Jizhou, has always been one of the few rich states in the north of Lulongjun Town, located between Danzhou and Pingzhou, and adjacent to Youzhou in the south. Yuyang County, which governs the place, is one of the ancient cities in Youzhou, with a tall city, a large number of households, a forest of shops in the city, and a prosperous market economy.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhuang Yi led the caravan to the outskirts of Yuyang City, and Zhao Yingzhe led them to a manor to settle down, and went into the city to report to the head of the family. After two days of rapid travel, Zhuang Yi was really tired, and after freshening up, he fell asleep after dinner.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Mei Xiang, who was sleeping outside, called for washing water, prepared the green salt and willow branches of Seguchi, and urged vigorously, Zhuang Yi had to get up and use it too early after washing, waiting for Zhao Yingzhe's arrival. Fortunately, he didn't wait long, and Zhao Yingzhe brought the housekeeper Zhao Fu. Everyone already knows each other, and after some greetings, Zhuang Yi took Gao Hongxun and a dozen other people to the city with Zhao Yingzhe and Zhao Fu, and first went to see the head of the Zhao family, that is, Zhao Ting, the assassin of Jizhou.

Accompanied by the two members of the Zhao family, they passed all the way unimpeded, and were taken straight to Yanshan Fang near the Thorn Mansion in the north of the city, which was a vacant mansion with an old servant and several miscellaneous servants to guard it. Zhao Yingzhe also lived here temporarily, he told Zhuang Yi that the ancestral home of the Zhao family is in Fanyang Zhuo County, and there is also an official residence in Youzhou City, where the family lives, and he also warmly invited Zhuang Yi to go to Youzhou with him, exaggerating that the market in Youzhou City is so lively, how coquettish the orchid is, and how elegant the prostitutes in the Qinglou are.

Zhuang Yi is really much older than him, and although he is interested in this, he is more resistant, and more often he is talking without answering. But Zhao Yingzhe's chatterbox was opened, and he couldn't stop at all.

"Chang'an has been through many wars, and the current situation is probably worse than my Youzhou, I heard that the emperor returned to Chang'an from Bashu and changed to Yuan Guangqi, and I don't see how auspicious this year name is, for example, Qin Zongquan is capricious, he set up a hundred officials, and became the emperor of the soil, and he is ambitious, and it is estimated that the Central Plains will be chaotic." Zhao Yingzhe said eloquently.

"They mess with them, and it is a blessing that Youzhou can be safe, but in this way, the Qianshou of the Central Plains will be miserable, which also indirectly affects Youzhou, the price of grain is high, I don't know what the market price in Youzhou is now?" Zhuang Yi replied.

"Youzhou is okay, the rice is floating around four hundred yuan, the price of silk and silk brocade is different, Youzhou is in the middle, and salt and iron are expensive." Cho Young-chul seems to realize that he is talking a little too much, and then he never talks about the actual data.

The two sat in the living room and gossiped for an hour, and the head of the family, Zhao Ting, finally came, and Zhuang Yi and Zhao Yingzhe hurriedly greeted them.

Zhao Ting is about forty years old, with a big black and red silver plate face, two beards, a tall figure and a little fat, walking with a shy belly, looking less like a scribe, more like a martial artist. If Zhuang Yi's knowledge of history is good enough, he may be so excited that he will be incoherent when he sees this person, because this Zhao Ting is the great-grandfather of Zhao Kuangyin, the later Taizu of the Northern Song Dynasty.

"This young man, presumably the former Li Yuanjun's tooth soldier Zhengzhuang Dalang? Li Yuanjun has gone away, and the matter has calmed down, why don't you go back to Youzhou? Zhao Ting looked at Zhao Yingzhe and asked, he put his hands behind his back, and his expression was a little arrogant.

"There is a saying that it is better to be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow! Stay in Madu Mountain, I am the master of one party, and I have to listen to the call of others when I return to Youzhou, which is definitely not what I wish to be a slow person in the mountains, please forgive Zhao Yuanjun! Zhuang Yi stepped forward and bowed.

