Chapter 123 Shock
Chapter 123 Shock
Seeing that the other party seemed to have no malicious intent, especially with such an overwhelming advantage, his group had no chance of winning and had no way to escape, Du Da Worm had to take a few steps forward and respond proudly: "Lao Tzu is Du Da Worm, which one are you?" ”
The young man in the long shirt smiled: "Brother Du is good." In Xia Luo Shifan, he helped in the camp of the deputy marshal of Xiangyang Pass, and he has been waiting for Brother Du here for two days. Luo had no malicious intentions, and if he had no choice but to offend, Luo first apologized to Brother Du and the brothers. As he spoke, he gave a deep salute.
Of course, the ears and eyes of the smugglers who walk the rivers and lakes are not ordinary well-informed, Du Daworm was taken aback when he heard this, and secretly said: Deputy Marshal of Xiangyang Pass? Isn't it that giant thief Guan Shengyun! With the assistance of the two Luo military divisions, leading a group of wolf-like tiger-like generals across thousands of miles like no one, breaking the mansion and killing officials in Kezhou, even the vassal kings were thrown to death, the court was completely helpless, not only pretending to be deaf and dumb, but also giving the name of a deputy marshal to appease, and now the grandiose place in northern Hubei called for wind and rain, a few days ago the eldest father (uncle) talked about this and sighed. My gang of people pin their heads to their trouser belts all day long to earn some hard-earned money, and then look at how people are doing that day! Judging by his age, this is Xiao Luo's military division. However, each other is neither friend nor foe, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, so why do you have to spend a lot of effort to block Lao Tzu? Could it be ...... Worried about our salt?
When I think about this, it seems to make some sense. Du Da Worm has a good personality and is brave and ruthless, but his brain is not stupid at all, he quickly calculated it in his heart, and immediately stuffed the handle of the knife into Cheng Ha'er's hand beside him, and returned the salute with a fist: "I have long admired the prestige of the commander of Guan and the military division of Luo." Du has always wanted to climb high, but he always missed it, and today is really a blessing for three lives! There is a way that if you don't fight, you don't know each other, these 20,000 catties of salt, just use it as Du's meeting gift to Luo Junshi, Luo Junshi should not be disgusted. Thousands of sons and daughters of the Du family admired your army very much. ”
That's a beautiful thing to say!
Luo Shifan praised in his heart. As soon as he made a move, it was a meeting gift of 20,000 catties of snowflake salt, and at the end of the soft and hard mention, a few thousand sons and daughters showed their strength, and in the past ten or twenty years, the Du family was able to do a good job in the private salt business in Sichuan and Hubei, and it seems that they really have some ability. So he replied: "Thank you, Brother Du!" It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Luo thanked Brother Du for Guan Shuai. My handsome family has also heard of Du Yuanwai for a long time, and he specially asked his younger brother to bring some heart to the outsider. As he spoke, someone handed over a wooden box, and Luo Shifan seemed to inadvertently take out a book from it, take a few steps forward, and hand it over with both hands.
As soon as they met, they gave away 20,000 catties of salt, and Du Daworm was really a little heartbroken - what a broken book can be worth 20,000 catties of snowflake salt! However, the people of the rivers and lakes pay attention to a courtesy, there are contacts and contacts, even if a layer of friendship is set up from then on, even if the other party gives you a chicken feather, it is considered a return of the gift, and the pendulum when walking the rivers and lakes in the future is not considered to have broken the dough. That's it, in such a battle, it is the virtue of the ancestors to be able to retreat with their whole body. Du Da Worm took it with both hands decently, and when he saw it, he was shocked, and the whole person froze!
Du Daworm is not very literate, but he is too familiar with this kind of book - this is actually a salt guide!
Du Daworm's hands trembled a little, and he didn't care if it was rude, he turned a few pages casually, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot: the two links of the introduction and the introduction paper were empty, and each page was stamped with the official seal of the governor's yamen in bright red!
