Starting from Xiaoao Jianghu to push martial arts horizontally

Chapter 23
Arms are unimaginably profitable in any era in any world, and arms in this era are cold weapons.

Guan Jiabao has secretly traded with foreign races in the grassland for hundreds of years, and the wealth he has accumulated is unimaginable.

There are tens of millions of taels of silver alone, which could have filled an entire warehouse back then.

If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of ox carts and horse-drawn carts in Guanjiabao at that time, Tian Hao would not have been able to complete the transfer quickly by himself.

Fortunately, this cesspit is big and deep. It is said that it was rebuilt with a pond. After all, there are many people in Guanjiabao, and many cattle and horses are raised to pull carts. All the feces and urine are gathered here. Not too small.

"Sure enough, they are all traitors!"

Opening a box, Yue Buqun and the others trembled with anger.

I saw that the inside was densely packed with scimitars, all of which were pure blades, without a handle or scabbard, and had been soaked in the cesspit for three years without rusting, obviously they were all rare boutiques , Judging from the gray-black color, it should be made of meteorite.

And this box of semi-finished scimitars was made by Guan Jiabao with meteorite iron secretly collected for many years.

Tian Hao saw the extraordinaryness of this box of scimitars back then, so he put them together in the cesspit and sealed them up.

The scimitar is rarely used in the Central Plains, and the grassland aliens mainly use this weapon.

Guan Jiabao has forged so many scimitars, anyone can think of them with their toes.

Originally, he had some doubts about the disciple's words. After all, Guan Jiabao had a great reputation in the past, but now that doubt has been completely dispelled.

Guan Jiabao is indeed a bunch of traitors, they deserve death!
"Damn, there are tens of millions of taels of silver here alone, plus the gold and daily expenses, Guan Jiabao can make a net profit of more than 300,000 taels a year. How many scimitars, bows and crossbows did they sell to the grassland aliens?"

A one-eyed old man had a hateful face and was also very annoyed by this.

Although they are martial arts people who do not deal with the imperial court, they also know the righteousness of the nation, and they are most ashamed of such traitors who buy the country.

Today, the amount of cash sealed up in Guanjiabao alone is so huge, it can be seen how many weapons these traitors have bought for the grassland aliens over the past century, and those grassland aliens use the weapons made by these people to invade the Central Plains and cause endless murder.

Damn these people!

"Brothers and brothers, these properties are the key to the revival of our Huashan Sect, and there is no room for loss.

This time, the old man will take away all the gold and 3 million taels of silver for the construction of Huashan Academy and future expenses. Brothers and sisters will take away the remaining silver in batches and go to all parts of the country to collect the precious medicinal materials we need for martial arts. Finish all the flowers within half a year, and return to Huashan and Qinling as soon as possible. "

Putting down the scimitar in his hand, Yue Buqun suppressed the anger in his heart, glanced at the more than [-] people present, and said solemnly.

Although there were heavy casualties in the battle of sword qi back then, it was not the only ones that were wiped out. Only he and his junior sister were left, and many senior brothers survived.

It's just that these brothers are either not qualified enough to break through to the Houtian realm, or they are seriously injured and disabled, making it difficult to make any progress in cultivation.

There are too many people in the rivers and lakes who don't want their Huashan to revive, so they discussed with many brothers and sisters at that time and decided to take people into the Qinling Mountains behind Huashan, relying on the mountain villages in it to develop silently and recruit local mountain village children.

In this way, even if the lineage that he and his wife brought were wiped out, the inheritance of the Huashan School would not be broken. This is the reason for the three caves of the cunning rabbit.

The 36 senior brothers who survived that year all took in a lot of disciples. Although their qualifications were average, they were enough to become the foundation of the sect.

The more than [-] disciples brought this time are all from those mountain villages in the Qinling Mountains. They were trained since childhood, and they are all trustworthy confidantes, who were specially brought out to transfer the treasure this time.

"Junior Sect Leader, how should I transport it out?"

An older tall man asked, and everyone was also having a headache.

There are so many treasures that if you really want to use a horse-drawn cart to transport them, a discerning person will know what they are transporting at a glance.

