(PS: Thank you for your support, thank you brothers for your support)

Outside the Sword Gate, there is only one sheep intestine path, at most two people in parallel, or one ride, and the mountains on both sides are forested, which is the favorite ambush place of the strongman.

It was summer, and the mountains were overgrown with weeds and thorns, adding to the frightening atmosphere.

A caravan had traveled two or three miles through the valley, but there was not a single figure in sight, and the coachmen and merchants could not help but become agitated.

"Hey, I've already left the Sword Gate, why is there still no movement?"

"Do you really think you're too emperor?"

"If it weren't for the greeting of the master, I wouldn't have done such a shameful thing!"

“……”

There are some old people inside, it is estimated that it is too close to the Jianmen Pass, so let everyone be patient, as long as you hand in the errand, you can go back to drink and eat meat, it is said that the master has set up a family banquet, not only to ask for credit for these people, but also to welcome the son home.

The team of more than 100 people, in this valley, almost pulled out a straight line, turned a right-angled curve, and between the front and back, they could no longer see each other.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in the woods, and the driver in front shouted: "Who? Come out! He had already pulled out the waist knife he was carrying with him to protect the vehicle.

The black shadow slowly came out of the bushes, but it was black all his life, and even his head and face were wrapped in black scarves, revealing only two rolling eyeballs.

"Don't mess around, I'm here to receive the goods!"

Hearing the movement, the leading businessman hurriedly came to the front, "You received the goods?" What about people? ”

The man in the black scarf clapped his hands, and there was another person in the forest, who was also wrapped in black clothes, holding a thing in his arms, wrapped in his clothes, and couldn't see it really, at this time, the caravan's coachman and all the merchants were drawing their swords to each other, and the bright steel knives emitted a dazzling cold light, but the two people opposite were not afraid at all.

The leading businessman nodded at the coachman next to him, and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the man in black, "Slow, we have to inspect the goods first!" ”

"Inspection? I'm going to see the baby in your arms first! The leading businessman said proudly: "If you dare to play tricks, today next year will be your death day!" ”

"I really don't know whether to live or die, even the governor of your family doesn't dare to do this," the man in black stroked his palm again, but saw that the shadows of the trees in the mountains on both sides were shaking, and half of his pitch-black head poked out of the weeds from time to time, all of them were in the same outfit, and their faces were covered with black scarves.

Looking at the formation, the caravan has been surrounded, if they are really strong, launch an attack at this time, on such a narrow mountain road, as long as the two ends are blocked, they will not be able to fly even if they have wings!

The people in the caravan were all carrying waist knives, apparently also dressed as soldiers, and they had originally thought of taking advantage of the opportunity, even if they could not take down all the thieves, at least after getting what they wanted, they could bring these supplies back to Chengdu safely.

But at this moment, they quickly changed their minds, or Lord Futai had a vision, and the thief really ...... Fortunately, the two sides did not completely turn their faces, otherwise, not to mention stealing supplies from thieves, it would be their own lives...... It's good to be able to snatch it back, in case the thieves are annoyed and don't return the things that look like the hearts and livers of Jing Gongzi and Lord Futai, they will have their lives to escape back, and I'm afraid they won't be able to stand Lord Futai's soul-breaking knife.

The leading businessman hurriedly put on a smiling face, bowed down and said, "The villain's mouth, it should be pumped, it should be pumped," and he also pretended to pump his two mouths, "The villain was ordered by my lord to send these ten carts to the heroes, and the rest of the villains don't know, the heroes have a lot of ......."

The man in black who was the first to go down the mountain ignored him, just whistled, and suddenly ten men in black came down from the mountain, he did not speak, only gestured with his eyes, and the ten men in black immediately walked towards the ten carts.

Although the coachmen and merchants in front of the cart were holding bright steel knives in their hands, the men in black did not seem to see it, and there was no stagnation at all, but the coachmen, seeing that their commanders were deflated, retreated one after another, giving up a safe distance.

Each man in black checked a large cart, and they checked it very carefully, even the bottom of the carriage was checked one by one, and they were prepared to use stones instead of pig iron, especially the 10,000 taels of silver, and they counted them carefully before they stopped.

After a while, the men in black finished the inspection, nodded to the men in black led by them, and then stepped back one by one, staring not far from the cart, and the leader of the men in black threw the child in his arms to the opposite side, "The child is here, you can go back to your life!" ”

The child was originally asleep, but at this moment out of his arms, he may feel his body hanging in the air, and suddenly cry "wow".

Dozens of black-clothed people have been drilled out of the mountains on both sides, swaggering to drive the cart, slowly on the road, pulling the cart are mules and donkeys, there are no expensive war horses, it seems that Sichuan is also short of horses.

When the leader of the merchant saw that the convoy had driven out of the corner, he came to his senses, hurriedly caught up with the man in black, and pleaded: "Ladies and gentlemen, another thing for my lord ......."

"This, don't worry," the leader of the man in black turned around and said, "We will definitely abide by the agreement, and after three days, we will return the things from Angelica!" ”

That being said, but once the thief leaves the Sword Gate Gate, who knows which road he will take to the north? At that time, where to find the traces of thieves in the vast Rice Cang Mountain?

The leader of the merchant is obviously not at ease, "Good man, ......"

