Chapter Seventy-Three: Reunification of the North and the South
A man who looked like an officer took Yongwen's words, and took the opportunity to curry favor with Cheng Lifeng, but Cheng Lifeng was not easy to refuse, so he also drank with him.
The older overseer-looking man sighed, and when the big guys were a little quieter, he said unhurriedly, "If the north and the south are to be truly unified, the battle must be fought." It's just that I don't know how to fight, the soldiers in Guo Yi's hands in the north are on par with us, not to mention that most of the northerners are rough and tall. ”
This person is the governor of Xicheng, Ye Yinglong. I joined the army when I was young, and I climbed to this position for decades, and the blood stains on my body have long been washed away, and the smell of blood can be felt from a distance of three meters.
Hearing Ye Yinglong mention her father-in-law, An Lingyu's heart twitched, and she hurriedly pricked up her ears and continued to listen.
Who knew that he didn't continue to speak, just drinking liquor alone, looking sullen.
An Lingyu was a little anxious, she knew the current map and situation very well. If there is a war between the north and the south, the first thing to suffer is Xicheng, which is connected with the north, and now there is no conflict between Xicheng and the north, and each is safe.
Therefore, Ye Yinglong was reluctant to fight, and deliberately made a hard request to make everyone retreat. But what he didn't know was that for this battle, the people on both sides of the north and south had been preparing for a very long time, and both sides were bound to win this battle.
"Lao Ye, this is not right, how can you be discouraged first when you fight with others!?" A tall overseer-looking man shouted loudly, a shiny roasted chicken leg in one hand, and from time to time the beauty next to him poured him another glass of wine, so happy.
"Although we are not as strong as the people in the north, we have enough food and food, and the horses are well fed before we can run. It's not that they have changed food from us every year. ”
This person is Liang Overseer, it can be said that he is the richest among the overseers here, and his land produces the most grain, that is called a strong soldier and a strong horse, and he is a kind person, and some people who were originally some loud horse bandits were all collected by him as officers and soldiers.
Ye Yinglong was slightly unhappy when he heard Lao Liang say this, and finally said the words in his heart: "That being said, yes, but if the fight starts, it must be my Xicheng that suffers first, and we can't throw Xicheng out." ”
When these words were spoken, there was a few seconds of silence in the banquet, and people looked at each other, and no one knew how to pick it up, after all, the first one to fight with the north must be Xicheng, but there is no doubt that it will play well on its own territory.
So basically no one was willing to pick up Ye Yinglong's words, everyone was just silent for a few seconds, and they were all carefully observing to see who would be the first to eat crabs and help Xicheng.
One more friend is better than one more enemy, if someone preempts someone and loses a comrade-in-arms, then you will vomit blood in anger. After watching the actions of others, everyone tacitly agreed that there was no squeak.
Only Lao Liang, who has always claimed to be a good man, was stuffed with meat in his mouth, and he was still holding a roast pig's head in his hand and gnawing on it, and when he saw that no one paid attention to Ye Yinglong, he said loudly:
"Haha, don't worry, Lao Ye, I won't throw you out alone! There are so many of us, and we have definitely beaten Guo Yi's thief. ”
At best, he was comforting Ye Yinglong, but after listening carefully, he found that he didn't promise him anything.
An Lingyu hooked the corners of her lips, sure enough, how can there be any good people.
Where can a good man survive in such a bunch of animals that eat people and don't spit out bones. None of these people are simple, and to communicate with them, you must be mentally uplifted, because if you are not careful, you will be swallowed up.
After Lao Liang finished gnawing the roasted pig's head meat, he picked up a braised lamb leg, and came to An Lingyu's side while gnawing, and said with a big grin to Cheng Lifeng, who had just arrived.
"Sanshao, don't you want to introduce this beauty? Looking at this person, he is glamorous in the crowd, and when I look at this one next to your kid, I instantly feel that those in my house are all rouge vulgar fans! Hahaha! ”
An Lingyu hurriedly smiled at Lao Liang and said, "Liang Dujun said that he was laughing, you can call me red tears." ”
Here, Ye Yinglong was also grateful to Lao Liang for relieving him of embarrassment, and wanted to make friends with Cheng Lifeng, so he followed, and heard An Lingyu's charming voice from a distance and asked: "I have heard that Ye Yinglong, the overseer of Xicheng, is majestic, and when I see it today, it is really like this, and red tears are a long insight." It is said that you were the first-class merit in exterminating the mountain bandits, and those mountain bandits heard that they were rich, and the gold and silver mountains at home were all piled up, and the pearls were all huge and round. ”
Ye Yinglong's daughter is also about the same size as An Lingyu, and he loves his youngest daughter the most, more than any son. Listening to the tone of this little daughter's family, Ye Yinglong couldn't help but think of his own daughter, so he said proudly.
"That's it, the pearl bracelet on my daughter's daughter's daughter's hand, and the pearl necklace around my wife's neck, all of which were obtained from the extermination of the mountain bandits! However, the mountain bandit is worth a few dollars of pearls, and he eats the sea by the sea, and he is not half of my Ye Mansion's property. ”
An Lingyu winked playfully and said with a smile: "In this case, can the grain sold to you by Overseer Liang be transferred to us, you know, our side has recently suffered natural and man-made disasters." There has been another flood in the Yangtze River, where is there enough to eat, you have a lot of it, just help us. ”
Ye Yinglong's hand touching his beard stopped, and he choked for a while and didn't know what to say. Refuse, this Lao Liang and Cheng Lifeng are listening here with their ears pricked up, don't refuse, that's food.
He was fortunate to be deducted from Lao Liang's mouth, why did he give it to others?
"Hahaha, you girl, you're digging a pit for the old man! Yes, yes, the brain is flexible enough, but this food is ...... I can give it, but I have a question here that I want to test you, you can talk about it. What I said won my heart, then I will give Cheng Lifeng the original price, if it can't be done, then sell it to you three times. ”
Ye Yinglong's slightly old eyes flashed a gleam, if this smart woman could tell the question he asked, even if this grain was sold, it would be very worthwhile.
An Lingyu raised her eyebrows, and said quietly, "Please speak." ”
Ye Yinglong shook his red wine glass, glanced at An Lingyu with a smile, and said slowly: "I got a new batch of coarse salt, you know, fine salt is very expensive, and I can't afford to eat it." I bought some coarse salt, but this coarse salt can't be eaten directly, and eating it directly will kill people. ”
