The day after the meeting, Sikong Nan picked up Xiao Er from Guangxin and arrived at the deserted village at the junction of Lincheng and Guangxin. The village was deserted, and all of them fled to Guangxin to avoid the battle.

"General Sikong, it's that river pond!" Xiao Er pointed to the river pond not far from Yicaotang and said.

Sikong Nan looked at the river pond fixedly, and immediately recalled the months he had lived in the deserted village, but he never thought that a million fortunes would be buried in the water. He asked:

"Miss Xiao'er, do you know how deep this river is?"

"It seems to have three zhangs."

"Sanzhang, so deep!" Sikong Nan was taken aback, this is not fishing, just catch it with a net, the river mussels are lying under the water, how can this be fished.

At this time, Xiao Er said:

"General Sikong is worried about the water, Brother Wei actually buried a stone trough under the river pond as early as the beginning of digging the lotus pond, and the stone trough leads to the paddy field in the east, as long as the stone trough is opened, the water can be discharged."

"Oh, and this clever way. Quick, take me there. ”

There are more than 20 large and small pools and fish ponds in the deserted village, either digging on the spot, or cofferdam into a lake according to local conditions, and then attracting water sources to store water.

Fifty steps east of the pond is the paddy field with a drop of three zhang, Bailiyan (Wei Xian) excavated the pond at the beginning, considering the problem of fishing for river mussels, after all, there is no pumping machine now, and the water can not go high.

So at the beginning of the excavation, a square pipe stone trough was laid, the stone trough was three zhang deep into the pond, 30 centimeters higher than the bottom of the pond, and it led to the paddy field fifty steps away, and the exit was blocked with a stone cone, pressed with a boulder, and then sealed with soil.

Under Xiao Er's guidance, Sikong Nan quickly found the mound, the mound was integrated with the surrounding landscape at this time, overgrown with weeds, and there was no other mystery under the mound.

"Come on, dig it up for Ben!"

"No!"

The soldiers stepped forward to dig two feet down, and sure enough, they found a large stone, about half a foot long and wide, and there was a stone cone pressed directly below.

Let people overturn the boulder, and the stone cone is blocked in the stone trough and cannot be pulled out. Sikong Nan asked people to use a hammer to chisel, and finally with great effort, the stone cone and the water outlet of the stone trough were all chiseled, and the turbulent water poured down in an instant.

"Out of the water!"

The soldier shouted, and Sikong Nan said:

"Go to two people and see how the pond is watering."

"No!"

The water level of the pond was slowly and slowly decreasing with the naked eye, and in about five quarters of an hour, the water had drained two feet into the tank inside the pond, and the blue-black moss on the top of the water stone tank was faintly visible.

When the water level dropped to waist-deep depth, the soldier lowered the rope and Sikong Nan climbed down the rope, and stepped on two huge mussel shells with his first foot. He took out a dagger, picked up a slice that pierced into the crevice of the river mussel, pried it open and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, and the shock in his heart was like a turbulent wave.

"One, two, three...... silently counted in his heart, and found a total of sixteen pearls, some round, some slightly flattened, and some oval and crooked melon cracked dates, but no matter what, it is certain that it is a pearl.

When it was young, the water level dropped below the stone trough, and everyone climbed the rope one after another, and as far as the eye could see, there were huge river mussels, and some simply opened their mussel mouths to spit out mud and sand, and the inside were all brilliant pearls, and the colors were also colorful and strange, white, pink, yellow, and black.

"Miss Xiao'er, these are all planted by General Wei?" Sikong Nan couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Well, yes."

Seeing the situation in front of her, Xiao Er nodded blankly, but didn't say much. Sikong Nan wanted to ask more, but after thinking about it, the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.

He wanted to ask how the pearl was grown, but it was clear that such a secret was a matter of national origin, and if it was leaked, once it was obtained by another country or someone else, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The excavation and collection work began quickly, Sikong Nan divided 100 people into three, 60 people from the east and west sides of the pond to the center of the pond to carry out a carpet search, dug out the river mussels and put them into wooden barrels, and the other 40 people surrounded the city, sorting and peeling pearls on the spot.

