Chapter 6 I Am a Merchant

Since Zhao Yi beat Zhao Yi and arrested Zhang Fei, he has never been steady. put the fire on the body, and don't let the chickens and dogs restless. And his sister wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp either. This family is not worry-free.

It's only been a few days, and the eldest brother and the second brother have come to the door, and they must have come to negotiate with themselves for Zhang Fei's business, and if they don't agree with each other later, one is the pillar of Shu Kingdom, and the other is the martial saint Guan Yu, so they have to suffer with their little arms and legs. Now go to the code man? Obviously, it's too late, and the guy Li Si can't be relied on in time.

In Zhao Yi's eyes, Liu Bei can be regarded as a reasonable person, at least stronger than Cao Cao, and no matter how bad he is, he will not give his subordinates' wives to shabu shabu.

Zhao Yi stubbornly walked over, and at the same time quietly took out the silver needle and hid it in the gap between his index finger and middle finger.

The jujube seller didn't say a word from beginning to end, holding the wine bottle in front of his nose and smelling it, as if he was tasting wine. I didn't see his large knife after sweeping around, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Like most people, Guan Yu is the most admired among the Three Kingdoms. Although the atmosphere is slightly awkward when I see an idol in this kind of place at this time, I feel cheap in my heart, obviously the other party doesn't look at me at all, but I still worship with excitement, and I can't wait to serve tea and cigarettes immediately.

Seeing that Zhao Yi's eyes were all focused on the jujube seller, the straw sandals seller stopped drying, and coughed twice: "Lord Zhao, can you recognize the two of me?" ”

"Of course I know, Liu Bei, the lieutenant of Anxi County, and Guan Yu, the righteous brother, right?"

"If you know it, why do you want to arrest my third brother? As an official in the same dynasty, adults are too unsympathetic, right? ”

Saying this, Zhao Yi felt aggrieved. He was already given enough opportunity at the beginning, but it was this kid who hit the muzzle of the gun with the pole. Besides, so far, I haven't beaten or scolded, I just locked up a small black room for a few days, it's enough to be emotional, what do you want? Could it be that you can make tea and pour water, treat yourself as a guest, and have to tell stories to coax you to sleep at night?

Zhao Yi didn't want to be too verbose on this matter, it was boring to talk too much, and diverted the topic.

"Since the county lieutenant has arrived in Fanyang County, how did he get to such a place? Isn't it a good mouthful? ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Liu Bei's face, and he pretended to be calm and took a sip of wine: "It was late when my brothers entered the city, and they didn't want to disturb adults, so they consigned to this place and waited for dawn to visit, but they met adults here." Speaking of this, Liu Bei glanced at the sister flowers at the door, and said in his words: "I'm afraid it's not an accident that adults appear here, right?" ”

Guan Yu, who had been tasting wine, said coldly at this time: "Big brother, let's come here for the third brother." ”

Liu Bei realized that he was a little out of shape, put down his wine glass, and clenched his fists: "Lord Zhao, my third brother is a little reckless on weekdays, but he is not a bad person, please see how about letting him go in my Liu Xuande's face?" ”

Zhao Yi was still a little jealous before, but after thinking about it, this is on his own territory, what are you afraid of? The strong dragon can't overpower the ground snake.

"Brother Liu, you are embarrassing me. Zhang Fei smashed the plaque, openly picked quarrels and provoked trouble, and injured me, this crime is a big crime, if he is released like this, it is not enough to make the people angry. Believe it or not, my shoulders are still blue. Zhao Yi deliberately pulled a corner of his clothes, exposing his shoulders to Liu Bei, and the egg-sized black mark was enough to prove how much strength Zhang Fei had exerted at that time.

The facts are in front of us, and Liu Bei cannot deny it, and it must be stopped at the back door.

"Then according to the adult's opinion, how can you let my third brother go?"

"Well said."

"Well, what do you say?"

