Chapter 45: Tail
"Bayan, you abandoned the secret and served for our Daming Jinyiwei. It was the right thing in the incident. We are not responsible for what you have done before. I still hope you can continue to work hard. Wu Zhengyu said earnestly, which was completely like the teachings of the elders to the younger generation who were not far away.
After saying that, the elder Wu stretched out his arm to save the lost lamb and patted Bayan twice on the magnificent shoulder of the Mongolian man, "Well, come on!"
"Well, I'll work hard!" Cao Muwen smiled secretly and almost blurted out this sentence.
Bayan looked at a loss and didn't seem to know much about the rhetoric of the Central Plains. No wonder he is so stiff that he wants to chew stones in Chinese, and it is a little difficult to understand this language art.
Wu Zheng doesn't care. Keep up the good work and continue to attack. This carrot and stick policy is not used by others.
"However, since you are going to join us, you have to try your best and don't do anything~~~" Wu Zheng said that he obviously stopped here, and then he could understand what he was referring to without saying it. Since Bayan has "betrayed" once, one side can't stay. Don't betray the other side. He is not human inside and outside. Just like Wu Sangui more than a hundred years later, he turned against the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and finally became the laughing stock of a generation from a heroic man.
Although Bayan doesn't speak Chinese well, it doesn't sound like a problem. Seeing how he was embarrassed, Cao Muwen knew that he understood what Wu Zheng meant.
Cao Muwen stared carefully at Bayan's facial expression and eyes. He knew that any psychological change in people would be revealed from an expression on his face, no matter who he was and how trained he was; no matter how subtle his expression, how fine his eyes were, and how well he concealed it would always be revealed. As Dr. Carl, a powerful lie detector in the American drama Don't Lie to Me,
Non-verbal behavior always conveys a large amount of information about communicative subjects. In this case, Dr. Carl introduced the resistance of facial expressions in non-verbal behavior and found the universality and cultural differences of facial expressions, so as to further explain the importance of facial expression research in non-verbal behavior.
Cao Muwen was very infatuated with this kind of American drama at that time, which not only had his own taste, but also greatly helped him with his "work". ~~~ indifferent in Bayan's expression?
Is it strange? That's right! Ba Yan's mouth was so helpless that he seemed to exude a dead breath. Wu Zheng glanced at Bayan for a while, as if waiting for his answer. Cao Muwen was very suspicious.
After a long time, Bayan's frown eyebrows unfolded.
There seemed to be a sudden look in his eyes. Cao Muwen was shocked by the rapid transformation. This guy has changed his face!"
Wu Zheng seemed to take a breath and looked at Wei Bingwen with a relaxed face.
Bayan said, "Well, I'll do what you say, but I also have a small request."
"Okay, as long as it's not too much, I can promise you." Wu Zheng thought for a moment and replied.
"I just hope that you'd better listen to my advice when I take you to the station. After all, I am familiar with the situation there. Bayan was stunned, "I'm also planning for myself. If anything happens to you, just like Li Baihu and others before, I don't have a good end. If you accidentally catch them, it's a death. If you die, I won't protect you!" Bayan did not avoid suspicion and said all his heartfelt words.
"Good guy," Cao Muwen shouted in his heart, "It's worthy of being a bright Mongolian sweat, and he even said so blatantly. But it really makes sense. Now we are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can run away if they make mistakes.
Wu Zheng also thought so. He thought that Bayan would raise some other conditions! It seems that this guy is really worried about his life. Hey! Suddenly, why did Brother Bu accept such a guy? What a misfortune for the family!" Wu Zheng felt a sense of gloomy heart. It's cheaper for us."
A group of seven began to pack. Zhang Orion and others are taking care of business outside. Now west of the sun, there are fewer merchants and buyers, so they have also sorted out the harvest of the day.
Sun Xishan, Cao Muwen looks at the faintly visible mountain elu in the south from afar. Where is the Xifengkou? Now he is dressed as a Mongolian hunter, and so is Wu Zheng and others around him. However, although Mr. Wu is still sloppy and shabby, he can still conclude from the clothes that this is the boss.
Under the leadership of Bayan, the seven people in the group said goodbye to Zhang Orion first. After bringing up all the guys' affairs, they followed the Duoyan Mongolian caravan all the way, pretending to be connected with them.
