But if he could keep his wife and children, it was the last thing he could do.
Yan Yongzhang took a deep breath and raised his hand: "No courtesy."
Sitting in his official position, Yan Yongzhang ordered: "From today on, Tang Qin and Shen Yu will be my right-hand men. If anything happens, tell them directly and they will tell me."
"Yes!" everyone in the lobby replied.
After the affairs of the Yamen were arranged, Wen Qingzhu followed Shen Yu out and began to redraw the map around Yunzhou.
Not long after we left the city, someone from Dingyuan sent a letter.
Wen Qingzhu's face darkened slightly when he saw it.
Why are the Huns active in Shuangfeng Mountain again
Judging from the current situation, the Huns should not provoke the Fu Jiajun head-on at will.
"You go back and continue to inquire, and at the same time ask the regent to see if there is anything unusual about him?"
After Wen Qingzhu finished speaking, he followed Shen Yu to continue observing the terrain.
The two people had not gone far on horseback when Shen Yu asked: "Isn't the Great Wall being built over at Shuangfeng Mountain? And the elite soldiers of the Fu Family Army were sent there to guard it. The Huns shouldn't be able to hit the stone with eggs, right?"
Wen Qingzhu grabbed the reins, his face full of worry: "Whether or not you want to fight with an egg against a stone cannot be judged by the strength of both parties. As long as the benefits are big enough, it doesn't matter if you try it out. If there is a chance, you will make a lot of money!"
After listening to her words, Shen Yu thought for a long time without thinking: "The side of Shuangfeng Mountain used to be a smuggling channel for Xiongnu merchants and Qi merchants. Now that there is a war between the two countries, what benefits will there be there?" ?β
Wen Qingzhu suddenly stopped his horse and turned to meet Shen Yu's gaze: "Your Shen family has been doing business for generations. According to what I know, it should have been in the previous dynasty. Do you remember? The princess of the previous dynasty married the Huns. He brought a lot of treasures with him.β
"I heard a little about it, but according to what I know, they didn't bring many things, because they still started fighting later."
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said nothing. He pointed to the front and continued moving forward without saying much.
Shen Yu felt strange that Wen Qingzhu would not mention something without reason.
Unless there might really be some treasure on the other side of Shuangfeng Mountain worth the Xiongnu's risk.
Before sunset, Dingyuan personally delivered the letter.
The people who came were the soldiers around Fu Lie.
Wen Qingzhu read the letter, destroyed it, and rushed back to the inn.
The letter stated that the Hun general who was following Shuangfeng Mountain this time was General Zuolun who was with Bo Dong.
Based on Wen Qingzhu's understanding of Bo Dong, he would never take the initiative to go to the front line to test things.
Now that his people are there, there is only one possibility.
King Zuo Xian may have sent him there.
That means that Li Geng was either killed or captured. In short, he was completely defeated by Zita.
Back in the room, Wen Qingzhu asked Jasmine to find the map she had drawn in the Huns.
Spread out on the table, it stretches from Yonghe Pass to Amos, and from Amos to Tianying City. Wen Qingzhu personally walked there.
She drew solid lines on the maps of these places.
On the other side, she learned about the area from Tianying City to the White Wolf Tribe through Lei Shuo, and drew it with gray lines.
Finally, there are two places, Asang Tribe and Leading to the Western Region, which Wen Qingzhu and Lei Shuo have not set foot in. They are recorded on maps over the years.
Wen Qingzhu is marked with a dotted line and belongs to an uncertain dangerous zone.
After reading these Xiongnu territory, Wen Qingzhu sat down slumped.
The grassland is completely different from Qi State. It is an endless plain area.
There are occasional hills and hills, but they are also very limited, making it impossible to carry out large-scale ambushes.
Wen Qingzhu was suddenly glad that her previous choice of infiltration and estrangement was actually the most effective method besides direct attack.
While analyzing the Huns' movements, Yang Liu came back.
He came back with someone.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and saw that this man was wearing a black hood, his hands and feet were tied, and he was carried in by Yang Liu's subordinates.
"This is?"
Yang Liu ordered his people to put this man down, and at the same time ordered the others to get down.
After the door closed, Yang Liu walked up and took off the hood on his head, revealing a familiar face.
"My lord, he said he knew you."
Wen Qingzhu blinked and looked at the man whose eyes were full of excitement. If he hadn't been gagged, he might have cried out in excitement.
"I do know him. Let him go."
Yang Liu took the order and untied the man.
The person who came was none other than Niu Zhang from before. I heard from him that he was the leader of the Qing Gang.
Niu Zhang got free and immediately lay down at Wen Qingzhu's feet: "Sir! I'm willing to kill Gan Nao! Please accept us!"
Wen Qingzhu did not answer his words, but asked: "Where is Mingliang? Why did you leave the Medicine God Valley?"
Niu Zhang raised his head and asked strangely: "I sent people in, but they were kicked out. If it hadn't been for Mr. Xie Feichen, we might have been hung in there, and our lives would have been risked!"
"Oh? Kicked out?" Wen Qingzhu was very surprised. Yaoshen Valley didn't know how to choose the dishes.
Facing her scrutiny, Niu Zhang became a little embarrassed: "That's right, we weren't kicked out as soon as we entered. Instead, we offended Miss Xue and let someone in who shouldn't have been let in."
"Who did you let in?" Wen Qingzhu stared slightly.
Niu Zhang racked his brains to think back: "It seems to be Pei, what is Pei... Pei, Pei Yi! By the way, it's Pei Yi!"
As soon as he raised his head, he met Wen Qingzhu's cold gaze, which made Niu Zhang shrink back in fear and not dare to breathe at all.
