"About the new artillery, I have to send someone to inquire, what is it like, what is the function and power? You have to figure it out, and it's hard, but do your best. For the first piece of news, Yang Chendong gave the Security Bureau a direction.

Then said the second article, "When Zhang Quan arrives, I will arrange for Yu Mian to meet and talk with them first, and see what regulations are reported to me." ”

It is true that Yu Mian is Yu Qian's son, but Yu Qian was missing at that time, and Beiming ignored it, of course, Yu Mian, as a son, there is no need to work for Beiming, and if you think about it, even Zhang Quan can't say anything. If he must take this matter as a crown, he can only say that this person's IQ is too low.

Yang Chendong has just made arrangements here, that night, a thousand Beiming Qianren Wei came to the foot of the first city, first sent someone to report, waiting for Zhang Quan and Qianhu Xu Deyi to arrive at the city with a large army, the city gate here has been opened, many soldiers wearing big cotton clothes with torches are lined up on both sides of the road, look at them like that, one by one energetic, when looking at the Beiming army, their eyes are shining, like a tiger that will open its bloody mouth at any time, can eat people.

Zhang Quan's height is not high, and his eyes are not big, but he is indeed very godly, like a pair of mouse eyes, constantly flashing, obviously this person is still a little smart. "Xu Qianhu, this is the territory of the loyal and courageous prince, you must order your soldiers not to cause trouble, otherwise, no one can protect you."

Looking at the formation at the city gate, Zhang Quan said to Xu Deyi carefully. At this moment, he was frightened by this formation anyway, and his legs trembled and trembled a little.

A eunuch is a eunuch after all, relying on the power obtained by currying favor with the emperor, without going through the battlefield to kill, can he not be timid in the face of the murderous spirit of the mercenaries?

"This is the original Arakhu Maqi? I just heard that the little one is pitiful, but it doesn't look like this formation. Zhang Quan was very flustered at this time, firstly, the appearance of the mercenaries frightened him, and secondly, he was also shocked by the majestic and majestic city in front of him.

Xu Deyi was looking at the mercenaries standing out of the city at this time. As a thousand-household, especially a thousand-household at the forefront of the front line, he is more professional than an average soldier. Therefore, you can feel the fierce and murderous spirit of the mercenaries even more.

Listening to Zhang Quan's words, Xu Deyi nodded and said: "This place used to be really small and pitiful, and it has been abandoned for a long time, it seems that the loyal and courageous prince has indeed put a lot of effort here." ”

Unlike others, Xu Deyi started from a military commander little by little, and he ran through some places around Daming before, and then he was favored by Sun Hong's general soldiers, and he was promoted to the position of Qianhuwei step by step. It was precisely because he had been to Arakhu Maqi before, and now he suddenly saw the magnificent Shicheng, and the surprise in his heart was greater than that of Zhang Quan. If it weren't for the more amazing momentum of these mercenaries who came out, I'm afraid that his attention would also be shifted to the city buildings at this time.

The city gate opened, and the mercenaries were constantly walking out, about half a cup of tea, when all the places in sight were lit by torches, only a general wearing a black cloak rode out on horseback, came to Zhang Quan and Xu Deyi three meters away and stopped.

The war horse was held on the reins and stopped, the person who came did not dismount, let alone report his name, he just stared at Zhang Quan and Xu Deyi with a scrutinizing gaze, and after a long time, he slowly spit out three words: "Enter the city." ”

Suddenly, being targeted, Zhang Quan had a creepy feeling, even Xu Deyi on the side was in a tense spirit. He just has a feeling that if something really happens, if he draws his sword, he will not be the opponent of the other party, and the person who comes can give him a great sense of oppression.

After saying these three words, the black cloak general turned around and left, not looking at Zhang Quan and Xu Deyi at all, as if the other party was an insignificant little character, and he didn't deserve his attention at all.

Someone led the way, although they were not very friends, but Zhang Quan and Xu Deyi had no way out, and at this time they could only follow the footsteps of others towards the city of Shicheng.

The city was also pitch black, after all, it was late, and under the leadership of the black-cloaked general, they turned left and right and came to an inn, where there were already special people waiting here, responsible for arranging their food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The area of the inn is not small, and each room is also very large. But there were more than a thousand Ming soldiers coming, and when these people swarmed in, it was still a little crowded, and no one stood up to say strange things from beginning to end, because they also knew that this was not their territory, and talking nonsense was likely to bring unwarranted disasters.

