Zheng Hong's body turned with Li Kaiyang, and Li Kaiyang at the back said: "General Li, don't worry, this caravan is not without its origins. Even if Wu Zimian has doubts, he will never associate the caravan with my lord." .”
"It's good if you know what's going on. Stop standing and sit down!" Seeing that the other party was on guard, Li Kaiyang said nothing more.
At this time, a servant brought hot tea and brought it to the table.
Zheng Hong walked back to the seat he had occupied before and sat down.
"The Tiger Flag Army has captured Guide Castle. You should have received the news, right?" Li Kaiyang picked up the tureen on the table, brought it to his mouth and blew in the hot air inside.
Zheng Hong nodded and said, "General Li's help will be needed next."
"I will do what I promised Liu Heng." Li Kaiyang said, "My people are guarding Zhenwu Gate to the east. When your army arrives, I will ask him to cooperate with you and enter the city from Zhenwu Gate."
Hearing this, Zheng Hong said with a smile on his face: "I would like to thank General Li in advance."
He stood up from his seat and bowed to Li Kaiyang.
"No need to thank me, this is what I promised Liu Heng." Li Kaiyang hesitated for a moment, then asked, "After taking Yulin City, what else will you use me for?"
Once the Tiger Character Banner army enters Yulin City from Zhenwu Gate, his collusion with the Tiger Character Banner will be leaked out, and there will be no place for him in the court, so he wants to know how the Tiger Character Banner plans to treat him in the future.
But because of his face, he couldn't ask directly.
As a spy of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, Zheng Hong usually got information as a caravan manager, so he was naturally confused. How could he not understand what Li Kaiyang meant.
He immediately assured: "General Li, don't worry, Tiger Character Banner will never treat its own people badly. When things are done, they will naturally express themselves, and the greater the credit, the more benefits they will receive."
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you take down Yulin City." Li Kaiyang said solemnly.
He had no way out and could only follow the tiger-character flag until the end.
"I still want to send the news out of the city in time so as not to disturb General Li." Zheng Hong got what he wanted from Li Kaiyang and took the initiative to say goodbye.
Li Kaiyang did not stop him, but asked: "Do you need my people to help you send the news out of the city? Now that the city gate has been sealed, it is difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to leave the city."
"If General Li's men move too much out of the city, they will easily attract the attention of other generals in the city. It is still up to you to send the message out of the city. General Li only needs to wait for the army to attack the city, open Zhenwu Gate and let the army enter the city. ." Zheng Hong declined Li Kaiyang.
"That's fine." Li Kaiyang said no more.
If the other party could find a way to send the news out of the city, he would no longer care about it. The original suggestion that his people send the news out of the city was just to show goodwill.
tread! tread! tread!
There was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and soon a servant walked in.
"Sir, General Liu from Yulin Guard is here."
"Why is he here!" Li Kaiyang frowned.
After separating from the General Military Mansion, the two went back separately. Unexpectedly, the other party not only did not go back, but instead came to his house.
Zheng Hong said: "Since General Li has guests to receive, I will take my leave first."
"Butler, take Shopkeeper Zheng and leave through the side door." Li Kaiyang ordered the butler beside him.
Zheng Hong handed over his hand and left with the butler.
However, as soon as they walked out of a courtyard gate, they came face to face with Liu Chun who barged in directly in the courtyard in front.
"Young man, I've seen General Liu." The housekeeper couldn't hide at the sight and stepped forward to salute Liu Chun.
"The common people have seen General Liu." Zheng Hong also saluted Liu Chunshen.
Liu Chun stopped, glanced at Zheng Hong, and asked the butler next to him, "Is this your master's guest?"
"How can such a lowly person deserve to be my master's guest? He is just a businessman who delivers leather goods to him. He wants to leave the city and beg our master." The housekeeper explained.
Liu Chun looked at Zheng Hong and asked, "Are you the fur merchant who came to Yulin City two days ago?"
"The general knows the grassroots?" Zheng Hong looked up at Liu Chun with a bit of surprise.
He seemed to be very surprised that the other party knew about him.
Liu Chun stared at Zheng Hong's eyes and said: "I have heard people mention you. The businessmen nearby would like to hide away when they hear that there is war. But when you are here, you will run in wherever there is war. Business Can you make money by doing this?"
"The business of grassroots people is a little different from that of ordinary fur traders." Zheng Hong chuckled.
After hearing this, Liu Chun left in no hurry and asked, "Tell me, general, what's different about your business?"
"Since the general asked, the common people have spoken frankly." Zheng Hong said, "The common people have always done whatever they can to make money in business. Like the things captured on the battlefield, there will always be some that are of no use to you, general, but For businessmen like Cao Min, it can be exchanged for money."
Liu Chun chuckled lightly and said: "Okay, I know, I will go and sit with you when you have time. I might even be able to make a fortune for you."
"Thank you, General, for taking care of me. The common people have become rich, and they will definitely not forget the kindness of the General." Zheng Hong hurriedly saluted Liu Chun with a happy face.
Liu Chun laughed and strode towards the courtyard inside.
It wasn't until he was far away that the butler on the side wiped his forehead with his sleeve and said at the same time: "I was scared to death. Fortunately, I didn't say anything wrong."
"This General Liu is also a man who loves money. Nothing will happen to him." Zheng Hong said softly as he looked at Liu Chun's disappearing back.
The steward said: "Some of these generals don't like money. As long as you can make money for them, you can resell the military equipment."
"Civil officials are greedy, and military generals are naturally even more greedy." Zheng Hong said with a chuckle.
The Ming Dynasty are all loyal ministers and good generals, so what's the matter with their tiger-character flag, so he likes the money-grubbing Ming Dynasty officials the most. As long as there are benefits to be gained, he is willing to do things even to harm the court.
"Let's go! I'll take you out of the house." The housekeeper urged.
Zheng Hong followed the housekeeper and left Li Kaiyang's mansion.
On the other side, Liu Chun entered the side hall.
"Why did you come in so quickly?" Li Kaiyang was stunned for a moment when he saw Liu Chun entering the room, and immediately thought of Zheng Hong who had just left here not long ago.
Before the Tiger-Character Banner army captured Yulin City, he did not want others to know about his collusion with the Tiger-Character Banner.
Liu Chun walked to the seat next to him and sat down. He smiled and said, "It's not funny of you. There is such a way to make money and you hide it from everyone."
"What way?" Li Kaiyang asked blankly.
