C162
Tang Yin felt that the leader’s report was funny. Since it was a caravan, how could there be a group without gold and silver, he casually asked: “What’s the large amount of gold and silver you mentioned?”
The captain swallowed his saliva and shook his head. “I don’t know.” Then he added, “Too many. Countless.”
“Oh?” It was quite fresh that gold and silver could be so much. Tang Yin stood up, raised his head and said: “Bring me there.”
The leader led Tang Yin and stopped in front of the city gate of Heaven Pass. This caravan had more than a hundred carriages and every carriage were tied up with over a dozen dilapidated big boxes, it seemed like they were only used to transport normal goods, they were no different from normal caravans, at most, they were a little larger, and there were more people pressing on the carriages.
“Lord, please look!” Tang Yin jumped onto the horse carriage and looked down at it, what he saw was good, it was filled with all sorts of silver ingots, Tang Yin was startled for a moment, then he opened one of the boxes at the side, just like the one just now, the inside of the box was also full of silver ingots.
If hundreds of cars and thousands of boxes were filled with silver, how many would there be? This could only be described as astronomical. Tang Yin looked at the end of the caravan and was speechless. Seeing such a huge amount of silver, it would be a lie to say that Tang Yin was not moved, but he was not a bandit after all.
Tang Yin got off the carriage, and jumped onto the second carriage, which carried a box, which Tang Yin was extremely envious of. More than ten boxes were filled with gold ingots, and he was not sure if it was real or fake. Tang Yin even picked up a gold ingot and scratched it with his fingernail, showing the clear marks, the gold was indeed real.
Stepping down from the carriage, Tang Yin pulled the captain over and said: “Find the person in charge of this merchant caravan!”
“Yes!” “My Lord!” The captain intervened, saluted, and ran out.
Tang Yin really wanted to see what kind of caravan it was, to have such a huge supply of gold and silver.
Not long after, the captain brought a large group of people over from the middle section of the caravan. Most of them were Spirit Cultivator, and there were many with high cultivation realm, upon seeing them, the two Shangguan brothers immediately returned to Tang Yin’s side to protect him. Tang Yin did not care at all. He did not think that anyone would dare to assassinate him with their Heaven Pass. After all, his two hundred thousand strong army was stationed here.
The leader of the group was a middle-aged man in his forties. His clothes were very ordinary, but his temperament was extraordinary, and between his hands and feet, he carried the aura of a noble. Looking at his face, his face was as white as jade, his facial features were handsome, and three strands of black beard moved with the wind.
Tang Yin felt that this person looked familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen him.
He raised her head and asked, “Sir, are you the caravan leader?”
“Yes!” The middle-aged man smiled and stepped forward. He first gave a deep bow, then asked, “General is ?”
“Tang Yin!” Tang Yin answered straightforwardly.
“Aiya, so it’s Master Tang!” Hearing Tang Yin’s name, the middle-aged man revealed an expression of pleasant surprise, as though his anxious heart had been relieved. He bowed again, and laughed: “This humble one, Fan Ju, greets Master Tang!”
Fan Ju? Tang Yin suspected that he had misheard. Was this man the biggest businessman in Feng Country, Fan Min’s father, Fan Ju? He carefully sized up the middle-aged man. That’s right, no wonder he felt that the man was very familiar, Fan Min did indeed have some similarities with him. After being stunned for a moment, Tang Yin regained his senses, and immediately bowed to the middle aged man, and laughed: “So it’s Elder Fan, truly disrespectful!”
No matter how big Fan Ju’s business was, just the fact that he was Fan Min’s father was enough to make Tang Yin feel extremely close to him.
“Hehe, Master Tang is too polite!”
“Elder Fan is ?”
“Master Tang, to be honest, I escaped from the Wan City to this point!”
Tang Yin was startled, but after that, he understood, without question, the people chasing him must be’s subordinates. He did not pursue the matter. His body moved, and he said with a smile: “Elder Fan, no need to worry, since we have reached the Tianyuan County, I can guarantee that no one here will dare to even touch you!”
Fan Ju naturally knew the relationship between his daughter and Tang Yin, although the two of them were not married yet, but they were already husband and wife, and Tang Yin was already half a master in law. He cupped his hands and smiled, before following Tang Yin into the city. As for the gold and silver he brought, Tang Yin arranged for a bunch of soldiers to watch over him.
At this time, Qiu Zhen and the others all heard the news and rushed over. Although Fan Ju was not some powerful individual with profound strength, he was still a wealthy merchant that was comparable to a nation, and could be considered a legendary figure in terms of Feng Country. Furthermore, with Tang Yin’s relationship, everyone was extremely courteous to Fan Ju, and they rushed over first to pay their respects.
After the greetings, Tang Yin returned to the main topic at hand. Right now, he was most concerned about the information on Yan City.
Hearing that, Fan Ju sighed, he shook his head and said: “It’s already a mess.”
