Yang Zhi came out of Pingxia City, and he probably had a number in his heart, the Song army in the northwest was already in chaos, and the arrogant soldiers were fierce generals, and there was a momentum of giving up who I was with when they fell from above. If there is a war, maybe you can still send your anger on the heads of the Tangut people, but holding it back like this, one by one is either thinking about getting money all day long, or intriguing. It is no wonder that when the Western Army pacified Fangla and went north to Youyan, the 150,000 army could not stop the 9,000 mourning soldiers of the Liao State.

Yang Zhi bought two good horses without imprints from Pingxia City for one hundred taels of silver, and rode one for himself and Li Gon, so that Li Gon opened the way in front and he and the mule cart walked behind. Mao Sixteen said with a smile while driving the mule cart: "Master Yang, you have been to Pingxia City before, I see that you are very familiar with the environment all the way." ”

Mao Sixteen was a stocky man, with an ordinary face that everyone felt familiar with, the horsewhip in his hand hung down in front of the car, Yang Zhi smiled and said, "I came here once when I was fifteen years old. ”

Yang Zhi could only say casually, on the way to come, Yang Zhi found that he was familiar with this area, but he couldn't remember when he came; Memory is not growing with martial arts, according to the knowledge he brought through the crossing, Yang Zhi felt that his memory was closed in some places, perhaps it was an accident suffered when he had an accident at sea.

Mao Sixteen smiled and nodded, not doubting what Yang Zhi said, in his mind, Yang Zhi was a big man, strong in martial arts, and able to do business, he was definitely a person who lived a nourishing life.

Yang Zhi looked back at the mule cart behind him, Kang Qinian and Jian Ru were chatting, Kang Qinian was burly, he had been in Luoyang for seven years, and finally left his job because he couldn't enter the forbidden army, and found an errand in the carriage and horse shop; The two were talking happily, and when they saw Yang Zhi's gaze, Jian Ru hurriedly stood up and asked, "Brother Yang, is there something wrong?"

Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "It's okay, but Jianru, you'd better sleep more in the car during the day, so that you can have the energy to watch the goods at night; ”

Mao Sixteen raised his horsewhip and said with a smile: "No technology, practice makes perfect." ”

There was a sudden whistle in front, and Li Gon had already reined in his horse, only to see Shi Dangdang standing in the middle of the road with a black horse, his bald head swaying in the sun, all sweat; Yang Zhi saw that there was no ambush around, and put his horse forward and asked: "Shi is in charge, is there something or is it a robbery?"

"Something. Shi Dangdang said unequivocally: "Zhuo Da said that he is an acquaintance with you, and the matter of Changping Village is over, let me bring you a sentence, and go to Yunmeng Mountain to have a look when I have time." ”

Zhuo Da is supposed to be a wild dragon Zhuo Li, how can he be an acquaintance with himself, is Yang Zhi really amnesia;But Yunmeng Mountain is in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhuo Li is beyond the reach of the whip, Yang Zhi said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your kindness, Yang Zhixin has received it, and the troublesome stone master will tell Zhuo Da that within a year, Yang Zhi will go to Yunmeng Mountain." ”

"A gentleman's words are hard to chase. Shi Dangdang turned over and got on his horse, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Li Gon and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although the wild dragon Zhuo Li was ferocious, he was definitely the master who did what he said, and there should be nothing to do in the future; as for Yun Mengshan's statement, it was Yang Zhi's private matter, and outsiders couldn't control it.

Yang Zhi returned to Yan'an Mansion, searched in the market for a few days, and finally sold the green salt and the salt contract to Pan Shumin, a salt merchant in Bianliang, according to 100 wen a catty, and the two bargained, and finally discussed, Yang Zhi's salt was exchanged for 40 horses;

The Pan Lou of Yan'an Mansion is the same as Bianliang, the front of the restaurant is the same as the fir wood and silk flowers tied into a tall colorful building, the façade and windows are all decorated with red and green to form the Huan door, and there are decorative branches and six gardenia lamps pasted with gold and red yarn in front of the door. Pan Shumin and Yang Zhi ordered white-cut mutton, steamed fat chicken, braised grass carp, meatballs, and four kinds of vegetables and fresh fruits, and asked for two bottles of Zhihe wine in a wine pavilion upstairs.

Pan Shumin cares about Yang Zhi very much, and the heroes who are famous in the rivers and lakes can get the goods from the side of the planter's road; Yang Zhi values Pan Shumin is the Bianliang people, Yang Chong knows where Pan Shumin's house is, even if something happens, the monk can't run away from the temple. Pan Shumin is a businessman, so he is not wary of Yang Zhi, and he wants to show his ability in front of Yang Zhi; so under Yang Zhi's inquiry, Pan Shumin almost did not hide the private salt business in Yan'an Mansion.

Yang Zhi obtained more than a dozen valuable clues while talking and laughing, including how Cao Qianli's people had an accident, which was very different from the information given by Cao Qianli in Kaifeng; Yang Zhi dared to conclude that there must be something wrong with Cao Qianli's subordinates, otherwise it would be impossible for batch after batch of people to have an accident in just seven months. The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, the more they drank, and in the end, both of them were drunk, Yang Zhi reluctantly got up and staggered down the restaurant.

Yang Zhi returned to the inn, was carried back to the room by Li Gon, and immediately stood up straight, his eyes were clear and focused, and there was no sign of drunkenness, Yang Zhi said to Li Gon: "Pan Shumin is definitely not drunk, he is pretending to be the same as me, so I didn't go to the counter to pay, just to hide that I drank too much." Be smart at night and pay attention to what's going on outside, but don't act rashly, even if a guest comes, listen to my signal before making a move. ”

Li Gon understood as soon as he heard it: "Are you afraid that someone will just check according to the usual practice, and if we hurt someone, we won't be able to leave Yan'an Mansion." ”

Yang Zhi said: "The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and there is a sea of people who are bigger than us, and this time we are here to do business." ”

Yang Zhi was already sure that Pan Shumin was Tong Guan's person, and revealing so much news to himself should actually be a temptation, Pan Shumin didn't seem to be able to speak, but it was definitely an illusion, because after Yang Zhi went out, he heard Pan Shumin's breathing becoming short. Li Gon went back to his room next door, and Yang Zhi soon lay down on the bed with an even breathing sound.
