Chapter 246: Gou Shu's Plan to Tubo Enters the Bureau
"I am here to talk to you about something on my master's order."
"Sir, your surname?"
"I should not be allowed to envoy Miaozan, but I only have a name, and my surname is Gou."
"So it was Mr. Gou Shu in front of him, who is the noble master?"
"King Lu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanjin!"
Another prince? Lu Dongzan frowned slightly. He currently has no favoritism for the Tang Dynasty and the princes of the Tang Dynasty.
"What are you worried about?"
Mr. Gou saw Lu Dongzan's concerns and asked.
Lu Dongzan snorted coldly, "The princes of the Tang Dynasty are not good things."
Mr. Gou smiled and said, "Don't be angry. I know you have someone in Chang'an, but you can lose your brain, but you can't lose your demeanor anymore, right?"
Lu Dongzan choked on one sentence, and he took a long time to speak again.
"Well, Mr. Gou, what do you and your master want to talk to me?"
Mr. Gou smiled mysteriously, "That depends on what you mean!"
Lu Dongzan's face looked a little ugly, "Look at what I mean? Mr. Gou, I hate your Tang people's way of speaking in circles. Can't we say it's simpler?"
Mr. Gou nodded repeatedly, "Of course, it's actually simpler that my master wants to negotiate a deal with Tubo!"
“What kind of transaction?”
"You can make your envoys take revenge and make your head proud!"
"Let me take revenge? Can you still kill King Qin Li Chengyu, Prince Li Chongchen of Jibei, and Duke Zhao Changsun Wuji?"
I remember it very clearly. It seems that what happened before made him so angry.
Mr. Gou smiled happily and said, "Why not?"
Lu Dongzan's body trembled slightly, "So now, I want to hear what you are going to talk about!"
Mr. Gou spoke quickly, highlighting four words, "Allied forces, punish Tang!"
After hearing this, Lu Dongzan shook his head repeatedly, "I can't fight. The Tang Dynasty is now strong, and Tubo is not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty!"
Mr. Gou comforted him: "I am worried too much. If Tubo and Tang fight against the enemy, they will definitely be defeated. But what if you and I join forces?"
"Joining with you, King Lu? I'm sorry for my ignorance. I don't know how capable your master is!"
Mr. Gou smiled and said, "The envoy only needs to send one person back to Chang'an and you will know the answer in a few days."
Lu Dongzan's face was gloomy and sunny. The sudden appearance of "Mr. Gou" made him feel a little uneasy.
"Since that's the case, I will trust you once and send someone to Chang'an for two days."
I don’t know what he wants to know. The situation is better than others, but now he is still bringing troops to him!
In Chang'an City, outside the gunpowder workshop, a man was sneaking, and there seemed to be something in his arms.
"Have the stuff brought it?"
A remote place, a masked man is waiting there.
"I brought it, it took me a lot of effort to get it. You have to add more money!"
The masked man's voice was a little cold, "Okay, take it out and show it to me!"
"Okay, I'll give it to you...ah! You..."
I thought the other party would give me a lot of money, but I didn't expect that it would be a dagger flashing by cold light in the end.
He fell to the ground in pain, covering his hands with blood and not worthy of his throat, his eyes full of fear.
The masked man wiped the blood from the dagger and sneered: "Silly guy, everything has been handed down. Do you still have to keep it for you?"
Only after the man on the ground died was hesitant.
The next day, a manager from the Gunpowder Floor returned to the palace to death.
Li Shimin was shocked and angry and said, "Check it out for me! Check it carefully!"
The gunpowder workshop produced a thunder weapon, which was the consensus of the entire Tang Dynasty. The management level was not high, but it could also be exposed to artillery and gunpowder making methods.
Judging from the search, thousands of stagnant coins have been found in his home, and it has been obviously bribed.
Then, there is a problem now facing Li Shimin.
Is the artillery recipe stolen?
There was also a lot of discussion in the court, and this kind of news could not be concealed at all because the identity of the dead was too special.
The officials who had been wanting to contact the Gunpowder Floor before were very nervous at this moment.
If you want to say that the ugly face is definitely the person in charge of the Gunpowder Floor, Zhang Xingcheng, Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works.
