Chapter 1163 Chapter 1163(1/2)
The celebration banquet that night was about to end. Li Yongjia picked up the wine glass and sang to Xu Jingqian, Xiao Yao and several of his subordinates said:
"Everyone, although the king's thief army has been wiped out, the king's thief escaped. These evil thieves have no kindness and righteousness in their hearts, and no people. If they are allowed to escape, they will cause trouble to the people of the world. Here, I hope you will search for the king's thief together and kill them to comfort the spirits in heaven who died."
Xiao Yao didn't intend to tell the truth, so he whispered loudly with Xu Jingqian and others, and then drank again and then left.
As the leader, Xiao Yao got a separate tent, and as for her subordinates, they were crowded in several tents.
Wang Qilang thought of Xiao Yao's charming little face and called Li San from Lijia Village. He planned to take turns to lead a few subordinates to guard Xiao Yao's camp, one person in charge of the first half of the night and the other person in charge of the second half of the night.
Xiao Yao woke up the next day and saw Wang Qilang. He was surprised at first, but soon knew why he was here. He was very grateful and hurriedly crossed his hands and thanked him seriously.
Wang Qilang scratched his head and said, "This is nothing, General, you don't have to be polite. You are our general, and it is our duty to watch. Last night, it was Li Sanlang guarded it, and I am not the only one who did this."
Xiao Yao smiled and said, "There is no need to make me special, I'm fine."
Wang Qilang scratched his head and smiled when he heard this. He glanced at Xiao Yao's face and didn't know what to say.
Such a beautiful face, and in the military camp, how could it be fine?
Because of Xiao Yao, Wangjia Village did not destroy people and displace them like other villages, and even ate rice. He was very grateful to her and regarded her as a reborn parent, so he made up his mind to follow her and make a fool of her.
While Xiao Yao was having breakfast, he saw Wang Qilang fighting with someone and rushed over.
The ones fighting each other were Wang Qilang and Sun Silang. Both of them had long armor, and they were both bruised and swollen at the moment. They still stared at each other dissatisfiedly after being pulled open.
Xiao Yao frowned: "What's going on?"
When Wang Qilang and Sun Silang saw Xiao Yao, they both put away their angrily gazes and looked at Xiao Yao. Wang Qilang glanced at Sun Silang and said in an attempt to cover up: "Nothing is wrong."
Sun Silang said with some grievances: "General, General Xu said last night that he could chase after deer. I thought we hadn't eaten venison before, so I said that it seemed good to follow him to eat venison. I never thought that I would follow General Xu from now on. I just wanted to come back after eating venison and still follow the general, but Wang Qilang hit someone!"
Xiao Yao couldn't hear anything at first, and looked at Sun Silang in surprise. After hearing this, he suddenly remembered that Xu Jingqian had said "Training the World". When he looked at Sun Silang's words about eating venison, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but the next moment he felt infinite sadness and said softly:
"He is saying that he is competing for the world, that is, he means fighting for the world, not chasing the deer or eating venison."
After hearing this, Sun Silang and other men showed a look of being deceived: "Fight for the world? We don't want to fight for the world, we just want to have a full meal!"
Xiao Yao nodded and said seriously: "I will try to make everyone have enough food." After saying that, he looked at the other subordinates and said loudly, "You have heard Xu Jingqian's words last night. If you want to go with him, just go with him, but you can't talk about anything related to me."
The man below heard this and showed an anxious look on his face, and kept shaking his head: "If you don't go, we won't go with General Xu, so don't want us."
They just want to eat and wear warmly, and their wives and children are warm on the kang. Everything has nothing to do with them, and they don’t want to care about it.
Xiao Yao said, "Since you have made up your mind to follow me, I will try my best to keep you full and warm. However, this is a bit difficult and requires time. I hope everyone will give me more time."
"We listen to the general." The men and women said in unison.
After everyone finished breakfast, Xiao Yao went to say goodbye to Li Yongjia and Xu Jingqian, and led his men to leave.
Li Yongjia was shocked by Xiao Yao's appearance and valued her aristocratic background, but she didn't like her hundreds of subordinates. Seeing that Xiao Yao refused to follow him, she casually said something to recruit when Xiao Yao came to say goodbye. Seeing that Xiao Yao didn't listen, she asked Xu Jingqian to help him go out to see Xiao Yao off.
When Xu Jingqian sent Xiao Yao, he brought up the old story again and asked Xiao Yao to take someone to join him. Seeing that Xiao Yao still refused, he went to see Xiao Yao's subordinates and said that men should have lofty ambitions and follow him to compete for the world, but no one listened to him.
