Chapter 127: Exit
Chapter 127 Exit
Zhao Yang said with a gloomy expression: "I only found out a few days ago that this third lady turned out to be a distant cousin of mine, and I was going to visit it in a few days, but I didn't expect ......"
Xu was afraid that Zhu would not believe it, and hurriedly added: "My family has a thin population, and there have only been two brothers since I was a child. ”
Zhu saw that his expression was natural, and the crying just now didn't seem to be fake at all, and then he thought that his full name was Chen Yangluo, and his mother was also surnamed Chen, so he immediately believed him, but he didn't expect that she and Luo would have this layer of cousins.
Zhu Xin was already a little close to Zhao Yang, but now that he saw that he was sincere, he thought that he could learn about Luo through him in the future, and immediately thought of accepting it.
Zhu deliberately picked some interesting things between sisters to say, Zhao Yang was surprised and envious when he heard it: "The deep relationship between sisters is really enviable, although my younger brother also calls me big brother, but he has not been close to me since he was a child." ”
The bamboo snake followed the stick, and immediately said: "I am very close to my brother, why don't you worship as a brother with a different surname?" ”
Wei Liao on the side muttered: "The old man was born and died, and I didn't see him say that he wanted to worship." ”
Yang Hua leaned close to his ear and said softly, "Do you want to be a brother and sister with her?" ”
Wei Liao glanced at Yang Hua, and said in a low voice: "Didn't Brother Yang always treat her like a sister?" ”
The two of them laughed, hooked their shoulders and called them brothers, which attracted everyone's sideways, and Zhu took the opportunity to say to Zhao Yang, who was full of envy: "The two of them are sworn brothers, what do you think?" ”
Zhao Yang was arrogant, grabbed the bamboo wrist, and said loudly: "Okay, good, I, Zhao Yang, will worship my virtuous brother as a brother with a different surname today!" ”
The boy beside him snorted: "Gong ......" but he glared at him fiercely and was immediately silent.
At that moment, the two took two burning dead branches from the fire, used them as incense candles, and swore to the emperor and queen soil in this broken temple, kowtowed three times in a row, and became brothers with different surnames.
When calculating his birthday, he found that Zhu, who was short in stature, was actually a year older, so Tian became his elder brother, and Zhao Yang recognized him as his second brother.
That night, the two talked all night in the temple, very close to each other, the next day because they had important things, according to the farewell, Zhao Yang made an appointment with Zhu to visit him when he returned, and Zhu happily agreed.
The prosperity of Ningdu is accompanied by a sense of leisure, and all the people and guests linger, and Chu is dignified and lacks a little tranquility, but it gives people an unusual sense of stability.
Seeing the huge city wall made of gray boulders in Chudu from afar, Zhu and others were deeply shocked, Chudu is like a gray giant beast, entrenched on this thousand miles of Pingchuan, symbolizing the arrogance of the Chu Emperor and his disdain for the barbarians, the world knows that as long as he breaks through the northern frontier, Chudu is an unguarded girl, let the king pick up. It's a pity that since the founding of the Daning Dynasty, the iron walls of northern Xinjiang have firmly kept out the barbarians on the grassland.
After admiring for a moment, Zhu resolutely turned the head of the car, raised his whip, pointed directly at the northern Xinjiang, and shouted: "Drive!" The crowd galloped behind her.
Half a day later, several people stopped on a hill, and saw a city wall built along the ridge in the distance, spreading for dozens of miles, not seeing the head and tail, the bamboo heart was surging, and knew that it was the world-famous Great Wall.
Duan Qingyan picked up several stones of different sizes, fiddled with them on the ground, and laid out a miniature terrain for a while, she pointed to the stones on the ground and explained them one by one: "This is where we are now, these are the two beacon towers in Northern Chu, and to the north is the territory of the Tartars, there is a small town between the beacon towers, which is heavily guarded, and the local townspeople have identity plates. ”
She pointed to the place a little north of the town and said, "This is the only mutual market between Northern Chu and Tatar, and there is a passage on each side of the market, which is only accessible to merchants from both sides. ”
Wei Liao on the side sneered, along the way, he had long been dissatisfied with Zhu's treatment of Duan Qingyan differently, and when he saw Duan Qingyan pointing out the general formation of troops, he was dissatisfied, and said mockingly: "How do you know that there is a town here?" How do you know it's an intermarket? Could it be that Chengjun was once a border citizen of Northern Chu?! ”
Duan Qing didn't raise his cigarette butt, and shouted fiercely: "Deputy General Wei!" ”
Wei Liao unconsciously responded: "No! ”
Immediately found that his body was straight, his right hand was in a fist across his left chest, and he actually stood in a standard military posture and came out, when Wei Liao looked at Duan Qingyan again, his heart couldn't help but rise a little awe, who is this? Even General Yan's iron-blooded wrist never had such an aggressive military might.
Wei Liao suddenly thought that this person was brought by Zhu after staying in Guangyuan City for a week, and Zhu was always respectful to him, and he was shocked, could it be her?!
After Duan Qingyan finished arranging, Zhu and the others got into the carriage, Wei Liao took two steps back, pulled Yang Hua's reins, and asked softly, "Is it, she?" ”
A simple her, but Yang Hua understood who he meant, patted Wei Liao's shoulder sympathetically, nodded and said, "Yes, it's her." With that, he pulled the reins of Wei Liao's hand and stepped forward.
