"Did you stay in Dai County for so long and didn't you fancy one?" Ling Qingyu said with a surprised expression on his face but a smile in his eyes, because Alan stayed in Dai County, and Shi Fangfang didn't go out to sea with him. Immediately staring at people, anyone who Alan takes a fancy to will inevitably be attacked by various poisons, so that as long as Alan keeps his eyes on him for a while, that person will definitely turn his head and run away.
"When will you get rid of those two things that are in the way!" Alan said with his eyes wide open, opened the car door and looked at the two people with his hands together.
"I can't order them." Ling Qingyu laughed, turned and walked to the carriage.
After taking two steps, two people flew out from behind the carriage, and then Yan Qiying and Nine Shadows Shisan also jumped out of the carriage.
Yang Zhao stretched out his hands and pulled Ling Qingyu into his arms, and heard a shout: "Be careful!" The two who flew out had already jumped into the dense forest with a little strength on the top of the icy-covered branches.
The bright red blood splashed out, dyeing the white snow like a pattern of flowers.
"Siege!" He Li unsheathed his sword and ran back to the horse, drew a crossbow from the horse's back, formed a circle with the guards, and protected the carriage inside.
In that instant, as soon as the battle array was set up here, many people wearing white cloaks leaped out from the dense forest in the valley, and rushed towards the people on the mountain path without making a sound.
Alan swished back into the carriage, Yang Zhao sent Ling Qingyu to the carriage, picked up the waist knife, and the waist knife was drawn out before turning around, the dense blade reflected the hidden weapons and sleeve arrows that were shot over one after another.
Yan Qi and Ying Thirteen and Ying Jiu took off their cloaks casually, and under the surge of internal force, the cloaks blocked those hidden weapons and sleeve arrows like a copper wall and iron wall, and then greeted the person with the highest martial arts among the visitors.
Yang Zhao stood in front of the carriage without moving, and looked at the stone platform on the curve ahead with heavy eyes.
"Let the arrows!" He Li yelled, and the crossbows in the hands of the guards pointed at the visitor and shot a rain of arrows. As the visitor rushed, the weapons waved into groups of brilliance, and the steel arrows were picked down one after another, but they didn't know what to do. When the second round and the third round of arrow rain came one after another, several people were shot and fell back to the valley.
After the three steel arrows in the crossbow were fired in succession, there was no chance to reload the arrows. He Li threw away the crossbow and swung his saber, and wanted to take a step forward to meet the enemy directly.
Two figures in black came up from the bottom of the valley, and the sword light rushed into the men in white like the wind, blocking those men in white from the surrounding formation.
Yang Zhao looked down the valley, and saw that the white snow had been splattered red with blood, and more than a dozen corpses were hanging on the tree. Looking at the stone platform in front, a trace of coldness appeared on the corner of his mouth.
With Ye Shiyi and Lu Yao joining, the remaining men in white clothes were cleaned up by five people without much time.
"Do you want to chase?" Yan Qi asked after seeing the disappearing figure on the stone platform in front of him.
"No need." Yang Zhao put the saber into the sheath, and said, "It's Tang Wang's man, just came to probe."
"Prince Tang?" Yan Qi raised her eyebrows, you won't provoke another enemy, will you
"The youngest son of the first emperor was entrusted to Chengdu." Yang Zhao glanced at Shitai and said, "He is a cowardly idle prince who only loves money. It seems that it is only on the surface."
"Did you offend him?" General Yan Qi asked Lu with a flick of his name, then he kicked a corpse down the valley and asked.
Yang Zhao shook his head and said, "It's just that the military power in my hand is more eye-catching."
"There's no need to sweep the snow, let's go directly." Yan Qi looked at the road ahead and said.
"En." Yang Zhao responded, and He Li and his guards had taken back all the arrows they had shot, pushed the corpse down the valley, and mounted their horses to explore the way.
"My lord, don't you believe me?" Chen Xi chuckled a few times, picked up a fruit in Qianqianyu's hands, and glanced at Tang Wang, who had a dark complexion, out of the corner of his eyes.
The strategist standing next to the first answer unconsciously bent his waist lower, and only dared to stare at the ground to count the ants.
"I also want to see what kind of ability Yang Zhao has that you admire so much?" Tang Wang waved his hands, sat on the couch, and said with a calm face.
"My lord wants to test Yang Zhao's abilities. He needs to send at least 200 people there, and there are only more than 30 people. Aren't they sent to die?" Chen Xi smiled brighter, but there was a trace of disdain and impatience in his eyes.
"My dead soldiers are all ten people, and more than 30 people can be worth more than 300 people!" Tang Wang said angrily.
"My lord, have you forgotten? The Ling family once produced Yan San who killed more than two hundred martial arts masters by himself." Chen Xi leaned on the soft support, and his voice was slightly higher.
Tang Wang was stunned, remembering that Chen Xi seemed to have told him such a thing, but he was not willing to admit his mistake, turned his head and said: "Then Yan San is dead?"
