Ten-carriage cars are placed in the courtyard of the inn.

There is also a strange "wooden cow and horse" among them...

This restaurant, called "Changxin", was booked by a merchant team from Jiaozhi County, "Jiaozhou".

Originally this was just an ordinary thing.

But because of today, the "first trial" under the Desheng Bridge...

For a moment, this business team suddenly became famous, and many people wanted to live in this "Changxin" restaurant, and had a cordial conversation with the businessman with various purposes.

only…

Changxin Restaurant has been booked out long ago, so where can people stay in?

Some of the visitors... did not see these merchants, shook their heads and went home with a disappointed look.

Some people are staying around this "Changxin" restaurant and look at it from time to time, which is quite meaningful.

The waiter also brought two jars of wine as if he was pleased and strode to the "You Tanzhi" room.

The shopkeeper was like a literati. He specially instructed the waiter to learn a few poems and chanted while delivering wine.

——"Put wine in the high hall, relatives and friends go to me! The Central Kitchen holds a generous meal, cooks sheep and slaughter fat cows!"

——"Customer, my shopkeeper asked you to go downstairs, saying that the mutton is ready, and I will wait for the guest to enjoy it."

——"And should I deliver this fine wine to the guest officer or come down to drink?"

Hearing the fine wine, You Tanzhi walked out of the room, picked up the wine pot and smelled it, revealing an intoxicated look.

I couldn't help but sigh, "It smells so fragrant, mellow and sweet, like wine from the north!"

"The customer has good eyesight..." The waiter said with a smile.

At this moment, You Tanzhi found something under the lid of the wine pot. It was a small note. He thought it was specially left to him by the waiter, so he immediately opened it...

Because the speed was too fast, the waiter did not notice it, but when he saw the text on it, You Tanzhi was stunned and hurriedly put away the note.

The waiter's voice continued.

"My shopkeeper admires the merchants who travel around the world like this. Can the customer be admired..."

Before the waiter could finish his words, "not rewarding", You Tanzhi blurted out, which was completely contrary to his usual smiling image during the day.

He didn't care about the waiter and walked out quickly and headed to the backyard.

When he came to the yard, You Tanzhi looked around and looked around, with a little vigilant expression.

But here, there is nothing else besides those armies.

I was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, with a "crunch", the wooden ox and horse seemed to be touched by something, making a crisp sound.

You Tanzhi quickly turned around and a woman walked out from behind the wooden ox and horse.

She wore a hood and a cloak, staring at this merchant from "Jiaozhou".

You Tanzhi's cautious and puzzled gaze met with the woman's sharp and eager gaze.

You Tanzhi couldn't help but take a step back, but the woman took a step forward.

"How many of these are there? Please offer a price!"

Accompanied by this crisp sound.

The woman gently took off her hood and was Lu Xun's wife, Sun Ru.

Her eyes were like lightning... she was holding a pen in her hand.

It seems that the note under the lid of the wine pot was written by her.

The text above is extremely sharp - "Your Excellency is so high-profile that your goal is nothing more than money. I have money? Why not talk about it in the backyard?"

As Sun Ce’s daughter;

As a master of assassination and Shadow Arrow.

It is not difficult to lurk here and find a way to put the note in front of You Tanzhi.

The hard thing is to lure you out...

The hardest thing is to convince You Tanzhi to sell the crossbow and the wooden ox and horse to them!

"I was forced to invite Mr. You to meet in such a sudden way, but... the little woman needs these weapons very much. Mr. You, please offer a price!"

She repeated the purpose of her coming here...

And as she finished speaking, You Tanzhi seemed to have become much more relaxed.

He asked lightly:

——"I don't know, which friend you are from?"

…

…

In Jiangling City, there is a luxurious house in the east of the city.

The courtyard where seven enters and seven leaves shows that the people living in it must be either rich or noble.

At this moment, the door of the house was wide open.

According to the common practice of such a large family, unless you are welcomed by a person with a noble status, you generally do not open the middle door or enter the main hall.

Today's house has distinguished guests.

Since the "live" of Desheng Bridge at Noon, many people have begun to flock to the house and go straight to the main hall.

now…

Although there is still a sunset outside, the main hall is filled with a bright candle and under the light.

An old man in his sixties was pacing while closing his eyes and pondering.

"Tread...tread!"

The crisp sound of footsteps resounded on this smooth bluestone floor, with long beards under the jaw automatically without wind!

There were also some young and impulsive men in front of him, and they were not entirely young. They all seemed to be standing here after the age of age.

One of them cursed...

"Such a good opportunity, such a good weapon? Can others buy it? Our scholar's family? Why can't we buy it?"

This person's name is Shizhi, and he is one of the many sons of the seven governors of Jiaozhou counties.

Beside him were Shi Hui and Shi Gan, all of which were his younger brothers.

And the old man who was over 60 years old was his distinguished guest today, and he was their uncle, the prefect of Jiuzhen County - Shi? (wei).

This time, the scholar came to Jiangling to take a day off. His ultimate goal was to "Public Security County" and to secretly engage in an arms deal with Fu Shiren.

——Purchase some weapons!

Jiaozhou is located in the border area, and both iron and forging skills are extremely lacking.

Therefore, similar to arms and weapons, the scholars naturally have to purchase them from other places.

But...

Even three years ago, the clan leader of the Shi family changed to Sun Quan and completely surrendered, and Jiaozhou became a vassal of the Eastern Wu, but the vassal of the Eastern Wu often had a bad end.

Sun Quan was always on guard against them.

Not to mention weapons, even soldiers and horses have strict restrictions.

In other words, Shi Chang himself is in a peaceful state and does not like war. Otherwise... he still has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, how could he be bullied by Sun Quan?

But at this time...

Shi Zhi's words caused widespread discussion.

His younger brother Shi Hui and Shi Gan said separately: "Yes, Sun Quan's son is only over thirty years old, and his father is over 70 years old. He still needs to bow to him and pay tribute every year... He relies on the Eastern Wu.

Are there plenty of military supplies, weapons and armor? If our family is well equipped, how can we allow him to ride on his neck to act as a mighty man?"

"In my opinion, today's crossbow is pretty good. One crossbow can kill a cow immediately. Once it is fully equipped, my Jiaozhou may not be enterprising enough, but it is more than enough to defend the city. In this way, I will wait

If you are not afraid of Sun Quan's son, do you think he dares to... mention that rude request!"

The so-called unreasonable demands...

It refers to the "pearls, big shells, glasses, jade, tortoiseshells, rhinoceros horns, ivory" that Shi Chang paid tribute to Sun Quan every year, a large number of rare fruits, and even many good horses.

Can…

Even under such a general premise.

However, Sun Quan still forced the scholar to agree.

The northern part of Jiaozhou (that is, Guangdong) was assigned to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan sent a squad to manage it.
