Chapter 69: The Unlucky Horse Thief
[Ran^Text^Library] "Brother, all the vegetable oil in the warehouse has finally been sold, and after removing the discount from the wooden barrel to the oil shop, I actually got 10,000 taels of silver!" 10,000 taels of silver! In the past few days, I have mastered the best recipe ratio, and when the sesame seeds are harvested, I can squeeze the oil. I want to buy another shop in the capital to sell oil, Steward Qin is clever enough, okay, I have asked Qin Qi to take Steward Qin to the capital to buy a shop and open a shop, this time because there is no shop in the capital, such a good essential oil has been pressed to 180 Wen a catty! Those black-hearted shopkeepers! Our sesame oil is the secret ingredient! You can't let people make money like this anymore! It's a pity that this year's peanuts are planted a little less, so I can only let Wang Zhu go to Jizhou to see if he can collect some back, so that after squeezing the sesame seeds, you can fry the peanut oil, by the way, did you receive the vegetable oil that Qin Qi sent over? Last time I asked you, you didn't give me a reply, when the sesame oil came out, I asked Qin Qi to send you some more, well, when the time comes, I will get you some peanut butter, Qin Qi said, you eat very coarsely, if you go out to patrol the border, you can only eat dry food for more than ten days, you can bring some peanut butter, you can also adjust the adjustment. By the way, I went up the mountain today, I found two good Ganoderma lucidum, I ate one by myself, and the remaining one, I asked Qin Qi to bring it back to you, you remember to eat it yourself, Begonia made me a dress before, made of that purple yarn, that dress is so beautiful, it would be nice if I could sell it......"
Turning the pages one by one, looking at those chicken feathers, the corners of Gu Mohan's lips turned up slightly, and his fingers unconsciously brushed the last sentence: Brother, I really miss you a little.
Missed you......
It was already late summer and early autumn, and the grassland was green with some gold, and the wolf poison flowers were blooming brightly, reflecting the young general sitting on his horse among the flowers.
And the faint chuckle on his lips made his cold face gentle, and brought a thrilling beauty in the sunset.
Yongwu Captain Fu Fu paused slightly, stood more than ten meters away from Gu Mohan, and heard a short guard running past him raise his voice: "General." ”
With a light tap of his fingers on the final payment, he folded the letter with the same font and put it into his arms, Gu Mohan took the helmet and got up.
When he turned around, his face was already solemn and cold, and he said, "Found their traces?" ”
"Found it, they fled to the ruins." Chen Sandao.
"Let's go." With his hand pressed on the back of the big red horse that had already stood up, Gu Mohan turned over and got on the horse and said, "This time, we must kill these horse thieves." ”
Chen San answered, gave a whistle and rode his horse to follow behind Gu Mohan, and after a while, the soldiers who came from all sides formed a fierce cavalry team and galloped towards the west.
The hooves of the horses sounded into a melody, and the soldiers who had been tired and staggered before were full of energy, and their eyes were full of blood.
Fu Fu looked around and hurriedly followed, and his heart jumped slightly.
Outside Ganzhou, along the Mingsha Mountain to the west, is the trade road leading to the Western Regions, that is a desert and grassland, for thousands of years, horse thieves are rampant, these more than ten years are even more powerful, caravans have been robbed, these two years, there are few caravans that dare to take this road.
For this reason, some merchants in Ganzhou and Qinzhou petitioned the government to send troops to suppress bandits.
It's just that the Northwest Army of the Ganzhou garrison is mainly facing the millions of Rouran people outside the Guan, if it is for the horse thief, I am afraid that it will benefit the Rouran people, so the Luo family has guarded Ganzhou for a hundred years, but it really has not fought to exterminate the horse thief.
It's these horse thieves, most of them are Rouran.
When Gu Mohan proposed to go out of the customs to exterminate the horse thieves, he thought that Gu Mohan was just joking, but the new official took office, and he was so young, he just wanted to establish an image for those Luo Jiajun.
Who knows, he actually took 5,000 people directly into the grassland, and for a month, he exterminated more than half of the horse thieves near Ganzhou.

