Chapter 745 Major Events (1)

The caravan came to an inn not far from the city gate. The inn was called Tangji Inn. Needless to say, this was an inn run by Tang Huai family. The Tang family opened many inns around Hebei Road, but now only a few are remaining remaining to maintain business.

When the customer saw that the guests arrived, the guest hurriedly welcomed him warmly, "Welcome to stay in Tangji Inn. The shop is clean and tidy, the food is delicious, and the price is low, so you can ensure that all the guests are satisfied!"

The young businessman in charge smiled and said, "Can the shopkeeper Tang be there?"

"The guest official knows my shopkeeper!"

"One of my friends is the nephew of Manager Tang."

The guy hurried back to report, and after a moment, an obese man in his forties came out. His name was Tang Zhengde, Tang Huai's fourth uncle and one of the few people left by the Tang family in Hebei.

"You are" Tang Zhengde looked at the caravan in confusion.

"Yan Qing is Tang Huai's friend. Should we go in and talk?"

The shopkeeper suddenly woke up and quickly let Yan Qing and others into the inn, and asked the clerk to close the door and hang a full sign.

"Someone should live in the backyard! I'm sure you don't have any customers at the moment."

The shopkeeper Tang Zhengde welcomed them into the backyard, and several friends went to arrange livestock. In the room, Tang Zhengde asked Yan Qing to sit down and asked in a low voice: "The guest official is Song Jun!"

Yan Qing nodded and smiled, "Tang Huai and I are in the same tent as generals, both of them are under the tent of Dutong Li. Uncle Tang should know Dutong Li!"

"Of course I know him. When he was a child, we called him Brother Qing. Now he has become a pillar of the Song Dynasty. I heard that he led his army to guard the capital, leaving the Jin soldiers helpless?"

"It is true. Li Dutong is currently the Tokyo Defense Envoy, and we were sent to Hebei cameras to act."

Tang Zhengde suddenly realized and pointed at Yan Qing and said, "I understand, you are Feiqi!"

The flying cavalry is a Song army cavalry active on Hebei West Road in recent times. They succeeded in attacking the Jin army company and their reputation has spread throughout Hebei West Road.

Yan Qing smiled and said, "We are the Feiqi, and our Feiqi leader Uncle Tang is very familiar with it, and it is Wang Gui."

"Ah! It turns out it's Gui Ge'er."

Tang Zhengde exclaimed and asked quickly: "Where is my Tang Huai?"

"Brother Tom is currently in Tokyo, following Dutong Li to defend the capital."

"I see."

Tang Zhengde suddenly smiled sly, "I understand, your goal this time must be"

Tang Zhengde pointed to the west, and Li Yangcang was on the west.

Yan Qing nodded and asked again: "I wonder how much Uncle Tang knows about Li Yangcang?"

"I don't know much, either. I heard that there were tens of thousands of defenders, and the guards were very tight. The grass was piled up like a mountain. Anyway, I have never been in. After the Jin soldiers entered, it was strictly prohibited from entering any Han people."

Yan Qing didn't expect Tang Zhengde to tell him much information. What he needs more is weapons at the moment. He pondered for a while and asked, "Can you buy a knife in the city?"

"There were two weapons shops in the city, and they were ordered to close their doors, but I am very familiar with the shopkeepers of one of the weapons shops. If General Yan was willing to pay a high price, he might be willing to take the risk of selling them."

"The price is not a problem, so I'll trouble Uncle Tang."

As he said that, he placed two gold bricks of fifty taels each on the table, "This is our accommodation money. There is not much money, it's just a little bit of intention. Please accept it."

Although Manager Tang has something to do with them, if he doesn’t give him any benefits, how can he let others do things for you with peace of mind?

Tang Zhengde's eyes were straightened. One hundred taels of gold equals one thousand taels of silver. It can be exchanged for 8,000 guan in the black market, and the accommodation fee is as high as a few guan. He murmured: "Is this really too much, can't I get so much?"

This time, Yan Qing brought 300 taels of gold into the city. The gold was all gold bars and hidden in the salt bricks. Yan Qing smiled and said, "This is actually the gold we seized from the Jin soldiers. Uncle Tang's ability to contact us is a great achievement. How can we not have a reward? Please help me!"

How could Tang Zhengde not want gold? During the war, this is a good thing to save his life! He trembled and took the gold, stood up and said, "I'll contact weapons now."

He turned around and hurried away

In the afternoon, Yan Qing followed Tang Zhengde to a yard, where a middle-aged man was already waiting here.

"Shopkeeper Qiu, this is my nephew. I can guarantee him. He must have nothing to do with the Jin soldiers."

Manager Qiu glanced at Yan Qing and said blankly: "Come with me!"

The middle-aged man named Qiu is the shopkeeper of the Jin weapons shop. The weapons shop has been ordered to be closed by the Jin soldiers, and the weapons in the store have been collected by the Jin soldiers. However, the weapons shop is just a shop after all, so the Jin soldiers did not look at it too carefully, leaving a loophole.

