Chapter Sixty-Nine: Tell the Story, Be Cautious at Night

"Zhengding" wants to make a fortune, "Yu Ding" wants to make a living, "Zhengding" and "Yu Ding" are more and more, one side wants to make a bigger fortune, the other side wants to protect their own financial resources and make a living, and then there are only a few ways to make money on the ground of Datong, and the people on the ground of Datong are all martial artists, the contradictions are becoming more and more intense, and there are more and more fights.

Qin Xiucai and Zhu Da spoke very carefully, and Zhu Da not only listened unilaterally, but also asked questions from time to time, and even discussed with Qin Chuan.

Qin Qin, who was on his back, had already fallen asleep, and the two guard knights and Zhou Qingyun were not interested in this, and they followed slowly after a distance, and the two knights even had time to let Zhou Qingyun try to shoot an arrow.

Zhou Qingyun didn't have stage fright, Zhang Gong and arrow hit the designated target more than 20 steps away, which made the two people applaud, these two originally had a joke to tease the child, so they set a nearby target, but they didn't think about it but shot steadily, and the two were surprised and admired.

The commotion behind him woke up Qin Qin, and also made Zhu Da and Qin Xiucai look back, before leaving, Zhou Qingyun wanted to leave the bow and arrow to Xiang Bo, but was reprimanded by Xiang Bo, saying that after practicing for a few years, wouldn't it be wasted if the bow and arrow were not at hand, but Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both knew that if Xiang Bo had a set of bows and arrows at hand, whether it was hunting to improve his life or self-defense, the situation was very different.

However, on the way out of Zhu's house today, Zhu Da and Qin Xiucai mentioned this matter, a good bow is a big deal for Xiang Bo, and it is simple for Qin Xiucai's side, just say hello to someone and send it over.

“...... You will know about the Shengping Salt Stack sooner or later, and I will tell you slowly in the future, what I said just now and what you think is actually simpler, there are a lot of internal stories about the various battles in Datong Zuowei, and it is not only Zhengding and Yu Ding......"

Of course, he knows this Zhu Da, but he has gained a lot from the conversation just now, and he can have a clearer understanding and more understanding, which is what he needs most now.

Six people walked slowly and leisurely, tired of walking on the horse and riding for a while, encountered the village as much as possible to avoid, and when they arrived at the official road, the sun was already in the western sky, there were not many pedestrians on the official road, most of them were in a hurry, knowing that at this time, the three horses and six people began to accelerate and run.

Today, from the beginning of getting up to the present, I am either busy or chatting, and at this time, I put my arm around the waist of the knight in front of me, but I have the opportunity to think quietly.

From yesterday to now, Zhu Da and the people around him first felt that Qin Xiucai valued him, so he raised the specifications in all aspects, as formal and grand as possible, and was valued by others, or by people whose status was much higher than his own, which of course felt very good, but for Zhu Da, who was equivalent to an adult, he felt that Qin Xiucai's practices were frivolous, although Zhu Da and the people around him had gained face and lining, from a higher level, Xiucai Qin Chuan was too much like a style on the stage.

Presumably, it seems that a scholar has read too many legendary books, and then wants to copy them in reality, but the effect in the story is fictional, and real life will only make the person concerned feel false, and the bystanders will feel that it is a joke.

The benefits are good, and if you want to bind yourself to such an idealized story-based person in the future, whether it is a blessing or a curse, people are not sure, and you have to consider it solemnly.

However, Qin Xiucai has proved himself so far, this young man who is less than thirty is all shrewd, without a trace of casualness, the reason why he took the initiative to come to Baibao Village to accept Zhu Da as a godfather is because the floating corpse that was picked up proves Zhu Da's rhetoric, this young man is indeed outstanding and worth betting.

And this solemn anticlimactic and snake-tailed kissing ceremony is a cover for the attack on the Majiadian Inn, relying on the force of this gathered salt stack, so that the other party will not have doubts and precautions, this can achieve the best effect of the raid, and this must be the case.

But this kind of calculation does not mean that Qin Xiucai is worth relying on, he is too shrewd and cold-blooded, there is no affection in it at all, the two sides have been together for less than twenty hours now, to put it bluntly, it is still the extent of meeting in Pingshui, what can be seen in front of him can be said to be used, and what happens in the future will be seen.

Zhu Da thought about it like this, and in the end he just reminded himself not to be careless, he must be cautious, he was also smiling bitterly in his heart, after those years of experience and memory, it is impossible to live too easily, if he is really a heartless teenager, it is actually not bad, when encountering such a situation, he will not think about it at all, only pure happiness.

It's a little late, there are fewer and fewer people on the official road, the three horses have been trotting non-stop, Qin Xiucai's horse is protected by two knights, and he has already explained to Zhu Da and them in advance, if there is really any surprise attack, the two teenagers don't care about the others, get off the horse first and hide or run away, don't mix with the battle, and don't stay.

