Chapter 34: People are good and others are deceived

It was already dusk when we arrived at the Kitahara Tea Horse Market. The Beiyuan Tea and Horse Market, which had been closed for more than ten years, suddenly opened, making this deserted city lively all of a sudden.

The guards at the gates were impatient, and at first they were able to scrutinize the people entering the city and the goods they were carrying. But there were so many people entering the city, and when it was nearly dusk, the soldiers at the gate were tired of this monotonous and busy work, and only hoped that the closing time would come early, and when they searched for it, they just looked at it and let them go, put the people into the urn city, and threw the trouble to the guards in the urn city.

Kitahara Castle is not big, but it is definitely not small. At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, Beiyuan City was the first batch of open tea and horse markets in Liaodong, and the construction of Beiyuan City was very particular, with watchtowers, urn cities, enemy platforms, and artificial moats.

Due to the relaxation of the search and inspection by the guards, the queue in front of He Tengxiao became shorter and shorter. He Tengxiao's team quickly stepped across the suspension bridge and waited for a caravan in front of them to complete the search. After this caravan was searched, it was his caravan's turn.

He Tengxiao was now on the suspension bridge, and the waiting time made people feel quite bored, so he looked down at the artificial moat under his feet. There was no water in the moat, only a patch of snow-white snow.

"Hey, hey! It's your turn, what to think () (bar)! Don't delay Lao Tzu's time, when the closing time comes, even if you are the king of heaven, Lao Tzu will not let you enter the city! The guard who looked like a small flag at the city gate spoke disrespectfully to He Tengxiao. He Tengxiao didn't wear a military uniform, he was dressed in an ordinary short brown outfit that was no different from ordinary people, and the disrespectful Xiaoqi only thought that he was an ordinary person, and he spoke very politely.

Chang Qing saw that the little flag was disrespectful to He Tengxiao, so he rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush up to reason with the little flag who didn't know what to do.

He Tengxiao stopped Chang Qing, and the little flag saw Chang Qing roll up his sleeves and became energetic: "Yo he! Dare to roll up your sleeves and show your arms in front of you, I'm phew! ”

The ten guards guarding the door had been holding back their anger for a long time, and they all gathered around when they saw someone stirring up.

The people who were doing good things in the back poked their heads to see the excitement.

"This military master, my brother is ignorant, he has offended the military master, he has offended a lot, the little one makes amends to the military master, and I hope that the military master will be tolerant." He Tengxiao apologized.

"Damn, roll up your sleeves to fuck Lao Tzu, it's up to the fuck to be guilty of this matter?!" Xiaoqi saw that He Tengxiao was soft, and only thought that He Tengxiao was ****, and his arrogance was even more arrogant.

"Then Master Jun, look at this." He Tengxiao said as he reached into his collar and pulled something into his collar.

That Xiaoqi was happy when he saw that He Tengxiao was going to take something out of his collar, but he was a timid and afraid person, and he wanted to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster. Xiao Qi secretly thought about how to knock He Tengxiao hard.

An obedient guard behind Xiao Qi noticed more than thirty high-headed horses with snorts behind He Tengxiao. These horses can be seen by ordinary people as handsome, how can there be more than 30 handsome people who are good at bullying these years?

The obedient soldier leaned into Xiao Qi's ear and whispered: "Xiao Qi, this group of people is not small, let's let them go." ”

Where did the little flag listen? The city of Kitahara has been closed to the tea and horse market for more than ten years, and the city of Kitahara is a city that completely relies on the rise of the tea and horse trade. There was no tea and horse trade, and the city quickly fell into the cold, and when the guards of the North Plains City did not open the tea and horse market, it was a hard job, and there was no oil and water. Where will Xiaoqi give up the opportunity to exploit He Tengxiao in front of him?

Xiao Qi impatiently asked the subordinate to retreat, and watched with interest as He Tengxiao was about to take something out of his arms.

He Tengxiao took out a gold-waisted card from his collar, revealing only the corner of the gold-waisted card. Xiao Qi saw He Tengxiao take out the gold from his arms, and without thinking about it, he directly reached out and grabbed He Tengxiao's waist card.

After winning the gold waist medal, Xiaoqi's face suddenly shriveled, like a deflated ball. Although he was illiterate, he also recognized this as a waist card, and at first Xiaoqi still held the luck that this was a fake waist card. By the time he saw the pattern on the waist tag, his face froze. The waist card is carved with a delicate tiger ornament, the small flag is illiterate, and he does not recognize the words in the middle of the waist card, but he recognizes this pattern. According to the military system of the Great Zhao, military attachés from battalion generals to the rank of staff general use gold waist plates to distinguish the ranks of the two with patterns and ornaments. The battalion will use the leopard totem as the ornament, and the ginseng will use the tiger totem as the ornament. This is a general's waist card!

A cold sweat broke out on Xiaoqi's forehead, the highest martial artist in Beiyuan City was a battalion general, and the martial arts position of this person in front of him was one level higher than that of the Beiyuan battalion general. Xiaoqi was stunned in the distance, holding this hot waist card in his hand and at a loss.

"Please also ask this military master to let him go." He Tengxiao withdrew the waist card from the stunned Xiaoqi's hand, and said with a smile.

The little flag was in a hurry to let him go, and he didn't even dare to inspect it, so he immediately ordered his men to let him go.

The guards looked confused, not knowing what was going on, and Xiaoqi turned his face faster than he could turn a book. didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly let He Tengxiao's team enter the urn city.

