Yun Dingxing and Duan Da retreated, but Wang Shiyun did not leave, he was really a little uneasy in his heart, let the Tang army ships pass through Xiyang County, he was single-handedly promoted, and now the consequences are beginning to appear, how can he explain to the Son of Heaven?

Wang Shichong glanced at him and sighed: "The thing I regret the most now is that I shouldn't exchange Xiangyang County for Hongnong County, I didn't expect Xiao Mo to be so weak, the Tang Army swept the seven counties of Jingzhou in less than a month after entering Xiangyang County, this is obviously to exchange the seven counties of Jingzhou for half of Hongnong County, and we have suffered too much loss."

Wang Shichong did not realize that his deal with the Tang Dynasty had lost Zhang Xuan's trust in him, and he only calculated the account from the loss of territory, and the huge loss made him regret it.

Of course, Wang Shichong would not think that it was his own responsibility, and the matter was caused by others, including his brother, but Wang Shichong did not believe in Duan Da, Yun Dingxing and others at all, thinking that they would definitely leave a way back for themselves and their family, and would never be loyal to him Wang Shichong.

The only person Wang Shichong can trust is his brother and nephew, so he doesn't want to hold Wang Shiyun responsible.

"I ask you, how many ingots have you scooped up?"

"Back to Your Majesty, we have scooped up half of it, and if we continue to fish, I estimate that we can still fish out 200,000 catties."

Wang Shichong nodded, this is about the same, Danshui is not Han water, it is not so wide and deep, only 80,000 catties are fished out, how can he not believe it.

"Return the 80,000 catties of copper ingots to the Tang Dynasty, and the rest of the copper ingots will be collected into the treasury, and we will also mint money, and this batch of copper ingots will come at the right time."

At this time, the eunuch reported at the door, "Your Majesty, General Wang Renze is here." ”

"Let him in!"

Not long after, Wang Ren walked in quickly, and Wang Ren was named the king of Xingyang County and the general of Zuo Wuwei, who was the person who controlled the army the most among all the generals under Wang Shichong, and won the trust of Wang Shichong.

He came in and knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Weichen Wang Ren is to see Your Majesty!" ”

Wang Shichong walked up to him and said: "It is estimated that the Tang army is going to make a move on Xiyang County, Xiyang County is the gateway of Nanyang County and Shuyang County, Xiyang County is lost, Nanyang County and Shuyang County can not be defended, you can't lose the slightest, you can lead 24,000 troops into Xiyang County, and at the same time take over the 6,000 troops of Xiyang County itself, you must use these 30,000 troops to defend Xiyang County for me, and do not allow the Tang Army to step into Xiyang County for half a step." ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Wang Shichong was confused for a while, and promised the Tang army to borrow Xiyang County, but the Tang army had to advance again.

Wang Shichong will not make the same mistake again, he is very aware of the importance of Xiyang County, the important cities of Xiyang County are along the Danshui coast, if the Tang army is promised to garrison troops along the Danshui coast, it is equivalent to giving up Xiyang County to the Tang Dynasty.

Without the danger of Xiyang County, the Tang army could drive straight into Nanyang County and Shuyang County, and at that point, he would only be left with the lonely city of Luoyang.

．．．．．．

In Luoyang South City, an ox cart slowly stopped in front of the Beishan fur shop, and a man dressed in a man's uniform jumped off the ox cart, tied the ox rope, and walked quickly into the store gate.

"Little Liu, have you eaten lunch?" The guys greeted him.

"I've eaten, where's the shopkeeper?"

"The shopkeeper is naturally in the shopkeeper's room."

The young man walked quickly to the backyard, came to a room, bowed at the door and said, "Shopkeeper, the new goods from the north have arrived!" ”

This is a code word, which means that there is new information about Zhongdu, and Lu Ping's voice immediately came from inside, "Take it in!" ”

Most of the emergency communications between Luoyang and Zhongdu are exchanged through Eagle Letters, and only particularly important information will send people to Zhongdu to deliver letters, and the Eagle Station of the Intelligence Agency is not in the city, but in a village outside the city, and Lu Ping will send someone to get information every morning, and this guy is going to the outside of the city to pick up the Eagle Letter and come back.

The guy walked into the room, took out a tube of eagle letters and put them on the table, Lu Ping, who was standing aside with his hands, glanced at the letterbox, and asked, "What else is the situation?" ”

"There's nothing else, that's all there is."

"Go ahead!"

The man saluted and retreated, Lu Ping took the eagle letter, the thin letter tube was actually red, indicating that there was important information inside, Lu Ping pulled out the hat tube, and shook out a bunch of fine silk from it, he carefully unfolded the fine silk, only a large piece of palm, which was densely filled with small characters, which was written by Fang Xuanling's own handwriting, and did not let people write it, which means that the secret and importance of this letter.

Lu Ping quickly finished reading the contents inside, put away the fine silk, and began to bow his head and ponder, and it could be seen that Fang Xuanling had given him a tricky task.

After a long time, Lu Ping put on his coat, walked directly to the lobby outside, and said to a few guys: "I'll go out for a while, I may not come back at night, you close the door early." ”

"Shopkeeper, got it!"

Lu Ping put his hands behind his back and walked away with a heavy heart.

.........

