Chapter 20: The Eclipse
Chapter 20 Mrs. Eclipse said that the silk lady turned around outside for a while, and when she came back, the depression between her eyebrows had dissipated.
Tan Guide was still waiting in the room...... The rebel said that it was not good, he used to be the prince of Dayan Town, and when he led the troops, he only cared about fighting, lacking money, food and even manpower, he directly reached out to the court to ask, which minister dared to complain to him and shirk it, he directly threw a big hat that 'delayed the fighter plane and killed countless soldiers on the front line', but to see who had such a big head and could wear this hat.
But now it's not going to work, when it comes to rebellion, the first thing to solve is the belly of the sons and daughters under your command, otherwise how can you talk about fighting and winning wars?
In the past few years, Tan Guide has been so poor that he has been making noise, and he is getting more and more sad, if he continues like this, he may not die of old age, but he will first 'die of poverty', and now that he finally has a lot of money, how can the old man be willing to let go? Not to mention that Mrs. Bo just went out for a walk and didn't take too long, even if she ran out all night, Tan Guide would still wait.
Especially Mrs. Bo actually threw out a gold ingot from the burden sent by her subordinates, and the strange frustration on her face when she said good news, which made the old man feel unsure.
Tan Guide didn't even change his seat...... The old man is not young, his spirit is not as good as before, in order to wait for people to refuse to sleep late at night, Mrs. Bo felt a little apologetic in her heart, but she did not greet politely to say boring words such as 'forgiveness and waiting', and sat opposite the old man to get straight to the point: "Since the little demons transported 700,000 taels of gold into the mountains, my puppy has been tracking them. "Xie Men's lackeys can't find out the source of the gold, so they call the real owner of this gold 'old demon', and the old monster is naturally a little monster who helps the old monster transport gold.
Before the little demon transported the gold into the mountains, Mrs. Silk quietly followed all the way.
There are powerful characters in the little demons, and the dog who enters the mountain is a top expert at mountain tracking, and he has never been detected in sneaking and following. Soon after, the other party arrived at their destination, and a large amount of gold was buried in the ground, and then the little demons did not leave any of them, and all of them withdrew...... Tan Guide's white eyebrows frowned slightly: "Evacuate them all?" None left? ”
Mrs. Silk replied: "It is estimated that they think that the place where the gold is hidden is secret, so there is no need to leave someone to guard it." ”
After all the other party left, the puppy waited a few more days to make sure that they would not come back for the time being, so he cautiously leaned forward, dug up the dirt and saw that the gold was indeed there, and deliberately took out one of the pieces and brought it back to the owner.
Hearing this, Tan Guide nodded and understood the origin of the gold in Mrs. Silk's hand. And Mrs. Bo kept her voice and continued to tell the story, and the dog brought the gold, and hurried out of the mountain without any further delay, but before he could get out of the mountain, he noticed some unusual traces...... When the puppy entered the mountain, he chased the little demons, and when he left, everyone was still 'on the same road', but the time diverged for a few days.
Those little demons were cautious when they moved forward and returned, deliberately erasing the traces of people walking, but there were always some clues left, and they couldn't hide the puppy who was proficient in tracking. But on the way back, halfway through, the puppy suddenly found that the little demon had turned into a fork in the road, and the other party did not plan to return to the Yan Realm, as if he was planning to be a savage in the mountains.
Things are strange, especially about what traps the other party may set, the puppy did not dare to be negligent, and also chased the traces left by the little demon and turned together, wanting to see what they were going to do, but unexpectedly, after three days of tracking, in a hidden mountain pass, he found a large number of corpses...... All the people who transported the gold were killed.
700,000 taels of gold entered the mountain, the transportation capacity should not be underestimated, hundreds of people died tragically, and after death, the body was corroded by special Jianghu drugs, and the cause of death could not be seen at all. This is a tragic incident, but it is great news for Mrs. Silk and Tan Guide, who are planning to rob.
The other party eliminated all the little demons and extinguished them, firstly, to protect the secrets of the hidden gold land, and on the other hand, it also showed that the money would not be touched at least in the short term.
The old man laughed: "That's great, the dolls have already been prepared, just wait for the lady's order, we will go into the mountains to transport gold." ”
Mrs. Bo was not in a hurry, and asked, "How many people did the old man prepare for entering the mountain this time?" ”
Tan Guide stretched out two fingers: "Three thousand, they are all soldiers, the most loyal and the most elite, not to mention their skills." ”
700,000 taels is tens of thousands of catties, and it can't be transported at all if there are fewer people, but it can't be as exaggerated as 3,000 people, Tan Guide originally thought that the old demon would send a large team of people to stay behind, and there would be a vicious battle between the two sides.
