Chapter 553: The Little Demon King of the Mixed World
This vast procession of more than 100 vehicles on the official road will inevitably attract the attention of many people.
If a year or two ago, this place was full of rebels, and the convoy would have been surrounded by people.
However, during this period of time, Li Qi's business in Jizhou has mainly focused on supporting the people, and this policy has allowed a large number of people in Jizhou to return.
In fact, a large part of the homeless bandits that used to be seen everywhere were forced out of desperation.
Jizhou divided the fields and distributed grain, and there were not many people who did not want to live a peaceful life and went to wander.
A large number of horse thieves and bandits have not been encountered, but there are really a lot of thieves along the way.
They kept their eyes on the convoy and followed it from a distance, looking for an opportunity to strike while the team was resting.
However, how did these amateur thieves know that in this team, there are two thieves with a serious inheritance.
Gang Gang and Chen Dawei can't be more familiar with the routines of the Jianghu thieves.
If something is stolen from the team, they both feel sorry for their identity.
This way is like a thief catching competition, when there are still about three days away from Anyang City, they have already caught more than 120 thieves in total.
Most of them are taught a lesson and let go, if they encounter those who are ruthless and want to kill people when they are discovered, they will naturally not be polite.
These fierce and daring people don't need to ask, they can also think of their lives.
Therefore, no matter how much they kill, they are all people who are not sorry to die.
The team stopped at a place called the Holy Side, inquired, and said that it would be three days away from Anyang City at most.
So Li Qi and they have to stop and sort everything out.
Shengfang County is the southernmost county in Jizhou, and after leaving the city, it will leave Jizhou after walking more than 30 miles.
Of course, this is a theoretical matter, and this place has long been out of Jizhou's control.
Out of Shengfang County and further south, it is under the control of Anyang City, and with the size of their team, it is two hundred miles to walk in three days.
But for the light cavalry, the distance of two hundred miles is really not that far.
Li Qi expected it, but he was still a little surprised, he guessed that there would be people from the Yuzhou Army waiting in this Shengfang County, but he didn't expect that Ding Shengjia would arrive in person.
So the original plan to rest here was disrupted, and Ding Shengjia personally led the team to greet him here, where was there still a chance to plan something.
The county order of Shengfang County is supposed to be an official of Jizhou, but he is not stupid, how far is it from Jizhou? How far is it from Anyang?
There are soldiers and horses, so naturally whoever is close is the father.
The county commander of Shengfang County held a banquet to entertain him, although he did not understand why he personally came to greet a group of medicine merchants as General Ding.
But he knew that he didn't care why, just waited for it.
Anyway, if it were because of him, General Ding wouldn't have greeted him personally.
People can't be without self-knowledge, in this troubled world, a county order really doesn't dare to be too public.
Ding Shengjia personally poured a glass of wine for Li Qi, smiled and said, "Did Gongzi Li not expect that I would be waiting for you here." ”
Li Qi nodded and said, "It's really unexpected, I just thought that General Ding would make arrangements." ”
Ding Shengjia said: "I came in person because I have three things to tell you. ”
Li Qi said: "The general said it clearly. ”
Ding Shengjia handed the wine glass to Li Qi, and after sitting down, he sighed before he spoke.
Li Qi knew that trouble was coming.
"This first thing is a good thing, our General Meng knows that Li Gongzi personally escorted the medicinal materials to Anyang, so he is going to invite Li Gongzi to meet him in the general's mansion."
Li Qi nodded after listening, he had come to Anyang to inquire about the news, if he could see Meng Kedi with his own eyes, it would naturally be the best.
If this were someone else, he might be panicked and scared, but Li Qi's courage is really bigger.
Li Qi said: "Naturally, I should visit General Meng." ”
He asked, "What about the second thing?" ”
Ding Shengjia said: "The second thing is that I also told General Meng that Li Gongzi was going to come to Anyang to open Shen Yitang, and General Meng personally chose a piece of land for Li Gongzi, which is a treasure of feng shui in Anyang City." ”
Li Qi hurriedly got up and thanked him.
After a few polite words, Li Qi looked at Yu Jiuling and said, "His name is Yu Shuangxing, if nothing else, he will be the treasurer of Shen Yitang in Anyang City in the future." ”
Yu Jiuling said in her heart, double star, your sister, double star...... But good
It's kind of nice.
