The bandits in the mountains are outlaws, and they do not hesitate to risk their lives for the sake of wealth, but the premise that bandits do not hesitate to risk their lives is that there must be a glimmer of hope for success, even if it is a fluke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

If you know that you will die, you will not be in danger if you kill a bandit, after all, life is the most important thing, and wealth can only be ranked second.

At present, Hulu Valley is the station of the Pingnan Army, and the passages into the valley at both ends are all tightly guarded by the Longwu Army, and they have no way of knowing how well the more than 3,000 Pingnan troops in the valley have been trained, but no matter what, such a huge number of soldiers and horses are by no means something that they can deal with.

Of course, they were all rabble, and they didn't have heavy offensive weapons, and they didn't have the slightest certainty about the valley where fifty Longwu troops were stationed, let alone deal with the main force of the Pingnan army in the valley.

They are hungry for the gold mines in the valley, but they don't seem to have the strength to take it, and they are too far behind.

The fat under his nose can't be eaten, and the bad mood of the bandit leaders can be imagined.

"Boss, this checkpoint is tall and big, and the guards are also very tight, no matter day or night, the guards are patrolling back and forth on it, and the brothers really can't take it."

Another small leader shook his head regretfully.

"The head of the family can't let the brothers die in vain!"

"Shut up, shut up."

The leader of the bandits looked sideways and shouted angrily: "Lao Tzu just took you over to take a look, who said that he was going to attack the gourd valley, a group of rammed goods." ”

When the bandit leaders heard this, they were immediately relieved, and felt that they and the brothers below did not need to be sent to death.

"Boss, this gourd valley has always been our territory, but for so many years, we just haven't been able to find out that there is a gold mine here, if we had found it earlier, the brothers would have made a fortune a long time ago, but now, we only have to watch."

A small leader of the bandits was very unwilling to cry out.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you can't attack, you can outwit it!"

"Outwitted? What a way to outwit, you can talk about it. ”

"Gather more men and horses, and gather all the families and horses within fifty miles, maybe you will have a chance of winning."

"That's a good idea, for we have only two hundred brothers, but there are three or five thousand men within a radius of fifty miles, and all of them are strong men, and we will be able to rob the gold mines while the farmers in the valley have just begun their training."

"Yes! Most of the people in the valley are recruits, and if they are full-fledged, our good days will come to an end. ”

"If you are in charge, you should do this, Hulu Valley has been our territory all these years, they don't even say hello, they say they will occupy it, and it is too bad to give us face, we must beat them."

"yes, beat them."

The small leaders of the bandits, thinking of the large number of allies behind them, suddenly came to confidence, two hundred people can't help Hulu Valley, three or five thousand outlaws are afraid of something, and they dare to attack Luzhou City if they are provoked.

"Shut up, a bunch of rammers."

The bandit leader scolded him dissatisfiedly, and said angrily: "What are you putting in your heads, if you really summon all the families and horses, how much can we share the gold mine?" Within thirty or fifty miles, most of them are barbarians who plan the land, can we fight against them? If we are not careful, we may be swallowed by them in one gulp, and we will not even have a bone left. ”

When the bandit leaders heard this, they all nodded in approval, their strength is too small, even if they unite with the surrounding bandit forces to destroy the Tang army in Hulu Valley, they will not be able to rob those more powerful bandit forces, and when the time comes, the gold mine that they have worked so hard to get is likely to be controlled by the stronger bandits, and they may only be able to get a small part, and even, they are directly killed by the big bandits who are greedy for money, and their brothers are forcibly annexed.

"What's the master's plan?"

A small bandit leader asked softly.

The bandit leader touched the beard on his chin and said softly: "The strong attack does not have this strength, and it must be outwitted." ”

"How do you think you should outwit it?"

The bandit leader thought for a long time, and then said: "Gold mines need to be mined, and we have so many brothers, even if the officers and soldiers give us gold mines, do you know how to mine them?" I don't understand! Then what is the use of us asking for gold mines, it is better to let them mine as much as they want, and when they bring the gold out, we will intercept it halfway and laugh at the minted gold, so that it is better. ”

"In the master's opinion, instead of trying his best to snatch the gold mine, it is better to directly intercept the gold halfway, a clever plan."