"Horses are good at being ridden, people are good at being bullied, if you want others not to bully you, you must be strong when you should be strong." After entering the urn city, He Tengxiao put away the waist card he borrowed from He Shihu and said to Ling Feng. Ling Feng was silent. Evergreen is blunt.

The search of the urn city is stricter than that of the outer city, because it is almost the closing time, the guards of the urn city search very quickly, hastily checked He Tengxiao's goods without any problems, and happily let He Tengxiao enter the city.

After entering the city, it is another scene, because it is still the time when the horse market is open, and the streets of Kitahara Castle are bustling. There are many stalls on both sides of the street, some are Han Chinese stalls, and some are stalls set up by people from the ancient tribes.

He Tengxiao led the horse and walked on the streets of Beiyuan City, looking at the stalls on both sides of the street, thinking about what could be bought.

There is a small stall under the eaves of the corner door, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Han girl sits on the small stone steps under the eaves, supporting her face with her hands, and watching the people on the street with clear eyes.

He Tengxiao stopped in front of the little girl's booth. When the little girl saw a guest coming, she was no longer in a daze, she stood up with her skirt and blinked two clear eyes: "What do the guests want to buy?" ”

The stalls are neatly arranged with small handicrafts such as puppets, paper cuts, window flowers, and horn combs. He Tengxiao took a few handicrafts in his hands and played with them for a while, these small handicrafts are exquisitely made, and you can see that the people who make these handicrafts are ingenious.

"You did all this? It's well done, it's a clever hand. He Tengxiao picked up a horn comb and carefully admired it.

"Most of these things are made by my mother, only some are made by me, my mother is sick, and she takes advantage of the opening of the tea and horse market to sell them in front of her house to earn some money for medicine." The little girl's voice was clear and beautiful, as soft as a hollow valley.

"How much does this horn comb cost?" He Tengxiao asked, he remembered that Yuan Zhengyu broke the comb teeth when combing his hair a month ago, and planned to buy a horn comb back to give to Yuan Zhengyu.

"Five pennies." The little girl stretched out her fingers, which were as thin as onions, and made a five-five gesture.

He Tengxiao stretched out his hand and touched the blanket, his expression was embarrassed, his blanket was filled with more than five taels of silver, it was impossible to directly throw a five taels of silver to the little girl, the little girl was just doing a small business, and she couldn't find it if she threw five taels of silver. He Tengxiao looked at the little girl's two eyes as clear as a clear spring, and he couldn't bear to take out a piece of silver to hurt a young girl's self-esteem.

"I forgot to bring the silver, do you have five cents on you, borrow me first, and pay you back." Chang Qing was closest to He Tengxiao, and He Tengxiao turned sideways to borrow money from Chang Qing. Chang Qing is a rough man, he doesn't understand He Tengxiao's thoughts, He Tengxiao's coat has silver, why do you want to borrow money from him. Chang Qing didn't understand He Tengxiao's intentions, and stood in place blankly, looking at He Tengxiao in a daze.

"Little Third Master, I have five texts here." Ling Feng was still careful, took out a handful of coppers, counted out five coppers, and slapped them on He Tengxiao's hand.

He Tengxiao smiled and handed the five coppers to the little girl's palm. The little girl bowed her head and whispered thank you, and took He Tengxiao's silver taels. He Tengxiao accidentally exposed a corner of the silver waist card, and the little girl looked down to see that the rope on He Tengxiao's waist card had been broken. Wait a minute with He Tengxiao, bow his head and pick out a brand-new rope from the stall, point to He Tengxiao's waist card and say, "The rope of your waist card is broken, and this rope is considered to be the horn comb you bought and gave to you." It is not easy to lose the waist card with a rope. ”

He Tengxiao thanked the little girl and accepted the rope she sent. I thought to myself, in the end, it is a little girl who has never been in the world, her heart is so simple, so clear and flawless.

Ling Feng asked He Tengxiao to wait, and also pretended to select goods from the little girl's stall, He Tengxiao smiled knowingly, knowing that Ling Feng intended to help this little girl. The booth was relatively small, and He Tengxiao moved to stand under the eaves to make room for Ling Feng to choose goods.

When Ling Feng was selecting the goods, out of nowhere, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old barbarian girl came out of nowhere, dressed in a rather gorgeous costume, holding the little girl's hand and talking to the little girl, the two of them seemed to be close friends. The little girl saw that Ling Feng was also bored when she was picking out the goods on the cat's waist, so she chatted with the little barbarian girl, and the little barbarian girl picked out two headdresses from the stall and took out a few coppers from the small bag around her waist and gave them to the little girl.

The little barbarian girl was half a head taller than the little girl, and the little girl stood on the steps and stood on tiptoe to lift the hairstyle of the little barbarian girl's hair, and put the hairstyle on the little barbarian girl. Take out a small close-fitting bronze mirror and take a picture of the little barbarian girl.

The little barbarian girl fiddled with her hair in front of the bronze mirror and let out a crisp laugh like a silver bell. Ling Feng picked out a few pieces of wood and a few beautifully cut window flowers and asked the little girl the price. The little girl quoted the price, and Ling Feng lit the copper and handed it to her.

At this moment, there was a shouting sound in the downtown area, and dozens of soldiers rushed to several stalls on the side of the road. Three or five soldiers rushed to the little girl's stall like wolves. The little girl hurriedly cleaned up the stall, but it was too late, and the five soldiers were already standing in front of the little girl's stall.

He Tengxiao frowned, thinking: This is the urban management of this time and space?
