Chapter 185: A Good Snake (Part II)

A few people entered the tea shop, and the people who were originally sitting and drinking tea in the tea shop all left silently. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yang Yaozong sat peacefully, and Liu Liu and his brothers all stood quietly with their hands tied. Behind Yang Yaozong, only the tall Liao Qiniang was standing. Ah Yi and Mu Qinghan sat at another table beside Yang Yaozong. The row of Turkic soldiers who followed Yang Yaozong dispersed to guard the tea shop tightly.

At this time, Liu Liu and the others, even if they were fools, were sure that this group of Turkic soldiers was following the man in front of them, and the identity of the man in front of them was obviously not something they could provoke.

Cha Xiaoer was frightened and arranged tea on Yang Yaozong's table and quietly retreated.

Yang Yaozong picked up the teapot, poured tea into the bowl in front of Liu Liu, and then poured tea for himself, looked up and said to Liu Liu with a smile: "Brother Liu, don't you want to drink tea?" Standing so restrainedly, but there is no sincerity at all! “

It's June 9 now, and although the weather is not as cold as 39, it's still freezing to the bone. But Liu Liu felt that the sweat stains on his back were dripping at the moment, and a lot of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, so he inadvertently wiped it with his sleeves, and the sleeves were stained with a thin layer of ice crystals.

The humble gentleman in front of him, who had a smile on his face and a calm attitude, caused him a sense of oppression that he had never felt before, and it was even more terrifying and depressing than when he faced those Hu people who could kill people without blinking an eye and eat the living.

Liu Liugan smiled dryly and reluctantly sat opposite Yang Yaozong.

Yang Yaozong took a sip of tea and said: "I listened to what Brother Liu said, Brother Liu, you should know the situation of this city very well!" “

Liu Liu nodded and said, "In the next ...... The villain does know Zhang Yecheng very well, that is, whose family lost the hen, whose widow stole the man, the villain is very detailed. I just don't know what Childe wants to know? ”

Mu Qinghan took a sip, but Ayi looked at Mu Qinghan's blushing face with a smile. Liao Qiniang, who was standing behind Yang Yaozong, had no change in her complexion, when she was the big boss, she naturally heard words that were even worse than this.

Yang Yaozong said in his heart that Liu Liu was so knowledgeable, no wonder he could be under the jurisdiction of no one here, and Zhang Ye, who was always harassed, made some famous names. "How many households are there in this city? What is the population? ”

"There are now 1,763 households in Zhangye City, and there are 5,379 people." Liu Liu groaned and hurriedly said: "No, there should be 5,377 people now, yesterday Hu Erniu in the east of the city died of tuberculosis, and Hua Pozi in the north of the city died." ”

Yang Yaozong looked at Liu Liu carefully, he looked like a thief in this life, but he was shrewd everywhere. Being able to grasp the affairs of so many people in the city in such detail is really extraordinary, which makes Yang Yaozong quite appreciative.

"Brother Liu, you drink it too, this tea tastes good."

Liu Liu nodded and smiled dryly, cautiously picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, moistening his throat, which was really a little tight.

"Is this the only main road in this city?"

"Zhangye is now the only main road, and all the people who do business are on this road, including the shops on both sides of this road for merchants to stay and stay on the top."

"Oh!" Yang Yaozong nodded and said: "I don't think there are many shops here, and there are only more than 100 of them, how can so many people in Zhangye City make a living?" “

"Gongzi doesn't know, there are more than 3,000 households in Zhangye in the early days, and the population is nearly 10,000 people, and the merchants and shops are not only these, but in recent years, they have ......" Liu Liu looked at the Turkic soldiers who were standing, suddenly stopped, and then said with a smile: "Zhangye City has Qilian Mountain in the south, Heli Mountain and Longshou Mountain in the north, and the Heihe River runs through the whole territory. Although he didn't make much money, he could barely make ends meet. ”

"So you don't bully the local people, but only pick up merchants from other places to get some money?" Yang Yaozong lowered his eyelids and boasted about the tea in the bowl.

"Villain...... Villains are also forced by life. Liu Liu wiped his cold forehead again, he only felt that the ice crystals formed by the fine sweat on his forehead could keep his mind clear, but it really hurt his brain.

"Big ...... Eldest brother! ”

Except for Liao Qiniang, who stared at Liu Liu and the others without squinting, everyone in the tea shop looked at the person outside the tea shop, only to see that the person had loose hair, led a horse, and looked anxiously into the tea shop, but he was forced to have a Turkic soldier handle at the door of the tea shop, and he didn't dare to enter.

"Childe, that man is the villain's brother."

"Oh! Call him in, and look at his anxious look, there must be something urgent to tell you. ”

The man with loose hair was let in, so he hurriedly ran to Liu Liu's side, bowed his head and whispered a few words to Liu Liu.

Liu Liu pondered for a moment after hearing this, and asked cautiously: "There is a large group of Turkic cavalry five miles outside the city, but are you with Gongzi all the way?" “

Yang Yaozong looked at the man with disheveled hair and looked at Liu Liu and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to send someone to pay attention to things outside the city." ”

Liu Liu smiled more and more respectfully: "The villain is also worried that the Turks will come suddenly, so if you know it earlier, you can make some preparations in advance." ”

"You've got some thoughts. The Turkic soldiers outside the city were indeed my people. It's just that we've been in the city for some time, so why did he come to repay you? Yang Yaozong said.

Liu Liu was sitting on pins and needles at the moment, and immediately got up, patted the head of the man with scattered hair on the case, and shouted, "Didn't you listen to what Gongzi asked you!" “

Seeing that his eldest brother was very cautious and respectful to the son in front of him, the man with disheveled hair hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The younger one and the other brothers have been following the orders of the eldest brother and living in a hidden mountain col ten miles outside the city, just to know in advance the number of people and horses attacked by the Turks, so that the eldest brother can take precautions in the city. The younger one remembers you, Childe, and only regards Childe as a merchant who trades with the Western Regions, and the Tao does not associate you with those Turkic soldiers. The little one saw that these Turkic cavalry stopped and pressed five miles outside the city, thinking about finding out more about the situation, but seeing that they didn't seem to want to enter the city, the little one immediately entered the city to inform the eldest brother, but there were two brothers outside the city who had been keeping an eye on those Turkic soldiers. “

Yang Yaozong nodded and smiled: "Liu Liu, aren't you worried that I am in the same group as those Turkic people who have been bullying the people for a long time?" Will you tell the Turks about the tricks you are so careful to guard against? ”

"Guan Gongzi's spirit is radiant and awe-inspiring, and the little one feels that Gongzi is not like a person who will obey the orders of the Turks."

"Oh? So what do you think I look like? ”

Liu Liu stared at Yang Yaozong cautiously, remembering what he had heard a few days ago, and said tentatively: "Childe...... Gongzi is like the grandson of the Great Zhou, the prophet of the Turks, and the master of this land. “

Yang Yaozong laughed loudly and said, "Liu Liu, you are a good snake!" “
