He stood patiently for a long time, and after a quarter of an hour, Mr. Zheng closed the field. But there were still people who surrounded him and asked questions, and he had to follow along.

When the group of people also dispersed, Mr. Zheng gathered the money basket and formed a small baggage, and squeezed out of the crowd while giving up his hands again and again.

Li Bochen led his horse to follow him, and saw him slowly walking down the street while shaking a fan, and finally entered a restaurant. He complained bitterly in his heart, and secretly said that this person still wants to say another thing? Fortunately, Mr. Zheng just found a table to sit on, ordered a few kinds of wine and food, and poured himself a drink.

He breathed a sigh of relief, tied his horse outside the restaurant, walked in, and sat down opposite Mr. Zheng.

There are still a few tables in the restaurant, but there are not no empty tables. Mr. Zheng was stunned and looked up at him, but he didn't speak, only smiled and drank slowly.

Li Bochen said: "Mr. Zheng, I heard you talk about the book just now, and you said it very well. ”

Mr. Zheng only raised the wine cup to him.

Li Bochen said loudly again: "Man, let's have three more good dishes, look at them." ”

The man answered from afar. Mr. Zheng put down the wine cup and said, "Slow." This official, Zheng has no merit and is not punished, what is the matter?"

Li Bochen said: "I just heard you say that Lin Xijun was assassinated, and I was a little curious - how did you know about this?"

Mr. Zheng stared at him and said, "Oh...... Are you from the government? Official, you can't take care of this, can you?"

Li Bochen said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng misunderstood, I'm just a cloth cloth, just curious." ”

Mr. Zheng didn't know what to think, and said slowly, "Oh. This is our book business. Naturally, I heard it from others. ”

Li Bochen was stunned, what is that? But then he came to his senses. There are pig sellers, there are charcoal sellers, and these storytellers also have book shops, right?

It's a world where transportation is inaccessible and messaging is slow. If these storytellers want to say something new, they naturally have to communicate with each other. It's really interesting.

He said he heard it from someone else...... So did the storyteller in Linxi know about this, and the news slowly spread? If this is the case, the news will be more reliable.

Li Bochen changed his mind again, thinking that when he was in Jinghui Building, Ye Lu lobbied himself first, because he felt that he was weak and the easiest to succeed. But he was killed by himself, and his accomplice should know his resolute attitude.

According to Ye Lu's words, the accomplice came to Mengjiatun first, intending to use the Chang family to blackmail him. Did you learn of Ye Lu's death later and realize that she couldn't use it?

So he turned to lobby Linxijun?

That person should know that he has Beichen luck, will he tell Lin Xijun about this? But then I thought, no, it won't. The reason why Linxi Jun has never been able to recover Li Realm is because he is not the Spirit Lord of Beichen.

If Ye Lu's accomplices had told Linxijun who Beichen's luck was, wouldn't it have helped him a lot? If Linxijun had been "decisive in killing" and killed himself, his luck would naturally fall on him. That way, he'll be even more difficult to control!

If you look at it this way, those people don't dare to kill themselves for the time being.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little lucky—didn't this mean that in Mengjiatun, there was no longer that enemy who didn't know where to hide?

Then what he had to do would be much easier, just concentrate on finding that cave ruin!

Thinking of this, he finally felt a little happier and said, "Mr. Zheng, thank you." ”

Mr. Zheng didn't know why he suddenly thanked him, but he only nodded and smiled: "No thanks." ”

At this time, the guy served the food, and Li Bochen took out more than a dozen big coins and put them on the table, and said, "Mr. Zheng, use it slowly." ”

He was about to get up and leave, but Mr. Zheng said, "Slow." ”

Stretched out his hand and pushed the money: "I said, if you don't have any merit, I don't want you to invite it." ”

Li Bochen was stunned, he didn't expect this person to be so stylish when he didn't tell stories. In this case, he was happy to do so, and he planned to take the money back. But just as he was about to stretch out his hand, a thought popped up, so he sat down again and said, "Mr. Zheng, do you make money by telling stories?"

Mr. Zheng sighed, paused the wine cup lightly on the table, and frowned slightly: "What are you going to do?

He looked at him again: "Your Excellency's wealth, you don't need to do this business, right?"

Li Bochen smiled secretly, and said in his heart, I'm afraid you don't know that my current net worth is in this dress. But he still said: "That's the case, although I heard Mr. say it well just now, it seems that everyone is tired of hearing the story." I can also talk about the interesting story of Lin Xijun's assassination, but this kind of thing doesn't happen every day. ”

Mr. Zheng looked at him and smiled: "Oh?