It turned out to be her, and sure enough, it was her!
Wei Liao's heart was fluttering, remembering that when she was young, she rode alone and rode across the territory of Northern Chu, detouring thousands of miles, and after teasing Lan Zhige, the military god of Northern Chu who was chasing and intercepting, she left easily;
He once fought alone with the general of Northern Chu before the battle, and Northern Chu even had ten fierce generals, all of whom were defeated by her;
……
Wei Liao joined the army back then, and did everything possible to join General Yan's command, just to see his childhood idol, the unparalleled heroine in the world, Duan Qingyan!
Duan, Qing, Yan, and Wei Liao silently recited her name in their hearts, these three words only represent one meaning in the hearts of all Daning soldiers, God!
It's a pity that Wei Liao has been under the command of General Yan for several years, but he has a relationship with Duan Qingyan, in the past, she was the general's wife, living in a shallow way, but later she lived alone in General Beppu, I thought that there was no hope of seeing this strange woman in this life, but I never expected that I would walk with her for a few days, day and night!
Thinking of Duan Qingyan's every move these days, Wei Liao secretly smacked her tongue, she was so obvious, why didn't she see it?! He is familiar with camping in the wilderness, knows the territory of Northern Chu well, and if he is commanded by mountain bandits, he is not inferior to himself in martial arts, such a person, will there be a second one in Daning?
Wei Liao clamped the horse's belly, and several sprints to the carriage of Zhu and Duan Qingyan, without saying a word, silently followed, Zhu looked through the car window, and joked to Duan Qingyan: "Vice General Wei seems to know how powerful General Duan is." ”
Duan Qingyan laughed and said, "This guy really eats hard and doesn't eat soft!" ”
Wei Liao, who was beside the car, heard the joke of the car, and his face turned red rarely, but he did not fall half a step at all, and firmly followed the bamboo carriage.
The group arrived at the border town that night and found an inn to rest. After eating, I found out from the little two that the fifteenth day of the first month of each month is the day when the two sides exchange markets.
Do the math, today is October 12, and it just so happens that there are three days left.
In the past three days, except for Zhu and Duan Qingyan in the convoy, everyone else was busy and prepared.
October 15, North Chuhu City.
Zhu and the others were divided into two ways, pretending not to know each other, and blended into the mutual market.
In recent years, there has been little friction between Northern Chu and Tatar, and the mutual market has also flourished, and even the Tartar has many people wearing northerner costumes, Duan Qingyan gently explained in the bamboo ear: "Our fabric is more comfortable than the leather robe of the Tartar, and these merchants are afraid that they have forgotten the life on horseback." ”
Zhu smiled: "It's better, but those robes are useless." ”
The sun is rising higher and higher, and the mutual market is in full swing, and there are bargaining voices everywhere, and it is extremely noisy, and suddenly, there is a quarrel somewhere in the market: "Where are you a bastard, what's wrong with my fabric?!" ”
"Your fabric is brightly colored, but it falls off when you touch it, and at first glance, it is that the old cloth is dyed again, and it is shoddy."
But it was the two vendors who quarreled, and the officers under the control of Northern Chu were not surprised, and they didn't bother to raise their eyebrows, and when they were about to order one of their soldiers to be fined five taels of silver, as agreed, there were disputes in many places in the market at the same time.
Most of them are Northern Chu merchants, and occasionally there are Tatar merchants mixed with them, the atmosphere is hot, and they started to move their hands in an instant, the officer saw that the situation could not be controlled, and sounded the alarm bell at hand, and the soldiers ran out of the barn, forcing the merchants on both sides to retreat to their respective territories, and today the mutual market was forcibly dissolved.
Zhu lowered his head and followed behind Duan Qingyan, Yang Hua and Wei Liao were on the side, and the four of them led two carriages and caught them in the Tatar merchants, like a drop of water in the ocean, inconspicuous.
The Northern Chu side was heavily guarded, and the Tartar side was almost unguarded, and when he saw the merchants retreating, he stepped forward scoldingly, "What is the Chu dog crazy today, hurry up and pay the money, don't think that you don't have to pay if you don't do business." ”
Yang Hua took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and stuffed it, and several people easily got out of the pass, the endless prairie in front of them, reflecting the blue sky in the sky, the white clouds fluttering, the bamboo and Duan Qingyan glanced at each other, their hearts were full of pride, they beat the horses and whipped, and let the carriage gallop on this grassland.
Duan Qingyan said with a smile: "You are really a good strategy, that Northern Chu profiteer has been a shoddy businessman for many years, and it is already a default rule, but you asked your subordinates to flirt around." ”
Zhu Yi said with a smile: "Merchants are profitable, and it is nothing to dismantle each other." When there is chaos, everyone will run back to the place where they think it is safe, who would have thought that we would mix in the tartar and retreat?! ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they both thought in their hearts that this person was really a strange girl. For a while, I felt sorry for each other and a confidant.
Yang Hua and Wei Liao, who were driving another car, looked at each other, and both smiled helplessly, such a woman really made the men in the world embarrassed.
But he heard Duan Qingyan say again: "It's just that your two carts of cotton robes can't be sold for any price on this grassland." If you want to lay down your eyeliner and set a trade route, you are afraid that you will return in vain. ”。
