Chapter Ninety-Six: The Theft of the Tiger Talisman
The man who looked like a wealthy businessman stood up when he heard this, arched his hand to everyone, and then said with a smile: "A few of you here are still a little faceless, let me introduce myself first." He Yu is a businessman covered in the smell of copper. There is a purpose in doing business - whatever the guests need, I have. Whether it's a rare treasure or a rare medicinal herb, as long as you name it, I can get it for you. Of course, if you can afford it......"
"Okay, Shopkeeper He, knowing that you have a wide range of businesses and many channels, and we have what we need, we must only look for you He Yu, Shopkeeper. The beautiful woman interrupted him with a chuckle, got up and added him a cup of hot tea, "Go back to the 'spring breeze', and I'll let the red note dance for you." Don't be a mother-in-law now, let's get straight to the point!"
Her movements are graceful, her voice is soft and soft, and she sounds extremely comfortable. The rest of them were all smiling, and no one expressed the slightest dissatisfaction.
Ni Pengfei muttered in his heart when he saw it, sure enough, beautiful women can always be more tolerant. He also used to play with Miss Tang at the family banquet, but Miss Tang was safe and sound, but he was beaten by his father all over the ground looking for teeth. He has always been obsessed with this.
"Shopkeeper Qiu has the final say!" He Yule smiled, and sure enough, he didn't continue to be verbose, but changed his words, "Thanks to the big guys, I have also investigated the news of all parties for all my fellow rivers and lakes over the years." Speaking of this, he took out a small small black box made exquisitely made from his arms, held it and said with an unfathomable expression: "This time I came back from the Black Sand Country, and I brought this back. Don't look at its black and inconspicuous, the contents inside are priceless treasures. β
The woman who was called the shopkeeper of Qiu threw a wink at him, but this time she didn't interrupt.
I only heard He Yu continue: "Everyone's time is precious, so I'll make a long story short." A few days ago, when I was trading in the Black Sand Country, I heard them talk about a big case that had been in a big uproar recently. Curious, I used some connections to inquire. It's a great inquiry......"
Ni Pengfei listened while secretly observing everyone. This observation led him to an extremely interesting phenomenon. The woman known as the shopkeeper of Qiu, her lips moved slightly, as if she was talking to someone. But he searched the room, but he didn't find who the other was. Moreover, the handsome man seemed to be looking at him, and when he saw him, he nodded meaningfully to him.
This made Ni Pengfei a little confused, and he really didn't remember that he knew him. As a result, I was stunned and missed a large part of the news.
β...... Now Marshal Li Yuansheng is under house arrest in his mansion, and his son was sent to the southern land of smoke and miasma to guard, ostensibly to guard against the rebellion of the Lihuo Sect, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that this Lihuo Sect has never asked about the world, and the rebellion is clearly a disguised seizure of the Li family's military power. According to the information I inquired, the reason why Marshal Li, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, ended up like this was all because of the loss of the relationship with the tiger talisman. β
"Tiger Talisman? You mean the Tiger Talisman that can mobilize the Tiger Wing Army?"
Boss Qiu lightly covered Sakura's lips, looking incredulous. She is also apparently well-informed, and has a deep understanding of the military system of the Black Sand Nation.
Li Yuansheng was in charge of the most elite and largest Tiger Wing Army of the Black Sand Kingdom, and won the trust of the Emperor of the Black Sand Kingdom. Even in recent years, it has been rumored that Li Yuansheng is suspected of being a meritorious master, but the emperor still trusts him, and even pointed out his beloved daughter Princess Shuihua to his grandson.
Ni Pengfei was shocked when he heard this, such a big thing happened, and Jin Wuwei didn't have any news back.
It stands to reason that those people could not have been unaware of the importance of this 'Tiger Talisman Theft Case'. I don't know if they don't want to send it back, or if they can't pass it back, or if it's just a fork in the way. Either case, for Jin Wuwei, who claimed to be the No. 1 intelligence news network of Daqin, it was an unforgivable dereliction of duty.
He was going to report back to his superiors when he got back. Jin Wuwei has really become more and more slack over the years, all of them are mercenary, corpse vegetarian people, not to mention suppressing the 'green sparrow', even these rivers and lakes are inferior.
"Exactly!" He Yu nodded, his face suddenly became grim, "I also found out that the Black Sand Kingdom has formed an alliance with our Great Qin on the surface, but in fact, it has already reached an agreement with Gucang in the southwest, Xiliang in the west, and Wuhuan in the northwest, intending to take advantage of the critical juncture of our Great Qin and Tatar in the battle in Mobei, and unite to send troops to raid Great Qin......" Speaking of this, he didn't know what to remember, and suddenly turned his head to look at Ni Pengfei," This second son Ni is a member of the imperial court, and he must know better than us about the recent war in Mobei. At the moment of national crisis, I also asked the second son of Ni to take the common people in the world as the most important thing and inform one or two. β
Seeing that everyone's eyes suddenly turned to him, Ni Pengfei couldn't help but be startled, but because he had been advised by Ni Pengcheng before, so that he could properly disclose some less important information, he didn't intend to refuse.
He nodded and said, "Since the beginning of the war, Mobei has indeed restrained most of our Great Qin's forces in recent years, which has directly led to a great reduction in Great Qin's deterrent power against several other countries, which is probably the main reason why they dare to form an alliance secretly." Judging from the information received so far, the recent war in Mobei is indeed very unoptimistic. However, the ministers of the court are already actively discussing countermeasures, and the Great Qin has been established for a hundred years and has a strong foundation, so everyone does not need to worry too much. Although Xiliang has often organized some small-scale harassment in the past two years, they are also facing the eyes of the big branches. For them, the jackal-like Great Branch is their henchman, and it should not pose much of a threat to Great Qin. As for Gucang, we also received information only a few days ago, and they are secretly mobilizing troops and horses. However, let's not forget that Gucang is a bitter cold land, and according to the past practice, as long as they are promised heavy benefits, it is not difficult to let them retreat. And the Black Sand country ...... To tell you the truth, although we have sent someone to break into their interior, the news has not yet come back. Therefore, I have to ask the shopkeeper He to explain a thing or two. β
Ni Pengfei said these words lightly, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. Because he really didn't know if the things he just said were the 'not very important information' that the eldest brother said.
He Yu glanced at him, laughed twice, didn't say anything, coughed lightly and continued: "The source of this incident is said to be that several mysterious masters sneaked into Li Yuansheng's mansion late at night and stole the box containing the tiger talisman. Just when they quietly retreated, they didn't expect to be discovered by Li Yuansheng's grandson, who had returned from alcoholism, and the two sides immediately fought. In the end, the mysterious master only took the box with him, but lost the key to unlocking the lock. At the same time, Li Yuansheng received an order to enter the palace to face the saint. Who knew that it was the imperial concubine who faked the holy decree and directly sent Li Yuansheng, who lost the tiger talisman, into the prison. Although within a few days, he was rescued by his protΓ©gΓ© in a joint letter, but after this loss of the tiger talisman, Li Yuansheng's prestige plummeted, and he was no longer the Marshal of the Tiger Wing Army who leaned towards the government and the opposition. Now the Black Sand Kingdom is in power, and it is the imperial concubine. Although this woman is quite skillful, her mind should not be here in our Great Qin for the time being. Consolidating the power in her hands, and eradicating the prince left by the former empress, that is, the first heir to the throne of the Black Sand Country, is her top priority now. Therefore, the Black Sand country is not a problem for the time being. However, it should not be taken lightly. I also hope that Ni Ergongzi can bring these words. β
