Chapter 32: Storytelling
Just when Liangbao Spicy Noodles and Deng Xian and others began to explore the entire Mianchi County from the inn, on the top of Kunshan Mountain, Li Yucheng rode a horse and took his subordinates back to the Xiangjun garrison from the Warlock Tower.
As soon as he got off the horse, Li Yucheng gave an order to the soldiers around him: "Pass my order to the Marquis of Duyu, let all the soldiers and horses and commanders immediately integrate the team, and all the soldiers will gather in front of our army tent, I have something to announce." ”
Although I didn't know why the commander of the army had gathered the troops, the herald immediately gave the order, and about a quarter of an hour later, the soldiers of the Xiang army gathered in front of Li Yucheng's military tent in an idle procession.
At this time, there were no longer two hundred people here, and after Li Yucheng asked the soldiers to spread the generous treatment of garrisoning Kunshan, the number of people here quickly expanded to more than three hundred and fifty.
Why do the soldiers want to be soldiers, it's not for military salaries, they are not on the front line, they have no military exploits, they are called and drunk every day, isn't it just for money?
Since there is a lot of money stationed in Kunshan, then these Xiangjun don't mind the harsh environment on Kunshan, make money, and don't tremble.
In this world, there is no hard way to make money.
Li Yucheng also knew why these ** came to the top of Kunshan to suffer, so he went straight to the point:
"At the beginning, when I came to garrison Mt. Kuo, I brought a total of five battalions, excluding those who ate empty salaries, a total of 200 people, and now the actual number of troops stationed on Mt. Kuo has exceeded 350 people.
The reason why you came to garrison Mt. Kunshan is nothing more than to serve Lord Jinyi Wei Qincha, and fight for the splendid future and the reward of white flowers, so I won't hide it.
Lord Jinyiwei needs a group of van soldiers to transport goods, from the top of the mountain to Mianchi County, four times a month, all those who sign up, the first to always set the money.
I don't force you, if you intend to come to Duyu Hou here to sign up, get the fixed money, we will go up the mountain tomorrow morning to start transporting goods, and just disperse directly if you don't inadvertently. ”
As soon as Li Yucheng said this, he was overjoyed when he heard those Xiang Jun**, and someone immediately asked: "Is it really the first to set the money?" ”
The consistent money is no longer a small amount, and there are many people in Henan Province who can't earn the consistent money in a month, and even their military salaries are only a month and a half of money.
Coupled with the deductions, Xiang Jun can actually get the salary, and it is estimated that it will be four or five yuan a year.
And now he is just helping Lord Jinyiwei to do things, and he has four yuan a month, which is almost a price that the sergeant can't refuse, and the Lord Jinyiwei gives too much.
Hearing this, Li Yucheng patted the burden on the war horse behind him, and the burden made a crisp sound of copper coins, and then he turned his head to look at the crowd:
"I've already prepared the money here, as long as I sign up, I can get it, it depends on whether you take it or not, but I want to say ugly things ahead, if anyone dares to take the money and don't do anything, it will cut off the future and financial path of the brothers, don't blame me for not being merciful."
"Commander Du Command, rest assured, as long as the money is in place, we will definitely not slack off."
"Yes, Lord Jinyiwei is much more atmospheric than the imperial court, since his old man has paid enough, then of course we can't let his old man suffer, you say, brothers?"
"This is nature, taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people, this is a truth that bandits understand, how can we wait for the army not to understand? Besides, who would dare to snub the affairs of Lord Jinyiwei? ”
Everyone in the Xiang army began to talk nonsense, and it was not until Li Yucheng waved his hand to signal silence that everyone slowly quieted down.
"Since that's the case, then I'm relieved, where is Du Yuhou?" Li Yucheng said loudly.
Wang Chong, the Marquis of Duyu beside him, immediately stood up and said, "The lower official is here." ”
"Set up the table and start registering the names of the participants, I must finish it this afternoon, and I will take someone up the mountain to transport the goods tomorrow morning." Li Yucheng commanded.
In this regard, Duyu Marquis Wang Chong immediately arranged, before the soldiers gathered, he had already received the ten yuan fixed money sent to him by Li Yucheng, and each commander also had five yuan of money, and threatened that there would be forty more after the deed, so he was naturally concerned about this matter.
With Li Yucheng's order, all the soldiers immediately lined up and began to sign up.
Huang Yi is also in the queue, he is a family of rivers and lakes, but he fell into the middle of his father's generation, and when he reached his generation, there was only one house left in the family.
