Chapter 676

"According to your experience, which tribe's boots are they wearing?" Xiao Jin asked pretending to be curious.

"The boots look like soft cavalry." the man looked at them carefully and then said, "Yes, it's the Rouran cavalry. Young master, I've received guests from all directions in this store. At first, I didn't know where the guests came from, and made a lot of jokes. Because the tastes and taboos of each tribe were different, the shopkeeper talked a lot about it later, so I took care to learn it. You see, the boots of Rouran cavalry are made of cowhide Yes. Because Rouran is a relatively powerful country on the grassland, the leather boots of their cavalry are more exquisite than those of other tribes. They play more with Daqi and learn a lot from the style of Daqi people. The head of the boots is not so sharp, which is convenient to wear and drag. The Spurs behind their boots are half moon shaped, which is different from the round spurs of other tribes Like. "

Xiao Jin and Wei ruoyi looked at what the waiter said and compared it. It's really like that.

"I've gained a lot of knowledge." Xiao Jin smiled slowly, took out a silver or two and handed it to the man. "This is the reward. Thank you, little brother."

"Too much, no need." the man was stunned at first, and then smiled, but he still didn't dare to take it. It was a silver or two! It was too much.

"Even if I thank you, you'll take it." Xiao Jin said with a smile, "maybe I need to ask you in the future."

"Take the small one first. If you have any questions later, you will come to the small one. The small one must know everything!" the waiter thanked him for collecting the silver, and Xiao Jin waved to him to wait outside.

When the waiter left, Wei ruoyi came to Xiao Jin's side and asked curiously, "how do you think those people have problems?"

Just a glance

"I've been in royal guards for many years and I've learned a little." Xiao Jin smiled faintly, "You just saw the wheels creaking when those cars ran over, but there were very deep traces where they were not covered by the bluestone slab. The weight pulled on the car was not ordinary. The length and width of the car could not reach this weight if it was ordinary goods."

"Awesome!" Wei ruoyi gave Xiao Jin a thumbs up. "I'm brother Jin in society. I don't have much venomous words!"

"What a mess!" Xiao Jin was teased by Wei ruoyi again, and was saying what he didn't understand. However, he vaguely felt that Wei ruoyi was praising him, so he stopped asking what it meant.

"But it doesn't matter if the goods are heavy." Wei ruoyi looked out of the window again. "Why do you think they have a problem?"

After Wei ruoyi finished, she suddenly said, "I know!" she quickly raised her hand high, "I see the problem!"

Xiao Jin looked at his lively wife with a smile but no words. She thought Wei Ruo clothes were very cute.

"They are as like as two peas, but their boots are all the same." Wei Ruyi said with a smile. "Ah Jin, how amazing you are! How can I not see it at all?" after speaking, Wei Ruyi looked at her husband with stars.

He raised his hand and gently touched Wei ruoyi's forehead. "Just now you have only these snacks in your eyes. Where will you care about them?" Xiao Jin scolded Wei ruoyi.

Wei ruoyi... That's true! Just now she was really distracted by the dishes of free cakes.

No

"Isn't Rouran going to fight with Daqi?" Wei ruoyi put back the snacks that had been sent to his lips and asked with wide eyes. "How long has it been noisy and haven't started to fight? How can we suddenly send cavalry disguised from us? We're not on the border with Rouran. We're still a distance away."

Because Rouran wanted to fight with Daqi, both sides pressed the array with heavy troops, so that the girder had to deploy heavy troops on the border of the three countries in case of change.

However, Rouran quarreled with Daqi this time, but he didn't fight a few times. He looked like you stared at me and I stared at you to see who took a step forward first.

According to the truth, at this time, Rouran should pay attention to the border with Qi. Why did cavalry suddenly appear in disguise on the site of the girder?

"What are those things they escorted?" Wei Ruo Yi asked with a frown.

"I also want to know." Xiao Jin smiled faintly.

