Chapter 229: Sabre-rattling
Qin Zhuofeng saw that the other party was galloping and the men and horses were united, like a gust of wind sweeping the ground, extremely fast, and simply jumped over. Hot Books// Just as he was in mid-air, avoiding the arrow, a bowstring vibrating suddenly sounded in his ears, and a gust of wind had reached the distance of his throat. When the first arrow just passed by, the second arrow came and went, almost one after the other, and flew continuously.
It turned out that Haksu knew that the other party was so arrogant, naturally he was not incompetent, and when he opened the bow and released the arrow, he used a unique technique, the first arrow only opened half a bow, but the second arrow was a bow like a full moon, and the lightning and stone fire were shot in succession.
Fortunately, Qin Zhuofeng's internal strength is extremely exquisite, his ear power is far better than that of ordinary people, the horse is galloping, and the sound of the bowstring of the second arrow is still heard under the chaotic hooves.
Unexpectedly, after Ha Kesu shot the second arrow, he suddenly clamped the horse's belly with his legs again, and the war horse suddenly accelerated and turned over and hid in a kick, hiding under the horse's belly, and the ghost made Qin Zhuofeng catch it in the air.
Although Haksu had never seen whether the second arrow had hit the other party, as a marksman who was proficient in mounted archery, he avoided swinging his sword and slashing with the enemy, which was tempered by countless battlefield battles, like an instinctive reaction that penetrated deep into the bone marrow. He actually made himself dodge Qin Zhuofeng's fierce hand like a goshawk pounce.
The two staggered, and in the blink of an eye, Haksu had already rushed more than two feet, and when he turned to bend the bow again, the arrow was just on the bowstring, and when he was about to shoot the third arrow, there was a sharp sound like cracking silk in his ears, and at the same time, the longbow in his hand was already full moon, and there was a violent shock as if it had been struck by thunder, and a shadow "clicked" to split the longbow in half, and cut a sharp cut on his right arm, which broke through the air and disappeared into the distance.
It turned out that after Qin Zhuofeng's blow missed, as soon as his body hit the ground, he threw the opponent's arrow in his mouth with his backhand under the internal force of his right hand, and flew like thunder, hurting Haksu's bow and arm.
The so-called glory and humiliation, seeing that after the Jebel of his clan turned over and dismounted, the blood from the tiger's mouth and arms flowed down, and he approached with a pale face, and several entourages behind Manra Hafeisi couldn't help but roar angrily, and each took a step forward.
Lan Yu sneered and waved his hand, and Wang Erhu and the other soldiers pulled out the war knives on their waists one after another.
Lan Yu laughed loudly and said, "Shao Benshuai is dancing in front of his teeth and claws, this should not be the turn of the Tartars in the Heavenly City." ”
Seeing that the situation in the field had suddenly become tense and imminent, Ma Sanbao did not translate Lan Yu's words, so as not to add fuel to the fire. He has a steady temperament, and he knows that the other party is an envoy of a country after all, and if he is injured in such a martial arts fight, he is afraid that Zhu Quan will not be able to explain in front of the emperor.
Nai Thorn Wu was also in the Blue Jade Army in the past, and he knew that he was not afraid of heaven and earth. As an official who received the envoys this time, if he caused a mess, he would definitely not be able to escape the blame, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy when he saw such a scene, and quietly came to Zhu Quan's side with a pale face, stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve, and motioned to beg him to come forward and turn around.
Seeing Wang Erhu and the other soldiers holding sharp blades, glaring at him and the others viciously, he naturally understood in his heart that if this unruly Han general gave an order, he was afraid that he would be outnumbered and would not be able to escape the scourge of dismembering the corpses, so he had no choice but to wave his hand and drink a few followers, turned his head and smiled at Zhu Quan, "Your warriors' methods are indeed amazing, and we are convinced." ”
Zhu Quan smiled, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, This is called the wicked have their own wicked grinding.
Seeing that the other party was soft, Lan Yu didn't care about himself, turned around to greet Qin Zhuofeng, and led a group of guards to leave.
Manra Hafeisi didn't expect that today's contest would make him disgraced, and he didn't continue to play Ying Tiancheng's interest at all, so he shirked his physical discomfort and returned to Honglu Temple accompanied by Zhu Quan.
After Zhu Quan said goodbye, he turned around and took two steps, but Huo Ran turned around and smiled and said, "The envoy will ask the good people to rest in peace, and the subordinates must not come out to play around after dark, so as not to beat the people in the city." After saying that, he turned his head to Naiji, and said two solemn instructions, asking a cadre of officials from Honglu Temple to "take care" of Timur's envoy and his party.
