Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 138 Negotiation

Chapter 138 Negotiation
"This inn is not bad, why not just this one." Xiao Lian scratched her bearded cheek and said.

The windows of the inn are bright and clean, and the front door is spotless, which looks pleasing to the eye.

"Okay." Shen Zhihe nodded, and as soon as the two of them stepped up the steps, a Ming army soldier posted a notice on the street behind them.

"It turned out that the imperial court was looking for volunteers to transport grain and grass carts."

"Let's go, the Ming army is the army of destiny..."

Several people walked by discussing one after another.

Shen Zhishi turned his head and glanced, walked to the inn and said to the shopkeeper: "I want two rooms, preferably on the top floor with a wide view, and the price is easy to negotiate."

The shopkeeper put down the brush in his hand, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "The fifth floor is the top, and there are exactly two guest rooms, but the guest officer has to pay twice as much."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Lian next to her put Zhang Daming's Tongxing treasure note and slapped it in front of the innkeeper.

"Oh, these two masters came from the capital, and the Daming banknote is a rare thing. Mada, please go upstairs."

Daming treasure banknotes are common banknotes in Nanjing City and the Jiangnan area, but not long after Fengxiang was occupied by the Ming army, Daming treasure banknotes are still a rare thing for Fengxiang.

"Hey, son of a bitch, clean up the guest room on the top floor."

The waiter put a sweat towel on his shoulders, and quickly walked to the counter with hot water.

"Okay, two rooms, right? Please go upstairs, sir."

Knowing whether Shen paid the rent, he and Xiao Lian followed the waiter up to the top floor.

There are windows on all sides on the top floor of the inn, and you can have a panoramic view of half of Fengxiang City, and you can clearly see the camp of the Ming army.

"Miss is really smart, I can see their big camp here." Xiao Lian rustled out the things in the bag, and there were some dry food inside.

"Xiao Lian, you forgot again." Shen Zhipu opened the window and said angrily.

"Master." Xiaolian changed her words: "We sent the coachman away, and you are not allowed to follow the Shen family's carriage. What will you do in the future?"

"Don't worry about these, you go and ask Dajun to stay here for a few days, and check if there are any Jiangnan snacks by the way."

These days they ate all pasta, and they were not used to it, so the first thing they did was to arrange for Xiaolian to go out.This girl is very clever, she is not worried.

Looking from a distance, the banner of the Ming army camp was fluttering in the wind, and the soldiers were doing their own things in an orderly manner.

In the training ground of the Fengxiang military camp, Zhu Biao let out an angry roar, holding a spear in his hand and piercing into the heart of the wooden man in front of him.

The spear pierced through the wooden man and trembled a little. Behind him, Zhu Di also held a single knife and slashed towards the wooden man with all his strength.

The names of Emperor Yuan Shun are all on the wooden figures.

Xu Miaowei, who was standing next to him, walked up to Zhu Biao and said, "It's not right here. When stabbing the wooden man, the dark force is emitted through the spear."

Zhu Biao nodded, and when he turned his head and was about to let Zhu Di stop for a while, he felt very happy.

"Fourth, where's the head and legs of the wooden man?"

"It's not." Zhu Di pointed to the ground, as if he wasn't enjoying himself.

Zhu Biao looked down and saw sawdust and pieces of wood all over the ground, this guy just chopped up the puppet.

…………

Ever since Fengxiang sieged the city, Zhu Biao has put on a lot of military training. Apart from eating, he will fight with Xu Miaowei at night to gain experience.

"His Royal Highness, General Xu invites you to discuss matters." Zhao Yunsheng ran over with a big helmet and heavy armor to report.

Stepping into the big tent, I heard the voices of Chang Yuchun and Xu Da, and Liu Bowen was also on the side.

"His Highness is here." Lan Yu and Li Wenzhong helped Zhu Biao put the big chair.

