Start practicing from marrying a disfigured princess

Ren Pingsheng stood where he was, looking down at the prefect of Chanzhou from a high position, his expression remained the same, he just said: "I will send someone to verify what you said just now, if it is wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After speaking, he took out a pill from his bosom, threw it to him casually, and strode out of the room.

After a while.

He returned to the lobby, and Li Yong walked in without waiting for a while, clasped his hands and saluted, and said solemnly: "My lord, that man changed his name and claimed to be a barbarian. Killed in a dream, so no trace can be seen in reality..."

This time, the answer Li Yong got was basically consistent with what Chanzhou Tongzhi just explained.

"I didn't expect such a case to be related to the barbarians.

I don't know how much armor and weapons the barbarians have obtained from Chanzhou over the years. "

Ren Pingsheng thought so, looked at Li Yong, and ordered: "Take someone to Li Village, and go to Li Xiangxian's mansion to see how many armors and weapons there are."

Li Yong replied: "Yes, my son!"

After saying that, he turned to leave.

At this time, Ren Pingsheng stopped him again: "Wait a minute."

Li Yong stopped in his tracks and looked at Ren Pingsheng: "What else can you order?"

After thinking for a few seconds, Ren Pingsheng said seriously: "Let Bai Ping and Murong go to Chanzhou Port. Without the order of my son, no ship or anyone is allowed to leave!"

"Yes!"

Li Yong saluted again, turned and left.

…………

The next day.

Ren Pingsheng stood at the gate of Chanzhou Yamen, looking at the endless carriage without end in sight, his brows were slightly frowned.

These carriages are all armor and weapons brought back from Li Village.

Rough statistics.

The number far exceeds what the barbarian said before.

There are about [-] pieces of armor.

About [-] weapons.

It is no exaggeration to say that if so many armors and weapons were equipped for a rebel army, even Emperor Zhaowu would have to pay full attention to them.

If the Minister of the Ministry of War were to prepare so much luggage, he would have a headache for ten days and a half, but he might not be able to solve it.

Where does a small Tongzhi from Chanzhou have the ability and channels to get so many weapons and equipment?

Without thinking about it, he knew that there must be a higher-ranking mastermind behind him.

As for who.

It is still unknown.

Even Chanzhou Tongzhi himself didn't know.

Because he took the barbarian's silver and bought these weapons and armor from a mysterious merchant.

The mysterious merchant shipped the weapons and equipment to the designated place, and his people picked them up and handed them over to the port of Chanzhou.

The reason why it took so much trouble.

The reason is that so much equipment, when it arrives at the port of Chanzhou, will definitely attract the attention of the Yamen.

In order to ensure that these weapons can be delivered smoothly, the black hands behind the scenes wanted to launch the Lachan Prefecture Yamen and let them participate in it.

"It seems that the muddy water in Chanzhou is deeper than expected..."

Ren Pingsheng looked at the carriage in front of him, frowned, and muttered to himself.

Just now.

Suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps beside him.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yong came up and said in a low voice: "My lord, on the way back from escorting the weapons, I got a piece of news from the merchant."

Ren Pingsheng asked casually, "What news?"

Li Yong had a strange expression on his face, hesitant to speak.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Ren Pingsheng turned to look at him, frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Li Yong got closer, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The merchants from the capital said that half a month ago, His Highness suddenly sent troops south, captured several cities along the way, and killed dozens of court officials. The human head is hung on the city wall, and the people passing by can see it."

His Highness in his mouth has always only referred to one person, and that is King Zhenbei of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
That is, Ren Pingsheng's cheap daddy.

"Going south?"

Hearing this news, Ren Pingsheng was a little confused.

I am still within Emperor Zhaowu's control.

Cheap Dad sent troops to rebel?
If this is the case, wouldn't it be himself, the proton, who was unlucky first.

"The news is true?"

Ren Pingsheng looked at Li Yong and asked in a deep voice.

Li Yong nodded slightly: "The humble job has been secretly investigated, and the merchants' rhetoric is similar, and the news should be true."

"..."

The corner of Ren Pingsheng's mouth twitched and he fell into silence.

now.

A question popped up in his mind: "Can I still investigate this case in Chanzhou?"

After thinking for a few seconds.

He makes a decision.

