Chapter 473: Ascend to the right
A short distance to the south, he found the horse team of Taipingzhai, they were transporting 10,000 catties of copper and iron to Gushan, he had seen them on the road earlier, because of the rugged mountain road, moving slowly, until this time the convoy entered the Gushan boundary.
Dong Yunju, the owner of Taiping Village, is a bandit leader who is full of evil, this 10,000 catties of copper and iron is the money handed over by Dong Yunju to buy his life, since he has received the benefits of this old thing, he can no longer embarrass him, but Taiping Village is the largest thief den in the Southern Wilderness, and he must have hoarded a lot of food, so it is a pity to let them go.
Thinking of this, he controlled the green dragon armor to fall from the sky, blocking the way of the convoy.
He once went to Taipingzhai, and the thief who escorted him recognized him, and when he saw him suddenly appear, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.
Wu Zhongyuan ignored him, but circled around the carriage in front of him, "Is it enough?"
The thief nodded, "It's enough, it's 12,000 catties, and the extra 2,000 catties are my family's owner to honor you." ”
"How much gold and copper? How much evil gold?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again, at this time there is also the word gold, but it refers to the better quality of copper, and the evil gold refers to iron, due to the metallurgical technology is not good, there is no wrought iron at this time, it is all pig iron, and the hardness is also very poor, so it can only be made of farm tools.
"All fine gold and brass, and half of the worst gold has not been adulterated. The thief said as he opened one of the wooden boxes.
Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and glanced at it, it was indeed copper, all of them were stick-shaped, and the quality was not very good, but it was not very bad either.
He stopped the convoy to find fault, but he couldn't find anything wrong with Dong Yunju at the moment, this old thing not only gave an extra 2,000 catties, but also gave copper, which was an overfulfillment of the task.
"Did Dong Yunju marry that cook?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head to look at the thief, that day Dong Yunju robbed the daughter of the lord of Luming Valley, he was entrusted by Luming Valley to ask for someone, and saw that the big fat man in Dong Yunju married some thin women who were weak and couldn't help the wind, and on a whim he gave Dong Yunju a marriage, forcing Dong Yunju to marry a big fat woman who cooked.
"Marryed, married, married, my lord was glorified, and he married the next day. The thief smiled carefully.
"Are you pregnant?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again, his marriage to Dong Yunju was purely a punishment for Dong Yunju, worried that Dong Yunju would not have a cave room with the fat woman, and he also put down cruel words, if the fat woman was not pregnant next autumn, he would go over to give Dong Yunju a funeral.
"The adults laughed, how can it be so fast. The thief laughed.
I couldn't find anything wrong, so I could only give up, but Wu Zhongyuan was still a little unwilling, and after groaning, he said to the thief, "Go back and tell Dong Yunju that I have taken charge of the bear clan myself, and I will definitely go to Taiping Village in the autumn of the next year." ”
The thief congratulated repeatedly, "Congratulations, congratulations, don't worry, I will definitely bring the words." ”
"Hmm. Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "That's it, you can continue to hurry, the bear clan is seriously short of food and grass, and I have to go out to collect and raise." ”
"Oh, oh, slow down, sir. "The thief gave up.
Wu Zhongyuan controlled the Qinglong Armor to lift off the ground and continue south.
The temperature was very low in the evening of winter, but Wu Zhongyuan's face was always hot, not because the Qinglong Armor could block the cold, but because the previous words were too ungraceful, so he almost asked for it directly.
It is said that people are poor and short-minded, horses are thin and long, this is not false at all, not to mention the false name of the Yellow Emperor, only to say that as the Great Wu of the Bear Clan, you always have to pay attention to your image, but now it is really not the time to be cool and handsome, there is still a gap of 170,000 catties, so you can only make it up little by little.
He has been to the southern wilderness many times, but most of the time is the middle line, this time he did not take the old road, but to the west for hundreds of miles, to the south at the same time deliberately pay attention to the following villages and tribes, but along the way to see are some dilapidated villages, a look at the life is not easy, no matter how difficult it can not hit the idea of poor households.
At the second watch, they arrived at Goat Valley, took off their armor and floated to the ground, and walked into the town on foot.
Because the weather was very cold, there were not many people in the night market, Wu Zhongyuan had something on his mind, and he was not in the mood to visit the night market, so he went directly to the West Street restaurant.
Goat Valley is equivalent to the red lamp area of later generations, extravagant is very extravagant, there are a lot of good food in the restaurant, Wu Zhongyuan invited the old blind man to have a meal last time, there is a flying dragon soup during the banquet, the so-called flying dragon is naturally not a real dragon, but a wild bird, the soup is very delicious, and there are this kind of ingredients in the store this time.
If it had been before, he would have ordered this dish, but the hunger and cold of the people he had seen yesterday had been flashing in his mind, and he felt guilty about the extravagance of his diet, so he ordered a bowl of noodles and a pickle.
In the morning, he drank wine, didn't eat much, and didn't eat lunch at noon, until now he was hungry and was gobbling up, and a person came in outside the door, and when Wu Zhongyuan looked up, the person who came also happened to be looking at him, and the two looked at each other.
The person who came was in his early thirties, tall and thin, with handsome facial features, luxuriously dressed, a jade tree in the wind, a talent, not an outsider, it was the leader of the fox clan, the jade face Thirteen Lang.
Seeing this person, Wu Zhongyuan's eyes lit up instantly, great, I want to eat Wang Ba came to a turtle, 100 days of rice is produced from the fox clan, even if everyone in the world is short of food, the fox clan is definitely not lacking.
"Oh, my lord, I'm glad I am. Thirteen Lang stepped forward slowly.
"Brother Wang, what a coincidence. Wu Zhongyuan got up and raised his hand.
