…

Qin Tian nodded gently and said, "Youlao, take me to the village to have a look." ”

Hong Mei hurriedly nodded in agreement, and said to Qin Tian: "Okay, okay, the Son of Heaven, please come with me." ”

Qin Tian raised his eyebrows and looked at Zheng He when he heard the title of the Son of Heaven, Zheng He did not move, and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty." ”

At this moment, there are Buqi, Lu Xun, Xu Chu, and Zhao Yun, all of whom are interested when they hear Hong Mei's name.

Qin Tian shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's follow." ”

Zheng He's smile snickered a little.

Hong Mei didn't pay attention to the momentary change between several people, pointed to the inside of the village and said to Qin Tian: "Son of Heaven, this is my village, with a population of more than three hundred. ”

Qin Tian asked casually: "How many young people are there?" ”

Hong Mei said without hesitation: "There are eighty-three people in total, which I counted a few days ago." ”

Qin Tian nodded and began to get to the point: "You have a mold for making silver coins here?" ”

Hong Mei was stunned for a moment, and then quickly linked Zheng He's expression a few months ago, and suddenly said without moving: "I'm sorry, we don't have that kind of silver coin mold in the small village shop here, and the damage of silver coins in the past was all gone to Baimei Town, and there should be there." ”

Qin Tian nodded slowly with a flickering gaze, and said to Zheng He: "You told me that there are only more than 3,000 soldiers in Baimei Town. ”

Zheng He smiled: "Not bad. ”

Qin Tian turned his head to Hong Mei and said, "Do you know that there are cavalry around here? ”

Hong Mei hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "This ...... also asked the Son of Heaven to forgive his sins, he was not unaware of it, and only Liu Qing knew. ”

Qin Tian looked at Zheng He, Zheng He frowned and said: "Your Majesty, this Liu Qing was locked up in the water village by me, and he was crazy to rush out every day, so he was insulting you." ”

Qin Tian didn't hesitate to turn around and say; "Let's go." ”

Along the way, more than 5,000 Wushuang troops and cavalry followed Qin Tian to Shuizhai.

Lu Xun seems to be very curious about this place, although this is an island, but the territory is as big as a state, no wonder it is called Yizhou, but the people here seem to call Yizhou the mainland.

Qin Tian entered the water village, and the Wushuang Army was guarding Qin Tian's left and right, and Qin Tian motioned for Zheng He to release Liu Qing.

At this moment, Liu Qing seemed to have just fallen asleep, and when the prison door opened, Liu Qing suddenly got up while lying on the ground, and was ready to kidnap Zheng He.

He believed that under the surprise attack, and Zheng He's seemingly thin appearance, there was at least an eighty percent success rate.

Zheng He reacted quickly, pulled out the sword directly, and then slapped Liu Qing wildly with the sword, and then the Wushuang Army tied Liu Qing up and caught Liu Qing.

Qin Tian smiled and said, "Hello, let me introduce myself now, my name is Qin Tian, and I am the monarch of these people. ”

Liu Qing's eyes stared at Qin Tian and said angrily, "It turns out that you are the culprit!" Let go of me, let go of me, I won't let you attack Baimei City. ”

Qin Tian smiled gently as always: "Don't be nervous, I can promise that I won't hurt your son, but in the same way, you have to tell me the information I need, otherwise, what do you think of killing you first and then killing your son?" ”

Liu Qing looked at Qin Tian, and finally lowered his head and was no longer struggling, allowing the two Wushuang Army soldiers to press his shoulders, hold her hand, and kneel down, and said in a low voice: "What do you want to know?" ”

Qin Tian smiled and said, "Is there a mold in the village?" ”

The reason why Qin Tian asked this was because he didn't believe that Hong Mei at all, what kind of joke was he making, if a person believed what Qin Tian said, then Qin Tian would have been killed a long time ago, and would he come to this point?

Just now, I used the insight technique to see Hong Mei's ability.

Hong Mei: Ability: 61, Loyalty: 34.

Qin Tian was not interested in looking at the detailed ability, and in general, this Hong Mei could not be trusted.

Liu Qing thought for a while, and then said: "No, there is no mold in my memory, and only Baimei Town has it, I hope you can keep your promise." “

Qin Tian said with a smile: "Lone's reputation has always been very good. He said to Liu Qing: "Continue to be strictly guarded, but the treatment will be improved a little, your son I will fulfill my promise, if I want, I can let him enter my army, in addition, you can also continue to be your village chief, why not do it, remember...... Don't play tricks on me. ”

Liu Qing was shocked, lowered his head and did not speak, and then was re-imprisoned in the prison by the water guard, Qin Tian and the others were most relieved of this Liu Qing, if this person escaped from prison, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Qin Tian casually asked through the cage: "By the way, where are the horses near here?" ”

Liu Qing said indifferently: "Within a radius of a hundred miles, there are no horses, and those who have horses are all in those capitals, there are very few, and most of them rely on foot combat." ”

Qin Tian was stunned, then waved his hand and said, "Thank you!" ”

He then left the cell with the group.

Lu Xun said to the monarch: "Your Majesty is wise, we can completely let Zhao Yun's five hundred cavalry disguise themselves as caravans, since horses are so precious, then those defenders of the city will naturally not be indifferent." ”

Zheng He then said: "Monarch, the preliminary application of quenching iron tools has been learned here, and everything is careful. ”

Qin Tian said to Lu Xun: "It's up to you to command, Lone first takes Xu Chu into the city, and you can arrange it later." ”

After Qin Tian learned that Baimei Town was a large town in China, he vaguely guessed that the troops here were quite weak and the population was sparse, otherwise there were only more than 10,000 people in the whole country, and this number had a lot of water, at most seven or eight thousand.

…

Qin Tian was in the town of Baimei Town at the moment, looking at this town, the town was very lively, Qin Tian carefully looked at the small wooden sign in his hand that he bought for ten copper coins, I heard that this small wooden sign is the so-called "identity certificate" here is very cheap.

Later, after Qin Tianan and Xu Chu wandered around Baimei Town, they chose an inn to settle in, which was close to the south gate, that is, the city gate that Zhao Yun and they agreed on, ordered a table of good dishes, and began to eat and drink leisurely.

About half an hour later.

Today, the soldiers guarding the south gate suddenly saw a caravan slowly driving a herd of about five hundred horses towards Baimei Town.

Next to one horse is a young man pulling the horses, and then each horse carries a burden on its body.

This scene seems a little weird, but it can't stop the greed of these soldiers, once a man offered 100 horses and became a general, if he offered 500 horses, wouldn't he be knighted?

The caravan looked at the soldier's eyes a little vigilant, and hurriedly retreated dozens of steps, and at this moment, a city gate captain on the city wall saw the horses, and immediately pointed to the caravan and said: "They are from Yilan Country, stop them!" ”

Then more than 800 archers were about to shoot arrows with bows, but they were stopped by the captain, who shouted: "You are stupid, if you shoot a horse and a horse dies, your head will be lost!" Come, follow me after the enemy. ”

But he said in his heart: "With military merits and sacrificing horses, it is difficult for me to be underdeveloped at this time." ”

Then 2,000 foot soldiers went out of the city, leaving only 200 foot soldiers and 800 archers.

When the caravans saw that someone was catching up, they jumped on their horses and galloped wildly, but they were not very fast, and could barely keep up.

However, the two thousand soldiers thought that these merchants were not good at riding, but they didn't know that they didn't see those fleeing merchants with a hint of smiling.