Du Daworm was so shocked that he couldn't speak, as expected. Luo Shifan looked at him and said lightly: "Brother Du, don't dislike it, there are still nine books in the box, Brother Du, please put them away." In addition, Luo also prepared a few hundred taels of silver, which should be used to make amends to the brothers, and the brothers should buy a glass of water and wine to relieve their fatigue. ”
Du Daworm felt like a mirror in his heart: Compared with this gift, the 20,000 catties of salt that he was still a little distressed about just now are simply not worth mentioning! With this, there is no need to be afraid, you can take the official road openly, and no one is afraid of checking - this is not a salt introduction issued by a prefecture or county, it is a dignified governor's yamen! What's more, with the tail paper in hand, the price of the shot is more than twice as high as the private salt!
I thought that my courtesy was enough, but I didn't expect people to be so bold when they made a move! Moreover, if you really set up a dragon gate array, the other party could have been regarded as a person in the rivers and lakes (of course, the strength is much greater than your own), and it is not a real official, and it is not a shame to worship, if you can borrow water and boat to catch such a hard backer...... As soon as he thought of this, Du Daworm knelt on the ground and shouted: "Villain Du Hu, thank Guan Shuai and Luo Junshi for the Du family." ”
Luo Shifan hurriedly stopped: "Brother Du, don't be polite." The road here is narrow, let's go ahead and talk. Please keep the root of the introduction, use up a copy, and trouble Du Yuan to send someone to send it back, and the younger brother will send it to the governor's yamen to write off the account. Well, there is one more thing for Brother Du Haihan. The two path-finding brothers in front of Brother Du were offended by us a little. Brother Du rest assured, he is fine, he just suffered some grievances, and now he is waiting for Brother Du in front. The younger brother has already apologized, and he will compensate them in front of Brother Du later. Brother Du doesn't blame them, there are all kinds of people in our department, pretending to be a woodcutter and taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, it is difficult for anyone to escape. Brother Du's people are indeed good men, except for blindly scolding, his tone is hard and tight, and the younger brother admires it very much, hahaha. ”
Du Daworm suddenly realized, no wonder the brother who was exploring the path in front didn't send a warning signal! At first, I thought that they must have been killed, and I planned to pretend to be confused, and it was a big deal to give the family a little more silver. It is inevitable to do this line of work, and it is inevitable to kill a few lives in vain, and you must not be entangled with two horses, and you must not tie the dead bond with such a powerful opponent. According to Master Luo, those two brothers are fine! Du Daworm couldn't help but be impressed by Luo Shifan, who was obviously much younger than him. The mouth hurriedly continued: "Never! Luo Junshi killed the villain. ”
The group turned around the foot of the mountain, and not far ahead, an orderly camp tent appeared in the open space on the bank of the Daning River. Although there are no trenches to keep away horses, wooden fences and lookouts are all in a decent manner.
A long horn sounded in the procession, a small flag on the lookout in the distance grinded, and a faint echoing trumpet sound, followed by the slow opening of the two camp gates...... All this not only made the Du Da insects, who had never seen the real elite of a hundred battles, smack their tongues, but also sighed every time they saw Luo Shifan, who had been marching with Luo Shifan for a few days and had long been familiar with such a scene.
The so-called layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway. After marching together for a few days, what frightened several Fubiao officers was not that all their actions showed that they were well-trained, and the most unbelievable thing was that this combat battalion of more than 600 people was not formed in the original squad, but was improvised from six infantry units randomly pulled out from three battalions! A team of 100 people took down the smuggling boat moored in the Daning River in three times and five by two, and looking at their posture of handling the boat, they should be good hands in the water camp! The other two infantry teams, as if the leader is called Jia Liuzi (the officers of the standard battalion are also illiterate, do not know that this "walk" is not the other "six"), led a few guys with ropes coiled around their waists to climb up the mountain in full view, and in a moment, the rest of the people climbed and dragged the rope and disappeared into the dense forest, no matter how you stare at the area and search carefully, you can't tell anything unusual, and a fake tree to report the news has been erected in the blind corner of the field of vision on the top of the mountain...... These tactics are simply eye-opening! The three infantry teams blocking the road today are even more unusual. Looking at them individually, they are all soldiers, except for the sturdy ones are nothing unusual (of course, the iron armor full of clothes makes a few people drool), but lining up shows something special: standing in the middle of them, the hairs on your whole body will rise unconsciously, your whole body is crawling like small insects, your chest is like being blocked by a stone, and you are uncomfortable anywhere! The officers all know that this is the so-called "murderous spirit", and only the elite of a hundred battles who kill the enemy can bring this invisible sense of oppression to people!
