Death Reincarnation Game Chapter 541: The undercurrent of Kucha Gancheng

bsp;There are only two reasons why crossbows and arrows have become contraband.

Firstly, although bows and arrows are also long-range killing weapons, not many people use them. Secondly, even if ordinary people obtain them, they cannot control them well and basically cannot form combat power. There is nothing worth worrying about for the local tycoons.

Crossbows, arrows, crossbows, etc. are different. As long as the intelligence is normal, you can use them after basically playing with them twice, and they can become combat power in a short time.

Secondly, the power of the machine crossbow should not be underestimated. A good steel machine crossbow, if fully strung, can even shoot through armor in a short distance. It is very powerful and quick to use. With a little training, you can When used, even martial arts masters will not be able to survive under concentrated fire.

If hundreds of people are equipped with machine crossbows, they can quickly build up a force among the people, which will directly become a force that threatens the rulers. Naturally, the wealthy people in various places are very afraid of this, lest the machine crossbows leak out and control the people. Very strict.

It can be said that in various places, if it is not the military or directly dealing with some large business groups, it is impossible to obtain machine crossbows. On the black market, the price of machine crossbows is also extremely expensive, with a minimum of one thousand taels of silver. One, which is ten taels of gold, is still a not very sophisticated solid wood machine crossbow. If it is made of fine steel and is extremely accurate and powerful, the price may be more than five or ten times more expensive.

Su Peng once saw machine crossbows besieging Wulin people. When he was in Jiangning County, Han Tuo of the Blackwater Army sent someone to take the machine crossbows when he rounded up Xie An, who killed the rich man and blamed Su Peng. , and in fact, Xie An was injured by a crossbow at that time.

At this time, Su Peng was shocked when she heard Temuerwan'er say that all the escorts in her caravan this time were crossbows.

He had seen the caravan. There were almost two to three hundred horses in the caravan, pulling hundreds of boxes. If they were all machine crossbows and other sophisticated weapons, their value would be tens of thousands of taels of gold.

Regardless of the value of these weapons, they are just the source. This is extremely debatable, because if it is not purchased directly with a big businessman, it can only be purchased with the military of a certain force in the Central Plains.

Su Peng pondered for a moment, then thought of another doubt, and asked Temuer Wan'er: "Miss Wan'er, if all your boxes contain weapons such as crossbows. When we were fighting against the horse bandits just now, Why not take them out and use them? Machine crossbows are the nemesis of light and unarmored cavalry. As long as you take out one or two hundred machine crossbows, you just need to divide them into two or three batches and start firing volleys, and the horse bandits don't need two rounds. They will be scattered...and you are escorting such an important thing, why don't you add more guards?"

Hearing this, Temurwan'er couldn't help but snorted, seeming very angry, but she immediately reacted and apologized to Su Peng: "Su Yingxiong, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snort you, but I just remembered something. Angry things."

"Oh? What happened?"

Su Peng asked, only to hear Temur Wan'er say: "Actually speaking, our caravan entered the Central Plains this time in Qiuci Gancheng, and organized a total of seven large merchants, with a total of three thousand people. Above, more than two thousand people drove carriages and headed to the Central Plains for trade."

"When I went there, there were no problems. But then, there were some problems."

"We went to the Central Plains last month. When my father organized so many businessmen to enter the Central Plains, it was to cover for me. After all, the Central Plains has always been sensitive to things like bows and crossbows. The ban is extremely strict, and stringed bows and crossbows are traded privately. As long as there are more than three, they will be killed immediately."

"The transaction partner I made an appointment with was about ten days later than agreed... In fact, this time I brought 600 guards under my father's command, but I was not the leader alone, there was another A subordinate of my father, he is very skilled in martial arts and has a greater influence among the guards than me. He said that he felt that the people from the Central Plains were not sincere in dealing with us this time, so he wanted to go back first. I couldn't defeat him and let him take away most of it. The **** went back with the large caravan, and I always thought that this transaction would be successful, so I waited for more than ten days. Sure enough, I got these crossbows, but beside me, besides ordinary carriage drivers, there were only There are less than a hundred guards, but these people are my father’s personal guards, so they are always by my side.”

"Because the number of caravans returning first is too large and too concentrated, I have been unable to find a caravan traveling with me in the recent period. However, the contraband here is very serious and banned in the Central Plains. I cannot stay for a long time, so I can only I took the risk and returned to Kuchagan City with my subordinates."

"It is very unfortunate, or maybe it is not accidental, that I encountered these horse bandits on the road... It's just that although we have crossbows, those machine crossbows don't have crossbow strings. This is because the Central Plains people are guarding us. We are afraid that If we cause any trouble there, and the people in the Central Plains have always resisted our various forces in the Western Region, it is possible for them to embarrass us once, so the crossbows have been moved. The result is that although we have weapons in our hands, we cannot become a warrior. ”

Temulwan'er told Su Peng the cause and effect of the matter.

Hearing this, Su Peng relaxed his frown slightly and nodded. In this way, the cause and effect logic was correct.

He pondered for a moment and said to Temuer Wan'er: "Miss Wan'er, although I don't know the situation of your Qiuci Gancheng, I can guess that Miss Wan'er wants to take over Qiuci Gancheng. I'm afraid that many people will feel unhappy, blocking their possibility of going further, right? The guard leader who went to the Central Plains with Miss Wan'er, and the people in the city who knew that you came out to buy weapons this time, did they look down on Miss Wan'er? What about those who are a thorn in their side?”

