"Sect Master Ning, you can rest assured. Not to mention that no one is following me, even if someone wanted to follow me, they would not be able to keep up with me. Unless they are immortals, otherwise, they would not be able to escape my anti-reconnaissance. Yes, anti-reconnaissance, hehe, these are the words proposed by the Zhang Family and Wang Family's intelligence agencies."
Zhang Xiaobao heard Zhang Yi's voice again. It should be called Hong Yi, Zhang Yi was a pseudonym. Judging the approximate location, he got out from under the boat and found a new place to stick the receiver on. This way, he would not have to hold it in the water.
"… … Good, don't be careless." Zhang Xiaobao heard the voice of the person who asked the question at the beginning. He missed a few words in front, but after analyzing it, it should be the words' be careful '. But it did not matter, it did not affect the key judgment.
"Yes, I've been very careful. I took a big detour and kept drilling into the tunnels. Only then did I come here by boat. When I was running in circles, I didn't hear anyone's footsteps. When I was in the tunnels, I also didn't hear anyone's movement. After changing boats, it's needless to say. I'm rowing very fast. I don't believe that anyone can keep up with my speed. Could there be someone who can follow me all the way here and then swim? Hehe. "
As Hong Yi talked about the things that happened along the way, he also gave a contemptuous laugh.
His attitude obviously made the other party dissatisfied. With a cold snort, Zhang Xiaobao heard the Sect Master say, "If you were really being followed by someone, and they followed you all the way to the lake, then what is the point of your rowing speed? Not to mention the others, just that Zhang Xiaobei of the Zhang family could easily keep up with the speed of your boat.
It's not like you don't know how good she is in the water. Not to mention her, even the other children could easily keep up with you, or even surpass you. There are many capable people in this world. "
"Yes, yes, Sect Master is right. Ai, that Zhang Xiaobei really is lucky. Even after sending so many ships loaded with firecrackers and gunpowder, they still didn't die. But this time, if they don't die, then their mother will die. Sect Master Ning, I've already made the arrangements, you just need to take out the things."
Hong Yi said in a gloomy tone. Zhang Xiaobao listened from the side and did not show any signs of anger. He had been controlling his emotions and breathing, afraid that he would be discovered. As for Hong Yi's words, he had heard them and decided to tie firecrackers to Hong Yi's body and blow him up bit by bit.
What Zhang Xiaobao was most curious about was who this Sect Master Ning was. From their surname, it was clear that they were from the Great Tang. There had to be a reason why the people of the Great Tang were not living a stable life, and yet they were doing such things. If there was a problem with the Great Tang's policy of benefiting the people, it would have to be improved.
Otherwise, if there was a Sect Master Ning today, then there might be a Sect Master Zhang or Sect Master Wang tomorrow.
But now, he could guess that the other party was a Sect. As for whether the Sect was a historical remnant or a newly established one, it didn't matter. He would know when the time came.
The people on the ship exchanged a few more vicious words with each other, meaning that they would clean up Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family. Then, Zhang Xiaobao heard something important.
He heard Hong Yi say, "I've already memorized the layout of the store. Now, I'll draw it. When the time comes, you can see where to put the gunpowder. Unfortunately, we can only buy the gunpowder for firecrackers and not for the military. We also don't know what the military's gunpowder formula is, but the power of the artillery shells is much greater than what we can see."
"Some people have already studied this matter. I believe that it won't take too long. According to the three ingredients of firecrackers and gunpowder, we can adjust the ratio back and forth. Eventually, we will be able to make the gunpowder for their military.
But only gunpowder is useless. We also need a good smelting technology and a method to make guns and cannons. However, the military's weapons control is too strict. We only got two guns, but six of the people we arranged in the military were exposed.
Fortunately, they didn't know much. After they were interrogated, we lost another four people who were waiting for them outside. They all committed suicide after they found out that they were captured. They didn't leave any other clues. "
This Sect Master Ning also said with a worried look.
Zhang Xiaobao understood that the other party wanted to use gunpowder to blow up his mother. Of course, this was not unexpected. When he discussed with Wang Juan, he had already considered this point, because the other party wanted to blow up his younger brother and sister.
Therefore, he asked Zhang Yi to find people to dig a tunnel and put the firewood pile next to it. Because the tunnel and the firewood pile contained gunpowder, the other party really did have such a plan.
