"Boy, let's see where you go this time!"
A few sand bandits came around close to the low wall. In such a narrow place, they could no longer use their bows, so the sand bandits rushed towards them with a grinning grin holding their knives.
"Qingyu~~" A long howl came in the cold dawn air, which revived Ling Qingyu's spirit and shouted loudly: "Yan San! I'm here!"
Meng Su had already fought the sand bandits, and there was not much space inside the low wall. He was a little helpless trying to protect Ling Qingyu behind him, and immediately licked a few more wounds on his body.
In the dawn light, two figures flew over along the sandy ground, and the one in front floated over like blue smoke.
The blue shadow floated directly into the low wall, and the sword light flashed, and the bandits who were proud of themselves had their necks cut off one after another, and their bodies fell to the ground with a shocked expression on their faces.
The other shadow was approaching the sand bandits who were riding their horses up the hill, followed by a group of dusty cavalry.
Without even looking at the Sand Bandits, Yan San grabbed Ling Qingyu's arm, looked her up and down, and saw that there was no wound on her body, so Fang hugged her tightly, trembling slightly and speechless.
At the beginning of the sandstorm, Yan San avoided the horses, but was buried in the sand by the sandstorm. When he got out of the sand, the sky was covered with dust and he couldn't see anything. Finally, when the sandstorm passed, people gathered on the sand Together, they found that many people were missing, including Meng Su and Ling Qingyu.
They searched all night, and found most of the lost horses and cattle on the way, but they didn't see Ling Qingyu and Meng Su until they encountered soldiers who had been blown to the Dangxiang side and captured the lost horses. He said that he saw Ling Qingyu's cloak on the road. The cloak was full of knife marks and bloodstained. The place where he found the cloak seemed to be a bandit camp. They also followed the traces of the bandits, so they gathered together to find this place.
When he got the cloak, Yan San was going crazy. Seeing the person standing there intact, Yan San seemed to be still in a dream. Afraid that it wasn't real, he asked, "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine, Yan San, go and see Meng Su," Ling Qingyu said.
Yan San turned his head and saw Meng Su smiling reassuringly at Ling Qingyu, then fell headfirst, reaching out to support his body.
After hastily scanning the wounds on Meng Su's body, Yan San first took out a pill and stuffed it in his mouth. In view of the fact that they were getting injured more and more frequently, Shi Fang developed a life-saving pill.
It took a moment for thousands of cavalry to face dozens of sand bandits, not to mention Ying Shisan who opened the way first.
Meng Su was seriously injured, Du Ming put him on his horse, and told the team to go back to the cottage first, while Shi Fang was still playing in Du Ming's cottage.
On the way, Ling Qingyu told Yan San about her experience in a low voice, and then honestly confessed that the snake pill broke out, and that she ruined the sin of a good man.
Yan San glanced at Meng Su with mixed emotions, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, men don't care about things like this."
The few of them galloped back to the cottage first, and Meng Su was quickly sent to Shi Fang's place. Hearing that Shi Fang said that his life was not in danger, Ling Qingyu felt relieved and went back to the main house to meet Han Bian who had come back first.
Although it was a sandstorm, that is, Ling Qingyu and Meng Su were unlucky, and some of the others suffered flesh and blood injuries, but they were all minor injuries. The party members who traded were reliable. When the sandstorm came, they controlled several horses. Only the group of horses that attacked Ling Qingyu and the others ran away. .
Some of the horses that ran away were captured by the soldiers who were blown away, some were captured by the bandits, and they were brought back together with hundreds of good horses of the bandits.
And because those cows didn't run very far, almost none of them were lost.
In this way, the loss is not large.
"Which temple is more spiritual?" Ling Qingyu asked suddenly.
Han Bian was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I really haven't researched this. What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to burn incense. Didn't you realize that I've been unlucky all this time?" Ling Qingyu sighed, "Look at those of you who are among the horses and cattle, you just scratch your skin. I'm fine, hey !"
Han Bian nodded and said, "Speaking of it, it is true, did you do something to offend the gods?"
Ling Qingyu thought hard, shook his head and said, "No? Haven't I been doing good things?"
Han Bian shook his head with a smile, and said, "Boss, I want to hand over the trade here to Captain Du and Captain Meng. What do you think?"
Ling Qingyu nodded. Du Ming was good at planning and thoughtful, while Meng Su's judgment and execution were very strong. Only after this visit did he know what they had in mind.
"So, I'll discuss it with General Du." Han Bian closed the account book and said.
"it is good."
After sitting for a while, Ling Qingyu couldn't help getting up and walking to Meng Su's room.
According to the usual practice, their rooms are all in the same courtyard, and Meng Su's room is in the wing of the main courtyard.
Shi Fang came out of the house while wiping his hands, and was stunned when he saw Ling Qingyu, and then said: "The head of the family is here to see Captain Meng? Don't worry, that kid's life is hard, and he won't die for the time being."
"Temporarily?" Ling Qingyu asked.
"If you behave like this again in the future and I'm not here, you'll definitely die, so it's only temporary." Shi Fang laughed, then shook his head and left.
After thinking for a while, Ling Qingyu walked into the room. Meng Su was wrapped up like a rice dumpling and fell asleep on the bed.
When he was fighting with the sand bandit, he was full of hostility, resolute and vicious. Now he is asleep, with long eyelashes covering his eyes, and a smile on his pale mouth. These days are really cute.
Helping him brush the broken hair on his forehead, Ling Qingyu quietly exited the room, closed the door, and clapped his hands, looking at the bright winter sun, that thrilling night, all the traces seemed to fade away.
"Yan San, I want to learn martial arts, is there still time?" Ling Qingyu looked up at the sun and asked.