Li Bochen said: "Gao Jian doesn't have it, but there is a set of books, if Mr. is interested, I can tell you a paragraph." ”

Mr. Zheng showed some sarcasm on his face, but he only said: "Your Excellency, storytelling is not storytelling. ”

Li Bochen also understands this. Everyone knows how to tell a story, but storytelling is different. The buckle of the beam and the pen are very particular. This person should feel that he is very self-conscious, but in the end, he also has some self-cultivation and did not say it directly.

He smiled and said: "The three emperors and five emperors of morality, the fame of Xiahou Shangzhou, the eight tyrants and the seven heroes make trouble in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they rise and fall in an instant. There are a few lines of names and surnames in the history, and there are countless barren hills in the north, where the predecessors sowed seeds and the later people reaped them, it is nothing more than a dragon fight and a tiger fight!"

"During the reign of Renzong, the son of heaven in the Great Song Dynasty, the country and the people were safe, and all the people were happy-" [Note 1]

When he spoke, Mr. Zheng drank another glass of wine, and when he read the final poem, although there was some surprise in his eyes, his face was not moved. After he said a little more, his face slowly became solemn, and he glanced at Li Bochen a few more times.

Li Bochen thought it was funny, but he said it seriously. He remembered this set of books very well. There was no fun to find when I came from, and this set of books was repeated and listened to many times, and it can be called a stream of memorization. He slowly finished the first lecture halfway through, and it only took a quarter of an hour before he stopped.

At this time, Mr. Zheng pinched the wine cup and frowned, and when he saw that he had stopped, he asked, "What about the future?

Li Bochen said: "It's half a time." What do you think of my book, sir?"

Mr. Zheng pondered for a while and said, "Just listen to these, it's not bad." ”

Then he shouted, "Man, add another pot of wine!"

took a wine cup and poured it, handed it to Li Bochen, and said with a straight face: "Zheng Mou has no beads, but I didn't expect that Your Excellency is also a fellow practitioner - in Zheng Zhao, what do you call Your Excellency?"

Li Bochen said: "Under Chen Boli." ”

"Mr. Chen is also in the bookstore?"

Li Bochen smiled: "I don't have that ability." In fact, this book is not mine, but by a Mr. Shan. I heard it, so I wrote it down. ”

Zheng Zhao was a little disappointed and said, "Oh, I see. Mr. Shan...... What is the name, and where is it now?"

Li Bochen said: "Mr. Shan has passed away. ”

He confessed in his heart and said, "But he entrusted this book to me before." ”

Zheng Zhao's eyes were happy again, and he pondered for a while, and said, "Mr. Chen, I also have a teacher, and my family teacher is also alive." Your book is good, but it's ......."

Li Bochen said: "Mr. Zheng misunderstood, if you like this set of books, I can sell them to you." ”

Zheng Zhao was stunned and frowned: "I'm afraid this thing is inappropriate, right?"

Li Bochen said: "That Mr. Shan is a recluse. I got his book, and naturally I didn't want to bury it. But I'm not in the book business, and I don't have any plans to do that yet. If he follows me into the earth, won't there be another strange book in the world? If Mr. Zheng likes it, he can let this book pass on, and I feel better. ”

He said it in passing, thinking, it's broken. said it so high-soundingly, I'm afraid it's hard to negotiate the price. But when Zheng Zhao heard him say this, he immediately said: "This also makes sense. ”

Li Bochen smiled in his heart and said secretly, Oh...... It turned out that he also wanted this book very much.

He fell silent, and Zheng Zhao also raised the wine cup to him and drank another glass. Li Bochen said that this book was passed on to him by "Mr. Shan", and since it was given by the deceased, it is no longer appropriate to exchange money now, so it is naturally difficult to speak. Zheng Zhao looks very stylish, but he is also a sophisticated person, so he doesn't speak.

Li Bochen sighed, thinking that it would be good if Xiaoman was here. I had to say first: "Mr. Zheng, about this price......

Zheng Zhao said: "What is the name of this book?"

"Three heroes and five righteousness. ”

"Good name. Zhang Zhao pondered for a while and said, "Two thousand dollars." ”

Li Bochen was stunned. It's not that the money is small, but I didn't expect it to be so much. Doubled again, but it's a house - is storytelling so profitable?