Obviously from three war battalions that are not subordinate to each other, but they cooperate so tacitly that they really start...... Well, let alone fighting them, even if the 1,500 support auxiliaries who follow the army fight, their own proud and proud Fubiao will definitely not be an opponent! In particular, a few people were shocked, listening to the words of the auxiliary soldiers, many of them had shot and killed people with their own hands! Not to mention killing, the guys who have injured people are all arrogant and superior in the Fubiao camp, and their chins are tilted to the sky...... Here, there is only the share of hard work and digging for water and wood!
Coincidentally, the officers once again made up their minds in their hearts: if one day Lord Fuzun had the wrong tendon in his brain and had to go to war with them, he would go out and fight and break his leg by the big board, and he would desperately stop the adult's thoughts - fighting against such an army is not called fighting, it is called death!
After entering the command account of the Chinese army, Luo Yonghao introduced several accompanying Fubiao officers to Du Daworm, and the two sides said to each other "no fight, no acquaintance" and hypocritically polite. The boss of the boat tied like zongzi and two pathfinders were also "invited" in, Luo Shifan and Du Da Worm explained a few words respectively, and someone led it, and the smuggling boat returned to Du Da Worm's hands again. The battalion officer of the standard battalion, the guerrilla Dai Shan, who has the rank of staff general, beckoned to call the famous Qianzong: "Brother Du, this is the horseman under the last general, Qian, go with your boat, there is a waist card of Fubiao, no one dares to stop this way, and it will be bento." ”
Of course, Du Daworm understands that the "last general" in General Dai's mouth is clearly for Luo Junshi, and he is a small leader of a smuggler of salt, where does he dare to hold on to his big position, and he bows to the ground and is grateful.
Luo Shifan said: "Brother Du, your 20,000 catties of salt should also be sent to the ship." Warm heart, just make up a whole number. Don't shirk, the younger brother knows that the number has been set everywhere along the way, and it is not suitable for anyone to be in shortage. ”
Du Da Worm, who was completely smashed in the head by a series of accidents, was still to be distinguished, and Luo Shifan waved his hand undoubtedly: "Brother Du is a well-known man, don't be like a child." It's not a secret, the younger brother also has something to ask for, if Brother Du blindly refuses, he won't be able to speak. ”
Du Da Worm wondered: Jian Jingneng has obviously colluded with you, what else is there to do to come to our Du family who sells smuggled salt? But the people inside and outside the family have already given enough face, so they have to give up: "Listen to the orders of Luo Junshi and General Dai, and the villain will not dare to disobey." ”
Luo Shifan said solemnly: "In addition to the junior brother asking to see Du Yuan, he also asked Brother Du to introduce him." ”
Du Daworm understood: Luo Junshi wants to see his father, it must be for something terrible. People say that if they want to introduce themselves, there will be no malice - Dad is a person on Daning's face who can't be avoided, with such strength, if there is really anything evil, just drive over directly! At the moment, he said: "The villain will take care of it." The villain will lead the way for the military master. ”
Luo Shifan smiled: "There is Brother Laodu." ”
Seeing that Du Daworm still had some doubts after all, Luo Shifan added: "Brother Du, don't worry, it's a good thing for the younger brother to find Du Yuanwai." If Brother Du is convenient, Little Brother wants to ask, how much salt can your family produce every year? ”
How? Du Da Worm's heart moved when he heard this, and he replied cautiously: "The villain doesn't know much about the detailed accounts. It is estimated that there should be hundreds of thousands or millions of catties. ”
Luo Shifan frowned: "So little? ”
Du Da Worm said in his heart, of course Lao Tzu said less, who knows what you have in mind. However, seeing that Luo Junshi's expression was not pretending, he asked tentatively: "Master Junshi, how much salt does your army need?" ”
Luo Shifan shook his head and said, "Our army is not short of salt. My handsome family wants to cooperate with Du Yuanwai in some business. A million catties of salt is indeed too little. ”
Du Daworm asked, "How much does the military master want?" Dad, there should be some way to do it. ”
Luo Shifan looked at Du Da Worm's eyes and said slowly: "Fifty million catties." ”
With a "boom" in his head, Du Daworm was stunned, and only heard Luo Shifan add in his ears: "In the first year, I only need these, barely enough." It will be doubled the following year. ”
Du Daworm froze on the spot again.
