Chapter 51: The Deal Is Made

Guo Song tied seven war horses to a tree and collected all the corpses.

At this time, Steward Yu appeared from the grass tremblingly, "Little brother, is that you?" He asked in a low voice.

"Uncle, it's me, come out! The party cavalry was almost wiped out. ”

The steward saw that there was blood all over the ground, and there were seven or eight bloody corpses piled up under the tree, so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth and almost cried out.

The coachmen also appeared out of the grass, and they did not go far, although the goods belonged to the rest of the house, but the donkey cart was theirs, how could they leave their cart behind.

"Oh my God! Killed eight. The drivers exclaimed.

"Everybody, let's go! A few miles ahead, it should be Jima Town. ”

There are already faint lights in the distance, and it should not be far from Jima Town.

The crowd looked at the corpse in horror and got into their respective donkey carts, which and the goods were unharmed.

Steward Yu climbed into a big cart, Guo Song distributed the food of the party cavalry to the coachmen, and handed a bag of broken silver, about thirty or forty taels, to Steward Yu.

"This little money will be used to treat the child!"

"Nope! No! I can't ask for it! Steward Yu acted as if his hands were burned, and hurriedly pushed the cloth bag to Guo Song, shaking his head like a rattle.

"Let you take it, and you will take it!"

Guo Song shoehorned the cloth bag to him, took a few steps back, and said to everyone: "I wish you all a smooth journey." ”

Seeing that Guo Song didn't seem to be walking with him anymore, the coachmen asked gossipily, "Little brother, won't you come with us?" ”

Guo Song smiled slightly: "It seems that I can get some bounties by sending these war horses and corpses to Xiao Guan, and my entanglement will be there." ”

Everyone was stunned, and then they said goodbye to Guo Song and waved their long whips one after another.

Steward Yu was very grateful in his heart, and said to Guo Song with a fist: "If the little brother goes to the capital, you can come to the Wentai silk shop in Pingkangfang to find me, and I will definitely entertain you well." ”

Guo Song hugged his fists and saluted, "When I go to the capital, I must come to visit my uncle!" ”

The coachmen drove the donkey cart away slowly, Guo Song was a little uneasy, climbed the tree again, and watched them disappear from view, only then jumped down from the tree and collected his booty.

Eight heads, eight pairs of armor, seven horses, six swords, eight spears, four shields, two bows and arrows, and eight military plaques.

Guo Song couldn't help grinning, "Yes, I made a small fortune!" ”

………..

The encirclement and suppression of the party tour was initially led by the government, but the effect was very bad, and the party tour was mysterious and erratic, and it was still looting in Wonju in the morning, and would appear in Gyeongju in the evening, so that the officers and men were exhausted.

Xu Heng, the assassin of Yuanzhou, organized several large-scale encirclement and suppression, but in the end, they were all fruitless, not to mention the money and effort, and was ridiculed and ridiculed by the people, and was coldly watched by the state and county next door.

In the end, at the suggestion of Li Jiangnan, Xu Heng decided to use the method of bounty to use folk warriors to deal with the party rangers.

This is also the method commonly used by the state government of Longyou, many years ago, horse thieves were rampant in Longyou, robbing merchants everywhere, the government was unfavorable, and the method of offering rewards was adopted, and the warriors from all over the country enthusiastically killed the thieves to receive the reward, and in just half a year, the trouble of the horse thieves in Longyou was completely subsided.

As soon as the morning dawned, the city was very lively, hundreds of soldiers surrounded Guo Song and his trophies in the middle of the three layers and three layers outside, the soldiers of the Tang Army have always respected the strong, this young Taoist priest actually killed eight party rangers alone, and the performance was so strong that all the soldiers extended a thumbs up to him.

At this time, a rough voice came from outside, "Get out of the way!" ”

The soldiers dodged away, and a chaotic footstep came, only to see a group of soldiers hugging a person walking in quickly, led by a burly general, in his thirties, with a pair of copper bell eyes, a copper-colored wide face, and a hedgehog-like beard and needle beard, which looked dignified.

The general was wearing fish scale iron armor and a horizontal sword at his waist, and it was Xiao Guan guarding Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng looked Guo Song up and down, "I'm the garrison of this city, do you want to receive the reward?" ”

Guo Song hugged his fists and saluted, and asked slowly: "May I ask General Zhang, is the reward still valid?" ”

"Of course it works, let me see your loot!"

Everyone got out of the way, and Zhang Feng saw seven war horses and a large bundle of human heads on horseback at a glance.

He suddenly opened his mouth wide in shock, and after a while, he gave a thumbs up and praised: "I said little Taoist, what a good job!" ”

………..

In the garrison room, Zhang Feng sat on the wide soft couch, looked at Guo Song's degree, put it on the table, and squinted his eyes to carefully look at Guo Song in front of him.

At this time, Guo Song was still dressed as a shabby Taoist priest, wearing a coarse cloth coat of earth brown with patches, a bamboo crown on his head, and a thick and long wooden sword on his back.

At the beginning of this year, he turned eighteen years old, and he was a tall and burly man, with skin as dark as a herdsman in the Hexi Corridor, and his dark skin would be covered with a bright red sheen in the sun.