"It's good that young people are arrogant, but don't be arrogant, you have to remember! I heard that you are training in the mountains, collecting weapons and armor, and accumulating wealth, I'm afraid your plans are not small, right? Zhao Ting's eyes shot straight into Zhuang Yi's face like a sharp arrow, and his momentum was extremely overwhelming.

Zhuang Yi sighed in his heart, here he is again! This big black face can't see anything, it's impossible, no! He must not be allowed to see that when the time comes, a horizontal stick will be a big deal.

"Haha...... Although Zhuang is a thief, he must also try to save the precious lives of his brothers, in order to collect war horses, isn't it inevitable to get some suitable weapons and armor? It's not a plot! I'm working hard for others, Zhao Yuanjun is an understanding person, please fulfill it! Zhuang Yi solemnly bowed his hand as a salute.

"Really? Then tell me, what are you involved in the war of the Xi people in Shanbei? Zhao Ting asked aggressively, not intending to be ambiguous at all.

The fuck even knows this, it looks like there are nails in the village! Zhuang Yi thought secretly, but he didn't show his face, and replied with a laugh: "Zhao Yuanjun should understand that if the Xi people are defeated by the Khitans, will there still be a place for me in Shanbei?" If you can defeat the Khitans, it can be said that you will gain fame and fortune, so why not do it. ”

Zhao Ting listened to it, the corners of his eyebrows twitched, he raised his head and closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and finally nodded, Da Zhuang smiled: "It makes sense, if the Khitan people gain power, Lu Longgusai is afraid that it will be difficult to be peaceful, but the Xi people have already moved towards a split, and it is possible to contain the Khitan people and defeat them?" Can you really do it? Is this good for Youzhou? ”

"Whether you can defeat the Khitans or not, you have to try...... As for Youzhou, with 100,000 armor, are you still afraid of the Shanbei miscellaneous Hu who drink blood? Zhuang Yi asked rhetorically.

"Good...... Have the guts! It's really rare to see a young man like you! You can get your wish this time! After Zhao Ting finished speaking, he dropped the sleeves of his robe, turned around and left.

"Wait...... Zhao Yuanjun can have a place where Zhuang needs to work, please speak, this is better! ”

"Do it well...... Zhao is also a state assassin, and there are people who do things, so I won't work for you! ”

Hey...... What the fuck does this mean? Agreed so quickly, will there be fraud? The more you owe him, the harder it is to pay it back, especially this favor, it seems that this big black face wants to tie me firmly! But Lao Tzu is not a cow, let alone a kite. Zhuang Yi smiled coldly, but he was in a good mood.

Now that the business is done, it is time to deal with the personal matter. Zhuang Yi immediately asked Zhao Yingzhe about the skilled Langzhong in Yuyang City. Zhao Yingzhe was also refreshed, and as he told the truth, Zhuang Yi took Gao Hongxun and others back to the manor outside the city.

From a distance, I saw a person standing listlessly in front of the gate of the manor and looking around, and when the man saw Zhuang Yi and his party of more than ten people leading the horse over, he immediately turned around and ran.

"Stop...... What are you running, what are you running, ......" Zhuang Yi snorted, threw away the reins of the horse, and strode over.

The man stood helplessly, turned around and saluted, and said with a smile: "The big leader is back, go in and report it." ”

"There are no sentinels! Do you need to report it? Your name is Shi Dali, the leader of the second group of the pro-guard team, right? What a job! Go ahead......" Zhuang Yi scolded with a cold face.

Seeing Zhuang Yi nodding, Shi Dali immediately ran away. This Shi Dali is Shi Dazhong's younger brother, who is also tall and strong, as powerful as an ox, but he is a little more clever and ruffian than Shi Dazhong, but his fist and foot martial arts are not very good. In order to win over Shi Dazhong, Zhuang Yi let him enter the personal guard.

