Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 726: Pursuing the treasure that was taken away

After Chu Xiangqian hurriedly waved to Xue Jianrong and asked the soldiers from the special force to help, it was already dawn, so how could he leave?
"No, you have ten minutes to leave. Don't leave any spies behind."

After saying that, he pulled Xue Jianrong and whispered, "Brother, I'm not joking. If one of my own is caught spying, I won't be able to protect him."

Xue Jianrong nodded hurriedly. For a moment, he felt that among the people working with Chu Xiangqian, there might be people from Tianzhu senior officials and the military.

Otherwise, how could the military supplies and food from the four states be lost so easily?

Nor can it be transported to a port and shipped away so easily.

Five minutes later, Xue Jianrong led everyone out of the temple.

But before leaving, he still looked at the 95 Arabian horses with some reluctance. In his eyes, all of them were extraordinary horses.

Chu Xiangqian was very sure that his uncle was affected by what he had just said, that these horses were worth US$350,000 to US$100,000, or even more than US$100,000.

But to be honest, Arabian horses are indeed suitable as war horses.

If it can be cultivated in large quantities in China, it doesn't matter how much it is worth.

But this time he gave Lao Li tens of thousands of tons of rice and 500 tons of military supplies. Chu Xiangqian felt that he had passed the test.

The sweat horses and Arabian horses that my people collected from tribes in several Central Asian countries were basically shipped from there.

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes after hearing this, "Brother, you have a good idea. These Arabian horses are shipped to Hong Kong Island, and the best seven or eight are sent to the auction house. Each one can be sold for at least 18 US dollars." .

It would be best if these monks could be silenced.

Then I remembered the original monks of the temple.

Cultivation requires a lot of effort, so it will naturally be looked down upon more and more.

But it is only cultivated in the direction of faster speed.
-
Xue Jianrong hurriedly promised again and again that he would not send anyone to follow the cavalry.

Now that the battle is won, giving away things will inevitably cross the line.

Xue Jianrong was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out. Secretly thinking, no wonder the second brother Jianguo said that his brother-in-law is very rich.

"Are you asking me to tell the superiors?"

Xue Jianrong immediately felt that Chu Xiangqian's words had not deceived him, but he was not that easy to deceive.

Chu Qianqian smiled and nodded, "You have to show some money-making ideas to let the superiors know, so as not to lose interest in the dozen or so hard-blooded horses I gave to the country."

Before the war started, the superiors had in mind that no amount of preparation could be too much.

Otherwise, do you really think that I am God who can plunder so much food and military supplies in the four northern states with money alone? "

While nodding his head to express his thanks, Xue Jianrong suddenly felt something in his heart and grabbed Chu Qianqian's wrist, "Third brother, after these more than ninety horses carry away the gold, can they all be given to our troops as stallions?"

This is not a problem that only occurs in China. Both Arabian horses and traditional European war horses have experienced the problem of decreasing numbers of horses.

Even if one horse only costs 10,000 to 20,000 dollars, that is still one to two million dollars.

Chu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then he smiled inwardly and nodded along with his words.

To put it bluntly, it is because there is no need for cavalry to exist on a large scale in war.

But if it can't be blocked, then some method must be used to prevent them from opening their mouths.

On the contrary, England and Magnesium have been doing something to breed better horse breeds because of horse racing.

After all, while these one hundred horses are ridiculously expensive, it also means that the purchase cost cannot be low.

Last year, many dignitaries from Tianzhu and South Asia came to buy a lot of blood horses and Arabian horses from me, and we had quite a few cooperations.

“It’s not far from Central Asia and the Middle East, and I have several good collaborators in Karachi, Pakistan.

After saying that, he brought five of the most magnificent Arabian horses and gave them to Xue Jianrong and said, "Two of these five horses will be given to Commander Li and Zhao Zhengwei.

Then, with a thought in his heart, he pulled him and whispered, "You mean, you originally planned to transport these horses to Hong Kong Island for auction?"

From the 50s to the 70s, there was always an effort to breed war horses. Unfortunately, the number has not increased, but has been decreasing.

Now seeing that Chu Xiangqian specially asked him to send two horses to the commander and the witness committee, he didn't know that these horses were better.

Xue Jianrong was overjoyed. When he looked at the hundreds of Arabian horses through the torch just now, he felt that these horses were no worse than the 150 quarter horses sent by Chu Xiangqian before.

Now it seems that it is not just rich, but super rich.

