Hearing the sound outside the door, Xi Zhicai was sensitive to hearing, and immediately heard that this was indeed Liu Qiao's voice, and he said to his wife:

"This is Liu Zigao!"

The drama wife nodded when she heard this, Liu Qiao can also be regarded as a person who can leave some impressions on Xi Zhicai's friends, although this person has a strong philistine spirit, but he is also a friend who is impressed by his husband's talent, every time he comes, although he inevitably wants to drink and play with Xi Zhicai, he will also deliberately lose some coins, or bring some wine, meat and food to help Xi Zhicai, and he can be regarded as one of Xi Zhicai's friends.

Xi Zhicai looked a little excited, Liu Qiao traveled all over the business, every time he came back, he was able to bring back some interesting anecdotes, now the Kanto army is rising, the Quartet is in a chaotic situation, Liu Qiao left last time, it is said that he is going to sell goods in Ruyang, Kyoto, this time he came back, just to ask him about the situation in Luoyang City now.

He answered loudly at the door, and was about to go out into the courtyard to open the door.

"Shoes!"

The drama wife saw that he was walking barefoot, and hurriedly whispered a reminder, and the drama only reacted at this time, he looked at his bare feet, and he didn't care, smiled, and in the urging eyes of the drama wife, he casually stepped on straw sandals, walked out of the yard, moved the latch behind the door, and slowly opened the wooden door.

The wooden door creaked and opened slowly, and half of Xi Zhicai's face appeared from behind the door, and with a sweep of his eyes, he had quickly taken in the scene outside the door.

It was really Liu Qiao who came, and he was still carrying a food box in his hand, this time he must have brought wine and meat, but Xi Zhicai quickly noticed that Liu Qiao's expression was a little reluctant, and behind him was standing a burly young man in a hakama and pleats, smiling at himself at this time.

The burly young man naturally let Liu Qiao lead the way, and Yan Xing, who came to visit Xi Zhicai, saw that Liu Qiao was still standing in place, and secretly poked Liu Qiao with his finger without a trace, Liu Qiao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly smiled and said:

"Zhicai, I haven't seen you for many days, my home is good, I can finally see you again······"

Nagging and talking, Liu Qiao smiled and squeezed in from the door that was not completely open, Xi Zhicai suppressed the doubt in his heart, and simply opened the door, so that Yan Xing behind Liu Qiao also came in, but when he opened the door and expanded his sight, he also noticed that in addition to these two people, outside his own door, there were two more wandering big men, although they were dressed in coarse cloth clothes, but judging from their pace and form, they seemed to be people who practiced martial arts.

Xi Zhicai smiled quietly, and after the two people came in, he slowly closed the door and said with a faint smile:

"In the past few years, I heard that there were military disasters outside, early this morning, even Yangcheng was hit by military disasters, the whole city was on alert, and idle people were not allowed to enter and leave without permission, where did you come from, and you were able to come to me."

As he spoke, Xi Zhicai also casually pointed to the direction of the west, the looting territory controlled by Yan Xing's soldiers and horses in the east of the city was better, and there were no signs of chaotic looting, but there was no such good luck in other parts of the city, the military officials took the soldiers to plunder the rich households, and a few sergeants took the opportunity to run to the homes of ordinary Qianshou to cause trouble, and some scoundrels and evil teenagers in the city also took this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and rob the good houses.

The sound of horses' hooves and shouts of the Xiliang soldiers, coupled with the cries and wails of the people who suffered from the military disaster, drifted intermittently from afar with the light wind.

Listening to Xi Zhicai's question, Liu Qiao smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly followed Yan Xing's instructions before coming, pointed at Yan Xing and said to Xi Zhicai:

"I'll first introduce you to a new friend, Yan Jun, Mingyan, the word Yanming, is a merchant who sells war horses back and forth in the north, I met in Luoyang this time, I waited with the military market of the imperial army all the way to Yangcheng, because there are military officials I know, and I have the documents to pass, so I can come to your house, I don't stand outside the courtyard first, let's talk about it, I talked to Yan Jun about your knowledge and learning, Yan Jun admires it very much, I must come to see you."

Xi Zhicai listened to Liu Qiao's words, laughed, and hurriedly saluted Yan Xing, and said:

"Yan Junxiu wants to listen to Liu Zigao's nonsense, but he can't be a drunkard in Yangcheng, where can he learn anything."

"The drama is too modest, Liu Jun once talked about Fan Li's learning with the next, it is said that it was the drama Jun who pointed out, and I was extremely impressed after listening to it at the time, although he has been a businessman for many years, but he can tell the way of this merchant so thoroughly, it is still the words of the drama king, so this time when he comes to Yangcheng, he must let Liu Jun lead the way, and come to meet the drama in person, Meng Lang is abrupt, please forgive the drama gentleman!"

From the beginning before entering the door to greeting each other, Yan Xing had been paying attention to Xi Zhicai, in addition to looking at the situation in the courtyard.

Xi Zhi is only over thirty years old, his face is a little yellow, his thin face has a pair of dark and bright eyes, although he has grown a beard, but his beard is messy, which shows that he is used to being raunchy on weekdays.

The clothes on his body looked quite down, although the clothes were not as ragged and unbearable as Liu Qiao said when they first met, but a blue Confucian robe was also washed and white, and there were some patches sewn on it, which showed that this poor man was living an embarrassing life.

Although there are pigsty and chickens in the yard, there is no sound of poultry and livestock, and a few vegetable beds reclaimed in the corner are also covered with some crooked weeds.

While Yan Xing had a full view of everything in the courtyard, Xi Zhicai had also secretly looked at the burly horse merchant in front of him, with a big waist and a round waist, and a tiger's back, his face was also tough and distinct, although Liu Qiao said that this Yan Jun was a horse merchant from the North, but Xi Zhicai didn't believe it in his heart.