As soon as I entered the front yard, I listened to the noise in the wings on both sides. Zhuang Yi listened to it and couldn't help laughing, these damn guys actually have pocket money to gamble, no wonder they are still looking for someone to look at the wind, but today he doesn't want to pay attention to it.

"Tall! You take someone to stay at the manor in the afternoon, and the goods are estimated to be handed over tomorrow, and I have to do something in the afternoon. ”

"Okay...... So when is it going to go? Gao Hongxun asked anxiously.

"Hey! You can rest assured...... It's hard to come to Yuyang, you have to play for a few days! Zhuang Yi couldn't see his careful thoughts.

"Is it done? Everyone is idle, it's really ......" Yuan Zhi used the news, came out of the wing, saw Zhuang Yi's nervous face, looked at his face, and greeted him with half a question and half an explanation.

"Did I do anything in person? You're doing a good job, and the goods are all good? Let them stop, anyway, there are many people who lose, and there is no money, stay and guard, the winner can go to Yuyang City in the afternoon, and inquire about what Langzhong with high medical skills in Jizhou has, where does his home live? However, it must be a unit, and it is not allowed to go out alone, and it must come back before the gate is locked, and anyone who dares to disobey the order will be severely punished! You have to make this clear to them. Zhuang Yi commanded with a straight face.

"Really...... That's great! I'll inform them......" Yuan Zhi was overjoyed, turned around and ran, obviously this guy also won hard. After a while, cheers came from the side room, Zhuang Yi shook his head, and strode into the backyard.

Mei Xiang set up a basket in the courtyard to dry a bunch of clothes that Zhuang Yi had changed. Sha Gu was sitting at the top of the stairs drinking alcohol, he changed into a leather hat, leather robe and riding boots, and wore a standard dress of a Tang man, but he wore his hair loose, and the black sara was on his head, which was really funny and looked nondescript.

"Shagu! You're dressed up well, you're handsome! Where did this dress come from? Zhuang Yi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and sat down next to him.

"Bring it yourself! It's suffocated in this house, when will you go to Yuyang City? Sha Gu smiled innocently and handed over the wine sac, Zhuang Yi pursed his lips, but he didn't bother to take it.

"What does your wine taste like, I'll take you to Yuyang in the afternoon, you can drink whatever you want." The little lady in the city is beautiful, if you change this dress, won't you also want to ......?"

"Hey, hey, hey...... I can go, you can't! Otherwise, we'll not be done with you......" Sha Gu laughed mysteriously.

"What is your reasoning, why can't I ......?"

Alan said...... Let me stare at you! Shagu grinned, like I knew it all.

"Ahem...... If I don't go, don't even think about it! ”

"Are you going to Yuyang? I'm going to ...... too Pimp! Take me with you! Mei Xiang heard something from a distance and immediately ran over with cheers.

"This ...... Little plum fragrance! Don't go, there are a lot of scoundrels in Yuyang City, you go ......" Zhuang Yi rolled his eyes and hurriedly dissuaded him.

Sha Gu didn't blink his eyes when he saw Zhuang Yi lying, he smiled and looked at him strangely.

"With you and Big Brother Shagu here, what are you afraid of! Your village is so shabby, there is nothing, and then the princess blames me for not taking good care of you, then it will be bad! I've got a lot of stuff to buy! For example, clothes, boots and hats! The bed is furnished! Pots and pans! There are also four treasures of the study! In short, many, many ......" Mei Xiang frowned and counted her fingers very seriously.

"This one! Hehe...... I really want to buy some! Zhuang Yi was a little distressed, scratched his head with tears and laughter, thought about it and said, "Then I'...... Let's go now, just go to the restaurant to be a foodie, and then go shopping. ”

"Okay...... I'm going to change my clothes! Mei Xiang giggled happily, squeezed quickly between the two, stepped on the stairs and rushed upstairs.

"Alas......" Sha Gu and Zhuang Yi both lamented and grinned again. Zhuang Yi was helpless, but Sha Gu was gloating. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
