Chapter 166: Treasure Hunt in the Secret Cave
Chapter 66 Treasure Hunt in the Secret Cave
According to the book "The Secret History of the Empire - On the Home of Emperor Hu Wei", the first thing Hu Wei did after killing Qi Yuanjie and Zhuang Jinxi was to take advantage of the fanaticism of the people to reorganize the army. The full-text and ad-free novels are all on Aishang Novel Network biquge.info which he has already calculated in his heart.
Hu Wei renamed the Immortal Bird Special Operations Regiment as the Immortal Bird Regiment and appointed Hou San as the regiment leader. The slave camp was renamed the Second Regiment of the Immortal Birds, with Harrison as the regimental soldier, and the Independent Regiment of the recruits was renamed the Third Regiment of the Immortal Birds, with Zhu Daneng as the commander. The three divisions were of equal rank, and all weapons, food, and grass were supplied by the military headquarters. The 50,000 soldiers of the blizzard were all disrupted by Hu Wei and divided into three divisions. The number of each division reached more than 15,000 people.
In addition, Hu Wei also appointed Hong as a military division, and at the same time set up an organization called the Military Committee, the head of this organization is Hong, and the nature of the organization is to control the military power of the commanders of each division to put it bluntly. However, this function did not immediately stand out at the beginning, and it was considered a backhand.
The members of this military committee are all Hu Wei's old subordinates. Link, Seedorf, Otto, Gama, Aguda and other people who had sworn to Hu Wei were all transferred from various units to the military committee, and Zhu Daneng and other three regiment commanders were of course also members of the committee.
Hu Youyou put all the members of the group that had followed him into the military council, but he did not succeed because Laray and Lildo were not in the army. In the roster of the military department, there are the names of these two people, but they are not seen. Hu Wei asked Hou San about them, and none of them knew the whereabouts of these two people.
The seizure of power has always been carried with **, and those who were loyal to Qi Yuanjie and Zhuang Jinxi were wiped out. Hu Wei wielded his broadsword and carried out the first purge of his military career, and nearly a thousand people fell under this power struggle.
Later historians called this behavior of Hu Wei shameless violence. However, at this time, Hu Wei couldn't care about this, and sometimes he had to pay the price of blood for the survival and development of the entire legion.
"Jebel, can you come here?" In the study, Hong beckoned to Jebel, signaling Jebel, who was guarding behind Hu Wei, to come to his side.
After Hu Wei mastered the Blizzard Legion, he once intended to let Zhebei be the head of the Immortal Bird Regiment, but this girl refused and insisted on returning to Hu Wei's side as a personal guard. Hu Wei had no choice but to agree to her request. Now Jebe is the commander of Hu You's internal guard battalion, with a thousand selected soldiers to protect Hu Wei's safety at close range.
Hu Wei's guard force was divided into two parts, the internal guard battalion and the guard battalion, with a total number of 5,000 people. This is the most elite unit of the Blizzard Legion. And the thousand people in Jebe's hands are the elite elite power. The other 4,000 men were in the hands of Kochis, the commander of the guard battalion, and their strength was also invisible.
Zhebei glanced at Hu Wei and made sure that there would be no problem with Hu Wei's safety, which made him move to Hong's side. In fact, with the defense force of the 5,000 people around Hu You, he doesn't need to be so close to him, but this girl is a stubborn temper, what kind of personal guards must be like this, Hu Wei has no way to take her, and can only let her.
Zhebei asked, "Sister Hong, do you have something to do with me?"
"Hmm" Red nodded, and smiled mysteriously: "You come with me, I have something for you." ”
"Okay. Jebel followed Red out of the tent and into Red's tent.
Walking into the tent, Red opened a box, took out a cloth bag, and handed it to Jebe: "Na, see if you like it." ”
I tried it with my hands, and it was soft when I pinched it, like a cloth or clothes, and Jebel asked curiously, "What is it?"
Red smiled: "You can just open it and take a look." ”
Jebel looked at Red suspiciously, and the cloth bag in Youli, she was also very curious about what Red wanted to give her. The cloth bag was tied with a bow in red, and as soon as Jebel pulled the long rope, the cloth bag opened, and a red satin belly pocket appeared in Jebe's hand.
