Chapter 38: The Ringing Horse Robbery
If there is a book, it is long, and if there is no book, it is short.
Since Luo Xian'er knew Liu Wen's thoughts, she planned to stay by Yang Lin's side, using the close relationship between the backer king and Yang Jian to help Liu Wen eliminate the bad influence caused by Wei Chizhen and improve Yang Jian's impression of Liu Wen.
Therefore, when Liu Wen led the troops to Jibei, she did not leave with her.
……
After Liu Wen arrived in Jibei, in addition to coordinating with the Taishou of Jibei and arranging suitable arable land for his 3,000 soldiers to cultivate, he also had to meet with officials from various counties. There are so many trivial things every day, there is no time to visit relatives in Licheng.
When the New Year was approaching, Liu Wen sent someone to send a lot of goods to his aunt.
Although Qin Qiong's father, Qin Yi, died because of Yang Lin, Qin's mother did not want her son to seek revenge on him.
After all, Qin Yi died in the battle between the two countries, and even if Yang Lin didn't come, the other fierce generals of the Great Sui would also come back.
Now that the Great Sui Dynasty has unified the world, and Yang Lin is a high-powered backer, Qin Qiong really wants to assassinate him, but he hasn't avenged yet, so he put himself in first.
Therefore, in Qin's mother's heart, she only hopes that her son can live a peaceful and stable life, and just pass on the lineage to the old Qin family.
To tell the truth, the nephew was able to pay homage to the marquis, and Qin's mother was not only not angry, but very happy. With such a powerful close relative, whether it is Qin Qiong or his children in the future, they can follow the light.
In this way, you don't have to worry about living anymore.
And in this era, it is normal to bring relatives, and with Liu Wen's help, the old Qin family may be able to prosper again.
I have to say that compared to Qin Qiong, Qin's mother's thoughts are considered from the overall situation of the Qin family.
……
The 19th year of the emperor's reign (599 AD)
Unconsciously, a few months have passed, and it is the season of spring in March, the season of spring flowers.
Liu Wen once again received the main task:
Dong'e treasure hunting (Dong'e is an ancient town with a history of more than 1,000 years, and it is a necessary place for merchants from the east and west, north and south to come and go. In recent years, whenever salt merchants pass through Dong'e, local officials and Haoqiang will collect 10% of the secret tax, which not only opens the door for salt merchants, but also secretly runs their own illegal business.
Requirements: Go to Dong'e County and seize the people's fat and ointment looted by the county order and the hidden treasures. Rewards: 500 exchange points, 1 premium blessing card)
Although the system rewards are average.
But the money is very well paid.
Attracted by huge interests, Liu Wen, Li Shishi, and Zang Ahu disguised themselves as ordinary people and went to Dong'e County in three ways to inquire about the news.
Of course, Liu Wen also had to do this task, although the previous mission out of Hanzhong failed 3 times, but at that time, the initial task, even if it failed, he could continue to do it.
And after the failure of the task of passing the gun, it took half a year to regenerate the main line.
Liu Wen didn't want to delay like this again.
……
Now Liu Wen is seventeen years old, his height has grown to about 1.90 meters, his body is well-proportioned, his appearance is delicate, although he wears an ordinary coarse cloth clothes, but he has a poetry and calligraphy in his belly.
There is no way, the people of this era are having a hard time!
Dong'e County is close to the Yellow River in the north, belongs to the plain area, and there are not many ditches and ridges.
Although it has been developed in ancient times, the entire Great Sui Dynasty had a population of 45 million, and although ancient Yanzhou had an area of more than a dozen prefecture-level cities in later generations, it had a population of more than 2 million.
It's definitely vast and sparsely populated.
Liu Wen walked on the loess road and didn't see a pedestrian at all.
The black locusts on both sides of the road have turned green, the trees have sprouted, and even unknown flowers have bloomed, showing a thriving scene.
Anyway, there was no one, Liu Wen hung his throat and began to be sour: "Ah! Jasper is made into a tree ~~~ high, and ten thousand hanging green silk ~~~ silk. I don't know who cut the thin leaves ~~~ out, March ......"
"Phew!"
Before Liu Wen's poem was plagiarized, he suddenly shouted like a thunderclap, which scared him into shivering.
Then there was a man about 1.9 meters tall, burly and majestic, with a short beard on his face, who ran all the way from the side of the road and jumped in front of Liu Wen with a bang.
He threw the thick stick of the tea bowl in his hand to the ground and shouted: "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to fight this ......."
Liu Wen secretly laughed: I came to Dong'a Hei to eat black, and I also encountered a robbery.
When the other party said the third sentence, he immediately grabbed the words: "Leave your life behind!" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shook his head: "No! ”
"What's wrong?"
"I only want money, not life."
Liu Wen took a step forward and patted his chest, "See?" Beggar! If you don't have money, you need to die! ”
"Hey! You poor sour! I don't have the money to lame these sour words. The man was so angry that he smacked his teeth.
"Yes, poor sour, poor sour, not poor can be sour? You can't rob it, hurry up, if you don't rob me, I'll be in a hurry. ”
"Hey! Do you believe it or do you rob the road or do I rob the road, and I will beat you to death with a stick? ”
"Come, come, fight, fight here." Liu Wen said as he pointed to his head and stepped forward: "Anyway, I can't live anymore, come, fight, kill a hundred." ”
"Good! I'm scared of you! The man turned around and walked up the slope of the road.
Liu Wen didn't think about it, just forget it, and followed him uphill directly.
"What are you doing with me?!" The man shouted with disgust on his face.
"Let's do it."
"I don't need to!"
"I'd love to!"
"Why did you lie to me!"
"You're strong."
"Look at you, you're not short......"
"I'm poor. Haven't you heard a word? ”
"What?"
Liu Wenwen looked at the old pedant of this era, shook his head and said: "It is useless to be a scholar. ”
"You yourself said you were useless, so why are you following me?!"
"Do I need to be with you if I want to be useful?"
was glued to Liu Wen's dead face, and this man was about to cry.
"Alright, alright." Liu Wen smiled: "I can give you ideas." ”
"What's your idea?"
"Listen up. No matter how high the martial arts are, they are afraid of kitchen knives, no matter how good the martial arts are, the bricks will be overturned......"
"There's a point in what you're saying."
"Makes sense." Liu Wen smiled: "There is more reason." ”
"What's the truth?"
"I'll stop people in a while, and you beat the stuffy stick in the back, isn't this easy to rob?"
"No, no, I don't have anything light or heavy on my hands, if I beat someone to death, it won't be good."
"There is no shop in front of the village here, what are you afraid of?"
"That's not going to work either!" The man shook his head with a rattle: "We, we only seek money, not life, this is called theft and there is a way." He made Liu Wen dizzy, and unconsciously, he had already said 'we'.
"What kind of thief is this? The true thief also has a way of robbing the rich and helping the poor. ”
"That's right! Rob the rich and help the poor! The man clapped his hands, "That's it! We'll only stop the rich, and when the time comes, I'll get attention in the front, and you go to the back and beat the sticks......"
Before the man finished speaking, he saw a man leading a horse and slowly emerging from the horizon.
"Those who can afford horses must be rich people. That's it. The strong man stuffed the wooden stick into Liu Wen's arms, and then pushed Liu Wen to prepare, "Hurry up!" Be sure to hide it! ”
Liu Wen was speechless: How can this guy say that one is one out, and he comes exactly according to his own ideas? Isn't he afraid that I'm playing tricks on him?
