Chapter 8 Preparing to Go
Chapter 8 Preparing to Go
The three of them returned to the camp and began to prepare all kinds of supplies needed for departure, Shi Bin was silently preparing all kinds of assassination weapons, hunting traps and some medicines needed; Wang San happily hummed a little tune and prepared all kinds of hair, cosmetic supplies, a few pieces of alum, and even a strange little golden stick and a small clay pot with ears; Xue Liang went to prepare all kinds of smuggled goods.
It didn't take long for Xue Liang to come back, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that no one greeted him, and he was about to have a seizure, but he saw that the two brothers Shi Bin were concentrating on preparing the items for the trip, and it was in line with what they said. Shi Bin's objects Xue Liang saw very clearly, and he couldn't see through all the trivial things prepared by Wang San.
When I came back from running errands, I felt a little tired, so I simply sat down and asked patiently: "Ah San, I can see very clearly what your brother has prepared, but what are you preparing?" Why use it? Big brother can still guess those hair and makeup things, these alum big brother can't understand it, and this clay pot with ears makes me even more confused, tell me about it. ”
"This hair and disguise were used when sneaking through the north; This alum is used to write confidential information; The metal rod in his hand is called Wen Jin, and it is inserted into the wall as a eavesdropping device; This clay pot was bought from the armory by the younger brother by relying on the face of the eldest brother, and it can be used to listen to the sound of the underground to judge the situation everywhere. Wang San feigned crying.
"Tell Lao Tzu quickly, don't be flamboyant here!"
"Since the fire chief can't even see it, the villain is even more relieved. This thing is called a listening urn, and it is a bugging device. It is said that people with good hearing can hear movement within a radius of tens of miles. After speaking, Wang San smiled weirdly.
"Really?" After hearing this, Xue Liang jumped up and patted Wang San with a smile: "Okay, you Ah San, I thought you were just coping with it, but I didn't expect that I really planned to do this!" ”
"Huo Chang, although the villain is only the son of a butcher, he still knows something after a few years of private school. In addition, the villain already likes these strange tricks, and this time going north is an opportunity, of course, it is even more important to use it. Maybe you won't have a chance to go north in the future, and if you can't apply what you have learned, the villain will regret it for the rest of your life. ”
It's just that Wang San is just a trickster and a little smart, and it would be good if he could do his best to go north this time, but he didn't expect that he could also take his work seriously and think so thoughtfully.
"Since you are so loyal, the eldest brother can also tell you things. Of course, you can't know who the noble person is, but if there is a mutation, the wrench in the eldest brother's hand is the guarantee of your survival. When the time comes, go directly to Zhengzhou Daqing Silk Village, and someone will naturally contact you. After speaking, Xue Liang put the beautiful jade wrench back on his thumb.
Shi Bin was very excited when he saw it, and found that the noble man was really not a shameless person who was only greedy for money; It's still such a resourceful person.
It seems that the so-called business is just a cover for a few honest people from other places. These outsiders have a difficult life, and they have a simple personality and don't dare to talk much, so they are the best porters. What's more, in this troubled world, no one will notice the disappearance of several refugees from other places.
After he was happy, he broke out in a cold sweat again, and he couldn't help but think that he might have just walked away from the ghost gate.
Looking at the uncertain look on the faces of the two Shi Bin brothers, Xue Liang couldn't help laughing: "Did the two virtuous brothers remember what happened in the mansion just now?" No, it's not as bad as you think. That is, let me take all the responsibility alone, and you are just porters. If you don't know anything, how can you worry about your life? ”
Although the two of them were relieved after hearing this, they were already sweating. Although Shi Bin is not as wise as Wang San, he also understands that some people can't even see each other. Once you meet, you are on the boat, and you will either ride the wind and waves, or you will be ready to die in the belly of the fish.
"Now that the eldest brother has two more brothers to trust, I am so happy! In this way, things are much safer and more reassuring. ”
With Xue Liang's words, Shi Bin had a bottom in his heart, and he was very much looking forward to going north this time. I just want to be able to strike at the Yuan people as soon as possible and be loyal to the country.
Wang San couldn't stop sighing: "The person in that house is really scheming, he has repeatedly tested us, and so far he has only taught me the method of saving my life and a contact point. This Jingzhou is an important town in the world, with floods and droughts extending in all directions, and it is easy to sneak into the north, even if it fails, it will not be difficult to withdraw. If the two of us make a slight move, maybe there will be a secret whistle among the four. ”
"Temptation?" Shi Bin didn't expect this layer. On second thought, that's for sure, but as long as you don't betray, you should have no worries about your life.
Although the supervision of peers and the forced efforts to complete the task weaken the cohesion of the team, it greatly ensures the safety of the team and the success rate of the task.
"Do you think Xue Liang's beating was really because he made a mistake? Don't look at his blue nose and swollen face, when he came over, he also looked like he sighed and was wronged, but don't you think something is missing? ”
What's missing? Thinking carefully about Xue Liang's appearance when he came over, the injury was indeed real, but his expression was not so coordinated. Even if he is afraid of his boss, he doesn't seem to look like this in front of two new subordinates outside the house. Isn't this self-defeating prestige?
Before he could figure it out, Wang San smiled again and said, "Did the letter accidentally fall?" Xue Liang, such a shrewd person, would go with us with confidential letters? The letter might even be able to test whether we had touched it. ”
"Fingerprints?" Shi Bin trembled again after hearing this. I couldn't stop nodding yes, looking at this ancient man is really smart.
As for what is good for finding gold, forget it. This kind of special work still has too much curiosity, and I don't know what to do without knowing it.
The next day, the Shi Bin brothers put their belongings in a carriage and went out of the city, and made an appointment to meet and set off at Shilipu outside the city at three o'clock.
When the hour came, he saw Xue Liang coming from a distance with four coachmen driving the carriage. The two greeted Xue Liang respectfully, and also nodded to the four coachmen after that.
The four coachmen were tall and strong, obviously people who had been practicing martial arts all year round, but they were a little honest.
"Shi Bin, Wang San! These four are also four heroes, and they are all brothers of the eldest brother. Zhao Gang, Li Chao, Liu Xiao, Yi Jun. After that, they chatted with each other again and got acquainted with each other.
"We're just selling some tea, pig iron and refined salt to the north. But these are all treasures, after crossing the Yellow River, it will be tripled, and when you get out of the customs, it will be at least five times. Everyone is definitely not a person who forgets his righteousness when he sees money, and when the business is done, the eldest brother will naturally not treat the brothers badly. ”
As the saying goes: money can make ghosts grind. A few guys who had never seen the world were naturally surprised when they heard that there were so many benefits, and urged Xue Liang to hurry up, lest the opportunity would be lost if they were one step late.
Although Shi Bin was not so surprised, he had only heard about the huge profits made by thrift merchants and property speculators twice, but he had never operated it himself. So I'm very happy, but I can control my emotions.
In order to complete the task better, Xue Liang put on a local tyrant and deliberately ridiculed Shi Bin and the others for being ignorant and unambitious, so they were carried away by such a small profit.
A group of subordinates are so happy and looking forward to the mission, they are not afraid of encountering any small accidents. Smiling with satisfaction, Xue Liang led the team to set off.
