Under Wu Xiu's coercion, Han Donglai still turned the horse's head.

Wu Xiu was a little happy.

Then He Jiancheng saw the two of them walking towards him, and immediately cried louder, "The virtue of regeneration of the two heroes, I He Jiancheng is unforgettable!" He got up and rolled up his sleeves to wipe his tears, it really didn't look like a fake.

More than ten heroes have climbed up one after another, and the leading man hugged his fists and said: "Xie Er's young heroes are merciful, I don't know what sect the two come from, and what kind of kung fu is it?"

Wu Xiu looked back, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "It's not that there is a master inheritance, it's just that there are a lot of fights, and I know a truth, no matter what the move is, it is a good move to defeat others." ”

The big man nodded, "Taught." Liu Dalong, the owner of Heifeng Village in Lower Erlong Mountain, the two young heroes finished their errands, passed by my Erlong Mountain, and they could go up the mountain to sit when they had time. ”

Wu Xiu said with a smile: "Master Liu Zhai doesn't have to be polite, he will definitely go up the mountain to disturb the brothers when he passes by in the future." ”

Liu Dalong laughed heartily, seemingly satisfied and grateful for Wu Xiu's title of 'brother', and said to He Jiancheng: "Young Master He, now that there are two young heroes to help, we will return." I have been trusted over the years, but in the end, my skills are not good, and I have not helped Young Master He in the slightest. ”

Wu Xiu patted Han Donglai on the shoulder, as if to say, look, not everyone is as narrow-minded as you, and these green forest heroes are not all the kind of people who use their power to bully people and steal their reputations.

He Jiancheng hurriedly knelt down, "He Mou has been like a lost dog all these years, thanks to Brother Liu's unwavering and unwavering kindness, please accept my He family's next bow!"

Liu Dalong said loudly: "My brothers are good for one jar of wine per person! We are in Heifeng Village, waiting for Young Master He's good wine!"

A group of heroes rode away. Wu Xiu looked at their departing figures, and suddenly admired them a little.

Sometimes, on the rivers and lakes, a jar of wine can repay a great favor.

Who doesn't yearn for such rivers and lakes.

At this moment, Wu Xiu is in a very good mood.

Crescent County is not far from here, the three horsemen are slow all the way, He Jiancheng is a good talker, has been chattering on horseback, "Crescent County is not too far from Los Angeles, our biggest industry here is weaving. At that time, the king of Wei was in the city of Luo, and vigorously developed the local weaving industry, and our Crescent County was the largest concentration of places. There are not thousands of weaving and processing businesses in Xinyue County, but there are also hundreds, and our He family is the leading boss. Some of the cloth we weave is supplied to Los Angeles and Xudu, and the other part can be sold as far as Fancheng in the northwest. ”

He Jiancheng's voice was slightly low: "King Shangwu of Wei, I have been fighting in Great Wei for many years, and the grain and grass eaten by the soldiers are astronomical, and our merchants are also empty of blood, and we can't go into battle to kill the enemy, so we have to work hard, so I can make a modest contribution to my Great Wei's territorial expansion." ”

Wu Xiu said with a smile: "He Gongzi knows the general situation, and he will definitely gain the general trend." ”

He Jiancheng said with a smile: "What the hero said is right, now my Great Wei is bound to capture the Song Kingdom." The king of Wei will soon ascend to the throne in the ninth five-year period, and the top priority is to let those displaced people who fled the war return to their hometowns and vigorously develop production. Our Crescent County is not far from Los Angeles, and we have paid a lot for the sake of Great Wei, and the King of Wei will definitely not forget us. He continued: "Therefore, those of us who are in business now must do our duty well, cultivate more hemp fields, and go to other places to teach hemp and mulberry and weaving skills, so that those homeless people can rely on their own hands to have food and even their own homes." ”

Wu Xiu nodded and said: "Gongzi He is well aware of righteousness, and the name of the future will definitely resound in the Great Wei Dynasty and the opposition. ”

Han Donglai couldn't stand it anymore, so he strangled the horse rope, "You two are a hero, a son, aren't you tired?"

He Jiancheng smiled heartily: "What this hero said is that if the two of us don't dislike it, the three of us will be called brothers?"

......

After a while, Han Donglai's conversation box opened, and he took the initiative to say, "Brother He, what is the best Qinglou in your Crescent Moon County?"

