Han You began to pick up the flower seeds.
Wang Hai also looked thoughtful.
Lu Baichuan and Jiang Zhui looked at each other.
Fu Yuxiang, his face remains as usual.
Han Bairen's words immediately confused everyone.
Not to mention, if anyone wants to see this group of envoys now, as long as he mentions the word gunpowder, he will be able to do so without any hindrance. Even if he is a beggar, these envoys will have to rather trust him or not.
"Dad, your assumption... is too hypothetical."
Han You didn't know what to say for a moment. Let's not talk about whether his father's speculation was consistent with the facts. First of all, it must be true.
Dad continued to "guess" and said cheerfully: "Dad is now in charge of Beijing and Wei. How can he not know what kind of bad behavior these envoys have? They have all heard about it. There seems to be no harmony among the Goguryeo envoys. No one died, but six of them." The most important person died, but everyone gathered together and died together."
After taking a sip of wine, the father continued: "Then you must meet a very important person. To meet this person, it is not convenient to hold a banquet and it will be dark, so we can only have a banquet in the courtyard. The person you want to see must talk to you. The matter must be extremely important. It is so important that six people gather together, just like in a border town. If the officials from the capital come, then if the local officials disagree, the civil servants and generals will gather together, fearing that they will be fooled by the other party, or something. Something extremely important is being kept in the dark.”
Han You quickly poured a glass of wine for his father: "You continue."
"Youer drinks too. This wine is very delicious. I don't know what's going on. After I drink it in my mouth, it feels so damn good."
Han You: "..."
"The person these idiots want to see is extremely important. It's not the people that are important, but the things they want to talk about. However, these idiots are not familiar with this person and are wary of them. That's why they looked at the courtyard wall and There are archers on the mission. You said that the envoy was killed by someone. Let me make a random guess. I guess it was killed by one of their own people. He may not be someone from the Goguryeo mission, but he was definitely on good terms with them. That person, eighty percent, was the one who arranged the archers. Those idiots in Goguryeo didn’t know the inside story, thinking that the archers were guarding against incoming attacks, but in fact they were just to attack and kill them."
Han You's expression changed again and again: "You mean, the real mastermind is the one who entered the courtyard in advance and killed the deputy envoy?"
"Dad, it's just a random guess. There must have been people from our Zhou Dynasty at that time. It was just a game within a game."
"A game within a game, a game within a game."
After chanting it twice in a row, Han You fell into deep thought.
Dad's conjecture is completely valid. The martial arts day has passed long ago, and these envoys are still reluctant to leave. Isn't it just because of the gunpowder? The most concerned, concerned, and most coveted thing is gunpowder.
In fact, as my father said, there were "disagreements" within the Goguryeo mission. The deputy envoy stayed in Beijing all year round and was a veteran. Just as the envoy came to participate in martial arts exercises, he also brought the eagle shooter. If If someone really used the gunpowder to see the Goguryeo envoy, for such a big event, the chief envoy and the deputy ministers would definitely be present.
"Youer, think about it, even if you use gunpowder to meet the envoy of the mission, someone will need to take the lead. The person who killed the deputy envoy arrived in advance. He should be both the person who killed the deputy envoy and the leader. people."
Han Bairen took a sip of wine and chirped: "You are so powerful that you can be trusted by the Goguryeo envoys and allow them to arrange archers. We have very few people like this in the capital."
Han You did not dare to "underestimate" his father now, and asked humbly: "Dad, do you think he is an envoy from another country, from Yingdao?"
"Not necessarily." Han Bairen shook his head: "It should be from Zhou. If it is from Yingdao, he said that he can recommend someone who knows the gunpowder formula. How could the Goguryeo envoy believe it?"
"But we Zhou people...how can we Zhou people gain the trust of Goguryeo so easily? Since I took over Honglu Temple, I haven't seen anyone take the initiative to go to the Goguryeo mission to make friends."
"Then dad, please guess again."
"Guess quickly."
A group of friends nodded repeatedly, but there was no microphone right now. If there was a microphone, they would have to put the microphone in Han Bairen's mouth and let his father continue guessing quickly.
Han Bairen picked his ears: "Everyone in the capital knows that You'er is going to the East China Sea to rectify military affairs. In addition to the Donghai Zhoushi, there are also Donghai aristocratic families who are anxious."
Lu Baichuan patted Jiang Zhui's thigh: "People from the East China Sea did it."
Jiang Zhui scolded: "Listen to what our father has to say!"
