Chapter 78: Find a way to form an alliance
Chuzhou is not rich, not big or small, with 40,000 defenders. From this point of view www.biquge.info this city is not a hard bone that is difficult to gnaw, but if you look at the topography of Chuzhou, I am afraid that most of the military experts with real talents and practical learning have given a "easy to defend and difficult to attack" strategic point evaluation. A city surrounded by hills on three sides, crossed by waterways, and surrounded by natural barriers, if you are determined to defend it, it is indeed difficult to fight it.
The carriage driven by the young couple came to a slow halt, and the two settled down in an inn closest to the city gates.
It was still dark, and the couple were the only ones in the house. The man took out a transcoding disc made of twelve concentric circles, looked at his lover with a smile and said, "Lady, what do you say my husband's name this time?"
The beautiful woman pouted, glanced at her man softly, and then smiled warmly: "It's not all you who transferred it out, but unfortunately I haven't heard of it, and I won't use this thing to name my child in the future." ”
The man scratched his head and said helplessly: "I always feel that when the big boss gave me this plate, he laughed with a look of conspiracy, and he made a name for me." Yes, look, don't cross the river, I don't want to go up the mountain. No, I'll have to talk to the big boss when I go back. ”
The beautiful woman pursed her lips and smiled, got up and took her husband's hand and smiled: "But the river is just a river, I broke a hairpin before, and now it's still early, let's go to the market." ”
The man whose name became "Mo Crossing the River" happened to staggered with a team of Hu merchants when he took his beloved wife to the inn. The Hu people who were the leader stared at the beautiful woman, in short, he just fell where his eyes shouldn't go, but fortunately, except for eating tofu with his eyes, there was no quarrel between the two sides.
Hu Shang, who was the leader, asked for a full room, but he looked around and no one paid attention to him, and went directly into the back kitchen, and went down to the dark room two feet deep underground from a secret door.
When the shopkeeper who had been waiting here saw this person, he immediately knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and said in a low voice: "Seventy-one has seen Swallow Tianlang." ”
The Hu merchant man, who was respectfully called "Swallowing Tianlang", naturally accepted the other party's big gift, sat down in the chair and asked, "How is it in the city?"
"At least three forces have been identified as operating, the Tianyin Sect, the Ziweng Mountain, and the Lotus Sect. There are also three unidentified ones, one of which I suspect is the killer group that once formed a relationship with the Yuntian faction, and the other two are not clear. ”
It seems that there is more than one person who pays attention to Zhang Yun who has reappeared in the rivers and lakes. Swallowing Tianlang's mind moved, the more intertwined the forces in this Chuzhou city were, the more beneficial it would be for his purpose.
After a while, Swallow got up and left the secret room, and did not give any instructions to the shopkeeper numbered seventy-one, if it didn't matter if he was to be a good shopkeeper.
Mo Guohe wandered around the market with his wife, and soon found a stall selling hairpin ornaments. With a clever mouth and his wife's beauty, Mo Guohe cut a peach hairpin worth one tael to the point of a hundred yuan.
In the "fearful" sight of the surrounding vendors, Mo Guohe, who was not bad at his face, bought a whole body of clothes for his wife at a great discount. In the end, if he hadn't shown that he was a private merchant selling silk, and he could give the goods at a good price, the owner of the silk village that had been cut down by bargaining would have picked up the bench and drove people away.
She has long been accustomed to her man's ability to save money, and the soft and delicate woman has always quietly looked at her husband's side face, who told her to completely fall from the first sight of this person?
Although I still feel a little guilty every time I think of the sad and angry appearance of my parents back then, it is easy to be diluted by the love for the man in front of me. The beautiful woman suddenly frowned slightly, gently tugged at her husband's sleeve, and said softly: "Husband, the benefit is a win-win situation, the boss has already given us a fair price, so there is no need to fight anymore." ”
Mo Guohe is obviously the only one who is looking forward to his wife, and the philistine who was full of his face a moment ago has become like a Taoist gentleman with benevolence and righteousness at this moment. He patted the shoulder of the boss who was about to be "chopped" by him to the point of foaming at the mouth: "Everyone is a real person, you go to me tomorrow to get the goods, and make sure you think you have made money." ”
Seeing the husband and wife leave, the boss didn't even go to the servants who secretly watched him being "cut" by the man, but just stood there in a daze and thought, this man is also "real"? Who in the sky has to be ten million times more real than him?
picked a good restaurant, Mo Guohe took his wife to the highest three floors and sat down. This time, he was not stingy, he ordered enough food for five taels of silver, and what he gave to the second child of the shop was not a treasure banknote, but a real silver ingot.
"The person who passed outside the store just now was so bloody. The beautiful woman's voice was still soft, and she did not look at her husband when she spoke, not because of disrespect, but because her distinctive eyes were constantly sweeping the crowd below.
Mo Guohe smiled, then took a large chopstick and put the steamed fish in front of his wife, and then spoke: "It's not a big city, but it's very lively." You say, are they all here to find that Zhang Yun boy?"
In just a few glances, the beautiful woman's brows frowned three times. She smiled and sent the things that her husband had given her a little bit into the cherry sip, and she didn't mean to reply, because Mo Guohe didn't need anyone to answer at this time.
Sure enough, Mo Guohe still kept putting vegetables on his wife, and he didn't forget to remind him in his mouth: "Eat it while it's hot, the signature of this house is this venison stewed with three fresh, except for the steamed carp." Zhang Yun, this kid is really unlucky, I thought that if we came to trouble him, it would be enough for him to drink a pot, but he didn't expect that there would be more people from the Tianyin Sect. This broken religion has changed the name of the Heaven and Earth Eradication Society, and wants to hide the Yin people, but I don't know that there are many people who want to Yin it. ”
Swallowing the Chinese dishes in the bowl, Mo Guohe on the other side no longer picks up the vegetables, because the amount of food at this time is just the state of the beautiful woman's fullness. The beautiful woman smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe her lips, and rinsed her mouth with tea, before she said loudly: "There are also people from Ziweng Mountain and the White Lotus Sect. Nine times out of ten, the inn encountered was a spy of the Yuan Court, and there were no weak people in the group. ”
Mo Guohe raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Needless to say, there are still masters in the White Lotus Sect? Han Shantong's waste will never become a big deal." The White Lotus Sect will never be able to override the Red Turban Army, and any use of religion to unify the army is nonsense. ”
Mo Guohe Yan stopped talking, and for a while, only the third floor of the two of them was quiet.
"Alliance?" the beautiful woman thought for a moment, and was the first to break the peace.
Mo Guohe was stunned for a moment, nodded after seeing the meaning in his wife's eyes, and smiled a little more coldly and cruelly: "Yes, I want to find a way to form an alliance." But only until that cloud is captured by us. ”