At this time of the season, the cold in the wind was already quite heavy, and the knight on horseback was running in the wind, which was even more cold, but Qin Xiucai did not relax in the slightest.

Zhu Da on the side saw all this in his eyes, Xiucai Qin Chuan is a scholar, looking thin, but without the slightest literati popularity, his riding skills are quite good, according to Zhu Da's speculation, although Qin Xiucai behaves like a square scholar, but he should know some martial arts, not a powerless character.

Several times with the salt stack's horse guards, Zhu Da has a certain understanding of riding horses, according to them, except for the critical moments on the battlefield and the delivery of military newspapers and other occasions, usually try not to ride on the horse for a long time, as much as possible to rest the horse, otherwise it is likely to tire the horse and become sick, or even lose the horse's front hooves halfway.

When talking about this matter, there is also a sigh, the Ming side is short of horses, there are horses to make full use of, the Mongolian tribes on the grassland is another kind, they have two or three horses, just change horses halfway through the run, so as to ensure the speed of travel, and not to make the mount too tired.

But these three horses ran without any meaning of rest, and they didn't stop after two roadside inns with lanterns in a row, and the horses were already faintly sweating, and now each horse was carrying two people, Qin Xiucai's daughter was negligible, no matter how thin Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were, they couldn't say that it was light, could it be that it was for safety and not to leak the news, and they didn't care about the horses, this mount was not cheap.

After running for a moment or so, Zhu Da's conclusion was overturned, he saw an inn in front of him, and was thinking that it would pass by like the previous ones, but he saw that the knight he was riding shouted loudly, and he actually slowed down like this, looking like he was going to stop and rest, but when he turned sideways on the horse, the inn in front of him was dilapidated and old, the lights were dim, and there were a few people squatting in front of the door, which didn't look very authentic.

The three of them stopped at a distance of more than twenty steps from the inn, Qin Xiucai and Zhou Qingyun did not get off the horse, the knight of Zhu Da's horse dismounted and ran over quickly, Qin Xiucai covered his face at this time, only showing his eyes, this is the standard dress of a knight in cold weather, and the "swaddling" behind him is also covered with a cloth.

It didn't take long for the people in front of the inn to be shouted back, and after a while, someone came with a bucket and a big basket coming this way, the bucket was filled with water, and there were also horse feed, and the big basket was hay and the like, and after carrying it, those people hurriedly turned back, and did not dare to look more.

Waiting for everyone over there to go back to the inn, this side began to dismount and feed the horse to let the mount rest, the inn only provided the mount's water, the six of them just drank some water from the gourd and the water bladder, it was already cold, and the entrance was not very comfortable, Qin Xiucai gave Qin Qin a piece of snack, and when he wanted to give it to Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, neither of them wanted it, first, the hunger could be endured, and second, in this tense atmosphere, they had no appetite.

After a short rest here, the three of them got on their horses and moved forward, there was a person guarding in front of the inn, and the door of the inn was also closed at this time.

This should be the stronghold or alliance of Shengping Salt Stack, where you can rest assured that you can requisition or ask for supplies, and you can rest at ease, as for those who don't stay, it is estimated that you can't rest assured.

"We are six people and three riders, if we go to a wild shop that is not at ease, it is too easy to be regarded as a fat sheep, and we dare to do it when we call a dozen men, and there are also people who use medicine in the water, I don't understand these ways originally, but I am taught by a guy under Brother Xu." Qin Xiucai explained with a smile that at this time, the horses that had just eaten and drunk water could not run too fast, and they spoke more calmly, so as not to be full of wind.

When Zhu Da and Qin Xiucai were talking, the eyes of the two guard knights were very curious, but Zhu Da couldn't see it, but the reason for the curiosity Zhu Da and they could guess it was nothing more than that the conversation between the two was not like a stepfather and a righteous son at all, but like an equal relationship.

It's okay for the biological father and son to be casual behind closed doors, this righteous father and righteous son should be solemn and polite to each other, not to mention that this Qin Xiucai is much stronger than the poor boy in Baibao Village in terms of status and net worth, even if this calm-talking young man does something to replace the favor, but in this kind of high climbing situation, he should also be respectful, but this one does not have the slightest awareness of this, so he is not afraid that this rare opportunity to turn over will fly again?

However, these two knights also admired this young man, up and down the Shengping Salt Stack, there were many people who could talk to Qin Xiucai, and Mr. Qin was also kind and polite, but there were not many people who might talk to him, he couldn't keep up with Mr. Qin's train of thought, he couldn't understand it, or he said it too simply, Qin Xiucai could understand it immediately.

And this young man can talk and communicate calmly, and the words he said and asked sounded similar to what Qin Xiucai said, from this point of view, this young man Zhu Da has the ability to talk to Mr. Qin's peers.

After getting dark, with the help of the still bright moonlight, jogging on the road for more than an hour, I could see the lights flashing in front, this place Zhu Da has an impression, but it is the ferry crossing that he passed a few days ago.

"Just spend the night here." Qin Xiucai spoke.
