Delta town.
Some of the Dragon Guard soldiers dressed as caravan escorts were feeding the horses, some were standing guard on the interface, casually observing the pedestrians and residents coming and going, and some were wiping their weapons and playing with bows and arrows.
Liang Zhenwu was led by a bodyguard to a pile of captured weapons.
The bodyguard introduced: "Boss, all the captured weapons are here.
There are too many weapons.
We can't take them away.
If we stay here, we are worried about being captured."
If someone with bad intentions takes it and uses it, they don’t know what to do with it.”
Liang Zhenwu casually picked up a big sword.
There were many gaps on the blade.
He threw it aside and picked up another big sword.
The blade was full of rust and the blade was all rolled up.
Looking from a distance, it was all a pile of broken copper.
Iron, there are few good weapons.
These weapons are useless to people like them, but they can still cause damage and death to ordinary people.
If they are taken away by bandits again, the strength of the bandits will be improved.
Liang Zhenwu looked around and saw dozens of bows piled next to him.
He walked over and picked up a bow and pulled the string.
He was surprised and said: "Hey, this bow is not bad.
Although it is not as good as the army's standard crossbow, it is still pretty good."
These are all bows of this kind."
The escort said: "Yes, there are a total of eighty-six bows of this kind here.
Although they are not new, they have a good range.
These bows are generally used by mercenary archers.
They can be found in almost all blacksmith shops in the West. bows for sale” The Eastern Roman Empire did not restrict civilians from wearing swords and bows when traveling, but they were not allowed to wear military-style bows and arrows.
This was a ban.
Of course, this rule also applied to foreigners in the Eastern Roman Empire.
This time Zhao Ziliang and others came to the Eastern Roman Empire.
None of the Dragon Guard soldiers carried bows and arrows.
Liang Zhenwu thought for a while and said: "Leave the crossbows for some soldiers to equip, and then send all the beryllium copper scrap iron to the blacksmith shop to make a batch of arrows.
I will ask the stewards to buy some for making arrows."
Materials, after buying the materials, let the brothers make a batch of arrows together.
I don’t know when we will leave.
I hope it comes in time.
Without bows and arrows for long-range suppression, if we encounter another enemy attack, we will still be very passive."
"Yes, escort head" Just as Liang Zhenwu finished making arrangements, a bodyguard came over and said, "Headguard, some of the stewards would like to ask you to come over.
They say they have something to discuss."
"Okay, I get it" Liang Zhenwu came to a tavern in the town.
There were two escorts standing at the door.
Zhao Ziliang, Liu Dan, Dugujun, Wan Qingming, Zhang Bi, Qin Zipeng and Liao Zhengkai were already waiting here.
Liang Zhenwu walked in and greeted Zhao Ziliang and others.
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said, "Don't be too polite when you are out, so as not to be seen by irrelevant people and make people suspicious.
Okay, everyone is here, let's start talking now.
The people who were sent to Julu Town just now I have come back.
The Eastern Roman government in Zhulu Town will soon send someone to check the situation.

It is estimated that they will arrive in the afternoon.
Shopkeeper Qin and Manager Liu will be responsible for dealing with it.
This should be between Delt Town and Zhulu Town.
At the same level, sent from Julu Town I'm afraid they don't have the right to take care of this matter.
I guess they just sent people here to check the situation and then report it to each level.
At least they have to report to Adana so that this matter can be resolved.
Let's stay here for a few more days. , when you negotiate, you must Urge them to come up with a result as soon as possible.
We are a caravan after all.
It is very expensive to stay here.
If we stay here for one more day, we will spend more money.
We cannot let them drag it on.
If this matter is solved one day earlier, we will Can hit the road a day earlier” "Yes" Liu Dan and Qin Zipeng agreed.
Dugujun asked: "The officials and soldiers in this town have been wiped out by the bandits.
Should we temporarily take on the responsibility of public security?
Otherwise, the town will be in chaos."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "No, we are outsiders after all.
What does it mean to be responsible for public security?
The East Roman authorities may use it as an excuse to make things difficult for us."
Liu Dan stood up and said: "Now there are no more threats than at home.
There are too many threats outside.
I think we should arrange for you to have two people you can talk to.
They can often be with you.
They can not only serve as a cover, but also play a role in protecting others." to protect” Liang Zhenwu immediately said: "I agree."
Others also said they agreed.
They believed that it was too dangerous for Zhao Ziliang to go alone to fight against seventy or eighty Eastern Roman cavalry during the attack yesterday.
Zhao Ziliang knew that these people were worried about his safety.
In fact, he didn't need anyone to protect him at all, but he didn't mind if he just arranged two friends who he could talk to.
When Dugujun saw that Zhao Ziliang agreed, he said to Liang Zhenwu: "Boss Liang, you can arrange this matter."
"Okay."
Liang Zhenwu agreed.
However, two personal bodyguards were arranged for Zhao Ziliang.
They should not be able to tell that they were specially arranged to protect Zhao Ziliang, but they also had to have force and be able to get along well with Zhao Ziliang.
This candidate was really difficult.
Good to pick.
After much deliberation, Liang Zhenwu still thought of two people, so he sent someone to give these two instructions.
In the afternoon, Zhao Ziliang was sitting at the door of the tavern, wiping his waist knife.
This thing was just an ordinary thing.
An escort should not be equipped with any high-end goods.
Using this ordinary waist knife would not attract anyone's attention.
At this time, two people came over, a Han and a black man.
The Han bodyguard smiled and said: "Old Zhao, why are you cleaning the knife here alone?
Brothers are planning to organize a juju competition.
Let me come over and ask if you are interested in participating. " Zhao Ziliang looked up and saw that it was Zhang Huchen and Bart.
One of them turned out to be a death row prisoner and the other a slave.
They had made many military exploits during the attack on Egypt and killed countless enemies.