Chu Qianqian frowned and quickly understood what his uncle meant.

Of the remaining three horses, you have one, and the other two are up to you. "

After leaving yesterday morning with a dozen mules and an unknown amount of gold, the dozen monks never came back.

Others cost US$350,000 to US$350,000 per horse at least. I'll give it all to you, and I won't have to pay for it with my life. "

But Xue Jianrongli still whispered this matter to Chu Qianqian.

He smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I'll let someone take care of it."

The few remaining guards had already run away after seeing the scouts.

It's a pity that war horses have been eliminated by the war long ago.

Fortunately, the 14.7 tons of gold in the temple this time was discovered by the scouts of the troops going south. It was reasonable to give some profit to Lao Li.

Xue Jianrong opened his mouth, and when Chu looked forward, he knew that his uncle wanted to get some sponsorship for the plateau troops.

Besides, things are landed from Hong Kong Island and then transported into southern Guangdong. It is doubtful whether these tens of thousands of tons of rice and 500 tons of materials will reach Lao Li in the end.

The final decision is actually made by the superiors.

As for when Lao Li returns to Beijing and comes to see Xue Jianrong in the future, it is disguised as asking him for food and supplies. At worst, he can just treat him to a drink.

Or simply shift the responsibility to the boss. With Li Yunlong's character, he would definitely get some moderate benefits from making a fuss and get over it.
-
Chu sent Qianqian away. His uncle, who was somewhat reluctant to part with the 95 Arabian horses, asked Titmouse to explore the surroundings again and again. Even stingrays and two hunting dogs were sent out.

After confirming that except for a few monks lying on the cliff in the distance, there was no special force soldier around, he entered the temple treasure house and took the 14.7 tons of gold directly into the Novice Village warehouse.

Da Zhuang and Hong Niu, on the other hand, had already taken advantage of the darkness to sneak in behind the monks.

The two hunting dogs now look like dogs, but in fact they are monsters like tyrannosaurs.

Not only is its real speed far faster than that of a cheetah, its strength is also eight or nine times that of an ordinary hunting dog.

Even though these Tianzhu monks had knives and guns in their hands, under the sneak attack of two hunting dogs, they had no chance to take out their guns or draw their knives. Their necks were bitten off or they were directly knocked away five or six meters, and then they were beaten by two A hunting dog chased him and killed him.

Chu Xiangqian has always been very cruel to people who are not Chinese, and he doesn't care at all about the identities and professions of these people.

After Da Zhuang and Hong Niu got rid of the spy, Chu Qianqian walked out of the temple, took out empty boxes from the novice village and put them on the horses, and then took out some iron ore and put them in the boxes.

In order to prevent the footprints left by the horses on the dirt road from appearing a bit shallow. An hour later, Chu Qianqian rode his horse, leading the way. Behind him, Da Zhuang and Hong Niu drove the horse team connected by reins to the west.

Dalhao City is not far from the border between Tianzhu and Laoba. The horse team only walked for more than 3 hours. When the sky got slightly brighter, they entered Laoba's area.

Moreover, the area Chu Xiangqian chose was a hilly area. Not only was it deserted, but even the border guards would not patrol here.

Five or six kilometers into the area where Lao Ba belonged, Chu Xiangqian passed the tit and made sure there was no one around, and then he took all 95 Arabian horses back to the stables in Xinshou Village.

Those boxes containing iron ore were found in a cave in a valley, and they planned to bury them all in the cave.

But when I saw these hundreds of boxes, I started to hesitate again.

These boxes that used to contain gold coins and gold utensils can actually be regarded as antiques, but unfortunately they are not as luxurious as the treasure boxes in the temple treasures of Kerala.

The box over there is not only inlaid with gold and silver patterns, but also decorated with many jewels.

A box is no worse than jewelry.

But the temple outside Dalhou City was just an ordinary wooden box. Although the workmanship was good, when Chu reached forward and touched the box, he only got +2+3 gold coupons, which showed that these boxes were not valuable.

So Chu Qianqian hesitated for a moment and decided to bury the box together.

If it is used to trick people in the future, these boxes alone can scare the opponent.

Of course, once the box is opened, the secret is revealed.

But even so, there are still many articles that can be done.
-
After filling up the pit and making some marks around it, Chu Qianqian mounted his horse and galloped back to a few kilometers outside the Dalhao Temple in less than an hour.

I casually replaced the horse that had been running for an hour from Novice Village.

Astride a new horse, trotting around, keeping an eye on the road and searching.

