Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 196 Collaboration Trade
At night, Yang Guang pretended to be drunk, and now he took Yang Yichen and Qin Qiong to talk by candlelight at night, while Yuan Tiantian waited behind Yang Guang.

"Qin Qiong, tell me about today's harvest."

Qin Qiong's face is flushed now. He is a generous person. He drinks with these local heroes and basically refuses anyone who comes. His character is like that of a hero. He is not old and has a surprisingly good capacity for drinking. After drinking, even though he is very drunk, On the face, but still awake.

Qin Qiong smelled of alcohol when she opened her mouth: "Your Highness, Prince Jin, I was drinking with this group of people. I told you about the things I learned about before, and then I learned more about it in depth. Two of them seemed to have the same name as Liu. My family is related to bandits."

"What is the Liu family?"

"There is a big merchant in Shuozhou City who is engaged in trade. The shopkeeper's surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Kuang. He has been in Shuozhou City for many years. From what they said, it seems that the Liu family has some relationship with the Yiyetan Buddha Kingdom. I drank with them both. When we ordered wine, the two of them couldn't drink enough, so they told me that they had worked in the Liu family and saw that Liu Kuang had connections with people from the Yiyetan Buddha Kingdom."

The two had a conversation, but after drinking, they spoke frankly and did not know the truth. Yang Guang said: "Tomorrow I will lead people to suppress the bandits. Along the way, you can get familiar with these two people and try to get as much useful information as possible, including their How can we confirm that the person Liu Kuang contacted is from the Yiye Tan Buddha Kingdom, and what is the specific relationship between Liu Kuang and the people from the Yiye Tan Buddha Kingdom."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Early on the next morning, Yang Guang showed off his image of the rich second generation again, decorating his horse in an extremely luxurious way. He couldn't help but sigh: "We have been together for a long time, and I am still very similar to what my elder brother has learned."

Yuan Tiantian pouted: "Your Highness, your arrogant and domineering look doesn't look like an act to me."

"You still haven't seen my normal self?"

"Usually, it seems like I'm hiding my clumsiness."

"Don't be so talkative, and be careful that I block your mouth."

The group of people set off immediately, and after passing Yanmen Pass, the team headed in the direction guided by the captured leader Wang Er with great fanfare.

After walking for two hours, Yang Guang ordered him to take a rest in the forest, cursing and saying: "It's too difficult to walk in this forest. My butt hurts from the bumps, so I can't even take a rest."

The efficiency of stopping and going was very low, but the village heroes became happy one after another. According to the efficiency of His Highness, he might not be able to find the bandit for more than ten days. If he couldn't find it, he would have to go back, and he could eat and drink. If you can make money again, just think of it as a spring outing.

While resting, Qin Qiong walked up to the two people who gave him the message yesterday, handed the water to them, and said boldly: "Brothers, drink some water first."

The two of them had a good relationship with Qin Qiong, so they took it and said, "Brother Qin Qiong, you work so close to His Highness the King of Jin and are treated well. You and I are so close to each other. Please help us both more in the future." ."

"The two brothers were joking. I was just lucky enough to work for His Highness. His Highness treats his subordinates very well. Don't look at my young age. I bought a house in Daxing City with all the money Your Highness gave me. You know Daxing City, the capital of our Sui Dynasty. The imperial city is grand and resplendent. I will have to marry two wives in two years."

Qin Qiong said that both of them are yearning for each other. Of course, this was not Qin Qiong's own thought. He was an upright man. Yang Guang and Yuan Tiantian thought of this for him. In order to say it naturally, he practiced it for a long time last night.

"Come on, little brother Qin Qiong, tell us what kind of place Daxing City is."

Qin Qiong only stayed in Daxing City for a few days, but he described the prosperity of Chang'an City in the simplest words, which made the two brothers even more yearning for it.

"Little brother Qin Qiong, do you think the two of us can go to Daxing City with your Highness? There is no way for a bird to shit in this big place like Shuozhou. How can we have any future? I have been here since I was born and have been living here for more than [-] years. I'm already [-] years old, and I've long been tired of it. If my parents and brothers hadn't run away earlier, I would have made the most money by following the King of Jin."

"Come on, if you have any way out, you will have to work hard wherever you go."

"That's why I asked His Highness King Jin if he would accept us. I have fought Turks before. The last time the Turks came, I fought with them several times with a gun."

The two of them were chattering to each other, but Qin Qiong interrupted them: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is a person who loves talents. If the two brothers can help the King of Jin, His Highness the King of Jin will definitely consider it."

The two looked at each other and said, "Brother Qin Qiong, please help us inform His Highness the King of Jin. We have news about Yi Ye Tan Buddha Kingdom and report it to His Highness, but don't let others see it."

Qin Qiong agreed immediately.

After giving the news to Yang Guang, Yang Guang was not in a hurry to see the two of them, but said: "When we camp at night, let the two of them be closer to me, and wait until everyone is asleep before bringing them to see me."

