Here is called the Chuanyun Station, from the nearest county seat is also fifty miles away, from here not far away is the Cloud Valley, after the Cloud Valley has to walk another forty miles to reach Qianwei County, the post guard Li Er at the door saw the caravan from a distance, turned his head and shouted at the door: "Wang Tou'er, come to business." ”

In the eyes of these post guards, the post station is no longer a special institution set up by the government, but has become an inn opened by their partnership, they are most welcome is the caravan from the south to the north, there is no village here, there is no store behind, the post station is the only choice for these caravans to stay, in fact, not only Yizhou, even in Jingzhou, the post station will stay in the caravan, the difference is that the money obtained by the post station stay caravan in Jingzhou is to be handed over to the government, and the income from these post station caravans in Yizhou will be privately divided by the post guards,

Called "Wang Touer" is the post of the cloud station, don't underestimate this post man, this is a fat shortage, because of the special geographical location of the cloud station, his annual income is only a lot more than the county order, in the eyes of Wang Yi Cheng, the caravan from the south to the north is his food and clothing parents, listening to Li Er's shout, he also quickly walked out of the door, hand on the pergola to look into the distance,

The caravan was getting closer and closer, and he could already see the faces of the people on the opposite side, Wang Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Li Er: "Tell everyone to clean up the room and prepare some wine and food, it is the old customer who is here." ”

The so-called old patrons, is often on this road, Wang Yicheng favorite reception is these people, they are used to this road, familiar with the rules of the post station, do not need you to talk more, naturally know how to settle the bill, in fact, this caravan today is not how old the patrons, that is, it has only appeared on this road in the past two months, but they are generous, never bargain, the post soldiers like these people,

The caravan soon came to the gate of the inn, and the leader jumped off his horse, walked quickly to Wang Yicheng, and casually stuffed him with a piece of silver, and said, "Wang Tou'er, the old rules, good guest rooms, arrange three rooms for us." ”

Wang Yicheng looked behind him, this caravan was the same as usual, it was still composed of twelve people, four people in each room, exactly three, he basically knew all the people in the caravan, even if he couldn't name it, but he was somewhat familiar, some people saw him, and they had already "Wang Tou'er is good, Wang Tou'er is good", and greeted him very warmly,

If it were to be said, Wang Yicheng would definitely welcome them into the post station very enthusiastically, but today, he said with a sad face: "Oh, Zhao shopkeeper, I'm really embarrassed, I don't know if you are coming today, there is a team of merchants in the station first, and let them occupy the upper room, or you will take a few generals." ”

Zhao's shopkeeper's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Wang Tou'er, we have an old relationship, this money has never been given to you any time, you can't hide the room and not let us live, if you don't sleep well this night, you won't be able to rush tomorrow." ”

Wang Yicheng said with a smile on his face: "Shopkeeper Zhao, what is our relationship, how can I lie to you, today is indeed the first to come a group of guests, otherwise, you will know when you enter the station, today a first will be the first, and the old brother will accompany you to drink two cups in the evening." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao changed his smiling face and said, "Okay, I'll believe you once, I'll treat you to the wine at night, but you have to take care of these animals." ”

"You don't have to tell me, that's as it should be." Wang Yicheng turned his head and shouted into the post station, "Brothers, come out and help Shopkeeper Zhao unload the goods and lead the livestock, and Shopkeeper Zhao invites everyone to drink at night." ”

In addition to Wang Yicheng and Li Er, there are seven post guards in Chuanyunyi, and when they heard that the shopkeeper Zhao invited him to drink at night, he suddenly came to the spirit, and all ran out at once, pulling the cattle and moving the boxes, and the people who moved the boxes were more hard than the people brought by the shopkeeper Zhao himself.

Shopkeeper Zhao glared at Wang Yicheng angrily, and said: "I only promised to invite you to drink alone, when will it become inviting everyone to drink, you, you just want to change the way to get my money." ”

Wang Yicheng was secretly proud in his heart, not only did he eat and drink tonight, but he could also earn a lot of money from this wine and food, and in the face of the white eyes of the shopkeeper Zhao, he was naturally not angry at all, and said with a smile: "Who is your shopkeeper Zhao, who is thicker than our waist when you pull out the roots, eat you, that is to help you accumulate virtue and do good." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao patted Wang Yicheng's shoulder, laughed, and said: "Wang Tou'er, your mouth, even if you are dead, you will be allowed to live, yes, don't talk nonsense, everyone hurry up and work, don't get drunk for a while." ”

At night, the lights are bright in the cloud station, the hall is a place to eat, the tables and chairs in Yizhou are not popular, everyone is sitting on the ground, although they eat in the same hall, the treatment is very different, Wang Yicheng and Zhao shopkeeper are two groups of people, the cases in front of them are full of good wine and meat, and a caravan that came first, there are also six or seven people, but there are only porridge and pickles on the cases in front of them,

Another caravan actually often goes from the side of the cloud station, but the leading horse shopkeeper is extremely stingy, and he always has to bargain for half a day every time, so Wang Yicheng did not classify them as a patron, today's dinner, Wang Yicheng brought out the good wine and good food that entertained the past officials in the post station, just to be angry with this horse shopkeeper in person, not to mention, this wool is out of the sheep, anyway, there is Zhao Shopkeeper to pay, the better and more expensive the food, the more he earns,

After three rounds of wine here, the porridge on the side of the horse shopkeeper began to be served, and the men under the horse shopkeeper were all on fire, but when they saw the big bowl of wine on the opposite side, they ate meat, and they were all greedy.