"Boss, the gold in the gourd valley is ready, it will definitely be transported to Luzhou City along the road, and the cotton slope ten miles away is a place where they must pass, intercept it there, and ensure that nothing goes wrong."

The leader of the bandits grinned, with a hideous, greedy grin, as if the gold that the miners of the valley had worked so hard to mine would soon fall into his pocket.

"In charge, the officers and soldiers will definitely send guards to protect the gold all the way, and we may be able to gain a lot from our first raid, but the more we go on, the more careful the officers and soldiers will be, and the less likely we are to grab the gold, so we can't rob it too hard, and it will be safe to rob it every few times."

"What I said is that there are many officers and soldiers, and if we rush them, I'm afraid our life will not be easy."

"I'm afraid of a bird, as long as we enter the woods, no matter how many officers and soldiers there are, we don't have to be afraid."

"That's right, if the officers and soldiers dare to enter the mountains, we can bypass him to death."

The bandit leader pondered for a moment, and then said, "This group of officers and soldiers is not the officers and soldiers of Luzhou, so far, we don't know what their ability is?" If you want to snatch the gold halfway, at least you need to know what they are capable of, so you two go and test it. ”

"How can you be tempted?"

"You go eighty paces away, give them an arrow, and see how they react."

"Boss, this is not very good!"

The two unfortunate bandit leaders who were selected looked pained, as if they were about to go to the execution ground.

The bandit leader glared: "I'm afraid of a bird, eighty steps away, they can't shoot, you just have to be smart, go quickly." ”

"Yes, the master."

The two little leaders had no choice but to get up and walk out of the woods, and felt the bow and crossbow on their backs, ready to walk eighty steps away and release arrows at the Hulu Valley checkpoint.

"Someone, stop."

As soon as the two small leaders walked out of the dense forest, they were discovered by the soldiers of the Longwu Army at the checkpoint and scolded loudly.

However, as if they hadn't heard, the two bandit leaders continued to walk forward.

"What about you? Stop, this is the garrison of the Pingnan Army, and idlers are not allowed to approach. ”

Captain Long Wu continued to shout loudly.

"What's going on?"

Li Fei Shouyu came to inspect, and as soon as he walked up to the checkpoint, he heard the scolding of the captain of the Longwu Military Academy.

"General, two Orions have strayed into the forbidden land, and they are being scolded by their lowly duties."

"Orion? Trespassing on forbidden land by mistake. ”

Li Fei Shouyu frowned, raised his eyes, and nearly a hundred steps away, sure enough, there were two men with bows and arrows, walking steadily, looking really like Orion.

'Where are these two Orions, how can Orion have the audacity?' ’

Li Fei Shouyu grinned, snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of one of the dragon warriors, and bent the bow to aim at one of the bandit leaders.

"Whoosh......"

A sharp arrow flew out like lightning, hitting the bun on the top of the bandit leader's head.

Just before the two bandit leaders could completely recover their senses, another sharp arrow whistled and hit the bun on the top of the head of the other bandit leader.

The two bandit leaders looked at each other's arrows above each other's heads, both stunned in fright, and after a pause, they quickly threw away the arrows in their hands, ran lifeless into the woods, and quickly disappeared into the woods.

Li Fei Shouyu smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at Captain Long Wu: "These two are not Orion, but bandits in the surrounding mountains, Orion doesn't have such courage, if you encounter such a thing again, you must report it in time, understand?" ”

"Yes, I understand."

Li Fei Shouyu nodded slightly, frowned thoughtfully, and walked to the level, returning to Donggu.

In the grove more than 100 steps outside the East Valley, the two small bandit leaders covered their heads, trembling with fright, and the arrows on their buns were still not removed.

The bandit leader and the remaining small leaders also gasped, they wanted to test the strength of the Long Wu Army, but they were severely humiliated before they could make a move.

At a distance of nearly a hundred paces, two arrows in a row all hit the bun, this archery skill is really not comparable to ordinary people, and there are people with such excellent archery skills among the officers and soldiers, which makes all the bandits surprised and apprehensive.

At this moment, the bandits felt that it was too inadequate for them to deal with the officers and soldiers on their own, and that if they wanted to get rich, they still had to gather the strength of everyone.

"Boss, this group of officers and soldiers is much stronger than the officers and soldiers in Luzhou, both arrows hit the bun, let's not provoke it."

