Chapter 104: Gangneung, It's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
The ancients were also brand conscious!
It's just that the brand consciousness of the ancients did not refer to a certain "trademark", but to a certain name.
For example, "made by Luban", and then for example... Now in the ears of Guan Yu and Ma Liang, they heard this "Huang Lao Evil Creation"!
Ma Liang glanced at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu understood, waved his hand, and ordered Guan Xing and Guan Yinping.
"Shall you all go down?"
"Yes!" Guan Yinping and Guan Xing performed a farewell etiquette and walked out of the room quickly.
For a while, only Guan Yu and Ma Liang were left in this study.
Ma Liang checked the window and made sure that it was tightly fitted before sitting back on the bamboo mat and meeting Guan Yu's eager gaze.
Guan Yu sighed with emotion: "First Hong Qigong, then Huang Laoxi, when did Jingzhou produce so many masters from outside the world?" ”
Don't blame him for his emotion.
Hong Qigong, who has never heard of Hong Qigong, who has never seen of the mountain and leaks before, can be said to be a little tricky... It caused turmoil in the entire Jingzhou and Eastern Wu.
Twists and turns...
Until the last moment, it was impossible to judge whether this Hong Qigong was friend or foe.
And then, now this Hong Qigong has established a "beggar gang"...
Because Zhuyu is in front, Guan Yu and Ma Liang are turning a blind eye...
But after all, I am very curious about the mysterious identity of this "Hong Qigong"!
Zhuyu is in the front, and now there is another "Huang Laoxi", Guan Yu will inevitably be more emotional, and even sigh in his heart.
Speaking of which, Guan Yu was originally arrogant.
There are only two people he admires, the eldest brother and Zhuge Kongming, and if you add the extra Lu Zijing recently, it can be counted as half...
At best, it's two and a half.
But recently, the situation in Jingzhou has changed, and the mysterious "Hong Qigong", he seems to have controlled the situation here with just a slight move...
How could Guan Yu not admire him?
What's more, now there is another "Huang Laoxi".
Before anyone arrived, the ingenious "repeating crossbow" designed by him, the "wooden oxen and flowing horses" for transporting grain and grass, and the "partial van" for cavalry nemesis had already won enough eyeballs.
This is also a "youkai".
For a moment, Guan Yu felt that he was still arrogant with a hammer?
He's a caterpillar, huh?
This Jingzhou Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, how many people have the ability? It's his turn to be proud of Guan Yu? Is it his turn to be conceited?
Inexplicably, because of a Hong Qigong and a Huang Laoxi, Guan Yu's mood has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Maleonn noticed the changes...
Indeed, more than ever, in recent times... Guan Gong's domineering has dissipated too much.
I'm afraid that because of this old yellow evil, I am afraid that the dissipation of this domineering spirit will continue.
"Guan Gong, this old yellow evil... Although it is only made into ordnance, it does not show mountains and does not leak, but we must not take it lightly. ”
Ma Liang said with emotion. "Mozi Gong Lose" records that the Gong Loss Plate is a machine for Chu to build a cloud ladder, and it will be used to attack the Song Dynasty. "Huainanzi" cloud - Luban is like a public loser, and so are the Chu people. He is a skillful man of the Son of Heaven, who can make a ladder to the clouds. ”
Ma Liang spoke in detail.
From the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States Period, Lu Ban was born, and his invention changed the pattern of the entire Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. ”
"The 'wood magpie' he invented that flew for three days without landing... It is still a legend in the market, and it is impossible to imagine what effect this 'wood magpie' will have if it can be put into the battlefield? This is also why the three words 'Luban made' are well-known! ”
"When it comes to Luban, whether it is a prince or a general, or a person from Xiariba, everyone is full of admiration! Won't his story, his invention, be passed down for thousands of years? ”
Ma Liang's implication is to make Guan Yu pay attention to this "Huang Lao Evil"!
The power of "craftsmen" must not be underestimated.
Call...
Guan Yu exhaled softly, in fact, Ma Liang's words were too much.
Having witnessed the magic of the "partial car", how could Guan Yu not look sideways at this "Huang Laoxi"?
Guan Mou read "Spring and Autumn", which also talked about Lu Ban building a cloud ladder to help Chu attack the Song Dynasty! And Mozi loved non-aggression and wanted to stop this war, so Mozi and Lu Ban launched an offensive and defensive battle in the palace of Chu with clothes and belts as the city and bamboo pieces as tools. ”
"In the end, Lu Ban's siege equipment was exhausted, and Mozi's siege equipment was still endless, Lu Ban was convinced, and the king of Chu also gave up attacking Song!"
