Fangcheng crossed the military tent, and during the banquet, Changdu and Hu Zhen were not affectionate, and they were in love.

Li Zhi is a few years younger than them, and the seasoning from it makes Chang and Hu talk about everything. Chang Bu Biu had a meaning in his heart, he wanted to call the eldest brother and the second brother to get acquainted with him, intending to become a peddler.

Why does Changdu have such an idea?

Especially this time, as the main general, seeing those people die in front of him, although he was the enemy, he also trembled in his heart afterwards.

So I thought of myself, after all, I was in my fifties. The battle array is ruthless, and you die suddenly, although you will be blessed for your descendants, what if you change the dynasty? The next dynasty is the enemy's master, who the hell will still care about you? Why do you still engage in trafficking, let you kill and conquer, change the dynasty, and always live a good life without delay.

No wonder the eldest brother and the second brother are no longer rushing to speak this time, and they are no longer rushing to go on the expedition. It should be the same as what you think.

Chang Bu Biu thought about it and secretly remembered it in his heart.

I plan to succeed in arresting river thieves, form a righteous alliance with Hu Zhen, and take care of your mother's Tang Dynasty, and Lao Tzu will go to sell and fight his own dealers. Even if you die on the road of trafficking, it is as strong as the fear of the army every day. Juniors can earn fame as much as they can, so let them go.

This is the fixed mindset. After all, he has been trafficking for decades, and the last two generations have been kelp dealers, and the fame and fortune set up by the imperial court cannot penetrate his soul. Why?

Because they have their own set, in which the system of words and deeds, rules, exquisiteness, profit and loss, rich and poor, is very regular. Although there is no written theory in front of the world, which successful peddler is not an encyclopedic business economy.

If they were all written as books, that scale would overshadow the texts of any school of thought.

The feast is over, and it is necessary to say goodbye. Hu Zhen understands Chang Bubiu's mood very well and is reluctant to give up.

After all, General Chang is the marshal of this crackdown, and he is in the trafficking world, so it is difficult to say what he means. He believed that General Chang would soon find him, and he also searched for the peddler's righteousness.

Li Zhi of Baima County took Ren Deng, the commander of the Yicheng Army, Cao Cao Zhengfangyong, and the four apprentices of Ding Hu Zhen, Hu Liao, Chuiyi, and Niu Huang to say goodbye together.

Chang Du took Hu Zhen's hand, repeatedly prophesied, and visited on a different day. Hu Zhen said that he was waiting for the arrival at any time and was reluctant to say goodbye.

The next day, the high punctuation is finished. Changdu made the lacquer carving blue horse write a good report. The situation of exterminating Xi Yan and the merits of the school captains, and the merits of Li Zhi and others in Baima County, are written one by one. The righteousness of sending Hu Zhen to the official is also clearly explained. Order the fast horse to report to Xue Shangshu.

Three small bands of river pirates were destroyed. Now free up your hands and concentrate on dealing with the thieves of Confucius and Mencius.

In the blink of an eye, the ten-day deadline came, and on this morning, Guo Ruibi, Tao She, and Karakutsu responded and handed over the order.

They were one hundred and ten male and female guards, divided into thirty groups. Each brought ten groups, dressed as people, and spread rumors among the Yellow River and canals. Yesterday afternoon, I had returned to Fangchengdu, and I knew the situation of the battle these days, and the three small groups of river thieves were either captured or killed or surrendered, and they all regretted that they could not participate in the battle and killed the enemy with their own hands.

Last night, Guo Ruibi summarized the situation of the two teams of Tao She and Karakuri. Today's point is over, and one by one to the main general Chang Bu Bi Yu.

In the process of spreading rumors, Karakuri encountered a strange event, which was very likely to be an opportunity to exterminate the river thieves of the Mengzhi people. Speaking of which, Guo Ruibi asked Ji Yundu to tell the master general.

"The day before yesterday, I took two male guards, pretending to be brothers and sisters, and spreading rumors. Walk to the west of the canal in the lower reaches of Cangshui, and then go west is the Huangmeng Village of the Mengzhi people, where there is a village called Jiuwu Village. We were curious about the name of the village and couldn't help but ask the local elders. ”

The old man of the wine vortex village told a strange story.

Cangshui Poison Dragon Meng Zhiren Meng Mingui, although he is a descendant of the Meng family, he does not like to learn literature since he was a child, and he loves martial arts. It stands to reason that people who practice martial arts do not believe in ghosts and gods. The Mengzhi people are extremely superstitious about ghosts and gods, and every time they buy and sell river bandits, they must burn incense and pray.

Aren't you telling yourself if you do bad things and pray to God?

