Chapter 115: Miscellaneous Matters

"Just now, Mr. Du Dart talked about your senior brother, dare to ask Mr. Du Dart's senior brother is Du Rufeng Du Jing, who is known as Du Rufeng and Du Jing, who is known as a fast gun like a dragon?"

On the main seat, Dewey's expression was slightly stunned, and then he nodded: "Yes, Gongzi has really seen people, my senior brother is really known as Du Jing of the fast gun!" ”

Liu Zhi nodded and didn't speak anymore. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason why he remembered this Du Jing was actually related to the fact that he had arranged this Langya list at the beginning, when there were endless fierce generals in the world, but there were not many people who could be on the list, among them there was a guy named Du Jing who made a spear and gave him a headache for a while, this guy was originally unknown, and no one would notice him.

At that time, just a month before Langya Bang came out, this Du Jing single-handedly picked a bandit village called Sanshui Mountain near Tongguan.

This Sanshui Mountain is not famous, the mountain is not big, the location is better at that time, close to the trade road near Tongguan, passing by from Tongguan, most of the merchants who go to Chang'an and Luoyang are going to pass through this road, and there is a group of strongmen in this Sanshui Village, they occupy Sanshui Mountain, set up a cottage here, specifically rob the caravan in the past, causing the anger of the heavens, and the caravan in the past can not help but be worried whenever they pass here.

After the government learned the news, it sent the army to the expedition, but at that time the whole country had signs of erosion, the army in the army was disheartened, it was difficult to fight, and the army of the crusade against Sanshui Village was defeated by the creditor Luan Tiesheng, this Luan Tiesheng looked five big and three thick, but his mind was very delicate, he knew who could be provoked, who could not be provoked, so after this time the army was suppressed, other armies soon came, but he was always able to act at the opportunity, and he was able to escape smoothly, and no one could do anything to him for a while.

And at this time, there was a chivalrous man named Du Jing, who killed Sanshui Mountain with a single gun, and picked a cottage by himself, killed Luan Tiesheng and a group of bandits, and restored the law and order situation in this area.

One person killed the mountain and picked the other party's entire cottage, such a thing sounds exaggerated, although there are not many people on the other side, Sanshui Village is not a big village like Shuibo Liangshan, but there are at least one hundred or ten small minions on the mountain, plus Luan Tiesheng is also a master, with one enemy hundred, this kind of thing sounds exciting, and in the end, Du Jing not only did it, but also retreated.

It was also at that time that Liu Zhi was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to compile such a fierce man into his Langya list, but in the end, for various reasons, this idea was scrapped, but this Du Jing also left some deep impressions in his heart, at this time Du Wei said it, Liu Zhi immediately thought of the previous person.

Dewey was very curious about Liu Zhi's knowledge of his senior brother, but this was just curiosity, his senior brother had a great reputation in Luoyang, although it was not that he was famous all over the world, but it was also known from far and near, so the other party had heard of his fame, and it was not a strange thing, so he was only slightly surprised and then returned to normal.

"Mr. Du, we came this time to ask the dart bureau to press a dart for us, I don't know if the dart bureau is convenient!"

During this period of time, the business of Chang'an City is actually not good, after Tongguan was sealed, the trade route was cut off by half, and the land of Bashu Jingxiang was still fighting, and there were some trade routes that were affected, but at this time the merchants from the Western Regions or wanted to go to the Western Regions also decreased a lot, it is said that a large army came to the Western Regions, the current situation is somewhat complicated, many merchants are still waiting, do not dare to go easily, so as not to ensure the safety of property and life.

So at this time, if there is a business coming to the door, unless it is a particularly difficult and cost-effective business, they will basically not refuse.

"Oh? Childe, do you want to dart? Please also tell me in detail, which way to go, what kind of goods to press, how far the distance is, you have to say these situations more carefully, so that we can estimate for you according to the situation you said, you see? ”

When Dewey saw that the other party was here to do business, he put on a business appearance and began to talk about business.

"Well, it should be so, but I didn't make it clear here, Mr. Du's dart head is not strange, not strange!"

