Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 247 Gou Shu's plan, Tubo enters the game
"Your envoy, by order of my master, I'm here to talk to you about something."

"What's your name, sir?"

"I should not be a noble envoy Miao Zan, my name is Shu, and my surname is Gou."

"It turned out that Mr. Gou Shu was in person, so who is your master?"

"Lord Lu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanjin!"

Another prince?Lu Dongzan frowned slightly, he currently didn't have the slightest liking for Datang and the princes of Datang.

"What is your envoy worried about?"

Mr. Gou saw Lu Dongzan's concerns and asked.

Lu Dongzan snorted coldly, "The princes of the Tang Dynasty are not good things."

Mr. Gou said with a smile: "Your envoy, don't be angry. I know you made a show in Chang'an, but it's okay to lose your brains, but you can't lose your tolerance, right?"

Lu Dongzan choked on one sentence, and he waited for a long time before speaking again.

"Mr. Uncertain Gou, what do you and your master want to talk to me about?"

Mr. Gou smiled mysteriously, "That depends on what you mean, envoy!"

Lu Dongzan's face was slightly ugly, "See what I mean? Mr. Gou, I really hate the way you Tang people talk around in circles. Can't you say something simpler?"

Mr. Gou nodded again and again, "Naturally, the simpler thing is, my master wants to negotiate a deal with Tubo!"

"What kind of business?"

"A business that can make your envoy take revenge and feel proud!"

"Let me take revenge? Can you still kill Qin King Li Chengyu, Jibei County King Li Chongchen, and Zhao Guogong's eldest Sun Wuji?"

I remember it really clearly, it seems that what happened before really pissed him off.

Mr. Gou smiled happily and said, "Why not?"

Lu Dongzan trembled slightly, "Then now, I would like to hear what you are going to talk about!"

Mr. Gou spoke quickly, highlighting four words, "Allied forces, punish Tang!"

After hearing this, Lu Dongzan shook his head again and again, "I can't beat it, the Tang Dynasty is now strong, and Tubo is still not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty!"

Mr. Gou comforted him: "Your envoy is worrying too much. If Tubo and Tang fight against each other, they will definitely lose. But what if you and I join forces?"

"Joining forces with you, King Lu? Forgive my ignorance, but I don't even know how capable your master is!"

Mr. Gou smiled and said: "Your envoy only needs to send one person back to Chang'an, and the answer will be known in a few days."

Lu Dongzan's complexion was uncertain, and the sudden appearance of "Mr. Gou" made him feel a little uneasy.

"In this case, I will trust you once and send someone to Chang'an to stay for two days."

I don't know, what exactly does he want to know for himself, the situation is stronger than others, and they are still surrounding him with soldiers right now!
In Chang'an City, outside the Gunpowder Workshop, a man was sneaking around, and seemed to be holding something in his arms.

"Did you bring something?"

In a remote place, a masked man is waiting there.

"I brought it. It took me a lot of effort to get it. You have to pay more!"

The masked man's voice was slightly cold, "Okay, show it to me!"

"Okay, here you are. Ah! You."

I thought that the other party would give me a large sum of money, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a dagger flashing coldly in the end.

He fell to the ground in pain, covering his bloody throat with his hands, and his eyes were full of fear.

The masked man wiped the blood off the dagger, and said with a sneer, "Stupid guy, I already have everything, so why don't I keep you?"

After the man on the ground died, he left gracefully.

On the second day, news of the death of a steward of the Gunpowder Workshop came back to the palace.

Li Shimin said angrily, "Check it out! Check it carefully!"

It was the consensus of the entire Tang Dynasty that the gunpowder shop produced thunderbolts. The stewards were not of high rank, but they were able to come into contact with artillery and gunpowder manufacturing methods.

Judging from the search situation, thousands of coins have been found in his home, and it is obvious that he has been bribed.

So, right now there is a problem in front of Li Shimin.

Has the formula for the cannon been stolen?

There was also a lot of discussion in the court, and this kind of news couldn't be concealed at all, because the identity of the dead person was too special.

Those officials who had been wanting to contact Gunpowder Workshop before were very nervous at the moment.

