"Lord Baihu," After everyone had settled down, Wang Dali stepped forward and handed back the rare telescope, and arched his hand, "I don't know, this telescope, as well as the crossbow, the triangular army/thorn, and the protective clothing, how did the Lord of the Baihu get it?" ”

As a blacksmith, Wang Dali has made knives and armor, and he has even seen firecrackers and shotguns, and he has only been on the mountain for more than ten days, and the sense of self-cherishment in his mind has become stronger and stronger.

Right now, on the stone mountain, it is secretly rumored that Ximen Xiao Ye Baihu is the reincarnation of the land lord, and he can take out a powerful military crossbow with a wave of his hand, not to mention the three strangely growing trees in front of the temple, which makes him feel more than a little more afraid in the eyes of everyone.

However, as long as one person returns to the fort, or sees outsiders, it is not guaranteed that these fast-mouthed men and women will sell the abilities and abilities of hundreds of households in a row, and win the envy of others.

In the eyes of civil officials and businessmen, it is just a temptation to make huge money, but in the eyes of military attachés, there are people who can see the potential; No matter what it is, it indicates that these things of the Lord of the Hundred Households will soon leak out in the eyes of outsiders, and at that time, the monstrous disaster of everyone on the stone mountain will come to an end.

Wang Dali's questioning not only made Xiao Ye silent, but also made these little flags look at each other and dare not say more.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Ye nodded at Wang Dali, understanding what he meant, "Uncle Wang, the position of the secretary of the Shiguan Baihu Office, I will bring back the clerical waist card and hand it over to you,"

"From today on, there will be a large number of people on the stone mountain, sergeants and craftsmen, without the permission of the official and the officials, they are not allowed to go down the mountain easily, and if they meet outsiders under the mountain, they are not allowed to mention anything about the officials and the hundred households, and the violators will be imprisoned and expelled," Since Xiao Ye couldn't think of a better way, he could only let everyone shut up everything related to him.

The first secret military order of 100 households in the history of the Ming Dynasty was issued.

The other ten small flags, Xiao Ye simply asked Wang Dali to report on the roster, this time he went to the Gravel Fort, changed the military household, and took the waist card, which can be regarded as tying the vast majority of people to his side.

He told everyone about Shiguantun, not Shiguan, which means that everyone should stay in the mountains, anyway, there is not much arable land under the mountain, so it is also good to open a stone mine for yourself in the mountain.

As for the food, we can only find another way.

So, the guards of the granary, the water, the blacksmith, the stonemason, the carpenter, the leader of the five small flags, finally filled in the book and became the little flags, and Xiao Ye solemnly wrote down their names.

As for the two chief flag officers, Xiao Ye didn't mention it, and the big guy didn't dare to ask. In a hundred households, only five small banners and fifty people can provide combat effectiveness, which is not strange in the Ming Dynasty.

The next day, Xiao Ye packed up his belongings, took ten people from Wang Hu's small banner, led a horse, carried the heads of the eight Tartars and a seizure, and set off for the gravel fort. At this time, the eight boys that Wang Hu thought were the bravest put on the simple leather armor of the Tartars, and carried the horned bow scimitar, and their faces were flushed with excitement, and the road was not easy.

Bypassing the dirt road blocked by vines and grass, the speed of the team increased closely; At noon, passing by the fire pier, Xiao Ye saw from the telescope that the Youdun army had come out of the fire pier, and rode first in the direction of the gravel fort, but he only smiled coldly.

The Tartar didn't report it in time, but it was the announcement that he went back to the Gravel Castle, which really chilled him to the bottom.

Different from the procrastination when going to Shiguan, the team marched very smoothly, and after resting for a meal in the north of the Xilong River, under the urging of Xiao Ye, crossed the river, and it took a day for the team to rush to the outside of the fort overnight.

You can't enter the fort at night, and with Tartars nearby, the fort gate was closed early.

Xiao Ye told Wang Hu a few words, settled Xiaoqi camping and resting, took Xiao Liuzi with him, and made a familiar detour under a city wall in the south, taking advantage of the gap between the patrols of the sergeants above, picking up the gaps in the city wall, and sneaking into the city in the dark.

The children who grew up in the fort city, a city of less than 5,000 people, although the walls seem to be strong and tall, they sneak in and out as many times in the past as the boards on their buttocks.

Moat? That's only available in the middle county and above, and I haven't heard of it here.

Entering the fort, Xiao Ye turned around the streets and alleys, first arrived at the Han family grain store, and knocked on the door of the store.

For a long time, the oil lamp was lit inside, and the guy in the store cursed in his mouth, opened the door stall, but before he could open the door, a long knife was squeezed in along the crack of the door, and the tip of the knife was on the throat of the guy.

"Brother Sancai, hello," holding a sharp blade in his hand, Xiao Liuzi kicked the wooden door, grabbed the man's chest with a gloomy smile, and pushed and broke into the store.

Earlier, Sancai relied on himself to be a guy in the grain industry, but he didn't bully Xiao Liuzi who had no flesh and bones, if he hadn't gone to Shishan, Xiao Liuzi would never have dreamed that he would be able to avenge his past after half a month's effort.

Xiao Ye, who was following behind, glanced at the dark street, dodged in, and closed the door of the store with his hand.

"You, you are, little Liuzi, oops," the mouth was habitually tricky, so that Sancai was finally cut on the shoulder by the back of the knife, and squatted on the ground with grinning teeth, not daring to say anything more; The gloom on Xiao Liuzi's face made him dare to stare at the blue brick ground with a fierce gaze.

