669 Murder Without Blood (I)
Qiu Liu took the excuse that it was early winter, the longer it dragged on, the colder the weather became, and the heavier the snow fell, the more difficult the road would become, and then he was tempted to hurry up to see Chengbo Bo Riguxin preside over the blood sacrifice ceremony, so the group was reluctant to stay, hurried with all their might, and finally found a sheltered place at the foot of a mountain when the sun was about to set, and camped on the spot.
It's not bad, at the end of the day, it is estimated that it took more than 100 miles, such a large convoy, it is considered very smooth, and there are no accidents on the road, it can be said that it is smooth wind and water.
Fortunately, these Tibetan soldiers are not so arrogant, for them, camping in the wilderness, it is commonplace, some people with excellent equestrian skills, they can even ride a horse, while leaning on the back of the horse to take a nap, or tie themselves to the horse for the night, no military salary, do not pay attention to the conditions, not even bring food and grass, grab what you eat, be ashamed of cowardice, proud of dying in battle, so they can build a strong empire on the plateau when they are poor, this alone is enough to make people admire.
Qiu Liu and Desolate Wolf Heart both made comparisons, and it was difficult to do it in the Tang Army, but it was a pity that they were enemies.
After the camp was established, there was no need for Qiu Liu to worry about it, the head of the Yaping Baihu was very experienced in letting people pile the goods in the middle, unload the horses, let the horses rest for a while, feed them with concentrate, let them maintain their physical strength and not let them lose weight, and then arrange sentry posts, and the rest of the people surrounded the goods in case of loss, obviously not the first time to do this escort work.
The bonfire was lit, the iron pot was erected, and pieces of freshly slaughtered mutton were thrown into the pot, and soon the air was filled with an enticing smell of meat, and the glow of the fire reflected the slightly tired faces.
At this time, the north wind is blowing, and the sky is fluttering, and a little snow is falling. Whether it is Qiu Liu's guys or those soldiers, they all subconsciously wrap their clothes tightly, everyone is huddled together, and those who still have to run out to work in the cold weather are all bitter, and they are not so picky.
"Hundreds of households, look at the sky, it may snow heavily this day, it's really cold." Qiu Liu pulled the sheepskin coat on his body and sat down next to Yaping. Stretch out your hands and draw close to the fire to pick up the spark.
"Well, it's not very good this day, the road conditions in this area are not very good, and I have to step up a little more tomorrow." Yahei looked up at the weather. The clouds were thick, and the snowflakes were getting stronger and stronger. Nodding in agreement with Qiu Liu's words. Offered to hurry up.
As long as you send people to the city, your task can be completed, and when you go out of the city, you can tell the big housekeeper that the task is completed, and the group will take a rest in the city, anyway, General Zampa also has an estate in the city. Don't worry about having no place to live, you can watch the blood sacrifice at that time, see the demeanor of Gu Xin, and when you leave. also brought the glamorous orchid that Qiu Liuxu gave him, he really laughed when he thought about it, and now he was more anxious than Qiu Liu, and he couldn't wait to rush to Luo Some City immediately.
"The elder of the hundred households is really refreshing, I heard that the chief of the hundred households is the nephew of the chief housekeeper, I don't know if this is true?"
Yaping said "modestly": "That is, Yuantang's nephew, it's not worth mentioning." ”
"It turns out that there is really such a thing, the chief manager has won the trust of General Zanpo, and the future of the elders of the hundred households is unlimited, please take care of it in the future."
"Although I have my cousin to take care of him, if I don't have military merits, I will be looked down upon." Yaping said with a serious face: "After visiting the blood festival, in the spring of next year, I will ask my cousin for help to arrange for me to go to the front line and go to Datang to make a fortune, Datang is very rich, that woman is also beautiful, as long as you do a vote, you have everything, there is a person in our tribe who followed them to ransack a village in Datang, not only robbed a beautiful Datang woman, but also more than a hundred taels of silver, and suddenly became a rich person, but unfortunately that Datang woman was not tolerated by the gods of the Three Realms, and she died after not playing long in Tubo, so she had to feed her to the wolf." , It's a pity, if I have the chance, I have to grab two of them and enjoy them at home, hahaha"
Yaping said unscrupulously, as if the people of the Tang Dynasty were like pigs and dogs in his eyes, Qiu Liu looked at those faces that were smiling a little ugly, and really wanted to stab him in the throat.
"Hey, head of a hundred households, what's wrong with your hand, it's swollen." Qiu Liu didn't answer his words, but pointed to a piece of blood on the back of his hand and asked in surprise.
"What are you doing with such a fuss, I accidentally fell off my horse a few days ago, so I made it like this, it's a trivial matter," Yaping said with a nonchalant expression.
Qiu Liu shook his head and said, "This is an injury, how can it be just like that?" Wait a minute, the little one just has a bottle of medicine, and I will use it to help you wipe it, and it will ensure that it will work quickly. ”
After speaking, he couldn't help but stand up, just when the pile of goods was about to turn over the medicine, Na Yaping didn't care, in his eyes, after the rich businessman in front of him knew his identity, he had the heart to scold himself, anyway, it was not a big deal.
