Wu Liang responded, and followed Boss Cao back to the living room with Prince Chamu.

Boss Cao first picked up the tea cup that was still cold on the table and drank a few sips to moisten his throat that was dry for some reason. Then he said, "Quickly, what's going on here?"

"Returning to Duke Ming, as written in the surrender letter, King Shanshan of Shanshan Kingdom is willing to surrender to the envoy, and Prince Chamu is a hostage sent by King Shanshan on his own initiative, and he was entrusted to me to bring him back for the envoy.

"

Wu Liang cupped his hands and said, "In addition, King Shanshan also ordered Prince Chamu to bring some gifts to show his sincerity. The gifts are now in the front yard. Please go and check them in person later."

"Ming Gong, this is the list of gifts my father gave to Ming Gong. Please take a look at it."

Prince Chamu presented another volume of silk book in a suitable manner and presented it to Boss Cao with both hands.

"..."

Boss Cao didn't know what to say at this moment. He just took the silk book over as a reflex and scanned it absently. He saw all the words, but he didn't remember a single sentence of the content.

Because right now, his mind is still buzzing.

This surprise was a little too big, so big that it shocked him a little.

In fact, he had received the news sent by Cheng Yu via flying slaves a few days ago, and he knew that Wu Liang's harvest from traveling thousands of miles to the Western Regions was quite good.

As for what a good idea was, Wu Liang did not elaborate on it with Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu naturally had no way of explaining it to Boss Cao.

But he still thought he could make a rough guess.

Tomb robbing.

The main purpose is to steal gold and treasures. This was the purpose of setting up the Heren Army. Maybe if you are lucky, you can find one or two priceless treasures like the "Suihou Pearl" or something like the Linchong Lu Gongche.

Drawings of chariots...

These are all external things.

Boss Cao is also short of money and food now, but not as short as before.

After all, his territory has expanded a lot now, and the number of soldiers under his command has also increased a lot compared to before. He has more people to support, so the more food and salary, the more the better. If he can have some extra reserves, he will have more peace of mind.

Therefore, the harvest of the Hu army from robbing tombs is naturally more, the better.

But in fact, Boss Cao is not particularly dependent on the Hu people's army now. It is no better than last year. At that time, it was an urgent need. The gold stolen by the Hu people's army was used to save lives. Today, Boss Cao has returned in triumph, and now winter is about to begin.

There should be no more fighting for at least a few months, and he would have enough time to raise food and wages.

Therefore, it is a good thing that Wu Liang has gained a good harvest, but it is no longer enough to surprise Boss Cao as much as before. It can even be said that for the increasingly powerful Boss Cao, the gold and jewelry that Wu Liang harvested every time he robbed tombs has gradually become a drop in the bucket.

Well, if we really want to maintain a huge amount of food and salary, the farming system and the salt industry are the most reliable.

But Wu Liang’s performance this time was “not bad”.

But it was completely beyond Boss Cao’s expectations, and it was like thunder!

What the hell did he call his surprise?

This is what he calls his surprise!

Boss Cao didn't know that Shanshan was just a small country in the Western Regions close to Liangzhou. Such a small country in the Western Regions thousands of miles away would definitely not be able to affect the war in the Central Plains.

But as a careerist, how could Boss Cao not know the strategic significance of this matter?

But now, Boss Cao is more curious about how Wu Liang did it...

When Wu Liang went on the expedition, he had already informed him of his whereabouts in advance, and Cheng Yu also reported to him later that Wu Liang was traveling with only about twenty people in total. Even if such a small number of people were disguised as a caravan, they would be nothing more than a caravan.

It is a small caravan, and even if it encounters some powerful bandits, it may not be strong enough to resist.

But with just a few people, Wu Liang actually brought back a letter of surrender from the king of Shanshan Kingdom, and also brought back a prince as a hostage?

Incredible!

Simply incredible!

"What exactly is going on? Tell me from beginning to end. Don't miss any details!"

This is the third time that Boss Cao has urged Wu Liang to explain the whole story.

"Ming Gong didn't know something. This is all your fault."

Wu Liang saluted again, raised his hands and said with a low eyebrow.

"My credit?"

Boss Cao was stunned.

"Exactly."

Wu Liang nodded solemnly and told the story that he had already reconciled with everyone, "This trip took nearly three months and we finally arrived at Shanshan Country. The original purpose was to find a thousand-year-old tomb about which there were only a few words in ancient books.

"

"As a result, the ancient tomb was never found, but because we rescued a woman who violated the national law of Shanshan Kingdom on the way, she was captured by the Shanshan King's garrison for no apparent reason. We had to use a tomb that we had previously found in the public tomb."

The small repeating crossbow resisted to the death, but unexpectedly it worked miraculously and killed many defenders."

As he spoke, Wu Liang took out the improved version of the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow" that he had prepared in advance and showed it to Boss Cao for inspection.

Normally, it was impossible for Wu Liang to bring weapons into the Cao Mansion, but the guards of the Cao Mansion had never seen the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow" and did not know that the small iron box was actually a weapon, so they naturally did not take it.

.

"?"

While Boss Cao took the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow" and looked at it carefully, he motioned with his eyes to Wu Liang to continue.

"What is even more unexpected is that during the chaos, we actually shot and killed the general of the defenders for no reason, causing the morale of the defenders in the royal capital to be in chaos."

Wu Liang continued, "We knew in our hearts that the city gate was closed, and it was absolutely impossible for us people to escape from the city, so we had to take advantage of the chaos and go to the palace to see King Shanshan."