"Where, where, Childe, please speak!"

Liu Zhi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "We are going to Gaochang this time, there are not many accompanying goods, only the weight of a carriage, and the ancient road to the west, Mr. Du should be more familiar than me, the journey, it will take more than half a year to come and go, Mr. Du, if you can take this order, then the price is good, oh, by the way, we need about five to eight dart masters!" ”

Dewey was slightly disappointed in his heart, he originally saw that the other party was extraordinary, presumably a big order, but he didn't expect that the other party was just a team of tourists, there was no goods, but the three of them were going to Gaochang, this road was quite far, and the conditions on the road were very difficult, the road was very difficult, the income was not very large, there was no goods, even if he was going to a hundred dart masters, there was no oil and water, but no matter how small the mosquito was, it was meat, and it was better to have business than nothing.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Dewey said that there was no problem, this business could be accepted, but the price was a little high, and his asking price was three hundred taels of silver.

One hundred taels of silver is probably more than 70,000 yuan in later generations, this price is not very expensive, if they are out of the customs, this price is only afraid that it will rise tenfold, of course, this is the price of going west, if you walk around in the Central Plains, the price is far less expensive.

The fifty-five countries in the Western Regions, the situation is complicated, the roads are dangerous, and the people who have to risk their lives when walking with darts on the road are really licking blood on the tip of the knife, so this price Liu Zhi can accept.

I thought that the other party might make it difficult, but I didn't expect that the matter would be negotiated so quickly, at this time it was still early, so the three of them decided to have lunch outside first and then go back, anyway, it would be fine after going back, maybe after lunch, they could go to see a play and listen to music.

Although the Qinglou tavern in the Sui and Tang dynasties was not as prosperous as the two Song Dynasty, after all, there was already a trend of development, like a general restaurant, when the guests ate in the hall, the store would arrange for the geisha to come and play a few songs, and like the kind of guests who chartered the private room, most of them would choose some young women with good looks and talents to perform, most of these women were geisha who had sold their bodies, and they were not very old, most of them were between the ages of twelve or thirteen to twenty, and the age of marriage for women in ancient times was early. Generally, they start to marry at the age of fourteen, and if they can't marry after the age of eighteen, they will become older leftover girls, and they will even violate the law and be forced to marry by the government.

The two came to a restaurant in the West Market, the name of the restaurant did not pay attention, it seems to be called what Surabaya House, the name is a little antique, but the guests inside are elegant and do not come, the West Market was originally a place where the pawns and traders haunted the market, they did not read much, plus the place of Guanzhong, the people are more arrogant, so the first floor of the restaurant is very lively, and even a little noisy.

The three of them came to the third floor, where the view near the railing was very good, and they looked comfortable eating here, this feeling Liu Zhi liked very much, and Fang Xingtian and Xiao Junru also seemed to like it.

"Childe, then Dewey lied to you!"

Xiao Junru seemed to be worried about something all the way, and finally said it at this time, but Liu Zhi, who was still very curious about what was going on in her heart, and when he saw her talking and stopping along the way, he himself felt a little funny, and thought in his heart: I want to see if you say it or not, and what makes you mind it so much!

"Oh? Is it? How did he deceive me? ”

Although there are fewer people on the third floor, they no longer call Liu Zhi "Pavilion Master" in private, if people listen to this, most of them will also have doubts about Liu Zhi's identity, more is better than less things, it is better to be cautious, so Liu Zhi told the two of them before, after going out, they will call themselves sons, and they can't call themselves pavilion masters, so as not to show their stuffing.

"Humph! He deceived you that you don't know the market of dart escort, so the lion opened his mouth wide and opened a sky-high price of 300 yuan, which is unimaginable in Luoyang City, this person is very greedy! ”

The little girl seems to know a lot about what's going on inside, right? But she's only seven and a half years old, and she's from that kind of family before, how did she get into this kind of thing? Liu Zhi is curious!