After ten minutes, we finally found the mules and horses’ footprints left by the monks who had left with a dozen mules and twenty boxes the day before yesterday.

Since 14.7 tons of gold were left behind, the things taken away by the monks must be more precious than gold.

If Chu Xiangqian didn't know, it would be better to tell him.

Now that we know there are these treasures, there is no reason not to pursue them.

Chu Xiangqian learned tracking skills in Novice Village. There were tits in the sky and two hunting dogs on the ground.

Tracking all the way, at around 11 o'clock at noon, I rode eastward on horseback and trotted for four or five hours. During this period, I also changed horses and traveled at least a hundred kilometers.

Only then did he see a temple standing on the top of the mountains from a distance.

He immediately guessed that there was a high probability of a treasure trove in this temple.

What he didn't expect was that Titmouse was observing the temple.

I actually found 12 people in Tianzhu military uniforms, but holding semi-automatic or fully automatic weapons in their hands, lying on the top of the mountain not far from the temple, on another hill, looking towards the temple.

Chu Xiangqian didn't even need to send Huang Mao'er there. With the Type 9 and weapons alone, he was % sure that these people should be from the Celestial Dynasty.

And 12 people are exactly the configuration of a class.

He could even imagine that these people were most likely the Celestial Warriors sent here by that guy Li Yunlong, following the monk's footsteps and quietly following over to see what was going on.

The purpose was nothing more than the same as his own, eyeing the treasures taken away by the dozen mules.

What the soldiers in this class didn't expect was that the monks would enter another temple.

A strong attack would definitely be no problem. Just mobilize a company and set up mortars, and you can break through the temple's defenses in a few hits.

Even if there is no support, just relying on 12 of them to carry out a sneak attack can drive people crazy within three to five days.

If the superiors find out, Li Yunlong may have to be dismissed from his post.

So obviously it won't work.

If you want to steal the treasure house quietly, you have to be someone like Chu Qianqian who has a lot of knowledge to steal dozens or dozens of tons of gold, jewelry and goldware.

But those rules and regulations were of no use to Chu Xiangqian.

If he is angered, he will do anything to the people in the temple.

What Chu Xiangqian didn't actually know was that the first target of the soldiers in this class was not actually the treasure taken away by the monks.
-
Chu Xiangqian took the time to ignore the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty and let the tits fly into the temple on the top of the mountain for observation. At the same time, the little guy Huang Miaoer was also released by him and flew towards the temple.

As long as there is a treasure house in the temple, it cannot escape the stingray's detection.

When the time comes, let the little mink dig a hole, and it won't take much effort to create a burglary hole.

Even if it's all rocks, it just takes a little more time.
-
After releasing the stingray and tit, Chu Xiangqian was fine for the time being and simply took the horse into the Novice Village.

Soak comfortably in the fountain, take a bath, drink wine and eat meat, while looking through the eyes of tits and the ears of stingers.

Listen and watch what is going on in the temple.

But as I listened, I found that I couldn't understand what those monks were saying.

Chu Xiangqian quickly noticed something unusual.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally came to my senses. This place is very close to the plateau.

The words spoken by these monks may be in Plateau dialect.

In desperation, Chu Xiangqian had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​obtaining information about the treasure house from the monks' mouths, and let Huang Miao find the treasure house on his own.

Fortunately, this mink is only the size of a mouse, so even if someone sees it, it won't matter.

After groping inside and outside the temple several times, the underground treasure house was not found, but Huang Miaoer still found clues.

It looks quite luxurious in one place, but there is a lot of dust accumulated on the carpet.

Chu Xiangqian just thought about it for a moment and felt that the dust contained therein was most likely left by the soles of ordinary monks who were carrying boxes.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian immediately directed the tits to fly into the room, and then while looking at the decoration and layout of the room, he directed the yellow mink to search around.

It didn't take much time to find something unusual in the fireplace.

Fortunately, the two front paws of the stingray were as flexible as human arms. When the mechanism was turned, a tunnel was revealed behind the fireplace for the two of them to walk together.

At the same time that the stingray jumped in, Chu Xiangqian also directed the tit to fly in.

Soon I saw about twenty wooden boxes that were the same as the treasures in the temple outside Dalhao City.

Then came a dozen treasure boxes containing scriptures and jewelry, and a small group of piles of gold consisting of hundreds of gold nuggets.

After silently calculating, Chu Qianqian couldn't help but frown.