He also got up and said a few polite words.
Ding Shengjia said: "If Gongzi Li is sincere, our General Meng will naturally not treat you badly." ”
When he said this, he put down the glass in his hand, as if he wanted to say something.
Li Qi knew that the first two things were just hors d'oeuvres, and the third thing behind was the main meal, and it must not be delicious.
It's not tasty, it's not necessarily that it doesn't taste good, it's most likely that it doesn't taste good.
"The general doesn't have to be embarrassed, after arriving in Anyang, I will naturally act according to the rules of Anyang."
Li Qi said: "If it is...... If the colleagues who have offended before are dissatisfied, I can set up a banquet in Anyang. ”
Ding Shengjia sighed: "That's not necessary, they are just acting on orders." ”
Li Qixin said that if it is more difficult than those people, this main dish is not only not delicious, but also a big dish.
Ding Shengjia said: "Li Gongzi can know that the biggest business of Yuzhou Pharmaceutical Store is ......."
Li Qi replied: "Xingshengde." ”
Ding Shengjia nodded: "Since Gongzi Li knows Xingshengde, does he know whose property Xingshengde is?" ”
Li Qi shook his head: "I only know that the owner of Xingshengde should be surnamed Cao." ”
These things are not difficult to inquire about, but because the people of the Cao family are too low-key, they all leave the business affairs to their subordinates.
The people of the Cao family don't often show their heads, after all, they can also be regarded as royal relatives.
Ding Shengjia said: "If it weren't for the surname Cao, there would be nothing difficult about this......
He lowered his voice and said, "Prince Wu's princess...... The surname is Cao. ”
Li Qi's heart moved.
The heart said that it was no wonder, that Du Qingteng was a pharmaceutical merchant in Yuzhou, and he dared to run rampant on the territory of Jizhou, it turned out that it was because there was such a big tree behind him.
Now in this great Chu world, who doesn't know that Prince Wu can be regarded as one person and above ten thousand people.
Except for His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor, the heaviest one is Prince Wu.
It can even be said that if there was no Prince Wu, the rebels from all walks of life might have already besieged the capital of Great Chu.
"This ......"
Li Qi asked, "What does the general mean?" ”
Ding Shengjia said: "There is a little marquis in the Cao family, named Cao Lie, this person is ...... This person is extremely protective. ”
Li Qi really didn't expect that this time he really provoked a big guy.
Yet he was not afraid.
But he can't show that he's not afraid.
As Prince Wu, no one in the Cao family will dare to mess with him in Yuzhou, and in a place like Yuzhou, where there are many wealthy families, no one dares to overpower the Cao family on the surface.
Li Qi nodded and said, "I understand what the general meant, and thank you for waiting for me here in advance, and specially reminding ...... If it really doesn't work, I'll sell the medicinal herbs on the spot, and we'll turn back in this Shengfang County." ”
When Ding Shengjia heard this, he felt a little more down-to-earth.
Because this is the way of thinking of a normal person, and the abnormal way of thinking is that even if the Cao family wants to embarrass me, I have nothing to fear.
What is Li Qi's identity, it's just the owner of a medicine store, there may be someone in Jizhou who will let him score three points, in Yuzhou, dare to go to the Cao family?
Then there must be ghosts.
These words were made by Meng Kedi to let him tempt.
If Li Qi just replied, it wouldn't matter, things were already a little bad.
Li Qi toasted Ding Shengjia with a glass of wine, and then said with some regret: "I never thought that Xingshengde would have such a relationship......
He shook his head and said, "Please confess to General Meng on my behalf after the general goes back, I really ...... Don't dare to go. ”
Ding Shengjia laughed and said, "It's okay. ”
He drank it all.
"Have you forgotten, as I said just now, General Meng wants to see you in person."