Seeing him like this, Zheng Zhao said, "Does Mr. Chen think it's inappropriate? If it's inappropriate, you can discuss it again." ”

Li Bochen said, "Yes, Mr. Zheng." But there are 180 times in this book, and I have to tell you slowly. I'm going out of town in the evening, and we'll talk about the next afternoon, and I'll probably only talk about it a dozen times. ”

Zheng Zhao narrowed his eyes: "One hundred and eighty times? Mr. Chen, are you serious?"

Li Bochen didn't know whether he was too much or too little, so he just said: "Seriously." I remember it all clearly. ”

Zheng Zhao was stunned: "Really...... Odd books. The biggest one I have here is only seventy. That's really inappropriate for those two thousand...... It costs 4,000 dollars anyway. ”

He frowned and thought for a while: "It's okay, Brother Chen, you can also tell me slowly, how much I will pay you as much as I listen, do you think this can be done?"

Li Bochen smiled and said, "Okay." ”

He really hoped that he could really have more contact with Zheng Zhao. This man also seems to be upright, and he gets along with him without annoying people. What's more, a thought came to him for no reason-

Popular support. Because of the people's hearts, Linxi Jun can be like a fish in water in Li Di. But what the people of this world want to know, they either rely on official announcements or word of mouth. Together, the influence of many storytellers like Zheng Zhao can be said to be very great. And the book stores can exchange messages...... Aren't these people "media"?

If only I could get the help of the book line—

He was stunned when he thought of this. I...... Did you never think about really "settling" down?

He smiled bitterly in his heart again, and secretly said that my current identity is impossible. I just hope that this happy day will last a few more days.

At this time, the guy brought the wine, he lifted the man, ate a few more mouthfuls of food, and said, "Mr. Zheng, I'll finish the first time for you." ”

From noon to the second half of the day, I spoke twenty times in two hours. Since he is not telling books, many things are simpler. Zheng Zhao took out a pen and paper and took notes while listening. Li Bochen noticed that he was recording in a strange way, looking at the twists and turns, but writing extremely fast, presumably in a way unique to book shops.

He didn't stop until the sun outside turned golden and the wind picked up again.

Zheng Zhao let out a long breath and said, "I said 'not bad' before, but now I want to say 'excellent'." It's good that Mr. Shan is still alive, and I really want to ask him for advice in person. ”

He said, "Brother Chen, can you give me a rough talk about the next twenty times?"

Li Bochen briefly described the rest of the story.

Zheng Zhao sighed again, and left his seat to salute Li Bochen. Li Bochen hurriedly supported him and said, "What is Mr. Zheng doing?"

Zheng Zhao smiled bitterly: "It's me who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." At first, I thought you were going to take a few times to trick me, but after listening to this, this pattern is naturally a huge production. I believe what Brother Chen said is true. ”

Li Bochen smiled: "After seeing people's hearts for a long time, we still have to deal with more, don't worry." Brother Zheng, in fact, I came to the city to buy a family. It's not early—"

Zheng Zhao hurriedly said: "Oh, good, good. ”

He reached out and took the money bag from the small bag next to him, and counted and counted it. Li Bochen turned his face away and looked at the street.

After a while, Zheng Zhao put a piece of silver collar on the table and said, "I don't have any change here." Brother Chen, today's twenty rounds are four hundred and eighty dollars. The extra five hundred and twenty dollars will be my fixed money. ”

Li Bochen didn't shirk, put away the silver collar, and said, "Thank you." ”

I thought about it again: "I can't say when I will come to Houcheng again." But if you talk about this set of books, you should still have to prepare, and these twenty times are enough for the time being. I live in Mengjiatun, and if Mr. Zheng wants to hear the following these days, he can come there to find me. ”

Zheng Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, this is decided." ”

The two said goodbye. Li Bochen took the money and took the horse and looked for shops along the street to buy. In the end, there were too many things to buy, so I planned to spend a hundred dollars on a wooden car. But I thought that I didn't usually need this thing, so I might as well buy a suitable one, so I added another 300 yuan and simply bought a car with elm varnish.

The people of the car dealer helped him to lasso the horse and instructed him how to catch the car, Li Bochen tried, but he didn't dare to catch up in the city, so he only led him away. After buying all the things, I walked to the door of the Chejin Pavilion again, and saw that the door was closed, maybe the people inside knew that something was wrong.

He sighed inwardly and walked out of the city gate along the street. After walking for a while, the pedestrians gradually disappeared, and the sun slowly disappeared into the distant mountains.

He stopped and said, "Come out." ”
