Shan Xiongxin actually wants to "face the base"!

Liu Mang thought it was funny, but the experience of his previous life made him especially understand people like Shan Xiongxin.

Shan Xiongxin was not cowardly, he deliberately chose the meeting place closer to his nest, not because he was afraid, but because he wanted to see Liu Mang's courage.

Good! I'll let you see and see, is there a kind of master! The master can go to the temple and enter the rivers and lakes!

Regarding the meeting, Liu Mang did not make any requests, and all of them were done according to Shan Xiongxin's intentions!

Although Wan'er pouted, Hu Luguang cautiously reminded that Qilang Yanji strongly asked to accompany the guards, Liu Mang still made up his mind.

Wan'er, stay in the realm, there is no need to discuss.

Hu Luguang sat in the Jiexiu, and Qilang led a group of elite soldiers to stand by at the boundary mountain at the junction of Taiyuan and Hedong, ready to respond.

Afraid of Qilang's impulsiveness, Liu Mang warned: "Qilang, if you dare to disobey the order and bring troops into Hedong without permission, from now on, don't even think about fighting!" ”

Shichiro is not afraid of the ground, but he is afraid that he will not be able to go into battle and fight.

Liu Mang only brought Yan Qing and a few personal guards, and ordered Gao to be petted, with ten capable light cavalry guards, and followed him.

Liu Mang's move, although it is a little juvenile, is also well thought out.

The situation in Hedong is too complicated and has a direct bearing on the party's strategy, and it must be settled as soon as possible. And the key to it is in Shan Xiongxin and Chao Gai.

Chao Gai politely refused, and he couldn't force it for the time being.

Since Shan Xiongxin did not refuse, there is hope for recruitment. If Shan Xiongxin can be successfully recruited, it will have a demonstration effect and lay the foundation for the recruitment of Chao Gai and his gang.

And the danger in it, Liu Mang didn't have time to take care of it too much. He was sure that although Shan Xiongxin had a lot of concerns, he was by no means a despicable villain.

As for other risks that may exist in Hedong, Liu Mang feels that as long as there is no fanfare, it may not attract the attention of other forces, especially Wang Wushan and his gang, which pose the greatest threat.

Not to mention. With a fierce general of Gao Zhong and Qin Qiong guarding him, it would be too embarrassing if Liu Mang was afraid......

……

To get to Jiwang Mountain, you can choose two roads.

West side path. It's closer, it's easier to hide.

The central road is a little farther away, but it just passes through Binh Duong. Liu Mang chose to go to Pingyang, hoping to take this opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of the person Wu Yong said.

Binh Duong (now Linfen City) is located on the shore of the Fen River. Jin Wengong, one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, dominated the north. This area was the center of the Jin Kingdom.

Later, the Jin Kingdom declined, and the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han were divided into Jin, among which Korea was set to have its capital in Pingyang.

Today, although it is no longer as glorious as it used to be, it is still prosperous and lively because it is located on the main road to the north.

Liu Mang decided to spend one night in Binh Duong.

Here, it is the place where Qin Qiong and Shi Jin handed over the salt stone. Qin Qiong rushed to inform Shan Xiongxin that Hua Rong was in Yanchi Lin Chong to contact the matter of transporting salt and stone, and only the thief who was subdued by Shi Qian stole Liu Bi. I have been staying at Binh Duong Inn.

Before Liu Mang and the others arrived at the post house, they saw Liu Bizheng arguing with a vendor selling baskets from a distance.

Shi Qian is a thief, Liu Bi is also a thief, and the two look very similar, but Liu Mang has no good impression of Liu Bi.

Seeing that he was arguing with the vendor, afraid that he would cause trouble, Liu Mang instructed Yan Qing to go over and call him over.

After Liu Bi followed Liu Mang, he has been following the times, a figure in the army. He didn't know a few.

Yan Qing didn't know Liu Bi either, but the young master had orders, and Yan Qing didn't hesitate. walked up to the front and grabbed Liu Bi's wrist.

"Let's go. My master wants you to come over! Yan Qing whispered.