Mrs. Bo shook her head with a smile, Tan Guide understood what she meant, there was no need for so many people without fighting, and immediately smiled: "Subtract half, 1,500 people... No, a thousand is enough. ”
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bo still shook her head...... The old man began to frown, no matter how few people there are, the weight will be too high when transporting gold, especially the mountain road: "In your opinion, how many people are suitable?" ”
"The fewer people, the better." Madame Bo thought for a while and gave a clear answer: "There are at most two hundred people who enter the mountain... Actually, a hundred people will do. ”
The old man was startled, his mouth moved but he didn't make a sound... Using a hundred people to transport tens of thousands of catties of gold, if it wasn't for Mrs. Bo going crazy, it was that she had a better way.
Sure enough, Madame Bo once again opened the bag that the puppy had sent, and this time she took out a brief map drawn on a parchment scroll...... The puppy she sent to track the demon was meticulous, and this time she not only completed the tracking, but also drew a sketch and found the easiest way to transport the gold out of the mountain: there was a water vein a few miles away from the gold store, and the water was so deep that it flowed rapidly, and it meandered all the way to the south, and finally it would go out of the mountain and merge into another larger water vein called the 'Jianjiang'.
Madame Bo's finger pressed on the map, slowly moving along the water veins in the mountain, and finally stopped somewhere before it joined the Jianjiang River: "This place has come out of the mountain, but it is still no man's land, the best... This is a shallow, open and vast, the water is no deeper than knees, and the old man sent a hundred brothers to follow me into the mountain, and another brigade of brothers to wait again. ”
The method that the puppy thought of was very simple, similar to picking wood in the mountains and borrowing water to transport, the difference was only that the gold was tied firmly with a net and tied to the wooden trunk.
As for whether a tree will be too heavy to tie a few hundred catties of gold, and whether it will press the big wood to sink to the bottom of the water, it doesn't matter, with the buoyancy of the trunk, even if it sinks underwater, it will not stay there, and it will be driven forward by the turbulent current, but it will not be seen from the water, which will be more appropriate and safer.
You must know that the deep mountains are barbaric and uninhabited, but there is a Yan army stationed at the foot of the south of the mountain, in case the dog Rong will smuggle in from the mountains and invade, the old demon has a powerful means, can buy the border guards, and ignore the little demon who transports gold into the mountain. The rebels did not have such ability, and Tan Guide took more than 1,000 people into the mountains to transport money to hide from the border defense, which was originally a matter of no choice and had to take risks, and this method is undoubtedly more appropriate now.
Tan Guide raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This is even better, the good son trained by Chang Tingwei is really capable and elite." ”
Mrs. Bo smiled with a smile in her eyes: "I said just now that the puppy brought back great news...... old words were brought up, and now, Tan Guide finally understood why Mrs. Bo was full of frustration after hearing the good news for the first time, the old man was stunned at first after trying to clear the customs, and then laughed and said: "Sure enough, if I were you, I would definitely be sad." ”
The old demon thought that he was hiding the gold land secretly, and did not send anyone to garrison it, and the robbery of Mrs. Silk became a shipment of goods, and there was no need to fight and kill; There are water veins in the deep mountains, and one or two hundred people can transport tens of thousands of catties of gold out of the mountains, and when the gold reaches the outside, it will be dispersed, hidden, and transported...... Things were much easier than originally imagined, and Xie Men's lackeys were barely enough to mobilize manpower by themselves, and they didn't need Tan Guide's help at all.
The great wealth that fell from the sky could have been swallowed by himself and became a big fat man in one bite, but the lackeys of Xie Men pulled Tan Gui in again, and he was given a piece of the pie, if Mrs. Silk was not depressed at all, she would really become a madman.
However, the two sides have already negotiated properly before, if they get rid of Tan Guide again, it will inevitably seem too unrighteous, not to mention that the surname Tan is so easy to fool, after this matter, the two sides have to turn their faces, whether it is a loss or a profit, it is difficult to say, so Mrs. Silk is annoyed and annoyed, and finally presents the truth.
