As soon as the rain became lighter after noon, the three thousand Ming troops at the foot of the prince mountain finally relieved themselves after a noon, and after eating something hastily, Chang Yu ordered the camp to go out of the mountain.

The horse bandits of Tianwangzhai now have a new identity, but the logistics personnel who are willing to serve this army are grateful, and even have unexpected joy, the officers and soldiers did not confiscate their silver and food, and even let out the words that as long as they behave well, they will not only be let go back to the mountain after this battle, but also rewarded with silver.

The horse thieves led by Yuan Wentian were naturally overjoyed, but some people secretly muttered, don't you want us to go into battle to kill the Tartars......

Although the mountain road is slippery but still wide, but after walking for more than ten miles, the consequences are getting narrower and steeper, and many places are only allowed to be passed by one horse, if you deploy troops here, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After walking for a few miles, the mountain road is slightly wider in the evening, and there are many villages and many people in the surrounding valleys and slopes!

It must be the people outside Qingzhou who took refuge in the mountains, Chang Yu saw from a distance that most of the refugees had built temporary grass huts under the woods or rocks, and the family nested inside.

Seeing the sudden appearance of a large number of soldiers and horses in the mountains, these people were immediately panicked, and they were about to flee but were appeased by the front army: We are the guards of the capital who went to Qingzhou to help, and don't panic when passing by here.

The brave watched from afar, and the timid still quickly hid in the mountains and forests, joking, what kind of good things are the officers and soldiers?

Standing on the ridge of the mountain, Chang Yu looked at the refugees scattered around him for several miles, and couldn't help frowning and whispering: "Why are they all crowded together."

"The horse thieves in the mountains are troubled, and it is safer for more people to be together" Li Muxian said casually, Chang Yu was in a trance, and asked someone to call Yuan Wentian: "How many people can live in your cottage?" ”

Yuan Wentian understood what the little eunuch meant: "My lord, I can't accommodate so much, it's five hundred."

"You have a false name in this Tianwang Village, isn't there a saying that Tianwang Laozi is the biggest" Chang Yu teased, Yuan Wentian touched his head: "It's just a thief's nest, bluffing people to the outside world, do you want to let these refugees go to the cottage?"

Chang Yu nodded: "Most of them are poorly clothed, hungry and hungry, and many of them are old and weak, looking too pitiful, the master of Yuanda Village is kind to settle it, can you accommodate five hundred villages in the upper village, how many can be arranged."

Yuan Wentian didn't dare to say more, so he nodded and went.

Since I have met the refugees in the mountains, it must not be too far away from the mountain pass, so I called the guide and asked that there were still ten miles to go, and Chang Yu estimated that it would be dark.

He asked about the terrain near the mountain pass again, and Orion was not too familiar with this side, but Yuan Wentian's people were more familiar with it, and probably described to Chang Yu that the mountain pass was not very steep and narrow, but it was dense and thorny, and it was not very convenient for the army to enter and exit, and there was no wide place within a few miles of the mountain pass to accommodate the army to rest.

This made Chang Yu a headache, if the mountain pass was open, it was not suitable to defend if it was discovered by the Qing army, there was no wide valley in the entrance, and it was difficult to accommodate the soldiers, so they could not either hold it here, or rush out of the mountain directly, they had to observe it first and wait for it.

When the difficulty was made, there were nearby mountain people to point out a road, there is a small mountain road to the east about three miles away from the mountain pass, although the mountain road is narrow, but to the east and then go a mile, the road is a wide mountain col and there is a mountain stream (later Qingzhou Wangfu Valley Drifting Park)

Chang Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and when he saw the sky, he ordered the team to speed up the march, and found a few nearby mountain people as guides to lead the way to find the mountain pass.

Just like this, more than ten miles deep, one foot shallow, one foot to the time when the sky is about to get dark, when there are still two or three roads away from the mountain pass, sure enough, I found a mountain road in the east, followed the mountain people to walk over, after walking a few hundred meters, it suddenly opened up, it is actually a big mountain col that can accommodate thousands of people, the terrain is flat and there are mountain streams.

The soldiers couldn't help cheering and went straight to the mountain stream, Chang Yu found a clean stone and sat down, Chen Suole scooped a pot of stream water for him, and the entrance was cool and sweet.

