The two guys were startled by the sudden accident. After being stunned for a while, one of them reacted. Just about to shout, he was stunned by the palm of Zuo Ming cicada. At this time, Xiaoqi school outside heard the signal, and soon surrounded the small yard.
Those foreigners who went in before only focused on killing and taking people in the house, and the two companions outside were abandoned. They were unaware of it. Zuo mingchan knocked the two boys unconscious, pushed the door into the house, opened a bag of fan powder at the door, shook his hand and spilled it in.
The foreigners in the room screamed a few times, shot a few shots at the door and rushed out. Zuo mingchan hid behind the door, came out and put down one. The seven or eight foreigners in the room caught them all without effort. The people of Xiaoqi school came in and tied all these people with ropes, and each carried one and then withdrew.
It was still dark when we got back to the shop. Zuo mingchan and Zhou Mingli were interrogated overnight.
One of the foreigners was in the inn before, and the later foreigners obviously came to catch him, so the first trial of the two people was this man. After pouring a basin of cold water, the effect of the overpowering drug gradually passed, and the foreigner woke up.
Zuo mingchan looked at the man and couldn't help laughing: "the foreign life is not much worse. He can't see his age."
Zhou Mingli said: "These foreigners are better. It's hard to identify those black foreign slaves. I went to the Principality of Ross last time to pick up Andrew's brother and sister. After traveling to the Principality of Ross, I found that their customs are very different from those in the Central Plains. Foreigners like them have white skin and look no different from those in the northern Liao Dynasty. They have blue eyes and high noses. In those big families in the Principality of Ross, there are Many of the foreign slaves were black as charcoal and looked like ghosts one by one. Their whole bodies were so black, but their teeth were scary. "
Zuo mingchan said, "it's really the same rice that raises hundreds of people. If I hadn't come to Muping this time, I'd never seen a foreigner... Except Andrew."
Seeing that the foreigner woke up, Zhou Mingli moved a chair and sat down and asked, "what's your name?"
The foreigner opened his eyes and found that he was no longer in the previous Inn, and the person in front of him was not the one who caught him. He was a little confused.
"Where is this?"
He knows some Chinese, but his pronunciation is a little vague.
"No matter where it is, you are at least safer than those foreigners."
Zhou Mingli asked, "your name, why do other foreigners catch you?"
"Because... In business, they think we robbed their customers. You should know that people like us now come to the big Sui to do business in secret, because the Sui people don't allow us to come. What we can come is to pay a high price. Naturally, we don't want competitors."
The foreigner answered after a moment of silence.
Zuo mingchan smiled coldly, waved and called in. A Xiaoqi school ordered two words. The Xiaoqi school immediately went out. Not long ago, several people came in with a foreigner and threw it on the ground.
"Cut his ear."
Zuo mingchan ordered.
Two brave riders went to the school to hold the man down, and the other pulled out a dagger and cut off the foreigner's ear. Because he stretched his mouth, the foreigner's miserable voice seemed very stuffy and could not spread far. The house was popular all over the world and rebuilt, and the sound insulation was good. The foreigner was obviously startled and subconsciously shrank back.
"What's your name?"
Zuo mingchan asked.
"My name is dro."
He answered.
"Why did these people catch you?"
"Because in business..."
Before he finished answering, Zuo mingchan immediately ordered, "kill the foreigner."
The man of Xiaoqi school pressed the foreigner's head and wiped his neck with a knife. The blood immediately gushed out of the broken artery, and a large amount of blood soon spread out on the bluestone floor. The foreigner snored a few sounds in his throat, and then swallowed after emitting a few blood bubbles.
"Ask you again. If you don't answer, the next one is you. I don't have time to chat with you. I want a simple, direct and real answer. If you don't want to give me this answer, the remaining people who catch you must be willing to seize the opportunity to live."
Zuo mingchan waved his hand, and the people of Xiaoqi school dragged the body down.
Dro's face was as white as paper. He looked at Zuo mingchan. He could see the coldness in the Han man's eyes. He was sure that the man would really attack himself.
Zuo mingchan looked at him and said, "if you don't want to say it, I'll give you a start... You're from the Principality of Ross and the former hero of Ross. These people who arrested you are the new master of the Principality of Ross, the hero of shurens, right? You're the rebel of Ross. You came to the Sui Dynasty to sell firearms to the Sui people in exchange for money and help, right?"
Dro's face obviously changed. He didn't expect that the Han man in front of him knew so much.
Zuo mingchan said faintly, "I ask you, not because we don't know, but because we want to make sure whether we know. Finally, I remind you that there is only one chance to live, whether you say it or not... Moreover, how do you know that we don't help you? Maybe I'm also interested in what you sell to others."
"Your Excellency."
Drow said, "you're right. I'm from the Resistance Army of the Principality of Ross. I'm here to seek help. Those who catch me are thurens, a group of demons who invaded my home!"
Zuo mingchan nodded: "did you sell your firearms to Mu house?"
Dro shook his head: "To tell you the truth, I still don't know who my buyer is. The people of Dongchu helped me contact the buyer and told me that they are powerful nobles in the Sui state, with hundreds of thousands of troops, who are fully capable of helping the Ross people recapture their homes. That's why I sold the firearms at a low price just to meet the buyer. But the buyer was very mysterious and told me to wait until I prepared more goods Meet me. "
Zuo mingchan and Zhou Mingli looked at each other and estimated that the foreigner didn't lie.
