Liu Fang listened with rapt attention: "What happened next!"
"This time I went to Pagan. I really went to the right place." Liu Guohua continued: "A batch of black sand was dug out of the old pit of Pagan, including a stone king weighing 380 kilograms."
Liu Fang wondered: "Three hundred and eighty kilograms is not too big!"
Ye Qing smiled slightly: "The black sand from Pagan Laokeng is rarely found in large quantities. Not to mention 380 kilograms, but even 20 to 30 kilograms, they are all rare."
"When Brother Yuanshan saw this piece of black sand, he went crazy with excitement. He pulled Chen Juncai and took a group photo in front of this piece of black sand!" Liu Guohua continued: "This time, more than 300 pieces of rough stone were purchased, most of which were Black Usha, a small part is Damakan.
But this stone king weighing 380 kilograms made everyone worried. This stone king was too heavy, and no matter how strong the horse was, it could not carry it. "
"Finally, Chen Juncai came up with a way to make a sedan chair similar to a sliding pole, and used two horses as bearers to let the stone king ride in the sedan chair."
At this point, Liu Guohua's face turned ferocious: "But no one expected that something would happen on the way back."
"The caravan went out to the barbarian side. They went one way and came back and took another way. They just didn't give the mountain people an opportunity to take advantage of the bandits."
"The route chosen this time was to detour through Lao Cai Market, but as soon as the cavalry appeared on the mountain road near Lao Cai Market, they were ambushed by dad's subordinates!"
Liu Guohua took a long breath: "Generally speaking, with such a huge cavalry and everyone carrying a gun, even a small army would not dare to take action.
But this time, the opponent sent out thousands of people to ambush them in the dense forest of the mountain col. The situation was critical.
As the chief cook, Ma Qianli should be at the forefront, but Chen Juncai and Brother Yuanshan had a dispute over who was responsible for leading the team in a fight to the death. Everyone knows that those who stay will definitely have a narrow escape from death, but both of them leave the chance of life to each other.
After a dispute, Ma Qianli decided to draw a lottery of life and death. "
Ye Qing nodded slightly. When they met on a narrow road, the brave would win. However, most of the braves died in the battle. Who would fight harder in this battle?
"I made the life and death lot at that time, one long and one short. In the end, it was Chen Juncai who drew the death lot, but Brother Yuanshan secretly cut off a section of the branch that represented the life and death lot.
Therefore, after Brother Yuanshan and Ma Qianli led the cavalry disciples to break off, Chen Juncai was responsible for leading the cavalry transfer. "
"As soon as the battle started, it was extremely brutal. The opponent tried to stop them desperately, but Ma Qianli and Brother Yuanshan rushed in at all costs. The battle lasted for a long time. Both sides suffered heavy losses, and then they tore a hole in the opponent's defense line.
Master, Chen Juncai and I led the cavalry to break out of the encirclement in order to help Ma Qianli and Brother Yuanshan get out of the battle quickly.
Chen Juncai made a prompt decision, abandoned more than a hundred carefully selected rough stones, gathered two hundred strong horses, tied torches to the horses' tails, and drove them towards the enemy.
Ma Qianli and Brother Yuanshan took advantage of each other's panic and found an opportunity to lead the caravan disciples to break out of the encirclement. "
Ye Qing frowned and said suspiciously, "Since you were the first to break out of the encirclement, why did Chen Juncai fall into the hands of the enemy?"
Liu Guohua sighed: "It was only later that Brother Yuanshan caught one of Dad's cronies and found out the whole story."
Ye Qing's heart moved: "These stones were not very valuable back then. In other words, the price of these stones was not high before they were cut. Therefore, my father's purpose was not to rob these stones, but to obtain the Nanming treasure." .”
Liu Guohua glanced at him in surprise: "How do you know the Nanming treasure!"
Ye Qing nodded: "I heard it said before!"
Liu Guohua gritted his teeth and said: "It was because someone told my father that Chen Jun was the descendant of Chen Zhan, the former governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he had a treasure map left by Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang.
This time we detoured to the old market because the place where Zhu Youlang hid his treasure was in the mountains near Kokang Old Street. This time, under the guise of transporting raw stones, these priceless Nanming treasures were smuggled out. "
Liu Fanghu asked: "There is really a Nanming treasure!"
Liu Guohua smiled bitterly and said: "This is a legend that has been circulated for three hundred years. No one knows whether it is true or not. However, dad takes it seriously and wants to keep the caravan at all costs."
"Although they broke out of the siege, both sides suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and they completely formed an irresolvable mortal feud. In order to avoid future troubles, my father issued a sky-high reward for killing a caravan disciple, and gave him a pound of white powder. Ma Qianli, Wenyuanshan will give you five kilograms of white powder, and if you capture Chen Juncai alive, you will be given ten kilograms."
"The mountain road is rugged and difficult to navigate, and the jungle is full of dangers. We are caught in an endless pursuit." Liu Guohua said with fear in his eyes:
"One after another, the disciples who came out died in the traps, arrows, and hidden guns set by the opponent. Their heads were cut off and taken away, leaving only headless corpses that were eaten clean by the wild beasts in the jungle, with no bones. live."
"In order to bring more people home, after discussing with Ma Qianli, Brother Yuanshan decided to abandon all the rough stones and horses and go to the nearest Zhenkang County. Even so, only fifty-three people returned to the country alive.
Chen Juncai disappeared, and more than four hundred of his disciples died tragically in the mountains and forests. The family property that the eldest brother from the distant mountains had accumulated over the years was all lost. "
Speaking of this, Liu Guohua burst into tears and burst into tears...
Liu Fang handed the tissue to her father, and she couldn't help but shed tears. She never thought that her father, who was cheerful all day long, would hide such a human tragedy in his heart.
Ye Qing was also in a gloomy mood, and finally understood why his master couldn't let go of this hatred.
"When I returned to China, I was discovered by the border guards. Brother Yuanshan begged them to send me to Kunming overnight to ask to see your father, Senior Official Ye."
"When Senior Officer Ye heard about this human tragedy, he was furious. He immediately called one of his family friends. That night, three heavily armed reinforced companies quietly crossed the border and launched an attack on Lao Cai."
Ye Qing nodded and knew what happened next: "My father is in the official career and is not in the army. Who did he call!"
Liu Guohua said without hesitation: "The surname is Liu, from the willow tree. I don't know the name."
As soon as Ye Qing heard the surname Liu, he knew who it was and said with a wry smile: "It turns out they are these brothers in need!"
"You know who it is!" Liu Guohua was surprised!
"Liu Jianjun, Liu Huhu, one of my elders!" Ye Qing shook his head and smiled: "The only person who dares to send troops to fight abroad without asking for instructions, without reporting, without considering the consequences is the only prince who has no fear of heaven and earth.
If this matter were to happen to others, not only would he be sent to a military court, but he would probably be dragged to target practice.
The two old men of the Ye family and the Liu family jointly acted as guarantees, so my father and Liu Shu survived, but they also sat on the bench for five years before being reactivated.
My father is in charge of the government, and Uncle Liu is currently the commander of Wei Wu of the Kyoto Military Region, which is considered a high position. "
Liu Guohua was frightened after hearing this and sighed: "If they hadn't wasted five years, their achievements would definitely be more than this."
Ye Qing smiled: "If Uncle Liu hadn't had the leisure time in the past five years, how could he have deceived Mama Liu, a beautiful lady of this country, into his hands? This is called a blessing in disguise."
