After learning that the food and grass in the city were about to run out, Meng Luo decided to adopt the strategy of trapping but not attacking, and sent spies into the city to lobby and rebel, spread rumors, and expected the rebels in the city to collapse without a fight.

This trick did work, if it weren't for Qin Feng's appearance, Zhao Yuanjin's fall would be a foregone conclusion.

Qin Feng groaned: "Is this Meng Luo difficult to entangle? ”

Zhao Yuanjin and Sun Xiangqing nodded at the same time, not just difficult? Meng Luo is one of the few generals in the court who are proficient in military affairs and can fight tough battles. If it weren't for him, Zhao Yuanjin wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

Qin Feng sighed in his heart, if he could have crossed over a few days earlier, Zhao Yuanjin would still have room to maneuver at that time, maybe the situation would be completely different. However, in the face of this siege and death, it is really difficult to think of feasible countermeasures.

The lonely city cannot be defended for a long time, and it will be lost if it is defended for a long time. Anyone with a modicum of military knowledge understands this truth. Since Meng Luo outside the city is a famous general in his right mind, it is impossible for him to make low-level mistakes, let alone withdraw on his own.

If he had changed his mind now and ordered an all-out siege regardless of casualties, perhaps he would have been able to take this lonely city in a day or two at most.

"I wonder if there are dead soldiers with strong martial arts in your army?" Qin Feng asked.

Zhao Yuanjin replied: "How many are you, does the gentleman want them to assassinate?" I'm afraid this is not feasible, Meng Luo is very well guarded, and our people can't get close to the camp of the imperial army. ”

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and found that he still thought things too simply. The so-called martial arts masters seem to be powerful, but the role they can play in thousands of troops is actually quite limited. No matter how powerful the master is, he is just flesh and blood, and he is densely shot by hundreds of hard bows and crossbows, and he still has to kneel. Unless it is the kind of cultivator who has the legendary power of heaven and earth to his body, he can ignore the siege of the army in the world.

"In that case, I need to try to hold on for a few more days until I get back and prepare the right means." Qin Feng thought for a moment and said.

Su Mu and Zhao Yuanjin glanced at each other and said, "As long as Mr. helps continue to provide grain and grass, of course it will be no problem to hold on for a few days." However, the situation in the city, the court's secret agents will spread the news sooner or later. If Meng Luo suddenly sends troops to attack, I'm afraid it will ......"

"I'll be back in two days at most." Qin Feng promised.

Zhao Yuanjin breathed a sigh of relief: "We can still afford to wait for two days, then there will be Mr. Lao." ”

He clapped his hands, and the two burly guards walked in carrying a golden-silk nanmu box with brass horns, placed it in front of Qin Feng, saluted and retreated.

Su Mu came over to open the lid of the box, and suddenly a dazzling golden light poured out. It was full of gold bars about three centimeters thick, and it was packed with a box.

"This gold is the agreed reward, and please accept it."

Su Mu said: "It's just that there is not much gold left in the army, so how about using silver for future transactions?" It is all official cast silver of the imperial court, and the fineness is guaranteed, and according to the exchange ratio of one to ten, Mr. will not suffer a loss. ”

In today's world, the currency in private circulation is still mostly silver and copper coins, so Zhao Yuanjin's treasury is also dominated by silver. Although gold has some stocks, it is stored in much less quantities than silver.

Qin Feng said with a smile: "There are always big families or money banks in the city, you can ask them to exchange for gold, right?" Silver isn't very valuable in our world, so I don't really need it. ”

"Well, as Mr. wishes." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.

There are still more than 200,000 taels of silver in his own treasury, which can be converted into gold, and he should be able to survive this difficult period. As long as you can make a comeback in the future, it is not difficult to accumulate money.

Qin Feng looked at him, his heart suddenly moved, and said, "That's it, I have a better proposal." In the future, I can exchange silver and knots for gold, what is the ratio...... It's one to fifteen! What do you think? ”

Zhao Yuanjin's face changed suddenly, and immediately obvious joy appeared, and he hurriedly agreed. Qin Feng's move was to give him benefits in disguise. After all, the gold and silver exchange market outside is one to ten, and as long as he pays Qin Feng the corresponding amount of gold in full, the extra part will be completely his own income.

The more gold he exchanged, the more benefits he would get, which meant that he would have more financial resources to recruit troops and expand his strength in the future.

"However, I would like to be able to obtain the guarantee of the Lord's paperwork that in the future I will have the right to do business freely on the territory of the Lord, and that I can form a guard team and give enough preferential care in terms of taxes, how about it?" Qin Feng continued.

Although each takes what he needs, he doesn't want the other party to get too much cheap, after all, Zhao Yuanjin now has more places to ask for himself.

Zhao Yuan thought about it for a while, and then happily agreed: "Zhao agreed to this matter, so I made an oath with Mr. ”

Realistically, it's too early to discuss it. Under normal circumstances, it is at least meaningful to discuss this after Zhao Yuanjin has a large enough territory and stands on his own as king. Of course, it's okay to settle down now.

When everything was over, Zhao Yuan asked casually: "That maid is not bad, right?" ”

"Well, it's fine." Qin Feng replied casually.

