Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 86 A deal, a big fish caught

Two days later, a dozen carriages stopped thirty miles outside Luoyang City.

All those who got off the carriage were Tubo people.

However, although they were foreigners, the Tubo people were not uncommon in the Tang Empire, which had developed foreign trade, so they did not attract people's attention.

Soon, Zan Po and Qu Zhenyun from Luoyang City arrived here together.

"General Qu, this is all the money we brought from Tubo this time!"

Zanpo opened the tarpaulin on the carriage, and a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared from inside!
"Gold! It's all gold!"

Qu Zhenyun swallowed hard.

"May I ask, how many taels are there?"

Qu Zhenyun asked carefully.

"Two?" A Tibetan leader who gave the money laughed, "It's by kilogram! A total of thirty-five thousand kilograms of gold!"

Qu Zhenyun was shocked when he heard this. After doing some calculations, he realized that each car was almost three thousand kilograms of gold!
"General Qu, look at all my money here, can you also give me all the shells?"

Zan Po made a final effort, but Qu Zhenyun immediately understood clearly and shook his head decisively: "This time the money is not enough, I can come again next time, don't worry! Thirty-five thousand jins, that's 35 taels! 1 taels of gold a piece cannonballs, I’ll go back and prepare 35 more! Let’s meet here!”

Po Zan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but express her doubts: "General Qu, it's not that I won't give you money, it's just that with so much money, do you have to take it back to your house? Aren't you afraid of being discovered? As far as I know, there are soldiers looking through it when entering the city."

Qu Zhenyun remembered Yang Yanzhang's advice and immediately smiled: "Your problem is naturally a big problem in the eyes of a little person like me, but with you here, is it still a problem?"

"What do you mean by General Qu's words?" Po Zan was a little confused.

"What I mean is that the messenger has great hands and eyes, and he must have made many friends in the Tang Dynasty! Since you are confident that the cannonball will reach Tubo from Luoyang, why don't you do me a small favor and ask the guards in the city to let me go directly? ?”

Zan Po was dumbfounded: "You want me to do this kind of thing with a large sum of money from me? Is this appropriate?"

"Of course it's appropriate! With this money, I can win over others in the future and avenge the death of General Qiu! If I cause trouble here, it will benefit Tibet without any harm! You don't even understand this, right? "

When Po Zan heard this, she became happy: "I didn't expect that you not only took the money for your own enjoyment, but also remembered to avenge General Qiu! Okay, I'll help you with this!"

After thinking about it, Po Zan said seriously: "After the city gate guards change their shifts this evening, just bring your money and enter the city! If someone stops you, just cough, and someone will naturally come out to help you. !”

Qu Zhenyun nodded: "Then it's settled! The shells will probably be delivered tomorrow, so be prepared to respond."

Zan Po responded, but then reminded her threateningly: "I can let you take the money away today, but if you can't send me the shells, don't blame me for exposing you anonymously!"

Qu Zhenjun said: "Don't worry, the shells will arrive tomorrow!"

……

After bidding farewell to Po Zan, Qu Zhenyun slipped into the palace.

"Queen Mother, everything is settled! Po Zan said that I should go into the city with the money in the evening. If I get stuck, I just need to cough and someone will come to rescue me!"

Wu Zetian's eyes suddenly turned cold: "I want to see who is so bold tonight!" Yang Yanzhang next to him immediately reminded: "The cannon goes from Luoyang to Tubo. I don't know how many thieves will be involved along the way. The Queen Mother Don’t expose yourself at this time and scare the snake away!”

Wu Zetian took a deep breath: "Okay, I will just bear with you for a few more days! If we find these thieves afterwards, we must not be lenient!"

Yang Yanzhang was also extremely disgusted with traitors, so he decided to go with Wu Zetian to see who dared to be so bold and open the door to Tubo.

The sky quickly darkened. Qu Zhenyun went out of the city again. After confirming that there was no shortage of gold, he called to the Tibetan people around him: "Come on, follow me into the city!"

There were a total of twelve carriages in front and behind, and soon they arrived outside the east gate of Luoyang.

The guards had just been changed here, and everyone was in high spirits. Seeing so many cars entering the city at night, they immediately became alert. Several soldiers came straight over, pretending to look through them.

Qu Zhenyun immediately waved his hand to stop them: "Wait a minute! These are things used by women. If you look at them, wouldn't it be rude?"

The young general at the head did not take it seriously: "You said it is used by women? If you don't see it with your own eyes, who knows whether what you said is true or false!"

Seeing this, Qu Zhenyun immediately coughed heavily. As a result, a head immediately popped out from the top of the city and shouted loudly: "Let him pass! You are so rude to the people, and you are not afraid of giving the Queen Mother a reputation when you see one harassing another." Discredit?"

As expected, everyone retreated, and Qu Zhenyun passed smoothly.

Yang Yanzhang looked at the speaker in the restaurant next to him, and his expression became strange.

Because this was none other than Na Yan of the imperial court, the prime minister, and Wu Chengsi, Wu Zetian’s nephew!
Wu Zetian also froze up at this time, and then trembled wildly, obviously very angry.

Yang Yanzhang saw something strange about Wu Zetian from the corner of his eye, and immediately raised his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, murmuring: "Ouch! Where did the mosquitoes come from, they actually flew into my eyes!"

When Wu Zetian heard this, she immediately kicked Yang Yanzhang in the butt, and then angrily shouted: "Stop pretending! Do you think I am a fool for still acting for me here?"

Yang Yanzhang was still rubbing his eyes: "Queen Mother, there are really mosquitoes in my eyes!"

As he spoke, he released his hands and looked at Wu Zetian. When Wu Zetian saw that his eyes were red, she was stunned for a moment, and then she believed him a little.

However, being interrupted by him, Wu Zetian lost some of her anger, and she was able to speak calmly: "Yang Yanzhang, do you think this is a coincidence, or is Wu Chengsi really bribed by Po Zan?"

Yang Yanzhang didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he immediately pretended to be stupid: "I don't understand what the Queen Mother means, how could Wu Chengsi be bribed?"

"Are you blind? Just now Wu Chengsi shouted from the top of the city, and Qu Zhenyun came in smoothly. Don't you think it's strange?"

Yang Yanzhang looked stunned: "What? Did Wu Chengsi shout that voice just now? Sorry Queen Mother, I was confused just now and didn't see the situation clearly! But listening to the Queen Mother's description, it seems that Wu Chengsi was really a little uncomfortable. OK."

Wu Zetian was almost angry and cried: "Wu Chengsi did this kind of thing, and you came to pretend to be crazy and act stupid for me! Are you working together to make me angry?"

"I dare not!"

"Everyone in this palace has been impeached to death by you. What else do you dare not do?"

Wu Zetian wanted to have an attack, but was afraid that Wu Chengsi would notice if the noise was too loud, which would affect the search for other cancers, so she got up angrily and returned to the palace.