Han Bairen glanced at Jiang Zhui, a little confused as to who this kid was.
"Dad, I think it belongs to the East China Sea. The East China Sea is close to the sea. You need to take a boat to travel between Yingdao and Goguryeo. Since we have close contact with the East China Sea, this matter is directed at Dazhou and You'er. So the East China Sea and Goguryeo are already on good terms. He told the people in Goguryeo that he could introduce them to people who knew about gunpowder..."
He raised his head and drank the remaining wine in the flask. Han Bairen wiped his mouth and said, "Ambushing archers secretly is like facing a powerful enemy. The person being introduced must have a bad reputation. Who has a bad reputation in this capital?" Worst of all, it must be Youer's Yidao Guards. In the world, only the Yidao Guards are the most likely to know about gunpowder."
"Holy shit!"
Han You stood up directly, picked up the wine jar and opened the seal: "Come on, dad, dear dad, I give you a toast."
Han Bairen laughed loudly: "Did Dad get it right?"
Han You laughed along with him, unable to make a conclusion for the moment, but he felt that his father's guess was completely valid.
Except for Fu Yuxiang, the other friends had extremely complicated eyes and expressions. They looked at Han Bairen with incomprehensible expressions on their faces.
It is indeed possible that this is the case, and dad's random speculation is completely tenable.
The only people who hate Han You the most and don't want him to go to the East China Sea are the local snakes in the East China Sea.
What Goguryeo can trust is also this group of local snakes, because both sides had a lot of anxiety in the East China Sea.
However, the Goguryeo mission and the missions from various countries wanted to know most about gunpowder.
Then the local snake told the Goguryeo mission that they could introduce someone who knew about gunpowder, and this group of people would definitely meet them.
I wanted to meet him, but I couldn't do it openly, so I held a banquet in the back garden and didn't go outside.
If the person behind the scenes and the Goguryeo people said that the person they wanted to see was from Yi Daowei, the Goguryeo envoys would definitely be afraid, so they deployed archers.
The Goguryeo envoys, including the Condor Shooters, knew there were archers, so they were shot "unprepared".
Then the mastermind behind the scenes has almost been locked. He comes from the East China Sea, he must come from the East China Sea!
"I didn't expect you to know about this, dad."
Han You was extremely surprised: "Why didn't you mention it to your child?"
"Oh, dad already said it, it's just a random guess." Dad was quite embarrassed: "You're showing off your ugliness, you're showing off your ugliness."
After finishing speaking, the father laughed and bowed his hands to a group of friends. The friends were shocked, including Wang Hai, who all knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"You'er has been trained well." The father's face was full of satisfaction: "They are all tough soldiers, but they know etiquette so well. Dad is not as good as You'er, not as good as You'er."
Fu Yuxiang looked surprised. He didn't expect that the general would become so humble now.
Han You's face was red with embarrassment, and he laughed dryly and said: "Just before, Huang Youwei, the left minister of the Ministry of War, gave the child a list of people related to Donghai Blue Shirt School. They are all in the capital. The mastermind behind the scenes must be among these people. Among them, we will arrest them tomorrow."
"Why is that stupid Huang You so good and capable that he actually helps You'er with suggestions?"
"Well, Mr. Huang has helped the children a lot."
"Is it just his brain?"
Han You was confused. He felt that the person with the highest IQ among the people he knew was Da Lao Huang.
"Oh, don't listen to this shameless guy's random tricks. All his tricks were taught by dad."
Hearing that his subordinates had given advice to his son in the past, Han Bairen's face was full of contempt: "That list is useless. I want to ask you, is the third prince on the list?"
"Three..." Han You took a breath, and the back garden fell into shock and silence.
Han Bairen yawned and took off his boots and said: "The one who can shoot the Goguryeo eagle shooter must be a warrior in the army. There are many aristocratic families in Beijing who raise dead warriors, but they definitely don't dare to bring them with them from the East China Sea." Even if there are dead soldiers, most of them are people who are good at short-hand combat. This world does not allow anyone to wander around with a long knife. Dead soldiers are not good at shooting, but the whole capital can be upright and lead guards with warriors in the army to protect them. Yes, with a bodyguard who is good at shooting, he is just such a master."
"father!"
Han You suddenly stood up: "My dear, I won't drink with you tonight."
Han Bairen smiled slightly: "Go ahead. Finish your errands and come back early to rest. You'er is growing, so you should rest more every day."