The person behind didn't answer, but just hugged her from behind, and after a while, Fang said: "It's too hard, don't worry about not learning."
"However, every time I stand and watch, I can't use any strength. That kind of feeling is really bad." Ling Qingyu sighed.
"If the gold master has become a top expert, why do we need guards? Master Ling, you can't make all the money." Yan San put his head on her shoulder and smiled. Practicing martial arts is not only better from a young age, but also requires patience and the ability to endure hardships. She has so many things to do every day, where does she get time to practice martial arts, and with her temperament, she can't stand upright, how can she practice it
"I think it's really a loss. Compared with the advantages and disadvantages of this snake pill, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages!" Ling Qingyu said angrily.
Yan San was silent, for those who practiced martial arts, the snake pill was an extremely precious treasure, but according to Ling Qingyu's situation, it was indeed overkill, and it was overkill for ants.
Pulling her outer cloak tighter, Yan San said: "Think about it, there will always be some benefits."
Her carriage was still in Meng Su's cottage, and she only brought a few sets of clothes with her, and only a cloak. This cloak was still a bit flimsy, but she didn't show that she was afraid of the cold. Maybe the snake pill was still there. There are uses he doesn't know about.
"I feel like a woman, I'm so sorry." Ling Qingyu sighed and said in a low voice.
"I've said it all, men don't care about this, otherwise, why would someone go to bed every day?" Yan San laughed.
"Huh?!" Ling Qingyu's eyes widened, and he said, "You mean, when we had a seizure, we treated ourselves as prostitutes, and they were prostitutes? Then I still have to charge money?" Yan San! You are too fierce, as a woman in the new era, I salute you!
Yan San laughed softly, and then said: "In the future, I will let you only charge my money."
The topic changed strangely, and Ling Qingyu couldn't get entangled anymore. Yes, what has been done is done. Compared with morality, survival is still more important. If you continue to entangle with these things, you will just make yourself feel guilty.
When Meng Su got better, Ling Qingyu and the others were ready to leave, but Meng Su insisted on sending them back to his cottage, Du Ming had no choice but to bring someone to send them off.
When they returned to Meng Su's stockade, the letter from Yang Zhao also arrived, replying to the regulations on rewards and punishments sent by Meng Su and Du Ming, each item was clearly marked, it was a complete set of military norms.
The two of them saw that there were many items that had never been added in the regulations, and their eyes lit up. It really was General Yang! If it continues in this way, it is not afraid that this team will not become an iron army, a bloodthirsty iron army that will never retreat and march forward bravely.
"When you recover from your injury, let's fight." Du Ming laughed.
"Okay, let's say hello to Mr. Han first, how to sell those things." Meng Su said.
Han Bian was taken aback by the two of them, staring at the two of them, seeing the sincerity on their faces, definitely not joking, he sighed and said: "No wonder the head of the family agreed to hand over all the business here to You are in charge."
"We won't fight under the banner of the Ling family, don't worry, Mr. Han." Meng Su laughed.
Han Bian shook his head, picked up a pen and paper and began to write out the specialties of Yanzhou to see if there was any shortcut.
When Han Bian communicated this matter to Ling Qingyu, Ling Qingyu said: "The salt produced in Yanzhou is not too much. If it is free, we can consider directly supplying it to our own people. It is just enough, just to save costs. , if there are many, see who is doing private salt business, you can hook up with them. That area is mainly medicinal materials, sheep and pastures.” Adding here to Yang Zhao, there are 100,000 people, which consumes a lot.
Han Bian thought in his heart, as expected, he did this specially in Fanwai, without any psychological pressure at all!
"It's just that, the head of the family, you still have to be cautious about this matter, after all, it's a troubled time now." Han Bian still couldn't help it.
"That's right. It's okay if you just grab a piece of grassland to let the horses go. If the area is too large, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to clean up later." Ling Qingyu nodded.
Before Ling Qingyu could tell Du Ming and Meng Su, Yang Zhao's second letter was rushed over.
"What the general means is that we can rob racecourses in areas where the two are not involved, but don't get involved too much. Don't move first in other areas for the time being. First, recruit soldiers locally." Du Ming said after reading the letter.
Han Bian breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly agreed: "Yes, we have just opened up the trade line. If we do it right away, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it. I also hope that you can help me open up the trade line for the Zhenrong Army. Minzhou."
Ling Qingyu looked at the map. Minzhou is an area intersecting Tubo. Although the horses there are not as good as Dangxiang, there are good medicinal materials there, such as cordyceps, saffron, snow lotus, and gold and silver.
"I remember that the Tubo people in Minzhou are fond of tea, so there is a special tea horse road to trade with them?" Ling Qingyu asked.
"Yes, the tea is usually transported up from Sichuan and Shu, but I wonder if I can deal with the Zhenrong army, and then when the grain is transported, I will also send the grain from them, so that we can get more More tea quotes." Looking at Du Ming and Meng Su, Han Bian laughed again: "But then I will trouble the two escorts."
To use up the banknotes as soon as possible, one of them is to buy a large amount of grain. Naturally, the best way out is to sell them in the middle of the country, and then replace them with tea Yin, which can be sold to Fanwai or to the northern grassland peoples. One turn is several times the profit.
Ling Qingyu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "It's possible, but don't use the name of the Ling family and start another firm."
Han Bian nodded, and said, "Master, do you want to visit the mine on Hedong Road?"
Holding Yang Zhao's unopened letter in his hand, Ling Qingyu said very solemnly, "Alright, let's go for a walk."
Meng Su's eyes darkened slightly, and he said with a smile, "Then, I'll go get some wild game for dinner."
Du Ming and Yan San both glared at him, you go
