Chapter 194: Unexpected news
Entering the border city, Li Wenjie said: "Let's go, let's go down to the city below to rest for a day." ”
Li Wenjie took advantage of the fact that it was still before dawn to find a remote place to let the birds land, and they waited until dawn before they went out of the city to find an inn to live in.
After General Xia dealt with last night's loss, he walked to the camp outside the Saiwai, met Patriarch Xiao and said, "Patriarch Xiao, you should know about last night's incident, right?" Patriarch Xiao nodded in response, and motioned to General Xia with his hand to continue, General Xia said: "This breath, we can't swallow it in the western suburbs." ”
Patriarch Xiao said, "What is General Xia going to do?"
General Xia said: "I plan to send twenty elders to infiltrate Zitian Peak and destroy Tianfu Village, but there are masters of the Qin Kingdom guarding outside the pass, and I hope Patriarch Xiao can help us." ”
Patriarch Xiao said, "What do you want us to do?"
General Xia said: "Our two armies will make a joint feint and let the elders in my western suburbs infiltrate. ”
Patriarch Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, when will it start?"
General Xia said: "It's convenient to act at night, so let's do it tonight." ”
Patriarch Xiao said, "Okay, I'll immediately order to go down and prepare." ”
Li Wenjie slept until the afternoon before getting up, and when he came out of the room, Li Fu also came out of the next room, Li Wenjie said, "Let's go, let's eat first." ”
The two of them went out to the living room, ordered a table of dishes, and were eating to their heart's content, when a person at the table next to them looked over and said, "Ouch, boy, I didn't expect you to be a son, and you are quite rich in food." ”
Li Wenjie said: "Brother Gongzi is not counted, but the family has a little money, friends, if you don't dislike it, sit down and eat together." ”
The man sat down with a smile and said, "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it." With that, he sat down and began to eat.
Looking at his eating appearance, Li Wenjie and Li Fu put down the dishes and chopsticks, and the man said embarrassedly: "Childe, did my eating appearance scare you? Why don't you eat it?"
Li Wenjie said: "No, we are full, you can eat." ”
The man said happily, "Okay." ”
After a while, the man finished eating the dishes on the table, touched his stomach and said, "Happy, since the war, I haven't eaten so much for a long time, thank you Gongzi for your righteousness." ”
Li Wenjie said: "This big brother, what do you mean by this? You have hands and feet, can you still starve?"
The man said: "Alas, it's not because of the war, most of our people in Zitianfeng are doing business with Saiwai and the western suburbs to earn the difference, and this war will cut off our livelihood as soon as it starts." ”
Li Wenjie said: "Big brother, what you said is not true, I think you have been doing business with Saiwai and the western suburbs for so many years, and you should have made a lot of money by slaughtering businessmen passing by, right?
The man said embarrassedly: "Hehe, Childe, I look at your accent, it shouldn't be from the Northwest, right?"
Li Wenjie nodded and said, "Yes, I am from Qizhou." ”
The man said, "Childe, have you ever been to Zitian Peak for business before?"
Li Wenjie said: "No." ”
The man: "And how do you know about us?"
Li Wenjie didn't tell the truth, saying that he guessed it, but lied to him: "I heard what people said." ”
The man said: "I see, in fact, we are also to blame, the merchants we slaughtered are too much, and they used to be able to import goods from outside the Saiwai and the western suburbs, but these merchants dare not offend us." However, in the past three years of war, we could not import goods from outside the Saiwai and the western suburbs, so these merchants took revenge on us by raising the price of the grain sent to us, and in the past three years, we have almost used up all our savings to buy grain. ”
Hearing this, Li Wenjie smiled and said, "Hehe, you deserve it, now you know the retribution, right?"
The man said, "Childe, don't count us down." ”
Li Fudao: "Then why don't you leave the northwest?"
