Chapter 14: The Crisis Raised by a Treasure Map

"Childe, we've shifted the subject!" Zhang Hua sighed and corrected.

"Uncle Hua, let's finish talking about this first; Otherwise, I can't concentrate! ”

Zhang Hua's words have rekindled the martial arts dream in his heart from Gongzi Wei Xing!

Zhang Hua naturally knew that Gongzi once had a dream of becoming a peerless master, so he had to rely on him and replied seriously: "The year you were born, we fled for our lives, and the grandmaster of the royal family secretly blocked a lot of killings and robberies for us, and finally fought with the grandmaster sent by Sima Gou, and I don't know the final outcome; But in the end, we never received any more marks and instructions from his old man! ”

Speaking of the back, Zhang Hua couldn't help but shed tears!

Gongzi Wei Xing naturally knew what this meant, another nameless person paid for his life, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and scolded: "One day, I will kill all Sima Dogs!" ”

Although they were ruthless, both of them felt that this day was very slim!

"The martial arts of the grandmaster have reached the level of both rigidity and softness, and the individual ability is very strong; But on the battlefield, if a thousand soldiers are not afraid of death, they can also surround him! Wearing the leather armor and leather hat of our Phoenix Fort, I feel that three or four hundred elite soldiers could grind him to death! ”

In order to prevent Gongzi from encountering a grandmaster-level enemy one day in the future, Zhang Hua will now tell all the advantages and disadvantages of the grandmaster!

"Let's get down to business, the grandmaster is nothing, and the trouble is real." Gongzi Wei Xing muttered helplessly, shook his head, and woke up.

"Regardless of whether the treasure exists or not, whether it is true or not! Counting the old picture, there are ten copies in total, and whether there are imitations or not, it is impossible to predict, and there will be all kinds of uninvited guests around the lake soon, and our secret valley is likely to be exposed! Zhang Hua said worriedly.

The auction house on the black market dared to auction, and it should have identified the authenticity of the old picture, and the auction house had already vouched for it with its own reputation, which also meant that Zang Bao's existence was very likely.

Otherwise, no one would dare to spend a lot of money to get this parchment roll, no one's money would want to be thrown away in vain, and no one would want to become a joke in other people's mouths.

There are at least nine groups of men and horses tossing back and forth near the lake, and there is a good chance of discovering the valley, unless the treasure is not well hidden, and it will not take much effort to find it;

Otherwise, these uninvited guests will have to dig three feet into the ground near the lake, and they will not stop until they find the treasure!

"Uncle Hua, how many people are in this Qiang tribe?" Gongzi Wei Xing suddenly asked.

Zhang Hua didn't know why Gongzi Wei Xing suddenly brought up this question, and replied casually: "There are more than 15,000 people and more than 3,000 households, which are the relatively large Qiang tribes near them!" ”

"Uncle Hua, are slaves included?" Gongzi Wei Xing asked further.

The tribes or kingdoms in the Western Regions generally do not count slaves when counting the population;

In their eyes, slaves were like their own cattle and sheep.

In later generations, some documents were unearthed one after another, on which the population was recorded, and some kingdoms had tens of thousands of people, and as few as hundreds;

Many people now laugh in their hearts, and the tribe of hundreds of people dares to call it a kingdom, and there are thousands of people in a random village around them.

In fact, most of these official records do not include slaves.

Where slavery existed, the number of slaves was often many times greater than that of normal herders.

Even in later generations, when the liberation was carried out in 49 years, slavery was still prevalent in Xinjiang and Tibet, and powerful people such as monasteries and tusi kept a large number of slaves in captivity.

"It should be included, this Qiang tribe is obviously not a super tribe!" Zhang Hua thought for a moment and speculated.

"Even so, one household produces one ding, and the Qiang tribe can organize a team of three thousand people at any time; At an urgent moment, we can even pull out a cavalry of seven or eight thousand, and our Phoenix Fort will not be able to resist at all! Childe Wei Xing looked very depressed.

In this era, the nomadic tribes rarely had any regular troops, and in case of war, almost all the people were soldiers;

In the case of an expedition, it is recruited according to the number of households, one ding, two dings, or three dings per household.

Both of them can guess that after this Qiang tribe gets the Zang treasure map, the tribe will definitely let people redraw it in case of accidents;

Replaced by Wei Xing and Zhang Hua, these people are the same, send people to go out with pictures to look for them, and it is naturally impossible not to prepare another one at home, so as not to lose it unfortunately.

People sit at home, disaster comes from the sky, this is a calamity, both of them sighed, regardless of the truth of Zang Baotu, the crisis of Phoenix Fort seems to be unavoidable!

A random Zang Baotu force can wipe out Phoenix Castle, but now there are at least nine such forces who want to come here to hunt for treasures, which suddenly makes the two of them worry to death, and the sense of crisis is very heavy!

The two prayed in their hearts, hoping that they would come to some inconspicuous small forces;

However, the average petty forces either do not have the financial resources to win the parchment or the ability to grab the parchment, and it is clear that what they are praying for is not likely to be realized.

Unless, unless, God is occasionally blind!

"Uncle Hua, you go back to the fort with me to discuss with everyone what to do, leave now, no longer take the waterway!" Gongzi Wei Xing said immediately.

Seeing that Gongzi was so resolute, Zhang Hua guessed that he might have some way, and immediately nodded.

"By the way, Uncle Hua, let people bring a few more sets of leather armor and fur hats, and the raisins will not be brought for the time being! Later, I will ask Lu Lao to temporarily transfer twenty apprentices, and rush back to Phoenix Fort with this batch of leather armor and leather hats with us. Gongzi Wei Xing immediately remembered these and immediately instructed.

Zhang Hua didn't know what Childe was going to do, but Childe never disappointed everyone;

Time was pressing, and he didn't have time to ask too much about the reason, so he immediately walked out of the door and gave the order!

He quickly walked back and said, "Regarding Lu Lao's side, you need to go out yourself; Otherwise, the extremely stubborn old man Lu should be furious again! ”

When it comes to crossbows and crossbow arrows, no one dares to work hard with Old Man Lu;

Once Old Man Lu has three long and two short, Phoenix Fort is like a broken leg, and no one can afford this responsibility!

In everyone's eyes, the cunning and invincible, and unrivaled son is the nemesis of Old Man Lu!

"Lu Lao is an old man who understands the general situation, takes the overall situation into account and is reasonable, he is very talkative." Childe Wei Xingdao.

Zhang Hua thought to himself, if he said this in reverse, everyone would believe that Old Man Lu was the most difficult and difficult person to serve in Phoenix Castle; But who made him a master-level blacksmith, and he also complained that Gongzi asked someone to use the wrong method, and in the end it was made clear to people, which is really embarrassing!

Seeing that Uncle Hua didn't accept the offer coldly, Gongzi Wei Xing shook his head, and then dropped a sentence: "Try not to let more people know about the treasure map, those who already know need to give a ban!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the door and walked in the direction of the iron-making cave.

Zhang Hua naturally understood the meaning of Gongzi's words very well, and was afraid that it would spread, and some people were obsessed with talking nonsense, and even secretly went to find it themselves;

I'm even more afraid that it will affect the morale and morale of the Phoenix Fort!

"Childe, what about the three Qiang people? Slaughtered? Zhang Hua suddenly remembered this and hurriedly ran out of the room.

Gongzi Wei Xing turned around and said with a headache: "Uncle Hua, we are not horse bandits, don't be so cruel, okay?" ”
