Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty: The Artifact Presents(1/2)
Deng Jian was beaten to the point of being star-stirring.
If it were someone else, I would have been angry.
But Deng Jian laughed with him, nodding and bowing to the bannerman, showing a flattering look.
The bannerman was going to fight, but another bannerman said a few words to him. The bannerman waved his hand and said something like getting out.
Deng Jian then ordered people to continue his journey.
The convoy entered Fushun.
Deng Jian touched his cheek, pursed his lips and frowned.
It was really hard to travel through Liaodong this journey.
Although he has the identity of a merchant as a cover, he is still extremely dangerous.
The most difficult thing is to swallow your anger.
The convoy finally arrived at Li Yongfang's mansion.
This mansion covers a huge area and looks very magnificent. It should have been the residence of a wealthy family in the past, but now it is Li Yongfang's property.
There are many guards on the periphery.
When Deng Jian brought the convoy closer, someone immediately stepped forward and scolded, "Who is it?"
This is Chinese.
The speaker was wearing Han costumes and did not shave his head. At this time, the shaving order had not yet begun, and the traitor team led by Li Yongfang was not incorporated into the Han military flag.
So... these people still have buns on their heads, and some people are even wearing the costumes of Mingjun in the past.
Deng Jian smiled and stepped forward, saying, "I am from the Zhang family in Datong. I am ordered to come to see Prince Li."
Without the Han army flag, there would certainly be no distinction between master and slave, but these people surrendered to Jiannu and were not considered slaves within the organization, but these Han people in Liaodong had begun to imitate the customs of the Jiannu people.
What kind of master, slave, etc., come and speak.
I heard that some of the nobles of Jiannu were very dissatisfied with this. The master and slave are the only people in Jiannu who are qualified to call him. What qualifications do you have?
So after repeated orders, Li Yongfang, the general officer, was not allowed to call him like this, but this was still impossible to stop. After all, Chinese and Jiannu were not in harmony. When Deng Jian came, he had already had a very clear understanding of the customs here.
The man immediately went to report and came back after a while and said, "General Li is entertaining distinguished guests. You can go in first and wait in the small hall."
Deng Jian was led in and sat for a while before someone slowly walked in.
This person is not very good-looking, but he is quite proud of his ambitions while looking around.
He was only thirty or forty years old, wearing a fox fur coat and a braid behind his head. Li Yongfang was almost the first Han man to cut his braids first. He seemed quite proud of this. He wrapped his braids around his neck, and the braids were shiny and shiny, obviously he had tried his best to maintain them.
Deng Jian quickly got up, then knelt down, and said respectfully: "Slave Deng Jian, I have seen Mr. Li."
Li Yongfang only glanced at him lightly and said lightly: "Are you from the Zhang family?"
Deng Jian then said, "I die, but I am not from the Zhang family."
When Li Yongfang heard this, he was immediately alert and said coldly: "What does it mean?"
As he spoke, several guards at the door became nervous and pressed the handle of the knife.
Deng Jian said: "The slave is actually the deputy general of the military. This time, he ordered me to come to see you. The road was just a dangerous road, and I was afraid that the Ming army along the way would be seen through, so I ordered me to use Zhang Ji's identity."
When Li Yongfang heard this, his face calmed down a little and said, "Is it okay for him to be in the capital?"
"It's very good. Although it's extremely dangerous, at this time, he has already established a relationship with the Ministry of War and some people in the Beijing camp. With their care, he will not be suspected."
Only then did Li Yongfang show some concern and said, "His official position has come down?"
Deng Jian shook his head and said, "No, Wei Zhongxian has recently controlled the promotion and recruitment of military officers, and the Ministry of War... is also waiting for the opportunity."
Li Yongfang walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, frowning, as if he was a little dissatisfied.
However, Li Yongfang was obviously careful and said, "If you say that, can he become an official in Jinzhou?"
Deng Jian said in surprise: "Didn't you say... to Ningyuan?"
