Unlike Naga and Mnachi, who were also born in the savannah, Cui Shibalang has never been a steady character, and he was born on Mombasa Island, and his ears and eyes have also been tainted with the habits of some tropical groups.

Since following Luo Kaixian on the journey back to his homeland, in his opinion, although he can learn a lot of skills from following this "third uncle", there are too many things about this "third uncle", and the requirements are too strict. So when Silvan Luo Kaixian began to be busy, he began to do his best to avoid appearing in Luo Kaixian's sight without restraint.

Of course, although Luo Kaixian, who was busy, didn't care about taking care of this "tropical boy" alone, he still found a temporary master for Cui Shibalang - Jin Qian according to the words promised to the old blacksmith Cui Zhoushi.

As mentioned earlier (Chapter 4, Fifty-Five), Jin Qian is not very old but is not good at talking, and he started a solo hunter, Luo Kai first handed over Cui Shibalang to him, and somehow the two of them looked at each other, this Jin Qian treated Cui Shibalang strictly and full of spoiling, and later, the two of them not only got along like master and apprentice, but like a pair of brothers.

Traveled thousands of miles along the way, followed Jin Qian through the camps, and Cui Shibalang, who was spoiled, had no chance to become a gentleman, but with the 'qualifications' he had followed by Luo Kaixian's side, as well as a good mind and a tongue that was not inferior to others, he was like a fish in water.

And it was for this reason that he was able to accompany Helton when he traveled to the Song Kingdom.

After Helton and his entourage arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, because of the complexity of the initial things, Helton, Jin Qian and others were busy. In the face of Kaifeng Mansion, which is far more prosperous than all the cities he has experienced before, how can his heart-warming heart be restrained by trivial matters? Helton and Jin Qian also knew how to make the best use of their talents, so he, a young junior, along with nine of them, got an interesting errand - to mingle among the people of Kaifeng Mansion and find out the secrets of some Song nobles or ministers.

For Cui Shibalang, this errand is simply too suitable for him, with his fists and feet that are not inferior to ordinary people now and his healthy and sunny appearance, don't be too easy.

Therefore, while Helton and the others were busy with trivial chores, Cui Shibalang quickly mixed like a fish in water in the market of Kaifeng Mansion, and even had a good name - Junyi Shibalang.

That's right, it's this title, Cui Shibalang has a standard oriental face, and the experience along the way has not erased his spirituality, but has more of a wild and uninhibited wildness, and because of Luo's supervision, with some bookish atmosphere, such a mixed temperament is far from being comparable to the so-called son of Jiangmen or the children of the family.

Cui Shibalang, who has become the focus of the crowd on the streets and alleys, of course, is not only concerned in the market, but also the treasure in the eyes of the three aunts and six mothers-in-law because of his generous shots, and of course he will inevitably become a good match in the eyes of many young ladies to be married.

Cui Shibalang's kid is also the age of the beginning of love, if it weren't for his grandfather Cui Zhoushi's advice, he never wanted to find a Central Asian girl on the road to be his aunt, when he arrived in this Kaifeng Mansion, he could always see the beautiful Oriental girl in places like Fat Powder Street in his spare time, and there were many idlers on the street who repeatedly made noise, and he was very tempted.

The so-called no coincidence is not a book, and many factors come together to become an inevitability.

In this era of paying attention to the right family, a market figure like Cui Shibalang will naturally not have the opportunity to climb to the nobility of the high gate, but there is a special one here, Cui Shibalang's surname is Cui!

Although the Huangchao uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty killed many high-ranking families, the family has deep roots after all, and there are always branches and leaves left even in times of war. Similar to Cui Shibalang's team, which went overseas, there are always children from other families who have survived the war.

There is a scribe in the branch of the three divisions of the Yamen, surnamed Zhang Mingxian, the ancestor inherited from the Qinghe Zhang family, occasionally met Cui Shibalang, learned that he is a descendant of the Qinghe Cui family, and saw that he is different from the world, it happened that there was a young girl in his family who was passing and Xuan, so he discussed with Jin Qian, and was willing to marry the good of Qin and Jin.

Zhang Xian's daughter was born with a beautiful appearance, and Cui Shibalang also liked it very much, and after Jin Qian repaid Helton, he discussed with Zhang Xian, preparing to wait for Luo to arrive in Kaifeng, and then set up a marriage for the two.

At this time, the defense of etiquette and religion is far less rigorous than more than a hundred years later, the legacy of the former Tang Dynasty still remains, and the contact between Zhang's daughter and Cui Shibalang is not taboo.

Things are all happy and good things here, but everything goes smoothly may not be liked by God, and there must be some setbacks before people can be engraved in their hearts.

On the first day of the lunar month, it coincided with the Kaifeng market, Cui Shibalang took the Zhang girl and a few companions together, plus the market boy he got acquainted with wandered around the neighborhood, and happened to meet the noble Yang of the court, that Yang bumped into the Zhang girl, and laughed a few words, Cui Shibalang saw that the girl of love was molested, where was he willing to let it?

The so-called fight is not good, and when fighting together and not letting each other go, it is the best choice to do it. Although half of Cui Shibalang's team has seen blood, they are limited to Kaifeng Mansion and cannot wear blades and armor, and half of them are gangsters in the market, where have they seen bloodshed and fighting? And is there a dispute between the DPRK and China?

And that Yang is a noble in the court, he has always been domineering, and because of his identity, he can also lead guards with knives!

The two sides fight, if you only talk about fists and feet, of course, it doesn't matter, but after Cui Shibalang hit Yang with two punches, the other party was annoyed and angry, and ordered his subordinates to swing a knife and cut it, in the end, the other party only had two broken arms and legs, but Shibalang killed two on the spot, and then one was seriously injured, in addition to eleven people with minor and serious injuries, Cui Shibalang himself was stabbed in the chest.

