Chapter 7: Changing Clothes and Heading into the City
"Whew~ It's finally here."
About a mile away from the city gate, Wang Rui and the two saw the city gate of Wushan County, and there were many houses scattered around the city wall, paving.
From leaving the Minjiang River to the present, walking for half a day, Jingzhou is mostly mountainous, and Wushan County is named because it is located in the east of Wushan Mountain.
Although it is not as tall as Anyuan County, Wushan County is not to be underestimated, the location here is extremely central, extending in all directions, Wushan can send troops to garrison and take care of each other in the city, if it is a place where soldiers must fight for in wartime, this is what Wang Rui thinks in his heart, and he wants to step into the city after thinking about it.
"Come back."
Looking at Wang Rui, who wanted to enter the city, Wang Yong stepped forward and pulled him back. “
"Pull me for what, shouldn't we go into town?" Wang Rui, who almost stumbled and fell, turned to look at Wang Yong and said.
Seeing Wang Rui's appearance, Wang Yong almost laughed, and said with a smile: "Is it possible that you and I will dress up like this and go into the city." ”
"No, we have to find a place to change." Wang Rui looked himself up and down and agreed.
After speaking, he walked to a steamed bun shop not far away, the owner of the shop was shouting loudly, and many passers-by would buy one or two to satisfy their hunger.
The pedestrians who were buying buns saw Wang Rui and the others coming this way, and they ran away one after another.
"Hey! Ay! I haven't paid yet! Only the boss shouted in vain there, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the uncle and nephew who were in tattered clothes and had some bloodstains, so frightened that he dropped the rag in his hand and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Jun, Junye, I don't know what Junye has to do." ”
Wang Rui glanced at Wang Yong, Wang Yong reluctantly took out one or two pieces of silver from his waist and handed them to Wang Rui, Wang Rui handed them to the owner of the bun shop and said, "Are these enough for bun money?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare the villain take your money." The shop owner hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself.
"If you want to take it, you will take it, what is not to dare." Wang Rui directly stuffed the money into his hand and said, "By the way, find me two clean clothes." ”
"Hey, okay, wait a minute." He didn't shirk anymore, the silver sent to the door was not in vain, he turned around and entered the shop, and after a while, he came out with two sets of clothes, and handed it to Wang Rui with a smile: "This is the new clothes that the villain just bought two days ago, and I haven't worn them yet, don't dislike it, military master." ”
"Haha~ No, thank you, this bun should be given to me." Wang Rui took the clothes, took a bun in his hand, and said while eating.
"Hey, hey, the military master walks slowly." The shop owner sent the two away with a smile, he had no complaints about taking away a bun, after all, he had given money, and he earned more than 100 copper coins a day by selling buns, and today's harvest was enough for him to work hard for several days.
"Hey, by the way, don't talk about clothes everywhere, well, the buns are delicious." After not taking a few steps, Wang Rui suddenly turned around and said.
"Hey, don't worry, the villain's mouth is tight, besides, if I dare to say nonsense, the villain's head will be gone if you move your fingers, and the military master likes to eat and can come often!" The shop owner breathed a sigh of relief, he wished that Wang Rui, the wronged man, could come every day, hummed a little song and returned to the shop, and made a decision that he felt great in his life, um! Right! 'Closing the stall'!
Wang Rui and Wang Yong went to a remote place, changed their clothes, and then disappeared into the city with the surging crowd.
……
The Minjiang River, with a total length of more than 10,000 miles, runs through the land of five states, and there are not a few tributaries that spread to various places.
Wenshui is the largest tributary of the Min River, which has given birth to many fishermen who live by water, and there are also many thieves who block the river.
A big village was built on the edge of the Wenshui, the location of this village is extremely secret, but more than 100 ships docked at the side of the village today, this usually inconspicuous village is completely exposed, the only thing worth noting is a big ship among the 100 boats, if Wang Rui is here, he will definitely be able to recognize that this is the ship they used to transport disaster silver.
Looking inside along the gate of the village, there is a large hall surrounded by seven or eight houses in the wall, and six or seven big men with knives stand and guard outside the hall.
At this time, a handsome junior in the hall sat in the first seat, wearing a white robe and exuding a temperament rendered by the fragrance of books. just sharpened his eyes, staring at the big man standing in the hall. The big man lowered his head, sometimes secretly glanced at the person in the high seat, and wanted to raise his head several times to say something, but as soon as he raised his head, he didn't dare to look directly at the person, and only stood under the hall without saying a word, like a child being reprimanded.
At this time, a person came in from outside the door, stood at the foot of the hall, bowed, bowed, handed a booklet and said.
"Great Chief, the brothers have finished counting, please take a look."
The person sitting upright retracted his gaze, glanced at the visitor, took the booklet and read it carefully: "Well, it's okay, prepare more wine and meat to treat the brothers, and after resting, prepare for the evening, and we will return to the main village." There was no joy or anger in his tone, and he threw the booklet aside after speaking.
The man saluted again, said yes, glanced at the big man, turned and retreated.
"You want me to say something good about you! How many times have I told you not to act recklessly, and today you let him go for what reason, and you also reported your name, and when he happens, we will be in danger. The man in white stood up, his tone was a little angry, mixed with a little helplessness, and pointed to the big man and said.
"Brother, I, I didn't mean to, I promised others, promised others, and I had to do what I said, this is what you told me. I didn't expect that guy's strength to be so great, and he hit me in two hits. Hearing his brother speak, Zhang Ming knew that his brother's anger had almost disappeared, so he raised his head and said.
The person standing was Zhang Ming, and the white robe was his brother Zhang Huangwei.
"Leave this matter aside for the time being, but that Wang Rui is really as powerful as you said." Looking at this ramming brother, Zhang Huang could only sigh in his heart.
"I don't know, but I don't think he should use all his strength."
"Alright, you can go and rest too! Later, in the dead of night, we set off for home. ”
"Shall I go back too?"
"Or else?"
"And what about this stockade?"
"I'm afraid I can't hide it anymore."
"Why?"
"You think everyone is like you, more than a hundred boats, so many people watching, as long as people are not stupid, they will definitely find here."
"I, I"
"Don't you, yours, by the way, why didn't I know that you had other brothers besides me?" Zhang Huangwei's words seemed to be reprimanding Zhang Ming, but there was no reprimanding in his tone, but it was more like appeasement, saying that he was talking about such a thing, and it was another thing to listen to it. Zhang Ming knows that this is the terrible thing about his brother, which makes people confused. I don't know how to pick it up, and I don't know if he won't like it after you take it.
"Get used to it, hehe." Zhang Ming didn't follow his brother's words, scratched his head and smirked, then turned around and went out.
Zhang Huangwei shook his head lightly, walked to a few cases, picked up a pen, wrote a few lines on the paper, beckoned a person from outside the door, and whispered a few words, the person came to take the paper into his arms, trotted to the gate of the village, turned over a horse, and walked to the east.
Zhang Huangwei also walked out of the main hall, stopped and looked around, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that it's such a good place." ”