To say that the one with the ugliest face must be Zhang Xingcheng, the current head of the Gunpowder Workshop, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Zhang Xingcheng bowed down and cried: "Your Majesty, I have a heavy trust, please die!"

It's too serious to say that this matter is too big. As soon as the Tubo people left Beijing, one person in charge of the gunpowder workshop died?
Li Shimin frowned, and kept beating on the dragon case with his fingers.

"Your Majesty, it has been found out that Wu Feng, the manager of the Gunpowder Workshop, did secretly write down a recipe for making gunpowder!"

Dai Zhou went to the palace to report the case, and the ministers were noisy, and Li Shimin couldn't help shouting: "You bastard!"

really lost!

"Go and check for me. I want to know if there are still people colluding with the people in the gunpowder workshop with the intention of obtaining the blueprint for making gunpowder! Also, go and recover the secret of gunpowder sent by the steward!"

"Yes!"

Dai Zhou hurriedly took the order to resign, if he stayed in the hall again, he might not know what would happen.

"I really didn't expect that King Qin's words would be fulfilled in less than half a month. Before that, the secret of gunpowder has already been spread?"

Facing all the officials, Li Shimin asked in a cold voice.

Baiguan replied, "I don't know, Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Quiet your anger? How to calm your anger? Come and tell me, if Tubo and Goguryeo have artillery, how will we, Tang Dynasty, deal with ourselves?"

There is another sentence that Li Shimin didn't say, that is, if the aristocratic family has the artillery system, is Chang'an really safe?
All the officials knew it well, and naturally understood that His Majesty's words had other meanings.

Dai Zhou led the people around and ran around for three consecutive days, and finally found a clue.

Wu Feng, the manager of the Gunpowder Workshop, met a masked man in a garden some time ago.

As soon as he got the news, Dai Zhou led people to the garden.

"Give it to the girl who entertained Wu Feng before, I have something to ask!"

"Dai Siqing, this is"

"Don't talk nonsense with me, no matter who is in this place, you have to hand over to someone, otherwise the people behind you will not be able to keep your head!"

The old bustard in the garden saw Dai Zhou's tough attitude, and it must be that something serious happened.

Not daring to be sloppy, he hurriedly sent someone to look for it.

A girl named Cui Yuan came, with a slight fear on her face.

"The slave family is Cui Yuan, what do you need the slave family to do?"

He has a good figure, but his face is not so good, but he is in charge of a gunpowder workshop, and there is no possibility of spending a lot of money.

Dai Zhou asked, "When was the last time Wu Feng looked for you?"

"Seven days ago, he said he would take me out of here immediately."

"Is there any mysterious person who came here with him?"

"."

"Ask you what! Just say what you say!"

"Yes! It seems that there is an illness on the face, and it has been wearing gauze, so it can't be seen clearly at all."

Dai Zhou and Li Ke asked, "Then do you know the name of that man?"

Cuiyuan shook her head and said, "I don't know, but Wu Feng called him Mr."

"gentlemen?"

The clue was interrupted. When Dai Zhou reported to the saint, there was a lot of sweat on his forehead.

Unable to find out, looking for a needle in a haystack, because the word "masked" has completely become Dai Zhou's nightmare.

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

I don't know when, there have been rumors that the gunpowder workshop was stolen, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

The common people all said angrily: "It's such a heavy weapon, why don't you say take good care of it?"

They know better than anyone what kind of disputes will be caused after the artillery system is taken away by the gangsters, and it will even eventually lead to war.

As soon as the spies sent back to Chang'an by Lu Dongzan heard the news, they rushed back to report to Lu Dongzan.

At that time, Lu Dongzan's expression was so ridiculous that he could stuff a whole steamed bun into his mouth in disbelief.

He couldn't help but not believe it, Mr. Gou told him to send someone back to Chang'an to wait for the news, maybe it was the news he was waiting for.

In this way, isn't the method of making gunpowder already in the hands of Mr. Gou?

A faint flame of hope ignited in Lu Dongzan's heart. If he could bring this thing back to Tubo, it would be much more beneficial than marrying a Tang princess!

Tubo is not only surrounded by the Tang Dynasty, but also Tianzhu and Nanzhao.

A sharp weapon for defending a city, isn't it a sharp weapon for attacking a city?
