Chapter 162 High risk and high returns coexist

It was paralyzed, a commander of the guards and a thousand households appeared in Weizhen Fort in the middle of the night. It was really strange. What's even more strange was that after Peng Feng brought Xu Xingxia out, he stood behind. Obviously, Deng Rubai wanted to talk to Xu Xingxia alone. Is there anything that even Peng Feng could not know? Xu Xingxia really felt getting weirder and weirder.

Trying to calm himself down, Xu Xingxia came to Deng Rubai and said loudly: "I am in charge of Xu Xingxia, please meet the commander-in-law."

Deng Rubai seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw him appear. He probably paced back and forth uneasy just now, and Xu Xingxia had already seen it. Therefore, he did not deliberately hide his emotions and said politely: "Xu Baihu, please don't give me any gifts."

Xu Xingxia straightened her waist and said apologetically: "I don't know if the adults are here, I will be in a farewell welcome... The banquet started shortly, if the adults are..."

Deng Rubai said lightly: "I have eaten."

Xu Xingxia stood still silent and stood solemnly. Since the other party came to him on his own initiative, he would naturally explain the purpose of the visit, and he would just listen.

Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, Deng Rubai said in a low tone: "Xingxia, are you a little misunderstanding of me? I think I am deliberately making things difficult for you?"

Xu Xingxia shook her head and said, "No. My subordinates have never thought about it like this."

Deng Rubai's eyes fell on him and said slowly: "If you refuse to tell the truth, I won't force you. I just hope you understand that being in my position is sometimes difficult! In fact, I came to you today because I have a very difficult private matter and need your help to deal with it. I hope we can talk openly and honestly."

Xu Xingxia said calmly: "Sir, please say. Please follow the teachings."

Deng Rubai shook his head and said, "It's not a teaching or not. It's a very difficult thing. The superiors told me to deal with it. All I can think of is to leave it to you. I hope you have a mental preparation, which is about the two young masters, Li Yunrui and Li Canran."

Xu Xingxia subconsciously raised her head, took advantage of the hazy moonlight and carefully observed Deng Rubai's face, and said slowly: "Did the Tartars agree to put the person back?"

Deng Rubai nodded gently and said with a bitter expression: "I agree. The price is, 50,000 taels of silver, not even a child is missing."

Xu Xingxia frowned and didn't say anything, but she felt really uncomfortable. Those two fools were actually worth 50,000 taels of silver. What's more... What's more serious is that the price offered by the Tartars was accepted by someone. Thinking that the Tartars easily got 50,000 taels of silver with almost no effort, Xu Xingxia couldn't help but have the urge to kidnap the rich. It's paralyzed, and this way of making money was too fast.

No wonder the Tatars are always centipede insects, and they are not dead. They are always unable to kill Xiaoqiang. They are all because of such a quick way to make money! No matter how hard others work, no matter how many Tartars they destroy, there will always be people who consciously or unconsciously send a lot of wealth to the Tatars, so that the strength of the Tatars will soon recover.

There are 50,000 taels of silver, and the Tatars' losses in the past two or three months can basically be compensated. In other words, the Tatars they killed before were basically in vain. The Tatars can use a large amount of silver to purchase more iron tools through various channels, create more weapons and equipment, and thus improve their own strength. The next time they meet the Tatars, their combat effectiveness may be enhanced.

Paralyzed, what kind of society is this? Are the big guys in Ningxia Town killing the Tartars or helping the Tartars rise? It is said that Yuan Chonghuan is secretly investing in the enemy. How do you think of the big guys in Ningxia Town, you are also blatantly investing in the enemy? Paralyzed, with so many quasi-traitors, the Ming Dynasty cannot do without destruction!

Deng Rubai started talking about the topic and said slowly: "The above had sent people to discuss with the Hellerkin Tatars in advance. The total ransom was 50,000 taels, one hand paid and the other hand. The exchange location was initially selected to be in the Gobi Desert outside Zhenyuan Pass, about thirty miles away from Zhenyuan Pass. However, the exact time for the exchange has not yet been decided."

Xu Xingxia took a breath, held back her unhappiness, and said without any pain: "What the superior means... is he going to want me to participate in the replacement?"

Deng Rubai said slowly: "It's not that you are involved, it's that you are fully responsible."

Xu Xingxia's brows frowned immediately. It was paralyzed, and the superiors really looked down upon me! All dangerous and difficult things were left to me. How risky is it to exchange with the Tartars in the Gobi Desert outside Zhenyuan Pass! The flat and empty Gobi Desert is completely the world of the Tartars! If the Tartars receive the ransom but refuse to let them go, wouldn't they be left alone? If they don't do it well, even the teams that go to replace people will be killed under the arrow of the Tartars. Don't tell me about the credibility of the Tartars, the Tartars have never had credibility!

