At Baihu Mansion, Zhang Gui looked ugly. All the people who sent to intercept the Ma army were dead. When he received the news and sent someone to Majia Village, the Ma army had already run away.

"Master, the people from Majia Village said that someone saved Ma Jun halfway..."

"Who is that person? Have you found out?"

"The man wore a hat, and no one saw his appearance."

"Waste, a bunch of waste."

Looking at the confidant in front of him, Zhang Gui cursed, "Why don't you send someone to find him quickly. Even if you turn the entire Hekou Fort into the sky, you will still find the Ma Army."

Zhang Gui knew the terribleness of the Ma Army. He heard that this guy used to be the one who was in the army, and was best at night attacks and assassination. He didn't want to sleep in the future.

"Master, we have sent someone to ask. Someone saw Ma Jun bringing people out of the wall, and probably went to surrender..."

"Is this news sure?"

"Many people saw it, and many people followed him."

Zhang Wu hesitated for a while and told the truth. More than 20 young and strong people ran away with the Ma Jun in the five villages below.

Zhang Gui's face looked even more ugly. The impulsive Ma Jun did not come to seek revenge on him, but instead pulled someone to run outside the wall, which was beyond his expectations.

...

Outside the Hekou Fort, ten miles away from the walls, more than twenty young and strong men from the Hekou Fort looked at the horse army leading them to the desolate river valleys. Many of them showed suspicion and even a little uneasy.

"Brother, what are we doing here?" Someone asked among the five young and strong men who chose to follow Ma Jun in Majia Village.

"Wait for someone." Ma Jun knew that at this moment, he had to say something, otherwise the team that he had finally started would disperse. "Zhang Gui sent someone to intercept me. If someone hadn't saved me, I would have died long ago. The one who saved me was not someone else, but the son of Gao Ye."

"Zhang Gui said that Gao Ye colluded with horse thieves and was a lie. In fact, he colluded with horse thieves and murdered Gao Ye. Now what is going on in the fortress? Everyone has seen it. If Zhang Gui is not dead, we will be skinned by him sooner or later..."

After listening to Ma Jun's words, everyone realized that Ma Jun took them out of the wall, not to become a bandit, but to meet up with Gao Ye's son and then deal with Zhang Gui.

Thinking of Gao Chong's reputation in his past, the young and strong men were excited. When they thought, I was a hero and a hero, and that Gao Jin thought it was not much different. If they could follow this young man, it would be a waste of them to leave the fortress and join him.

So everyone did not speak out anymore and all followed the Ma Jun honestly. Not long after, they arrived at the place where the Ma Jun mentioned, where several tents had already been set up and groups of young men.

In the young man, Wang Dou saw Ma Jun coming as promised and went forward and said, "Uncle Ma, the second brother has given instructions. After you arrive, you will be the one who decides here!"

When the Ma Army was old, Wang Dou and the others had more than a round, let alone the bravery of the Ma Army. The young men knew that this was the only powerful figure who could fight with Uncle Gao back and forth.

"When will Gao Erlang be back?" Ma Jun asked Wang Dou. If it weren't for his life being saved by Gao Jin, he would have gone to Zhang Gui to fight to the death.

"My second brother went to Gubei Village to do business and said he would come back after finishing it." Wang Dou replied. Three days ago, after he buried his father, he came to this stronghold. Among his partners who had bloodshed as the alliance that day, all of them were in the fortress.

"By the way, Uncle Ma, my second brother said, if you arrive, please help me train everyone."

Among the group, only the horse army went to the battlefield and knew what the war was going on. Gao Jin wanted to ambush Zhang Gui outside the frontier, and it was not enough to rely on his bravery, so he specially ordered Wang Dou to ask the horse army to train them.

"Your second brother is pretty." Ma Jun thought of Gao Jin, who was calm and not like a young man, and couldn't help but say, then looked at the young and strong people who followed him, and understood that Gao Jin was right. These people were not easy to practice, and they were afraid that they would be useless when they went to the battlefield.

...

"Do you think you are very powerful? How many enemies can you defeat by yourself?"

On the mudflats next to the river valley, the horse army shouted loudly and scolded Wang Dou. In the past two days, he just taught Wang Dou and others how to line up and rely on their comrades around him to kill the enemy.

These young men from Zhejiang military strategists have good martial arts skills, but they all like to be heroes. They like to fight alone and are unwilling to cooperate with the people around them to kill the enemy.

"You fight on the battlefield, and you have no companions to cover up your influence. If the enemy comes from all directions, you will be dead long ago."

"Uncle Ma said it well."

Just when Wang Dou and the young men were still a little dissatisfied, a familiar voice sounded. They looked in surprise and saw Gao Jin getting off the horse at the mouth of the river valley and walking over.

"Uncle Ma, thank you for your hard work."

Gao Jin first said to the Ma Jun that the Ma Jun was several years younger than his father. Although he remembered that the Ma Jun had challenged his father several times, his father always admired the Ma Jun and said that the Ma Jun was the only decent official army in the Hekou Fort military households.

"If you don't come back, I'll go find you." Ma Jun's face was full of impatient expression, "When will we go to kill that dog thief Zhang Gui?"