At this time, Hong Yi spoke again, "Sect Master Ning, I'll draw it right away. If you ask me, it's better to organize more people and rob one of their barracks. At night, when they are not paying attention, we can kill our way in. Even if they react later, we can still kill a small team of people.
As for the small team, they have machine guns. When the time comes, we can snatch the bullets and guns and come back to practice. After we get good at shooting, we can then rob their barracks. Maybe we can even snatch the cannons.
We don't need too much. We just need a cannon and the corresponding shells. We can find some craftsmen to figure it out. Although we don't have a good smelting technology, we can use a hammer to hammer out well-tempered steel.
It's just a waste of manpower and resources, but when we leave the Great Tang with the technology and go to other places, there will be more craftsmen there. They will specifically find good ores and do a good job of keeping it a secret. Under the circumstances where the Great Tang is unaware, we can accumulate enough weapons.
Isn't there a rumor that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan want to train their soldiers in the former Turkic lands? After a year of training, they will attack Duoshi. Now that we have the weapons, we can work together with Duoshi to catch them off guard.
There are also the Japanese and a small portion of the former Turkic people who are unwilling to accept defeat. Together with the ambitious leaders of Xinluo and a few small countries in the southwest, we can work together. Even if we can't destroy the Great Tang, we can make them restless. "
"We still can't trust the others so easily, especially the small countries in the southwest. They might betray us. We've already rearranged the route of information transmission. What we did before was just for the sake of showing it to the small countries.
After all, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have already moved. Not only have they transferred a large number of soldiers to Tubo, they're also using the excuse of helping Tubo to transport soldiers and provisions to attack Duoshi at any time, as well as those small countries in the northwest who have other ideas.
Besides mobilizing soldiers and provisions, they're also putting up a posture of war, and they're also offering rewards. The reward for providing technology is especially tempting. If I didn't know that without the lips, the teeth would be cold, and I would have sold out the others.
Since we have such plans, how can we not have our partners have such plans as well? Besides Duoshi, the Japanese, some of the leaders of Xinluo, and the small countries in the southwest probably all want the advanced technology of the Great Tang.
If we're not careful, we won't even know if we're sold out. We'll be eaten until not even our bones are left. Once you're done drawing, you should hurry back so that we don't get discovered. If that happens, all our previous efforts will be for naught. "
Zhang Xiaobao overheard their conversation.
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao's mind was in turmoil. If it really was as he and Wang Juan had guessed, many factions had come together to deal with the Great Tang, then this so-called Sect Master Ning was probably the surviving member of the Ning Provincial Governor's clan that had been their neighbor when they first arrived in Lu Zhou.
Back then, the Ning Provincial Governor had dealt with their entire clan, and they had dealt with it very miserably. Thus, the Ning Provincial Governor should bear a grudge. The survivors would naturally take revenge, not just against their two clans, but also against the Great Tang.
No wonder there was a problem with the Jiangnan Western Circuit. Since they were from the Ning Clan, they had members of their clan doing business in the Jiangnan Western Circuit. Moreover, the Ning family was based in Lingnan Western Circuit's Qinzhou, which was right next to the Jiangnan Western Circuit.
It had been eight or nine years since then. If the Ning family had started to build up their power and plan for revenge, they would have done a very good job. They were no fools back then. Presumably, after fighting with the Ning family, they had learned from their experiences and matured, allowing them to do what they did in the Jiangnan Western Circuit.
As for Xinluo, Japan, Duoshi, the small countries in the southwest, and a small group of people from the Turks who were unwilling to accept this, it was understandable.
This was because the Great Tang was simply too strong, and it never gave them any face when dealing with outsiders. Thus, they were worried that if the Great Tang sent its army to attack, they would lose all their land.
Thus, they were now thinking of ways to get in touch with each other so that they could cause trouble for the Great Tang and make it so that the Great Tang would be powerless to attack. Even if they could buy some time, it would be fine. Just like the other tribes of the steppe, in the end, the steppe tribes would drag things out and eventually occupy the Central Plains.
These were all smart people. They were thinking of secretly manufacturing guns and cannons and then suddenly appearing when he and Wang Juan went to attack Duoshi.
