Chapter 9: The Bearer of the Bow
Take out the relics of Zhao Liangha and Liu Shiv.
Chen Sijiu had a conversation with Zhang Yu, saying that Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishiwei were injured by the tiger and died of their injuries.
Zhang Yumian was silent and glanced at Chen Sijiu.
He turned around and talked with those hunters, and then pulled Chen Sijiu to the side of the road.
"You killed both of them, right?"
Zhang Yu opened his mouth in surprise.
Chen Sijiu was startled, and waved his hands wildly: "Good man, this is not nonsense, we haven't even killed a chicken." ”
"Don't kill chickens, only kill people, right?"
Zhang Yu shook his head again.
His eyes flickered, and he whispered: "I don't care whether the two of them were killed by you or not, as long as you hand over this tiger skin, you will not be blamed for the past." ”
His words made Chen Sijiu show a surprised expression again.
However, thinking that Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi could see the wealth and wanted to make money and kill themselves, I am afraid that they are usually not good birds.
Chen Sijiu touched his head honestly and said: "We originally planned to give this tiger skin to you, although we have been cultivating in the mountains all the year round, we also know some trades, this tiger skin is worth ten taels of gold, after you take it and hand it in, you should be able to get a reward, right?" ”
"No, it won't."
Zhang Yu's tone showed bitterness.
"Now that the lord of the Eagle Hunting House is very heavy, this tiger skin is handed over, and our brothers can only get a pile of big ingots, that is, a pile of waste paper."
"And you're going to do that?"
"I will sell this tiger skin for some silver and give it to the brothers."
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Sijiu meaningfully: "We will leave a copy for Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi." ”
"Well, stay a little longer."
Chen Sijiu nodded.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yu was not polite, stretched out his hand, Chen Sijiu handed him the tiger skin, and explained his identity, Zhang Yu summoned all the hunters to discuss how everyone would divide the money after the tiger skin was sold.
Here, Li Chenggui settled the Jiangling Dajun and Naqi Chengniang, and everyone took the dead horses next to them, killed the horses and took the meat to keep to eat, and then turned the carriage over, and led the horses to drive on the car, and walked forward for more than ten miles, seeing that the sky was about to darken, he found a sheltered small stone next to the road to build a fort, which itself is a place where the past merchants and travelers temporarily rested, and it was piled up with soil and stones, and it can be used as a temporary fort with a little repair.
These trappers are good at survival in the wild, and this matter is very simple for them.
Chen Sijiu rode on his horse and wondered, "Why don't you continue to walk, but build a fort here?" ”
Li Chenggui smiled: "Zhuangshi, you don't know something. ”
He took out the waist card from his waist and said, "I have the body of a great general, and I can control these hunters, I have given out two hundred taels of silver, and asked them to serve as guards and send the king of Jiangling to Dadu." ”
Chen Sijiu sighed, squinted his eyes and said that this Li Chenggui has a hand in buying people's hearts.
Nowadays, Dayuan's treasure money is almost waste paper, and the people don't recognize treasure money at all, only copper and silver money, gold, and two hundred taels of silver, which is enough for the dozen or so hunters led by Zhang Yu to live a peaceful life for several years.
Although it is not clear about the price of grain in most of the capital today, it is not difficult to buy thousands of stones of grain for two hundred taels of silver.
And look at Zhang Yu, who is a Han Chinese, he can also speak Mongolian language, and he will be obedient to more than a dozen wolf-like and brave Han and Mongolian arresters.
Chen Sijiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the number of great vitality is about to be exhausted, the world's luck is falling apart, when the natural saint is born, but there are capable people coming out, this is also the big and small years, every time the dynasty changes, there will be many fierce people born and fierce generals, just like the Sui and Tang Dynasty Romance that wrote in the book, the world of great battles, but also the world of great wars, heroes and princes like rain.
However, it is difficult to say what these people will achieve in the future.
The number of lives is one thing, and the real achievement in the future depends on the current situation, and the current situation creates heroes.
Li Chenggui said again: "As for the strong man, I am willing to give fifty taels of gold, please serve as a guard to protect the Jiangling Dajun to go to Dadu, I have just heard you give Zhang Yu to the capture of hundreds of households, you are also going to Dadu Jixian Yuan, the Shangguan of Jixian Yuan is a lustful person, extremely greedy for money, you have these fifty taels of gold, it is much easier to walk in Dadu." ”
Chen Sijiu glanced at Li Chenggui, and a trace of murderous intent suddenly appeared in his heart.
This person is really a thoughtful person, although he didn't deliberately lower his voice when he spoke just now, but he was also vigilant around, who thought that he still secretly heard the origin.
Although I didn't plan to hide it, I told you personally that it is not the same thing as you eavesdropping.
Li Chenggui saw Chen Sijiu's eyes staring at him, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Sir, don't misunderstand, I didn't eavesdrop on you, but that little guard Wang Buhua, he was born with a good ear and can hear a lot of words with a good wind." ”
Chen Sijiu sighed and turned his head to look.
Sure enough, Wang Buhua, the little guard who had previously held a shield to protect the Jiangling Monarch and Qi Chengniang, was turning his ears sideways and listening attentively, while Jiangling Monarch Wang Qi asked beside him.