He Jiancheng thought about it for a while and said, "If you want to say the best, you can count the Hongyun Tower in the west of the city." ”

Han Donglai said again: "Brother He, don't hide it, Zaixia's family used to be famous in his hometown, not only that, but my ancestor was also from an official family. However, in my father's generation, the family began to decline, and this time I went back in the hope of reviving the family. ”

He Jiancheng asked, "Brother Han, can you tell me where your hometown is?"

"Hanshan County to the west. ”

"But that Hanshan County that produces all kinds of jade?"

"Exactly. ”

"This is easy to do, I have some business dealings with the local Chu family. If you need it, I can repair a book, Brother Han can bring it over, and the Chu family will definitely help you. ”

"The Chu family, is it the Chu family whose head is Chu Yunhao?"

"Yes, Brother Han knows him?"

"It happened more than ten years ago, when our Han family asked for help from the Chu family when they were poor, but at that time, our Han family offended a figure who couldn't be provoked, so maybe they couldn't help. ”

"Brother Han doesn't have to worry, in my eyes, doing business is just four words, integrity-based, mastering these four words, and working harder and diligenter than others, you will be able to succeed." ”

"I have to consult Brother He in the future. ”

......

Wu Xiu was a little embarrassed.

Late at night, the three horsemen arrived in Crescent County, and He Jiancheng insisted on having a big drink, so he found a restaurant, and the three of them drank until dawn. During the banquet, it was basically Han Donglai and He Jiancheng who talked about each other, both of them had studied and had roughly the same background, so they talked a lot to each other.

The He family's business is really very large, and the mansion of the He Mansion alone is larger than the official mansion of the local county guard, and in Xinyue County, the name of the He family is known to everyone. In the morning, the three horsemen stopped in front of the gate of He Mansion, He Jiancheng dismounted and knocked on the door, the person who opened the door was an old man, the old man was very frightened when he saw He Jiancheng, he walked out of the gate and took He Jiancheng's hand and said carefully: "Young master, what are you doing." After all these years, can't you stop for a while?"

He Jiancheng was calm and calm, and said lightly: "Please report it, just say that the eldest son of the He family asked his father to say goodbye." ”

The old man sighed, "Young Master, why are you so troubled?" ”

He Jiancheng said: "I'm tired. ”

The old man finally nodded and turned around helplessly.

Wu Xiu and Han Donglai also turned over and dismounted, standing on He Jiancheng's left and right.

After waiting for a while, the door was opened from the inside, and a group of martial artists came out first, carrying all kinds of weapons, axes, hooks and forks, and those people were lined up left and right. Then stepping out of the threshold was a woman who looked like a young woman, Han Donglai's eyes lit up, but she was really a beauty. Behind the young woman were two black-robed men, covered with masks, whose expressions could not be seen clearly.

The young woman looked at He Jiancheng at the bottom of the stairs and said gloomily: "What's the matter?

He Jiancheng said loudly: "I just came to visit my father, and this gate is also the gate of our He family." How do you say that you break through the door?"

The young woman glanced at Wu Xiu and Han Donglai, and said, "I have already shown you the letter written by the master himself to cut off relations with you, and the master has already expelled you from the He family, and you still want to be shameless?" I broke into the door of my He family several times, I thought that you were not ruthless in the relationship between you and the He family, and I really thought that I would not dare to kill you?"

A few men with different weapons shouted and rushed up, Wu Xiu and Han Donglai glanced at each other, turned to attack, and looked at the bluffers, in fact, they were more vulnerable than the few people in the Black Wind Village of Erlong Mountain, and they all fell to the ground. The young woman frowned, and the movements of the two masked black-robed men behind her were almost identical, with one foot on the ground, extremely fast, they seemed to be using some kind of claw kung fu to attack Wu Xiu and Han Donglai.

Compared with fists and feet, Wu Xiu is not hard, but Han Donglai is good at swords, and it is not easy to deal with without drawing his sword, but the other party can't hurt him for the time being. Wu Xiu and Han Donglai relied not only on their experience on the battlefield, but also on the way of fighting to the limit of their physical strength. But the two black-robed people are really not good at stubble, half an hour has passed, and there is no sign of slackening in their moves at all, but they are attacking more and more tightly, faster and faster.

The young woman shouted, "Stop playing, kill them quickly!"

