Chapter 438—Goldsmith's Receipt (I)
"This horse is really fast, I've never seen such good foot strength in Xia!" On the return trip, Bai Mufeng seemed to have opened a chatterbox, and kept sighing at the speed of Tianma. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info saw that he showed his youthful nature, and Duren had a better impression of him: this man is a smart man, but it seems that he has suffered few setbacks, so he still has some frank character, which is completely different from the people he comes into contact with on weekdays.
All the way, several people were so busy that they didn't even stop to eat dinner, and at midnight that day, they returned to the Western Dynasty Army. Bai Mufeng thought that it was the first time he had entered the barracks, and he sighed with emotion every step he took, like a hillbilly who had just entered the big city.
It was Luo Xing who came to greet Duren. Most of the soldiers had rested, and Han Feng and the others had gone to bed early, but Luo Xing had been waiting for Du Lun's arrival with red eyes—he had not been a messenger that day, so he had asked for another chore, hoping to be the first to tell the Holy Lord the news of Du Lun's return.
Han Feng had already said that no matter when Du Lun came back, the news would not need to be delayed, and Luo Xing took Du Lun and trotted to the big tent. Bai Mufeng listened to what they said "saintly", and couldn't help but cheer up his spirit. He is a businessman who travels from south to north, and he has also been to many places and seen many big scenes. At this moment, seeing that there were only two or three hundred soldiers around the emperor of the Western Dynasty, and looking at the pomp, he was not even as good as the guards of Fengzhou City, and he sent a few points in his heart, secretly thinking that this emperor seemed to be an approachable character, but these people were thinking about taking Fengzhou City, wouldn't they be daydreaming? Or was it that he originally brought a lot of soldiers, and they were all killed when he defeated Yanguan?
After that, Luo Xing returned to Durham and asked him to take the rescued boy into the tent with him. Bai Mufeng couldn't help but let out an "ah", eagerly pulled Du Lun's sleeve, and said, "My lord, I'm ...... I...... I don't know what etiquette to do...... In case of collision...... How can that be a good life?"
Du Lun laughed and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, after all, they are all human beings, who can eat you? We people in the Western Generations are all regarded as people outside the country, if we talk about etiquette, how can we compare with Jiangnan?"
That Bai Mufeng was fed a reassuring pill by Duren, so he was more down-to-earth. The two entered the big tent one after the other, and Bai Mufeng was just about to bow down with Du Lun, when he saw a man come forward in a few steps, bent down to help Du Lun, and said loudly: "Get up, get up, don't be polite." Duren, how did you come back so quickly, and is everything going well?"
Bai Mufeng looked up quietly, and sighed secretly: Is this the emperor of the Western Dynasty? Looking at his appearance, he is much more beautiful than all the women he has seen in his life, I heard that the emperors of the Western Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty have the blood of Yi women, and now it seems that this rumor is not false at all. It's just that he looks like he is only twenty-six or seventeen years old, how can he make people feel so calm, even more reliable and down-to-earth than the guards of Fengzhou City. And after seeing Han Feng, he looked at the woman behind the emperor of the Western Dynasty, and saw that the girl was in her early twenties, although the clothes she was wearing were extremely simple, and she was not wearing gold and silver hairpin rings, but she had a graceful and elegant temperament, just because she was there, this dilapidated tent was as shining as the inner hall of the palace.
These two people are really dragons and phoenixes among people, Bai Mufeng is also the first time to see this battle, under the shock of his heart, he didn't even hear Han Feng's words to get himself up, and he still knelt on the ground all of a sudden.
Luo Xing followed behind Du Lun and Bai Mufeng into the account, and at this time, he took Bai Mufeng in his hand, and said to Han Feng: "Holy Lord, according to your orders, I will also come after leaving." ”
Bai Mufeng originally thought that the woman standing with Han Feng was the new queen of the Western Dynasty, but after listening to Luo Xing's words, he realized that he had seen it wrong. He looked back and saw a shadow "floating" behind him, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived beside Han Feng. "This man is so fast. Bai Mufeng was surprised at first, and when he saw Liji's true face, he suddenly felt that he was suddenly hit by a thunderbolt above his head, and he couldn't see anything in front of him except her.
At this moment, he almost felt that he was dead—how could there be such a beautiful woman in the world, so that he searched his stomach and could not find the words to describe her appearance. This woman should be a spirit in the mountains and rivers, how can she be a living person.
Han Feng and Mingxi didn't pay attention to Bai Mufeng, only Lijiao saw the young man who collapsed to the ground, she "giggled" and said, "Eh, General Luo, you should also help people to be more stable." I see this boy was scared by us, be careful not to fall on him!"