Thirteen Lang is not surnamed Wang, but he is the Fox King, Wu Zhongyuan is also a king, he calls Thirteen Lang the royal brother is both an honorific title and a close title, Thirteen Lang is also very useful for this title, and sat on the other side of Wu Zhongyuan with his clothes, "Cold days and winter nights, adults are not enjoying leisure in Middle-earth, what are you doing in this Goat Valley?"
"Brother Wang's wives and concubines are in groups, don't hug left and right in Wangcheng, what are you doing when you run out?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.
"I'm idle, come out for a walk," Thirteen Lang said, after speaking, he squinted slightly, observing Wu Zhongyuan's complexion, "Oh, I haven't seen you for many days, the adults have cultivated and reached the peak, which is gratifying." ”
"Congratulations, congratulations. Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand and was humble, Thirteen Lang was originally Dongyuan Purple Qi, earlier he exchanged the Taixuan Pill for the grain of 100 days, and now Thirteen Lang has also been promoted to Taixuan.
"TOEFL, TOEFL. "Thirteen Lang returned the salute.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan's meal was simple, Shisanlang complimented, "My lord is really diligent and thrifty, and he doesn't call for some meat and wine," Speaking of this, he turned his head and shouted at the guy, "There are a few good dishes for us, and the best wine is also moved to two jars, by the way, the door is closed, don't let the idlers in." ”
When Thirteen Lang was talking to the guy, Wu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to look at Thirteen Lang carefully, there were a few small drops of blood on the placket of Thirteen Lang's clothes, and there were also subtle lung sounds when he spoke, which showed that Thirteen Lang had done something with someone not long ago, and he had suffered a loss.
Thirteen Lang is not surprised to fight with people, this guy is a playboy, he is not at home all day, he wanders around blindly outside all day long, it is not right to say that he is wandering around, to be exact, he is looking for flowers and asking willows outside, and it doesn't matter whether he is a famous flower or not, he is not wrong, and fighting with someone is likely to be because he is jealous, or he may have hooked up with a married woman and was beaten by her husband.
But what puzzled him was that Thirteen Lang was already a Taixuan cultivator, and the aura cultivation of the person who could hurt him was at least a deep purple Taixuan, and only Dong Yunju was a man among the three major Taixuan masters in the Southern Wilderness, and Liu Jin'e of the Silkworm Valley and Wan Shanhong of Yanyun Mountain were all women, could it be that this guy stole to Taipingzhai?
Thirteen Lang called for wine and food, and then turned back to talk to Wu Zhongyuan, he had previously sent his clansmen north to Zhongtu to guide the sowing skills of 100 days, this time asking whether Wu Zhongyuan had any other technical problems in farming.
Although Shisanlang mentioned the hundred days, Wu Zhongyuan did not take the opportunity to ask for food, because he found that Shisanlang was obviously a little overzealous, and Shisanlang was injured, in addition, it has been seven or eight days since the change in Daqiu, and the news should have reached the Southern Wilderness, but Shisanlang does not seem to know that he is already in the position of the bear clan Great Wu, which means that Shisanlang has been staying in a place where he is not very well-informed for a period of time, and all kinds of signs indicate that Shisanlang is likely to have something to ask him for help.
Don't rush to make a request, just observe first and see what Jusan Lang wants to ask him to do.
Since Shisanlang asked about the hundred days, Wu Zhongyuan seemed to ask casually how the fox clan's harvest was this year, and Shisanlang replied casually, "It's not bad." ’
After confirming that the fox clan was having a better time, Wu Zhongyuan was relieved, and when the wine and food came up, he pushed the cup with Thirteen Lang to change the lamp.
Thirteen Lang obviously had something on his mind, and he didn't eat much, so the store also made the flying dragon that Wu Zhongyuan wanted to eat the most, which happened to be cheap for him.
Although Thirteen Lang was injured, he persuaded him to drink vigorously, and seeing him like this, Wu Zhongyuan became more and more convinced that Thirteen Lang had a request for him.
Seeing that Thirteen Lang did not open his mouth to ask for help, Wu Zhongyuan encouraged him in disguise, and the method of encouragement was also very simple, complimenting Thirteen Lang for being a friend enough, stressing righteousness, not only exchanging the unique 100-day rice grain of the fox clan to them, but also sending technicians to teach them how to plant, worried about missing the sowing solar terms, and let the technicians go by plane, the so-called plane is naturally not a real plane, and the person sent by the fox clan that day was sitting on an old crane.
Under Wu Zhongyuan's "encouragement" and inducement, Shisanlang finally spoke, but instead of speaking, he took a long breath.
It's okay to take a breath, which means that Thirteen Lang is loose, Wu Zhongyuan struck while the iron was hot, "Brother Wang, what difficulties did you encounter?"
"Alas, it's hard to put into words. Thirteen Lang shook his head and sighed.
"Brother Wang has any difficulties, but it doesn't matter, you and I are friends, friends are in trouble, so we should help each other and spare no effort. Wu Zhongyuan began to pave the way for the future borrowing of grain.
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Thirteen Lang took a toast to show his gratitude, and when he put down the wine glass, he said, "Brother Fool has been very depressed recently, and he is miserable. ”
"I want to hear about it. Wu Zhongyuan said.
Thirteen Lang wanted to speak and stopped, but after hesitation, he still said, "I can't hide it, the foolish brother has a favorite woman, the two are happy, and they have been happy for many years, but there are unforeseen circumstances, and the woman was forcibly occupied by foreign thieves, and the foolish brother went to Minshan several times to rescue, but they were all defeated." ”
"Wait, where are you talking about Minshan?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.
Thirteen Lang nodded in frustration.
"What's that woman's name?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"Fang Ming Dai Niang ......"
