Chapter 486 The Task of Depression
At first, I thought that we were discovered by others, but after I saw it clearly, I found out that it was Cao Gong's army that had encountered Yuan's army, and both sides thought that the other party had taken something and had already set up a position on the road.
"Let's go, don't fight them. I said.
I heard the sound of killing under the mountain, and the sound of swords and guns colliding was in my ears.
We had just crossed the ridge of the hill when we found dozens of soldiers coming up the hill and blocking us halfway up the hill.
"Cao Hong?" I sighed.
Liu Laosi said: "He didn't fight with others in front of the mountain, why did he come here?"
"Why are so many people fighting for Longyangjun's cemetery here, there are no good things in it, it would be good to be able to keep it. Acai said.
"Are these people crazy?" Wu Shu said.
Cao Hong shouted: "A few people on the other side, aren't you the evil seed of the Yuan family's army?"
"General Cao, we are not Yuan Jiajun, we are just passing merchants. I shouted.
"Since it's a merchant, why don't you come from the main road?" Cao Hong said.
I smiled and said, "There is a war on the main road, and there is also a war at the city gate, where are we ordinary people going? ”
"Oh, it seems that you are good people?" Cao Hong then smiled: "It seems that you don't want to tell the truth, since you all know me, you must have seen me, and you should have crossed paths with the princes of various families." ”
"My lord is wrong, I saw you when I went to the Tiger Prison to sell goods the last time, and when I saw Cao Gong, he didn't have some crispy pears for me. I said.
As we spoke, more than a dozen of Cao's troops under the mountain had already come up, surrounding us.
"Little brother, what should I do?" said Acai.
I said, "We're tired of traveling, we can't fight with them, we'll suffer, so we can only go down and have a look." ”
"Chief, I still have the strength to fight with them. Liu Lao Si said.
I said, "No, go down and see, that Cao Hong was not given for nothing, I have seen him training soldiers in the Tiger Prison." ”
The others didn't say anything more, but followed us down the mountain to Cao Hong.
Cao Hong smiled: "I see that you are by no means ordinary people, if you want to say that you are businessmen, I don't believe it." ”
"Good eyesight, since we are all understanding people, we don't have anything to say, let's just spread out and talk. I said.
"Very well, who the hell are you?"
"Cao Gong's military book is what we did, and we did it in Sima's house, walking the world, and taking ghosts in the underworld. I said.
Cao Hong laughed when he heard my words, and said, "Just by you, you dare to be called walking the world, let me ask you, how many things have you taken from the cemetery of Longyangjun?"
I didn't hide it, took out the pearls and the box, and said with a smile: "It's just him, what about you, General Cao?"
"Strange, how come your pearls are the same as mine?" Cao Hong asked.
"Did you also enter Long Yangjun's tomb?" I asked.
Cao Hong took out a shovel and pointed at me and said, "What's so difficult about that broken tomb, I am just a box away from getting this pearl, it seems that you are one step ahead." ”
I looked down at the pearl box in my hand, took out the pearls, and threw the box to Cao Hong.
"Broken box, here you go. I said.
Cao Hong smiled: "Refreshing, what else did you take?"
"No, there's nothing left to take, this Long Yangjun is really a poor ghost. ”
"Nonsense, the tomb of Longyang Jun was built by the king, is there nothing valuable about the courtesy of the Wang family?"
I turned back to Ah Cai and said, "Give him all the things we took out of the cemetery, since Cao Gong needs it, we won't take it with us, and it will be long-winded to go back with the province." ”
"Little brother, no, if we can't bring this thing out, then this trip will be a complete loss. Acai said.
I smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, life is more important than money, and only with life can you make money." ”
"Acquaintances, come and take their things and take a look. Cao Hong commanded.
Liu Laosi was about to move, I pressed his arm, and said softly: "Don't move, I don't think this person is greedy for money." ”
After Cao Hong looked at the things that Ah Cai handed him, he sighed: "Just such a thing, are you fooling me?"
"We don't need to cheat with you, we really brought out so many things, if you don't believe it, we can let you search as you like. I said.
"Okay, since that's the case, then I believe you, since we are all helping Cao Gong, there is no need for us to entangle with you. Cao Hong instructed: "Give them back the things, let's go." ”
"Lord Cao, there are wars going on everywhere, where are you going?" I asked.
"Go to the cemetery of Longyangjun and remove the murals inside. Cao Hong laughed and left with the people.
We feel that this person is sensible, and quite a city government, and does things neatly, and such people are not incompetent people who come out to rob tombs.
Thinking of this, we quickly left and went straight to Sima's house.
We didn't dare to take the big road, because after the world was full of scuffles, we had to take the small road and return to Sima's house.