“Oh ?”
Although Zhong Tian rebelled, I had my suspicions, and did not have any proof, so I did not dare reveal it to the public, but I knew that if Zhong Tian was rebelling, he would definitely think of ways to control me, and use my Fan Family’s resources to help him stabilize the situation, so, I first let Xiao Min take refuge in the Pingyuan County, and then I hid myself to hide, but I never expected that Zhong Tian would hear of it, and send people to kidnap Xiao Min. If not for Master helping me, I am afraid that Xiao Min would have already fallen into Zhong Tian’s hands, and I am here to thank Master Tang! While speaking, Fan Ju stood up, knelt down, and prepared to pay his respects.
Tang Yin anxiously held him up and shook his head: “Elder Fan is too polite. In truth, Xiao Min has also helped me a lot. This was the truth. In the early stages of the battle, all of the Beisa’s items that Tang Yin had plundered would be sold through him, and without this way, no matter how much she plundered, it would all end up in her hands.
“Ha ha!” Fan Ju laughed, no matter how tyrannical Tang Yin was rumored to be in the outside world, he was extremely courteous and humble to him, which was enough to leave a good impression on Fan Ju. He said, “Master Tang’s kindness does not seek repayment. This is admirable. No wonder my daughter chose the lord!”
“Ha ha!” Tang Yin laughed awkwardly.
Fan Ju continued to speak, “Currently, all of the ministers of the Imperial Court have been held hostage by Zhong Tian, especially the three ministers of the Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun. They were subdued by Zhong Tian, which resulted in the total of two hundred thousand being led by none other than the troops of the ten Liang Family divisions, the six Wu Family divisions, and the Ziyang Family divisions.
So many troops! When everyone heard this, they looked at each other with serious faces. No one said anything.
Tang Yin frowned, and asked: “Then what about the local army? As far as I know, there are still more than two hundred thousand soldiers in the various regions. ”
“Ai!” Fan Ju let out a long sigh, and said: “The local army is just a mob that was temporarily put together, and they don’t have enough military resources or fodder. They are neither a match for Central Army nor a match for the Ning Army, and right now, they have been jointly besieged by Zhong Tian and the Ning Army outside of the Yan City. Zhong Tian had already sent orders to all County Magistrate in the respective counties, asking them if they were willing to serve him. If they nodded, that would be fine, but if they shook their heads, then the troops that the counties sent to support the Yan City would probably not be able to make it back alive. ”
Tang Yin slowly nodded and could not help but look at Qiu Zhen.
No matter what Qiu Zhen initially thought, he had strongly advocated not sending troops to reinforce the Yan City for the time being. Now that he thought about it, this idea was simply too correct. If he had truly led the troops there, right now, like the other commandos, he was surrounded by an army of seven to eight hundred thousand outside of the city.
Qiu Zhen did not care about this, and asked: “Elder Fan, Sovereign King… Is the Sovereign King Clan really being killed by Zhong Tian? ”
“More than just a clan?!” Fan Ju took a deep breath and said: “Ever since Zhong Tian became the Queen, he started to hunt and kill all those with the surname ‘Zhan’. As long as they caught someone with the surname ‘Zhan’, they would be executed without question. The fealty of the County Magistrate s to Zhong Tian was very important. One rule was to see how many people with the surname ‘Zhan’ could be handed over. I believe that before long, Zhong Tian’s orders will be transmitted to Master Tang. ”
Everyone inhaled, and in their hearts, they all sighed: What a ruthless Zhong Tian!
But when Qiu Zhen heard it, he was secretly delighted.
Fan Ju said faintly: “Since ancient times, it has always been difficult to fathom. Although he is one of the four great nobles, he has never fought for power, nor does he fight for achievements. The Zhong Family is also the most powerful out of the four great nobles, but who would have thought, the most responsible person would actually hide his wolf like ambition.
“Elder Fan, it’s still too early to say.” Qiu Zhen replied. His words were directed at Fan Ju, but his gaze was fixated on Tang Yin; his intention couldn’t be more obvious, it was to have Tang Yin raise the banner of his Feng Country, to make it clear to the world, and to suppress this traitor, Zhong Tian.
Tang Yin sat on the chair, and did not say anything. He lowered his head, and deliberately did not look at Qiu Zhen, becoming silent.
Zhong Tian had already controlled all of his Central Army, and estimated that the two hundred thousand strong local army would not be able to escape his grasp either. By then, it would be over five hundred thousand troops, and with the Ning Country’s four hundred thousand army, his military might would probably reach over a million. With Zhong Tian only having two hundred thousand people, how could he possibly contend against a city like this?
Not to mention attacking Yan City, most likely the moment he released his Heaven Pass, he would be submerged in Zhong Tian’s sea of soldiers, and at that time, not only would he be killed, he would also kill more than 200,000 soldiers under his command. With so many lives being carried by himself, how could Tang Yin dare not be cautious.
