Chapter 51: The Art of War
Jiang Zhenzi sighed and said, "One drink and one peck, each has its own share; The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant. The brother was 'added to the yellow robe' by the younger brother. After his brother ascended the throne, he released his military power with a glass of wine. Later, the 'candle shadow axe', the younger brother killed his brother after a glass of wine, and also came to a 'yellow robe'. Which is more ruthless and spicy? It can really be said that there are more ruthless people in the ruthless, and there are more spicy people in the spicy! ”
After sighing with emotion, Jiang Zhenzi said to the brothers: "I will explain to you the story of this 'Chenqiao Mutiny', first, to let you know the Tao, do not look at the surface of things, and use your brains more; second, this 'Chenqiao Mutiny' is also the beginning of the 'one-word art of war' that I want to teach you. ”
Niu Gao smiled: "Is there really a 'one-word art of war'?" ”
Jiang Zhenzi's face jumped a few times, and he seemed a little annoyed, and said: "Of course, but to learn the 'one-word art of war', you need to have a medicine introduction to get started." ”
Wang Gui listened to the laughter of Ha Lu Ha Da Lu next to him: "To learn the art of war, you still need a medicine primer, it's really unheard of, Jiang Da Fat, you are too good at it." ”
Jiang Zhenzi was impatient and said, "It's up to you whether you learn or not." In Bianliang City, a tea kung fu to the north of my Wufu Street, there is a silk street, and the whole street is full of shops related to clothes: such as fabrics, ready-to-wear, tailoring and various accessories. The medicine you need to learn the art of war is a large blue and white tribute satin cloak, and the one you want to buy on the silk street is the real thing. There is a time-honored brand called 'Long Xing Xing' in Silk Street, and the clothes and fabrics in it are of the best quality. ”
Jiang Zhenzi said, suddenly stood up, and continued: "It's not half of the time yet, your medicine must be taken back to my inn before noon, it's outdated, you can do it." After speaking, he didn't settle the bill, turned around and walked out of the small inn, and went back to the city.
The remaining Yue Fei brothers looked at each other, confused.
Wang Gui said: "Brothers, this big fat man won't be bragging and being exposed by me, and running away in anger, right?" ”
Yang Zaixing said: "The big fat seniors should have come to the real place, otherwise they wouldn't have brought us to this kind of place early in the morning." ”
Yue Fei said, "Brother Yang has a point. Nothing else, go buy a cloak first, and then go back and see what he has to say. But time is a bit tight now, so let's hurry up. ”
The brothers agreed, settled the account, went out on the horse, and galloped back to Bianliang City.
The Yue Fei brothers were riding fast horses, and it was less than a tea time before Jiang Zhenzi left, and the brothers were already chasing after them with all their might, and it was also strange that they couldn't catch up with the big fat man.
When I returned to the city, I asked left and right, and it took a while to finally find the Silk Street and the 'Longxing Xingxing' that Jiang Zhenzi said. At this time, it is estimated that there is still a stick of incense before noon.
Longxingxing is a time-honored brand, and it is the most prosperous area in the middle of Silk Street. There are two shops on Longxing Xingdang Street, one sells fabrics and the other sells ready-to-wear clothes.
Yue Fei and his entourage dismounted, tied the horse in front of the store, and entered the ready-to-wear store.
As soon as you enter the door, the first thing you see is the payment counter, and when you enter, you will find all kinds of clothes.
It is worthy of being a time-honored brand, and there are many kinds of clothing items in it, including men, women and children. Except for Yang Zaixing, the brothers are all from small places, and the first time they saw so many clothes, it was an eye-opener. Niu Gao even saw some women's belly pockets and fur clothes and other objects, and grinned......
There are a few guys in front of the closet greeting customers, and there is a bookkeeper in the back who is calculating.
The brothers were watching, and an old fellow came up and asked, "What do the guest officers want to buy?" ”
This old fellow is a little hunchbacked, his temples have been gray, his face is kind, and his attitude is kind. It is very compatible with this time-honored brand.
Wang Gui asked the old man, "Is there a large blue and white tribute satin cloak?" ”
"What? Guest, you speak loudly. The old man turned sideways and said to Wang Gui with his ear: Obviously, this old man is a little behind his ears.
Wang Gui enlarged his throat and said to the old man word by word: "Is there a large blue and white tribute satin cloak?" ”
The old man heard it clearly this time, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, please wait a moment." He turned to the closet next to him and pulled out a few cloaks.
Wang Gui picked one up casually and draped it on his body, feeling quite comfortable and good-looking. At this time, a young man suddenly came over and said, "Guest officer, your eldest brother Yue asked me to ask you for five taels of silver to buy cloth next door and send it back to the countryside." ”
"Hmm" Wang Gui didn't think much about it, took out a piece of silver and handed it to the guy, and continued to try on clothes by himself. The guy ran to the nearby store selling fabrics.
Niu Gao urged on the side: "Hurry up, buy it and leave, don't bother." ”
Wang Gui asked the old man, "How much is this cloak?" ”
"Wait for me to ask." The old man turned around and asked the bookkeeper inside, "How much is the large blue and white tribute satin cloak that this guest officer tried on?" ”
The bookkeeper replied loudly, "Seventeen dollars," and his voice was slightly hoarse.
Niu Gao stuck out his tongue in surprise. Zhang Xian said from the side: "That Jiang big fat man clearly wants to slaughter us. ”
The clerk didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked again: "How much money?" ”
The bookkeeper repeated: "Seventeen dollars." ”
"Did you hear that?" The old man said to Wang Gui, "Dozens of money." ”
"How much?" Wang Gui almost didn't believe his ears.
The old man clenched his left hand into a fist and stretched out his index finger with his right hand, "Haven't heard clearly?" Ten money, young man, your ears are worse than mine. ”
After Wang Gui and Zhang Xian glanced at each other, they took out the silver and put it on the front counter, "This is eleven taels of silver." After that, he picked up his cloak and left.
"Why don't you bring it and wrap it?" The old fellow asked.
"No more trouble." Wang Gui pursed his lips at Zhang Xian and walked out of the store quickly. The other brothers also followed out of the store and got on the horse and rushed to the "Jiang Zhenzi Anyu Merchant" inn.
Back at the inn, a man came up and said, "The owner is waiting for you in the private seat on the second floor." ”
The Yue Fei brothers went up to the second floor and saw that Jiang Zhenzi had already served wine and food, set up the dishes and chopsticks, and were waiting for them.
The brothers sat down, exchanged a few polite words with Jiang Zhenzi, and were about to pour wine. Jiang Zhenzi suddenly said: "Let's drink and eat meat slowly, wait for me to talk about the rules first." ”
The brothers looked at Jiang Zhenzi, and Niu Gao spoke: "Old fat man, drink and drink, where are there so many rules." ”
Jiang Zhenzi looked serious and said, "This banquet is called the Heroes' Banquet, and it is to drink it in conjunction with your medicine." Your medicine is divided into six levels: A, B, C, D, E, and F, and there are five plates of meat such as chicken, goose, duck, pork, and beef, plus good wine, which is also six. What level of medicine you have, you can eat as many dishes as you want. If the medicine is the best, you will eat all of them, and if the medicine is the lowest, there is another way to eat. ”