The two black-robed men drew their double knives behind their backs, their blades narrow and curved. Wu Xiu and Han Donglai stood calmly, looked at each other and smiled, Han Donglai began to draw his sword, Wu Xiu put down the cowhide package behind him, and pulled out two short spears.

As soon as the two short guns came out, the young woman was a little surprised.

After all, Han Donglai's body skills are still there, although his left-handed sword is not as vicious as his right-handed sword, but he still specializes in the key points of others. This is closely related to killing enemies on the battlefield for many years, and on the battlefield, as long as the opponent does not die, they will continue to attack you with the law. The black-robed man who attacked him danced with two swords, attacking up and down together, Han Donglai calmly dealt with it, and his poisonous swordsmanship also made the other party tired of coping, and the two of them couldn't tell the difference between high and low for a while.

But Wu Xiu's side is different, two guns against two knives, Wu Xiu suppressed the other party early. The two guns were like a two-headed snake spitting letters, fast, accurate and ruthless, and the other party retreated again and again, retreating to the bottom of the steps. Wu Xiu had no intention of hurting people in his heart, otherwise there would have been several transparent holes on the other party's body. A moment later, the man's double knives came out of his hands, Wu Xiu kicked him in the abdomen, he rolled to the ground, got up to retreat, Wu Xiu picked up a knife that fell to the ground with the blade of a gun, threw it over, and pierced the ground half an inch in front of his toes, he was about to move, and another knife blocked the way. Wu Xiu stepped forward, "Your brother hasn't left yet, what are you leaving?"

The other party seemed to be a wooden man, and he stopped talking, just clubbing.

In another place, Han Donglai came and went with the black-robed man, and Han Donglai shouted, "Boss, is it so fast?"

He Jiancheng was a little anxious, "Brother Wu, does Brother Han need help?"

Wu Xiu said with a smile: "Second brother, your left-handed sword is not yet a good climate, take this opportunity to practice hard." ”

After Wu Xiu's reminder, Han Donglai began to be solemn, this is a rare opportunity. The empty long sleeves were like a ribbon dancing when a dancer danced, and the speed and strength of Han Donglai's sword began to speed up and increase. After only a short while, blood was slowly flowing from the man's armpits, the man's face door was broken several times, and the man's wrist holding the knife was also opened.

Wu Xiu reminded: "Second brother, don't kill anyone. ”

Han Donglai said helplessly: "I don't want to either!

Han Donglai retreated to Wu Xiu's side, and the man still wanted to chase after him, but Han Donglai had already pushed the sword back into the scabbard, he raised his hand and said, "Brother, don't work so hard, you will die." ”

The man didn't seem to be able to hear, Han Donglai was helpless, as long as he turned sideways and threw a slap, this slap was really not light, and it directly shook the person and fainted.

The three of them looked at the beautiful young woman who had been standing on the steps, and the young woman's face was full of horror and incredulity, and she took two steps back, "Who are you?"

He Jiancheng snorted coldly, "Slut, hurry up, where is my father!"

Han Donglai stroked the handle, looked at the young woman, smiled playfully, and was obviously moved.

The young woman suddenly cried, crying and crying and began to laugh charmingly, and then he tidied up his makeup and looked at Han Donglai, his eyes were as gentle as water, and a little weird. Han Donglai only felt a tremor in his heart, and an impulse to be loved and wanted to love surged into his heart, he stared at the young woman and walked towards her.

Wu Xiu hurriedly said: "Second child, what are you doing!"

Han Donglai still didn't stop, Wu Xiu knew that something was wrong, combined the two short spears into one, jumped in front of the young woman, and pressed a spear as white as snow against her neck, "Say, what did you do to my brother?!"

The young woman seemed to be extremely afraid of the spear and the cold snow, and the appearance of facing Han Donglai just now instantly turned into a pitiful expression begging for mercy, she retreated to the threshold and sat on the threshold, "Who are you?

The spear did not really pierce her neck, but only cut a little wound, and where the wound touched the tip of the spear, the young woman's blood was slowly absorbed by the tip of the spear at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and the young woman was even more painful. Then she nodded a few times at the zombie-like Han Donglai.

Han Dong came to a stirring spirit, and his eyes instantly regained their brilliance, but his face was a little pale.

Seeing that Han Donglai was safe and sound, Wu Xiu withdrew his spear, "Who are you?