Qiu Liu turned over the pile of goods in front of everyone's eyes, as if he didn't remember where he put the medicine, looked east and west, and suddenly accidentally touched a jar of wine, and the wine fell down like this, and with a "bang", a jar of wine was shattered.
"Well, it smells good."
"This, isn't this Datang's wine?"
"Sizzle"
As soon as the wine jar was broken, the air was immediately filled with an extremely attractive aroma of wine, and there were many people who smelled the wine and snorted, and the gluttonous worms in the stomach moved all of a sudden, and they desperately sniffed the mellow aroma of wine in the air, which was much better than their own mare's milk wine.
Looking at the wine that fell from the jar, Qiu Liu said with a little annoyance: "It's really unlucky, see the wealth and turn into water, forget it." ”
As he spoke, he took the medicine he found, handed it to the head of the hundred households in Yaping and said, "I found it, the elder of the hundred households, you can wipe this and ensure that the stasis will be eliminated soon." ”
"Okay, Shopkeeper Qiu really has a heart." Yaping took it a little carelessly, his eyes were staring at the pile of goods in the middle, his mind was no longer on any medicine, but on the wine jars: what was inside, it was the wine of the Tang Dynasty, which was more than ten times stronger than the mare's milk wine in his arms.
Qiu Liu pretended not to know his gaze, and after handing over the medicine to Yaping, he sighed and roasted his hands, lowered his head and said: "Lord Baihu, there is a cave here, I asked the guy to clean it up just now, and I will lay the sheepskin in a while, and you and I will rest in the cave for one night, and we will be in a hurry tomorrow morning." ”
Yaping licked his tongue, and then looked at the eager gaze of his subordinates, some of them were useless, saliva flowed out, and the wine worms in his stomach were also crawling and crawling, and finally couldn't help but say: "Shopkeeper Qiu Qiu, I want to discuss something with you." ”
"Hundreds of households, please speak."
"Now the weather is too cold, it's better to drink a little wine to have an ambiguous body, you see, your wine is too fragrant, can you let the brothers taste it, after all, in order to hurry, you can't live against it, just the accommodation fee will save you a sum of money, such a cold day, blowing the cold wind in the wilderness, can you bear the warriors trembling in the cold wind."
This is talking nonsense with wide eyes, everyone is in such a hurry, it is Qiu Liu who said in advance that he would give a special subsidy, otherwise they would have made a big fuss, and he was embarrassed to say it.
Qiu Liu hesitated for a moment, but quickly nodded and said: "The elders of the hundred households have spoken, and the small ones can't be given, but this wine is limited, and it is ready to be given away, so let's do it, there are six altars here, at most two altars will be taken down, and the brothers present are all equal, everyone can drink a little and be clear, if you want to have a good drink, you can only return to Bomi." ”
This wine jar is twenty catties, everyone can share half a catty, Ya Pingyuan thought that he was willing to take out a jar out of it is very good, but I didn't expect Qiu Liu to say the second jar at once, and said excitedly: "Brother Qiu is really refreshing, in the future in Bomi City, there is something to find me." ”
"Ha Lu Ha, the wine is drunk, there is wine to drink."
"Quick, quick, get the bowl."
"I'm running dry, that's great."
As soon as they smelled the wine, this temporary camp exploded all of a sudden, and the soldiers who had been "kidnapped" by the smell of wine were about to jump up with joy, Liu Yuan had not moved the wine, they had already taken out the guys who were carrying the food casually, and were ready to serve the wine, and some of them wiped the snow on the spot and washed the dishes, provoking the four soldiers who were in charge of guarding outside to keep sticking their heads in.
The fine wine of the Tang Dynasty, Ping is only tasted by lords and noble ladies, and now a small soldier can also drink it, smelling the aroma of wine, it is still a good wine, this is a very lucky thing, and many people are grateful to the gods of the Three Realms for their blessing in their hearts.
Qiu Liu seemed to be a little reluctant to come back with two jars of wine, and those soldiers, under the command of Yaping, put all the guys who served the wine on the ground, put dozens of bowls at once, and waited to share the wine, Qiu Liu looked at the four Tubo soldiers standing in the distance of the camp and said: "Hundred family elders, what about the four brothers?" ”
"Forget it, they're on duty, they can't drink, I'll leave a little for them later." Yaping said as he hugged a jar of wine and said happily: "Shopkeeper Qiu, this, open?" ”
"Open!"
Yaping's old face smiled, opened the red with his hand, and then slapped out the sealing mud, opened the wine very skillfully, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and said excitedly: "Ha Luha, good wine, good wine, good wine." ”
called out three times for good wine, and looked at his intoxicated face, as if he was drunk if he didn't drink.
"Hundred household chiefs, hurry up and pour it, the little saliva is flowing down."
"That's it, the head of a hundred households, pour me a little more, the small one has a big belly."
"My belly is bigger"
"What are you arguing about, adults have their own opinions."
Everyone was noisy and shouting, like that, as if a starving ghost was reincarnated, Qiu Liu wanted to laugh when he saw it on the side.
"Go aside, don't shout." Ya Ping kicked away a soldier who was close to him and said loudly: "Okay, all wait on the side, keep the rules, don't let Shopkeeper Qiu look at the joke." (To be continued......)
