Start practicing from marrying the disfigured princess

Ren Pingsheng stood there, looking down at the prefect of Chanzhou from a high position. His expression remained unchanged, and he just said: "I will send someone to verify what you just said. If there is a mistake, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, he took out a pill from his arms, threw it to him, and strode out of the house.

After a while.

He returned to the lobby, and after waiting for a while, Li Yong walked in, bowed his hands, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, that man changed his name and claimed to be from the barbarian tribe. The two previous magistrates of Chanzhou were both fourth-level priests from the barbarian tribe. He was killed in a dream, so no trace can be seen in reality..."

This time, the answer Li Yong got was basically consistent with what the Chanzhou colleague had just explained.

“I didn’t expect that such a case would be related to the barbarians.

I don’t know how many armors and weapons the barbarians have obtained from Chanzhou over the years. "

Ren Pingsheng thought this, looked at Li Yong, and ordered: "Take someone to Li Village and go to Li Xiangxian's house to see how many armors and weapons there are."

Li Yong responded: "Yes, Crown Prince!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

At this time, Ren Pingsheng stopped him again: "Wait a minute."

Li Yong stopped and looked at Ren Pingsheng: "What else do you have to say, Your Majesty?"

After thinking for a few seconds, Ren Pingsheng said seriously: "Let Bai Ping and Murong go to Chanzhou Port. No ship or anyone is allowed to leave without my order!"

"yes!"

Li Yong saluted again, turned and left.

…………

The next day.

Ren Pingsheng stood at the door of Chanzhou Yamen, looking at the endless carriages with no end in sight, and frowned slightly.

Placed on these carriages were armors and weapons brought back from Li Village.

Rough statistics.

The number far exceeded what the barbarian said before.

There are about 30,000 pieces of armor.

There are about 50,000 weapons.

It is no exaggeration to say that if so many armors and weapons were equipped to a rebel army, even Emperor Zhaowu would have to be very alert and pay enough attention to them.

If the Minister of War was asked to prepare so much luggage, he would have a headache for ten days and a half, but he might not be able to solve it.

How could a small fellow from Chanzhou have the ability and channels to acquire so many weapons and equipment?

You don't need to think about it to know that there must be a higher-ranking mastermind behind him.

As for who.

It's still unknown.

Even Chanzhou Tongzhi himself didn't know.

Because he took the barbarians' money to purchase these weapons and armor from a mysterious goods dealer.

The mysterious cargo merchant transported the weapons and equipment to the designated location, and his people picked them up and transferred them to Chanzhou Port.

The reason why it takes so much effort.

The reason is that when so much equipment arrives at Chanzhou port, it will definitely attract the attention of the Yamen.

In order to ensure that these weapons could be delivered smoothly, the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to involve the Chanzhou Yamen and get them involved.

"It seems that the muddy waters in Chanzhou are deeper than imagined..."

Ren Pingsheng looked at the carriage in front of him, frowning and muttering to himself.

Right now.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps beside him.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yong came up and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, on the way back from my humble position of escorting weapons, I learned some news from a merchant."

Ren Pingsheng asked casually: "What news?"

Li Yong's expression was a little strange, as if he was hesitant to speak.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Ren Pingsheng turned to look at him and frowned: "What's wrong?"

Li Yong came closer and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "A merchant from the capital said that half a month ago, His Highness suddenly sent his troops south, conquering several cities along the way and killing dozens of imperial officials. The head is hung on the city wall and can be seen by the people passing by. "

His Highness always refers to only one person, and that is King Zhenbei of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

That is, Ren Pingsheng's cheap daddy.

"Send troops south?"

Hearing the news, Ren Pingsheng was a little confused.

He is still within the control of Emperor Zhaowu.

The cheap dad sent troops to rebel?

If that were the case, wouldn't it be himself, the proton, who would be the first to be unlucky?

"Is the news true?"

Ren Pingsheng looked at Li Yong and asked in a deep voice.

Li Yong nodded slightly: "The humble position has been secretly investigated. The merchants' stories are similar, and the news should be true."

"..."

The corners of Ren Pingsheng's mouth twitched and he fell into silence.

now.

A question popped up in his mind: "Should I investigate the Chanzhou case?"

After thinking for a few seconds.

