Chapter 077: Looking for Pound
Chen Qun and his entourage of nine people were all wearing Hu clothes, and they searched for half a month in Fufeng County but did not find Pang De's whereabouts, which made Chen Qun really have a hard time with Pang De in his heart, and decided to find Pang De.
The reason why Chen Qun was not in a hurry to go back was because he would be fine even if he returned to the mountain city now, because Zhu Jun would tell him the news from Luoyang at any time, so he was not in a hurry.
Chen Qun learned that Zhang Yan had been promoted to Tai Lieutenant ten days ago and became one of the three princes of the dynasty, which made Chen Qun and his party very excited, thinking that they could find another opportunity to take down the Ten Standing Servants. For the five million palace repair money that Zhang Yan needed to be promoted to Taiwei, Chen Qun directly asked Zhu Jun to send someone to the mountain city to get it.
When Zhu Jun's men came to Shaomu Mountain City, the profits of each county in April had been sent back, and Xu Shu thought carefully after reporting it, so he handed over 500 gold to the people sent by Zhu Jun. Because Zhu Jun said that he was borrowing, and Xu Shu knew very well that Chen Qun and Zhu Jun and others were on good terms, so he didn't refuse.
After nothing happened in Luoyang, Chen Qun continued to look for news of Pang De, but he was no longer limited to Fufeng County, but looked for Guangwei County and Tianshui County, which were adjacent to Fufeng County.
The reason why Chen Qun went to Fufeng County to find Pang De was because in Chen Qun's memory in his last life, Pang De was Ma Teng's subordinate, and Ma Teng was undoubtedly a Fufeng person, so he went to Fufeng.
Although Chen Qun did not find Pang De in Fufeng, he found the Ma family and saw Ma Chao from afar, but now Ma Chao is only ten years old and is still a little child, Chen Qun directly gave up wooing Ma Chao. It's just that he really saw the light kung fu of the Fufeng Ma family, which is really powerful, and even Huang Zhong praised the Ma family's light kung fu.
Chen Qun and his entourage came to the Chen Ji Restaurant in Linwei City in Guangwei County, and after resting for two days, they set out on the road to find Pang De again. It's a pity that another ten days have passed, and Chen Qun and his entourage have searched all over Guangwei County, but still haven't found Pang De.
After Chen Qun and his entourage came to Ji County, the county capital of Tianshui County, it was already the beginning of June, Chen Qun thought that Zhao Yun had probably returned to the mountain city, so he smiled and said to Huang Zhong: "Master, let's look for it in this Tianshui County again, if we still can't find the news of Pang De, then we will go back and don't look for it anymore." ”
Huang Zhong smiled when he heard this: "You have finally decided?" It's not easy! As a teacher, I thought that you would not give up if you didn't look for the whole Liangzhou! As a teacher, I really admire your perseverance, and I am also curious about what kind of person that Pound is, who can make you so persistent. ”
Chen Qun smiled slightly when he heard this, did not speak, but went to rest with Huang Zhong and his party after eating a full meal at Chen Ji Restaurant in Ji County. This Ji County is the county seat of Tianshui County.
Chen Qun was lying on the bed alone, thinking that Pang De in history first defected to Ma Teng, and after Ma Teng's death, he followed Ma Chao, but later separated from Ma Chao and surrendered to Cao Cao, but he was never really accepted by Cao Cao's camp, and later died with Guan Yu in the Jingzhou War.
Chen Qun thought that although Pang De in history was a peerless martial artist, even his second brother Guan Yu admired him, but because he was not accepted by Cao Ying's generals because of repeated changes of ownership, he never became a general in command of the army, and has always been a deputy general, Chen Qun wanted to change Pang De's original life trajectory, and then resolve the grievances between the Pang family and the Guan family.
In Chen Qun's heart, he can attract as many of these historical generals as he can now, anyway, he can't let them be his future opponents in vain, especially those who Chen Qun thinks he has a good chance of succeeding.
The reason why Chen Qun decided this way was because he was already faintly disappointed in the Spirit Emperor in his heart! So he's preparing for both things. In case Emperor Ling can't help him up, and the troubled times really come, then he won't be in a panic temporarily.