Yuan Wentian began to get busy with a kind of horse, and lit a fire to cook in the col and lit mosquito repellent grass everywhere, and the special diligence service before and after the busy was particularly thoughtful, and Li Muxian praised the little eunuch again and again: "The factory supervisor is really blessed with a high star, and the treasure can be picked up in the mountain."

Moreover, Chang Yu is also happy: "It's all the credit of Guo Ren and Huzi."

Guan Ren and Duan Wuhu grinned.

At this time, the sky will be dark and not dark, and it is still visible, Chang Yu walked to the stream, washed his face, jumped on a boulder, and looked around, the trees were lush, and the stream was murmuring, and it was a good place to escape the summer at that time.

The soldiers were tired all the way and frolicked in the stream or rested on the stone slabs, and Yuan Wentian's people were ordered to cut down trees and build grass huts in addition to making fires, and Chang Yu planned to rest here tonight in case it rained again at night.

"If there is no war, this should be a good place to visit the mountains and rivers" Li Muxian especially likes the rocks by the stream, and they are very smooth to sit and lie down.

"If there is no war, the Taoist will not have a chance to come here" Qiao Sanxiu turned his head and smiled slightly, Li Muxian was stunned: "It's also reasonable."

Chang Yu lay on the big bluestone and looked at the sky in a daze, several soldiers in the stream next to him were playing in the water shirtless, and suddenly a soldier sighed, saying that he was stuck with a stone, and the probe took out a stone the size of a sea bowl from the water, and it was very heavy but it was a golden stone, and several people next to him exclaimed: "Golden stone!" ”。

The soldier laughed: "If only it were their gold, Lao Tzu would have fallen for the rest of his life", and threw the stone to the side, and several people continued to play in the water.

Chang Yu's heart moved, he got up and picked up the stone and looked at it carefully, and then Li Muxian also came over: "It's not horseshoe gold."

"Heh, the Taoist also knows about this?" Chang Yu is actually eight or nine points sure that the thing is the dog's head gold (referring to the naturally formed gold nuggie), because he was fortunate enough to have seen the real thing in his previous life.

Li Muxian took it and looked at it carefully: "Poor Dao has never heard of this thing, but it seems that it is not far from ten" The surrounding people surrounded him as he spoke, many people had never heard of this thing, and at this time they heard that it was a priceless treasure containing the essence of heaven and earth.

"It's indeed the dog's head gold", Chang Yu smiled, but he never thought that there was such a treasure in this mountain stream.

"This thing is a natural treasure, and it will only appear when it meets an extraordinary person, and the factory governor is a genius who is not born in the Ming Dynasty, and it is true...... Poor Daogang also said that the factory governor was blessed with a high star, and he found a treasure in the mountains...... Tsk tsk, the poor road has leaked the secret again" Li Muxian began to talk again, and the soldiers next to him were stunned by him, but Chang Yu bent over with a smile: "You can boast that what our family has done is not even found by our family, but by this brother" said and pointed to the soldier who was pierced.

The soldier was dumbfounded, but he was very clever, and picked up the dog's head and golden hands and presented it to Chang Yu: "The strange treasure should be such an immortal talent as the factory governor in the world, and the small ones don't know this treasure if they have eyes, but the factory supervisor has the eyes to know the treasure...... This treasure should be owned by the Governor."

Chang Yu laughed and pushed the dog-headed gold to the soldiers: "Don't learn the Tao with a flamboyant tongue, what you found is yours!" ”

No, no, no, the soldier shook his head vigorously: "You can't ask for the small one, and if you want it, you won't be blessed......

Chang Yu thought about it, there is a way to be a sin, and it may not be a good thing for this thing to stay in his hands, so he said: "How about this thing being preserved by the governor on your behalf and presented to the emperor for you after returning to Beijing."

The soldier was overjoyed, and thanked again and again, what kind of gold and stone can be promoted and rewarded with silver.

A strange treasure rushed out of the mountain stream, causing the soldiers to boil, and they were all vying to be the first to enjoy and play, although Chang Yu was also surprised, but it was not as exaggerated as they were, such a thing as dog's head gold is hard to find, but it is reasonable to encounter it in Shandong.

Shandong is the province with the largest gold production in China, and the most famous Linglong gold mine in later generations is in Linglong Mountain in Zhaoyuan, but it has not yet been opened at this time.
