Twenty days later, on Tianti Mountain, more than 50 miles southeast of Guzang City, Li Fan was leading hundreds of strong, black-clothed and masked men, pulling more than 400 carts, lurking among the bald rocks of the mountain pass.

Tiantai Mountain, the mountain is majestic, steep and straight, the main peak goes straight into the sky, the mountain is cut out of a stone step by the ancestor knife and axe, people go up along the stone steps, look as if they are climbing the ladder from a distance, so they get this name.

The south cliff of the mountain builds a huge grotto, a big Buddha as high as nine zhang, sits in the grotto, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, makes an orchid finger with one hand, and looks down on all living beings under the mountain.

This grotto was the first of the five Hu and sixteen kingdoms of the period of the Beiliang country, the Huns frustrated the canal Mengxun built, it took 20 years, mobilized hundreds of thousands of people, only to dig out this Buddha cave on this cliff, the mountain also built a big Buddha temple, a generation of high monks Tan Yao had personally abbot this big Buddha temple, supervised the construction of this rare Buddha statue single-handedly.

After the collapse of the former Qin Empire of Fu Jian, the general Lu Guang established Houliang in this place, and then split, the Southern Liang of the Xianbei Bald Department, the Northern Liang of the Xiongnu Fuqu Department, the Western Qin of the Xianbei Beggarly Department, the Western Liang of the Han people, plus the Hou Qin of the Qiang people, and the Hu Xia of the Xiongnu Tiefu Department, the multinational scuffle, and the once prosperous and civilized Liangzhou was beaten into a river of blood in the past few decades.

It is precisely because of this that Beiliang, who had briefly unified Liangzhou, would build Buddhist temples and build Buddhist caves, even if the murderous Hun barbarian king Fuqu Mengxun also hoped that this land could be peaceful and peaceful.

Ten days ago, Wang Huaqiang sent a letter from Daxing, saying that the goods had been transported to Jincheng County in Longxi, and asked Li Fan to bring people to this Tianti Mountain to respond in the past two days.

The moon is empty, according to the agreement, today's joint is in Shenshi, and then change the car to load, bypass Guzang City overnight, cross the desert, and transport to the border.

Exactly the same as the plan at that time, Li Fan brought the cars of the four major merchants this time, under the banners of the four companies, and each car was piled up with some ordinary goods such as rice, grain, silk and silk, which were used to cover up these iron ores, and a few days ago, Liang Shuo and Cao Zhen had also taken Yu Qingze to take care of it, and three days ago Cao Zhen had set off with the soldiers to the border Yangguan, which was thousands of miles away in the northwest, and he was responsible for this month's border patrol.

An Xinggui has now brought An Suiyu's contact person to guard the border, as long as he sends this batch of goods to An Xinggui overnight tonight, it will be considered a great success, and the rest is to wait for An Xinggui to share the spoils after he returns.

A steward Zhang beside Li Fan quietly came up and reminded him in a low voice: "President, now that the time has passed, they haven't arrived yet, do you think it will happen?" ”

Li Fan shook his head: "Wait, after all, it's 700,000 catties of iron ore, and besides, that Wei Chiqin is not familiar with the Guzang area, so it's not surprising that he can't find this place." Steward Zhang, you go and light the pyre, maybe they will come when they see the fire. ”

Steward Zhang's face changed slightly: "President, won't this expose us?" What if the officers and soldiers saw it? ”

Li Fan gritted his teeth: "We now have legitimate trade goods in our hands, and we are not afraid that the officers and soldiers will come to check, and after a while the surname Wei comes late, we will quickly trade and leave here, it is really not possible, so we will pull out the flags of the four businesses first, and rush out first." ”

Steward Zhang nodded and ran backwards, and soon, a huge fire was lit, and the flames rose into the sky, lighting up the entire night sky.

In the dark night three miles away, there was suddenly a little firelight, three up and three down, obviously a code for some kind of joint, Li Fan's brows stretched out suddenly, this is the agreed joint method in the letter, he personally took a torch soaked in pine resin from the hands of the people around him, lit it, three times and three up, in response.