Ji Yundu said with a smile: "Someone took advantage of the Mengzhi people to believe in ghosts and gods and deliberately made them bad. And guess what?"

Isn't it necessary to pray before doing bad deeds? There must be a pig's head and a bar. The pig's head can also be replaced with carp and rooster. The Mengzhi people themselves like to eat fish, and often make large offerings of carp.

On two occasions, the brothers who had gone out to do bad things were cleaned up by the men on a large boat on the canal. Although there are lives, one by one they are either chopped off a finger, or they are cut off their noses and ears, which is miserable. Later, the ship was never seen again, it was estimated that it was from Yuanzhou, so it was like this.

was so angry that the Meng Zhi people screamed, and they couldn't find who it was to take revenge. He didn't blame himself for the poor arrangement, but he looked for reasons in worship and prayer.

So some people said that there is a wine vortex village in the lower reaches of Cangshui. The reason why it is so called is because in this section of the water, there is a large whirlpool in the middle of the current. Taking water from this whirlpool, the Cangshui shochu brewed is mellow and clear, with an endless aftertaste, and the fragrance is ten miles. Therefore, this village is called Jiuwuzu Village.

If we also make some water brewing in the whirlpool, such a good wine, dedicated to the gods, there will inevitably be a response. Do you think, let's make a fortune with Cangshui, you don't worship the best wine and meat in Cangshui, can the gods not be angry?

Meng Zhiren felt that it was reasonable, and immediately asked someone to bring the boss's bucket and drive the boat to the wine vortex to get water.

The boat went, and immediately disappeared into the great whirlpool. Later, he sent a big boat, but he was still swept into the bottom of the river by a huge whirlpool. No matter how big or small, once it disappears, there is no trace of it. There was neither a ship nor a man in sight.

Cangshui Poison Dragon lives in the family of Huangmeng Village and has two elder brothers. One is called Meng Zhitian, and the other is called Meng Zhidi, and they do not join him in the same stream.

Meng Zhitian has been in the iron business for more than 20 years, specializing in Yongxing County, Ezhou, Wu State.

Meng Zhidi has been in the copper business for 18 or 9 years, specializing in Pinglu County, Shaanxi.

Knowing that the two brothers were not with him, but because no one dared to fetch water, he ran back to his hometown and knelt down and begged the two brothers to help him get water. Meng Zhitian and Meng Zhidi were begged, and they drove a boat to Jiuwu Village to get water, but they were also disappeared by the huge whirlpool and the boat.

However, half a year later, someone in Ji County sold kelp in Penglai, Dengzhou, and met his two elder brothers. Asked how it was in Penglai?

Meng Zhitian and Meng Zhidi said that they were swept to Penglai by the whirlpool of the water. As soon as I woke up, I lay on the beach of the Pingshan River in Penglai County. Hurriedly find the Dragon Temple and kneel down to thank the Dragon God for his immortality. The dragon god actually spoke, asking them to live in Penglai from now on to redeem the sin of disrespect that collided with the dragon god of Cangshui.

When the kelp seller in Ji County came home and talked about it, it quickly spread to Jiuwu Village, and also to the nearby Huangmeng Village, which naturally reached the ears of the Mengzhi people. The Meng Zhi people immediately found the kelp dealer and asked for details.

According to the address mentioned by the kelp dealer, he personally went to Penglai County to look for the two elder brothers, but there was no such village at all, and there was no shadow of the two elder brothers.

Meng Zhiren lived in Penglai County that night and had a dream. Meng Zhitian and Meng Zhidi confessed to him, and from then on they lived in Penglai and did not see their families, so that they could concentrate on atonement. I want him to go home in peace.

Shocked, Meng Zhiren woke up immediately, and went to that place at dawn to look for the two elder brothers. This time there was a harvest, and I saw two cows, grazing there, and when I saw him coming, I nodded at him with tears in my eyes. He was about to go up and touch it, but the two cows "mooed" and ran away.

Meng Zhiren fell ill when he returned home on this trip to Penglai County. Later, he was cast by the Taoist priest of Youfang, and he got better. But he didn't give up, saying that as long as someone could help him get the whirlpool water of Jiuwu Village, he would become a brother and tell him to go up the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, and die, and all obey.

When Chang Buqu heard the words "selling kelp", he suddenly felt a thrill in his heart.

Who else sells kelp in Ji County?

There have been three generations of kelp traffickers, and the big one is the head of the kelp trader. Outside of Chaoge City, the kelp in twenty or thirty counties in several prefectures in this area was all approved by his family.

When he said this, Chang Du asked her: "Yundu, you said that this Jixian seaweed seller, what is the name? ”
