"Little brother, what you think it is." The black boss patted the sack.

"It's so swollen, it's definitely not rice." Liu Yuntian smiled, "Can you open it and take a look?" ”

"No, you can't." Hei Dashuai waved his hand, "Without the order of our general, you can't open the sack casually." ”

"Okay. Then all the men go to the stone arch bridge, and your general is waiting there. Liu Yuntian said.

"Okay." Hei Dashuai responded, and then he said to Zhang Weijun, Li Dayu and others, "Everyone get ready, we are going to the village." ”

"Yes, Black Marshal." Everyone responded, jumped on horseback one by one, grabbed the reins, and walked in the direction of the stone arch bridge, and Huang Qinggong also drove the grain cart and followed.

Liu Yuntian followed behind the group, trotting all the way, he ran so fast that he could almost run parallel to the horses.

"Brother, are you familiar with our general?" Hei Dashuai asked.

"I'm not familiar, I just met today." Liu Yuntian responded, "I've just heard of his nickname, Gong Laoxue." Five or six years ago, all the gamblers in the Niushiqiao area knew him, and before joining the army, he lost all his clothes and coils once or twice, and walked naked back to Tangweichong. ”

"Oh. I heard that General Gong's family opened a money bank, is it true? ”

"That money village is not from the general's family, it belongs to his uncle's family."

"Brother, how far is Tangwei Chong from here?"

"It's not far away, it's only five or six miles. I ask you something, did Gong Laoxue really become a general? ”

"That's right."

"The general should have thousands of soldiers following, why are you so small?"

"There are regulations in the imperial court, and you can't take all the teams away when you return to your hometown."

"Oh. How many soldiers does Gong Laoxue plan to recruit when he comes back this time? ”

"I don't know...... Recruit as much as you want. ”

"How many taels of silver can an ordinary soldier get a month?"

"Three, two, four. If you have made a meritorious service, you will be rewarded separately. ”

"I heard that the regular army of Qinghe only takes one or two or five dollars a month, why can your troops take so much?"

"We are different from the imperial court, we use a conscription system, which is naturally much higher than the regular army."

"What does conscription mean?"

"In layman's terms, it is a mercenary of a local regiment training arm, a private army."

"Oh, I see." ……

As he spoke, he arrived at the stone arch bridge. Everyone stopped and saluted Gong Changyu together: "General, general—"

"Hmm. Liu Laosan, take a good look, how does my team compare with Er Laizi? Gong Changyu smiled slightly.

Liu Yishou saw that everyone was carrying a revolver in their hands, not a musket, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Gong Laoxue, do you know how to do tricks?" Obviously, on the other side of the gazebo, I saw that they were all empty-handed. ”

"Liu Laosan, the pistols are all tied around the waist and covered by clothes, you can't see them." Gong Changyu looked at Liu Yishou coldly, "Where is Er Laizi in Wuyou City now?" ”

"Gong Laoxue, I can't tell you this, unless you give me five taels of silver." Liu twisted the water on his clothes with one hand.

"Two taels of silver at most." Gong Changyu stretched out two fingers.

"Four-tael." Liu Yishou immediately lowered the price.

"Two-two." Gong Changyu insisted on not changing.

"Three taels, no less!" Liu Yishou shouted.

"Ertael, do you want to say it?" Gong Changyu said.

"Don't say it." Liu twisted his head with one hand.

"Don't say it, I'll go back to Tangwei." Gong Changyu kicked the saddle.

Liu gritted his teeth with one hand, and then yawned in typing: "More is better than less, less is not as good as less, two or two is two." You pay first, and I'll tell me. ”

"Hei Dashuai, you take out two ingots of silver and give them to this smoker." Gong Changyu said.

"Yes. Checkmate. Hei Dashuai got out of the car, walked behind the tow box of grain and grass, quickly untied the sack, took out two ingots of silver, and stuffed them into Liu Yishou's arms.

Liu Yiyi's eyes lit up, and at a glance, he saw a sack full of silver taels full of white flowers, and his eyes were staring into copper bells: "Wow, so much silver, there are hundreds of taels in a bag, right?" ”

"You don't care how much silver I have, these are all used to recruit troops and buy horses......" Gong Changyu took out twenty taels of silver from the sack and said to Liu Yuntian, "Little brother, come here, these twenty taels are your settlement expenses." ”

"General Gong ......" Liu Yuntian changed his words and said that Gong Changyu was a general, a little embarrassed, "Don't have so many ......"

"Take it, General Ben said, as long as you throw Liu Laosan into the water, it will be twenty taels of silver. How's it going, isn't this money easy? Gong Changyu smiled slightly.

"Hehe, it's much faster than doing long-term work." Liu Yuntian scratched his head, "General Gong, I have already thought about it, and I have decided to join your army and follow you to kill the Blue Wolf Army!" You wait for me for a while, and I'll go back and talk to my mother. ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, you go back to eat first. When you are free, come to the Zhujia compound to find me. Remember, I only have three days, and I can't wait. Gong Changyu told Liu Yuntian.