Zhao Yi glanced at Guan Yu next to him, and found that Guan Yu's eyebrows were slightly narrowed, and his expression was calm, as if he had not intervened in the negotiations between him and Liu Bei at all, but Zhao Yi did not doubt that once something happened, this beautiful bearded man could kill himself with one move.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath and stabilized his mind.

"There's a word called 'parole,' and to put it bluntly, it's money to get over."

Liu Bei showed a smile that was like this: "Understood, how much do adults want?" ”

How much is not the goal, the purpose is turnover. Zhang Fei will be a priceless treasure jade in the future, but now he is just a stubborn stone, how much can it be worth? Even if it is a sky-high price, now Liu Bei is just a small county lieutenant, and his annual income is no more than 100 stones, and he has just stabilized in Anxi County, so it is impossible to have too much private money.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yi stretched out a finger: "Thousand stones." ”

When these words came out, Guan Yu, who had been bowing his head and tasting wine, slowly raised his head, and a touch of displeasure flashed on his face. I guess I think this person either didn't wake up, or he just hadn't seen the money. Now is the time when the world is in turmoil, food is the most valuable, and he opened his mouth to ask Liu Bei for ten years. It is rumored that Zhao Yi is an arrogant and lascivious person, it seems that this can be regarded as promoting him, I really don't know how Fanyang County escaped the Yellow Turban thief some time ago with such a magistrate.

Liu Bei lowered his head and thought about it, he would definitely not be able to take out a thousand stones of grain. However, as the support of Anxi County, to ensure the safety of one party, it is not impossible to turn to the boss for help. There is also this Zhao Yi, he has heard of it for a long time, he is a famous gentleman in Chang'an, and there is Shangshu's right servant behind him as a backer, and it is not good for anyone to offend him.

After thinking about it, Liu Bei nodded and said: "A thousand stones are a thousand stones, a gentleman's covenant, you can't go back." ”

Zhao Yi waved his hand again and again: "What's the hurry, I haven't finished my words yet." ”

Qianshi grain is just a drop in the bucket for the current situation, the top is urging to pay taxes, and the soldiers below have to eat, and there is no Wanshi grain to solve the problem at all. As the saying goes, how productive the land is, how bold the people are, since the straw sandal sellers and the jujube sellers have come to the door, who will they slaughter if they are not slaughtered?

"A thousand stones of grain is just a deposit, and if you pay enough ten thousand stones, you can release your third brother."

Ten thousand stones of grain are enough for an army of 10,000 people to eat for two months, which is not a small amount. Liu Bei gasped, the wine bottle in his hand was not held steadily, fell to the ground, and splashed.

Guan Yu next to him was mistaken, thinking that it was a cup drop, so he stood up and reached out to slash at Zhao Yi's head. Zhao Yi doesn't know the truth that a companion is like a tiger, which one who does big things is not to kill people without blinking, and negotiate with this kind of person with a hundred more hearts, otherwise he doesn't know how to die. And as far as Zhao Yi knew, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang ran away because they were taking revenge on their bosses, so they had no doubt that Guan Yu would kill them on the spot.

"Selling dates, don't forget that this is Fanyang County, if you dare to attack me, none of you three brothers can escape!"

Guan Yu's palm stopped in mid-air, and he looked at Zhao Yi in disbelief: "How do you know that I have sold dates before?" ”

Zhao Yi ignored him, and looked at Liu Bei, who had already done a good job of breaking the net: "You are too anxious, you don't wait for others to finish speaking." Although it's ten thousand stones, I didn't say that it was all for you to come out. ”

"What do you mean?"