The torch on the opposite side was extinguished in the vast night, and Li Fan hurriedly asked someone to extinguish the big fire, and after a while, there was a crowd of people outside the valley, and the sound of horses' hooves was broken, Li Fan clearly saw Wang Huaqiang riding a high-headed white horse, the horse's mouth was covered with a chew, to silence it, and Wang Huaqiang on the horse was waving to himself.

Li Fan Xuan, Zheng Yushuo, that is, the hard Miao, the Miao, the Shun Shun, the Falcon Qiang, the Wai Jing, the Di Neck, the Huang Glimpse, the Frozen Ridge, the Frozen Body, the Collapse of the File, the Pull Realm, the Vertical System, the Silicon, the Still Level, the Body, the Machine, the Machine, the Sword, the Machine, the Machine, the Sword, the Emperor

Wang Huaqiang was sweating profusely, obviously running wildly all the way, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "This batch is only 500,000 catties, and there are still 200,000 catties, I'm afraid it will take a month to arrive." ”

Li Fan was slightly stunned, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you make an appointment with 700,000 catties?" How only half a million! If you breach the contract like this, what should I do if Miss An doesn't admit it? ”

Wang Huaqiang adjusted his breathing and sighed: "Actually, I only prepared 500,000 yuan, it was An Suiyu's little girl who insisted on 1 million, and I had no choice but to report 700,000, this time I went back to Daxing, Brother Liu said, the last time the 300,000 catties of iron ore trading seemed to be noticed by the emperor, and Youzhou and Youzhou were strictly investigating the iron ore trade, and for a while, the 200,000 catties were difficult to gather."

Brother Liu was afraid that he would miss our transaction, so he asked me to take the 500,000 catties of iron ore that had been prepared on the road first, and we were also careful to avoid the investigation along the way, and we were not familiar with this Guzang's road, so we came a little late. President Li, don't worry, even if it's only 50,000 catties, An Suiyu will definitely want it. ”

Li Fan's tone aggravated a little: "Brother Wei Chi, dishonesty in business is a taboo for us businessmen, if you can't do it in the future, don't make promises casually." Time is running out now, let's hurry up and change cars. ”

Wang Huaqiang glanced at the long line of convoys behind him and said: "Brother Li, I'm afraid it's too late to change cars now, it's dark night, if you want to change cars, you can only light torches, which will attract officers and soldiers, it's better to use our car, and put the flags of the four of you on the car, how about it?" ”

Li Fan glanced at a big cart behind Wang Huaqiang, several guys in the cart also kept panting, it seemed that they had just rushed all the way over, only to see that a car behind was also covered with conventional goods such as rice, noodles and wine, he walked to the car that was at the head, moved the rice bag on the head, and saw more than a dozen big bags in the car below, untied a pocket, and it was really black iron ore inside.

Wang Huaqiang wiped the sweat on his forehead and said hurriedly: "President Li, all 500,000 catties are here, and there is also a ready-made cover on it, as long as you change the flag, time is urgent, and you can't waste it anymore." ”

Li Fan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice to Wang Huaqiang: "Brother Wei Chi, I can say ugly things in front, and I would have to inspect the goods at the same time, but you said that the time is tight, and you can't attract officers and soldiers in the dark night, and I have the right to listen to you once, but if there is a problem with your goods here, and the An brothers and sisters over there refuse to accept it, we won't help you ship it back, and you will be responsible for the loss of our manpower and material resources." ”

Wang Huaqiang was already sweating like pulp, he kept nodding his head and said, "President Duyi Li, hurry up and change the flag." ”

Li Fan Xuan, Zheng ∑Xuan, Zheng Xuan, Huang Huang

Only half a pillar of incense kung fu, the flags were all planted, the speed was so fast, even Wang Huaqiang's men who were driving the car and pulling the car did not move much, Wang Huaqiang saw that the flags were all planted, so he turned his head to Li Fan and said: "President Li, let's go on the road." ”

Li Fan was slightly stunned: "The flag has been changed, but the guy who is driving the car won't change it?" ”

Wang Huaqiang frowned: "They are used to driving all the way, anyway, it's just the last part of the road, just let them transport it, I'm late this time, I'm sorry to trouble President Li's brothers, the foot strength on this road, it's right for me to apologize to President Li." ”