Xu Jingqian was very disappointed and said to Xiao Yao: "You lack lofty ambitions, so you can almost see through the future at a glance. Such a subordinate will be of no use to join me if he defects. I will see you again, my wife. When you think of today, you can come and join me at any time."
Xiao Yao waved his hand and led his men away.
The group went to meet with Wang Wulang and others first. After the meeting, Xiao Yao asked everyone to move the food and grass he had obtained from Wang Shoujiang back to the village first. Wang Wulang and his men left behind, and he took Wang Shoujiang to the side to ask about the treasure he had treasured.
Wang Shoujiang looked at Xiao Yao: "Little Madam, if you use the heaven as evidence and swear to the heaven, you will let my life go. I will tell you. If you don't agree, I will take those treasures to the ground and keep the flowers for the next life. I am serious and hope that the little Madam will consider it solemnly."
He tried to persuade Wang Wulang to follow him last night, and he used his treasured property to lure him. Unfortunately, Wang Wulang and others were fools, and they didn't listen to anything he said. Later, they even thought he was annoyed and blocked his mouth.
Seeing that Wang Shoujiang's gaze was extremely firm, Xiao Yao also looked at him. He was about to speak, but his eyes couldn't help but look into Wang Shoujiang's heart: "You will tell me, right?"
Wang Shoujiang looked at Xiao Yao, as if he was possessed by a demon, nodding while talking: "Yes, I will tell you."
Wang Wulang waited anxiously outside the cave, and his eyes frequently looked into the cave.
His subordinates remembered Wang Shoujiang's eloquent tongue and looked at the cave with concern. As they looked at Wang Wulang, Wang Shisan asked: "Fifth brother, why haven't the general come out yet? She is so simple, will she call the King of Thieves to deceive him?"
Wang Wulang was also worried about this, but in front of his subordinates, he would definitely not be able to give up Xiao Yao's prestige. He shouted rudely: "What nonsense? The general is so smart, how could he be deceived by a villain like the king thief? The general has not come out yet, so he must have other plans."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Xiao Yao's voice coming from the cave: "Jun Wulang, come in. You can come in alone."
After hearing this, Wang Wulang told his subordinates to take good care of it, and he hurried in.
When Xiao Yao saw Wang Wulang come in, he looked at him: "Didn't you always want to kill Wang Shoujiang to avenge Wang Sanlang? Now, kill him."
When Wang Wulang heard this, he looked at Wang Shoujiang. Seeing that Wang Shoujiang was covering his mouth, he was looking at him, whimpering, as if he wanted to say something. Seeing that he seemed to be a little bit brighter.
When Wang Wulang saw Wang Shoujiang's situation, what he thought was that Wang Shoujiang colluded with the boss and attacked Wang Sanlang on the river that day. He immediately pulled out his knife and slashed Wang Shoujiang's neck.
Wang Shoujiang shouted a few times, then rolled his eyes and died unwillingly.
Wang Wulang was sure that Wang Shoujiang was dead, and looked at Xiao Yao happily: "It can be considered to be the killing of this little thief." He was furious when he remembered something and begged Xiao Yao, "General, have he given him that sword?"
Xiao Yao nodded: "Since that's the case, I'll give it to you." After saying that, he called Wang Wulang out, and then whispered, "Now, follow me, be careful along the way, and don't make any sounds."
Wang Wulang was very happy when he got Wang Shoujiang's sword. He nodded repeatedly, took his subordinates, and followed Xiao Yao without asking anything.
Xiao Yao took them to a small river that flowed into the river, walked up the river, walked to the cliff, and looked at Wang Wulang: "Pick the one with the best water quality, go all the way upstream, touch the tree on the cliff, and see what's in the water."
When Wang Wulang heard this, he didn't call his subordinates, so he got into the water and swam quickly towards the tree by the cliff.
There was an undercurrent near the tree, which was quite powerful. Wang Wulang frowned and took out a rope from his waist to tie the stone on the shore, then continued to swim down the tree.
Afterwards, Wang Wulang plunged into the water. After a while, it was not until Xiao Yao began to worry that he came out of the water and quickly went downstream.
Xiao Yao was waiting on the shore and saw Wang Wulang coming ashore, he hurriedly ordered someone to drive away the cold.
Wang Wulang was excited and waved away the person trying to help him drive away the cold, saying, "General, there are eight large boxes in the water!" After saying that, he looked at Xiao Yao with a bright look, "General, those are the property of Wang Shoujiang, aren't they?"