Sun Xiangqing said with a smile: "Mr. is satisfied, this is specially looking for you by the lord." She is a young lady from a big family in the city, she is talented, knows how to count etiquette, and she looks good, and she is still a perfect body. Let her serve her husband's daily life in the future! ”

“……”

Qin Feng was quite speechless, this Zhao Yuanjin really put some thought into pleasing and pleasing him. After all, such a daughter with status is not something that ordinary slaves and maids can buy at will for some silver. In order to persuade the family behind her to agree, presumably this festival envoy also gave considerable benefits.

After talking for a while, Qin Feng hurriedly left.

Between light and darkness, the scene in front of me changed to the interior of the warehouse again, and the midday sunlight filtered in through the skylight.

“…… It's not going to be easy. ”

Thinking of the tens of thousands of imperial army outside the county town, Qin Feng frowned and thought. In fact, the easiest solution is to try to kill the commander named Meng Luo. As long as he died, the siege crisis would probably cease to exist.

If you can have a gun in your hand, you can give that guy a shuttle and the problem will be solved.

But China is a country that explicitly prohibits guns, and its territory is strictly governed by laws and regulations. As a powerless and powerless ordinary person, where can he engage in this kind of murder?

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Feng made up his mind and went out to drive back to the city.

After returning to the rental house to change clothes, he clicked on the address book on his mobile phone and selected a number to dial.

A few seconds later, a familiar hearty voice came from the phone: "Fengzi, where have you been wandering in the past two days?" ”

"Haozi, are you free today? I treat you to lunch. ”

Qin Feng said with a smile, this is his roommate Yu Hao in the dormitory, one of the few hardcore confidants in the school.

"Eat? Then do you want to call Brother Uezaki and them together? Yu Hao asked.

"No, I'm a little bit private and want to talk to you alone." Qin Feng said.

"Okay then." Yu Hao hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, opened the map and searched, chose a nearby restaurant with a good grade, sent the address to Yu Hao, and then went downstairs.

At this time, it was a meal, and there were many customers in the store, so he asked a few words in front of the bar, and learned that there happened to be a vacant compartment, so he quickly settled down.

After sitting and waiting, a sturdy boy in a red T-shirt with a slightly dark complexion walked in from outside, with a cheerful and easy-going smile on his face.

"Fengzi, why did you suddenly remember to have a treat today?" He came over and patted Qin Feng's shoulder heavily, and asked happily.

"Let's order food first, and we'll talk about it later." Qin Feng smiled slightly and handed him the menu.

Steamed stone pot fish, stir-fried kidney flowers, stewed local chicken with yam, braised pork ribs, vermicelli mushroom soup, plus a bunch of beer, the brothers talked while eating.

As graduation approaches, the school has very few courses, and it is basically based on internships. As a result, students in the same department are busy submitting resumes and interviewing for applications, hoping to find their dream job and stay in this bustling metropolis in the future.

It's just that with the current situation of China's talent market, if you want a high salary, you can't get a bachelor's degree. Therefore, many students have decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination and continue to study hard for a few years for their future.

"Fengzi, are you planning to go to graduate school? Or go out and get a job first? ”

After taking a sip of beer, Yu Hao asked, "I may be able to help you find an errand to do, but the salary is not high, I don't know if you can look at it." ”

He is a coastal native, his family conditions are not bad, and he has some connections, so he says so.

"I've already thought about work."

Qin Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that you have a cousin who is a mixed figure on the road, can you introduce me to him?" ”

Yu Hao was slightly stunned, and his expression became serious: "Are you in trouble?" Isn't it Liu Yunqing's bastard? Won't he stop what happened last time......"

"No, I want to buy something." Qin Feng said.

“……”

Yu Hao's face changed slightly, and he looked at him fixedly for a while: "Fengzi, there are some businesses that people like us can't handle, don't be confused." If there's any difficulty, I can help you figure it out. ”

"Where did you think of it? I just want to go abroad and try my luck in the Middle East, so I just want to get a guy to defend myself. Qin Feng explained helplessly.

He explained it for a long time, and Yu Hao still had the same expression of "I believe in you and I am stupid", but he finally gave him his cousin's contact number.

Qin Feng dialed the mobile phone, and the other party was silent for a while after learning of his intentions, and hung up after reporting a new number.

Where there is sunshine, there is shadow, and no matter how bustling and noisy the metropolis is, there are always some dark corners. As long as there is a relationship and a way, it is not difficult to buy something prohibited.

Next, Qin Feng made several phone calls, but the other party gave him a new number and hung up directly, refusing to say a word. Finally, a feminine voice that could not distinguish between men and women said the name of the place and the time, and asked him to carry enough cash to connect, and not wait.

“…… It's really careful. Qin Feng thought helplessly.

The place of trading is far south, adjacent to the border area of Baiyue Kingdom. It seems that the other party is indeed cautious enough to avoid getting into trouble. After all, this thing is too strictly inspected in the mainland, and it is only easier to operate in certain areas near the national border. And a customer like him who suddenly comes to the door, the other party can't have much trust at all.

As for how to bring things back after getting them, it's up to him to figure out how to do it, and the other party won't care.