He had long, slender eyes with a cold expression, and when he looked at a large bow on the wall, a sharp light flashed in his squinted eyes.

This made Zhang Feng couldn't help but look at him a few more times, there were many people who wanted to receive the bounty during this time, but none of them were reliable, this young man's temperament seemed to be a little different.

Guo Song's face is slightly longer, his cheeks are as cold as a knife, and his eyes give people a sense of vicissitudes that are very incompatible with his age, the most striking thing is that he has a huge nose, but it is also this slightly warm big nose that slightly eases the coldness in his eyes.

'This boy is extraordinary!' ’

Zhang Feng's heart suddenly rose with the intention of loving talent, if he can summon this person into his army, he will be able to become his right-hand man.

"If you want to stay, I will make you the captain of the team, and in a year later you will be promoted to brigade commander, how about it?"

Zhang Feng was very bold and directly offered the conditions.

If Guo Song wanted to join the army, he promised Zhao Tengjiao last year, and he would go to Chang'an to appreciate the magnificent style of the Tang Dynasty, but other people's kindness could not be rejected in one go, it would be easy to offend people, and he had to be a little tactful.

Guo Song hugged his fists and smiled: "General Zhang, my home is in Lingzhou, and I haven't returned for ten years, so let me go home first!" ”

When the other party mentioned Lingzhou, what did Zhang Feng suddenly think? He pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright! You go back to Lingzhou first, and we'll settle the account now. ”

"How much do you think these armors are worth?" Zhang Feng asked, pointing to the captured armor.

The equipment of the party cavalry is still relatively simple, using leather armor or camel skin, and the helmet is also very rough, not to mention thin, and there are many impurities, gray and white, which looks very brittle, and it is estimated that it will be broken in a few years.

Guo Song shook his head, "I don't know, you can watch it!" ”

"These armors are worthless, along with the sword and spear, I will give you a maximum of twenty pieces of money, or you can take it yourself."

Guo Song picked out two knives from a pile of knives on the table, "These two knives should be Tang Jun's standard horizontal knives!" There is also an armory seal on it, and these two knives alone cost more than twenty yuan. ”

Zhang Feng's old face turned red, this kid's eyes were poisonous, he smiled, and pinched his helmet hard, "Click! Immediately, a crack appeared in the helmet.

He threw the helmet on the table and said coldly: "The helmet is worthless, the leather armor is a fishy camel skin, which is worth a few hundred dollars at most, and the shield and spear are very badly made, I will give you a price of twenty yuan, just because of these two knives, the black market price is fifteen yuan per knife, and I will earn you five yuan for a knife." ”

Guo Song also knew that he was right, and he didn't cheat himself too much, he thought for a while and said: "Armor and swords and spears, I will change a Tang Army's horn bow and a pot of thirty Yanling arrows, can I change it?" ”

Zhang Feng grinned, "You kid is a bookkeeper in Kongtong Mountain!" The black market price of a horn bow is twenty yuan, and a pot of thirty high-grade Yanling arrows is at least ten yuan, which adds up to exactly thirty yuan, and in the end, I have no benefit from a penny, and I will help you run errands. ”

Guo Song scratched his head and said a little embarrassed: "Isn't there still a horse?" ”

"Seven war horses are indeed good, each of them can be sold for fifty yuan in the Central Plains, but this is Xiaoguan, a large number of horses come from the grassland every year, how much can you expect them to sell? Moreover, this is the horse of the party people, and there are marks on the hind legs, and no one else dares to ask for it except us. ”

Zhang Feng's face was shrewd, and the bold image just now was gone.

"You just make an offer!"

"Ten dollars a horse, I will admit the bow and arrow."

"Plus a big green donkey!"

Although Guo Song didn't want to deal with the other party, he didn't want to be laughed at and wronged.

The green donkey is a special product of Yuanzhou, and a better big green donkey is worth seven or eight dollars.

Zhang Feng hesitated for a moment, he thought that one of the war horses was of good quality, and he was snow-white, which was just right to give Xu Tingshi, who likes white horses, in exchange for a favor.

"Then we'll make up our minds!"

The deal was reached, Guo Song took a reward of 160 taels of silver, and sold the horse for 70 yuan, which was converted into 70 taels of silver, a total of 230 taels.

In addition, Zhang Feng gave him a pair of bows and arrows of the Tang Army cavalry and a big green donkey.

Guo Song had never seen so much silver, and the silver ingots of Baihuahua weighed more than a dozen catties.

However, ten years of poverty made him look at money very lightly, he didn't need so much silver himself, he wanted to find his predecessor and Han Xiaowu's family and give them the money.

Guo Song hugged his fists and said goodbye to Zhang Feng and the Xiao Guan guards, and rode a big green donkey to Lingzhou.

"General, this kid is very skilled in martial arts, he should be left behind!" A brigade commander looked at Guo Song's back and sighed.

Zhang Feng shook his head, "It's already March, and those dog days on the grassland are likely to come this year, Lingzhou Lao Duan's life is not easy, leave him to Lao Duan!"

If I'm not mistaken, he should be from the Guo family in Lingzhou, hum! Guanlong Guo's five halls, except for the one of Huazhou Guo Ziyi, the others are all wine bags and rice bags, I have to write a letter to Lao Duan, don't blame me for not reminding him afterwards. ”
