sent the apricots to Yuxian Building, Li Dingguo and Wang Jiadong were liberated, and then said hello to the handlebar-type pot master, and the two of them went headlong into the most prosperous street in Lantian - Lantian Pedestrian Street.

The two walked along the pedestrian street, their eyes were really not enough, they had seen prosperous ones, such as Xiangyang City in Hubei, which was prosperous and prosperous, but compared with Lantian, Xiangyang City in Hubei was nothing more than that.

I saw that on the pedestrian street, men and women, one by one doing buying and selling, there is no enumeration, and at the same time, Li Dingguo and the two were also attracted by the snacks on the street, Shaanxi's meat buns, sugar gourds, and mutton skewers skewered with signatures, they call this mutton skewers.

My God, it's so delicious, but the price is a bit expensive, the mutton skewers cost five cents a string, and you must know that a good mutton sandwich bun only costs ten cents.

Isn't this a money grab?

Wang Jiadong was very stingy with his money pocket, you must know that it is not easy for him to make some money.

Li Dingguo was very happy, wantonly squandering the money he earned, left and right a meat sandwich bun, ten skewers of mutton skewers in his right hand, and the one he ate was called a bold, Wang Jiadong saw Li Dingguo like this and asked: "Are you ready to do it, the money has been spent?" ”

Hearing this, Li Dingguo laughed, then took a bite of the meat bun and whispered: "We are all in the place, and we don't spend the money, when the assassination fails and we are arrested, this money will be cheap for the prison officials of Lantian." ”

"Failed assassination?"

Wang Jiadong was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo said at this time: "You don't feel it, as soon as we enter this Lantian County, we may be exposed, you see the one on our left who buys mutton skewers, the one behind the right who fiddles with women's beads, and the guy in front of us who looks like he is shopping, but his eyes never leave us, these are obviously Lantian spies." ”

Li Dingguo said, Wang Jiadong's eyes also looked over, and followed Li Dingguo and said: "Don't look around, look, there are also dense guards on the upper floor, and there are important people inside, do you think Li Chaosheng will be inside." ”

After listening to Li Dingguo's words, Wang Jiadong saw a heavily guarded teahouse that looked like an ordinary teahouse, and at this time, in the teahouse, Li Chaosheng poured himself a cup of tea, and Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "County Zun, didn't you say you wanted to see Li Dingguo?" Why did he reveal all our guards, Li Dingguo saw that there were so many guards here, how could he still be willing to come over, and he didn't run away. ”

Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei also said: "Yes, it's just that the guards are revealed, why do my spies have to expose themselves, isn't this a startling snake?" ”

Li Chaosheng listened to the words of the two and said with a smile: "Haha, what I want is to startle the snake."

Li Dingguo is a reckless hero, when we don't find him, he will feel that he is a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, ready to bite us at any time, now we have seen through his whereabouts, then he will stand up very boldly, face me directly, this is what a reckless hero does, if he doesn't even have the courage to face danger, then he is not worthy of my attention.

Li Chaosheng said, looked at Gu Zi and Shi Xiaolei and said, "Come, taste it, my tea is not bad, buy a pound when you leave." ”

After listening to Li Chaosheng's words, the owner of the teahouse hurriedly stood up and said: "The county loves to drink, and the small one will be decorated for you, so let's talk about buying it." ”

Li Chaosheng heard the words and said: "The shopkeeper, one yard is one yard, and if you drink your tea, you have to give money, otherwise what is the difference between my county and the county of Daming, they are all a group of dogs fighting people." ”

"This, yes, yes."

The shopkeeper of the tea shop said, Li Chaosheng gave Gu Zi a look, and Gu Zi immediately took out two silver dollars from his pocket and came to the shopkeeper and said: "You go and load the tea, by the way, don't come out, what happens here in a while, you ......"

"Understood, understood."

The shopkeeper said, took the silver dollar and hid in the back, at this time Li Chaosheng was drinking tea and humming a little song, but Gu Zi and Shi Xiaolei were waiting for him, Li Dingguo's force was heard to be very strong, they didn't dare to be careless, just know to bring Brother Chaomeng out.

They muttered in their hearts, if Li Chaomeng is here, let alone one Li Dingguo, even ten Li Dingguo will also be taken, Li Chaomeng, who is the ceiling of Lantian force, should not be the ceiling of the Ming Dynasty's force, because so far no one has been found who can make Li Chaomeng rush to the hard time.