"How many firearms do you sell?"
Asked Zhou Mingli.
"3000 muskets and 20 guns. This is the last batch of goods. It has been distributed and wholesale before."
Zuo mingchan was stunned: "what a big hand!"
Zhou Mingli said, "the people of shurens are here, not just to catch you?"
Dro nodded: "As far as I know, they also come to do business with the Sui people. But they won't sell firearms. The military equipment under shurens is the firearms of the opru Empire, which is much more powerful than those made by the Ross people. Shurens people know that the Sui people don't have firearms, so they won't sell them as goods. They should come to unite you Sui people to deal with the East Chu Human. "
"What?"
Zuo mingchan's face changed: "deal with the East Chu people?"
"Yes!"
Dido: "Lyman the great of the opru empire is an ambitious man. He spent five years conquering all the countries around the opru Empire, and the Aegean empire was the last to be destroyed. He has no enemies on that continent, and this man's ambition is big enough to hold the whole sky. He wants more than what he has now, so from the end of the Aegean empire After that, he began to prepare to march to the ocean. "
"The state of Eastern Chu is the first stone in front of Lyman the great. Shurens sent someone this time to unite with your Sui people. Please don't help the state of Eastern Chu."
Zhou Mingli's mouth opened slightly, and his eyes were surprised.
"The foreigners in Tongsheng Inn seem to be the people sent by shurens. When they went to Yang Shunhui's house, were they talking to Yang Shun about it?"
Zuo mingchan was silent for a while and said, "you stay and continue to interrogate those foreigners. I'll take someone to catch those foreigners in Tongsheng inn. Now it's about an hour before dawn. It should still be in time!"
He got up and strode out to greet the people of Xiaoqi school to leave the shop again and go straight to Tongsheng inn.
……
……
"This city is so beautiful"
Peter stood on the second floor of Tongsheng Inn and looked out of the window: "the buildings here, the food here and the women here are all so beautiful... To tell you the truth, I really want to go to the depths of the Sui Dynasty. It's best to see what Chang'an, known as the most powerful city in the world, is more magnificent than the capital of the opru empire."
"It's said that this country is very big, at least as big as dozens of Duchy of Ross. The northernmost territory is still snowing, and the southern territory has blossomed. If you walk, you can't walk to the southernmost in a year from the north of the Empire, and so is the East and West... Such a vast land is rich and charming."
His old servant bowed his head and said, "the East Chu is just a springboard. After the Imperial Army destroys the East Chu, it can take the East Chu as the base to attack the great Sui Dynasty."
Peter nodded: "I heard that in the west of the great Sui Dynasty, there is an empire called Mengyuan, whose territory is even broader than that of the great Sui Dynasty. There is an endless grassland, producing the most precious and vigorous war horses and the most pure and rare jade. What I see is still too little... Across the sea, the world here is so different. And the most exciting thing is that the people here are so backward. Sui Dynasty Our army is still equipped with steel knives and bows and arrows. How can such an army defend their homes in front of artillery? "
"It's fascinating."
Peter sighed, "it's a pity that he's leaving before he has a good look at the country."
"Leave?"
The old servant was puzzled: "don't we wait for Yang Shun's reply?"
"I also want to stay for a few more days. It's best to have the opportunity to meet the people of the Mu house... It's said that the Mu house is the most powerful aristocrat in the east of the great Sui Dynasty, with hundreds of thousands of troops. Even the royal family of the Sui Dynasty can't help the Mu house. We're here to explore the way for the army. It's a pity to go back if we don't even know the enemy's situation, but... We have to go."
He looked back at the old servant: "It's obviously an accident that the people sent to catch the Ross rebels haven't come back yet. If they were either caught by the Ross rebels or caught by the guards of the merchants of the eastern Chu, I was too careless. I thought they could easily catch the rebels and ask them where they were. Now, I'm afraid the people I sent are being pressed by others. I don't think anyone can withstand torture. I'm afraid My men don't have that perseverance. Go and pack up. Now let's go to Yang Shunhui's residence and leave the city at dawn. "
"Go to Yang Shunhui's residence?"
The old servant thought for a moment and then understood: "it's the safest place in Yang Shunhui's house. The person who receives your gold will be willing to provide a little help."
Peter said well and then turned back. Not long after, the old servant packed up his things and took the rest of the guards to protect Peter to the general's house of Yang Shunhui. They only walked for less than half an hour. Zuo mingchan took people to Tongsheng inn. The people of Xiaoqi school didn't find the trace of foreigners, and Zuo mingchan was annoyed.
He took people around the street for a while and didn't find it. When it was dawn, he had to return to the shops where goods went down.
After dawn, Yang Shunhui personally sent Peter and his party out of the city. Yang Shunhui also agreed to their request and allowed the people of the Principality of thurence to do business in Dasui. He kept watching Peter and them leave, as if he were seeing off an old friend of many years.
When boarding the ship, Peter looked back at Muping city and said with emotion, "I don't know how long it will take to come back."
The old servant bowed his head and said, "soon, the imperial army will put a national flag on the wall of Muping."
"Thurence!"
Peter smiled and said, "you are lucky to catch up with such a beautiful era. If you were older, you would not see the glory of the Empire."
"Yes... I'm really lucky.
The old servant said sincerely, "it's the luckiest thing in my life to serve you, my respected Lyman the great!"
