"Boom".

Like a landslide, like a subsidence. The roaring sound exploded in Wu Nian's mind and lasted for a long time. He had always thought that the plague was a natural disaster.

Now I realize that I was too naïve.

If you think about it, there are traces to follow.

It is rumored that Huo Qu, the general of the Han Dynasty, fell ill and was sealed as a wolf, but died young. Some people believe that the Huns discarded the carcasses of cattle and sheep in the upper reaches of the stream, resulting in the breeding of bacteria, and Huo Quzhi died of illness after drinking water.

In wartime, it is even more common sense to bury corpses.

The ancients knew, and always knew that corpses could produce plagues. Therefore, the Meng Yuan people used this poisonous trick and sent the people of the Liu Family Fist to act.

Although the Mengyuan people were strong, they could not act in Liaodong at will. The Liujia Fist Sect was influential throughout Liaodong, and they moved around polluting water sources.

That's what caused the plague.

And.

Wu Nian and Zhang Jin both agreed that the Mengyuan people would definitely move south this autumn, and the offensive would be more fierce than in previous years.

First, use a plague that swept through Liaodong to reduce the population and strength of Liaodong, and then go south with a large-scale elite army to annex Liaodong in one fell swoop.

The Mengyuan people rose between the white water and the black mountains, and they talked about the respect of the strong. The slaughter of the city is also a frequent occurrence, not to mention the creation of a plague?

Wu Nian didn't think about it, but after listening to the middle-aged man's explanation, he felt that everything was a matter of course.

Wu Nian's eyes were rapidly bloodshot, his chest rose and fell violently, and his wheezing sound was like that of an old ox plowing the field, very urgent, murderous, earth-shattering.

Compared with this poisonous plan, what is it for the Meng Yuan people to bully an old man in front of the city gate?

How many people died in Fort North Hill?

Li Guanghan's family was only six people, and two died. In this Hou family set, it is even more eerie and terrifying. From south to north, his journey almost ran through the entire Liaodong.

Everywhere I went, there were only four words.

Devastation.

It turned out that this was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

Not only Wu Nian, but also Zhang Jin, Long Ji, and Chen Jiagui, who were next to him, were also stunned.

Zhang Jin is determined to fight Meng Yuanren to the end.

Long He has a grudge against the Mengyuan people, and the people who follow Long He have an enmity with the Mengyuan people to a greater or lesser extent.

They felt the same way, and immediately their eyes were blood-red, turning into a beast that wanted to choose people and devour.

The middle-aged man was startled, and immediately turned pale and drenched in cold sweat. With a grunt, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in fear, "Lord Wu." What the villain said was true, and he didn't dare to deceive Lord Wu. ”

Wu Nian's hands were released, and the middle-aged man fell to the ground. He bent down and coughed a few times before he raised his head and said, "Lord Wu." The villain couldn't stay long, so he took his leave. ”

With that, he hurriedly turned around and got on his horse, and left as if he had fled. These people are too fierce, too fierce.

Wu Nian and the others did not stop him and let him leave.

"Your Excellency. What are we going to do? Zhang Jin took a deep breath, opened a pair of bloodshot eyes, and looked at Wu Niandao.

"What else can I do? Blood debt and blood repayment. Now we are not worth mentioning compared with the Mengyuan people. But you can slaughter the Liu family's fist and slaughter all over the house. ”

Long Ji's voice was extremely hoarse, like the sound of sand and stone colliding.

"That's right." Wu Nian nodded heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "Blood debt and blood repayment." ”

When Wu Nian said this, he lowered his head and muttered for a long time before he raised his head and said: "It's just the Liu family's fist, not an idle person, to destroy them, we are short of manpower." ”

"Brother Chen. You take your two brothers and get on horseback. Go see General Wei Changqing. If he can't see him, he will go to see his daughter's guard. Wu Nian turned his head and said to Chen Jiagui, the monkey who was in the sky, and the heroic figure of Wei Xiang appeared in his mind.

Maybe it was fate that I met her at the right time.

"Yes."

