Volume 11 Travels to Qi Chu Chapter 8 Jimo

In the dark woods, after waiting for most of the night, he yawned boredly, sat down, leaned against a towering tree, quietly looked up at the sky in a daze, and in front of him, two sturdy horses, one white and one yellow, were also flicking their hooves in boredom, snorting, and gnawing on the grass on the ground to pass the time!

Seeing that it was nearly five watches, it was about to dawn, but he hadn't waited for Fusu, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and he casually folded a piece of grass from the ground around him and chewed it in his mouth, chewing it boringly, and continued to wait patiently.

In the distance, a touch of fish belly white gradually appeared, the dark night gradually receded, the earth began to brighten hazy, and he was waiting anxiously to hear a slight footstep in the west, and he jumped up vigilantly, holding the hilt of the sword behind his back with one hand, and whispered: "Who is it?"

"It's me!" Fusu said lightly.

"Your Majesty, you're here! Don't let me die! How's it going?" Wuxin sighed.

Fusu patted the hero sword behind him, and said with a smile: "The hero sword has changed its surname to win, and it is estimated that Hou Sheng will be angry this time!" Hahaha......" The two laughed.

Without further ado, it is estimated that Hou Sheng will find out soon, let's go quickly!"

Fusu nodded, took his white horse, and flew on the horse.

"Driving ——!" The two of them shouted loudly, and the two war horses broke through the silence of the early morning, shook down countless dewdrops, galloped out of the hazy morning light, and ran into the distance!

The two of them chased after each other all the way, and finally caught up with the brigade led by Wuxin, Qin Hu and others in the evening, so they converged all the way and quickly rushed to Jimo!

********

Jimo City, a famous port city located about 300 miles east of Linzi, maintains trade contacts with many ports such as Yan and Chu, plus the proximity to the sea, there are advantages of salt and iron, so it is very rich and prosperous, and has become a prosperous place second only to Linzi! Moreover, the people are open, the people are optimistic and kind, coupled with the lax laws of the Qi State, Jimo has become the paradise on earth that many anarchists yearn for the most!

At this time, it is noon, which is the most lively time of the day in Jimo City: the streets are full of pedestrians, constantly coming and going, and countless vendors on the side of the road are also shouting hard, selling strange goods from foreign countries in front of them; The restaurants on both sides of the road are also wafting with the intoxicating aroma of meat and wine, attracting many pedestrians!

Fusu and his party walked on the road, and the majestic military posture was naturally eye-catching, but the people of Qi had long been lazy by decades of peace, and they were not willing to look at Fusu and the others at all, and they were only busy with their own affairs!

Fusu had never been to the ancient harbor city, so he couldn't help but look at it in amazement, and walked comfortably all the way to the port area!

Look at the time when I was about to come to the port, I suddenly heard an earth-shattering shout from the street in front of me, and I faintly heard that it was 'non-Qi people' and 'Qi people' who were scolding each other! Fusu was a little stunned and asked Wuxin: "Why is there such a chaotic parade in Jimo besides Linzi?"

Wuxin smiled: "The folk style of Jimo is more open than Linzi, so although the city is smaller, it is also a good place for these Confucian scholars who have eaten enough and have nothing to do!"

Fusu shook his head: "Confucianism, the source of chaos, garbage!"

Wuxin smiled: "It seems that the fight is lively again, in order to avoid trouble, Childe, how about we take a detour?"

Fusu thought for a while and said, "Qin Hu!" The subordinates are here!"

"You take the headquarters to the port first, contact the ships heading south, and I will be there later, Wuxin and Mr. Fan!" Whoa!" Sohu agreed, beckoned, and led the 'Wolf Fang' warriors to the port first.

Wuxin was stunned and said in a low voice, "Where is Childe going?" Fusu smiled: "Go and see the fun, I want to see how Jimo's guards are better than Linzi!"

Wuxin and the others were stunned, a little inexplicable, this is what is there to look at! looked at each other suspiciously, and saw that Fusu had already moved forward, and more than ten people had to catch up!

Came to an alley, looking from a distance, the two gangs of Confucian students on the street in front of them are in full swing, although the number of 'non-Qi people' Confucian students is small, but they are proficient in swordsmanship, and there are many people, but it is a rabble of 'Qi people' who fought for a while, blood flew in the air, sticks danced wildly, and there was a grand occasion when the modern underworld was beaten!

Fusu couldn't help but be a little strange: "Why is this scene so familiar, could it be that the tradition of group beating in the modern underworld is passed down by these Confucian students!" If that's the case, it's funny, who would have thought that the ancestors of the modern underworld would be such a group of 'civilized people'!"

