In the south of the Yangtze River in May, the sky is bright very early, when the hour is still at the beginning of the hour, the water antenna on the edge of the sky, there has been a touch of fish belly white, by this faint morning light, the people on Mudun Island are boiling, countless people are busy running, the water robbers dressed in black clothes are like ants moving, the gold and silver utensils hidden in the silver box in the cave, replaced them with sacks for shipment, and then moved on a small boat, filled one, and drove away, rowed to the lake, and disappeared in the morning fog.

"Is it safe to ship like this? That's money, it's hard to come by, and it's a pity to lose it. Li Tingyu seemed to be digging into his heart, standing on the shore and looking at this scene with a frowning face, and asked in a trembling voice.

"Don't worry, Lord Li, these people are brothers who have followed me for many years, and they are doing things safely, and there will be no mistakes." Zu Bian stood beside him and replied confidently, "Senator Wang has told us that they will row the boat to another secret place by the lake, melt the gold and silver with a large furnace, and turn them into gold and silver ingots, which will be properly kept by Lord Ma Quan and my eldest brother. When the wind has passed, you can take it out and spend it. ”

The corners of Li Tingyu's mouth twitched, and his heart hurt even more, such a large amount of treasure, if it is transported back to Sichuan, I don't know how much welfare it can do for the people, how many soldiers and horses can be raised, Wang Huan, a loser, threw it all here without frowning, is it really worth it?

However, since he knows that Wang Huan is reasonable, taking these gold and silver on the road is equivalent to putting a life talisman on himself, and it is impossible to return to SC alive He understands the truth that people die for money and birds die for food, and Ma Quan wants to stay here, and he can't do without this windfall, so the pain of the flesh is the pain of the flesh, what to do, Li Tingyu knows in his heart.

"Alas, I've never seen so much silver in my life, and my hands haven't been hot, so it's over." Li Tingyu muttered with infinite pity, looked at the boats shuttling back and forth, and sighed helplessly.

"Huh? What do you say, sir? Zubian didn't hear clearly, thinking that Li Tingyu was saying something to himself, so he hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, are you ready for what Senator Wang asked you to prepare?" Li Tingyu said angrily.

Zubian hurriedly said: "It has already been prepared, the twenty boats are fully loaded, covered with tarpaulin, and as soon as we leave, the original boatmen will drive the boat north, and our people are watching on the boat, and those boatmen dare not run around." ”

Li Tingyu nodded: "When the silver box is moved, we will leave immediately, this Mudun Island has been in place for two days, if you don't leave, Qinggou may find here at any time, you go and urge the little ones, let them speed up their movements, and they must finish moving before the hour." ”

Zu Bian agreed, walked away, and shouted and urged.

The transportation of more than 1,000 people was very effective, before Li Tingyu's time limit, hundreds of huge silver boxes of all sizes piled up in the cave were emptied, and all the belongings were scattered into countless small boats, and disappeared on the lake one after another.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Wang Huan wiped the sweat on his head, took a long breath, and said to Ma Quan solemnly: "Master Ma, the future road depends on you, Lord Li left only a hundred personal soldiers for you, there are very few people, you are under a lot of pressure." ”

Ma Quan's face was also covered with beads of sweat, and he replied calmly: "The senator can rest assured, the ancestor God has given him credibility, and with him here in the town, he will definitely be able to live up to the trust of the adults and the senators, and in this place in the heart of the south and Zhili, he will manage a climate, and lay the foundation for the adults to go south and east in the future!" ”

After a pause, Ma Quan smiled again: "No matter how bad it is, at least you can rely on the two million taels of gold and silver left by the senator, backed by the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River, buying and selling from north to south, being a rich and rival rich country, and making a big cornucopia for adults, just like Shen Wansan funded the Ming Taizu back then, and funded the military expenses for the army." ”

Wang Huan also smiled slightly when he heard this, he knew that Ma Quan had this ability, from his ability to make five hundred white pole soldiers survive for more than ten days after cutting off the supply of military rations as a quartermaster, he knew that this person was a person who was good at calculation and active in mind, such a talent, in addition to fighting, was definitely a good hand in business.

"But Lord Ma, staying here is by no means as easy as the words say, the Manchu Banner people are not so easy to deceive, you must not only gain their trust, but also secretly protect the activities of the ancestors, you must be careful everywhere, everything must be preserved by yourself, if you really can't do anything, you must leave in time, don't care about the money, keep it useful, better than anything, remember to remember!" Wang Huan thought about it and instructed carefully.

"The senator can rest assured that before Ma Quan joined the army, he also traveled thousands of miles and traveled thousands of miles, saving priorities." Ma Quan knew that Wang Huan's advice was really concerned about himself, and he was grateful, so he hurriedly bowed slightly and responded, in his eyes, Wang Huan in front of him was no longer a little monk, and he had already regarded him as a real military advisor, and he respected him very much in his heart.

At this time, a personal soldier came over, holding a set of clothes in his hand, Ma Quan saw it, looked at the sky outside, and hurriedly said: "Senator, the sky is already bright, this thing has been moved, and the boat outside is ready and ready to leave at any time." Master Li, they have already changed into civilian clothes, should you also change your monk's robe? ”

Wang Huan was still wearing the tattered monk's robe when he was in Yangzhou at this time, and he was already dusty and dirty.

After changing clothes, the two walked out of the cave and came to the dock on the island, where Li Tingyu and others were already waiting, and four hundred white pole soldiers were also lined up on the side, and dozens of large boats were parked on the lake, the hull water level was very low, and it seemed that it was loaded with a lot of goods, and it was tightly wrapped in tarpaulin.

Li Tingyu was wearing a cotton gown, wearing a cloth scarf on his head, stepping on thousands of layers of boots, and a piece of inferior jade pendant that was neither green nor white hung around his waist, a standard weathered small businessman's dress, Li Yan and several thousand general officers were also dressed in the same way, while the other sergeants were all dressed in short fights, some dressed as sailors, some dressed as Lifu, and some held shuttle darts and long sticks, dressed as village braves, and all changed their clothes. Even the little monks such as Chen Ergou and Xu Goudan also changed into a set of linen clothes with a bald head and blended in the crowd.

Wang Huan looked at himself, then at the others, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Who prepared the clothes for me?" Why is it different from theirs? ”

Ma Quan hurriedly said: "It is prepared under the mark, because the senator is not tall, there are only a few sets of suitable linen clothes, all of which are worn by the little monks with the senator, and this is the only set left. ”

Wang Huan opened his mouth helplessly, wanting Ma Quan to find another set, after thinking about it, he closed his mouth again, shook his head, and had to flick the collared robe he was wearing, and walked towards the dock.

Li Tingyu and the others were talking, but they didn't notice Wang Huan coming over at first, but when he got closer, he suddenly found that a person who was dressed differently from an ordinary businessman like himself and a person who worked under him came in, and when he looked at it, this person was actually Wang Huan.

Everyone's eyes were attracted, this is indeed very eye-catching, a character dressed as a talented scribe, in a group of merchants Jia Lifu, it is impossible not to stand out.

It's just that this show is still bald.
