Chapter 238: Unspeakably Expensive

"Lord Wang, ...... this?"

Lao Ma looked at Wang Cheng, and then at the thousand or so people behind him, and didn't understand why he brought these people here at night.

"Let's get something to eat." Wang Cheng said.

"Eat?" The old horse was surprised.

There are more than 1,000 people, and they are all stubborn, no matter how you look at it, it looks like they are here to fight the autumn wind.

But so many people, if they fight the autumn wind, how much money will they get for each family?

Wang Cheng also realized that their sudden arrival was indeed abrupt, and it was a good explanation.

Seeing that Lao Ma still didn't believe it, Wang Cheng had no choice but to take out a gold ingot from his arms and hand it to Lao Ma, saying, "Lao Ma, this Matou Town is still familiar to you, help me find a place and get some broth for my brothers." ”

The old horse looked at the gold in his hand, and was dumbfounded for a while, could it be that this is real?

"Is there not enough money?" Wang Cheng asked.

The old horse hurriedly nodded and said, "Enough!" That's enough! ”

Then, he said to the crowd of onlookers behind him: "Don't fucking look at it, it's scattered!" ”

After everyone dispersed, Lao Ma tried to say to Wang Cheng: "Lord Wang, brothers, don't go into the city, Lao Ma has a manor nearby, let's go there to eat, can you see it?" ”

Wang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay!" Just listen to Boss Ma! ”

Subsequently, under the leadership of Lao Ma, more than a thousand people came to the manor in his mouth.

The manor is located in the southwest corner of Matou Town, covering an area of thousands of acres, in addition to growing grain, there are also a large number of horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock.

After everyone entered, a group of subordinates had already greeted them, and the old horse hurriedly ordered them to light a fire and cook.

Wang Cheng stood in the huge manor and couldn't help but say, "Boss Ma has such a big family business!" ”

"Not worth mentioning! Nothing! The old horse sneered.

Wang Cheng quipped: "Don't worry, Boss Ma, I won't borrow money from you." ”

Lao Ma smiled, and then quickly changed the topic: "Lord Wang, Lao Ma just got a good thing some time ago, please palm your eyes." ”

Wang Cheng did not refuse, and followed the old horse to a room in the manor.

There are rows of wooden shelves in the room, and all kinds of weapons are displayed on the wooden shelves, such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, axes, hooks, forks, boring sticks, and mallets.

It's an armory!

Wang Cheng's gaze suddenly focused on a spear standing in the room.

The body of the gun is made of cold iron, one zhang and three feet long, the head of the gun is in the shape of a black gold tiger head, the tiger's mouth swallows the blade, the body of the gun is gold-plated, it is made of platinum, and it is extremely sharp.

The old horse walked up to the spear, and struck his index finger on the barrel of the spear, and suddenly let out a soft roar, which lasted for a long time.

He looked at Wang Cheng and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, what do you think of this gun?" ”

"Good gun!" Wang Cheng couldn't help but say.

He is also a person who uses a gun, and the Zhu family of Ninghou Mansion personally built a gun for him, which was a gun that had reached the level of a spiritual weapon, but unfortunately it was broken.

It stands to reason that a spiritual weapon is not so easy to break, even if he can burst out with a huge force of ten thousand catties in his hand. But there was a bad thing about that gun, that is, the barrel was split into two parts, and if it was strong, it might break.

According to Zhu, when building the spear, there was a lack of materials, and two materials had to be used, so that the spear was divided into two parts.

However, he still wanted the spear, and he liked that the gun could be disassembled flexibly, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to carry a gun three or four meters long every day.

This gun looks extraordinary, the head of the gun and the barrel of the gun are integrated, if you don't touch it, it is as stable as an abyss, and the slightest touch will naturally release a cold killing intent.

"Coincidentally, this gun was picked up on the road when the old horse went to the west to buy a horse a few months ago. I still remember that night when the night was dark and windy, and the west side of our camp suddenly emitted a golden light, almost in a flash. ”

Lao Ma fell into the memories and said: "The old horse traveled from south to north, and such a vision must have a great treasure, so Lao Ma and several of his brothers went to check and found this gun in the wasteland. ”

Wang Cheng saw that what Lao Ma said was true, and he thought it was almost true.

Huangzhou has been a place of four wars since ancient times, and I don't know how many major wars have taken place, so you can often find weapons left behind after the war in this area.

"As the saying goes, the sword is given to the hero, and I will give the old horse of this gun to Lord Wang." The old horse said suddenly.

"Give it to me?" Wang Cheng was stunned.

He and Lao Ma have only met twice, and he can count what he says on his fingers, so he will give himself such a tiger head Zhan golden gun at least the spirit weapon level?

"Not bad!" The old horse nodded.

Wang Cheng asked, "Why?" ”

Lao Ma said solemnly: "Lao Ma, I have been traveling south and north for so many years, and I have seen too many people of all kinds, and I have never seen such a face as Lord Wang. ”

He stared at Wang Cheng with a pair of eyes and said, "It's unspeakably expensive! It's really expensive! ”

After Wang Cheng heard this, goosebumps were about to rise all over his body, this guy wouldn't be treating himself as a horse, right?

As if he had seen through what Wang Cheng was thinking, Lao Ma smiled: "Actually, Xiangren and Xiangma have a lot in common. Lord Wang's breath is strong, and his every move is like a mountain. If Lao Ma's prediction is good, Lord Wang's qi and blood will definitely reach the realm of Dacheng, maybe ......"