"Quick, follow the merchant from behind." Bayan turned his head and said to Wu Zheng, "This passers-by are from thousands of residences on the east bank of the Fen River. Looking at their appearance, they are going to suddenly sell some goods obtained today's camp. We can also pretend to be the same purpose as them, which is not suspicious."
Wu Zheng nodded. OK," it seems that he has some trust in Bayan.
Bayan said again, "I'll go to the front to say hello, so that in case people there find us following us all the way, they won't speak and be suspicious."
Say it, put your legs together and urge the horse to run forward.
It won't be long before he comes. Bayan said, "It's okay. Those people really go there to sell goods. The head is dragging wood. He is an old trader. It's nothing wrong."
With his words, Wu Zheng also let go of his hanging heart. It seems that the beginning is not bad, and the rest is to consider how to find out some important information.
Wu Zheng thought to himself, "It's not a big deal to have this plan at the top. It's just that it's difficult to go deep into the grassland, the conditions are bad, and no one is willing to do it. It's just~~" The song "two" added to his already wrinkled forehead." However, Li Mo's sudden death made this task seem strange and dangerous. The main task now is to find out the specific cause of their death.
Wu Zheng recalled his previous explanation to his subordinates, and they also agreed that it was more appropriate. Because our mission itself is to collect intelligence, and there is no definite standard or goal. The priorities can be controlled by yourself, which is easy to add fuel and vinegar. But about Li Mo, it is different. The death of him and his men made an ordinary thing unusual.
"Who on earth killed them?" Wu Zheng has no clue.
"Big boss, I don't think he is from Duo Yanwei. I think~~~" Cao Muwen had told Wu Zheng about his thoughts before, as if the boy had some concerns. Wu Zheng urged, "Speak quickly, don't hide it."
"I think it should not be Duo Yanwei's person. The reason has been said before, but if someone else did it, who is it?" Cao Muwen had an ominous feeling in his heart.
I remember that during the Zhengde period, the Tatar "little prince" Boyan Monk led tens of thousands of iron riders. It seems that it's not far from now?
Cao Muwen sorted out the news he had received before, or his own ideas, and told his concerns and judgment.
"Could it be done by Tattars?"
As soon as this came out, Wu Zheng and the others next to him were shocked. Wu Zheng muttered, "You can't talk nonsense, but~~~ it's not impossible."
He pointed to Cao Muwen and said, "Go on."
"I think this Tatar has had a hard time this year, and the number and extent of looting have greatly increased. And, my lord, do you remember? Even how many offerings did Duoyan Sanwei pay tribute to? Shouldn't it be dominated by horses and camels? Cao Muwen thought of the news he had learned from some border merchants chatting before.
"This," Wu Zheng thought for a moment, "Yes!" Suddenly, he realized and looked straight at Cao Muwen, "Yes, the annual offering should have been the most horses, followed by camels and other herbs, furs and so on. But several times, I remember that it was Duyan Sanwei who came to say that there was a plague on their horse farm and many horses died. Therefore, most of the tributes were made by camels and herbs. The court also sympathized with their hard work in raising horses. Since many horses died, they did not delve into it. They also saw that they would no longer attack horses at any time, but the empty parts were covered with the same camels and herbs, so they did not pay attention to it. In this way~~"
"In this way, it has been two or three years." Cao Muwen said, "We must have deliberately concealed the number of horses of Duoyan Sanwei. There has been no horse in the past three years, so the number of horses they have now must be quite large, and the pony at that time has now grown to be old enough to ride and run.
Duoyan Sanwei has anti-meaning!? This bold inference is not what Wu Zheng can imagine. He doesn't have the ability to think about such a big thing. That is, Cao Muwen, who traveled through time, knew that there seemed to be such a small frontier event in history, and then came up with the recent developments to come up with this hypothesis.
But~~. Reverse? Against whom? How to reverse? True or false? Duoyan Sanwei is a Mongolian, who belongs to the same branch as Tatar and Whara. However, he followed Chengzu to fight the world at the time of Jingnan. Later, Chengzu became a matter, which was relatively close to Daming, but other Mongolian tribes still maintain this hostile state with Daming.
Byan Monk became the Mongol Khan, and now he is called the "little prince" by the Ming people because he was only a yellow-mouthed child when he ascended to the throne. This man is ambitious and wants to restore the glory of the former Mongolian Empire and have a vast territory.
Maybe he has started.
First of all, we should attract comrades-in-arms and strengthen our power.
