The guard generals in the bandit gathering hall were stunned.
Su Lu's eyes lit up, and in an instant, all the puzzling aspects of the recent war suddenly became clear.
Why did the Thule people suddenly increase their offensive against Xuanfu this year and did not withdraw their troops during this season of fertile pasture?
The Tule people, who had never been good at luring moles to surrender, actually went around recruiting bandits to surrender within the Xuanfu territory. There were even moles among the senior officials of the Xuanfu Jiedu Mansion.
Everything has an answer, all because of this treasure.
Su Lu's expression remained normal and he continued to ask, "Where is the treasure from the previous dynasty?"
"In the valley where Erlong Mountain and Yangsha Mountain meet, a mudslide broke through a corner of the underground palace, and we discovered the treasure from the previous dynasty."
Li Guozhi spoke slowly. There was no expression of fear, annoyance, or anger on his face. It was just a dull expression, with not much emotion visible.
Zhao Pu was a little moved, and asked in a low voice: "Have you finished digging out the treasures from the previous dynasty? Is there anything else inside?"
Li Guozhi chuckled: "If we haven't finished digging, do you think you guys can attack Erlong Mountain?"
Su Ping came up and gave Li Guozhi a kick, knocking him to the ground, and asked sternly: "Who asked you to talk like this? Do you know who this is? He is the Commander-in-Chief of the Dingxiang Army, a nobleman of the capital, and a young hero."
"Tell me, where are the other treasures?"
Li Guozhi laughed: "Of course it was shipped away. Do you want to know where it was shipped to?"
Several guard generals suddenly poked their heads over, their eyes gleaming, and they looked like they would pounce on him at any moment.
Li Guozhi suddenly laughed, looked at Su Lu, and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you know that I have collapsed now?"
"I grew up in a bandit village. I was taught swords, guns and sticks, and ate stolen food. When I grew up, I also worked as a slave in the bandit village. Later, relying on luck, step by step, I became the second boss.
.”
"I am alive only because of Erlong Mountain. Now that Erlong Mountain has fallen, my eldest brother has been killed by you, and all the Tule people have been captured by you. You have also discovered the treasure of the previous dynasty. Erlong Mountain is really over."
"What is the purpose of living?"
Li Guozhi had a look of collapse on his face, as if he was crazy, and he laughed.
"Drag it down and chop it up."
Su Lu gave the order, and with Zhao Pu's puzzled eyes, he watched the two guards drag Li Guozhi out and chop him in front of the Juyi Hall.
Several captains of Dingxiang Army looked very unhappy, and some even glared at Su Lu angrily. Such a huge treasure was cut off by Su Lu like this.
"Seal these golds up to one tael or less, take them back, and hand them over to the princess's palace."
Su Lu said in a calm tone, his face full of caution.
Zhao Pu was a little confused. Could it be that Su Lu wanted to swallow this gold? This completely shattered his glorious image of greatness in his heart.
The great poet, the famous person who composed the poem, among the poems I have read, is the only one that can compare with the poem "Get up in the morning and walk early", but he is also greedy for money.
Sun Buzong jumped out: "Captain Su, it doesn't matter if you say anything about this matter. In terms of official position, our Governor Zhao Pu is the eldest. In terms of age, General Yang Tongshan is more than enough to be your father. It doesn't matter if you say what to do with this gold."
Su Lu's expression changed, he looked at Sun Buzong, his tone was full of playfulness: "Are you sure, what I said here does not count?"
Zhao Pu suddenly stood up and slapped Sun Buzong in the face, his voice full of anger:
"Sun Buzong, I think you are enjoying your career as a captain. If you want to experience the life of a big-headed soldier, get out of here."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Pu turned to Su Lu with a smile on his face, and his respectful attitude made the surrounding guards officers almost drop their eyes to the ground. In the past, Governor Zhao had a higher eye than Luo Du, a guy who even Luo Du didn't look down on.
, to actually give such face to a young captain.
A guard hurriedly entered the Juyi Hall and said in a loud voice: "Report, Lieutenant, we found the silver cellar of the bandits in Erlong Mountain."
