C81 Chen Cang Hidden in the Road of Ming Xiu

The banquet had dispersed early, but the news of the attack on the cloud by the full force of the Tarantula had made it somewhat lively in Midcloud City — the bustle of the war.

Cloud County was the stronghold city of the Darkhan Empire in the north. Without a doubt, the residents of this stronghold had suffered greatly from the war.

Almost every family had their people killed in the war.

However, it was also because of this that the weapon management system in the Cloud County was not as strict as the other parts of the Darkhan Kingdom.

Be it a domestic legal bow, sword, or spear. It was still a controlled armor, a heavy crossbow. These weapons could be found on the black market in the Cloud County.

Back then, Xiao Wen's older brother, Xiao Wu, spent a huge sum of money in the black market in the clouds to buy the Song Country's Bu Ren A and Tang Country's Mo Dao to fight on the battlefield.

"Wah!" The Tang Kingdom's Mo Dao and Ming Kingdom's Bird Rod, Sir, don't you want to buy some back? These things are not available on the eve of the war. " Looking at the weapons secretly taken out by the merchants in the corner, Guan Yu said with stars shining in his eyes.

To someone like him, who viewed martial arts as his life, these weapons were his favorite.

If he had the money, he would definitely buy from the black market.

Don't look at the girls shopping, like the Emperor Napoleon's queen, when Napoleon went out to fight the battle of Waterloo, a man in Paris to make a larger bill than the battle of Waterloo spent military money.

But in reality, any man would also be extravagant as long as he activated the buying and buying mode.

This was something that Xiao Wen, who often bought online, deeply understood.

However, Xiao Wen paid no attention to these people who were secretly selling or buying weapons in the middle of the street. He was planning to join the battle.

Others might not know about it, but how could Xiao Wen not know about the power of modern cavalry?

When the Emperor led his army in Egypt, he had defeated more than ten thousand Mamluk cavalry at the price of the deaths of dozens of men.

A ratio of one to one hundred, or even more than one to three hundred, Xiao Wen believed that his modern cavalry was more than enough to crush a whole cavalry on the ground.

The only trouble in the field was the spies and the hens who were waiting in the dark.

As long as they could get rid of him, then there was nothing to fear from this war.

However, he didn't rely on swords, spears, swords, and halberds to solve this problem. What he should truly rely on was his intelligence and scheming.

As such, the people on the black market weren't able to help Xiao Wen at all … Only the boss behind the scenes could help him.

Xiao Wen, who wasn't in the mood for shopping, didn't immediately return home.

The speed of a soldier was incredibly fast, and he had to bring the two little fellows along to carry out the mission they were planning on carrying out.

Soon, they arrived at the well-known wealthy Cheng Zheng family in the Cloud City.

Cheng Zheng, as a wealthy merchant in the clouds, was also a slightly famous character in the original history. "Historically, he had made his fortune selling iron and had made a huge business of it.

Cheng Zheng's family even sold their weapons all the way to the southwest, as well as the barbarian region at that time. It could be said that they were all wealthy.

However, in the history, this merchant who was as famous as Zhuo Wangsun was not swallowed up by Heshen like Zhuo Wangsun, and was reduced to working for Heshen.

On the contrary, his business was doing very well. With the help of the profits from the black market arms trade, the Cheng family had a lot of hanger-ons.

As long as they were armed with arms sold on the black market, these hangers-on could even be compared to the second line of the city guard. (As for the first line of defense, like the Liuliu Battalion, it was impossible to train them without a national machine.) Even the later families that worked hard would not be able to train such elite private soldiers.)

Zheng Cheng was also among the guests invited by He Shen today — although Zheng Cheng wasn't as important to Qing Kingdom as Xiao Wen was to him. However, if Zheng Cheng went missing, the black market business that he controlled would be in disarray.

This was also good news for the Eight Flag Cavalry to attack the Cloud Central City.

