Chapter 541: The Undercurrent of Qiuzi Qiancheng

The reasons why crossbow arrows and the like have become contraband are nothing more than two.

First, although bows and arrows are also long-range killing weapons, there are not many people who use them, and secondly, even if ordinary people obtain them, they can't control them well, and they basically can't form combat power, so there's nothing to worry about and fear of those local tycoons.

Crossbows, arrows, crossbows, etc., are different, as long as the intelligence is normal, basically fiddling twice, you can use it, and you can become combat power in a short time.

Second, the power of the machine crossbow should not be underestimated, the good steel machine crossbow, if it is full of strings, it can even shoot through the iron armor in a short distance, the power is very strong, and it is fast to get started, and it can be used with a little training.

If there are hundreds of people equipped with machine crossbows, they can quickly pull up a force among the people, and it will directly become a force that threatens the ruler.

It can be said that in various places, if it is not the military, or directly trade with some large merchant groups, it is impossible to obtain a machine crossbow at all, and on the black market, the price of machine crossbow is also extremely expensive, at least a thousand taels of silver, that is, ten taels of gold, that is still not very sophisticated solid wood machine crossbow, if it is made of steel, and extremely accurate and powerful, the price may be more than five times ten times more expensive.

Su Peng once saw the crossbow besieging the Wulin people, when he was in Jiangning County, Han Tuo of the Black Water Army sent someone to get the crossbow when he was rounding up Xie An, who killed the rich man and blamed Su Peng, and in fact, Xie An was injured by the crossbow at that time.

At this time, Su Peng couldn't help but be surprised when she heard Temur Wan'er say that all the crossbows she was escorting in the caravan this time.

He had seen the caravans, and there were about two or three hundred horses in the caravan, and hundreds of chests were drawn in them, if they were full of crossbows and other fine weapons. This is worth tens of thousands of taels of gold.

Regardless of the value of these weapons, the source alone is extremely debatable, because if it is not directly purchased from big businessmen, it can only be purchased with a powerful military in the Central Plains.

Su Peng pondered for a moment, thought of a suspicious point again, and asked Temur Wan'er: "Miss Wan'er, if your boxes are full of weapons such as machine crossbows, why didn't you take them out and use them when you were facing the horse bandits just now?" The crossbow is the nemesis of the light-armored and unarmored cavalry. As long as one or two hundred machine crossbows are taken out, there is no need for training at all, as long as they are divided into two or three batches and start firing a salvo, those horse bandits will be scattered in two rounds...... And you escort such an important thing, why don't you add more guards? ”

Hearing this, Temur Wan'er couldn't help but snort coldly, and seemed to be very angry, but immediately reacted. apologized to Su Peng and said, "Su Yingying, I'm sorry, I didn't hum you, but I remembered something angry. ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

Su Peng asked. I only heard Temur Wan'er say: "Actually, speaking of which, we in Qiuzi Qiancheng, this time the caravan entered the Central Plains, and a total of seven big merchants were organized. There were more than 3,000 chariots and horses, and more than 2,000 chariots went to the Central Plains to trade together. ”

"When I go. There weren't any problems, but then there were some problems. ”

"We went to the Central Plains last month, when my father organized so many businessmen to enter the Central Plains, just to cover for me, after all, the Central Plains has always been sensitive to bows and crossbows, and the ban is extremely strict.

"And the transaction partner I made an appointment with was about ten days later than the agreement...... In fact, this time I brought my father's six hundred guards out, but I was not the only one to lead, and there was a father's subordinate, he was very martial arts, and his influence in the guards was stronger than mine, he said that he felt that the Central Plains people did not have the sincerity to trade with us this time, so he had to go back first, I couldn't resist him, so he took most of the guards back with the large caravan, and I always thought that this transaction could be successful, so I waited for more than ten days, and sure enough, I waited for this batch of bows and crossbows, but around me, in addition to ordinary chariot grooms, There are less than 100 guards left, and these people are my father's personal guards, so they will always be by my side. ”

"Because the number of caravans that went back first was too large and too concentrated, I couldn't find a caravan to go with me in the recent period, and I have a very powerful contraband banned by the Central Plains here, so I can't stay for a long time, so I can only take the risk of taking my subordinates and returning to Qiuzi Qiancheng."

"Unfortunately, or not by chance, I encountered these bandits on the road...... It's just that although we have a crossbow, but those machine crossbows don't have crossbow strings, which is also the Central Plains people have defended us by hand, afraid that we will make some trouble there, plus the people of the Central Plains have always resisted our various forces in the Western Regions, and it is possible to embarrass us once, so the machine crossbows have gone to the crossbow strings. And as a result, although we have weapons in our hands, we cannot become combat power. ”

Temur Wan'er told Su Peng about the cause and effect of the matter.

When Su Peng heard this, his frowning brows loosened slightly, and he nodded, so that the causal logic before and after was correct.

He pondered slightly, and said to Temur Wan'er: "Miss Wan'er, although I don't know about the situation of your Qiuzi Qiancheng, but I guess that Miss Wan'er wants to take over Qiuzi Qiancheng, I'm afraid that many people will feel unhappy and block their possibility of further progress, right?" The leader of the guards who went to the Central Plains with Miss Wan'er, and the people in the city who came out to buy weapons this time, did they regard Miss Wan'er as a thorn in the flesh? ”

When Temur Wan'er heard this, her beautiful and elegant eyebrows frowned slightly, and after a while, she said: "Su Yingying, so far, I am not afraid of the ugliness of my family...... In fact, in Qiuzi Qiancheng, there are more people under my father's command, and there are more people who want my life than I am. ”

"Oh?"