Huang Yi has been in the land, has done business, but there has been no big improvement, and finally he chose to join the army at the age of nearly 30 and became a member of the Henan Mansion Xiang Army, but he didn't expect to be a hungry meal when he became a Xiang Army.
People have passed the age of establishment but have achieved nothing, not even a daughter-in-law, Huang Yi himself feels that he has failed very much.
And at this time, he heard about the salary of the Kunshan Xiang army, so he came, and he did not bring any hope when he came.
After all, everyone knows what the military salary of the Great Liang State looks like, as long as it is not sent to the hand, then it will disappear mysteriously for various reasons, it can be robbed by robbers, it can be greedy by Shangguan, it can be lost, or it can be that the court has no money.
But what Huang Yi didn't expect was that he hadn't done anything on the first day he came, and he got the fixed amount of the usual money.
Holding the money in his hand, the corners of Huang Yi's mouth grinned rarely, he thought of a lot of things in his mind, he could buy a silk cloth to change clothes for his family, he could also pay off the wine money owed by the inn, and he could even repair the house.
But in the end, this turned into the last thought, that is, to work well for Lord Jinyiwei, this kind of boss is not easy to find these years.
"Well, my brother didn't lie to you, did he? Follow Lord Jinyiwei is fragrant and spicy, much happier than following others, although you need to feed mosquitoes in the mountains, but four dollars a month, what about feeding mosquitoes? ”
Li Datou, who was beside Huang Yi, patted Huang Yi's shoulder and said: "Listen to my brother, do things well, Lord Jinyiwei is indispensable for rewards, I even heard that Lord Jinyiwei has the idea of including all of us in Jinyiwei, once you really become Jinyiwei, then you may not be able to fly Huang Tengda with adults." ”
"What my brother said is that I have to thank my brother more this time." Huang Yi said honestly, but his hand kept touching the money in his arms.
Although he had long known that what Xiang Jun was going to do was to sell his life, it was the first time he had taken the initiative to do so.
Huang Yi felt like he had met Bole's Maxima.
………
At this time, the storyteller was sitting in the middle of the lobby, and most of the men on the tables around him were not good-looking, and some even had tattoos on their arms, and there was no shortage of swords.
However, the storyteller of Yuelai Inn was not panicked at all, Yuelai Inn was originally an inn that received people from the rivers and lakes, and after telling stories here for so many years, the storyteller did not know how many knights and bandits in the green forest had seen, and they were naturally not afraid when people got used to it.
“……… If you talk about the recent major events in the rivers and lakes, the one hundred and five people of the Shanhe Dart Bureau were wiped out by the Diancang faction, which should be regarded as one of them, but it is said that Lin Fang, the young owner of the Shanhe Dart Bureau, seems to have escaped and is currently missing.
Speaking of this matter, it is also this Lin to ward off evil spirits I don't know the depths, it is said that he killed the disciple of the Diancang faction first, but there are also suspicions that this is because the twenty-one year cicada sword left by his Lin family was coveted by the Diancang faction to have this tragedy, the rivers and lakes are like this, true and false, false and true, and in the end, they all paid in laughter.
Whether this forest can survive or not, then it depends on the destiny of heaven, maybe there will be a happy grudge after many years, but it is more about hating the rivers and lakes. ”
At this point, the storyteller drank a cup of tea, then knocked on the wood in shock, and continued:
"Having said so much about the fighting and killing on the rivers and lakes, let's talk about it again, the recent grand occasion on the rivers and lakes, the friction between the north and the south of the green forest has become bigger and bigger recently, and some people propose to hold a meeting in the mountain temple outside Mianchi County in a month to eliminate the trouble, but it is said that the leaders of the north and south green forest alliance have no intention of participating.
But even so, there are still many masters in the green forests of the north and south who have indicated that they will participate, including the Bear's Ears Mountain bandit Blood Bodhi, the Yinshan bandit Yuliancheng, and the word Ghost Sword Mushan, Black Mountain Bear, Wooden Swordsman and others.
If you are interested in the green forest, you can go and see it at that time, and maybe you will have something to gain. ”
Speaking of this, the storyteller paused again and said: "In addition, in addition to the Green Forest Conference in the Michi Mountain Temple, there is also a grand event in Xiangxi recently, that is, the corpse conference.
Xiangxi has been famous for chasing corpses since ancient times, among which Maoshan Taoist Sect, Xiangxi chasing corpses, and Miaojiang will participate.
Compared with the green forest, the corpse conference is a little weirder and more eerie, and many people in the rivers and lakes don't want to participate in this conference, afraid of ghosts and gods.
