Chapter Forty-Nine: Su Bancheng's Business

Su Yu is one of the concubines of Su Mansion in Longdu City, Su Mansion is the nobles of Longdu Wangmen, although there are no high-ranking officials and nobles in this generation, but the Su family has accumulated deep wealth. The Su family controlled a quarter of the inns and one-third of the Qinglou business in Longdu, and they were extremely well-informed and were strongly co-opted by major officials.

Su Yu didn't like to study since he was a child, so he spent money to donate a martial artist, first made up for it in the military department, and later asked someone to go to the sixth regiment and serve under Wu Gang in the baggage battalion. He thought that he would spend money on a few years of seniority and then donate an official, but he didn't expect that the Blue Dragon Legion would go north, and he had no choice but to come to Mucheng with the army. Later, the sixth regiment set up a prisoner camp, and Su Yu served as the commander of the prisoner camp under the recommendation of Wu Gang. In fact, the camp is rich in oil and water, and after Su Yu became the captain of the prisoner camp, he made a lot of money, and people privately called Su Yu Su Bancheng, which means that the wealth of half the city fell into his hands.

Zhang Xiaowu thought that there would be a gladiatorial fight the next day, but he didn't expect that the gladiatorial time would be postponed to three days later, because Su Yu wanted to set up a stage for the audience to watch, so as to charge more "viewing fees". After the platform was built, the day of the decisive battle also came.

When Cheng Chu came, he saw that there were people gathered around the camp, and there were even prison guards collecting tickets, so he was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, and after seeing Su Yu, he scolded: "Bastard boy, why is there such a turmoil?" Half of the regiment came? ”

Su Yu pretended to be innocent and said: "General, the lower officials don't know why this matter is so big, the lower officials only invited officers above the captain level of each battalion, but I never expected that everyone wanted to see if Zhang Xiaowu was more powerful, or the three King Kongs of the grassland were more powerful." ”

Cheng Chu asked, "What do you think?" ”

Su Yu said: "I heard that when Wuhuan Xiaowang Wuliwu led the army to attack the city, Zhang Xiaowu held an iron arm bow and fired three arrows in a row, almost shooting Wuliqiu to death under the wooden city. This person even went out of the city and killed 36 Inuyi generals, so frightened that Wu Liqi led the army to flee. Wu Lili threatened to kill Zhang Xiaowu, and the commander of the thousand husband rewarded him with 10,000 taels of gold. This person is in the 27th regiment, he is like a god of war, and I heard that when Tucheng broke the city, he single-handedly killed seven in and seven out of Tucheng to find Wu Li, and that Wu Lilu hid in the Wuhuan camp and did not dare to show his head. ”

Cheng Chu was surprised: "This person is so brave? ”

Su Yu said: "This person was in a coma day and night, and after waking up, he killed Badener, who was a brave general." General, if you get this man......"

Cheng Chu stroked his beard and smiled, thinking that if the generals of the 10,000 enemies were loyal to him, his heart was very beautiful, and he was obviously more proud of subduing Zhang Xiaowu than a Badener.

Zhou Wenqi, who joined the army, coughed his throat and said: "Whether this person is brave or not is not yet known, but I heard that Captain Su is making some bets, saying that zero kills and one pays one, one kills pays three, two kills and one pays five, and three kills and one loses eight, and you gamble with him in the bank?" ”

Su Yu hurriedly blushed and said, "My lord, the lower officials are just playing, playing." ”

Cheng Chu couldn't cry or laugh, kicked him in the ass, and said, "I bought five hundred taels of silver, this kid can kill three people." Seeing that the general bought Zhang Xiaowu to kill three people in a row, the other soldiers naturally didn't dare to contradict it, and they all bought hundreds of two pieces of Xiaowu and three kills, Su Yu was also worried while collecting money, if Zhang Xiaowu was really so powerful, would he lose money? But he earned 10,000 taels just by buying tickets, and he was not afraid of losing money.

Su Yu smiled and asked, "General, don't you look at those three Baden's subordinates?" ”

"Don't look at it, I want to see where this man can be brave." Cheng Chu didn't care at all, it was just five hundred taels of silver.

At this time, Zhang Xiaowu had already prepared everything, and his physical strength and energy had returned to the best state, and he even felt that his current state was much stronger than when he was in Tucheng. Before, when he was alone, he thought about the world's misanthropy and death, but now, he didn't want to die, even death, and he didn't want to die at the hands of the Tartars.

He had many enemies, and the Tartars were one of them, and he remembered very well that a group of Tartars chased after Jiu'er, who committed suicide by throwing himself into the river in order to maintain his chastity.

"The one who can kill me can't be the Tartars." Zhang Xiaowu said to himself, "It can't be a Wuhuan person, it can't be a dog!" It can't be a saint, the person who can kill me can only be myself. His eyes widened, and he still made a decision in his heart, in this gladiatorial fight, he must kill the other party.

After Guan Xiang came over, he told him that he was ready, and this was a private duel in gladiatorial fighting, and it had nothing to do with the prisoner camp. If he survives, he will be the commander of the prisoner camp, and Baden'er's men will be transferred to the tent of the Chinese army in the Yashan camp, and the two sides will not meet in the future. Guan Xiang said: "If they die, I don't know if their family will seek revenge on you." ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled contemptuously and nodded, his eyes revealing a murderous aura.

Guan Xiang asked, "What kind of blade are you using?" ”

"Knives."

"What knife?"

"Sabre."

Guan Xiang was embarrassed: "This horse chopping knife is not." ”

"Then Pu Dao."

