Chapter Forty-Four: Wei Wuxian's Plan
Feng Xian came to the camp early the next morning, and after the soldiers had counted the goods, he immediately went through the handover procedures with Wei Wuxian and towed away the twelve carriages.
What he didn't know was that Wei Wuxian had already absorbed all the sharp gold qi in those pig iron embryos last night, and even if he dragged it back, it would only be a pile of useless scrap iron.
Of course, this has nothing to do with him, as long as he gets the goods back completely, the nephew and young master of the Kyoto royal family is very generous, and he can go to the flower house in the town to eat and drink again on this trip.
20,000 catties of pig iron embryos can be refined into about 10,000 catties of wrought iron, 10,000 catties of wrought iron can be quenched into about 10 catties of refined iron, and about 30 flying swords of average quality can be refined.
Wei Wuxian came back from Qingyang Sect and thought about it carefully: with his Jiupin Dao Foundation, no matter how he went to that mountain gate, he couldn't enter the inner gate, and if he couldn't enter the inner gate, he wouldn't get the true inheritance, and he couldn't buy it in the Famenfang City on Jindan Avenue.
If there is no matter of the palace, he may still be thinking about the Qingyang Sect, and now that he has returned to the palace, his mother has been calculated to be sick in bed, and how can he be willing to give up with his heart; Yang Peng is Yu Dabiao's person, so he took advantage of the situation to behead Yang Peng Liwei yesterday.
Wei Wuxian remembered the situation that Ji Yun secretly said to him last night: the last time it was the caravan of the Kyoto Wangjia Dafeng that was intercepted by Commander Liu, and it didn't take long for the party Liu Tiegun to have an accident, and Ji Yun vaguely hinted that the three northern barbarians who rushed through the pass might have something to do with this matter, reminding him to be careful.
This is the second time Ji Yun has spoken for Liu Tiegun, ostensibly to repay Liu Tiegun for saving him back then, but in fact, he is expressing his willingness to follow Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian had intended to gradually cultivate forces in the Jade Bottle Pass, and Ji Yun was the original Liu Tiegun's cronies, and accepting Ji Yun was also equivalent to receiving the forces left by Liu Tiegun, so the two talked very happily, and Ji Yun gave him a list, which included the eighteen soldiers of Liu Tiegun's family and some information about Yu Dabiao.
At present, in addition to Yang Peng, who died, there are three captains of the Jade Bottle Guanwei who are Yu Dabiao's cronies, and among the other four captains, Song Zhe was newly promoted by Wei Wuxian and can also be regarded as his own people, and the remaining three are in a neutral state, which remains to be seen.
Wei Wuxian thought about it for a while, and asked the sentinels outside to notify Ji Yun, Song Zhe, and Shen Tao to come over.
At present, Yuhuaguan changes guards three times a day, these three people are a class, two of them are close to him, if you want to attack him, you will choose the time when the three people are on duty.
Song Zhe has been in the army for five years, and he has stayed in Yuhua Pass for three years, and he is too familiar with the situation here. He is cautious by nature, he has never stood in line for three years, and has remained neutral, who knows that he was promoted to captain by Wei Wuxian yesterday, and became the new commander in the eyes of others.
Shen Tao is in charge of a sword and shield team, and he has been in the army longer than Song Zhe and Ji Yun, so that he has good sword skills, and his skills are no worse than Yu Dabiao.
Therefore, he is unique in the Jade Bottle Pass and does not lean on any side. Wei Wuxian looked for him, without any burden in his heart, and went straight to the main tent.
Ji Yun knew what was going on today's summons, and he was very excited to know that Wei Wuxian had started to do it.
Song Zhe walked into the camp and found that in addition to Wei Wuxian, Ji Yun and Shen Tao were also there.
"Song Zhe is here, sit!"
Wei Wuxian smiled and pointed to the chair to the side.
"Master Xie. Song Zhe sat on half of his buttocks.
"What's the matter, now that I'm the captain, do my subordinates still listen to the command?"
"It's okay, it's okay..."
"If you don't understand anything, you can ask Ji Yun and Shen Tao for advice, they are both old captains and have a lot of experience. ”
"Definitely, definitely. Song Zhe said and arched his hand towards the other two.
"By the way, there will be a new person coming over tomorrow to fill the vacancy, you have to take it well. ”
"Yes, sir!"
Song Zhe knew in his heart that this meeting would never just ask these painless things, and he had been tightening the string in his heart since he came in, for fear that the new commander would come to remember the fierce medicine again.
Wei Wuxian's choice of Song Zhe as the captain at that time was not impulsive.
After nearly two months of observation, he found that Song Zhe's spear skills were good, he was quite prestigious in the team, and he was cautious in his work.
So immediately after beheading Yang Peng at that time, Song Zhe was appointed as the captain, but Song Zhe did not disappoint him, took the lead in checking the car, and broke the deadlock.
Song Zhe was forcibly brought in by him, and now he can't be allowed to remain neutral, and Wei Wuxian doesn't care about his caution after entering the account.
He turned his gaze to Ji Yun: "Ji Yun, you were there last time you rushed through the pass, what was the situation at that time, how did those three Northern Barbarians break your formation, and how was Commander Liu killed?"
Faced with Wei Wuxian's series of questions, Ji Yun said sadly and indignantly: "At that time, I led the team to patrol the city tower, Brother Peng's sword and shield team and Brother Jiang's spear team were below to check the passing merchants, and Commander Liu was in the official room on the second floor. Commander Liu heard the news, but died in a battle with Brother Peng and others. ”
"How long has it been since you sent a message from the wolf?"
"I let out wolf smoke as soon as possible, but we didn't see anyone come for a quarter of an hour, and later I learned that the people in the camp were temporarily transferred to Hulukou by Deputy Commander Yu, saying that they were collecting materials. Ji Yun said fiercely.
Wei Wuxian looked at Song Zhe and Shen Tao.
Song Zhe looked at Shen Tao on the side, lowered his posture, and waited for Shen Tao to speak first.
Shen Tao said: "At that time, Deputy Commander Yu said that a batch of substances, the personnel at the mouth of the gourd were nervous, and asked us to extract them by ourselves, and we only knew that something had happened to the jade bottle when we came back." ”
Song Zhe nodded on the side to agree with Shen Tao's statement.
Wei Wuxian knew that there was a car to deliver materials to Yuping Pass every month, there were hundreds of people here, and the daily consumption was not small, the military rations alone were more than 3,000 catties a month, plus other supplies, and three or four cars had to be taken on a trip.
The situation that Ji Yun said was obviously different from what he heard from Yu Dabiao, who concealed a lot of inside information.
Shen Tao and Song Zhe are both veterans, and Liu Tiegun and his cronies were almost all dead in the Chongguan incident, what does this mean, although they don't know the specific situation, they can roughly guess one or two.
The three of them thought that Wei Wuxian would continue to ask questions, but they didn't want Wei Wuxian to say: "Judging from the last incident, if you can respond early, maybe the result will be much better, so I plan to start emergency training for the people of this guard from tomorrow, the three of you are a class, let's start with you, do you have any opinions?"
The three of them were all slandered in their hearts, can they have an opinion on this? They all got up and expressed their obedience to the arrangement.
"Okay, then from tomorrow onwards, train for an hour every day. ”
The next day, the news that Wei Wuxian was going to train the Quanwei in batches was spread, Yu Dabiao was very unhappy, Wei Wuxian didn't greet him at all, and the news was still learned from his cronies.
If you are not happy, you will not be happy, and the officials will crush people to death. Besides, this newcomer Lord Wei let those people target him, and there are not many days to jump around.
