Zhu Quan heard Shen Peng's confident tone, but he was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought: It seems that salt is strictly controlled in any dynasty, and people are not allowed to sell it privately. Shen Peng's huge convoy can avoid all the checkpoints and transport it from Zhejiang to this distant Liaodong, I'm afraid that ordinary people can't do it, does this Shen Peng really have the means to reach the sky? Can you buy off officials from several provinces along the road? Feng Tieling's thousands of men and horses attach so much importance to this salt, it is obvious that it is extremely difficult to obtain salt in this Liaodong, if Nahachu's 200,000 army must also rely on the salt transported by Shen Peng, Lan Yu is stuck at the border checkpoint and the source is dead, wouldn't it be able to inflict a heavy blow on Nahachu without moving a single soldier? Why should we still mobilize an army of 200,000 to mobilize the people on an expedition? If it is said that this huge amount of salt can hide from Lan Yu's eyes and ears at the border pass, I am afraid that it is unlikely. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel suspicious in my heart, and it is difficult to understand.

As the convoy drove along, a bullock cart suddenly crushed a stone from its wheels, and under the bumps of the car, a sack of table salt, untied, shook and fell to the bottom of the car. At this moment, I saw a sturdy man in the car with a sturdy arm that grew violently, stretched out like lightning, and with a soft "click", five fingers were inserted into the sack like a steel hook, and then the ape arm was lightly stretched, and the sack of more than 100 catties was lifted back to the car and firmly bound.

Zhu Quan and Xu Ying were sitting side by side on the ox cart facing backwards at this time, and they saw the scene more than ten zhang away in the back, Zhu Quan asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Shen, there are really only ordinary coachmen in your caravan, man, and there is no one who knows martial arts?" ”

Shen Peng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Some of the coachmen were hired by me when I was in Liaodong, but I didn't ask in detail whether they knew martial arts. The people of Liaodong are fierce, and some of them may have practiced the crop style. With that, he shouted and rode his horse to the front convoy to take care of the goods. It turned out that he was riding a horse and following Zhu Quan and Xu Ying's car, but he didn't see the scene behind Fang Cai. After saying that, he went to the front convoy to take care of the goods.

Xu Ying raised her eyebrows when she heard this, looked at Zhu Quan beside her, and said softly: "I'm afraid that this man's martial arts are still above me, and a person with such skills can never be just an ordinary coachman, buddy." ”

"Are you very good at martial arts? In a short time, my martial arts skills will be higher than yours, and now I'm not also a guy who follows Mr. Shen? Zhu Quan chuckled and pointed to his ordinary man's clothes. Although he said this, Zhu Quan was also secretly awe-inspiring in his heart, he had followed Qin Zhuofeng to practice martial arts for a long time, and he could naturally see that the man was extraordinary, and he must be a person with a great background.

Xu Ying was displeased when she heard this, leaned on her right shoulder, bumped Zhu Quan's left shoulder "fiercely", and said hatefully: "Then next time I ask the master to teach you martial arts, leave a few hands and not pass on, so that your life's kung fu will also stride over me." ”

Zhu Quan snorted lightly in his nose, but his face showed a slight look of pain.

Xu Ying suddenly remembered the arrow wound on Zhu Quan's shoulder at this time, and she had applied it with gold sore medicine before, bandaged it carefully, and secretly regretted it in her heart, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?" I'll change your dressing when the wound breaks. ”

Zhu Quanqiang couldn't help but laugh and nodded.

Xu Ying reached out and took out the golden medicine and handkerchief, and reached out to touch Zhu Quan's left shoulder, but he couldn't feel the bandage he had just bandaged in his shirt, and then he suddenly remembered that Zhu Quan was obviously injured in his right shoulder, and he hit his left shoulder at this time, how could he touch the wound? It was obvious that this bad boy was deliberately playing tricks on himself, and he couldn't help but hate and be angry.

Zhu Quan stretched out very comfortably, and took a nap comfortably in the car.

But he said that the man who was athletic and reached out to grab it before the sack hit the ground was sitting upright on a salt truck ten feet behind Zhu Quan and Xu Ying, while reaching out to wipe the salt grains on his palm, he secretly regretted Fang Cai's actions in his heart. I saw that this person's face was slightly pale, his body was thin, and he looked like a person who had been sick for many years, but his eyes were open and closed, but the essence was flashing, showing that he had deep internal strength. It was in the Ming Dynasty that the official residence of the four products, but it was Jiang Xian, who was unknown to the Jinyi Wei Zuo Tongzhi in the Manchu Dynasty, and commanded the Jinyi Wei "wood" and "water" two guards. At this time, there were three men in men's clothes sitting next to him, one was a Mongolian in his thirties, and the other two Han Chinese young men in their twenties who were armed with martial arts were his subordinates.

