Shi Qingzhu said: "I can tell you the price, it is 300,000 taels of silver, Wan Yanlei must have brought a silver ticket into the customs, since he lived with you before he was killed, you only need to go through the luggage he brought, you must be able to find it."

Zhuo Tuoerhan stared at Shi Qingzhu's eyes on the veil, and said after a while: "After Yan Lei disappeared, I have asked someone to search for his luggage, and I have indeed found 300,000 taels of silver tickets. However, this money is not a small amount, and with just a few empty words from you, how can the owner of this banner know your identity for sure, and whether the things you want to trade are true or false, I have no way of judging. ”

Shi Qingzhu said: "Does the Zhuotuo Banner Master know what the object of this transaction is?"

Zhuo Tuo Erhan said: "I know a little bit about it. ”

Shi Qingzhu said: "What is it?"

Drothan's eyes flashed, and he turned to Huruba and said, "You go outside the tent to take a look, and you are not allowed to wait for idle people to come near this place." ”

Huruba said yes and strode out.

When Huruba came out of the tent, Zhuo Tuoerhan still did not answer, but asked Shi Qingzhu, "Then what do you say?"

Shi Qingzhu said with a smile: "I heard that the Jurchen people are all as bold as bears, but now it seems that they are just lying words, and they are so timid to make a deal! If it weren't for this other reason, this seat would not have bothered to come here to talk to you about this deal, and you Jurchens would not be able to get hold of the armament map of the Daming Ningjin defense line." ”

Hearing the words "Ningjin Defense Line's armament map", Zhuo Tuoerhan's eyes immediately began to shine, but then immediately returned to normal, obviously trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you really have this map?"

Shi Qingzhu said: "This seat came to this livestock shop, is it to joke with you?"

"But I don't know where your identity comes from, so how do I know if your picture is fake?"

Shi Qingzhu said: "You don't know the origin of this seat, this time I traded with you Jurchens, and there was a token of Haode, but Wanyan Lei is dead, and it is useless for me to take it out." However, when the deal was negotiated, your Marshal Namuthai in Shengjing had a secret letter to deliver, and I kept one in my hand, and you can probably recognize his handwriting. ”

With a wave of her sleeves, she tossed a letter with an apricot cover on the table.

Drotharhan reached out and took it, glanced at the cover, then took out the letterhead from it, unfolded it and looked at it carefully in the light, and after looking at it for a while, the Black Wind Banner Master's hand holding the paper could not help but tremble slightly.

This piece of paper is a secret letter written by Namutai, the generalissimo of the Manchu Eight Banners Army, how could Zhuo Tuoerhan not know it, and he also knows very well that the importance of this transaction is not only related to Namutai, but also Taizu Bixia, which is also very important.

Now Huang Taiji has just ascended the throne in Shengjing for a long time, and his title is "Emperor Kuanwen Rensheng", but the Liao border outside the pass is a drought for many years, and he wants to rely on the information on the armament map to send troops to attack the Ningjin defense line of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also good to enter the pass to burn and loot a lot, so as to alleviate the urgent need for food shortage.

If this deal is completed, Zhuo Tuo Erhan will undoubtedly make a great contribution, and he will definitely be appreciated and prosperous, and he will no longer have to stay in this remote Hu Man City in the future!

"What, is this letter in Marshal Namutai's handwriting?" Shi Qingzhu asked.

"No, no," said Zrotharhan, "can you bring the map you mentioned, if it is convenient, we can trade it now!"

Unable to be sure of the identities of the two people in front of him before, he was cautious and cautious in his words, and at this time, after seeing Namutai's secret letter, the doubts in the heart of the Black Wind Banner Lord were gone, and he was a little impatient for the transaction, and he just wanted to get the armament map in his hands immediately, send it to Shengjing and hand it over to the emperor, so that he could invite merit and receive a reward.

Shi Qingzhu was not in a hurry at all, and said slowly: "That picture, I didn't bring it with me today, if the Zhuotuo Banner Master wants to trade, he has to promise to do something for me." ”

"Do you do one thing?"

Shi Qingzhu shook his head and said, "No." The previous conditions were only 300,000 taels of silver tickets in exchange for the defense map, but this matter is very important to this seat, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have found you, the black cattle shop, to make this deal with you. ”

Zhuo Tuo Erhan's face sank, and he said, "Since it is not in the conditions that have been discussed, Miss Shi temporarily proposed this matter, but do you want to violate the original agreement?"

This Black Wind Banner Lord is the owner of the largest Niumafang City in Hu Man City, and of course he is very shrewd in making transactions, and he will not give in easily, and then agree to other conditions.