"Shall we break the rope on their car while they are blocked here, so that the goods can be exposed?" Wei ruoyi looked out of the window. Several strong men were pushing together under the command of one person. The body was too heavy, and the wheel was stuck. Several strong men pushed the wheel out several times before they pushed the wheel out of the gap in the stone.

"Oh, the wheel was pushed out." Wei ruoyi patted Xiao Jin's hand and said with infinite regret, "what a pity! I missed a good opportunity!"

"That's nothing." Xiao Jin said with a smile. "I'll send someone to follow them later. In this busy market, if they show the prototype, I'm afraid it will surprise them. It's better to let them go safely and see where they're going and what's on the car."

"You are bad." Wei ruoyi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "but I like it so much!"

She looked back at Wei Geng and said, "Wei Geng, do your hands itch?"

Wei Geng has been listening to the dialogue between the little couple. Just now he wanted to volunteer to investigate, but he had no choice but to come out to protect Wei ruoyi. Without Wei Xin, he couldn't leave Wei ruoyi without authorization. So I pressed the idea down.

"Itchy hands! But protecting the princess is more important," Wei Geng said sincerely.

"It's all right. I'll protect you princess. Since you're itchy, go. Remember not to scare the snake. If you find out what's on the car and their general intention, come back quickly." Xiao Jin said to Wei Geng with a smile.

"Haole!" Wei Geng's spirit was shocked! Immediately hugged and said.

Following the princess these days, Mingdao has done a lot of things. When he was a dark guard, those sneaky skills were rarely used. I have a chance to practice today.

"Take another person. Just in case." Wei ruoyi told Wei Geng for fear of an accident.

"Yes!" Wei Geng smiled.

Soon after Wei Geng left, Xiao Jin took Wei ruoyi to find delicious food.

When Wei Geng came back, it was the morning of the next day.

Wei ruoyi was still doing morning exercises. When he learned that Wei Geng was back, he left the school field directly.

"How's it going?" Wei ruoyi asked.

"If you go back to the princess, the ten carts are full of weapons!" Wei Geng said to Wei ruoyi with a fist. "My subordinates have been following them for almost half the night. They have been on their way all the time. It seems that they are very anxious to transport weapons. My subordinates asked one of our family's dark guards to follow my subordinates according to the princess's instructions. My subordinates came back to report to the princess when they were resting. The dark guard of our family has been following them for easy contact."

"Well done!" Wei ruoyi patted Wei Geng on the shoulder, and then looked at Xiao Jin sitting on one side, "what do you think?"

"We don't forbid the blacksmith shop to forge weapons without permission. However, we don't allow large-scale forging of weapons and other things, and someone will specially check the manufacturing volume of weapons every year. If there is something wrong, we will strictly investigate and deal with it. Therefore, it's not difficult to buy swords in the market. The difficulty is to buy a large number of weapons. Do you remember that I followed up the last hunting The origin of these weapons. I found that these weapons were not made in the same place, but were bought and collected from various places. After the first battle in the hunting ground, they should have consumed a lot, so I had arranged people to be in blacksmith shops everywhere. Once I found that someone ordered a large number of weapons in batches, I must report it to the royal guards. Since then, in batches The purchase never happened again, "Xiao Jin said slowly. "Maybe my supervision is more strict, so these weapons can only be purchased from Rouran."

"But Rouran is in the confrontation with Daqi. They still need weapons! How can they buy these weapons?" Wei ruoyi asked curiously, "who bought them?"

"It could be my fourth brother." Xiao Jin thought for a moment and said, "Or Xiao Ziya, or some other vassal kings. In order to prevent the change of vassal kings, my father had already been on guard against the vassal kings from forging weapons privately. Although they have soldiers in their hands, if they want to expand the scale of the army. The shortage of weapons is a very difficult thing. In order not to make the imperial court suspicious, they will hide their actions and thoughts. So they don't know Can exclude the participation of local vassal kings. "

Xiao Jin said that she paused here and looked up at Wei Ruo Yi. "It seems that you expected it to be good. Someone can't stand such a large-scale purchase of weapons."