Xiao Yao nodded and whispered: "These things can buy a lot of food. You can choose a few people to go down and move those boxes up."
After hearing this, the rest of the people were very excited and wanted to go into the water to bring the treasure up immediately, so they all looked at Wang Wulang.
Wang Wulang said, "I tried it. The box is quite heavy and there are many people in need. You guys go into the water and help bring it up." After that, he led the people and plunged into the water again and swam upstream.
While watching Wang Wulang and others, Xiao Yao said to the children who stayed on the shore: "You must also help, hurry up and help carry the boxes later."
When the people who were not called to go into the water to move the treasures heard it, they were all energetic and kept nodding.
Xiao Yao stood on the shore and began to think about how to transport these things back to Wangjia Village, the current base camp.
Wang Qilang and the others used boats to transport grain, but they would only leave her a boat to go back. It was too forced to carry eight boxes for each boat.
I can't say that I have to send someone to take the boat first and call a few more boats to come on.
This is not a difficult thing, because not far from Chunjiang Ancient Ferry Head, the village is where people cut wood and burn charcoal. At that time, pretending to carry dry firewood and charcoal should not attract too much attention.
In a short while, eight boxes were brought up.
Xiao Yao ordered people to be alert everywhere and asked Wang Wulang to pry open the box.
The first box contained golden gold ingots, which were opened and shattered everyone's eyes.
Wang Wulang stared at the box and forgot to breathe. He couldn't stop swallowing and stuttered: "General, General, this, this gold, is this gold?"
Xiao Yao reached in and flipped down. Seeing that it was all gold, he nodded: "Yes, these are all gold." After that, he closed and asked Wang Wulang to open the second box.
Soon, all the boxes were opened, and the things inside also appeared in front of Xiao Yao.
Except for the first box, which is gold, there are seven left, two of them are silver, and the other five are jade and jewelry.
Although such wealth is not much, it is definitely more than the defeated Xiao family where the original owner is. It is just that there is no way to compare with the medium-sized family. As for the top-level family, it is even less comparable.
However, such wealth is definitely a lot of money for ordinary people!
Wang Wulang and the children who stood close to see these treasures were all breathing rapidly, staring at the gold, silver and jewelry in the box with green eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Yao let them see and didn't say anything.
Wang Wulang had never seen so many property before, and suddenly he could not see it.
After he came back to his senses, he calmed down, glanced at his subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, you must not think about these property by the general alone. It is important to know that we are all ordinary people. It is impossible for us to have so much treasure. Once we take it out, we will definitely take it to the prison."
When the rest of the boys heard this, their faces flushed and they shouted, "Wang Wulang, what do you mean? We all listen to the general, so we won't do bad things."
"Wang Wulang, we don't have any dirty thoughts. If you say this, do you have other ideas?"
Seeing everyone arguing, Xiao Yao hurriedly smiled and advised, "Okay, don't argue anymore, I believe you."
After hearing this, the whole person stopped talking, but his eyes still glared at Wang Wulang angrily.
When Wang Wulang saw this, he scratched his head and apologized embarrassedly before exposing the incident.
Xiao Yao asked Wang Wulang to lock the box again, and then ordered Wu Erlang, whom he trusted very much, to go down the river and call three boats to come, and then one person stood in front, one person behind the hall behind, and the others worked together to carry the box to the cave where Wang Shoujiang's body was.
After waiting for a long time, Wu Erlang returned and said that the four ships were already waiting by the river, but not at the ancient ferry, but some above the ancient ferry.
Xiao Yao smiled and said, "You are doing well, so you should be in the upstream." After saying that, he was still the same as before, one person was watching in front, and one person behind the palace, the others carried the boxes and walked carefully to the riverside.
Now everyone inside and outside An County knows that Wang Shoujiang is going to lead a large army to fight against Li Yongjia's army, so neither the aristocratic family nor ordinary people went out. Because of this, Xiao Yao and his group did not see a few people on the road.
Occasionally, I met one or two, but they were all skillfully sent by Xiao Yao.
When we arrived at the riverside, we put eight boxes on four ships, and each ship was escorted by several people, heading straight to the logging and charcoal burning place below the ancient ferry of Chunjiang.
There were still women and not strong men working at the logging and charcoal burning. Xiao Yao ordered several ships to load the driest firewood and the best burning charcoal to cover the box firmly, and then set sail down.
This time, the ship had just set off and encountered an army of more than 20 people.
The army was obviously trying to search Wang Shoujiang. When they saw the ships coming and going on, they stopped checking.
