Chapter 337: The Secret Behind It!
Chapter 337
The combination of forty real martial arts veterans, the effect is immediate. The turbulent circles of the aura of true martial arts were like steel, and everywhere they passed, camps collapsed one after another.
The encirclement and suppression campaign is almost over, and we will soon be able to "teach in class". But in Wang Chong's mind, it was the last words of the big cannibal that turned over and over again.
Wang Chong just tried to ask a lot. Unexpectedly, he actually got something useful from the mouth of the big cannibal.
"Did the guy say something?"
A faint lotus leaf-like fragrance came from behind, Bai Siling checked the big food master, and walked over from behind.
Bai Siling is more interested in Wang Chong now than in the battle to exterminate bandits and the master of food.
"It seems that this incident is indeed related to the Tibetans in Uzbekistan."
Wang Chong came back to his senses and didn't hide anything, so he said what Ma Song told him and what the big cannibal said before he died.
That big cannibal was originally the bodyguard of some kind of big food rich businessman, but unexpectedly, the rich businessman was robbed and killed, and this big food expert survived by luck.
Because Datang's military strength was too strong, and he had no means of making a living, he simply became a bandit and became a bandit.
It is hoped that enough money can be raised to return to the distant Dashi.
However, due to his solitude and taboo against the regular army of the imperial court, he has not gained much. Until not long ago, I met a Tibetan from Uzbekistan.
The other party promised that as long as he followed his instructions, not only would he be able to help send him back to Dashi, but he would also be given a ticket to redeem his death.
"Redemption ticket?"
A look of surprise flashed in Bai Siling's eyes.
"Well, it is said to be a bodyguard, but it is actually a slave. The master is dead, but the slave who sticks to the duty of guarding is alive. In Dashi, he will be sentenced to death. Even if he goes back, he will die."
Wang Chong said.
The hierarchy of the Great Cannibal is much stricter than that of Datang, and the slave trade is prevalent there. In this regard, Bai Siling had no contact with her, so naturally she didn't understand.
Bai Siling was thoughtful,
But he didn't ask.
"Did he say what that Uzbek Tibetan looks like?"
"No. He can distinguish Uzbek Tibetans, Turkic people, and Western Regions people. The other party just asked him to come here, and didn't limit his actions. He just said that he should be as active as possible during this time, so as to cause trouble for Datang .He and the bandits don’t understand the language, or even communicate.”
Wang Chong said.
"What are these Tibetans in Uzbekistan thinking? Do they think this will cause trouble for us?"
Bai Siling looked puzzled. The behavior of the Tibetans in Uzbekistan seemed very strange to her.
"Hehe, although I don't know their real purpose. But the imperial court and the Holy Emperor have always attached great importance to the westbound road. If bandits and horse bandits are rampant and frequently active on the westbound road, it will have a negative impact on Tang's trade activities. It is very harmful. If it continues, those Hu merchants, Dashi, and Tiaozhi merchants may reduce or directly cancel their plans to come to Datang due to safety considerations."
"Uzang has always been hostile to the Tang Dynasty. If the Great Tang and the Western Regions are thus cut off, it will definitely be beneficial to Uzang. The only thing I can't figure out is that Uzang should understand whether His Majesty and the court are right or not. Will give up this road to the Western Regions. Uzang’s doing so can only cause some disturbance to us at most. It is impossible for the imperial court to give up here. After all, there is still an Anxi Protectorate in the Western Regions."
Wang Chong said, he was also full of doubts.
The "Silk Road" in the Western Regions is not only an economic route for commerce, but also the lifeline of the Anxi Governor's Mansion. The military affairs of the four towns of Anxi all rely on this route to deliver supplies.
As far as this is concerned, the level of harassment launched by the Uzbek Tibetans is not enough to pose a great threat.
"It's hard to say, if the imperial court doesn't pay attention to it. Maybe it is possible to succeed with Uzbek Tibetans behind the scenes. However, what is the truth? I have the same opinion as you. Uzbek Tibetans spend so much money With great energy to encourage these bandits and horse bandits to be active, it will never be as simple as just looting."
Bai Siling had a thoughtful look on her face, and Wang Chong had brought her into her thoughts unconsciously.
"By the way, Bai Siling, do you know what Uzang envoys from the capital recently came to?"
Wang Chong said abruptly.
"Are you guys kidding me? I've been in the Longwei training camp too. Things you don't even know. How could I know such things? When did you see us girls caring about politics?"
Bai Siling rolled her eyes, looking like a fool.
"Hahaha, I made a mistake. I forgot about you. You women are not interested in this at all."
Wang Chong also reacted, patted his head, and laughed.