After Sima Yi saw us, he asked about the situation of Longyangjun's cemetery, and we told the truth, Xiao Yizi smiled: "I didn't expect this man to be so perverted." ”
"It's not that simple, I feel like his grave has been stolen a long time ago, so I didn't bring anything back this time, only this pearl. I said.
Xiao Yizi said: "I have thought of this a long time ago, hey!"
"Why sigh?"
"Nowadays, the princes of the world are all over the world, fighting year after year, and the more they fight, the poorer they become, the more and more princes need things in the cemetery, and the more and more people have no money to eat. ”
I said, "What do you mean, you mean that there are more and more tomb robbers now?"
"Yes, the princes are the needs, and the people who can't eat form groups, and for the needs of the princes, they have joined the tomb robbery business. Xiao Yizi said.
"So what's in the cemetery is getting less and less valuable now?"
"Not only that, but there are more than a dozen groups that have come to me. ”
I felt something wasn't quite right and asked, "You mean, we're going to have fewer tasks, right?"
"It can be said that in order to support the people of the world, this is also a process that must be experienced. Sima Yi said.
"You're right, just around the Longyangjun cemetery, we have been besieged by many groups. ”
Sima Yi sighed: "Tsukasa Hu told me that now in addition to our Sima family, there should be people who are more powerful than us and have a deeper background to command them behind their backs. ”
"Do you know who this man is?"
Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Tsukasa Hu only said that it is a very big family, and it has strong financial resources, it seems that our business is getting worse and worse." ”
"So where are we going on our next mission?" I said.
"The work of our Sima family has been much less recently, not to mention the work of making money, and I am afraid that in the future, we will have to take on even small tasks to maintain our livelihood. Xiao Yizi said.
stayed at Sima's house for more than half a month, but he didn't receive half a task, helping to clean the courtyard all day.
Sun Er's injuries had also healed a lot, and he said to me: "Relying on this Sima family, our livelihood is also a problem, so I might as well go out and find something to do." ”
"Don't worry, let's wait, these new tomb robbers may not have so many means, maybe they can't do it in some important cemeteries. I said.
Sima Yi sat on the roof all day and hummed a little song, as if there was nothing to do.
Two days later, Jiang Xiaohei hurried back from outside, stood outside the door and shouted, "Xiao Yizi, come down and the old man has something to explain." ”
"What's the matter?" Sima Yi still listened to Jiang Xiaohei's words, and he jumped off the roof.
"I have discussed with the clansmen, from today onwards, you will be the agent of our Sima family, and you will be the sole master of everything in the future. Jiang Xiaohei said.
I said, "Congratulations, there's any work for us to do." ”
"Go, tomorrow I will gather all the groups in our Sima family and assign tasks to everyone. Xiao Yizi said.
"That's great, you're going to have to find us something good. ”
Jiang Xiaohei said: "I don't have to pick the job now, it's good to have a job to do, so don't pick and choose." ”
"Hey, the big one in the, you can always distinguish the good from the bad. I said.
"Okay, when the time comes, you will pick first, this will always work, right?"
After we agreed, on the day of the big gathering, I saw no less than a dozen groups of peers, all of whom looked like fresh faces.
Xiao Yizi took out a bamboo slip tube, and there were more than a dozen bamboo slips in it, and after shaking it, he said, "Brother Liu, you guys come to draw lots first." ”
I approached Xiao Yizi and said, "Didn't you say let's pick first? Why did you draw lots?"
"Hey, didn't I let you come first, you also saw that there are so many of us, all waiting for the work to eat, hurry up and smoke. ”
I felt very unhappy, and reached out and pulled out a bamboo slip, on which was written the name of Li Guang.
Xiao Yizi gradually took it over, and after looking at it, he said: "The big brother group of the Liu family, Li Guang's tomb, will leave tomorrow and go to the counter to get the coil." ”
"Li Guang's tomb?" sighed, "What can be there?"
"I don't know, it is said that he died on the battlefield, so he shouldn't have left anything good, and it's not a big tomb. Wu Shudao.
Liu Laosi said: "This broken cemetery, let's change it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the rest of the group shouting: "What to pick, we are still waiting, you guys are done and get out of the way." ”
Xiao Yizi smiled: "Yes, hurry up, this is good, go to his bow, someone will give some payment." ”
"Hey, okay, let's go. "I was a little reluctant in my heart, so I had no choice but to take the job.
Liu Laosi broke out and shouted: "What are you yelling about, Lao Tzu didn't have you when he robbed the tomb, a good place is given to you, can you steal it?"
"Don't fart, be careful if Lao Tzu chops you. ”