Han Feng and Mingxi looked at Bai Mufeng at this time, Han Feng saw him staring at Li Jian stupidly, but he didn't care, he only smiled, looked at Du Lun and said, "This is the businessman you brought? Everyone doesn't know how long to talk, so you might as well sit down first." I have a lot to ask. ”
Du Lun nodded yes, taking advantage of Luo Xing's efforts to set up the chair, he couldn't wait, and answered a few questions from Han Feng first: "According to Tanma, Zhao Gong's army has been annexed by Zhang Boyuan, as for Zhao Gong, it is still unclear." But I guess he's under house arrest and a puppet. This Bai Gongzi is in the grain business, and now all the goods shipped have been forcibly requisitioned by Zhao Gong, I see that he is desperate, so I brought him back to the army, and I hope that the saint will not be surprised. In front of outsiders, his tone of voice was not as easy as chatting with Han Feng in private after all.
Han Feng let out an "um". Along the way, he also knew that everything in this world would not go according to his best ideas, and there would always be trouble. Compared with being trapped underground, Zhao Gong's 20,000 soldiers and horses don't seem to be an important change. He thought for a moment and asked, "Bai Gongzi, how much food did you bring in total, and how long was it enough for those people to eat?"
Bai Mufeng has been holding a string, for fear of saying something wrong or doing something wrong, until he heard Han Feng ask this sentence, he was relieved - he was familiar with these numbers, but just as he was about to speak, he hesitated: After all, he is a person from Jiangnan, if the Western Dynasty loses in the future, what will happen to him?
Han Feng read countless people, and when he saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, he knew what he was worried about, so he was relieved: "Bai Gongzi, you don't have to hesitate, and you don't have to worry about anything. I heard from Scholar Du that your entire family is a businessman, and I think that in addition to going to the imperial capital, there are also people who go to other places. In this case, it is better for you to treat it as if you are doing business with our Xidai, and you will not lose anything. ”
Bai Mufeng smiled bitterly, and secretly said that Han Feng was right, his family is now clinging to King Yue in the south of the Yangtze River, but if King Yue falls in the future, or if the Western Dynasty really rises, then it is not a good thing that he can build an extra line. Thinking about it properly, he spoke: "On the Holy Age, the villain brought a total of twenty carts of grain to Fengzhou this time. Each cart had a total of 50 stones, and it was thought that it would feed the soldiers in the city for a month. ”
Hearing him call himself "Holy Lord", Han Feng's gaze softened. He nodded and said, "Okay." Bai Gongzi, your thousand stones of grain have been withheld by General Zhang, and I also know that you are very embarrassed, and I don't know how to go back and confess. But you don't have to worry, when I conquer Fengzhou, I will give you a tael of silver. ”
"Really!" Bai Mufeng's face was overjoyed, but the ecstasy in his heart was instantly suppressed by doubt: there were only two or three hundred people in the Western Dynasty, how could it be so simple to break the city...... Who wouldn't talk about it?
Seeing Bai Mufeng's face was panicked, Du Lun groaned slightly, took out a stack of shredded pieces of paper from his arms, handed them to Bai Mufeng, and said: "Bai Gongzi, I tore these pieces of paper one after another before I saw you, and there are words Fengzhou on this piece of paper, I don't know what this thing is? Is it Zhang Boyuan who gave it to you?"
"I didn't expect the adults to keep it. Bai Mufeng sighed lightly, picked up a few pieces of paper and looked at them, and threw them aside, "Hmph, it's all bluffing, it's just a little expression of the coy posture of the officials in Fengzhou." ”
"Oh?" Hearing him say this, Han Feng was a little curious. He looked at the pieces of paper carefully, and thought that they were white strips that Zhang Boyuan had punched to take away the grain, but the words on the pieces of paper were very different from ordinary white strips: several of them had the signature of a certain gold and silver craftsman, and a few pieces of paper had a few taels of gold written on them, and the money was geometric.
"What is this, I seem to have seen it, but how can I use this to cover food?" Han Fengqi said, he vaguely felt that this was related to the fact that there was a gold mine in Fengzhou, but because the paper was too damaged, he really couldn't see any content. Mingxi saw that he frowned slightly, so he took a few pieces of paper from his hand, took a closer look, and suddenly said "heh", and said with a smile: "What should I be, it turned out to be a goldsmith's receipt." You've never sent me jewelry, so you don't know!"
"The goldsmith's receipt?" Han Feng suddenly remembered when he had seen a similar note, it was when he first arrived in the Windy City Flower Capital, in order to make Wanrou happy, when he bought hairpins for her, he had looked at the account books of the jewelry store on the counter. That glance passed in a hurry, and even Bai Tong didn't remember, let alone himself. Thinking of Wanrou, Han Feng felt a slight sour on the tip of his heart: after leaving Fengguan Mangcheng, he had never seen her again. It's been half a year now, and I don't know how she's doing - I'm afraid she's not going to be happy.
Seeing Han Feng's gloomy expression, Mingxi's expression was also astringent: "I said it wrong." Hehe, it turns out that you gave it to someone else. After saying this, she also felt that it was not good to be so sour in front of everyone, so she sank her mind and turned to the topic: "Some people get gold and don't want to spend it as money, so they will give it to the goldsmith to make jewelry, and the goldsmith will naturally write down the receipt to confirm that he has received the gold, indicating how many taels of money he has received, so as to facilitate the comparison when the delivery is made." ”
Han Feng said: "I understand this. But how can this receipt be profitable?"
