Chapter 532: Encountering the Dead
readx;
If he is slow to shoot, it means that Chen Yuan is now in a very passive situation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he must withstand this round of Pang Ji's attack before he has the ability to fight back. What Su Xiaoyou can get pregnant, this is not something that Chen Yuan can decide.
He didn't know what kind of alliance Pang Ji and Liao Xingzong had reached, whether their relationship was using each other, or whether Pang Ji had betrayed the Great Song Dynasty.
Yelu Ling is a bait thrown by the other party, as for whether Yelu Lingling herself knows that she is a bait, Chen Yuan can't figure out where this bait will be thrown to lure him, and he doesn't know.
Sitting on the carriage, Chen Yuan took a deep breath, this period of time he looked no different from before, it was because he had matured and learned to hide. The camouflage was really tiring at the time. When he sat in the carriage, when there was no one else around, Chen Yuan subconsciously leaned against the corner of the carriage, trying to make the space occupied by his body more narrow.
Psychologically, this is a sign of fear.
He was really scared! This is completely different from the previous battle in Liao, if you lose, it will be a life at most.
But this time, he gambled on his entire net worth.
Just like gambling, Chen Yuan and Lao Pang had already taken their cards and were ready to bet. At this time, if you know your opponent's hole cards, you can smoothly lure your opponent into taking the bait, or even win your opponent with nothing. But Chen Yuan didn't know what Lao Pang was going to do next!
Shen Rui wanted to help Chen Yuan inquire, but Chen Yuan refused. Lao Pang is a cunning person, although Shen Rui is deeply favored by him, but if he asks whether he shouldn't ask, he will still be suspicious. If Yelu Ling could tell what she was going to do next, Chen Yuan would be able to guess where Lao Pang would place the trap, but Yelu Lingling wouldn't say it, and Chen Yuan didn't want to force her. Last time in Liao, he had already used her, this time he didn't want to make any more use of Yelu Lingling, he didn't want this woman to become a weapon in his hand when he was fighting with others.
Is there anything else that can be done? Chen Yuan hadn't thought of it yet.
When he came out of Liu Yong's place, Han Qi waited at the door: "Shopkeeper, are you going to the post station now?" ”
Chen Yuan looked up at the sky, it was still early.
He suddenly remembered that he hadn't gone shopping for a long time, and there were seven or eight miles from here to the post station, and half an hour was enough for him to walk: "You go back first, I'll go to the street by myself." ”
Han Qi was a little uneasy, he knew that Chen Yuan had been stared at recently, if Chen Yuan had any accidents, it would be very difficult for him, a pseudo-knight with broken legs, to even stutter: "Then I'll follow you behind in the car." ”
Chen Yuan shook his head: "No, I am not conspicuous at all when I walk alone on the street, if you drive a carriage to follow, it will arouse suspicion." ”
Han Qi thought for a while, his skills were really not good, instead of following by himself, it was better to quickly turn back and inform Hu Yanping of them, if Chen Yuan took a slow walk, Hu Yanping and they would come after a while.
Thinking of this, he nodded: "I'll go back first with the shopkeeper." ”
Chen Yuan was walking on the street alone, and he realized at this time that he really hadn't looked at the vendors on the side of the road for a long time.
With the solution of the food problem, the business of the traders has also improved a lot, and the number of displaced people has greatly decreased after the shipyards were opened. Shipyards not only employ skilled workers, but also need people to do some manual work. What's more, the development of transportation, logging and other industries driven by this requires the participation of labor, and Bianjing City has really recovered the prosperity scene before the party war.
The vendors shouted loudly to sell their wares, and some passers-by occasionally stopped in front of their stalls to attract their enthusiasm, and whether the customers bought or not, they politely greeted and sent people away.
Of course, there are quarrels, not everyone can do business, some people can make a small stall into a big business, some people can barely make ends meet, and some people can't even run a small business.
This has nothing to do with people's talents, just like Chen Yuan couldn't study well in his previous life, some people just can't do business well.
Not far away, Chen Yuan saw a few guys in clothes and shaking their heads walking towards him, so he gave way to the side.
These people are gangsters, they stop in front of every stall, they don't say anything, and as soon as they stretch out their hands, those who sell stuff stuff them for dozens of big bucks. Chen Yuan has seen a lot of this situation, so don't ignore such a person if he can.
Chen Yuan also said to all the businesses under his command that for these people, if they just want some small money, forget it for them.
This is Chen Yuan's attitude, but these merchants who do small business are different, they can't make much money, and if they are taken away again, it will be really a little difficult.
