Miao Yinger smiled and said: "Then it depends on the outcome of this transaction. Well, now that we have arrived outside the Peace Valley, I can tell you the mission this time. The first step is that we need to use twenty boxes of gold and silver treasures.
One hundred boxes of silk and satin are exchanged for Zhai's two thousand war horses. Brother Liu, this task will be left to you."
Liu Yu's expression changed: "What? Twenty boxes of gold and silver jewelry, a hundred boxes of silk and satin? Where are they?"
Miao Ying'er's eyes were filled with water, and she pointed at Liu Yu's feet: "It's for you to step on."
Liu Yu and others looked at the ground at the same time, and saw some pine branches stuck on the stones they were stepping on. They were completely different from the weeds growing between the cracks in the stones. They tried to kick them with their feet.
The stone actually rolled to the side, revealing a dark hole underneath.
Tan Pingzhi breathed a long sigh of relief: "No wonder Brother Miao brought us to this place. It turns out that you have already arranged it. But, how can we carry twenty boxes?"
Miao Ying'er smiled slightly, and patted a few times with her bare hands, two short and three long. She only heard a heavy sound coming from the entrance of the cave, as if it came from deep within the earth.
There was a sound, as if the iron door was turning.
Immediately afterwards, there was a gentle sound of clothes breaking in the wind, and forty or fifty people, all dressed in black, with strong and agile skills, emerged from the ground one after another, all with black scarves covering their faces, all dressed up, and with sticks on their backs.
The man with the long-handled sword was the leader. After seeing Miao Ying'er, his eyes sparkled: "Who is coming?"
Miao Ying'er showed a token in her hand. Liu Yu looked at it and saw a carved python and painted phoenix on the front, with a big word "thank you" written on it: "My surname is Miao. I have been ordered by Commander Xuan to collect the token left by the Xie family back then."
Something down there.”
The leading man immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "See my lord, hello brother Miao."
Miao Ying'er nodded, put away the token, and said in a deep voice: "You have worked hard here. Commander Xuan asked you to prepare the things. How is it now?"
The big man in black nodded and waved his hand, and dozens of people in black behind him jumped back into the cave. Soon, they brought back one hundred and twenty large boxes full of boxes. The big man in black opened one of them.
One, I saw a burst of jewels and glittering gold. It was filled with gold collars that were more than a foot long and four inches wide. In addition, there were silver nuggets of the same size, green emeralds, pearls strung in a line, etc., a rough calculation.
, each box is worth more than one million dollars!
Other smaller boxes were filled with piles of fine silk and satin, as smooth as water and embroidered with gold thread. Such gorgeous and precious silk was rarely seen even in Jingkou.
Liu Yu and the other three have never seen so much money and such fine silk in their lives. Their eyes were straightened. Wei Yongzhi's three hare lips moved: "Here, where did this much money and silk come from?"
The big man in black pulled off his face scarf, revealing a weather-beaten face in his forties, with thick eyebrows stained with ink, and two deep nasolabial wrinkles on both sides of his nose. They moved as he spoke: "Tian
Luo has been guarding these military pay here for twenty-nine years. Today, it can finally be returned to its original owner. Does Commander Xuan have any other instructions?"
Miao Ying'er smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, General Tian. You have been guarding these treasures for so many years. Commander Xuan is recruiting troops in Guangling now, preparing to form a large army to deal with the Qin captives. I wonder if General Tian intends to go?"
Tian Luo laughed: "Is Marshal Xuan finally going to send troops? Great, I, Tian Luo, finally have a chance to take revenge." At this point, he glanced at Liu Yu and the other three, nodded and smiled, "Qiang
There are no weak soldiers under the general, these are all top-notch warriors, seeing them reminds me of our march south."
Tan Pingzhi suddenly said: "Senior, is this the great hero Tian Luo from Xihe County in Bingzhou?"
Tian Luo was slightly startled, then turned to look at Tan Pingzhi: "This little brother, do you actually know me?"
A hint of reverence flashed across Tan Pingzhi's face: "Of course, the hero Tian Luo of Xihe is eager for justice and justice. When Ran Min started the uprising, you were so close to each other that you killed Hugou in fear. Even today, we in Shandong
There are still legends about you circulating in the area."
A trace of emotion flashed across Tian Luo's face: "I didn't expect that after thirty years, someone would still remember me, Tian Luo. It's a pity that Ran Min was not able to accomplish anything and was defeated and died. But we, the old brothers from back then,
No matter how dead or scattered, I don’t know how many people are still alive.”
Wei Yongzhi also smiled and said: "Master Tian, where have you been for so many years? How come I haven't heard from you? Are you just here to guard military pay?"
Tian Luo nodded: "Yes, when Ran Min was defeated, we were trapped in Yecheng, with all our weapons and food supplies. We thought we were going to die, but General Xie Shang sent a strong man to save us, so we made an oath at that time,
We must be loyal to the Xie family and the Jin Dynasty. However, Huan Wen was in power back then, and the Xie family did not want us to be used by Huan Wen, so they asked us to guard the military pay left by Ran Min here, saying that we would use it when the Northern Expedition came again.
.I didn’t expect that it would take thirty years.”
Liu Yu finally understood, and he sighed: "Ran Min was originally regarded as the savior of the northern Han people. Killing Hu Ling, I don't know how many Han family members have revenge, and they have complained about decades of humiliation.
I hope, but I didn't expect that he was obsessed with power. After taking advantage of the Han people, he showed favor to the Hu people again and stopped working on production. In the end, he degenerated into robbing the Han people's forts and even used the Han girls in the Shihu Palace as military rations.
How can he be undefeated if he behaves so perversely, loses all conscience, proclaims himself emperor, and cuts off ties with the Jin Dynasty?"
Tian Luo sighed: "Little brother, although you are young, you are so knowledgeable. You are really far better than I was back then. Yes, Ran Min started his career by killing Hu people, but in the end he still used Hu people. Let me wait.
Heartbroken, the old brothers walked away and dispersed. When he was at his peak, he had an army of more than 300,000, but in the end only a few thousand followed him. This was the result of his own doing. His death was not a pity, but a pity.
I, the Han people in the north, have once again experienced a catastrophe, and I don’t know how long it will take to wait for Master Wang again.”
Having said this, a smile appeared at the corner of Tian Luo's mouth: "But it's not too late now. Although I am old, but Xuan Shuai has young people like you, I believe that the Northern Expedition will be successful."
Having said this, Tian Luo looked at Miao Ying'er: "Brother Miao, do you need us to transport these treasures back to Guangling in big cars now? We live nearby and live together with those Dingling people, some of whom have big cars."
Miao Ying'er shook her head: "No, this treasure is not transported back to Guangling City, but is used for other purposes. General Tian, please help me load these treasures into the car. Tonight, we are going to meet Ding Ling."
Make a deal."
Having said this, Miao Ying'er looked at Tan Pingzhi: "Brother Tan, please go to the Zhai Department and tell the Xie family to pick up the promised war horse!" A light flashed in her eyes, and she finally looked at Liu Yu:
"Brother Liu, today's negotiation depends on you!"