The young woman seemed to accept her fate, sat on the threshold and didn't get up for a long time, she said slowly: "I said, can the immortal spare my life?"

He Jiancheng jumped over, "Slut, tell me quickly, what have you done to my father over the years?!"

The young woman continued: "I originally got the Dao Fox Demon, and after turning into a human form, I was obsessed with human life. He has attained the Tao, but his Taoism is low, and he does not dare to go to other places, so he can only haunt the Crescent County without monks. Ten years ago, the old man of the He family met me on the street, and I saw that he had a soft spot for me, so I cast a charm on him. Just now, your brother was also cast a charm spell by me, and I have removed it, and he will be fine. ”

"I wanted to grow old with the master in peace and be a human husband and wife for decades, but the young master hated me to the core, so I had no choice but to enchant the old man to write a letter to break off the relationship with the young master. You should all know what happened next. ”

Han Donglai frowned and said, "Is what the book says true, there are really fox spirits in the world!"

Wu Xiu asked, "What's the matter with these two black-robed people?"

The fox demon replied: "They are masters of the rivers and lakes, and they also fell under my charm spell, so I controlled them and worked hard for me." ”

Han Dong nodded when he came, "No wonder, I said that these two guys are not afraid of pain!"

Wu Xiu looked at He Jiancheng and asked, "Brother He, now she is handed over to you to deal with." ”

He Jiancheng asked, "What about my father?" and is he still alive?"

The fox demon nodded, "The old man is still here, he has been seriously ill and bedridden all these years." In the past year, I have used fox blood to renew his life, but after a long time, my fox blood has not worked. ”

"Take me there!"

In the back hall of He's house, in the room due east, there was a middle-aged man with a pale face lying on the bed, He Jiancheng fell to the ground with a puff, and cried loudly, "Father, father, children are not filial, children are not filial!" But the man on the bed did not react, He Jiancheng got up and shouted, "Butler and housekeeper! Go and invite the best Langzhong in Xinyue County and invite them all over!"

The fox demon sobbed silently beside him, "It's useless, not only this Crescent County over the years, but even several famous men in Los Angeles have been here, and they are still not good doctors." ”

He Jiancheng cried loudly, he suddenly raised his head, glared at the fox demon, and shouted: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault!

The fox demon cried sadly: "I really love my master, and besides, I have long since withdrawn the charm spell. A few years ago, I thought about you so much that I would call your name in my dreams, but I was always afraid that you would retaliate against me, so I didn't call you home. I've tried to explain to you several times over the years, but every time you go home, you bring a bunch of vicious heroes with you. She looked at the middle-aged man on the bed painfully: "It's not my fault that the lord looks like this, I always hear him talk about the anger he was with your mother when I was young." If the master could enjoy some husband and wife love more when he was young, if your mother could not run away from home, the master in the prime of life would not be like this. ”

Hearing this, He Jiancheng cried even louder.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

Wu Xiu and Han Donglai walked out of the room silently, and Han Donglai asked, "Boss, aren't you afraid that the fox demon is plotting against you?"

Wu Xiu nodded, "I see that what she said is true, and she can't fake it." ”

The housekeeper arranged the room for Wu Xiu and Han Donglai, and the two fell asleep. slept until the evening, when He Jiancheng came to knock on the door, saying that he had prepared a family banquet for the two of them. said that it was a family banquet, but only He Jiancheng himself accompanied Wu Xiu and Han Dong at the banquet. The family affairs of the He family were said more clearly at the banquet.

It turned out that He Jiancheng's mother ran away from home after giving birth to He Jiancheng, the specific reason may be that the He family was still very weak at that time, according to his father's family background at that time, he was not worthy of his mother at all, and his parents' marriage was completely matched by his maternal grandfather in the middle. His maternal grandfather is a local respected bachelor, the students are said to have achieved the position of a country's squire, although his father is not an official way, but is a very good reading seed, his grandfather was very optimistic about his father at the time, so he sent his mother into the He family, after his parents got married, his father took good care of his mother, but no matter how he could not warm his mother's heart, after giving birth to him, he ran away with a scholar.

In the days to come, the father was a father and a mother, and the father relied on a spirit of not admitting defeat to let the He family sit on the top spot in the weaving industry of Xinyue County, and his father rarely mentioned the bitterness in the middle. For decades, his father didn't renew the strings, not even the best green building in Crescent County. Until I met the fox demon, I suddenly fell in love and was out of control.