Sixty people dug up more than 2,000 mussels quite quickly, and in less than an hour, the mussels were dug up, and after a simple rinse of barrels of pearls, they were finally loaded into wooden boxes.

At dusk, when the pearl diving work came to an end, Sikong Nan once again sprinkled his manpower, and the last carpet search found several river mussels one after another.

Back on the ground, Sikong Nan was still immersed in shock, and he asked Xiao Er privately:

"Miss Xiao'er, do you know how many pearls there are?"

"A total of 2,127 river mussels were dug up, which seems to be more than what Brother Wei threw down at the beginning, but some of them are empty, some are only thirteen, forty-five, and some have sixteen, it's really hard to know how many pearls there are, but there are always 30,000."

"Shhh...... So much! "Sikong Nan's scalp is numb, in the current situation, the most conservative is worth two or three million inches of silver, the total amount of silver in the inventory of the Xianguo at the end of the past few decades is not so much, a hundred people guard such a huge fortune, this wilderness, what if someone robs it!

"Miss Xiao'er, let's go back to the city overnight!"

"Don't you stay overnight!"

"No, you can't stay overnight! Set off overnight after dark, arrive at Guangxin before dawn tomorrow, and then enter the city overnight to repair. ”

Sikong Nan was not worried that someone would rob them, but he was worried that among the hundred people he brought out, as long as one person ran away, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Sikong Nan has been a bandit in Guangxin for so many years, and he knows very well how many mountain bandits there are in the local area, if one or two of his 100 people run to find the bandits to share the spoils, they will die and have no place to bury.

If the news spreads to the outside world, so many treasures, the first ones to come and grab them are the Jin army and the rebels.

I made up my mind that I repaired for two hours that night, and one hundred and two people hurried through the starry night and arrived in Guangxin early the next morning.

At the same time, Zhang Yousuo led the army of Qin Wang to enter Dingyang in the afternoon, and the army led by Jiang Minsuo, the Duke of Guangxin, continued to go north to Guangxin, and Ye Xin's troops withdrew from the camp to the east on the second day.

Two days ago, Lei Ting had learned that the Xian army had transferred troops from the Yongxing River to the north, and a day after Ye Xin's 30,000 cavalry withdrew, Lei Ting sent 50,000 troops to attack Pucheng, and more than 1,000 defenders of Pucheng abandoned the city and fled to Lincheng by boat from the sea.

At this time, after Bailiyan and Ye Xin divided their troops, they led the army to thirty miles south of Guangxin City, and met Jiang Min on the road and led the army to aid Guangxin.

"Mr. Luo, don't come unharmed."

"I am fortunate to have General Wei's help this time, and the lord is very grateful." Luo Songting also noticed Bai Liyan's chariot, and his heart was full of emotion.

At this time, Bailiyan said:

"What about Jiang Gong?"

"The lord has been ill since Gongsun Yue's rebellion, and he is recuperating in the car at this time."

"Oh, can I visit Jiang Gong in the future?"

"General Wei, please."

Following Luo Songting to Jiang Min's carriage, the curtains on both sides were open, Jiang Min was leaning on the carriage, his face was yellow and his spirit was not good, holding a book in his hand, and he was watching quietly.

"Wei Xian has seen Jiang Gong."

Baili Yan gave a deep salute, Jiang Min looked at his son-in-law with complicated eyes, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried:

"General Wei is exempt."

"Xie Jianggong."

"General Wei has a meritorious service in retreating from the enemy, and Lone should be rewarded heavily."

"Jiang Gong is serious, this is Wei Xian's duty, I don't dare to invite credit, and I hope that Jiang Gong will learn from it."

