"Hum," Ma Dao Stone Fort, a large black car rushed out of the mill compound, the body was as long as three feet, more than six feet wide, the back compartment was sealed tightly by the thick iron sheet of the four sides, and a guard in the cab drove the car out steadily.

"This is the transport cart, it doesn't look like it," the old craftsman beside Kang Hongyuan muttered, in order to transport this cart out, they finally used two carriages, and it took four hours to move out of the tunnel.

"The adult sent a message that it was a sling, a step higher than the transport car, and it took a lot of effort to get it out," Kang Hongyuan looked at the car enviously and pointed to the bottom of the car, "Don't you see, the bottom of the car is a lot higher than the ground, more than two feet,"

"It seems that he can't run slower than a war horse," the other old craftsman held a long cigarette stick, and nodded his head very surely, in fact, he had never sat in this car that could levitate, and he did not dare to worship ghosts and gods.

Dengdeng, a herald with a young face ran in front of him, ran to Kang Hongyuan, pointed to the transport vehicle in the direction of the warehouse, and said crisply, "Uncle Kang, Wang Xiucai has a message for you, your lord has an order, go and pick up the goods immediately, this time all the trucks are loaded, just that big car, the war battalion sent someone to escort Eagle Claw Fort,"

Eh, it's the eldest daughter of the Li family, this girl, she really can't recognize her in a military uniform, Kang Hongyuan looked at the herald in front of him in a khaki uniform, and nodded with a smile, "Cheng, you call Wang Xiucai back, the mill will send someone immediately, and you can't delay the adult's affairs,"

"Okay," the herald held the somewhat crooked iron helmet on his head, waved his hand and ran back, the long hair leaking from the bottom edge of the iron helmet, and several old craftsmen who watched it sighed.

Gu Jiabao turned to Xiao Ye in the inner fort, sat in front of Jin Sanniang and was silent for a long time, and Xiaomei changed the hot tea in the teacup at hand twice.

Maybe it was because he saw too many sergeants pass away, and the sound of the wick popping woke up Xiao Ye, not so sad at the moment, just by the light of the lamp and candle on the table, spread out a blank piece of paper, "Sanniang, grind the ink,"

The brush was dipped in ink, and Xiao Ye wrote down the names of more than a dozen goods one by one, and added short firearms and rear-loading fires/guns, which could be taken out and sold for money, and he wrote them all down; For this woman of his own, he didn't want to limit the kindness of the other party.

"These, as long as I have the goods, your Jin family will buy them first, and you can discuss the other two," look at the woman next to her, Xiao Ye said.

"But the grain and minerals I need, especially the heavy stone, you must supply them with all your might, and the supply of other business roads, if you can reduce it, you will reduce it," such a domineering statement, Jin Sanniang was not surprised.

I just received the news that there was a group of horse thieves outside Qingfeng Valley, who intercepted and killed several teams of merchants one after another, among which the Huang family caravan was also robbed, and the deacon and his men escorted more than 100 people, and killed them cleanly.

The Jin family's caravan was lucky, the goods were robbed, but the people were left behind, to say that there is no shadow of Xiao Ye here, Sanniang really doesn't believe it.

However, with the three stone castles here, can he eat so many goods, Jin Sanniang hesitated in his heart, but his mouth responded to Xiao Ye, "Okay, the Jin family caravan doesn't have to take so many risks,"

Of course, if Xiao Ye could come up with enough assault vehicles and transport vehicles, Jin Sanniang would not be so entangled, the merchants walked north and south, in order to make a profit, and the transaction with Xiao Ye, Sanniang wished to be able to take the lead.

Putting himself in his own body is also an investment, if he can't get back the super double profits, the Jin family will let Xiao Ye know what is called law and what is revenge.

Kang Hongyuan and his men acted skillfully, and it took them two hours to pull the goods back to the mill with the carriagemen's lights, and then they were carried out by a group of sergeants and put on the black crestling transporter.

More than a dozen large iron boxes were packed into the rear compartment, but they did not fill half of the space, and the two boxes of black batteries sent from the warehouse were also loaded into the compartment; A craftsman figured out the bolt on the back door of the carriage, clicked the back door, and carefully explained it to Yu Shan's sergeant.

There are two rows in the cab, the back row can sit three armed sergeants, a short herald, Yu Shan in front of him personally drove, and next to him sat two chiefs, carrying a box cannon in their waists and holding a square iron box.

Pressing his handprint on the list brought by Wang Gui, Yu Shan greeted Wang Meng and said, "Let's go,"

Got into the cab, closed the door, Yu Shan turned on the switch, turned on the headlights, and felt the car float up to the position, then he stepped on the pedal, "Hum," the huge transport truck moved forward lightly.

