After buying grain, Xiao Qi carried the burden and went to several large-scale silver buildings in Jinling with Mu Ziqi - and sold the jewelry to them.

got a total of more than 8,000 taels of silver, and Xiao Qi collected all the silver tickets, and only the scattered part was silver.

Mu Ziqi: "Now Pengzhou City only needs two or three thousand taels of silver at most, are you sure that all these silver coins are used to open a pen and ink shop?" ”

"I like my aunt to say that when we open a shop and make money, we can open more shops, open a chain of large-scale stores, and then make more money and help more people."

Mu Zixi: "How can this kind of good thing be less than me, I will also invest a thousand taels to you, the supply of goods in the pen and ink shop in Pengzhou City does not seem to be very sufficient, it is better for you to buy a thousand taels of silver here, buy more cars, pull back to Pengzhou City, go back to find a good shop to clean up and open a business." ”

"Unexpectedly, Mu Gongzi is not only good-looking, but also extremely smart."

Mu Zichen accompanied Xiao Qi to buy a lot of things for opening a pen and ink shop, and spent more than a thousand taels.

Thinking that he was going to leave on the second day, Xiao Qi sighed when he had dinner: "The two banks of the Qinhuai River are really beautiful. ”

Mu Ziqi: "It's almost the New Year now, and the weather is colder, so it will be more beautiful in the summer." ”

"How do you know?"

Mu Ziqi: "I read it from the book. ”

"Actually, Mu Gongzi, you are quite smart."

"Everyone, get ready, early tomorrow morning, get up and set off at the first sound of the rooster's crow."

Xiao Qi: "The pearl of the night? ”

"Wait a minute, you will accompany me to return it to the prefect."

When Mu Ziqi went to the Yamen, the prefect had already returned to his residence.

Jiangfu was not far from the Yamen, and an officer and soldier took Mu Ziqi and Xiao Qi to Jiangfu.

When they entered, Governor Jiang instructed his subordinates to make tea.

"Governor Jiang doesn't have to bother, I'm here to return things." Mu Ziqi said and put the Night Pearl on the desk next to Jiang Zhifu.

Jiang Zhifu: "Let's have a cup of tea and then go, I let my subordinates soak the best Ming Qian Longjing." ”

Mu Ziqi: "I don't drink old tea, and the best Ming Qian Longjing will not come out in a few months." ”

Jiang Governor: "You-"

"If I ask my father to report the robbery, it is estimated that the imperial court will at least punish Lord Jiang for the crime of lax governance."

Governor Jiang pointed at Mu Zishan: "You, you just don't know what to do—"

"Don't worry, Lord Jiang, I won't say anything about the robbers, but I have the conditions, I will transport grain out of the city tomorrow, I hope it will go smoothly, as long as I arrive in Pengzhou City safely, I will forget about the robbers."

Not long after Mu Ziqi left, Wu Gui came over.

"My lord, I have inquired clearly, this time they have bought a total of more than 100,000 catties of food, do you want to stop them in the city tomorrow."

Governor Jiang waved his hand, "No need. ”

Wu Gui: "My lord, you don't have to be afraid of them, it's a big deal to kill them all." ”

Governor Jiang's eyes rolled, "Let them out of the city tomorrow, and then go to a place where no one is around, kill them all, remember to do it cleanly." ”

Wu Gui bowed, "My subordinates do things, don't worry." ”

"Rest assured what? The thirty or so people they escorted back weren't the ones you sent out. ”

Wu Gui: "My lord, I will definitely send more people this time to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

……

Xiao Qi and a few people got up at dawn and set off, a total of more than 30 cars, even several of Xiao Ming's subordinates came in handy, and they were all full of energy to catch the car.

Because of the lack of manpower, even Xiao Qi, Mu Ziqi and Ah Mo each drove a car, and hired a few people at a high price.

Xiao Qi felt that the one-eyed Xiao Ming and the Wang brothers were quite clever, Xiao Ming and the Wang brothers sneered, and they drove the first car to the front of the team.