In the future, there will be little difference from what the fox demon said. It's just that in He Jiancheng's heart, he still has some resentment towards the fox demon, but when the best Lang Zhong checked his father's condition, He Jiancheng gradually let go of the burden in his heart. Na Langzhong said that it was a miracle that his father's illness had survived to this point, and if it weren't for his family's 'ancestral secret recipe', he might have been buried long ago.

At this point, this He family affair is a successful end. In fact, if there is no Wu Xiu and Han Donglai, this matter will be slowly unraveled over time, and the fox demon said that she had long wanted to call him home in the name of He Jiancheng's father and let him take over the entire He family's business, but the fox demon also said that after He Jiancheng went home, she would leave the He family, return to the mountains and forests, and continue to cultivate. The reason why she didn't do it was because she was reluctant to leave the man she loved.

On this day, Wu Xiu and Han Donglai were about to leave, He Jiancheng was about to send the two, the fox demon in the distance came and stopped the two, He Jiancheng took the first step, went out of the courtyard gate, and waited outside the door, it seems that the matter is clear and clear, and there is still some estrangement between the two people. The fox demon bowed and asked, "How many more days will the two sons stay?"

Wu Xiu bolted the saddle and replied, "We won't live long, we still have something to do to rush to Los Angeles." ”

The fox demon continued: "After all, I am a demon, no matter how I say it, there is something wrong with me, when the old man dies, I will return to the mountains and forests, continue to be my fox demon, and never go down the mountain to make trouble again." ”

Wu Xiu smiled: "Madame, it's serious. In my opinion, whether it is a human or a demon, as long as the heart is good, it doesn't matter, and humans and demons can also get along in harmony. ”

The fox demon smiled softly and gave a blessing, "Childe is righteous." She looked at Wu Xiu's cowhide package and asked, "I originally thought that Gongzi was a mountain monk who hid the weather and came down the mountain to subdue demons and eliminate demons, so I begged Gongzi for mercy that day." But my Guan Gongzi is a real mortal in the flesh, why is there such an evil weapon?"

Wu Xiu was indeed asked, he patted the cowhide package, "Evil Sect weapon? Are you talking about this spear? I don't think it's much evil, it's just that I grabbed it, and it's more convenient." ”

The fox demon was dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "Childe is really hidden, this gun seems to have natural restraint to my demon clan, with this gun by his side, Childe can walk at night with peace of mind." ”

She looked at Han Donglai and said, "That day, I offended Gongzi with the Enchanting Heart Charm, Gongzi made a sword, and the sword moves were vicious and agile, so I have a sword here, which is more suitable for Childe's sword moves, if Childe doesn't dislike it, take it and use it." ”

As he spoke, a brown long sword appeared out of thin air and floated towards Han Donglai on its own.

Han Donglai's eyes lit up, he took the long sword, and suddenly drew the sword, a cold light appeared, the sword body was narrow and thin, and when the scabbard was completely pulled out, the tip of the sword trembled slightly, as if there was a mournful roar, Han Donglai waved left and right, very taking advantage of his hand, and immediately he was a little in love, but he still smiled: "Madam, how is this embarrassing?"

The fox demon smiled: "This sword has an extraordinary origin, it was once the famous sword of the monks on the mountain, and when the owner of this sword died, let me keep it on my behalf, saying that it can be given to someone who is destined to meet it." The name of the sword hated, and the son looked at the sword body next to the hilt. ”

Han Donglai took a closer look, and sure enough, there were two small ancient seal characters on the sword body that glowed with blue light, 'Long Hatred'.

