The Western Capital is Stormy Chapter 48: There is a field behind Rouge Mountain
Li Jin kept reciting the words "Qihuang" in the room, which was the only message sent back by Liang Zhou.
So how exactly should these two words be understood? There is no preface, and there is no afterword, only two words for Li Jin to guess, which really embarrassed her.
"Liang Zhou's arrest was Guanyinwu's handiwork, but Liang Zhou only gave a hint of the word Qihuang, could it be said that Guanyin is not Qihuang?"
"That's not right!"
Li Jin asked and answered himself, carefully thinking about the possibilities in this.
If Guanyin is not the Qi Emperor, it is impossible for the Hidden Prince to be afraid, more than 20 years ago, Guanyin is just a deputy general next to his father, even if he hides deeply, it is impossible to threaten the Hidden Prince!
Guanyin is not the Emperor of Qi, so Liang Zhou is likely to be prompting that Guanyin is not related to the Emperor of Qi!
Guanyin Wu, Emperor Qi!
Li Jin rubbed his sore head and sighed, he couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure it out, it would be good if Ran You was here!
Liang Zhou didn't know about the changes in the princess's mansion, and he had been ordered to leave the Beijing division and escort a batch of important materials to Beiban.
This batch of materials contains a lot of contraband, for example, there are more than 1,000 standard weapons, and the grain and grass are as high as 600,000 stones.
Liang Zhou sighed secretly, these people are loyal to His Majesty on the surface, but secretly they are doing traitorous deeds, this one goes out, not to mention the difference of hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the one who comes back to the imperial court at a low price is not even one-tenth, he finally knows why Shaofu always can't make ends meet! It's all fucking into someone else's pocket!
It turned out that the most serious digging in the corner of Shaofu was this Lord Shangshu who was guarding and stealing! Of course, there is also the legendary boss Qi Huang behind the scenes!
"Harigana, you introduce me to your Beiban, this is the first time I have been abroad, if I don't understand, my life will have to be lost there!"
Harigana threw the weapon he was carrying to others, walked over and sat on the other side of the carriage, he put his legs on the wheels, leaned his whole body against the wall of the carriage, turned his head and chatted with Liang Zhou.
"We Beiban advocate force and are relatively simple-minded, unlike you Central Plains people, who have a lot of flowers and intestines."
Liang Zhou rolled his eyes and said, "You still say that you are simple-minded?" I can see it clearly. ”
Harigana said, "You're okay, better than all of them." Like Lord Guanyin, he asked me to repair the door last time, it stands to reason that you just said to find someone and repair the door. He wanted to say that we are all rats, and we are used to burrowing holes in the ground, but he is not in this habit. Later, I heard the Lord talk about it, and I realized that it was the stone gate that was in disrepair and falling dust. ”
Liang Zhou smiled heartlessly: "You guys, these officials are used to it, talk halfway, or start and let you guess, if you can guess what it means, then it is not guaranteed, it is not satisfactory, he will scold you for being stupid, it is agreeable, he is silent, something is wrong, he said that this matter is your overinterpretation of his meaning, come and push three, six or five, people pat their butts, there is no bullshit, it's all your fault." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! That's the reason, I have had enough of guessing, I thought that when I went back this time, I would talk to the big head, and stay in Beiban to marry a wife and have children. ”
"Why is that?"
"I'm a brainless person after all, it's better to spread the branches and leaves early to benefit the next generation."
Liang Zhou was stunned and quipped: "You want to marry my Central Plains woman, so that the next generation will not be a fool." ”
Harigana scratched his hair and said, "What you said seems to be reasonable, but my Northern Barbarian nobles have never intermarried with Central Plains women, and if I marry a Central Plains woman, won't I be laughed to death when I go back?" ”
Liang Zhou persuaded: "What's so good about Beiban? Didn't you say that at this time, there is a shortage of food and clothing in the tribe, and you are embarrassed to say that you are a nobleman in such a poor life? Poorer than our average farmer. ”
Harigana smiled embarrassedly: "We are different from you, your standard for measuring the nobility is how much land there is, we are talking about how many cattle and sheep, none of them are gone, the nobility is not appropriate, even if there is only one sheep left, no matter how poor the nobleman is, it is still a nobleman." ”
Liang Zhou said with a smile: "Brother Ha, you are a capable person, instead of going back to herd sheep and horses, it is better to stay in a prosperous place like the Central Plains, and doing any work is stronger than eating the northwest wind in the north, isn't it?" ”
Harigana was silent and said, "My uncle is very powerful in Beiban, and he will not allow me to settle in the Central Plains." ”
"It's up to people, you are a dignified man, do you still have to obey your uncle's orders? The old brain, you have to change it. ”
Harigana was a little moved, but he couldn't do it himself, so he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, as if there were 10,000 lice on his body biting him.
The convoy gradually crossed the Liaoshui, the north bank is the frontier position of the Beiman, the border field of the Northern Zhou and the Beiman, there is a nice name here, the Beiban calls it Rouge Mountain, and the Northern Zhou calls it the Beauty Mountain.
Rouge Mountain is long and long, extending outward into eight characters, only the narrow road in the middle leads to the outside world, this section of the road is not easy to walk, and few people walk, because of the narrow terrain here, if there is no strong military support, it is likely to be robbed by the mountain bandits here, so that there is no return.
And the people who can be mountain bandits here are not real bandits, most of the officers and soldiers on both sides come out to fight the autumn wind, and they don't fix you to death, those who see it have a share, you pick up a layer of skin, I pick up a layer of skin, and there is nothing left back and forth.
