The next day, Zhao Gou bid farewell to the hidden warriors of different sects, and then repaired for two days in Xijin Mansion, and the injuries of the two princesses of Da Okuye and Ci Ono have gradually recovered.

There are still a few days left until the Yuyang Meeting, and Zhao Gouda heard that Yan Sheng had returned to Shangjing with Jin Bing, so he had the intention to go to Liaodong.

Wan Yan Sheng's red-clothed cannon made him unable to calm down for a long time, although he did not personally experience the power of the red-clothed cannon, but judging from the sensation caused by its appearance on the battlefield, this red-clothed cannon must be taken seriously.

And if he wants to have a red-clothed cannon, he Zhao Gou must get the iron ore of Liaoyang.

Although the iron ore in Handan is also good, according to the technological level of this era, only the iron ore in Liaodong can meet the conditions for making red-coated cannons.

The plan has been decided, and Qiu Mayang, with more than 30 escorts, walked out of the Qinglongmen of Xijin Mansion and went straight to Liaodong.

Pretending to be an ordinary merchant, when he met someone who was interrogated by the guard, he pointed to the car behind him and claimed that he was selling salt back and forth.

Along the way, I slept in the open air, and arrived in Ningyuan two days later.

Ningyuan is an important town in Liaoyang, and its strategic position is very important, so it was chosen to stop in Ningyuan, on the one hand, in order to return to Yuyang in time to participate in the Yuyang meeting with the people in the mountains, and on the other hand, because there are many merchants here and there is a lot of information.

Counting the days, at this time, the people in the mountains had just received the war letter.

After entering the city, I chose a big inn called Liaoshuiwan to live, and I sent people around to inquire about the news and investigate the customs of Liaodong.

It was about evening on this day, and Zhao Gou was talking to Tang Mianqi and others in the inn, when he suddenly heard a sound outside.

"Tell that salt seller from Song to come out and talk to me!" A man shouted at the gate of Liaoshui Bay.

When Tang Mianqi heard the movement, he went out to take a look, and turned back to Zhao Gou and said, "Brother Yue, this person seems to be a local rich businessman, and the news that we are salt sellers has somehow come to their ears, and it seems that the person who came is not good." There were seven or eight of them. ”

Tang Mianqi called Zhao Gou Yue's eldest brother, but in order to hide his identity, Zhao Gou reused Yue Goxiao's pseudonym.

Zhao said: 'Is it to buy our salt?' Say to them, "Our salt is not sea salt, but the salt of the best wells of Shanxi." ’

Tang Mianqi went out, and came back after a while, with a panicked face: "Brother Yue, they don't care what salt we sell, they just want us to leave!" If you don't leave, you're welcome. I want to beat them, but I'm afraid that I don't know them well and cause trouble. ”

Zhao Gou became interested, and went downstairs with his hands on his back and came directly to the door of the inn.

The person who came was indeed dressed as a wealthy businessman, about thirty years old, with a pair of small eyes, his cheeks bulging like fried cheeks, and he was panting when he spoke, followed by seven big men, and even had weapons in his hands.

Zhao Gou smiled: "I am the salt merchant Yue Xiao from Shanxi, where did you come from?" ”

The man snorted coldly, but he didn't like it: "You don't deserve to ask my surname." Since you are a salt dealer from other places, you must not know the rules, this Ningyuan City does not allow the appearance of salt from other families, do you understand what it means? ”

Zhao Gou's tone was very flat, and he said in a tone that deliberately didn't take the other party in his eyes: "I know what you mean, so, you can go." ”

"I'm leaving? You let me go? The man rubbed his ears and repeated the question.