"Sister Hong, this" Zhebei's face turned red instantly, she had seen this thing, but she had never used it.
Red said: "This is what I specially made for you." How's that, like it. ”
"But I'm a man, how can I wear this. "Jebel held that belly pocket like a piece of charcoal, and he felt hot no matter what.
Hong took Zhebe's hand and said with a smile: "Everyone is a woman, you can't fool me." Go and try it and see how it feels, you always tie it with strips of cloth, it's not good for your health. We women sometimes hurt ourselves a little more. ”
"Sister Hong, you know everything. Jebel bowed his head in embarrassment. Since she returned to Hu Wei's side, Hong has always taken great care of her, and she feels that she has deceived Hong, and she shouldn't be a little right.
"I've already guessed something at the first sight of you. Later, through Guò's observation, this guess was confirmed. Go and replace it first to see if it fits, and if it doesn't, I can help you make changes. You can wear it yourself, right?"
"Hmm. Jebe nodded, his delicate appearance was as pure as the girl next door, not at all like a soldier galloping on the battlefield.
After a while, Tebabe came out with a belly pocket, still holding a strip of cloth that was palm-wide and more than a meter long. She tried to hide the strip of cloth, but there was no place for it.
"Give it to me, you won't need it anymore. Red took the strip of cloth from Jebel's hand and asked, "How do you feel?" ”
Jebel blushed and said, "It feels quite comfortable, but it's a little weird." ”
Red comforted: "Wear it a few more times, you are used to it." I'll make a few more for you later, so you have to change. By the way, does Hu Wei know that you are a daughter?"
Jebe nodded and said, "General, he knows." ”
Red muttered, "I knew that bad guy must know." ”
"Huh?" Tebabe didn't hear what Red said, and looked at Red suspiciously.
Red shook his head and said, "Oh, nothing. I still have a dress there, would you like to try it?"
Zhebei was a little moved, thought about it, but still shook his head and said, "I still don't want it." Jebe was afraid that he would like the skirt, and after changing back to his daughter, he couldn't stay by Hu Wei's side.
"Whatever you want. If you want to try it sometimes, you can always come by. Come, let's sit down there and talk. ”
"General. Zhu Daneng walked into Hu Wei's military tent in a dusty manner.
Hu Wei put down his hand: "You're back, how is the bandit suppression this time, is it still smooth?"
Zhu Daneng shook his head and replied: "It's not too smooth, as soon as those bandits received the news, they all hid in Fangshan Town, and we only eliminated a bandit of less than two hundred people this time, and the material harvest was not very much." ”
"It's Fangshan Town again. Hu Wei's brows furrowed tightly. This Fangshan town is about a hundred miles away from Dongwang City, and belongs to the sphere of influence of Baohuai City, another large city in the northwest.
It is also a city in the northwest, and Baohuai City is much richer than Dongwang City. There are abundant iron ore reserves, and it is a famous iron capital in the northwest. The city lord Ma Zeben has 100,000 local garrisons in his hands and dominates one side.
This Ma Ze was an insatiable man, a man of good wine, lust, good money, all good things, he liked. The iron ore produced every year has been able to bring him very big benefits, but he is still not satisfied, and he is still secretly with bandits. Half of the bandits in the northwest are all in contact with Ma Zeben. As soon as Hu Wei sent troops to suppress the bandits, those bandits who received the news immediately hid out of Fangshan Town, where they ate, drank and had fun, and waited for Hu Wei to collect his troops before they came out to do their activities again.
"My lord, we have to find a way, and if we continue like this, we will soon be short of food again. Zhu Daneng reminded.
Now Dongwang City has just been withdrawn into the hands of Hu Wei, and all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, and the lives of more than 70,000 people in the city plus the army are all supported by the suppression of bandits. Those bandits scattered on the high slopes of the loess in the northwest are now the only lifeline for Hu Wei, and if they run away like this, the life of Dongwang City will be sad.