The Han sergeant wears three knives, short knives, waist knives and Pu knives, the short knives are only three inches, the waist knives are six inches, the Pu knife body is four inches but the handle is six inches long, the total length is three feet one inch, and it is mostly used for field foot combat. Because the Pu knife is too long, the Pu knife is not as good as the spear gun and waist knife when defending the city, and the Pu knife is not long enough when killing the enemy, and it is too long to protect it as the waist knife. But when fighting on foot, the Pu knife is more useful, more flexible than a spear and longer than a waist knife, and the blade is shorter and more lethal.

Although Zhang Xiaowu held his own martial arts, he was also cautious, and after Guan Xiang sent someone to send Pu Dao, he warmed up alone in the room to prepare for the next death battle. A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Xiaowu walked out of the room and was taken by the jailer to the schoolyard in the center of the camp.

In the middle of the school yard was a square duel area, surrounded by ropes and wooden nails, and the roofs of the surrounding houses were filled with sergeants watching the battle. Zhang Xiaowu saw several officers sitting on the north platform, and everyone was guarding a general, and he guessed that this should be Cheng Chu, the general of the Sixth Regiment.

After a while, Baden'er's subordinates were brought out, and everyone was suddenly stunned, it turned out that the figures of these three people were taller and more powerful than the other, and they originally thought that Zhang Xiaowu would undoubtedly win, but each of these three people was extremely strong, that is, the height was not as tall as Zhang Xiaowu, but the figure was even thicker, worthy of the three kings of the Eagle of the Eastern Prairie.

When the three of them saw Zhang Xiaowu, they howled angrily, and they cursed loudly, almost overturning the soldiers around them. Looking at the lively thousands of soldiers, they also began to dislike Zhang Xiaowu, thinking that although this young man was strong, he was still inferior to the burly and majestic Tartar Three King Kongs.

The three of them spoke foul language to Zhang Xiaowu, but Zhang Xiaowu didn't understand Tatar at all, so he just made a throat-slitting gesture at them, so angry that the three of them jumped and jumped, and almost knocked the detained soldiers to the ground again.

I saw Zhang Xiaowu's body shape from a distance, and saw the body of the three kings of the grassland, one was slender and fit, but the other three were as strong as a water tank, everyone knew that the most feared person on the battlefield was the person with the body of the water tank, not to mention the infinite strength, and the short stature was conducive to concealment. Several soldiers on the platform had bitter faces, turned their heads and said, "Wang Bancheng, can you buy it again?" ”

Su Yu said with a smug face: "Eh, my lords, this is not right, how can you regret it if you buy it and leave?" ”

Li Cunyuan, the soldier of the Xiaocai Battalion, scolded and said: "You bastard, no wonder you didn't let us see Baden'er's subordinates before, it turned out to be to cheat us out of our money, and the money was deceived to us?" Are you tired of being alive? Feng Zi Battalion Hou Qin Feng and Ke Zi Battalion Hou Gao Ke also said: "You kid is not a thing, so you have lost this month's salary." ”

Wu Gang, the soldier of the baggage battalion, was Su Yu's old boss, so he naturally spoke for him, stretched out his hands and advised: "Everyone, are you unable to afford to eat if you lose this month's salary?" Otherwise, Su Boling, in the future, you will pay for the food of several of them? Or when it's time for dinner, you bring the food over. ”

Li Cunyuan scolded: "You old turtle who protects calves, let us eat in prison!" ”

Wu Gang sneered: "I can't afford to eat in prison, you still have forage in the cavalry camp." ”

The two were so angry that they wanted to fight, Cheng Chu slapped the chair and said, "Sit back, just a little money, what is the quarrel over a little silver, is it a shame?" Seeing that Li Cunyuan was about to refute, Cheng Chu said: "Li Junhou, the victory is not scored, do you think you must have lost?" ”

Li Cunyuan said: "I don't care about winning or losing, I just see that some people make money on our brothers' heads, and I'm really angry." ”

Su Yu glanced at Wu Gang, Wu Gang nodded, meaning that I will support you kid, don't be afraid of the one surnamed Li. Su Yu received the information and immediately said: "Li Junhou, this is your mistake, I Su Yu is also principled to make money, don't cheat, don't rob, don't steal, don't steal, if you want to earn it back, buy it now." ”

Li Cunyuan said: "I bought five hundred taels of silver, and this kid can't beat any of them." ”

Su Yu said: "Okay, Guan Xiang, hurry up and write it down." ”

Other military candidates have re-bet, and they are not optimistic that Zhang Xiaowu can beat three King Kongs, especially seeing that this kid is young and athletic, but not strong, and his face is still handsome.

"It's a pity, such a young man, I need a marksman in my bow formation." Qin Feng sighed, "General, if this person survives, can he give it to the lower officials?" ”

Su Yu stepped forward and whispered: "Qin Junhou, this person is Shi Jing's confidant, others can use it, I'm afraid you can't." ”

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, speaking of which, his Qin family can be regarded as a member of the Zhang Dangmen. Qin Feng's father and Zhang Kuanyuan were originally fellow scholars, and the so-called peer watch and mutual assistance, and the two could be regarded as good friends. But ten years ago, Qin Feng's father was impeached for his bad luck, Zhang Kuan was a friend but still enforced the law impartially, and Qin Feng's father committed suicide and apologized. After the death of Qin Feng's father, Zhang Kuan pleaded with Emperor Taiqian to favor the Qin family, so Qin Feng was not impeached for his father's corruption, but instead took charge of the Fengzi Battalion by virtue of his military merits to the leading lieutenant of the Sixth Regiment.

Cheng Chu said: "Don't start the competition yet, do you really think everyone has time to wait for you?" ”

Su Yu smiled and said, "This starts, this starts!" Anything else you haven't bet on? It's a rare opportunity. ”
