Volume 3 Chapter 8 The Little Shop Encounters
The people in the silver clothes and trousers opposite were shocked when they saw the military flag. One of the leader-like men clasped his fist at Baozi, "Dare to ask, which team your Excellency is from and where are you going." ”
It couldn't be clearer who this group of people is, only the fox demon yellow monster is willing to dress himself up as a beautiful boy. They are the people of Luding Mountain, and they are the scouts of the besieging troops.
Baozi knew that most of the immortals in Luding Mountain knew him, and it was not appropriate to reveal his identity at this time, so he lowered his cloak and replied, "We are waiting for the troops who are assisting the besieged military camp ahead." ”
Hearing Baozi's intention to reveal like this, Li Si was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close, this kid is looking for death, the nine-person siege relief team, after the strong wind just now, blew one away, and eight people carried a big flag into the enemy formation, so bold.
The young general looked around at the few people opposite, the old and the small, with a rusty iron knife on his waist, his face covered with dust, and he couldn't help laughing, "I don't know what kind of division-level unit can send such a scout, hey, you shouldn't be a scout, how can there be a scout reconnaissance with a flag?" ”
"You know a lot" Baozi reminded the young player opposite, saying too much will be lost. The thieves will think that everyone is a thief, and they reveal their identity as scouts without revealing themselves, Kong Dechang explained, "We are the vanguard, and the wind and sand are too big just now, and we are separated from the large army. Another arch of his hand, "Dare to ask Your Excellency"
The young general thought for a moment, "We are businessmen"
"What are you selling?"
"Weapons, Jewels, Spirits....."
"Look at the goods, our sword has to be exchanged after a few battles." Baozi asked indifferently.
"Okay, this treasure knife of mine is made of Xuantie, and it is worth fifty catties of salina grass. Not expensive, right? "The young general took off his saber and put it on the table, engraved with the words Hanging Dragon Mansion refinement, he is indeed the third prince's person!
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, but there's not enough salina grass down there." Baozi said.
"Then what are you talking about" The young general alertly spied on the strength of Baozi's team, including the amount of grain and grass carried, and he found that the team in front of him did not have the ability to march long distances.
"In this case, you lend me first, give me all your weapons, and I will give you a slip, and in a moment the great army will come, and you will ask them for money, and you will be paid only a little more. Be of good cheer. ”
"Big troops? How many soldiers and horses do you have? ”
"The sea has gone," Song Yu hurriedly replied, "The mountains and fields are all coming this way." If it weren't for the strong winds, they.... Soon to arrive! ”
The young general's pupils suddenly flashed, and he turned to a look of disbelief. Li Si understood the meaning of Baozi, and at the moment of unanimity, he temporarily shelved his hostility towards Baozi, and echoed and said to the young general, "Brother, think about it, there is no chance if you don't do this deal." ”
"When a merchant meets a soldier, he can't explain it reasonably," the young general smiled and waved his hand, "I don't do business with soldiers, when your team arrives, please introduce me to your commander to speak, and thank you for the military leaders after the matter is completed." ”
The identities of both sides are clear to everyone, and the guise of the businessman is nothing more than a thin fig leaf. If you continue to die like this, you will inevitably lose your words, and everyone will show your stuff sooner or later. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, the old and young remnants under Baozi are the opponents of the heroic teenagers on the opposite side, and it is impossible for them to attack the people of Ludingshan, once there is a conflict, the victory or defeat will be immediately apparent. These thoughts rushed through the minds of both sides, and everyone was expecting the damned wind to stop so that the men of the two enemy camps could quickly go their separate ways.
The young general asked the boss, "How long will this wind and sand pass?" ”
The boss pointed to the sky and said, "The moon rises again, and the wind and sand can stop." ”
The young general was a little anxious, he held on to the window railing, tilted his head and looked in the direction where the bun came, how could he fly sand and stones outside, a chaotic world. Baozi sensed from his body language that as a scout, he needed to listen to the number and size of reinforcements, and he couldn't wait to probe in the direction he came from in order to make a solid judgment. There must be heavy troops in ambush in the valley, and reinforcements are even the decisive significance of this battle.
They are not willing to send out only eight reinforcements, and they will not believe that there are only eight reinforcements.
The two sides looked at each other coldly, knowing each other's identities, but they were inconvenient to pierce it, and the scene was tense and embarrassing.
