Chapter 830: heartbeat

Qin Erye was also a little happy when he heard that he was going to enter the mountain. If Qi Haoran took him away at this time, he would really not be able to escape. He didn't know who owned the mine in the mountain, but as long as Qi Haoran stayed in Here, there is hope for him to escape or offend.

But the second master Qin overestimated the people in the mountains.

Qi Haoran took someone to eat the dry food and then slept until midnight. After making some arrangements, he quietly surrounded the mine. It didn't take much effort to bring the mine.

Qi Haoran kicked off the fence set up in the mine, kicked the knives seized on the ground, paced up to a steward, and asked in Xixia, "How many people are there in the mine?"

The steward saw that Qi Haoran was a Han Chinese, and was surprised and asked in Xixia language: "You are not from my Xixia, but you are from Daqi?"

Feibai stretched out his hand and slapped him, and said in Xixia language: "There is so much nonsense, if I ask you what to say, hurry up and say, how many absenteeism and how many guards are there in your mine!"

The steward's face was ugly, but seeing that the guards guarding the mine entrance were all well-trained soldiers, he knew that he could not escape.

It turned out that this mine was not being mined by the Xixia court, but was mined privately by a small nobleman in Xixia. Because it was hiding from the court, the mine was not large, with only more than 800 absentees and only 300 guards.

Qi Haoran went to see the absentees who were pulled out. Most of them were Han Chinese, and a few were from other ethnic groups.

The steward told them that they were all slaves and had been looted. Qi Haoran hated them, and only 300 guards guarded them, and even more than 800 of them could not escape.

Qi Haoran asked people to be watched separately, and then he entered the mine with a dark face.

Because the manager said that the scale was not large, Qi Haoran did not think how much gold could be in it, but a personal guard stepped forward to open a mine and saw the gold nuggets and gold bricks piled up inside, Qi Haoran just widened his eyes , but the guard walking in front of him had his eyes straight, and he stopped moving.

Qi Haoran closed his mouth, glanced at him calmly, and said, "Wipe the saliva from the corner of your mouth."

The guard raised his hand to wipe his mouth subconsciously, only then did he realize his gaffe, and hurriedly stood at attention.

Qi Haoran went in and took a piece of gold and weighed it in his hand, then turned to Fei Bai and said, "You are here with someone to guard here, and no one is allowed to enter."

Feibai should go down.

Qi Haoran brought the manager of the mine over and asked, "Is this what you mean by small scale?"

The steward cried and said: "General Rongqi, there is a reason for this, because it is too far from the city, and transportation on the road is difficult. In order not to attract attention, our gold is transported every six months, and the snow melts at the end of March every year. Afterwards and before Xueluo in September, the gold was shipped once, but who would have known that this year, there were frequent activities on the Xixia border and other troops came. In order not to be discovered, the master asked us to delay the delivery of gold. The gold is the amount of this half year."

Qi Haoran squinted, stepped on his chest and asked, "Say, what else did you hide?"

The steward yelled, indicating that there was no more.

A guard asked in a low voice, "Have you been mining for several years in this mine? How many years will it take to finish mining?"

The steward stopped crying, and Qi Haoran crushed it **** his feet. The steward immediately shouted, "Ten years, at least another ten years at the current speed."

Qi Haoran's eyes lit up, this gold mine is not small!

and Qi Haoran's guards who had the same idea looked at each other, and someone suggested in a low voice, "General, let's grab this gold mine."

Qi Haoran glanced at them and said, "You think this mountain is a piece of gold, if you grab it and run away, do you have the ability to move the mountain?"

"Then we'll **** all this piece. Anyway, this was our country originally..."

Everyone just stared at the guard and said nothing. This land was lost by Da Zhou, and it has been lost for more than 20 years. Let alone the question of whether it can be recovered, the key is whether it will cause a war between the two countries. The gold mine that was finally grabbed was not enough to pay for food and grass.

Qi Haoran rubbed his chin and thought about it for a long time. In the end, he felt that this matter was very important. He couldn't make a decision by himself. He had to go back and ask everyone's opinions, but there were three things for sure. , they have to save the absentees in the mine. There is a shortage of people. Eighty percent of these absentees are Han Chinese. They just took them back to settle down and farm. Third, they have to guard this mine first.

Therefore, Qi Haoran took the time to leave seven hundred people and half of the absent workers. He took three hundred people and escorted the second master Qin and four hundred absent workers to go back first. Before leaving, Qi Haoran quietly executed the steward and the guards. The leader detained the guards of the mine separately, and then each of them withdrew to the Daqi border with a few pieces of gold in their pockets.

They chased Qin Erye and others deep into Western Xia, but it was only a half-day effort. At this time, although they were absent from work with 400, the speed was a little slower, but they returned to the guardhouse before dark.

When Liu Dahei saw them, his gray face changed, and he hurried up, "General, where are you going? At the end of the day, the general thought you died in Xixia. I will take all the two guards near Xixia. I chose it because I was afraid that they would report to the Xixia army, but I don’t know how long it will take to hide it. If you don’t come back tonight, you will give the emperor a discount at the end…”

"Okay," Qi Haoran patted him on the shoulder as he walked, and said, "You did a good job selecting their guards, and cut off the news so that we can move the gold."

"Yeah, no, what kind of gold to move?" Liu Dahei reacted, and he didn't seem to understand what the general said.

Qi Haoran pulled the man closer to the tent, took out the gold nugget in his arms and stuffed it into his arms, saying: "This gold, hurry up and ask another thousand soldiers to bury the pot to cook rice, prepare the horse and mule cart, and the heavens. After it gets dark, you will take them to load gold, and you will be back before dark tomorrow, and the border will be handed over to the Lord, and the Lord will not let anyone find you."

Liu Dahei held the gold in a daze, lowered his voice and asked, "How much gold is this?"

"I don't know, I haven't weighed it, but there should be tens of thousands of taels, so you have to hurry, bring back those absenteeism, and bring signal fireworks. If there is any danger, notify the Lord, and the Lord will bring someone to rescue you."

Liu Dahei rode each person and led them to the valley under the guidance of a few guards. Qi Haoran squinted his eyes and opened the map to check the border line. Qi Haoran drew a few points on the top. The circle, hummed: "Don't they like to harass and loot? This time, the Lord also let them have a taste of this, and informed the guards that all the guards will use the same method for the Lord to go to Xixia tomorrow. After walking through the territory, grab whatever you see, don’t hurt women and children, don’t kill civilians, and as for encountering Xixia soldiers, we will do what the Xixia soldiers did before, don’t escalate the situation, but we are not grandchildren, understand Yet?"