After being silent for a long time, Wen Qingzhu said calmly: "I don't care about your IQ, and you can't deal with Pei Yi. It's an honor to be deceived by him."
Niu Zhang thought this sounded sarcastic, but why did he feel like he was praising himself
The atmosphere in the room was wrong, and Niu Zhang dared to speak casually.
But he met such a noble person as Wen Qingzhu after a stroke of luck, so how could he leave so easily
Yang Liu naturally noticed his purpose, so he asked: "What do you plan to do, sir?"
Wen Qingzhu thought about it and said, "Didn't I say that there are a group of extremely fierce bandits in the mountains outside Yunzhou and Dezhou?"
Niu Zhang felt bad, and the next second Wen Qingzhu's words came out: "Since he has come to find him, the government and you have things to do, so let them get away with it."
"My lord, my lord, how can this be a gangster attack? We, the Qing Gang, were defeated by them in the first place! How could we possibly defeat them!"
Niu Zhang subconsciously refused, not wanting to meet those people at all.
Seeing how scared he was, Wen Qingzhu was not in a hurry: "Well, according to the law, your Qing Gang is not a gang recognized by the government, let alone a martial arts sect that travels around the world and has no regard for worldly affairs, so we can only arrest you to build the Great Wall. "
"No, no, no! It's not okay for us to go!" When Niu Zhang thought of the people under his command, it was okay to ask them to fight and kill them, but he didn't even think about doing coolies.
Wen Qingzhu turned to Jasmine and said, "Take them down and go to the Yamen to settle accounts. When they come back, they will be given weapons, food and clothing according to the militia."
She turned to Yang Liu and said: "In the next three days, you will work hard and lead them to show them the consequences of disobeying the command, and then send them to patrol the mountains."
"Yes." Yang Liu glanced at Niu Zhang.
I saw him get up immediately and run after him.
Near midnight, news came from the South City Gate that Tao Wanwan escaped as planned and rushed to Dezhou.
Wen Qingzhu smiled slightly and then crossed out something on the booklet.
It seems that Tao Wanwan is still very easy to control.
On the way out of Yunzhou City.
In a carriage, Tao Wanwan held his various land deed banknotes and gasped for air.
The old servant sitting next to him looked very solemn.
After leaving for a while, the old servant said: "Master, something feels wrong. How could we escape so easily?"
"Of course it's wrong! Because that person let us go on purpose!" Tao Wanwan finally calmed down.
The old servant was startled: "Then we still have to go to Texas? Doesn't this expose the master above?"
Tao Wanwan's face suddenly darkened: "We must go! If we don't go, we won't be able to prove our worth! In this case, we will definitely die! That person is the master's mortal enemy!"
"But what if the people over there in Dezhou notice it?" The old servant was worried. The master above was not easy to deal with either.
A weird smile appeared on Tao Wanwan's lips, and he said in a low voice: "It's okay, something big happened to the Shen family. Let's deal with it here for the past two days. When the Shen family can't control it, our chance will come. Once we get the gold promised by that young master, we will escape!"
"Is that why the master left Tao Xin in Dingyuan?" The old servant suddenly understood and admired Tao Wanwan very much.
Tao Baiwan had a greedy look in his eyes: "Of course, Qingguo is controlled by others. No matter how much money I make, I can't compare to him. In this case, it is basically making wedding clothes for others. Although I, Tao Baiwan, am not too Itβs a big deal, but you can still tell which one is more cost-effective!β
The old servant was silent for a moment, and then talked about something else.
Over at the Yamen, Tang Qin has been sitting here since last night.
He originally wanted to go back to see his father, but the leader of the Qing Gang, who had been missing for a long time, actually came to the Yamen to transfer his property last night.
This made Tang Qin smell something different.
Mr. Wen over at Yunzhou Inn has other plans secretly.
That night, he couldn't calm down at all.
Although Yunzhou Yamen is temporarily under his control, Mr. Wen also promised him that as long as he was capable enough, he could give him a matching official position.
But Tang Qin didn't like this situation of not being able to control the overall situation.
After he discovered Lu Tao's identity before, he deliberately approached her.
Whether it's utilitarian or personal feelings, Tang Qin is not the kind of pedantic person, he can make the best use of them.
I thought Wen Qingzhu would let him participate in first-level things, but now it seems that he is only a second-level person at best.
Just when he was recognizing his identity, there was a knock on the door.
He looked up and saw that it was Shen Yu.
Tang Qin stood up: "Why are Mr. Shen here? At this time, shouldn't you be surveying the terrain with Mr. Wen?"
Shen Yu strolled in and sat opposite Tang Qin: "For such a small matter, Mr. Wen can go with him once and have an idea in mind. I will naturally arrange the rest. When the matter is finished, Just report to the adults."
"Are you reminding me to recognize my position?" Tang Qin felt a little unhappy.
He and Shen Yu grew up locally in Yunzhou. Although there was an elder brother above them, Tang Qin shined even brighter.
But later, Shen Yu appeared, and his father admired Shen Yu even more.
Shen Yu is said to be more humble and able to do great things.
Tang Qin has been dissatisfied for many years, and he still feels resentful to this day.
Shen Yu sighed helplessly: "Tang Qin, I thought that after so many years in Texas, you would have restrained your arrogance. Now it seems that you are exactly the same as you were then."
With a bang, Tang Qin slapped the table: "What qualifications do you, Shen Yu, have to criticize me! I'm just a chess piece of the Shen family!"
Shen Yu frowned and tried to persuade him: "I am a chess piece, but I'm afraid you don't know now that I am the only chess piece of the Shen family. I hold the bargaining chip for the Shen family's turnaround. Do you think the Shen family will treat me in the future?" What will this fifth server clan member think?"
