At this moment, the big man with a beard jumped out of the circle and said, "Stop!" This friend is so handsome, may I ask your honorable name, is there any misunderstanding between us! ”

Lao Cheng also put away the big axe and said with a smile: "I said a long time ago that this is just a misunderstanding!" You have to ask me, a nameless person with a young surname, a certain family surnamed Cheng, named Cheng Biting Jin! My eldest brother, you must have heard of it, Shandong Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao's is! ”

The young man in the back exclaimed and asked, "Isn't it Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao from Licheng County?" Qin Qiong stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Yes, it's Qin!" Who are you? ”

The young man laughed and said, "What a misunderstanding; A certain pharmacist surnamed Li Mingjing! Qin Qiong was startled and hurriedly asked, "But Sanyuan Li Jing Li Pharmacist!" ”

The young man returned the salute with a fist and said, "No, it's exact!" Cheng Biting Jin's eyes lit up, and he looked at his idol, Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cheng Yanjin smiled: "Since everyone knows each other, then let's not stand here, everyone comes to us, wouldn't it be nice to eat and drink together!" ”

Everyone responded violently, everyone came to Cheng Yanjin's courtyard, Chai Shao hurriedly asked people to arrange a banquet, and the ten heroes sat around.

Lao Cheng said to Li Jing: "Brother Li, help introduce this friend of Yi Bo Yuntian, as well as your wife who does not let her eyebrows go!" ”

Li Jing's face turned red when she heard this, but the woman in red didn't smile at all and asked, "How can you be sure that I am Li Lang's wife?" ”

Lao Cheng said with a smile: "This is not difficult, my sister-in-law's friendship with Brother Li can be seen by everyone with eyes, and Brother Li helps my sister-in-law decide the seat, pull the chair, and take the dishes and chopsticks; The couple is very affectionate, and we are all very envious! ”

The woman in red giggled and said, "You looked carefully; Yes, I am Li Lang's wife, my name is Zhang Chuchen; This is my sworn brother, named Zhang Ding and Zhang Zhongjian, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called bearded guests! ”

Lao Cheng was stunned for a moment and said: "It turned out to be the famous Three Heroes of Wind and Dust, the bearded guest Zhang Zhongjian, the three original Li Jing, and the red whisk girl Zhang Chuchen; What a disrespect! ”

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and Zhang Chuchen said: "You are really good at talking; I only escaped from Yang Sufu a few days ago to marry Li Lang, and I plan to wander the rivers and lakes; You gave us a nickname when you opened your mouth! The Three Heroes of Wind and Dust. Red Whisk Girl, I like it very much; We'll use that name from now on! ”

Lao Cheng's face flushed, he laughed twice and sat down and stopped talking, but fortunately, Zhang Ding and the others didn't say much. Li Jing began to ask for their names again, and Qin Qiong introduced them to everyone.

After a short time, the banquet was placed, and everyone was even closer to each other, which meant that they would see each other late. Chai Shao said: "Everyone, isn't it the will of heaven that we are waiting to gather here today; Why don't we make friends and become brothers with different surnames? ”

When they heard this, they were overjoyed and agreed; When everyone talks about age, Zhang Ding is the oldest eldest brother, Qin Qiong and Li Jing are the same year, but Qin Qiong is a few months older and is the second, and Li Jing ranks third.

Kan Ling is older than Lao Cheng according to his grade, but he can't kill this fourth brother; Lao Cheng and Chai Shao were in the same year, because of their birthdays, they were the fourth, Kan Ling was fifth, and the following were Chai Shao, Wang Bodang, Qi Guoyuan, and Li Ruqi; The youngest is the red-whisked woman Zhang Chuchen.

Chai Shao arranged for his subordinates to find incense candles, and everyone swore to the sky that they would share blessings and difficulties; I do not seek to be born on the same day in the same year, but I want to die on the same day and in the same year.

After the bow, everyone felt that the relationship had entered another level, and after sitting down again, they spoke a lot more freely, and almost talked about everything.

Saying that Qin Qiong and the others were going to give Yang Su a gift on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Jingyi frowned and said: "Although the junior brother has a fluttering lake and a sea, all the sons of the hundred schools and the nine-rate different arts, all pay attention to the discussion. The favorite is Fengjian.

The second brother is in charge of the Yin Hall this year, and there is some black gas invading people at the moment, and he is afraid of a frightened disaster, so he dare not say anything.

The younger brother watched the statue day and night, and when the fifteenth and third watches of the first month, the comet was excessive, and the civil master had the disaster of swords, soldiers, fires, and thieves. After the second brother gave Yang Su a gift, he must not be greedy for lantern watching. After getting the approval, it is better to return to Shandong as soon as possible. ”

Qin Qiong was shocked when she heard this, thinking of Qi Guoyuan and Li Ruqi; Seeing that a horse can cause trouble, the ancestor nodded secretly in his heart, and decided to leave after giving the gift.