Guan Yu said eloquently: "Mozi and Lu Ban were both strange keats in the world at that time, and it can also be seen from this 'offensive and defensive battle' of the Chu Palace, that the energy of these outstanding craftsmen cannot be ignored." ”
As Guan Yu said, to this day, the ladder used in the siege will still be engraved with "Luban made", which commemorates the ancestor of the "construction industry".
Because of this...
The four words "Huang Lao's evil creation" made Guan Yu and Ma Liang's hearts throb again and again.
Merely... There is too little information about this "Huang Laoxi" who has just surfaced, except for... What Mi Fang mentioned, from Jiaozhou... Except for the "Shi Huolong" and "You Tanzhi", I don't know anything else.
That's when ...
"I have something important to report to the general..."
A heavy voice came from the front of the door, it was Zhou Cang.
When Guan Jiajun, who was standing outside the door, saw Zhou Cang, they got out of the way, and Zhou Cang strode into the study.
Guan Yu and Ma Liang raised their heads and looked at Zhou Cang.
At this time, Zhou Cang was already anxious to open his mouth: "Find out, on the order of Guan Gong, these Jiaozhou businessmen are not from Jiaozhou at all, that Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi are both northerners, and the origin of these ordnance he brought has nothing to do with Najiaozhou, these ordnance are all produced in our Jiangling!" ”
- Gangneung.
- The ordnance is made in Gangneung!
As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu and Ma Liang were shocked.
They looked at Zhou Cang incredulously...
It's as if this information came so unexpectedly... However, it is just right.
"What does General Zhou mean?"
Ma Liang hurriedly asked.
Zhou Cang took out an account book from his bosom and handed it to Guan Yu while saying: "Through the visit to the market, some people have recently bought timber and stone in Jiangling City, and they have also purchased military materials such as iron and iron in the black market. Exactly..."
Zhou Cang aggravated his tone.
- "It's a mountain villa on the outskirts of our Gangneung City!" ”
- "And there have been many workshops recently, and according to the people in the neighborhood, for several days... These workshops are busy day and night! What else could they be doing besides rushing to make these ordnance? ”
…
…
In the backyard of the "Changxin" restaurant, the breeze blew a few strands of Sun Ru's scattered hair.
Sun Ru and You Tanzhi stood face to face.
Just now, You Tanzhi asked Sun Ru which way he was a friend.
And Sun Ru, who has been specially taught by Lu Xun, now knows a lot about the rules of "reselling arms".
She said frankly: "There are rules that guests don't ask the Lord, but if the guests have a request, the Lord shouldn't ask the Lord!" After all, this kind of thing, many people don't want others to know. ”
"That being the case, then there is no need to talk about it, this batch of goods, the fourth son has already decided." You Tan looked like he was rejecting people for thousands of miles, and he was about to leave.
Sun Ru didn't panic at all, "If Your Excellency's purpose is to sell to the fourth prince, then why bother to be so public?" Although there are many people who visit the thief Cao Pengfu, they are far from being unranked... Isn't your move just taking the opportunity of Guan Lin, the fourth son of Guan Lin, to give a lecture to show this ordnance, sell it for Juqi, and sell it at a high price? It's all a thousand-year-old fox, so don't pretend to be any more, right? ”
Sun Ru's sharp language did not give You Tanzhi the slightest room to breathe.
You Tanzhi paused, and with his experience, he asked, "The girl is a Jiangnan woman!" Behind that girl is the lord of Dongwu? ”
Sun Ru's appearance is the appearance of an iconic Jiangnan woman...
But under her well-behaved and light appearance, she is resolute in her heart!
"Your Excellency, don't continue to ask, the little girl won't say." Sun Ruyun waved his hand lightly.
"Hehe..."You Tanzhi smiled this time, he looked at Sun Ru with interest, and then... Sitting on a side car, "Interesting, then tell me, how much do you plan to make?" ”
"Then it depends on how many goods your Excellency has!"
"There are 200 partial vans, 1,000 crossbows, more than 10,000 crossbows, and fewer wooden oxen and horses, 100 cars!" You Tanzhi didn't hide it, he said truthfully.
This one...
Sun Ru's eyes rolled, she groaned slightly, and then stretched out her hand and gestured two fingers.
It's like quoting a price!
"20,000 grains?" You Tan was stunned, he didn't expect the other party's offer to be so low..."You woman is insincere, is such a little money a way to eat, I think... There's no need for us to continue talking. ”
You Tanzhi turned around and was about to leave.
Who would have thought that Sun Ru shouted to You Tanzhi, her eyes looked at her two fingers: "Who told you that this is 20,000 Hu?" ”
At this time, You Tan was stunned.
"Two hundred thousand Hu?"
In this era, because the value of coins was too fast, in addition to gold for trading, more barter, and grain and cloth were the most accessible hard currency.
Therefore, You Tan subconsciously linked the other party's fingers with the quantity of grain.