As if hearing the latest sentence, he looked at Chen Sijiu in horror.
Jiangling Grand Monarch Wang Qi naturally also found Chen Sijiu's terrifying eyes, although he was a little surprised, he gritted his teeth and pursed the corners of his mouth, showing a disdainful expression, still relying on his identity as the prince of Goryeo, not afraid of Chen Sijiu's appearance.
Chen Sijiu said coldly: "You tell Wang Qi that if he dares to let that little guard Wang Buhua eavesdrop on us, we will slap him." ”
"We monks don't talk and do what we say."
Li Chenggui's heart sank, and he arched his hand and said: "Sir, we are by no means meant to offend, but now it is a very moment, we have to be cautious, the prince of Jiangling was also once bitten by a snake for ten years afraid of the well rope, although this place is in the territory of Dayuan, but Cui Ying will definitely bring people to chase and kill, there is a group of horse bandits around here, specializing in robbing past merchants, if I am not mistaken, they will definitely buy that group of horse bandits, and then attack us, we are not hit by them and halfway, it is better to wait here for work, this battle will be fought after all." ”
Chen Sijiu squinted and pondered for a moment, didn't say anything, and went straight into the small hall to rest.
The hunters made bonfires and boiled a large pot of horse meat in iron pots that they carried with them, and it was said that horse meat was poisonous and had to be detoxified by drinking, so some hunters brought out their own treasured liquor.
Li Chenggui took the Jiangling Dajun and the little guard, and the little tribute girl hid next to the small qi and lit a fire alone.
There were often merchants coming and going here, and at night there were several caravans that were afraid of robbers' beards passing by during the day, but they were secretive about Chen Sijiu and others on the side of the road, and left in a hurry.
Don't underestimate the land of Liaobei.
Although this place is bitter and cold, but the products are abundant, and the Khitan has Liaobei iron ore and fertile land, and has become the country of ten thousand times.
In this area, there are many old ravines where there are gold mines, silver mines, agate mines, and crystal mines.
For example, in the twin cities where Li Chenggui's family is located, there are many gold diggers digging for sand and gold in the deep mountains and old forests, as well as picking ginseng and mountain goods, hunting, and keeping their hands a little to get a lot of good things, such as seal skin, bear skin, leopard gas, sold to the Central Plains capital, all of which are a hundred times the profit.
In addition to minerals, there are many mountain goods, hazel mushrooms, fungus, ganoderma lucidum, old ginseng, astragalus, yellow essence, red ginseng, blueberry berries, wild apricots, pecans, and various mountain fruits can also be used to make wine, so they are not short of drinks.
Alcohol is a life-saving medicine for trappers and mountain holders.
Zhang Yu took out a deerskin wine bag and threw it to Chen Sijiu and said, "Your bow seems to be very powerful." ”
After Chen Sijiu entered the house, because he had spent too much energy before, he had been sitting cross-legged, inhaling and regaining his spirit, and did not speak, but now the dantian had been running for a few weeks in one breath, and his face slowly became ruddy.
The dozen or so arrows before directly shot those Japanese ronins to death, and the layman looked at it as cool and wild, and the insider looked at it shockingly.
The giant bow with horns on his back is really too attractive.
As the old saying goes, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts.
Dayuan can be said to take the world with bows and horses, so the warriors who use bows and swords, whether they are soldiers or hunters, have a kind of confidence in their bows and arrows, and they can't take their eyes off Chen Sijiu's giant bow with horns.
Chen Sijiu exhaled, took the deerskin wine bag and poured it, shook his hair, and said with a light smile: "Want to try?" ”
Zhang Yu nodded.
Wine is the medicine that bridges the distance between people.
After a sip of wine, almost instantly, Chen Sijiu felt hot all over his body, it turned out that the wine in this deerskin wine bag was deer blood wine, which had the effect of warming the body and warming the yang.
He took out the giant bow behind him and threw it at Zhang Yu.
Bang.
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand to catch it, almost didn't hold it steady, obviously this horn giant bow was extremely heavy, his eyes showed surprise, and a few old hunters gathered around to study this horn giant bow, several people chattered, and they were surprised to touch this horn giant bow.
Zhang Yudao: "I have heard from Mr. Storyteller above, there is a history book called "Book of Liang" that it is recorded that a general named Yang Kan has extraordinary arm strength, and the bow used is twelve stones, and he immediately uses a six-stone bow, which is already rare in the world, and Yue Fei Yue Wumu can only open a three-stone bow, sir, your bow, I'm afraid there are fifteen stones?" ”
The ancients said that a warrior who can shoot a two-stone bow is a fierce man with "tiger power".
Chen Sijiu's horned giant bow, according to the three masters, I am afraid that it can only be opened by Yue Wumu's peak, and several fierce generals who are good at bows and arrows in history, such as Yang Youji, Huang Zhong, etc., have the highest bow power of only seven stones.
Although Chen Sijiu didn't know how heavy his horned giant bow was, he estimated that it would take ten stones to pull it apart, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to jump the string of the bow and arrow, and the bowstring was also made of the sacred cow tendon on Yingzhou, which was full of toughness.
