Chapter 193: Showing a Hand
Fang Ling had heard a lot about his uncle from his mother, and he heard that he was familiar with military books when he was a teenager, practiced martial arts diligently, and had a bit of military talent, although he wanted to reuse it, but he couldn't help but glance at his mother and grandfather.
Zhizi Mo Ruomu, Su Shi didn't know what he was thinking, so he chuckled and said: "Ling'er, you fulfilled your uncle's wish, he wanted to be a general since he was a child, and now he finally has a chance, if you refuse him, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep at night." ”
Su Tiance also laughed and said: "Yes, but in order to convince the public, this assessment is unavoidable." ”
Su Wenguang patted his chest and laughed heroically: "No problem, Ling'er, you can rest assured, Uncle will not embarrass you, what assessment is." ”
Su Wei also said at this time: "Cousin, what do you think I can do to help? Although my martial arts are ordinary and I haven't read any books, I can't stand idly by and watch the fiefdom is in great difficulty." ”
Everyone was so enthusiastic to help, Fang Ling was greatly moved, his nose was a little sour, since he was a child, he grew up in the cold palace, the so-called relatives are his father who has not come to see him for sixteen years and his second half-brother prince, their ruthlessness and ruthlessness are engraved in the deepest place in his heart.
However, the relatives on my mother's side are completely different, because the fief is in trouble, even if the body has just recovered, they have to help go into battle to kill the enemy and dedicate their own strength.
Fang Ling took a deep breath, buried this emotion in his heart, and secretly swore that for the sake of the loveliest relatives and the people of this fiefdom, this trip to the grassland would be successful!
After resting for the night, in the early morning of the second day, Fang Ling embarked on the road to the northern grassland.
The steppes in the north of the land not only border the Chu State, but also have contact with other countries such as the Cai State, across the northernmost part of the land, the area known for its abundant water and grass is rich in cattle, sheep and horses, especially the legendary sweat and blood horse.
In order to seize the bloody horses and this fertile land, the rulers of the south of the land and the grassland tribes have had countless battles, countless warriors died on the battlefield, but they also left a moving legend, and spread the fierceness of the grassland people to all parts of the land.
Fang Ling and his party were not many, he only brought Song Ying'er, Lu Bei and Hao Tieniu and other guards with him, and came to Yinha City on the third day after leaving the northern border pass.
Yinha City is one of the few small border towns built on the border between the two places, and there are no officials such as city lords here, but only a place for merchants from the two places to trade goods.
Unlike other countries on the earth, the steppe tribes were nomadic peoples, and at first they did not have fixed cities, but they migrated from abundance to grassland and lived in domes, and it was only later in contact with the southern countries that a few cities were gradually established, such as this small city for trading.
Although it is only a small city, everything in the city seems very rough, but it is very lively.
It's not the first time Fang Ling has come here, he has been here many times in the past three years in order to buy a bloody BMW, so this time he came here and was familiar with the car.
As far as the steppe people are concerned, all the people south of the steppe are called southerners, and the steppe people and southerners are very different in appearance, they are much taller than the southerners, their eyes are quite deep, the bridge of the nose is high, most of them have beards, their hair is tied into long whips, they wear leather clothes and hats, and they speak in a rough voice, all of which look heroic.
In Yinha City, there are a lot of southerners, and the number of grassland people is not inferior.
It didn't take long for the group to come to a shop in the center of the city, outside the shop, a bearded grassland man was chatting with his companions, and when he saw Fang Ling coming, he immediately stood up and said with a hearty smile: "Brother Fang, it's been a long time." ”
"It's been some time, how is Uncle Sa doing lately?" Fang Ling also greeted with a smile, this thirty-five or sixteen-year-old man named Sadong, is a horse dealer with some strength in the city, and many sweaty and bloody horses in the fief were bought from him, so Fang Ling is also a big customer of his, although he doesn't come much, but every time he comes, he is generous.
And Sadong also seemed to be very upright and generous in contact, and he kept his promise, so Fang Ling also trusted him a lot.
"It's so-so. Saton laughed loudly as he beckoned everyone to sit down.
Fang Ling gestured to Hao Tieniu, and several guards took down the jar of wine brought from the carriage and put it in the shop.
Sadong unceremoniously opened a jar and smelled it, his eyes lit up, and he praised it: "With such a strong aroma of wine, it must be good wine, why, Brother Fang has changed to a wine business now?"
"I'm here to bother me this time, and these drinks are for Uncle Sa. Fang Ling smiled slightly, the grassland does not grow crops such as sorghum, so there is no wine, and the things he drinks are only drinks such as horse milk, and in the later contact with the southerners, wine has become a necessity for the grassland people to go down to the commoners and to the nobles, especially the spirits are the most loved by the grassland people with a bold personality.