Not bad, a good idea. If they succeeded, he and Wang Juan would lose a large number of soldiers. In the end, his and Wang Juan's status in the Great Tang would plummet, and the people of the Great Tang would lose a certain amount of confidence.
At the same time, the surrounding countries would become more confident. If even he and Wang Juan could lose, why should they fear the Great Tang? A good plan, truly a good plan. Alas, with so many factions working together, they needed a leader.
As for this Sect Master Ning, he estimated that this Sect Master Ning wanted to be the leader, but a leader must have the strength to back it up. Therefore, seeing that he and Wang Juan had to train the army, and still had more than a year to go, he had to use other means to attack first, so as to let others recognize him, at least for now.
As for what to do in the future, that would be the art of struggle in the future.
Therefore, Jiangnan's Western Dao had taken action. One problem after another appeared, and they even wanted to blow up Xiaobei and the others. Now, they wanted to assassinate his mother.
As long as they succeeded, he, Sect Master Ning, would be extraordinary in the eyes of others.
While Zhang Xiaobao was thinking, Sect Master Ning and Hong Yi were still discussing related topics on the ship.
After a while, Hong Yi said, "Sect Master Ning, it has been drawn. The layout of the store is like this. Where do you think the gunpowder should be placed? Also, how should we arrange the manpower? "
"I haven't thought about it yet. Go back first and stabilize the situation over there. Tell the workers to slow down. You have to think of a way to get the two owners of the store to agree to your proposal. That is to say, dig a longer tunnel underground. When I say a tunnel, I don't mean a tunnel with only one exit and fork, but an entire area.
When the time comes, we will also dig under the house next door. The house has already been negotiated, and we will buy it tomorrow. Once the digging is about to connect, we will stop and wait for things to be ready. Zhang Qiaoer will also come over to eat.
We will pay the price of a few people's lives to dig through the thin gap. Someone outside will be responsible for the assassination and lure the Jang Wong Clan into the tunnel. Then ….. boom, the Great Tang will be in chaos. "
As Sect Master Ning's voice reached Zhang Xiaobao's ears, Zhang Xiaobao couldn't help but admire him. It was a good plan, but unfortunately, it was not thorough enough.
Hong Yi said, "Well, I will go back immediately and wait for you to send someone to contact me. Don't worry, I will definitely persuade the two owners of the store. Sect Master, what about the capital? The people in the capital don't dare to make a move now. Some of the people who were originally arranged have also been withdrawn. They are afraid that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan will find them.
They are all Japanese, and some of them were originally from Tibet. Should we let them sacrifice themselves and assassinate Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan when they go back by train? Even if they are lucky and can't be killed, they won't dare to act rashly. "
"No, continue to lurk. They are not lucky, they are capable. If we really do something to them, they will definitely find out that Japan is involved. At that time, they will directly force Japan. Maybe our contact with Japan will be cut off.
Wherever they are, we must not make a move. It is said that they are little immortals. As long as they are in a certain place, they can immediately grasp all the situation there. We have to be careful. It is not the first time that others have been dealt with in their place.
Otherwise, when they were in Hangzhou, why didn't I dare to make a move in Hangzhou? There were also a few of us in the Wangfu, because I always felt that if they were in Hangzhou, my plan would never succeed, and I would also be caught.
At that time, I had such a feeling, so I escaped. At that time, I was in the Jiangnan West Road, not the Lingnan West Road. You have followed me for a few years, so I believe you also know how accurate my intuition is. "
Sect Master Ning's words once again passed into Zhang Xiaobao's ears. Zhang Xiaobao admitted that the other party's intuition was very accurate. However, his intuition did not tell him that he and Wang Juan were still in Hangzhou. His intuition was really bad.
"Well, Sect Master Ning, then I will take my leave first. Take care of yourself." After Hong Yi finished, Zhang Xiaobao heard footsteps. After waiting for a while, the sound of someone paddling sounded and gradually went away.
Zhang Xiaobao thought about it and did not leave immediately. He intended to listen to the situation again.
Sure enough, it did not take long before the sound of music came from the flower boat. The sound of the Jie Drum playing spread far and wide. After a while, from the east side of the lake, another flower boat was playing the same song. There were also women singing a small tune as they came towards the boat.
