Chapter 80 Under the Cross Slope, Guests Come Like Homecoming
"Hmph, I go to the banquet every day, this little day is a good day." Chaojiazhuang, Wu Yong sneered at the information sent back from the flying pigeon of Yuncheng Wangxianglou.
In the past few months, the poisonous starling Chen Leopard has tamed several batches of pigeons and put them into various hotels. It is not possible to fly long distances due to breed issues, but short-haul communication is no problem. Without leaving the base camp, you can grasp the movements around Jeju.
Now Chen Bao has been urgently transferred back to domesticate Fujian wild pigeons, and it is not a problem to transmit messages over long distances over time. Chao Gai can also lead the team to guide remotely when he is outside.
Wu Yong is very capable, and he has been in charge of housekeeping in Chaojiazhuang for two months. Various business stalls are spreading step by step, and profits are increasing. The new style of pastry production taught by Chao Gai has become a popular seller in restaurants all over the world.
There is one more way to sell, and the funds are sufficient!
The purchase of grain, linen and other materials from the outside world, and the private purchase of official grain, leather armor and other controlled materials from Yuncheng and Jeju government has never stopped.
More than a month ago, Yuncheng Renzhi County acted as a liaison in place. There are not many of them, only more than 100 sets, and more than 300 sets of fine rhinoceros leather armor. The brand new price is a bit expensive, but it's still a whole purchase.
The earthen wall outside Chaojiazhuang is already six meters high and four meters thick. It's just that a large group of young people are strong, and the soldiers continue to ram the earth outside in unison. On the inside and outside, deep trenches were dug along the earthen walls and rammed earth to lay the foundation......
Some say it was an intention to dig a moat, some say it was a plan for the thickness of the city wall, and some say it was to prepare for the construction of a female wall......
The people who came and went, the caravan did not know what was going on, and they all discussed and speculated in private. But one thing is for sure, Chaojiazhuang is becoming more and more prosperous.
Wu Yong walked in the Zhuangzi that was like a county seat, listening to the project reports of Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian. It is a joy to the rapid development of the changes in the village. It's just that Han Shizhong has been away for three or four months, and he is a little worried about not returning.
"Hey, brother, where are you now?"
……
Chao Gai led the team to bid farewell to Hua Rong and marched west as before. This time, I will grow a wise man, and I will no longer go deep into the mountains. He also wears a military watch and uses a compass to tell the way.
Without the group of recruits led by Hua Rong, the training intensity of the pro-guard team intensified. The daily march gradually ascended from fifty miles, and from time to time there were sudden battles or scuffles, and in the middle of the night there would be unexpected encounters......
Kong Ming and Kong Liang witnessed the sharp increase in intensity, and they felt the pain and were happy. When encountering a market town, they will rush to buy medicinal herbs and go to the restaurant to eat and drink.
More than half a month later, they were full of anger, raised eyebrows, fierce and mature. Compared with the previous appearance of the son, it is like two people. In terms of martial arts, he has improved rapidly, and he is considered to be the best among the third-rate generals.
As November approaches, it's a gloomy day again, and the weather in the north is getting colder!
Chao Gai faced the howling north wind and looked at the fork in the road ahead. Behind him were more than 300 guards dressed in winter clothes, standing upright, no one spoke, no one moved, their eyes stared straight ahead and waited for orders. No matter how strong the wind is and how cold the weather is, it can't be shaken for half a minute.
After several months of hard training from beginning to end, the three hundred guards took shape. The will is as strong as a rock, he is used to iron armor, and his physical strength is far beyond ordinary people. All the conditions are met, and it is time to rehearse the military formation according to the records of the golden rhino.
Out of the corner of his eye, Chao Gai saw that the people behind him were like statues, and he couldn't help but nod his head with satisfaction, his hard work in the past few months had not been in vain.
"Brother, I met a woodcutter halfway and found out clearly, Mengzhou is more than 20 miles away. From this road is Mengzhou Road. At this time, Chen Hu, the Black Mountain Kite who was ordered to inquire about the news, rushed to the two Kong brothers from a distance. Point to the road on the left side of the fork in the road and report to Chao Gai.
"Okay, you lead the team to hang in the rear!" Chao Gai nodded, and after a few words, he took Guo Sheng, Li Kui, Kong Ming, and Kong Liang to go first.
They did not ride horses, but each with sharp weapons in their hands, and strode like flies. The rugged mountain road is also unstoppable, and the ancient trees along the way are towering and yellow. I don't know if it's because it's sparsely populated or cold, and there are no pedestrians on the road.
From noon to noon, I came to a hillside, looked down, surrounded by ancient woods and forests, inaccessible, no village in front of the village, no shop in the back. There are several thatched huts in the forest, and the wine banners on the flagpole flutter in the wind, occupying a very good terrain, and pedestrians from all directions pass by.
"Big tree Shizi Slope, passers-by who dare to cross. The fat ones make steamed buns, but the thin ones go to fill the river. Chao Gai looked down coldly and muttered in a low voice. From the beginning of mountain training, his initial goal was to come here, but he was delayed in Qingfeng Village for more than a month, and now he has traveled more than a thousand miles.
"Brother, is this the black shop you said? Let's get rid of it. Li Kui is straightforward and fiery, and he has heard Chao Gai talk about which wicked people have long been angry, and he is about to rush downhill when he stares at the bull's eye.
"Iron Bull, don't be reckless, look over there!" Guo Sheng had a mind and was very cautious, and grabbed Li Kui. Pointing to the left in front of the distance, laughter reminds me.
When everyone looked over, they saw two Xie Cha wearing wide hats and official uniforms on the road, escorting a man wearing a regimental head flail to the village store.