Pang De is obviously a loyal minister, Chen Qun believes that as long as he has a preconceived idea and tries to get Pang De to follow him, then he will succeed, so Chen Qun does not hesitate to spend more than a month looking for Pang De on the land of Liangzhou, and at the same time, Chen Qun also has the psychology of being familiar with the terrain of Liangzhou, after all, Zhuge Liang in history is very optimistic about the Yongliang territory. And Yongliang is indeed a springboard for Shu Han to attack the Central Plains.
After dawn the next day, Chen Qun said to Huang Zhong after finishing his martial arts practice: "Master, I heard from the brothers here that there are many handsome horses in the horse market in Ji County, and you have not had a good mount, so we might as well go to the horse market to have a look, and if there are good horses, we will buy them." ”
Huang Zhong thought for a while and nodded, "Okay!" It's not easy to come this far, and it's not bad if you can buy a few good horses to go back, but it's not in vain. ”
Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "Okay, then let's go over after breakfast." ”
After breakfast, Chen Qun and his entourage, under the leadership of a guard in the restaurant, together with Huang Zhong, took seven female guards to Chengma City, Ji County, to look for horses.
After Chen Qun and his entourage of ten people came to the horse market, they saw that there were thousands of horses being sold here, and they couldn't help but be shocked by the scale of the horse market in Ji County.
Chen Qun and his entourage wandered around for a morning, only half of the horse market, and at the same time bought a sweaty BMW under Huang Zhong's selection. For the newly arrived sweaty BMW, Chen Qunke likes it very much.
This is a pure silver-white sweaty horse, handsome and martial, beautiful body, if it weren't for Huang Zhong falling in love with this horse at a glance, Chen Qun would not have found it at all, because there are a lot of white horses in the horse market, and this silver-white sweat and blood white horse is still mixed in a group of white horses, so people with bad eyesight will not find it.
After Chen Qun spent hardware to buy this sweaty BMW, his heart was very happy, and after he tried to ride it twice, he directly presented the sweaty BMW to Huang Zhong: "Master, this sweaty BMW will be yours in the future." ”
After Chen Qun finished speaking, he put the horse leash in Huang Zhong's hand, Huang Zhong held the horse leash and looked at Chen Qun with his eyebrows: "Changwen, how can this be made?" You don't have a good mount either. ”
Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "Master, let's take a look again, you can help the apprentice choose a good horse, maybe there is a second bloody horse here, let's continue to search." ”
After Chen Qun finished speaking, he walked forward, and Huang Zhong no longer refused when he saw this, but hurriedly led the horse to follow, and behind him, Hua Da and other seven female guards stood on both sides of the sweaty BMW. The restaurant guard hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.
Chen Qun and his entourage led the sweaty BMW they bought, and many horse dealers in the horse market recognized it as a good BMW, so everyone thought that Chen Qun and his entourage were big financiers, but wherever Chen Qun passed by, the horse dealers on both sides pointed to the horses they thought were the best to introduce to Chen Qun.
Because Chen Qun didn't understand horses, he handed them all over to Huang Zhong to identify, but Huang Zhong shook his head one after another.
"Little brother, I also have ten good horses here, if you want to buy good horses, why don't you come and see me." A young man in his twenties stood in the distance and shouted lazily to Chen Qun.
When Chen Qun heard this, he looked over and found that the young man was dignified, just a little dark, according to the standards of later generations, this young man was quite handsome, and he also had a healthy wheat color, Chen Qun concluded at a glance that this young man was a master, and he couldn't help but be curious.
Chen Qun came to the young man's stall and saw that the young man's stall was very simple, except for more than ten horses tied to more than ten horse stakes, there was only one young man, unlike other horse stalls, at least three or five people watched the stall.
