Shi Qingzhu said: "I can tell you the price. It is three hundred thousand taels of silver. Wanyan Lei must have brought the silver notes into the customs. Since he lived here before he was killed, you only need to go and look through what he brought with him. I’m sure you’ll be able to find your luggage,”
Zhuo Duoerhan stared at Shi Qingzhu's eyes on the veil, and after a moment he said: "After Wanyan Lei disappeared, I asked someone to search his luggage, and indeed found 300,000 taels of silver notes, but the money was not It’s a small amount, and with just a few empty words from you, how can I know your identity for sure, and I have no way of judging whether the things to be traded are true or false,”
Shi Qingzhu said: "Does the leader of Zhuotuo Banner know what the target of this transaction is?"
Zhuo Duoerhan said: "I know a little bit about it."
Shi Qingzhu said: "What is it?"
Zhuo Duoerhan's eyes flashed, and he turned to Horuba and said, "Go outside the tent and check. No other people are allowed to come near this place."
Horuba agreed and walked out with big steps.
After Huluba left the tent, Zhuo Duoerhan still didn't answer and asked Shi Qingzhu: "Then what do you mean?"
Shi Qingzhu chuckled and said: "I heard that the Jurchen tribe are all as bold as bears, but now it seems that they are just lies. They are so timid when making deals. If it weren't for this reason, I wouldn't bother to come here to talk to you. In this deal, you Jurchens will never get hold of the armament layout of the Ningjin Defense Line of the Ming Dynasty,"
After hearing the words "Arms and Defense Map of Ningjin Defense Line", Zhuo Duoerhan's eyes immediately began to shine, but then they immediately returned to normal. Apparently he tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "You Is there really such a picture?"
Shi Qingzhu said: "I came to this livestock stable just to joke with you."
Zhuo Duoerhan said: "But I don't know your identity, so how can I know if your picture is fake?"
Shi Qingzhu said: "You don't know my origins. I have an agreed token for this transaction with you Jurchens, but Wanyan Lei is dead. It's useless for me to take it out. However, we have negotiated the deal before." At that time, your Marshal Namutai in Shengjing had a secret message to deliver, and I left one in my hand. You can probably recognize his handwriting,"
As she spoke, she waved her green sleeves and a letter with an apricot yellow cover was thrown on the table.
Zhuo Duoerhan reached out and took it, glanced at the cover, then took out the letter, unfolded it and looked at the light carefully. After looking at it for a while, the Black Wind Flag Master held the hand of the paper and couldn't help but sigh slightly. Tremble.
This piece of paper is a secret letter written by Namutai, the Generalissimo of the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty. How could Zhuo Duoerhan not recognize it? And he also knows very well that the importance of this transaction involves not only Namutai, but also Namutai. Tai, even His Majesty Taizu, also values it very much.
Today, Huang Taiji has just ascended the throne in Shengjing and is known as the "Kuanwenrenrensheng Emperor". However, there has been severe drought in the Liao border outside the pass. He is planning to use the information on the military deployment map to send troops to attack the Ningjin defense line of the Ming Dynasty. It would be better to enter the customs and burn, kill and loot in order to alleviate the urgent need of food shortage.
If this deal is completed, Zhuo Duoerhan will undoubtedly have made a great contribution, and he will definitely be appreciated and prosper, and he will no longer have to stay in this remote Human City.
"What, is this letter written by Marshal Namoutai?" Shi Qingzhu asked.
"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong," Zhuo Duoerhan said, "Have you brought the map you mentioned? If it is convenient, we can trade it now."
Previously, he was not sure of the identity of the two people in front of him, so he was naturally cautious in his words. Now that he had seen Namutai's secret letter, the Black Wind Flag Master's doubts were gone, and he was already a little impatient about the transaction. I just want to get the armament map immediately and send it to Shengjing to hand it over to the emperor, so that I can claim credit and receive rewards.
Shi Qingzhu was not in a hurry at all, and said slowly: "As for that picture, I didn't bring it with me today. If the leader of Zhuotuo Banner wants to trade, he must agree to do something for me. "
Zhuo Duoerhan said: "Do one thing. Is this part of the transaction conditions we have agreed on before?"
Shi Qingzhu shook his head and said: "No, the previous condition was only 300,000 taels of silver notes in exchange for defense plans, but this matter is very important to me. If not, I would not have found you, this black sheep farm. Make this deal with you,"
Zhuo Duoerhan's face darkened and he said: "Since it is not part of the agreed terms, Miss Shi raised this matter temporarily, but do you want to violate the original agreement?"
This Black Wind Banner owner is the largest owner of Niu Ma Fang in Human City. He is certainly very shrewd in making deals and will not give in easily and agree to other conditions.
Shi Qingzhu looked at Zhuo Duo Erhan with his beautiful eyes, suddenly giggled and said: "According to the original agreement, you Jurchens must contact us in a special way, and only after both parties have presented their tokens can the transaction be carried out. Now In this situation, if we want to say that you breached the contract first, you breached the contract first.”