"Okay." Liu Yuntian carried the silver and ran home happily......

Liu Yishou saw that Liu Yuntian, who was honest, took ten times the amount of silver he had, and was very unconvinced: "Gong Laoxue, why does that poor bastard take more than me?" ”

"For he is my soldier, and he is more honest than you, and kinder than you. You took my money, why didn't you tell me the whereabouts of Erlaizi? Gong Changyu suddenly remembered the villain Er Laizi.

"Erlaizi...... He had several dwellings in Wuyou City, and I had only been to one of them, as if it was in the middle of the south gate. Liu paused and grinned, "If you want to know which house it is, you'll have to increase the price." ”

"Liu Laosan, you stop...... I'll give you a hundred taels, and you're providing false information, what's the use? Er Laizi is in the big tobacco business, the kind that is especially hated, he is very shrewd, and the cunning rabbit also has three holes. Erlaizi is likely to have thirty caves in Wuyou City. Gong Changyu coughed dryly, "You gamble in Niushiqiao every day, and you don't know about the smuggling of big tobacco in Wuyou City." ”

"Liu Yinxi and I often go to the Zangchun Building on the street of Yingchun Gate to have fun, and we have collided with Er Laizi several times, and he only has one hand......" Liu Yishou said vividly, it seems that he really saw Er Laizi.

"However, I haven't seen Erlaizi since last winter, and it is said that after wearing a fake wrist, he took his twenty muskets to Jingbei County and joined the long-haired team in Heyang Town." Erlaizi added.

"Oh. So, Er Laizi is no longer in Wuyou City? Gong Changyu couldn't help but touch the scar on his back.

"But Erlaizi's big smoke house is still open as usual in Wuyou City, and General Dong'an Xi Qitian's subordinates have forcibly closed it several times, but it has not worked. Sealed and opened, opened and sealed, repeatedly banned. Every time I went to check, I only found a few cigarette ......," Liu continued.

"Didn't General Xi Qitian serve as a recruiting counselor in Liu Tianyou's army?" Gong Changyu asked.

"I heard that Shi Xianda of the Blue Wolf Country attacked Yingyang Mansion, and Xi Qitian came back quietly......" Liu swallowed his saliva with one hand, "Gong Laoxue, is the information I provided to you useful?" ”

"A little bit." Gong Changyu nodded, "That's it, why don't you join my staff too, and I'll give you five taels of silver a month?" ”

"Thank you, I'm almost fifty years old, and I can't endure those hardships." Liu Yishou never forgot the silver on Gong Changyu's grain truck, "Gong Laoxue, if your horse is not borrowed for me to use, I will go and find some rich businessmen for you, let's put together a platform, I will give you a thousand dollars, and ensure that your silver is doubled." ”

"Liu Yishou, I was caught at the gambling table, but I want to chop my hands, you know this rule better than me." Gong Changyu said slowly, "I was miserable by you, and I went to Wuyou City to join the army when I was desperate." Fortunately, I have quit gambling for many years, otherwise I would have been dragged into the water by you again today, and I would have created retribution by using indiscriminate means to win ill-gotten gains. ”

Liu Yishou threw two ingots of silver into the air, and caught it again, "I, Liu Yiyi, have won no less than 10,000 taels of silver at the gambling table in my life, but in the end I still have nothing, and I smoked this damn big cigarette, hey...... "Gamble is not gambling, today I finally understand a sentence, the prodigal son will not change his money." It's not too early, so I won't delay your journey. ”

"Liu Laosan, I hope you will think about it again, come to my staff and be a staff member, maybe you can live the rest of your life well." Gong Changyu said.

"Thank you very much." Liu untied the cigarette gun with one hand, threw it suddenly, and the cigarette gun fell into the river, and said meaningfully, "It is better for a person to have more kindness and less evil thoughts." ”……

Gong Changyu took Feng Jiao'er, Ran Jiufeng, Hei Dashuai and others, walked for about half an hour, and then arrived under the big tree in Qingtaishui. He reined in his horse's head and said to Feng Jiao'er, "You wait here for a while, and I'll go to see my uncle and come out." ”

"Changyu, I'll go with you." Feng Jiao'er grabbed Gong Changyu's sleeve and said.

"Okay." Gong Changyu nodded. He jumped off the horse, reached out to grab Feng Jiao'er's slender waist, and hugged her down.

"Changyu, so many people are watching! I'm sorry. Feng Jiao'er stretched out her pink fist and pounded Gong Changyu's shoulder, "Quickly let me down, Changyu." ”

"Oh." Gong Changyu reluctantly let go of his hand.

"General Gong, we didn't see anything." Hei Dashuai, Zhang Weijun, Liu Dawei and others laughed.

"You have all seen it...... Celestia Celestia has so many hands. Gong Changyu deliberately rubbed his shoulders.

"Brother Changyu, don't show affection, we're all starving." Ran Jiufeng shouted, "Tangwei Chong is too closed, too backward, where this bird doesn't, there is not a restaurant!" ”