"Yes! We only have 200 brothers in charge, and if this group of officers and soldiers are so powerful, the brothers will really die. ”

The bandit leader frowned, looked at the Hulu Valley checkpoint not far away, and said: "People die for money, birds die for food, there must be few archers just now, if you want to be rich, how can you not risk your life, we have grabbed the gold of Hulu Valley, as long as there are not many guards, we can rob it, and give up if the guards exceed fifty." ”

All the bandit leaders nodded in approval, ready to snatch the gold at any time.

In the east valley of the gourd valley, Li An is inspecting the gold mines, although these days, his work is focused on training the soldiers of the Pingnan Army, but now that the first batch of gold jewelry has been built, he naturally wants to come and see, and appreciate the craftsmanship of the goldsmith, which is also a kind of enjoyment.

"General, these are all pieces of jewelry made in this batch, you see."

Tong Sanpang introduced it with a smile on his face, and casually opened a small mahogany box filled with gold jewelry.

The moment the small wooden box was opened, a dazzling stroll appeared in front of Ang Lee's eyes, shocking Ang Lee's eyes.

"Good, very good, fine workmanship, people's eyes are bright, it's a good thing, even the box outside is very chic, it will definitely sell for a good price, haha!"

Ang Lee was overjoyed, apparently very satisfied with the craftsmanship of the master goldsmith.

"General, what else is here? You see. ”

Tong Sanpang's smile on his face became brighter, and he hurriedly took out a small mahogany box.

A gold bracelet carved with a pattern suddenly appeared in front of Ang Lee, once again shocking Ang Lee's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, there are gold hairpins, gold necklaces, gold earrings, gold rings and other gold jewelry.

Li An roughly counted fifty pieces, and if he sold them, he would definitely get a lot of money.

"Tong Sanpang, you did a good job, this batch of gold jewelry can be listed."

Li An patted Tong Sanpang's shoulder and praised sincerely.

Tong San was overjoyed, and nodded hurriedly: "General rest assured, this batch of gold jewelry will be sent to me in Luzhou City early tomorrow morning, and it will definitely make a lot of money if it is placed in the newly opened jewelry store of the grass people." ”

"A jewelry store? Tong Sanfat, you are quite good at planning, if these jewelry are sold to your jewelry store first, and then sold to the people, there should be a big price difference in the middle! ”

Li An looked at Tong Sanfat playfully.

Although Li Ang is not too familiar with business, he is still very clear about the private pockets of later generations, if Tong Sanpang sells these gold objects to his own jewelry store at a lower price, and then sells them to customers at a high price, the difference in price will be obtained by Tong Sanpang, so Li An will not suffer a big loss, so it is necessary to give Tong Sanpang a reminder and let him not have this idea.

Tong Sanpang's heart tightened, knowing that he would not be allowed by Li An to do this, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "How dare the grass people be so greedy, these jewelry are sold in the grass people's jewelry stores, and the grass people only charge a little cost, hehe!" ”

Li An nodded with satisfaction: "Tong Sanpang, it's good that you can think like this, there are no talents to do business under Ben Jiang's command, and he doesn't plan to send someone to supervise you, but you have to record all the accounts clearly, Ben Jiang may send someone to buy jewelry, if the price does not match the account book, Ben will not agree." ”

After speaking, he looked at Tong Sanpang with a deep look.

Tong Sanpang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly agreed: "General rest assured, the grass people will definitely record the accounts gently, and they will never dare to be greedy for an extra penny, absolutely not." ”

"Well, Ben will be willing to believe in you and continue to work hard, the share that should be given to you will definitely not be less, and I will definitely not lose you."

After scaring and scareping, Li An naturally wanted to appease, so as not to chill Tong Sanpang's enthusiasm to continue to work hard, only when his heart was full of enthusiasm, the efficiency of his work would be higher.

Tong Sanpang thanked him for his kindness, turned around and continued to direct the miners and goldsmiths to work, let them work hard, earn more money, and marry a little girl.

Watching the miners and goldsmiths working hard, Li An felt very comfortable, as if he saw countless money piled up in front of his eyes.

"It's fine, there's something unusual outside the East Valley."

Li Fei Shouyu rushed over and reported what happened outside Donggu to Li An. (To be continued.) )
