Chapter Forty-Three: The Breath of Sharp Gold
Wei Wuxian's words were like a thunderclap on the ground, not only the prince of the Dafeng, but also the sergeants of the Jade Bottle Pass were shocked.
The strong men who escorted the convoy pulled out their weapons one by one, nervously guarded, Yang Peng didn't know how to deal with this situation, and the other soldiers also looked at Wei Wuxian blankly, there were far more people on the other side than them, plus the captain Yang Peng was undecided, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
The scene was frozen for a moment, and the prince looked at Wei Wuxian with a sneer, very satisfied with the reaction of Yang Peng and the other soldiers.
A military attache who can't even command his subordinates is a scum in his eyes, and he can't even compare with his predecessor Liu Tiegun.
But his smile froze in the next moment, blood gushed out, and a large amount of blood splashed on his face and body.
Yang Peng's head fell to the ground, and he rolled down in a circle under everyone's gaze before stopping.
His eyes were still open, and there was a look of surprise in them, and he didn't understand what was happening until he died.
"Those who disobey military orders will be killed!" Wei Wuxian put his sword into the sheath and turned his head and said, "Song Zhe!"
"In!"
A sergeant hurriedly stepped out of the ranks.
"Now you're the captain of this team, start checking!"
"Yes!"
Song Zhena dared to disobey, and pointed at the other soldiers who were still in a dizzy state with a spear in his hand: "Check the caravan, and those who obstruct it will be charged with the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and there will be no forgiveness." After saying that, he took the lead and walked to the nearest carriage with his spear.
The other soldiers, despite their fears, stubbornly followed.
The other two people also came out of the door at this moment, and the ten crossbowmen led by Ji Yun were all wound up and lined up, and the ten sword and shield bearers were guarding the front.
The men guarding the carriage were a little flustered, although they were several times more numerous than the guards and guards, but no one really dared to make a move, looking at the prince on the horse.
Wang Gongzi wiped the blood on his face with his hand, Wei Wuxian's actions greatly surprised him, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and his right hand was raised, and the middle-aged Confucian stepped forward and whispered: "Childe, don't!"
Wang Gongzi said: "I know how to do it!" gritted his teeth and waved his hand to signal the escort man to disperse, and let the sergeant search.
After all, his reason defeated his impulse, and he did not give the order to resist, even if the goods were detained here, as long as he arrived at the mouth of the gourd, he would naturally have to return it like last time.
Soon, all twelve carriages were inspected.
Song Zhe ran over with the pig iron embryo seized from the car in his hand and said, "My lord, eight of the twelve cars have pig iron hidden in them, and I am afraid that there are about 20,000 catties." ”
Wei Wuxian had already sensed it with his divine sense, and he was not surprised, so he nodded and said, "All of them are seized and the camp is notified." ”
The prince and the middle-aged Confucian looked at them coldly, did not resist, and let the sergeant take the twelve carriages away.
At this moment, Yu Dabiao rushed over when he got the news, saw the headless corpse at the city gate and the twelve carriages taken away by the sergeants, and frowned and walked towards Wei Wuxian.
"My lord, why is that?"
"Deputy Commander Yu, are you referring to Yang Peng or those people and cars?"
"My lord, Yang Peng has made many achievements, even if he is wrong, he should report to the military for investigation, we have no right to kill his subordinates!"
"Oh, Deputy Commander Yu, could it be that the military regulations I read out last time are fake? Colluding with the enemy profiteers and openly disobeying military orders, I will not kill him, and let him collude with profiteers to fight against military orders!"
Yu Dabiao was choked back, and arched his hand: "Since my lord said so, I have no choice but to report to the authorities truthfully, and please don't blame me at that time." After speaking, he walked in the direction where the prince was.
Twelve carriages and more than 100 people were escorted to the camp, and people had already been sent to Hulukou, Wei Wuxian made a detailed record of the items that were banned this time, and they could be handed over after the people from Hulukou came over.
Ever since he killed Yang Peng, the people in the camp had become extremely cautious, and no one dared to delay the transmission of all his orders.
