The old soldier's cheeks twitched a few times, his eyes flickered, and he whispered for a while: "Hui Ye, the little family has been a military household for several generations, and when the little grandfather was in the forbidden army, he followed the rules of General Wuda, and after a battle, the living ones were promoted, and the little grandfather first became the commander of the ten, and then he did the capital, and the little father attacked the capital, and then changed the rules." ”

Li Xiaoqi looked at the old box soldier, waiting for him to go down, the old box soldier muttered for a long time, and then continued: "The little ancestor has several generations of military households, and the ancestral life-saving method, ask for a life•••••• live a life." The old soldier shrank his head and said embarrassedly, Li Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Your grandfather, your father, have all had a good death?" Didn't die on the battlefield? ”

"Yes." The old soldier hung his head and replied, Li Xiaoqi was even more interested: "Tell me, what are the ways to save your life?" ”

"This •••••• Huiye, it's a long story, this, it's going to be a while, it's not clear, this ••••••" The old soldier squeaked and planned to pass vaguely.

Li Zongliang was surprised and sighed when he heard it, Wei Shuisheng looked at Li Xiaoqi thoughtfully, but Lu Feng was appreciative, this old soldier is a smart person, Li Erhuai snorted: "Cowardly and afraid of death!" ”

"Afraid of death? You're not afraid of death, aren't you? You seem to have said that your father once taught you, what should you do if you can't beat it? Li Xiaoqi turned his head, looked at Li Erhuai and asked, Li Erhuai replied straightforwardly: "Master said, if you can't beat it, run away!" ”

Lu Feng laughed out loud, these brothers, Li Erhuai is the most sincere, honest and honest half a minute does not turn, Wei Shuisheng and Li Zongliang also shook their heads while laughing, the old box soldier also wanted to laugh, and hurriedly held his back, Li Erhuai was embarrassed by everyone's laughter and scratched his head, Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at the old box soldier, and asked politely: "After talking for a long time, I haven't asked your surname?" ”

The old box soldier was politely alarmed by Li Xiaoyi, and hurriedly waved his hand and replied: "Don't be expensive, the small surname is Cheng, the cheap name is Cheng Wang, please spare the little one this time." ”

"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, let me ask you, you are also in your forties this year, do you have any plans for the future?" Li Xiaoqi politely mixed a lot of harmony in, Lu Feng looked at Li Xiaoqi suspiciously, what bad idea is this little demon going to fight?

Cheng Wang looked at Li Xiaomi, who was unusually amiable, in disbelief, shrunk even tighter, and replied cautiously: "Master Hui, what can you do if you are so young?" Wait for death, after two years, I can ask for a messenger to guard the house, so that I can go in one breath, and I will be gone. ”

"Alas!" Li Xiaoqi sighed sadly at what Cheng Wang said, stood up and looked at Lu Feng and said, "You send him to Zhang Gouzi, tell Zhang Gouzi, call Chef Zhang up, get Lao Cheng something to eat, eat, and let Zhang Gouzi find a place for Lao Cheng to sleep well." As he spoke, he turned to Cheng Wang and said kindly: "It's late today, let's rest here for the night first, and then talk about it early tomorrow morning, don't be afraid." ”

Lu Feng frowned sullenly, and reluctantly took the more suspicious Cheng Wang out of the house to find Zhang Gouzi.

Li Xiaoqi watched the two of them go out of the house, turned to look at Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng, who were looking at her, and said, "Big brother, Brother Shuisheng, this Cheng Wang is a capable person, it is better to leave him on our mountain." ”

"Competent? What are you capable of? What is it to save your life? Li Erhuai said disapprerovingly, Li Xiaoqi looked at him and sighed heavily: "This ability to save his life is not a skill?" To be able to save your life, that's the greatest ability! Look at him, a family of three generations of forbidden soldiers, all of them have lived a good life and died well, this ability, is not called ability? ”

"Xiao Qi is right, this is a big skill, and those who can survive on the battlefield are all big skills." Wei Shuisheng stretched out his hand and patted Li Erhuai, who was disapproving, but didn't know how to refute it, turned his head to look at Li Zongliang and agreed: "I think it's okay, leave him on our mountain, his life-saving methods, let's take a look first, pick what can be learned, let the big guy learn, there is really something to do in the future, and there are many ways to live." ”

Li Zongliang nodded: "Xiao Mi thinks long-term, okay!" It's so decided, Guizi is not here, Shui Sheng turned around and told Guizi about it, ask this Cheng Wang early tomorrow morning, if he is willing, then it will be decided. ”

The next day, Li Zongliang called Cheng Wang in, and said kindly that he wanted to keep him as a leader, Cheng Wang was stunned and dazed but couldn't believe it, it took more than half a day to ease up, and he was busy agreeing repeatedly, he lived for most of his life, and someone actually looked up to him and politely invited him! I can see his •••••• and this way of escaping for his life, and I want to learn his way of escaping, and I want to ask him to be the head of the sect and teach this method of escaping! Cheng Wang was dizzy, he couldn't believe it, those who led the troops, big and small, which one didn't shout and make people desperate? Dare to teach the soldier to escape, that is to kill the head! Until the middle of the night, lying in the dry and soft quilt, Cheng Wang suddenly woke up, sat up suddenly, was stunned for a long time, and bit the somewhat red and swollen arm that had been bitten, it really hurt! It's true!

