Chapter 156: Set off again
Chapter 155 Set off again
Another day passed, all the supplies found in the city were packed. According to Baili Changsheng's intention, they were placed neatly in the square in the center of the city and ignored it. The young army should set off next.
"Prince Baili, I'll leave this to you."
Baili Changsheng promised: "Don't worry, your highness, we will definitely transport the treasure back to Yuezhou intact. Moreover, we will not be able to separate for long, and we will meet again soon. When I arrange the matter, my subordinates will immediately follow the army and go to meet with Your Highness."
"Then please."
Li Zhen nodded and turned around and said, "Young Army, set off."
"I finally left." Looking at the leaving young army, a faint voice sounded in Baili Changsheng's ears.
Baili Changsheng was shocked. After seeing the person clearly, he suddenly said angrily: "Damn! When did you appear? Also, what is the situation in your outfit? I almost used a knife. Do you know?"
"Of course I appeared just now." The person who spoke was a man wearing a South Asian native costume, and his thin rib-like figure looked exactly the same as that of the South Asian natives.
This man was obviously quite familiar with Baili Changsheng. He heard this and just rolled his eyes and said, "As for my clothes, of course, it's a disguise - we have hundreds of people. If we don't turn into locals, do you think we can hide it from the locals?"
"It's true." Baili Changsheng looked at the man and suddenly laughed: "But your stature is really similar to those natives. If we didn't know you, maybe I would have really cut you down as an indigenous person."
"You are so embarrassed to say to me? How good can you go? Look at your face, your wife may not know you when you go back... But you are so white now, you are a veritable little white face, oh no, you are an old white face." This man was not easy to mess with, so he directly sarcastically.
Baili Changsheng had to refute it, and the man immediately changed the subject and said, "Why are there so much nonsense? Have you finished playing? Hurry up and take me to see the treasure, a treasure worth five million taels of silver. I have never seen so much money in my life, so I have to open my eyes today."
As he said that, even his saliva flowed out: "Five million taels of silver, if I were to give this to me alone, it would be enough for me to eat for ten lifetimes?"
"Seeing your unpromising appearance, the treasure is there and cannot be escaped. Now our problem is to find a way to get the money running. Have you thought about how to transport it? Let's say it first, relying on people to carry it is not a good way."
Baili Changsheng looked at him with contempt. The unknown guy had become like this for millions of taels of silver. He was really useless. He completely forgot that his reaction to seeing these silver was not much better than that of him.
"Of course I wouldn't use such a stupid method." The man pointed at himself and said, "I've dressed up like this, haven't you thought of something?"
"Native people..." A flash of inspiration flashed in Baili Changsheng's mind: "You are going to use an elephant..."
"Smart." The man said proudly: "Did you not expect it? I put on my makeup and bought more than a dozen elephants from several tribes around me. With the power of the elephant, I carried only five million taels of silver, which was easy."
"No, of course I can think of it." Baili Changsheng said with a slander, but he was depressed. Why didn't he think of using an elephant? It was obvious that King Yue had seized so many elephants, but he didn't expect that this time I lost to this bastard.
Thinking of this, Baili Changsheng immediately changed the topic: "But since there is an elephant help, you'd better buy more."
"Why?"
"Nonsense, the silver belongs to the King of Yue, we can't move, but this does not mean that we are not allowed to make some extra money, right?" Baili Changsheng pointed at the city: "There are many warehouses in the city full of high-quality meat, vegetables, and rice. His Highness, the King of Yue, doesn't look down on such a small amount of money, but we..."
"Fuck, why didn't you say it earlier?" The man slapped his knees and said furiously: "If you said it earlier, I would buy a little more elephants. There is obviously a tribe who wants to sell ten elephants for me. I think it's expensive, only five..."
"What...what do you ask me to say?" Baili Changsheng said loudly: "You prodigal son... Now the news about Rili City must have reached the surrounding tribes. These tribes have probably run away long ago. Where can you get elephants?"
The man also shouted: "Can you blame me for this? You should tell me earlier."
Baili Changsheng was also wronged: "But I don't know that King Yue would want these foods. This was the hard work he told me before he left."
"Okay, okay, don't argue." Seeing the two of them getting more and more quarrels, they were about to fight. Fortunately, another person appeared, stopped their further actions and advised: "Isn't it just that there are a few elephants missing? Let's just go a few more trips."
"..." The two of them didn't want to fight at first, but they just couldn't hide their face. Now they saw someone trying to fight and gave a feasible solution, so they went down the ladder and stopped.
"But if we add these food and supplies, our ships will probably not be enough."
"It doesn't matter. I know a hidden island, so let's just put things there for the time being."
"That's all..."
Li Zhen didn't know that this happened in Rili City after he left. He was sitting on an elephant, drinking a drink made of fresh fruits, and enjoying the coolness leisurely.
After drinking a cold drink, Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, if I had known that sitting in an elephant was so comfortable, why did we have been walking through the forest for half a month? In this jungle, elephants are the king."
On the other elephant, Fang Yiai also echoed: "Yes, with this elephant, no matter whether it is the mountains, water, rivers, or woods in front, it cannot stop the elephant from moving forward. Just say the wood in front, my god, the elephant's trunk is just like this, the whole tree was uprooted, and it took only one hour to travel through the forest. If it were replaced before, we would have to at least one day? Elephants are so convenient. Whether it is to open the road or march, it is good. If we continue like this, we can save at least half of our time."
"Half is counted as less." Li Zhen smiled and said, "You should calculate it carefully. According to our budget, it would be at least 1,800 miles from Sunny to Fuchun, or even more than 3,000 miles. In the jungle, our marching speed will definitely not exceed 30 miles a day. It takes three months to walk for three thousand miles. If we encounter difficulties in the middle, the time will be longer."