Shi Qingzhu looked at Zhuo Tuoerhan with a pair of beautiful eyes, suddenly smiled, and said: "According to the original agreement, you Jurchens must contact us in a special way, and only after both parties have shown the tokens can they trade. ”

Zhuo Tuo Erhan said: "The token and contact method are only known to Wanyan Lei, and you are not ignorant that he has been killed." Now that you've found it, why bother with the details?"

Shi Qingzhu said: "Although this is the case, but since Wanyan Lei is dead, you can report to Shengjing and let Namutai send another envoy to Humanzhai, this seat doesn't care about waiting for some more time to complete the transaction." The difference between gains and losses in this lies only in you, the master of the Zhuotuo Banner!"

If the death report of Wanyan Lei is reported, not to mention whether Marshal Namutai pursues the murder of his nephew, it is Sheng Jing who sent someone to trade again, and it doesn't matter if Shi Qingzhu gets 300,000 taels of silver a few days later, but a great achievement that Zhuo Tuoerhan can get in his hands is ironclad.

Drotorhan took a long breath and said, "Okay, if you say that you want me to do something, if this flag is within its ability, I will do it." ”

Shi Qingzhu said with a smile: "That's right, this matter is not difficult for the master of Zhuotuo Banner." This seat wants you to use all the liliang of the 'Black Wind Banner' to search for the whereabouts of three people, one of whom is bound to be captured alive, and the other two are destined to live and die. ”

Zhuo Tuo Erhan said: "Who are those three people? The men and horses under this banner can only operate in the area of Hu Man City, do you know that they have come here?"

Shi Qingzhu said: "You don't have to ask who they are, I will tell you all their appearance and characteristics in detail, so that your subordinates can help the people search for them." They left Beijing City three days ago and headed east, and it is believed that most of them have now reached the territory of Hu Man City. ”

Drotharhan's fingers twitched at the abacus, and after a moment he said, "Okay, as long as they enter this city, this banner can guarantee that they will be able to find and catch them." ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Zhu Huichan has been staying at the Deyuan Inn for three days.

The princess Chitose felt that she had lived sixteen years in this world, as if she had never been so happy as in these three days. Mortals always feel the most precious things that they have always been difficult to get, and Zhu Huichan has been clothed and fed since she was born, and she has never lacked the glory and wealth pursued by others, and the only thing she has not been able to get is freedom.

Of course, in addition to freedom, her good mood also has something to do with Li Hu by her side.

In the past three days, Zhu Huichan has almost traveled to all the streets and markets in Human City, and has also visited many markets. This is also because there are no other places to visit in Human City, and the various markets are the only places to visit.

Zhu Huichan bought a lot of things in the past two days, from clothes and jewelry, to animal skin blankets, all kinds of utensils, in a weapon workshop opened by the Hu people, but also bought more than 20 weapons, including the scimitars of the Hui people in the Western Regions, the bows and arrows of the Mongols, and the swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, etc., which are used by the people in the rivers and lakes of Middle Earth.

As for picking weapons, Zhu Huichan can be said to have no experience at all, and the selected ones are all good-looking, but not very good quality. The Hu people's iron-smelting skills are not as good as those in Middle Earth, and there will be no real high-grade weapons for sale in these markets, and Zhu Huichan doesn't know it, so naturally she doesn't care.

These many weapons alone weighed hundreds of catties, plus the other items bought by Zhu Huichan, Li Hu alone could not move them, so he had to hire a big car to transport all the things back to the Deyuan Inn.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong has been by his sister's side for the past three days, and now he is no longer afraid of Li Hu, although he is not as happy as Zhu Huichan all day long, but he also has a lot of fun.

As happy as they were, there were also the shopkeeper of the inn and Xiao Er.

Although the conditions of the Deyuan Inn are not bad, but there have always been few guests, it is extremely deserted, and the three of Li Hu and his party are the only group of tenants in the inn now. This is because the room price of Deyuan Inn is twice as expensive as other inns in the city, and the shopkeeper Duan Wu looks fierce and has a poor attitude, so there are really not many wrongdoers who will live in.

But now the rooms in the inn are full, to be precise, they are all full of all kinds of things that Zhu Huichan bought from the city. Today, the three-story wooden building in the backyard, the upper room, the middle room, the general shop, and more than 20 large and small suites have all become the place where the princess Chitose stores her things.

Originally, there was a large warehouse in the ground of the Deyuan Inn, and renting it to store goods could save a lot of money, but Zhu Huichan was unwilling. These things were treasures that she had bought with great difficulty, and how could they be put under the wet and dirty ground, and they had to be kept in the guest room! As for spending money, how could it be on the list of issues in her mind?

In the past few days, Li Hu has spent more than 8,000 taels of silver to buy things in the market and pay the store money, fortunately, he has brought enough silver tickets, and the jewelry collected from Zhu Huichan and Zhu Cihong is also extremely valuable, worth a lot of silver, so it can still be supported.