In the afternoon, with Yang Guang complaining about the slow march in the mountains and forests, he found a place to rest without walking far. Yang Guang also took people to hunt rabbits in the mountains and ate barbecue in the evening. The autumn outing is not about suppressing bandits at all. The atmosphere is very lively when we cook wine around the fire in the evening.

After everyone was full of wine and food, they began to fall asleep. Yang Yichen personally led people to watch the night.The two brothers were brought to Yang Guang's tent late at night. The tent was surrounded by soldiers, guarding them and observing whether there were any restless people at night.

"Two strong men, I don't know their names yet."

"Ma Yu, a common man, and Ma Fang, a common man, have met His Highness the King of Jin."

The two are cousins ​​of the same race and have a very good relationship.

"Qin Qiong told me that you two have news to tell me?"

The two brothers looked at each other and said with a smile: "We heard from little brother Qin Qiong that His Highness admired him very much, so we thought that we could serve His Highness and knew some news about the bandits in Yiye Tan Buddha Country, and we wanted to report it to His Highness. , it can make His Highness see it in a different light, and we also want to go to Daxing City to see what the capital of the Sui Dynasty was like."

The two of them spoke frankly. Yang Guang had no interest in such a small person, but he still said for the sake of information: "I have always been fair in my conduct, and the information is useful. I will be rewarded greatly for defeating the bandits." When you are able to contribute and make meritorious deeds, I will take you to Daxing City to see you, and you can be my personal guards in the future."

Yang Guang had a big meal of cake, and the two brothers started talking about it because it was so delicious.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, there is a merchant named Liu in Shuozhou City. His name is Liu Kuang. He is a big shot in our local area. He owns many businesses in the city. We two brothers have worked under him before."

"He asked us to transport several carts of stuff from Shuozhou City to a designated place in the pass. We didn't know what was in it. When we were transporting it through the pass, we showed the token to the soldiers guarding the pass, and the soldiers didn't understand. After checking, the two of us transported the things to the designated place and left without telling who the person was."

"It's a job every day and the pay is not bad. At first, the two of us did it happily, but Ma Fang was curious. After we had been doing it for a month, Ma Fang couldn't help but open it and take a look inside the car. What is it."

"There are beef, mutton, rice noodles, clothes, and even a few scimitars and armors inside."

"Both of us didn't know what this was for, so we hid to see who the contact was. Later, a few monk soldiers came, and we found out that Liu Kuang had been asking us to deliver supplies to the bandit monk soldiers from Yiyetan Buddha Kingdom. This It gave us a shock.”

"Although we two brothers say we have never read books, we still know the difference clearly. These bandits burned, killed, and looted, and did the most abhorrent things. Moreover, those scimitars and armors were the products of the Turks. We are the most I hated the Turks, so I didn’t dare to transport any more goods from that day on, so I found an excuse to shirk it, and I didn’t dare to report it to the official, as I couldn’t afford to offend the Liu family.”

Firstly, they couldn't afford to offend the Liu family, and secondly, the goods could enter the customs so easily. Obviously there was someone at Yanmen Pass, so they didn't dare to say anything. Now they only took the risk to speak because they saw a high-ranking official was there and wanted to gain glory and wealth.

Yang Guang didn't expect to receive such a big unexpected surprise. If the situation is true, it would be equivalent to investigating the causes and consequences of the bandits' acquisition of Turkic weapons and equipment. He had no clue two days ago. Today, in just a few words, Understood.

"Let Yang Yichen come in every day."

After Yang Yichen came in, Yang Guang whispered a few words to him, told him the ins and outs of the incident, and asked him to take someone back tomorrow to check on this Liu Kuang. It is very likely that this Liu Kuang was a person who traded with Turks, and he also brought a message to Yang. Cool, there is definitely something wrong with the Yanmen Pass defenders. Let’s start with the city gate guards who changed their defenses.

"Your Highness, if I take someone away tomorrow, where will it be from you?"

"I have my own plans and everything will be fine."

"it is good."

After arranging things, Yang Guang said to the two brothers: "Here are 50 taels of silver. This is a reward for your intelligence. There will be other rewards after the intelligence is verified. Also, you will be my subordinates, Yang Guang, from now on." I just can’t make it public, you continue to lurk among the crowd, and report any new directions to Qin Qiong, do you understand?"

The two brothers took 50 taels of silver to express their gratitude. They were very grateful for such an award. They were ordinary people. Giving a little information could earn them money that they couldn't earn in several years. If they didn't follow Yang Guang, they would follow. Who is messing around?

Early the next morning, Yang Yichen led his troops back first, and there was not much to go into battle with light equipment. The reason Yang Guang gave him was that his armor had been left in the city. It was not surprising that the absurd prince would do such an absurd thing. .

The team continued to move forward. Yang Guang walked slowly and leisurely along the way, and the team was clearly exposed in the mountains and forests.

While walking through a forest, there was sudden movement in the forest. A figure jumped down from the tree and said in a panic: "Run quickly, there are monk soldiers ambushing you ahead."

The panicked person was none other than the ranger Zhou Wu whom he had met before.

　I have created a subscription group. If you have not joined the group, you can add it.
