Hearing what his junior brother said, Doctor Liu coughed and said solemnly: "I know what you want to ask, and it's time to tell you." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Deyi saw that his senior brother was so serious, and he also straightened his clothes, then held his chin with his hand, and said in a low voice: "I'm ready, senior brother, you can say it." Dr. Liu looked at his junior brother and actually held his chin with his hand, and asked curiously, "What are you doing with your chin with your hand?" Li Deyi held his chin with his hand, opened his mouth with difficulty and replied: "I'm afraid that if the matter is too big later, my jaw will be shocked again, so I will hold it with my hand first, so as not to make a fool of myself later." Doctor Xiao Liu nodded, stretched out a hand to help the junior brother and sister, and said: "This matter is indeed a bit big, the master was shocked when he received the news, I will help you hold a little, I am afraid that you will not be able to support it alone." As soon as Li De heard what his senior brother said, he quickly held his chin more steadily, and sat there honestly waiting for what his senior brother would say.

Medical Officer Xiao Liu pondered for a moment and said: "We came to Luodu this time, mainly because Master received news that Luodu Garrison Wang Songcheng plans to put King Dong on the throne and sit on the throne in Luodu. After saying this important news, Dr. Xiao Liu stared at his junior brother to see his reaction. Li Deyi held his chin steady, and the result was to wait for such news, take his hand down, Li De nodded: "Oh, so that's the case, so there is going to be a new emperor in the Pingzhou Dynasty again?" Hehe smiled, Li Deyi made a foolish look and continued: "Actually, I felt that something was wrong when I just went out, and it was too simple to look at what the master had prepared." In the past, when we pretended to be a caravan to go to the grassland, the goods we prepared were more neat than this time. Later, when I went out, I found that all the people sent by the master this time were all good hands, and they all had unique skills, so you can see that they show their skills when they enter the city. Besides, why should the investigation be so strict at the city gate of Luodu City for no reason, even this kid was asked before he was let in, there must be something, and it is a big deal! Doctor Xiao Liu nodded and said, "It's indeed a long ability, not bad." When I heard that there was such a big thing as supporting a new king, I was surprised for a while, you can actually hold this town, you really have grown up. Last year, Zhongshen City was captured, and you know about this. ”

"Isn't this known to the whole world now, a good thing done by the Tuliao people! I am a banker, who is the emperor What does it matter to me? Since I entered the Weibei camp, I don't have to pay taxes or serve forced labor, so I don't care who becomes the emperor. Li Deyi said indignantly. Xiao Liu, who thought that his junior brother had grown up, listened to his words, and then understood why his junior brother didn't care about such a thing as the new monarch's accession to the throne. Yes, now that his relatives are dead, he is a single person, what does it have to do with Li Deyi who becomes the emperor? "Then do you know that Dou Bi, the son of heaven in the Pingzhou Dynasty, is now unknown in life and death, and a few months have passed, and now both the east and the west are preparing to support the new monarch." Doctor Liu pulled his junior brother to a secluded room and began to explain the whole story in detail. "This King Songcheng of Luodu City intends to support the thirteen princes, King Dong. Master asked me to see how things were, and by the way, to see if the thirteen princes were the ones and whether they could make it happen. Li Deyi showed a suddenly realized expression, nodded and said: "I can't complain that the investigation at the city gate is so strict, it turns out that this Luodu City is about to become an imperial city." The city gate is not an ordinary city gate, a dragon gate. It took me a long time to jump over the dragon gate once, haha. Up to now, Li Deyi has not taken such a major event as who is the emperor as a major matter, and he is still wondering why he has to work so hard to get into the city.

Doctor Xiao Liu walked back and forth in the room for a few steps and said, "Master instructed us not to act rashly after entering the city, but to investigate the news first, observe and observe the situation, and then make plans. I'll let those old brothers go out later, and you won't go out yet, for you'll have to do the things that will be passed out of the city after the news is ascertained, for you're the only one of us who can travel on four legs now. Li De thought for a moment and agreed: "Then I'll wait here, senior brother, you can go busily." ”

Medical Officer Xiao Liu took Li Deyi back to the big house, gave a brief explanation to everyone, and then sent them all out to find out the news in the streets and alleys. Li De took the rest of the cooked mutton, picked up two flatbreads, and went outside to eat with the "Hummer" and "Four Eyes". Medical Officer Xiao Liu called Boss Guo aside, and the two discussed things secretly.