The fox demon said: "After all, it is a thing on the mountain, and it is spiritual." Childe has been raised for a long time, maybe he can raise a sword spirit. ”

Han Donglai smiled happily, and hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked him: "Han Donglai, Mrs. Xie is a big gift." ”

The fox demon said: "My real name is Zhang Xiaolian, in the future, the two sons passed by the Ziyun Cave of Yandang Mountain in the south of the Great Wei Dynasty, and they could go up the mountain to drink tea. She suddenly became a little melancholy, "The two sons, when you walk the rivers and lakes in the future, you can't easily trust others, let alone other demons." ”

Wu Xiu nodded, this sentence is true, "Mrs. Xie reminded, it's just that Mrs. still has to suffer a little grievance in this He family, after all, Brother He still has some resentment towards Mrs., as the so-called grievances should be resolved, and the bell must be tied to the bell, in my spare time, talk to my Brother He, after all, they are all family." ”

Fox demon Zhang Xiaolian nodded, looked at He Jiancheng, who was waiting silently outside the door, and pursed her lips, "Don't worry, this He family will definitely be the He family, I will serve the master with peace of mind, and I will never interfere in the affairs of the family again." As for the young master, I am sure that he will one day understand my suffering. ”

Wu Xiu and Han Donglai hugged their fists at the same time, and Han Donglai said: "I wish Mrs. to build the avenue as soon as possible! The green mountains will not change, the green water will flow for a long time, and Mrs. will have a period in the future!"

Zhang Xiaolian smiled like a flower, and bowed lightly.

Looking at the backs of Wu Xiu and Han Donglai, Zhang Xiaolian shouted: "Two sons, have a safe journey!"

She suddenly felt that the world was really a good place, and there were such good young people walking the rivers and lakes, and she was a little reluctant to leave.

Outside the door, He Jiancheng greeted him, and he was grateful from the bottom of his heart for Wu Xiu and Han Donglai, "Brother Wu, Brother Han, you two don't want anything, I am very ashamed!"

Han Donglai patted him on the shoulder, "We don't lack anything for the time being, so we don't want it." Besides, when I return to my hometown to regain my family business, I still need more help from you!"

He Jiancheng was finally a little relieved, "Brother Han, don't worry, as long as it is useful, just ask!"

Wu Xiu said: "Brother He, although Mrs. is a demon, she is indeed a good demon, and the previous things were also unavoidable, find a chance for the two of you to talk about it, they are all a family, there is nothing to get over." ”

He Jiancheng nodded, "After so many things, in fact, I am also a little relieved, don't worry, Brother Wu, I know what to do." ”

The three of them talked and laughed all the way, and they walked very slowly. It was already past noon when he left the city gate, He Jiancheng shook his arm and separated from Wu Xiu and Han Donglai, and the two also turned around and waved.

The rivers and lakes are far away, and I don't know when goodbye will be

Why do you have to know each other when you meet?

I just hope that this world will be better with you.

He Jiancheng watched them drift away from the back, and hugged his fists.

Wu Xiu was in a very good mood, and he smiled: "Third child, is there still more good people?"

Han Donglai sat on horseback, shook the long sword and hated, "Smile, yes, yes, what you said is right, boss!"

Wu Xiu, who usually doesn't smile, always smiles today, it turns out that he looks so good when he laughs. He pinched the horse's belly, "Second brother, are we considered good people as people say?"

Han Donglai frowned and thought, "Don't count." He also rushed out with his horse's belly between them, shouting, "But what we have done is a good thing!"

......

Crescent County was delayed for two days, so it was a day later than originally planned to arrive in Qingfeng Town, and this was when the two of them were rushing overnight. In the afternoon of this day, the two rode on the official road, because it was close to Los Angeles, so the people on the official road were particularly chaotic, and there were more soldiers and horses of the government wandering around on the official road, and when they saw suspicious pedestrians, they had to come forward to ask, and it was inconvenient to ride horses, so the two led the horses.

Two soldiers in armor wore Wei swords at their waists and stopped Wu Xiu and Han Donglai.

Wu Xiu stopped his horse and clenched his fists and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"What are you two doing?" the tall patrolman said.

"We are relatives. Han Donglai replied.

"Do I need to bring weapons to my relatives?"

Wu Xiu and Han Donglai had no choice but to take out their military notebooks.

After reading it, the two patrolmen immediately became respectful, "The subordinates have no eyes and have disturbed the two generals." ”

Wu Xiu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay." You're also duty, and besides, we're not generals, we're just cutting off a few more heads on the battlefield. ”

Han Donglai asked, "Two brothers, ask one thing, how to get to Qingfeng Town?"

"Back to the general, fifteen miles ahead of this road, there is a fork in the road, go to the left is Qingfeng Town, there is a stone road sign on the fork in the road, the general can see it when he arrives. ”

Wu Xiu asked, "How long will it take to get to Qingfeng Town?"

