Chapter 161: I'll Burn Paper for You
"Ah, I seem to have been washed away by the water, and I woke up at a farmer's house." He Lingchuan had no choice but to reply, "There is no sun and moon in the mountains, how long has it been?" ”
"It's been almost a month." The Panlong Wasteland is very large, He Lingchuan was washed downstream by the water, it is not strange where to stay for more than ten or twenty days, Hu Min didn't think much about it, "We all thought you were gone, and we burned you twice to make paper money." If you don't show up again, it will be burned to you on the fifteenth of the next month. ”
He Lingchuan patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you!" ”
"Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"When I burned the paper money, I told you the reason why Sun Junshou ran away with the trap. Remember our agreement? Hu Min was also chewing on lard residue, "Didn't you hear?" ”
"I mean, I always feel that someone is babbling in my ear." He Lingchuan suddenly realized, "It turned out to be you!" But I really didn't hear it. ”
At that time, the support of the Baling people arrived, and their last heavy car formation was about to be broken through in a blink of an eye, He Lingchuan agreed with Hu Min that whoever returned alive would find out the reason why Sun Junshou ran away with the trap and burned paper money to inform the other party.
It's just a whim and a casual joke, but Hu Min did it seriously.
He Lingchuan didn't know what he felt in his heart, anyway, he hadn't felt it in the army. He grabbed the wine glass and took a sip: "What is Sun Junshou for?" ”
Those two traps are not light, they are made of wrought iron, and each weighs hundreds of catties. At that time, the city was broken, and Sun Junshou had to spend manpower to drag these two big iron bumps on the road, what was the plan?
"It's really funny!" The bad goose leg was on the table, Hu Min grabbed a piece and gnawed it slowly, "After Sun Jun arrived in Panlong City, he counted the furniture, and found that the two traps were missing, and he didn't do it, and he wanted us to go to the river valley to find it back for him!" ”
"Hehe, Weicheng is gone, he still thinks this is his own territory, he can be a prestige! Commander Xiao ignored him, and he didn't know if Sun Junshou had sent someone to find the two iron lumps in the end. ”
"But I inquired with his subordinates, Sun Junshou's family was originally only from Orion, and my grandfather used these two iron clips to catch two beasts, one is a wolf demon, and the other is even more outrageous, it is the White Demon King who has been wandering in the western part of the Dragon Wasteland for many years!"
"The White Lord?" He Lingchuan was not impressed at all.
"Sixty years ago, the White Devil King was the Bear King of the Western Wandering Dragons Wasteland, and it was said that he was a great monster that had become a climate, and he liked to eat people, and once ate the living people of several villages. Weicheng went out three or four times before and after the demon removal team, and only one or two people went back alive. When Sun's grandfather found the White Devil King, it had already died of exhaustion, scarred all over its body, and it was clear that the trap had given it the final blow. ”
"The White Devil's skin, gall, palms, and teeth were all sold at a high price, and the Sun family made a windfall on this and began to buy land. The old man asked someone to calculate it, saying that his luck depended on these two iron beast clips, so they hid the beast clips in the ancestral shrine. Later, Sun Junshou's father bought an officially eliminated abandoned mine, but the purity of the iron ore was still very high. You also know that weapons and food are the hard currency in the Panlong Wasteland, so there is no doubt that his family has made another fortune; Needless to say, he himself has become a county guard, so you can say that these two iron clips are not prosperous, right? ”
Looking at Hu Min's ill-intentioned eyes, He Lingchuan didn't blurt out the word "Wang", but only smiled: "Sure enough, they are two good things, and they saved our lives by the way." ”
If it weren't for the strength of the beast clamp and breaking Monsan's leg bones, they would probably have to pay a lot of price if they wanted to block this Mengren.
"Yes, so Sun Junshou also took the two of them with him when he fled, hoping that good luck would always follow their family." Hu Min slapped his thigh, "Oh, maybe it's because I lost these two things, and Sun Junshou's life won't be smooth." ”
"How?"
"His family bought a very magnificent mansion in the south of Panlong City, and when they lived in, they found that the original owner had offset a lot of money and ran away. Now the creditor comes to the door with an IOU, and Guan Sun Junshou asks for money, and if he doesn't give money, he will file a lawsuit. Hu Min took a sip of wine, "Also, he came with three or four hundred city guards, Panlong City does not allow private individuals to take so many weapons, only leave ten guards for the Sun family, and all the rest must be broken up and incorporated into the city defenders." ”
He Lingchuan shook his head: "Sun Junshou must send people all over the river and valley to find those two iron clips now." ”
"He shouted that he wanted to find Lord Zhong to comment, but unfortunately this is not the Weicheng he said." Hu Min said lazily, "Over the years, many nobles in the vicinity have moved to Panlong City to ask for a side of Gou'an, and there are many people who want to be powerful. Hehe, that's all about fart! ”
"The houses in Panlong City are expensive, aren't they?"
The guy brought the pork head meat, smoked and marinated, and mixed with coriander. Hearing the two discuss, he interjected with great pride:
"Isn't that? In the entire Panlong Wasteland, only here is the safest, and a large number of foreigners move here every year! ”
Who doesn't yearn for a peaceful and stable life?
Panlong City is the safest and attracts the largest number of people.