When they reached the city gate, there was only a small caravan lined up in front of them.

Soon after the city gate was opened, Xiao Qiyi and his party went out of the city smoothly.

After walking for about two hours, they reached the wilderness where there was no village in front of them and no shops in the back.

Ahead they were greeted by dense trees.

Xiao Qi's ear power was amazing, and when he heard the rustling sound in the dense forest, he immediately stopped the car and said to the people behind: "Everyone stop first." ”

was suddenly called to stop, and everyone was curious.

Xiao Qi listened carefully for a while with his ears open, and said: "There may be a situation in the forest ahead, it is estimated that the number of enemies is not less than a hundred, and they still have bows and crossbows in their hands. ”

Xiao Ming's men jumped out of the carriage and were about to run away, when Xiao Ming yelled: "Grandson Turtle, do you want to run again?" Have you all forgotten what happened last time? In this troubled world, we must follow Deputy Liu to catch the head in order to survive. ”

In the end, Xiao Ming's subordinates did not escape, only the five people hired at a high price in Jinling City left everyone and fled.

Xiao Qi and Mu Ziqi glanced at each other.

Mu Ziqi: "The people who stay are all under the command of Deputy Liu, and when the enemy is solved this time, you can all do the hunt." ”

They stopped on the road for a while, but the people in the woods still did not move.

Xiao Qi pointed to the meat hanging out of the car and said to everyone: "It's not early, let's cook and eat first, stew all the dried horse meat, and the meat buns bought from Jinling in the morning are all hot, and you can work when you are full." ”

"Carry your weapons with you when you cook, and be ready to meet the enemy at any time."

A group of people were in a hurry to cook, and the smell spread far and wide.

Soon the meal was ready.

Xiao Qi: "Let's eat slowly, and then rest after eating, we are not in a hurry now." ”

The two-back basket wooden arrows prepared by Liu Dahe and Ah Fu for Xiao Qi are placed at the front.

Xiao Qi said to Mu Ziqi: "It is not very difficult to deal with more than a hundred people in the light, now we are in the light, they are in the dark, just wait for them to appear." ”

Amo: "Are these enough?" ”

Xiao Qi: "It's enough, there will be a lot left." The enemy was just over a hundred people. ”

This meal was eaten for more than an hour, and the people in the woods over there were already hungry when they smelled the fragrance, and they couldn't wait for anyone to wait.

A strong man said: "Lord Wu, let's rush out, there are more than 100 of us, and there are only about 30 of them." ”

Wu Gui: "Li Guangzhuo, don't worry, wait a while." ”

The strong man was very angry when he was called Li Guang, "Lord Wu, I'm a petty official, how can you give me a nickname at will?" ”

"Aren't you just a little general with no real power, you don't even have a name, what's the matter?"

The imperial court valued literature over military force, so civil officials looked down on military attachés a little.

After another half hour or so, no one came.

General Lee's men became more and more anxious.

General Li: "The brothers came here last night, and they haven't eaten yet, and they stayed up all night, so let's finish and go back to the city as soon as possible." ”

After waiting for a while, even Wu Gui couldn't stand it anymore, and said to the officers and soldiers: "Everyone rush over now, fight quickly, and you can go back to the city for dinner if it's over early." ”

When a group of people heard the word "eat", they all ran out of the forest with their weapons.

Xiao Qi: "Pay attention to the other party's bow and crossbow, everyone quickly grab their weapons and hide behind the car - I saw Wu Gui, so I hid behind this group of people, it seems that this group of people is from the Jinling official mansion." ”

Mu Ziqi shot the first arrow with a bow, and it shot directly at Wu Gui's big belly.

Wu Gui fell to the ground with an ouch.

Xiao Qi also fired three arrows at once, and soon the other party fell a large piece, but the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

In the end, there were more than 20 people left to pounce on him, and Xiao Qi picked up the whip of the car and threw it over.

The first whip broke General Lee's leg, and several other people who were hit by the whip either broke their arms or legs.

The men who followed them were all frightened away.