The tall man pondered and replied, "There are still about a hundred miles to go, but the sun is about to set now, and the two generals can rest for the night in the town in front if they are not in a hurry." ”

Han Donglai patted the man's shoulder, "It's hard work!"

After the two armored soldiers left, Han Dong looked at Wu Xiu and asked, "Boss, what do you say?"

Wu Xiu said: "Let's rest for one night in front." If you arrive at night, you need to disturb people. ”

Han Donglai nodded, "That's the reason, I've been on the road for several days in a row, and the birds have faded out of my mouth." Have a good meal tonight. ”

Luoshui Town is the closest town to Los Angeles. It is said to be a town, but it is larger than some remote county towns, and some dignitaries regard Luoshui Town as a back garden. The scenery here is beautiful, and there is a Luoshui through the city, on both sides of the river are some rich people built luxury mansions, there may not be many people living on weekdays, but when it comes to holidays, those rich people will come here to live idle, especially in the summer heat, people who come to escape the heat abound. Because it is very close to Los Angeles, the security check here is stricter than that of other places, and outside the gate of the town, which is bigger than other county gates, everyone who enters the city must be questioned or checked, Wu Xiu and Han Donglai had to hand out the military book again and entered the city smoothly.

Wu Xiu and Han Donglai were quite interested today.

Dongyue Lou is a medium-sized restaurant in Luoshui Town, although he is not a rich man, and he only has the military salary that he has exchanged for blood over the years, but they will not be too stingy with food, especially Han Donglai, he is a nobleman, and he is very particular about eating, he has a saying that is very good, 'While you are young, you should eat and drink, and when you are old, you will not be able to eat!' In fact, it is not unreasonable.

At Han Donglai's request, the two ordered a large table of dishes, and what they ate was a whirlwind. But when it came time to settle the bill, both of them were a little dumbfounded, a full eight taels. Han Donglai was about to argue with reason, but when the store brought the clear price of the dish, both of them resigned themselves to their fate. The shopkeeper also said that eating such a dish in a remote county town costs one or two taels of silver, but it is not the same in Luoshui Town in Los Angeles, the price here is so expensive, this is still a medium restaurant, if you go to Hongbin Building in Luoshui Town, you can get more than ten taels, and go to the Wuhua Palace in Los Angeles, but it takes thirty or forty taels.

The two were embarrassed. I thought that judging from the military salary on his body, he was also a rich man. But after thinking about it again, it was enough to go to that Wuhua Palace to live for dozens of days. However, according to the national conditions of the Great Wei Dynasty, all the food of the average small family in a year is only more than 30 taels, and all the expenses of the medium family in a year are more than 100 taels.

Wu Xiu and Han Donglai silently calculated, they were almost soldiers at the same time, the original intention of entering the army was originally to fill their stomachs, before they entered the black armor battalion, they were at most twenty taels of silver a year, and after entering the black armor battalion, they could get eighty taels a year, and they stayed in the black armor camp for about six years, which is a few hundred taels, but this is not all the salary of the black armor battalion. As the absolute division of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Black Armor Battalion has made countless military exploits, and the best way to commend the military exploits is to give money, Wu Xiu and Han Donglai have also accumulated two or three thousand taels in addition to military salaries over the years. Coach Duan Tianya doesn't seem to have the slightest interest in money, for example, in the last war in Shu, King Wei rewarded Duan Tianya with three hundred taels of gold at one time, but he converted the gold into silver and distributed it to others, plus this kind of money also has one or two thousand taels.

Wu Xiu counted the loose silver and one hundred taels of silver tickets on his body, he was the commander of the army, whether it was military salary and others, he was more than Han Donglai, a total of five thousand three hundred taels. Han Donglai also counted, four thousand nine hundred taels, of which three hundred taels were pensions for broken arms. There are many ways to do this, such as Han Donglai is alone, the pension is his personal income, Cao Jiabao and Huang Er are different, half of the military salary is directly distributed by the local government to their families, and half is in their hands, and there are two ways to pay the pension, one can be converted into various taxes, and the other is also directly issued to the family.

The soldiers of the Black Armor Battalion have one life, eight hundred taels.

Ordinary Great Wei soldiers have one life, fifty taels.

This is the difference between the Black Armor Battalion and the ordinary Wei Army.