Everyone came to the backyard. Manager Qiu moved a few tattered tables, revealing a small door. He took out the key and opened the lock, pushed the door and walked in. Tang Zhengde turned around and smiled at Yan Qing, "Go in with a good nephew! I'll wait outside."

Yan Qing lowered his head and walked in. Although the door was small, it was very narrow and there were two large wooden boxes in the bottom of the room.

"This is the Song army's iron armored bronze helmet, with a total of twenty pairs, each pair of armor with a battle knife. If you still want spears, bows and arrows, I can get it."

"Is there a crossbow?" Yan Qing asked.

"There are only five crossbows, but not god-arm crossbows, just ordinary military crossbows and complete crossbows."

Yan Qing nodded, "Get me twenty spears and fifteen arrows, and I want them together with the crossbow. How much does it cost?"

Manager Qiu stretched out a finger and said, "One thousand taels of silver, no bargaining price."

Yan Qing nodded, took out a fifty-two-pound gold brick and handed it to him, "Pay half of it first, and the other half will pay for the goods when you see it. I will have it tonight, no problem!"

Manager Qiu took the gold and showed a smile on his face, "I will send it to the inn tonight."

Two dilapidated lanterns hung on the city tower late at night, and in the wind, several Han soldiers were curled up under a leeward wall below the city tower, trembling in the bitter cold wind. It was the time when it was still cold, the wind was stronger and the colder was stronger, making it difficult for these soldiers to resist.

"The Jurchens really treat us as livestock, and they don't even give us a blanket!" A soldier said with his arms trembling and his teeth trembling.

An elderly soldier curled his lips and said, "Liu San, aren't your family a landlord from Tangyin County? Why don't you even have a blanket?"

"Don't mention it, the family was stolen by the Jurchens, the house was burned, and the family fled to the south and there was nothing left."

"I remember you still have ten taels of silver, so you can buy a blanket!"

The soldier muttered, "I've lost all."

At this moment, a roar came from the side, "Who told you to sleep, get up!"

Several soldiers were so scared that they stood up quickly. A Jin soldier walked forward quickly and whipped them with a whip. The soldiers lowered their heads and were whipped, but they did not dare to move.

"A group of dead pigs, if you don't go on patrol, you will dare to be lazy and behead them all!"

Several Han soldiers were so scared that they were trembling and quickly lined up to patrol. The Jin soldiers urinated under the city, yawned again, and turned around and continued to go back to the city tower to sleep.

"The Jurchens raised by bitch don't treat me as human beings, I want to rebel." The Han soldiers named Liu San cursed.

A Han soldier sighed, "Liu San, we have no way out. Have you heard that many counties have all been killed? If we surrender to the Jin people with Wang Kui, we are already on the dead end."

Several Han soldiers were silent

At this time, a team of Han soldiers walked up the city along the corridor. The team consisted of eighteen people, wearing iron armored bronze helmets, carrying spears on their shoulders, sharp blades on their waists, and arrows on their backs. Five of them were also carrying military crossbows, and the leader was Yan Qing.

Although the equipment and armor are the same as the Song army, their helmets are wrapped in sheepskin, which is the symbol of the Han army.

At this time, several Han soldiers came towards him. Seeing that there were only five people on the other side, Yan Qing glared and said, "Why are there only five people patrolling?"

Several Han soldiers were startled and quickly explained: "We were on duty during the day, but we were temporarily rushed to patrol."

Yan Qing recognized these people, weren’t they just the soldiers guarding the gate during the day? His eyes rolled, "Since it’s on duty during the day, you can go back and rest now."

The five soldiers were overjoyed and turned around and ran down the city, but Yan Qing called them, "Save two of them!"

The five people discussed for a while and left two people. Yan Qing walked up and asked, "What are your names? Where are you from?"

"The villain is called Liu San, from Tangyin County, and his name is Zhao Jiu, from Daming Prefecture."

"Very good, please let me go together!"

Two soldiers joined the team, but the soldiers named Liu San kept looking at Yan Qing secretly. Yan Qing smiled and said, "Does Liu San know me?"

"I feel very familiar, I seem to have seen my elder brother somewhere."

"Of course I've seen it, today at the city gate, have you forgotten?"

Liu San thought about it, and suddenly his face changed drastically. He turned around and wanted to run away, but was caught by Yan Qing, "It's too late to escape!"

Liu San knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic, "Brother, please spare me! My family is all in Jingzhou."

"Since your family is in the south, why do you still surrender to the Jin Kingdom?"

"The villain has always wanted to escape and is looking for opportunities."

Another soldier next to him also understood immediately, and then knelt down and begged for mercy. Yan Qing said coldly: "I can not kill you, but you must make meritorious service and atone for your sins!"

"We are willing to make meritorious service and atone for our sins!"
