Chapter 472 Don't overthink it, it really wasn't about killing someone and burying a body.
Li Wangzheng confirmed from Xie Mingyue's words that the female general in the Andong Army was indeed named "Li Shiyue" (Li October).
After speaking a few more words with Xie Mingyue, he naturally realized it;
This is not a coincidence of sharing the same name. The admirable female general Li Shiyue, who dared to confront the Khan to his face, is his own niece, Li Shiyue!
Li Shiyue, who had missed her uncle Li Wangzheng, was now leading Dana and the Xuanjia Army, along with General Liu and the others, almost out of the grasslands.
This time, with a large number of warhorses accompanying them, two horses per person were more than enough for the Xuanjia Army.
Therefore, on the evening of the third day after leaving the Turkic royal court, Li Shiyue and his group had already arrived at the foot of Daheishan Mountain and reached the outskirts of the horse farm.
The rest was simple. The horses were left at the horse farm, and Li Shiyue communicated with General Liu, then quickly wrote down the important events and results that had occurred since entering the Turkic territory, and sent someone to report to Liu Tan.
However, Liu Tan, who was stationed in Sanshan County, had already received news of the major events that Li Shiyue and General Liu had accomplished in the Turkic region.
This was, of course, because Lu Guang and his spies in Andong, the Turks, had sent the news back long ago.
As evening approached, Liu Tan, who had just received news from Li Shiyue and General Liu at the garrison in Sanshan County, was naturally delighted—no, he was overjoyed!
Inside the room, Liu Tan stood up abruptly from the table and laughed heartily for quite a while.
Hearing Liu Tan's loud laughter from inside the house, Zhao Da and Ma San, who were guarding outside the door, quickly went inside.
After Liu Tan calmed down, Zhao Da went to look at the report he had just handed over, at Liu Tan's prompting.
"General! This, this, this is wonderful!"
Zhao Da's words, after reading the report, surprised Ma San, who was standing nearby. Ma San was impatient and immediately reached out to snatch the report from Zhao Da's hand to look at it.
Zhao Da didn't mind Ma San's behavior; instead, he simply let go of the lost money and let Ma San take it away.
"Damn! That was awesome!"
Li Shiyue is a real tough girl!
After Ma San shouted these words, he suddenly realized that Li Shiyue was not a man, but a woman.
Then he added, "She's more manly than a real man!"
The general made the right decision to send her to the Turks!
After this, so many people were killed, and so many of their old horses were stolen!
"The Turks will pose no threat to our Andong within five years, no, perhaps even ten!"
That night, the lamp on Liu Tan's desk remained lit until the third watch of the night.
Meanwhile, at the horse farm, Li Shiyue, along with Sun Xiaoliu, Chen Yong, and Hei Zi, were doing something shady in the dead of night.
Don't overthink it, it really wasn't about murder and burying a body.
Li Shiyue and the three of them were rummaging through the horse farm's warehouse, handling the valuables they had collected from various Turkic tribes.
Yes, Li Shiyue had a plan to take more of the goods that should have been handed over.
The horses were in the open, so she couldn't take action on a large scale. At most, she could rely on her status as a general and, this time, she had used her strength to seize a few horses.
Furthermore, she could ask Liu Tan to allocate more troops to her when the horses are distributed in the future.
And goods?
It hasn't been put into storage yet, and it hasn't been compiled into a list!
Historically, soldiers who went out to fight were allowed to take a share of the spoils of war first; this was a tacit rule.
Although the rules were set in stone, she had already made the decision this time, allowing the soldiers who went with her to take 60% of the profits.
But to be honest, those Turkic nobles from the big tribes were damn rich!
Not to mention those gold plates and bowls, there are also those scimitars inlaid with gemstones and such;
This time, Li Shiyue and his group discovered piles of gold ingots among the maternal clan of the third prince, the deceased Khan!
Moreover, it wasn't just gold ingots, it even had gold bricks!
Even though only 40% of the wealth was left, Li Shiyue later decided to give some to General Liu and set aside some for herself. The remaining gold ingots and bricks were still packed into several boxes!
Ultimately, it all boils down to one sentence: there's just too much to say!
It far exceeded the amount Li Shiyue had estimated she could obtain before coming to the Turkic Khaganate!
So, under the cover of night, Li Shiyue quietly called out to Sun Xiaoliu and Chen Yong, and also summoned the strong Hei Zi. The four of them found an excuse to transfer their own men who were guarding the warehouse, and went straight into the warehouse.
right!
Li Shiyue intends to intercept these goods a second time!
She wanted to intercept a portion of the goods before they were put into storage, before Liu Tan arrived!
Sun Xiaoliu held up a tinderbox that was glowing, and all three of them immediately looked at Li Shiyue, who had a sullen face.
Facing the gazes of the three people, Li Shiyue didn't hesitate at all. She pointed to the wooden boxes in front of her and said, "Take these boxes along with the boxes, and take half of the ones over there."
"Clear out a box over there. You guys can decide what to pack. Divide the space in that box among yourselves."
After Li Shiyue finished speaking, Sun Xiaoliu held up a tinderbox to light the way for Chen Yong and Heizi, and the three of them quickly got to work.
They were all strong men; it was just a matter of carrying a few boxes of gold ingots and gold bricks. With Hei Zi's build, he could easily carry a whole box by himself.
After all the items were brought out, Li Shiyue led the three of them up a small path behind the horse farm that connected to Daheishan Mountain.
Many people in the horse farm actually know about this road. It's a shortcut that goes directly up Daheishan Mountain and leads down to Lijiatun, making it very cheap.
Finally, Li Shiyue led his men to the entrance of a hidden cellar halfway up the mountain.
"Only my older sister and I know about this place. Let's leave the things here for now."
When I have some free time in the future, I'll send your portions to you in batches!
Before dawn, Li Shiyue and the other three hurried down the mountain and took a small path back to the horse farm.
Chen Yong and Sun Xiaoliu were scouts, and they didn't sit idle along the way, cleaning up all the traces left by the four of them.
If someone tries to investigate this later, they won't find anything.
Back at the room arranged for Li Shiyue at the horse farm, the first thing she saw when she opened the door was a pair of bright black eyes.
Although not startled, Li Shiyue still paused for a moment.
"Dana, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Li Shiyue coaxed Dana to sleep on the low couch in the outer room before she went into the inner room, took off her clothes, got into bed, and closed her eyes.
In fact, Li Shiyue had long had the idea of intercepting these goods from the Turkic nobles again.
Of course she can do it alone, after all, she has the system's inventory;
If she could just find any excuse to go to the warehouse and collect a few boxes when no one was around, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?
However, this would give her too much ammunition to criticize her.
At least, Sun Xiaoliu and Chen Yong, who had seen those gold cakes and gold bricks, would find it hard not to investigate why these boxes of gold cakes and gold bricks had simply disappeared into thin air.
Besides, she'll eventually have to find opportunities to use these gold coins and bars; she needs to have a legitimate reason to use them, right?
In that case, wouldn't it be reasonable for Sun Xiaoliu, Chen Yong, and Hei Zi to share some of the profits?
As for why these goods were intercepted a second time?
Li Shiyue naturally had her own reasons.