Standing next to Xu Da, Xu Miaowei glanced at Zhu Biao, who was covered in sweat. These days, she seemed to be more heroic and brave than in the palace. She turned her head slightly, with a smile on her lips.

This scene was seen by Xu Da, and this girl in his family was really a big girl.

"Longzhou is a bit difficult. In front of the city is a huge deep ditch, more than three feet deep. It is the line of defense made by the Yuan army in Longzhou." Li Wenzhong said.

Xu Da shook his head: "In terms of numbers alone, our elite army is several times more elite than the Longzhou Yuan army, and has great advantages in firearms and bows and crossbows. As long as we cross the big ditch, we can easily do it."

Liu Bowen added: "According to the information brought back, the ditch is more than three feet deep and five feet wide. It is easily exposed during the day. Archery in the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is best to find a good time."

Zhu Biao obviously knew this too, and said, "Can we attack the city at night? This deep ditch will disperse our Ming army's strength. And late at night is the best time, when people are most sleepy and resistance is weakest." .”

"Then attack the city at night." Chang Yuchun stood up and said, "I'll prepare right now."

Chang Yuchun got up, hurriedly left the big tent, and prepared to attack Longzhou.

After much deliberation, Liu Bowen realized that he couldn't rely on the favorable location and harmonious people here. He could only rely on tonight to try it out, so he nodded and agreed.

……

……

Inn.

Did Shen know that seeing the soldiers in the camp suddenly start to get busy, he felt a little worried.

"Could it be that they are going to continue heading west again?" She grabbed the window with her fingers, and the handkerchief was also wrinkled.

She was thinking about whether she should leave the inn and continue to follow the army, and this thought flashed through her mind.

Deng Deng Deng!
There was a voice from the stairs, and Xiao Lian walked to the room out of breath, sat at the table, took a cup of tea and drank two sips of tea, and said, "Miss, miss."

"Wrong call again."

Xiao Lian put down her teacup, got up and went to the window and said, "Master, here are all selling big pancakes, steamed buns, and noodles, and we don't have Jiangnan snacks."

Seeing Shen Zhifu looking out of the window, she sat down leisurely: "I also inquired about the news, do you want to listen to it?"

"What news?" Shen knew whether to turn around.

Although she had a beard stuck to her chin, she was wearing Shen Qiancheng's clothes, and her face was smeared black and yellow, but her eyes were still eye-catching.

His eyes were full of anxiety: "Okay, don't be tricky, tell me quickly."

Xiao Lian smiled and said, "I heard from those people that the army is recruiting volunteers to deliver food and grass these days, and they are going to Gansu. Do you want to go?"

Shen Zhihe nodded without hesitation.

"But, my shoes are almost worn out. You see, I have lost a lot of weight in the past few days~"

Shen Zhi understood, this girl wanted to bargain with herself, so she smiled and said: "When the time comes back to Suzhou, you can choose the silk and satin as you like, and you can eat the delicacies of mountains and seas, it's not difficult...just."

After not seeing her speak for a long time, Xiao Lian became anxious and said, "It's just what~"

"I heard that your brother Mu is also there. If you don't go to Gansu, I will go. You won't be able to see him."

"Yeah~" Xiao Lian stood up and pouted, "Miss, I'm hungry."

"There is no rush to eat, let's go to the Ming army to deliver food and grass first." Shen Zhi said.

"Huh? It's so hard to transport food and grass, it's so far away, how can the lady bear it?"

Xiao Lian was right to be worried, after all, being a voluntary worker, not to mention the benefits, the journey to Gansu alone is not easy, her family has never suffered such a crime.

The old lady also said at the time that she would not be allowed to enter the palace in this life.

The two master and servant left the inn and walked towards the Ming army camp.

At this time, the sky has darkened.

Chang Yuchun ordered Sapphire and Guo Ying to go to Longzhou tonight.

 Thank you for your support, something happened today.Sorry for the late update.