He makes a decision.

Maintaining the status quo.

Dad is not a foolhardy man.

In fact, when it comes to strategy alone, looking at the Zhou Dynasty, he is ranked second, and no one dares to be ranked first.

He must have his reasons for choosing to send his troops south at this time, and it may not be rebellion.

Just wait and see what happens.

This is the thought.

Ren Pingsheng looked at Li Yong and ordered: "Send people to arrest all the Hu people in Chanzhou Port who are related to this case and send them to the capital. Shipping in Chanzhou Port will be suspended indefinitely, except for local people who make a living by fishing. Fishermen, no one is allowed to go to sea.”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Yong responded. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and asked, "Your Majesty, should we make plans early?"

Ren Pingsheng looked calm and calm, and waved his hand: "I have my own plans."

When Li Yong heard this, he said no more and held his hands in his hands: "I resign from my humble position!"

…………

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the next day.

Ren Pingsheng was sitting in the lobby of the Chanzhou Yamen, carefully reviewing documents and accounts from previous years, and found that as early as four or five years ago, the Chanzhou Yamen had colluded with the barbarians.

I don’t know how much armor and weapons have been transported over the years.

However, compared to before, the number this time was unprecedentedly large.

Because of this, it attracted the attention of the two newly appointed prefects, causing the barbarians and Chanzhou to kill and silence them as a last resort.

"I thought that the barbarians were relatively peaceful these years. Apart from occasionally sending troops to harass the border, they did not make any big moves. It turns out that they have been accumulating strength secretly. They are really ambitious and must be guarded against."

Ren Pingsheng looked at the documents in front of him and sighed in his heart.

at this time.

A burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded.

A northern guard walked in quickly, with an anxious look on his face, and reported: "Your Majesty, something happened at Chanzhou Port!"

Ren Pingsheng looked at the northern guard, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The northern guard spoke very fast and said: "Several warships appeared out of nowhere at the Chanzhou port, carrying two to three thousand fully armed barbarian soldiers. They occupied the entire Chanzhou in less than a stick of incense. state port.

We were short of manpower and unable to respond at all, so we had to retreat. After the barbarians occupied the port, they began to plunder the local people and drive them to one place.

Treating them as a threat, they made a condition that the weapons and armor must be handed over to them completely in exchange for the people, otherwise they would kill all the people. "

Maybe he still hasn't recovered from the accident.

The guard's description was not succinct.

But Ren Pingsheng heard it quite clearly.

After a brief silence, he asked: "What are the strengths of those barbarian soldiers?"

The guard thought for a while and replied: "As for the prince, most of them are eighth or ninth grade, and their actual combat capabilities are comparable to our elite cavalry in the north."

In this way, there are two to three thousand elites.

If this is the case, it will not be easy to rescue the people from their hands quietly.

Ren Pingsheng frowned slightly and asked, "Where are they and the people now?"

The guard said: "They are all on board."

In this case, if you want not to harm the people, you can only do what the barbarians say.

after all.

He wanted to save such a large number of people from the hands of two thousand elites.

Looking at the entire Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that only those two great scholars can do it.

But at this time, it was probably too late to send a message to the great scholar.

This is the thought.

Ren Pingsheng no longer hesitated, looked at the guards, and ordered: "Tell those barbarians that I can agree to their request and hand over the weapons and armor to them intact, but only if they ensure the safety of the people."

The guard obviously didn't expect that his prince would make such a decisive decision. He was slightly startled, and looked like he was hesitating to speak, and softly called out: "Your prince..."

Ren Pingsheng knew what he wanted to say and said calmly: "At any time, a living human life is more important than cold armor and weapons..."

At this point, he paused and his voice became cold: "What's more, who knows, even if those barbarians get those weapons, they can bring them back to the North!"

I saw my eldest son looking calm and calm.

The guard suddenly gained confidence and saluted with his hands raised: "I understand your humble position!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ren Pingsheng watched his figure gradually disappear. After thinking for a few seconds, he stood up and left the lobby of the Yamen.

Less than half an hour later.

Ren Pingsheng, Chang An, Jiang Chuyue, Bai Ping and Murong, five people gathered together.

"Two thousand elites, most of them are in the eighth or ninth grade, with a few in the sixth or seventh grade... It is roughly estimated that each of us has to deal with four hundred people."