Seeing that there was no danger today, the Timurid envoy finally returned to Honglu Temple safe and sound, and the big stone in his heart fell down, and he smiled bitterly in his heart and obeyed the order.
Manra Hafeisi stared at the back of Zhu Quan leading Shi Ran away, and couldn't help but hate the root of his teeth, thinking back to the barbarian general he met in the school military place, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart that these Han people have cumbersome etiquette and are known as the state of etiquette, how can the Ning Wang and others encountered today are all tricky and brutal.
After dinner, Xu Ying went home, and Zhu Quan sat bored in the study to copy books and complete the "homework" assigned by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Ma Sanbao looked sideways while grinding ink, and saw that although Zhu Quan's strokes were still ugly, compared to the past, he was also quite enterprising, and couldn't help but bow slightly.
Zhu Quan saw Ma Sanbao's face showing approval, and couldn't help but feel very complacent, and secretly thought to himself that if many calligraphers in later generations came to this world of brushes, they would be ashamed and landless, and they would never dare to call themselves calligraphers again. Let's write this brush well, and don't worry about Old Man Zhu's scolding.
With the sound of footsteps, two figures entered the study.
Zhu Quan looked up, but saw that he was wearing green clothes, exuding a smell of wine, and it was his master Qin Zhuofeng who was sitting on one side. Another man who was slightly fat, with a slightly dredging face, and a little embarrassed, was Shen Peng, who had not met for a long time, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Qin Zhuofeng stretched out his hand to take the hot tea offered by Ma Sanbao, wiped his lips after drinking it all, stretched out his finger and pointed at Shen Peng and scolded with a smile, "When I came back to the palace for the teacher, I saw Shen Fatzi wandering around, so I simply called him back with me." I haven't seen him for a long time, and I don't know what kind of fame he is doing outside the mansion. ”
Shen Peng couldn't help but turn pale when he heard this, and suddenly knelt down on his knees and said to Zhu Quan in a trembling voice, "The villain's life is on the line, but I ask His Highness to come to the rescue." ”
Seeing Shen Peng so embarrassed, Zhu Quan couldn't help but recall the past when he traveled with Shen Peng in the past and went to Liaodong to persuade Nahachu to surrender, and recalled the concubine Ouyang Lun, who had been given death by Zhu Yuanzhang, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, put down the brush and came to Shen Peng, waved his hand to signal him to stand up and speak, and asked lightly, "Could it be that Jinyi Wei can't do it?" In his opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely angry at Ouyang Lun's private sale of salt tea, and these days, many officials have fallen to the ground because of their involvement in this matter, but I am afraid that Shen Peng has also suffered from the pond fish. Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a little heavy in my heart, and the people I was concerned about were not only the civil officials in the court who were like knives, but also the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Jiang Xian, who was not quietly staring at him in the dark all the time.
Unexpectedly, Shen Peng shook his head slightly and said, "The villain is not an official body, but he has not attracted the attention of Jinyi Wei and the Criminal Department, but His Royal Highness the King of Jin ......" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Quan, looking like he wanted to say something. In the past, he was a confidant and businessman under Ouyang Lun, didn't he know the danger of being caught in such a whirlpool of power, and now he was desperate to come out of the palace, and he was still hesitating, wondering whether it was a curse or a blessing to turn to Zhu Quan for help? Fortunately, Qin Zhuofeng couldn't help but say that he would come in, and he had no choice but to have the courage to say that he would come out.
Zhu Li, the king of Jin, is the third son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and his second brother Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, is the earliest prince of the domain.
Zhu Quan heard that this matter was related to this Zhu Laosan, who had never met before, and knew in his heart that in the past, Ouyang Lun's business was all over the provinces, and Shanxi was Zhu Zhang's territory, if he didn't get a piece of the pie, it would be a strange thing.
Shen Peng knew that Zhu Quan had guessed the reason, so he had the courage to whisper: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, in order to avoid falling into the hands of the imperial history of the court and the officials of the Criminal Department, naturally wants to make the villain disappear from now on. ”
Zhu Quan heard that this matter had nothing to do with the Jinyi Guard and the Criminal Department, and he couldn't help but feel relaxed for a while, and said lightly, "Although he holds military power, it is a pity that he is still beyond the reach of this Yingtian City." After that, he turned his head to Ma Sanbao and said, "Please come to the study to discuss important matters." ”
Qin Zhuofeng drank Lan Yu and several of his soldiers today, and then returned to the palace, at this time, the wine was churning, and he really didn't want to listen to Zhu Quan and Jing Kun, the old pedant, discuss the matter of intrigue, snatched the teapot that Ma Sanbao was about to put down, drank it all and left, and went to rest by himself.
After about a cup of tea, an old man in a blue shirt with gray hair and about fifty years old slowly walked into the study, it was Zhu Quan's teacher Jing Kun.
