Volume 1: The Dragon's Trapped Shoals Chapter 47: Natural Dwelling
In the Xiangyang City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Yi was discussing with Zhou Yu and others in the study.
"A certain family is going to let Gong Jin and Haoran go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to seek official positions, I don't know what everyone thinks?" Zhou Yi looked around at the people present and said slowly.
After waiting for a long time, I saw Zhou Hua, who had a bit of Confucian demeanor, come out of the ranks, "There is no problem for the master to ask for an official, but if Gongjin and Haoran bring some family members, in case they meet any robbers along the way, ordinary robbers will naturally say that our family can solve it, but if there are one or two warriors, then Hao Ran will have to go out, so I think that Guan Hai and others should be brought with them." β
Zhou Yi frowned when he heard this, "This matter is not appropriate, Xiangyang City still needs someone to sit in charge, and Guan Hai should now be a second-rate martial artist among the martial artists, and there are few who can beat him, and he will guard it here, so a certain family can rest assured that after all, I don't know when I will come back!" β
Zhou Hu took a step forward, "The head of the family should let Guan Hai go, there is a certain family in Xiangyang City and Zhou Kai, Zhou Hua, Deng Mao, and Cheng Yuan, I dare not say that it is not something that ordinary people can destroy!" β
Zhou Yiyan nodded slightly, "During the time when Gongjin and Haoran left, Zhou Hu led Deng Mao and Cheng Yuanzhi to continue to participate in the blood experience, after all, according to Haoran, there is not much time left for us!" Only iron-blooded training can produce an invincible division! β
Zhou Hua spoke again: "The family wants you to let Gong Jin take the seven hundred light horses, so that even if there are warriors on the road, the light horses can be done!" β
"The nonsense light cavalry is now our most elite troops, which equipment is not worth hundreds of taels of gold, if Gong Jin takes them out now, it is not to leak our strength in advance, this time I will go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and let Gong Jin and Haoran and Dian Wei, Zhang He and some family members, as for Zhou Hua, Zhou Kai, and Guan Hai are guarding in Xiangyang City, Zhou Hu, Deng Mao, and Cheng Yuanzhi continue to train!"
On the second day, Zhou Qi and others took 100,000 taels of gold and hundreds of jars of wine to Dongduluo, and Zhang He, who was dressed in fancy clothes at the front of the team, held a spear and led some soldiers who had been on the battlefield to escort the wine in disguise.
Those pedestrians at the gate of Luoyang City couldn't help but flash to the side when they saw Zhou Qi's convoy and the equipment of the family, and Zhou Qi called Zhang He to the side: "Jun Yi will be in front of the city gate in a while, you give us more money and let us pass smoothly, and then find a place to live." β
Hearing this, Zhang He nodded, "obeyed" and walked towards the officers and soldiers at the city gate, sitting on the horse, looking at the tall, short, fat, thin soldiers, frowning unconsciously, and then looking at the general sitting not far away, his face was pale, his steps were vain, and he looked like he was hollowed out with wine, and he despised it even more in his heart: "This military master, we are merchants who have entered Luoyang City, and it is convenient for your old man" said as he said, taking out a cloth bag from his arms and putting it in the general's hand.
The general checked the cloth bag in his hand, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he knew that it was unusual when he looked at the team behind Zhang He, but when he thought of who dared to make trouble in the imperial capital, it was really an old birthday star who had hanged himself for a long time, and he was naturally happy to let it go, "Well, I know at a glance that you are legal businessmen to let go" Putting the cloth bag in his hand into his arms, thinking of the money that went to Yanxiang Pavilion tonight, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
Zhou Qi and his entourage came to an inn called Natural Residence and walked in, Zhang He shouted, "Shopkeeper, this inn has a certain bag, now prepare some good food for us, and transport the things outside the inn to the courtyard" said and put a hundred taels of gold in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was settling accounts when he heard a rough voice saying that he wanted to charter the inn, and he couldn't help but snort and thought in his heart that he was an idiot, we naturally lived in one hundred and eighty taels of silver and said that the package would be packaged, and he looked up and was just about to speak, but when he saw the gold in front of him, he couldn't help but flatter, "This guest officer, you wait a while, I will arrange it for you." β
The shopkeeper shouted to a guy, "Kang San, go and drive all the customers away from the store, just say that the store has been taken over!" β
The guy named Kang San nodded and walked towards the private room, and after a while, guests came down one after another, cursing in their mouths, "What a broken store, we all paid and actually drove us away, Mom's curse, this store will close down immediately!" β
Before the guests could finish muttering, they heard a rumbling sound, a black shadow fell down from the upper floor, smashed the table, and groaned on the ground, when two big men walked down from the upper floor, and one of them said like thunder, "Who is going to drive me away?" Stand up for me, I want to see if you have the ability! β
Seeing such a scene, the shopkeeper couldn't help but shrink his head, pointed at Zhang He and said, "The guest officer is this person who chartered the inn, so I will let you go!" β
Zhou Qi and the others couldn't help frowning when they saw the shopkeeper's actions, and the big man looked at Zhang He, "It's you kid who wants to drive our brothers away, so I want to see how many catties and taels there are" said and put the steel gun in his hand across his chest to prepare to compete with Zhang He.