"Wei Geng, you pay close attention to this matter." Wei ruoyi said to Wei Geng. "If you have any news, please report it immediately."

"Yes." Wei Geng took orders to go out.

Not long after he left, he heard a herald coming to report that the imperial court had sent someone to send a message to Prince Yongning and Princess Yongning.

Wei ruoyi and Xiao Jin looked at each other, and their eyes were clear.

The edict is really coming! It is not only given to Xiao Jin and Wei ruoyi, but also related to the generals of xidajing.

After the two men knelt in front of the Guanxi camp and received the edict, they confirmed Wei ruoyi's conjecture.

The content of the imperial edict is very simple. Xiao Jin was removed from the post of commander of royal guards, and a large area east of Dongsheng Prefecture was granted as a fief. Although the fief is not rich, it gave Xiao Jin a large area near the sea.

All officers and men of the Guanxi camp change their guard and go to the fief with Wei ruoyi and Xiao Jin. The Guanxi camp will be handed over to other cavalry who have changed their guard. Wei ruoyi is still the general of Duhu. This cavalry is renamed Dongsheng cavalry and handed over to the commander of Wei ruoyi. All actions are under the command of Wei ruoyi.

After Wei ruoyi and Xiao Jin took the imperial edict with all the generals of Kansai camp, everyone was silent

It took a long time for Wei ruoyi to return to his mind. "Please rest in the father-in-law." she said to the waiter who came to preach. Everyone went back to the camp.

After entering the camp, the waiter who came to deliver the message quietly said to Xiao Jin, "the Lord has something more secret. I have another thing to do."

"Father in law comes with the king." Xiao Jin understood and immediately brought the waiter into Wei ruoyi's room.

"Lord." the waiter who came to deliver the message came to salute Xiao Jin, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xiao Jin. "This is your Majesty's secret letter to the Lord. Your majesty told the slave to give it to the Lord himself."

"Thank you very much. Go down first." Xiao Jin rewarded the waiter and then held him back.

"What's in the letter?" Wei ruoyi asked eagerly.

"Let me see." Xiao Jin first looked at the envelope. All four sides were sealed with fire paint and stamped with his Majesty's private seal. The envelope is flat and clean, and there are all kinds of fire paint emblems. The letter was brought intact and has not been damaged.

Xiao Jin opened the envelope. There was not only a letter, but also a carefully folded yellow silk. Xiao Jin took out the letter and felt her heart heavy when she read it.

This letter was written by your majesty.

Xiao Jin hurried to read it and then looked at it carefully. Her eyes were slightly astringent.

"Is it a bad thing?" Wei ruoyi asked with concern as he looked at Xiao Jin's eyes.

"You see." Xiao Jin handed Wei ruoyi the letter she had read twice.

Wei ruoyi didn't know what to say after reading it.

The letter was a bit like a farewell letter.

"My father left this for me..." Xiao Jin opened the yellow silk and handed it to Wei ruoyi.

The yellow silk is also a decree, stamped with your Majesty's seal and jade seal.

This is an imperial edict to avoid death. The imperial edict states that as long as the prince Yongning team does not commit any rebellion, it can always ensure the safety of the prince Yongning team, and its fiefdom and Dongsheng cavalry will never be recovered!

Wei ruoyi was stunned.

She suddenly had a sense of bewilderment in her heart.

She thought the cavalry of the camp in Kansai was something her father had long liked and left to her. How do you know? She still didn't spell Xiao Jin about her father!

Old fox!

Wily!

Crafty!

She came to Beidi and worked hard to win the trust of the soldiers of the Kansai camp. She thought she had abducted a disciplined and well-equipped cavalry from the emperor's old son. I don't know whether she and her father were busy or made wedding clothes for someone else's son.

This imperial edict directly changed the cavalry she had accepted into the private soldier of Prince Yongning.

So... Wei ruoyi suddenly wanted to help his forehead and smiled

Who said the emperor was old and confused!

He's good at calculating in the capital. He's smarter than ghosts!