"It's almost done." Gao Jin knew that Ma Jun had a bad temper and was able to help him train Wang Dou and others in this valley, which was already giving his life-saving benefactor face.

"Let's go in and talk." Gao Jin pulled Ma Jun into the tent, and accompanied Mulan and Wang Dou, a few familiar friends.

Gao Jin couldn't trust the young and strong people brought by the Ma Jun. These people were bachelors who were not burdened by their families. They could not keep secrets, and only the Ma Jun could control them.

Gao Jin told all the news he had inquired from Gubei Village, "I guess it won't take long before Zhang Gui will lead his troops to patrol the border and go out of the customs to trade with the Mongolians. That's our chance to start."

"We don't have enough staff!"

"I know, so I'm going to ask someone for help."

Gao Jin said in a deep voice that Zhang Gui's official army had more than fifty people, and with the servants in his mansion, the number was greater than that of them, not to mention that Zhang Gui and Li Da's group of horse thieves were available.

"Where are you going to find someone to help?"

Ma Jun was a little surprised. He couldn't imagine where Gao Jin could recruit people. Could it be that he went to Gubei Village to hire outlaws?

"Sud of the Aji tribe of the Tartars had an agreement with my father." Gao Jin said the hatred between Risud and Ulihan of the Aji tribe, "I am sure to convince him to help us."

"I don't understand what you said, but since you say you are sure, I believe you." Ma Jun looked at Gao Jin with a confident face and chose to believe Gao Jin.

"Yes, let's listen to the second brother." Wang Dou and the boys also said quickly. They wanted to take revenge, but they couldn't think so carefully. Gao Jin had a plan, so it would be better.

"Since that's the case, I will assign tasks to everyone. You need to obey my orders and never act without authorization." Gao Jin looked at the Ma Jun Wang Dou and the others. He had to go there in person, and others might not be able to touch the old fox.

The Ma Jun did not object, and even more so Wang Dou and the others would not. Looking at the silent people, Gao Jin told him about his arrangements, "Wang Dou, where is the Fortress, you must continue to contact Chen Sheng. You must know any news about the Baihu Mansion."

"Uncle Ma, after I leave, you will lead the team. As long as Zhang Gui gets out of the wall, you will dress up as a caravan and follow him, but be careful not to be discovered by him."

...

After the discussion, Gao Jin had just walked out of the camp, but Mulan pulled him aside, "Young Master, we don't have much money anymore."

Mulan was responsible for purchasing the tents and grain in the river valley. The pack of silver that Wei Lianhai gave her on that day was only a hundred taels, which sounded a lot, but when she was really using it, she realized that the money was like running water.

"If you have money, I will find a way to solve it." Gao Jin knew that Mulan had worked hard for a while. At present, Mulan was in charge of food, drinking, defecation and sensation. He had to prepare weapons and armor if he wanted to fight with Zhang Gui and the others. It was okay for Wang Dou and the others to bring their own weapons, but the young and strong people brought by the horse army were gone.

Mulan couldn't think of any way Gao Jin could get money unless they also learned from those horse thieves to rob the caravan.

"Okay, I really have a way. You can go with me to withdraw money tonight." Gao Jin looked at Mulan with a worried look and lowered his voice, "Do you still remember our old house outside the fortress? There is Tibetan silver there."

The old house of Gao's family is outside the fortress, next to his own hundred acres of land. However, Gao Jin couldn't live in that old house when he was a child, and the fields were also handed over to the tenants to take care of. Although he didn't know how much Tibetan silver there was, Gao Jin probably wouldn't be less, which should be enough to support the team's expenses.

...

In the middle of the night, Gao Jin and Mulan quietly left the hiding valley and headed towards the Gao family's old house.

"Young master, you haven't told me yet, how do you know where those hidden silver are?" When we were almost at the old Gao family's house, Mulan finally couldn't help asking. Nowadays, the wealthy families have the tradition of hiding gold and silver, and they hide it very secretly.

"Do you still remember when you were a child, we went back to the old house to worship our ancestors..." Gao Jin remembered that once his father hugged him, who was only four or five years old, and told the story of Tibetan silver under the old locust tree. If the memories in his mind had not been resurrected recently, he would have really not remembered this.

"Dig!"

After arriving at the old house of Gao, Gao Jin did not stop and took Mulan directly under the old locust tree, and then digged in the direction of the old house with the canopy.

Gao Jin dug more than three feet deep before digging out the wooden box. After opening it, he found that there were silver ingots that were cast by privately. He weighed the portions, at least two hundred taels of base, and there was a stack of gold leaves at the bottom. He didn't know how his grandfather saved so many possessions.

"Mulan, look, is it enough?"

"Enough, enough."

Looking at the open box, Mulan's eyes bent, and she only saw that the money she was in her hands was used up recently. This was the first time she had earned money.

"Mulan, don't be afraid of spending money. Only when money is circulated can it be considered real wealth."

Gao Jin looked at Mulan holding Muzi and looked like a miser in her wealth, and said to her that there are still many places to spend money next, so you can't be too careful.

"knew."

Mulan responded. She knew Gao Jin was right, but she still felt that she had to save the places she should be saved.