After hearing this, Temur Wan'er's beautiful and elegant eyebrows frowned slightly. After a while, she said: "Yingxiong Su, until now, I am not afraid of making my family's scandal public... In fact, before Qiuci Gancheng Among the people under my father’s command, there are probably more people who want my life than those who want to protect me.”

"Oh?"

Su Peng was not too surprised after hearing this.

Temulwan'er is a great beauty, but there are many people who want this great beauty's life. Su Peng is not surprised.

Because this is not a love affair between a man and a woman, but a political struggle involving Gancheng in Kucha.

The focus of the struggle lies in the issue of the successor of Kucha Gancheng.

Temulwan'er wanted to inherit his father's Kucha Gancheng, but his father's subordinates and some elders of Kucha Gancheng also coveted the position of power. That is Temulwan'er's political opponent, and political struggles are always cruel. The opponent will not consider her beauty, maybe. Her political opponents also dreamed of making the brightest pearl in the Western Region their plaything after gaining power over Qiuci Gancheng.

This kind of struggle has always been insidious and cruel. And dirty, betrayal, and betrayal are commonplace.

It is entirely possible that Temulwan'er was betrayed by someone close to his father and deliberately leaked her whereabouts to the horse bandits.

And herself. Also know this.

I only heard her say: "Qiuci Qiancheng is very complicated...because Qiuci Qiancheng was originally the prototype of multiple tribes living together. When my father settled here, he absorbed a lot of people. A few people from a large local tribe entered the center of power, and there were some veteran subordinates under his father. Most of the former surrendered because of their father's prestige and the force they wielded, and they were not completely loyal to their father. , as for the latter, many people see their fathers as old. Some want to go further, while others want to keep their glory and wealth and make friends with people from the big tribes. However, their father's military exploits and prestige are too high, so they When my father is still healthy, I dare not act rashly."

"However, in the past two years, my father has gotten older and his health has deteriorated. These people have begun to make moves. However, my father has accumulated power. In addition to the general leadership of the army, he also has a direct **** of more than 3,000 people. They They don’t dare to act rashly, but in the past few years, those people have made large sums of money in private and won over some members of the **** team, so the situation in Kuchagan City has become increasingly unstable.”

"This time I went to the Central Plains to buy crossbows in person, just to go back and equip them for my father's immediate bodyguards, and to train a team of crossbows with a clean foundation and loyalty, as relatives to support my Temuer family. Bing, this is probably what many people don’t want to see, so what happened today happened. Fortunately, I met you, Su Yingxiong, and survived.”

Su Peng listened and nodded. The other party spoke very clearly, letting Su Peng know the general situation in Temur City.

But then, the two of them fell into silence, as if they didn't know what to say.

Temulwan'er is a woman after all. She tried to ease the dull atmosphere and asked Su Peng: "I have said so much, but I haven't asked Su Yingxiong what he is doing in Qiuci Gancheng?"

After hearing this, Su Peng smiled slightly and said, "Don't call me Su Yingxiong. It sounds weird, just call me by my name."

"Why don't you call me Miss Wan'er? It seems very strange, why not just call me Wan'er."

Temur Wan'er smiled and then said: "I think Su Yingxiong is a few years older than me, so I'll call you Brother Su."

Su Peng smiled, acquiesced to the title, and then said: "This time, I am going to visit my friend, Kuangsha Evil Sword Ouyang Qing, who now lives in Qiuci Gancheng. Have you met Wan'er?"

"Crazy Sand Evil Sword Ouyang Qing?" Temuer Wan'er blinked and said: "Does this person have red hair and a somewhat cynical personality? He uses a long knife and wields it like a desert sandstorm. Blow in the face?"

"It's him!"

Su Peng was a little surprised when he heard this. He just asked casually, but he didn't expect Temulwan'er to actually know him.

"Yes, I have seen him... I met him nearly two months ago. At that time, my father went to the desert to help someone recruit people. He was very popular. He often competed with others and always won. Yes, my father was looking for this kind of person with outstanding martial arts skills, so he summoned him to the city lord's palace. I saw him at that time. He was very unruly. He even had a conflict with one of his father's masters and drew a sword to fight, so Very impressed."

Temulwan'er said to Su Peng...

PS: The coast has been a bit rough these two days.

I believe everyone knows about the recent earthquake in Internet articles.

What happened a few days ago was just the first wave, and today is the second wave. Official and military articles are still ambiguous. More than seven high-quality books have been blocked from self-examination, including two platinum authors.

I heard that this is just the beginning, and there will be a third and fourth wave.

Although "Death Wheel" is not a pornographic film, nor is it a city, everyone has seen the city part, and it is inevitably linked to high-level officials.

In fact, the original outline of Coastal City should have been written some time ago or recently about the city. Su Peng came into contact with some of the subordinates of the real enemy, but now, he does not dare to write at all and cannot write...

I am having a headache, and I cannot write some foreshadowings and layouts. If I don’t write about cities, there will be problems with the overall structure. I am having a headache and deleting it these two days.

Now there is a rush of "when they arrested the Jews...".

I have revised the outline in the past few days and try to update it as early as possible. Please forgive me for readers who say that the actual plot has not appeared for a long time...

I sincerely hope that the Internet literature community will not be hurt by Qidian.