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Jiang Min coughed urgently, and his voice was much older: "The reward is still to be rewarded, General Wei must not refuse, otherwise it will inevitably make it difficult for others to say that this father-in-law is lonely." Now let's go back to Guangxin together, cough cough ......."

"Jiang Gong, why don't you let Wei take the pulse for Jiang Gong."

"No, after taking the doctor's medicine, Gu is already much better, let's go back to Guangxin first."

Jiang Min refused Bailiyan's diagnosis, and immediately beckoned the coachman to continue his journey. Watching the carriage go away, Bailiyan and Luo Songting said:

"Mr. Luo, Jiang Gong is still angry with Wei."

"Alas......" Luo Songting sighed: "Yes and no." ”

"That's because Wei exposed Qin Han, which caused Jiang Gong to hold a grudge."

"Well, Qin Han has been friends with the lord for more than 20 years, and he has been treacherous overnight, which has dealt a great blow to the lord, and it is caused by General Wei, how can the lord not hate."

"Good medicine is good for disease, loyalty is good for deeds, Qin Han's mouth and belly honey sword contains evil intentions, Jiang Gong indulges in it and falls deeper and deeper, if it is not for Jiang Gong in Yangting, Wei dares to say that Qin Han will definitely assassinate Mr., and then instigate Jiang Gong to rebel, so it is more harmful than Gongsun Yue's rebellion, and Xianguo will lose the entire Beihai County overnight."

With Guangxin's manpower, there is no obstacle to maintaining more than five military strength for a long time, and it is more than 100,000 troops to expand in a short period of time, and 100,000 horses and horses sweeping the entire Beihai are tantamount to a catastrophe for Xianguo.

Jiang Min has been a chess piece in the hands of the Black Turban Army from the beginning, how to fall, where to fall, there is a complete set of pre-plan measures, when one day I find that I play with others in the palm of my hand, in the end I am a pawn at the mercy of others, and the one who betrayed himself is actually a close friend who has been calling a brother for decades, and it is his son-in-law who exposes all this, which makes a person of flesh and blood think.

The Guangxin army rode all the way, the army arrived at the city of Guangxin It was dusk, the black turban army invaded all parts of Beihai County, and the city gate was closed very early, so although it did not arrive at the point, the city gate had already been closed, and the increased suspension bridge immediately aroused Luo Songting's curiosity.

"General Wei, when will there be an extra drawbridge at the south gate?"

"Not only the south gate, but also the four gates, there are two suspension bridges inside and outside. Mr. Luo did not see that this suspension bridge was different from other suspension bridges, the suspension bridge was vertically close to the city gate hole, and there was a wooden platform on top of the suspension bridge, and there was sand in the wooden platform, if the rebels set fire to the door with calcium carbide, they could cover it with sand and extinguish it. ”

"I see, but I'm afraid I can't eliminate the harm of calcium carbide once and for all."

"Yes, it can only be saved. The black turban thief's calcium carbide is not easy to come by, and the quantity is limited, and our army can only fight with it, which is better than sitting still. ”

"Well, let's go, let's go home together and discuss how to fight."

"Wei is still in a hurry, and he doesn't dare to delay for a moment, so I ask Mr. Luo for forgiveness."

"Okay then, General Wei first, please."

"Wei is one step ahead."

With a little salute, Bailiyan took a car into the city. When passing through the south gate, Jiang Qian and Chen Yunfeng stopped at the south gate and were talking to Jiang Min.

The department store was already closed, and Sikong Nan and the two of them were waiting anxiously downstairs.

When the car and horses stopped, Bailiyan picked up the curtain and walked out of the car:

"The last general will see General Wei!"

"Brother Sikong doesn't need to be polite, have you got everything?"

"General Yu, it's all here."

"Well, you go and order Lu Gao, and order him to lead the headquarters of the forbidden army of the Longwu Battalion to guard here, and the rest of the men and horses will return to each battalion, and the people and horses of the Guangxin Army will all be returned, and they shall not be seized and intercepted, so go and do it quickly."

"No!"
