    Chapter 786 The Greatest Luck The two boys were startled by the sudden change. After a moment of stunnedness, one of them reacted. Just as he was about to shout, he was knocked unconscious by Zuo Mingchan's palm. At this time  When the knights outside heard the signal, they rushed over and soon surrounded the small courtyard.  The foreigners who went in before were only focused on killing people and taking people in the house, and they didn't even notice that the two companions outside were destroyed.  After Zuo Mingchan knocked the two boys unconscious, he pushed the door open and entered the house. He opened a bag of powder at the door and sprinkled it in with a shake of his hand.  The foreigners in the room screamed a few times, fired a few shots at the door randomly, and then rushed out. Zuo Mingchan hid behind the door and knocked down one by one when he came out. The seven or eight foreigners in the room were captured without any effort.  The people from the Xiao Riding School came in and tied all these people up with ropes. They each carried one person and then left.  It was still dark when we returned to Huotongtianxiahang store, and Zuo Mingchan and Zhou Mingli interrogated him overnight.  ¡°One of the foreigners was in that inn before, and the foreigners who came later obviously came here to catch him, so this was the first person the two men interrogated.  After pouring a basin of cold water on him, the effects of the drug gradually wore off, and the foreigner slowly woke up.  Zuo Mingchan glanced at this man and couldn't help but smile: "These foreigners are not much different from each other, but they can't tell their age." Zhou Mingli said: "These foreigners are better, those black foreign slaves are hard to identify.  . The last time I went to the Principality of Ross to pick up Andrew's younger siblings, I found out after moving to the Principality of Ross that the customs and habits were completely different from those of the Central Plains. Foreigners like them had pale skin and looked much like the people of the Northern Liao Dynasty.  , blue eyes and tall noses. In the wealthy families of the Ross Principality, there were many captive foreign slaves with skin as black as coal, and they all looked like ghosts, except for their frighteningly white teeth.  "Zuo Mingchan said: "It's true that the same rice feeds all kinds of people. If I hadn't come to Muping this time, I would never have seen a foreignerexcept Andrew." Seeing that the foreigner woke up, Zhou Mingli moved a chair and sat over to ask.  He asked, "What's your name?" The foreigner opened his eyes and looked around, and found that he was no longer in the small inn before, and the person in front of him was not his captor, so he was a little confused.  "Where is this?" He actually knew some Chinese, but his pronunciation was a bit vague.  "Don't worry about where this is. At least you are safer than falling into the hands of those foreigners." Zhou Mingli asked: "What's your name? Why did the other foreigners arrest you?" "Becauseit's a matter of business. They thought we were robbing you."  They have lost their customer base. You should know that when people like us come to Sui to do business, we have to do so in secret, because the Sui people do not allow us to come, so we naturally do not want competition.  The opponent exists." The foreigner answered after being silent for a while.  Zuo Mingchan smiled coldly, beckoned a knight to come in and gave a few instructions. The knight immediately went out. Not long after, several people came in carrying a foreigner and threw him on the ground.  "Cut his ears." Zuo Mingchan ordered.  Two knights from the riding school went up to hold the man down, and the other pulled out a dagger and cut off the foreigner's ear.  Because his mouth was tight, the foreigner's screams seemed muffled and could not carry far.  This house has been renovated and is well-sound-proofed.  The foreigner from before was obviously startled and subconsciously shrank back.  "What's your name?" Zuo Mingchan asked.  "My name is Dro." He answered.  "Why do these people want to arrest you?" "Because of business" Before he could finish his answer, Zuo Mingchan immediately ordered: "Kill that foreigner." The people from the Xiao Riding School held down the foreigner's head and wiped it with a knife.  his neck.  Blood immediately spurted out from the severed artery, and a large blood stain soon spread on the bluestone floor.  The foreigner made a few snoring sounds in his throat, a few blood bubbles appeared, and then he died.  "Ask you again. If you don't answer, you will be next. I don't have time to chat with you. What I want is a simple, direct and true answer. If you are not willing to give me this answer, then the remaining people who arrested you will definitely be willing.  Seize the chance to live." Zuo Mingchan waved his hand, and the people from the Xiao Riding School dragged the body down.  ??Dero's face was as white as paper. He glanced at Zuo Mingchan and could see the coldness in this Han man's eyes. He was sure that this man would really attack him.  Zuo Mingchan glanced at him and said: "If you don't want to say it, let me give you a start You are from the Principality of Ross, and you are a subordinate of the original Grand Duke of Ross. And?These people of yours are the people of Archduke Hullens, the new owner of the Principality of Ross, right?  You are a Rus rebel and you came to the Sui Dynasty to sell firearms to the Sui people in exchange for money and help, right?  "Dero's face obviously changed. He didn't expect that the Han in front of him actually knew so much. Zuo Mingchan said lightly: "I ask you, not because we don't know, but because we want to make sure that what we know is correct.  Let me remind you one last time, you only have one chance to live, it's up to you whether you say it or not And, how do you know we won't help you?  Maybe I'm also interested in what you sell to others.  " "This distinguished lord.  " Dro said: "You are right, I am a member of the Resistance Army of the Principality of Ross, and I am here to seek help.  Those who captured me were Hurons, a group of demons who invaded my homeland!  " Zuo Mingchan nodded: "Did you sell your firearms to Mu Mansion?  "Dero shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know who my buyer is yet.  The Dongchu people helped me contact the buyer and told me that they were very powerful nobles in the Sui Kingdom, with hundreds of thousands of troops, and were fully capable of helping the Rus people regain their homeland.  That's why I sell firearms at low prices just to meet buyers.  But the buyer was very mysterious and told me that he would not see me until I had more goods ready.  " Zuo Mingchan and Zhou Mingli looked at each other, guessing that the foreigner was not lying. " How many firearms did you sell?  " Zhou Mingli asked. "Three thousand muskets and twenty artillery pieces. This is the last batch of goods. They have been shipped out in batches before.  " Zuo Mingchan was startled: "What a big gesture!  " Zhou Mingli said: "The people from Hullons are here not just to catch you, right?  "Dero nodded: "As far as I know, they are also here to do business with the Sui people.  But they will not sell firearms. The troops under Hullens are equipped with firearms from the Opuru Empire, which are much more powerful than those made by us Russians.  The Hurons people knew that the Sui people did not have muskets, so they would not sell muskets as goods.  They came here probably to unite with you Sui people to deal with the Dongchu people.  "    "What?  " Zuo Mingchan's expression changed: "Deal with the Dongchu people?  "    "Yes!  " Dro said: "Emperor Lyman of the Aupulus Empire was an ambitious man. He spent five years conquering all the countries surrounding the Aupulus Empire. The Aegean Empire was the last to be destroyed.  He has no enemies on that continent, and this man's ambition is so big that he can fill the entire sky.  He wanted more than what he got now, so he began to prepare for the invasion of the ocean after the destruction of the Aegean Empire.  " "The Eastern Chu Kingdom is the first stone standing in front of Emperor Leman.  When Hullens sent people this time, he must be uniting with you Sui people and asking you Sui people not to help Dong Chu.  "Zhou Mingli's mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were full of surprise. "It seems that those foreigners in Tongsheng Inn are the ones sent by Hullens.  They went to Yang Shunhui's house. Could it be that they were discussing this matter with Yang Shun?  Zuo Mingchan was silent for a while and said: "You stay and continue to interrogate those foreigners. I will take people to arrest those foreigners in Tongsheng Inn. There is still about an hour before dawn, so it should be too late!"  " He stood up and strode out, calling for the people from the Xiao Riding School to leave the shop again and go straight to Tongsheng Inn. "This city is so beautiful" Peter stood on the second floor of Tongsheng Inn, looking out the window: "The buildings here are  , the food here, the women here, are all so beautiful To be honest, I really want to go deeper into the Sui Kingdom. It would be better to see what Chang'an, which is known as the most powerful city in the world, looks like. Is it Biao?  The capital of the Prussian Empire was even more magnificent.  " "I heard that this country is very big, at least as big as dozens of Rus principalities.  Snow is still falling on the northernmost territory, while flowers are already blooming on the southern territory.  If you were to walk, you wouldn't be able to reach the southernmost point in a year from the north of this empire, and the same goes for the east and west Such a vast land is rich and charming.  His old servant lowered his head and said: "Dong Chu is just a springboard. After the imperial army destroys Dong Chu, it can use Dong Chu as a base to attack the Sui Dynasty."  " Peter nodded: "I heard that there was an empire called Meng Yuan to the west of the Great Sui Dynasty. Its territory was even wider than that of the Great Sui Dynasty. It was an endless grassland that produced the most precious and powerful war horses and the purest and rarest jade.  .  What I have seen is still too little Across a sea, the world here is so different.  The most exciting thing is that the people here are still so backward.  The Sui army was still equipped with steel knives and bows and arrows. How could such an army face the artillery???Possibly able to keep their home?  " "It's so fascinating.  " Peter sighed: "It's a pity that I have to leave this country before I have a good look at it.  "    "leave?  " The old servant was a little puzzled: "Don't we wait for Yang Shunhui's reply?  " "I also want to stay a few more days. It would be best if I have the opportunity to meet the people from the Mu Mansion I heard that the Mu Mansion is the most powerful noble in the east of the Sui Dynasty, with hundreds of thousands of troops. Even the Sui Kingdom  None of the royal family could do anything to Mu Mansion.  We are here to explore the way for the army. It would be a pity to go back without even understanding the enemy's situation, but we have to go.  " He looked back at the old servant and said, "The people sent to capture the Ross rebels haven't come back yet. Apparently there was an accident.  If I wasn't caught by the Ross rebels, or I was caught by the guards of the Dongchu merchants, I was too careless, thinking that I could easily catch the rebels and ask them where they were.  Now, I'm afraid that the people I sent are being interrogated by others. I don't think anyone can withstand the torture, and my men don't have that kind of perseverance. Go ahead and pack your things. Now let's go to Yang Shunhui's mansion and leave the city at dawn.  .  " "Going to Yang Shunhui's mansion?  " The old servant thought for a while and then understood: "It is safest to be in Yang Shunhui's house. The person who accepted your gold will definitely be willing to provide a little help.  " Peter hummed, then turned around and went back. After a while, the old servant packed up his things and took the remaining guards to protect Peter and went to the General's Mansion of Yang Shunhui. They had only walked for less than half an hour, and Zuo Mingchan led  They arrived at the Tongsheng Inn. The people from the Xiao Riding School found no trace of the foreigners. Zuo Mingchan was very upset. He led the people around the street for a while but didn't find them. At dawn, he had to return to Huotongtianxia.  After dawn, Yang Shunhui personally sent Peter and his party out of the city. Yang Shunhui also agreed to their request and allowed people from the Principality of Hullens to do business in Sui Dynasty.  When the old friend of many years saw him off, Peter looked back at Muping City and sighed: ¡°I don¡¯t know how long it will take to come back.  "The old servant lowered his head and said: "Soon, the imperial army will plant the national flag on the walls of Mouping City.  " " Hullens!  " Peter smiled and said: "You are so lucky to have caught up with such a beautiful era.  If you were older, you wouldn't be able to see the glory of the empire.  " "YeahI'm really lucky.  The old servant said sincerely: "Being able to serve you, my respected Emperor Lyman, is the luckiest thing in my life!"