Of course, Hu Wei knows that surviving on the bandit economy is not a long-term solution, but this is the only way to achieve high returns. Other than that, a qiē takes time. Yu Luoya has already returned with the seeds of the Hundred Beast Grass, and it is still in the trial planting stage, and it is still unknown whether it can be successful. Even if it can be successful, if this cave Wang Cheng wants to raise horses again, it will not be in a short period of time, and the results will be immediate.
"The Mara Gobi forced the old soldiers to beat him. Hu scolded with hatred.
This is just an angry sentence, with Hu Wei's current strength, if he wants food or not, if he wants money or not, what can he do to fight with Ma Zeben, a rich man. The Imperial Capital now seems to have completely abandoned the Blizzard Legion. Until now, the supply of food and grass that should have been given has not arrived.
For this point, Hu Wei has always been puzzled. Supposedly, the Blizzard is also a regular legion, why did Valencia just leave it aside?
After Hu Wei killed Qi Yuanjie and Zhuang Jinxi, he was afraid that the emperor would ask about the matter, and specially prepared a set of statements and various ways to deal with it. But now it seems that it is not used in the same way. The imperial capital ignored this side of the matter, as if there was no such legion.
"It's a good idea, I heard that there are a lot of beautiful women there, so we just grabbed some of them back. Zhu Daneng listened to Hu Wei's angry words and laughed.
"Come on. Hu Wei said angrily: "We are almost out of food now, and you are still in the mood to be poor here." ”
Zhu Daneng knew that Hu Wei was not angry, and said with a smile: "Crying is also a day, laughing is also a day, life is not easy, let's laugh more if we can laugh." ”
Hu Wei nodded and said, "That's it." Alas, these days of no money and no food are really difficult. Zhu Daneng, isn't your family quite big, why don't you find a way to go back and borrow some money and food, and I'll pay it back to you when I'm good in the future. ”
Zhu Daneng's face suddenly became bitter, and he said with a wry smile: "My family is no, but it is still impossible to feed the 70,000 soldiers and civilians in this cave Wang City." Boss, you'd better find another way, don't make up your mind with me. ”
"Your son is an iron rooster. Hu Wei glared at Zhu Daneng angrily, and Hao lay on the table without an image and said, "Money, money, how can I get money." ”
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Hu You's mind, and Hu Wei suddenly stood up: "Jebe, Jebe, get ready, let's go out." ”
The red tent was next to Hu Wei's military tent, and Jebel, who was laughing with the red, heard Hu Wei's call and hurriedly ran in: "My lord, what's wrong, do you want to go out?"
Hu Wei said: "Yes, go and prepare, let's dig treasure." ”
"Digging treasure?" Jebel was just about to run out, when he suddenly felt that Hu Wei's words didn't seem right, turned his head, and looked at Hu Wei with a puzzled expression.
Zhu Daneng also wanted to know where Hu Wei's 'treasure' came from. This cave Wang Cheng is poor and white, how can there be any treasure, he can't be burned out by the heat.
Zhu Daneng and Zhebei were both waiting for Hu Wei's answer, but Hu Wei smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything. If Zhu Daneng is not there, Jebe can still use his woman's advantages to be coquettish and see if he can know in advance. Of course she wouldn't do that, she could only guess in her heart.
The three of them changed into civilian clothes and left the barracks and entered Dongwang City. After a while, under the leadership of Hu Wei, the three of them came to a house on East Street.
"My lord, whose house is this, is this the treasure you are talking about? It's not safe here, or I'll call some guards first." Jebel looked at the dilapidated house in front of him and frowned. She was very worried about Hu Wei walking out of the barracks so lightly.
Hu Wei patted Zhebei on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem." This is the tightly guarded house of the former Dong Wangcheng City. He had already left Dongwang City, and now the house was empty. Go get the door open and we'll go inside. ”
"My lord, I'd better come. Zhu Daneng interjected on the side.
"Okay, then you can do it. ”
Zhu Daneng got Hu You's words, took out a pair of wires from his clothes, and leaned in. I grabbed the big iron lock in front of the door, and with three stabs and two turns, I opened the lock. It was less than thirty seconds before and after.
