Chapter 17 The Crane and Clam Controversy

Su Zhaoxue disguised herself as a middle-aged porter and followed Sima Lingyun all the way, changing her makeup a few times on the way.Sima Lingyun rented a carriage to stop and go, as if he was out on a trip, without any sense of urgency.Su Zhaoxue paid special attention on the way, but didn't see Zhang Bao at all.

After traveling for more than three months, Sima Lingyun stopped in a small town in Yuanzhou. This town was too small, with only one small inn, and usually only passing merchants lived there, and most of these merchants They will travel together. If one person lives in it for more than ten days, it will be too eye-catching.Sima Lingyun searched around the town and found a house to rent.

He put a monitor on Zhang Bao, and learned that Zhang Bao would trade gold with the Tatar king in this small town, and then ship it out of Jin.Yuanzhou is located in the northwest, and this small town happens to border the Tatar Kingdom.As long as you walk west for two hours, you will reach the territory of Tatar.There is only a small garrison of hundreds of people here, and there are many businessmen who come and go on weekdays.A group of strangers coming here will not attract attention at all.

Thinking that Zhang Bao hadn't come yet, Sima Lingyun began to explore the terrain and make preparations for an ambush in advance.After finishing these few days, he began to pay attention to the things that can be traded in this small town.

Su Zhaoxue was rented by a family diagonally opposite Sima Lingyun's, and went out with him every day to explore the terrain.After arriving here, Su Zhaoxue also guessed his intention.He is going to rob Zhang Bao and the others here.

Su Zhaoxue was also moved by the sum of gold.His heart is not that big yet, all of them were robbed.He only needs a quarter of it, because the secondary body of the trading system on his body can hold things, so it shouldn't be a problem to take the gold.

With this money, he can find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and build a big house for his retirement.No wonder he didn't pursue so much, he should have struggled too hard in his previous life, and his ambition has long since faded away.In this life, it’s not that he didn’t want to start a business with the knowledge in the original world. When he lived in the Hou’s mansion, he had no resources and no freedom. He had too much attention there, and if there was any change in himself, it would be widely spread. government.

After leaving the Hou's mansion, he met this fellow countryman who had traveled through time in Sanyuan Village, so he didn't dare to move first. If Sima Lingyun knew that his identity was ulterior motives, then his fate should not be too miserable. Not ancient, not to mention that Sima Lingyun still has such a big golden finger.Sima Lingyun will definitely be able to get along well, and it will be fine for him to follow behind and drink some soup.

Half a month later, a caravan of more than 200 people entered the town. On their carriages were large wooden boxes more than two meters high. There were more than 50 carriages and hundreds of boxes.This is the first time that such a large caravan has come to this small town.The only inn in the town couldn't accommodate people, so they rented a family's empty house and lived in it all.

The leader of this group of businessmen was Zhang Bao.Sima Lingyun was sitting in the tavern, looking at the big wooden box being moved in, grinning silently, sensing that someone was looking at him, he shut his mouth.

Su Zhaoxue, who was sitting in the tavern, took a look at Sima Lingyun and shook her head secretly. These more than 200 people were all strong and strong men.Although Sima Lingyun had a powerful weapon like a machine gun, he was alone, so he could be sure if he made a sneak attack, but if he fought head-on with this person.Using crowd tactics to block the guns can make Sima Lingyun mess up. It is not a problem to catch him, although he will break some good hands.

After Su Zhaoxue rehearsed how to catch Sima Lingyun in her mind, she felt that the matter was a bit uncertain, and that she might not succeed in robbing gold alone.

In the evening, Su Zhaoxue turned on the trading system to see if Sima Lingyun had traded items again.After seeing that Zhang Bao brought so many people, anyone who is not a fool will know that it must be reliable to rob by one person.Sure enough, he traded three more small intelligent remote-controlled aircraft, which were equipped with machine guns and 360-degree infrared electronic eyes.

After seeing this, Su Zhaoxue sighed again, if Sima Lingyun was given a hundred of these remote control planes, ruling the Jin Dynasty would not be a problem at all.In the era of cold weapons, the emergence of such hot weapons is really cheating, and there is no sense of accomplishment at all.

