The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 341 Who is the Enemy
The lobby was finally quiet, only Liu Ren and Feng Haiou were left with Chen Zhao.

Liu Ren sighed: "Nephew Chen's miraculous skills are unrivaled in the world. I'm so impressed. It really is the waves behind the Yangtze River that push forward the waves ahead! By the way, are the master sisters and sister Xiaoyue all right?"

Chen Zhao smiled slightly: "Master and uncle are very good, and they are also concerned about uncle and many senior brothers. I heard that something happened to the Chuanshu Escort Bureau. The master was going to go down the mountain in person, but was caught by Uncle Xiaoyue and us as disciples." Stopped it, and the junior recommended himself, and went down the mountain to take care of the matter for the uncle."

Liu Ren shook his head and said: "Although this matter is troublesome, it's not enough to ask the head of the school to go down the mountain. I just didn't expect that the outside has not been resolved. There is something different in this escort agency. If the nephew didn't come in time, I am afraid that I will be killed." Get caught off guard."

Chen Zhao smiled and did not answer, but asked, "Dare to ask Master, what is going on with the Xingxingxia incident?"

He didn't wait for Liu Ren to answer, and continued: "I was ordered by my teacher to go down the mountain, so naturally I have to solve this matter thoroughly. In fact, it is good to be in troubled times. If we can't solve the relevant problems, we can still solve them." The person who caused the problem. Uncle Master, it doesn’t matter what you say.”

Liu Ren was not hypocritical, he let out a long sigh, his eyes were a little red, and said: "I have lost my fortune in this business. Fifteen brothers who have followed me for many years have died, and I have lost a batch of goods, and I have to lose money!"But at this time, Mr. Huo was bewitched by others and turned against me. "

Feng Haiou sat aside and told what happened.

It turned out that the big businessman from Sichuan and Shu had a batch of priceless brocades to sell to Biebali in the south of the Tianshan Mountains. The nobles there had already paid the deposit, so the big businessman here entrusted the Chuanshu Escort to deliver the goods.

The matter was of great importance, Liu Ren's brother Liu Ci personally led the team and set off with dozens of elite bodyguards. Given the well-trained training of these people, ordinary thieves would not dare to covet them.

Unexpectedly, when he traveled to Xingxing Gorge, he was robbed by local horse bandits.

Although most of the people were only injured, more than a dozen people died. Liu Ci hurriedly sent a letter to inform them.

This Shu brocade is very valuable, and the Sichuan Shu Escort cannot afford to pay it back, so this batch of brocade must be returned no matter what.

Feng Haiou said bitterly: "It is said that it is a horse bandit, but that area is where the Ruijin Banner, one of the Five Elements Banners of the Devil's Cult, is stationed. Besides them, who can rob so many batches of goods?"We entrusted an intermediary to come to our door to discuss the matter. Zhuang Zheng, the sharp gold flag holding the flag, was very arrogant. He asked us to take 1 taels of gold as an intermediary fee to help us get back the batch of Shu brocade. Can only make no loss.But if we don't pay, our Chuanshu Escort Bureau will suffer a lot. '

Chen Zhaodao: "I heard that the Demon Sect has very strict rules. Although there are people who commit crimes, as a group, they do no evil. Why did this Rui Jinqi do such an outrageous thing?" '

Feng Haiou said: "I heard from a prominent person in the Western Regions that Yang Dingtian, the leader of the Demon Cult, has been missing for many years, and many high-level officials want to compete for the position of leader. , The two sides have fought countless times to compete for the position of leader. If Zhuang Zheng wants to seize the position, he has to expand his power, and this is inseparable from money. Is there any business that can make money faster than killing people and stealing goods?"

Chen Zhao nodded and said, "In that case, then I'll go to the Western Regions. If it's what the Demon Cult did, I'll kill Zhuang Zheng."

