Chapter 180: Dowry

"Xiao Ning, that's not a few thousand, but tens of thousands. Where does the grain come from? ”

After making the people retreat with the authority of the grandmaster, Lin Ning and his party were about to go out of the city and return to the mountain, and with Tian Wuniang's temperament, they couldn't help but ask.

Lin Ning chuckled lightly and said, "Hou Yuchun has been visiting friends in the Qin Kingdom recently, and he got a piece of news that you didn't pay attention to before. ”

"What's the news?"

Tian Wuniang asked in surprise.

Lin Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile: "Three days ago, Emperor Qin had already traveled to Qingzhou in person. ”

Tian Wuniang's eyes widened when she heard this, and she said, "So ...... said."

Lin Ning nodded and said softly: "The Great War of the Central Plains is about to start again, and this time is likely to be different from the past. At least for thousands of years, it was the first time that the king of a country had been on the front line before the war began. Hou Yuchun said that most of the power of the Black Ice Platform had also been concentrated, and most of the other two holy places were like this.

Therefore, once the news of the war comes from Qingzhou, our side can let go of our hands and feet to raid the family home. This food may not be able to save the whole world, but it can save as much as it is. ”

Zhou Nini was a little angry on the side, and said unwillingly: "Xiao Ning, those people say bad things about us and scold us, why do you still want to help them?" ”

Lin Ning laughed and said: "Don't pay attention to these scoldings, starting next month, our Qingyun Village will become a Buddha of ten thousand families." At that time, if there are still people scolding, you can clean up and let you vent. ”

After that, he said to Tian Wuniang: "After seeing Xiao Jiu'er's appearance today, I am more and more determined to come down from the mountain one day earlier." She is still so young, her world should not be so much a copycat, and she should not face a life of being spurned. In the future, our children will be the same. ”

Tian Wuniang looked back at Tian Jiuniang, who was in a depressed mood who was silently following Ning Nannan's side, and seemed to feel her sister's gaze, Xiao Jiuniang raised her head and looked at her sister and brother-in-law, but gave a big smile.

But the more sensible she was, the more distressed Lin Ning felt in her heart.

Xiao Jiuniang was naturally not depressed because she was saddled with the name of a thief, Lin Ning knew that she was in a low mood because she was shouted and killed by so many uncles, uncles, grandparents and grandparents in the city.

She didn't expect that these people hated the people in the cottage so much and hated her......

Tian Wuniang looked at Lin Ning and said softly: "What do you want to do, just do it, I will always be in front of you......"

“……”

Lin Ning was speechless, shouldn't he be behind him?

Wrong!

Lin Ning reacted suddenly, the positive color on his face dissipated in an instant, and he squeezed his eyebrows and whispered: "Okay, this is what you said, you will be in front of me tonight, turn your back......"

Tian Wuniang's pretty face suddenly flashed a flush, and after glaring at this shameless and shameless glance, she walked out of the city gate in one step, taking Aunt Chun and Xiao Jiuniang first.

Lin Ning laughed, carried Ning Nannan behind him, and hugged Zhou Nini in his arms, transported the blue wolf to catch up with Tian Wuniang.

……

"Uncle Eight is back?"

In the lobby of the Dragon Gate Inn, because the war is approaching, there may be some people who deliberately suppress it, so there is not a single guest.

Coming back from Yulin City, Lin Ning was playing with Xiao Jiuniang in the lobby, and the little girl who was messing with forgot the previous unpleasantness, and when she smiled and leaned back, she saw Zhou Cheng come in and got up to greet her.

Zhou Cheng was also followed by Fang Lin, Hu Dashan and other family members, all of whom were members of their own family, and there were not many outsiders, after everyone sat down, Hu Xiaoshan, the second shopkeeper of the inn, finally came to use, Baba ran to serve tea and pour water, and glanced at Lin Ning with a resentful look.

originally thought that he could do a great career, but who would have thought that he would be reduced to the point of helping the kitchen cook and receive homeless people.

When Fang Zhi, Zhou Shi, and Zeng Niu came back, they knew that they wouldn't laugh off their big teeth?

Seeing him like this, Lin Ning couldn't help but smile and said, "See what I'm doing?" Now that you have a big leisure, you can't blame me, time is also fate, who knows that there will be a good day, but these three kingdoms have convulsions and want to fight? Okay, okay, don't look at it, the tears are coming out, you ask the eighth uncle if he wants you, and if he wants you, he will mess with him. ”

When Hu Xiaoshan heard this, his tears were really coming down, and he looked at Zhou Cheng speechlessly.

Zhou Cheng was startled, but he also knew why this kid was like this, he laughed and said, "Okay, if you don't feel tired, just follow me these days." ”

When Hu Xiaoshan heard this, he excitedly pulled off the little second hat on his head, and said loudly: "I'm almost idle, if I hold it back, I have to go crazy!" Uncle Eight, take me away! ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and after sending this kid away, Zhou Chengyan returned to the right and preached: "I stayed in Guangyang County for ten days, and I checked the roots of the Mao family. Not to mention, I used to hear Xiao Ning say that the family is bad, and I still don't understand what the bad is. But this time in Guangyang County, I really opened my eyes. I don't know if I don't check, but when I check inside, I find that those glamorous families outside are more black-hearted than our cottage, and even darker, more ruthless and more poisonous than the previous Shahai Village!! I finally understand now why those homeless people would rather run to our Canglan Mountain than sell them into the family casually, it is simply the Hell of Huangquan! ”

Listening to Zhou Cheng's emotion, Fang Lin and Hu Dashan looked at each other and said, "Old eight, is it really so ruthless?" ”

Although they are all old rivers and lakes, their vision is always on the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the family is too far away for them.

