Chapter 0051: The First Fall of the Reckless Man
The three teenagers were all gathered to speak, Li Shimin raised his hand back, and the three of them suddenly quieted down, Li Shimin said unhurriedly: "We are also responsible for the loss of the restaurant, so we won't mention the money and things, but your buddy attacked us for no reason, I only hope you can apologize to us." ”
"But you punished him too, didn't you? I don't believe that his blue nose and swollen face were all the result of a fight. Zhang Xuan looked at Li Shimin indifferently.
Zhang Xuan's mind is keen, he knows that Cheng Yanjin cherishes his face very much, even if he fights, he will protect his face, there is only one possibility that he is beaten and his nose is blue and his face is swollen, his hands are bound, of course, it may be other reasons, Zhang Xuan said very seriously, but his tone was a little tentative.
Li Shimin is a teenager after all, where can he compare with Zhang Xuan's cunning, his face turned slightly red, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at Li Yuanji, it was Li Yuanji who beat Cheng Jin.
Zhang Xuan's eyes are so old and spicy, he immediately caught the corner of Li Shimin's eyes, and he also saw Li Yuanji standing aside, this young man is about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a strong figure, although his appearance is not ugly, but his appearance is very vicious, especially his eyes are very distinctive, with many whites and small pupils, which are commonly known as snake eyes, which are very cold and vicious.
Zhang Xuan suddenly became a little interested in these four teenagers, and he was about to ask each other, when Chai Shao rode back to the inn, Chai Shao recognized several brothers from afar, and shouted: "Shimin, Yuanji, are you here to find me?" ”
This sentence made everyone stunned, Zhang Xuan was secretly surprised in his heart, it turned out that they were Li Shimin's brothers, the young man in front of him was Li Shimin, and the young man with vicious eyes next to him was Li Yuanji, needless to say, this black charcoal boy is the famous Li Xuanba.
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but glance at Li Xuanba again, he really couldn't see that he was carrying peerless martial arts, but his figure was a little taller and stronger than ordinary people, and his appearance was not amazing at all, but Li Shimin's calm and calm bearing left a deep impression on him.
And who is the other person? Zhang Xuan looked at Li Xiaogong, looking at his age, it was definitely not Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng is now in Wagangzhai!
Li Shimin's brother was also surprised, it turned out that his brother-in-law also lived here, Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward to salute Chai Shao, glanced at Zhang Xuan, and asked in a low voice: "Brother-in-law knows this person?" ”
"We came from Luoyang together, how could we not know each other? Just now, your father had a very happy conversation with this Li Gongzi. ”
Li Shimin secretly shouted that it was not good, this time it was a big trouble, and he actually beat his brother-in-law's friend, he stepped forward to give Zhang Xuan a deep salute, "Shimin doesn't know that Brother Tai is a friend of his brother-in-law, and his words were disrespectful just now, and Shimin sincerely apologizes to Brother Tai." ”
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "This can be regarded as not knowing each other!" In Xia Zhang Xuan, he and Si Chang were in the Yan Wang's Mansion as a guard. ”
Li Shimin saw that Zhang Xuan didn't care about his rudeness just now, and his heart was happy, and he hurriedly introduced his brothers to Zhang Xuan one by one, and Zhang Xuan knew that this thin and tall young man turned out to be Li Xiaogong.
"Now that we know each other, let's go in and sit!" Chai Shao smiled and let them in.
Although Li Shimin really wanted to get to know Zhang Xuan, he thought of Cheng Biting Jin, it was impossible to apologize to that guy himself, and with Yuan Ji's temper, maybe there would be another fight, forget it, avoid embarrassment, let's talk about it next time!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin said apologetically: "Xuanba just came back, we have to accompany our mother to burn incense to restore, we have to rush back immediately, next time I come to visit, or invite Brother Zhang to the restaurant for a drink." ”
Zhang Xuan understood Li Shimin's mood very well, so he smiled and said: "Then it's a word, when we come back from the grassland, we will have a good drink." ”
In fact, Chai Shao also came back to get his luggage, his wife was still waiting for him, he couldn't delay any longer, since neither party wanted to talk in detail, then let's talk about it next time!
"You go back first, and I'll go back later."
Brother Li Shimin saluted Zhang Xuan, and then got into the carriage, the carriage quickly drove away, looking at the carriage in the distance, Chai Shao smiled and said: "How are my brothers-in-law?" ”
"Each has its own merits, the second generation of the people is quite a leader, and they will not be ordinary people in the future."
Of course, Zhang Xuan knows how proud Li Shimin is in history, and he is still his youth, but it is almost there.
But for some reason, a few days ago, Zhang Xuan was still thinking about how to get close to Li Yuan's father and son, but today the opportunity was in front of him, and he had no idea at all.
"All those who know Shimin say that he is an extraordinary young man, and you don't know what he does! I'll tell you about it later. ”
The two talked and laughed and walked into the inn compound.