However, due to the disturbance caused by Xiao Wen and Cai Jie, Zheng Cheng was lucky enough to return home to rest.

Zheng Cheng still hadn't woken up, and the eldest son was only twelve or thirteen years old. Therefore, the job of receiving Xiao Wen was only to hand him over to Zheng Cheng's official wife.

"Thank you for notifying us in time today, Mister Xiao. "Otherwise, that Heshen who was stabbed by knives would probably plot against Old Zheng." Madam Zheng expressed her gratitude to Xiao Wen for his actions today.

Although Heshen thought that it was Cai Zhen who had secretly rescued everyone, Madam Zheng had personally witnessed Zhuge Liang's arrival to ask for help. Therefore, he was very clear that the person behind the scenes was still Xiao Wen.

Honestly speaking, He Heshen's reputation in the Cloud City, especially between merchants, was not very good.

Lending usury to make people's families ruined, using their own power to seize, all kinds of swindling, insatiable. If not for his position and the support of the big bosses in the imperial court, those with backers in Cloud City would have contacted his backers and dismissed this presumptuous county governor.

And today, He Heshen's actions also made her understand that He Heshen wanted to do something big, to take in the vast majority of the wealth in the city.

If it weren't for Xiao Wen, he was afraid that today, the Cloud City would have suffered a calamity.

Hearing these words of thanks, Xiao Wen also felt a little accomplished.

However, he suppressed the pride in his heart, waved his hand and said, "This is nothing, it's just a small matter. We are all living in the Cloud City, so we have to take care of each other so that those corrupt officials won't skin us alive. "

Madam Zheng nodded in agreement with Xiao Wen's words. She said, "If there's anything that Mr Xiao needs help with in the future, feel free to tell me. "Our Zheng Family will definitely support you."

Although her words were a bit polite, Madam Zheng still expressed her goodwill towards Xiao Wen.

But... Goodwill came and went as quickly as it came.

Hearing Madam Zheng's words, Xiao Wen said: "I really need some help right now."

"A few days ago, Master Cai and I got a piece of criminal evidence that could drive Heshen out of office. It was just this evidence, although it had some uses. He Heshen could lose his official position that was too high for him to rely on just the evidence. Therefore, in the past, Brother Zheng was able to mobilize the powerful figures behind him and add fuel to the fire. "As for me, I will link up with more people and join in on the plan to topple Heshen …"

After hearing what Xiao Wen said, Madam Zheng's expression changed.

She waved her sleeve and said, "This matter is of great importance. Sir, please allow me to wait until my master wakes up before making my decision."

Hearing this, it made sense. However, when he looked at this woman, Xiao Wen discovered that her expression was filled with perfunctory emotions.

The other side clearly didn't want to bother with Xiao Wen's scheme.

"In that case, I will take my leave first." Xiao Wen knew that such simple persuasion couldn't involve these cowards in such a dangerous situation.

After seeing Madam Zheng's refusal, Xiao Wen immediately turned around and left.

"I don't know if this Xiao Wen is stupid or not. For the sake of a small favor, who would participate in such a dangerous matter? " Watching Xiao Wen leave, Madam Zheng said with a cold smile.

She, as well as the other rich people in the city, did not want to be involved in the plan to topple Heshan.

Of course, Xiao Wen would overthrow He Heshen and then make him suffer the backlash from the overturning of He Heshen. They watched the fire from the other side of the river. When the matter was over, they would divide up the items that had once belonged to Heshan.

However, he didn't know about her or the family that Xiao Wen had visited afterwards. There was a twelve-year-old boy at their home. When Xiao Wen's parents received him, he met his disciples, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang.

"Lil 'Liang, no matter what, we have been friends for many years. I will help you out!"

"Brother Yu, your problem is my problem. Why are you being so courteous?"

This was the answer they all gave after sending Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu off at the back door.

Based on Professor Xiao Wen's research, the two kids could tell that the words spoken by these kids were sincere from the bottom of their hearts.
