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

Chapter 245 What about playing monkeys?
With the boatman Lao Lu escaping, it was absolutely impossible for Li Feng to row back alone. After much thought, Liu Tongyou sent two soldiers who were familiar with water to follow Li Feng.

Li Feng was afraid that the matter would be exposed and ended early, so he said: "I'm afraid this won't work. General, your soldiers don't know where the boat stopped. What if they are caught?"

"What should we do? Only Lao Lu knows the way now, but this old boy jumped into the river."

At this time, a soldier at the stern of the ship shouted: "Found it, found it, found this old boy."

Amidst the shouts, Lao Lu, who had jumped into the river before, was caught. After jumping into the river, the old boy was dragged to the stern of the boat, waiting for an opportunity to escape. In this dark Yangtze River, no matter how courageous Lao Lu was, he would not dare to jump into the river.

When Lao Lu was brought back, he felt relieved when he saw that Li Feng was fine. If Li Feng was killed, he would basically be dead. If Li Feng was not dead, then nothing would happen to him.

"Lao Lu, you said you are so timid and jump into the river whenever something happens. Why didn't I think you were so timid before?"

Lao Lu didn't say anything, but Sima Xiaonan said: "Okay, okay, go and come back quickly."

Li Feng and Lao Lu got on the boat, loaded the money with them and sailed into the darkness. Watching their departure, Chen Shujian picked up the musket and played with it.

"This thing looks weird. How can it be so powerful?"

"Your Highness, this is made using the Mo family's mechanism technique. It's very magical. Look at it, it doesn't look like a knife or a sword."

"Yeah, it doesn't look like a gun. Why is it called a musket, not a fire knife, or a fire sword? Come on, try all these things, don't rush in with the garbage."

"Your Highness, what will we do later? We have given him so much silver. If we take it away, we won't be able to get it back."

"This guy is a character. I like him very much, but if he dares to point a weapon at me, it's impossible to spare his life. I'll kill him after confirming that the next batch of goods can be used."

When Li Feng heard the gunshots behind him, he knew that these people were starting to test the guns, so he urged Lao Lu and said, "Lao Lu, we have to hurry up."

The boat stopped after a while, not at the shore, but at a dark ship on the river bank.

Such a dark ship is very difficult to identify at night.

Li Feng hurriedly boarded the ship: "Your Highness, bring back the silver. How are your preparations going?"

"The army has landed ashore and is trying to find a way to outflank it. As long as its position is determined and it doesn't move, it won't take long to outflank it."

"They are still waiting for our second batch of firearms, and they will definitely not move for a short time. I lied to them before and said that there is a quarter-hour interval between firearms. I must go back within this time, otherwise I may be discovered."

"Go quickly with these guns, another ship is approaching there."

"Your Highness, there is another very important thing. Sima Xiaonan and Changsha King Chen Shujian are both on board."

"Are you sure?"

"Sima Xiaonan is definitely right. What Chen Shujian said is because they all call him the King of Changsha."

"Okay! Okay! Originally, the worst plan this time was to make some money, and the best plan was to catch Sima to solve the problem. Now it seems to be better than expected, God help me."

Yang Guang became excited in a rare moment: "Hurry, go back quickly."

Soon Lao Lu and Li Feng went back with two small boats.

When they saw the two of them coming back so quickly, Sima Xiaonan and others became suspicious: "What's going on? Can they come back so fast?"

"I don't know if it's a scam."

"Pull it up first and take a look."

As the box was pulled up, one was opened and it was indeed a gun.

Liu Tongyou asked in confusion: "Why are you coming and going so quickly?"

Li Feng replied calmly: "I thought about it for a long time. I couldn't complete this transaction alone, so I persuaded two soldiers to do it with me. In fact, we came with a total of four boats, and I used one first. Come here and go back with the money, and the boat behind is waiting with muskets. When all the transactions are completed, the few of us will just take the money and go down the river to find a place no one knows to hide."

Listening to such a careful plan, Chen Shujian couldn't help but nodded. This was more like what a bold and careful person should do. If it were a blind person, this would be more like deceiving them.

But no matter how careful the plan is, they can't stop them from being moral in the first place. "Come on, try all the guns."

bang bang bang bang bang
The gunfire rang out, but it was to report the position of Yang Guang's elite troops who were approaching in the dark, so that they would not go in the wrong direction.

After all the muskets were tested and ready to be fired, Chen Shujian immediately started laughing ferociously: "My little brother is indeed very human. He has made such a powerful musket. I like muskets very much."

"Then please, His Highness the King of Changsha, keep your promise and give me the money."

"Yinzi, do you think money is more valuable or life is more valuable?"

"Your Highness, what do you mean by that?"

While he was talking, the soldiers around him showed their weapons and started to kill Li Feng.

The moon is dark and the wind kills the night.

Li Feng immediately shouted: "Wait, without me, these muskets are all useless."

"stop!"

Chen Shujian immediately shouted to stop, and the soldiers around him gave up, but they still maintained their posture.

I don't know whether Li Feng's words are true or false, but there can't be any room for error in the matter of the muskets, otherwise everything will be in vain, and Chen Shujian had to stop.

"What do you mean?"

Li Feng said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "You can try and see if these muskets can still be used?"

Sensing something was wrong, Chen Shujian gave Liu Tongyou a look. Liu Tongyou then walked over and picked up the gun he had shot earlier. It should have been almost a quarter of an hour by now. He put on the match rope and threw the iron ball in. , ready to shoot.

But until the match rope burned out, no gunshot was fired, and no bullets were fired.

"What's going on, what's going on here?"

"It's not even quarter of an hour yet."

Chen Shujian immediately understood that what Li Feng said was true. He walked closer and said with a smile: "Little brother, is this gun of yours a defective one?"

"Of course not, they are all proven good products."

"Then why didn't it work?"

Li Feng said: "Give me the money and I will tell you."

"Little brother, if you don't say anything, you will be buried with these muskets."

Li Feng glanced at the muskets sideways and said, "These muskets are made by the Mo family's mechanical skills, and the steel balls used in matching them are also the same. If they are not matched, they will not be able to fire."

"Are you kidding us?!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Changsha, I just said that we used four small boats to come here, three of which were to transport muskets, and the last one that has not arrived is to transport ammunition. I also want to save my life. As long as I go back with the money, the ammunition will be delivered immediately. It will be delivered and I will never break my promise.”

Only then did Chen Shujian realize that Li Feng was so prepared that he dared to do this business, and he was really powerful.

Sima Xiaonan said quietly: "Your Highness, part of the money has been given away. If we don't give the money now, these things will be useless iron and wood in our hands. Although I know that it is unpleasant to be plotted, Your Highness , for the sake of the overall situation, let’s give it.”

Chen Shujian had no choice but to finally say: "I can give it, but you stay. The boatman will call for the last boat to come, and he will be released when the boat arrives."

"They won't come here until they see me."

"Then let them stop coming! From now on, you have no right to bargain with me!"