Fusu frowned and asked Wuxin: "It's so messy, there's no place to look!" Wuxin smiled and said, "Yes, Childe, please come with me!" The merchants of Qi have long been accustomed to the riots of these Confucian students, and they all have back doors, usually these back doors are not opened, and once they make trouble, they close the front door and only open the back door to welcome customers!"

Fusu couldn't help but laugh, and said in his heart: "The adaptability of the Chinese is really very terrifying, this may be called 'crisis mind', or 'wartime economy'."

Sure enough, Wuxin took everyone around a few corners, and sure enough, some of the big taverns on the street opened the back doors, and Xiao Er was courteously greeting the guests at the door.

Fusu and the others urged the horse to meet him, and came to the side of the largest tavern, and the little er of the tavern saw a group of brightly dressed high-rollers, and hurriedly smiled: "Yo, a few guest officers, where are you eating?"

Fusu nodded and said, "There are no window seats on the second floor, I want three!" Xiang Wuxin snorted! Unintentionally, he took out a small piece of gold and stuffed it into the little second-hand, Xiao Er's eyes narrowed very small, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes!" The people in front of them were full of food and fighting, which made the tavern door crowded, and there were vacant seats upstairs, all guest officers, please!"

Wuxin waited for the tavern, and sure enough, there was not even a single person, so he came to the window and sat down in front of a few desks, and ordered: "I heard that Jimo is a harbor. There are so many kinds of seafood that you need! This son is from Zhao Kingdom, he has never eaten this thing, and there are good dishes, just come up!"

"Okay!" Xiao Er smiled all over his face and ran quickly towards the kitchen.

After a while, countless seafood prices were presented, in fact, the same as modern times, nothing more than some sea cucumbers, abalone, fresh shellfish, fresh fish, fresh shrimp, etc., but the taste is very pure, fresh and tender, compared to modern seafood that has suffered a lot of pollution! Fusu, who eats directly, can't help but nod secretly, secretly sighing at the weight of modern pollution!

Fan Tianshi, Xiao He, Cao Shen have lived in the mainland for a long time, and they have never eaten seafood, they can't help but eat with relish, work hard, and have no intention of waiting for others to be in Linzi for many years, close to Jimo, but they have always been bitter, and they are rarely lucky enough to chew seafood. Only Fusu chatted better than nothing, eating and watching, looking at the chaotic scene downstairs!

On the street, the battle was still very fierce, although the wounded who had fallen on the ground were bleeding all over the ground, but the Confucian students who could still stand still fought to the death!

Fusu shook it and sighed: "Boiled beans burn bean basket, beans cry in the kettle!" This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry the roots! These Qi people, the current enemy, do not think about the outside world, but are ruthless to their own people, they are really hopeless!"

Wuxin laughed in a low voice: "Don't worry, these people are actually a little measured in fighting, that is, try not to kill people, so, Childe sees that they are fighting in full swing, in fact, even if they are knocked to the ground, except for a few unlucky ghosts every time, there are many injured people, but very few people die!"

"Oh!" Fusu nodded, the more he looked, the more he saw that these Confucian scholars were like the ancestors of the underworld, because the modern underworld fights are not like this, just knock them down, and under normal circumstances, they don't dare to kill people casually, after all, there is still a royal law in this society: killing people is worth their lives!

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves on both sides of the street, obviously a large number of horse teams were coming, Fusu smiled secretly: "Qi soldiers are only here now, this reaction is really slow enough!" It is estimated that the soldiers with Linzi are also all the way, and they only know how to gamble all day long, and in case of emergency, they can't even get together for a while!"

Sure enough, as the sound of hooves approached, groups of Qi soldiers and horses and charioteers came from all directions, all of whom had bright armor and flying flags, but the weapons in their hands were the same as Linzi, they were still backward bronze weapons! I really don't know why Qi has a very advanced iron-smelting industry, so why don't Qi soldiers be equipped with more advanced iron weapons!

A cold glint flashed in Fusu's eyes, and he said in his heart: "There is, the plan to destroy Qi is here!" God help me!"

I saw these soldiers shouting and surrounding from all directions, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves made the earth tremble!

The event seems to have reached its most important part!

For a while, the upstairs drinkers had no intention of eating anymore, and they all flocked to the window, and looked down from the side of the corridor, ready to see the show.

Seeing these Qi soldiers rushing to the front of these rioting Confucian scholars, without saying a word, holding a shield in one hand and a thick stick in the other hand to split their heads and cover their faces, the Qi soldiers are regular troops after all, plus they are wearing heavy armor and shields to protect them, and they are like wolves and tigers on horses, and they are beaten until the Confucian students are bleeding from their heads and running with their heads in their hands.

