While the three of them were rummaging through the treasure house, in Qianwei City, thousands of miles away, in the heavily guarded city lord's mansion, in a simple and elegant study, there were also three people discussing something.

One of them, dressed in a yellow robe, with a thin face and a cold complexion, sat at an antique table, and opposite sat a man in brocade clothes, his chubby face was flushed, and a literati in a green robe stood at the table, with thin eyebrows and small eyes, bowing and speaking

"Lord Qiqi, my subordinates have just received two pieces of news, one good and one bad, which one does the prince want to hear first?"

The middle-aged man with a cold face frowned, and said slowly, "Bad!"

"Lord Qiqi, the minions who escaped from the Black Wind Village have heard the news that the deadly scholar was killed in the Black Wind Village, and our special weapons are still in the Black Wind Village!"

The middle-aged man in the yellow robe closed his eyes when he heard this, rubbed his temples with his hands, and opened his eyes after a while. "The scholar who killed him is a rare master, and he is proficient in the use of poison, how can he be killed?"

"As far as his subordinates know, he was killed in a head-to-head confrontation. ”

"Head to head, so the person who killed him is also a master!"

"It must be. ”

"Lord Wang, a small thief village, sent troops to suppress it, my Vice General Liu led 3,000 troops to garrison Jiayuan City, and he has nothing to do recently, and he also asked me to transfer him to the front line for meritorious service!"

"City Lord Yuan, don't you know, when the scholar who killed him was in Heifeng Village, Jiayuan City sent troops to encircle and suppress it several times, not only did it not succeed, but also suffered heavy losses, and the terrain of Heifeng Village was really precipitous. The green-robed man bowed down again and said to the round-faced man.

"Haha, Jiayuan City is located in a remote area, and there are no siege equipment, but when we attacked Jiayuan City, we brought more than a dozen boulder carts, and the boulder carts can throw flints a hundred zhang away, if they can't hide, they will burn the cottage with flint. ”

"Lord Wang, City Lord Yuan's method is feasible, but his subordinates think it's better to send someone to negotiate first. ”

"Tell me about it!"

"First, the 3,000 soldiers who stayed in Jiayuan City should not be easily dispatched, there are tens of thousands of people in the city, and it is not easy to suppress once there is a rebellion; The subordinates heard that the commander of the palace guard of the lord of Tong'an City is one of the main people in Heifeng Village now, and the guards of Heifeng Village are also his subordinates, as long as the prince asks Tong'an City to master a book, that person is a foolish and loyal person, and it is very likely that he will accept our conditions. ”

"This matter is as you say, and the rest is up to you. ”

"Subordinates obey!"

"Something else!"

"Someone just sent a letter to the house, saying that it was a secret letter from the lord of Guanghan City. The subordinates have examined the letter and found that there is no poison in it. The letter is here, please look at it. After saying that, he took out something from his sleeve and handed it over.

The yellow-robed man took the letter, opened it and read it, and after a moment asked with a smile, "How do you know that this is a good thing?"

"Returning to the prince, the person who sent the letter, I have carefully observed, words and deeds should be a soldier; although there is no word on this envelope, the fire paint sealed by the letter is fragrant and shiny, and it is precious and abnormal at a glance, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have it. Therefore, the subordinates judged that this letter was written by the lord of Guanghan City, and this person sent someone to send a secret letter at this time, which can only be good, not bad!"

"Hahahaha, what a ghost strategy, so why can it only be good, not bad?"

"Now our army of 100,000 troops in five cities is coming to the city of Qike, cutting off its grain route, and the grain and grass in the city of Qike are no longer enough to support March, and after March, we will either fight or surrender. The two cities of Guanghan and Yongchang are called reinforcements, but they don't dare to send troops, for fear that they will be ambushed like the two cities of Jiayuan and Tong'an. Once the city of Qike is broken, it will be easy to take down their two cities. The lord of Guanghan City, at this time, sent someone to send a secret letter, but he could only secretly surrender to the prince. In this way, when the city of Ke is broken, he can also leave a way back for himself. ”

"That's right, that's what the letter meant, but is there any deception in it?"