No wonder Deng Rubai came in the middle of the night and hurriedly looked for himself. It must be that the battle outside Ningxia City during the day attracted the attention of some people who were interested. They finally decided to hand over this difficult task to themselves. Although Deng Rubai looks like a bad old man, he is actually very cunning and has no benefits. Li Maohui and Li Guozhen must use the benefits to make Deng Rubai agree to take over the matter. Xu Xingxia is too lazy to think about what dark corners are there and how much exchange of interests there is.

To be honest, Xu Xingxia was not willing to do such a task. The main reason was that he felt that there was little chance of success. Plains and wilderness, or the Gobi Desert, was a good opportunity for the Tatar cavalry to rage. Not to mention that there might be accidents in the process of replacing people, even if he could bring those two candids back alive after changing people, it would be a very difficult thing to do. If one is not good, he would have to ruin his life.

The name Xu Xingxia has no friendly meaning for the Tartars of the Hellejin tribe. On the contrary, this name contains deep hatred. In his hands, Xu Xingxia has at least five hundred Tartars' lives. Among them, it also includes the little prince of the Hellejin tribe. If the Hellejin tribe has the opportunity to make it, they will definitely not hesitate. Even if they don't have the 50,000 taels, they will attack themselves.

Xu Xingxia even doubted whether the superiors wanted to take this opportunity to send themselves under the arrow of the Tartars and use the hands of the Tartars to get rid of themselves. With the precedent of Zhang Qiuqing colluding with the Tartars, Xu Xingxia did not doubt at all, and the superiors could make such an arrangement. Those bastards were as timid as mice in front of the Tartars, but they were all good at dealing with their own people. The Hellejin tribe of the Tartars would definitely welcome such arrangements very much.

In addition, from a personal perspective, Xu Xingxia didn't want those two fools to come back at all. Li Yunrui and Li Canran deserve it. They were not of use except wasting food and harming the people. The Tartars chopped off these two guys, but it was a good thing. If these two guys came back, with their vindictive personality, they might be in trouble again.

However, when Xu Xingxia heard that he was paying 50,000 taels of silver on the spot at Zhenyuanguan, he was a little moved. In fact, to put it bluntly, the superior asked him to go out to prevent the Tatars from being gangstered, so as not to give money but not get people. Xu Xingxia was gangstered because of being gangstered. His idea was very simple. He grabbed two fools back and then put 50,000 taels of silver into his pocket. If he was paralyzed, the boss was rich, and 50,000 taels of silver, which made money so easily. Why didn't the court's eyewitness pay attention to this matter?

When Deng Rubai saw Xu Xingxia pondering and silent, he began to feel uneasy again and said slowly: "Xingxia! Can you tell me a brief explanation and can you complete the task?"

Xu Xingxia pondered for a moment and decided to spread the matter. You want me to do things, yes. But you have to give me enough benefits. If you want me to do things with simple commands, let me do things, then I'd better die! I'm not so stupid as to die in vain! He said bluntly: "Mr. Deng, I'm 70% sure to bring back the two young masters safely. But I have the conditions."

Deng Rubai said sternly: "You raise the conditions."

Xu Xingxia said in an orderly manner: "I only have two conditions. First, exchange all the military achievements. Second, distribute all the money and grain owed by all the military households in Weizhen Fort."

Deng Rubai frowned and said, "The first condition is not a big problem. But the second one..."

Xu Xingxia didn't speak, but just looked at Deng Rubai with a glittering eyes, without any intention of giving in. Although he didn't speak, his meaning was very clear. All the military households in Weizhen Fort, all the owed money and grains, were all owed, and there was no 50,000 taels of silver! You can pay 50,000 taels of silver for two candids, but there was no silver to distribute the owed money and grains? Paralyzed, there was no bullying like this!

The formal military households in Weizhen Fort are actually less than 300 people, and the others do not count money and grain. Even if each military household is owed 100 taels of silver, it is only more than 30,000 taels of silver. If you can take out 50,000 taels of silver to give to the Tartars, you can't take out 30,000 taels of silver to distribute money and grain? I'm crazy! As for grain, Ningxia Town has the most lacking in food, and it's no problem to call ten thousand stones at will!

Deng Rubai had no choice but to say slowly: "Okay, I promise you everything."

Xu Xingxia said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, I will take on this matter with all my strength."

Deng Rubai put down the big stone in his heart and sighed that he didn't come in vain tonight. Xu Xingxia is sometimes very rebellious and difficult to manage, but he is indeed a good player to use. No wonder the superiors hate him and he still has to use him at the critical moment. There is no way, it's rare to have talent! Alas, it would be even better if he was a little obedient.

Xu Xingxia didn't think so in his heart. His reason was very simple, that is, he could not suffer any losses. The emperor was not short of hungry soldiers. Such a dangerous thing was not enough, so who would be willing to work hard for you? Since your superiors were going to send me, I had to find a way to get some benefits for myself. The 50,000 taels of silver would never fall into the hands of the Tartars. I have to think of a way to turn the 50,000 taels of silver into my own.

After thinking about it, Xu Xingxia said intentionally or unintentionally: "Mr. Deng, can you just exchange the two young masters successfully and ignore the others?"