Li Xiaoqi, Li Zonggui, and Lu Feng had already arrived in Tang County, and they were strolling around the black market with their heads and faces tightly wrapped.

This black market is getting more and more lively, and things are becoming more and more complete, it is simply everything, the official black market is different from the spontaneous black market, full of confidence, fast development, Li Xiaoqi slandered the evil Tang County magistrate while slowly strolling over one by one.

As long as there is silver, there is no shortage of grain at all, and fine grains such as japonica can still be sold at some price, and those coarse japonica rye are not worth anything at all! What a good one! When she didn't get food, why was it so expensive and so little? Li Xiaoqi continued to shop sullenly, well, this red date seems to be expensive again, Li Xiaoqi stood not far from a middle-aged woman, listening to her low bargaining, but where did this price come down? The middle-aged woman was in pain and pointed out a lot of money one by one, and one by one she gestured and weighed the amount of red dates, lest the red dates picked were too small and light, and then she would suffer a big loss.

Li Xiaomi's eyes moved from red dates to other bags in the car, the bags only opened a small opening, Li Xiaoqi moved forward, carefully distinguished, there are lotus seeds, white fungus, red beans, etc., there are no very strange things, Li Xiaoqi reached out and took a lotus seed, looked carefully, looked at the stall owner and asked politely: "Uncle, is there a bird's nest?" ”

The stall owner laughed: "This young master is from another county, right?" In our market here, the bird's nest has been broken for a while, and there are a few taels of red ginseng, and I have it here! ”

"It's not from another county, it's from the countryside, my grandmother is sick and wants to eat a bowl of bird's nest porridge." Li Xiaoqi asked blankly and sadly, and the stall owner looked at Li Xiaoqi with pity and sighed.

"What is the price of red ginseng" Li Xiaoqi then asked, and the stall hand touched a very small cloth bag from under the car, carefully untied it and handed it to Li Xiaoqi: "Look at it, the thickness of the chopsticks, Mantang County, just these few, you are also a filial piety, count you cheaper, you give twenty taels of silver." ”

"Twenty taels of silver?!" Li Xiaoqi was taken aback: "It's just such a root, so thin, and it's red ginseng again!" ”

"Little brother, when is this? Just a little red ginseng can save your life! Twenty taels, it's also my view that you are filial to your grandmother, and it will be cheaper for you, you see, you can sell it for twenty-four or five taels tomorrow! This thing, one price a day! The stall owner was called by Li Xiaoqi and said with an unhappy face, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm sorry uncle, I didn't mean it, but it was too expensive, I was shocked!" We can't afford to eat this ginseng! ”

"I can't afford to eat this, so I can't afford to eat bird's nest!" The stall owner said unceremoniously, Li Xiaoqi laughed with him, gave up his annoyance, and hurriedly retreated to the side, and the three of them walked around for a while, seeing a few fierce black strong men come over and collect the money from the market, and then turned back to the foot shop.

The next day, the three of them gathered in Li Zonggui's house, and Li Xiaoqi carefully made a small calculation: "Brother Guizi, let's go to a farther place, such as Xinyang Mansion, and sell red dates and bird's nests. ”

"Ten times? If it's so easy to earn ten times the interest, still waiting for you to do this business? Someone has done it a long time ago, and there are many smart people! You think you're the only one who is smart? Lu Feng said with a smile, Li Xiaoqi glanced at him fiercely, but Li Zonggui agreed: "Lu Feng is right, there is ten times the risk of ten times the interest, think about it, now these counties, the officials are forcing the people to rebel, there are robbers and bandits everywhere, if it is not like this, those caravans will not be willing to come to these counties, we can run this business There are not many people, not even a big dart game, and the mountains can't cut off people, this way over, back and forth at least a month or two, in the past two months, one is not careful, This trip is in vain, maybe you have to break someone's hands to get in, it's easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but it's difficult to prevent thieves for a thousand days. ”

Lu Feng smiled 'poof', hugged his legs and leaned back and shook his head back, nodded at Li Xiaoqi and said: "Hear it, even if you are a thief, but this thief is not easy, you still obediently be your thief, you are the most talented thief!" ”

Li Xiaoqi was annoyed and misplaced, just after a while, he suddenly seemed to think of something, raised his eyebrows, his face oozed a trace of joy, pointed at Lu Feng and said: "You reminded me, well, I have a job here, ten taels of gold, can you take it?" ”

Lu Feng straightened his upper body vigilantly, looked at Li Xiaoqi and said cautiously: "Let's talk about it first, what kind of work?" I'll see if it's worth it. ”

"Of course it's worth it, this job is simply for you to take advantage of, you go to the north gate of Zhengcheng to inquire and see if the second prince is in the army, if he is, where is he stationed, what is around, just find out, how about it? There's no better way to live, right? ”