"Lord Wang, it doesn't matter if you're really sincere or not, that person is just leaving a way back for himself, and after the city of Ke is broken, he will definitely surrender, and we can save some effort. ”

"What does City Lord Yuan have on this matter?"

"The general trend of the annexation is already very clear, and the city lord of Guanghan will be able to recognize the situation and be a clever person. ”

"Hahahaha, then let's wait for three months to see if the city of Ke is fighting or surrendering!

"Yes! The subordinates will arrange it. ”

Seven days later, in the open space in front of the Black Wind Village, hundreds of people gathered, and it seemed that all the people in the village had come. In the midst of jubilation, a plaque was hung on the gate of the village, and three words were written on the plaque: Xiong'an Village! The evil black wind village has disappeared cleanly since then.

At the same time, a sedan chair appeared at the foot of the Black Wind Mountain, and the four sedan chair men were panting and sweating profusely, as if they were carrying extremely heavy objects. "What kind of person, what's the matter with my Xiong'an Village?" two guards armed with broadswords appeared at the crossing of the mountain.

"Xiong'an Village, isn't this the Black Wind Village?" The sedan curtain was lifted, revealing a greasy and fat face.

"Heifeng Village has long been destroyed, and now it is called Xiong'an Village. ”

"That's right. Tell your rulers to come out, and say that the envoy of King Lu has arrived, and he shall come out quickly to meet him. The fat man in the sedan said arrogantly.

The two guards looked at each other: "You guys wait here, let's go and make a report." ”

"Go and go back, it's been a bumpy ride, and I'm tired of this envoy. ”

Over there, Ma Yun and the others were celebrating in the square, and the guards reported that there was an envoy of King Lu.

"King Lu's envoy, Brother Tong, is King Lu trying to recruit us?" asked Ma Yun with a smile.

"No matter what King Lu wants, let the envoy go up the mountain first. ”

"Salute first and then soldier, we can't lose our courtesy, let him go up the mountain. Jack Ma nodded.

"How many people are there?" Tong Guanshan looked at the guards.

"General Hui, in addition to the envoy, there are also four palanquin men. ”

"Let the envoy come up alone, and bring some food and drink to the palanquins, and let them wait at the bottom of the mountain." ”

"General, the envoy told you to come down the mountain to meet him. The guard said hesitantly.

"What, let's go down the mountain to meet him?" Qin Ming, who was next to him, became furious when he heard this.

"Brother Qin is angry, anyway, if you have nothing to do, let's go down to meet him. Ma Yun said with a smile.

"The owner of the village, this man is also rude, why should we pay attention to him. In front of everyone in the cottage, Tong Guanshan called Ma Yun as the owner of the village.

"That's it, if you go down to greet him, it's better to let Lao Qin and I beat him. ”

"Two big brothers, you have to look at the purpose of coming. If you don't want to go, then I'll go alone. ”

"How can I let you go alone, and I will go with you. ”

"Then I'll go to Lao Qin too. ”

"That's okay, what I'll say and do in a while, don't be weird, don't be angry, and don't get angry. Jack Ma's smile was tinged with weirdness.

The three of them reached the bottom of the mountain together. At this time, the envoy of King Nalu had already gotten off the sedan chair and looked around with his hands behind his back. "It's been a long time, and you haven't seen anyone come down, don't you take this envoy seriously?" the guard stood on the mountain path, ignoring him.

"Hmph, if you anger this envoy, turn around and kill King Lu's army, and kill you without a piece of armor. The guard looked disgusted and was about to open his mouth to respond, when a loud voice came.