At the beginning, the Confucian scholars also had the courage to resist for a while, but after hundreds of people were knocked down by the Qi soldiers in an instant, seeing that the situation was not good, they suddenly dispersed at four o'clock, and those who fled into the alleys, and countless people who crossed the house and crossed the house, leaving only hundreds of slow legs or slow heads surrounded by the Qi soldiers!

Fusu thought that these Qi soldiers would use barbed wire to make a cage like Linzi to capture these Confucian students alive one by one, but who knew that with the order of a Qi general, the Qi soldiers rushed up, and the head and face of the stick were beaten violently at the Confucian students in the circle, and all these Confucian students were knocked to the ground in an instant.

For a time, there was a river of blood on the street, countless wounded people lying down, and huge moans filled the air over the street.

At this time, I heard the leading generals shouting: "Brothers, close the team, and go to have fun again!" Oh——!" The soldiers cheered, and dispersed as quickly as the wind when they came!

As soon as the drinkers saw that there was no more excitement, they returned to their original positions and continued to drink! In the conversation, he continued to use the brawl between the two parties as a laughing stock, and there was laughter in the restaurant for a while!

Fusu was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and beckoned Xiao Er, who was doing nothing on the side, and asked, "What, your chief of Jimo beat these Confucian students, and forget it, don't you still have to arrest some of them in Linzi?"

Xiao Er said with a smile: "Childe doesn't know, this chief of our Jimo, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, sneaking chickens and fighting dogs, if it weren't for the fear that these Confucian students would be too fierce and difficult to clean up, he wouldn't want to care about this idle matter!" You said that if these Confucian scholars were arrested, bandaged one by one, interrogated, and then arranged for their families to lead the people, how troublesome would it be, and our chief would not do it! After beating these Confucian students and controlling the situation, he thinks he has done a good job!"

Fusu couldn't help but be a little stunned: "Is there anyone else in the world who is such an official?" Qi is really a 'talent'!" I couldn't help asking, "Is your Jimo chief called Qi Zhun?"

Xiao Er nodded and said in a low voice, "That's right!" I heard that this chief has nothing to do, except for eating, drinking, and having fun, walking chickens and fighting dogs, he is the best at looting people's wealth and flattering horses! He can be the city guard of this Jimo City, fat and oily, not because he hugged the thick legs of the prime minister, patted the horse and flattered and opened the way with a lot of money! Therefore, the people look down on him, and call him 'Qi Peeling' and 'Sycophant Qi' behind his back, Childe, I see that you are not what Qi people told you, you can't talk nonsense!"

Fusu smiled, signaled to Wuxin, unintentionally understood, and gave Xiao Er a small piece of gold, Xiao Er was overjoyed, and thanked him again and again, Fu Su waved his hand and said, "You go, I will call you if there is something?" Xiao Er nodded and went away.

Wuxin whispered: "Why does Childe care so much about Jimo's guards?" Fu Su smiled: "You don't know, this Qi Zhun is still my relative?" Hiccup-"A few people were stunned when they heard this, and they almost choked to death by the seafood in their mouths, and they couldn't help but quickly drink a few sips of wine before they could eat well!

Innocent: "Relatives? No, when did I hear Gongzi say that there are relatives in the Qi Kingdom?" Everyone also looked at Fusu with a misty face!

Fusu smiled: "You don't know anything, Qi Zhun is Qi Hong's distant cousin, Qi Hong is the lady I want to pass through, Qi Zhun is not my relative!"

"Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized, and said in their hearts: "Originally, this was the case, it seems that this guy is really lucky, and he is related to Gongzi, at least after the death of Qi Guo, he will not be unlucky, maybe he can be reused!"

Xiao He listened to it on the side, and said with a smile: "Childe cares about this person, he won't just get some relatives, right?" Fu Su stroked his palms and smiled: "Xiao He Ye, who knows me!" Then he said in a low voice: "The key to destroying Qi is in this person!"

Everyone was at a loss for a while, and Fan Tianshi didn't understand, and said in a low voice: "What do you mean by what Gongzi said?" Fusu smiled: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, you should understand it in the future." Okay, hurry up and eat and head to the port!" Everyone had no choice but to eat suspiciously.

Everyone was in a very good mood, and after eating the meal for nearly an hour, it was over, and after paying the wine bill, everyone prepared their horses and rushed to the port!

********

Soon, the people of Fusu rushed to the vicinity of the port, looking from a distance, the port was crowded with people, countless sailors and fishermen in various strange costumes shuttled back and forth near the port, carrying baskets and baskets of fresh seafood are being loaded one after another, ready to be shipped, far away, Fusu smelled a strong fishy smell, a little pungent, a little fishy!