A strong man behind him shouted: "Master Long, this kid doesn't look convinced, why don't I go up and beat them, just drive them away." ”

Long Ye directly lost his temper: "Yue Go Xiao, you Long Ye and I will not give people a chance, I see that you are also a general business on the rivers and lakes, so I came over to persuade you with kind words, you don't know how to lift, when the time comes, I will annoy you Long Ye and me, so that you can't eat and walk around." ”

Zhao Gou snorted coldly, and didn't look at him directly: "You are the Dragon Master, I am the Emperor Lao Tzu when I step on a horse, who is rare for your promotion!" Lao Tzu's salt is the best well salt in Shanxi, not sea salt, and the common people like to eat it. If you are bullying the market, I will go to the local officials to reason. ”

As he spoke, he wanted to turn around.

Suddenly, Long Ye directly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Gou's shoulder, and said with a look of contempt: "You mean the local officials, right?" Do you know who I am? ”

Zhao Gou became interested, like looking at a fool, watching him continue to perform: "Who are you?" Didn't you already say it, what kind of dragon master are you here. ”

Long Ye also looked at Zhao Gou with his color, and looked at him like a fool, and suddenly sneered: "I think you are really unconvinced!" Finally, I ask you again, do you want to roll? ”

At this time, Tang Mianqi and Wu Tiehan came out, waved their fists and said: "Lao Tzu came here to trade fairly, and if you want to roll, you will get out!" ”

Long Ye let go of Zhao Gou's shoulders, raised his face, looked at people with his nostrils, and said to the people behind him: "Stranger, I really don't want to give face!" Brothers, give them a fist to kill them in style! ”

As soon as the words landed, the seven big men were guys, and they directly surrounded Zhao Gou and the three of them.

At this time, there are more and more onlookers.

When the shopkeeper in Liaoshuiwan saw that they were going to do it at the door of their store, they were anxious, and hurriedly came out to stop them: "Don't do it!" There is a place for everything to be said, and if you have a dispute, go to the yamen and say it. ”

Long Ye glanced at the shopkeeper with a cold face, and the shopkeeper trembled, walked straight to Zhao Gou's side and said, "Mr. Yue, you ask them if they want money, as long as you have to earn, why not give it to them?" Going out to ask for money is just for a kind of harmony, don't you say? ”

Zhao Gou suddenly said loudly to the onlookers: "I am a salt merchant in Shanxi, and I have come here to market a delicious and unique well salt, and the price is cheaper than your local sea salt, don't you want to taste it?" ”

The words caused a sensation among the onlookers.

"Is it really well salt from Shanxi?"

"Can it be cheaper?"

"If I could, I'd buy it and try it at home."

“······”

Zhao Gou asked people to take out a little bit of well salt, that is, to distribute some to the onlookers, they all tasted it, and they suddenly felt not bitter, and the taste was exquisite.

Everyone said yes, and everyone praised each other, and at that time, someone wanted to give Zhao Gou money to buy his salt.

Long Ye blushed and had a thick neck, grabbed the person who wanted to buy salt, pushed it, and said angrily: "This person's salt is not allowed to be sold locally, you don't want to think about whether this is poison!" ”

One of the people said: "Master Long, we just buy it to taste, and we don't spend your money." We don't have the money to spend it? ”

"That's it! It is! Long Ye is too domineering, right? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, who is Master Long in Ningyuan City? Don't you want him to settle accounts after the fall? ”

“······”

Gradually, the sound of discussion also stopped.

Long Ye looked at everyone's reactions, and the vanity in his heart was greatly satisfied.

He turned around and looked at Zhao Gou and said, "Do you still need me to repeat what I just said?" you off! ”

Zhao Gou's face was not shocked, and he pointed to his lips and said, "Look at my mouth!" Fuck off! ”

Long Ye was furious, and his first hand was to grab Zhao Gou's clothes, and a punch was to knock him down.

Suddenly, at this time, a group of officials came, and one of them shouted, "Who is picking quarrels and provoking trouble here?" ”

Long Ye's hand just stopped, glared at Zhao Gou, and threatened in a posture of wiping his neck: "Stinky boy, you wait for me!" ”
