Of course, Qin Wu didn't know that Golden Mountain had sent troops to prepare to attack Chicheng and Yexian, and he planned to leave no chickens and dogs. He was in a small boat down the wide expanse of the Yellow River.

He looked suave in a white silk scholar's suit, and the bookish spirit he cultivated since childhood made no one doubt that he was a real scholar. There were six guards standing next to him, including Jin Wu and Duan Jiu. At first glance, it is obvious that a rich kid came out to travel.

Qin Forget looked at the long Yellow River under his feet, and his thoughts drifted back to Chicheng County. He was trying to see if there was anything that had been left out.

Yin Xian and Wang Ming are still recruiting refugees and developing people's livelihood. From the time he set out a few days ago, another fifty or sixty thousand people had been enrolled, and the population of the two counties was finally full; Dong Zhuang, Yang Xuan, and Ding Chen and others are stepping up the training of the army, and the three thousand recruits already have initial combat effectiveness, especially Qin Wang's new training method, which makes the recruits grow rapidly; In addition to serving as the chief bookkeeper of Ye County, Wang Wen was also appointed by him as the chief of the construction of the wharf and warehouse, which can be regarded as a reward for him, and since he was in charge, the project has been built rapidly.

The progress of Yang Da's excavation of the Monkey's Back Ridge is accelerating, and the timber and stone transported out of the monkey's nest are increasing every day, especially after the last time Huang Ling's hundreds of ox carts were detained, the progress of various projects is rapid; Jin Xu was appointed as the director of the R&D Department, and Qin Forget allocated him dozens of young craftsmen for his use, and also allocated him enough funds, giving him five thousand taels of silver at one time. Specializing in the development of advanced weapons and farm tools, and Qin Forget also gave him a difficult problem this time, that is, to develop a tool suitable for digging through the mountain as soon as possible, once successful, it will be delivered to Yang Da to start digging through several mountains on the side of the mine, so that the iron ore in the mountain can be used as soon as possible.

Wang Tiehammer took a large number of blacksmiths and strong men into the iron mines, stepped up the refining of steel, and made weapons. It's just that the blacksmith shop has just been created, and when Qin Forget came out, the blast furnace for ironmaking had not yet been built, and it was still unknown when the first molten iron would be produced. Besides, the road is difficult, Qin Forget is sure that in the past two years, he will not want to use the weapons from the mine.

At present, the iron materials used by the Chicheng Army are all iron ore transported by Huang Ling, which can barely equip new soldiers, and as for the weapons that are intended to be used to trade with the three major dragons on the Yellow River。。。。。。 Qin Forget has no good way now, and he can only drag it out for the time being. And Qin Wang, before leaving, asked Huang Ling for all the supplies and silver taels, which was enough for the family to spend a long time.

"Boss, this knife is so easy to use. When will all of us brothers be able to use it? Duan Jiu stroked the newly equipped horizontal knife in his waist and said excitedly.

Qin Forget smiled slightly, "All deserved?" Earlier, this kind of knife requires a large amount of high-quality fine iron to build, and only one of the three can be successful, and the iron consumption is five or six times that of other knives. "Thinking about it carefully, there is no big problem with all the arrangements, and Qin Wang's mood has improved.

"Tsk, no wonder it's so easy to use, so much iron, no one can afford it." Duan Jiu listened to Qin Wang's words and couldn't stop talking

。 "When our iron ore can be used, then we will have as many as we want."

"At the end of the day, the Yellow River flows into the sea. If you want to be poor, go to the next level. After listening to Duan Jiu's words, looking at the endless and turbulent waters of the Yellow River in front of him, Qin Forget was also full of pride in his heart, and said loudly.

"The Yellow River is big, hey, flowing eastward. Jiuquwan bent hey, whirlpooling. Friends are tired here, hey, take a break. ”

As soon as Qin Forget finished groaning, a burst of Yellow River bangzi suddenly sounded from the front, and the voice was high-pitched and loud, extremely beautiful, just like Ying and Qin Wang.

"Here we are." Qin Forget looked at the direction where the song came from and whispered to himself.

"The owner is talking about the Fire Dragon Gang? Beware, everyone! Duan Jiu let out a low snort, and immediately pulled out the new horizontal knife on his waist, and protected Qin Forget with Jin Wu left and right.

Soon, three small boats glided over the wide Yellow River, and there were four or five people standing on each boat, and the two oars flew up and down, and they ran to the place where Qin forgot dozens of steps in a blink of an eye with the wind.

Qin Forget looked at it, it was more than a dozen lean men, probably because they had been begging for a living on the water all year round, and they were all tanned and shiny. The bodies are all spindle-shaped, like agile black fish.

