Chapter 20: The Beginning of War

"Master, that's it!" The next morning, just after dawn, a healthy servant who had been dismissed for taking care of Xiaofu was kneeling on the ground at the moment, but not far away, a child was sleeping peacefully in the arms of Zhao Lu's daughter, with a circle of gauze wrapped in his left hand, and some tears on his little face.

"You go down, you have to take care of Xiaofu carefully in the future!" Zhao Lu waved his hand, although he also knew that if he encountered this kind of thing again, no matter how careful and careful he was, it would be useless, this time Wan Qingping could send someone to send Xiaofu to the Jian servant's house in the middle of the night, and this matter would end here.

"Dad, do you know who did this, do you want to ......" Zhao Lu's daughter looked at the circle of gauze of the child in her arms and said hatefully.

"Hmph! What do you know as a woman, if this is the case, not only Xiaofu will be short of a little finger, but the whole family may die! This matter should not be mentioned again, you stare at Xiaofu, I will go to rest first, I haven't closed my eyes for two whole days!" reprimanded his insightful daughter, Zhao Lu really couldn't stand it, after all, he was already in his sixties, and now that the matter had been resolved, he walked out of the study and went straight to the bedroom.

After a few days, Wan Qingping found a gap to invite Zhou Minghu to drink, and by the way, he bought some medicinal materials for practicing martial arts.

The drinking place is naturally not a roadside tavern, but has become a Dingxianglou in Chishui City that has a hand in making a full donkey feast, fried donkey meat with green onions, stir-fried donkey sausages, garlic roasted donkey belly, donkey three pieces, sauce fried donkey hoof tendons, donkey miscellaneous soup, plus three kinds of vegetarian dishes, made up eight dishes, and then the two brothers ate and drank happily.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wan Qingping put down his chopsticks, took out five silver tickets from his waist, pushed them to Zhou Minghu's table and said, "Minghu, take it!"

"Big brother, I can't accept this! I can now get almost thirteen or fourteen taels of silver every month, my mother and I have food and drink, and this is thanks to the eldest brother's mention, and I still collect the eldest brother's money for doing that little thing, and I Zhou Minghu still has to be shameless!" Zhou Minghu pushed the five hundred taels of silver tickets over and shook his head.

"Minghu, it seems that you have been trained in the past two years, and what you say is like a mess of the rivers and lakes! But you still have to take this money! I told you back then, if you want to eat big meat and drink spicy wine, you can't eat more than ten taels of silver a month, not much, five hundred taels only, you take these, marry a daughter-in-law, and make your mother happy. Brother, I still have a lot of them here!" Wan Qingping looked at Zhou Minghu and pushed the silver ticket over again, and said like this.

Wan Qingping knew that those who mixed the rivers and lakes could not eat alone, eat meat by themselves, and drink some soup from their subordinates, so that their subordinates could be loyal. Eating alone is a momentary trend, a taboo in the rivers and lakes, and a wise man does not do it!

However, I also sighed that this honest man who couldn't even beat people back then had really experienced it, he spoke and did things in a good way, and he was not soft-hearted when he chopped people's fingers, and what was even more precious was that when Wan Qingping intersected with him at the end of the micro, he could be regarded as his right-hand man!

In the end, Zhou Minghu still accepted the silver ticket, and then there was a staggering of chips, and finally the two brothers staggered when they drank.

With the assistance of good medicinal materials, Wan Qingping's internal strength also entered the realm very quickly, and the poor and rich martial arts are by no means lip service, if you want to become a good hand in the rivers and lakes, it is absolutely indispensable to pile up money, especially for those who practice internal strength.

However, now that he has reached the third-rate realm, and he has been familiar with it for three years in the Zhao Mansion, Wan Qingping has also been sent to be the leader of the guards who escort the grain, and he will not be in Chishui City for half a month.

On this day, Wan Qingping was resting in a teahouse on the side of the road, surrounded by all the guards of the Zhao Mansion and the bookkeepers, this time escorting a batch of grain back to Fengcheng, where the Zhao family had a sale.

After resting in the teahouse for less than two quarters of an hour, I saw a large group of soldiers in bright armor waving their banners and waving swords and guns on the official road, and the smoke and dust they brought up were so thick that the horses and carts tied to the side of the road could not stop sneezing.

This is already the fourth batch of soldiers and horses encountered along the way, what happened here?

The car shop teahouse, the most well-informed here, so Wan Qingping called the shopkeeper, threw a small piece of loose silver over, and the shopkeeper immediately smiled and explained: "So that the master knows, this is going to war!"

"To go to war, who is going to war with whom?"

"I heard the guest officials from the south to the north say that our Chishui City is going to fight with Fengcheng, Wanshan City was beaten by Kaicheng again, and Surabaya City has been killed in Mengcheng, it is said that there is no place not to fight this time, just like the big war a hundred years ago! The shopkeeper probably was also a talker, and he was rewarded, and he talked even more about it, until a guest at the next table called for tea.

"Wouldn't this be a trip to Fengcheng, boss?" said an ordinary guard of the Zhao Mansion next to him.

"Then it's a fart, I didn't hear that our Chishui City and Fengcheng are doing it, and if you go again, you'll become a enemy, and you want to catch it and eat old rice!" Wan Qingping threw the horsewhip in his hand on the table, seeing that he was about to go to the border, as long as he finished transporting it, he would be able to be comfortable for half a month, but now he can't transport it, and it makes people depressed to think about it.

"Li Yuping, Zhao Tianyou, you two ride back to the house on fast horses, ask how to deal with this matter, the others will rest later, find a hotel to stay in first, but take turns to rest at night, and take care of the food!" Wan Qingping ordered in an orderly manner, and the others naturally had no objections, but they just hurt the two guards who reported the news, and this way was galloping, and it was estimated that they could wear out the crotch of their pants.

After drinking tea, everyone drove the carriage to pull the grain and turned back, and there was an inn in less than two miles, and everyone stayed here, waiting for news from the house.