Baozi walked up to the young general who was watching from the window, raised his cloak slightly, revealing his clear face, and said to the young general, "Little brother, how about you change my short knife for your long knife?" ”
The young general did not look at his face first, but instinctively looked at the hand stretched out by Baozi, the short knife given by Yang Xiu was placed in front of him, the inlaid brilliant gems and the pattern of the gods and ghosts were shining, the young general took the knife suspiciously, and muttered to himself, "It's so familiar." Where have I seen it. ”
Baozi smiled: "Don't say you lost it." ”
The young general shook his head, he half-pulled the treasure knife, and a cold light was born in the dim light of the store, which did not affect the dazzle of the knife.
Seeing that he still didn't understand, Bao Zi added a reminder, "This knife is a knife used by the chief official of the underworld, and it is a first-class weapon for stabbing souls and killing ghosts." ”
The young general suddenly cleared, his eyes widened, and then he looked up at Baozi's face, and was so shocked by the person in front of him that he couldn't speak, "Your Excellency!" ”
"Hey!" Baozi blocked him, "If you see through it, you don't say it, the rivers and lakes are easy to meet." ”
"Your Excellency! Exchange the treasure knife for the defective products we are waiting for, and the transaction is at a loss" The young general is still smart, and he turned the conversation back.
Baozi smiled, "Let me add, this knife is exchanged for your eight weapons to deal with the dangers along the way." ”
The young general did not refuse, he arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, how can I return to the owner." The consciousness of this sentence is, let's talk to the third prince about what to say.
Baozi said, "You know the weight of this treasure, how can the owner not know it." I'm going to visit you in the future. ”
The young general turned around, took out a big pearl that is a specialty of Xuanwu Lake, put it on the counter of the store, and said very sensibly, "This group of military masters have worked extremely hard to protect the country and defend the family, and when they left, they added fifty catties of salonium powder and twenty catties of wine." ”
Kong Dechang quietly asked Baozi, "The purpose of these scouts is to find out the news, why are they really doing business?" They handed over their equipment, how can they investigate? ”
Baozi smiled, and said in his heart that it would be best not to investigate, and immediately return to the camp to hand over the knife, so as not to cause trouble.
Song Yu whispered to Baozi, "I think you really love this knife, the items you brought with your body have been collected and destroyed, but you hide it well, and now you want to sell it to these people cheaply, won't it be just to exchange weapons and add some food and grass, right?" ”
Kong Dechang also said, "Captain, we are not hungry enough to be a knife." ”
Li Si and the three people under him looked at the bun with white eyes, "People are generous, they sell what they like, why do you care so wide." ”
Peng Yue just smiled and sharpened the rougher knife in his hand with a rough stone.
After seeing the knife, the young general's attitude towards Baozi and others changed dramatically, not only ordering all kinds of pastries for everyone to eat, but also serving a few jars of hot wine, and the account was all on his head. Everyone knows that the young general's side is a scout of the immortal soldiers, and this change makes Li Si and the others who don't know what to do even more suspicious, this can't be a trick of wine, right? It can be seen that Baozi eats and drinks happily, and scolds Baozi for being brainless and heartless, and it is not good to have a seizure in person, so he has to "clean himself", and tells his three brothers not to eat or drink, and hide aside to watch the wind and wait for action.
Three hours later, the wind stopped, and the dead moon reappeared in the sky.
The young general hurriedly said goodbye to Baozi and the others, handed over all his weapons, only picked up Baozi's saber, and galloped away in the direction of the canyon.
As soon as the scout and his party left, Li Si scolded on the back foot, accusing Baozi of secretly communicating with the enemy, "You kid is taking us to the ghost gate!" ”
Baozi still explained: "If there are really soldiers and horses coming all over the mountains, then the canyon will inevitably be ambushed, and they will fight reinforcements; If just a few of us entered the valley, there would be no big moves, and they would not expose their intentions because of a few of us who are old, weak, sick and disabled. So, go ahead into the valley. ”
Li Si's angry muscles burst out, "Your kid has only been here for a few days, Lao Tzu has been fighting here for almost four hundred years, just a few of us, people will throw a few stones and destroy us!" Even the firepower does not need to be exposed! ”
Baozi said, "We are exterminated, which itself is the meaning of Kuroki." We can't go along with him, can we? ”
Peng Yue stood up, "Don't fight, listen to the captain, let's go." ”
The people who didn't speak had enough weight to speak, Kong Dechang and Song Yu packed up their things and followed Peng Yue and the others out of the door. Baozi then also went out, "Li Si, if you are afraid, you can go back now, I won't stop you." ”
Of course, Li Si knew Heimu's intentions, and he would definitely die if he went back. Baozi warmed the stuffing and said, "The left and right are dead, why don't you bet, I bet that you can live." Besides, don't you want to see what happens when I lose my bet and get killed? ”