Of course, there are also wealthy businessmen who have opened up the relationship, and they are very open on both sides, just looking at the flag fluttering in the wind in front of them, they can pass through the Rouge Mountain safely.
Liang Zhou looked at these two steep mountains, and his heart was cold, if it weren't for Guanyinwu's convoy, it would be impossible for another person to pass through here so safely.
With Liang Zhou's eyesight, how could he not see that those cold bows and arrows in the middle of the mountain had been ruthlessly opened?
After passing through Rouge Mountain, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Liang Zhou's back, and as soon as the wind blew, he instantly shivered.
Behind the Rouge Mountain is another landscape, where there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and occasionally Persian merchants can be seen struggling to sell in their broken official language.
Liang Zhou walked over, picked up an ivory comb from the stall and asked, "How much is this?" ”
The Persian merchant said, "This drop, five hundred times." ”
"Can't it be cheap?"
"The price of a mouthful, we drop the price, it is very fair, you drop, you can't bargain with me."
Liang Zhou stretched out a finger and said, "Consistent money, I want two." ”
"What do you say? Don't have a bad conscience, you don't cut the price like this, I drop the goods, I can't sell them, and I will die. ”
Liang Zhou rolled his eyes, blew the hair scattered in front of his forehead, and turned to leave.
"Alas, you can negotiate!"
Liang Zhou grabbed the pair of exquisite ivory combs on the stall, raised a finger and said, "Consistently, sell or not?" ”
"Don't sell drops, don't sell them, it's too cheap, I can't sell it."
"It's always the same, sell it or not? To sell or not to sell? To sell or not to sell? ”
Liang Zhou asked several times in a row, the level of the Persian businessman's official language was obviously limited, and as soon as Liang Zhou's words were fast, he panicked and said, "Sell!" ”
Liang Zhou took out the usual money from his sleeve and threw it on the stall, carrying two ivory combs in his arms. He turned around and crashed into Harigana's arms.
"What for?"
Hariga stared at Liang Zhou with red eyes and asked, "Take it out!" ”
"What to take out?"
"Comb! Take it out! ”
Liang Zhou blinked, Harigana's expression was a little wrong, could it be that there was a secret between this pair of combs and him?
Liang Zhou took out the comb that was not yet hot, stretched it out and handed it to Harigana.
Harigana took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said, "I just saw that you bought it for the usual money?" ”
Liang Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, although this thing is valuable, few people will buy it except for the daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an." ”
"This craftsmanship is very good, in our place, this thing is a luxury, even the nobility does not necessarily have it, the last time my uncle bought it for his lover seems to have cost a full forty sheep, you give him such a small amount of consistent money, how did you do it?"
Liang Zhou smiled, took the comb back from Harigana's hand, and said, "To put it bluntly, it's worthless, if you want to buy it, take the money out, and I'll buy you another pair and let you keep it for you to give away." ”
"But I don't have any money."
Liang Zhou rolled his eyes and said, "Fortunately, the Lord left me a thousand yuan, but you are also a first-class master, and you have always been unable to take out the money, is it too miserable?" Or you can't mess with me. ”
Liang Zhou threw down the money again, and grabbed another pair of exquisite ivory combs on the stall, and when the Persian merchant saw it, he immediately became anxious, and jumped out of the stall to reason with Liang Zhou.
Liang Zhou smiled back, stretched out a finger and shook it.
I don't know what the Persian merchant understood, but he suddenly turned around, put the stall away, rolled up the things and put them on the car behind him, beckoned the work, and ran away.
"Then, I'll give it to you."
Harigana took the comb handed over by Liang Zhou, carefully carried it in his arms, and put the meat for collection.
Liang Zhou waved his hand, and Harigana and he continued to walk forward.
After wandering around for a long time, Liang Zhou was arguing with a Northern Barbarian warrior about the price of a bear skin in another stall at this time, Liang Zhou liked it when he saw this white bear skin, but this Northern Barbarian warrior only needed cattle and sheep, and did not need money, which made Liang Zhou spend a lot of words.
In the end, Liang Zhou stepped on his stall, spitting stars flying sideways, and the small abacus crackled and jingled.
"What kind of place is this? It's a playground! You can't buy something with money, are you kidding? I have already given you the highest price for this one, twenty guan, no more, you take these twenty guan, go straight forward less than five hundred meters, there is a livestock shop, twenty guan can buy sixty sheep of all sizes, how can you ignore such a high interest and bear to refuse me? ”
"I only need sheep, and if you have sheep, you can take them, no, you go to another place and change the sheep, and I will sell them to you."
"A tendon? Really, I'm about to be by you, you can't be ignorant, right? Such a good cheap was given to you, you don't want it? ”
The brute's face turned red and said angrily: "I see that you don't want to buy my fur, you want to fight, right?" ”
"Hey? I'm grumpy! You wait, I'll lead the sheep! ”
Liang Zhou squeezed towards the crowd in a gloomy manner, and saw that Hariga was holding his arm behind him and didn't know what he was looking at, Liang Zhou walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "What are you looking at, so engrossed?" ”
Harigana pursed her lips and asked, "Have you seen that aunt slaughtering cattle and sheep?" I like her. ”
Liang Zhou looked at what Harigana said, and saw the fat and broad female man, the meat knife in her hand flew over, and her face would splash some blood from time to time, and the thick slap was slapped on the meat, and the meat that was beaten was obedient and upright, without the slightest irregularity.
Liang Zhou shuddered and asked, "Do you Northern Barbarians have such unique tastes?" ”
