Zhu Yue saw that Qin Liu and Cui Shiwei both had solemn faces, and said lightly: "The advantage of the Mongolian army is that his cavalry is as fast as lightning, and the red-coated cannons are extremely cumbersome, and they are expensive to manufacture. Don't worry about it. ”

Cui Shiwei's eight-character beard trembled, frowned and said, "That's the case, we also have to be prepared, just in case." ”

"This is natural."

Cui Shiwei didn't say anything more, and stepped back first.

Zhu Yue shouted to him, and instructed with a serious face: "Mr. Cui, please rot in your stomach just now, Shopkeeper Liu is my person, I don't want to hear unfavorable rumors about her." ”

Cui Shiwei sighed slightly: "The prince has already instructed me, please rest assured." ”

Qin Liu looked at Zhu Yue worriedly, feeling that he had made a big mistake.

Zhu Yue's face was cloudy and uncertain for a moment before he came back to his senses, and joked with a smile: "The Mongolian Khan Court has ruled our Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, hasn't it accumulated a gunpowder formula?" Why do you have to take the blame on yourself? ”

Qin Liu shook his head: "I said this, and it is my duty to let the little dumb man ask for some miscanthus and sulfur." ”

Zhu Yue didn't dwell on this topic anymore, and simply said, "If you are not sleepy, you might as well come and try my tea-making skills." ”

In the second half of the night, why wasn't Qin Liu sleepy? It's just that this matter has not been resolved, and she is uneasy, but she still stays.

Zhu Yue boiled water, washed a cup and made tea. The special metal small tea stove, the delicate silver filigree charcoal, and the exquisite silver teacups and teapots all reflect the delicacy and taste of his life.

Qin Liu also had a set of exquisite outdoor tea-making equipment before crossing, but compared with Zhu Yue's equipment, it was still a little less delicate and elegant.

She couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself.

The two drank three cups of tea silently, and she still said goodbye.

……

When Qin Liu got up the next day, Xiao Tao held a box for her: "The eldest young master asked me to hand it over to you before leaving......

Zhu Yue is already gone?

Qin Liu collapsed on the bed weakly.

She felt like she had fallen into a catastrophe.

Qin Liu quickly got up and went out, angrily went to find the little mute, and Xiao Tao also followed her.

The little mute was practicing archery in front of the yurt, and when he saw her coming, he didn't react, and the archery action was sinister.

Qin Liu suddenly felt a little lacking in confidence. The little mute had shot her with an arrow.

She stammered, "Balsborot, you, what do you want so much manganese?" Do you want to fight Daming and slaughter Li Laohan and Dalang Erlang?! ”

The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and the words that followed took on a questioning tone.

The little mute's bow and arrow turned towards her.

Qin Liu was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

The little mute suddenly pointed the tip of the arrow upward, and the arrow was fired.

Qin Liu patted his chest lightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ahh

Qin Liu heard Xiao Tao behind him suddenly scream, and hurriedly looked back.

My Immortal Heaven!

An arrow was inserted into a pure gold distraction on Xiao Tao's bun, and the bun was scattered, and Xiao Tao was so frightened that she lost her face and sat down on the ground limply.

Qin Liu hurriedly stepped forward to appease Xiao Tao, pulled out the arrow on the distraction for her, and turned around to find the little mute theory.

As soon as she raised the arrow in front of the little mute, the little mute grabbed her wrist.

His strength was so great that Qin Liu's hand couldn't play it.

Qin Liu's face was bruised, and he glared at the little mute angrily: "I really misjudged you, you are really an executioner!" ”

The little mute's face was cold: "So, you Daming would rather not be able to trade than sell us manganese and sulfur?" ”

Qin Liu was stunned, he didn't expect such a result.

The corners of the little mute's lips hooked a little angry: "What is the relationship between you and Zhu Yue?" ”

Qin Liu did not lose momentum: "What does this have to do with you?" ”

The little mute let go of the hand that was holding Qin Liu's wrist, but he bent his bow and arrow, aiming at Xiao Tao, who was still sitting on the ground.

Qin Liu shouted, "Are you crazy?!" ”

Hurry to get in front of the little mute's bow and arrows.

The tip of the arrow was only inches from her chest, and as soon as the little mute let go, the arrow would stab her in the chest.

"If you want to slaughter the innocent civilians of Daming, kill me first!"

She and the little mute stared at each other coldly, then slowly closed their eyes.

Qin Liu heard the sound of footsteps leaving, and only then did he open his eyes again. The little mute had already turned away, and Xiao Tao, not far behind him, was crying.

Qin Liu didn't feel the aftermath of the catastrophe, but felt a little empty in his heart.

The unwillingness and anger in the eyes of the little mute, as well as the strong resentment, she could see it clearly.

In the following days, Cui Shiwei and Ah Heima had several more negotiations and consultations, and the two sides finally reached an agreement: tea and salt, cloth and Chinese medicinal herbs, grain in exchange for Mongolian horses, and some other miscellaneous items.

It's just that there is no miscanthus and sulfur in the Chinese medicinal materials, not a single tael.

Qin Liu often walked out of the yurt with Xiao Tao, and occasionally went to the Mongol camp in the north, but she never saw the little mute again.

The transaction plan is confirmed, and all that remains is the delivery of the item.

10,000 horses were to be transported to the Mengming border, and hundreds of thousands of catties of tea, salt, cloth, grain and other items were to be transported to the grassland, and the camp became more and more lively.

Arriving with the first herd of horses was Prince Urus, the second son of Dayan Khan.

Qin Liu, Old Man Lou and Cui Shiwei received Prince Urus as their counterparties, and the two sides held a sumptuous welcome feast.

Urus sat on the north side, with Ah Hei Ma sitting on the desk next to him, and a little Mongolian girl in a brocade robe sitting on the other side of the table.

Qin Liu and the others sat south and faced north, and frequently raised their glasses.

After three rounds of drinking, Urus said in a cheerful mood and with a little regret, "I don't know where Baals went. The most beautiful flowers of our Khan Court have all come, and we have not seen him come to greet them. ”

Ahimama said: "Prince Bals left suddenly, and I don't know where he went. His gaze turned to Qin Liu meaninglessly: "Maybe Shopkeeper Liu knows." ”

Qin Liu grinded the back molars. She realized that the consequences of washing the little mute's hair at the door of the yurt had become apparent.

Everyone thinks that her relationship with the little mute is not ordinary.

This is also to blame her, after coming to the grassland, especially after getting out of the danger of being eaten by wolves, she is too freewheeling.

The little Mongolian girl in the brocade robe looked at Qin Liu deeply a few times, which made Qin Liu's heart a little hairy.

Xiao Tao, who was pouring wine for Qin Liu on the side, said in her ear: "That young lady is hostile to you. ”

Qin Liu secretly smiled bitterly.

Since the last time she stopped the little mute's arrow, Xiao Tao suddenly became much more enthusiastic and active towards her, and she was a lot more sincere, but she looked like a master and servant.

Qin Liu's attitude towards Xiao Tao didn't matter.

Whether it is Old Man Lou, Little Dumb or Little Peach, it is only a short fate with her.

When we spend time together, she plays her role as well as possible.

Qin Liu asked Xiao Tao about her monthly silver in Xuanfu and other benefits, and said that he would provide her with the same treatment.

Xiao Tao shook her head: "The eldest young master said, my monthly silver will continue to be distributed in the mansion." ”
