Chapter 425 - Recruiting Force

When Li Zongxun was in a hurry in Shangtang, Feng Yun followed Pei Yi to watch the army drill in the camp of the Red Armor Army.

Pei Zhen came to patrol the camp, and Ao Qi and the soldiers of the Red Armor Army all intended to behave, but Pei Qi only briefly looked at a few formations and told them to rest.

There are some people who have just retired from the battlefield, and he is not willing to toss......

Hou Zhun watched it with relish, and there was still some unfinished.

At the beginning, I fought with the Beiyong Army for nearly a year, and when I got into close contact, I inevitably had more desire to snoop.

Pei Xian didn't hide his secrets, just like when he asked Wen Xingsu to visit the camp, he also told Hou Zhun everything.

Feng Yun watched from the sidelines, always feeling that this move was very unusual, and he couldn't find the root cause.

Does this King Pei really treat Hou Zhun as his own?

In front of Pei Zhen, she smiled and said: "Back to Huaxi, General Hou also painted a scoop for me with a gourd, and practiced the Meiling ......"

Hou Zhun laughed, "The princess doesn't dislike it, Hou should act according to orders." ”

He agreed very heartily, but Pei Zhen looked at it with burning eyes.

Feng Yun collided with his gaze in the air, and his eyebrows were raised inadvertently, "The king doesn't like it?" ”

Pei Yan said: "I don't interfere in your business." ”

Feng Yun smiled lightly.

This person is really duplicitous, and he said that he would not interfere, but the expression revealed clearly that he was not worried about her......

-

Sunset.

The carriage waited until sunset before rushing back to Huaxi.

Coming and going in a hurry, Feng Yun's whole person seemed to be shaken apart, and he was injured and very tired.

The servant girl prepared the water, and she was about to wash and rest, and Ren Rude took Jin Ge back to the village.

When encountering the robbers, Hou Zhun sent a small team to escort Ren Rude away first, and then scattered.

When we met again, Mr. Ren, who was originally elegant and elegant, had messy clothes, fluffy hair, and even a well-nourished beard on his chin seemed to be stained with dust and dust......

Feng Yun met him in the guest hall, avoided greetings and courtesies, and asked him directly.

"Why did Mr. Ren come back at this time? But where are the briquettes? ”

Ren Rude sighed and raised his sleeves in salute, his expression showing a stiffness that restrained his anger.

"Ren is against the trust of the princess. The briquettes were robbed and have not been found......"

The smile on Feng Yun's face converged at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She stared at Ren Rude.

I kept staring at him until I felt weak in my heart, and then I sighed.

"Mr. Ren was able to come back with all his beard and tail, and he didn't fall into the hands of bandits, he is very lucky, and he doesn't need to blame himself."

Losing such a large batch of briquettes, she can have this kind of bearing, which makes Ren Rude admired......

Not to mention women's families, even if they are men in the business field, they are not not upset when they encounter such bad things......

Feng Yun was able to calm down quickly and asked thoughtfully.

"Look at Mr. Ren's appearance...... Didn't get hurt, right? Do you want me to send someone to call Dr. Yao to take a look? ”

"It's okay." Ren Rude lowered his eyes and sighed.

"Ren almost couldn't come back this time. Fortunately, Jin Ge and others sacrificed their lives to protect each other, and Ren was not injured, but he fell on the way back, which was very embarrassing, which made the princess smile. ”

Feng Yun's gaze swept over Jin Ge who was standing behind him.

He was tied with shredded rags on his arm, and he looked like he was injured.

She remained silent, shook the teacup in her hand slightly, and asked:

"Mr. Ren knows where the mountain bandits come from?"

Ren Rude was on the road with this question, and he had thought about it repeatedly, and when he heard it, he said:

"According to what Ren saw, it has nothing to do with the Yecheng army that is disturbing Wenchang Palace?"

Feng Yun was waiting for him to say this.

Pretended to look at him in surprise for a moment, and then asked hesitantly: "Zheng Shoushan is Li Zongxun's henchman, and he has no reason to rob his own people." ”

"Humph!" Ren Rude sneered lightly, "When the thing didn't reach Zheng Shoushan's, it wasn't Zheng Shoushan's, but Nagato's ......."

Feng Yun looked realized, "But wouldn't that still offend Zheng Shoushan?" There was a bandit in the border of Chuzhou, and the goods purchased by the Jiedu envoy were robbed, and the people of Zheng Gong were also lost......"

Ren Rude sneered: "Princess, don't forget, this transaction is a secret way, and if you can't see anyone, Zheng Shoushan can't lose anyone." Besides, who knows if he and Li Zongxun colluded? ”

"Collusion?" Feng Yun was thoughtful.

Ren Rude said: "Li Zongxun robbed the goods, the princess was subject to receiving Zheng Shoushan's deposit, and she was very trustworthy, if Zheng Shoushan came to the door, wouldn't she need to replenish the goods?" One money to buy two batches of goods, it's really a good calculation......"

Probably because this fall was too hard, Ren Rude didn't have the slightest room to speak for Li Zongxun and Zheng Shoushan, he just gritted his teeth......

Feng Yun was silent and looked at him for a moment.

"If you want to be as Mr. Ren said, then don't blame me for turning my face and denying it."

Ren Rude choked.

For a while, his mouth was fast, and it became what he said.

This little lady is so good.

Looking at the inconspicuous mountains and water,

Actually, the trick is pressing.