After groping for a meal with someone, Yu Shan had already figured out the condition of the car, which was basically no different from the driving of an assault car, but the car was much bigger, and the speed had not been tried.

The transport car drove into the valley, because there were a large number of triangular stone pillars on both sides, Yu Shan did not dare to let go of the speed, until the car drove into the grassland, which accelerated the speed; Halfway down the pedals, the humming transport truck slammed forward, picked up speed, and whizzed above the vine grass.

"My mother, this is too fast, Brother Yu, slow down," The two chiefs next to Yu Shan were originally bold lords, but sitting in the car, they were also frightened by the speed of the car, and took care of Yu Shan from time to time.

However, Yu Shan had been stimulated to the point that his brain was full of muscles, and although his mouth responded, he added a little more force under his feet, saw the direction of Eagle Claw Fort, and kept speeding up; He wanted to see how fast the cart could be faster than the war horse at Eagle Talon Fort.

The cab was well sealed, a little stuffy, Yu Shan rolled down half of the window, listened to the whirring wind outside, and stared at the pillar of light in front of him with a red face; In addition to the sound of heavy breathing in the cab, everyone was watching the twilight outside.

The grassland was pitch black, the cold wind was howling, if it weren't for the sparse Coptis trees on the side, maybe Yushan wouldn't even be able to find Eagle Claw Fort excitedly; But it was the Huang Lian Shu that could be seen that retreated quickly in a row, so that the guards and sergeants clung to the places they could, and their bodies were tense and straight, for fear that Yu Shan would accidentally bump into something.

In less than half an hour, the herald in the transport car, pressing the whistle earmuffs, contacted Fort Talon.

In the military building of the East Fort of Eagle Claw, oil lamps were lit on the kang platform, and Liu Shuihe and Hao Yongliang sat on the kang and chatted casually, waiting for Yu Shan's arrival.

In this barracks, gambling is not allowed, no fighting, and even drinking can only be drunk once a small bowl per person every night, and if there are more, they have to be allowed by officers above the rank of chief, and they are really bored, and they dare not let go of drinking.

Fortunately, the drills of the sergeants every day are quite physically demanding, the grass is tired like a dead dog from morning to night, and there are two days to reunite with their families in the middle of the month.

On the low table on the kang is a bamboo basket, which contains walnuts, melon seeds, dried dates, raisins, and egg-sized chestnuts that are cooked, and when they are bitten, they taste soft; This was bought by Liu Shuihe from the shop in Xibao.

Hao Yongliang likes to smoke dry tobacco, and if he wants to buy it, he sells some tobacco leaves, and he won't buy dried fruits.

A small pot of ale, two wine cups, and the two of them chatting about tomorrow's performance, eating slowly and methodically to relieve their boredom.

"I said, you see how long it takes, we have to have a hope, why don't we lie down for a while," pinching the dates and throwing them into his mouth, Liu Shuihe asked as he chewed, fiddling with the wooden box in his hand; There was a chess set in the wooden box, but Hao Yongliang didn't like it, so he could only wait and find someone else to have fun.

"Well, I'll take a look," Hao Yongliang took a sip of ale wine, put down the wine cup, and carefully took out a leather case from his bosom, which contained his treasure, the pocket watch; He cherished this kind of pocket watch that could be used as an heirloom, and found someone to make a cowhide case.

Taking out the pocket watch, Hao Yongliang took out another soft cloth and carefully wiped the pocket watch, then opened the watch cover leisurely and looked at the time inside, "Nine o'clock, oh, it's the end of the hour, Yu Shan estimates that there will be another hour to arrive, hehe, two hours,"

In Liu Shuihe's envious gaze, Hao Yongliang put away the pocket watch and put it in his arms, and then he reacted, "By the way, why don't you go to Xin Xiucai and exchange your military exploits for a pocket watch?" ”

"Hehe, this, this," Liu Shuihe's eyes flickered, not wanting to tell the truth, but he couldn't bear Hao Yongliang's only vigorous questioning, so he looked at the door mysteriously and lowered his voice.

"Brother, let's fall in love, brother, I said, you can't tell others, otherwise the two of us will be decided," Liu Shuihe's words even raised Hao Yongliang's interest, patted his chest and swore a curse, and finally made Liu Shuihe believe it.

However, how did he know that the boring war camp in the stone castle was a bit of a storm, and it was estimated that at the end of the month, the big guys would know about it, and they chatted together all day long, and no one could keep their mouths shut for a long time.

Even people like Hao Yongliang, who don't like to spread the wind and rain, also have times when he is slightly drunk after drinking, and his oath only works when he is sober.

