Chapter 231: A Major Discovery
"We are willing to follow the general, and we will die before resting."
Everyone kowtowed solemnly before they got up.
Yuan Bao'er was stunned, "You,"
Everyone smiled and stood up in a proper manner, "My lord, since we can't go to the city, where are we going next?" ”
Yuan Bao'er smiled, "Naturally, this is the place to go." ”
She led the people to turn their horses' heads and go northwest.
The crowd didn't ask, but mounted their horses and followed closely.
Yuan Bao'er led them to ambush on the slope next to the dense forest, and in less than half an hour, a team of horses crossed through the dense forest.
Yuan Bao'er pulled out the horizontal knife and said lightly, "If anyone resists, don't be killed." ”
Everyone looked at each other and nodded heavily.
The horse team was still walking forward without realizing it, Yuan Bao'er was cat-waisted, staring at the person at the front of the horse team, measuring the distance, and when the leader approached, she rushed out with an arrow step.
The guards still did this for the first time, and they were stunned for a moment before they reacted.
The crowd rushed down with an indomitable momentum.
The leader of the horse team fought back while shouting nonsense about the defense of the crowd.
Yuan Bao'er reacted quickly, slashed at him with a knife, and ripped him off the horse with his backhand, and the sharp blade was on his neck.
"Put down your knives, or I'll kill him," she said angrily.
The guards were engaged in a battle with the guards, and instead of letting go, they attacked even more frantically.
Yuan Baoer cursed, knocked the leader unconscious with her backhand, and joined the battle.
She has a lot of strength and skill, basically one knife at a time.
With such a descending tiger as her, the guards were no match at all, and they were quickly cleaned up to only a few remnants.
After cleaning up, Yuan Baoer moved the blade and smiled slightly, "Children, go and see the goods." ”
The guards opened one of the boxes on the train and looked at the boxes full of silver, stunned.
"Look."
He was stupid with two ingots of silver.
Yuan Bao'er didn't even look at it, "Look at something else." ”
The man opened the other one, and it contained ginseng.
He looked at it carefully for a while, "It seems to be fifty years." ”
He held the box up and showed it to Yuan Bao'er.
Yuan Baoer was very pleased, this kid really remembered it by heart, and the year was right. “
"Big, brother," another person in the back car shouted, holding a black stone, "Look at this." ”
Yuan Bao'er measured it for a while, her face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and she turned around and kicked the leader awake.
Seeing a corpse, the team leader knew that things had not turned around, and immediately closed his eyes and waited for death.
"Where are you going to send this thing?"
Yuan Baoer asked.
The team leader gritted his teeth and refused to speak, Yuan Baoer smiled and stabbed the knife into the leader's chest with his backhand.
Seeing this, the guards immediately beheaded the captives.
Yuan Bao'er stretched her face and asked the guards to pack up all the stones on the car, put them on the back of the horse, and return to the barracks with their horses.
Because I was walking, the pace was much slower.
He did not return to the barracks until dawn.
Zhou Changjiang didn't sleep all night, and he was relieved to see that she finally came back.
"I'm fine," she said, tearing off the bag from her horse and carrying it easily into the tent.
"What's this," Zhou Changjiang knew Yuan Bao'er's plan, and thought that it was silver, so he went to carry it, but he was taken aback by the weight.
The guards didn't know what it was, but seeing Yuan Bao'er's face so ugly, they knew that it must be very serious.
Zhou Changjiang opened the bag, only glanced at it, and his face darkened.
"These dogs are miscellaneous, straight thieves, they dare to sell iron ore," he glared at his guards, "what about those people, Lao Tzu is going to slaughter them." ”
"No," he said with his nearest personal guard, "Your Excellency is done." ”
Zhou Changjiang Kaba glanced twice, "Killed?" ”
The guard nodded.
"Good girl," Zhou Changjiang's voice was more than half lower, "The temper of the adult, tsk, is the appetite." ”
He shook his head and left, and the guards finally knew why Yuan Bao'er made a decision at that time.
According to the law, iron ore was controlled by the imperial court and could not be bought or sold by ordinary people.
This is a prohibition, and those who violate it will be punished by the Nine Clans.
So whoever does this is basically an outlaw with his head tied to his belt.
So after seeing the ore, Yuan Bao'er was so happy to extinguish her mouth.
Zhou Changjiang entered the big tent and saw Yuan Bao'er staring at the ores in a daze.
Zhou Changjiang said, "My lord, don't worry about how to settle it, we have a blacksmith in the army, let him smelt it." ”
"No hurry," Yuan Bao'er glanced at him and motioned for him to sit down.
"I have an idea," she said.
As soon as Zhou Changjiang sat down, he jumped up.
"What do you want me to do?"
Yuan Bao'er rolled her eyes, "I didn't want you to do anything, I just wanted to use this batch of iron ore to transfer the people behind me, so this thing can't be moved for the time being." ”
"How?"
Zhou Changjiang is an out-and-out soldier, although he is already a general, but his thinking is straight, and he only appears to be clever when thinking about battle formations and combat strategies on weekdays.
Yuan Bao'er pulled him to him and whispered.
Zhou Changjiang hesitated, "But what should I do here?" ”
"You help me watch," Yuan Bao'er smiled.
Zhou Changjiang had a bitter face, "I can't handle it." ”
"Plus the quartermaster," Yuan Bao'er said, "He is good at trivial matters, if someone comes to report something, you receive it, let him deal with it, during this period, you are still traveling at the usual speed, I will come back as soon as possible." ”
Zhou Changjiang was still unwilling, but Yuan Bao'er had already picked up a piece of iron ore and went out.
The guards were still stunned when they saw her walking away quickly, Zhou Changjiang had already called them in, "The marshal has something to leave, from this moment on, you have been guarding here with me, and no one can find her leaving." ”
"Adults walking alone?"
Zhou Changjiang nodded, very serious, "What the adults are going to do next is very important, and the news must not be leaked." ”
Everyone nodded hurriedly and said that they would assist him in completing the task.
Zhou Changjiang's expression eased slightly, and he ordered someone to call the quartermaster.
The two of them discussed in the tent for a while, and then went their separate ways.
The generals and soldiers outside were still unknown, so they saw that the guards were training in the big tent in the morning and went to the horse farm for training in the afternoon, and thought it was as usual.
And in the city not far away, an arrogant boy stayed in a luxurious guest house.
The kid was very arrogant, and his shot was a whole ingot of silver, and when it was spent, he didn't even blink an eye for a hundred or ten taels.
The shopkeeper saw that the big customer came, and he was busy supporting him personally.
But even so, the kid was not satisfied, but fortunately, he spent money lavishly and was extraordinarily generous when rewarding.
The shopkeeper endured it.
In a flash, there was no money when the boy met the account. He fumbled for a long time and found a black bump, "This is for you." ”
"Boy, you're kidding me?"
Although there was money to be made, the shopkeeper and the guy had been holding back, and seeing that he didn't have enough money, they turned their faces at the moment.
"This is very valuable, you don't know the goods," the boy huffed and wanted to put it in his pocket.