The women around me, whether it is my cousin Wang Zhuyan, Yin Hou, including my mother and younger sister, are not very interested in politics at all.
This is a woman's "common problem".
Bai Siling obviously did the same.
The end of the battle came to an end very quickly, forty Tang cavalry veterans wiped out the cottage like a storm, and then swept away again.
No one survived in the entire cottage.
In this cottage, Wang Chong gained an additional 200,000 taels of gold, which was equivalent to Wang Chong's income from selling Wuzi steel for a month.
Including the previous gains, Wang Chong now has 700,000 taels of gold. Even if Wang Chong is now extremely wealthy, he has to admit that exterminating these bandits is really a very rewarding reward.
In the whole process, he didn't even need to make a move, he only needed to make suggestions and command. But these golds are pouring towards him continuously.
"The Silk Road is really rich. Even the bandits along the way can grow so rich, so those horse bandits don't know what they want to become rich!"
Wang Chong was filled with emotion.
No matter which time and space it is, the "Silk Road" is famous. It is a road intertwined with wealth. Wang Chong had already earned hundreds of thousands of taels just by exterminating some bandits, and these were just a drop in the bucket on the westward journey of the Silk Road.
From this point of view, one can imagine how rich the Westward Silk Road is.
On the road westward, the bandits were not a real threat. Only a few of these people had reached the realm of true martial arts.
The truly powerful ones come from the powerful horse bandits who come and go without a trace and have extremely high mobility.
This is the real threat on the westbound road.
This is also one of the important reasons why the imperial court allocated Wang Chong and his cavalry instead of infantry and archers. Horse bandits looted much more powerfully than mountain bandits, and they were much richer.
Wang Chong has already begun to look forward to how much income he can get from those horse bandits. According to this situation, even if the city of Nanzhao is twice as large, there will be no problem.
Along the way westward, Wang Chong and the others gained more and more. When Wang Chong asked Bai Siling to invest in the shares, Bai Siling was originally taking it as a joke.
Can the Bai family in Beijing be short of money?
Even the most affluent families in the capital are probably not as good as the Bai family. It's just that the Bai family has always kept a low profile and followed the strategy of keeping a low profile.
However, after following Wang Chong all the way, Bai Siling realized that she had underestimated the weight of Wang Chong's words. In a short period of time, she received 300,000 taels of gold from Wang Chong, then 400,000 taels, and 500,000 taels.
No matter how rich the Bai family is, it is impossible to ignore five hundred thousand taels of gold. And the money continues to increase substantially.
Although Bai Siling is the daughter of the Bai family and is a direct descendant, she has never tried to obtain such a large amount of wealth in just a few days.
This was almost more than what she had spent in several years.
Even if she can get so much from side support, Wang Chong's income can be imagined, and there will be more. So Bai Siling was not polite to him at all.
On the other hand, Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu are not idiots either, they have worked hard since they tasted the sweetness.
Although the harvest was far inferior to Wang Chong and the others, it was quite rich for the two of them. At least, it is absolutely impossible for the two of them to get so much wealth from the family.
The two are now trying their best to compete with Wang Chong!
As for the school lieutenant Zhang Jin, as the inspector of this operation, he is also happy to see its success. On the westbound road, a large number of bandits were wiped out.
If this continues, Wang Chong's harvest will reach an astonishing number. However, on the westbound road, nothing can be calculated so simply.
The actions of Wang Chong, Xu Qian and the others have wiped out bandits one after another, which also caused unexpected effects on the westward journey.
...
"Everyone come up!"
In the distance, on a hill hundreds of miles away from Wang Chong and the others, a burly figure more than eight feet tall, as strong as an iron tower, remained motionless. Arms as thick as a sea bowl stretched out from under the blue sleeves, facing the outside The dense crowd beckoned.
Boom!
The halo shook, and at least eight masters at the real martial arts level stepped on the sharp halo, gathered all their strength, and bombarded this burly figure from all directions with thunderous speed.
"clang!"
The eight groups of majestic Gang Qi hit the man's body, but the sound was like gold and iron, as if what was hit was not a flesh and blood body, but a huge piece of steel.
The huge anti-shock force not only blocked the attacks of the eight real martial arts masters, but also scattered the eight people's qi in one fell swoop.
In the dark, taking advantage of the moment when the stellar qi oscillates, if you look carefully, you will find that a huge black iron suit made of stellar qi suddenly emerges faintly outside the man's body.
This iron suit was suspended in the man's stellar energy, covering the man's whole body up and down, and blocked the attacks of eight real martial arts masters in one fell swoop.
"Come again!"
The burly figure's hair was loose, and he laughed loudly, showing a shocking arrogance.