Jiang Xian turned his head to look at the surrounding convoy, and saw that Fang Cai's own actions didn't seem to attract anyone's attention, so he put his mind at ease and secretly thought to himself: "How did this kid also come to Liaodong?" Could it be that he followed Feng Sheng and Fu Youde's expedition to Nahachu's army? The "kid" he was thinking about in his heart was naturally Zhu Quan, who was in another car not far away at the moment, as "His Royal Highness King Ning".

Although Jiang Xian had already known that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was determined to dispatch Feng Sheng and Fu Youde to lead an army of 200,000 to Liaodong since he left Yingtian, it was not until he saw Zhu Quan that Xu Ying and the others changed out of Ming army clothes and followed Shen Peng to the convoy that they knew that they had also come to Liaodong.

The Mongolian man looked left and right, coughed lightly, and said in Chinese with some anxiety in his heart: "Lord Jiang, if the lower official does not disgrace his mission this time and achieves the task with the lord, can you please say a few kind words for me in front of Your Majesty, and transfer the lower official to Ying Tian as an official?" ”

Jiang Xian was slightly displeased when he heard this, frowned and said softly, "Brother Nai, you and I are burdened with heavy responsibilities, and the environment is very important at this time, so don't use the titles of Shangguan or subordinate." Speaking of this, he endured the disgust in his heart, and said with a pleasant face: "Brother Nai stabbed me with all his heart, and voluntarily followed me to Liaodong without avoiding difficulties and dangers, and after completing the mission, I will play truthfully for my brother, and it is not a problem to add officials to the knighthood, and the invitation of the virtuous brother is a trivial matter, but what is the difficulty?" ”

When he heard Jiang Xian say that he had voluntarily followed him to Liaodong, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart: You came to Beiping, showed me your identity, and showed the secret decree of His Majesty Emperor Hongwu, if I refuse to come to Liaodong to persuade Guantong to surrender, can the family still have a way to live? I heard Jiang Xian's promise in my ears, but I turned my worries into joy, and I couldn't help myself.

It turned out that he was a subordinate of the general Guantong under Nahachu, the Taiwei of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, since Xu Da, waved the Northern Expedition, and after breaking through the capital, he surrendered to the Ming court, because he was able to speak and have some talents, so he stayed in Beiping and became a six-grade official in the Ming Dynasty. He served as a civil official in the former Yuan Court and the current Ming Dynasty, so he was unconsciously influenced by the Han culture, and at this time, if the Central Plains culture was prosperous and developed, Yingtian and the Jiangnan area were the first to be recommended, but not Beiping. Therefore, I have been longing for the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the ten miles of Qin Huai in my heart, and I was naturally very excited when I heard Jiang Xian agree to what he invited.

Nai Thorn Wu had the heart to please His Majesty's direct personal guard, the powerful Tongzhi in the Jinyi Guard, and said with a respectful face: "The longer the younger brother has been an official in the Ming Dynasty, the more he admires His Majesty's eloquence and strategy, which is not comparable to our Mongolian Great Khan." In the past, when Marshal Xu Da broke through the capital, he immediately put up a list to calm the people, and strictly restrained his subordinates, so that we and other Mongolian officials were not slaughtered and persecuted, so on the day most of them were breached, not only many Han shops were open as usual, but many Mongolian officials, as long as they were really talented, also retained their original official positions. Your Majesty not only did not discriminate against us and other Mongols by drawing lines with people, as was the case in the previous Yuan Court, but also fully understood the customs and habits of our famous people, and did not force us to dress like Han Chinese. If the Mongols were willing to reclaim wasteland, His Majesty also gave the Han people the general treatment of exemption from taxes for three years. In recent years, more and more nomadic Mongols from Liaodong have moved to the vicinity of Beiping. As a low-level civil official in Beiping, the Ming Dynasty, this statement was originally to please Zhu Yuanzhang and Jiang Xian, but in the past two years in Beiping, a place where Mongolian and Han people live, he has a lot of feelings.

When a subordinate beside Jiang Xian heard this, he couldn't help but interject and continued: "You Mongols have come down a city, all of them are rape, plunder, and slaughter, not to mention the officials, they are ordinary people, the bold ones are desperate with you, and the cowardly ones are also moved by the wind, and the family flees, leaving you with an empty city." ”
