Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoβ†– Top β†– Point β†– Novel β†–,

After a large pot of gray beans was sold out, Brother Chun put out the fire and habitually sat on the innermost table in the shop, holding a teapot and drinking tea, which was Xiaoman's best reward for his busy day.

The last guest also left, and Xiaoman cleaned a basket of green pears he had just bought and put them in front of Brother Chun.

Brother Chun shook his head and motioned for Xiaoman to eat by himself, taking a sip of the tea in the teapot and looking at the camel guests coming and going outside the store.

It has been more than four years since I came to Lanzhou, and in the past four years, in addition to opening a small gray bean shop, I also got a horse thief to chat with to relieve my boredom.

With this horse thief group, he knew the situation in Hexi well, and the horse thief leader Red Eagle who stayed in the Hexi Corridor said that the Xixia people had now blocked the road to Yumen Pass, and all the Song caravans who wanted to go out of the customs to do business were all sent out of Yumen Pass, and the camel teams that came back from outside the pass were not allowed to step into Yumen Pass.

Red Eagle also said that only a huge camel team entered the Yumen Pass, and the shopkeepers were all Hu people, they saw that the camel team was rich in goods, and they were ready to rob it, but before they could do it, the horse thieves of the Great Black Mountain took the first step, and the Red Eagle saw with his own eyes that the horse thieves of the Great Black Mountain were all wiped out, and in front of the camel team, the fierce horse thieves of the Great Black Mountain were like babies who could just walk.

Red Eagle thought that this camel team was likely to be the "Hacking Huer" in the well-known river.

The Kannai people may be very unfamiliar with the name of the Devil, but in the countries of the River, the name of the Devil Beard is in full swing, and it is rumored that this is an army that has sold its body and mind to the devil. They did not fight on horseback like other armies of the Western Xia, but a group of devils who rode camels across the sand sea.

Every victory of the Tangut people in the river has the shadow of Howhuer, and it can even be said that as long as Hackhuer appears, that place will soon become a hell on earth.

Red Eagle's last letter said that the caravan had gone south along the trade route, and the target was probably Lanzhou City!

Therefore, Brother Chun has ended his business early every day these days. Waiting at the store for the legendary camel caravan to come to Lanzhou City.

Xiao Man clicked and ate the pears, and also looked out with Brother Chun'er's sight, and suddenly said, "Why are there so many camel passengers?" ”

Brother Chun said faintly: "Ten days ago, it was like this, I went to the market to see, today's camel riders can't get out of Yumen Pass at all, and most of their goods are goods from Hexi, you see, their most precious goods are the luminous cup of Wuwei County, I used the excuse that I need a better piece of Kunlun jade to make hairpins for you some time ago." I asked all the camel riders, but I didn't find the suitable Kunlun jade, that is to say, the current camel riders, their farthest footprints are just to Dunhuang, and the road to the west is blocked for some reason. ”

"Could it be that the Xixia people have started their westward expedition again?"

Brother Chun shook his head and said: "Because it shouldn't be, now is the time for the rice harvest in Yinxia Prefecture, and it stands to reason that there should be many merchants who come to Lanzhou to exchange rice for wheat at this time." But this year, there hasn't been a single person. ”

Xiao Man frowned and said: "The food of the Tangut people is always not enough to eat, so they exchange one bucket of rice for two buckets of wheat. This is profitable, beans and bran are indispensable things for the Tangut people to feed their horses, and it stands to reason that the Tangut people should exchange more beans and wheat for the war that is imminent. ”

Obviously, Brother Chun seemed unwilling to discuss this matter with Xiao Man, and said to Xiao Man with a smile: "I asked Lao Qin to buy a three-entry courtyard in Suzhou. The back door is Suzhou Creek, and some fields have been purchased, which are not much, but there are also 560 acres.

Regardless of whether the matter here will end or not, you have to leave Lanzhou with the children and go to Jiangnan first. I'll be there then. ”

Xiaoman said in a low voice: "Are you worried? ”

Brother Chun said with a smile: "My husband told me at the beginning that the more rich and noble people are, the dirtier they are, and the more vicious they are, the more noble they are, the more they don't regard human life as a thing, and when their status is so high that God can only become dogs."

I remember Mr.'s words very clearly, although you said that Yun Zheng is not bad, but the Yun Zheng in my eyes is not the same as the Yun Zheng in your eyes, we already have three children, I dare not tie the life of the whole family to Yun Zheng's personal morality. ”

"Why Gangnam?"

"Bai Lotian has poetry clouds - the river is as green as blue in spring, can you not remember the south of the Yangtze River? Mr. also said that during the days of living in Suzhou, if there was no serious illness, it should be the fastest period of his life. ”

Xiao Man frowned and said, "You have collected so many horse thieves over the years......"