When it was dark, the veterans sent out slowly returned. Dr. Liu gathered everyone into the big room and asked them to tell them one by one what they had heard. A group of veterans pondered for a while, and finally Zhu Daxian, who had been a butcher and sold pork, opened his mouth, he coughed, and said: "I went to the meat market today to sell that pig, I don't want this pig to be bought by a man who looks like a housekeeper as soon as it is hung." I accosted him, and he said that the house was going to have a banquet today, and the cook was going to make a whole pig roasted in the oven, and he came to buy my freshly killed whole pig. Before leaving, the man instructed me that if there was a whole pig to sell tomorrow, I could send it directly to the king's garrison's mansion. Nowadays, dignitaries and nobles all hate pork, how can anyone eat pork, only ordinary people eat pork. The king's garrison actually feasted guests with pork today, and I thought it was definitely not a banquet for the nobles of the city. After the veteran finished speaking, he sat there quietly, waiting for Dr. Liu to speak. Doctor Xiao Liu groaned for a while, but did not rush to say anything, and motioned for the others to continue.

This time, it was Chen San, who was dressed as a blind fortune teller, and he said: "I carried the hexagram flag around the place, and it really made me find out a great letter." It is said that the palace guarded by this king has recently been recruiting all kinds of charlatans and Taoist priests who understand numerology and gossip. I'm going to try my luck near the garrison tomorrow to see if I can sneak into the king's garrison. Hearing this, Medical Officer Xiao Liu nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to be careful, you don't have to risk exploring the secrets of the king's garrison mansion, just listen to some news at will." After all, we are only here to investigate, and all major matters will be decided by the master and the three generals after we go back. ”

The eight veterans in the back did not find any useful information. Let's just say that there are really a lot of rich and noble families coming and going on the street today, it seems that they are all coming from other places, and they all bring a lot of guards, and they have seen more than a dozen waves of nobles this afternoon alone. Doctor Xiao Liu listened and asked, "Have you seen a beautiful young man riding a rouge horse passing by with a yellow-haired boy riding a big black horse?" When he asked this, the veteran who was performing a street show and broke a big stone on his chest hurriedly nodded and said that he had seen it. Sure enough, they also came for this support. Doctor Liu muttered a sentence and said no more.

Li Deyi also sat in the room, listening quietly, but he couldn't understand, and finally simply closed his eyes and began to cultivate the original qi. When Li De opened his eyes repeatedly, all the people in the room had already disappeared, and when he looked outside, it was already dark. As soon as Li De pushed the door open, he walked out, but as soon as the door was pushed open, Li Deyi was so frightened that he jumped back into the house, and the "Hummer" and "Four Eyes" outside were guarding the door with a sad face, especially the little eyes of the "Hummer" were so hungry that their eyes were the same as "Four Eyes", and they were about to glow green.

His stomach rumbled twice, Li De's face turned red, and he deliberately said loudly: "I have forgotten the hour of hard practice, and this is just past the meal!" Don't look at me like that, it's not that I won't give you food! Let's go, and I'll take you to dinner. Eat it one by one! "Saying this, Li Deyi is also thick-skinned to a certain number, he eats by himself, and he doesn't say a few by himself, and he works hard every time he eats." Humvee" snapped its nose in disdain. Li Deyi ignored him, walked straight to the kitchen in front, entered the door, and sure enough, he left him food. Dinner is a soup stewed with pork intestines and haggis, and the staple food is the white-flour steamed bun specially prepared by Guo Erde, which is a good thing. Li Deyi can eat the white-flour buns, or drag the blessings of a veteran, they and Guo Er have not seen each other for many years, Guo Er has specially changed this white-flour bun to treat the old brothers. In addition, there were several large pieces of mutton bone meat, and Li had to divide a handful of mutton bones for the "Hummer" and "Four Eyes", and he ate a full meal with a white flour bun in the chop soup.

For three days in a row, nothing happened, and Li Deyi ate and cultivated his original qi every day. On the morning of the fourth day, before dawn, Doctor Xiao Liu called Li Deyi up, "You go outside the city today to have a look, tell the soldiers outside the city that it will take a few days to buy salt, and tell them to wait patiently." Li Deyi couldn't go anywhere in the city, he was bored for a long time, and now he could take the opportunity to go out of the city to let off steam, so he naturally promised and couldn't wait to leave immediately. As soon as Doctor Xiao Liu saw the leaping look on his junior brother's face, he knew that he had been suffocated in the past few days, waved his hand, and asked the junior brother to set off immediately.

As soon as Li De walked to the door, Doctor Liu shouted again: "Go to the pot house to pick up two cakes, grab a lamb wrap, and wait for thirty miles." When you go out of the city, you go to the south gate, and the south gate is full of peddlers and pawns entering and leaving, and the inspection is also looser. Without looking back, he replied, "I know." Li De turned his head and ran to the back kitchen. As soon as Li De brought the meal, he went to call "Hummer". When the "Hummer" heard that he was going out of the city, he also spread joy and circled around Li De. "Four Eyes" also came over and rubbed Li Deyi's leg and stomach. Li De glanced at the two wolves, rolled his eyes, went to the house and took out a big black bag, filled it with some straw, let the "four eyes" and the two of them get in, and then put the bag on the back of the "Humvee", and Li De led the "Humvee" to the city gate.