……

After listening to the rough talk of Helton and Jin Qian in front of him, Luo Kaixian frowned and asked, "Who died?" What is the condition of the eighteenth injury? What about the others? ”

"Return to the general's ......" Helton took half a step forward, bowed down and said: "The dead are Shi Shun, Meng Qi and Lu Bangming from Herat, the injured are still recuperating in the manor, Eighteen Lang's injuries are the most serious, and he was in danger of being disemboweled, but fortunately, there is a method of sewing taught by the master before, and now there is no big problem......

"Then where did Yang come from? There is a major murder case, how does Kaifeng Mansion act? ”

Helton smiled bitterly and said, "General, after all, we are new to the city, and at the earliest time when the incident happened, no one even dared to tell us the name of the Yang surnamed Xungui, let alone the officials of Kaifeng Mansion...... Fortunately, they did not dare to act rashly, otherwise all foreign merchants would be in danger...... Five days after the accident, I learned that the surname Yang was surnamed Xungui and Yang Mingzhixin, which is said to have some connection with the inner palace of the Emperor of the Song Kingdom......"

Luo Kaixian's eyebrows wrinkled even deeper, he could imagine what the law of this era was, and he could also imagine the so-called protection of officials and officials, but he really didn't expect that it was just the early years of the Song Dynasty, the so-called most enlightened period of the Great Song Dynasty in the 'history books', the so-called nobles dared to kill people in the street without being punished, and the direct management of the government even concealed the news for the murderer! He couldn't help asking: "As far as I know, the Song State has the so-called Imperial History Observatory Speaker, who can hear about the story, and since there are people who fight for their lives and die, can there be people in the Song Dynasty?" ”

"Subordinate...... I haven't heard of it! Helton hesitated, and asserted: "Some merchants have advised their subordinates that the Qing and noble imperial history of the Song Kingdom is the most proud, and that they look down on all the Gentiles, and will not speak for us newcomers." The Admiral had been to Constantinople and should have known how the Roman elders had behaved, but his subordinates thought the two were similar. ”

Yes, the scholars and doctors of this era are proud, and the Han people of this era are confident, they do not believe that anyone can compare with their own race, as for outsiders? What is that, but it's just nonsense. Although he had not personally seen the highest ruling level of this era, it did not prevent Luo Kaixian from speculating about the situation he encountered.

And, obviously, the facts of the moment tell him the difference between reality and record.

After thinking seriously for a while, Luo Kaixian said abruptly: "Sit back, the responsibility for this matter is not yours!" Tell me what kind of person Zhang Xian is, and how he reacted after the eighteenth accident......"

Helton replied, and only then did he put half of his ass on the back chair with a somewhat sneering face, and Jin Qian, who had a somewhat cold personality, was even more like a red cloth. The former did not hesitate, and replied to Luo Kaixian's question: "Zhang Xian is only forty years old, he is only a scribe in the branch of the three divisions of the Song State who is in charge of money, he is cautious and meticulous, he has a wife and a concubine, two daughters, and a son, and it is the eldest daughter who wants to marry the eighteenth...... After Eighteen Lang was injured, he sent his daughter to the manor to take care of him personally, according to the Song people, it can be regarded as affectionate and righteous......"

Luo Kaixian's face was a little better, if Eighteen Lang wanted to be inhuman, this kind of conflict would be too unworthy.

Jin Qian, who was sitting quietly with a red face, said with some anger: "General, Zhang Xian's ancestral home is Qinghe, if his subordinates are not mistaken, he and the Zhang family in the camp should belong to the same clan, please also check the lord!" ”

Luo Kai was stunned for a moment, and then understood the details of this former lone hunter, "Hmm...... Jin Qian, you have a heart! Helton, what was the reaction of the people of Nowack? Has anyone ever interfered with the renovation of the manor? ”

"Back to the general, there is nothing wrong with Nowak himself, and the rest ...... or avoid suspicion or ...... Hmph......" Helton said halfway, then he couldn't say any more and said: "As for the manor, my subordinates have repaired the walls, and even sent people to dig traps and the like, with our weapons and crossbows, it is enough to resist the five hundred forbidden troops of the Song Kingdom." ”

Hearing this, Luo Kaixian calmed his mind, "Helton, businessmen have been pursuing profits, they have never been subordinate to us, and it doesn't matter if they are close or estranged!" The defense of the manor must not be slackened, the external enemy is unknown, and the internal enemy must be even more cautious! ”

"Internal enemy?" Helton asked.

"Not bad! You said that there are 84 peasant households in the manor, they are Song people, they don't know us, and they don't have a relationship of kindness, how can they be with us? I don't know what the dwellings are like in the manor, but you can't be negligent in your defenses, so how can you trust outsiders? Especially drinking water and eating, it cannot be handed over to outsiders, and it must be prevented from poisoning and arson! Luo Kai explained first.

"My subordinates understand!" Helton stood up and saluted again, sweat oozing from his face, not that he was not cautious, but that he was slackened by the prosperity and tranquility of Kaifeng Mansion.

Luo Kaixian also stood up and ordered: "Helton, take a rest, return to Kaifeng Mansion tomorrow morning, put aside other affairs for the time being, and be sure to beware of the safety of the manor!" ”

"Obey, Lord!" After agreeing, Helton asked with some hesitation, "...... What about Eighteen Lang? ”

"Don't worry, the day after tomorrow, at the latest two days, I will definitely lead the team to the manor, and everything will be said when I arrive! Well, Jin Qian stayed, and he was accompanied by a guide the day after tomorrow! Luo Kai arranged first.

Jin Qian's face turned red again, this time it was not shame and nervousness, but excitement - how could his own general have suffered a loss?