Li Yongfang said lightly: "Oh, it seems that I remembered it wrongly. This Wei Zhongxian... is really a big problem for us..."
Li Yongfang immediately said, "Wu Changchun asked you to come here, what's the matter?"
"There is a treasure that I want to ask Mr. Li to see. This thing is really rare. I heard that it was built by the Ming army with huge sums of money. It was a weapon for raids and sieges. The deputy general of the military spent a lot of effort to get it out through relationships."
A powerful tool...
Li Yongfang said, "Ha... Did the Ming army lose its skills? Is it possible to turn the overall situation with a few powerful tools?"
He said this, but he knew that even if this thing was not extraordinary, it would never be an ordinary thing after Wu Changchun spent so much effort to turn it over.
So he said, "Does he have a letter?"
Deng Jian scolded in his heart, the person surnamed Li was really cautious.
He then nodded and hurriedly took out a wrinkled letter from his sleeve.
Li Yongfang took it, looked down and then realized it in his heart, looking at Deng Jian with a gentle face: "Where is that baby?"
Deng Jian said: "The thing is too big, I'm afraid I need to find an open place."
Li Yongfang said: "My mansion covers a large area, but I go to the backyard."
"yes."
Li Yongfang carried his hands behind his back and led Deng Jian out of the small hall, and ordered: "There will be a noble person to come later, so be careful."
Noble man...
Deng Jian couldn't help but think that Li Yongfang was originally a general officer, and he could call him a noble person, but he was afraid...
Deng Jian said timidly: "Yes, yes."
Li Yongfang was a very cautious person. Even if he received the letter from Wu Changchun, Deng Jian's identity was irrefutable, but he was still careful.
As soon as he left the hall, more than a dozen guards followed him.
All the way to the backyard of the Li family, there was indeed a large garden.
Li Yongfang said, "Where is the sharp weapon?"
"In the car, guys are guarding."
Li Yongfang said: "Transport them in."
"It's just that this thing needs to be loaded and unloaded, and people who have to be familiar with this artifact, otherwise... if there is any bump..."
"Call your guys together."
Deng Jian said with a respectful look: "Yes."
There are people guarding everywhere in the backyard of Li’s mansion, which can be said to be a three-step post and a five-step post.
Not long after, the seven or eight guys rushed over and stopped the car and began to unload the car on the wide ground in the middle.
However... Li Yongfang left for a while, and after two incense sticks, she carefully accompanied an old man who had his head shaved out.
Although this old man is old, he has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with murderous aura and eyes higher than his top.
Li Yongfang was next to him and was instantly overshadowed. He smiled carefully and whispered to explain something in Jiannu's words.
The old man from Jiannu just nodded contemptuously, but still had a lofty attitude.
Seeing this, Deng Jian did not dare to see the Jiannu people more.
He knew very well that he had to show a trembling look, timid and trembling. To some extent, this was the most easy thing to take off his guard.
The guys took a huge rattan basket from the cart.
Then, I started to take out a large amount of canvas.
They started to be busy assembled.
Li Yongfang seemed to know what this was.
After looking at it for a while, he showed some impatientness. He called Deng Jian in front of him and scolded him: "What is this? Why is it so troublesome?"
"It's almost done, it's almost done." Deng Jian nodded and said, "Mr. Li will see it later. Deputy General Wu repeatedly told him..."
"Enough." Li Yongfang waved his hand unhappily.
Then he explained patiently to the man in Jiannu's words.
The Jiannu people obviously didn't have much interest in this thing, and thought that this thing... was just a basket and cloth.
The Jiannu people love bows and horses, and of course, they also like artillery.
But most of them disdain for other Han people's things.
Li Yongfang's thoughts are different.
In his opinion, since this was sent by Wu Changchun, it must be a rare thing.
He happened to take this opportunity to seek credit in front of the Jiannu people, showing his contribution to the layout within the pass.
The Jiannu people didn't say a word, they just sneered blindly.
To be continued...
