Chapter 21: Trading Begins

Wuzhou is located on the edge of Poyang Lake, and at this time, in the Thorn Mansion, Xiao Xuan, the Thorn of Wuzhou, is frowning.

Xiao Yan, who came on horseback, arrived as soon as possible.

"What's wrong?"

"Uncle, come and see, this is a letter from Uncle Chen just sent."

Xiao Yan's face was full of sadness after reading the letter: "Chen Shujian is ruthless and unscrupulous, why did he inexplicably and cleverly say that he wanted to counterattack Xiliang at this time?" Now that the relationship between the north and the south is stable, the Sui Dynasty has the power to break the Turks, and His Majesty doesn't want to cause more trouble, why did he suddenly say that he wanted to counterattack Xiliang, something was wrong, absolutely wrong. ”

Xiao Zhen naturally knew that the other party could not kindly say that he would help them attack Xiliang, after all, after defecting to Nan Chen, their uncle and nephew felt that Chen Shujian was ruthless, and finally took refuge in Chen Shubao, Chen Shujian should hate them.

If it is said that Chen Shujian does not hold a grudge, then the two of them don't believe it when they say it.

"Uncle, what kind of medicine does this Uncle Chen sell in the gourd? Could it be that they are trying to attack us with the Western Liang army? ”

"This person is the most ruthless person I have ever met, but you said that it is impossible to unite the Xiliang army, even if he wants to do this, but your father is not a fool, it is impossible to join forces with him."

Xiao Yan fell into deep thought: "How can we do it now?" ”

"The reply said that we have not received an order from His Majesty, and we cannot use troops without authorization."

"Okay, let's go back like this."

The uncle and nephew replied to Chen Shujian, Chen Shujian sneered and said: "I don't plan to use my old bottom in Xiliang, be careful enough, but things can be done without you, I will collect the news myself, and when I get the musket, I will clean you up, two white-eyed wolves." ”

……

After a little and a half months, Chen Shujian relied on the news he got that the King of Jin in the Great Sui in Western Liang was in full swing with the prince of Western Liang to carry out various reforms, and even created a money village to lend money.

Chen Shujian looked at the news that his subordinates had brought over, and sneered: "This King Jin of the Sui Dynasty is really a guy who doesn't know what to do, building a road to make such a big move, I don't know that I think he wants to repair the palace, Emperor Liang seems to be old, let them mess around." ”

Liu Tongyou trotted in: "Your Highness, Your Highness, there is news, tomorrow night deal, that kid said that he can get all three hundred muskets." ”

"Hahahaha, God help me, did that kid named Li Feng send someone to find out about him?"

"A nobody, no news at all."

They sent Xiliang's spies to investigate, but Xiliang was very careful in this matter, and Li Feng had already hidden it, so they couldn't find any useful information.

"Okay, trade tomorrow, we'll rush to the trading location now."

Chen Shujian immediately ordered five hundred elite soldiers to set off together, and it was difficult for Sima Xiao to arrive in person for such a big matter.

The next day, before dark, Chen Shujian stood on the edge of the Yangtze River and looked at the other bank, rode a horse with Sima Xiao, and asked: "Dudu, why do you say that this Emperor of Xiliang is willing to live under others?" In the former Northern Zhou Dynasty and now the Northern Sui Dynasty, the emperors of the imperial court have changed, why is he still a dog for others? I've seen a lot of loyal dogs, how can there be one who is loyal to two owners? ”

Sima replied: "Lord Liang is short-minded, shallow, difficult to take on big responsibilities, when Yang Jian was on the throne, such a good opportunity did not come to fruition, this person has no ambition, perhaps this is the reason why the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty chose him to be the emperor of Western Liang." ”

"The lord of Xiliang in the name of the emperor lives so much, it's really unbearable for ordinary people to say, what fun do you say he lives? In my place, I'd rather not be this fake emperor. ”

"Therefore, His Royal Highness has a long ambition, and Lord Liang has a short ambition, and it has been good for a long time for thousands of years."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Sima Duwei to have such insight."

In the middle of the night, the moon is shrouded in layers of black clouds, and the scattered starlight makes it difficult to see the outlines of some mountain peaks.

At this time, the cabin was still brightly lit, and today Sima Xiaonan and Chen Shujian both boarded the ship and waited for the arrival of the muskets.