Deng Rubo suddenly frowned slightly, and he noticed something sensitively. He looked at Xu Xingxia and said with a serious expression: "It's true. But don't do anything randomly."

Deng Rubai did not feel disgusted with Xu Xingxia. The difference in status between the two sides was too big, so Xu Xingxia could not threaten him at all. The main reason why he was lukewarm to Xu Xingxia was from the pressure from the superiors. As the commander of the guard, he was facing the governor and the general officer directly. The pressure was indeed very high. Now when he heard Xu Xingxia's tone, he was going to mess around, so of course he didn't like it. If you mess up the matter, I would be finished.

Xu Xingxia said confidently: "Mr. Deng can rest assured that he is humble and must take back the two young masters safely. If the two young masters have any mistakes, I will just ask."

Deng Rubai heard his tone so calmly, so he no longer doubted. In fact, he had no way to doubt it. Apart from Xu Xingxia, he could not find the second person to take on this matter in Ningxia Town. He said with anticipation: "Since that's the case, you are ready."

Xu Xingxia nodded and said deeply: "The superior decides when to change people? It is best to give me a month to prepare to ensure that everything is foolproof."

Deng Rubai whispered: "The exact date has not been discussed yet. When the date is set, I will inform you in person. This matter was deployed by the superiors alone, and no one else knows. I will also deployed it to you separately, so don't tell others."

Xu Xingxia nodded and said in a deep voice: "I understand, I am waiting for news from the Lord."

After Deng Rubai finished his explanation, he said goodbye and left. Peng Feng and others also left one after another. Xu Xingxia walked alone in the wilderness outside, thinking about this matter back and forth. There is no doubt that if this matter is done well, he will definitely get a lot of benefits. However, the risks of this matter are indeed very large. It really has high risks and high returns!

"Hundred Houses!"

Suddenly, many footsteps came, and some people called him. Xu Xingxia looked back and found that it was Yu Lijun, Zhang Quanfu, Chi Hu, Mao Shisan and others who were worried, so they all followed. Chen Denglong, Liu Guangliang and several other general flags also followed. Seeing Xu Xingxia walking leisurely, they felt relieved, but were full of doubts. What happened?

Xu Xingxia said straight to the point: "Tell everyone two good news. First, our military achievements can be exchanged all. Lao Yu can go directly to the commander-in-law tomorrow and bring the silver back. Second, all the military households in Weizhen Fort owed money and grain will be distributed soon! Chen Denglong, you will bring more people tomorrow and go directly to the commander-in-law, and he will arrange the distribution of money and grain as soon as possible."

Perhaps these two news was too surprising and too shocking, and there was no cheer at the scene. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you and it felt a bit like a fantasy. Zhang Qiuqing was still trying to find a way to trouble Xu Xingxia just now. Why did the wind direction above change in a blink of an eye? No matter how you think about it, is there any conspiracy above? After a long time of sinking, Liu Guangliang said arduously: "Xia Zi, is this true?"

Xu Xingxia nodded and said sternly: "Of course it's true! This is what Commander Deng, the Guardian, promised me personally. He was talking to me here just now."

Chi Hu said with some concern: "This... sir, why does the subordinate feel something is wrong? When did the superiors be so kind? It is already good to be able to exchange our military achievements for silver, and it is also a waste of all the money and food that has been owed? It is too impossible."

Wang Xia also said: "Yes, the head is so refreshing, it feels like the sun comes out from the west. I have never seen them be so kind. So much money and so much food, how can I just send it? I must be planning to do something!"

Xu Xingxia smiled slightly, looked around, and found that there were no outsiders, so she said coldly: "Your guess is not wrong, it is a little wrong. The superior needs us to help them do something and find a way to bring back the two guys Li Yunrui and Li Canran safely. Note that this is a secret matter, just be sure to know, don't leak it."

Chi Hu, Wang Xia and others suddenly realized that no wonder the superiors were so generous this time. It turned out that they were going to use Xu Xingxia and the Baiyi Army. Since there was such a request, it was true that they exchanged military achievements and distributed money and food. If they were not given benefits, who would do things for them? Slowly, great joy rose from everyone's hearts. Every military family in Weizhen Fort can receive the owed money and food, which is a great joy!

Sure enough, when they returned to the banquet and Yu Lijun announced the two good news loudly, the military households at the scene were so excited that they could not speak, and some people started crying on the spot. Especially those women, they had been looking forward to the distribution of money and food for many years. Now that they were all sent at once, it would be strange if they didn't lose control of their emotions.

Among the military households in Weizhen Fort, some of the money and grain of the people have been owed for five or six years. These military households were all wrong with Wang Shoulu before, and almost no share of them was given every time they were given money and grain. Incomplete statistics, the military households with the most owed money and grain were almost 150 taels of silver and hundreds of stones of grain!

"Splitting!"

Suddenly, someone took out all the firecrackers that had not been burned yet. Someone sang Qin Opera collectively, and the scene was noisy, as if it was even more lively than the New Year. As a great minister, Xu Xingxia was surrounded by military households and took turns to toasting.