Not to mention that there is only one Guanjiabao within a few miles, if people think of it, it will be a big problem.

Moreover, the Guan family was the richest and most powerful family in the Guanzhong area back then. Some of them were not just a Guan family fort, and the Guan family fort was just the main branch of it. Row.

"Brother, there is no need to worry. Guan Jiabao has been doing business with foreign races for hundreds of years without being discovered. There must be a secret passage leading to the Yellow River not far away. We only need to find that secret passage to transfer the treasure silently."

Yue Buqun had a plan in mind, and that disciple had already thought about it.

Guanjiabao is located in the northern part of Guanzhong, less than ten miles away from the Yellow River. As long as it can get to the bank of the Yellow River, it can go down the river and transfer to the border of Huashan Mountain.

Tian Hao once mentioned a clue, that is, Guanjiabao has never transported coal and iron ore from the outside world, nor has it transported weapons to the outside world. Outsiders found anomalies.

Apparently there is a secret passage leading directly to the outside world in Guanjiabao, but it is a pity that Tian Hao had no time to look for that secret passage because of the rush of time.

But what is certain is that the secret passage must be near the underground forging room, so as to facilitate the forging and transfer of the forged scimitars and crossbows.

Without saying any more, according to the clues provided by Tian Hao, Yue Buqun soon came to a ruin.

This was originally the ancestral hall of Guanjiabao, but it was a pity that it was burned to ruins by the fire.

"It's here, brothers and sisters, dig!"

After finding the big rock mentioned by Tian Hao, Yue Buqun signaled to dig it.

Everyone was also unambiguous, and took out their long swords and used their inner energy to support the excavation of stones.

This huge square stone is the entrance to the underground forging room, and there are mechanisms to control it, but he guessed that the surrounding Guan family members must have destroyed it, so as not to expose the secrets inside.

You must know that mass production of weapons, crossbows and crossbows is a crime of collusion, let alone selling them to foreigners in the grassland. Once exposed, the nine clans will be implicated, and at least [-]% of the surrounding Guan family members will die.

As long as those people are not stupid, they will definitely destroy the mechanism here and let the secrets inside be buried forever.

This boulder is huge, three feet square, and an astonishing thickness of one foot. Even with 36 internal energy masters digging it, it took an hour to dig it out.

However, it is precisely because of the thickness of the boulder that no one has discovered that there is a secret passage below, otherwise experienced people can judge it from the sound by knocking on it.

"Don't go in yet, a lot of people must have died inside, let the air change, and we'll enter again tomorrow night."

Holding back a junior who was impulsive and wanted to jump in, Yue Buqun solemnly reminded him.

According to what that disciple said, there were more than [-] slaves gathered in the underground workshop built by Guanjiabao, but no news came out after the Guanjiabao tragedy.

Coupled with the fact that this boulder mechanism was artificially destroyed, one can imagine the fate of the slaves inside. They must have been murdered and silenced by the Guan family who came over afterwards, and their bodies must have been sealed inside.

Everyone had no objection, and immediately collected some firewood and threw it down to ignite it, burning the dirty air inside.

After burning like this for several hours, everyone entered the underground forging workshop with simple masks made of cotton cloth. As far as they could see, they were all bones, densely covering the entire ground.

"Guan family, sooner or later you will pay with blood!"

Looking at the endless dead bones in front of them, everyone in the Huashan faction was furious. These dead bones were obviously slaves who forged weapons for the Guan family, and they were murdered to silence them.

And this is just this generation. The Guanjiabao has been operating for hundreds of years, and the number of slaves captured is at least tens of thousands. One can imagine the final fate of those people.

Although they are not the Virgin Mary, how can people not be moved by such a tragic scene?

"Leave half of the people to explore here and collect all useful materials, especially steel, and the rest will follow the old man to the east to find secret passages."

Holding back his anger and killing intent, Yue Buqun gave the order to go east first.

Although Tian Hao didn't know where the secret passage from Guanjiabao to the Yellow River was, it must be to the east. After all, the Yellow River was to the east of Guanjiabao.

Not long after, everyone found a secret passage.
