The Banzhou caravan that arrived at Chongqing Province totaled more than thirty people. It was said to be a caravan, but it didn't carry much goods, but everyone was well-equipped with swords, armor and weapons, more like a soldier. Except for the first two of the Banshu guests, who were covered in gray feather veils, the rest of the guests were dressed shortly. Although they are not tall, their eyes are fine and their muscles are bulging, and they look like practitioners. These people all have loyal tattoos on their right hands, and the long and short knives they carry are also well-made, although they are slightly damaged, they can hardly hide their glittering cold light, and they are reddish after drinking blood.

The boss who was in charge of receiving Qian had a little contact with him, and he saw that they were by no means market businessmen. There is no trace of the cunning and philistine of a merchant between their gestures - shrewdness in the words of the money boss, but there is a murderous atmosphere everywhere. Although they were no strangers to commercial trade, they were not good at bargaining, but kept inquiring about firearms. At this time, Boss Qian had vaguely guessed that they were not simple merchants, but might have been messengers sent by the Banzhou government to buy firearms, so he took them to the headquarters of the Thunderbolt Army on Hexin Island. For such a major matter as arms trading, Brother Xuan has to be in charge.

Boss Qian could tell that these people were not businessmen, how could Ouyang Xuan not see it? When a few men escorted two people in gray feather veils to the living room, Ouyang Xuan only glanced at them lightly, and knew that those men were soldiers who had been in battle for a long time, and the aura on their bodies could only be possessed by people who had crawled out of the pile of dead people. As for the two people wearing feather veils, although they were tightly wrapped up and down, they looked quite like women in terms of posture and pace, and they were still dressed neatly in the hot season of July, Ouyang Xuan was sure that there was no doubt that these two people must be women.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Xuan apologized to the visitor, and then went to the back hall. He went to change into formal clothes. It is said that under the guidance of Ouyang Xuan's demonstration, the dress and dress under the rule of the Thunderbolt Army are mainly practical, how convenient and how to come. For example, although these changes did not conform to the traditional Confucian concept, they saved trouble, effort and hygiene, and did not deliberately mobilize, and soon became widespread under the rule. Although Lu Dezhi and Yang Xiucai had a conflict in their hearts, they also held the mentality that Brother Xuan would definitely not be wrong to do this, and they also cut their hair short and changed their pants to wear.

When Xia Dagen informed Boss Qian that he would lead the guests from the state to visit, Ouyang Xuan, who was preparing chemical reagents, took off his protective leather equipment, put on a linen shortshirt and shorts, and rushed to the living room. He didn't expect that the guests from Banshu were women. It is said that in this hot summer, the trained Thunderbolt soldiers and the working people are all naked. The same is true for Ouyang Xuan and other high-ranking Thunderbolt Army leaders when they train and work, on the one hand, it is too hot, and on the other hand, it is to reduce the wear and tear of their clothes—at present, in order to ensure the food area, there is only a small amount of land to grow hemp cotton and mulberry trees.

In the meeting room, in addition to a middle-aged man and a person wearing a feather veil sitting in Banzhou, another feather yarn and the rest of the men were obviously entourage guards, standing quietly behind the two of them. Seeing that Ouyang Xuan changed his clothes and came out again, the two people with feather veils also slowly unveiled - sure enough, they were women. These two women were born very beautifully, and the woman sitting in the seat was even more beautiful, with a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and she was growing up in Ouyang Xuan's aesthetic point, which was too much like the school flower she had a crush on when she was in college - the same slender figure, the same bright eyes and bright teeth, and the same thin waist and breasts..... He was stunned for a while. To say that Ouyang Xuan has also seen a lot of beauties, with the development and growth of the Thunderbolt Army, many families in western Sichuan learned that they were not married, and they asked people to match, but they were all blocked back by him with "The Huns have not been destroyed, why should the family be".