Su Lu waved his hand, motioning for Zhao Pu to sit down, and then asked the guard who reported the news.
"Have you counted the amount? Approximately how much silver is there and how much money?"
The messenger had a respectful look and a happy face. He knew that the captain asked this question because he was preparing to divide the money. Last time, the captain overestimated the amount of silver and it was not enough to be divided equally among the brothers. Later, he scanned several cottages in succession before dividing the money.
Get the quantity together.
"Colonel Li Kun judged that there should be eighty thousand taels of silver, tens of millions of money, and countless other gems and pearls."
A group of people all looked at Su Lu, their faces full of demands. They couldn't hand it in again this time.
Su Lu waved his hand: "Ten taels of silver per person, 10,000 yuan, and the rest of the gems and pearls will be sealed and taken back to the county captain's office."
A group of guards officers were a little disappointed. They only had ten taels of silver. Although it was enough for ordinary people to live a good life, for junior officers like them, it was not enough for a dinner party or a trip to the Eight Great Alleys.
Soon, the news spread, and there were bursts of cheers from all the guard camps.
Most of the guardsmen's sergeants were from poor families. Ten taels of silver was not a small amount for an ordinary family, let alone one hundred thousand. This time, they could send more money home.
Lieutenant Su was a good general. When he was following Zhao Pu, he fought many battles, but they had never received so much money.
All the gold and precious items were sealed up, and the guards cooperated with the civilians to load them into carts and drag them back to Beiyang for disposal.
With the bandits from Erlong Mountain taking the lead, no bandits would dare to jump out and rob Su Lu's things along the way.
When the team returned to the Nanguan Camp, it was already dark. The guards who stayed behind were cleaning up the barracks. When they saw the Su Lu grain transport team returning, Guo Dashan, who was guarding the barracks door, jumped up with excitement.
"Captain, please wait a moment. I will invite my master to come over."
Su Lu felt unhappy when he heard this. Although I know you are Li Qing's man, you are so upright and embarrassing in front of the Commander-in-Chief of the Dingxiang Army. I'm so angry.
Li Qing came very quickly, because after hearing Guo Dashan talk about Su Lu's gains this time, he put down what he was doing and took He Wu directly to the Nanguan camp.
"So many things seized!"
Li Qing looked at the boxes and cages all over the school grounds and was so surprised that she was almost speechless. She grew up in the royal family and had never seen anything like this before. But she had never seen anything like this.
Opening a box casually, Li Qing asked and said: "There is...gold in this!"
Looking at the boxes full of gold, Li Qing had only one thought in his mind: Su Lu dug the mine there!
He Wu opened the boxes one by one, gold, silver, copper coins, pearls, agate, gems...
While He Wu was opening the box, Su Lu had already told Li Qing the whole story. Li Qing nodded repeatedly and agreed with Su Lu's approach.
He Wu finally finished watching The Box and the Cage and danced with his hands and feet: "Su Lu, you are such a lucky general. You can make money wherever you go. This time..."
"This time I want to hand it over to General Huaihua and Xuanfu Jiedufu."
Su Lu interrupted He Wu's words and spoke seriously.
Zhao Pu's Dingxiang Army was involved in the annihilation of the bandits in Erlong Mountain this time. The Dingxiang Army was not an ordinary army. It had roads leading to the sky. Su Lu dared to intercept these captures.
Besides, when it comes to the treasures of the previous dynasty, no one knows what the emperor's attitude will be. If the emperor is suspicious enough, no one who has come into contact with the treasures will survive.
I still gave it to Li Qing, which made her happy and also got rid of this hot potato. For me, it was a hot potato, but for Li Qing, that was a great achievement.
He Wu was so depressed that his head hurt. Su Lu couldn't have had a brain injury. He handed it over, so much gold!
But think about it, if Su Lu didn't hand it over and was intercepted, He Wu would stop talking. This was a treasure from the previous dynasty.
Looking at the boxes of gold sadly, He Wu decided to find something to do for himself.
Thinking that his work was not finished yet, He Wu asked Li Qing and said:
"Sir, do you want to put out your poetry table for tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Poetry Party?"