Chen Qun looked at the more than ten horses on the young horse stall and smiled: "This eldest brother, the younger brother doesn't know horses, how about you recommend a good horse to the younger brother?" ”
The young man smiled when he heard this: "I know you don't understand horses, but this big brother behind you does!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Qun stared at the young man's eyes: "I said, how do you know that I don't understand horses?" ”
The young man smiled slightly: "Because you always look at the fat and strong ones when you look at the horses, but this big brother looks at the four hooves and legs of the horses, and then the streamlines of the horses, which are much more professional than you." ”
Chen Qun blinked when he heard this, pointed at the young man with his right index finger and laughed: "Hahaha......, but brother, you're right, I don't know my brother's name?" The younger brother feels that he and his brother are familiar at first sight, so he intends to get to know his brother, Chen Qun, the shopkeeper of Xia Chen Ji Restaurant, is 17 years old this year. ”
When the young man heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be the younger brother of Changwen, who was under Pang De, and the word was clear, and he was nineteen years old. ”
"Huh?" Huang Zhong looked at the young man in astonishment when he heard this.
Hearing this, the young man looked at Huang Zhong and smiled, "Do you know me, big brother?" Or have you heard of me? ”
Huang Zhong looked at the young man and said in a deep voice: "Not bad! I've heard of your name, but you look better, and since you're also a man who knows horses, how can you sell that black-billed yellow horse? ”
Hearing this, Pang De glanced at the thin black-mouthed yellow horse behind him, and then turned to Huang Zhong and smiled: "I'm sorry for this big brother, that horse is ridden by myself, so it won't be sold, big brother doesn't see me leashing it alone?" All but this one was sold. ”
Huang Zhong shook his head slightly when he heard this: "As you just said, they just look handsome, but they can't run, but these more than ten horses you have here are obviously much better than the horses in other people's hands." However, it still doesn't meet my criteria for buying a horse. ”
Pound said with a smile: "Actually, if these horses of mine are given to seven of their beauties to ride, it is indeed a good choice. ”
Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "Brother Pound, you are really humorous, but my seven sisters have mounts, but today I finally have a fate with Brother Pound, even if you buy all the good horses in your hands, it will be good." ”
Pound De only felt the corners of his eyes twitch when he heard this, and he immediately looked at Chen Qun with a smile: "Shopkeeper Chen, if you can really buy all these horses, I will treat you to a good meal!" ”
Chen Qun looked at Pang De and nodded: "Brother Pang, little brother will tell you directly!" My brother bought your horse because he really wanted to have a good relationship with you. I don't know who else is in Brother Pang's family? ”
Hearing this, Pang De frowned and looked at Chen Qun: "What does Shopkeeper Chen mean?" ”
Chen Qun looked at the vigilant Pang De and smiled slightly: "Didn't I say it, I want to have a good relationship with Brother Pang, and there is no other malice." ”
Pound said with a smile: "I see, there is no one else in the next family, and I have been living in my cousin Pang Rou's house. ”
Chen Qun was shocked when he heard this: "This! I didn't expect Brother Pang's life experience to be like this! What an offense! I also hope that Brother Pang will forgive his sins! ”
Pound waved his hand when he heard this: "It's nothing, my cousin's whole family is very good to me, if you buy all my horses here today, I can repay the kindness of my cousin's family." ”
Chen Qun's eyes brightened when he heard this, and said, "Brother Ling Ming, I don't know where you plan to go after repaying the kindness of your cousin's family?" ”
Pound shook his head: "I don't know, I'm going to go out and find something to do, I don't want to sell horses anymore." ”
Chen Qun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Brother Ling Ming, why don't you come and help me do something?" ”
Pang De thought that the climate of Chen Ji Restaurant must need a lot of guards, and this job seemed to be the most suitable for him at the moment, so he nodded at the moment: "Okay!" But we have to talk about the wages in advance. ”
"No problem, you can just open the salary!" Chen Qun said with a smile.
Pound thought for a while and said, "For a thousand dollars a month, I will help you do things, but you have to take care of food and housing; 2,000 yuan a month, you don't have to worry about food and housing; For 5,000 yuan a month, I will do whatever you ask me to do, but I will not do murder and arson. ”
"Hahaha......" Chen Qun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, he didn't expect that he would get Pound so easily.
What Chen Qun didn't know was that in order to repay the kindness of his brother Pang Rou's family, Pang De in history worked as a horse dealer for two years, and then went to the government to be a small official.