The man said: "We are reluctant to leave our homeland. ”
Li Wenjie said: "I think you are reluctant to give up the treasure land of Zitian Peak. ”
The man smiled and said, "Hehe, Gongzi Huiyan, we do think so, as long as the truce resumes trade, even if we don't do anything, as a person from Zitian Peak, we can get at least one or two taels of gold every day." It's just that we didn't expect that this war would last so long, but fortunately, there was Lei Erye's help, and whenever we participated in the war, Erye would share a large amount of money and food. ”
Li Wenjie said: "I don't think you are any different from bandits?"
The man smiled and responded, at this moment, there was a "dong dong" bell ringing outside, and the man said: "It's not good, the people from the outside and the western suburbs are coming again, let's go, let's hurry over." ”
Li Wenjie was a little curious, and wanted to follow over and take a look: "Wait, I'll settle the account first, Xiao Er, settle the account." ”
Xiao Er ran over and said, "Objective, a total of ten taels of gold." ”
Li Wenjie said: "What? You cheated me? I only ordered a few taels of silver, but you charged me ten taels?"
The man said: "Childe, this is not Qizhou, and the price of grain here is more than 100 times that of yours." ”
Li Wenjie said: "I ......." ”
Just when Li Wenjie was about to pay for the gold, Xiao Er said to Li Wenjie: "Childe, listen to your accent is from Dongxiang County, right?"
Li Wenjie nodded and said, "Yes, do you know Dongxiang County?"
Xiao Er said: "My lord is in Dongxiang County, his surname is Lu, since the son is the lord's fellow countryman, then collect eight taels of silver." ”
Li Wenjie said: "The surname is Lu, Lu Qian, your master will not be Lu Yuanwai, right?"
Xiao Er said: "Childe knows my young lady?"
Li Wenjie said: "Hmm, she's okay?"
Xiao Er said: "Miss is very good, she is in the northwest now." ”
Li Wenjie said unexpectedly: "It's very chaotic in the northwest now, what is she doing with one of her daughters?"
Xiao Er said happily: "Now the northwest is very profitable, the master is not at ease and wants to come in person, and the young lady is worried about the master, so she will come over instead of the master." ”
Li Wenjie took out ten taels of silver, and handed a token to Xiao Erdao: "The northwest is very messy, you give this token to your young lady, if she encounters any trouble, let her take this token to the station of the Danshou faction, and let the people of the Danshou faction hand it over to the Li family guards, and when the time comes, the Li family guards will do their best to help her." ”
Xiao Er exclaimed: "Li family, are you?"
Li Wenjie walked into his ear and whispered: "My identity is not suitable to be said, you tell your young lady, just say that my sister has slept with her, she will know my identity, and tell her, don't expose my identity." ”
Xiao Er glared and said, "Childe, I have been to Dongxiang County, and the master asked me to carry things into your house twice, but your voice has not changed, but people have changed a lot." ”
Li Wenjie said: "There are some things that I can't tell you, I hope you can help me keep them secret." ”
Xiao Er carefully put away the token, returned the silver to Li Wenjie and said, "Don't worry, Childe, I will keep it secret, I can't accept the silver." ”
Li Wenjie nodded and took the silver, and then followed the person away, and the man on the road smiled and said: "Hehe, childe, I watched your conversation just now, your identity seems to be very godly." ”
Li Wenjie patted him on the shoulder and said: "There, I came out without telling my family, and I happened to know Xiao Er, I asked him to help me hide it, but I just didn't want my family to find it." ”
The man said: "Hehe, don't lie to me, I have met a lot of businessmen, I can still tell whether it is true or false." ”
Li Wenjie said coldly: "What do you want?"
The man said: "It's very simple, I see that you are very familiar with the owner of the inn, as long as you let me go there, I don't have to pay for the meal, I can also help you keep it secret." ”
Li Wenjie smiled and said, "Hehe." Then he turned on the Nine Yin True Qi, slapped him on the shoulder, and left with Li Fu.
The man stopped there, and in a few moments his whole body was frozen up. I want to talk about "Yin and Yang Martial Immortals" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
