Ximen Street, Jianchang County, is another main street that crosses with Dongmen Street, in the impression of most of the people of Jianchang, the east gate of Jianchang City is more than the gentry, the West Gate is rich and rich, and more than half of the shops in Jianchang City are located on Ximen Street.

From the west gate into the West Gate Street less than two miles, set up an archway, the archway to the east, a white wall courtyard facing the street, the gate of vermilion lacquer has long been refutated from the original brilliance, a yellow edge and white background, the half-old rectangular flag is erected straight above the porch, swinging with the wind, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on the ground with four big ink-colored characters: "Ximen Dart Bureau".

Entering the door is in a wide small square, on the east and west sides of the square, a knife and gun are placed against the wall, and a blue brick path runs straight across the square, reaching the welcome living room of the West Gate Dart Bureau.

There are three or two wings on the east and west sides of the living room, and in a wing room on the east side, behind the black rectangular desk, an old man about fifty years old, with a heavy face and long beard, sits behind the table, holding the account book in one hand and the abacus in the other, muttering in his mouth, frowning from time to time.

This old man, who looks a little similar to Guan Gong, is the chief dart head of the Ximen Dart Bureau.

Dai Feng liquidated for a while, put down the account book, leaned back against the chair, rubbed his temples with both hands, sighed heavily, and couldn't help but worry, since the apocalypse three years later, the business of the Ximen Dart Bureau is not as good as a year, especially in August this year, Jianchang City was Poyang Shui Kou into the city to make a fuss, the business of the dart bureau is even more withered, since August of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the Ximen Dart Bureau has not received a single business for three consecutive months, and the dart master in the bureau has already dispersed most of it, and the cost of the dart board has been reduced to the minimum. However, the entire Ximen Dart Bureau eats horses and eats empty mountains, and the silver earned in previous years is about to bottom out.

Dai Dart closed his eyes and thought for a while, secretly planning, if he can't get business this month, he must not sit back and wait for the family to be empty, then he will ruthlessly stop the business of the dart bureau, disband the few loyal dart masters left, let them find another way to make a living, no matter what, I have to leave some dowry for my precious daughter Dai Yingying.

Dai Dart secretly made up his mind, and when he looked up again, there was already a resolute look on his face.

"Report the dart head, there is a person named Xu Liang outside the door who asks to see you." A legging bracer, breeches, and a 30-year-old dart master entered the door and reported loudly.

"Oh? Hurry up, please! When Dai Dart heard that there was business coming to the door, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered, and when the dart master walked out quickly, he suddenly felt that the name Xu Liang sounded so familiar? After thinking about it for a while, Dai Dart suddenly realized that he went to his best friend Chen Yuanwai's house to drink last night, and the drunken Chen Yuanwai patted the table and scolded the master of Jianchang County, who seemed to be called Xu Liang. The person who came to the door today is also called Xu Liang, this can't be such a coincidence, right?

Thinking of this, Dai Dart Head hurriedly followed out of the door and walked towards the gate in person. Out of the welcome living room, Dai Dart saw that the dart master led a group of two people in the direction of the welcome living room, first a young man in a cyan robe, thick eyebrows and big eyes, eyes and eyes, was looking around and walking forward, followed by about one or fifty old men in brown robes, Dai Feng fixed his eyes and recognized that it was the former Jianchang master Ge Qiaoge, five years of the apocalypse, he also took over a business from Lord Ge to escort the official bank.

recognized Ge Qiao's identity, and then looked at Ge Qiao's walking half a step behind the young man, Dai Dart immediately guessed that this young man was Jianchang's current chief bookkeeper Xu Liang Xu.

"Ahaha, Dai Feng of the Ximen Dart Bureau has seen Lord Xu, Lord Ge," Dai Feng walked down the steps quickly, and arched his hand with a smile on his face, "Two adults, please hurry up." ”

"Wear a dart head, fortunately, fortunately." Xu Liang said. He glanced at Dai Dart's head and secretly praised it, what a mighty man.

"Wearing a dart head, I haven't seen it for many days, and the dart head is still colorful." Ge Qiao also laughed.

Dai Feng warmly welcomed the two into the living room, beckoned the two to sit down, while busy letting people serve tea, while his heart was happy, looking at this situation, I am afraid that there is another big business in the Jianchang County Yali that is going to fall on his head, hehe, Dai Dart knows that the best thing to do this year is the business of the government.