The south gate was indeed full of small merchants and hawkers coming in and out, and the soldiers guarding the gate were not careful, so they let it go after a cursory glance. Li Deyi went out of the city gate without much effort. Out of the city gate, Li Deyi continued to walk south for a while, saw that there was no one around, turned a corner onto a small road, turned around and began to run wildly to the north. The "Hummer", who had been holding back in the city for a few days, was also energetic at this time, and he ran happily, and the two "four-eyed" people who were released followed after him were called Huanshi. At the speed of the "Hummer", thirty miles is really nothing, and it didn't take long to get there.

Following the marks left on the trees along the way up the mountain, and after explaining the instructions of his senior brother, Li Deyi was a little lazy and didn't want to go back to the city so soon. I had a delicious meal of roasted game in the mountains, until it was dark, and Li had to take the remaining dozen rabbits and pheasants with him, and then he left for the city. I entered the city again through the south gate, but this time I didn't return through the main entrance of the shop, but entered the courtyard through a small gate in a secluded alley behind.

Three long and two short, knocked on the door, and Dr. Liu opened the door from the inside, and cautiously looked left and right, and then let Li Deyi into the hospital. After briefly asking about the situation outside the city, Dr. Xiao Liu said, "I'll come to the hall after dinner, and I have something to discuss tonight." Li De agreed with a weak heart, and said with a flattering smile: "Senior brother, I went out of the city to catch some rabbits and pheasants, you let the kitchen make it, and eat some game tonight." "Doctor Xiao Liu just saw that his junior brother had nothing to do and was bored, so he let him go out to deliver the letter for a day, and naturally he wouldn't say anything," You send it yourself. You have to ask me how to make your own decisions, such a small thing. After saying that, he turned his head and went into the house, not knowing what he was busy with.

After dinner, as soon as Li De came to the big house, everyone was already there. Doctor Xiao Liu said to Chen San: "You tell everyone what you heard in the Wang Garrison Mansion in the past few days. Chen San pondered for a moment and said, "After discussing with the little doctor three days ago, I acted according to the plan and set up a stall on the road that Wang Yong, the eldest son of the king guarded. When he passed by, I deliberately said, 'O nobleman. Let him listen. That Wang Yong really fell into the plan, got off the horse and beckoned me to go over for questioning, and asked him where he was. I deliberately sold a pass, only saying that he would be unspeakably expensive in the future, and he would have the appearance of a hidden dragon. When he heard this, he invited me into the house. After I entered the mansion, I found that the king had set aside a courtyard in the palace to house us Jianghu warlocks and Taoist priests who knew numerology. I sneaked a few glances, all of them were the same as me, but they were some charlatans who could observe words and looks, and only one Taoist priest named Yuan Tuibei seemed to have real skills. However, this Yuan Daoye is young and vigorous, relying on his ability, he is very tough when he speaks, and he never says anything about slapping horses, so he is not favored by the king's guards, and he is treated coldly in the mansion. Speaking of this, Chen San swallowed and foamed, and then said: "Later, Wang Yong, the son of the king guard, came to me for questioning, and I had a good meal and slapped the horse, and he served him comfortably, and he praised me for my real ability, saying that he wanted to introduce me to his father. For the next two days, I was careful not to expose myself. I felt that someone had been secretly watching me, testing whether I was really blind or if I was really a master of the world. ”

Chen San continued: "On the third day, the king guard actually met me in person, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked me what the general trend of the world was. I took the set of words I memorized from Mr. Sun to deal with him, and occasionally slapped him with two sentences, but I didn't expect to say that he was very happy in the end. After some temptation, he directly held back and secretly asked me how the matter of standing was auspicious. I knew that this was the time to die, so I only said that the future was bright, and then I deduced that the time had not yet come, and the opportunity of heaven should not be revealed, so I kept silent. I let him come into my room at night, and then a heavenly opportunity will appear. When he heard this, he rewarded me with a hundred silver coins on the spot, not to mention, but also said that in the future, when the support was successful, he would recommend me to be a national teacher. That night, I used the old trick, left a wordless book on the table, next to the knife on the table carved out the four ancient seal characters of 'into the fire is present', and then locked the door from the inside, so that the hook lock went directly out of the window, and then the window was not good, bypassing the guards on duty at night and jumping out of the courtyard wall of the garrison mansion, taking advantage of the night to sneak out, I hid outside for another day, burned the fortune teller's body, changed a set of clothes, and only came back from the small door today. At this point, Chen San stopped. Zhu Da, who pretended to be a pork butcher, continued: "No wonder there are rumors everywhere on the streets today that the garrison has come to the real immortals, leaving a page of the wordless heavenly book with authentic traces in the fire, and the common people have conveyed their gods. Doctor Xiao Liu thought for a moment and said, "Chen San, you don't have to go out for a few days, recharge your energy at home, and when you finish buying salt, it's almost time for us to go back this trip." ”