At this time, the big man on the side said loudly: "Okay, brother Xian, we don't have to worry about such a person, it's better to get down to business, go and see if Ben Chugong can be in the mansion now," he said, and walked outside the store.
When Zhou Qi heard the words of another big man, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said to the big man, "I don't know what this strong man is called?" β
When the big man heard the voice, he looked this way, saw Zhou Qi's eyes and couldn't help but feel disdainful, and then looked at Dian Wei who was holding a double halberd beside him, and couldn't help but light up and said proudly, "My name is Yan Liang!" β
When Zhou Qi heard Yan Liang's words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he said to the big man with a steel gun in his hand, "Presumably you are Wen Chou!" β
The big man with the gun looked at Zhou Qi with a puzzled expression, "How do you know that my name is Wen Chou?" β
Zhou Qi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Just now, which big man said that he was Yan Liang, I knew that you were Wen Chou, because you two have never been focused, Meng Meng has never been focused." β
Yan Liang couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, the disdain in his eyes disappeared, and instead he showed a hint of respect, and said, "I don't know what Mr. is called?" β
Zhou Qi looked at Yan Liang, "It doesn't matter what a certain family is called, the important thing is that a certain family knows that you are going to defect to Yuan Shaoke, right?" β
Yan Liang frowned slightly: "Sir, I just said this, you know that it is a matter of course, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave first!" "Yan Liang doesn't have to be in such a hurry to leave, why don't you have a drink with someone in the inn?"
Yan Liang frowned slightly, "It's not that I don't want to drink with Mr., it's just that this inn is covered by that guy, how can there be a place for us!" β
Zhou Qi couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "What's so difficult about this, Zhang He brought up a few jars of fine wine we brought, and a certain family wants to drink with Yan Liangwen and Chou, two strong men." β
Zhang He on the side whispered, "No!" As he spoke, he ordered the family to bring dozens of jars of wine.
Wen Chou couldn't help but shout when he saw Zhang He's behavior: "Okay! It turns out that it was you kid who wanted to drive the two of us brothers away," he said, and he was about to pick up a gun and stab Zhou Qi.
Seeing this, Yan Liang couldn't help but shout loudly: "Virtuous brother, don't be rude!" β
Wen Chou looked at Zhou Qi with an angry look, but saw the eldest brother take back the steel gun in his hand and turn his face to the side.
Yan Liang looked at Wen Chou helplessly, apologized to Zhou Qi and said, "Sir, don't blame! Virtuous brother is like this, if there is any offense, I hope to bear with me! β
Zhou Qi looked at Wen Chou lightly, and then looked at Zhang He, who was already ready to go, and said, "Zhang He and Dian Wei came over and drank with two strong men with a certain family!" β
Zhang He and Dian Wei glanced at Wen Chou and walked towards Zhou Qi, but Zhou Yu looked at all this with a smile on his face, because he believed that his younger brother Zhou Qi would definitely have good intentions in doing this.
Zhou Qi and the five of them sat at the table and opened the wine, and the aroma of the wine was scattered, Wen Chou's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said, "Good wine", and he picked up a jar and wanted to drink it.
Yan Liang on the side looked at Zhou Qi and said, "I don't know where did you buy this wine, sir?" "This wine is a certain home-brewed strong man, if you like it, I will give you a few jars in a while."
Yan Liang hurriedly thanked Zhou Qi when he heard Zhou Qi's words.
