"King Chuang, I have come to collect debts from King Chuang on the orders of my general."

At this time, Qi Wei led several White Dragon Army Flying Feather Cavalry to Luoyang City, and shouted loudly at Li Zicheng on the city wall.

"King Chuang, this person's name is Qi Wei, he is Li Zixiao's henchman, it seems that Li Zixiao did not come in person, but also, with Li Zixiao's identity, he does not have to come in person."

Niu Jinxing stood next to Li Zicheng and said to him.

At this time, Li Zicheng had a cold face and shouted angrily to Qi Wei under the city: "You deceive people too much, and as soon as you come to Luoyang, you will kill my subordinates."

Is that what Li Zixiao told you? Since Li Zixiao is unrighteous in front, don't blame this king for not keeping his promises. ”

In the end, Li Zicheng still wanted to harden his mouth and shouted like this.

"Haha. King Chuang, when it comes to injustice, it is also your injustice in front, but you promised my general that after the capture of Luoyang, you would let Master Lu go.

However, when we arrived just now, your men were still desperately chasing and killing Lord Lu, King Chuang, do you really have the face to accuse us?

Let's not talk so much nonsense, this time, I came to get the silver for my family.

If I hadn't had my general to provide you with food and ordnance, would you have been able to take Luoyang? Now I want to regret it, that is such a cheap thing. ”

Qi Wei's voice also became cold, and he said in an unkind tone.

Qi Wei's words made Li Zicheng speechless for a while, the order to hunt down and kill Lu Xiangsheng was indeed given by him personally, how could he have thought that things would develop to this point at that time.

Li Zicheng felt like he had swallowed a fly at this time, how disgusting and disgusting he was.

"King Chuang, it's not time to make extraneous branches. The coming day is long, let's and Li Zixiao's account will be calculated slowly in the future. Niu Jinxing opened his mouth to remind Li Zicheng.

"Whew!"

Li Zichang took a breath, tried to calm himself, and then said to Qi Wei outside the city: "Before, it was my subordinates who made their own decisions, and I will punish them when I go back."

Since this is all a misunderstanding, then we have both exposed. Six million taels of silver, I have ordered them to be raised in the city.

But it will take a little time, and in addition, I will send a team led by my subordinates Li Guo and Liu Tichun, when will your general let them come back! ”

Hearing Li Zicheng's words, Qi Wei smiled coldly.

Sure enough, as the general expected, Li Zicheng still chose to forbear, and the leader who can lead such a rogue army will not be a simple person.

At the same time, through Li Zicheng's words, Qi Wei knew that Li Yan besieged Li Guo and others in Ruzhou City, and Li Zicheng and the others had probably guessed it.

Li Zicheng was jealous, and he was unwilling to start a complete war with the White Dragon Army at this time, Qi Wei knew that the next thing on his trip should be very smooth.

"My general told me that when I came to Luoyang this time, I would first bring back two million taels of silver from King Chuang, and when we went back, I would let General Li Guo and them lead the troops back to Luoyang.

Then, we will send someone back to take the remaining four million taels of silver, hoping that when the time comes, King Chuang will be able to keep the covenant, and my general said that he really does not want to come and take it himself.

Because if my general comes, he will not be like me, only bringing a battalion of cavalry, and when the time comes, what you will see will be 30,000 elites led by my general.

Perhaps, when the time comes, we can see whether the 100,000 troops under King Chuang are powerful, or the 30,000 elite generals of our family are invincible. ”

Qi Wei stood at the foot of Luoyang City, not at all worried that Li Zicheng in the city would attack him, and said with a smile at this time.

In Qi Wei's words, the meaning of the threat is already very obvious, either you give the silver, or we will personally bring troops to get it.

"Hmph, Li Zixiao is thoughtful. Well, I accepted this plan, and in an hour, I would have someone send two million taels of silver. ”

Li Zicheng snorted coldly and said.

After speaking, Li Zicheng was ready to leave, and here he didn't want to stay for a minute.

Hearing Li Zicheng's words, the smile on Qi Wei's face became even brighter, and he knew that it was done.

Seeing that Li Zicheng was leaving, Qi Wei shouted loudly again: "By the way, King Chuang, as well as the craftsmen in the city, you can expel them from the city."

We will send someone to pick them up outside, everything is bothering the king, and the king will not be sent away! ”

"Humph!"

After listening to Qi Wei's shouts under the city, Li Zicheng's face became even more ugly, and he flicked his sleeves and left quickly with Niu Jinxing and others.