Chen Jiagui immediately gave up his hand, and without saying a word, he greeted the two brothers, rode on a fast horse, brought some dry food, and left without dust.

"First dig out the 1,000 taels of silver in the land temple, and then we will go and fish out Zhang Shiping." Speaking of this, a grim smile appeared on the corner of Wu Nian's mouth.

"It is not enough to attack the Liu family with our manpower, but it is enough to attack the Zhang family. Besides. Mr. Zhang said his family was under control. But are the guards of the Zhang family all Mengyuan people? I don't think so. We took it by surprise and attacked it while it was unprepared. slaughtered that Qian Guangyuan first, and got angry. ”

"Yes."

Zhang Jin and Long are also neat and neat, without the slightest drag. Immediately, Long He was in charge of the periphery guard, and Wu Nian and Zhang Jin, together with more than a dozen people, found hoes and shovels, and entered the broken temple.

In the lobby of the Land Temple, there is a clay statue that only half of the section remains. In front of the statue, stone slabs are laid. Judging from the thick dust on the slate, no one would have expected that there was a thousand taels of silver buried underneath.

Including Wu Nian, everyone moved together and lifted the slate first.

The silver was not seen, the dust ate all over the belly, and there were a few fat mice, squeaking and squeezing around.

"Phew." Wu Nian opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of saliva, then brandished his hoe and began to dig in the dirt, and everyone dug about two meters deep before they saw a box.

It took a lot of effort to get the box up. Wu Nian looked at it and saw that it was unlocked, so he reached out and opened the lid, revealing countless large silver ingots neatly arranged.

Wu Nian covered the lid and worked with everyone to transport the box out of the broken temple and put it on the baggage cart. Holding the saddle with both hands, he turned over his horse vigorously and shouted, "Let's go." ”

"Drive!"

The people rode on horseback, walked on foot, and walked together to the eastern far city. There is a fire burning in their hearts, a fire that will not be extinguished until it burns away the dead branches and leaves.

Dongyuan City, Zhangfu.

Inside the study.

Zhang Shiping sat at his desk, writing account books. After writing, he first dried the ink, then put away the account book and handed it to Qian Guangyuan.

"Mr. Money. This is this month's account book, please take a look at it. ”

Zhang Shiping's attitude was quite respectful.

"Hmm."

Qian Guangyuan hummed, stretched out his hand to take the account book, came to the chair next to him and sat down, and watched it slowly, the more he looked at it, the more happy he became.

"It is worthy of Mr. Zhang, and he really has a hand in business. This month's profit has increased a bit from last month. ”

Qian Guangyuan raised his head, gave Zhang Shiping a thumbs up, and praised.

"Don't dare. It's all Mr. Qian's guidance. Zhang Shiping shook his head and said a little flatteringly.

"Huh." Qian Guangyuan smiled, quite proud, and continued to look down at the account books.

The Mongol Yuan attacked Liaodong every year, but both sides needed trade. The Mengyuan people's Haidongqing, Dongzhu, precious furs, Korean ginseng, etc., need to be exported in exchange for silver, or supplies.

In the past, part of the profits were eaten by big businessmen like Zhang Shiping.

Now Meng Yuanren went directly to the field, controlled Zhang Shiping, did not let any benefits, and accepted all the orders.

Qian Guangyuan quickly finished reading the account book, smiled and picked up the teacup on the coffee table next to him, took a sip of tea, and said comfortably: "What is the use of Haidongqing, Dongzhu, ginseng, and Korean ginseng?" ”

"Only the iron mines, grain, craftsmen, weapons, etc. in the south are the materials needed for the war."

"The people of Chu used these materials in exchange for things like Haidongqing and Dongzhu. How can you not fail? ”

"It won't be long. We will be able to capture Liaodong, and then break through Shanhaiguan and enter the capital of Chu. The day is not far off when we will enter the Central Plains. ”

Qian Guangyuan said that in the end, his face showed an almost sickly red light, and his voice was loud, and his expression was full of expectation and pride.

"You dog thief who has forgotten your ancestors." Zhang Shiping echoed, and scolded in his heart.