Another package in Wu Xiu's brown paper, in which is half of Cao Jiabao's military salary for many years, the pension is converted into his family's taxes and his younger brother's education expenses, Huang Er's half of the military salary and pension for many years, and Ping'er's entire military salary and pension. He needs to deliver these to their homes in person.

Wu Xiu shook his head and said, "It seems that we still have to save money!"

Han Donglai had a toothpick in the corner of his mouth, one leg was clubbed on the bench, and the other leg was stretched far away, swaying from side to side, "One person is full, the whole family is not hungry, and the boss doesn't need to have a stumbling life." More than 5,000 taels of silver, as long as you don't eat these things every day, it will be enough to spend for twenty or thirty years. ”

Wu Xiu took out a stack of silver tickets and counted them, a total of twenty, "I was originally waiting to take it out on the day of separation, but thinking about it, the sooner I take it out, the better I feel better, you take the two thousand taels of silver first, you will have to use more places than me when you return to your hometown, and the little money around you is not enough to regain the family business and revitalize your Han family." ”

Han Donglai straightened his posture and shook his head: "Boss, this is not good. You still have to walk so far, and you only have more than 3,000 taels left on you, which is not enough. ”

Wu Xiu put a stack of silver tickets in front of Han Donglai, "That's enough." You don't know me yet, it doesn't matter what you eat, as long as you're not hungry. ”

Han Donglai pushed the stack of silver tickets out again, "Boss, I can't ask for it." You've helped us enough over the years, and besides, every time our brothers drink flower wine, it's all the money you give, and this time the two of us spent all the way out of your money. ”

Wu Xiu picked up the silver ticket, "Second brother, listen to me." When you return to your hometown, you can't go to the kiln all day long, so didn't He Jiancheng say that the way of doing business should be 'integrity-based', plus a little harder than others, a little more diligent than others, you will definitely be able to achieve great success. He handed out the silver ticket, "You need this money more than me, just treat me as if I lent it to you, and pay me back when you are developed." ”

Han Donglai timidly never took the silver ticket, but his eyes were a little red, "Boss, I, I..."

Wu Xiu stuffed the silver ticket into Han Dong's hand, "Don't let me go, go back and work hard, I'll wait for you to pay me back!"

Han Donglai wiped his face and stuffed the silver ticket into his arms, "I won't say much else, boss, just watch, one day I will go to Fancheng to find you, take you to Hanshan County with eight sedan chairs, and enjoy the life of the rich!"

Wu Xiu smiled: "I'm not your daughter-in-law, and I can't do it with a big sedan chair." When I'm done, when I return to Fancheng, if you miss me, write to me, and when I'm okay after the autumn, I'll come to you. ”

Han Donglai nodded, "Then it's decided!"

Wu Xiu said: "I can't go to help you first, when I'm done with things, if you don't ask me to come, I'll come!"

Han Donglai suddenly asked, "Boss, is there anyone in your hometown?"

Wu Xiu shook his head, "I left my hometown before I was twenty years old, and it has been eleven or twelve years now. At that time, there was a lot of war, and the people in my hometown ran away, and even if there were, they ran away. He suddenly felt a little sad, "It's been more than ten years, and I don't know what my hometown has become." ”

Han Donglai said with a smile: "Don't worry, boss, the matter of finding a daughter-in-law is on me." You don't know what my Hanshan County prospies, right?"

Wu Xiu said: "Didn't He Jiancheng say it, jade." ”

Han Donglai nodded, "It's only half right, my Hanshan County is rich in one thing besides jade!"

"What?"

"Woman. ”

"Is it a woman with four eyes and two mouths?"

"No, no, no, two eyes, two ears, a mouth, a nose. ”

"Could it be the spirit of the mountains, whose name is a woman?"

"No, no, no, it's the same woman you see. ”

"What's so strange about that, aren't there women everywhere?"

"No, no, no, the women of our Hanshan County are different. ”

"What's the difference?"

"Beautiful, the woman of our Hanshan County, the most beautiful in the world. ”

"Oh. ”

"Our Hanshan County's green water is green jade, Bai Bosheng Baigui, our women in Hanshan County, turn their eyes and flow essence, smooth as jade, without spitting out words, breath like a quiet orchid, gorgeous and graceful, make me forget to eat. ”

"Second brother, let's go out of the city tonight, it's quite expensive to live in the city. ”

"This ......"
