Xianyu's tribe was not the most numerous of the eight tribes, but he was the richest and strongest. One of his sons has been living in the Great Zhou as a medicinal herb merchant, and in recent years he has been able to get into the government.

Xian Yu said: "I agree to attack the city. ”

He laughed as he spoke, "I'll give you a big gift then." ”

This time, they had already agreed that whoever contributed the most would get more when they captured the city.

In the past, they were the ones who fought and who went to whom, but this time they were rarely opposed, because they were the same as before, everyone wanted to attack the city, and they valued the money, food, and women in the city. As for the 100,000 army of the Marquis on the edge of the town, none of them wanted to touch it.

However, their original plan for this trip was to take down 100,000 Northern Xinjiang troops first, take the town border marquis, and then break the city.

Because everyone wants to preserve their strength, no one wants to face the border marquis of Shangzhen, so they rarely came up with an idea, their eight tribes formed an alliance, and they followed the methods of the Han people, and rewarded them for their meritorious deeds, and the tribe that contributed the most this time got the most.

"Father Khan, something has happened. Outside the tent came the voice of the eldest son, Tar.

Xian Yu suddenly got up and walked out, "What happened?"

Tal stepped forward, and he whispered a few words in Xianyu's ear.

Xian Yu's face changed greatly, he returned to the tent and put his hand on his chest and said: "Xian Yu is one step ahead today, and the siege of the city will be discussed tomorrow." He followed Tal and left.

The remaining seven looked at each other.

Keree said: "Didn't you talk about the siege just now, why is this going to be talked about again, what should we do now?"

Bai Zhen said: "I don't know if he got any news, or just wait and see!"

Xianyu followed Tal back to his tent.

Xian Yu said anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what the hell is going on?"

Tal said: "The details are not clear, only the news was sent back that our things were detained when they entered the city." ”

Xian Yu said: "Could it be that there is a leak of the rumors?" Tal, hurry up and let your brother pay attention to the city defenses of the two cities, and if there is any change, he will return immediately." ”

Tal should be leaving.

Xian Yu was extremely depressed in his heart, he should have thought that the Chen Governor's Mansion was unreliable.

The eighteen carts of medicinal materials were precious, but more importantly, the eighteen carts contained the gunpowder he had prepared for the town's border marquis. This small amount of gunpowder is an important part of entering the northern frontier of the palace this time, which is used to blow up the city gate from the inside.

But now.......

He really responded to the words of the Han people, lost his wife and broke his army, he always thought that Taicheng could be easily taken by him. ”

Xian Yu never closed his eyes all night, and he kept looking for what was wrong.

Until the news came one after another.

Tal looked excited, "Father Khan, it's not like someone has discovered anything at all, that Zhou Wang Chunsha wanted to eat our medicinal herbs." She has now released a message, saying that she is looking for the merchant who will receive these eighteen carts of medicinal herbs. ”

Xian Yu said happily: "Okay, God really helps me." Tell the other tribal leaders that everything is planned to remain the same, and that it is still a siege. ”

Tal was ordered to leave.

The army of the eight tribes of the Hu people continued to advance. It's just that the direction is not at the edge of the town, but the two cities of the border city and the Taicheng.

At the same time, the three medicinal herb merchants in the border city had already broken their heads at this moment.

"My Bai family paid 300,000 taels. ”

"Three hundred and one thousand. ”

"Three hundred and twenty-two thousand. ”

……

The three of them shouted in the hall.

Governor Chen said in a low voice: "This batch of medicinal materials is worth four or five hundred thousand taels of silver, Master Bai is still good at being a man, and he didn't complain much about the officials this time, so it's better to ...... these."

Master Bai deliberately looked for him, they didn't want to find out who was wrong now, they just wanted to get the medicinal herbs back. As for the reason, the buyer of this batch of medicinal materials has already been ordered, and if not, they will compensate a huge amount of silver.

Governor Chen didn't want to lose the Bai family's business, so he came to persuade him.

Dong Ruyi snorted coldly, she interrupted Governor Chen's words, "What's the best? Do you know how much the price of medicinal materials has risen now? It's useless for anyone to persuade me today, the one with the highest price will get it." ”

Governor Chen shut his mouth in disgust, he looked at the Bai family in the hall, and said that he had done his best.

Master Bai got up and said: "These eighteen carts of medicinal materials are worth 400,000 taels, and my Bai family is willing to buy them back for one million taels, I don't know what His Royal Highness King Zhou wants?"

Dong Ruyi said lightly: "I don't know how much silver this car of medicinal materials is worth, but I know that the medicinal materials in the border city have tripled now, is Master Bai bullying me for not understanding the market?"

Master Bai was angry in his heart, this was originally their family's thing, and now that he was deducted from the full price and bought back, what do he want?

The other two families began to ponder.

"One million taels is indeed less, and my Zhang family is willing to give one and a half million taels of silver. ”

Old Man Bai was angry, he gasped for breath, but fortunately, the rest of the Bai family hurriedly handed over the medicine, so that Master Bai would not be angry.

When Master Bai took a breath, he roared: "One million and eight thousand taels." ”

Everyone looked at Old Man Bai.

Dong Ruyi said in his heart: "What is he doing? With such a blatant bid, he is not afraid that she will suspect those eighteen carts of medicinal materials?"

On the day she confiscated the medicinal herbs, she sent secret guards to inspect them.

It's not that there is no war money, but it is naturally not so easy to distribute war money under her nose.

As for the inspection, she just took precautions to prevent the Hu people from exploiting this loophole.

Without Dong Ruyi's teaching, the dark guard knows how to do it. They did not touch the seal of the box, but turned the box upside down and pried the bottom of the box directly.

The case back opened, and everyone was startled, and gunpowder was placed in the herb.

Dong Ruyi was also shocked, she couldn't understand what Governor Chen wanted to do. She immediately thought that maybe Governor Chen was also being used.

But what if not?

Dong Ruyi's heart sank slightly, if the Chen Governor's Mansion really colluded with the Hu people, then the matter would be a big deal, and the Chen Governor's Mansion would not only affect the Chen family, but also the Dong family.

She decided to give Governor Chen a chance, that is, to see if he knew about the eighteen boxes of things.

Because of this, there is the following thing.

"Two million taels, the two of you are really sorry this time. The old man of the Zhang family said with his fists clenched.

Master Bai rolled his eyes and fainted directly.

Uncle Bai asked the old man to be carried away, and then said: "Master Zhang is a good means, just buy those for two million taels, don't smash them in your hands." ”

After the uncle of the Bai family finished speaking, he took his leave directly.

Dong Ruyi said in his heart: "I see. "The meaning of the Bai family is very simple, that is, they want this batch of medicinal materials very much, but they don't have to want it. The subsequent behavior is to deliberately raise the price.

Dong Ruyi said: "Now it's the Zhang and Wang families, both of them have the highest price!"

Master Wang said: "Since the prince has spoken, then Wang will give two hundred and fifty thousand taels." ”