The man in black in the lead frowned lightly, "In this way, you send two brothers to follow, and when the time and place come, we will naturally return the things." ”

The leader of the merchant was unable to do it, and he didn't dare to use force, so he had to order two coachmen, trembling and following the man in black all the way north.

The mountain road is already rugged, and it is an uphill sheep farm trail, the speed of the convoy is extremely slow, and if you are not careful, you may fall off the cliffs on both sides, three days, but you have traveled eighty or ninety miles, but you are about to go out of the border of Sichuan, and the men in black are still trustworthy, and they handed over the official seal to the two people who have been following them who are obviously Sichuan soldiers.

As soon as the two Sichuan soldiers left, the man in black suddenly became lively, and when Zhang Yan's people accompanied him, they were afraid of revealing their traces, and they didn't dare to speak.

"Big brother, Zhang Yan's people won't chase after him, right?" Wu Ermao made a great contribution this time, naturally he didn't want the credit to come to naught, if Zhang Lun's people really caught up, he was the "culprit", and he was not blamed by the car and Ling Chi.

"They shouldn't dare, besides, in the woods behind, there are still our brothers, once there are Sichuan soldiers, it is impossible for them not to warn, what can the Sichuan soldiers do if they catch up? It's just a few corpses! Li Zicheng wiped the sweat on his head, although he walked through the valley and trees, but it was the height of summer, even if he played Tai Chi, he would sweat.

Wu Ermao's courage was too great, he actually kidnapped the son of the governor of Sichuan, and took his official seal, but, in addition to this method, Li Zicheng couldn't think of how to buy these pig iron for a while, and Zhang Lun's pig iron, not only did not need money, but also gave away carts and livestock for free, which was extremely convenient to transport, "Ermao, brothers have worked hard, these pig iron are the treasures of Xining, after returning to Xining, the eldest brother will be rewarded for meritorious deeds!" ”

In Li Zicheng's eyes, this is not only thousands of catties of pig iron, but also hundreds of Xining rifles, which are the sharp weapons that make the Xining army more powerful.

In addition to pig iron, there are also 10,000 taels of silver, Li Zicheng naturally will not feel sorry for Zhang Lun, Zhang Lun's silver is also obtained for nothing, just raising his fingers and moving his mouth, and the silver flies towards his house as if he has long legs.

"If it weren't for the eldest brother's good scheduling, he would not have dared to do this, and he would not have dared to do this, thinking that he would be in Lingzhou back then...... Hey, don't talk about it, everything about my Wu Ermao was given by the eldest brother, and the eldest brother's business is that I have lost my head, and I, Wu Ermao, have to complete the task! Wu Ermao didn't know what the big truth was, he only knew that when he was in Lingzhou, he was completely deflated, and it was no better than calling Huazi, but he came to Xining...... Drinking wine in a big bowl and mouthing meat, such a day, he would only think about it in his dreams.

Could it be that the eldest brother is really the lucky star of his life?

"Let's just say this time, if it weren't for the eldest brother personally leading the troops to respond, or no matter how much silver there is, the brothers will not be blessed, the brothers have already seen that the people sent by Zhang Lun to escort the car are all soldiers, and they all have blades on their bodies, if they didn't see a lot of us that day, they would almost have to do it, Zhang Lun suffered such a big loss, how could he give up? If there is no big brother to support him, Ermao will definitely not have the courage to go to Sichuan to blackmail, and the bitter lord is still the governor......"

"Hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

Li Zicheng and Wu Ermao laughed opposite each other, and the soldiers around them also laughed, and the laughter reverberated in this unknown valley for a long time.

Back in Xining, Li Zicheng didn't say a word, and directly escorted the pig iron to the craftsman's workshop, 10,000 taels of silver, but asked the quartermaster Sun Lin to accept it, and then prepared to celebrate Wu Ermao and others at the Xihuang Restaurant.

Wu Ermao and these people are not soldiers for the time being, and they do not have military salaries, but they are fighting on the invisible front, maybe if they don't make a move for three years, once they make a move, it will be a miracle!

Although Wu Ermao has only completed three things so far, these three things, which one of them is extremely tricky, leveling Tenzin Gyatso of Taer Temple, making Xi'an's Qin Wangfu give up the pig iron in hand, and this time getting thousands of catties of pig iron from Chengdu......

If it is said that the development of the "Xining rifle" was made by the craftsman workshop and Tang Ruowang, then Wu Ermao also made indelible contributions to the materials needed to cast the "Xining rifle".

How to reward Wu Ermao, Li Zicheng had already thought about it on the way back to Xining.

Together with Li Zicheng, eight people happened to occupy a table of eight immortals, and He Xiaomi's relatives had already surrounded the private room upstairs, and no one was allowed to disturb it.

"Big brother, since the brothers came to Xining, the days have been completely different, the eldest brother is the lucky star we are waiting for, this first glass of wine, our brothers respect the eldest brother together!" Wu Ermao had already thought about it, the eldest brother not only controlled Xining's army, but also held tens of thousands of life and death in his hands, for them, the brothers who had not had a meal in Shaanxi, they were indeed lucky stars, or rather, after they came to Xining, under the subordinates of the eldest brother, they were like fish in water like now.

"Brother Ermao, and all brothers, we are all brothers, and we will naturally share the blessings," Li Zicheng did not raise his glass, but stretched out his hand to signal everyone to put down the wine cup, "Before drinking, I will announce the reward for you!" ”