Half an hour later, Lu Ping came to a martial arts hall near the upper east gate of Luoyang, he had already put on his disguise, turned into an old man with gray hair and a thin face, he looked like he was sixty years old, and he was completely two people from before, and even the buddies might not recognize him.

Since the Sui Dynasty entered the troubled times, the martial arts hall has been in the ascendant in the major cities of the world, Luoyang's martial arts hall had more than 50 at its peak, but after the merger and elimination, now there are only seven or eight martial arts halls left, each martial arts hall has a strong background, they are not just as simple as transporting warriors, but also secretly do some illegal things, as long as they can afford to pay, they will do it correctly if they kill people and goods.

The martial arts hall that Lu Ping found is called Hexi Martial Arts Hall, which is the most powerful one of all martial arts halls, and everyone knows that its backstage is Wang Yingshu, the king of Han, Wang Yingshu is the second son of Wang Shichong, and he is a strong and ruthless person, he has no official position in the imperial court, but he is responsible for Luoyang intelligence and surveillance, and the notorious patrol team in Luoyang City is under his full control.

Lu Ping made a generous move, and when he entered the door, he gave the disciples of the martial arts hall ten taels of gold, which had already alarmed the martial arts hall, and the deputy hall owner Liu Shun personally met him in the Guike Hall.

"My surname is Wu, a Jiangxia businessman, and I have encountered a little business trouble recently, and I want to ask your embassy to help solve it."

Lu Ping, alias Jiangxia businessman Wu Qian, put forward his own requirements straight to the point, he came to ask the martial arts hall to help solve the trouble, this is of course the way to make money in the martial arts, the Sui Dynasty did not have such a way as the underworld, but there are many things that require the underworld to come forward, and most of this situation is solved by various forces, and the martial arts hall is also one of the forces.

Liu Shun said with a smile: "Since Lord Wu found us, he must also know our background, so let's put it this way!" As long as it is in Luoyang City, there is no trouble that we can't solve, Wu Dongzhu will talk about it first, what is the matter, and then I will quote a price. ”

"That's the case, I made a big deal with a Chang'an businessman, and the business was done, but the other party's money was unwilling to give it to me, and I found all kinds of reasons to shirk it.

"Huh! This is a trivial matter, is it solved in Luoyang? ”

"Exactly!"

Liu Shun pondered for a while and asked, "Does the other party have a backstage?" How much money is involved? Please make it clear! ”

"The other party is from Chang'an, and there may be a backstage in Chang'an, but not in Luoyang, but he asked for a few guards who are not weak in martial arts, the key is to kill these guards, as for the goods, a total of eight thousand yuan of imperial money."

Liu Shun heard that the goods were worth 8,000 yuan, and he secretly laughed in his heart, this is really a fat sheep!

He groaned, "So be it! We will not only teach the other party a lesson for you, but also make the other party promise to repay the money, our commission is generally two percent of the value of the goods, a fixed price, one hundred taels of gold. ”

Gold is extremely valuable in the Luoyang market, the official price is one or two gold for ten yuan to open the emperor's money, but the black market price has reached one or two gold to exchange for twenty yuan to open the emperor's money, Liu Shun saw that the other party was a foreign businessman, and he made a generous move, so he opened a high price and slaughtered it.

Lu Ping thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid there will be blood in the account this time." ”

"Of course, even if we kill someone, we will bear it, but I said ugly things in front, if we really kill someone, Wu Dongzhu will have to pay another hundred taels of gold, and we also need to take care of the government, if Wu Dongzhu runs away, then don't blame us for going to Jiangxia to find someone."

"This won't happen, when will it pay?"

"Pay half of it now, and pay the other half before you start, if something happens, Wu Dongzhu will have to come again."

Lu Ping immediately took out fifty taels of gold and put it on the table, "This is half, I will inform you of the specific time and place of the start, it should be these two days." ”

Huang Chengcheng's gold made Liu Shun's eyes turn into a slit, there are still people who pay the bill with gold these years, this fat and stupid guy, how can he be worthy of him if he doesn't extort hundreds of taels of gold.

Lu Ping got up and said goodbye and left, and Liu Shun immediately ordered his two subordinates, "Keep an eye on this person for me, and see where he lives?" ”

..........

Lu Ping had already made arrangements, he found an inn near Nanshi in advance, registered it with the name of Jiangxia Wu Qian, and specially purchased a set of merchants' outfits, and the room was stacked with a little messy goods, no matter how you look at it, he is a businessman.

On the same day, he stayed in this inn, and the men sent by Liu Shun found out his details and went back.

At night, Lu Ping came to your hotel, this is the place where Zheng Guo receives distinguished guests, whether it is the envoy of the Tang Dynasty or the envoy of the Sui Dynasty, generally live here, at this time the guard outside the hotel is heavily guarded, hundreds of soldiers stand all over the gates, and there are three teams of soldiers patrolling back and forth around the high wall, protecting the guest house like an iron bucket, and the people around know that this is the envoy of the Tang Dynasty.

Lu Ping found a concierge and sent a letter, this is Lu Ping's style of doing things, he will make friends with some small people in key positions, and the pavilion of this noble hotel is one of them.

After a while, the pavilion of your hotel hurriedly walked out, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time." (To be continued.) )