........
Early the next morning, everyone set off again, stayed in Taiyuan for a day and a night, the team grew a lot, Zhao Shan bought another batch of goods, added fifty camels, even Zhang Xuan also had his own small caravan, fifteen camels and five hundred horses of fine silk, this is the most sought-after goods of the grassland, to rely on the relationship to buy the goods, if lucky, can be sold three times the high price.
Of course, his buddy is still only Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Yanjin missed eating the overlord meal yesterday, was beaten up, and lost face, but Zhang Xuan didn't talk about it at all, as if nothing had happened, and others ignored him in the first place, and now they ignore him even more.
Fortunately, Cheng Biting Jin's skin was thick enough, and he was only embarrassed for less than half a day, and then began to relapse again, giggling and laughing, and his face was not serious.
However, there are still changes, Cheng Yanjin began to enter the role of a buddy, perhaps because he was grateful to Zhang Xuan for saving his face, or maybe because the setback of Taiyuan Restaurant stabbed his self-esteem, and he didn't want to live the days of eating overlord meals anymore.
Cheng Yanjin has gradually changed a little, no longer as lazy as before, and began to load and unload like other guys, although he is not very active, he will slowly swallow his hands if Zhang Xuan shouts him a few times, but at least he is willing to work, and even Zhao Dan thinks he can stay in the team.
On this day, the team arrived at a town called Jinyang, it was evening, Zhao Dan chartered an inn, everyone began to unload, the goods into the room, although it is very troublesome to load and unload every day, but this is a must to do, otherwise the night thief, you will regret it.
As soon as Cheng Yanjin lay down, he was kicked in the ass by Zhang Xuan, "Unload the goods!" ”
"Let me rest a little longer!"
Cheng Yanjin supported his back with both hands, and pretended to be full of pain and said: "I feel that I am old, and I haven't touched a woman for a few months, but my back hurts."
Zhang Xuan ignored his complaints, and gave him another kick, ordering: "Stop talking nonsense, go to work!" ”
"O unconscionable proprietor!"
Cheng Biting Jin wailed, he was unwilling in his heart, unwilling in every way, but he still went to work in the yard.
Cheng Biting Jin was much more efficient than ordinary men, and it only took him a quarter of an hour to unload all the goods and carry them into the house, and then lead the camels to feed water and fodder.
It was rare for Zhang Xuan to see him working so hard, so he smiled at him and said: "In the future, these camels and goods will be handed over to you, do things well, and after making money, I will count you as one percent." ”
Cheng Yanjin's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is Childe's words serious?" ”
"Of course I won't lie to you!"
Cheng was overjoyed, and the little calculation in his heart immediately knocked up, and he heard Zhao Wudang say that these goods and camels cost a total of four hundred taels of gold, and if he had a component, it would be forty taels of gold.
Zhao Wudan also said that a trip to the Turks would be at least three times the profit, and his share would become one hundred and twenty taels of gold, which could be exchanged for one thousand two hundred yuan, plus the two hundred and fifty yuan that he had said before, and he would earn one thousand four hundred and fifty yuan this time.
His grandmother's, Lao Tzu is going to make a fortune!
Cheng Yanjin was overjoyed, he had enough of the bitterness of having no money, the wonderful taste of making a fortune, as if every pore had been drunk, he hurriedly caught up with Zhang Xuan, and said with a cheeky smile: "Since I am also the little proprietor, then can we hire two more guys to be responsible for leading camels to carry goods or something, you see-"
Zhang Xuan was angry, he had never seen such a thick-skinned person, he had just given him a name, he set up the score, he glared at Cheng Yanjin fiercely, "If you want to hire a buddy, you can also hire a man, and the salary will be deducted from your share." ”
He turned around and walked away, Cheng Biting Jin scratched his head, if he deducted his wages from his own share, then forget it!
Since Cheng Biting Jin has a stake, it seems that he has completely changed a person, no longer lazy and slippery, working very hard, actually managing fifteen camels obediently, unloading and loading goods without complaints, at this time he himself also rode on a camel, shouting all the way, majestic.
In addition to the increase in goods, the most obvious thing is that there is an extra team of people, the twelve subordinates led by Li Yuan's cousin Li Shentong are all tall and strong in martial arts, because Li Shentong's martial arts are slightly weaker, so these twelve people are actually his guards.
They were independent of the caravan, but together with Chai Shao, they followed Zhang Xuan north.
Li Shentong is about forty years old, medium in stature, and quite strong, not the kind of weak scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, which is also related to the general martial arts of the Guanlong nobles, and the Guanlong nobles require their children to have both civil and military skills, so Li Shentong has also practiced a little martial arts, archery, swordsmanship, and more or less skill.
However, Li Shentong's personality is good, low-key and easy-going, without a little bit of the shelf of an official eunuch, he only said one word to his subordinates, and everything obeyed Zhang Gongzi's command.
Everyone left Taiyuan City and headed north.
