Chapter 15 Military Investment

At the foot of the mountain, a long row of carriages were walking by. The 200 cars and horses looked quite spectacular. From this end, Geng Ling and I were lying on the hillside, behind us were 1,000 temporary part-time clothing factory workers...

I looked at the carriage in front of me with a big flag in it, and the flag was written with a slight "Su" - the characters on the Federal Continent are similar to Chinese characters, and I don't even know them.

I asked Qi Xiaohuan: "How many of them are there?"

Qi Xiaohuan said: "There is a groom in each car, and there are about a hundred and ten servants, with a total of 300 people."

I worried, "Are there any bodyguards?"

Mei Lihong said: "Where did the bodyguards come from the Su family when they run a horse gang and not an escort agency?"

I said, "Then aren't they afraid of robbing people?"

Mei Lihong sneered: "Who dares to grab the deal of the Sword God family? With that big flag, it is the best amulet. Only those who are crazy about gaining and losing will dare to make their own ideas."

My face turned red, and I clenched my fists and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's do it!"

Mei Lihong said: "I'm talking about it. It's your business that you want to do, but you are not allowed to use my banner. I want to live a few more days."

I waved my hand and said, "Go!"

Geng Ling and Wu Ying and the others rushed down the mountain, lined up at the foot of the mountain to block the convoy's way.

"Wow——" The driver in the first carriage hurriedly pulled the horse when he saw that the situation was wrong, and said in surprise: "Who is it?"

I slowly walked down the mountain and said slowly: "I can't see this yet, robbery!"

The coachman was originally nervous, and when he saw a group of men blocking the road, he laughed silently and said behind him, "The Second Chief, there are a group of men who want to rob us."

"Oh?" someone in the car behind her said slowly: "Ask who they are. If they are refugees, they will give me some money. Do you also ask me about such things?" From beginning to end, I didn't even show my head.

The coachman shouted, "I heard it, ask who are you?"

I'm so angry. If the other party relies on Su Jing's domineering behavior and is not afraid of robbing, it would be fine. He actually saw that we were men and didn't even show his face. He showed that he was a man and was obviously contempt and discriminatory. He was not afraid of being poor or being arrogant. You have to have something to say, right? If you don't have money, say a few good things to ask for forgiveness. Even if you say "I don't want money but don't give it to death", it is a response. At least the identity of the robber is still recognized. What's the point of treating people as beggars?

I shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, leave the car behind. The old man is not in high spirits today, so he doesn't want anyone."

I heard someone beside me giggling and said, "I learned so quickly." It turned out that Mei Lihong couldn't help but be curious and followed her with her face covering.

The coachman turned around and said, "The second leader, he is not a refugee, he must rob us."

"Waste!" The curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged woman in her forties had her head. The woman used a thick wooden hairpin to tie her thick hair up, her face was not covered with powder, her skin was dark, and her toad eyes were shining. She looked like a strong and capable person. She cursed the coachman, but her expression was smiling, and she didn't come out. She just arched her hands at me and said politely: "I'm the butler of the Chongwei Horse Gang. Please tell me what do you mean by my little brother."

I said impatiently: "I have said enough. Stay things and get out of here."

The female housekeeper was not upset and smiled and said, "It seems that the little brother is really short of money. I'll remind you-" As she said that, she pointed to the Su flag on the carriage and said, "This is the Su family's goods."

"What I snatched is the Su family's goods!"

The female housekeeper's face changed and she pondered: "Look, you are desperate and have to do this business. I'll say a few more words to you. Our Su family is not another Su family. Don't you even give me the face of Lord Sword God?"

I smiled to the sky and said, "Don't you just want to scare me with that little girl Su Jing? How could I be desperate if I hadn't been?"

The butler changed color in surprise and pointed at my nose and cursed: "I don't know what to say. Grandma, I'm just saying good things to you because of your pitifulness. Are you here to learn how to cheat people by relying on your stinking fish?" As he spoke, the grooms and servants who were escorting the convoy all rushed to the front, holding sticks and horse whips in their hands and looked at us coldly. Although these people were not guards, they were still angry when they saw the man cheating fish, and they all looked eager to try.

