Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong was not at all worried that these people would guess what he was going to do.

Black gunpowder was actually recorded in history in the Tang Dynasty, but even if it was earlier, there is no problem. This village is all illiterate, and even the military advisers can only write names. How do they know what gunpowder is?

Perhaps because his attitude was too calm, the robbers did not doubt even though they were surprised.

As a military strategist, he thought a little more. Originally, he was skeptical about the treasure, but when Xiao Zirong's key formula came out, he was relieved. Because this key was too mysterious, the other party There is nothing to fear at all, even if they know the whereabouts of the treasure, it is useless.

Xiao Zirong actually didn't care whether they believed it or not. To be honest, sometimes it's easy to fool the illiterate. As long as you know the other party's context, it's not a problem at all to fool you.

Think about the ancient alchemists who can fool even a hero like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He just fooled a few bandits. What's the problem?

In order to be realistic, he even asked the leader of the robbers to get a pen and paper, and he wanted to draw a map.

The leader of the robbers originally looked at Xiao Zirong very itchy, especially when the other party laughed, and wanted to do something, but he was afraid that if he did it, the treasure would be gone.

He is well aware of the temper of these scholars, they would rather kill than humiliate.

After thinking about it, he could only regretfully prepare to wait until he got the treasure.

And how could Xiao Zirong fail to see that the leader of the robbers had evil intentions?That disgusting look made him want to vomit, so in order to stabilize the other party, he drew the treasure map slowly.

The leader of the robbers saw that he was drawing too slowly and tried several times, but Xiao Zirong fudged him and went back. His reason was also very reasonable: "The directions on the treasure map must be precise. You must know that we are not the only ones who are looking for this treasure." , Those people’s property is bigger than ours, so what we can do is to find it quickly while we are not prepared, and then take it away, so we can’t make any mistakes, even if the painting is finished, I still need to investigate it.”

The robber leader was taken aback by him, but the military master was not stupid, and said to the robber leader in a low voice: "Now the treasure map can't see the outline, and it's useless for us to get it. Why don't you send two people to look at it?" Follow this kid."

The leader of the robbers hesitated: "But what if I make him unhappy?"

The military adviser had no choice but to say, "Don't be so obvious, why don't you choose two good-looking and clean ladies and send them there? If he likes those two, maybe we don't need to bother to win them over."

The leader of the robbers laughed and said, "Sure enough, you still have a way." After speaking, he suddenly frowned: "But this way is not easy."

The military adviser was a little surprised, thinking that the head of his family was finally willing to use his brain and couldn't help asking: "What does the head of the family mean..."

The leader of the robbers smacked his lips and said: "There is no young lady in our village who is more beautiful than that young gentleman."

military adviser:……

It seems... Oh yes.

The military adviser closed his eyes: "No matter how good-looking he is, he can't be with me... right? Choose two first, or let him choose by himself if he doesn't like it!"

So one day after dark, when Xiao Zirong was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard movement at the door of the room.

Suddenly, his heart raised his throat, thinking that the leader of the robbers couldn't help but want to be tough. He looked around, and the only thing in his room that could be used as a weapon now was the inkstone.

Something else... The leader of the robbers actually regarded him as a loot, so how could he give him a sharp weapon?Even the utensils he uses are made of wood.

Just when Xiao Zirong got out of bed to touch the inkstone, he heard someone outside say: "Xiao Langjun, the head of the family sent me two to serve Xiao Langjun, and asked Xiao Langjun to open the door."

Xiao Zirong was stunned for a moment, the voice...it sounded like a girl, and she should not be very old.

Almost instantly, many possibilities came to his mind. For example, the leader of the robbers wanted to win him over with beauty when he saw him alone, or sent a beauty over to be a spy.

Anyway, if it was Xiao Zirong, he would definitely do this when he met such a worried person who couldn't be treated roughly.

Xiao Zirong put down the inkstone, cleared his throat and said, "I don't need anyone to serve me, you go first."

