Deng Jian was beaten to the point of stardom.

If it were someone else, I was afraid that I would already be angry.

But Deng Jian laughed with him, and kept nodding his head at the flag man, showing a flattering look.

The flag man was about to fight, but the other flag man chatted with him, and the flag man waved his hand, probably saying something similar to rolling.

Deng Jian then ordered people to continue their journey.

The convoy entered Fushun.

Deng Jian touched his cheek, only pursed his lips and frowned.

This journey in Liaodong is really hard.

Although he has the identity of a businessman as a cover, he is still extremely dangerous.

One of the hardest things is to swallow your anger.

The convoy finally arrived at Li Yongfang's mansion.

This mansion occupies a huge area, it seems to be very magnificent, it should have been the residence of a wealthy family in the past, but now, it is Li Yongfang's property.

This perimeter is heavily guarded.

When Deng Jian approached with the convoy, someone immediately stepped forward and scolded: "Who is it? ”

This is Chinese.

The person who spoke, wearing the costume of the Han people, did not shave his hair on his head, and at this time the shaving order had not yet begun, and the traitor team headed by Li Yongfang was not incorporated into the Han army flag.

So...... These people are still wearing buns on their heads, and some of them are even wearing the clothes of the former Ming army.

Deng Jian stepped forward with a smile and said, "The slave is a member of the Datong Zhang family, and he was ordered to come to see Li Eyu." ”

Without the Han military flag, there would be no distinction between master and slave, but these people were submissive to Jiannu, although they were not considered slaves in the establishment, but these Han people in Liaodong had begun to emulate the customs of Jiannu.

What kind of master, slave, etc., come as soon as you open your mouth.

I heard that some nobles who built slaves are very dissatisfied with this, the master and the slave are qualified to be called by our slave builders, what qualifications do you have?

Therefore, Li Yongfang, the chief military officer, is strictly forbidden to be called so, but there is still no way to stop it, after all, the Chinese dialect and the Jiannu dialect are not comprehensible, and when Deng Jian came, he already had a very clear understanding of the customs here.

The man immediately went to report, and came back after a while and said, "Mr. Li is entertaining distinguished guests, you go in first and wait in the small hall." ”

Deng Jian was led in, and sat for a while before someone slowly walked in.

This person is not good-looking, but between his expectations, he is quite complacent.

He was no more than thirty or forty years old, wearing a fox fur coat, with a braid at the back of his head, and Li Yongfang was almost the first Han Chinese to cut his braids, and he seemed quite proud of this, and he wrapped his braids around his neck, and the braids were shiny and shiny, apparently he had tried his best to maintain them.

Deng Jian hurriedly got up, then knelt down, and said respectfully: "Slave Deng Jian, I have seen Master Li." ”

Li Yongfang only glanced at him lightly, and said lightly: "Are you from the Zhang family?" ”

Deng Jian immediately said: "The slave is dead, and the slave is not from the Zhang family." ”

When Li Yongfang heard this, he was immediately vigilant and said coldly: "What do you mean?" ”

As he spoke, several guards at the door also became nervous and pressed the hilt of their swords.

Deng Jian said: "The slave is actually the person of the military deputy general, this time, he ordered me to come to see the master, but the road is dangerous, and I am afraid that the Ming army along the way will see through, so he ordered me to use Zhang Ji's identity." ”

When Li Yongfang heard this, his face softened slightly, and he said, "Is he good in the capital?" ”

"Okay, although it is extremely dangerous, but at this time, he has already established a relationship with the military department and some people in the Beijing camp, and with their care, he will not be suspected."

Li Yongfang only showed some concern at this time: "His official position has come down?" ”

Deng Jian shook his head and said: "No, then Wei Zhongxian has been controlling the promotion and recruitment of military attaches recently, and the military department is ...... Also waiting for the moment. ”

Li Yongfang walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, frowning, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

However, Li Yongfang was obviously attentive and said: "In this way, he won't be able to go to Jinzhou to be an official?" ”

Deng Jian was surprised: "Didn't you say...... Go to Ningyuan? ”

Li Yongfang said lightly: "Oh, it seems that the old man is mistaken, this Wei Zhongxian...... It's really a big trouble for our henchmen......"

Li Yongfang immediately said: "Wu Changchun asked you to come here, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"There is a baby, I want to ask Li Ye to see, this thing is really rare, I heard that the Ming army spent a lot of money to build, it is a sharp weapon for raids and sieges, and the deputy general Wu spent a lot of thought, so through the relationship, he got it out."

Sharp weapon......

Li Yongfang said, "Huh...... Is the Ming army poor in donkey skills? Vainly trying to turn the overall situation around with a few sharp weapons? ”

said so, but he knew that even if this thing was not extraordinary, with Wu Changchun spending so much effort to bring it here, it would never be an ordinary thing.

So he said, "Does he have any letters?" ”

Deng Jian scolded in his heart, this surnamed Li is really cautious.

