Zhang Chao to know. Immediately, he said: "Zhang Qiang, I want to trouble you to write a letter to me, and I will send it to Your Majesty, and then we will obey the will here." ”

From Goryeo to Jinyang City, this time has been too long. It's better to use the letter eagle to come faster.

Zhang Qiang also knew that the incident had happened for more than 20 days, and if he didn't take action quickly, he was afraid that he might delay the opportunity, so he nodded and said, "Okay, General Zhao, I'll write a letter." ”

Zhang Qiang quickly wrote a letter, and then recorded what happened in detail, and then Zhang Chao reported it through Xinying, and after arranging for Zhang Qiang to stay, he went to the general's mansion in the city, where a number of high-ranking members of the army were located. And among them is the military teacher Fa Zheng who has been arranged.