More than ten people gradually walked forward, and gradually entered the port, along the way along the way to sell more and more fishermen of fresh seafood, that countless lively, strange treasures in the sea can not help but let Fusu greatly open his eyes, some can only be seen in modern textbooks can only see seafood in the fish market here is everywhere, very large road goods, which can not help but make Fusu very envious of the ancients, at least one is far better than modern, that is, the natural environment is a hundred times better than modern!

Smelling the pungent fish, the people of Fusu looked at it while walking, although the fishermen on the side of the road saw that the people of Fusu were dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, and they looked like rich people, but at a glance, they knew that it was a rich son passing by, so they didn't care about Fusu at all, and only cared about selling to the pedestrians around.

Fusu watched it interestingly, but he was also full of interest, and turned around twice, and gradually came to the edge of the dock.

Everyone looked up into the distance, looking for the traces of Qin Hu and the others, and after a few glances, they saw several "wolf teeth" warriors standing on a dock on the right side and waving their hands to this side and shouting: "Childe, here!"

Fusu and the others hurriedly rushed over, and the "wolf tooth" warriors followed, Qin Hu also greeted him when he heard the news, and Fusu asked, "How is it, is the ship ready?" Qin Hu nodded respectfully and said, "It's all ready!" Due to the large number of people, I rented three large sea boats and paid the deposit, by the way, Childe, where is the port we are going to arrive?"

Fu Su said with a smile: "Chu Guohuai River estuary, let's go back to Xianyang along the Huai River from there!" Whoa!"

It's time to go home, and everyone can't help but be happy!

Suddenly, Fusu thought about it and said with a smile: "It's about a week to the sea, are you ready for the food on the way?" Taihu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, I have already sent someone to the shore to purchase grain, and I will return immediately, and I will buy a lot of fresh vegetables, and a lot of fresh fish and shrimp have been bought and stored in the water tank in the bilge!"

Fusu nodded, and said in his heart: "Qin Hu is becoming more and more careful now, and he has gradually taken off his recklessness, and he will also be a person who can be reused in the future!"

Since they had to wait for the 'wolf'tooth' samurai to buy food and vegetables, everyone was not in a hurry to get on the boat, but only let the horses board the ship first, and everyone stood on the pier and chatted looking at the lively harbor!

After a while, as soon as the sun was in the west of the sky, more than a dozen 'wolf tooth' warriors brought dozens of porters to deliver a large amount of grain and vegetables.

For a while, the dock behind Fusu was very lively, and dozens of porters were shuddering and shuddering back and forth.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd of people who were busy walking in front of him, and he heard a burst of shouting, and Fusu was strange, and he saw two little beggars, a man and a woman, rushing towards this side, and a few big men behind him were roaring loudly and following closely.

Fusu was stunned for a moment, and at a glance, he knew that these two little beggars were in a panic, and this side of the dock was a dead end! Seeing that these two little beggars saw Fusu and the others, their eyes suddenly lit up, and the older boy dragged the young girl to rush here, knelt down beside Fusu with a "plop", and hurriedly kowtowed: "Childe, you can do well, save us!"

Fusu secretly said in his heart: "This boy is still a little blind, and he can see that we are not ordinary people, forget it, poor children, let's save them once!" Smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, stand behind us!"

Of course, there are some bitter fishermen here at the wharf, only Fusu and his party are different in terms of clothing and temperament, and the difference can be seen from a distance!

The male beggar was overjoyed, kowtowed, and dragged the little girl to hide behind Fusu and the others.

At this time, several big men chased after him. Seeing that Fusu actually shielded these two little beggars, he couldn't help but be furious, and a big man in the lead shouted: "Well, who are you, hurry up and hand over the two little beggars behind you, otherwise Uncle Hugh will not be polite!" A few big men are not stupid, seeing that the people of Fusu are all magnificent, even the women have swords, and they don't dare to offend indiscriminately for a while!

Fusu smiled kindly and said: "This brother, how did the two of them offend you, let me settle it, child, don't worry too much!"

The big man said angrily: "They two little beggars, they dare to steal my money bag, it's really impatient, you just hand it over, otherwise, hmph, do you know who I am." This Jimo Pier who doesn't know me Huwei!"

Wuxin whispered: "He is a tyrant of Jimo Wharf, and he has some power in the port!" Fusu didn't want to get into trouble, so he said with a smile: "In this way, I'll let them hand over their wallets, and then I will give ten taels of gold as compensation, so how about asking Huwei Daxia to let them go?"

