Chapter 1399 Artificial Breeding
Dongming Ziyu made a war-preparing gesture for everyone, telling everyone to take cover and not even want to check the entrance of the cave.
After a while, Mo Xiang came back and said, "Master, the entrance to the cave is behind those pine trees covered with snow lotus insects."
Shangguan Ruoli asked Dongming Ziyu: "Should we go back first, or should we just break in and take a look? After all, we don't know the situation in the cave yet. But if we leave like this and our traces are discovered, I'm afraid it will
To alert the snake."
Dongming Ziyu was born with a fearless temperament, "Then go into the cave and have a look. There won't be too many people in this environment."
So, everyone took out their weapons and powder and got ready.
Don't expect to find the mechanism at the entrance of the cave. The big rock with several pine trees moved down, revealing a cave entrance that only allowed one person to enter.
Then, with a sudden "hoo", like poking a bee's nest, a group of white snow lotus worms poured out from the entrance of the hole.
"Wow! So many snow lotus insects!" Shangguan Ruoli's eyes were filled with little stars. In her eyes, these are all precious medicinal materials!
Bai Qingqing said that a few snow lotus insects are worth a lot of money. So many, how much money are they worth?
He hurriedly took out the net bag Bai Qingqing had prepared, waved it around, and collected a lot.
Dongming Ziyu also took out his net bag to help, and also caught a lot.
The two of them had gained a lot here, but Mo Xiang had taken An Yi into the cave first.
They wear isolation suits, masks and protective goggles. No matter how many snow lotus insects there are, they can't hurt them.
The cave is not small, and there are not many people inside, only about twenty people.
Their martial arts skills were not very good, and the secret guards killed everyone and captured prisoners in less than a quarter of an hour.
Shangguan Ruoli checked the situation of the cave. There were wooden boxes placed beside the cave, and there were snow lotus insects hovering around them.
Shangguan Ruoli opened the box and took a look, "Oh, isn't this a beehive? But it's just snow lotus insects."
Dongming Ziyu also sighed and said: "I didn't expect that there are people who actually raise snow lotus insects."
A man dressed as a mountain man rolled his eyes and said with a stern expression: "Who are you? We just raise snow lotus insects and sell them to pharmacies to make some hard money."
"Really?" Mo Wen chuckled, "Raise snow lotus insects and bring twenty guards with you?"
Except for two men who were the same as the two mountain men, the rest were all sturdy men. Under the clothes of ordinary mountain men, they were wearing uniform uniforms. They should be guards or soldiers.
The mountain man rushed to Bai and said: "They are not guards, they are helpers! Such precious insects as snow lotus worms are not easy to raise."
Mo Wen sneered, "A helper? With a sword? Not bad at all?"
The man also tried to quibble, "These snow lotus insects like mine are very precious! Of course I have to find someone who is skilled to watch them!"
Mo Wen pinched open a person's mouth, punched him, and knocked out a tooth containing a poison sac. "Do ordinary people have this stuff hidden in their teeth?"
When the others looked at it, their faces turned white. It was too late to bite the poison sac. Their mouths were pried open and the poison sac was taken out.
Dongming Ziyu said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense to them here, take them back for interrogation."
Shangguan Ruoli looked at the big boxes and said: "Leave a few people to tidy up the place. We have to wait and see for two days. Some of the snow lotus insects that flew out will come back. Maybe some companions will come to find us."
The man's eyes flashed in panic, and he said angrily: "I don't know who they are. Anyway, I am just an ordinary person. I figured out a way to raise snow lotus insects and want to make some money! Are you robbers? This is
Robbery?"
Mo Wen smiled and said, "It's just a robbery, what can you do?"
The man's face darkened and he closed his mouth.
Mo Wen ordered several secret guards: "Throw the body off the cliff and take the rest back. There are no mouths that I can't pry open!"
It was getting late outside and it was not safe to be on the mountain at night. Shangguan Ruoli asked someone to fill the two glass bottles he carried with him with snow lotus worms and then went down the mountain.
For the rest, I will ask someone to bring more bottles tomorrow to take away the snow lotus worms.
This trip was not in vain, not to mention those suspicious people, the snow lotus insects alone were harvested quite a lot.
Going down the mountain is relatively fast, and when we get to the bottom of the mountain, it's not dark yet.
Unexpectedly, Young Master He's servant was really waiting at the foot of the mountain. When he saw a few people coming down, his eyes lit up.
"Benefactor! Hero! I've been waiting for you!"
Shangguan Ruoli's lips twitched, but he was still there. Fortunately, he left with the captured secret guard from another place.
An San stepped forward and said, "Brother, why haven't you gone back yet? How is your young master doing?"
The boy hurriedly said: "Thanks to some heroes, Young Master He has been sent to Dr. Bai. The younger one stays here and waits for our benefactors. Otherwise, my master will beat him to death if he neglects his benefactors."
our."
After hearing this, it turns out that Mr. He is still a kindhearted person.
Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "Let's go back to the city first."
They still have to interrogate the prisoner, so they don't have time to waste time here.
"Okay, my benefactors, please come!" the young man said and hurriedly made way out.
The group of people mounted their horses and when they arrived at the city gate, they saw a steward-looking man waiting at the gate with two young men.
The young boy from the He family called out: "Butler!"
Then he said to Dongming Ziyu: "I asked the young master's friend to send a letter to my family. The master has sent the butler to pick up my benefactor."
Then, he said to the steward: "These are the heroes who saved the young master."
The chief butler is also well-informed. With just a few glances, he can tell that these people are Zhong Ming Ziyu, who is in charge.
Then he saluted: "I've met my benefactors! My master went to the hospital and asked me to come and greet my benefactors."
Dongming Ziyu nodded slightly, "How is your young master?"
The chief steward said: "Doctor Bai said that fortunately the poisonous insects were driven away early and he took antidote pills, otherwise he would have been crazy for several days. If he was in poor health, he might have tortured people to death! My master is very grateful to my benefactor for saving his life.
I am grateful for my kindness, so I specially asked the young one to come here to greet my benefactor."
Once they see how sincere they are, they no longer reject people thousands of miles away.
Moreover, before coming, they also investigated the situation in Mozhen.
The He family is one of the largest households in the border area, and it has made a fortune rapidly since the establishment of the Mozhen Trading Market more than ten years ago.
The business involves leather goods, grain, medicinal materials, jewelry, seafood, etc.
The market in the mainland is occupied by some big aristocratic families. The He family has little ability to penetrate, but it occupies a large share of the market near the border. And its business has also reached Beiling and Xirong.
It just so happened that they were going to travel to Beiling and Xirong pretending to be merchants. If they could borrow the east wind from the He family, it would be better than a strange caravan.
The chief steward followed the group back to the rented compound and thanked them again.
Finally, he took out a few large-denomination silver notes and said, "This is what our master asked me to give to you two, five thousand taels of silver. I would like to thank my benefactor for saving our young master's life. I hope you two will not refuse!"
When the young master's condition stabilizes, he will personally come to thank you."