He glanced at Wang Cheng and said meaningfully: "Maybe you have reached the legendary consummation of qi and blood." ”

Wang Cheng's expression changed slightly, he made a move in front of the old horse, and this person actually saw through his reality.

"Matou Town, no, the entire Yinshan County is too small, it seems that Lord Wang's hidden dragon is not enough for you to churn, and Lord Wang will definitely swim above the Nine Heavens in the future."

Lao Ma's tone suddenly became extremely respectful, and he said complicatedly: "Others only see how beautiful my horse will be, but only I know that my wealth is like a rootless ping." Once a powerful person takes a fancy to it, I can only fart and serve it with both hands. ”

Wang Cheng understood that the emotional old horse was looking for a backer, and this tiger head Zhan golden gun was a salute.

What puzzled him was that Lao Ma had been wandering for so many years, and it was impossible not to have friends with some officials.

Horses have always been strictly controlled by various countries, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is even stricter on horses, and almost every horse must know the provenance, and selling horses is not something that ordinary people can sell.

"Actually, Lao Ma is indeed attached to a powerful person, I wonder if Lord Wang can know the former Zhenxi general General Gu?" Old Horse Road.

"You mean Gu Yanzhang, Old General Gu?" Wang Cheng thought of the old general who had been recuperating in Lingzhou for a long time.

Old Ma nodded and said, "Old General Gu has been unarmored for many years, and his influence in the army is getting weaker and weaker. In a few years, I will have to find another backer. ”

Wang Cheng understood, people have been disarming for almost ten years, and those subordinates have also been transferred, and those who have voted for others have voted for others, and the influence in the army has naturally been weakened.

"Although Lord Wang is now only a military commander leading thousands of troops, Lao Ma believes that it will not be long before Lord Wang will be able to rise to the top and become a famous general in my Great Zhou!" Old Horse Road.

Wang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Okay! I'll take your tiger head and golden gun! ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" The old horse was overjoyed.

Wang Cheng hurriedly held the old horse who was about to salute him, and said: "I don't like red tape very much, and I don't like the way the main family is a guest, since Boss Ma looks up to me so much, just call me Wang Cheng." ”

"Good! The old horse will be held up and called the adult "brother". Old Ma said happily.

Wang Cheng nodded, then walked towards the tiger-headed Zhan golden gun, and grabbed the barrel of the gun.

"Huh?"

Wang Cheng's expression changed, the weight of this gun was not light, it was almost close to two thousand catties.

"This gun Lao Ma once let the martial artists at home try it, and if he can pick it up, he can't use it." Old Horse Road.

Wang Cheng used the force of his palm, pulled the spear out of the shelf, and with a wave of his hand, a sound of breaking wind and a soft sound resounded throughout the arsenal.

"What a good gun!"

Wang Cheng couldn't put it down, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and that kind of love was beyond words.

The two then chatted a few words and left the room.

In the empty manor, a group of soldiers sat together in groups of three or five, gnawing on their legs and drinking soup, which was very comfortable.

Wang Cheng nodded secretly and said, "Old Ma, you are well-connected, can you get a large amount of beef and mutton?" ”

"Massive?"

Lao Ma was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, pulled Wang Cheng aside, and whispered: "Brother Wang, do you want a large amount of beef and mutton for your subordinates?" ”

Seeing Wang Cheng nodding, Lao Ma opened his mouth and said, "Brother Wang, this is thousands of mouths, open to eat, I don't know how many cows and sheep can be eaten in a day, this is not a small amount!" ”

The soldiers eat a lot of food, and one sheep is not enough for four people, and a thousand people mean at least two hundred and fifty sheep, and even if they are eaten only ten times a month, that is two thousand five hundred.

With the purchasing power of today's copper coins, a sheep costs a thousand yuan, which is converted into one tael of silver, so a month of sheep alone costs two thousand five hundred taels.

"Don't worry about money, I'm not short of money, and I'm not interested in money."

Wang Cheng waved his hand, took out a golden ticket for acceptance of Chase Money from his arms, and handed it to Lao Ma.

Lao Ma took it and looked at it, and what was written on the acceptance gold ticket was one thousand taels of gold.

What a man who is not bad for money!

However, Lao Ma still said: "It's nothing to have a private banquet for these subordinates once or twice, if you ...... for a long time This is a taboo in the army! ”

Wang Cheng couldn't help but change his expression, he knew the meaning of Lao Ma's words.

The soldier eats the food of the imperial court, if he is a private person to support this group of subordinates, what kind of reason is it?

Is this your private army?

If this matter is known to other hostile colleagues, as long as a few words are passed on to the outside world, I am afraid that it will not be long before his head will move.

Wang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Old horse, how do you deal with the internal organs of cattle and sheep here?" Anyone wants it? ”

"You mean those? What is this thing for? They were all pulled out on the spot and buried. "Old Horse Road.

Wang Cheng's eyes lit up, and sure enough, as he thought, people here don't like to eat "water".

"Can you get me some? No! It's as much as you want! Wang Cheng said.

"It's easy! My old horse has a good reputation in Matou Town, and there are more people who sell beef and mutton. ”

Lao Ma looked at Wang Cheng with a puzzled look on his face, and said, "Do you really want those cheap things that no one wants?" ”

Wang Cheng nodded and said, "How many you want!" I'll let my paperwork connect with you! ”

Just as he was saying this, Chen Jia rode into the manor, came to Wang Cheng's approach, and jumped off the horse.

He looked panicked and said, "My lord, hurry! Get back to camp! ”