Zhang Xingcheng cried and said, "Your Majesty, I have a heavy trust, please die!"
This matter is too serious if it is said to be serious. As soon as the Tubo people left Beijing, one person died when the Gunpowder Floor Supervisor was in charge?
Li Shimin frowned and kept tapping the dragon's desk with his fingers.
"Your Majesty, it has been found out that Wu Feng, the manager of the Gunpowder Floor, has indeed secretly recorded a recipe for making gunpowder!"
Dai Zhou went to the palace to report the case, and the ministers were making noise, and Li Shimin couldn't help but scold, "Bastard!"
Really lost!
"Go and check it out for me. I want to know if there are still people colluding with people in the Gunpowder House, intending to obtain gunpowder method drawings! Also, go and get the gunpowder secret sent by the manager to me!"
"yes!"
Dai Zhou hurriedly took the order and said retreat. If he stayed in the hall again, he would be afraid that he would not know what would happen.
"I really didn't expect that the King of Qin's words would come true in less than half a month. Before that, has the secret of gunpowder been circulated?"
Li Shimin asked coldly when facing the officials.
All officials replied, "I don't know, Your Majesty calms down!"
"Stop the anger? How to calm the anger? Let me tell me, if it was Tubo and Goguryeo had artillery, how should I deal with myself in the Tang Dynasty?"
There is another saying that Li Shimin didn't say, that is, if the aristocratic families have the method of artillery control, will Chang'an be really safe?
All officials knew it well and naturally understood that Your Majesty's words had other meanings.
Dai Zhou led the people around and ran around for three days without stopping. He finally found a clue.
Wu Feng, the manager of the Gunpowder Firm, met a masked man some time ago in a garden.
As soon as he got the news, Dai Zhou led people to the garden.
"The girl who hosted Wu Feng before gave it to me, I have something to ask!"
"Dai Siqing, this is..."
"Stop talking nonsense to me. No matter who you are, you have to hand it over, otherwise the person behind you will not be able to protect your head!"
When the madam Yuanzi saw Dai Zhou's tough attitude, something big must have happened.
He didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly sent someone to search.
A girl named Cui Yuan came, with a slight fear on her face.
"I am Cui Yuan, I wonder what you need me to do?"
He has a good figure but a little worse face, but he has no chance of spending a lot of money on a gunpowder shop manager.
Dai Zhou asked, "When was the last time Wu Feng looked for you?"
"Seven days ago, he said he would take me out of here soon."
"But is there any mysterious person here with him?"
“…”
"Ask you whatever you want! You say whatever you want!"
"Yes! It seems that there is a severity on your face, and you have always been wearing cloth yarn, and you can't see clearly."
Dai Zhou and Li Ke asked, "Do you know, who is the surname of that person?"
Cui Yuan shook her head and said, "I don't know, but Wu Feng called him a sir."
"gentlemen?"
The clue was interrupted, and when Dai Zhou reported back to the saint, he had a lot of sweat on his forehead.
It is hard to find out that looking for a needle in a haystack, because the word "masked" has become Dai Zhou's nightmare.
Good things don’t go out, bad things go through thousands of miles.
There were rumors in the market at some point, and the gunpowder workshop was stolen, and there was a lot of discussion.
The people all said resentfully: "Why don't you say you should protect it well?"
They know better than anyone else what kind of disputes will arise after the artillery law is taken away by the criminals, and it will even lead to war in the end.
As a spy sent back to Chang'an by Lu Dongzan, he ran back directly to report to Lu Dongzan.
Lu Dongzan's expression was really ridiculous at that time, and it was so unbelievable that he could stuff a whole steamed bun into his mouth.
He had no choice but to believe it, but Mr. Gou said that he would send someone back to Chang'an to wait for news. Maybe this news would be what he would wait for.
In this way, wouldn’t the method of making gunpowder have fallen into Mr. Gou’s hands?
A flame of hope ignited in Lu Dongzan's heart. If this thing can be brought back to Tubo, it would be much more affordable than marrying the Tang Dynasty prince!
The surrounding Tubo was not only the Tang Dynasty, but also the Tianzhu and Nanzhao.
A powerful weapon to defend the city is not a powerful weapon to attack the city?