However, there seems to be something wrong with this event recently, it is said that the ghost book of Xiangxi's corpse chase vein was stolen by a volume of taboos, and Xiangxi's corpse chases almost the entire Xiangxi upside down, but the caretaker who stole the taboo chapter was not found.
So much so that the corpses in Xiangxi have been more irritable recently, so friends in the rivers and lakes should be careful if they meet them, they are not as easy to talk as Maoshan Daoye. ”
"No wonder I met a corpse chaser in Xiangxi before, I was beaten up after just fighting with him for two sentences." A man muttered in a low voice.
"Are you sure it's not your bad mouth?" The man next to him couldn't help but laugh.
"Do you want to die?" The ridiculed man said.
"Then try who will die."
So saying, the two of them walked out with their knives in hand, and the people in the inn did not move, as if they were accustomed to it, until one of them came back with a knife covered in blood.
The storyteller continued to talk about other rumors, and no one asked about the person outside, and no one said that everyone knew that he was dead.
This is the rivers and lakes, and there are a lot of white bones under the rivers and lakes.
Dongcheng Azu, who was watching the play, couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw this scene, and said, ", is it so simple and rude?" ”
"Be quiet, be careful and be cut later." Deng Xian glanced at him and said, but he was still a little amazed at the barbarism and bloodiness of the rivers and lakes here, these NPCs had a kind of indifference and murderous aura in their bones.
The storyteller talked again for more than a quarter of an hour, telling interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, and after the storyteller paused again and drank the tea, someone spoke:
"Storyteller, why don't you talk about Han Qing and Han Immortal who escaped from Tokyo City?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the heroes present lit up, obviously this Han Qing was not trivial, and Deng Xian also listened attentively.
"Since you want to hear it, then hand over some reward money, order more side dishes, and I'll tell everyone about this Han Qing now."
The storyteller tidied up his clothes as he spoke, and said, "This Han Qing was originally a hero of my Great Liang Kingdom more than twenty years ago, an official to the privy envoy, and his martial arts cultivation also reached the realm of land immortals, but he suddenly died more than twenty years ago.
Since then, there has been no news for twenty years, until half a month ago, Tokyo City's Great Xiangguo Temple suddenly broke out in a shocking movement, this land immortal who disappeared for twenty years reappeared, a battle against three land immortals, and finally calmly left.
The world said that the reason why the land immortal Han Qing was imprisoned in the Great Xiangguo Temple was the idea of the first emperor, but on the merits, Han Qing never came out to explain, and I didn't dare to guess. ”
"I heard that Han Qing was rescued by someone." Someone spoke.
The storyteller nodded and said: "There are indeed such rumors inside the Great Xiangguo Temple, but no one knows who rescued Han Qing, and no one even knows where Han Qing is now, so he can only guess that this is a top master, otherwise he has no way to sneak into the Great Xiangguo Temple with land immortals and rescue Han Qing from it." ”
"Can you tell us about the speculation about this man?" The man spoke again.
The storyteller shook his head when he heard the words and said: "There is no guess, it is estimated that no one in the world knows who he is except Han Qing, according to the dialogue between Han Qing and the three land immortals at that time, the one left after saving the person, and even the land gods did not find it when he left, which shows that his cultivation is high and shocking."
Such a person is no longer something that ordinary people can guess, if he doesn't show up, no one will find out at all, if everyone present really walks to the top of the rivers and lakes one day, maybe they will naturally know this person.
If you can't do it, then don't force it. That's all for today's storytelling, and we'll see you tomorrow. ”
With that, the storyteller gathered up his things and turned to leave.
After the storyteller left, Deng Xian looked at the two packets of spicy noodles and said, "What do you think?" ”
"This river and lake seems to be very big, just this little half a day, the storyteller mentioned at least nearly a hundred famous and surnamed masters, as well as all kinds of grand occasions in the rivers and lakes, the intersection of various sects and young chivalrous deeds, there are unfortunate teachers, some are destroyed, some are revenge, and some are soaring, it can be said that it is wonderful, I am now more and more looking forward to seeing those chivalrous, but unfortunately we only have half a day." The two packs of spicy strips commented pertinently.
"Don't worry, we dealt with the bandits on the mountain first, maybe the mission will be able to explode some things, and it won't be too embarrassing for us to walk into the rivers and lakes at that time, I can see the battle from the position just now, that person is not weaker than the bandits on the mountain, and even feels stronger." Deng Xian said when he heard this.
"Then go to Yamen again, and then go back to Kunshan." Two packs of spicy strips proposed.
Deng Xian nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