Moreover, most of the famous families in the world pay great attention to reputation, especially Qi Guo, which has a lot of reputation, how could Zhou Cheng make such a sigh again and again.

Zhou Cheng sighed, gritted his teeth and said: "On the surface, of course they are very good, building bridges and paving roads, giving rice and porridge, but in fact, the Mao family colluded with the Qingpi gang, put money in prints, opened gambling stalls, and set up a bureau to pit how many people broke people and sold their sons and daughters, not to mention these things, after all, they only inquired." But what I saw with my own eyes was even more hateful. The Mao family also accepts displaced people, and they are much more arrogant than our cottages, they are open to collect, no matter how much. I wondered how much money they had to have, how much food they had to reap at once. But I quietly followed it, only to find out that the homeless people they collected, the men were all sent to the Mao's iron mine to open a mine, and most of the women were sold to the Mao's Qinglou to pick up customers! I didn't go to the Qinglou, but I want to know the cats inside. I went to the iron mine of the Mao family, where is the mine, it is clearly a fire pit that swallows people! In the four days I spent observing in the dark, more than 100 people, mostly old people and children of eleven or twelve, were thrown into the abandoned mine. These people are trying to get a way to live, who knows......"

Thinking of the tragic situation he witnessed, with Zhou Cheng's heart of being a family member in the cottage for many years, it was difficult to say for a while, and it was conceivable how dark it was in the Maojia iron mine.

Fang Lin may still be difficult to think about, but Lin Ning is different, he has seen a movie called "Blind Well" in his previous life.

In such a new era, it still gives people a sense of darkness, let alone the present?

Lin Ning lowered his eyes and said, "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world, that's the truth." In fact, in the prosperous years, this kind of thing is indispensable, but most of it is covered up. If it weren't for the means of cannibalism, how could those wealthy families have so much wealth and luxury, drunk and dreaming of death? The world has suffered from these people for a long time. ”

Zhou Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Ning, don't you want to attack the family?" Let's start with Guangyang Mao's family! Although his family has raised many masters in the rivers and lakes, he definitely can't afford to raise a grandmaster. Guangyang County is two hundred miles south of us, there are a hundred miles to take the waterway, the Mao family has a boat, let's take it directly after destroying him for Tianxingdao, and then load all the pig iron and grain accumulated by his family into a ship, send it to the wharf a hundred miles away, and then load it and transport it back to the cottage. The Mao family has saved so much black money, we can't let it go!! ”

Lin Ning nodded and said, "In the past few days, Eighth Uncle, you and the Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle will discuss the marching route, and then see which people are dispatched to transport goods, the details determine success or failure, and after these are agreed, we will go on the expedition." This battle is just the beginning, we must continue to sum up experience and lessons in the process of marching, especially what are the shortcomings, and wait until the next time to go out, there can be no more mistakes, and slowly, it will be trained into a strong army. ”

Fang Lin, Hu Dashan, and Zhou Cheng nodded together......

……

"Xiao Lang Jun, Xiao Lang Jun!"

Lin Ning did not interfere in the specific military affairs of the cottage, at least not at present, leaving the three cottage family members to discuss in the lobby, Lin Ning went up to the second floor first, but he didn't wait for him to go back to the room to pick up Xiao Jiuniang and then go up to the cottage, in the corridor, he saw Jun'er and the maid running panting, with an excited look on her face.

Lin Ning smiled and said, "What's the matter, so happy?" ”

Jun'er's little face was flushed, she looked very happy, put her hands behind her back, and said with a smile like a flower: "Xiao Langjun, Uncle Yan is back and has brought a lot of belongings, Miss likes you so much, these belongings are her dowry!" Are you happy? ”

A look of "congratulations on making a fortune" look......

Lin Ning twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Yan Zhong has returned safely?" It seems that he didn't meet Qinglong, otherwise he would probably suffer. ”

Jun'er couldn't help but be a little disappointed when she saw that Lin Ning didn't jump up happily, in her opinion, it shouldn't be, her young lady confessed like that, and Xiao Langjun didn't drive them away, isn't there a sense of acquiescence?

Now that the cottage is in need of goods, her young lady has prepared such a rich dowry, which can be used by Lin Ning, how can she be unhappy?

Well, it must be Xiao Langjun who is thin-skinned and embarrassed to be happy.

Or maybe he hadn't seen so many good things......

Thinking of this, Jun'er grabbed Lin Ning's arm and said coquettishly: "Xiao Langjun, you go with me to have a look, there are really a lot of good things!" Aren't you going to raise people? You can pick some treasures from it and sell them, and sell any treasure to raise many people. ”

She didn't know that it wasn't possible to buy food with money right now......

Seeing that she held her arm in her arms and felt the delicate touch of the fragrant and soft while shaking, Lin Ning thought about it, there is nothing left and right, just go and see.

But in the end, I still remember to pick up Xiao Jiuniang, who was laughing with Linglong Xiaodaogu, and went back to the cottage together.
