Chapter 300 Meeting Gift
Suddenly, Shen Yu cleared his throat.
"General He, where are we now? Why are we in such a hurry? Have you made any important discoveries?"
He Qing asked a series of questions, but before he could answer, Wen Wan's eyes lit up.
By the way, why are they in such a hurry to travel?
He must have received some important news.
What kind of news would make He Qing take it so seriously?
There's only a vein of ore!
Moreover, this mineral vein must not have been discovered by them first, but by the people of Mobei, so they rushed to this place at great speed.
Thinking of this, Wen Wan looked up at the mountains in the distance.
She slowly raised her hand and pointed to one of the canyons.
He then took out his notebook and wrote, "If nothing unexpected happens, the mineral vein should be in that valley."
He Qing's attention was drawn back, and he had no time to answer Shen Yu's question.
He asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure? If you dare to fool me, I will tear you into pieces."
Wen Wan quickly shook her head and wrote, "My life is still in the hands of the general. I dare not fool you! If there is no mineral vein, it will not be too late for you to kill me!"
He Qing put away his sword doubtfully and directed everyone to move forward into the valley.
Wen Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With her back to the crowd, she secretly winked at Shen Yu.
Thanks to his reminder, she was able to resolve the crisis.
It doesn't matter that she doesn't know how to find mineral deposits. In this remote place, she only needs to find traces of human activities to know where the Mobei people discovered it.
The direction of the trampled bushes on the ground, coupled with the faint smoke from cooking in the distant valley, made her dare to conclude that people from Mobei must be there, and that there were quite a few people from Mobei this time.
As expected, after the team had marched for half a cup of tea, the scouts who were exploring the way ahead came to report.
"General, there are over a thousand Mobei people in the valley. They have set up camp. A mine has been dug behind the camp, and many mining slaves are coming in and out of the cave."
Hearing this, He Qing's face turned ugly.
Everyone's face was heavy. Everyone knew that the people of Mobei were cruel and ruthless. They fought like crazy and were very difficult to deal with.
Now that the people of Mobei are numerous and powerful, they are no match for them.
"General, now we have to go back to Fengcheng and mobilize the garrison. Only then can we defeat the people of Mobei."
He Qing swung a whip at the person who spoke.
"You're the only one who's smart enough to mobilize troops? You think you're from Mobei and can't do that?"
He Qing said coldly, "According to the information in the secret letter, Mobei only discovered this mineral deposit ten days ago. In just ten days, they not only gathered a thousand people, but also dug a mine. Is this something they could do without any preparation?"
After all, he is a general, so He Qing can see the situation clearly.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Mobei army is also heading towards Fengcheng. The Mobei people also have a ceasefire agreement in hand. If we openly try to steal it, we will be at a disadvantage."
After hearing this, some of the subordinates seemed a little dissatisfied.
"Fight then! Are we, the men of the Duan Dynasty, afraid of the Mobei people?"
He Qing snorted coldly, "Afraid? Do you think this general is afraid of the people of Mobei?"
He was only afraid of the one in the palace.
The fact that the palace sent Prince Anding to Fengcheng to negotiate with Mobei is enough to show what the person in the palace means.
His Majesty doesn't want to fight with the people of Mobei anymore.
He Qing's elder sister is the current queen, so he naturally knows the true situation of the Duan Dynasty.
The Duan Dynasty seemed to have a strong army, but in fact it was weak inside. The treasury had long been empty, so how could it have the money to recruit more soldiers?
If Shen Yu had not intimidated the people of Mobei in recent years, the border defense line of Duan Dynasty would have been breached by Mobei long ago.
Therefore, it is really not an easy task to seize these mineral veins without expanding the war.
This was also one of the reasons why he brought Shen Yu to Fengcheng.
He Qing's cold eyes swept over Shen Yu, and murderous intent flashed across his face.
Those people from Mobei dream of killing Shen Yu.
He Qing restrained his gaze, walked to the side of the accompanying general, leaned close and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, the general nodded with a look of surprise and said, "I will do it immediately."
The general rode away with a small group of men and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
Wen Wan frowned tightly. He Qing was full of evil intentions and no one knew what vicious things he was planning.
"Everyone head towards the valley." He Qing gave another order.
After walking a little further, the trees became denser and denser, and the carriage could not pass through.
Shen Yu was pulled out of the carriage and walked.
He Qing's subordinates were unwilling to help Shen Yu, and in the end this difficult task fell on Wen Wan's head.
Everyone wanted to laugh at Shen Yu, so they asked Wen Wan to help him move forward.
Wen Wan was a woman, and it was already inconvenient for her to walk in the forest, and she had to support others. The two of them walked stumblingly and almost fell several times, which caused people to laugh at them.
After passing through the dense forest, we arrived at the entrance of the valley.
At this time, Wen Wan and the other person had red marks on their faces and arms from being scratched by tree branches. Although the wounds were not deep, they were extremely dense and looked a bit creepy at first glance.
Wen Wan didn't pay much attention to this at the time. She thought about it as she walked, but she couldn't figure out what He Qing was going to do.
"General, the camp of the Mobei people is just ahead." The scout came forward to report.
"Yeah." He Qing responded lightly, took out a token of the Fengcheng defenders and threw it into the scout's arms.
"Go and tell the Mobei general in the camp that... this general has a business deal to discuss with him."
The scout received the order and immediately went to deliver the message.
After a while, the scout returned, followed by dozens of strong Mobei soldiers.
The one leading the group should be a young general with a beard and a short knife on his waist. When he looked at people, his eyes were vicious and sharp, and it was obvious that he was not a good person.
He reined in his horse and stopped in front, his eyes sweeping over the men on He Qing's side, his gaze lingering on Wen Wan the longest.
"Are you the Fengcheng defenders?" the young Mobei general asked loudly, "What kind of business do you want to discuss with us?"
He Qing nodded, "I need to discuss this business with you who can make the decision. Can you make the decision?"
The young Mobei general burst into laughter upon hearing this. "Whether I make the decision or not is none of your business! Didn't we discuss this last time when we signed the ceasefire agreement?"
He sneered and said, "There's nothing more to discuss now. My master said that you people from the Duan Dynasty are cunning and must be here to steal the mineral vein."
"What are you talking about? We won't talk to you. According to the ceasefire agreement, this mineral vein belongs to us in Mobei!"
The bearded man waved his hand and said, "Leave now, or the ceasefire will be invalid. If you want to fight, then fight. We are not afraid!"
The people of Mobei have always been rude and unreasonable, but most of them have simple minds and strong limbs.
He Qing had dealt with them before, but this time the Mobei people seemed to have come to their senses and saw through their purpose at a glance.
The bearded man added, "Oh, by the way. The woman over there is staying here as a gift to my master."
