Chapter Seventy-Eight

This trip to Tobu City was very fruitful, Liu Wei and his party only had a dozen people when they came, but when they left, they took fifty skilled Zhuang Ding from Zhao Chen's manor.

Looking at the cavalry team that was beginning to take shape, Liu Wei also had a smile in his eyes that could not be concealed.

Yuwen Chengdu and Lei Wanchun were ordered to open the way ahead, and Nan Jiyun and Chai Shao led twenty-five knights respectively, accompanying them on both sides of the frame.

Li Ru, Yang Xiu, and Zhang Xun rode horses to follow Liu Wei's side, and the three of them talked and laughed about their future plans.

Yang Xiu is young, still a teenager, and his family background is prominent, so he has always had no scruples when he speaks.

Yang Xiu silently looked at the backs of Yuwen Chengdu and Lei Wanchun in front of him, suddenly smiled, and said: "It's very boring all the way, why don't you find a topic to relieve boredom?" ”

"Oh?"

When Liu Wei heard this, he immediately became interested, he looked sideways at Yang Xiu, and said, "What good ideas does Dezu have?" Let's hear it. ”

Yang Xiu smiled and nodded to Yuwen Chengdu and Lei Wanchun, who were opening the way ahead, and said, "Why don't you take the final destination of this trip as the topic, guess where they will take us in the end, how about it?" ”

"Very good." Liu Wei nodded.

Zhang Xun smiled slightly and said, "This question is a little too simple. ”

"It's hard to hurry, it's just a pleasure, don't take it too seriously." Liu Wei said with a smile.

Li Ru shook his head speechlessly and tilted his head to the side, indicating that he did not want to participate.

Yang Xiu glanced at Li Ru, who thought highly of himself, then pursed his lips and said, "It's really boring." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Xun hurriedly spoke to help Li Ru explain: "Wenyou is newly married Yan'er, and now her mind is all on Mei Jiaoniang, where do you still have the heart to play games with me?" ”

Yang Xiu was stunned, and then laughed, that look is really as obscene as it is.

After laughing, Yang Xiu no longer paid attention to Li Ru, who was not smiling, and said to Zhang Xun: "Let's write the answer in the palm of our hands, and then reveal the answer at the same time, how about it?" ”

"Good."

Zhang Xun nodded.

After a long time.

The two of them came to Liu Wei's side on horseback, and at the same time opened their palms, Yang Xiu's palm was written with a place name, Wuji.

And Zhang Xun's palm is written with a surname: Zhen.

After revealing the answer, Liu Wei, who was the referee, immediately stroked his hands and laughed, and said: "The two of you are both talented and quick people, admire, admire." ”

"Wuji Zhen is the family of the eunuchs, to this generation, most of the children of the clan have abandoned the official business, and now the Zhen family is one of the largest landlords in Jizhou, and its family is rich, very comparable." Yang Xiu said.

Liu Wei smiled slightly, and said: "Dezu is quick-minded, and he is the best in the world, you might as well tell the big guy again, the real purpose of my trip to Wuji to meet the Zhen family in person." ”

"It takes money to form an army, it also takes money to train an army, and it still costs a lot of money to buy weapons, armor, war horses, and equipment. Yang Xiu said without thinking.

"Clever."

Liu Wei smiled and nodded.

Li Ru glanced at Yang Xiu silently, shook his head secretly, and said in his heart: "You can't do everything, you can't say everything, you need to leave a line in life and work, if you are sharp, you will not die well." ”

You can't be too smart, you have to understand the truth of being wise and foolish, if you let you say all the good things alone, then wouldn't the emperor be put in a very embarrassing situation?

Liu Wei and his entourage drove along the official road for two days, and finally came to the outside of Wuji City.

Liu Wei ordered Zhang Xun and Chai Shao to lead fifty knights to camp outside the city, Tang Ji and Tuoba Wenyue and other female dependents and more than a dozen carriages full of goods were arranged to rest in the camp tent outside the city, while Liu Wei led the rest of the people to beat horses and walk towards the city.

When entering the city, Yang Xiu repeated his old tricks and showed his test to the guards at the city gate, and as a result, he was naturally released very smoothly.

"Hongnong Yang's name is really well deserved." Lei Wanchun let out a sigh of emotion.

Li Ru pursed his lips and said, "Where is this, the potential power of the Hongnong Yang clan is far greater than you imagined." ”

"Oh?"

When Lei Wanchun heard this, he immediately became interested and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"Hongnong Yang can pull up a team of thousands of people in a few days." Seeing Lei Wanchun's surprised look, Li Ru deliberately added another sentence and said, "This is just a conservative estimate." ”

During the Han Dynasty, the clan liked to conceal the black households from the imperial court, so each clan had hundreds or even thousands of black households under their names, and the main purpose of concealing the black households was to avoid taxes.

The imperial court really couldn't come up with any specific solution to this, and in the end it had to be resigned.

When Yang Xiu heard this, he was about to have a seizure, but he saw Liu Wei showing an impatient expression very rarely, looked directly into Yang Xiu's eyes, and said coldly: "Okay, stop." ”

Looking at Liu Wei's face that was sinking like water, Yang Xiu's heart suddenly sank, and he immediately swallowed back the words that had come to his lips silently.

Liu Wei looked sideways at Li Ru and warned: "Wenyou, don't make trouble with Dezu in the future." ”

Hearing this, Li Ru nodded silently and didn't say anything more.

Liu Wei knows very well that now is far from the time for infighting, and if it is not stopped, it is uncertain what will happen in the future.

After a long time.

Liu Wei looked at the mansion of Zhen's mansion with blue bricks and blue tiles, and couldn't help but feel a sense of embarrassment in his heart.

"This mansion is really beyond my imagination, this is inevitably too big." Nan Jiyun said with a look of surprise.

"I'm afraid that Wei's Manor is nothing more than that, right?" Lei Wanchun said.

"Wei's Manor was built outside the city, while Zhen's Mansion was built inside the city, and there is no comparison between the two." Yuwen Chengdu said in a deep voice.

Looking at the plaque in front of the gate, Li Ru pursed his lips disdainfully, and said coldly: "It seems that there is no such behemoth as the Zhen family, I'm afraid that even the government can't do anything about him, right?" ”

Liu Wei smiled contemptuously and said, "No matter how big he is, he is also my big man, and he can't turn it into the palm of my hand." ”

"Dezu, hand over the post." Liu Wei said.

Yang Xiu nodded, immediately turned over and dismounted, handed the worship note to several Zhuang Ding who were on duty in front of the gate, and said: "I am the son of Situ Yang Biao of the Hongnong Yang family. ”

Hearing the name of Situ Yang Biao, one of the middle-aged men dressed as a steward was suddenly frightened, he didn't dare to delay in the slightest, took the greeting post handed over by Yang Xiu with both hands, and said, "Please wait here for a while." With that, he walked quickly towards the house.

After a long time.

The middle door of Zhen's mansion was opened, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao came together, and the two searched in the crowd for a long time, and finally locked their eyes on Liu Wei.

The two of them walked quickly to Liu Wei, bowed down and saluted: "But Yang Jialangjun in person? ”

When Liu Wei heard this, he smiled slightly, then stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Xiu who was standing behind him, and said, "He is the Yang family Langjun." ”