Maintaining the status quo.

Dad is not a foolish fool.

In fact, when it comes to strategy alone, looking at Zhou, he is ranked second, and no one dares to be ranked first.

He chose to move south at this time, there must be his reasons, not necessarily rebellion.

Just wait and see for yourself.

Thinking of this.

Ren Pingsheng looked at Li Yong and ordered: "Send people to arrest all the Hu people who are related to this case in Chanzhou Port and send them to the capital. Shipping at Chanzhou Port will be suspended indefinitely. Fisherman, no one shall go to sea."

"Yes, prince!"

Li Yong responded, and after a little hesitation, he lowered his voice and asked, "My lord, should we make plans earlier?"

Ren Pingsheng waved his hand with a calm look, "This son has his own plans."

Hearing this, Li Yong said no more, and cupped his hands: "Resign from the humble job!"

…………

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Ren Pingsheng sat in the lobby of the Chanzhou Yamen, carefully reviewed the documents and accounts of previous years, and found that as early as four or five years ago, the Chanzhou Yamen had colluded with the barbarians.

I don't know how many armors and weapons have been transported over the years.

However, compared to before, the number this time is unprecedentedly large.

Because of this, it attracted the attention of the two new magistrates, and let the barbarians and Chanzhou know that they had to kill each other.

"I thought the barbarians had been quite peaceful these years. Apart from occasionally sending troops to harass the border, they didn't make any major moves. It turns out that they have been accumulating strength behind their backs. It really is wolfish ambition, so we have to guard against it."

Ren Pingsheng looked at the document in front of him and sighed in his heart.

at this time.

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.

A northern guard walked in quickly, with an anxious expression on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, something happened to Chanzhou Port!"

Ren Pingsheng looked at the northern guard, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The northern guards spoke very quickly, and said: "Several warships appeared from nowhere in Chanzhou port, carrying two or three thousand heavily armed barbarian soldiers, and occupied the entire Chanzhou area in less than a stick of incense. state port.

We were short of manpower, unable to deal with it at all, so we could only retreat. After the barbarians occupied the port, they began to plunder the local people and drive them to one place.

Treating them as a threat, they made a condition that the weapons and armor must be completely handed over to them in exchange for the people, otherwise they will kill all the people. "

Maybe it's because he hasn't recovered from the accident yet.

The guard's description is not concise.

But Ren Pingsheng still understood.

After a brief silence, he asked, "What strength are those barbarian soldiers?"

The guard thought for a while and replied: "If you come back to the son, most of them are eighth-rank, ninth-rank, and their actual combat ability is comparable to our elite cavalry in the north."

In other words, it is two or three thousand elites.

If this is the case, it is really not easy to quietly rescue the people from their hands.

Ren Pingsheng frowned slightly, and asked, "Where are they and the people now?"

The guard said: "They are all on board."

That being the case, if you want not to hurt the people, you can only do what those barbarians say.

after all.

He wanted to save such a huge number of common people from a group of two thousand elites.

Looking at the entire Great Zhou, I am afraid that only those two great scholars can do it.

But at this time, it is probably too late to send a letter to Daru.

Thinking of this.

Ren Pingsheng no longer hesitated, looked at the guards, and ordered: "Tell those barbarians, this prince can agree to their request and hand over the weapons and armor to them intact, but the premise is that they must ensure the safety of the people."

The guard obviously didn't expect his son to make such a decisive decision, he was slightly taken aback, hesitant to speak, and whispered: "My son..."

Ren Pingsheng knew what he wanted to say, and said indifferently: "At any time, a living human life is more important than cold armor and weapons..."

Speaking of this, there was a pause, and the voice became cold: "What's more, who knows, even if those barbarians get those weapons, they can bring them back to the Northland!"

Seeing his eldest son's calm appearance.

The guard suddenly gained confidence, and bowed his hands in salute: "The humble officer understands!"

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Ren Pingsheng watched his back gradually disappear. After thinking for a few seconds, he stood up and left the lobby of the yamen.

After half an hour.

Ren Pingsheng, Chang An, Jiang Chuyue, Bai Ping, Murong, five people gathered together.

"Two thousand elites, most of them are eighth-rank, ninth-rank, a small part of sixth-rank, seventh-rank... It is estimated that each of us will have to deal with 400 people."