Chen Yuan heard a woman next to him whispering, "Didn't you just receive it yesterday?" ”
Chen Yuan looked back, and suddenly found that the woman was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it again, so he couldn't help but stop and look at it twice.
"Bang!" A fist slammed into the stall, and a guy with his chest bared said, "You also ate yesterday, can you not eat today?" ”
After this shout, seven or eight people immediately surrounded him, and when one of them was not pleasing to the eye, he started smashing the stall.
The woman looked a little frightened: "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't give it, it's just that you collect it too often, and we can't stand this small business." ”
A thug looked at the woman: "Oh, I said little lady, you are not happy that the uncle has come to see you a few times, right?" ”
As he spoke, he touched the woman's face with a hand.
Chen Yuan looked more closely, he was sure that he must have seen this woman! Where? I really can't remember.
The woman was very beautiful, in her twenties, at the age when a woman was full of temptation. Seeing that the gangster's hand was about to touch it, a person suddenly jumped out next to him, and the person moved quite quickly, reaching out and opening the gangster's hand.
The gangsters were a little stunned, and the man hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed around: "Brothers, don't be angry, brothers, let's just give it, give it." ”
As he spoke, he took all the money out of the money box and brought it to the thugs, laughing vigorously.
This person is in his forties, Chen Yuan smiled secretly in his heart after seeing his face: "This world is really too small, I didn't expect to meet him here." ”
The thug glanced at the man: "I said are you her father or her man?" ”
The man bowed humbly: "This is cheap, it is cheap, you don't know the rules, you big brothers are good, don't worry about her." ”
One of the thugs looked at the man twice, and suddenly punched him.
The man first tried to dodge, but after shaking his body for a while, he actually shook back again, and stood honestly in place, waiting for the punch.
The fist struck the man in the face, and he staggered back five or six steps, falling to the ground. As soon as the thug next to him saw the eldest brother move, he immediately wanted to go up and smash the stall, but the person who punched made a punch waved his hand to stop everyone, and went up and pulled the man up: "Big brother, have you practiced?" ”
The man smiled wryly: "I used to be a soldier. ”
The gangster leader nodded and whispered: "Cheng, you give your brother face brother, I won't accept you here in the future, let's have two drinks when I have time." ”
After saying that, he left with seven or eight people, and the woman hurriedly walked over and looked at the man's face: "Are you okay?" ”
The man smiled: "It's okay." ”
"Xiao Yuanqiu."
The man was stunned when he heard this name, and looked back at Chen Yuan sharply, with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Master Horse, it really scared me." ”
In the private seat of the teahouse, Chen Yuan and Xiao Yuanqiu sat face to face, Xiao Yuanqiu no longer looked like a general, he was just a very ordinary person, doing a little business to support his wife and children.
"Business is okay, right?" Chen Yuan poured him a cup of tea.
Xiao Yuanqiu nodded: "Last year was not very good, but reluctantly, this year is much better." Looking at this stall, I don't want to think about it, I still have two meals of rice a day. I sent my children to school, and now they all think that I am a Song person, and I speak very standard official language. ”
He said that he was smiling very happily here, and Chen Yuan also smiled: "I really don't know if you are in Bianjing, how is it, do you have anything to help?" ”
Xiao Yuanqiu shook his head: "No need." I don't call Xiao Yuanqiu now, I have a Song name, called Qiu Yuan, which I took myself. When the horse master let me live, I was really grateful. Now I know that it doesn't matter if I can stay with my wife and children, even if it is tiring and hard. ”
Chen Yuan was also happy for him: "There is no one here, let's call your original name." In fact, you also helped me a lot at the beginning, if you hadn't told me that tunnel, I might not have been able to get out of Yanjing City alive. If there's anything you're not happy with your life right now, just talk to me, seriously, I feel like I owe you something here after watching you being bullied by those thugs. You know my house, right? ”
Xiao Yuanqiu smiled: "Naturally, I know that you are now the master of the Great Song Dynasty, who doesn't know you." But I don't think I need to look for you, I'm fine now, really. I was afraid that those former acquaintances would recognize me, and I kept my head down as much as possible, but I didn't expect to be seen by you. ”
It can be seen that he is very satisfied with his life now, and Chen Yuan is also happy for him in his heart: "Then you can treat it as if you don't know me." In the future, you can be your Qiu Yuan, but if you are in trouble, remember to come to me. ”
Xiao Yuanqiu nodded: "Got it, you don't eat these pastries, right?" If you don't eat it, I'll take it back and give it to my son. ”
Having said this, Chen Yuan is even more sure that Xiao Yuanqiu in the past is really gone, and he is now a very ordinary trader, busy for the life of his family.