"Let's go, we've been walking for a long time, just in time to have a hot drink." Chao Gai looked behind him and saw Chen Hu leading the team to follow, so he smiled and proposed to a few people around him.
"There's medicine in the wine, I'm afraid I'll be numb."
"Scared? Brother Li Kui, this is not your style. ”
Li Kui, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was a little stunned, which provoked everyone to ridicule for a while. Chao Gai waved his big hand, and rushed downhill with the four people to follow the three people in front. The burly man in shackles can be seen. Either they didn't give money, or they were ruthless, and the shackles would not be removed.
The shouting behind him naturally alerted the two chauffeurs, turned around and saw that it was a few big men rushing towards them, they were taken aback at first, and after looking carefully, the merchants who saw that they were eating and drinking in the past breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and then escorted the prisoner straight to the hotel.
Chao Gai took Guo Sheng and others to shout and drink a few cups, but he was secretly vigilant. Because I saw an old locust tree on the side of the road, but it was different from the withering scene of other trees, and it was very rich and demonic. The body of the tree was at least the thickness of a few people hugging each other. The soil at the roots was a dark red that was damp and greasy, dripping into the soil like blood, and emitting a strange smell.
"Brother, it's human blood." Guo Sheng took a closer look, and his face was a little ugly.
"Sure enough, there was a problem! No one eats, no drinks, and looks at me when I enter the store. Chao Gai's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were cold. Throwing off the big stride to catch up with the three people in front, the big hand subconsciously held the steel hilt.
Guo Sheng, Li Kui, and the Kong brothers felt murderous and hurriedly followed. There are a few tables in the shed outside the village store, but there is no one and no bartender.
There is also a couplet at the main entrance of the village store, the left couplet: cross the bridge and get off the horse, there is a road to avoid the boat. Right link: It's not too late to find a stay, and the rooster crows to see the sky. Horizontal batch: Guests come like home.
The others are big and rude, and they look at it in vain, Chao Gai sees the right from the left, and sees the left from the right, and he can't help but feel a chill in his back when he does something in Lenovo.
Several people followed the three people in front of them, and the front and rear feet lifted the curtain and entered the hotel. It doesn't look good on the outside, but it's quite spacious inside, with a counter on the left hand side of the door, a passage leading to the back kitchen, and seven or eight square tables on the right.
Chao Gai was keenest to find that many tables had knife marks, and even reddish-brown marks. His eyes signaled Guo Sheng and the others to be on guard, this is a black shop.
The two men picked a table and put down the luggage package, and let the prisoner sit in the middle. One of them took the key to help him open the shackles, leaving his hands free for eating and drinking. One of them rubbed his hands and stomped his feet, and shouted at the inner room at the door curtain: "Restaurant, guests are here, quickly scald some wine to warm up." ”
"Do you want to do business anymore? The bartender is coming to scald the wine and cut the meat, and he will starve to death. Chao Gai sat on the table near the door, slapping the table and snorting roughly.
"Ouch, guest officer, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to ......, the slave family is steaming steamed buns in the back." The tolerance shouted a few times in succession, and only then did a woman's shout come from behind the curtain, and then a burly woman with big shoulders and a round waist rushed out. His hands were wet and he was wiping them with a rag.
I saw a hairpin ring on her head, some wild flowers on her sideburns, a green gauze shirt on her upper body, a bright red silk skirt tied underneath, a rouge and lead powder on her face, and her chest was open, revealing a pink gauze shirt. This winter's showcass is stylish, dressed very fashionably but looks vicious. The willow eyebrows are murderous, and the peach blossom eyes reveal a fierce light, which is by no means a good type.
Chao Gai squinted his eyes and looked at it, smacking his tongue in his heart, and such a passage automatically appeared in his mind. The woman's life was as stupid as a wheel, and her mallets were like mulberry hands and feet. Thickly covered with a layer of greasy powder to hide the naughty; Thick rubbing will be two faint rouge, directly invading the messy hair. The red dress is colorful and belly-wrapping, and the yellow hair is bright and golden. The bracelet cages the witch's arm, and the red shirt reflects the Yaksha.
This is most likely the dominatrix Sun Erniang, this body is fierce!
The woman was slightly stunned when she saw the two groups of guests coming, but she quickly reacted. Picking up the curtain and shouting to the back: "Little three, little four, guests are here." ”
Then the woman came to the two prisoners with a smile on her face, and while wiping the table, she asked, "What do you want to eat?" There is good wine, good meat, and especially freshly steamed steamed buns. ”
"Big steamed buns, big steamed buns, seventeen or eighteen." The two of them stared straight at the snow-white ravine on the woman's chest, and their mouths were chattering. However, the big man wearing shackles did not change his face and asked for wine and meat.
The woman said "wait a minute", and then came to Chao Gai and the others, a smell of rouge came to her face, and after the peach blossom eyes swept over Li Kui and the others, her eyes peeked at Chao Gai, who was full of beard, and deliberately bent down: "A few guest officers, are you eating or staying in a hotel?" ”
"You have to hurry after eating, if you have anything to eat, come up first, and count the money for you." Chao Gai scolded shamelessly in his heart, smiled intently, and put his hand on the bulging package next to him as if he was alert.
The woman's gaze was even vicious, and immediately shifted to the package. But it was very well hidden, and when Chao Gai saw it, he was full of smiles. Gently brushed his hair, answered the sound of "yes", twisted his waist, and went into the back to prepare.
"If there is a problem, act according to the plan." Chao Gai commanded in a low voice.
"Come on...... officer, come back with the meal you wanted." After a while, there was a shout from behind the curtain. Two burly juniors trotted in with trays, followed by the smiling woman!