I shrugged and said, "Brothers, I have nothing to say, work!"

Geng Ling waved his arm with one hand: "Go!"

A melee started at the foot of the mountain. Although I knew we would definitely win, the battle process was beyond my expectations. It took almost 5 minutes, and the grooms who were still screaming were cut off and threw them on the side of the road by Geng Ling and others. Strictly speaking, this was not a battle at all. To put it bluntly, it was a fight between men and women. The men were impatient and grabbed the woman and threw it aside. After the baptism of escape from prison, the guys below me were able to say that they could make perfect use of the woman.

The female housekeeper was also grabbed by Geng Ling and fell down on the road. She sat on the ground for a while and was stunned for a while. After a long time, she realized that she cried and said, "You guys killed me, it's my life..."

I sneered, "Woman!"

Geng Ling and the others were not very careful and ignored the women who were driven away. Then they rushed to the mountain with horses and carriages.

I looked at the female housekeeper, squatted in front of her with a smile and said, "You go back and tell Su Chongwei that I will accept it with a smile, just treat her daughter as the mental loss I have compensated me."

The butler wiped his tears and said angrily: "Let's wait and see, you're in big trouble."

I no longer paid attention to her. Following everyone up the mountain, Mei Lihong smiled and said, "Is it very promising for you? Otherwise, I'll join me."

I curled my lips and said, "We are not bandits."

At this time, people counted the spoils, and someone opened the box on the carriage and shouted: "It's so much money!"

I leaned over and saw boxes on the ground. When I pried open the lid, I saw that they were all silver ingots of average size, each of which was 10 taels. After a rough settlement, I found that there were 200,000 taels!

Mei Lihong said with a serious expression: "For so much money, I'm afraid that the owner will come to you, except for the Su family who refuses to give up with you."

I smiled and said, "How much do you want to share, tell me."

Mei Lihong said seriously: "Since I have agreed that I will not participate, I don't want to pay for the things you robbed. Besides, I'm afraid you will not be able to eat them."

Before I could speak, Qi Xiaohuan screamed: "Brother Long, come and see what this is!"

I ran over and saw that the newly opened box in front of him was neatly zipped with swords and arrow feathers on the bow. I scolded, "What's the fuss?"

Qi Xiaohuan said: "So many weapons, these are probably weapons!"

Wu Ying there also shouted: "Brother Long, come to see this again."

Wu Ying took out a lot of flag tents from another box and opened it. The patterns on it were all the same lifelike phoenix. Someone said there, "This is still there!" The dozens of boxes behind were filled with military uniforms, and the edges of the sleeves were covered with golden lace...

The entire Shenfeng Mountain suddenly became silent in an instant! After a long time, Qi Xiaohuan said quietly: "What are we robbing... the military resources of the Feifeng Army?"

I looked at this and that, and said in confusion: "So what, what are you afraid of?"

Mei Lihong said crazy: "What are you afraid of? Do you know what the Feifeng Army is? It is the most elite unit in the entire Women's Kingdom. You robbed their military funds. Isn't this a rebellion on the ironclad?"

Wu Ying wiped the sweat and said, "Brother Long, we are really in trouble this time."

I didn't care: "We've messed with the sword god, why are we afraid of Feifeng Army?"

Mei Lihong said: "No matter how powerful the Sword God is, we may not be able to lead her out of the mountain in person if we fight and make a small fuss. Besides, we can hide from each other as bandits. If we are bandits, we will be unable to get along with the court. That is the real way to heaven and no way to the earth!"

I spread my hands and said, "What do you think you should do? The things have been snatched. Should I send them back?"

Mei Lihong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, from now on, you will be blessed by yourself. I can see that I can't keep you, the great god, so let's disperse."

I said in shock: "Drive us away?"