"The mountain road is rugged, and I came down late, and I neglected the envoy, so please calm your anger. The mountain road revealed the figures of Ma Yun and the three. The envoy glanced at the three of them, and then set his eyes on Ma Yun, because Ma Yun was standing in the middle, and he was the one who spoke.

"I am the envoy of the king of Lu, and I have come here to inspect at the order of the king of Lu, and I have some things to convey. Who are you?"

"Greetings to the envoy, we are the owner of this Xiong'an Village, I am the owner of Ma Village, this is the owner of Tong Village, and that is the owner of Qin Village. He also asked the envoy to move to the village, and ordered his subordinates to prepare wine and food to entertain the envoy. Ma Yun bowed modestly and said, Qin and Tong beside him were taken aback, fortunately, Ma Yun reminded him before, and the two quickly regained their composure.

"Well, that's very good, and I really know how to do it. The fat envoy was very satisfied with Ma Yun's performance, his face was full of smiles, and when he heard the master of the Tong Village, he deliberately took a few more looks.

"Special Envoy, please. ”

The mountain road was rugged, and the fat envoy looked like a pampered person, and he was tired and out of breath after walking for a long time.

"Special envoy, you see that this road is not easy to walk, so let me help you!"

"This..." Before the envoy could agree, Ma Yun had already put his hand on the envoy's thick arm.

"I still neglected the envoy, and when I went down the mountain, I made a sedan chair for the envoy and carried him down the mountain. ”

"Well, the owner of the horse village has a heart. The fat envoy was very satisfied with Ma Yun's performance and couldn't stop praising him. Tong and Qin next to them looked confused.

Finally, with the support of Ma Yun, the 200-meter mountain road walked for more than ten minutes, and a few people arrived at the gate of the village.

"Xiong'an Village! This name is good, majestic and safe, compared to that Black Wind Village, it is the name of a bandit when you hear it!"

"Thank you for the special envoy's compliment, and I will ask the special envoy to write a plaque for my cottage and sign the name of the special envoy, so that it will be more powerful. ”

"Well said, well said. Ma Yun was slapping the sycophants here, and Qin Ming was grabbing his hair anxiously, and he really didn't understand what medicine was sold in the gourd.

"Envoy, it's good to go when you get to the mountain, and after a while, you will arrive at the Juyi Cave, where you have already prepared a banquet. We ate and talked. ”

"The master of the horse village is so sensible, it seems that the things that the prince explained will not be difficult to do. Soon several people arrived at the Juyi Cave in Ma Yun's mouth, which was the main cave.

"Envoy, please take a seat, the food and drinks will be prepared later. Ling'er served tea!" Ling'er came out of nowhere, holding a teapot and pouring a cup of tea for each of the four people.

"I wonder what the envoy is doing all this hard work?"

"The prince has a batch of weapons, how many village owners should know, right?" the three nodded.

"The prince needs those weapons, and I hope you can continue to make weapons and provide them to the prince. As a reward, the prince is not guilty of your killing of the scholar who killed him, and can guarantee the safety of your Xiong'an Village. In the future, if the prince has a great career, there will be another reward. ”

"I didn't expect the prince to be so generous, I was afraid that the prince would blame, but now I am relieved. Ma Yun said with excitement on his face.

"Now it is in troubled times, the so-called good birds choose trees and perch, good ministers choose the lord and do things, the prince is wise and martial, it is a rare master, we only need to assist the prince well, in the future, the prince will unify Kyushu, and we will be indispensable for glory and wealth. ”

"Come, replace wine with tea, let's toast the prince together! I wish the prince a great success as soon as possible!"

"Okay, after I go back, I will definitely tell the prince the words of the owner of the horse village, and I will wait to receive the reward!"

"Thank you envoy! By the way, the envoy, I don't know what the current situation of Jiayuan City is, the people are still stable, why are there still many refugees fleeing to my cottage?" Qin Ming and Tong Guanshan's eyes lit up, and they finally understood Ma Yun's intentions.