He then nodded, and hurriedly pulled out a crumpled letter from his sleeve.

Li Yongfang took it, looked down, and then understood in his heart, and looked at Deng Jian with a gentle face: "Where is the baby?" ”

Deng Jian said: "The thing is too big, I'm afraid I need to find an open place." ”

Li Yongfang said: "My mansion occupies a large area, but I go to the backyard. ”

"Yes."

Li Yongfang led Deng Jian out of the small hall with his hands behind his back, and ordered: "There will be nobles coming later, you should be cautious." ”

Elegant......

Deng Jian couldn't help but think in his heart, this Li Yongfang was originally the chief military officer, and he could be called a noble person in his mouth, but he was afraid of ......

Deng Jian said submissively: "Yes, yes." ”

This Li Yongfang is an extremely cautious person, even if he gets Wu Changchun's letter, Deng Jian's identity is irrefutable, but he still keeps an eye on it.

As soon as he left the hall, more than a dozen guards followed.

All the way to the backyard of the Li family, there was indeed a big garden.

Li Yongfang said: "What about the sharp weapon? ”

"It's in the car, and the guys are guarding it."

Li Yongfang said: "Bring them in." ”

"But this thing must be loaded and unloaded, and it must be a person who is familiar with it, if not...... If there is any bump......"

"Call your buddies along."

Deng Jian said with a respectful face: "Yes." ”

In the backyard of the Li Mansion, there are people guarding everywhere, which can be described as three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry.

Not long after, the seven or eight men came to the car, and immediately stopped the car, and began to unload the goods on the open ground in the middle.

But...... Li Yongfang left for a while, and waited for two sticks of incense before carefully accompanying an old man with a shaved head out.

Although this old man is old, he is a tiger's back, murderous, and his eyes are above the top.

Li Yongfang was beside him, eclipsed for a moment, he smiled cautiously, and explained something in a low voice in Jiannu words.

The old man of the Jiannu man only nodded contemptuously, but he was still in a lofty posture.

Seeing this, Deng Jian didn't dare to look at the Jiannu people more.

He knew very well that he had to appear trembling, submissive and trembling, and in a way, this was the easiest thing to take off his guard.

I saw the guys take a huge rattan basket from the cart.

Then, a large amount of canvas began to be taken out.

They began to busily assemble.

Li Yongfang doesn't seem to know what it is.

After looking at it for a while, he showed a little impatience, called Deng Jian in front of him, and scolded: "What is this, why is it so troublesome?" ”

"It's going to be good, it's going to be good." Deng Jian nodded and said, "Later, Li Ye will be visible, and Vice General Wu will explain it again and again......"

"That's enough." Li Yongfang waved his hand unhappily.

Then he turned to the man and patiently explained in Jiannu dialect.

The Jiannu man obviously didn't have much interest in this thing, and thought it was ...... It's just a basket and a piece of cloth.

The Jiannu loved archers and, of course, they loved artillery.

But for other Han things, most of them are disdainful.

Li Yongfang's mind is different.

In his opinion, since this was sent by Nawu Changchun, it must be a rarity.

He just took this opportunity to ask for credit and reward in front of this Jiannu people, showing his merits in the layout of the Guannei.

The Jiannu people didn't say a word, just blindly sneered.

After a while......

A miracle happened.

The huge canvas burned with flames underneath, and then the canvas began to slowly bulge.

The bulging canvas, connected to the rattan basket below, seemed to have strength, and began to soar towards the sky.

Fortunately, there are several cables that connect the rattan baskets, which are tied to the ground.

Thereupon...... From the backyard of the Li family, a huge flying ball was constantly expanding and hanging in the air.

Deng Jian looked at this thing and couldn't help but be amazed, although he had seen it many times when he was in the capital.

But every time he saw it, he still couldn't help but marvel that there was such a thing in the world.

And Li Yongfang and the Jiannu people also became extremely surprised at this moment.

Li Yongfang was dumbfounded, looking eager to try, as if he wanted to know the effect of the flying ball that rose in the air, and hurriedly summoned Deng Jian to the front: "What is this." ”

"It's a hot air balloon that can carry people into the sky. Mr. Li, you said that if this thing is carrying people to the sky, can it overlook the enemy situation on the ground from the sky from below, or ...... Falling from the sky...... Raid ......"

Li Yongfang listened, the whole person became excited, and then hurriedly knelt down towards the Jiannu man, and began to speak in Jiannu words.

This Jiannu man originally looked disdainful, but at this time he seemed to be shocked.

He stared at the object intently, looking incredulous.

Obviously, he had realized the benefits of this thing, and there was no need for Li Yongfang to explain it at all.

Li Yongfang asked at this time: "How did this thing come about?" ”

"This, the minion doesn't know."

It's true, this thing...... What is the principle and why it can go to heaven, Deng Jian really doesn't know anything.

The Jiannu man seemed to say something, and Li Yongfang instructed Deng Jiandao: "Go, lead me, the master, and go close to have a look." ”