Tan Guide smiled and said seriously: "Without our help, this transaction has been completed, and Mrs. Silk has done everything. But now... It doesn't hurt that Tan Guide starves to death by himself, but there are countless children under him, since they are with me, the old man can't watch them work so hard, please forgive me, madam, the old man really has to be cheeky to follow you to earn this money. I can clearly see the righteousness of Xie Men's lackeys, this gold is given to us by Mr. and Mrs. Bo, and if we are sent in the future, we will not hesitate. ”
The old handsome said beautiful words, Mrs. Silk smiled when she heard this, she had told the truth that things were done beautifully, so she didn't need to say anything more, just responded: "I'm just a woman, I have no knowledge, I don't have anything but when, I have always been in charge, I will do what I think, he wants to pick Jingtai's skin to avenge Lord Xie, I will help him ...... Therefore, as long as the person who wants to deal with the faint monarch is a friend of my family, to a friend, Xie Men's lackeys will never have the slightest reservation, that's it, if Zhen Guogong is polite, he will see the outside. ”
It's already late at night at the moment, and Tan Guide will arrange the next selection of manpower and preparation for departure, Mrs. Silk just needs to wait patiently, and after a few more gossips, Mrs. Silk retired and went to sleep...... Most of the gold robbery has been implemented, hundreds of thousands of taels of gold have almost fallen into her hands, Mrs. Silk is in a good mood, her head falls off the pillow and she quickly falls asleep, and her sleep is very sweet, but unexpectedly, when she wakes up and opens her eyes again, it is still dark outside.
A thousand years ago, there was no such thing as a 'biological clock', but Mrs. Silk has been the same for decades, unless there is something on the body, it is the same every day, and when you wake up about half an hour after dawn, it stands to reason that it should be bright.
Is this sleeping too short or too long? Mrs. Silk had some doubts in her heart, got up and got out of bed and came outside, only then did she understand that it was not her fault, and there was no difference between the time she got up today and usual, and the reason why it was dark was God's means: this morning it was eclipsed, the sun was gone, and it was naturally dark...... Although they are far away, they are still in the same world, the sky of Mrs. Silk is dark, and the sun is not visible above Song Yang's head.
At this moment, from the desert north to the southern wilderness, from the Great Yan East China Sea to the Western Regions of Tibet, the entire Middle-earth world is in chaos, and the clanging noise is earth-shattering, men, women and children have gongs to beat gongs, and those who have no gongs can at least shout and scream together, and the tengu runs out to steal the sun again, and everyone works together to scare it away no matter what.
At the risk of being captured by Wu Yiwei, Qi Shang also ran to help with a copper basin...... In Middle-earth, the eclipse is not a too peculiar scenery, but the sun in the broad daylight is engulfed a little bit, this scene is shocking, no matter how you look at it, it is not like a good thing, during which there are inevitably gods and witches who are alarmist and demagoguery, and over time, the image of eclipse has become a great omen. Everyone was a little flustered.
However, Song Yang is not so uncalm, he has suffered enough from 'superstition' in this life, and he himself is resolutely 'unwavering', not to mention that in the entire Middle-earth world, he is the only person who understands the matter of 'eclipsed'. Pointing to the dark sky where the sun should have been hanging, he said to his companions: "The sun is still there, but it is blocked by the moon. ”
Everyone was watching the wonders in the compound of the post house, and when Murong Xiaowan heard this, she tried her best to widen her little eyes: "Can the moon block the sun?" Are you kidding. ”
Song Yang picked up a branch casually, and had the intention to draw a 'sun, earth, moon' trajectory map on the ground, but after thinking about it, forget it, this kind of thing is an ordinary truth after a thousand years, but now, what an amazing fallacy and heresy, it is better to save the spirit as soon as possible.
Aigo looked up at the sky: "Last night's new moon, this morning's eclipse, maybe something is really going to happen, Ge Laozi, don't have to find us trouble." ”
Song Yang smiled: "There is a new moon that does not necessarily eclipse, but the eclipse will definitely be in the new moon, this truth will not be wrong, don't worry too much." ”
Ayigo looked disdainful: "Do you know what the baby outside the mountain knows, don't you know, the dog that swallows the head is raised by the witch Gu Niangniang, the dog is the most spiritual, and he will be restless before the earthquake, so he is disobedient and runs out to bite the head." ”
Ayigo's insight is really extraordinary, she even knows who the owner of the dog is, Song Yang blinked his eyes and was speechless.
Xie Zimiao turned his head and continued the topic that Song Yang had said first: "Can a small moon really block the sun?" ”
"As long as you choose the right location." Song Yang responded.
It's a pity that the national teacher is not there, if he is also in this courtyard, he may be interested in chatting with Song Yang. Last night, during the New Moon, the national teacher regarded himself as the moon, invisible but still pushing the galaxy, secretly dominating everything; In the eclipse this morning, Song Yang is not like this, it is insignificant compared to the sun, but as long as the position is chosen, it can still be suppressed...... One new moon, two demons. There is no hope of sympathy, only death.