Su Peng listened, but he was not too surprised.

Temur Wan'er is a big beauty, but there are many people who want the life of this big beauty, and Su Peng is not surprised.

Because this is not the love of men and women, but the politics of Qiuzi Qiancheng. Governance struggle.

The focus of the struggle was the question of the heir to the Qiancheng of Qiuzi.

Temur Wan'er wants to inherit his father's Qiuzi Qiancheng, and his father's subordinates, as well as some of the elders of Qiuzi Qiancheng, also covet the position of power, that is, Temur Wan'er's government. Governing opponents, and politics. The struggle has always been cruel. The other party will not consider her beauty, perhaps, her politics. The opponents also fantasize about taking the power of Qiuzi Qiancheng, so that this most brilliant pearl of the Western Regions will become a pet and be happy under them.

This kind of struggle has always been insidious, cruel, and dirty, betrayal. Betrayal, that's commonplace.

It is entirely possible that Temurwan'er was betrayed by his father's people and deliberately leaked her whereabouts to the horse bandits.

And she herself knows this.

I only heard her say: "In the Qiancheng of Qiuzi, it is very complicated...... Because Qiuzi Qiancheng was originally the prototype of the mixed living of multiple tribes, when my father was settling here, he absorbed many people from local large tribes into the power center, and my father was under him. There are also some high-ranking old subordinates, most of whom surrendered because of their father's prestige and the force mastered by his subordinates. The heart is not completely loyal to the father, and the latter, many people see the father as old, and some want to go further. Some people want to keep their glory and make friends with those in the big tribes, but their father's military exploits and prestige are too high. Therefore, when their father was still healthy, they did not dare to act rashly. ”

"But in the past two years, my father has been old after all, and his health is not as good as before, so these people have begun to move, but my father has accumulated power, in addition to the general leadership power, there is also a direct escort team of more than 3,000 people, and they dare not act rashly, but in the past few years, those people have privately made friends with a lot of money and attracted some of the guards, so the situation in Qiuzi Qiancheng has become more and more unstable."

"This time, I personally went to the Central Plains to buy a crossbow, just to go back, equip it with my direct father's guards, and train a team of crossbowmen with a clean foundation and loyalty, as a personal soldier who supports my Temur family, this is afraid that many people don't want to see it, so today's incident will occur, fortunately, I met Su Yingying, and I survived."

Su Peng listened and nodded, and the other party said very clearly, so that Su Peng knew the general situation in Temur City.

But then, the two of them fell into a kind of silence, as if they didn't know what to say for a while.

Temur Wan'er was a woman after all, and she tried to alleviate this dull atmosphere, and asked Su Peng, "I said so much, but I haven't asked Su Yingying what he is doing in Qiuzi Qiancheng?" ”

Su Peng listened, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't call me Su Yingying, it sounds weird, just call me by my name." ”

"You still don't call me Miss Wan'er? It seems to be very raw, so it's better to call me Wan'er. ”

Temur Wan'er smiled and said, "I see that Su Yingying is a few years older than me, so I will call you Brother Su." ”

Su Peng smiled, acquiesced to this title, and then said: "This time, I am going to visit my friend, Ouyang Qing, the Crazy Sand Evil Sword, and now I live in Qiuzi Qiancheng, Wan'er, have you seen it?" ”

"Crazy Sand Evil Knife Ouyang Qing?" Temurwan'er blinked and said, "Is this person red-haired and a somewhat cynical personality?" Long with a long knife, as if the desert wind and sand are blowing on the face? ”

"It's him!"

Su Peng was a little surprised when he heard this, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect Temur Wan'er to really know him.

"yes, I've seen him...... I saw it nearly two months ago, when my father was in order to help someone gather to go to the desert, he was very strong, often competed with people and won all of them, my father was looking for this kind of person with excellent martial arts, so he summoned him to the city lord's mansion, I saw it at the time, he was very reckless, and he clashed with a master under his father, and drew a sword to fight, so he was extremely impressed. ”

Temur Wan'er said to Su Peng...... (To be continued......)

PS: The coast has been a bit big these two days.

I believe that the recent earthquake in the online article, everyone knows it.

A few days ago, it was only the first wave, and today is the second wave, and the official and military texts are still ambiguous, and more than seven fine books are shielded for self-examination, including two platinum authors.

I heard that this is just the beginning, and there will be a third or fourth wave to follow.

Although "Death Wheel" is not small yellow, nor is it urban, everyone has also seen the urban part, and it is inevitably linked to high-level management.

In fact, the original outline of the coast should have been written some time ago or recently in the city, Su Peng came into contact with some subordinates of the real enemy, but now, he didn't dare to write it at all, and he couldn't write it......

In the headache, some foreshadowing and layout can not be written, and the overall structure of the city is also problematic if you don't write the city, and the headache is being deleted in the past two days.

Now there is a kind of rush to "they caught the Jews ...... in the first place".

Revise the outline these days.,Try to update it as early as possible.,Readers who say that there hasn't been a realistic plot for a long time, please forgive me......

Loyal hope to the online literature industry, I hope that the starting point will not hurt the muscles and bones.