"The two adults came to the Ximen Dart Bureau in person today, which really made the Dart Bureau shine." Dai Dart said hehehe, "I wonder if the two adults need to use this dart game?" ”

"Haha," Xu Liang looked up to the sky and asked: "Xu has been here in Jianchang for almost four months, and he has admired the name of Dai Dart and this Ximen Dart Bureau for a long time, but he has never met. Recently, the business of your dart bureau has been good? ”

When Dai Dart heard this, his face turned red, and his face was as if he had just drunk spirits, and he said: "Dai and the dart masters themselves are begging for a life on the knife edge, thanks to all the friends in the rivers and lakes, this business, although it is not very prosperous, can not become rich, and it will be mixed to eat." ”

"The dart head is humble." Xu Liang looked around the hall, although it was very clean and spotless, the tables, chairs, and tea sets looked a little old. Presumably, the business of this Ximen Dart Bureau has not been very satisfactory in recent years. He said: "Dai Dart Head has been running this Ximen Dart Bureau for so many years, and the Ximen Dart Bureau is famous. ”

When Dai Dart heard this, his face showed a little self-satisfaction, and he smiled: "Lord Xu has won the award, although Dai Mou is rough and hard, and his kung fu is not very clever, but it is more than enough to deal with more than a dozen ordinary men." Speaking of this dart game, adults don't know, whether this business is doing well or not, personal martial arts is not the main thing, the name of this industry accounts for 30%, kung fu accounts for 30%, and the remaining 40% depends on the black and white friends on the rivers and lakes to appreciate face. ”

"Well," Xu Liang nodded slowly when he heard this, and as soon as he changed the topic, he said: "Xu heard that Dai Dart Tou also stayed in the barracks back then, and he also lived in a city to garrison back then?" ”

Dai Dart's face sank, what he had done in the army, not many people in Jianchang City knew, and he himself was very reluctant to mention it, speaking of which he was framed by someone back then, and his life was almost not guaranteed, and he was able to save his life with the help of nobles, but this official naturally couldn't do it, so he dragged his family to move to Jianchang to live, and opened this Ximen Dart Bureau. He glanced at Ge Qiao, who had been sitting on the side and had never spoken, and secretly said that it must be the news revealed by Ge Qiao, and he had inadvertently let Ge Qiao know about his own affairs. Dai Dart muttered and did not speak.

Ge Qiao coughed lightly at this time and said: "Lord Xu doesn't know, Dai Dart Head was the garrison general of Jinan City back then, but it was only later that he made people and made people, and then he arrived in our Jianchang." ”

Xu Liang was suddenly in awe, overjoyed in his heart, and arched his hand: "I see, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

"Alas," Dai Dart sighed, waved his hand and said: "Don't mention the past, Lord Xu, if you have anything to entrust the Ximen Dart Bureau, please speak up." ”

Xu Liang thought about it, and said: "Heh, then Xu Mou said bluntly, Xu Mou came today to negotiate business with the Ximen Dart Bureau." I also want to ask the Simon Dart Bureau to protect the dart. ”

When Ge Qiao heard this, he glanced at Xu Liang in surprise, this is not in line with what was agreed before he came, before coming to the Ximen Dart Bureau, Xu Liang agreed with him that he tried to persuade Dai Feng to close the dart bureau and go directly to the patrol camp as an errand boy.

Xu Liang gave Ge Qiao a reassuring look.

"Oh?" Dai Dart said happily: "I don't know if Lord Xu has brought the things he wants to protect, and where do you want to send them?" ”

Xu Liang shook his head and said: "Wearing a dart head, my dart trip is a little special, neither people nor things, I want to ask the dart head to protect the patrol battalion I am going to form!" ”

"This ......" As soon as Dai Feng heard this, he immediately understood, these days the news that Jianchang was going to set up a patrol battalion was spreading, and he dared to feel that Xu Liang was not here to protect things, but to pull himself in. I am afraid that I will disappoint the two adults, Dai has long been disheartened by officialdom, and he just wants to live a stable life for a few days, and it is impossible to step into officialdom again. ”

"Haha." Xu Liang laughed, shook his head and said: "Dai Dart Head misunderstood, Xu Mou said that he wanted the Dart Head to protect the patrol battalion, not to invite the Dart Head to join the patrol battalion as an errand boy, but to invite the Dart Head to enter the camp to train soldiers for Xu Liang for three months after the patrol camp was completed, and after March, the Dart Head can leave." ”

"Well, in this case," Dai Feng felt a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, if he was just training sergeants for Xu Liang, it would be no problem, he thought about it, and said: "If Lord Xu just wants to ask Dai to help train soldiers, there is no problem, but this remuneration is ......."

"Don't worry," Xu Liang waved his hand generously and said: "After the matter is completed, Xu will pay you a thousand taels of silver!" He took out a silver dart of one hundred taels and handed it to Dai Dart, "Xu can pay a hundred taels of silver as a deposit!" ”

A thousand taels?! Dai Dart Tou listened, and the excitement on his face flashed, which was comparable to the remuneration for more than a dozen jobs in the past.

He looked at the brand-new one hundred taels of silver tickets placed in front of him, glanced at Xu Ge and the others, nodded and said, "Okay, then Lord Xu's job, Dai will take it!" ”

Xu Liang's face was happy, and he was about to take out the contract he had written earlier from his arms, only to hear a coquettish voice from the door of the living room: "Daddy, don't take this dart!" ”