At the beginning, in order to pull away this horn giant bow, Chen Sijiu was soaked in the medicine jar by the master at the age of 493, washed the tendons and cut the marrow with medicinal water, and ate all kinds of meat to supplement the strength of qi and blood since he was a child.
The warrior can lift three feet in one breath, climb the cliff with his hands and feet, and fly up, so he uses this kind of bow, and the point is also in the abdominal cavity of the dantian A long dantian qi.
There are three main points in using this bow, one is that the dantian qi is long, and then the strength of the stone lock is boiled with a cooked iron rod, and the other is the old ginseng medicinal wine that replenishes the temperature and yang, or the deer blood wine, and the second pot of pure liquor, so that it can play the best effect.
"I don't know, but there aren't many people in the world who can shoot this bow."
Zhang Yu said: "I hope that the nephew of Cheng Boyan in the imperial history will get rid of this bow that can be opened!" ”
"Oh?"
Chen Sijiu was surprised, frowned, and said, "Brother, are you joking, my bow is less than ten stones, and someone can open this bow?" ”
Zhang Yu beckoned Chen Sijiu to go over and roast the fire, and said while roasting the fire.
Chen Sijiu didn't see anyone else, and drank with a few old brothers in the past, chatting about most anecdotes.
It turned out that Zhang Yunai was a pure northern Han Chinese, and his ancestors were also from a family of Han military marquises, but his family was in the middle of the road, and he became a hunter, and he bought a hundred positions by spending money.
What he said about detachment is now the nephew of Boyan, one of the two powerful ministers of the Great Yuan, who has been good at writing and practicing martial arts since he was a child, and is one of the four gentlemen of Jinhua, Zhejiang Puyang Confucian Wu Zhifang, who learns martial arts and masters of various factions, can fight horses with his hands, can fight bulls, and is very brave.
Chen Sijiu pondered for a moment, and his eyes lit up.
It's him......
This person, the second master also had words.
The second master said that the strange monk Begu Ya had traveled all over the world, and gave many dignitaries and nobles to face, especially the descendants of the golden family of Dayuan, and the Mongolian Tianjiao who came into being in the younger generation, there is one called Toto, this person may be able to rule the world in the future, because Begu Ya had looked at the qi behind him, although he did not see the full picture, but he saw that he was quite lucky.
Another person, the Han name is called Wang Baobao, is the son of the Great Yuan Hanlin scholar Saiyin Chi Dahu, since he was a child, he is good at Confucianism, and he is also familiar with bow horses, and his uncle Chakhan Timur is also a descendant of the Golden Family, who has studied literature since childhood, and has also participated in the imperial examination of the Great Yuan.
The second master drunk the strange monk Beigu Cliff, and said from his mouth, if Dayuan loses its deer in the future, when the world's heroes rise together, one is free, and one Wang Baobao is born in response to the times, and there will be some creation.
Chen Sijiu narrowed his eyes and asked Zhang Yu about this person.
Zhang Yu said: "Sir, let's eat wine and meat first, rest for a while, and then say, that group of Goryeo killers gathered the beards of the nearby gold diggers and mountain holders, and most of them will attack in the middle of the night, and when they are dealt with, I will wait for the way back to Dadu to talk slowly." ”
Chen Sijiu snorted.
Don't say much immediately, drink and eat meat with everyone, horse meat has a sweet fragrance of grass after cooking, it is indeed different, Zhang Yu said, Mongolians basically don't eat horse meat, but most of them are Han people in northern Liaoning, or Yanyun Han people, so there is no taboo about horse meat.
After eating wine and meat, the night was dark, Zhang Yu arranged for a few hunters to go out to sentry, and the rest of the people finished the bows and arrows, traps, and swords, and all closed their eyes and pretended to sleep, recuperating.
Sure enough, in the second half of the night, a roar of fierce horses galloped sounded.
When everyone opened their eyes, Zhang Yu and Chen Sijiu glanced at each other and stood up silently.
The Lord of Jiangling, who had been beside him and hadn't spoken much, suddenly attacked Li Chenggui at this time, scolded him fiercely, saying that he was going out, and he was about to run outside when he turned around.
Chen Sijiu snorted coldly, sneering in his heart, this Jiangling Great Monarch Wang Qi, self-righteous and reckless, should have discovered Li Chenggui's attempt to hijack him to invite merit, right?
He didn't squeak either, just watched how Li Chenggui dealt with it.
Li Chenggui gritted his teeth, knocked the Jiangling Dajun unconscious with a knife, and put him in the grass pile on the side.
"The enemy is coming!"
Li Chenggui nodded at Chen Sijiu and looked at Zhang Yu.
"This is a feint, come here to spy on the intelligence, observe the traps around here."
Zhang Yudao.
Chen Sijiu jumped up, climbed to the top of the small bar, looked down into the distance, the night was good tonight, and the shadow could be seen clearly a hundred steps away, he looked at it for a while, and said: "There are more than 100 people in this group of beards and killers, and there are bed crossbows!" ”
"What!?"
Li Chenggui was shocked.