Zhang Huchen even became the capital of the death camp because of Zhang Gong.
Later, the generals above thought that these two men were lacking in the ability to command and fight, but their personal bravery was extraordinary and their backgrounds were relatively clean.
After some inspections on loyalty, they transferred them Arrive at the Dragon Guard.
"Oh, it turns out it's you two."
Zhao Ziliang looked up and said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered something, pointed at them and asked, "Isn't it Liang Zhenwu who arranged for you two to come here?"
Zhao Ziliang saw through it, and both of them were very embarrassed.
Zhang Huchen laughed twice and said: "You have noticed it, yes, we have received this errand.
The brothers are bored and are about to organize a juju competition.
Are you going?
ah" Zhao Ziliang put away his sword and said: "Go, why don't you go?
I am too bored, let's go."
After playing a game of jucu, I felt so good all over.
As soon as I finished the game, I heard someone said that the Zhulu Town government had sent someone.
Zhao Ziliang immediately rushed to the tavern.
Zhang Huchen and Bart followed him immediately when they saw it.
When they arrived at the tavern, they Standing outside the door and waiting, when Zhao Ziliang walked in, no one from Zhulu Town had come yet.
Not long after, Qin Zipeng led an Eastern Roman official and several entourage in, while the few Eastern Roman soldiers accompanying him for protection were left outside.
After the two parties sat down, Qin Zipeng, as the chief merchant of the caravan, asked: "Lord Torun, you have also seen the corpses of those bandit prisoners, Centurion Mario of Kars Fortress and his men, as well as the corpses of those bandits.
As serious merchants of Great Qin, you have also seen us."
We were doing business legally in your country, but your officials and bandits colluded to attack our caravan.
At this time, your officials must give us an explanation."
The Zhulu Town official named Tolun said: "Shopkeeper Qin, I have met you several times.
Your request is not too much, but we still need to send people to carefully check whether the truth of this matter is what you said."
After all, the investigation involved a centurion who was guarding a fortress and seventy brave and capable elite Eastern Roman soldiers.
This was not A small matter is also a serious matter.
In addition, we need to report this matter to Adana.
As for how to deal with it, I am afraid we will have to wait for the investigation results to be handed over to the superiors before we can have a solution.
We hope that you will hand over all the prisoners, corpses, horses, and weapons to us."
Liu Dan, who was sitting next to him, said: "Yes, but we must report the matter to our envoy in your country, and they will send someone to take over.
The handover process will definitely require their participation."
Tolun couldn't help but look at Liu Dan in surprise.
He felt that this person was a bit unusual.
He might be familiar with the officialdom.
It would not be easy to fool these people.
"Your envoys are far away in Constantinople.
Although there are also envoys stationed in Adana, it will take at least twenty days to get to Adana from here.
You are a large caravan.
Please wait here.
One day's expenses will increase by one point, and you are willing to bear this expense."
Liu Dan reacted quickly and said immediately: "What you said is not unreasonable.
Prisoners and corpses can be handed over to you, but war horses and weapons cannot be handed over to you.
These are our seizures and our trophies.
You Will the Eastern Romans hand over their trophies to others?
Also, before handing over your prisoners and corpses, you must make a conclusion on this matter.

Regarding the investigation conclusion, our caravan needs to keep a written document."
Torun's eyes narrowed.
He didn't expect the person in front of him to be so difficult to deal with.
He said coldly: "Do you think we will deliberately distort the facts?"
Liu Shan said: "It's not that I think you will deliberately distort the facts.
This is a rule.
Just like you Westerners doing business, you have to make a contract.
This is the spirit of the contract.
After all, there is no basis for what you say.
We have sent someone to report the matter.
Alexandretta official, if you distort the facts and want to frame The officials of the Western Qin Kingdom behind us will never sit idly by to frame us.
If this matter provokes diplomatic disputes or even war between the two countries, this is definitely not a responsibility that one person can afford.
I hope you understand.
Don’t make irrational decisions and behaviors based on the seriousness of the matter.”
Tolun looked at Liu Dan and was silent for a while before asking: "May I ask your Excellency?"
Liu Shan said: "My surname is Liu, and I work as a steward in Qin's caravan.
Lord Tolun can call me Steward Liu."
Torun took a deep breath, stood up and said: "It's very good.
Qin's Trading Company is really a big trading company.
There is a talent like Manager Liu.
I will stay here for the next two days to investigate the whole matter clearly.
I hope I won't disturb you
