Chapter 91: Gambling Saint Li Han
"Daoist?" Zhang Fangda was shocked: "When we arrived, it was empty, and after last night's turmoil, there would be Taoist priests?" โ
"Bet! If I win, how will this family sending team behave with me as the main leader? Li Han said ruffianly.
A hint of cunning light flashed in Zhang Fangda's eyes, he wished that Li Han would be a think tank for him, why didn't he seize the opportunity, immediately high-fived Li Han and made a bet, and then carefully discussed the specific action plan with Li Han.
The two came to the front hall together, and the county order was anxious to wait for the news, and saw that they hurriedly came over to ask if they could do it?
Zhang Fangda said: "Da Ling, there are a lot of things that are inexplicable last night, if you act rashly, the noise is too big to justify."
The old man felt that it was better to quietly go to the Meridian Taoist Temple to investigate, if there were remnants of anti-thieves, and then send people to encircle and suppress, if it was just a Taoist practice, it would be better to hide the incident of last night and spread it among the people as an anecdote. โ
The county commander was taken aback, and felt that the opinion of sending the envoy was simply incredible, but after thinking about it carefully, he really felt that it was a safe plan, so he decided to personally take a few soap subordinates disguised as civilians to investigate first, and then make arrangements to see the situation.
Zhang Fangda was full of curiosity, and he was itchy to see the county order dressed as a blue-shirted scholar, and he also wanted to go and see, Li Han was afraid that something would happen to him, so he took Li San as his personal entourage, and the group went up the mountain again to reach the Meridian Taoist Temple.
Before he got closer, he heard the voice of reciting the Tao Te Ching from the temple: "Heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are used as dogs." The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. Between heaven and earth, it is still ๆฉ (tuรณ) ้พ (yuรจ)! Void but unyielding. Move and get better. It is better to keep the middle than to talk too much. โ
Zhang Fangda's complexion changed slightly. A few people pretended to be passers-by and walked in, and saw a Taoist in the courtyard unhurriedly clearing the snow. A few Taoist priests are practicing swordsmanship under the corridor, and there are rows of Taoists chanting scriptures in the hall, and the entire Meridian Taoist Temple is peaceful and peaceful, where is there a shadow of a thief? If someone were to say that there had just been a rebellion here, they would have said that there was something wrong with the man's head.
An old man with a fairy wind and bones greeted him, and the chief said, "Where are the guest officers from?" Poor and polite. โ
The county order used to come to the Meridian Taoist Temple, knew this old way, knew the Taoist name Xuande, and often went to Gaonu City to do things for people. He has always been a good Taoist priest who is kind and generous, and he couldn't get it for sure, so he asked: "Daoist Xuande, it has snowed heavily in the past few days, and the Taoists in your temple have not left, right?" โ
Li Han laughed secretly in his belly when he heard this, this bull's nose really knows how to name it, and it is the same as Liu Bei when he takes a road name, it seems that the more he is a thief, the more he likes to take the lofty name of "benevolence, righteousness and morality" to cover his ears and steal the bell, seeing that the people in this temple are all minions of the crab. This confused county magistrate thought he was a good person, and he deserved to be arrested.
"Oh, yes, the poor Dao is clumsy, and he didn't recognize the Great Order. On such a cold day, how did the Great Order come to the Meridian Taoist Temple? Hurry inside and have a bowl of hot soup. Niubi Xuande said in deliberate surprise.
Several people walked into the apse together, which was the room where Liu Bei was robbed last time. Li Han hated it when he saw that bed, but for the sake of that room of weapons. had to stretch his neck and swallow it, stay behind Zhang Fangda and pretend to be a little girl.
The Taoist priest laid out the mat. Prepared a hot soup to come up, before he spoke: "A few days ago, the Dingyang Meridian Taoist Temple was completed and opened, my senior brother Xuansu presided over there, and specially invited me to join the temple Taoist to participate in the ceremony, it took more than ten days to go back and forth, and today dawn rushed back. โ
The county magistrate is a kind person, and after hearing this, he sighed: "No wonder, thanks to your absence, otherwise it will definitely be difficult to escape the murder of the gangsters." โ
Xuande was shocked and said, "Why did the Great Decree say this? โ
The county order roughly said that he was taken captive here, and Xuande complained again and again, and confessed one after another, saying that it was no wonder that he saw a lot of traces of people in the temple after he came back, but it turned out that he was occupied by gangsters and embarrassed.
Zhang Fangda saw that Li Han's material was not bad at all, so he signaled the county order to leave quickly, and the county order told Xuande not to spread the word about it, and said goodbye and went down the mountain, where did he know that after he left, Xuande showed a cold smile on his face and scolded: "Stupid donkey!" โ
Back at the county office, the county magistrate sighed again and again in frustration, and said that this loss was in vain, and he couldn't take revenge, nor could he report it, it was really a wretch, etc.
