The battle ended in a very short time, and they were not on the side of the convoy at the right time and place, and at the same time, they suddenly encountered a sneak attack from the Mongols, and they immediately panicked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

These knights may seem heroic, but they lack the tenacity and fearlessness of a true soldier. When they encountered this kind of sneak attack, their hearts were quickly confused, and even if Jiang Hao scolded them again and again, it was still difficult for them to calm down and meet the enemy.

And when the Mongol cavalry approached and greeted them with a dense rain of arrows, they fled like headless flies, unable to take care of the goods and people they needed to protect. At the same time, in this rain of arrows, Jiang Hao, who has always been the most eye-catching, was also hit by an arrow, which made this battle even more suspenseless.

In just over half an hour, this convoy of more than 500 people was completely annihilated. With the exception of a few who were lucky enough to survive, the other knights were killed on the spot. However, Jiang Hao, although he was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse, he was not too seriously injured, and after the battle, he was captured alive by the Mengren.

When the battle was over, Mu Tu, Yang Zhen and the others walked out from the depths of the camp, and when they saw the goods on the carts that had been dumped because of the sudden battle, the eyes of the leaders of the two other tribes were a little red.

Although most of the things on the cart were covered with felt cloths, the iron tools and tea leaves that fell on the ground were enough to make the leaders excited. You know, although their tribe is richer than the Gai beggar tribe, it is not much better, and it would be good to be able to eat enough in the past, how can it be possible to get these scarce resources on the grassland.

Unlike them, Mu Tu turned his attention to Jiang Hao, who was still full of anger and grievances in front of him, who had been stabbed on his neck. Although he was in the rear tent, he could also see that this person was the leader of this team, which made him very interested in this person.

Originally, they set up this game to deal with them who might return from hunting at any time. But what I didn't expect was that the main owner didn't come, but such a convoy came. When Jiang Hao and the others came all the way in a majestic manner, they didn't realize that some of the herdsmen around them were actually the eyeliners sent by Mutu. Once they found out that their target was the Chahar camp, they were the first to report it, and this was the trap.

"Who are you, are you here to find the big brain?" Mu Tu stared at the other party for a long time before asking.

But Jiang Hao looked at him blankly, he didn't know how to speak, so he naturally didn't know what the other party was talking about. Of course, even if he really knew that the other party was asking about his identity, he would not answer in this case.

"Hmm......" Seeing Jiang Hao like this, a trace of unhappiness flashed in Mu Tu's eyes, and he turned his gaze to the rest of the people, and asked similar questions again, hoping that some of these people could speak Mongolian.

It's a pity that Shen Jie, who is proficient in Mongolian and has a lot to do with them, has already died in the chaos, and no one else here can understand what he is asking. However, looking at his somewhat annoyed look, everyone still guessed something, and his face became more and more ugly.

At this time, Yang Zhen walked out and said to Mutu through Gelehei's translation: "Patriarch Mutu, leave this matter to me." ”

"Oh, good!" Only then did Mu Tu remember that he had a friend from the Ming Kingdom here, so he smiled and nodded.

Jiang Hao and the others were also stunned when they heard the Chinese language, and then they saw that Yang Zhen's appearance was a person of the same clan. Thinking that they were going to die, they felt that they had the possibility of survival, and immediately begged Yang Zhen for mercy: "This brother, please also ask this patriarch to spare us for the sake of us all Han people." ”

"Yes, we have no grievances with you, it's okay if you rob things, don't kill us."

Listening to their words of forgiveness, Yang Zhen didn't say anything, just looked at them: "Who are you and what are you doing here?" ”

"Forehead......" Everyone who was begging for mercy was stunned when they heard this question, and immediately turned their eyes to Jiang Hao. In fact, there is no need for them to do more, when Yang Zhen asked this, his last eyes were fixed on him.

Jiang Hao was nervous by Yang Zhen's heart, but fortunately, he had also experienced a lot of ups and downs and was well-informed, even at this time, he still smiled calmly and said: "This friend, Jiang Hao." We are just businessmen, and we have come to the Chahar Department to sell some goods. I didn't think about it...... You can only take these things, but please ask these patriarchs for the sake of our fellow Han people, and spare the lives of our brothers, and there will be a reward in the future. ”

Yang Zhen just smiled faintly when he heard it: "Really?" You're here to do business? You say. As he spoke, Yang Zhen turned his gaze to the others again.

Those knights didn't dare to make eye contact with him, they all lowered their heads, and only a few nodded a few times there, indicating that what Jiang Hao said was true.