Liu Rendao: "Nephew, be cautious. This Zhuang Zheng's martial arts is very strong, and he is considered the top in the Western Regions. His martial arts are no less than the Demon Sect's Bright Left Envoy Yang Xiao, and the White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng and the Golden-haired Lion of the Four Great Haired Kings." Wang Xiesun and others are on par, plus they are located in Xingxing Gorge, and they have the other four families of the Five Elements Banner as Austrian aid, so they are extremely powerful, even Yuan Ting turned a blind eye to them."

Chen Zhao said with a smile: "Uncle Master, can you confirm that the goods were indeed stolen by the Demon Sect Ruijin Banner?"

Liu Ren pondered for a moment, then pondered and said: "If you ask if there is any conclusive evidence, I naturally dare not guarantee that the Shu brocade worth hundreds of thousands will go to the Hexi Corridor. There must be many people who covet it. This line of road has been going on for more than ten years, and all the heroes along the line have established good relationships. Even the Demon Cult has given generous gifts. In the past, when they encountered thieves and lost goods, they were even members of the Demon Cult. The middleman and the old man get a commission from it, but now the 1 taels of gold is really a lion's mouth."

Feng Haiou said: "Further to the west of Xingxing Gorge, past Hamili and Hala Huozhou, is the Eastern Chahatai Khanate. Because the Chahatai Khans of all dynasties were very respectful to the Emperor Dayuan, the two sides mostly traded and traded. The Yuan court also has fewer government soldiers, so there are not many who are qualified and able to rob our Shu brocade."

"Even if it's not the Ruijin Banner, it's still the famous horse thief from the Western Regions, such as the Vajra Gate of the Subash Buddhist Temple at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the Vajra Sect of the Tibetan Border, the Thunder Word Gate of the Demon Sect, and Hamili's The horse bandit Atayi, the horse bandit Saikake from Hara Huozhou, and the Uighur horse bandit Wuyi Gul cannot get out of these factions."

Chen Zhao asked, "I heard that there are few wars over there, so why are there so many horse bandits under control?"

"No matter how powerful the king is, he is just a Tartar. How many means of governing the country can he have? It is already remarkable that the people below are not all horse bandits." Liu Ren sighed.

"That's true." Chen Zhao nodded and said, "Since that's the case, the disciple should leave as soon as possible. Even if he goes to heaven and falls to the earth, and his blood is flowing, he must get back this batch of Shu brocade."

What he said was an understatement, Liu Ren was terrified when he heard it, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "In fact, we also have friends in the Western Regions, who can provide information for Mr. Chen." '

He went on to say: "The Tianshan faction is in the territory of the Eastern Chahatai Khanate. Its leader is Kongzhao Daochang. His Chinese name is Zhang Fenggu, and his ancestral home is Jincheng. I have had friendship with him since we were young, and we have often communicated with him for many years, so He is very supportive of us, and if there is any disturbance in the Western Regions, he will notify our branch in Xingxingxia, and then notify us by flying pigeons."

Chen Zhao said with a smile, "It's fine if you have acquaintances."

He said to Liu Ren: "Uncle, if you don't mind the trouble, give me a detailed geographical map of the Western Regions. This disciple has long wanted to see the customs and customs of the Western Regions, and to taste Hamili's wine."

Liu Ren saw his posture of leaving as soon as he said it, and said in surprise: "Are you leaving now?"

Chen Zhao said with a smile: "It's not too late, it's better to do it early, uncle prepares something for me, I will go north to pass the Jiange today, enter the Hexi Corridor as soon as possible, and feel the desert wind and sand."

Liu Ren said: "Nephew, it's better to wait a day and prepare more things."

Feng Haiou also persuaded: "The Western Regions are not like the Central Plains. There are many Gobi deserts, and it is easy to fall into a desperate situation due to lack of food and water. Business travelers should also store more food and water."

Chen Zhao said with a smile: "Master, please rest assured, this junior will never die."

Seeing that he insisted on leaving, Liu Ren nodded and said, "Then we have to finish our meal before leaving!"

Chen Zhao nodded and said, "Alright, after dinner, I'll leave right away."
