The Birth of Tianjiao Chapter 18 Discovering the Treasure

The green notes walk over the pine forest, sometimes agitated, sometimes quiet, like two flexible strings, plucking the vast pine forest.

Zhu Cuixian was dressed in men's clothes, with a sword at her waist, standing quietly in the pine forest. The sound of falling pine trees can be faintly heard not far away.

The Ice Jade Fairy came to her side, "I have already detected the situation of King Shen Zhumo's army, a hundred miles away in the southeast, there are probably nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

Zhu Cuixian raised her eyebrows, "King Shen is determined to win this time, there are more than 5,000 soldiers and horses than I estimated, and he is not afraid of revealing the news, it seems that he wants to get the treasure, so he united with the Tatars and started an army." ”

"Twenty boxes of 'rolling mines' ready?" She then asked.

"The 'rolling mines' are ready, and there are fifty more bundles of poisoned smoke arrows." The Ice Jade Fairy replied.

"Well, the firearms of General Zhenwei's Mansion are very good, and the rumors are still above the current Shenji Battalion, so I have to guard against it!" Zhu Cuixian said softly,

"This place is only more than 100 miles from the Tatar border, and it is enough to transport treasure in the dark of night. Master, go to the designated place and lay an ambush. ”

In Li Tianba's handsome account, Chi Tianhai stood solemnly.

"Tomorrow we can finish cutting down the pine forests in this small area and explore the treasures, and the firearms battalion and cavalry battalion are ready."

"The soldiers are not expensive for a long time, tomorrow we will find the treasure, and we will get half of it, and we will immediately cover it by the firearms battalion, escape into Tatar, and then enter the customs from Datong, Shanxi, where we have already made a good greeting." Li Tianba said in a deep voice.

"If we do it on the spot and kill the beggars, the treasure will all belong to us, so why bother sharing the treasure with them?" Chi Tianhai asked in a deep voice.

"It doesn't have to be this way, we hide the gold, silver and jewels in the treasure in the special leather bags of the cavalry and take them away, so that they can drive the carts to attract the main forces of the other parties."

Li Tianba smiled slightly, "When the treasure changes hands from the beggar gang and they lose the fight, I will lead the firearms battalion to seize it." Neither did I break my oath! ”

He gently stroked a spear on the case, "My Nanba gun hasn't killed it for a long time!" He laughed.

The next morning, the pine trees in the treasure area had been cleared and sparse.

Li Tianba, Chi Tianhai, Qiao Wanyun, and Dugu Xiaotian took the treasure map and explored the past in the depths of the pine forest. The rest of the people were guarding the perimeter of the pine forest.

The four of them followed the general location of the map and came to a hillside. The red sky and the sea are low on the ground, listening to the sound of underground water flowing. "100 meters in front of the left, there is a dark river." Several people rushed to the front and found that there was a crack at the bottom of the slope, and there was a faint sound of gurgling water.

"When Emperor Yuan Shun fled here, there must be a garrison to follow, and the treasure must be hidden near the barracks, where there is a water source." Li Tianba said slowly.

Everyone patrolled around the underground river, Qiao Wanyun found a stone wall on the side of the hillside, he noticed something abnormal, and even beckoned everyone to come over. "There are artificial traces on this stone wall, it doesn't look like it was naturally generated!" Qiao Wanyun said in a deep voice.

Chi Tianhai picked up the meteor hammer in his hand, "You guys stand back and let me try." With that, he picked up his hammer and threw it at the stone wall.

There was a loud "boom", the stone wall shook, and the dust flew. Several large cracks appeared in the stone wall.

"Sure enough, it's a man-made stone wall." Chi Tianhai said excitedly. Then he fired three hammers in succession, blasting the entire stone wall.

A few people waited for a while, and Li Tianba crossed the Nanba gun in his hand, "I have a golden bell shield body, I can open the road in front, you follow me." With that, he used his spear to remove the gravel from the hole and walked in. Qiao Wanyun and Dugu Xiaotian lit the torches and followed behind, and the red sky and sea were broken.

A few people walked along the entrance of the cave for more than twenty steps and saw a natural cave. The cave is about a dozen zhang wide, and there are more than 60 large wooden boxes scattered horizontally and vertically, all of which are not locked.

Li Tianba walked to the front of the box and opened a box at random with the Nanba gun, only to see that the inside was shining with gold, and the box was full of gold.

"Emperor Yuan Shun fled in a hurry, it seems that he found a natural cave nearby, placed the gold jewelry of the army in the cave, covered it with stones, and fled in a panic." Li Tianba laughed when he saw the gold. These sixty or so boxes of gold jewelry are probably worth thirty or forty million taels of silver. ”

"How do you want to distribute it?" Li Tianba turned around and asked Qiao Wanyun and Dugu Xiaotian.

Qiao Wanyun discussed with Dugu Xiaotian, diamonds, pearls, agate and other rare items need to be sold into gold and silver, which is very troublesome. The gold bars are in hand for easy distribution.

Qiao Wanyun stepped forward and said, "Let's choose gold!" Other jewels, please accept the major general! ”

"Okay, the gold is left for you, and we'll bring all kinds of jewelry." Li Tianba replied briskly.

The four of them opened more than sixty treasure chests and took stock for a while. Divide the treasure chest into two piles, and the first pile on the left is a dozen treasure chests, all of which are all kinds of jewels and rare things. There are more than forty treasure chests on the right, full of gold.

"Chi Tianhai, laughing sky, beckon brothers to come in and carry it!" Li Tianba and Qiao Wanyun each commanded.

The Zhenwei General's Mansion and the beggars helped everyone enter the cave and loaded their respective treasure chests onto the cart. The two sides were accompanied by elite people, all of whom were silent, and in a moment they loaded the treasure chests onto the cart.

Li Tianba turned over and hugged his fist towards Qiao Wanyun and the others. "If you say goodbye today, I'm afraid it will be an enemy again, so you don't have to show mercy!"

After that, he led more than 200 cavalry from the Zhenwei General's Mansion and escorted ten carts to the southwest.

Qiao Wanyun beckoned the beggars to help everyone, loaded the treasure chest into twenty carts, and the rest waited for the horses to get on the horses, and the ones who took the carts went to the northwest.

Li Tianba led the cavalry to the southwest for two miles, and shouted: "Stop, put the jewels in the horse bag, put stones on the carriage, and abandon the cart!" ”

In a matter of moments, a hundred cavalry had put more than a dozen boxes of rare treasures into the large leather bags of the war horses. Another hundred horsemen loaded the chest with boulders, stabbed their horses with their swords a few times, and the carriage continued along the road.

"Take the mountain path and go straight to Zhangbei!" Li Tianba waved the Nanba gun in his hand and took the lead, and the horsemen followed with a bang.

More than ten carriages traveled five miles to the west, and suddenly a sentry of men and horses rushed out from both sides of the road, led by Ding Hualong, the general of Shencheng.

When he saw that there was no coachman in the carriage, his face changed. Running closer, with a wave of the halberd in his hand, a treasure chest immediately shattered, revealing the stones inside.

"If you want to run, it's not that easy! They brought gold, silver, and jewelry, and they would not be able to go quickly. Hussars, follow me! Ding Hualong led 800 light cavalry and chased along the Zhangbei path.

At a tea hour, Ding Hualong saw the figure of the cavalry on the path ahead.

"Left and right, charge with me, take them down, and the prince will definitely be rewarded." Ding Hualong shouted.