When Hu Wei heard this, his eyes lit up, and he estimated the strength of both sides, and felt that it was better to accept it when he saw it, so he said with a stupid look: "Okay, just give the son face!"

Fusu turned his head, looked at the two little beggars who were trembling with fright, smiled lovingly, and stretched out his hand, the little boy understood, and hurriedly handed over a money bag.

Fusu handed the money bag to Wuxin, and Wuxin took out ten taels of gold from his arms and sent them to Huwei's hands together, Huwei looked at it with satisfaction, and glared at the two little beggars viciously, and spit on the ground with a "bah", shouting: "Go!" A few big men walked away!

Fusu breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at the two little beggars, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's okay!" Heartless, you give them some loose coins and let them go!" Yes, Childe!", nodded unintentionally, and was about to pay for it, when he suddenly saw the male beggar pull the female beggar steeply, and fell to the ground with a "plop".

"Childe, you are kind and take us in, we fled from Surabaya County and came here, hungry and helpless, and we have no intention of offending this Jimo tyrant, if Childe raises his feet and leaves, the bully will not let us go!" The male beggar fell to his knees and kowtowed.

Fusu said with some pity: "What, what about your parents?" The male beggar said sadly: "In recent years, my hometown has suffered a great drought, people can't survive, I heard that Qi is still rich, my father and mother took us to Qi to escape the famine, all the way to Qi to ask for food, more than a month ago, my father and mother were sick and died, only my sister and I were left wandering around, son, you take us in, as long as we give food to eat, we can do anything!"

Fusu frowned, feeling that it was not appropriate, everyone thought that Fusu was the first to look forward, and naturally they didn't dare to interject casually, you must know that in this year, there are too many beggars, how can they take care of them all!

The little boy was very clever, and when he saw Fusu's hesitant face, he hurriedly "touched" and kowtowed: "Childe is okay, the villain Yingbu has kowtowed to you, Yingniang, kowtow to Childe." I beg my son to take us in!" The little girl was also very well-behaved and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Yingbu!" Fusu was stunned suddenly: "Are you Yingbu?" Are you from Lu'an County, Surabaya County?"

Yingbu nodded in amazement and said, "Yes, childe, the villain is Yingbu, this is the villain's sister Yingniang!"

Fusu was in a good mood for a while, and said in his heart: "His grandmother's, God wants to take care of me, I can't stop luck when it comes, you see, a future general will automatically send it to the door!" Squinted and smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, get up, Yingbu, you can follow me in the future!"

Yingbu was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, Childe!" happily pulled his sister up.

They've found a big tree this time!

Fusu waited for Huofeng: "Huofeng, you take them on the boat and take a good bath, Su Xue, you go and buy some clean clothes for these people, hurry up, you will leave the boat soon!" Yes, Childe!"

Immediately, everyone began to board the boat, and Huofeng and Qingluan brought two little mud monkeys to take a bath!

It didn't take long for Su Xue to come back, the vicinity of the dock was very prosperous, and the clothes were spread, but most of them were poor people's clothes, and after a while, when Huo Feng brought Yingbu and Yingniang out cleanly, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Yingbu is about ten years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the high bridge of the nose looks a little restrained and arrogant, but due to long-term malnutrition, his body looks very thin!

Yingniang was about seven or eight years old, with black hair and big eyes on her slightly vegetable-colored face. It's very cute.,At this time, I'm quietly hiding behind my brother and looking at Fusu timidly.。

Fusu nodded, and smiled kindly: "Don't be afraid, follow me in the future, and don't want you to repay me, just call me son!"

Yingbu "plopped" and knelt down again, kowtowed to Fusu three times heavily, and his little face was full of perseverance: "Gongzi is very kind, Yingbu is toothless and unforgettable, but it will be useful in the future, and he will die in retribution!"

Fusu listened to Yingbu's speech quite organized, and said with some surprise: "Yingbu, have you ever read?" Yingbu bowed his head respectfully and said, "Well, I have studied for two years, and I learned from an old man next door!"

Fu Su smiled: "Very good, when you get home, I will help you hire a few good teachers to teach you knowledge and martial arts, you must be a great person in the future!" Yingbu was stunned when he heard this, only to feel that happiness came too quickly and felt that it was not real, and he felt like he was in a cloud for a while!

Fusu touched Yingbu and Yingniang's heads lovingly, and said with a smile: "Go, go play, if you're hungry, go find Sister Huofeng and them!" Yingbu nodded heavily, and tears flowed out in an instant.

Fusu turned around and shouted: "Order, sail!"

"Sail the ——!" With a long trumpet, the three large sea ships quickly raised their sails and sailed southeast with the help of the sea breeze and pulp!