After listening to Zhu Quan's story about what happened to Shen Peng, Jing Kun already knew Zhu Quan's intentions in his heart, he had heard Zhu Quan talk about the Shangtun that Ouyang Lun talked about in the past, and guessed that it must be related to this matter.
Zhu Quan turned his head to look at Shen Peng, who was sitting on the side, and said in a deep voice, "You can relax and live in the palace temporarily, this king is also a person who has fought with thousands of troops and horses, although Zhu Laosan holds military power, this king may not be afraid of him." ”
Shen Peng saw that His Royal Highness King Ning was trying his best to defend it, and immediately put his mind at ease, and said gratefully, "If the villain escapes, he should be incognito and never show his face again." "He used to be the right-hand man of Ouyang Lun, and his business contacts over the years could be regarded as smooth sailing, but he never expected that under the voice of His Majesty the Emperor, the former backer also collapsed, and he was chased and killed by the King of Jin. After this great change, it is inevitable that some people will be discouraged.
"With your talents, it would be a waste to be a villager, and after this matter is over, this king still has important things to do with you." Zhu Quan smiled when he heard this, and seeing Shen Peng's puzzled expression, he waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and said in a deep voice, "After the king of Japan became the king of Japan, the grain and grass of the army is the top priority, and he still needs to borrow the help of your Shangtun method." Speaking of this, he took a sip of the teacup and said leisurely, "The Shangtun that this king intends you to engage in is different from ordinary Shangtun, not just to help the army station. As he spoke, he recalled in his mind that when he followed Feng Sheng on an expedition to Liaodong in the past, he saw that many places in the northern provinces had fertile land, but they were withered, which was very different from the densely populated provinces south of the Yangtze River, with little land and more people. The land of Liaodong is fertile for thousands of miles, sparsely populated, and it is a serious waste to cultivate some food if it is not good to cultivate the wasteland. This king wants to speak to His Majesty the Emperor, and use Shangtun to drive the people of the southern prefectures and counties with many people and little land, and migrate to the northern provinces to reclaim the famine. ”
Shen Peng's heart couldn't help but sink when he heard this, the official tun implemented by His Majesty the Emperor today is the land returned to the people after reclamation, exempted from taxes for three years, and the government provides cattle seeds. Under such circumstances, many people in the south still refuse to leave their homes and cross the Yangtze River. The reason for this lies in the thousand-year-old habit of a homeland that is difficult to leave, and His Royal Highness King Ning's Shangtun can be said to be difficult, and it can be said that it is extremely tricky to think of this matter, but he still bowed his head slightly, and said categorically, "Many merchants and villains in the provinces also know a lot, and they are willing to do their best to help His Highness." After looking at Zhu Quan, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "If His Highness lets the villain take the business route again, there is still a difficulty. ”
When Zhu Quan heard this, he asked, "But what's the difficulty?" ”
Shen Peng sighed slightly and said, "The matter of the horse started in a hurry, in the past, there were many people who owed money that they had not had time to return, and there were also many people who owed money to villains. He couldn't help rubbing his hands, and his face was slightly embarrassed.
Zhu Quan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and scolded with a smile: "You go and collect the debt, and then come to pay the debt." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look at the bruises on Shen Peng's head and laughed, and secretly thought in his heart that Shen Peng, this kid, was lucky to be able to escape his life, and it was unknown that this shirt might be the only property he had at present.
Shen Peng said, "As the so-called people don't stand without trust, the villain can only go to collect debts with confidence while repaying his debts." ”
Zhu Quan couldn't help but bow his head, turned his head and asked Ma Sanbao, "How much silver is there in the house?" ”
"There are more than two thousand four hundred taels of silver." Ma Sanbao bowed slightly and replied, at the moment he is the housekeeper of Ning Wangfu, and he is naturally far clearer about this than Zhu Quan, who has no concept of money.
Zhu Quan smiled and said, "After solving the matter of your life, Sanbao will hand you two thousand taels of silver, and let you pay back a sum of silver first." Speaking of this, he looked at Shen Peng's lonely appearance, sighed and said in a deep voice, "When the time comes, let Sima Chao and Jing Jun go with you to collect debts." In his mind, when Shen Peng fled for his life, he was afraid that he would not have time to clean up such trivial things as IOUs and accounts, and at this time he had lost his former backer Ouyang Lun, but he was afraid that someone would not repay the debt, but it was difficult to say.
Shen Peng slowly shook his head and smiled, "Your Highness doesn't need to worry about this matter, it is only right to repay debts." This truth can be explained all over the world, if even such a trivial villain is unable to do it, how can he do His Highness's Shangtun? ”
