When the eight veterans heard this, they were suddenly surprised, their monthly salary was not consistent, and their income increased more than ten times at once, and they also left this bitter cold place, and they didn't have to die at any time on the battlefield, which made them extremely grateful to Zhang Bin, the new master, and at the same time knelt on one knee, and said in unison: "Thank you Gongzi, I will definitely die for Gongzi." ”

Zhang Bin was very satisfied with the reaction of the eight veterans, money was not a problem, he had no doubt that he would have a lot of money soon, but it was a rare thing to be able to get the sincere allegiance of the eight veterans of a hundred battles.

Moreover, he had no friendship with these eight veterans before, and if he said something to win people's hearts, it was better to give money directly and set a high salary, which was the best way to get the loyalty of the eight veterans as soon as possible.

Seeing that Zhang Bin had initially subdued eight veterans, Wang Sunchen smiled and handed over a very delicate hard bow to Zhang Bin, and said: "Ziyu, this is a hard bow I personally built three years ago, the bowstring is made of the Tubo old white cow tendon soaked in my Wang's unique medicinal liquid, the accuracy is better than the ordinary strong bow, and the bowstring is relaxed, but it will not reduce the force, just suitable for your current archery skills, give you all the way to self-defense." ”

"Haha...... Thank you Shun Chen, with your bow, I will be able to pierce the throat of ordinary thieves with one arrow. Zhang Bin went straight over.

The others also stepped forward to say goodbye one by one, but there were no gifts, only money, probably discussed, each of which was fifty yuan, which was already a lot, and it happened to be a month's worth for these senators.

Zhang Bin knew that this was the custom of this era, because it was extremely difficult for people to go far away, and they would give away coils.

So he was not polite, and after thanking him, he asked the tiger head next to him to accept them one by one.

At this time, a sergeant and a scribe in his forties rode fast horses from the city one after another, dismounted, and strode towards Zhang Bin.

The sergeant was sent by Chong Ge and gave Zhang Bin a gift of one hundred taels of silver, and there was also a letter that he asked Zhang Bin to bring to friends in the capital.

The scribe was Han Jiang's staff, and he even sent a bag of silver, a letter, and a document with Han Jiang's official seal.

The gift of the deputy prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty was naturally more than that of the seed man, which was two hundred taels. And that letter was for him to bring to a certain bigwig in the capital.

Zhang Bin knew that as a kind of brother and Han Jiang, it was not a matter to send his own soldiers or retinue fast horses to send the letter to the capital at all, but he deliberately asked him to bring the letter, obviously it was not a simple letter, and the focus was mostly to let Zhang Bin meet the person who received the letter. As for what kind of purpose these two people are in, Zhang Bin can't guess for a while.

After a group of colleagues who were familiar with Zhang Bin said goodbye and left, Wang Sunchen and Liu Changzuo wanted to send him to ten miles away, where a banquet had been prepared in advance, and Zhang Bin was going to drink farewell wine.

In fact, there is a reason why the ancients paid more attention to farewell than later generations, think about the inconvenient transportation of the ancients, and there is no such fast means of communication as the later generations.

The so-called "ecstasy is the only thing to do!" That's what it means.

……

May 1, Baishui County, northern Shaanxi.

One moment there were no clouds, the next moment suddenly dark clouds obscured the sky, and then a torrential downpour of rain fell on the smoky post road.

One after another, thunderbolts got closer and louder, accompanied by electric light, tearing through the dark sky.

The post man of the post house in Shuitou Town stretched his neck from the door of the house, and saw the rain pouring down from the eaves, walls, and tree tops, like splashing water, and flowing out of the courtyard along the cracks in the door and ditch, and couldn't help but scold: "This is the weather of the straight thief." ”

Shaking his head, the post man was about to retract into the house, when he faintly heard a few neighing of horses on the post road. This post man is a veteran who has retired from the battlefield, and when he hears the voice, he knows that it is not an ordinary horse, but an excellent war horse. He hurriedly turned his head sideways, beckoned to the house, and scolded: "Zhou Laosan, hurry up and find Lingyi, an official is coming." ”

I heard someone in the house scolding: "This weather, there are still people .........."

As he spoke, a young man in his twenties walked over with a coat and a hat.

Yi Cheng snatched the coat and hat, put it on his body, and walked out in the heavy rain. Zhou Laosan hurriedly went out, only to see a carriage wrapped in rainwater, whistling and stopping outside the gate.

The carriage was accompanied by six knights on warhorses.

At this time, although these knights had already been soaked by the heavy rain, they all seemed to be unimpressed, and they all had a solemn aura of slaughter. Yi Cheng was stunned for a moment, guessing that these people were the elite of the border army, and now they were acting as guards for the people in the carriage in the rain, and he didn't know who the officials in the carriage were.

One of the knights at the head of the post house saw that only two people came out to greet him, frowned, and shouted, "Which of you is the head?" ”

Yi Cheng hurriedly laughed and replied: "The small one is the Yi Cheng here." ”

The knight glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and exclaimed, "There are only two people in your station?" Don't call anyone out to say hello yet........."

He was scolding, when he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "Han Hu, speak politely." ”

"Yes, Childe." The knight named Han Hu answered, turned around, and saw a young man less than twenty years old coming down from the carriage in the heavy rain, and Han Hu saw the young man come out, walked over quickly, and said, "Childe, why did you come out of such a heavy rain?" ”

Yi Cheng saw the general age of the young man clearly, and his heart moved, remembering some of the news he heard from the post guard who was heading from Dashun City to Jingzhao Mansion in the morning, and thought to himself, could it be that one?

While thinking, Yi Cheng had already taken Zhou Laosan to call the people of the post house to come out and lead the carriage and horses into the stable, and welcomed the group into the post house.

After a period of busy work, after settling down, the knight named Han Hu next to the young man specially emphasized that he should take good care of the horses, and Yi Cheng did not dare to slack off, so he went to the stable to see the forage himself.

When he arrived at the stable, Zhou Laosan came over and asked, "Yitou, this official who came just now is so young, what kind of person is it, I see that the six knights around him seem to be the elite of the border army." ”

Yi Cheng patted Zhou Laosan's head and scolded: "What do you care about doing so much? Just wait carefully. ”

Zhou Laosan said with a smile: "It's my business, I just see that he is so young and has an extraordinary bearing." I've been doing it at the inn for so many years, and I've never encountered it. ”

Yi Cheng added some grass to the manger and said: "Your kid has been in the post house for a long time, and his eyesight is getting more and more accurate, this one is really a powerful person." ”

Huang Laosan became more and more curious, and said with a smile: "Yitou, when you say this, I am more and more curious, who is this young official?" ”

Yi Cheng looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Who are you?" Recently, there have been a lot of good news in Dashun City, all thanks to him, he is to follow the Banchao and kill Zhang Bin, the messenger of the Western Thief in the Black Luo Department! ”