"Haha! Zhang Ming, let's go back too. ”

Qi Wei immediately laughed, and then said to Zhang Ming beside him, and led them back to the Flying Feather Cavalry Battalion behind.

"Juming, take two million taels of silver from King Fu's mansion and load it into a car, and you will personally send someone out of the city later."

Li Zicheng endured his anger, and when he went down the city wall, he said to Niu Jinxing.

"Yes, King Chuang, his subordinates obey orders."

"Whew! It's only six million taels, Li Zixiao is the first to be deposited with you by this king, and sooner or later this king will get it back.

Let's go, let's see how our 'Fulu Banquet' is prepared, after eating the Fulu Banquet, this king will ensure that you will all be rich and noble in the future. ”

Li Zicheng can be regarded as a generation of heroes, he can afford to put it down, and at this time he was already thinking about it in his heart, and said to the generals around him.

An hour later, Niu Jinxing came out of Luoyang City with two carriages loaded with two large wooden boxes.

"General Qi, we have delivered the silver." Niu Jinxing said with a smile.

Qi Wei stood still and did not move, surrounded by the cavalry of the White Dragon Army, they would not let their guard down at any time, while Zhang Ming boarded the car to inspect the wooden box.

When Zhang Ming opened the large wooden box on the two-wheeled carriage, he saw that a large silver ingot of fifty taels was placed inside.

Then, Zhang Ming turned his head and nodded to Qi Wei, indicating that it was right.

"King Chuang really kept his promise, we pulled the carriage away, and the rest of the transaction was carried out as I said before, and I said goodbye."

Qi Wei bowed his hand to Niu Jinxing, and prepared to take people away.

"General Qi, what will you do if we attack Kaifeng next?"

When Qi Wei was about to leave, Niu Jinxing suddenly asked Qi Wei out loud.

After Qi Wei heard Niu Jinxing's words, he rode on his war horse, turned his head to look at Niu Jinxing, and said coldly: "You are an understanding person, so I will tell you to understand."

Kaifeng, it is my general's eye, we will not care how you go to other places to rob, but you can't enter Kaifeng, otherwise it will ......"

After speaking, Qi Wei took people and took two large carts of silver south and returned to Ruzhou.

Two days later, the 30,000 Liukou army led by Li Guo and Liu Tichun also returned to Luoyang smoothly, and then Li Zicheng still did as promised, sending someone to send a carriage containing four million taels of silver to the place designated by Qi Wei.

Now that the transaction has been carried out and the two million taels have been paid, Li Zicheng will not give up halfway.

After Qi Wei also got six million taels of silver as promised, he continued to garrison Ruzhou City and did not send troops to attack Luoyang.

And Li Zicheng was in Luoyang, which also allowed his army of rogues to start recuperation, as well as a new round of conscription, to continue to expand his team.

………………………………

Qi Wei led the army to defend Ruzhou City, while Li Zixiao secretly led the army to the sea and arrived on Tamna Island.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news that Li Zixiao led the army to sea was almost already known to the Tartars at this time.

The reason is that the Tartars have planted a lot of spies in Jiangbei, who are specifically responsible for investigating the news of Li Zixiao and the White Dragon Army.

Even if Li Zixiao's control over Jiangbei is already very large, it still can't completely prevent the infiltration of spies sent by Tartars.

His eyes turned back to more than half a month ago, that is, Li Zixiao had just led the White Dragon Army to the sea, almost half a month later.

In the city of Xuzhou, a medicinal herb shop.

A middle-aged man dressed in brocade and mink walked into this herb shop and came to the counter.

"Shopkeeper, you have ginseng from Liaodong here, preferably a century-old ginseng, my wife has just given birth and needs ginseng to replenish her body." Ma Yu asked loudly.

The shopkeeper behind the counter of the medicinal herb shop, after listening to Ma Yu's words, hurriedly glanced up at him, and then walked out from behind.

The shopkeeper of this medicinal herb shop is a thin and dry old man from Shanxi, not young, with a wrinkled face and a melon skin hat on his head.

He called the guy who was already ready to come forward and greet the guest, and he himself stepped forward to receive him personally.

"Guest, you've come to the right place. Half a month ago, I just came here with a batch of good Liaodong old mountain ginseng, do you want a hundred years, or two hundred years? ”

"Is it authentic Liaodong old mountain ginseng? Is there any Korean ginseng, preferably for 100 years? ”

The little old man in charge of the shopkeeper immediately showed a smiling face, stretched out his hand in the sleeve of his padded jacket, rubbed it and said, "Guest officer, don't worry."

Our 'Zhongshantang' is the most famous medicinal herb shop in Xuzhou City, there are a lot of ginseng outside the gate, authentic and affordable, not only the old ginseng of Liaodong.

