One thousand elite Yulin Guards led by Sun Zhengheng returned to the camp in the middle of the night.
They carried blazing torches, and most of them had boxes or bulging bundles hanging on both sides of their mounts, and all of them looked excited and excited.
Looks like a fruitful return!
After the meeting, Sun Zhengheng happily told Wang Chen that their harvest this time was very great. Not only did they completely destroy the White Wolf Thieves' Nest, but they also recovered the treasure house of these horse thieves.
In addition to countless gold and silver treasures, food and medicinal materials, the Yulin Guards also seized a large number of armors, spears, bows and arrows, heavy crossbows and other weapons.
These equipments are all very sophisticated, not inferior to the standard weapons in the military, and even surpass them.
And this is obviously unusual!
Because it is impossible for ordinary horse thieves and bandits to store so many equipment and weapons, unless they have an ulterior motive.
The White Wolf Thieves are definitely not ordinary horse thieves, and these equipment also prove from another perspective that there are rumors that they are involved with Dayan.
After all, sophisticated armored weapons are not something ordinary craftsmen can create, not to mention there are so many of them!
Wang Chen's heart moved and he asked: "How do you deal with these things?"
The Yulin Guards led by Sun Zhengheng rode back and forth lightly. Apart from the visible gold and silver treasures, they could not carry any more items.
"Everything, including grain and grass, has been sealed."
Sun Zhengheng lowered his voice and said: "All the thieves have been killed and the thieves' nest has been burned down."
Wang Chen nodded: "Very good."
There is nothing wrong with Sun Zhengheng's approach.
There must be a large number of family members of thieves, old, weak, women and children staying in the thieves' den, but Wang Chen doesn't think they are innocent.
"correct."
Sun Zhengheng took a sandalwood box and handed it to Wang Chen: "Wang Taibao, this is your share."
This time, the coalition of horse-breaking thieves completely annihilated the White Wolf Bandits who had been roaming the Xihai Prairie for many years. Wang Chen's contribution was second to none.
It is natural for him to take a share of the spoils, and he must take the big head.
The wooden box that Sun Zhengheng handed to Wang Chen didn't look big, but the wealth inside was extraordinary.
Wang Chen was not polite: "Yeah."
Received it directly.
Of course, in addition to Wang Chen, the other two thousand Yulin guards who stayed at the camp also received their share of the rewards.
Everyone is happy.
The whole camp stayed awake all night.
As a result, it was not until close to noon the next day that the wedding team broke camp and set off.
The rest of the journey went smoothly, and we passed through half of the West China Sea prairie without encountering any bandits.
Seven days later, the marriage team arrived at Xihai County and stayed in this county for three days.
On the night they arrived at the county town, the heads of the three leaders of the White Wolf Bandits were hung on the flagpole in front of the city gate for public display.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the city celebrated wildly!
Over the years, white wolf bandits have frequently robbed business travelers traveling to and from the prairie, attacked local herder tribes and villages, and brought serious disasters to the people of Xihai.
The major chambers of commerce hate him even more.
Now the entire White Wolf Bandit army has been wiped out, and all three leaders have been entrusted with their heads, which has solved the serious problem in Xihai County at once.
One can imagine everyone's joy.
Therefore, when the wedding procession left the county, countless people came out of the city to see them off, and the scene was spectacular.
And Wang Chen also took away the bounty he deserved, which was as much as one million taels!
After passing the county town, the wedding team walked for another five days and left the Xihai Prairie.
Entering the territory of Hanhai County.
Hanhai County is the second largest county in Daliang, its territory is second only to Xihai County, and it is even more desolate than the latter.
All the way to the west, the grassland gradually turned into the Gobi. In the distance, mountains towered with snow-capped peaks. There was no human habitation within hundreds of miles, only some animals such as wild wolves, blue sheep, and snowshoe hares.
Inhabit it.
This border county belongs to the separation zone between Daliang and Dayan. It is also the famous place of exile in Daliang. Throughout the ages, countless criminals have been sentenced to exile in Hanhai to atone for their contributions to the country's border defense.
Due to the harsh environment and sparsely populated areas, the Heqin team did not encounter any bandits along the way.
This is not to say that there are no horse thieves in Hanhai County, but that a small group of thieves would not have the courage to approach such a huge team.
A group of big horse thieves like the White Wolf Bandits will only choose Xihai County, which is rich in water and grass.
However, half a month after the marriage team entered Hanhai County, a huge oasis at the foot of the snow-capped mountains appeared in everyone's sight.
Hanhai City has arrived!
Hanhai City is the county seat of Hanhai County, and it is also the only large city, and it has concentrated most of the population of the entire county.
This large city with hundreds of years of history is also an extremely important pass and fortress, guarding the only way to Dayan.
The reason why Daliang and Dayan have always maintained a friendly relationship is that in addition to Daqi, a common strong enemy, Hanhai City also played a big role.
Before the arrival of the marriage team, Hanhai City had already received a message from the Flying Eagle, so they were well prepared to welcome them.
After a grand welcome ceremony, the wedding procession was arranged in Mingyu Palace.
Mingyu Palace is the royal palace of Daliang, which was used by the Emperor of Daliang to inspect the border counties. However, this palace located in the center of Hanhai City has only received emperors very few times since its establishment.
After all, Hanhai County is too remote and desolate, and there are also a large number of prisoners.
However, this palace is very large and can accommodate more than 3,000 people.
According to the plan, the marriage team will rest in Hanhai City for five days before leaving the customs and passing through Baili Gorge.
After passing Baili Gorge, it is the territory of Dayan!
Since the journey in the past few days was really hard, after settling down in the palace, the Three Thousand Feather Guards also completely relaxed.
"Master Wang, Master Sun..."
A fat man with a fat head and big ears nodded and bowed to Wang Chen and Sun Zhengheng and said: "The governor sent a young man to send 300 fat sheep to reward the emperor's troops, and there are also thousands of jars of fine wine."
This fat man was obviously a merchant, and he had taken up the position of the county governor to curry favor with the princess.
Sun Zhengheng smiled and said: "The governor is so polite, then we will be disrespectful!"
The fat man bowed repeatedly: "It should, it should!"
Not only did he bring the fat sheep and wine, but he also provided chefs, cooks and servants.
So with the consent of Princess Qingyun, a bonfire was quickly set up in Mingyu Palace, and the fat sheep, skinned and washed, were placed on the fire and roasted until they were brown and oily.
A strong aroma of barbecue spread throughout the palace, making all the Yulin guards salivate!
When these fat lambs are roasted until they are eighty or nine times cooked, the chef in charge of the barbecue brings the cooking pot, grabs a lot of spices from it and sprinkles it on top, making the aroma even more attractive.
