Chapter 58: White Horse Temple (5)

"But I had to promise him first, because I was a small man after all, and if I rejected him now, he would have a grudge against me."

"So I took the money and went to the frontier with the people he gave me."

"I'm talking to that guy along the way."

"At first, the man was reluctant to say something to me, maybe he was a cold person in the first place."

"But after all, he's a man, so I bought some wine to cover his words."

"At first, he didn't trust me, and he didn't drink as much as I did."

"But maybe because he saw that I was more honest, he began to trust me, and even drank a little more."

"So this time he drank too much, and I asked the doubts in my heart."

"I remember the conversation I had with him that day."

Then Li Jiaoyang recalled that day.

That day, Li Jiaoyang and he drove for a day, the horse was tired, and they met a small shop on the way, so the two of them booked a room. Q: Why book a room? That's because the powerful man was afraid that he would run away, so he kept this person supervising him and staring at him, so he lived in a room. Li Jiaoyang went downstairs and asked for two or two beef, a few side dishes, and a few catties of wine. And he drank with the man. The two of them drank a glass of wine and I drank a cup of wine, probably to a certain extent, and the man felt that he could not drink anymore, so he put down the wine glass and only cared about eating. But Li Jiaoyang originally wanted to talk to him, how could he be so willing? So Li Jiaoyang persuaded him to drink a few more glasses, and just like that, the man got drunk. In order to see if he was drunk, Li Jiaoyang tried to ask him something. Li Jiaoyang was afraid that he was pretending to be drunk, but he was not really drunk. is also to test whether Li Jiaoyang is really honest. Li Jiaoyang took advantage of the excitement and poured him a few cups. This time, the man was really drunk, and he couldn't sit still. That person didn't want to go to bed, and as soon as Li Jiaoyang stopped him, he began to talk to him. The first thing to start with is to talk about family and family.

"Brother, you said that I have been gone for a long time, and my family doesn't know and doesn't want me."

"Scholar, listen to what you say, hey, I've been away from home for a long time."

"Then why are you so homesick that you want to accompany me to the frontier?"

"You missed home, didn't you come too."

"We're all in it for the money."

"You said that the country is in such turmoil now, we still have to go to this side of Xinjiang, and I don't know if we can go back."

"It's okay, hey, if you are a scholar, you will be worried. Do you think I'm as powerless as you are? ”

"Anyway, I'm a guy who has been in the barracks."

"Then why did you become a domestic servant?"

"Who told you that I am a domestic servant, I am not a domestic servant."

"You are not a domestic servant, but you listen to your master and come with me to the frontier."

"I'm really not a mother-in-law, I'm just a captive soldier."

"And the existence of private soldiers?"

"What's so curious about this, now this country is in chaos, and there are not all soil emperors."

"Who doesn't have a private soldier yet, you really don't know much. Now follow your brother and me, and you will see more. ”

"Hahaha, I still have to rely on you."

"The main patron is a powerful person, but why did he ask me to draw a map of this territory?"

Hearing this, the man took his hand and paused. glanced at the scholar, and seemed to ask the scholar not to talk too much.
