Chapter 1229： monitor

  Wokuo's caravan changed routes and Xiaobao knew it. He beckoned to the two people in the caravan next to him and asked, "Is there a small road leading to Weizhou nearby?"

"Yes, there are several of them. We are guarding here, so we have a good grasp of the area around here. Even if they go down the trail, we can intercept them from the front."

Xiaobao was satisfied, and ordered: "Then select four good scouts to follow, and we will intercept them from the front."

Xiaobao and the others asked Xiaoxiong after they left, "It's already a certain distance from the border gate. If you do it, how sure are you that you will be able to catch Wo Kuo?"

Xiao Xiong counted the number of his own and the other side, and said, "Eighty percent, we have more people than them."

Although there are more guards than their bodyguards, Yuan Qing has arranged a lot of people for them, all of whom follow several caravans as guards and guards, and he can call them at any time.

But Wo Kuo's horse is good. If something goes wrong, his guards will definitely protect him to escape, so the possibility of the other party escaping cannot be ruled out.

"Then wait, if we can't find out what he's doing in Daqi, we'll do it."

"What if he has an assistant in Daqi?" The guards felt that this was too dangerous, and they persuaded the two little masters, "I still think it would be better to leave this matter to Yuan Qing."

Xiaoxiong despised them, "He has assistants in Daqi. Could it be that his assistants are more powerful than Xiaoye's?"

"That's right, not to mention anything else, under a solitary order, the prefecture's garrison would dare not obey. On my Daqi site, I'm afraid that he will have an assistant?"

"We're just afraid that if he doesn't adjust his assistant, we can take down his people in one fell swoop!" The two of you settled the matter word by word.

The guards had nothing to say and could only follow the two masters closely. I just hoped that they could return to the capital safely and successfully complete this mission. The next time they were killed, they would not come out with the prince and the prince. It was too challenging for the heart. Is there any wood?

The people of Wo Kuo were arranged in the mountains and fields outside Weizhou City. A group of people occupied the gold mine, and a group of people occupied the silver mine. It is precisely because of this that although they assembled in the mountains to be bandits, but because there were gold and silver buyers The city buys food, and has never robbed anyone. The prefect of Weizhou City still does not know that these two groups exist outside the city.

When Wo Kuo occupied the area from Tokyo to Central Capital last year, he painted the gold and silver mines that had been surveyed on a map, and then killed all the miners inside, even the local officials who knew about it. Therefore, the new prefect did not know that there were two gold mines and silver mines with considerable reserves under his jurisdiction.

And Wo Kuo arranged people here because it is the closest to the grassland. If this place is really taken away one day, this is the easiest place to reach.

Last year's war was too hard, Dajin and Dayuan fought, Daqi and Dajin, and then Daqi and Dayuan, so it's not surprising how many people died. Now Weizhou City has a small population and officials There are mostly caravans on the road, but there is no one on the trail, not even a village where people live.

Wo Kuo and the others could only find an abandoned village to settle in. Nahe looked at the dilapidated small village and sighed slightly when he thought of the tragic war last year. He didn't want to see the war again, so the Lord must return safely. Go to the grassland, otherwise Dayuan will be in chaos again.

Even if you lose your own life, let the Lord return to the grasslands safely.

Wokuo didn't know that his staff were ready to sacrifice for him, he just spread out the map and looked at it, and said excitedly: "We are not far from our destination, we can turn into the mountains to see them tomorrow."

Nahe took the opportunity to ask, "Why did the Lord come to Daqi this time?"

"For the money!" Thinking of going into the mountains tomorrow to meet his former confidant, he didn't hide it.

Nahe opened his mouth wide and couldn't help asking, "How can the Lord dare to guarantee their loyalty?"

"Of course they are loyal. Their parents, wife and children are all in Dayuan. Even for them, they will try their best to be loyal to me."

This is his own retreat, how could Wo Kuo not arrange it?

The people who    left behind were not only his confidants who were very loyal to him, but also his parents, wives, children, or siblings on the grassland. As long as their families were still in Dayuan, these people would not be able to betray him!

Wokuo took his people and turned into the mountains at noon the next day. At this time, Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong also settled in a relatively large village.

The caravan that cooperated with them in disguise saw that it was not far from Weizhou City, and they all asked to leave, but the guards went to stop it.

It's not over yet, these people are better off with them.

After nightfall, Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong received the news from the scout, and both of them couldn't help but widen their eyes, "You said it was a gold mine?"

"Yes, there are a lot of people in the gold mine, but I can't tell the exact number. Because they are heavily guarded, we don't dare to get too close, so we can only watch the situation by hiding on the mountainside."

Xiao Xiong frowned, "Even if it is a gold mine, he doesn't need to come in person as a Dayuan Emperor, isn't it a gold mine? Just send a man down."

Xiaobao's thoughts turned, "Unless Wo Kuo has no one to trust."

"But he is the founding emperor, how could he not have trusted people?"

It is said that the most founding emperors are the confidants, aren't they?

"It should be said that he does not trust anyone other than him."

Little Bear sympathized: "It's so pitiful."

"Okay, don't sympathize with him first, think about what to do, the number of people in the gold mine is unknown, how sure are you?"

"He is the emperor, so he can't always stay in it. It's Daqi again, so he can't bring more people when he leaves. We will wait for him to come out before we start. As for the people in the gold mine, Yuan Qing is far away. It's a little far away, so General Yuan will send troops to suppress it."

The Dading Mansion guarded by General Yuan is only two days away from here. There are 200,000 troops. Dealing with a gold mine is like crushing an ant.

Xiaobao always listened to Xiaoxiong about safety and war. Hearing that, he nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you."

Wokuo pulled a few carts of furs and medicinal materials up the mountain, but when he came down, he lost most of the goods. He stole a lot of gold in the middle, and there were furs and medicinal materials on the surface.

He had already made an agreement with the confidants who guarded here, and when he opened up the trade route from Weizhou to the grasslands, gold and silver would be transported to Dayuan through this dark line.

Wokuo went down the mountain contentedly, and said to Nahe: "We advanced to Weizhou City to rest for a day, and by the way, we will change the way back, and we will go to the silver mine when we return."

"Lord, it's too dangerous to bring so much gold into the city."

"The Han people have a very good saying, the most dangerous place is the safest place, not to mention that we need to find an excuse to sell the goods in our hands. If we don't even enter Weizhou City, who will believe that we Are things sold for gold and silver?"

"How can we transport so much gold and silver?"

"This is one of the reasons why we had to enter Weizhou City. We went to the grain store to buy some grain, and then hid the gold in the grain bag. The grasslands were short of grain, and the Han people would not doubt it."
