Guo Qi glanced at Ma Jiu, and then said to Tang Bi beside him, "Put the horse away." ”

"No, Lord Wang......" Tang Bi waved his hand, and several guards entered the stable to untie the reins.

Ma Jiu's face was more ugly than crying and said, "My lord, you can't snatch these horses!" If you let Michidai-sama know, you'll pick my skin. ”

"He'll pick you up if he knows." Guo Qi sneered: "Wouldn't this king pick your skin now?" However, this king sees that you are a talent, and he will not kill you, so Tang Bi will take him away. ”

Ma Jiu said with a sad face: "You are the prince? ”

"It's fake." Guo Qi said with a smile.

Ma Jiuyi saw that he couldn't run away, so he said to Guo Qi: "Can the prince give the villain some time and let the villain clean up." ”

"This king has limited time, so he can't give you time; Just put on some valuable things and a few clothes, and rest assured that this king will not treat you badly in the future. Guo Qi patted Ma Jiu's shoulder and said.

In Ma Jiu's opinion, if the horse is lost, staying in the Daotai Yamen is also a death, so it is better to follow Guo Qi! In addition, no matter how you say that Guo Qi is the prince, and Rong Zheng is just a minister; It's better to follow the prince than to follow the minister!

Thirteen horses were brought out of the stable, and Ma Jiu took out saddles and stirrups from the next room, one of which was all gilt for Guo Qi, and Ma Jiu also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha; Guo Qi chose a horse from the Western Regions, which was dark and did not have a single stray hair; However, there are many kinds of horses in the Western Regions, and horses like Guo Qi ride are relatively poor among the horses in the Western Regions, but they are rare and good horses in the Central Plains.

Since the Great Qi Dynasty lost Hexi and Hetao, the Central Plains has lost the large horse farms, only Youyan is left, but the Youyan area is some scattered small horse farms, the production of war horses is limited, and these war horses are military, and there are fewer war horses in the people.

After leaving the Daotai Yamen, Guo Qi took Tang Bi and others to ride straight to Xicheng, Guo Qi's riding skills are okay, This is still when he was in Luodu, Guo Qi learned from the cavalry of the Royal Praetorian Guard.

When Guo Qi and his party came to Cangcheng in Xicheng, Zhuo Yidao and Sun Guoqing were directing more than 10,000 young people to transport grain from the granary; Not far away, the Xicheng wharf was full of boats, and there was no end in sight, at least more than two hundred.

"Lord Wang, you've made a fortune, you've made a fortune......" Zhuo Yidao saw Guo Qi riding over, and ran over while shouting.

Guo Qi got off the horse and asked Zhuo Yidao, "What kind of fortune did you make to make you happy like this." ”

"Grain, grain; Lord Wang, there must be three or four hundred thousand stones of grain in the granary cellar in this warehouse city...... "Zhuo Yidao's face was cracked into flowers.

"Look at you." Guo Qi said indifferently: "This is Jingzhao Mansion, it is purely normal to have so much food, how much has it moved now?" ”

"I don't count this humble position, but it's more than 20,000 stones." Zhuo Yidao reported to Guo Qiyu.

"The action is sharp, and you can put as much as you can before dawn." Guo Qi said to Zhuo Yidao.

"No......"

"A knife! I remember that there should be an arsenal in this warehouse city, where is this arsenal? Guo Qi asked Zhuo Yidao.

"Arsenal, I don't know about this!" Zhuo Yidao said with a confused face.

"Don't know?" Guo Qi was instantly furious; "Then what did you kid do? I don't even know where the arsenal is. ”

Seeing that Guo Qi was angry, Zhuo Yidao stammered and said, "It's just moving food!" ”

Guo Qi pointed at Zhuo Yi and didn't know what to say, so he forced the fire and said: "Hurry up and find the guards guarding Cangcheng and the Cangcheng order, this king has something to ask him." ”

"This guard and Cangcheng Ling have gone to the Daotai Yamen to eat and drink." Zhuo Yidao replied.

"And who's in charge here now?" Guo Qi then asked.

"It's the master of Cangcheng."

"Then don't you hurry up and find someone for me." Guo Qi said with a knife on his buttocks.

It didn't take long for Zhuo Yidao to come to Guo Qi with a man who looked like a literati and talent; The chief bookkeeper saluted Guo Qi and said, "Ling Jing, the master of the Jingzhao Mansion Cangcheng, see the prince. ”

"No courtesy." Guo Qi looked at the master of Cangcheng and said.

The main secretary was not an official official of the imperial court, but a small official, in charge of documents, similar to the current secretary; Moreover, the position of the chief bookkeeper is not something that can be done by anyone, and the people who generally serve as the chief bookkeeper are all talents who have repeatedly failed in the imperial imperial examinations.

"You are the master of Cangcheng, so you should be very clear about the baggage stored in this Cangcheng." Guo Qi asked the master bookkeeper.

Ling Jing reported to Guo Qi: "Lord Yu, Jingzhao Mansion Cangcheng is divided into three parts, namely the Caoyun Wharf, the granary and the arsenal; Caoyun Wharf has 37 tankers of various types;

The granary had a total of 378,421 stones of grain, including 231,275 stones of corn, 87,652 stones of wheat, 27,850 stones of rice, and 31,644 stones of millet.

The arsenal contained 170,000 sets of iron and leather armor of all kinds, 87,657 spears, 65,677 swords, 47,000 shields, and 35,621 crossbows......"

"Lord Wang, I have made a fortune this time, and so much baggage is enough to arm an army of 150,000." Tang Bi said in surprise.

Guo Qi glared at Tang Bi and said, "Can you take all of them with so much equipment?" This is the preparation of the imperial court for the Western Army, if this king takes it for himself, I am afraid that this prince will come to an end. ”

"What then? This meat is all in the mouth, and I just look at it! Tang Bi said with a small face.

"What do you look like?" Guo Qi said with a strange smile: "What Master Ling said just now is the number on the books, there must be a lot of shoddy ones in it, and our ships are limited to pick up the good ones." ”

"Master Ling, lead the way!" Tang Bi said to Ling Jing.

Under the guidance of Master Ling, Guo Qi took Tang Bi and the others to the northeast of Cangcheng, there was a wall between the arsenal and Cangcheng, and after entering through the gate, Guo Qi and the others saw a row of warehouses.

Ling Jing introduced to Guo Qi: "Lord Wang, this is the arsenal, and all the ordnance is classified and placed in these warehouses. ”

Guo Qi nodded and walked to the nearest warehouse, only to see the word 'spear' on the door of the warehouse, and the door of the warehouse was still locked.

So Guo Qi said to Ling Jing: "Open this warehouse." ”

"Lord Wang, without the joint official letter of the Lord Cangcheng Order and the Lord Shoujiang, it is necessary to kill the head if you open the arsenal without permission." Ling Jing said with some fear.

"Didn't they show you the official document of the Daotai Yamen just now? Isn't it written on it? and lend the king a batch of ordnance. Guo Qi said to Ling Jing.

"Although there is an official document from Lord Daotai, it still needs to be confirmed by the Kurajo Order and the Kurajo Guard." Ling Jing insisted; "The arsenal is different from the granary, please ...... the prince"

Before Ling Jing's words were finished, Guo Qi put the knife on Ling Jing's neck and said coldly: "This king will ask you again whether you will open it or not." ”

Ling Jing's clothes were soaked with sweat, but he still said with a tough attitude: "Please don't embarrass the villain......
