Chapter 285 Too Simple
Shen Xiaoye: "You can still distinguish the ordinary Waqi tribe from the Dada people, but these all look the same, so it's hard to tell them apart, right?"
"It must be the Dada people, otherwise the soldiers at the border fort would never let them enter our territory with just these people." General Wang then asked the Dada people in his team to identify them one by one.
The amazing thing is that many of the Northern Barbarians in custody were familiar with the interrogators.
Although Shen Xiaoye was far away and didn't know the truth, the little black cat could hear it. It was surprised and said, "It turned out that he was planted by General Wang. He really deserves the title of spy."
Shen Xiaoye put it back into her bag, not wanting General Wang to think about it again.
It can be said that it took less than a quarter of an hour for the captured northern barbarians to confess that they were Dada people and had followed Bayar Khan a few months ago.
This time, he paid a huge price to bribe a prince in charge of the Dada delegation, and was allowed to go to the horse market to exchange daily necessities.
Shen Xiaoye couldn't help but ask: "The spy should have known that Dada was defeated, but he still dared to pass on the news?"
At this time, shouldn't he be hiding in the territory of the Great Zhou and protecting himself well?
General Wang sneered: “Oh, among businessmen, when the profit is big enough, they will do anything even if it means beheading someone.
At this time, they may not necessarily convey any important news, but opening a private market is tantamount to collaborating with the enemy.
Now it is up to you to ask the people and friends in your team what is going on. "
He had been planning for a long time and settled the Dada tribe that had surrendered to him next to the Dada camp, just to see who would dare to act recklessly.
Therefore, the little black cat did not know that when it explored the Dada camp, at least half of the tents it saw were occupied by people arranged by the general in front of it.
"Since the general trusts me, I will definitely ask you the answer.
Please send Captain Wang or one or two of his attendants to go with me." Shen Xiaoye agreed, not only did he not refuse his face, but also took the initiative to ask someone to supervise him so that he would not give others excuses.
General Wang looked at him and said in a slow tone, "Of course I trust you."
Shen Xiaoye thanked him and left, with two personal soldiers beside him.
Lu Guan stayed put and did not move. "General, you specially asked us to come here. Is there anything else?"
"Well, you were familiar with Morichi from Waqi before. Do you think he is trustworthy?" After all, General Wang valued Lu Guan as a man more and would not entrust Shen Xiaoye with important tasks.
Lu Guan also responded quickly: "You want to send someone to Waqi?"
Seeing that the other party did not answer, he immediately added: "He can still be trusted. He is related to the royal family of the previous dynasty. His tribesmen are both his strength and his weakness.
Now, it is settled in the Xuanda area. "
General Wang nodded: "Do you dare to take him to Moxi to meet our people?"
“Moxi is a very large area, you should at least give me a roughly similar location.
If I were to be sent to the rule of King Zhongshun, to be honest, I don't know the language and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do the job." Even though he won first place in archery and horsemanship in the Imperial Academy, he had not yet passed the imperial examination.
When he returned to Beijing from Mobei, the emperor was reluctant to give him any reward other than money. Lu Guan knew that the emperor might really agree to his uncle's request and let him live a life of leisure and wealth.
But if he wants to earn money in the future, it would be better for him to remain an official. But if he loses his life, he will have nothing.
So he would not agree to such a dangerous thing on a whim.
"Of course, if you want to go north to Hulan and Shiwen, or go west to the border area of Xiningwei, I can do it." Lu Guan also drew a line.
General Wang pondered for a long time and said, "We will go west, and we will discuss where to go.
You are in charge of Morichi, and you are not allowed to harm his people."
"Yes. If there is nothing else, I'll take my leave first." Lu Guan had to touch Shen Xiaoye's bottom.
When he came, Shen Xiaoye was asking his teammates, "You are waiting outside Datong City. Is it difficult?"
“No, no, no, we couldn’t resist our greed and followed along when someone offered to recruit guards here for a day or two at a high price.
Before meeting the Dada people, we really thought that it was just a mission to escort the caravan for a hundred miles. "The two teammates now regretted it very much, Shen Xiaoye sighed:
"Can you two identify who recruited you?" She thought that five taels of silver a month was not a small amount, much more than the monthly salary of the soldiers in each camp.
The two men nodded in agreement and were handed over to General Wang's men to identify them. When they saw Lu Guan coming towards them leading a horse, they lowered their heads in shame.
They were temporarily at a loss, and if they escaped the punishment this time, they probably wouldn't be able to serve under the Fourth Master Lu after returning to the capital.
Lu Guan had no intention of talking to them. It was not easy to form a bodyguard team. It would be beneficial to his future if those who could not resist the temptation left early.
"There are still two who continue to guard outside Datong, and one heading west. The convoy suddenly loses four teammates. It's a pity." Shen Xiaoye said with regret.
Lu Guanze said: "Gathering and separation are common. If we are compatible, then we will be together. If we are not compatible, then we will just give up."
Don't blame him for being angry. He promised five taels of silver per person for the round trip. He used his own private money to buy the horses and carriages to form a team. It was his first time to "go on a escort trip" and there was basically no profit.
Human resources are the least valuable, and it is not easy to find a few new team members in and outside the capital.
He said, "Look over there, Shopkeeper Dai is waving at us vigorously."
"Oh, I don't know how he is involved." Shen Xiaoye was also puzzled.
As soon as they approached, Shopkeeper Dai couldn't wait to say, "What a misunderstanding. I just heard that someone formed a team to go to the horse market to take a look and paid a registration fee of five taels of silver.
What happened is that we were taken with others to open a private market.
Miss Shen, Mr. Lu can ask the people on my right, they also paid money to go to the horse market to see it. "Since he took the shortcut this time, he has been unhappy everywhere, it is best not to take this route in the future.
"Manager Dai, how about you work with me to catch the mastermind?" Lu Guan proposed to Shen Xiaoye after he walked towards another boss a few feet away.
Shopkeeper Dai was overjoyed and immediately went with Lu Guan to find the person who collected his money.
With almost no effort, the person who had been seeking profit from the beginning surfaced.
When Shen Xiaoye learned that it was a branch of the Huo family, she said, "It is difficult for the Huo family to settle this matter peacefully.
Maybe next time we come, this shop won’t be there among the merchants.”
Lu Guan thought: "Under normal circumstances, if we investigate further, the guards will be implicated, which is too offensive.
Shen Xiaoye, we shouldn't go too deep into these.
I may not be with you on the return trip. There are dozens of people in the convoy, so please take care of them.
And as for Guard Chen, don't let him look for me."
"You..." She looked at him, then turned to General Wang, who was still inspecting the seized goods.
She said: "Guardian Chen will definitely not listen to me.
You had us by your side last time, and you can’t be without me this time when you go on a long journey.”
"But he can't speak Dada language, it's too easy to be exposed." Lu Guan knew this, but he also knew that Guard Chen had elderly parents and young children to support, and they depended on him for their livelihood.