"What's the biggest problem right now? It's not the Yellow Turban thieves who are messing around. Instead of being passive, let's join forces and take the initiative. After slaughtering, you take all the heads back, and exchange them for head money, the money belongs to me, and the credit belongs to you. In this way, everyone takes what they need, and everyone is happy. ”

This turn of events made Liu Bei a little unexpected, pinching the wine bottle and thinking carefully. Anxi County is not much bigger than Fanyang County, and there are not too many dozens of guards, so it is naturally easy to deal with those rabble. But now the news that the Yellow Turban is going south has made everyone feel at risk, and there is a city to defend and still struggle. In the pavilions, townships, and lanes below, it was miserable, and everywhere they passed, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, and it was only a matter of time before a large number of enemy troops arrived here. And the conditions given by Zhao Yi can not be said to be the best policy, money is secondary, mainly military merits, if you can break away from the county system, and climb a few steps further, the future is limitless.

Liu Bei looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be out of tune, but he could always get to the point when he spoke: "Anxi County is strong and strong, and there are two of us brothers, so it is naturally not a problem to take the initiative to attack, since you are cooperating, and ask, what do you have?" ”

Zhao Yi smiled: "I have your third brother." ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, this was clearly a white wolf with empty gloves, he had never seen anyone in his life, but it was the first time he had seen someone like Zhao Yi who blatantly set people up. It's not so much a villain, but rather that he's not even too lazy to be hypocritical.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem to hurt me.

……

North of Fanyang County, on a hillside one hundred and fifty miles away, a man in a black robe with a yellow ribbon tied around his head was looking thoughtfully at the sky to the south. On his left hand side were a man and a woman, on all fours, with only a few pieces of cloth on their bodies covering their shyness, like two humanoid dogs. They each had a black pocket over their heads, and in bright red pen they wrote 'adulterer, adulteress'.

At the foot of the mountain, a white horse ran out of the endless barracks, on the back of the horse sat a person, holding a spear, wearing leather armor, a yellow scarf on his head, his cheeks were as sharp as a knife, and a pair of starry eyes were embedded under the eyebrows of two sharp swords, and the cold light was shining in the dark night. A moment later, the white horse galloped in front of the man in black, the horse was wild and fierce, and the horse's hooves trampled on the gravel and splashed, causing the two naked men to scream incessantly.

"My lord, the road has been discovered, and we can go south tomorrow. Guo Xun's men and horses are stationed in the north, and if they take advantage of the night to attack, they can win. ”

The man in black stood with his hands in his hands: "Guo Xun's soldiers and horses have been stationed for a long time, but not a single soldier has been moved, which is called suppression, which is really a deterrent, don't care about him." By the time he reacted, we had already captured Fanyang, Anxi and other counties, and we could sweep the north by joining forces with Jizhou Dafangli. According to the original plan, Anxi County will be opened early tomorrow morning. By the way, why hasn't Liu Kui come back yet? ”

The handsome man hesitated a little, saw the sharp gaze of the man in black, and hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "Lord Bing, Liu Kui was good at attacking Fanyang County and was defeated, together with him and his soldiers were killed eighty-three people, and the rest of the soldiers and horses scattered and fled, and there was no trace. ”

"Hmph, just a few hundred people dare to storm the county seat, I don't know the depth, and I am innocent! So who is guarding Anyang County? ”

"Li Si, a local, just an ordinary county lieutenant."

The man sneered: "If it is really an ordinary person, how can he have the ability to kill Liu Kui, I don't think it maybe, this Fanyang County is afraid of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!" ”

"Lord, do you need to raise some people to spoil the prestige of Fanyang County?"

The man looked down at the men and women kneeling next to him, with a smile on his face: "No need, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, how can you stop my army from attacking?" After speaking, the smile on the man's face deepened: "How long has it been since the soldiers have eaten meat?" ”

"A month."

The man in black stretched out his hand and pointed to the naked man kneeling at his feet: "Open meat for the soldiers tonight." ”

"Whoa!"

The naked man was so frightened that he struggled and roared but to no avail, and was thrown on the back of the horse by the cold man, and went straight to the barracks, the woman's body trembled, but she did not dare to make the slightest movement. The man in black sighed lightly, looked at the night in the south, and asked lightly, "Madam, which one do you say is more damned, a woman who does not abide by women's morals or a subordinate who is bold?" ”