Although it is a troubled time now, many of the businessmen who go south and north are people who are accustomed to martial arts and are athletic, like this kind of northland horse merchant is a high-risk and high-profit business, although the war horse is sold from the grassland Hu tribe to the Central Plains, often a war horse can make a profit several times to ten times, but the horse thieves along the road, the thieves who cut the path are all murderous people who seek money and kill people, not really ruthless characters, it is difficult to really start by selling horses.

But this Yan Jun is not a simple horse merchant ruthless character, the momentum of the Yuan Yue Zhi on his body is unusual, Xi Zhicai has also seen many businessmen who smuggle and sell salt and iron, they may be full of flesh and fierce appearance, but the momentum on his body is just a fierce and fierce spirit.

And this Yan Jun, the momentum on his body is calm and calm, at first glance, he doesn't feel the depth, but it is like a high mountain and a pool of abyss, which makes people feel at ease, and at the same time, he can't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart.

The two of them had their own thoughts, but the kind words in their mouths did not stop, and the three of them entered the house of Xi Zhicai's house before and after.

Seeing that there were guests entering the house, the drama wife also hurriedly came over to greet Liu Qiao and Yan Xing, and served the hot soup with her own hands, Yan Xing saw that although she had a cloth skirt, she was delicate and virtuous, and remembered that Liu Qiao said that there was a good wife in Xi Zhicai's family, and she couldn't help but respect this woman who was willing to accompany Xi Zhicai, a poor man who was so poor, and did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reached out to take the hot soup she served with her own hands, and thanked her.

The wife knew that her husband and the two guests still had something to talk about, and according to the old habit, they would also play and drink in the house until nightfall, so after serving the hot soup, she withdrew into the courtyard with the clothes to be mended.

After Xi Zhicai saw his wife withdraw, he also turned to look at Liu Qiao and Yan Xing, although Liu Qiao brought one more friend over, but he was smart and wise, his personality was free and easy, and he had no money left at home, and he was not afraid of chaos and people were coveted, so he immediately took the food box in Liu Qiao's hand with one hand, and said while opening it:

"Liu Zigao, didn't you say that you were going to Luoyang City to sell goods, why did you become a mess in the military market again, could it be that the merchants were unfavorable, they lost all the goods, and they owed a lot of debts, so they could only hide in the military market to avoid trouble."

Xi Zhicai and Liu Qiao are also familiar friends, and he is also a businessman who ridicules Liu Qiao, and he is also unashamed, and he has nothing to say, and at the same time he looks at the upper and lower layers of food boxes, and every time he opens a layer, he praises and says:

"Hu cake, this fragrance, I haven't smelled it for a long time, hey, and dog meat, great, these days there are many wars, the price of grain in the city is soaring, I have eaten the dregs of bran and wild vegetables for more than half a month, just like the master, I don't smell the smell of meat in March, ah! There is still wine, or bamboo leaf green, which really wants to satisfy my verbal cravings. ”

Xi Zhicai quickly put the wine and meat in the food box on the table on the couch in the house, kept talking, and hurriedly brought the wooden coffin, filled three Hu cakes and some dog meat, and ran to the yard quickly.

Seeing Xi Zhicai running around, Liu Qiao smiled heartily, but when he caught a glimpse of Yan Xing's scrutinizing eyes beside him, his face instantly collapsed, and he whispered to Yan Xing:

"Yan, Yan Jun, Zhicai and his wife are very affectionate, his wife has suffered a lot for Zhicai, and Zhicai's heart is most worried about his wife. Zhicai was often afraid that his wife would be cold and starving outside the house, so he would always have to put food on it and send it outside the yard before returning to the house. ”

Yan Xing nodded when he heard this, but he didn't speak, but he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, he didn't expect this drama to be an amorous species.

After Xi Zhicai returned to the house, he became smiling and smiling, a random wandering appearance, he smiled and took out the box, and said:

"You two, do you want to play first, or drink first?"

After Liu Qiao glanced at Yan Xing's eyes, he looked at Xi Zhicai again and said:

"Zhicai, since the wine and meat have been put on the bed, let's talk while drinking."

"It's okay, that's high, you can tell me first, why did you run into the military market?"

Xi Zhicai didn't care, he dropped the game equipment casually, jumped on the couch and sat opposite the two, the wine and meat were placed on the table, the wooden coffin, the dagger and the wine cup were also ready, Xi Zhicai asked in his mouth, he had already raised the wine cup full of wine, toasted to the two, and then impatiently sent the wine into his mouth, as the wine poured into the stomach, Xi Zhicai's face gradually revealed a touch of blood red, he shook his head and shouted happily.

And when Liu Qiao heard Xi Zhicai ask about his wandering in the military market, his face couldn't help but become a little embarrassed, and more importantly, with Yan Xing here, he couldn't tell the truth.

Yan Xing looked at Xi Zhicai, who looked like a drunkard, thoughtfully, he knew that Liu Qiao was hesitating how to answer, so he took the initiative to answer first:

"Liu Jun is smart, in the military market, businessmen all want to make profits by selling goods, but Liu Jun is profiting from it with the position of a puppet, not only avoiding competing with many wealthy businessmen, but also being able to make good connections.

When Xi Zhicai heard Yan Xing talk about Fan Lizhixue, who had instructed Liu Qiao, he immediately laughed, grabbed the dog meat with his greasy hands and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely:

"What kind of Fan Lizhi's learning, it's just a few rumors I heard randomly, I'm a drunkard in Yiyang City, drunk all day long, and it's rare for me to be sober, where can I guide others?"