Ren Pingsheng stood in front, looking around the other four people, and said in a very solemn tone: "If you think it can be done, just do what I just said. If it doesn't work, think of another way."

just now.

He presented his ideas to four people.

Five people, riding in a small boat, driven by spiritual power, chased the departing warships and recaptured the weapons and armor.

Doing so is very risky.

after all.

Even if they are all at the fifth level of perfect cultivation, it is still difficult to deal with four to five hundred fully armed elite soldiers.

In particular, barbarians are known for their bravery and fearlessness.

It is uncertain that the five of them failed to recover their weapons and armor in the end, but were damaged at sea.

Therefore.

Ren Pingsheng would only seek advice from the other four people.

The words fell.

Not a moment.

Murong said lukewarmly: "Okay."

Then.

Ren Pingsheng saw that the veiled Chang An also nodded.

Following closely was Jiang Chuyue.

Her beautiful eyes shone slightly, and her brows were full of anticipation. She smiled and said, "I have long wanted to go to the sea to play."

As he spoke, he didn't take those barbarians seriously at all.

In this case, only the last one is left.

Ren Pingsheng looked at Bai Ping's back.

He was still dressed in white, standing straight on the spot, motionless, as if he didn't hear what Ren Pingsheng said just now?

"Master Bai?"

Ren Pingsheng called softly.

After a long time, a long sigh sounded in the room.

"interesting……"

"..."

The corners of Ren Pingsheng's eyes twitched and he thought: Is this considered consent?

There was a moment of silence.

Seeing that Bai Ping had no intention of speaking again, Ren Pingsheng looked around and said seriously: "In this case, this matter is settled. I will have the armor and weapons sent to Chanzhou Port. You will follow me and wait for the opportunity to act."

"good."

"I listen to the prince..."

Everyone nodded.

The barbarians did not give Ren Pingsheng too long.

According to their latest statement.

If they don't see those weapons and armor within a day, they will start killing people.

Kill a group of people every few hours until all the people in and around the port are killed.

therefore.

Noon.

The weapons and armor were transported back to Chanzhou Port.

Because Li Yong and the northern guards were more or less injured.

The task of transporting weapons and armor fell on the Chanzhou City Defense Army.

These guys are not exaggerating at all when they say they are drunkards.

The journey of half an hour can take up to a full hour.

In the end, they killed a few of the gangsters who looked like ruffians, and the speed of their march became much faster.

Ren Pingsheng was riding on his horse and looking at the soldiers of the city defense army, he suddenly understood.

A few days after the previous governors of Chanzhou took office, they had to apply to the court for additional soldiers to be stationed here.

It is true that the Chanzhou city defense army is too useless and cannot be used for much purpose.

“You can tell the whole thing just by looking at one spot… Chanzhou can be said to be full of flowers in the entire eastern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the city is smaller, its population is not inferior to that of major cities.

Such a place was in ruins from beginning to end, which shows how bad the official administration of the Great Zhou Dynasty was. It is no wonder that Emperor Zhaowu would rather sign such an agreement with the Yao clan and withdraw his troops from southern Xinjiang to rectify the official administration. . "

Ren Pingsheng frowned slightly, thinking so in his heart.

Time passes minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, it was already an hour later.

Arrive at Chanzhou Port.

Looking around, great changes have taken place here compared to the past few days.

The outside of the port was covered with various wooden thorns, and further inside was a wooden wall that was not too high.

The merchant ships that used to crowd the entire port are now gone.

Instead, there were warships equipped with large crossbows. The sails on them were rustling in the sea breeze, and they were extremely majestic.

Even Ren couldn't help but feel a little shocked when he saw these huge warships for the first time in his life.

In this world, it is estimated that only the barbarians who are tall, huge and close to the sea can build such a huge warship.

"I wonder how many barbarians have such warships. If there are enough, wouldn't they be able to cross the northern border, land from various ports, and attack the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Ren Pingsheng looked at these warships, this thought came to his mind, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

at the same time.

A barbarian rode a tall horse and walked out of the port, stopped not far from Ren Pingsheng, looked directly at him, and shouted loudly: "You are the imperial envoy from the capital of Great Zhou?"