The little lady outside the door begged softly: "Little Lang, please let us in."

Xiao Zirong was silent for a while, and suddenly remembered some pictures he saw when he first came to the village that day. Although he has been active in the innermost area of ​​the village,... this village is not rich, and the house is naturally not very good. The characters also live around here, so he's often forced to hear some noises at night.

Generally speaking, there are few things you love and I wish, and most of them are involuntary.

Xiao Zirong reckoned that if he refused too harshly, the two young ladies might not be able to please them, so he went over and opened the door to take a look. Looks like one or two years old.

A girl of this age was originally the age when she was loved by her parents, but now...

Xiao Zirong's hatred for the robbers deepened, and he said softly, "It's too late today, come back tomorrow morning, if anyone asks, just say I said it."

The two young ladies stared at Xiao Zirong for a moment, they were actually sent here with some tricks, otherwise they wouldn't be able to be perfect at this age.

This village is a hell for women, no matter how big it is.

Originally, the two of them thought that they had to complete this task no matter what, so that they could live a better life.

But after seeing the young gentleman bathed in the moonlight, they were suddenly speechless.

That little man's eyes were too clean and bright, and his smile was very gentle, which made the two little ladies feel ashamed.

Although the task given by the above was to hang out with this little lord, but... the little lord didn't refuse them, he just asked them to come back tomorrow morning, so...they should come back tomorrow morning.

Xiao Zirong watched the two young ladies staring at his face for a while, then blushed and lowered his head and said, "Okay."

Then the two left with their heads down. He couldn't help touching his face, feeling as if he had secured a night of peace by relying on his beauty.

In fact, he didn't intend to reject these two young ladies from the beginning to the end. Anyway, his biggest secret is in his own mind, and no one else can take it away. As for the others... it doesn't matter.

Putting people by his side can make the group of robbers unsuspecting, but he will definitely not let people stay at night, he doesn't want to have a restless sleep.

Early the next morning, after Xiao Zirong got up, he heard the little lady outside asking carefully, his hands in clothes paused, and he always felt that the voice was different from the two of them last night.

In fact, he did not guess wrong. After opening the door, the two young ladies outside were still young, but they were indeed not the two from last night.

Xiao Zirong asked with some vigilance: "It wasn't you two last night, what about them?"

He had some suspicions that it wasn't just the robber leader who wanted to put someone next to him. After all, money touches people's hearts.

The two young ladies couldn't help trembling slightly after hearing his question, and said in a low voice, "They... they have already gone."

Xiao Zirong was slightly taken aback, gone?Where did you go?

He just wanted to ask, after meeting the terrified eyes of these two people, he gradually understood something.

He stood there with a blank mind, and after a while he said with difficulty: "Is it because I rejected them?"

The two young ladies didn't speak, and in fact they didn't need to speak, Xiao Zirong already knew the answer.

Xiao Zirong was silent for a while before saying: "You two... take me for a stroll, go to places you can go, and don't need to go to places you can't go."

Although he was a little sad, he still wanted to find out the details of this village and see how it would be convenient for him to get around.

The two new ladies were relieved and followed him from left to right.

The entire stockade is not too big, or there are not many places he can go, some places where weapons and food are placed are not allowed to go, and then there is the place where the "slaves" live, because the environment is not good there, the two small The lady got an order not to let him go.

Xiao Zirong glanced at it from a distance, and smelled a stench of a mixture of various smells without getting too close, and the houses there... the houses where the robbers themselves live are generally how could these "slaves" live in it? Good place?

And those so-called "slaves" are actually women, Xiao Zirong is not very surprised about this.

In the past few days, Xiao Zirong discovered that women in this village were not only subjected to constant bullying, but also various other oppressions. For example, women did a lot of physical work, not to mention washing and cooking. .

And the men just eat, drink and have fun, and go out to rob when they have no money.

