The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 830 Heartbeat

Qin Erye was a little happy when he heard that he was going into the mountain. If Qi Haoran took him away at this time, he really couldn't escape. He didn't know who owned the mine in the mountain, but as long as Qi Haoran stayed Here, he has the hope of escaping or offending.

But Qin Erye overestimated the people in the mountains.

Qi Haoran led his men to eat dry food and slept until midnight. After making arrangements, he quietly surrounded the mine, and took the mine away without much effort.

Qi Haoran kicked down the fence set up in the mine, kicked the seized knives on the ground, walked up to a steward, and asked in Tangut: "How many people are there in the mine?"

The steward saw that Qi Haoran was from Han, he was in doubt, and asked in Xixia language: "You are not from Xixia, are you from Daqi?"

Fei Bai stretched out his hand and slapped him, and said in Xixia language: "There's so much nonsense, I ask you what to say, tell me quickly, how many absenteeism and guards are there in your mine!"

The steward's face was ugly, but seeing that the well-trained soldiers guarding the mine mouth, he knew he couldn't escape, and if he didn't answer, the other party could figure it out by himself, so he gritted his teeth and confessed.

It turned out that this mine was not mined by the Xixia court, but by a small noble in Xixia privately. Because it was hidden from the court, the scale of the mine was not large. There were only more than 800 absenteeists, and only 300 guards.

Qi Haoran went to see those absenteeists who were pulled out, and it turned out that most of them were Han Chinese, and a small number were also people of other ethnicities.

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

Qi Haoran asked people to separate them into custody, and then entered the mine tunnel with a dark face.

Because the steward said the scale was not large, Qi Haoran didn't think about how much gold could be inside, but a personal guard stepped forward and opened a mine, and seeing the gold nuggets and bricks piled up inside, Qi Haoran just stared wide-eyed. However, the guard walking in front had his eyes straightened, and he didn't move a bit.

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

The guard subconsciously raised his hand and wiped his mouth, only then realized his gaffe, and hurriedly stood at attention.

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

Fei Bai responded.

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

The steward cried, and said: "General Rong, there is a reason for this, because it is too far away from the city, and it is difficult to transport on the road. 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 the snow falls in September, the gold will be transported once, but who knows that this year's Xixia border activities are very frequent, and other troops have come. In order to prevent people from discovering, the master asked us to postpone the gold delivery. The gold is the amount of half a year."

Qi Haoran narrowed his eyes, stepped on his chest and asked, "Tell me, what else are you hiding?"

The steward yelled, saying that it was gone.

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

The steward stopped crying, Qi Haoran crushed his foot hard, and the steward immediately shouted: "Ten years, at the current speed, at least ten more years."

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

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

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

"Then we'll rob this area, anyway, this was our land before..."

Everyone just glanced at the guard and said nothing. This piece of 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 snatched back, the key is whether the snatching will cause a war between the two countries. The gold mine that was finally robbed was not enough to pay for food and grass.

Qi Haoran rubbed his chin and thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that this matter was of great importance. He couldn't make a decision by himself, so he had to go back and ask everyone's opinions, but there were three things for sure. First, they had to remove the existing gold. The absenteeists in the mine were rescued and left. There is a shortage of people. Most of these absenteeists are Han Chinese. They just took them back to settle down and farm. Thirdly, they had to guard the mine first.

Therefore, Qi Haoran decisively left 700 people and half of the absentees behind. He took 300 people to escort Qin Erye and 400 absentees back first. Before leaving, Qi Haoran quietly executed the steward and the guards. The leader separated the guards of the mine and detained them, and then each of them withdrew to the border of Daqi with a few pieces of gold.

They chased Qin Erye and others deep into Xixia, but it only took half a day. Although they took four hundred absenteeism at this time, the speed was slower, but they still returned to the guard before dark.

Seeing them, Liu Dahei's ashen complexion improved, and he rushed up, "General, where have you gone? 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 I can hide it. If you don’t come back tonight, the general will give the emperor a discount..."

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

"Yeah, no, what gold to move?" Liu Dahei realized that he didn't seem to understand what the general said.

Qi Haoran pulled the man closer to the tent, took out the gold nugget he was carrying, stuffed it into his arms, and said: "For this gold, quickly ask another thousand soldiers to bury pots and make food, prepare the carriage and mule cart, God After dark, you take them to store gold, and you have to come back before dark tomorrow, and leave the border 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 there?"

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

Each of Liu Dahei rode in pairs and led his people to the valley under the guidance of several personal guards. Qi Haoran squinted his eyes and then unfolded the map to check the border line. Qi Haoran drew some Circle, humming: "Don't they like to harass and plunder? This time, I will let them have a taste of this, and inform the guards that all the guards will use the same method to go to Xixia tomorrow at Youshi (five o'clock in the afternoon) Walk around the territory, grab what you see, don't hurt women and children, don't kill civilians, as for encountering Xixia soldiers, we will do what Xixia soldiers did before, don't expand the situation, but we don't want to be grandchildren, understand Yet?"
