Chapter 153: Xu Shiyun's favors
The six-foot giant Khan Wei Chi Gong belongs to the type of people who don't talk much, and come to think of it, those few Jianghu men have suffered losses at his hands.
Hu Laosan gritted his teeth and took out the gold leaf from his arms, glanced at Wei Chi Gong with hatred, slapped the gold leaf on the table, and several people walked out of the soup cake restaurant in a gloomy manner.
Sima Jiu glanced at the golden leaf, and the black and yellow teeth of Hu Laosan biting the golden leaf appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but shake his head again and again.
Sima Ruohua was also disgusted and didn't touch the gold leaf.
For a while, no one paid attention to the gold leaves on the table.
"What is personality charm, what is leadership temperament, this handsome guy just arrived in Daxing City, the imperial capital, and met Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong, two future tiger generals. Li Shimin, I'm sorry, they will be my Sima Jiu's people in the future. Sima Jiu was secretly overjoyed.
According to the historical trajectory, Xu Shiyun is one of the twenty-four heroes listed in Lingyan Pavilion, the military department Shangshu, the prince and the prince, and Li Jing are famous generals.
Wei Chigong also became the twenty-fourth hero of Lingyan Pavilion, won the trust of Li Shimin, and became a worshiped door god together with Qin Qiong.
If these two people are included in the bag at this time, perhaps, in the future, there will be nothing to do with Li Shimin.
History, hehe, sorry, is going to change.
Datang? Stay where you go.
Sima Ruohua saw that his brother Sima Jiu had been smirking for nothing, and couldn't help but pat Sima Jiu's shoulder.
Sima Jiu woke up from his reverie at this time, and he saw Xu Shiyun staring at him, with a look that wanted to speak, but couldn't speak.
"In Xia Sima Jiu, I didn't expect to be able to meet Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong of the farmer's Xia Changtang here, in the past, when I was merging the state, I heard of the prestige of the farmer's Xia Changtang."
"It is said that in the imperial capital of Daxing City, the farmer Xia Changtang stomped his feet one more, and the twelve guards would be shaken.
On the way to the imperial capital, Li Jiancheng once mentioned the farmhouse to him, and combined with what happened in this soup and cake shop, Sima Jiu learned the bridge of the protagonist to accept people, and praised generously.
It's just that he skimmed away, and the two of them didn't seem to have a shocking reaction, and they couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
"Thanks to Brother Zhai's teaching, my Xia Changtang has always been low-key, and what the son said, I don't know where it came from." The tiger-headed little Xu Shiyun looked at Sima Jiu suspiciously.
Sima Jiu was speechless.
It's not good to be a teacher, and if you praise others, you will be scolded back, which is really embarrassing.
Sima Ruohua couldn't help laughing when he saw that his brother was deflated.
Xu Shiyun looked at Sima Ruohua, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
Xu Shiyun said: "I heard the shopkeeper Wang mention, the young lady knows kung fu, think about it, if there is no us, you will not suffer in front of Hu Laosan." ”
"That's it!" Sima Ruohua smiled disappreciatively.
Wei Chi Wei Chi Gong is not good at talking, so it is up to them to negotiate.
He was obviously very familiar with the shopkeeper, and when a guy saw Wei Chigong sitting at the table, he immediately brought two large bowls of soup cakes and more than a dozen cakes, so he ate them in a hurry.
"Anyway, thank you, little strong man." Sima Jiu didn't treat Xu Shiyun as a child.
Xu Shiyun was about to speak, but he made a look of wanting to speak and stopped.
After a long time, he said embarrassedly: "I have a reluctant request, whether the gold leaves in the hands of the two of you can be exchanged with us, we can give a higher exchange rate than the official office." ”
Xu Shiyun's face was slightly red, obviously, it was not easy for him to say these words.
Sima Jiu originally thought that Xu Shiyun really had something important to ask them for help, but now it seems that it is for the sake of Jin Yezi.
If you use a gold leaf, you can make friends with Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong, and this gold leaf can be regarded as making the best use of things.
Sima Jiu said generously: "Of course you can." ”
Suddenly, Xu Shiyun's eyes became brighter. "Brother Nine, we will pay 20,000 wen first, and then 5,000 wen, no, 10,000 wen."
