Chapter 105: Sending a Gift to Zhu Yuanzhang (2)
Chapter 105: Send back gift to Zhu Yuanzhang (II)
Taiping Valley is a valley north of Yingzhai. Both sides of this valley are high mountains, suddenly on the plain. There is only one entrance in the valley, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you are surrounded by someone in the valley, from top to bottom, you can't bear it as long as you shoot a rain of arrows.
The more he moved forward, the more careful Shi Xin was. Although he decided to give Zhu Yuanzhang a gift when he became angry, Shi Xin was not a reckless man. Mr. Zhu was able to raise the banner and stand up in such a chaotic world, and he had his own skills.
When we were almost at Taiping Valley, there was a jingling sound coming from inside.
Judging from this situation, there are probably hundreds of blacksmiths scrambling irons inside. Mr. Zhu seems to be really short of weapons. He has helped him in time and brought him six thousand kilograms of iron, but he wants to owe him money. Who knows when to delay it? This villain who is unfaithful!
When Shi Xin thought of this, his heart felt cold again. He often walked by the river. How could he not wear his shoes? He often did business? Where could he not encounter any setbacks?
But, this little bitch was too big, five thousand taels of silver, what does this mean?
You must bring your elder brother’s gift to you! Shi Xin was already blinded by anger. He had begun to imagine what the grenade would be like when it exploded beside Zhu Yuanzhang.
The guards brought them to the valley, their eyes full of prayers: "I have brought you here, please, let me go, I still have a seventy-year-old mother in my family."
"Bang!" A heavy blow came from the back of his head, and Lu Zhen behind him had an arrow and knocked him unconscious.
"Bundle it!" Shixin said.
Kill him? I feel a little unbearable. After all, the other party is not an unforgivable person. If he let him go, he was afraid that he would leak the news, so he knocked him out and tied him up to the tree first. As for whether anyone came to save him, it depends on his own luck.
There were already soldiers guarding the valley entrance, and everyone rushed in directly from the valley entrance, which was obviously extremely unwise. The weapon combo crossbow in his hand had been confiscated at the ferry. There were no other weapons except a few grenades and the two waist knives he just stolen.
"Let's climb up there." Shi Xin observed the surrounding terrain. Only by climbing over the steep cliffs over there could you unexpectedly enter the valley.
"This..." Everyone was hesitant. The mountain was too steep. What if it was lost and fell down?
"I'll go by myself, everyone stays here and waits for me." After Shi Xin said that, he turned around and walked towards the cliff.
The rest of the people looked at each other and followed.
"We advance and retreat together."
With a quick horse and Xu Da led the way, the group quickly headed north.
Xu Da didn't know if he was doing this right. This young master Zhang was mysterious and could tell that his elder brother would be in danger. With Tang He's urging, he finally believed him. But what if he lied to him? In order to find his elder brother, and then...
He didn't dare to think too much. Since he had made this decision, he had to persevere. If they really deceived themselves and did something that was unfavorable to the elder brother, there was an army of more than 2,000 people in the valley, which was enough to crush these people into meat paste.
Zhang Yang was anxious. His younger brother was usually very clever, but occasionally he was confused. If he ran away, he would just run away. I'll get justice for you, but you go to settle the score with Zhu Yuanzhang. If Zhu Yuanzhang dies, why do we want these thousands of taels of silver?
"Who is ahead?" Finally arrived at the valley entrance and the soldiers guarding the valley entrance asked.
"Where is the eldest brother? Go and report it quickly. He is in danger!" Xu Da said to the soldiers.
"General Xu!" The soldiers then saw clearly that the most powerful general in front was Xu Da, the first powerful general under the elder brother. One of them ran into the valley with a trot.
Turning over the narrow valley entrance, the situation inside was clear at a glance. Many small stoves were experiencing flames, and many people holding iron hammers were thrusting irons. Not only were blacksmiths, but many soldiers were also shirtless, and they were busy in the ground. In the entire valley, there were not many lances everywhere. Most of them were spears. After the spear tip was cut, the wooden handle was used to use much less iron than the waist knife.
So many blacksmiths! Zhang Yang's eyes shining. Zhu Yuanzhang really knows how to find people. Where did he find so many? At least fifty or sixty blacksmiths, I'm afraid even the blacksmiths from the surrounding prefectures were brought in?
If he asked him for a few blacksmiths, I wonder if he would agree?
At the base, the most lacking thing is the skilled blacksmith. The barrel is in stock, but other parts cannot keep up with the progress. Although there are already more than a dozen blacksmiths, it is far from enough.
Suddenly, Zhang Yang's eyes fixed on someone.
Although this person was dressed in ordinary clothes, his back was tall and he felt as if he was not angry. While walking, he checked the blacksmith's ironwork. He turned his face and looked at the guests at the entrance of the valley with a shrewd look. Although it was a little far apart, Zhang Yang saw clearly.
Mirage, Haozhou City, the fierce general fighting was Zhu Yuanzhang who was smiling at this moment.
"Young Master Zhu?" Zhang Yang shouted to him from afar.
"Young Master Zhang?" Zhu Yuanzhang also shouted.
At this moment, the soldier who had just reported it was so angry that he ran to Zhu Yuanzhang. The valley was too big, and he walked around and found the person.
He gasped, and before he could speak, he found a shadow on the ground. He looked up and saw something in the sky that fell down quickly.
Rocks fell on the top of the mountain? Or something else? Why did it fall here? No, my brother is in danger!
The place where Zhu Yuanzhang stood was Shi Xin climbing under the steep cliff just now. It was too steep. Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the protection here. Besides, he didn't have enough manpower. In order to make more weapons as soon as possible, most of the soldiers were used by him as laborers to build weapons.
Shi Xin also sighed in secretly that climbing such a steep cliff just now was extremely dangerous. However, except for this place, there were soldiers guarding it all around, and only here could approach the valley quietly.
Climbing to the top of the mountain, he looked down and saw many blacksmiths making irons in a flat ground in the center of the valley, and soldiers standing guard were looking vigilantly in all directions.
I didn’t expect that I would throw a grenade from the sky!
Shi Xin took out a grenade from behind, slowly unscrewed the back door, and pulled out the fuse.
"Fire Memorial." Shi Xin whispered.
"Shixin, what are you really planning to do this? Do you know what the consequences are?" Shiyi asked quietly from the side.
"I know what the consequences are. My elder brother asked me to give Zhu Yuanzhang a grenade. Who dares not listen to the orders of my elder brother? My elder brother said that this action is under my command, and you all have to listen to me."
When I carried out my eldest brother's shield, everyone was silent.
Shiyi took out the fire note, blew it, and handed it to Shixin.
Shi Xin observed carefully and finally found the person who was pointing fingers at the foot of the mountain below him. Isn’t that the person he was looking for?
Due to the obstruction of the hill next to him, Shi Xin did not see Zhang Yang and others riding a horse coming in from the valley entrance.
God-given opportunity.
This is really a way to heaven and you don’t go, and you don’t go to hell!
Shi Xin lit the fuse, looked at the smoke-filled handle, and threw it firmly towards the place where Zhu Yuanzhang was.
Chapter completed!
