Fortunately, Li Siye's face was much thicker than before, the embarrassment on his face disappeared in a flash, and he continued to smile and said, "This is a lot of work for your old man." ”

"The poor man is tired and unwilling to lift."

"That, I'll take Twelve Niang back to Chang'an next year, and I'll let her come to see you when the time comes, how about it?"

"You!" Aunt Gongsun's face turned angry, and the front of her robe rose and fell with excitement, and then she reached out and put the dust on her arm, raising her hand to recite the scriptures silently. Li Siye couldn't understand what she was reading, and seemed to have gradually calmed down.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

"I want to ask to see Yang Taizhen, and I also ask your old man to match me."

Gongsun Daochang frowned suddenly, and Li Siye hurriedly defended: "Don't get me wrong, I asked to see Mrs. Yang for some official business. ”

The Dao Chief's demeanor gradually became indifferent, and he sighed and said, "How big an official is enough, you people are always greedy and don't know how satisfied. ”

Li Siye took the opportunity to step forward and present the tail in his hand, bowed and saluted: "Please introduce it on your behalf." ”

She grabbed the tail and turned around, and gently wiped it on Sanqing's offering table, as if waiting for Li Siye to take the initiative to retire.

Li Siye took the initiative to cross his hands and said: "I only have four days to wait, and please contact your old man as soon as possible, in order to facilitate waiting, can I spend the night in the Taoist temple." ”

Gongsun Daochang threw down his tail, frowned and said indifferently: "Of course not, the Taizhen Temple is full of Kun Dao, how can you stay in the Guan, and leave quickly." Leave your own address and I'll send someone to let you know if there's news. ”

In order to spend unnecessary time on the road, he decided to live in the residence of Xiude Fang, and said: "I am in the guest house of Xiude Fang." ”

Aunt Gongsun had already closed her eyes with the dust in her hand, and seemed unwilling to look at him again.

……

At night, Liangzhou Wuwei City was cold to the bone, even the manes of the horses in the stables were covered with a layer of frost, and the horses' hooves kept stepping back and forth on the ground, spitting out white gas when they snorted, and soon dispersed and condensed in the air.

The curfew guards poked their hands into their cuffs, their backs hunched as if to shrink their heads into their clothes, cursed the damn weather, struck two gongs at the end of the street, and quickly got into the mutton shop on the side of the street.

At this time, a limping figure walked out of the alley, lowered his head and quickly glanced at both sides, quickly walked to the door of the low hard hilltop shop opposite, and knocked twice on the door.

Someone inside the door said vaguely, "No business at night." ”

"On the contrary, I don't do business during the day. I was introduced. ”

The door creaked open, and Dai Wang limped into the store, looking around left and right, and the walls of the shop were covered with iron traps of various sizes, and all kinds of newly made wooden bows. Two men with scars on their faces stood in front of him, and they were the owners of the shop.

"I'm going to buy thrift."

The two shopkeepers looked him up and down coldly and critically, and asked with a sneer, "What are you doing to buy goods?" ”

"Hunting."

"If you're just hunting, there's enough on the outside wall for you."

"I have too much prey."

"Oh, wait a minute." One of the shopkeepers took out a lantern from the cabinet under the hanger, borrowed a fire from the oil lamp on the table in the house, straightened his back and twisted his neck, and said, "Follow me." ”

He followed the shopkeeper through two partition doors to the room where they slept. The shopkeeper placed the oil lamp on the ground and rolled up the quilt that had been laid on the floor, lifting the entire floor to reveal a staircase leading to the ground.

"You go down first."

Without hesitation, Dai Wang walked slowly down the creaking stairs, and the shopkeeper followed behind to lower the floor. The staircase turned twice, and in front of him was an arsenal larger than the shop outside, with horizontal knives, barrier knives, and spears lined up on the six-foot-high knife holders. On the wall are bamboo pole crossbows, open crossbows, horn bow crossbows, horn bows, and longbows.

Ostensibly, this shop was a sundries store that bought Orion's mountain goods and provided Orion's equipment, but in fact it was a black market trading place that privately sold military equipment.

Dai Wang turned around, turned around and asked, "It seems that there is no armor." ”

"Privateers in armor are complicit in rebellion, our brothers don't have such guts. If you don't have a military identity and wear armor, it's also a rebellion, and even if we have it, we won't sell it to you. ”

He circled around the underground warehouse, drew his horizontal knife from the shelf, pulled it open, glanced at it, and hung it on his waist. And he took two bows from the wall, and two sacks of cowhide quiver, each containing fifty arrows.