Everyone in the Weibei camp was familiar with their respective deeds, so naturally they didn't have any doubts, only Li Deyi heard the clouds and mountains and mist, and couldn't help but ask: "Third Brother Chen, what's the matter with the 'Heavenly Book in the Fire' you said?" It's the first time I've heard of it. Chen San opened his mouth and explained: "That's just a little trick, an old charlatan concocted a trick, our Weibei Camp caught him back then, and prying out the internal mechanism from his mouth." In fact, it is to make a special medicinal powder to write on paper, usually can not be seen, with a fire to show the handwriting, but the word is written on paper, the paper will be burned when it encounters fire, naturally it looks mysterious. "Oh, I see." Li Deyi understood, and then said: "Senior brother, I know why you said that we should almost go back this time." Dr. Liu smiled, "Oh? Tell me about it. He waved his hand and motioned for everyone else to go back and rest.

Li Deyi shook his head and said: "I once watched "The Romance of Taizu Dingchao", and Taizu said on it, 'The Son of Heaven, the strong soldiers and horses are strong. 'This king is prepared to do such a big thing as supporting the new king, first, he does not train soldiers and horses, second, he does not reward soldiers and soldiers, and third, he does not contact local gentry to attract Austrian reinforcements. actually only invited some warlocks to calculate good fortune and misfortune, which is what it looks like to be able to do things. An old brother in Weibeiying who knows a little trick can scare him for a moment. This person seems to have a heavy army in his hands, and he acts ruthlessly and viciously, but in fact, he is not even as good as the old woman in the village. Such people will be defeated sooner or later, and there is no need to pay attention to them. ”

Listening to the words of the junior brother, Dr. Liu couldn't help but smile and said: "Wow, wow, wow, junior brother, you haven't read this book in vain, you know how to ponder the truth in the book, say it well, say it well." This Wang Songcheng first committed the following crimes, rebelled and imprisoned his superiors, and then tried to support the new monarch and gamble on the power and wealth of the sky. It is very disappointing that this person acted like a woman, who wanted to seek great things and greedy for small gains, and did not honor the promised rewards, but learned from those ignorant women who asked for divination. I have also heard these days that this man is the most capricious, and the rewards promised to his soldiers are often in arrears, and he is also very harsh on the soldiers, and he often kills them at will. And everything has to be taken care of, no matter how big or small, so that the soldiers are often tired. Many of the generals in his army already resented him, and it was ridiculous that he actually boasted that he was wise and powerful, and his subordinates could not deceive him in the slightest. They are doing like this, and we don't have to stay here any longer, and we should finish picking and buying salt early, and go back early. ”

"Ah, I can go back, I can't go anywhere in this city, but I'm suffocated." Li Deyi couldn't help but say happily. Xiao Liu's medical officer said: "Don't be too happy too early, the big matter of buying salt will be handled tomorrow, and we need to prepare carefully, and there must be no mistakes." Tomorrow you change your clothes and go with me to the salt market. ”

Li Deyi said curiously: "Senior brother, what kind of name is this salt market?" We buy salt in the village when we wait for the market to find a seller who carries the burden to sell salt to buy some, just forget it, there is a special salt market for this salt? I thought that coming out to buy salt this time would be the same as when I went to the market before. When Doctor Xiao Liu heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "This is Xijing Luodu, you think it's your village." This salt market was also opened by order of Emperor Taizu, the founding emperor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, and there were special salt markets in the capitals of various places, and salt sellers, no matter how big or small, needed to have a shop in the salt market for the imperial court to control. According to the local chronicles: at the beginning of the founding of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, due to the perennial war, the price of salt in various places remained high, the people complained, and the salt merchants took the opportunity to make a big deal. Some salt merchants' family wealth is even richer than the country, and the luxury of the salt merchant's life is even more staggering. There was once a head of a salt merchant who asked for fifty silver coins for a meal of egg fried rice. ”

"Fifty silver coins for a meal of egg fried rice! My mother, why do you eat so much? This salt merchant must be cultivating the original qi, and he eats more than me! No, fifty silver coins, you can buy more than three pigs, which is more than the king and a fat man! Li Deyi was surprised.