"Ahh......h

Liu Bi attached himself to Liu Mang, but the little problem of stealing from east to west did not converge. was caught by the strange beautiful man Yan Qing, thinking that he had met the victim. wants to run, but Yan Qing's grappling strength, how can he break free?

Liu Bi's soul was scattered. It is also a virtue with Shi Qian, but it is a little more cowardly than Shi Qian.

When he saw that it was the young master Liu Mang, Liu Bi was finally relieved.

"Why don't you stay in the post house, what are you going to show off?" Liu Mang's face was grim.

"Young master, the small one is not ostentatious, I will buy a basket." Liu Bi's mouth was also as broken as Shi Qian, so he said that Qin Qiong asked him to buy some baskets for salt stones, and after the salt stones were delivered, they would be loaded into baskets and transported.

"What are you fighting with others when you buy baskets?"

"Young master, it's not bad for me. His baskets are well woven and the right size. However, he only made up a few. I asked him to make up more, but he wouldn't. ”

"Are you giving a low price, don't care about this little money."

"It's not that," Liu Bi said with a sad face, "I've already paid twice the price, and that guy just won't want to!" What Liu Bi said was the truth. In order to complete the task well and let the young master Liu Mang value himself, Liu Bi worked really hard, and he did pay a high price. Anyway, like Shi Qian, Liu Bi doesn't have to spend his own money to buy things.

The buyer paid a high price, but the seller didn't dare, and he deserved to sell baskets for the rest of his life.

However, Liu Mang didn't have time to deal with this kind of wonder.

"If he doesn't sell it, don't get entangled with him, lest you get into trouble. We've been on the road for a day, and we're hungry, so let's go, let's go to the inn for a bite to eat. ”

Passing by the vendor selling baskets, Liu Mang couldn't help but turn his head sideways and glanced at the strange vendor.

Hey?

This peddler is also a burly man and quite generous, why doesn't he work hard to do something else, but he does this kind of business with no future, and he doesn't make money yet, it's really strange.

Liu Mang thought about inquiring about the news of the big man, so he didn't go back to the back room to eat, but sat in the restaurant in front of the post house. It's a place where people come and go, and it's easier to hear the news.

Liu Mang and Yan Qing and the others sat down, and just finished the meal, the basket seller actually walked into the restaurant and sat down next to Liu Mang and the others.

"Man, serve some food." The peddler screamed in style.

This post house is the largest in Pingyang City, the highest grade, and the consumption is naturally high.

A hawker selling baskets actually entered a big restaurant to eat, Liu Mang couldn't help but glance at him with disdain.

"Boom!" Liu Mang cursed in his heart.

Liu Mang in his previous life was also this virtue. With a little money in his hand, he loves to show off, love to put on music, and love to be sassy. However, when I came to this era, especially after I started to run the army, I was always worried about money, and finally gradually learned to live a thrifty life. Now, seeing this peddler, Liu Mang has some feelings of seeing himself in his previous life.

Liu Mang can't get used to hawkers, and the store doesn't care. The so-called people who come are guests, and those who are rich are masters. Especially in the eastern boundary of Hedong, there are three religions and nine streams, and no one dares to offend the shopkeepers.

"What do you want to eat?" The merchants here in Hedong are most afraid of inadvertently offending the robbers, and they are also extremely humble when they call their guests.

"Wine, let's come to the local Fenjiu."

Fenjiu is a famous local wine, but when it comes out of the mouth of a hawker, it seems to be very worthless.

"What's the dish, are there crabs?"

"Yes!" The shopkeeper should be very cheerful.

This is the mainland, and there are no crabs. There are many high rollers in Hedong, many people like to eat crabs, and shrewd traders use ice cubes to keep them fresh in winter, and bring crabs here from the east to store them in ice cellars.

Because of the ice preservation, the price of crab fish is naturally expensive.

The shopkeeper was also quite clever, seeing that the vendor was dressed like a rich man, but he ordered good wine and food, and he was afraid that he would not be able to pay the bill, so he deliberately reminded him and said the price of wine and food.

"Huh?" The vendor took out the money, counted it, shook his head, and said, "Not enough......

In the words, there is only regret, but there is no embarrassment.

Liu Mang couldn't get used to it, and couldn't help but snort with disdain...... (To be continued.) )