Qi Guoyuan's big head fluttered and said: "What did the third child say, we finally came to Chang'an for a trip, of course we have to have fun." What's wrong with Chang'an City, that's the Longtan Tiger's Den? Afraid of a bird? provoked grandpa and burned his mother! ”

Qin Qiong was furious and was about to reprimand them, but Cheng Yanjin hurriedly persuaded him and said: "Second brother, don't be like the eighth brother, he is a bastard, I looked at him when he fell; Make sure he can't mess with the goods! ”

Qin Qiong believed in Cheng Biting Jin very much, nodded and stopped talking; Lao Cheng asked Zhang Ding again: "Big brother, don't live here, what are your plans?" ”

Zhang Chuchen preemptively said: "We have already discussed, let's go back to the big brother's house in Yangzhou first." Brother Zhang's family is a local tycoon, so let's go there to borrow it for a while; Then look at the situation in the Central Plains and decide what to do next? ”

Zhang Zhongjian stared at Cheng Yanjin with glittering eyes and said: "Fourth brother, today, who do you say has a better chance of being a hero?" ”

Cheng Yanjin saw the ambition of competing for the Central Plains from Zhang Zhongjian's eyes, and he laughed and said: "Brother Zhang, now the strength of the Great Sui still exists, whoever rises first will perish first." Besides, what kind of heroes are those bandits and bullies now, they are just bandits who take advantage of the chaos to rob the people!

If you want to dominate the Central Plains, money, strength, fame, ability and opportunities are indispensable! I don't think we have these conditions, so don't be delusional! ”

Zhang Zhongjian's eyes darkened, nodded slightly, and did not say more; Lao Cheng knew that he couldn't interrupt his idea of hegemony in two sentences, and said: "Big brother, you are a big man in Yangzhou, do you know the craftsmen who build ships?" My Liangshan is surrounded by water on all sides, and some are close to the Yellow River; I've always wanted to do business on the waterway; However, I can only build fishing boats in small rural areas, which makes me more than I can do! ”

Zhang Chuchen sneered and said: "Fourth brother, you can be regarded as the right person, the eldest brother's family controls Jiangnan Shipping, and there is the largest shipyard in Dasui; You're right to ask him to build a ship! ”

Lao Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Big brother, then you need to help a lot!" If your subordinates can build ships, also help introduce a few to me, the more the merrier! ”

Zhang Zhongjian said with a smile: "You dare to speak, I have two people who can build sea ships, but they are my treasures, and I am a fairy at home every day." But the fourth brother, you have spoken, I can't be stingy, go back and send you one, you can entertain me! ”

Lao Cheng grinned and said, "Thank you, big brother!" I must treat them as emperors! Qin Qiong interjected and asked, "Biting Jin, what are you looking for a sea ship for?" Are you going to be a pirate? ”

Cheng Yanjin was stunned and said, "Second brother, how can you say it's a pirate?" There is a big opportunity outside, and a few of our porcelain, in the Byzantine Empire and the Persian Empire in the West, can be exchanged for countless treasures! I want to go out and do business! ”

Zhang Zhongjian was stunned for a moment and said: "I have seen these merchants you mentioned, but the weather at sea is ever-changing, and they don't save one out of ten when they come; It's still too dangerous! ”

Lao Cheng smiled: "Brother Zhang, what is there no danger in doing anything?" However, we still have to be fully prepared before we can sail far, and my first step is to do business with Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, and even the Japanese people, and then go further when I have accumulated enough experience! ”

Qin Qiong and they were all a little speechless, is this something that you have to consider as a little Xiangzuo? Lao Cheng suddenly turned his head to Chai Shao and said: "Sixth, we have the benefit of salt and iron in Shandong, I want to open a few salt farms to sell some salt, do you want to?" ”

Chai Shao smiled: "Yes, why not?" We don't produce salt there, we rely on the distribution of the imperial court, the price is high, and the quality is not good; If you're willing to sell it, of course we will! However, I can only arrange for my subordinate chambers of commerce to accept it secretly, after all, this matter cannot be put on the table! ”

Lao Cheng glared and said, "That's nature!" I'm ready to inform you that when there is a market, I will start planning the salt farm! ”

Chai Shao smiled: "Good guy, it turns out that your salt farm is not there yet, so I thought about selling it out first!" ”

Lao Cheng laughed and said, "Don't worry about this, I have already planned it; You just have to wait for the salt to be harvested! ”
