When he arrived at the venue, Lu Zhong greeted everyone and thanked Niu Er. In the time that Lu Zhong and his entourage were leaving, the villagers had already packed up a few thatched huts for the business trip to spend the night. After Lu Zhong returned, the villagers asked for resettlement, and led the group to the accommodation to rest. When saying goodbye, Lu Zhong deliberately asked the villagers: "The kid is stupid, he almost doesn't know the way home under the moonlight, but fortunately he was rescued by Brother Niu and Brother Ma." The old man said: "If you are not alone, there are those who believe in this for a long time, and they also mistakenly follow other ways." The way of my hometown, slightly twisted and turned, is rare in the surrounding townships. It can be the law. Lu Zhong led the lesson and thanked him.

The few straw huts that were cleaned up were around the granary, apparently for storing straw. Just after the autumn harvest, the indoor straw pile is full, and everyone is satisfied: it won't be too cold tonight. It is roughly divided, two for the martial arts, two for the Tang family, and two for the Lu family and the princes. Agree on the night watchman, and everyone returns to the room, and lies down on the straw at will. After a day of walking, many people are sleepy, and not long after lying down, most of them fall asleep.

The Lu brothers lived in the same thatched house with Zheng Anping and Su Bo'an. Zheng Anping and Su Bo'an were close to the door, and the Lu brothers were inside. After a while, they each lay down. Zheng and Xu were not familiar with each other, whispered gossip for a while, and went to sleep separately. The Lu brothers seemed to have endless words, and the two of them kept chirping and cooing.

It wasn't until he heard a slight snoring from Zheng and Xu that Lu Zhong whispered to Lu Bo: "Brother Yiwu, who did you meet?" Father! ”

Lu Bo was also taken aback and said, "How do you know? ”

Lu Zhong said: "His people have heirlooms. ”

Lu Bodao: "Yu Jue was lost in Puyang, and it has been three generations. Although we have heard of it, we have not seen it, and we know that it is a family heirloom. ”

Lu Zhong said: "No matter what the other is, the shape is like clotted fat but it is not fake, just this is to know the extraordinary." ”

Lu Bo said: "What's the color? ”

Lu Zhong said: "The moon is not distinct, but it is white jade, neither green nor green. ”

Lu Bo said: "Although the white jade is Xi, it is the most difficult to determine. ”

Lu Zhong said: "There is even more strange thing: Shang's father wants to exchange gold for money......"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Bo said, "What do you mean?" ”

Lu Zhong said: "It is inconvenient to use gold for grain in the countryside, so it is better to exchange it into copper coins and use it cheaply." He looked at Lu Bo and saw that he was listening carefully, so he said: "I said that the four gold I carried, all of which were paid to Brother Bai, and there was no money left with me." Shang's father still didn't allow it. Take out a skin bag inside, the workmanship is extremely fine, the front and back are full, the hand is extremely heavy, and it can be put on the head and does not hinder the action. …… But unexpectedly, it was mixed with tin and lead......"

Lu Bo was shocked and said, "How do you know? ”

Lu Zhong said: "I don't know it, but my father told me." ”

Lu Bodao: "What do you mean? ”

Lu Zhong carefully recalled: "Father Shang's first words, one piece of gold, five thousand dollars - it is indeed the current price. Seeing that there was no gold around me, I said that I would give 3,000 in advance for use at night; More than 2,000, and trade with gold cakes every day. Before I could say anything, my father took out the skin bag in the back house, which was very heavy, and asked me to help. After entering the cabinet, I was ordered to take off my shirt and put the leather bag on my neck—it was also light, and if I put my shirt ready, I would be able to move without hindrance. I saw that this skin was very good, and it was difficult to achieve it without a thousand dollars, so I didn't dare to accept it...... Shang's father suddenly said that there is really lead and tin in the bag, and if I take it, it will be put into the gu--really praised. I didn't know the depths, I didn't dare to continue, and hurriedly dismissed. ”

Lu Bo listened silently without interrupting. Seeing that Lu Zhong finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and said: "Father Shang has not been born for a long time, and now he suddenly appears, it is difficult to know whether it is true or false; It is not only set up in the dark trap, but also re-picked, as if it is a post-school student, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. But I can treat each other with courtesy. Between transactions, it is important to be clear with your hands and feet. ”