Li Han knew that the county order was sad that he had saved the people of the city with such a big credit, but he couldn't report it to the court to receive the reward, but he didn't expose it, but he just finalized the bet with Zhang Fangda with his eyes, and walked out of the county office to go shopping.
Although the city is popular today, because the residents are terrified, there are only a few shops on the street, a pawnshop, an inn, and a clothing shop, and that's it.
followed Li Han's ass like a stone tail, but Li San couldn't see the figure anymore, there was nothing fun about turning around, Li Han was about to go back to the room to sleep early, Zhang Fangda had already said that he would go tomorrow, so he wouldn't be able to sleep well.
As soon as he passed by the door of the inn, he saw a man with short cheeks, golden eyes, red hair, short stature, and legs. โ
After rescuing the county order last night, Li Han and others were attracted by the fire, secretly sneaked to the vicinity to snoop, and saw a group of Huns burning corpses, and now he recognized this person at a glance as the Hun envoy he secretly spied on.
"Did the guest call me? Please tell me something. Li Han said with a smile.
"I am a merchant from the Western Regions, and I want the Xiongnu to sell spices, I am afraid that the road will not be very stable, I know that you are a servant who sent the envoy, and I want you to ask for the envoy to let my caravan walk with the team?"
Li Han's nose and eyes were full of anger, you deceived the master as a child, right? Merchants from the Western Regions went to the Xiongnu directly from Cheshi Houguo (near present-day Urumqi) to the north to reach the territory of the Xiongnu, where did they need to make a detour to the east for thousands of miles, and then turn back after going deep into the territory of the Han Dynasty to Gaonu?
However, Li Han really wished that the Hun nobles would follow the convoy together, and if Da Dan wanted to be close, he would not send someone to the disadvantage of the family team, and if he walked together, he would be a team of bodyguards who didn't want money.
"Okay, the more people there are, the more lively it is, and our host and guest will definitely agree." Li Han said happily with a mouthless look.
"If you can agree to send your relatives, I will definitely thank you Xie Xiaolangjun, I will give you whatever you like."
Li Han took a fancy to the scimitar tied around this person's waist, about half a foot long, and the scabbard was also inlaid with a large ruby, and deliberately said with greed without knowing the depth: "I am the personal companion of the host and guest, I said that he will definitely agree, I like this knife on your waist very much, can you give it to me when the time comes?" โ
This Hun is Huyan Tieji, he is the cousin of the military minister Shan Yu, this waist knife was given to him by Lao Shan Yu, and he is really reluctant to give it away, but the Huns are the heaviest promise, he has already boasted of Haikou, and now people can't help but give, so he agreed.
Li Han smiled and agreed with him that he would tell him the echo later, so he took the stone back to the county office, discussed with Zhang Fangda, and reached a consensus.
Huyan Tieji asked Li Han to lead the way to the county government to meet Zhang Fangda, and sent a few jars of grapes from the Western Regions.
Li Han's eyes straightened instantly, this is wine, his favorite thing to drink in his previous life, there were no grapes in the Han Dynasty, even if he could make wine, there were no raw materials, and now he saw it, why was he not happy.
Zhang Fangda and Hu Yan Tieji both saw Li Han's salivating appearance, and Zhang Fangda couldn't help but laugh and said, "Li Da, have you ever drunk this thing before?" Why are you hungry like this without opening the altar? โ
Li Han swallowed his saliva and said, "This thing is from Persia (present-day Iran), right?" Could it be that the guest is a Persian? It's not close. โ
Huyan Tieji was surprised, he didn't expect this inconspicuous boy to be so knowledgeable, and hurriedly smiled: "We are merchants of Qiuci country, and this grape wine was brought to Qiuci by our merchants from Persia. โ
Li Han asked, "Can you get grape seeds?" I'm willing to pay a premium for it. โ
Huyan Tieji smiled: "I really have this, but it's not on me, it's left in the branch of our caravan in the capital of the Huns, and we can give it to you when we arrive." โ
Li Han had already seen that this nobleman was reluctant to give him the waist knife, and when he heard this, he didn't say a word and returned the waist knife, and said: "The gentleman doesn't take away people's love, I didn't know at first that this thing was your beloved thing, and it didn't matter if I came, since you gave me grape seeds, this knife will be returned to its original owner." โ
Huyan Tieji was overjoyed and took the waist knife, and his good impression of Li Han instantly exploded, patting him on the shoulder and shouting brother.
After the heavy snowfall, it was followed by a severe cold, the roads were icy, and it was impossible to travel long distances, and the nearest post station in front was also one hundred and fifty kilometers away, so Zhang Fangda felt that he was waiting for the weather to warm up in Gaonu City before leaving.
Now Li Han's safety factor is much higher, in addition to having a stone that is very familiar with the terrain, Canglong also regards him as the master completely, as long as he encounters a little danger, even if it is a horse's hooves, Canglong will instantly appear to help him solve it.