The next day, early in the morning, Zhang Bao took his guards and escorted Jin to the border of the town. The grassland here is flat and open, and the edge cannot be seen at a glance.There are not a single tree on the grassland, so it is impossible to hide people, and you can always detect the wind and grass at any time.

Zhang Bao waited for a while. It was time for the transaction. He hadn’t waited for the person sent by the King of Tartars. Not a single bird!Unable to wait any longer, Zhang Bao called his subordinates and decided to evacuate.

Who knew that before they started to act, a group of people surrounded by three sides from a hundred feet away suddenly appeared from the ground!Zhang He was shocked and was ambushed!Quickly beckon people to evacuate from behind.At this time, they saw a group of horses running towards them.The leader is Shang Xuanlie, the son of Prince Bei'an.

About three feet away from Zhang Bao, Shang Xuanlie said with a smile: "If you pass through the territory of Bei'an Prince's Mansion, you have to leave money to buy roads. Leave these boxes and you can go."

Shang Xuanlie was originally preparing for the wedding in the capital, but he received news from the King of Beian that there was a change in Tatar and that he was in collusion with the third prince.The third prince wants to use 10 taels of gold to lure the Tatars into the customs.Shang Xuanlie immediately put aside his marriage and rushed back. He had arrived in this small town more than a month ago. After finding out the place of the transaction from the secret report that was robbed, he had someone dig a trench, and all the soldiers hid in it waiting for Zhang Bao and his party. people.And the people sent by the King of Tatars had already been robbed and killed on the grassland by him.If it weren't for the great difference in appearance between the Central Plains people and the grassland people, he would definitely dress up as a Tatar envoy.

"It turns out to be the son of the world." Zhang Bao sighed. He had told the third prince that it was too dangerous to trade in the territory of King Bei'an, but the third prince said that all other places were the emperor's confidantes. It's even more dangerous.After seeing Shang Xuanlie, Zhang Bao secretly heaved a sigh of relief, being robbed by people from Bei'an Palace is like being known by the emperor.

"In this case, please accept the contents of this box with a smile. Please let us leave as promised."

"This son promises a thousand gold, please rest assured." Shang Xuanlie only wanted the 10 taels of gold, and never thought of killing people to silence him.What the third prince did was collaborating with the enemy and traitorous to the country, and it would be of no benefit to him if the news leaked out.Shang Xuanlie had already figured it out, and sending this group of people back to the capital could also leave some support for the third prince and create trouble for the emperor, which is really great.

Seeing that Prince Bei'an's son really had no intention of killing them, Zhang Bao was a little agitated. He waved his hand and told his subordinates to leave the carriage.Shang Xuanlie ordered to go down and let the soldiers of Bei'an Palace guard the carriage.Unexpectedly, after the deal between the two parties was completed, a group of thousands of light cavalry suddenly appeared in front from the direction of the Tatar Kingdom, and the leader was actually General Lu Chen of the Loushan Mansion.

Loushan Mansion is on the left side of Yuanzhou and also borders Tatar Kingdom.Take a shortcut across the grassland, and you can run back and forth in two days.Lu Chen is the confidant of His Majesty today, he and the Qingqi he brought were all dressed in black and blue bunts, without military flags and battle robes, probably because they didn't want to disturb the people in Bei'an Palace.When he saw Shang Xuanlie, he was surprised.Thinking of the emperor's secret order, Lu Chen said: "Please also ask the son of Prince Bei'an to leave. This general is following His Majesty's secret order to arrest the traitor."

When Shang Xuanlie thought that the 10 taels of gold that he was about to get would fly away like this, he felt unwilling, but now the Bei'an Palace could not openly oppose the emperor, so he ordered the soldiers of the Bei'an King to leave the carriage with a cold face.The third prince is so careless in doing things that idiot, his father actually found out about collaborating with the enemy!

It's not good, the emperor actually found out, Zhang Bao's eyes went dark after he saw Lu Chen clearly, and he felt cold all over his body.A stern look flashed across his eyes, he waved his hand, and ordered the two hundred attendants he had brought to charge towards Lu Chen. If they were caught back to the capital, they would probably die, but if they fought here, they might be able to Win a way out.As long as Lu Chen is caught, there is a slight chance of winning.

When Sima Lingyun arrived, he saw a group of people fighting in a scuffle. He was surprised by how many people there were, and decided to wait for the group to come to a conclusion before going out to deal with them.