Li Qi was stunned: "This ...... This Anyang, I categorically didn't dare to go. ”
Ding Shengjia said: "Since General Meng said that he wanted to see you in person, you still don't understand what's going on?" Although the little marquis is short-sighted, he is not unreasonable, General Meng is already planning for Li Gongzi, just rest assured. ”
Li Qi still shook his head: "It's not that I can't trust General Ding, it's not that I can't trust General Meng, it's really ...... That's Prince Wu's maiden family. ”
Ding Shengjia in his heart
The suspicion dissipated a lot, so he smiled and said, "You just listen to me, since I can come to pick you up, I will always protect you." ”
Li Qi seemed to be ruthless and said: "I can give these medicinal materials to General Meng, let's go back early tomorrow morning." ”
Ding Shengjia shook his head: "That's not good, I came on the military order of General Meng, if I don't bring you back, General Meng will dispose of me." ”
Li Qi sighed: "General...... I'm so young, and my comfortable days are still long, so the general will let me go back. ”
Ding Shengjia said: "I'll give you a reassuring pill, if you have something, I will pay you my life first!" ”
Li Qi pretended to be helpless, so he asked tentatively, "That...... Is there anything to say about the Cao family? ”
Ding Shengjia said: "That's what I said...... The little marquis also wants to see you in person. ”
Li Qi's face instantly became difficult to look at.
Ding Shengjia couldn't see the slightest trace of falsification on Li Qi's face, how did he know that Li Qi used to make a living from acting.
Moreover, Li Qi's drama road is still wide, and he walks the rivers and lakes with Changmei Taoist, who has never met anyone and has not acted in any play.
Next to Ding Shengjia, the county magistrate of Shengfang County, who was sitting with him, couldn't even insert a word, so he could only laugh awkwardly.
He saw a young man standing opposite him laughing at his embarrassed appearance, so he secretly glared.
The heart said that I was a county magistrate, and in front of General Ding and the guests who didn't know where they came from, I pretended to be a grandson.
You little retinue dare to laugh at me.
However, he glared, and only dared to stare secretly.
General Ding's entourage, he can't afford to provoke either.
But unfortunately, he glared at this and was seen by others.
An hour later, the county office.
Ding Shengjia walked in front, and as soon as he entered the lobby of the county office, he walked to the side instead.
The entourage of the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy walked to the position of the county magistrate with his hands behind his back and sat down casually.
This time, it really scared the county order.
The boy sat down and put his feet on the table, shook his chair and laughed, "It's boring, you praise him for being so amazing, but he's a coward." ”
Ding Shengjia leaned over and said, "Little Marquis, how can anyone not be afraid of death." ”
That young man turned out to be the Cao family's demon king Xiao Houye.
Originally, he was not in Anyang City, but in Yuzhou City.
Meng Kedi wanted to fight Jizhou, how dare he call the shots privately, so he sent someone to Yuzhou for instructions.
I don't know how the demon king of the mixed world knew, and he clamored to come to Anyang, but the people of the Cao family couldn't resist him, so they had to bring it here.
Cao Lie said: "Just hearing about the Cao family, it scared him so much that he didn't dare to go to Anyang, this person is also an ordinary man, it's not interesting." ”
He raised his hand and pointed at the county order: "It's not as good as him, he still dares to stare at me." ”
The county order fell to his knees with a thud.
Cao Lie sighed: "Why are you bored? Pull him up. ”
In the past, the two people pulled the county commander up, and the county commander's legs were weak, and he was standing there with two people.
Cao Lie smiled: "It's fun for you to stare at people, you two just hold him, follow me all the time, you have to stare at me, if he doesn't stare at him, you two will pluck his beard, if you stare at it, it's okay, if you don't stare at it, you can pull it out, from this point on, stare for twelve hours." ”
He looked at the county order and said, "Do you dare? ”
The county commander begged: "The little marquis spare me, how dare I stare at you, please be gracious to the little marquis." ”
Cao Lie shook his head: "That's not good, someone came, arrested all the people in his family, and the man killed the woman and sold it." ”
The county order pounced and knelt down again.
Cao Lie asked, "Stare or not?" ”
The county order kowtowed and begged for mercy, Cao Lie frowned, and then waved his hand: "Throw it out, it's really boring......"
He looked at Ding Shengjia: "There are really few interesting people in this world...... I thought that what you said about Li Yi was an interesting person, and the person who could say such things as the right person should be an interesting person, but when I saw it today, this trip was in vain. ”
Ding Shengjia naturally knows the temperament of this little marquis, so he won't really kill people, he is just the kind of demon king of the world.
So Ding Shengjia said: "Little Hou Ye, he may surprise you." ”