If he is there, it is the Dinghai God Needle.

Li Chaosheng took a sip of tea and waited for Li Dingguo to come to the door.

And Li Dingguo stood at the mutton skewer stall owner at this time, grabbed another handful of copper coins and said, "Twenty more strings." ”

"Hey, okay."

When the mutton skewer stall owner saw Li Dingguo's boldness, he immediately responded loudly, and Wang Jiadong saw Li Dingguo's appearance, and said helplessly: Loser. ”

After speaking, Wang Jiadong took out the copper coin and said, "Bring me thirty strings." ”

"Gotcha."

The mutton kebab stall owner was so happy, he really met a rich man today, thinking that the mutton stall owner moved out two small horses and said, "The two of you sit down and eat." ”

Li Dingguo was not polite, he sat down and ate wildly, twenty skewers were not enough, and twenty skewers came, and the mutton stall owner saw Li Dingguo's arrogance, so he took out his own rice wine and said: "If you don't drink some, add ice to it, it's very refreshing." ”

Seeing this, Wang Jiadong stretched out his hand to take it, but Li Dingguo waved his hand and said, "If there is something important for a while, don't drink." ”

Wang Jiadong took his hand back stupidly, and the stall owner saw that Li Dingguo didn't drink rice wine, so he called the child on the side: "Go to the drink shop next door and ask for two cups of kumquat drink." ”

After saying that, the stall owner gave the child a penny for running errands, and the child quickly ran to the drink shop next door, and soon brought back two cups of kumquat drink.

"Two, you are a big customer of the stall, these two cups of drink, I gave them to you."

Li Dingguo looked at the thing in the bamboo tube and was puzzled: "What is this?" ”

The boss smiled: "This is our Lantian unique drink, very delicious and hungry, it is said that the recipe was passed down from the court of the Song Dynasty back then." ”

When Li Dingguo heard this, he took the bamboo tube curiously, and saw that there was a reed pipe on the bamboo tube, which was hollow.

Li Dingguo didn't know why the ghost made the god use it, so he took it and sucked it, and suddenly the sweetness of a kumquat exploded in his taste buds.

"Well, it's delicious."

Li Dingguo praised from the bottom of his heart, and Wang Jiadong sighed and said: "You are really not ready to do it, it's just that, boss, you are giving us a hundred strings." ”

Hearing this, the boss was shocked, a hundred strings, that's five hundred Wen, so much money, he hasn't seen a stall for so long, after all, although people in this era say that they have some spare money, but they don't take mutton skewers as a staple food, most of them are full at home, come out to buy three skewers and five skewers, taste the taste of meat, and beat the tooth sacrifice, when have you ever seen such a scene. “

The boss thought about it and said, "Guest officer, my meat is of sufficient quality, you?" ”

Wang Jiadong said boldly at this time: "Even if you come up, this bit of meat is nothing." ”

It's really nothing, when they were marching and fighting, it was easy for a person to gnaw a leg of mutton, not to mention this meat skewer.

Li Dingguo laughed when he heard this: "This is like my good brother." ”

Saying that, Li Dingguo gulped down mutton skewers and drank kumquat drinks, and after they were completely full, the two of them spent a thousand yuan just eating meat skewers, which was a silver coin.

The boss happily accepted the money, Wang Jiadong looked at Li Dingguo and said, "You'd better find a place to eat for us, otherwise you can only sleep on the streets." ”

Li Dingguo laughed when he heard this: "I don't know what the food in Lantian Prison is, let's go, it's time for us to meet this Lantian County Venerable." ”

Thinking that the two of them got up and picked up the baggage they carried, there was a short knife in the baggage, and then the two walked directly to the teahouse, and when they arrived in front of the teahouse, the guard standing in the teahouse said: "Stop." ”

Li Dingguo looked at the two guards and said, "Please give way, I want to meet your master." ”

Hearing this, the guard looked at Li Dingguo's burden and said, "People can go in, and the burden will be left." ”

Li Dingguo smiled when he heard this: "Your master is really careful." ”

Thinking that Li Dingguo was very shameful and threw his burden to the guard, the guard took the burden and touched the knife inside, but the guard didn't say anything, just put the burden aside, and then let go without saying a word.

Li Dingguo looked back at Wang Jiadong at this time and said, "Jiadong, why don't I go by myself." ”

"."

When Wang Jiadong heard this, how could he not understand what Li Dingguo meant, and replied directly: "Roll the calf." ”

He followed a step up the stairs and pushed open the door of the teahouse.