Liu Zhi remained silent, poured himself a bowl of tea, and also poured half a bowl for Xiao Junru, this tea tastes more bitter to drink, but it can relieve the heat, after drinking it first bitter and then sweet, it has a different taste.

"This goes to Gaochang, all the way is a dangerous road, outside the Guansai, compared to Guannei, the Central Plains and other places, he asked for three hundred taels, in fact, it is not particularly expensive, this is a time of war, and peacetime can not be compared, if it is a peacetime, of course he asks for this price I am very unhappy, but now is not a special period? In fact, if we don't go to the Western Regions, we don't need to hire a dart master at all, and there is no danger in walking by ourselves. ”

The main reason why Xiao Junru cares so much is that Liu Zhi knows.

Originally, with his own and Fang Xingtian's martial arts, this trip to the Western Regions was very convenient, and the two of them rode quickly, and it only took about a month to arrive, but because she was by her side, she could ride a horse, but obviously she couldn't ride for a long time, and she was relatively young, and she had no martial arts, and her body was weak and couldn't stand the bumps and bitter cold along the way, so she needed to bring all kinds of complete supplies, such as tents, thick blankets and even carriages, which could be said to be prepared for her.

If the two of them set off without her following, naturally they would not have to call the dart master, so she felt that she had dragged down Liu Zhi and the two, and when she saw that Dewey had charged several times more than usual, she became more and more uncomfortable.

Liu Zhi can see through this, he can't help the little girl think like this, but this matter, to be honest, is indeed related to her, but he is not very anxious to go to the Western Regions this time, walk slowly, look at the scenery along the road, stop and go, just think of it as a trip! At this time, the desertification of the land in Hexi and even Gaochang is far less serious than that of later generations, and the scenery along the way is very pleasant, walking slower and seeing some scenery is not bad, so he did not blame or dislike Gao Junru in his heart, but she thought about it herself, and drilled the tip of the horns.

patted her head, Liu Zhi said: "Don't think about it, the two of us went to the Western Regions, and we went all the way, and we couldn't enjoy a lot of scenery, and we couldn't enjoy the scenery, and we were naturally not prepared for proper comfort, and if you were by our side, the three of us would have more fun, you were our pistachio, just like Zhu Bajie, who learned scriptures from the Tang monk and apprentice in the West!" ”

Liu Zhi made a good-natured joke, but Xiao Junru was very faceless, looked puzzled, and asked with a small face: "Childe, who is Tang Seng and apprentice?" What's going on with learning scriptures from the west? This Zhu Bajie? Is it a thing or a rule? ”

Liu Zhi patted his head, there is indeed something to learn from the scriptures in the west, but the time is a little worse, that is the first year of Zhenguan, that is, in 627 AD, it is only 614 years now, there is still a wish, there are still more than ten years, although Xuanzang has been born, but he is only a teenager, it is naturally impossible to learn the scriptures, and this world seems to be slightly different from the world in history, Xuanzang will not go to the west or not, but it is not good.

"Well, you don't even know that, huh? This is the story in the Fengshen List Alas, look at you, you must have studied hard when you were a child, and you didn't even know this, you disappointed me so much! ”

Liu Zhi pretended to be distressed, and the look on Xiao Junru's face was even more strange, she hadn't heard of a bunch of things Liu Zhi just said, she read a lot when she was a child, so she wouldn't have read hard when she was a child like Liu Zhi said, and she was still a child! hasn't grown up yet, and the books are still reading, but the books I have read recently are not like the books on the ideological and cultural essence of the sages that my grandfather asked her to live in the past, but have been replaced by some miscellaneous treatises recommended to her by Liu Zhi, these things don't seem to be famous books, but the content in them is still quite useful, she likes it after reading it, and Liu Zhi's research in this area is obviously very profound, so she often pesters Liu Zhi and asks him to explain it to herself, so at this time, I think, maybe he said that he didn't read, Didn't you read about it when you didn't read it?

Liu Zhi secretly scolded himself in his heart at this time, so he said a Journey to the West, and another Romance of the Gods, both of which are novels of the Ming Dynasty, and they are both mythological novels. (To be continued.) )