He Lingchuan was curious: "So many people, can they be placed?" ”
"It's okay right now. The city has long been full, and the Chipa Plateau is a large place, and it is easy to reclaim the land and open mines if there are many people. Lord Zhong said that when there are fewer people, Panlong City is dangerous. ”
The first element of war must be people.
Hu Min said again: "The houses in Panlong City are divided into fifteen grades. Among them, there are fifth-class luxury houses, but even first-class luxury houses cannot occupy more than ten acres; There are nine grades of private houses. All of the above were basically for officials, soldiers and ordinary people to live in, and were officially distributed, and only the fourth and fifth class mansions could be bought and sold freely. ”
"What about the other one?" He Lingchuan only heard fourteen.
"There is also a place called a dwelling, where slaves and prisoners of war lived."
He Lingchuan expressed his understanding, after all, Panlong City has always been in a state of wartime, and unlike the free circulation of people, money, and goods in ordinary areas, the laws and regulations promulgated here are mandatory and controlling.
He sighed. It's not easy to live, and Panlong City was forced to choose a difficult way to play.
Hearing his sigh, Hu Min looked over: "I heard that you are a Tusu person?" ”
He did say it to Commander Xiao, and He Lingchuan nodded.
"You'll settle in Panlong City in the future, right?" From Hu Min's point of view, there is no reason to say "no".
He Lingchuan took a sip of wine and a mouthful of meat, and said with Huhu: "I have this idea." ”
If you come in in a dream, is it considered to be settled?
"That's easy to do, you have a meritorious role in assisting the civilians of Weicheng to retreat, and at that time, Commander Xiao said, increase the title, add food, and add fields! Panlong City has always been a place where rewards and punishments are clear, and these rewards have not been run. I'll take you to get it later! ”
After drinking too much wine, the two began to get acquainted, and Hu Min patted his chest to take care of it.
He Lingchuan was stunned: "I'm going to have a title here?" ”
Promotion, salary increase, and land purchase in one step? It's too fast, it's so beautiful that it's like a dream, and that's what he pursued in his previous life.
Oh no, he's in a dream right now.
Hu Min patted him on the shoulder: "In Panlong City, if you have military merits, you have everything!" ”
The credit for taking his life in exchange is certainly worth rewarding.
"If you want to make a career and fight the fastest?"
"Of course!"
The two toasted each other with a glass of wine, and He Lingchuan remembered someone again.
"By the way, what should Monsanto do?" That guy caused a lot of trouble to the Gale Army, but after being caught in the beast and breaking his leg, he couldn't move, and the Gale Army didn't pay attention to him after unloading his weapon, and he must have been too busy at the time, and he didn't know what to do afterwards. "Chopped with a knife?"
"Oh, no." Hu Min said with a smile, "General Hong saw him and thought it was a manufacturable material, so he locked him up to recuperate." His leg had been clamped for so long that he almost sawed it, and his recovery was even slower. ”
"Will he surrender?"
"I don't want to yet, but I can't say for sure." Hu Min said, "Panlong City has received a lot of generals, and it has its own set of experiences. ”
"Didn't defect again?" He Lingchuan said, "People's hearts are fickle, and there may be a three-surnamed slave." ”
Hu Min smiled: "Not at the moment." ”
Speaking of this, He Lingchuan still has a question, and he has been thinking about it for a long time: "By the way, when I entered the city, I saw that the guards were relaxed, and people, goods, and property could easily clear customs. Isn't Panlong City afraid of spies breaking in? ”
The tightest fortresses are often breached from the inside, as evidenced by the Woling Pass at least twice.
But Panlong City has been standing for thirty-two years, and there has never been such a fork. Not only He Lingchuan, but later generations of countries were curious about how it did it.
"Don't be afraid." Hu Min sandwiched a piece of pig's head meat, chewed it slowly, "Those who have ill intentions about Panlong City will be exposed as soon as they pass the city gate." What exactly is this means, no one knows. Anyway, it's enough for you to know this: the spy just can't walk in through the main entrance. ”
He Lingchuan let out a long sigh, looking half-understood.
Of course, there are only three words that come to mind in his heart:
Three corpse insects.
At this time, Zhong Shengguang had already succeeded in rewarding the gods, and the gods of Mitian gave him a generous pot, so the three corpse insects were extremely powerful tools with various uses.
As long as it is used properly, Panlong City is like a tiger with wings.
He Lingchuan's eyes turned slightly: "By the way, when did General Red appear?" ”
"Hmm...... Almost three years ago. ”
In other words, the Panlong Wasteland became an enclave again three or four years ago. If Zhong Shengguang took charge of Panlong City and began to resist foreign insults to keep track of the time alone, then it should be about fifteen or sixteen years of the Panlong calendar.
He Lingchuan shook his head secretly, the mother country was too weak, and it was really a great pain and suffering for the soldiers and civilians on the border.
Hu Min said again: "Speaking of which, many of the new regulations in Panlong City were only promulgated three or four years ago, such as the homestead grade I just told you, which was originally only three or four grades, but now it has been expanded to fifteen grades. There are so many rules and so on, and you can get to know it slowly. ”
"I've always wondered, what kind of person is General Hong?" He refilled Hu Min very diligently, and put on an open mind to listen to the teaching.
Hu Min raised his glass and drank: "I can't say it." In short, you'll know when you see it. ”
