Chapter 1267: One hundred thousand taels of gold
Four days later, Yu Wenhao and Xu Yi disguised themselves as servants transporting food and set off in the procession.
This batch, on the surface, is grain and grass, but in fact they are all weapons.
The palace of the king of Chu is still tight, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and outsiders want to spy on the slightest rumor, but they can't spy on it.
In Jiangbei Mansion, after King An set out on the expedition, Princess An took the county lord on the road back to Beijing.
This was ordered by King An, because once the battle broke out, if the battle line moved back, it would affect Jiangbei Mansion, and the princess and the child were here, he was really not at ease, so he arranged for their mother and daughter to return to Beijing.
After the second batch of military rations was sent out of the capital, King Huai also left Beijing, and he wanted to go to the nearby state capital to prepare grain and grass, and say goodbye to Rong Yue, which was also very reluctant.
The first time her husband went out of the house, Rong Yue was even more reluctant to send a brother from the cold wolf door to follow him, perhaps because the emotional fluctuations of pregnancy were more obvious, and when Huai Wang went out, she couldn't help but shed tears.
She was actually happy in her heart, although she always said that she could protect King Huai, as long as he was safe and secure in Beijing, but when he really wanted to stretch his ambitions and realize his value, she was very happy.
After King Huai left, she moved to the palace of the king of Chu to live, and Yuanqing Ling Asi together, she said, they are all pregnant women, living together has a care, and the husbands of the three have gone on the expedition, living together will not be cranky, one person thinks badly, the other two will be comforted immediately.
I thought that among the three people, the strongest would be Rong Yue, and the weakest would be Ah Si.
But after staying down, I found that it was Rong Yue who was worried, she always said that he was not in good health, and this time he traveled a long distance and had to personally transport food to the border pass, which means that he would appear on the battlefield and be very dangerous.
Ah Si comforted him, he was a money and food officer, there were so many capable people in the army, he didn't need to go to the front line, and there was someone in the Cold Wolf Gate to protect him, there would be no accident.
Although Ah Si comforted her so much, she couldn't rest assured, and added a group of people to follow.
Yuan Qingling has been studying Mirror Lake and the battlefield recently, she doesn't have much to worry about, I don't know why, she always feels that the plan to pray for fire will succeed.
Let's say that after praying for fire and leaving Beijing, he went straight to the camp in the Northern Desert with his head.
The Northern Desert Army has pressed forward for thirty miles, and they have learned that the Northern Tang Army is about to press to the border, and it is said that Prince Anfeng is personally in command of the Emperor Taishang, and General Qin is impatient in his heart.
Emperor Taishang drove the expedition in person, what a great encouragement to the Northern Tang Army, and they were defending this battle, and the soldiers were holding the heart of defending the country if they would die, once this momentum reached the battlefield, it was invincible.
When he was anxious, he heard someone shouting in front of the formation, saying that he had taken the head of the prince of the Northern Tang Dynasty and came to get gold.
General Qin's spirit was shocked, and he immediately rode his horse and led people out, and saw a horse in front of the battle, and on the back of the horse sat an old man in coarse cloth clothes, carrying a thing in his hand, wrapped in white cloth, looking at the shape, it really looked like a human head.
General Qin rode his horse and galloped over, looked at him condescendingly, and asked, "Are you a sword demon?" ”
Qi Huo threw the head of the person in his hand and said, "Don't care who I am, since Beimo has issued a reward order, please give the gold according to the agreement." ”
The guards took the head, opened it first, and when they saw that it was really a head, it was presented in front of General Qin, General Qin stared at the head, he had been to the Northern Tang Dynasty twice, and the last time was when the Northern Tang Dynasty was crowned the prince, he went with the red leaves of Xianbei, and had several encounters with the prince, and he recognized this face.
The weather in this part of the Northern Desert is cold, the wind and sand are very large, and as soon as the head is presented, it shows the color of decay, the residual moisture on the face is carried away by the wind, and the broken neck and the black coagulated blood emits a foul smell of rot.
General Qin looked at it for a long time before he slowly rolled his eyes and said compassionately: "The prince's untimely death is really regrettable. ”
"It's not a pity at all, it's worth at least a million gold!" Qi Huo looked at him, "General, where is the gold?" ”
General Qin's wish came true, he laughed slightly, his face that was blown by the wind and sand all the year round, the wrinkles were very obvious, and the ravines were deep, he said: "One million taels of gold, only one person will come, I'm afraid I can't take it, it's better to find someone to come first, and the general will order someone to take you to take the gold!" ”
Qi Huo said lightly: "No need, I'm prepared, and look behind me!" ”
He rode his horse back, and General Qin looked over, and sure enough, he saw a team of ox carts far away, and at a glance, there were dozens of ox carts.
General Qin smiled and said, "Since you are prepared, then it's good, it's just ten thousand taels of gold, and you really don't need so many people to come." ”
Qi Huo was furious, "What ten thousand taels of gold? You say it's a million taels of gold! ”
General Qin laughed, "Really? I'm afraid that the honorable driver heard it wrong, and the general was talking about ten thousand taels of gold, come on, bring the gold up, and send the sword demon out of the camp! ”
Qi Huo narrowed his eyes, "Are you fooling me?" The surname is Qin, since I can get Yu Wenhao's head in the heavily guarded Chu Palace, I can also take your head in your thousands of troops, do you believe it or not? ”
"Faith!" General Qin was not afraid at all, and even continued to ride forward, "It's just that in this way, you won't be able to get a tael of gold, isn't this trip in vain?" ”
Qi Huo stared at him, and there was danger in his tone, "It won't be in vain, kill the prince, and then kill the famous general of the Northern Desert, my sword demon will be famous for eternity!" ”
General Qin was not afraid, "Among thousands of troops and horses, it is easy to take my head, but it is not easy to escape among thousands of troops and horses, Zunjia is a person who understands current affairs, 10,000 taels of gold is enough, no matter how much, Zunjia can't carry it, so be it!" ”
He raised his hand, roared, and saw a group of archers suddenly appearing in all directions, there were more and more archers, densely packed, there were no less than thirty or forty thousand people, and they quickly surrounded the fire group, and the speed and rapidity of the Northern Desert Army were especially visible.
Qi Huo's eyes jumped with anger, and he said coldly: "Do you think I'll be scared like this?" ”
General Qin pressed his hand and said: "Don't get me wrong, this is not aimed at you, the war is imminent, they are just ordered to protect the generals, Zunjia killed the prince of the Northern Tang Dynasty, it is my benefactor of the Northern Desert, they will not make a move against Zunjia, please rest assured." ”
Qihuo gritted his teeth, "That's it, 100,000 taels of gold, one tael less, I will fight with you for this life!" ”
After he finished speaking, the palm wind came out, and immediately swept away seven or eight people around him, and when this palm force was urged, General Qin also felt the fierce momentum, he squinted his eyes and looked at the prayer fire, and sighed: "It is better to stay in the army, and when the war is over, millions of gold hands will be offered." ”
Qi Huo sneered, "For you to go into battle to kill the enemy, in the end, I am afraid that I will be treated in this way, 100,000 taels of gold, please send it to my ox cart as soon as possible, otherwise, today will be a dead fish, and you will never be allowed to ruin my reputation." ”
It was a million taels of gold, but in the end it was only one percent, and the voice of praying for fire was full of resentment and unwillingness, but it seemed that it was also forced by the situation and had to compromise.
General Qin stared at him for a long time before he said slowly: "Come on, transport 100,000 taels of gold!" ”
