Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Artist
Huang Taiji's dispatch of troops this time has been planned for a long time, since the beginning of the year, all kinds of materials have begun to be hoarded, and Huang Taiji is going to fight Lin Dan Khan this time. Lin Dan Khan and Hou Jin are feuds, starting from Huang Taiji's father, ** Hachi, the battle between Lin Dan Khan and Hou Jin began.
This was the third time that Huang Taiji attacked Lin Dan Khan, and it was also the largest, and Huang Taiji decided to drive Lin Dan Khan out of the Mongolian steppe. swept away Lin Dan Khan, and the Mongolian steppe was the world of his emperor Taiji.
But Lin Dan Khan is the Great Khan of the Mongolian tribe, he is a descendant of the Golden Family, and his ancestor is the supreme lord who shocked the world, Genghis Khan!
Lin Dan Khan's status is orthodox, he has the jade seal of the country, the golden Buddha of Mahakala welcomed back by Wutai Mountain, and the golden characters, which symbolize the three treasures of his supreme khan's power, so he is prestigious in the entire Mongolian steppe!
But it is not enough for people to have prestige, they also need to have great talent, strength, and luck. Of these three things, Lin Dan Khan is far worse than Huang Taiji!
Therefore, the strength of Houjin is getting bigger and bigger, while the power of Lin Dan Khan is getting smaller and smaller.
In April of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji sent an order to return to Houjin, and the Mongol tribes such as Korqin, Zalut, Bahrain, Naiman, Aohan, Karaqin, Tumut, Alu Korqin, Wengniut, and Asut launched an attack on Lin Dan Khan in Chahar for the third time.
When the merchants of Zhangjiakou heard the news of Huang Taiji's war, they all became excited and busy, knowing that the team of Houjin had 100,000 people. With so many people waging war, it must have cost a lot.
Li Guo's Li Jiahui Ji shop, except for the old money, are all novices, and they can't do business on their own, but fortunately Liang Yongdong helps.
"How much silver do you have? You might as well invest in me first, and I'll give you a share, and after this business, you can do it yourself. Liang Yongdong said.
Li Guo looked at Lao Qian, and Lao Qian nodded.
So Li Guo said, "Brother Liang, this time I just came to see first, so I brought 100,000 taels of silver and threw it all to you!" Brother Liang, this is you helping me! ”
Liang Yongdong smiled, this Li Guo also understood. Liang Yongdong wants Li Guo to make money, not big money. Liang Yongdong wants to tie up Li Guo, Liang Yongdong, who doesn't understand the trilateral affairs, wants to give Li Guo sweetness, he wants to turn Li Guo into his own person. There is no one who will not be bought, it just depends on whether the price you offer is high enough, Liang Yongdong is not in a hurry, he treats Li Guo as an idle chess.
Liang Yongdong had already confided his thoughts to Qian Duoduo, and Qian Duoduo agreed with it and promised to spy on Li Guo. Since Qian Duoduo was robbed, it seems that he no longer resents his relationship with Houjin.
Liang Yongdong will not know Li Guo's identity, nor will he know Li Guo's thoughts and ambitions, let alone know that in fact, Qian Duoduo is also Li Guo's person. Every time Qian Duoduo heard something from Liang Yongdong, he went to Li Guo to report it openly, Liang Yongdong didn't care, and thought that Qian Duoduo checked Li Guo's reality.
Liang Yongdong was very satisfied with his arrangement, so every morning, Liang Yongdong took Li Guo everywhere to check on business.
On this day, Li Guo followed Liang Yongdong to inspect the business everywhere, and then walked side by side with Liang Yongdong to Liang Yongdong's home. They had already dismounted, and the horses were led by servants behind them. I often dismount and walk around to soothe my hands and feet, and also to see the scenery on both sides of the street.
There are a few people on the side of the street, and there are already more than a dozen people watching from the side, and there are also people running to see the excitement in the distance.
Li Guo looked at a few performers and smiled.
Liang Yongdong couldn't stop praising him, "Good! It's hard work! ”
It turned out that in the crowd, several big men were performing broken boulders. A man like an iron tower lay on his back on a nail board, and two men lifted a heavy boulder and placed it on the big man's body. Another big man picked up a sledgehammer and held it high.
Just listen, bam! With a loud bang, the boulder was smashed in half.
The big man of the iron tower under the stone pulled off the stone with his hand and stood up easily, without the slightest injury in his body. The crowd of onlookers applauded.
Liang Yongdong stretched out his hand and took out ten taels of silver, threw it in, and asked casually, "Good kung fu!" How many years have you been practicing? ”
The big man of the tower hugged his fists, "If you go back to your father, you have been practicing since you were a child." ”
"Have you ever known anything else?" Liang Yongdong then asked.
The tower man nodded: "It will also be the thirty-six road cloak knife technique of the Ma family in Shaanxi." ”
"You practice! Well practiced, I'll reward you! ”
When the tower man heard Liang Yongdong say that there was still a reward, his interest rose, and he found a nine-ring broadsword, reported it with both hands, said a confession, and danced.
I could only hear the sound of the knife ring, and the heavy big knife was as light as nothing in the hands of the big man. The more the big man practiced, the faster he practiced, and the knife made it like a wind.
Liang Yongdong couldn't stop clapping his hands and ordered, "Reward!" Sure enough, it's a cloak knife technique! ”
Immediately the followers threw in another ingot of ten taels of silver.
The big man's sword technique had been practiced, and he was about to thank him, when there was an exclamation!
Li Guo and Liang Yongdong turned their heads, and at the street not far away, a horse was suddenly startled.
The horse was running so fast that the pedestrians in the street could not dodge, and two or three people were already kicked to the ground and could not move. Another man had been kicked away by his horse, and fell into the shop by the street with a thud, and then he was silent when he heard a bang.
Amazing horses!
The two of them reacted together.
But the horse was running fast, Li Guo and Liang Yongdong had just reacted, the horse had already run to him, and the breath of the startled horse seemed to have sprayed on his face.
Liang Yongdong's true character as a businessman immediately shrank back, but Li Guo stepped forward and blocked the front. Li Guo didn't have time to think about anything, he just thought, I'm the boss! I don't come forward, who comes forward!
The horse neighed, and when he saw that someone was in the way, his front legs stood up, and the horse's hooves the size of the bowl mouth were raised high, and he was about to step on Li Guo's body!
Li Guo was about to dodge, but the horse's hooves hung in the air. Li Guo looked, but saw that the tower-like big man had already grabbed the startled horse, and the big man opened his eyes angrily and shouted, "Master!" Come on! ”
Li had already dodged away, but the big man was furious, punched the back of the horse's head, and scolded, "You brute, do anyone dare to collide!" "He knocked the wild and untrained horse to the ground.
Li Guo was already sweating at this time, Liang Yongdong's legs were weak, he walked to Li Guo's side, and asked repeatedly, "Brother, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, brother, I'm scared of you." Although Li Guo was startled, he was not nervous, where would a person who licked blood on the knife all year round be afraid of this.
At this time, Liang Yongdong found that these men who were performing arts had already picked up the silver and seemed to be packing up their things and leaving.
Liang Yongdong hurriedly shouted, "Hey! Dahan, you helped us, but what reward do you want? ”
The big man of the tower smiled and looked at Li Guo, "We don't want any reward, as long as the master is safe!" ”
"Good man!" Liang Yongdong clapped his hands.
Li Guo was moved to tears.
Because these performers are his people, and these performers are his most loyal subordinates!
That big man with chest hair, ugly appearance, vulgar appearance, black and black, like an iron tower, is Li Guo's right-hand man, Hao Qianjin!