"My mother-in-law is not in Madao Stone Fort, she helps in the room, and is with the mother-in-law who guards Huzi, everyone knows that Huzi's mother-in-law is very tight-mouthed,"

"The relationship between the two of them is quite good, and my mother-in-law heard that when Huzi was in charge, the adults chatted and drank tea with Wang Xiucai, and talked about their military exploits," Speaking of this, Liu Shuihe pinched a raisin and ate it in his mouth; Hao Yongliang hurriedly picked up the wine jug and poured the last ale into the wine cup in front of Liu Shuihe.

Nodding with satisfaction, Liu Shuihezi slipped down the ale and smashed his mouth, "Wang Ziliang suggested to the adults that this battle merit can be accumulated, and a new stone castle will be built in the future, which can be exchanged for war merit,"

Liu Shuihe's words made a spark burst out of Hao Yongliang's eyes, staring at Liu Shuihe's mouth.

"But the adults didn't agree at the time, but they didn't object, they just said that they would see it later," this sentence made Hao Yongliang couldn't help but be deflated; Gu Jiabao heard some of the movements there, those medicine families can have clan elders, so will the Hao family also have a chance in the future.

"Now the logistics team is still repairing the stone fort, and when the stone fort is repaired more and more in the future, there will be a chance for us," as if he had seen through Hao Yongliang's thoughts, Liu Shuihe said with a smile.

"But there is one thing, no matter which stone fort, you can't disobey the military orders of the adults, and there must be a sergeant stationed in the stone fort,"

"That's, that's," Hao Yongliang nodded approvingly, he was Xiao Ye's loyal subordinate, and he couldn't see anyone who dared to offend adults.

"You said, there is a stone fort on the grassland, there is a water umbrella and no water source, plus your vine grass and fruit shop is harvesting, it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Bypassing the topic, Hao Yongliang fell into a state of contemplation.

"That's not necessarily, the grassland is windy and short of water, don't think about growing food, the vine grass and fruits don't look like they grow beans, it's good to graze cattle and sheep, and there are strong stone castles, even if the tartars come, don't be afraid," Liu Shuihe said very shrewdly, "What kind of rattan grass, adults say it's called jade vine,"

"It doesn't matter what it's called, if there is a black core in that fruit, then it's going to be issued," Hao Yongliang pointed to the hand lamp on the kang, "This thing needs to be used, even if it is used by assault vehicles and transport vehicles, that fruit is a great good thing,"

"Well, it's really useful to be able to cook even if you light it," the two commanders, who obviously didn't know much, leaned on the cushions and chatted hotly, and the little expectation in their hearts was also expanding little by little.

Who doesn't want to have a family in their hands, inherit the bloodline, and worship the prime minister is a fantasy, but the stone castle in front of him is real.

"My lord, Captain Yu Qian, they will be there soon, and the letter post has been contacted," a guard came in and woke up two officers who were dreaming.

"Got in touch? Isn't that within five miles, and they're leaving early? Liu Shuihe and Hao Yongliang grabbed their leather jackets and hurriedly ran out of the military house.

At the entrance of the semi-underground of Dongbao, before the guards could stand still, Liu Shuihe and Hao Yongliang saw two thick and snowy pillars of light flashing in the distance on the pitch-black grassland, and the familiar humming sound could also be heard. The voice seems to be a little louder.

At the same time, Yu Shan also saw the sergeant at the top of Eagle Claw Fort, the hand lamp that kept shaking in his hand.

The huge black shadow on the way made Liu Shuihe stare at him and pulled Hao Yongliang by the hand, "Brother, what did you see?" He asked about the car, but Hao Yongliang sounded something else.

Hao Yongliang squinted at the transport cart and thought for a while, "Stone Castle, Hao Family Stone Castle," his words made Liu Shuiyi stunned, and then laughed as well.

What seemed to be a huge transport cart, comparable to the length and width of four carriages, made a beautiful turn a dozen paces away in front of everyone, and the pillar of light swept by, and came to a steady stop; With the slightest sound, the body slowly lowered its height and finally stopped on the ground.

Yu Shan jumped out of the cab and grabbed a list, "Brother Liu, Brother Hao, the goods have arrived, three boxes," a sergeant got out of the car, went to the back of the car with a handlight, and opened the rear door with two clicks.

These three boxes, loaded with fire/guns and projectiles, had to be stored in the warehouse that had just been cleaned up, and no one could take them out without Xiao Ye's warrant.

Without asking about the goods in the box, Liu Shuihe and Hao Yongliang circled around the car several times, and then pulled Yu Shan and asked, "Yu Shan, I haven't seen this car before, is it new?" ”

"The car is running so fast, can it be compared to a war horse?"

"On a cold day, is it cold in the car?"