There is also Korean ginseng from North Korea, a 100-year-old one, and we have three more in the shop! ”

Hearing the innkeeper say this, a light flashed in Ma Yu's eyes, which quickly disappeared again, and he asked slowly, "How much is a hundred-year-old Liaodong ginseng, and how much is a hundred-year-old Korean ginseng?" ”

"It's all one hundred taels and one piece, Tong Su is not bullied, and the price is fair!"

"Hmm."

Ma Yu heard the old man's shopkeeper say this, and his heart was slightly excited, but he still subconsciously, quietly looked around, and found that there were only two of them left in the shop at this time.

The guy in the shop just now was also sent to the backyard by the old man just now.

Ma Yu took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and said, "Here are three hundred taels of silver tickets, for two hundred-year-old Liaodong ginseng and a century-old Korean ginseng." ”

"Okay, okay."

The little old man's shopkeeper smiled very happily, and it seemed that he was completely happy because he had done a lot of business.

Ma Yu handed over the silver ticket, and the little old man took it and ordered it, and then handed the three old ginseng sticks, each in a wooden box, to Ma Yu.

The two exchanged money and goods, their eyes intertwined, and they nodded slightly.

Ma Yu held the box and walked out of the medicinal herb shop, and then he walked around several shops along the street, bought some other goods, and finally returned to his house.

After returning home, Ma Yu entered his study, closed the doors and windows, and then put the ginseng box on the table and opened it carefully.

He first took out the two old ginseng sticks inside, and then found the mezzanine in the box, and when he opened it, there was a note inside.

However, the words on it could not be connected at all, and Ma Yu took another book from the shelf.

Begin to compare the contents of the book, secretly find the words on the slip of paper, find the corresponding words in the book, and write them on the paper.

Finally, he put down the book, the white page on the table was already full, picked up the paper and read it carefully a few times, his face changed slightly.

Then he lit the oil lamp, and burned the piece of paper that had just been written on him, close to the oil lamp.

Ma Yu is a Shanxi businessman who works as a steward in a trading house opened by a big Shanxi businessman in Xuzhou.

He came to Xuzhou from Shanxi only last year, and the piece of paper he burned just now was full of the tasks he was going to perform next.

In fact, he came to Xuzhou from Shanxi, and he was only in charge of the business house in name, in fact, more of him, he used this identity to collect information about the White Dragon Army in Xuzhou City.

The medicinal herb shop he went to just now was actually opened by a Shanxi merchant who had defected to Tartar.

When Ma Yu was buying ginseng, when he handed the little old man the silver ticket to the shopkeeper, there was actually a piece of paper in the silver ticket, which was written in secret language, about the situation of the White Dragon Army that he had recently investigated.

On the previous two occasions, he had sent away all the information such as the garrison of the White Dragon Army, the establishment of soldiers and horses, and the list of generals.

Although it is not classified information in the White Dragon Army, as long as you pay attention, you can basically find it, but it is very comprehensive.

The information he sent away this time was indeed a very important discovery in the recent past.

Because, he found that the few grassroots officers of the White Dragon Army that he could approach before had all disappeared during this time.

Even in Xuzhou City, the number of appearances of the White Dragon Sergeant has been greatly reduced, which makes Ma Yu sense that something is wrong.

Then, he spent more than ten days of secret investigation, and finally he came to an astonishing guess that most of the soldiers of the White Dragon Army should have left the military camp outside Xuzhou City.

It's a pity that Wei Hong's secrecy and defense work is very good, and he didn't give Ma Yu a chance to get close to the military camp outside Xuzhou at all, and Ma Yu has never been able to confirm his guess.

But the information he collected from many other sources confirmed his conjecture more and more, and in the end he couldn't help it, but decided to send this information out in advance.

At this time, there were really a lot of Shanxi businessmen of all sizes who were active like Ma Yu in Xuzhou and secretly actually worked for the Tartars.

Because of its geographical location, Shanxi is close to Zhangjiakou, a major trade route leading to the grassland.

Therefore, the merchants of Shanxi have always had a close relationship with the Hu people outside the Guan, and secretly maintained transactions with the Hu people outside the Guanwai.

In fact, the profits in trading with these Hu people are too great, and no merchant can not be moved.

Later, after the Tartars conquered the Mongols outside the Guan, Shanxi merchants began to cooperate with the Tartars.

All kinds of material smuggling, intelligence trafficking, as long as it can make money, they have no scruples.

At this time, many merchants in Shanxi secretly engaged in smuggling transactions with the Tartars.
