Chapter 37 After the War: The Curtain
"This! What's going on?!"

Aslan and the four Patriarchs slept in the same tent after getting drunk. At this moment, they woke up startled and looked at each other, put on their clothes and went out of the tent to see this hellish scene on earth.

The four Patriarchs, Chen Li, Sun Wang, were already trembling, but Aslan's eyes were tearing apart, and his eyes were blood red with the scimitar in his hand.

"Ah! You hateful southerners, how dare you deceive us!"

Aslan turned his head sharply and stared fiercely at the four masters, with the long knife in his hand raised high.

In his opinion, the current scene is all a conspiracy by the southerners!
On the surface, they said that they did not bring any troops to let their Jiamubu warriors relax their vigilance, but in the middle of the night, they let the southern army ambushing in the dark to launch a night attack on them!
In order to be able to swallow the gold and silver he brought without paying anything, in the word of mouth of the tribal elders, the Central South people have always been synonymous with cunning.

It is not surprising that such a thing can be done.

Now he only regrets that he didn't see the conspiracy of the southerners, and that the warriors who came with him now encountered such a crisis.

Encountering such a situation without the slightest precaution, he dare not imagine how the warriors under him would be massacred. The only thing he can do now is to kill the four southern masterminds in front of him. Take revenge on the warriors who died tragically, and then fight to the death with these southern troops!

Even if it is death, the people of Jiamube will fight to the end!
However, these four Patriarchs are the key targets that Zhao Jun ordered, how could they be killed so easily by Aslan.

Just as Aslan was about to make a move, there were only a few swishing sounds of piercing through the air in the dark, and the four crossbow arrows stabbed firmly on Aslan's limbs!

"what!"

The unexpected attack and the pain from the crossbow arrow made Aslan uncontrollably let out a scream.

Immediately afterwards, the whole person was brought down to the ground by the powerful impact force carried by the crossbow bolt. The crossbow bolt that had penetrated half of the body fell back suddenly and the pain hit again, and Aslan's face turned pale. He became extremely pale, but he gritted his teeth and did not cry out again, but the eyes that were originally as sharp as goshawks were already full of resentment and hatred, staring at the four masters who were frightened and stayed where they were.

Aslan was under control, and the four masters were temporarily out of danger, but they didn't feel that they were safe at all.

Everyone is smart, and his subordinates did not equip the crossbows in the army at all. The crossbows that saved their lives must have been shot by a third party.

And the opponent is obviously an enemy, not a friend. Under the current situation, there is only one possibility for the identity of the opponent, and that is that they belong to the same force as the cavalry who attacked the camp.

This is not necessarily a good thing for them.

Before they figured out the relationship, several men in black came out from the darkness, four of them came in front of the four of them, and the remaining two came in front of Aslan on the ground and controlled him .

"Come with us."

The leader of the men in black said something to the four of them with a cold expression.

Immediately after the four of them answered, the rest of the men in black had stepped forward and tied them up with ropes.

The four of them didn't resist, and were tied up obediently. This was the only way they could choose at present.

As soon as Aslan saw these black-clothed men, he immediately knew that these must be the people who secretly attacked him just now, and in an instant the door opened wide, and all kinds of obscenities spit out from his mouth towards the black-clothed men Roaring and roaring at the top of his voice!

Regarding his reaction, the men in black didn't care, and went about their own business. After stopping his bleeding, they tied him up tightly. The people in black turned a deaf ear to all kinds of foul language.

To be able to do their job, the most important thing is to calm down and do things with the calmest mind, so as to get twice the result with half the effort.

As far as the foul words that Aslan spit out, they couldn't stir up any waves in their hearts.

"Are you finished?"

Suddenly one of the men in black asked a question in Tatar to Aslan who was still yelling at him. Aslan was startled when he heard the words, but before he could say anything, the man in black continued: "If Now that you're done, just be quiet for a while."

"what?"

Aslan was at a loss as to what he said, but soon he only felt his eyes go dark and then lost consciousness.

Behind him, a man in black skillfully withdrew his hand. Obviously, he was the one who gave Aslan a hand knife and knocked him unconscious just now.

In the camp, the black-armored knights were still besieging the Tatars of Jiamubu and the fellows of the four families in the camp.

The Tatar cavalrymen were massacred under the most unprepared conditions. Most of the Song folks from the four families reacted and squatted down with their heads in their hands and shouted to surrender. The black armored cavalry did not Go ahead and kill them all.

And some clever Tatars also knelt down with their heads in their hands and shouted to surrender in broken Song official dialect, but the black armored cavalry still just rode past, and then a big head flew high. Obviously they did not want to accept the Tatars. The surrender of the Tartars.

The turmoil lasted all night, and when it was daylight, the entire camp fell into silence again. All the corpses in the camp had been collected and burned to prevent the outbreak of disease. There was only a mess left in the camp, and all kinds of burnt bodies were left. A few pieces of charred black cloth tents were laid down, all kinds of sundries were scattered everywhere, and there was not even a place to step down.

Outside the camp, Ding Hongguang walked in slowly on a horse. Lu Yan, who had been busy all night, hurried to report when he saw the Shangguan coming.

"Commander, the battle is over. The 599 Tatars in the camp, except for the Tatar leader who was taken away by the dark guards last night, the other [-] people were all put to death. Now their heads have been concocted, and their soldiers are setting up a fortress. Look, it must be completed in another half an hour!"

After listening to Lu Yan's report, Ding Hongguang nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Have you finished counting all the supplies in the camp?"

"After counting, there are 5 yuan of tea bricks, [-] dans of salt, about [-] shi of various grains, nearly [-] iron pots, [-] sets of coal stove sets, and [-] sets of cotton-padded clothes!"

"That's all?"

After listening to Lu Yan's report, Ding Hongguang was shocked. These things are really a lot for an individual, but for the two forces, it can only be said that these things are not enough.

He hurriedly asked, "Have you counted the gold and silver brought by the Tatars?"

Lu Yan immediately replied: "It's been counted! It's about 70 taels of silver!"

"hiss!"

Ding Hongguang immediately took a deep breath. This is 70 silver, and the annual tax revenue of the imperial court is only [-] million guan.

70 taels of silver, almost one percent of the imperial court's annual tax revenue!

One percent, this is one percent of the annual tax revenue of the entire imperial court!

The military salary of the Northwest Frontier Army is only 500 million yuan a year, which can support a full 50 Frontier Army!

Here, the 70 taels of silver are actually exchanged for such a small amount, which is simply huge profits!More than ten times the huge profits!
Ding Hongguang's eyes were red. No wonder so many people risked their heads to smuggle. The profits were astonishing!It's scary!
Shaking his head hurriedly to get rid of the greed in his mind, Ding Hongguang hastily ordered: "Order people to strictly guard these gold and silver materials, and record all things and silver in the book without missing a single penny. It's asking!"

"Yes! My subordinates obey!"

Seeing Shangguan's serious expression, Lu Yan didn't dare to neglect, so she hurried down to make arrangements.

Soon at noon, everything was finally arranged, and the knights who went out to chase the remaining 400 people finally came back before noon, and Zassia finally managed to bring them with him based on his familiarity with the grassland. In the end, more than a dozen people fled back to the grassland.

The first battalion of guards rested in the nameless valley for one night, and returned to Yunzhou City early the next morning with a full harvest.

On the other hand, the dark guards had escorted the two parties involved in this cross-border transaction back to Yunzhou City one day in advance.

That night, Zhao Jun met the two parties in the Yunwang Mansion, which was almost completed...