Boss Qian, who was standing on the side, saw Ouyang Xuan's pig-like face, cleared his throat, pointed to the middle-aged man who was seated, and said, "This is still the ...... under the rule of Banzhou's pacification envoy." Ouyang Xuan came back from his daze, and he didn't hear Boss Qian's introduction clearly at all, he only knew that this man's name was Ran Zhong, and he was a steward in the Yang family's mansion. After introducing Ran Zhong, Boss Qian's words were stuck, so he had to look at Ran Zhong for help. After Banzhou came to Chongqing Mansion, it was Ran Zhong who was in charge of negotiations. Although Boss Qian knew that the woman with the feather yarn was the leader, since she arrived at Chongqing Mansion, she had not taken off her veil or spoken, and Qian Lao naturally did not know how to introduce it.

Seeing this, Ran Zhong hurriedly got up and said, "Lord Ouyang, this is still my eldest lady Yang Yan......." Without waiting for Ran Zhong to finish speaking, Yang Yan stood up and saluted Ouyang Xuan, and lightly opened his lips: "Lord Ouyang, my father was ordered by the imperial court to lead the army to kill the Tartars in Chongqing......." Yang Yan's voice was really a natural sound for Ouyang Xuan, and he was in a trance again when he heard it, which reminded him of the campus when he was in college, the green lawn, the long tree-lined path, and the lights of the library in the dead of night. Seeing this, Boss Qian only said that Ouyang Xuan was stunned, so he ended the topic in a few words and hurriedly ended the meeting.

Ouyang Xuan's mind was in a trance, although Yang Yan's words could be heard clearly, he only knew a rough idea of the content. Yang Yan's gist is that her father Yang Wen and uncle Yang Dasheng led an army to fight the Mongolian army in Chongqing, leaving her brother Yang Bangxian to guard the house, and the Mongolian general Wuliang Hatai drove the barbarians of Dali to repeatedly invade the boundaries of Banzhou. Regarding Yang Yan's request, Ouyang Xuan agreed without thinking, which made Boss Qian on the side stunned. You should know that although firearms are extremely profitable, the Thunderbolts are only sold to allies, and the Banju Yang clan has only just made commercial contacts with the Thunderbolts. In Boss Qian's opinion, even if he wants to sell firearms, he should hang the appetite of Bozhou and sell them at a good price.

It's just that Ouyang Xuan has already agreed, and he must not lose his word. In Boss Qian's opinion, there is still room for maneuver in this matter. Brother Xuan only agreed to sell firearms, but he did not decide what firearms to sell, whether to sell guns or not, how many they were, whether they were old or new, and there was a lot of attention to this. As long as Brother Xuan repents, as a businessman, Boss Qian has countless ways to make the deal impossible to reach, and Banzhou has nothing to say. For example, you can set the price extremely high, and at the end of the time, it is not that the Thunderbolt Army will not sell it, but that you can't afford it in Banzhou. There are also types of firearms, such as making artillery and muskets not for sale, and only selling disposable consumables such as grenades and mines.

In line with this line of thought, in the following days, Boss Qian took the Banzhou guests to Liuliba and Qianjiazhai, where only old-fashioned grenades and artillery could be produced, and the amount of stock in the warehouse was not much. At that time, there is nothing to say if the Banzhou side is not satisfied, after all, the Thunderbolt Army has shown you all the manufacturing plants and warehouses, and what is not satisfied. As for Yang Yan and Ran Zhong's proposal to buy muskets, new grenades, and artillery on the Thunderbolt warships used by the messenger team, they were rejected by Boss Qian, on the grounds that the Thunderbolt Army was not enough. There is no moisture in this reason.

After that gaffe, Ouyang Xuan introspected himself fiercely in his heart. It was not that he regretted agreeing to sell the firearms to Banshu, but that he blamed himself for not holding his mind steady. Those who have achieved great things since ancient times cannot be swayed by personal emotions, let alone have a long relationship with their children. Since he came to this world, he has aimed to expel the Mongol army from the Han land in order to save the people from fire and water. Therefore, although Yang Yan's voice and shadow still lingered in his mind, his heart slowly calmed down, and he once again examined the pros and cons of selling firearms to Banzhou.
