"Wait for me here. Don't run away. I'll be back soon." Song Che warned and hurried back to the tent. When he returned to the woods, he had a small book in his hand.
He opened the book and saw the pattern of a bank note printed inside. He bit his finger again and put a bloody fingerprint on the bank note. He tore it off and handed it to Ning Yehong: "This is called a 'cheque', and the face value is ten thousand taels. Take it to any bank in the world and you can get cash in cash." He took out two more gold ingots from his sleeves and stuffed them into Ning Yehong's hand.
"After tonight, you must leave Hebei and go to the south of the Yangtze River. All this gold will be used as payment." He took off his velvet robe again and wrapped it around Ning Yehong.
"I have moved to Hangzhou. The largest 'Song Mansion' on Lihua Street in the northeast of the city is my home. If you finish solving the matters at hand, you can go find it at any time. There will always be a place for you in the Song Mansion." He Then he looked at Ziyun aside and warned:
"You don't have to go out with me this time. You and Hong'er are like sisters, help me take care of her." Zi Yun pointed to the check in Ning Yehong's hand and asked: "Then, do you have me in these ten thousand liang?" What's your share?" Ning Yehong hurriedly handed the check back and advised: "No matter how rich you are, you don't dare to give it like this. A small check is only ten thousand taels, and I can't spend it all with so much money... ..." Song Che held the check into Ning Yehong's hand and said with a smile: "Having money and not spending it are two different things. Only when you have endless money in your pocket can you feel safe."
"Zhaozhu, just accept it. You don't know that Boss Song can earn dozens or even millions of taels of silver from a business trip. This ten thousand taels of silver is really nothing to him." Zi Yun came over to persuade him. , still holding Ning Yehong's hand, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Besides, the big ones don't spend money, the small ones... I also want to spend money, right?" Ning Yehong elbowed Ziyun and told her not to talk nonsense. With his eyes, he turned to look at Song Che with gratitude and concern:
"We are going outside the fortress, and the dangers are unknown. You must be extremely careful..." Song Che nodded and said no more. He turned back to the caravan and hooked up his carriage, and prepared double copies of charcoal, bedding, and a heater.
Ziyun drove the carriage and took Ning Yehong with her, and soon disappeared into the snowy night. What is she hiding from me?
Looking at the carriage gradually going away, Song Che frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Brother Song!" Jiang Yuntian suddenly appeared. Song Che shivered in fear and shook off the snow on his body.
"What are you looking at? Are you so fascinated?" Jiang Yuntian smiled heartlessly. He seemed to be a lot happier after being reunited with the princess.
Following Jiang Yuntian was Lin Tong. Song Che rolled his eyes and sighed:
"I originally heard a terrible news, saying that there was a group of bandits in Black Bear Ridge ahead, and they wanted to attack the Heqin team. I just thought of a clever plan to suppress the bandits, but I was so suddenly frightened by you that I completely forgot about it... I completely forgot... ..." Lin Tong frowned,
"In the Hebei area, I heard that there are many remnants causing trouble, which is related to the safety of the princess and the marriage plan. Boss Song, this matter must not be taken carelessly!" Song Che rubbed his shoulders and said:
"It's freezing cold. If I have a pot of shochu, maybe I can think of something." Jiang Yuntian said bitterly:
"I will personally warm up the most intense sweet potato fever for you, okay?" Song Che rubbed his thighs again and said:
"My legs are numb after standing in the snow for a long time. Look at the fuss this has caused..." Jiang Yuntian and Lin Tong looked at each other knowingly. They lifted Song Che to the left and right and walked towards the camp.
...At dawn the next day, the wind and snow suddenly stopped, and the Heqin team broke camp and rushed on the road. Black Bear Ridge is more than forty miles away from here. The mountain is not steep, but the foothills are very vast. In addition, it snows heavily and the sky is completely white, which is very suitable for Tibetans.
There are only two small towns in Heixiong Ridge within a radius of fifty miles. The weather is cold in winter and there are few people around. It's late afternoon.
The team arrived five miles away from Black Bear Ridge.
"Stop advancing and camp where you are!" Jiang Yuntian raised his arms and shouted. After a while, the two accompanying envoys, Wang Xiong and Lu Teng, ran over from the front of the team.
"General Jiang, it's just now, why are you camping where you are?" Wang Xiong asked. These two messengers were the spies installed by Master Jia in the marriage procession. They had many enemies along the way, and they were the ones who caused the most trouble.
Jiang Yuntian disliked them the most. He said impatiently: "Hei Xiong Ridge is just ahead. I heard that a group of bandits are entrenched here. If we advance rashly, we might be ambushed, so we set up camp in advance today. I have sent scouts to Qizhou City to borrow troops and wait for reinforcements to arrive tomorrow." , and we will cross Black Bear Ridge together." Lu Teng said, "We are in the Heqin team. If the bandits dare to rob us, they are treason!" Wang Xiong said, "Yes, there are two thousand forbidden troops in the team, even if the bandits are really If they dare to rob them, they will never come back." Lu Teng advised: "General, look, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and there will be heavy snow tonight. We are camping on the ground, and there is no protection from the wind and snow. , Why don't you freeze to death!" Jiang Yuntian grew up
"Oh" he said and asked: "What you two adults want to do is to go to the mountains and forests ahead to escape the wind and snow, right?" Wang Xiong said with a smile: "This is the best -"
"What a fart!" Jiang Yuntian scolded: "Who are the bandits? They burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil! Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, you choose to go to the tiger mountains. Is there something wrong with your brain?" The two envoys immediately lost their smiles.
"General Jiang, have you forgotten that your duty is only to protect the marriage team, and Mr. Lu and I are the leaders of this marriage, right?" Wang Xiong said coldly.
Lu Teng also said: "In terms of official rank, rank, and authority, we are all superior to the general. The time for the marriage is tight, and we cannot delay it for a moment. If the general is so timid and cowardly, when can we arrive outside the Great Wall? ah?"
"Well said." Jiang Yuntian jumped off the horse. The two messengers were so unhappy.
"Choke!" Jiang Yuntian pulled out his sword and cut the gravel beside the road in half with one strike. He opened his eyes wide and glared at Wang Xiong and Lu Teng.
They were so frightened that they trembled!
"Everyone, listen, continue to camp. Anyone who dares to be lax and lazy will be punished by military law!" Jiang Yuntian ignored the two envoys and started to inspect the camp with his horse.
At this moment, Song Che was standing on the top of the carriage, looking out at the dense forest ahead. For bandits who were familiar with the terrain, if they set up traps in the dense forest and used their tactics properly, not to mention two thousand forbidden troops, they would be ten thousand soldiers. The horse will also be folded in it.
"These two rotten scholars are always going to cause trouble. They are afraid that they will be forgotten if they don't say a few words." Jiang Yuntian came over cursing.
Song Che smiled and said: "Most ordinary people are like this. They use their power to boss others around as much as possible to satisfy their vanity and sense of existence, and just ignore them."
"Brother Song, is there any way you can give them to me?" Jiang Yuntian made a question
He made a gesture of "wiping his neck" and said: "Once these two old bastards are dead, it will be much easier for Qin'er and I to meet."
"It's easy to kill them." Song Che pointed to the Black Bear Ridge ahead and said, "If the bandits attack the camp at night tonight and kill these two people in the chaos, no one will doubt them."