More than 1,000 people stayed in the designated inns, and no one came to see them until they went to bed, or sent anyone of status to receive them. Only the guys in the inn are busy, just some little guys, what can they find out from their mouths?

Zhang Quan couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart, he didn't expect the people here in Shicheng to be so strong, it seems that this trip to seek cooperation will not be too smooth, and even if he knew this, he might not choose to come.

What did Zhang Quan think in his heart, Yang Chendong was a human being or a god, so he naturally couldn't guess, he heard Hu Mang report on Zhang Quan and others in the Yang Mansion, and couldn't help but smile, "Arrange for Ye La to go out of the city to greet him, whose arrangement is this?" ”

The feeling that the black cloak general is Ye La, the head of the Jurchen cavalry regiment, no wonder the murderous spirit is so heavy, even Xu Deyi was scared.

"Young Master, it is what I and the city lord of Yu Mian have in common, we always have to give each other a dismount first when we want each other to come from afar." I didn't understand what Yang Chendong meant, so Hu Mang said tentatively. Before the greeting incident, the sixth young master said that he would hand it over to himself and Yu Mian, but he never expressed any attitude, so the two of them came up with the idea of sending Yela, in order to deter the opponent. If you don't hit the morale of the other party, I'm afraid that some things will not be easy to handle next.

"Well, the murderous aura on Yela's body is heavy, it should scare them into not sleeping well tonight." Yang Chendong still had a smile on his face, obviously he was not angry about the choice of Hu Mang and Yu Mian. But in the end, he still said, "Deterrence alone is not enough, so let them see the prosperity of the city in the city tomorrow, and one gallop is the way of civil and martial arts." Finally with clear instructions, Hu Mang nodded again and again: "Yes, young master, I will arrange it." ”

This night, whether it was Zhang Quan or Xu Deyi, they really didn't sleep well, looking at the frame of the first city, they really didn't dare to guarantee that when they fell asleep, their heads would not be cut off by others.

As it turned out, this worry was obviously unnecessary, and the next morning, they opened their eyes safe and sound. At this time, the inn was already extremely lively, and the meals had already been prepared and served in front of them. Four dishes and one soup, or the standard of enough not only made Zhang Quan and Xu Deyi, but also the Beiming soldiers below exclaimed.

When is this? Where is this?

It's freezing outside, and this is a lonely city, so it must be extremely difficult to transport supplies here. But the food is still so good, not only meat foods such as mutton and pork, but also vegetarian foods such as leeks and celery, which are green and shocking when placed on a plate.

Behind Datong Mansion is the land of Beiming. But even in those places, vegetables are only seen for a few months of the year. For example, in this season, most of them are potatoes, turnips and cabbage, and where can you eat such a green food?

"It's not going to be like this every day, is it?" Looking at the meals on the table, Zhang Quan's mouth was surprised.

Xu Deyi was also shocked by the reality in front of him. There was also a voice in my heart, such a food standard could not be sustained, it should be that I had just arrived, and the other party intended to entertain me. Yes, it must be.

A breakfast was no less than the formation that went out of the city to greet them last night, and it gave Zhang Quan, Xu Deyi and others a shocking blow. Not long after breakfast, someone came to deliver a message, saying that the city lord Yu Mian was handling government affairs below, and he really didn't have time to see them, so he asked Zhang Quan and them to take a walk in the city by themselves first. But at the same time, it also put forward a request, that is, not too many people invited them to travel at a time, let alone gather, otherwise once something goes wrong, the face of both parties will not be good.

After sending away the messenger, Zhang Quan pondered for a moment and then looked at Xu Deyi and said, "Xu Qianhu, the other party is so defenseless that we have to go to see it, then we will obey the other party's wishes." In this way, the arrangement continued, and the soldiers below led the team by the captain, went out of the inn to tour the city, and then reported to us what they saw in the evening. Do not tell them not to do anything wrong, or no one will be able to protect them. ”

When he said the last sentence, Zhang Quan was already much more correct. When Xu Deyi heard this, he nodded immediately and arranged it on his own.

Hundreds of groups led by the commander of the Ming army left the inn and began to walk around the city in their respective directions. Zhang Quan and Xu Deyi were not idle, they also brought a few entourages to the streets of Shicheng, and they went to the commercial street mentioned by the inn.

A commercial street is a must-build thing for Yang Chendong in every city that belongs to him. Centralizing all the business in one place, not only can it be better managed, but also people's eyes can be collectively in one place, whether it is businessmen or ordinary people can better buy and purchase.