"At this time, it is the time for the various departments of the grassland to raise materials and wait for the winter, even a big tribe like the Chahar Department is afraid that they will not be able to buy these goods you have transported, right?" Yang Zhen asked with a smile, and then looked at the cart in front of him, where many people were already moving the things on it.

Pieces of silk and satin, pieces of tea bricks...... These goods, which can be sold at a good price on the grassland, show their true faces, and look at the Mongolian men around them with a greedy color. But Yang Zhen only glanced at it, then put his gaze on Jiang Hao again, and didn't speak. But the playful gaze made him uncomfortable, as if a knife was constantly rubbing against him.

However, Jiang Hao is not an ordinary person, even so, he still sticks to his heart and looks at Yang Zhen without evasion, as if what he said is indeed the truth. Seeing him like this, Yang Zhen laughed instead: "Okay, since you insist that you are a businessman, then let me ask you, how much do you plan to sell these goods?" ”

"This ......" just one sentence made Jiang Hao a little dumbfounded and speechless. Although he also takes care of the Li family's business, he deals with mostly large transactions, and he may not even be able to say the purchase price of the goods this time, let alone raise the price. If Shen Jie was still alive, he might be able to give a similar number, but Jiang Hao obviously couldn't do it.

"Why, do you still want to say that you're just a businessman at this time?" Yang Zhen said, his tone suddenly heavy: "Hurry up and explain the truth, otherwise these Mongolian people will not have such good patience." ”

Jiang Hao quickly turned his mind in his heart, judging the current situation, knowing that these Mongolian people had set up an ambush to attack his party, and he would not be soft when he killed his own people, so he could only sigh and said: "Okay, I said, I am from the Li family in Taiyuan, and I am here to give gifts to the Chahar Department." At this point, he looked at the people in front of him again and said curiously, "You are not from the Chahar tribe, but what about them?" Aren't you afraid that your brains will attack you when they find out? ”

When Yang Zhen heard this, he just grinned: "There is no need for you to think about it for us." At the same time, the thought was quickly turning in his heart: "Taiyuan Li family." I've heard about them from Lord Zhong before, this is the largest family in the northwest, how could they give gifts here? Could it be that ......" an astonishing guess was slowly taking shape in his mind.

Seeing that Yang Zhen was silent, Jiang Hao only said that Yang Zhen was a little jealous of his own prestige, so he said half threateningly: "Your Excellency must also know my Li family's name in Shanxi, as long as you can raise your noble hand this time, the Li family will not pursue this matter, I ......"

"You're in the same group as Liu Yingji, right?" Yang Zhen, who had already guessed, suddenly asked.

"Why are you ......" Yang Zhen's question was too sudden and direct, which caught Jiang Hao off guard, making him subconsciously want to ask a rhetorical question. But as soon as the words came out, he was shocked and quickly stopped, but unfortunately he was still half a beat slow.

A smile appeared on Yang Zhen's face: "Let's say, what is the collusion between your Li family and the Chahar Department to give them such a generous gift?" ”

Yang Zhen really didn't expect that this time he would have an unexpected gain in helping the people of the Gai Beggars deal with the Chahar people in addition to revenge. The hazy and insufficient clues and evidence before can be conclusively evidenced from the Mongolian steppe this time.

Looking at Yang Zhen's malicious smile, Jiang Hao's heart tightened a little: "Who are you, how can you know these things?" ”

"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to tell me about how the Li family, Liu Yingji and others colluded with the Chahar people." Yang Zhen stared at him strongly: "If you don't want to die, it's best to explain truthfully." ”

But this time, Yang Zhen miscalculated. Although Jiang Hao is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, when the safety of the Li family is linked to his personal life and death, he will not hesitate to choose the former: "If you want to kill, you will kill, and if you want to get unfavorable information about the Li family from my mouth, it is a fantasy." So saying, he closed his mouth and said no more.

Yang Zhen was also slightly stunned when he saw him like this, he didn't expect this person to be so loyal to the Li family, which was a little difficult.

At this time, Mutu and the others also saw that there was a problem with the questioning, so they opened their mouths to ask.

Yang Zhen didn't hide it, and told Jiang Hao's identity and origin, and then said: "This person is still of great use to the next person, I wonder if you can hand over someone to me?" ”

"Of course." Mu Tu waved his hand generously and said, "I said before, as long as Friend Yang wants something, and we can get it, we will satisfy you." Don't say it's these people, it's their goods......" At this point, he still looked at those valuable goods with some nostalgia.

Yang Zhen hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I am grateful for the kindness of the patriarch of Mutu, as long as there are people below, not things." ”