Ren Rude eased his expression, "The above is Ren's conjecture, and I can't count it." We still have to wait for the truth to be clarified before we can make a conclusion. ”

Feng Yun hit the snake with the stick, suppressed his smile, and said with a serious face: "Then bother Mr. Ren to go to Chuzhou and ask Zheng Shoushan, the brother-in-law, the goods were lost in Chuzhou, can the thieves find it?" ”

After a pause, he reminded meaningfully.

"Mr. Ren has a life-saving grace for him, I think he won't cross the river and tear down the bridge, and trap Mr. Ren in injustice?"

Ren Rude felt his throat glued again, as if he was stuck.

Zheng Shoushan's line was put on by him, originally to please Feng Yun and get closer to her.

He is a Chinese person, using his own reputation, and now that something has happened, he is from Chuzhou, so he can't be found, who is he looking for?

Ren Rudri was not a human being, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and arched his hand: "That's exactly how it should be." I also asked the princess to give me some time to see how they explained. ”

-

When Zheng Shoushan of Chuzhou received Li Zongxun's statement that someone had cheated on the briquettes, his reaction was exactly the same as what Tang Shaogong said.

Fly into a rage.

Not at all.

There was no affection between him and Li Zongxun, let alone a solid trust, and it was all due to geographical relations and the mediation of Li Zongxun's cousin-in-law Ge Pei.

In essence, Zheng Shoushan's Chuzhou army is still a warlord.

Seeing the cold snap coming, the difficulty of resource shortage in Chuzhou has become increasingly prominent.

Before the Great Jin Dynasty was not divided into two, Chuzhou could exchange markets with various places, and it would not be cut off from the trade arteries by the Red Armor Army, and it had never been so stretched as this year.

Therefore, Ren Rude pulled this line for him, and he could get high-quality briquettes from Nagato, just like sending charcoal in the snow, he couldn't ask for it.

Zheng Shoushan did not agree with Li Zongxun's shameless "trick" at first, but because of his face, he did not explicitly oppose it, and only made a request, not to act on the territory of Chuzhou, and to do a vote, he had to be on the territory of Xijing......

Li Zongxun naturally agreed.

However, even if he sent a large army to harass the border, his men still did not find an opportunity to cross the Wenjing Palace and rob Nagato's goods.

In the end, he didn't do anything endlessly, and only did he do it after the goods were delivered to Chuzhou......

From here, Zheng Shoushan has been furious.

But thinking about it in hindsight, as long as the briquettes can be obtained and Chuzhou's urgent needs can be solved, it will be enough......

Who would believe briquette cheating?

"Old thief Li, what a ruthless plan."

Things have reached this point, there is no need for others to provoke them, Zheng Shoushan himself can burst out a lot of imagination.

"Chuzhou borders Wenchang, and he is guarding against me, afraid that I will take refuge in Xijing, so he will take the opportunity to make profits. It not only swallowed my briquettes, but also made me hold a grudge against Feng Twelve Niang, and cut off my way to Xijing......"

He snorted heavily.

"Perhaps, he will have to make a gesture of goodwill and take some of the briquettes I was robbed to appease ......"

Before Zheng Shoushan's voice fell, there was a report from his subordinates.

"The envoy of the festival degree, the prime minister sent two carts of briquettes, saying that they were the remaining ...... in the car"

This is a decision made by Li Zongxun after careful consideration.

The briquettes that Feng Yun used to act as a faΓ§ade were put together and could fit two cars.

In order to avoid suspicion between him and Zheng Shoushan, he didn't leave any of them, and sent them all to Chuzhou, with a letter attached, repeatedly explaining what happened, and then rarely got off the low pile.

"Brother doesn't need to be anxious, the old man will do his best to protect Chuzhou and not embarrass him. For the sake of today's plan, my brother should immediately find the Chinese person and ask Feng Twelve Niang to spit out all the briquettes eaten on the grounds that the deposit has been paid and has not been delivered......"

This is the first time to call each other brothers.

However, Zheng Shoushan didn't want to appreciate it.

At the sight of the two neatly stacked briquettes, he was furious, like a manic beast, slamming the table.

"Two cars, two cars sent me away? Is my Zheng Shoushan the one who asks for food called Hanako? What an old thief Li, he deceives people too much, is it really like those big families in Yecheng, who rub the circle and pinch it flat, and take it by skill? ”

On the fire, Zheng Shoushan lost his temper.

But he quickly calmed down, and felt that Li Zongxun's last sentence was right.

If you don't look for Feng Twelve Niang to get coal, what should you do this winter?

You can also use charcoal for heating, but what about the rest? Without graphite, the smelting of Chuzhou will be completely slackened, and his army will have no weapons to replenish, which will cause big problems......

Before Zheng Shoushan had time to find trouble with Feng Twelve Niang, his brother-in-law came to the door and cried.

"Brother-in-law, can you do it? Mr. Ren is the person who saved my life, and he intends to help us to thread the needle and solve the dilemma. Now it's okay, as soon as the goods arrived in Chuzhou, they flew away, and many people were injured. If my brother-in-law doesn't show an attitude, I won't be able to be a person anymore in the future, so I simply crashed to death on the wooden pillar in the front hall, and I did what I said......"

The brother-in-law was so angry that he almost rolled around with him......

When his wife learned what was going on, she cried and cried again.

Zheng Shoushan almost collapsed, gritting his teeth.

"Pen and ink waiting." (End of chapter)