Brother Chun grunted and said, "Don't you know what kind of person I am?" What is it to collect some horse thieves, it is already because you and the child have filled the place in my heart, otherwise, I can even tear the earth and seal the king of the newly recovered land like Lanzhou. ”

Xiao Man looked at her husband with pity, touched his forehead with his hand, and said softly: "You are already a king at home, so don't take this outside to say it, so as not to be laughed at by others." ”

Brother Chun looked at Xiao Man resentfully and said: "If I hadn't met you in Xijing, my original plan would be like this, first control some horse thieves, and then seek a little place, and finally leave a good foundation for future generations, and then they will ...... again."

Xiao Man rudely interrupted Brother Chun'er's dream, twisted a piece of meat on Brother Chun'er's arm and said: "If you want to go crazy, go crazy yourself, don't talk about my children, my children don't go to be with a group of horse thieves, they will study hard in the future and be the husband of the study, and finally the Donghuamen roll call is what they should do." ”

Brother Chun looked at his purple arm and said helplessly: "Why do you have to insist that our child's surname is Lin?" Although I don't know who my father is, one thing I can guarantee is that I can't be surnamed Lin, because I came out of Liujia Village, and my surname should be Liu! ”

Xiao Man's body shook for a moment, and finally took Brother Chun'er's hand and put it on his face and said, "You have endured this sentence for a long time, right?" ”

Brother Chun smiled awkwardly: "I wanted to ask since Da Lang was born, but I was afraid of making you sad, so I held back." ”

Xiaoman gently snuggled in Brother Chun'er's arms and said coquettishly: "Do you really care what the children's surnames are?" ”

Brother Chun hesitated for a moment, sighed and said: "Forget it, if you want the children to be surnamed Lin, just be surnamed Lin, follow my surname Liu and insult the children." ”

Xiao Man nodded again and again and said: "Yes, you almost filthy all your life in Nanfeng Courtyard, I almost became a prostitute in the Qinglou, whether it is my surname or your surname, there is nothing to say to people, the two of us are like two logs living in the world, two trees become forests, and the child does not have the surname Lin or anything." ”

Brother Chun took a long breath and said, "It turns out that this is the reason, why didn't you say it earlier, it made me feel inferior for four years." ”

After Brother Chun said this, he suddenly laughed, took Xiaoman's little hand and said: "Other people's families are all sons and Lao Tzu surnames, our family is one by one, Lao Tzu and his son's surname, from now on I will also have the surname Lin."

We are not good people, but my baby is a clean and good baby, they didn't eat a bite of bloody food, they didn't wear a bloody shirt, and all the food we used was the clean money we earned from opening a gray bean shop, and Lao Tzu will be surnamed Lin from now on. ”

Xiao Man chuckled and said, "The Lin Men Fang clan has seen the eldest master of the Lin family, but I don't know how the eldest master will deal with that mansion in Suzhou?" ”

Brother Chun smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, the children there don't live in it, I just don't know if there is a business ...... open a gray bean shop in Suzhou."

While the husband and wife were laughing in the shop, a huge camel caravan passed by the entrance of the small shop, and the burly Hu man sat on the back of the camel almost at the same level as the roof, and the sound was extremely terrifying.

Looking at the continuous camel caravan walking in front of the door, Brother Chun stopped laughing, looked at the camel team and said to Xiaoman: "The camel team that Red Eagle said has entered Lanzhou City, you should take the child to hide in the cellar immediately." I've got food, water, and the like ready for you, so go in now! ”

Xiao Man looked at this huge camel team with three hundred camels and smiled: "The Xixia people have used their tricks in the middle of the river in the Great Song Dynasty, it seems that you already know how to reply to Yun Zheng, right?" ”

Brother Chun shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "You forgot the I just said about splitting the earth and sealing the king!"

The Tangut people were so perfunctory to the Song State, and still did not escape Yun Zheng's legal eye surveillance, the day before yesterday I thought that Yun Zheng was unfounded, the Tangut people did not attack the weakened Liao State, but they wanted to come over to seek a strong Song State This conjecture is unreasonable, and now I see the killer weapon of the Tangut people - the Huer camel team, I can understand why the Tangut people did this.

The goal of the Tangut people has never been the Liao State, their goal has always been nailed to the Song people, maybe the Tangut and the Liao State have already had an alliance to advance and retreat together. ”

Xiao Man said strangely: "Lanzhou City has been divided into a trade zone between Song and Liao, and the two countries have no garrisons within a hundred miles nearby, and the Xixia people don't need to send Xiao Hu'er over, just one or two thousand cavalry can control here, after all, there are still a large number of Xixia people in the city." Those officials of the Song State and a thousand people are not strong, who can they stop? ”

Brother Chun shook his head and said: "I don't know, we are trapped in the oath to help Yun Zheng spend five years in this place where rabbits don't, as long as we tell what we have seen and heard, as for how to judge it is his Yun Zheng's business." (To be continued.) )