The ruins of Kanzi were originally a small city, located on the border of grassland and desert, and it used to be a large river with abundant meadows next to it, and it also became a pearl on the trade route.
But for some reason, the river was diverted, and the grassland gradually degraded into a desert, and after a hundred years, it became an empty city.
Only when the wind blew through the dilapidated half-collapsed mud houses, it seemed to carry the noise of the old days.
Gu Mohan raised his hand, and the horse team behind him stopped, forming a silent red sea under the starlight.
In the distance, the figure of the ruins of Kanzi was faint in the moonlight and starlight, and the little firelight in those ruins formed a beacon-like storage in the night.
Gu Mohan's hand touched the iron armor on his chest, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly.
There are nearly 1,000 horse thieves in this group, and it is the largest horse thief from Ganzhou to Loulan.
What that girl is thinking about making money, instead of making her work so hard, it is better to open up this golden trade route according to Ji Jing, and the protection fee collected can not only support his soldiers, but also make her easier.
Actually...... I also went to the grinding stone to grind and steam sesame seeds to collect medicinal herbs...... Also raise chickens!

The stars dispersed, and the pre-dawn glimmer turned into a shallow mark in the sky, and the firelight of the ruins in the distance gradually annihilated.
A figure rushed out of the dark grass, and Fu Fu was just about to speak, but the man had already flown in front of Mo Han's horse, and said in a low voice: "General, it's been done, those horse thieves are already very tired after being chased by us for so long, they didn't expect us to chase here, and the security is very lax." ”
Gu Mohan bowed his head slightly and slowly raised his hand.
With the stroke of his arm, the red horse under his crotch has jumped out.
There was no shouting of killing, only the dull sound of being blindfolded by the horse's hooves in the pre-dawn breeze, and the staggered sound of the jingo.
Ten miles away, but only a moment.
When the guards at the ruins of Kanzi realized that they were not right, they opened their eyes, and what they saw was a red warrior who flew into the air in the blur of the morning glow, descending like a god of war.
"Chu Jun!" The guards on the second floor shouted.
There was a panic in the city, and in the best preserved buildings in the north of the city, a pair of well-armed soldiers mounted their horses as fast as they could, and ran towards the north with a tall man in their arms.
"Prince Ganda, our Royal Highness, you go first!" The guard next to him slapped the man's horse buttocks, and led more than a dozen people to turn around and face the Chu ** team that was swarming in.
"Uwang, I'll treat your family well!" The man turned around and shouted, and scolded at those Chu soldiers hatefully: "Gu Mohan, you wait for Lao Tzu!" One day, Lao Tzu will kill your whole family, ****** woman! ”
Before he could finish speaking, the man let out a scream.
The place north of the ruins out of the city was originally a river, which had already become a shallow ridge because of drying, but now it had been dug into a ditch.
In the darkness, the man and the people around him planted directly into it.
Glancing at the big red horse galloping directly from the roof of the ruins, Uwang decisively turned the horse's head and said, "Let's go!" ”
When several people walked east from the secret passage in the ruins, Gu Mohan had already arrived at the edge of the ditch, bent down slightly, and squinted at the man who broke his leg in the ditch: "Prince Ganda, he actually became a horse thief." ”
"Gu Mohan! Our two countries have reached a peace agreement, you can't kill me! Ganda cried out angrily.
"I killed only a horse thief." Gu Mo looked down at him coldly, with a cruel smile on his face: "Ganda, when you set fire to Jiayuguan seven years ago, did you ever think that one of you would also be burned to death?" ”
"You!" Ganda screamed, only to realize that the ditch was actually full of black oil.
The unique black oil in the desert, which kills when touched!
"Ahh
Ganda screamed bitterly, desperately trying to climb up, but in her eyes, she saw a fire.
Gu Mohan threw a torch on top of the black oil.
In the skyrocketing fire, the morning glow erupted, and a layer of golden, orange and red colors shrouded the red-armored young man standing on the edge of the hill.
But it's even colder.