"The younger brother knows that you can redeem 30,000 Wen by just looking for someone, this time, it is considered that the ninth brother has done me Xia Changtang a great favor, this favor, the younger brother will definitely remember it." Xu Shiyun was worried that Sima Jiu would not agree, so he hurriedly added.
A gold leaf, in exchange for a favor, for ordinary people, it will definitely be considered crazy.
Is favor so expensive?
But for Sima Jiu, it is worth the money to get the favor of Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong.
Even, exchanging a mountain of gold is cost-effective.
Sima Jiu said briskly: "No problem." ”
"Thank you, Childe!"
Sima Jiu's words changed. "Just."
Xu Shiyun listened intently, thinking, "Didn't you regret it?" ”
Sima Jiu smiled faintly: "My brother and sister have not yet found a place to live here. ”
When Xu Shiyun heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"In Daxing City, Xigui Dongping, I wait for Xia Changtang to have a lot of places in the east of the city, if the ninth brother does not dislike it, the younger brother can find a place to live for you." Xu Shixian's words are much more intimate, and he is even called a brother.
"It's pure, it's okay to be a little bigger, I only have 20,000 yuan in exchange for you for the time being."
Wei Chigong saw Xu Shiyun tilting his head and thinking, and said angrily: "Under the east city wall of the city, in Xinchangfang and Jinggongfang, there are many vacant houses, which are rented for a year, but only a few thousand wen. ”
Xu Shiyun looked back at Yu Chigong and said, "Brother Yu Chi, there are a lot of houses there, but they have been idle for a long time, and it is said that there are monsters among them." ”
"What a youkai! It's all the fault of people. Wei Chigong seemed to know the truth of the idle house, put down the cake in his hand, and a chill passed through his eyes.
Only then did Sima Jiu discover that the powerful oppressive force emanating from Wei Chigong's body was exuding.
Monster? Sima Jiu didn't believe this.
"Xinchangfang is a good name, there it is."
"Brother! There won't be any monsters there, right? Sima Ruohua listened to Wei Chigong's words and was a little scared.
"Don't worry, with my brother here, all demons and monsters have to give way."
"Uh-huh!" Sima Ruohua nodded trustingly.
"This is my sister Sima Ruohua, I'm waiting for the first time to come to Daxing City, and I'm in trouble for the two of you."
"It's good to say, it's just, Brother Nine, the remaining 10,000 yuan, I'm afraid it will take a few days, Brother Zhai has something to do, and he can't turn around for a while." Xu Shiyun said softly.
"Whatever it is, it's okay until the end of the year."
"At the end of the year, that's absolutely fine." Xu Shiyun was relieved.
Wei Chigong saw that Sima Jiu was so bold and did not have the arrogance of a child of a family, so he couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
He walked up to Sima Jiu's siblings and chatted with them.
It turned out that Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong both obeyed Brother Zhai's orders and rushed from Luoyang in the middle of the year.
The big brother Zhai in their mouths, Sima Jiu could vaguely guess who it was.
Brother Zhai should be Zhai Rang, the early leader of the Wagang Army at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and a great talent for separating one side.
It's just that Sima Jiu didn't know the purpose of Zhai Rang to let Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong come to Daxing City, but there must be some plan.
Sima Jiu knew it in his heart, and he didn't mention this aspect at all, he just picked up the folk customs of Daxing City, peasant martial arts and other idle things, and talked with Wei Chigong and Xu Shiyun.
Soon after, the Sima nine siblings left the soup cake shop and went east with Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong.
In Daxing City, a team of guards patrolled back and forth from time to time.
Wei Chigong carried two baskets of cakes bought from the soup cake shop, like a Chongqing Bangbang army, leading the way in front and leading Sima Jiu through the remote alleys.
They didn't seem to be willing to meet the guards.
When I see a patrolling guard, I always stay away.
Gradually, Yu Chigong took Sima Jiu more and more deviantly.
The closer you get to the eastern city wall, the fewer pedestrians there are, and the more dilapidated the house becomes.
If it weren't for the fact that Sima Jiu had already known about Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong's old background, I am afraid that he would suspect that the two of them were trying to lead him to a remote place and kill him for money.
It's just that Sima Jiu has never understood why Wei Chigong wants to pick two baskets of cakes.
