Chapter 2 Yangzhou City

From Jiubian to Yangzhou, Zuo Lingtian and his three personal soldiers walked for half a month.

When he first arrived in the south, Zuo Lingtian sighed that the suitable environment in the south was indeed a place where the heavenly gods lived compared to the nine sides where the four seasons were mostly cold.

Especially when he arrived in Yangzhou, Zuo Lingtian was surprised by the prosperous scene, close to the Haijiang River to and fro with ships, the dignitaries and nobles on the Jinfei Lake on the Yangtze River had fun all night, and the singing and smiling faces of the beauties made people nostalgic and forgetful.

As the richest place in the world, although not everyone wears silk and satin, it is much stronger than Zuo Lingtian and the four people wearing rough military uniforms.

To put it bluntly, the three pro-soldiers are still teenagers, and they have a lot of fun, and the three people who have come to the desolate north all the way have never seen such a prosperous place.

The four dismounted and walked.

One of them, the guard Xiaosan, said: "Yangzhou City is really the richest place in the world, I can live here in my life." ”

After listening to Xiao San's words, the other two guards Li Er, Ah Da and Zuo Lingtian laughed one after another.

"Haha, junior, you really want to stay here."

"Of course, Ah Da, since I was a child, I have heard the general say that Yangzhou is prosperous, and now it is really a scene in the sky."

Xiao San's eyes were full of longing, and Li Er took over and asked, "You stay here, it's a deserter." ”

This is obviously teasing Xiao San, Zuo Ling Tian said: "Okay, okay, when you come out of the army in the future, I will find a place for you to settle here." ”

"Still, the general is reliable, Ah Da, second brother, my three brothers were not wrong back then."

After hearing this, the junior can settle here and be more lively.

In the distance, a galloping carriage crashed into four people.

Zuo Ling Tianyan quickly grabbed the reins of the horse and restrained the galloping carriage, and several young drivers in the carriage were thrown to the ground due to the sudden stop of the carriage.

One of the older teenagers picked up the horsewhip and was about to beat, the junior rushed to kill on the battlefield for many years, and the reaction speed was not comparable to ordinary people, so he grabbed the horsewhip and grabbed the teenager and pressed him to the ground.

Zuo Lingtian secretly exerted his strength, slapped his palm on the carriage, and the beautifully decorated carriage instantly scattered into a pile of wood, and said in a deep voice to the young man who was pressed to the ground: "When driving a horse on the street, no matter whether others live or die, the ministers of the court and the central government have never fought like this, whipping people, and the emperor does not have such a temper as you." ”

At this time, a lot of people had already gathered on the street, and seeing that Zuo Lingtian was so aggressive, he directly suppressed the young man and wanted to ask for the crime, and there were many discussions.

"Which family's son-in-law brother is this, who dares to provoke Li Yuhan, the son of the general merchant Li Chaozong."

"That's guts."

"Even the prefect has to be humble when he sees the chief businessman, and he directly deducts the son-in-law of the family."

"Look at their clothes, they are not from our Yangzhou at all, they are estimated to be foreigners, and they have provoked the general merchant."

As soon as they were mentioned, everyone noticed the clothes of Zuo Lingtian and the others.

"It's miserable."

"Alas, who made them unlucky!"

"Scattered, scattered."

Not long after the people gathered, several officials scattered the people with swords.

Li Yuhan, who was pressed to the ground, sneered: "A few stinky things, you dare to provoke the master, wait for death." ”

Xiao San didn't hear it, and pressed Li Yuhan's arm harder, and Li Yuhan, who was in pain, couldn't speak.

Several officials walked up to Zuo Lingtian with knives and scolded: "Don't let go of Li Gongzi as soon as he was murdered on the street." ”

Ah Da and Li Er also drew their sabers, and the fierce guards were on both sides of Zuo Lingtian, and the joke was overwhelming? His own generals even have to be called his brother by Li Hou at the border gate, not to mention, now the commander-in-chief of Yangzhou has to call his own general the eldest brother.

Dayan established the country with martial arts, naturally martial arts, and the status of military generals was the same as that of civil officials, and there was no embarrassing situation of Zuo Lingtian's previous life, Song Ming.

At the same time, because military generals often command the soldiers and horses of a place, they are real powerful figures, and all supplies come directly from the central government and directly obey the orders of the central government, which prevents military generals from directly interfering in politics, and also makes military generals completely independent of the civilian system, and their deterrent power at the local level is far greater than that of ordinary civilian officials.

Several officials are not stupid, and the evil qi condensed on Ah Da and Li Er all shows that they crawled out of the pile of dead people.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, the rest of the teenagers took out their slingshots, aimed at Zuo Lingtian's forehead, and the marbles hit Zuo Lingtian's head, making him dizzy for a while, picking up marbles made of gold on the ground and holding them tightly in their hands.

Ah Da Li Er also doubted that the strength of his general was completely impossible to be hit by a child.

A few servants rushed up, Zuo Lingtian did a few people to understand the movements, although Ah Da and Li Er were puzzled, they still put down their weapons, and Xiao San did not resist.

In this way, Zuo Lingtian was arrested, and Ah Da, Li Er and Xiao San escaped.

For their own general was arrested, the three guards were not worried at all, to be honest, although Zuo Lingtian was injured now, it was very simple to get out of Yangzhou.

The important thing is to hurry up and find the current Yangzhou commander-in-chief Liu Hui, the three of them on the road touched the bruised eyes of the beaten and said puzzled.

"Ah Da, you are the smartest of the three of us, what do you pay attention to when the general fights?"

Ah Da pondered for a moment and didn't answer, but Li Er saw part of Zuo Lingtian's plan clearly.

"Maybe, the general has a grudge against those salt merchants, don't think about anything else first, finish the things that the general has explained, forget what happened to the Jia family of the Jia family who offended the general, forgive Jia, I came to Jiubian for half a year and was pitted by the general, I heard that he is still a national prince."

Xiao San also remembered Zuo Lingtian's methods, which were really sold, and he helped count the money, so he didn't think much about it in his heart, and sped up his pace.

Being remembered by Zuo Ling Tian is really immortal and half-disabled, this is the law that Xiao San has summed up in the past five years.

Halfway through, Xiao San still asked curiously: "You say, the general's own strength is obviously so high, even the famous great masters on the rivers and lakes can't beat it, I still can't figure out that it's okay to do it directly, why do you make such trouble." ”

Ah Da, who had a serious face, showed a strange expression and said, "The general said, what is this called bullying people with IQ, it is very cool to see that he is aggrieved." ”

Xiao San asked: "What about IQ can't be compared?" ”

Ah Da said in a deep voice: "There is still the second half of what the general said, his IQ can't compare to him, he admits defeat with his fists, and he still can't compare to himself, and it's more refreshing to be aggrieved on both sides."

"Hey, the general is really sinister...... No, it's really a pearl of wisdom. ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

........

In the prison, Zuo Lingtian sat quietly on the ground, not caring about the injury on his forehead at all, and several officials put him in the prison and did not continue to care about him.

Zuo Lingtian took out the marbles made of gold in his hand, and said with a wicked smile: "Yangzhou salt merchants are really rich, and their children's toys are all made of gold, don't ask you for a million taels, I'm sorry for myself." ”
