Chapter 554: Cooperation
After Shen Ning recognized Ying Nantu's portable sword, he was always in a restless mood. The sword that comes with him can fall into the hands of others, so where is he now? What happened?
Even if the man in Tsing Yi ordered Second Master Hu to take them all down and take care of them first, Shen Ning looked sluggish and confused because he was thinking about Ying Nantu's affairs.
These people, of course, were locked together, guarded by several thieves, in a large courtyard. Second Master Hu returned to the cottage, thinking that there were so many brothers in the cottage, and he didn't worry about what these down-and-out businessmen could do.
Before leaving the courtyard, Second Master Hu also thought that these people would be used as servants in the future, and he didn't embarrass them much, and he was kind enough to loosen the ties for them.
After loosening the ties, Shen Ning's heart was a little more settled. The truth she has learned over the years is that the more dangerous the situation, the more you can't rush. Ying Nantu's sword is already in the hands of the Tsing Yi people, and the most important thing now is to find out who the Tsing Yi people are and where this cottage is.
This heavy responsibility, of course, falls on Zhang Xun. As I said before, Zhang Xun went out carefully and thoughtfully, and rarely broke down. Such a person, with a single eyebrow, can make himself as much as a worm and blend in with each new environment.
I don't know how Zhang Xun did it, he flew out of the courtyard guarded by the bandits like a leaf. The bandits who were guarding outside the courtyard did not notice it.
The bandits didn't know that Zhang Xun had been gone for most of the day, and like Second Master Hu, they didn't take these poor businessmen in their eyes at all.
Until Zhang Xun came back, the bandits guarding outside were still talking loudly, and they didn't know that in the cold wind, someone flew in from the roof.
Zhang Xun is a smart person, he started from the servants among the bandits, and the news he heard in half a day was enough for Shen Ning, enough for her to know what to do next.
The name of the person in Tsing Yi is Shi Guang. The family was originally a well-known family in the Zhengyang area. More than ten years ago, in the expansion and seizure of power of the family, the Shi family was defeated by the Pang family and ended up in ruin.
The Pang family. It is one of the powerful people who occupy Zhengyang today, including the people in Zhengyang, Tanghe, and Xixian, all about the management of the Pang family.
Shi Guang took his younger brother Shi Hu to fall into the grass on this mountain, known as Shixintang, and has always been against the Peng family. A few days ago, Shi Guang took Shi Xintang's people to ambush an armory of the Pang family and brought back a large number of weapons. ββIt is the swords of the Shen Family's Weapons Division that Shen Ning knows.
In this way, the one who ambushed the Tiger Ben Army and the Shence Left Army. There must be the Pang family, and the weapons of the Shen family fell into the hands of the Pang family, and it was a few days ago. The swords that retreated have fallen, so what are they doing now? How about the Tiger Army and the Shence Left Army?
It's been so many days......
"Master Zhang. I want to talk to Shi Guang, you control the situation of Shixin Hall, it is possible to do it? β
After thinking about it, Shen Ning asked. The current situation is beyond their slow attempt. Shi Guang is very familiar with Zhengyang and the Pang family, so Shen Ning wants to start from him to save time.
Let's talk about it. Of course, it was to be talked calmly, and the situation was to be controlled by the Praetorian Guard. What Shen Ning wanted Zhang Xun to do was this.
Three hundred Praetorian Guard soldiers, against the fierce five hundred bandits, to control the situation in Shixintang, Zhang Xun said that it was not difficult; But since Shen Ning wants to talk calmly with Shi Guang. Naturally, there must be no damage.
"Girl, the slave noticed that next to the gate of the cottage, there was a strong smell of ginger soup. Do they all drink ginger soup? β
When Shen Ning and Zhang Xun were silent, Qiu Ge said so. It provides a direction for Zhang Xun.
Ginger soup drives away the cold, and in this time of heavy snowfall, it is too normal for bandits to drink ginger soup. If so, it's easy to do.
Zhang Xun didn't know what he thought, and suddenly laughed a little obscenely.
On the second day, when there was a shout of "oops, oops" from outside the courtyard, Zhang Xun said to Shen Ning easily: "Little master, the matter has been done. β
The three hundred Praetorian Guard soldiers suddenly became energetic, their aura suddenly changed, and a cold murderous aura rushed towards them. With this feeling, we know that these soldiers are the ones who survived the bloody battlefield.
I have to say once again that the soldiers who have experienced brutal wars are indeed different. Shen Ning had seen such an aura in Ying Nantu, and he had also seen it in his uncle Shen Zesi.
When Shi Guang looked at the three hundred Praetorian Guards and a thin young man surrounded by him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt a chill in his heart.
He finally knew what he felt was wrong, and he missed his eyes! These people, where are some sloppy businessmen? Clearly well-trained soldiers!
Who are these people? Is it a soldier of the imperial court? Or the Shen family's Praetorian Guard?
Facing the three hundred Praetorian Guards, Shi Guangqiang sat calmly on the chair and did not say a word. After the previous training, the brothers of Shixintang drank a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold as usual, and then collapsed in twos and threes.