Shopkeeper Zhao took a sip of wine, pursed his lips, turned his head to Wang Yicheng and said: "Wang Tou'er, as the saying goes, rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out. ”

Wang Yicheng is going to embarrass the shopkeeper today, so even the porridge is deliberately served slowly, let him wait there, watching his people eat and drink, swallowing saliva, listening to the shopkeeper Zhao said that he wants to serve them good wine and food, Wang Yicheng was not happy, but when he heard that the money was paid by the shopkeeper Zhao, he smiled on his face again, if you don't make money, it is a fool, how can you not do the business sent to the door,

However, Wang Yicheng still played a trick, and the wine they sent to the shopkeeper was mixed with water, even so, the shopkeeper still brought a group of men to thank him, as long as he didn't spend his money, even if he invited him to drink horse urine, he didn't have an opinion,

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the horse shopkeeper packed up their things and continued to hurry, and when they walked to the door of the post station, they saw Li Er leaning against the wall in a careless manner.

The shopkeeper asked, "Second Brother Li, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Er didn't even raise his eyelids, and said hoarsely: "I didn't sleep until the third watch yesterday, and I haven't woken up yet, so you have to hurry, and I didn't let you quarrel." ”

The shopkeeper stretched out his head to look inside, and asked again: "I don't know if the shopkeeper Zhao has gotten up, I want to go in and say thank you." ”

Li Er said angrily: "You think it's all like you, you get into the eyes of money, and you don't let people sleep peacefully, the shopkeeper Zhao is still asleep at this time." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was in the middle of his heart, he didn't get up, so he had to nod again, and hurriedly greeted the guys: "Everyone move quickly, get on the road, go on the road." ”

Looking at the distant back of the shopkeeper and his party, Li Er, who had been languishing, suddenly opened his eyes and shot out two rays of fine light.

Inside the post station, a post guard walked up to Wang Yicheng, who was closing his eyes in the hall, stretched out his hand and made a cutting gesture on his neck, and asked in a low voice: "Zhao Tou'er, why don't you ...... the horse shopkeeper?"

Wang Yicheng's face sank, and he said: "You have all forgotten the words of the lord, indiscriminately killing innocents, do you want to go to a military court." ”

At a cursory glance at this person's appearance, it is the same as Wang Yicheng, but the voice is clearly the voice of Zhao's shopkeeper.

At noon, a fast horse galloped straight through the cloud post, and when he arrived at the door of the post station, the soldier on the horse turned over and jumped down, threw the reins into the hands of "Li Er", and said: "Eight hundred miles of military information, one hundred thousand urgent, hurry up and prepare the horse." ”

"Li Er" promised to lead the horse, stretched out his hand to make a "please", and said, "This brother, go drink saliva first, moisten your throat, and it will be fine immediately." ”

When the soldier heard this, he also felt a little thirsty, and raised his feet and entered the post station, and a post man had already brought a bowl of cold water, and the soldier took the water, drank it all, and was about to urge him to prepare his horse quickly, but he felt that the sky was spinning, and he fell to the ground with a "plop".

"Wang Yicheng" didn't even look at him, and said coldly: "Drag it to the back and slaughter it." ”

This soldier is from Zizhong County, he was confused and made a ghost, Liu Yan attaches great importance to agriculture, Yizhou farmers are said to be better than other states and counties, relatively better, and they are extraordinarily industrious, Zizhong County has early farmers found that a large group of people came from afar, and hurriedly reported to the lieutenant chief, and the lieutenant hurriedly ran to the county, and reported to the county commander Zhang Qin of Zizhong County, Zhang Qin did not know where these horses came from, so he had to hurriedly order to quickly close the city gate that had just been opened, and at the same time sent fast horses to the county to report to the county, but where did he know, My own emergency documents will never reach Qianwei County,

And that team of men and horses did not have any banners, and did not attack the county seat of Zizhong, but just bypassed the county seat very calmly, and even the crops in the fields were not trampled on in the slightest, Zhang Qin stood on the city tower, looking at the dust and smoke rolling north, confused, I don't understand who this team is,

Seeing this team going farther and farther, Zhang Qin's mood also relaxed, and he ordered to open the city gate again, and he rushed back to the county government to make up for the return to sleep, right here, a team suddenly appeared quietly in the south of the county seat,