A small boat rowed over slowly, and several large boxes seemed to be pressing the boat to the point that it was almost impossible to move, so Lao Lu and Li Feng barely supported the boat to the side of the big boat, put down the rope and pulled up a few large boxes.

Before Li Feng could get on the boat, Liu Tongyou opened the box very excitedly, and it was full of muskets, which gave him excited to rub his hands.

picked up one of the guns, looked up and down, and lit the fire rope according to Li Feng's previous method.

bang

A musket rang out, and Chen Shujian and Sima Xiaonan in the cabin were startled by this movement, and they couldn't suppress their curiosity and walked out.

Li Feng got on the boat and said, "General Liu, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to touch my things before you pay." ”

Liu Tongyou smiled and put the musket back.

At this time, Li Feng noticed Chen Shujian and Sima Xiaonan, who were dressed differently from others, he had seen the portrait of Sima Xiao, although the portrait of this era was more abstract, but he still guessed that the person in front of him was Sima Xiaonan.

Sima Xiaonan and Chen Shujian touched the muskets in these boxes, and let Liu Tongyou try it again, marveling at its powerful power.

Liu Tongyou looked at the musket and said with satisfaction: "The little brother has the ability, so he stole it all." ”

"They'll find out early tomorrow morning."

"Hahaha, what about finding out, little brother, you don't know where to run with the money, and you're still afraid of being discovered?"

Liu Tongyou counted the number of muskets and said: "Yes, there are only a hundred guns here, which doesn't match the number of guns you sent to me, it's not good for the little brother to deceive people." ”

Li Feng immediately said: "The boat can't carry so many guns, I'll bring them in batches, but you have to give me the money for these guns first." ”

"Little brother's hand is amazing, is it so cautious that you can't trust me? Come on, take it. ”

Liu Tongyou didn't plan to give money, but at this time, he seized an opportunity to let people take down Li Feng, Li Feng naturally couldn't be arrested, and then picked up a musket and pointed it at Chen Shujian and said: "Don't move, otherwise I will kill him with one shot." ”

Chen Shujian didn't panic but asked: "Little brother, you from Liu Tongyou, what are you pointing at me?" ”

"As far as you are the richest in clothes, I don't beat you to anyone."

Chen Shujian laughed: "Hahahaha, interesting, interesting, Liu Tongyou, you see that this little brother is smarter than you, doing business is to pay attention to the rules, you have to give people money, and a hundred muskets are not enough, I still want the back." ”

Seeing Chen Shujian speak like this, Li Feng arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry for this gentleman, I was also helpless in a hurry." ”

Liu Tongyou snorted coldly: "Hmph, you dare to threaten the King of Changsha, you kid is really dead." ”

King of Changsha!

Li Feng's heart was shocked, he originally wanted to catch shrimp this time, why did he suddenly burst out of such a big fish?

Double happiness is coming, and joy falls from the sky.

"I don't know it's the king of Changsha, and I hope the king of Changsha will forgive my sins."

Chen Shujian walked to Li Feng's side and patted him on the shoulder: "You are a good boy, brave and resourceful, and greedy enough, I like it, take out the money." ”

Boxes of white silver were brought up.

"King Qian Ben is ready, you go and get the gun."

"His Royal Highness the King of Changsha, one yard to one yard, I have to transport the money for this batch of guns first, and when it lands, I will transport the next batch over."

"Okay, Liu Tongyou ordered someone to carry the silver to him on the ship."

When they were about to move, Li Feng and Liu Tongyou looked around, the boatman Lao Lu was gone, and Liu Tongyou asked, "Where is Lao Lu?" ”

"General, when the saber was tense just now, I saw Lao Lu jump into the river and run away directly in the dark."

At this time, including Li Feng, everyone was stunned, this plot is not within the scope of the setting, Lao Lu is really a greedy person who is afraid of death, and when he sees that the situation is not good, he will slip away, this is the Yangtze River, and he will jump when he says it.

Sima Xiao asked in difficulty: "Can you get it back?" ”

Liu Tongyou said with a wry smile: "Lao Lu has a very good water nature, he is familiar with the Yangtze River, and he should be able to live." ”

"So what now, no one drives a boat."