Immediately after, this group of people appeared in front of them, needless to say, it was these people who did it!
"Who the hell are you?! What was done to our brothers? Second Master Tiger shouted loudly, and the hand holding the big knife was erect.
No matter how little he has, he also knows that this group of people used to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, what do they want to do?
"The second master is calm and don't be impatient. We are the Praetorian Guards of the Shen family, the big sword in the hands of the second master, or our Shen family's weapons division. β
Shen Ning smiled and said, under the protection of Zhang Xun and the others, he sat down in front of Shi Guang at will. This is the main hall of Shixintang, and there are two rows of chairs on either side.
Our Shen family? Shi Guang stared at the thin young man, still not speaking. The one who said this is someone from the Shen family?
"Shen Yushou is below, and Shen Zejing is under his father." Shen Ning continued. Her men's dress, of course, has to be used in the name of the fourth brother.
"I don't know why Shen Sigongzi came to this barren mountain and remote mountain?"
Hearing Shen Ning say this, Shi Guang finally spoke. His throat seemed to have been wounded, and his voice was like sand and stone, and it was uncomfortable to hear.
Shen Zejing and the Shen family, as the biggest force in Dayong's new rise, Shi Guang certainly knew. Especially when the Shen family Praetorian Guards came to Hanoi to quell the chaos, the situation of the Shen family also spread throughout Hanoi Province.
"My son wants to make a deal with Leader Shi. The capital we paid was the Shen family's Praetorian Guard, in addition to these three hundred people, there were also nearly 100,000 soldiers in the north. As for profits, it is the major powerhouses including the Pang family, I wonder if Leader Shi is interested? β
Shen Ning easily threw the bait and waited for Shi Guang to react. It is not easy for Shixintang to survive the turmoil and steal weapons from the Pang family. Shen Ning wanted to use Shi Guang's familiarity with the Zhengyang area, and with the help of Shi Guang, the head snake, to open the mouth of Hanoi Road.
If she estimated correctly, following the vine of the Pang family, she would definitely be able to find Ying Nantu and Yuan Huan.
"As long as Chief Shi and the Shen family cooperate, the Shi family will definitely be able to restore its former glory. With the current strength of the stone leader, can he confront the powerful Pang family? The name of falling grass is not so good after all. β
Shen Ning said again. Shi Guang still didn't have any expression on his face, but Shen Ning knew that he would definitely agree.
Just like her previous life, every person who has a family feud and blood hatred will not let go of any opportunity to take revenge, let alone such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Why should I trust you? You are doing it to my brothers, you soldiers, how can I trust you? β
Shi Guang still said cautiously, looking Shen Ning up and down, trying to see something from Shen Ning's expression.
"With the name of the Shen family." Shen Ning said lightly. In such a chaotic situation, the name of the Shen family is already the biggest guarantee.
Shi Guang pursed his lips, and the scars on his face looked even more hideous; The second tiger master on the side didn't dare to say anything. But whoever has made up his mind about these things has nothing to do with him.
Time passed little by little, and the smell of ginger soup could still be smelled here in the main hall, and the rustling sound of the cold wind passing through the pine forest was also heard.
This smell and sound soothed Shen Ning's worried mood about Ying Nantu, and made her feel a long-lost tranquility.
She's waiting, figuring out a way, Shi Guang will definitely be able to help her!
Retreat......
"I don't know what the fourth prince wants the cousin to do?"
After a long time, Shi Guang spit out such a sentence, indicating his choice. In fact, there is nothing to choose, the trend of the times, he must take advantage of the trend for the sake of Shixintang and the Shi family.
As soon as he said this, Shi Hu looked at him in astonishment. With the disaster of family ruin, Shi Guang has never trusted people easily, and Shi Xintang has never cooperated with people. Why did this fourth son of Shen only say a few words, and his brother agreed?
Zhang Xun didn't have any expression, Shi Guang's choice was in her expectation.
"With you in the Shi family, it is not difficult for the glory to reappear. Now I want to know, did the Pang family and the Shen family Janissaries ever fight? How did you get these weapons? Did the Pang family capture the Praetorian Guards? β
Hearing Shi Guang's question, Shen Ning was not verbose, and directly asked about the situation of the Praetorian Guard. With Shi Xintang's attention to the Pang family, if the Praetorian Guards appeared in Zhengyang and had a war with the Pang family, then Shi Xintang would definitely know.
Shi Guang did know about the battle between the Shen family's Praetorian Guards and the Pang family, to be precise, the battle between Hanoi Dao Haoqiang and the Praetorian Guard. The Pang family is just a strong man who participates in the battle.
From Shi Guang's narration, Shen Ning knew the situation of the Praetorian Guard in Hanoi Province, the situation that Ruliu did not grasp, and also knew what the situation was like after the Shence Left Army was ambushed.
It's just that after knowing these circumstances, Shen Ning's heart not only did not relax, but became more and more entangled!