"Who, who came to my Han family's grain store, it's really ......" Han Baocai, who was dressed in a short coat and thick clothes, heard the movement outside, put down the abacus in his hand, picked up the curtain and walked out of the door, and at a glance saw Xiao Ye squinting under the lamp, as well as Xiao Liuzi's long knife with cold light.

"Shopkeeper Han, farewell ten years ago, it's really been a few days, Xiao Mou came to see you tonight to see if your body bones are more refreshing," with a hint of evil in his voice, Xiao Ye pulled over a bench and sat down slowly.

"There is still my sergeant outside, you can run and shout if you want, I Xiao Ye will not block you, but whether my knife can stop you or not depends on your life," patting the handle of the knife on his waist, Xiao Ye became more and more unpredictable, and directly sealed Han Baocai's mouth tightly.

The grain he sold to Xiao Ye was all old grain, and some of it was already moldy, so he also claimed to have discounted it in a dignified manner, and took away all of Xiao Ye's silver.

"Oh, Ximen Baihu, look at what you said, everyone is an acquaintance, if you have something to say," Han Baocai, who has a ghost in his heart, never believes that Xiao Ye will kill people and rob money, but he can't bear it with an old fist; Their Han family is also an affiliate of one of the eight major merchants in the northwest, and if they really meet a stunned youth, at most they will lose some money, and the businessmen will not wield knives and guns.

But what if, Han Baocai's heart beat a drum. Those damn housekeepers are still drinking and chatting in the backyard.

"Say it well? Han Baocai, what do you say about the old grain you sold us, that thing doesn't even eat cows," the angry little sixth son put the long knife in his hand on the door panel, knocking loudly, but it made the three people on the ground breathe a sigh of relief; It turns out that this is the case, the shopkeeper who slammed the door instigated people's heads.

Waving his hand to stop Xiao Liuzi, Xiao Ye got up and arched his hand at Han Baocai, "Shopkeeper Han, you have to be true to your word when doing business, you can just give an explanation of the past, I, Xiao Ye, am a reasonable person,"

The implication is that if you Han Baocai didn't explain, then don't blame me for turning my face.

"That's that, our Han family's grain store is about credibility," Han Baocai wiped the fine sweat on his head, kept nodding his head, selling old grain made him a lot of money, and then took out his private money from his pocket, but his heart was also painful.

"Three hundred stone of new grain, the wheat will be harvested immediately, I believe that the shopkeeper Han will also empty the treasury, but I will be disrespectful," Xiao Ye did not open his mouth widely, he wanted to get back what he deserved, and took out the telescope again.

"This thing, shopkeeper Han, look at it, how many silver taels can you get in exchange?" Speaking of trading, Han Baocai, who was still full of pain just now, immediately cheered up.

"This is, clairvoyant," Han Baocai held the heavy telescope, remembering that in his hometown in Shanxi, his own young lady was playing with it, isn't this exactly what he played.

"That's right," Xiao Ye nodded, not correcting his statement, anyway, it was the same meaning.

"Where did you get that?" Han Baocai asked casually, then reacted, and gave up his hands in embarrassment, he really didn't want to offend this little hundred, the unpleasant smell on his body, three steps away, could make him panic.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, yesterday in the north of the Xilong River, we killed eight Tartars, which were captured," Xiao Ye said lightly, pulling out a bead the size of a pigeon's egg, "This thing was also captured,"

"Dongzhu," Han Baocai's eyes lit up suddenly, and before he could look carefully, the bead was taken into Xiao Ye's arms, "I'm going to hand it over to Lord Qianhu, but Shopkeeper Han still don't think about it,"

The telescope plus compensation, Han Baocai calculated, and gave 500 stone of grain, plus 20 carts, and 20 cattle pulling carts, Xiao Ye didn't say much, just asked the shopkeeper Han to get him a thick rope of 30 zhang, exempted two carts of grain, and exchanged for a cart of herbs.

Seeing that Xiao Baihu had become his repeat customer, he was still a big one, Han Baocai readily agreed, and made an appointment to settle on the bank of the Xilong River two days later.

Xiao Ye and Xiao Liuzi, without taking a sip of water, after explaining the matter, quickly said goodbye and left, Han Baocai played with the clairvoyance in his hand, and his mouth was slurking, such a good object worth a thousand taels of silver, he actually used some food and herbs, and exchanged it in his hand, and his fortune was shining brightly tonight.

"Shopkeeper, do you want to greet the guard," Sancai, who had a grim face, carefully closed the door of the store and came over attentively, "They haven't gone far yet, and the Lord of the Thousand Households ...... there"

Before he finished speaking, Han Baocai had already kicked over, kicking himself so that the guy fell to the ground, "You damn loser, you're not the shopkeeper yet,"

Han Baocai had a black old face, and looked at Sancai on the ground angrily, "If you dare to spoil my lord's financial route, be careful of the mass graves outside the city, and eat the head of the row is light," put down a cruel sentence, threw off his robe, and the beautiful Han shopkeeper, holding clairvoyance, went back to settle the account.

In the dark alley, Xiao Ye, who walked towards the Thousand Households, paused slightly, turned around and ran south; Behind him, Xiao Liuzi looked in the direction, with a hint of a smile on his face.

The direction of Yang Tianshou's house is in the southwest of the county, and when they passed by just now, Xiao Liuzi still wondered if Baihu didn't look down on his former fiancée, but he didn't expect that after the matter was done, he was in a hurry to go to someone's house.