Song Ying'er smiled sweetly on the side: "Uncle Sa, what my son-in-law gave you is not ordinary wine, this is a special roasted knife that has been stored in our local cellar for decades, the taste is extremely strong, the entrance is like a red-hot blade, and it is like a hot flame when swallowed in the stomach." ”
Sadong was immediately overjoyed, and said with a wave of his big hand: "I have drunk a lot of burning knives, but this special burning knife that has been stored for decades must be tasted, come here, bring a big bowl!"
Several grassland men shouted, came over with a few big bowls, one person held a bowl, Sadong took a bowl and handed it to Fang Ling, and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, thank you for the wine, Miss Song, do you want a bowl?"
Although the steppe people's actions seem rude, they are straightforward, and the method without the slightest intrigue, is more worry-free.
Song Ying'er heard him ask, so she didn't hesitate to take a bowl over, and then said, "I can drink it, but after drinking this wine, can you not help my son-in-law's busy uncle?"
Sadong couldn't help laughing heartily, patted his chest and said, "Okay, as long as Miss Song can drink this bowl of wine, I will help you too!" Update the fastest computer:/
Song Ying'er smiled enchantingly, drank the bowl of spirits clean with a sip, and then lit up the bottom of the bowl without blushing and heartbeat.
All the grassland men couldn't help but applaud in unison, and Sadong let out an earth-shattering laugh, drank the wine with Fang Ling and the others, and praised directly: "It's really strong enough, it's really delicious enough!" Brother Fang, you have a good amount of alcohol, I didn't expect the little girl around me to drink so well, okay, I'm helping with this favor, Brother Fang, just say it!"
Fang Ling smiled, Song Ying'er didn't have any amount of alcohol, but it was not difficult to suppress the stimulation of this strong wine with his own strength, so he said: "I want to go to Blue Wolf City, I don't know if Uncle Sa can help find the guide, he must be a trustworthy person, and as for the honorarium, it will never be less." ”
"Brother Fang is going to Blue Wolf City, that's a long way to go. Sadong was a little surprised, but he didn't hesitate for a moment, and said to a man next to him, Nunu, "Go and call Sachar." ”
After a while, a young man of 26 or 7 years old came out from behind, he looked quite similar to Sadong, and his body was also tall and big.
Sadong opened his mouth and asked, "Sachar, do you know the way from here to Blue Wolf City?"
Sachar nodded humbly and said, "Yes." ”
Sadong smiled at Fang Ling and said: "This is my own nephew, don't look at him and don't talk much, but he is very familiar with the road between the five tribes on this grassland, and it is not bad to let him be a guide, and Brother Fang can trust him as much as he trusts me." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but admonish, "I know that Brother Fang wants to do big business, but you must be careful along the way, the five tribes are chaotic enough now, and there is no shortage of horse thieves on the grassland, you must remember that life is the most important, and property is second!"
Fang Ling hugged his fists gratefully and said: "Thank you Uncle Sa for reminding me, I must remember it, and you can rest assured, we are just going to do business, we will not ask for trouble, and we will definitely protect his safety as your nephew." ”
As soon as they heard this, Sadong and the others couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, Sadong glanced at the guards in Fang Ling, and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, you are saying the opposite, my nephew is a famous strong man in our clan, and he is the one who protects you!"
After saying that, he said to Sachar: "You go and show your hand to Brother Fang!"
Sachar answered, and strode to the open space in front of the shop, where there was a large grinding disc, weighing at least three or four hundred pounds.
Sachar hugged his hands, and then shouted, and picked up the millstone from the ground, and then let go of his hand, the millstone fell to the ground, and it seemed that the whole city was shaken, and Sachar just sighed, and did not feel much difficulty. Starting
Fang Ling couldn't help but be a little surprised, even Hao Tieniu and the others, although their cultivation had reached the realm of rigid strength, it would take some effort to pick up such a heavy grinding plate, but this person had never practiced martial arts at first glance and picked up the grinding plate so easily, which showed that he was born with divine power.
He praised him, "Brother Sachar is really brave enough to keep us safe on this journey, so it seems that I need to add two taels of silver." ”
Sadong stretched out his big fan-like hand, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Fang, you don't have to be polite, since I promised to send you over, then this bodyguard thing along the way is naturally due." What's more, I also happened to ask Sachar to bring me a letter back to the family, I was busy with business this year, and I haven't gone back yet. ”
As he spoke, he said, "Wait a minute, I'll write a letter, and I'll let Sachar accompany you to set off later!"
