Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Chapter 88 Kill me first
Seeing that both Qin Liu and Cui Shiwei had serious expressions, Zhu Yue said calmly: "The advantage of the Mongolian army is that its cavalry is as fast as lightning. The red cannons are extremely heavy and expensive to manufacture. We in the Ming Dynasty have a hard time making cannons, not to mention their poor people." Grassland Khan Court? Stop worrying unfoundedly."

Cui Shiwei's mustache trembled, and he frowned and said, "That's the case, we must also be prepared, just in case."

"It's natural."

Cui Shiwei didn't say anything more and stepped back first.

However, Zhu Yue stopped him and said with a serious face: "Mr. Cui, please keep your words in mind. Shopkeeper Liu is my person, and I don't want to hear any unfavorable rumors about her."

Cui Shiwei sighed slightly: "The prince has already told me, sir, please don't worry."

Qin Liu looked at Zhu Yue anxiously, feeling that he had gotten into a big trouble.

Zhu Yue pondered for a moment with a gloomy expression on his face before coming back to his senses and jokingly said with a smile: "The Mongolian Khan's court once ruled our Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years. Didn't they accumulate the next gunpowder formula? Why do you have to put the responsibility on yourself? "

Qin Liu shook his head: "I said this, and it was my duty to ask the little mute to ask for some Glauber's salt and sulfur."

Zhu Yue stopped dwelling on this topic and simply said, "If you're not sleepy, why not come and try my tea-making skills."

Why isn't Qin Liu sleepy in the middle of the night?But the matter was not resolved, and she felt uneasy, so she stayed.

Zhu Yue boiled water to wash cups and make tea.The special small metal tea stove, exquisite silver charcoal, exquisite silver teacups and teapots all reflect the sophistication and taste of his life.

Qin Liu also had a set of exquisite outdoor tea-making equipment before crossing over, but compared with Zhu Yue's equipment, it was still a little less refined and elegant.

She couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself.

The two drank three cups of tea in silence, and she left.

……

When Qin Liu got up the next day, Xiao Tao handed her a box: "The young master asked me to give it to you before he left..."

Zhu Yue has left?

Qin Liu fell weakly on the bed.

She felt like she had caused a huge disaster.

Qin Liu quickly got up and went out, angrily looking for the little mute, and Xiao Tao followed her.

The little mute was practicing archery in front of the yurt. He didn't react when he saw her coming, and his archery movements were sinister.

Qin Liu suddenly felt a little lack of confidence.The little mute shot her with an arrow.

She stammered and spoke: "Baalsbrot, you, what do you want so much Glauber's salt? Do you want to fight to the Ming Dynasty and kill Old Man Li, Da Lang Erlang and the others?!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and her subsequent words had a questioning tone.

The little mute's bow and arrow turned towards her as expected.

Qin Liu was too frightened to move.

The little mute suddenly pointed the arrow tip upward and shot the arrow.

Qin Liu patted his chest gently and breathed a sigh of relief.

"what!"

Qin Liu heard a sudden scream from Xiao Tao behind him and quickly looked back.

My Longevity!
An arrow was inserted into a pure gold centerpiece on Xiao Tao's bun. The bun was scattered. Xiao Tao was so frightened that her face turned pale and she sat limply on the ground.

Qin Liu quickly stepped forward to comfort Xiao Tao, pulled out the arrow from her distraction, and turned to find the little mute to argue.

As soon as she raised the arrow in front of the little mute, the little mute pinched her wrist.

He was so strong that Qin Liu couldn't move his hands.

The veins on Qin Liu's face were exposed, and he glared at the little mute: "I really misjudged you, you are really an executioner!"

The little mute's face was cold: "So, you Ming would rather not make the deal than sell Glauber's salt and sulfur to us?"

Qin Liu was stunned for a moment, not expecting such a result.The corners of the little mute's lips curled up with a hint of anger: "What is the relationship between you and Zhu Yue?"

Qin Liu did not lose his momentum: "What does this have to do with you?"

The little mute loosened his grip on Qin Liu's wrist, then bent his bow and aimed an arrow at Xiao Tao, who was still lying on the ground.

Qin Liu shouted: "Are you crazy?!"

He quickly blocked the little mute's bow and arrow.

The tip of the arrow was only a few inches away from her chest. As soon as the little mute let go, the arrow would hit her in the chest.

"If you want to massacre innocent civilians in Ming Dynasty, kill me first!"

She and the little mute looked at each other coldly, and then slowly closed their eyes.

Qin Liu opened his eyes again when he heard the sound of footsteps leaving.The little mute had turned and left, and Xiao Tao, who was not far behind him, started to cry.

Qin Liu didn't feel like he was surviving the disaster, but felt a little empty in his heart.

She could clearly see the unwillingness, anger, and deep resentment in the little mute's eyes just now.

In the following days, Cui Shiwei and Aheima held several negotiations and discussions again, and the two parties finally reached an agreement: tea and salt, cloth and Chinese medicinal materials, grain in exchange for Mongolian horses, and other miscellaneous items.

However, there is no Glauber's salt or sulfur in the Chinese medicinal materials, not even one or two.

Qin Liu often went out for walks with Xiao Tao in the yurt, and occasionally went to the Mongolian camp in the north. However, she never saw the little mute again.

Once the transaction plan is confirmed, all that remains is the delivery of the items.

Ten thousand horses had to be transported to the Mongolian-Ming Dynasty border, and more than 10,000 kilograms of tea, salt, cloth, grain and other items also had to be transported to the grassland. The camp became more and more lively.

Arriving with the first group of horses was Prince Urus, the second son of Dayan Khan.

Qin Liu, Old Man Lou and Cui Shiwei received Prince Urus as their counterparties, and both parties held a sumptuous welcome feast.

Urusgao sat on the north side, Ahema sat on the table next to him, and a little Mongolian girl in brocade robe sat on the table on the other side.

Qin Liu and others sat facing north and raised their glasses frequently.

After three rounds of drinking, Urus said happily and with a bit of regret: "I don't know where Bals has gone. The most beautiful flower in our Khan Court has come here, and he has not come to greet him."

Ahema said: "Prince Bals suddenly left, and I don't know where he went." He turned to Qin Liu with unclear eyes: "Maybe Shopkeeper Liu knows."

Qin Liu rubbed his back molars.She realized that the consequences of washing the little mute's hair with her own hands at the door of the yurt were revealed.

Everyone thought that her relationship with the little mute was unusual.

This is also her fault. After coming to the grassland, especially after she was out of danger of being eaten by wolves, she acted too freely.

The little Mongolian girl in brocade robes looked at Qin Liu deeply, which made Qin Liu feel a little scared.

Xiao Tao, who was pouring wine for Qin Liu, said in her ear: "That lady is hostile to you."

Qin Liu smiled bitterly to himself.

Since she stopped the little mute's arrow last time, Xiao Tao suddenly became much more enthusiastic and proactive towards her, and also much more sincere, almost like a master and servant.

Qin Liu didn't care about Xiao Tao's attitude.

Whether it was Old Man Lou, Little Mute or Xiao Tao, they all had only a short-term fate to get along with her.

When we get together, she plays her role as well as possible.

Qin Liu asked Xiaotao about her monthly salary and other benefits in Xuan Mansion, and said that he would provide her with the same benefits.

Xiao Tao shook her head: "The young master said that my monthly salary will continue to be distributed."