A team of people began to count the goods, twelve wagons of goods are quite a lot, in order to avoid mistakes, a group of people divided into two groups, alternately counted, it took an hour to count the goods of a carriage.
At this time, someone also came from the gourd mouth, and a commander named Feng Xian came with more than 100 of his subordinates to receive it, and the prince and the middle-aged Confucian Ding Hui smiled when they saw him, and after enduring a few hours, they could finally leave.
Feng Xian walked into Wei Wuxian's main tent, and the two sides greeted each other and said, "Brother Wei, you can hand them all over to me, it is not safe for so many people to stay here for a long time." ”
"No problem, this is the handover certificate, Commander Feng only needs to sign it and take it away. ”
Feng Xian took the voucher and glanced at it, frowned and said, "Why are there only people, those goods?"
"The goods are still being counted, if Commander Feng is willing to wait, he can stay here overnight, and he should be able to finish counting before noon tomorrow. ”
"Brother Wei, why don't you increase the number of people to count, presumably it can be completed before nightfall. ”
"This is already the extreme, and any more will affect the defense of the Jade Bottle Pass. ”
"I have more than 100 people here, and I can help my brother take care of the defense. ”
Wei Wuxian glanced at him and said, "If you are not in his position, you are not in charge, Commander Feng, you have crossed the line." ”
Feng Xian laughed: "Brother Wei, why should I take it seriously, I'll just say that, okay, I'll take the people away first, and then come over tomorrow to hand over the goods." ”
Wei Wuxian nodded and took the lead in going out to hand over the prisoners.
"Commander Feng, those goods?" Wang Gongzi said unhappily.
Feng Xian glanced at Wei Wuxian and said, "The goods are still being counted, and they will be handed over tomorrow, so you can go with me first." ”
Wang Gongzi was about to speak, but was stopped by the middle-aged Confucian Ding Hui, so he flicked his sleeves and followed Feng Xian's people out of the camp.
Out of the camp, Feng Xian flattered: "Don't worry, Childe, the goods will not be less than a penny, I will come over early tomorrow morning to handle the handover." ”
Then Wang Gongzi's face looked a little better: "You're tired, by the way, what's the origin of this guy, he doesn't even sell your face?"
"I don't know, but General Long personally sent someone to escort him. ”
"Steward Ding, with this guy here, our goods won't be able to get out of the Jade Bottle Pass, so why don't we have to take a detour of 100 miles to Jialan Pass?"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar Ding Hui showed a cold smile and said, "Childe, I'll contact that side later, just wait a few days." ”
That Feng Xian pretended not to hear anything on the side, how could he not understand the words of the two, from the moment he got the news, he knew that it would be this result.
As the saying goes, 'blocking people's wealth is like killing parents', how many people's interests are involved in the Jade Bottle Pass, he knows in his heart, the power behind this is too great, and the offender will be crushed into powder by its power.
In the camp, a group of people was still counting the goods, and Wei Wuxian walked to a carriage that had finished counting the pig iron embryos and took out one of the pig iron embryos.
The pig iron embryo is half a foot long, one and a half inches wide, and half an inch thick, and it is very heavy in the hand.
The main reason he intercepted the twelve carriages was because of these pig iron embryos.
The second product [Golden Spirit] can absorb the qi of sharp gold and store it in the body, and the qi of sharp gold comes from the golden iron vessel, and he doesn't know if there is anything in the pig iron embryo, so he plans to try it.
After a long time, a smile appeared on Wei Wuxian's face, and a trace of sharp gold qi thinner than a hair was drawn from the pig iron embryo in his hand, as expected, the pig iron embryo contained sharp gold qi, but the content was negligible.
However, there are 20,000 catties of pig iron embryos here, and if they are all extracted, they can also accumulate a large lump. Moreover, after these pig iron embryos are absorbed from the sharp gold qi, the weapons they refine are not much different from scrap iron, even if they are smuggled out from other places, it doesn't matter.