He pulled the horn bow in his hand and put it down: "This is a stone bow, the cow tendon is a little leaky, give me a new one, adjust it to the strength of the eight bucket bow." He pulled the longbow again and said, "This is a three-stone bow, the back of the bow is a little off, change it again." ”

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up in surprise: "Okay, connoisseur." ”

……

Dai Wang carried his two bows and quivers behind his back, his sword hanging from his waist, and reached out to throw a bag of silver into the shopkeeper's hand, and went straight to the staircase.

The shopkeeper took advantage of the situation to stop in front of him, and Dai Wang's face suddenly turned cold: "Don't let the lion open his mouth." ”

The other party crossed his hands on his chest and saluted: "Don't misunderstand, the business of our two brothers is supported by the Chishui Army in Wuwei City, Liangzhou, so the guy who sells in his hands must not be stained with the blood of the Chishui Army." ”

"Don't worry, I won't do such a thing."

Dai Liulang's steps were much calmer, and he made a creaking sound on the stairs, and the shopkeeper looked up with a lamp, feeling that this person's anger was overwhelming him.

……

Some small places always hide wonderful scenery, for example, the county seat of Changsong County, surrounded by half of the Wusheling Mountains in the center, surrounded by green trees and city shade, the north wall of the county town undulates on the turquoise earth platform, so the north end has become an excellent place for feng shui. Legend has it that during the Kaiyuan period, a Taoist real person passed by the county seat, pointed to the earthen platform in the north of the city and said that there could be a prime minister here.

The local tyrant Zhang family in the county lived on this soil platform, and originally had dozens of neighbors as companions, but since the rumors of the prime minister were revealed, Zhang Yu used the method of stealing and grabbing to drive the neighbors off the platform one by one, and became the monopoly of his Zhang family.

The area on the platform is very large, there are as many as 100 houses, slaves and maids are in groups, pine and cypress trees are surrounded by clusters, pavilions and corridors are dotted in the meantime, just like a picture of the beautiful life of the big landlord in the Tang Dynasty.

"Don't run, stop!"

A woman dragged the torn half of the skirt to push open the door and ran out, the double bun on the top of her head was scattered in half, followed by her chased out of the local tyrant Zhang Yu, who had a bulging lower abdomen, and he held the door frame with one hand and shouted: "Catch her for me!" ”

The three evil slaves guarding the next room had already chased out, blocking the panicked woman in the corner, intercepting left and right like an eagle catching a chicken, and using obscene words.

"Little lady, do you still want to go out after entering the door of Zhang's house? Hehe, you have to leave something behind, no, it's my Ah Lang who left something on you. ”

Zhang Yu propped up the door panel and shouted to the two: "You guys be quiet, don't let our lady hear." ”

It's a pity that whatever you're afraid of comes, and the roar of a Hedong lion suddenly came out at the gate of the courtyard: "The surname is Zhang, open the door for the old lady."

Zhang Yu's legs were weak, and he almost collapsed on the ground: "Mom, it's here!" Hurry up and find a way to hide this little lady! ”

The woman in the corner of the wall angrily held the copper hairpin as a weapon, and the three evil slaves took advantage of her unpreparedness to take the copper hairpin, dragged her hands hard, and said anxiously: "Little lady, don't make trouble!" We're saving your life! ”

The eldest lady outside the courtyard gate seemed to have been prepared, and ordered the servant to hold the log and bang the door with a bang, once, twice, the latch snapped, and the two door panels suddenly opened.

I saw six pairs of golden hairpins on the round bun on the top of the lady's head, like a majestic chicken raising its legs and stepping into the threshold, and her eyes glared at her husband: "Zhang Yu, you don't remember to eat or fight!" ”

Landlord Zhang had already sat on the threshold softly, and said quibly: "Lady, it was this woman who begged me on the street, saying that she was willing to go to the house to be a maidservant......

The eldest lady's triangular eyebrows were upside down, and she sneered at the little lady with a pale face like an enemy: "There are always sluts who are not afraid of death who break into the door, and I don't know my thunder methods!" Dung killing can't stop you from flattering my man! me to death! ”

The eldest lady was accompanied by several house slaves, all of whom were tigers and bears, and when she gave an order, she rolled up her sleeves and threw herself at the little woman, waving her five fingers and slashing her head and face.

Zhang Yu stood on tiptoe and shouted worriedly, "Don't beat people to death." Seeing the lady glaring at him angrily, he hurriedly changed his words and said, "Don't make it difficult for Zhangchang County." ”

"Fuck you! His county order was all donated by his wife to help him, does he dare to disobey my order! ”

Not far away, a black shadow climbed up the tree, and as soon as he sat down among the branches, he drew his feather arrow and put it on his horned bow, and first raised it high and aimed at the man in the distance, and suddenly turned to the near place and shot it, and the arrow shot out like a blast of wind.

"Ahh A slave covered his right eye, red blood spilling from between his fingers.