Xiao Zirong looked at the place that was not even as good as a dog's kennel and a pigsty, and hated these robbers in his heart.

They are all real people, how can they be treated like animals?

Just as Xiao Zirong was looking over there, a woman in strong clothes came out from there.

Xiao Zirong's eyes immediately focused on her.

That woman was very different. Her hair was combed into a high ponytail, and she seemed to be carrying a bow on her back. She couldn't see what she looked like from a distance, mainly because one of her eyes was covered.

The woman stared at Xiao Zirong coldly, followed by the little lady named A Yin who was behind Xiao Zirong, carefully tugged on Xiao Zirong's sleeve and said: "Liu Xiaolang, that's Thirteen Niang's older sister, she is very powerful, let's go."

Xiao Zirong was stunned for a moment before realizing that he said that he was a descendant of Liu Song, and then he was a little puzzled: "Thirteen mothers?"

Aman on the other side said: "It was yesterday...one of them."

Xiao Zirong was silent for a moment, he didn't blame himself too much, but he felt guilty that I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

He glanced at the woman again, turned his head and left silently.

Sometimes reason is reason, and feelings are feelings. Presumably in the eyes of that woman, he is the murderer who killed her sister.

Seeing the victim's family, Xiao Zirong lost the interest to continue wandering around. When he returned, the military division sent someone to say, "Liu Xiaolang, I've found all the things. When will you start making keys?"

Although this person spoke very politely, his expression and tone were not very good, especially the way he looked at Xiao Zirong was no different from that of the robber leader.

Xiao Zirong thought silently in his heart that he should not be angry with the dead.

After trying to ignore the other party, he said: "Have you found it? Let me go and have a look first."

After arriving in the main hall, he found that the other party had indeed found something.

These things are not very difficult, the only thing that is more difficult is saltpeter, of course, this difficulty is also relatively expensive.

At first, the leader of the robbers was a little reluctant, but the military adviser waved his hand and said, "If you can get the treasure, what is the money?"

The leader of the robbers thought about it, and he closed his eyes and waved his hand in agreement.

When Xiao Zirong arrived in the hall, he checked the things he wanted first, and found that everything else was okay, only the grease was a little less.

The military adviser said from the side: "Grease is precious, and there is not much money in the village now, so this is all I can get."

Xiao Zirong thought for a while and said: "That's enough. Next, I will make the key in retreat. Don't let people disturb you during this process. Otherwise, it will be a waste of everyone's time. If it is wasted on weekdays, it will be worth it." It’s a waste, but now... it’s not good if someone gets ahead of you.”

He originally thought that the leader of the robbers and the military adviser would definitely want to send someone to watch what he did, but he didn't expect that the two of them were very happy, and it seemed that they didn't care what the key did.

After all, the place where the treasure is taken out is useless, and the key is also useful when opening the door. Why do they have to make it?Anyway, this little man has already drawn out the treasure map and gave it to them.

Seeing that they didn't object, Xiao Zirong swallowed the flicker, ah no, it was persuasion, and said: "Actually, the most difficult thing about this matter is not the making of the key, but the sequence of opening the door."

The leader of the robbers froze for a moment: "Open the door...is there an order?"

Xiao Zirong nodded earnestly: "Of course there is, and there is only one chance to try. Once something goes wrong, we have to bury it all there, so my opinion is that we should conduct a drill before that, and if it doesn't work, there is still a chance to adjust it." .”

The military adviser nodded again and again: "Mr. Xiao Lang is thoughtful, I don't know how to arrange it?"

Xiao Zirong asked: "How many reliable people in your village can participate in this matter? Or how many people do you trust to transport the treasure?"

The military adviser stared at Xiao Zirong and asked, "Why is Liu Xiaolang asking this?"

Xiao Zirong glanced at him slowly: "I didn't say before that it takes a lot of people to open the door, and men are needed. The more people, the easier it is. Otherwise, why do you think I asked you to cooperate?"