Lu Zhong said: "What my uncle taught. Although it is difficult to distinguish the truth of the younger brother Sishang's father, his words are desirable: if the mercenary car is grain, gold is not as good as copper. ”

Lu Bo said: "Uncle Tang and Brother Zheng have returned early, and they have already said what they have said. Bai's plan, although slightly exaggerated, is still in the price, and can be planned according to the discussion. ”

Lu Zhong said: "How much can you get food in this town?" How much money? ”

Lu Bo said: "I discussed with the elders here, and decided to pay 300 yuan per household to pay for the spring and autumn sacrifice." Yi Zhongfu twenty-three, or grain or car, to be its straight. We will give the elders a gold and a half, and the elders will go to each house to prepare for it, and they will receive it tomorrow. ”

Lu Zhong said: "What's the price?" ”

Lu Bo said: "Three hundred dollars per household, nine stones of direct grain - although it is overflowing at the current price, where Brother Ma is, the branch should be." If you go out of the car one, even the emperor, half a stone a day, ten days, five stones. If there is still injustice, the emperor shall bring his own three-day ration. ”

Lu Zhong said: "Can you get a grain cart one day?" ”

Lu Bo said: "This matter can be done overnight, and let's see what happens tomorrow night." ”

Lu Zhong said: "Go to the city captain, does the uncle have a plan?" ”

Lu Bo said: "It's nothing more than a banquet, giving money, and worshipping manuals." Listen to all of you. ”

Lu Zhong said: "We don't have more than ten gold. That is, Huayang Lieutenant, not two gold, the mercenary car has passed the hardware, and it is not yet safe. The cost along the way is not yet included, and it may be difficult to support. ”

Lu Bo said: "This trip is not for money, but for the affairs of the military." But the prince and the prince are harmonious, and the interests are few! With only more than ten gold, what's the difference? ”

Lu Zhong said: "My brother doesn't dare to make profits, but I'm afraid of things." ”

Lu Bo said: "Harmonious! I'm not going to Zhengguo, but I'm on the way, so what's the worry! ”

Lu Zhong said: "Brother has learned a lesson. ”

The discussion was set, drowsiness struck, and the two fell asleep.

The rooster crowed all over the day, and Zheng Anping woke up naturally. Sitting up and tidying up his clothes a little, Su Bo'an whispered on the side: "Brother Zheng sleep peacefully!" Zheng Anping replied: "Brother must sleep peacefully!" ”

Su Bo'an said: "There is enough water at night, but you need a little relief. ”

Zheng Anping said: "So do I. ”

The two jumped off the haystack, pushed open the door, closed it casually, and walked out. The guards on patrol knew each other and greeted each other. The two went out to the sidelines and solved the problem next to a small tree. Zheng Anping shook his arm, felt that the pain in his chest had basically disappeared, and his heart was refreshed, so he pulled away and made a few moves. Su Bo'an cheered on the side: "Brother Zheng is fierce and heavy, what a good martial art!" ”

Zheng Anping retracted his momentum and said with a smile: "I have been injured for many days, and I have not been able to move, so I will move my muscles and ears a little now!" ”

Su Bo'an said: "What Brother Zheng has learned is very different from his brother, and there must be something else!" ”

Zheng Anping said: "Who is the brother who learns? ”

Su Bo'an said: "But I learned from Xuan Xu'er. ”

Zheng Anping said: "The younger brother also learned in the Xuan order, grew into the martial arts, and learned from the school. ”

Su Bo'an said: "What's the difference? ”

Zheng Anping said: "Learn from the order, learn etiquette, respect and humility, and know how to advance and retreat; Accustomed to the school field, life and death are also breathing. ”

Su Bo'an said: "Brother is hurt, dare to do it for the Qin people?" ”

Zheng Anping said: "Yes and no. This injury originated from Qin Jian, but it was not done before the battle. There are assassins who want to assassinate their sons, and the ministers are suitable for their ears. ”

Su Bo'an was speechless and said: "Brother saves his son with his body, what a great achievement!" ”