Ren Pingsheng stood in front, looked around the other four people, and said in a very solemn tone, "If you think it can be done, then do as I just said, if not, then find another way."

just now.

He presented his ideas to the four of them.

Five people, riding a small boat, driven by spiritual power, chased the leaving warships, and recaptured the weapons and armor.

Doing so is very risky.

after all.

Even if they are all at the fifth rank, it is still difficult to deal with four or five hundred elite soldiers who are fully armed.

In particular, the barbarians are known for their fearlessness of death.

Maybe, the five of them failed to recover the weapons and armor in the end, but were damaged at sea instead.

Therefore.

Ren Pingsheng would only seek advice from the other four people.

The voice fell.

Not for a while.

Murong said calmly: "Okay."

then.

Ren Pingsheng saw that Chang An, who was veiled, also nodded.

Followed by Jiang Chuyue.

Her beautiful eyes were slightly bright, and her brows were full of anticipation. She smiled and said, "I've wanted to go to sea for a long time."

Between the words, those barbarians were completely ignored.

In this case, there is only the last one left.

Ren Pingsheng looked at the back of the white screen.

He was still dressed in white, standing straight on the spot, motionless, as if he didn't hear what Ren Pingsheng said just now?

"Master Bai?"

Ren Pingsheng called softly.

After a long time, a long exclamation sounded in the room.

"interesting……"

"..."

The corners of Ren Pingsheng's eyes twitched, thinking: Is this considered consent?
A moment of silence.

Seeing that Bai Ping didn't intend to speak again, Ren Pingsheng looked around and said seriously: "Since that's the case, this matter is settled like this. I'll send the armor and weapons to the port of Chanzhou. You follow me and wait for the opportunity."

"it is good."

"I listen to the prince..."

Several people all nodded.

The barbarians didn't give Ren Pingsheng too long.

According to their latest statement.

If they don't see those weapons and armor within a day, they will start killing people.

Every few hours, kill a group of people until all the people in the port and its vicinity are killed.

therefore.

noon.

Those weapons and armor were transported back to Chanzhou Port.

Because Li Yong and the northern guards were more or less injured.

The task of transporting weapons and armor fell on the Chanzhou City Defense Army.

It is not an exaggeration for these guys to say that they are gangsters.

Half an hour's journey can take a full hour.

In the end, a few corporal leaders who looked like hooligans were killed, and the speed of marching was much faster.

Riding on his horse, Ren Pingsheng looked at these soldiers of the City Defense Army and suddenly understood.

A few days after taking office, the previous prefects of Chanzhou had to apply to the imperial court for additional soldiers to be stationed here.

It is really that the Chanzhou City Defense Army is too useless to be used.

"You can see the whole leopard at a glance...Chanzhou is full of flowers in the entire eastern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the city is a little smaller, its population is not inferior to the major cities.

Such a place is rotten from the beginning to the end. It can be seen how poor the official administration of the Great Zhou Dynasty is. It is no wonder that Emperor Zhaowu would rather sign such an agreement with the Yaozu than withdraw his troops from southern Xinjiang to rectify the official administration. . "

Ren Pingsheng frowned slightly, thinking so in his heart.

Time passed by minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, it was already an hour later.

Came to Chanzhou port.

Looking around, compared to the previous few days, great changes have taken place here.

The outside of the port is covered with various wooden thorns, and further inside is a not-so-high wooden wall.

The merchant ships that used to fill the entire port are now few in sight.

It was replaced by a warship equipped with a large crossbow, and the sails on it fluttered with the sea breeze, and the momentum was extremely magnificent.

Even Ren Pingsheng, seeing these huge warships in person for the first time, couldn't help feeling a little shocked.

In this world, it is estimated that only the barbarians who are burly and huge and are close to the sea can build such a huge warship.

"I don't know how many barbarians have such warships. If there are enough, wouldn't they be able to cross the northern border, land from various ports, and attack Dazhou?"

Ren Pingsheng looked at these warships, and his eyes froze with such thoughts in his mind.

at the same time.

A barbarian came out of the port sideways on a tall horse, stopped not far from Ren Pingsheng, stared at him, and shouted: "Are you the imperial envoy from the capital of Dazhou?" (End of this chapter )