Yu Shan, who was busy replacing the battery of the car with two sergeants, replied very succinctly, "The newcomer, fast, much faster than the war horse, the car is not cold, it is very stuffy,"

Like the assault vehicle, this big transport vehicle has to change the battery every fifty miles, but Yu Shan found that it seems that the weight of the car is much larger, and the speed is needless to say, so fast that he can't close his mouth.

No matter how much a war horse can run, it can't run for fifty miles, let alone run above the vine grass.

After handing over the firearms, the car was filled with canned meat and some new bedding, and Yu Shan drove continued westward, not following the crooked coptis tree road, and ran straight to the west against the thick vine grass on the ground.

In less than an hour, that is, at the beginning of the hour, the herald in the car once again contacted the letter post in Gujiabao.

It is very rare that Xiao Ye did not go to bed early tonight, but drank hot tea, sat under the lamp in the room and read, Jin Sanniang took a Xiao Ye's uniform and accompanied him to mend the hole on it.

It wasn't until late at night that there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, and soon Yang Shibai walked lightly to the outside room, talking to Xiaomei in a low voice, Xiao Ye put down the book, "Eighteen, are they almost here in Yushan?" ”

"My lord, Yu Shan, they are four miles away, and they will be there soon," Yang Eighteen outside, replied in a low voice.

"Hehe, you're running pretty fast," Xiao Ye got up with a smile, put on a thick sheepskin coat, and took Sanniang's leather coat again, "Let's go, Sanniang will also go and have a look, it's going to be lively tonight,"

The two walked slowly to the gate of the inner fort, and when they looked up, they saw that at the entrance of the outer fort, two sergeants with hand lamps and commanding a tall black car drove leisurely.

The transport vehicle, with two snow-bright headlights, drove unhurriedly to the front of Xiao Ye, and with the slightest sound, the car suspended on the ground stopped steadily in the open space.

Yu Shan and a few people jumped out of the car, ran quickly in front of Xiao Ye, and knelt on one knee, "My lord, my subordinate Yu Shan led the team to pay the order, and the supplies are safe and sound,"

"Yu Shan, when will you set off from Madao Stone Fort?" Xiao Ye took out his pocket watch, and Yang Shibai hurriedly lit the hand lamp.

"My lord, my subordinates set off at the beginning of the time and were delayed in Eagle Claw Fort for half an hour," Listening to Yu Shan's words, Xiao Ye looked at his pocket watch, and couldn't help but be happy on his face, more than a hundred miles away, Yu Shan only took an hour, but it was too fast than riding a horse.

Jin Sanniang, who was by Xiao Ye's side, was also stunned when she heard this, and there was a faint hint of strangeness between her eyebrows, but she endured it and didn't say anything.

"Get up," Xiao Ye waved his hand to let Yu Shan and them get up, and when he saw Wang Hu running over with someone, he said loudly, "Wang Hu, take someone to unload the car, those are all supplies for you, just send them to the warehouse,"

"Yes, my lord," Wang Hu bowed to Xiao Ye, walked to Yu Shan and took the list, and after a rough look under the light, he put his arm around Yu Shan's shoulder with a smile, "Brother Yu, let's go, there is still a pot of beef in the room, it's hot,"

As he spoke, he pulled Yu Shan into the cab, but he had to open his eyes first.

A guard came up and took the small iron box from the chief, and the big guys let the car go to the direction of the warehouse with the transport car.

Seeing that Yu Shan and them were gone, Xiao Ye looked at Jin Sanniang beside him with a smile, "Sanniang, what did you see?" ”

Jin Sanniang pursed her cherry lips and hugged Xiao Ye's arm, "That car, I want one, I can do it as much as I want,"

"Hehe, it can pull five thousand catties of goods, and it runs faster than a war horse, I have that one in my hand for this kind of car, you should give me a heavy stone first, and the second one will be given to your Jin family," Xiao Ye didn't shake his head, but he didn't let go.

Bad guy, Jin Sanniang, who was leaning on Xiao Ye's side, swept the man's eyes, and knew that he couldn't sleep peacefully tonight, so he couldn't help blushing.

"Let's go, I have to get up early tomorrow, I'll take you to the warehouse, it's up to you Jin Sanniang's knowledge," Xiao Ye, who had a smile on the corner of his mouth, turned around and went back to the inner fort; Li Shan hugged the small iron box and followed behind without saying a word.

In the night, the cold wind became more rapid, whirring over the stone fort.

The gates of the outer fort and the inner fort are not equipped with gates, and there are dead wind lamps hanging in the doorway, and only inside the wall, there are large piles of triangular stone pillars; However, in the dim light, the walls of the fort, the two sides of the gate swayed from time to time, and there was a door under the strict supervision of the sergeants and guards, and no one dared to test it easily.