"Damn it, bad luck! How can you be a scholar again! "Far away, one of the people who seemed to be the leader scolded first.

"Isn't it, the big boss has always respected scholars and won't let them rob. Fourth, you see。。。。。。 A man next to the leader also said dejectedly.

Hearing that Qin Forget and the others were directly stunned, Qin Forget couldn't help crying and laughing a little, dare I send it to the door, you don't rob me? So how am I going to talk to you bosses about the rest of the story? I knew that I would simply play the role of a rich businessman, and at first glance I was the kind of rich and unkind.

However, Qin Wang's senses for these people of the Fire Dragon Gang were much better.

"Anyway, let's take a closer look." With a wave of the fourth master's hand, the three ships surrounded Qin Wang's ship in a blink of an eye.

"Hey, scholar, where did you come from?" The four masters looked Qin Forget and the others up and down, and when they saw Qin Wang's silk scholar's uniform and the snowy long knife in the hands of Duan Jiu and the others, their eyes couldn't help but light up.

Qin Forget also looked at this four-master carefully, he was only more than four feet tall, much shorter than him, his appearance was really ordinary, but he was abnormally black, and his eyes were also extremely bright, like knives. Although the face is fierce but not fierce, there is a deep layer of rust on the exposed skin.

Hearing his words, Qin Wang's heart also lit up, it seemed that there was a play.

"Back to the king, the students have traveled around, and they just came from Akagi." Qin Forget pretended to be scared and replied weakly.

"Phew! Who the hell is the king, the grandfathers are serious and good people! The four masters spat and shouted loudly, their eyes never leaving Duan Jiu's new-style horizontal knife that they had unsheathed.

Qin Wu nodded again and again, looking at the look of the four masters who wanted to grab and hesitated, funny and anxious.

"I don't think you're a scholar, come on! Fuck it! "The fourth master may really like the waist knife of Duan Jiu and the others, and after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't hold it anymore, and beckoned his brothers to prepare to do it.

"The four masters, no! If you let the big boss know, it will inevitably be punished again. The young man next to the fourth master hurriedly persuaded. This kid is very handsome, full of powerful muscles, and not so black, compared with the black carbon-like four masters, he immediately becomes much whiter, and looks more pleasing to the eye.

"Hehe, I know it, but if you look at the guys in their hands, it must be a good thing. I really like it, two sons, how about it? The fourth master approached the young man and whispered with a dry smile.

"My lord, can't you? With just a few broken knives, we won't kill people, right? The young man named Erzi looked at the four masters with a look of horror.

"Bah, is your fourth master that kind of person? I mean snatch them up the hill and take the weapons from us. Anyway, my eldest brother likes scholars, and he won't care about this with me. ”

Although they said it quietly, Qin Forget still heard it clearly, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, what does it mean to like scholars?

"Those people, honestly go to the island with the gentlemen, and make sure you are okay. Otherwise, hehe, I'll chop you up one by one and throw them into the river to feed the fish! The four masters didn't care what Qin Forget thought, and shouted loudly at them at the moment, finally having a bit of a robber spirit.

There is no dragon on Huolong Island, it is just a long, curved island in the Yellow River, covered with reddish-brown rocks, undulating on the water, looking like a fire dragon outcropping from a distance, hence the name.

Qin Forget and a few people honestly squatted in the boat of the water bandits, and all the weapons and soft weapons on their bodies were collected. Duan Jiu, Jin Wu and other guards were even more firmly tied by the ox tendon rope, but Qin Forget escaped because he was dressed as a scholar and looked weak, but he was loosely tied with a few loops of rope in his hands.

Qin Forget secretly looked at the topography of this big island, this island is located right in the middle of the Yellow River, because of its existence, it forcibly divides the already turbulent Yellow River into two halves, making the water flow on both sides more turbulent, the big ship is here, if the current is countercurrent, I am afraid it will not stop at all. The island is also very treacherous, surrounded by steep cliffs, washed by the river so steep and smooth that it is impossible to climb at all, and the only gentle side is a high wall, a city gate, which divides the island into two worlds.

A large body of water in front of the city gate is Huolong Island's own wharf, neatly lined with hundreds of large and small boats, most of which are small fishing boats, which can carry four or five people. There are about twenty shipwives that look like a little bit. In addition, there are two three-story small buildings with 500 stones, but only three or four are new, and I am afraid they will not be of great use.

It's really a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if you attack it yourself, I'm afraid it will be useless. It's no wonder that after so many years, the elite sailors of Dayan have nothing to do with this group of water bandits.

Qin Forget thought to himself.