"Hehe, my lord, the death of Yan San does not mean that there are no other people. Didn't the dead men you sent this time be killed by five people before even the bodyguards arrived?" The look in Chen Xi's eyes It didn't feel like it was sinking. In this way, the masters of the Ling family still have a lot of sincerity, which is a bit troublesome.
Although this man is a bit stupid and conceited, he is the best candidate now. Chen Xi put away the contempt in his eyes, leaned towards King Tang, and said in a sweet voice: "Okay, my lord, don't be angry, just let it be that Yang Zhao can't use it."
King Tang took the opportunity to step down, put his arm around Chen Xi's waist, and said: "Yes, I think Brother Huang and Yang Zhao are not very pleasing to the eye, let's win over Wudang Gong."
"Okay, this is the income from our shop and Tianyi Building last year, half of which belongs to you, my lord."
After passing the Taihang Mountains, we encountered several waves of small-scale bandits on the road. Although they were easily dismissed, after such a delay, it was already early February when we arrived in Dai County.
After Yang Zhao and He Li went to Dai County to send Ling Qingyu to the mansion, they went directly to the military camp. Yang Zhao left for more than two months, and some vague news he heard in Bianjing gave him a bad feeling. Afterwards, the first thing to do is to take all the information from the Liao Dynasty party items into your hands and examine them carefully.
"After Dangxiang withdrew, there was no movement in Shuozhou. Xiao Sui's reception of Yeluye's troops was not very smooth. I heard that Weizhou's army did not follow Xiao Sui's orders. Other than that, there was no Nothing else." Yin Ting'an looked at the dignified Yang Zhao in puzzlement, and said.
"Bring the whole picture here," Yang Zhao said to He Li, ignoring Yin Ting'an.
He Li took out a picture scroll from the bookshelf next to the main tent, spread it out on the table, and asked, "Could it be that they really want to send troops?"
"I don't know yet," Yang Zhao looked at the dividing line between Dazhou, Liao Kingdom and Dangxiang, and said, "We are well prepared." This time when he went to Bianjing, someone would tell him from time to time that Dangxiang is now occupied. The place was originally the land of the Great Zhou, and after being bullied by the Liao Kingdom and Dangxiang for so long, he still needs to show them some color. Once or twice, he can take it as a joke of those literati, but after many times, he has become vigilant in his heart. These people think so, so what kind of thoughts do the court and the emperor have
"General?" He Li's heart skipped a beat when he saw Yang Zhao's fingers across the border crossing. Ruo Ruo really started fighting
On the third day after arriving in Dai County, Ling Qingyu went to see the place where the silver was hidden. The cave hidden in the dense streams of the high mountains could not be seen from the outside. After walking through a narrow passage, the inside suddenly opened up. The cave can accommodate thousands of people, and there are neat boxes inside, filled with silver and gold.
Twenty million taels of silver and five hundred thousand taels of gold.
"Well, there are still a lot of copper coins in Lingjia Village, and I will bring them over next time." Ling Qingyu put his finger on his chin and said.
"Well, master, if I increase the number, I will be under a lot of pressure." Gao Liu said with a bitter face. How much perseverance is required to look at these real money and not be tempted.
"It won't be too much. I'll give you another ten million taels. In this way, even if the court doesn't care about you, you won't have to worry about military pay for ten years." Ling Qingyu laughed.
"You don't plan to come here for ten years?" Gao Liu's voice was a little heavy, watching her pick up a silver bar and take a bite, then put it down cheerfully.
"I don't know, who knows what will happen in the future." Ling Qingyu clapped his hands, took another look with satisfaction, and said, "Let's go back."
The industries on Fujian Road in the south of the Yangtze River have already established a good foundation, and those shopkeepers are also very capable. In another two years, the business network will be fully paved. When the Xiao family penetrates into the most basic economic fields and forms Once you have established your own foundation, it will not be possible for the court or the powerful family to do it if they want to. Moreover, many children who come out of those schools this year will take the imperial examination. If they develop year after year, they will become big trees with deep roots situation.
As for Heishuiguan, apart from supporting money, she actually doesn't know what to do next. She doesn't understand politics or military affairs. These can only be supported by Yang Zhaoheli and the others.
If Yang Zhao left with her, she really didn't know what she was doing all the way here
"Do you only have the general in your heart?" Gao Liu said in a low voice, as if talking to himself, and then laughed at himself.
"What did you say?" Ling Qingyu didn't hear clearly, and turned to ask.
"I said, Li Yan's son is very playful and looks like a tiger." Gao Liu laughed.
"Really? I haven't had time to see it yet, so I'll go and see it when I get back." Ling Qingyu said happily, but with a trace of sadness on her face. She likes children, but she didn't have them in her previous life, and she probably won't have them in this life.
"Did you stay in Dai County for so long and didn't you fancy one?" Ling Qingyu said with a surprised expression on his face but a smile in his eyes, because Alan stayed in Dai County, and Shi Fangfang didn't go out to sea with him.