Zhuo Duoerhan said: "Only Wanyan Lei knows the tokens and contact methods. It's not like you don't know that he has been killed. Now that you have found our banner, why bother with those trivial details?"
Shi Qingzhu said: "That being said, since Wanyan Lei is dead, you can report to Shengjing and ask Namutai to send another envoy to Human Village. I don't mind waiting a little longer. If the transaction is completed in a day, the difference between gain and loss lies only with you, the leader of Zhuo Tuo Banner,"
If the news of Wanyan Lei's death is reported, not to mention whether Marshal Namutai pursues the murder of his nephew, Shengjing sends people to trade again, and it doesn't matter if Shi Qingzhu gets 300,000 silver taels in a few days. , a great achievement that Zhuo Duoerhan could achieve at a glance is definitely in vain.
Zhuo Duoerhan took a long breath and said: "Okay, just tell me what you want me to do. If I can do it, I will do it."
Shi Qingzhu smiled and said: "That's right. This matter is not difficult for Zhuo Tuo Banner. I want you to use all the power of the Black Wind Banner to search for the whereabouts of three people. One of them must be captured alive." , the other two will live or die."
Zhuo Duoerhan said: "Who are those three people? The troops under our banner can only move around Human City. Do you know for sure that they have come here?"
Shi Qingzhu said: "You don't have to ask who they are. I will tell you their appearance and characteristics in detail so that your men can help search for them. They left Beijing three days ago and headed east. I believe Now we have probably reached the area of Human City,"
Zhuo Duoerhan played with his abacus with his fingers, and after a moment he said: "Okay, as long as they enter this city, we can guarantee that we will find them and capture them."

Zhu Huichan has stayed at Deyuan Inn for three days.
Princess Chitose feels that she has lived in this world for sixteen years and has never been as happy as these three days. Mortals always find things most precious to themselves that have been difficult to obtain, and Zhu Huichan has been well-dressed and well-fed since she was born. She has never lacked the glory, wealth, honor and status that others pursue. The only thing she has never been able to obtain is freedom.
Of course, in addition to freedom, her good mood also had something to do with Li Hu being by her side.
In the past three days, Zhu Huichan has visited almost all the major markets in Human City and visited many small markets. This is also because there are no other scenic spots to visit in Human City, and various small markets are the only places to visit. Where to go.
Since she was visiting the market, of course she had to buy things. Zhu Huichan bought a lot of things in the past two days, from clothes and jewelry to animal skins, blankets, and various utensils. She also bought twenty items from a weapons shop opened by a foreigner. There are many weapons, including the scimitars of the Uighurs in the Western Regions, the bows and arrows of the Mongols, as well as the swords, guns, swords and halberds, axes, axes, hooks and forks commonly used by people in the rivers and lakes of Middle-earth, and so on.
It can be said that Zhu Huichan has no experience in picking weapons. The products he selected are all good-looking but not of good quality. The iron smelting skills of the Hu people are not as good as those of the Chinese people, and they do not know how to do it in these markets. Zhu Huichan didn't know if there were any real top-grade weapons for sale, so naturally she didn't care.
These many weapons alone weighed several hundred kilograms. Together with other items purchased by Zhu Huichan, Li Hu could not move them alone, so he had to hire a big truck to move all the weapons. Everything was transported back to Deyuan Inn.
Prince Zhu Cixiang has been with his sister for the past three days. Now he is no longer afraid of Li Hu. Although he is not as cheerful as Zhu Huichan all day long, he still has a lot of fun.
Just as happy as them were the innkeeper and waiter.
Although the conditions of Deyuan Inn are not bad, there have always been few guests and it is extremely deserted. Li Hu and his party are the only tenants in the inn now. This is because the rent at Deyuan Inn is higher than other places in the city. The inn is twice as expensive, and the shopkeeper, Duan Wu, looks fierce and has a bad attitude, so not many swindlers will stay here.
But now all the rooms in the inn are full. To be precise, they are filled with all kinds of things Zhu Huichan bought from the city. Now the three-story wooden building in the backyard has the upper room, the middle room, the general shop, and the second floor. More than ten suites, large and small, have all become places where Princess Chitose stores her things.
Originally, there was a large warehouse underground in the Deyuan Inn. Renting it to store goods would save a lot of money on rent. However, Zhu Huichan was unwilling to do so. These things were all treasures she had bought with great difficulty. How could she just put them away? She had to go down to the wet and dirty underground and have to put it in the guest room. As for spending money, how could it be on the list of issues in her mind?
In the past few days, Li Hu had spent more than 8,000 silver taels while shopping in the market and paying for the store. Fortunately, he had brought enough silver notes, and the jewelry he had previously collected from Zhu Huichan and Zhu Cixiang were also extremely valuable. I spent a lot of money on it, so I can still sustain it.