"Isn't your craft good, have you done it before?" asked Hu Weixiao.
Zhu Daneng put away the wire and replied: "I am a law-abiding citizen, and this trick was taught to me by Hou San." ”
"So it's Hou San's son who is bad. Hu Wei laughed twice and said, "Let's go in and see what surprises we can have." ”
Strictly not opening this house, it is simply a proxy for the Qing officials. The room is quite large, but the furnishings are quite simple, just some daily tables and chairs, and there is nothing special about it. I haven't lived for a long time, there is a musty smell in the room, and a thick layer of dust falls on the tabletop.
"My lord, can there be any treasures here?" Jebel gently covered his nose and walked around the room. She couldn't see anything good here. There are really some good things, and when Yan Bu drove away, he also took them away.
Hu Wei took a wooden stick, knocked here, hit there, and didn't let go of the ground and wall, he had a feeling that this house would definitely show up. The reason why he didn't sweep with his ** eyes was because it was quite big, and his mental strength was not enough to support him to sweep the whole house. Second, he also enjoyed the treasure hunt.
"Look for it slowly, don't worry, there will always be something that should be there. Hu Weizheng said, the sound of his hand hitting the wall with a wooden stick sank, and there was a hollow sound.
"There are dark walls. Zhu Daneng leaned over from the other side. The wooden stick in his hand knocked Thursday on the wall and said, "This must be empty in the back." Let me open it up and see what's in the back. ”
Zhu Daneng is a quick temper, and he will violently break the wall when he speaks.
"No hurry, wait first. Hu Wei stopped Zhu Daneng and didn't let him come hard.
Hu Wei stopped Zhu Daneng and carefully observed the wall. The wall reached the top, without any cracks, and it didn't look like it could be opened with his bare hands, which was not what he imagined.
Hu Wei remembered very well that when Yan Bukai called his wife out, although he had been there for a long time, he did not hear the sound of stones colliding. In other words, the wife who is strict and does not open definitely does not come out of the wall, there should be an opening here.
Looking at it, Hu Wei's gaze moved from the wall to his feet. The secret of the house should be here.
"Get this bench out of the way. Hu Wei tapped the long chair at his feet with a wooden stick in his hand.
Jebel replied and stepped forward to move the chair: "My lord, this chair can't move, it's going to die." ”
Hu Wei's eyebrows jumped: "Left and right, come, I'll be with you." ”
There were two soft "clicks", and the chair turned left without moving, but there was movement when turning right. A hole in the ground about one meter in diameter appeared underneath the chair.
"This is it. Hu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them fell down and looked into the cave. I saw that the hole was on an inclined path, and it seemed that it should lead to the back of the wall.
It's dark in the cave, and you can't see far. Throwing a stone down, there was a muffled sound, as if there was a wind blowing from inside, and I reached in and touched it, and felt that it was covered with a thick layer of wood.
"Jebel, light a fire and take a look. Hu Wei shouted to Jebel.
"Oh, good. Jebel was called by Hu Wei before he came back to his senses. Secretly scolded himself for being a fool, he couldn't see clearly in such darkness, and he didn't want to light a fire.
"My lord, what do you think will happen behind this?" This fire fold is not as good as a flashlight, and you can't see much if you light it.
"If you can't get it to be a mountain of gold and silver, hehe, if that's the case, it's time for us.
Hu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "If it were those things, Yan Bukai would have taken them a long time ago, and I was still waiting for you to come." If I'm guessing correctly, this hole should lead to another courtyard, which is Yan Bu's real home. ”
Hu Wei was born in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes may not be able to do anything else, and the eyes are very poisonous. As soon as Yan Bukai's wife came out that day, Hu Wei knew that her wife was definitely not a person who was willing to live in such a dilapidated house.
Some women are born to endure hardship, and some women can't endure the slightest hardship, even if the situation forces them, they can't endure hardship. Yan Bukai's wife belongs to that kind of person, but she lives in this dilapidated house, which must be a problem.
"Let's go, let's go down and have a look"