Zhou Qi took a sip: "Yan Liangzhuang, I don't know how you thought of defecting to Yuan Shao?" β
Mr. Yan Liang didn't know, I and my virtuous brother were famous generals in Hebei, and when the first prince heard about us, he ordered someone to pass on the message, and ordered me to go to him. β
Zhou Qi glanced at his mouth, "Yuan Shao is ambitious and wise, fierce and timid, it is difficult for such a person to achieve great things, how about the two of them and a certain family?" β
Wen Chou couldn't help but say loudly when he heard Zhou Qi's words: "Hmph, Ben Chu Gong is the family of the fourth and third princes, and his protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials are all over the world, what kind of thing are you!" β
Zhang He heard Wen Chou's insult, Zhou Qi said angrily, "You fierce man, my lord kindly asked you to vote for you, but I don't know how to see a certain family teach you a lesson," he said, lifting the silver gun in his hand and stabbing at Wen Chou.
When Wen Chou saw Zhang He's movements, he saw the steel gun stabbing at him, and Yan Liang on the side saw that he was busy trying to stop it, but was stopped by Zhou Qi.
"Yan Liang, why don't you take a look at the competition between Wen Chou and Zhang He, if there is danger, it's not too late to stop it," he said, holding his hand around Yan Liang, who was about to get up.
Yan Liang just wanted to get up but was held by a hand, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free, and looked at Zhou Qi who was looking at Wen Chou and Zhang He with a smile on his face, and secretly thought in his heart, it seems that he has met a master, and he looked at Wen Chou in the competition anxiously.
At this time, Zhang He and Wen Chou were already fighting in the middle of the inn, and the silver spear in Zhang He's hand stabbed at Wen Chou's head like a dragon out of the river.
Wen Chou couldn't help shouting when he saw the stabbing gun, "It's just right", and he also stabbed the steel gun in his hand at the head of the stabbing gun.
Bite! With a sound, the two shots collided, and the sparks shot out, Wen Chou took three steps back, on the other hand, Zhang He might as well take five steps back, Zhang He thought to himself, "This fierce man really has some ability, otherwise the master wouldn't want them, but this power is big enough!" β
Wen Chou laughed and said, "It's been enjoyable, no one can fight with me for a long time!" Boy, what else do you have to do, just use it! β
When Zhang He heard this, he shouted, "Dance to find out the shadow", and instantly danced out of the shadow of the gun in the sky and stabbed at Wen Chou.
Wen Chou saw the shadow of the gunfire in the sky, and a solemn look appeared on his face, and instead of retreating, he shouted: "Contrary to the barrier!" Suddenly, a shadow of a gun appeared in front of him, forming a wall.
Between the lightning and flint, Zhang He and Wen Chou collided with each other's moves. Rumble!
The ground around the two cracked and a whirlwind rolled up, and Zhang He looked at Wen Chou opposite, "You are very good, you can actually catch the dance of a certain family to figure out the shadow." β
Wen Chou grinned and said, "Haha, you are not bad, you can actually break through my opposite barrier, and come back again, I haven't met an opponent like you for a long time," said the steel gun in his hand and stabbed at Zhang He again.
Yan Liang, who was beside Zhou Qi, saw the competition between the two, and couldn't help but raise his throat, afraid that Wen Chou would have some accidents, and almost wanted to stop him, but he was held by Zhou Qi's natural divine power and couldn't move.
Zhou Qi looked at Yan Liang beside him and grinned, "You are very worried!" Yan Liang hurriedly said, "Sir, please let them stop, in case they get hurt, it's not good!" β
Zhou Qi nodded when he heard this: "Okay! Since you've said so, a certain family will let them stop. "Zhang He, stop it, don't compare it anymore, come back and drink the bar!"
When Zhang He heard this, he immediately withdrew his hand and walked towards Zhou Qi's side, Wen Chou saw Zhang He's actions and shouted, "Hey, we haven't finished the competition yet!" As he spoke, the steel gun in his hand continued to stab at Zhang He.
Yan Liang just wanted to stop it, and felt a gust of wind blowing, and the evil man who had been sitting beside Zhou Qi disappeared, appeared opposite Wen Chou, easily held the gun he stabbed, and said lightly: "Childe said that there is no need to compete now, didn't you hear?" β... to be continued