It's just that, even so, 200,000 Hu... There are also some too many, and this amount is enough to harvest Jingnan grain for a whole year.
But...
You Tanzhi asked in surprise, "Is it really 200,000 Hu?" ”
In response, Sun Ru waved his hand gently.
"It's not!"
"You're fooling me!"
"How dare the little girl?" Sun Ru's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said the true meaning of these two fingers shallowly: "Twice, no matter how much Guan Lin will come out tomorrow, I will give twice as much here!" ”
This...
You Tanzhi's eyes couldn't help but condense.
This offer is indeed very tempting, even more tempting than the illusory 200,000 Hu!
The moonlight is bright, and in the backyard is You Tanzhi's meaningful gaze...
It was Sun Ru's expectant eyes.
But on the wall in the backyard, a beggar was holding a pen and scribbling something on a crumpled piece of paper.
It was as if he had recorded everything that happened in the bright moonlight.
…
…
At the entrance of the underground wine shop of Baojia Winery, many beggars are guarding here.
Seeing that the Eight Bags Elder Lu had feet, they saluted one after another, and their movements were chaotic, and they looked like a group of rabble.
But Lu Youjiao didn't mind, his expression was sharp and solemn, and he strode into the cellar.
A beggar lowered his voice and shouted, "Elder Lu is here, Elder Lu is here..."
It seemed that he wanted to use this voice to remind all the beggars waiting here.
Lu Youyou sat still, and the shelf in front of him was already full of crumpled papers, on which were images like "ghost drawings".
A beggar brought a bowl of water, and Lu Youzu drank it all.
"Don't be stunned, Hong Qigong and his old man are still waiting for news from our side, come... If you have something, say it, hurry up! ”
As soon as this statement came out...
A beggar took the lead and said: "As soon as the excitement of the Victory Bridge dispersed, our Mi Fang Mi Taishou of Jiangling City sent an invitation and invited Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi to the banquet, You Tanzhi postponed, and Shi Huolong went to the banquet. ”
As he spoke, the beggar unfolded a crumpled piece of paper on the table, drawing a mess of tillery, but... Looking closely, there is Mi Fang and Shi Huolong walking into the Red Pavilion of the Qinglou together.
The second beggar continued: "It has been found that a woman has infiltrated the 'Changxin' restaurant..."
He also unfolded the crumpled paper, on which was the picture of You Tanzhi rushing downstairs, and the woman standing in front of the wooden ox and flowing horse waiting for him.
Next was the third beggar, who opened his mouth and said, "Just now, Shi Huolong just came out of the Red Pavilion, and bumped into a thirty-year-old boy who was richly dressed, and that boy was extremely arrogant... With an apologetic face, he not only took out a bag of five baht money and handed it to Shi Huolong to make amends, but also dragged Shi Huolong to a wine shop next door, saying that he was going to hold a banquet for his crimes. ”
The third beggar said that this had just happened.
Therefore, before I had time to draw the picture, I submitted it directly.
- "Obedient..."
Hearing this, Lu You's eyebrows rose suddenly.
He couldn't help but whisper to himself: "This special mother has three waves of people in one night!" ”
Thinking of this, he hurriedly ordered, "Hong Qigong, what his old man ordered, have you forgotten?" ”
"Nope!"
A handful of beggars answered in unison.
Lu Youjiao reminded repeatedly: "Hong Qigong, what the old man said, whoever tries to contact Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi today, our brothers have to keep up, staring day and night... See what they do throughout the day, meet whom, and find ways to find out who they really are. ”
"Yes, yes..."
The beggars agreed, and they all planned to retreat.
Lu Youjiao hurriedly reminded: "Pay attention, don't let these people find out... This is the first time that our beggars have done something big, and they all give me a lift. ”
Needless to say, these beggars are full of energy...
Since they entered the beggar gang, they have been able to eat enough and wear warm clothes, and they are grateful to "Hong Qigong" from the bottom of their hearts, and they are waiting to do things for "Hong Qigong" and his old man!
It is for this reason that no one dares to slack off in this operation.
But Lu has feet.
Stay... After the beggars had left, his eyes rolled, and he muttered:
"The fourth prince said, so... In this way, you can find out the spies of the enemy country? Really? ”
"The people on these pictures, are they... Are they all spies of enemy countries? ”
Lu Youjiao didn't understand, scratched his head, and simply didn't go deep into it, he patted the dust on his body, the top priority... I have to report this matter to the fourth prince first.
While walking out, Lu Youjiao muttered over and over again, "What... Why is that all? It's only the first day! ”
Oh, yes...
He originally thought that no one would necessarily contact Shi Huolong and them privately.
But now it seems...
Not only the connection, they are simply the gunmen!
Hey... Lu Youjiao still scratched his head, a little unconvinced...
- "Is there really so many spies in this Gangneung City?"