Mei Lihong shook her head and said, "Not only do you have to leave, I can't stay in this copycat anymore. Fortunately, I didn't report my name, and I hope there is still a chance to go far away."

Seeing that the female bandit who was not afraid of the world was actually indifferent at this moment, I couldn't help but say, "Since it is such an important military capital, why are there no military escorts?"

Mei Lihong said: "I guess the military strength of all countries is tight now. Our daughter country has taken this bad strategy to save troops. It is said that things are also safe to hand over to the Su family to transport them. Who knew that you, the young man, was robbed?"

I said guiltily: "I'm really sorry for you. Let's take half of the money, and we will run away separately. After all, because of me, you even lost the copycat."

Mei Lihong sighed and said, "It's not the time to talk about these things. You should plan where to escape. As for me, you don't have to worry." Mei Lihong smiled and said, "We bandits have no place to live, and it's just about finding a mountain to build a few more houses."

I was both moved and ashamed, and said at a loss: "I really don't know what to say... Why don't I sleep with you?"

Everyone: "..."

Geng Ling said: "Xiaolong, we can't take much care of it now. Money and weapons are useful to us. We happened to take these things to join the army in other countries. As for the flag tent and military uniforms, I think we will stay here and return it to the Feifeng Army. After all, we are from the daughters' country, so we have done our best to our country."

I said, "I can't tell you are still a patriot."

Geng Ling said: "If I had not been forced to do anything, I would not have wanted to touch the Feifeng Army. Zhao Fanghua, the commander of the Feifeng Army, the general of our daughter-in-law, has always respected her very much."

I asked: "Does she have the nickname of 'Continental Soldier God'?"

Geng Ling said: "That's right."

I often hear Su Jing mention this so-called general, and she is full of respect for her. It seems that Feifeng Army and General Zhao are famous, and even people like Geng Ling are respectful.

In desperation, we had to prepare for escape. Mei Lihong was willing to accept 50,000 taels of silver as compensation. That night, she ordered the whole mountain to prepare some luggage and bake dry food. We had to plan to part ways with her and expected to head southwest early the next morning.

However, the disaster came earlier - just before dawn, Qi Xiaohuan's investigation and arrangement report: the foot of Shenfeng Mountain was surrounded by a group of three thousand officials!

When the news came out, everyone was packing their luggage. As soon as it spread, people were in panic. Geng Ling and Mei Lihong hurried to the cliff and looked down. They saw that the foot of the mountain was indeed blocked by the dense cavalry. They did not set up camp, but sat quietly in front of the horse, looking at us with flashing eyes.

Geng Ling observed for a moment and pondered: "It seems that they didn't plan to stay for long, and they will attack as soon as the sky is dawn."

Mei Lihong patted her chest and said, "The blessing in disgrace is not the Feifeng Army. Look at the flag, it is the soldiers under General Yecheng."

Geng Ling said: "What are your plans?"

Mei Lihong said: "At present, we can only rush to the bottom of their line while the black is taking advantage of the situation. Whether we can run out can only let fate."

Geng Ling shook his head and said, "Didn't you find the Yu Ling behind them? These people are all riding archers. If we rush down, we have to lose half of them before we get close. Our people have no horses, and in the end we can't get away."

Mei Lihong said: "What do you mean? You can't just wait for someone to kill you, right?"

Geng Ling said: "Let them kill them up!"

"What did you say?" Mei Lihong said in disbelief.

Geng Ling said: "We are at a high place, and they will limit their speed when they attack. Only by making good use of this advantage can we have a chance to survive."

Mei Lihong said in surprise: "What should I do after attacking?"

Geng Ling said, "Let's go back and settle down first, and say as he walks." He came to me and suddenly shook my hand and said, "Xiaolong, we can fight this battle!"

I said blankly: "What does it mean to be able to fight?"

Geng Ling said: "We have 1,000 people, and the opponent is three times that of me, but if they are not allowed to play their advantage in riding and shooting, I will be sure to win the game!"

I said, "Why?"