Then the sun shone into the room, and they saw one sitting in the sun, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the tea bowl, as if there was something remarkable in the tea bowl.

Looking at Li Chaosheng's back again, Gu Zi, Shi Xiaolei was waiting for him, his face was grim, especially Shi Xiaolei with his hands on his chest, he couldn't tell the fierce spirit, especially the fierce aura emanating from his body, Li Dingguo was sure at a glance that this was a strong opponent.

There were more than a dozen guards behind the two, and even a few of them were holding Lantian's latest muskets in their hands.

"Hey, close the door a little bit, it's a little glaring."

Li Chaosheng drank the tea, stretched out his hand to block his eyes and said, after hearing this, Li Dingguo blocked Wang Jiadong behind him, and walked into the house.

For a while, the room returned to calm again, and Li Dingguo stood in place and looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "Are you Lantian Li Chaosheng?" ”

Li Chaosheng poured a cup of tea, and filled the teacups in the other two positions of the table with water: "Sit." ”

Li Chaosheng didn't answer, but if he didn't answer, he acquiesced, Li Dingguo looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "Are you still unexpectedly young?" ”

Li Chaosheng looked at Li Dingguo when he heard this: "You are only young, you are less than twenty years old and you can lead a soldier and horse alone, block and kill in the west, invincible, powerful." ”

Li Dingguo came to the tea table when he heard this, looked at his seat and sat down, and said, "Isn't that also the falling flowers and flowing water that you Lantian beat?" ”

Li Chaosheng laughed when he heard this: "This is different, Lantian's army is the army of the people of Lantian, Zhang Xianzhong's army, but he Zhang Xianzhong's army alone, with the strength of one person, it is difficult to shake the army of millions of people in Lantian." ”

Li Dingguo heard this and said silently: "When did you know that I entered Lantian?" ”

"Outside Tongguan, or when you beat up the lieutenant chief in Mianchi County, Henan Province, and asked him to give you a fake pass, you were already in the eyes of our Lantian secret spies."

Li Dingguo frowned when he heard this: "So early, everything I saw when I entered Lantian was what you wanted me to see?" ”

Li Chaosheng shook his head and said: "I didn't arrange your trip to Lantian, I just sent someone to keep an eye on you and see where you are, after all, it's not a reassuring thing for such a dangerous guy like you to wander to our Lantian." ”

Li Dingguo heard this: "Then you really took great pains for me." ”

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "Your potential is worthy of my serious treatment, but it's a pity that you followed Zhang Xianzhong's bad cowardice, and you can't show your talent, I feel sorry for you." ”

Li Dingguo frowned when he heard this: "You said that my father-in-law is a rotten coward, what are you?" Savior, god? ”

Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "I'm not a god, I'm not a savior, I'm just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who wants to lead the people of Lantian to live a good life." ”

"Good life, do you mean that the people outside are living a good life?"

Li Dingguo pointed to the people outside, and Li Chaosheng said: "Isn't this a good day compared to other places in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Li Dingguo laughed and said: "Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng, don't think that if I see some harvest scenes, I will agree with you, although the people outside are living a good life now, but it is only temporary, your Lantian is to encourage agriculture, but it does not restrict merchants and landlords, and the merchants who walk all over the street are bloodsucking devils." ”

"They are willing to give the people a way to live now, that's because the next day is still very chaotic, and we, the rogues in your mouth, are making trouble, they are afraid that we will come to trouble them, so they are willing to give the people a way to live, if there is no us, the world is stable, they will definitely oppress the people, when the time comes, the people will still not be able to eat, the gentry are still gentry, but the emperor has replaced you."

Li Dingguo glared at Li Chaosheng and said: "The landlords and old wealth are all black-hearted, and the government is also dark, only we can build a better world, the people of that world do not pay taxes, everyone gets along with each other equally, there is no businessman speculation, no government bullying people, and you can't build such a world, so why do you say to me arrogantly, you Lantian people live a good life." ”

Li Dingguo yelled at Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng laughed when he heard this, this guy was brainwashed by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong's set of slogans of Juntian Fu and not paying food, or in other words, Li Dingguo is an idealist, so he thinks that the prosperity of Lantian is unreal, only his ideal world in which everyone is equal, everyone grows their own land, does not do business, and there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates.

This may be the utopia of the Ming Dynasty.

And for such a person, Li Chaosheng felt the need to teach him a lesson.
