Chapter 292 It’s not that I can’t bear it
"Five thousand gold!!"
A roar came from the tent, startling the soldiers patrolling outside.
Father Wen was so angry that his face turned red and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Five thousand gold!
Even if he sold every blade of grass and every tree in his commander's mansion, he still couldn't come up with five thousand gold.
The general who reported back knelt timidly in the tent, not daring to say a word.
There was silence for an unknown amount of time before the man in the main seat gave orders to his subordinates feebly but realistically.
It is impossible for Wen Hanshi to empty his family's savings to redeem a general...
There was a venomous look in his eyes. "Go to the capital and find those merchants and noble families that I have dealings with on a daily basis."
"These five thousand gold coins, they can take as much as they can. If anyone refuses or keeps it for themselves..."
Wen Hanshi looked at his confidant.
The man bowed his head and clasped his fists, "I understand, I will kill you without mercy!"
"Well... bring more people and get things done faster."
"Yes!"
Of the five thousand gold, three thousand were raised in total, and the rest was still taken from the military pay and the commander-in-chief's mansion.
Wen Hanshi personally escorted him to the border.
He looked behind him and saw boxes of...
It's chilling!!
He clenched the reins tightly, wishing he could bite them hard.
"drive!"
The warhorse sped up and Wen Hanshi's expression became cold.
He wanted to see what kind of monster this little girl of seven or eight years old was, who could give her five thousand gold so easily!
……
"Miss, a team is coming!"
The general with sharp ears in the army lay prone on the ground, with one ear pressed against the grass, listening carefully.
"About a hundred people."
A commander rubbed his hands excitedly, "Could it be that they are here to give us money?"
Jiang An looked at the dust stirred up by horse hooves in the distance, his thin eyebrows expressing a vivid expression.
So happy?
She moved closer to Niangniang and said, "Tell me, could this be a trap?"
Nianniang frowned slightly and carefully recalled what happened today.
"As General Huo said, the thieves and bandits nearby would hide at this time of year, so the robbery that the young lady encountered today was a bit strange..."
Not long after leaving that place, scouts came again to report that the Dongli army was causing trouble on the border.
This team's provocation came out of nowhere...
Zheng Lu nodded and continued, "It's true that Maozhou is weaker than the two northern states, but Nan Shang has a large army on patrol. As a neighboring country, Dongli can't be completely unaware of this. It's acting this way deliberately."
Zheng Yan, who was sandwiched between the two of them, opened his clear eyes with a confused look on his face.
He asked a soul-searching question, "What do they want?"
The robbers were hung upside down on a tree by the young lady; the provocative general and the army were caught and beaten, it was so tragic!
Zhengyan spread his hands, "Nothing happened~"
Nianniang and Zhenglu looked at each other.
I have to admit, there is some truth to that.
The little girl looked at Bang Bang's head and thought that it would be great if the old fox Hu Yan was here at this time.
Unable to figure it out, she waved her claws and said, "Never mind..."
"If there's any problem, just fight!"
If you can beat them, beat them. If you can't beat them, run away.
At this moment, counting money is the most important thing~
"Xu..."
Wen Hanshi dismounted and ran straight towards Jiang An.
"Are you that little girl?" He said it bluntly.
Jiang An rolled his eyes at him, and put his fat hands on his waist, "You are right if you say so, I am indeed a little girl."
Wen Hanshi was choked by what he said.
"Humph…"
He turned around, with his back to Jiang An, and looked at the five thousand soldiers.
It's really...how can I describe it with just one word: miserable!
He was beaten so badly that his face was bruised and swollen.
Wen Hanshi's face darkened and he shouted, "Useless things, get out of here!"
He was driving people away at this moment, not because he was protecting his own child.
I simply feel that paying money to redeem someone should not be done in public...
Who knows if there might be spies from other families among these five thousand people, waiting to catch him making a mistake.
When the soldiers received the order to leave, they stood up vigorously, grabbed their weapons and ran away.
If you don't know, you might think there's some monster chasing you.
In the darkening night, they ran towards the camp, tears in their eyes, and they were almost shouting for their mothers.
Seeing that the figures had disappeared into the darkness, Wen Hanshi finally opened the box.
The bright yellow gold ingots were placed in rows and rows...
There were a few more boxes at the back because the gold was not enough, so they used silver of equal value to make up for it.
"Five thousand gold in total, let him go."
Jiang An looked at Jin Za and then at the Dongli coach.
"Don't worry..."
She frowned, "An An, why do you look familiar to me?"
Father Wen and Wen Zeyu are quite similar, except that one is the owner of a restaurant, while the other is a coach who is exposed to the wind and sun.
The nobility and elegance of Wen Hanshi had long been wiped out by time and the wind and sand of this border.
This man was so dark that the little girl couldn’t imagine what he was like no matter how hard she tried!
Wen Hanshi didn't know that his son was familiar with her, so he looked calm.
He snorted again, "I have never seen you before..."
"Quickly collect the money and release him."
"Even if this matter has been exposed!"
"Tsk..."
Huo Lang was about to step forward, how could this man speak like that!
The little girl's temper was even worse than his, and her face immediately turned cold.
Only her somewhat indulgent voice could be heard throughout the plain, "Why are you humming? You can only hum..."
"Does your ancestry have any connection with pigs?"
Huo Lang stopped and his mouth twitched.
Oh my god, open it up close to your face.
Being called a pig and also being called that his ancestors were also pigs, how could Wen Hanshi tolerate this!
He took a step forward, his expression fierce.
Jiang An didn't react to his move, but the soldiers behind her were not happy about it.
They all drew their swords in unison!
Why do you still want to bully their eldest daughter in front of them?
Wen Hanshi immediately retracted his feet. It was not that he could not bear it...
He suddenly felt a little regretful for letting all the soldiers go back.
To be honest, the wind is quite cold at night...
Wen Hanshi, who successfully redeemed the person, didn't say a word, just jumped on his horse and ran away.
Wen Zeyu, who was watching from afar, smiled contemptuously.
This is all his father is capable of.
"Son..."
The subordinate poked him and said, "Just as you expected, they really set up camp nearby!"
"It's just that they seem to have become alert, and the number of people patrolling and watching the night has doubled..."
Wen Zeyu: "It's okay. According to what we learned a few days ago, Jiang An and Huo Lang should be on patrol tonight."
"Tell your men to get ready and keep a close eye on Jiang An."
"Yes!"
