Volume 1 The Fledgling Three Brothers Chapter 151 The heavily guarded Iron Hat City
Chen Tian smiled and said heartily:
"What Long Jun said is right, although I am not talented, speaking in the mining city is quite a bit weighty. Longjun's friend is my friend, this kid specially instructed me all the way, let me take care of you well, haha. ”
"Don't worry, the mining city is developing very well, and I believe you will be able to live here very happily. Tomorrow I will give you a shop along the street, and ensure that the location is the best for the least amount of money. I will send someone to clean up the old yard of Longjun's house as soon as possible, build the wall first, and build the house whenever you want. Now the mining city is being built everywhere, and there is a lot of ash, sand, and bricks, and I will allocate some for you to build houses, and it won't cost you a lot of money. ”
Ji Longjun was stunned, Chen Tian pretended to groan when he asked all the way just now, but he didn't expect to agree so happily now.
Yin Mu's family was naturally very grateful.
Coming to a strange place, if the head snake is willing to help, it will undoubtedly save them a lot of trouble for settling down.
Chen Tian smiled magnificently, patted Ji Longjun on the shoulder and said to the Yin Mu family:
"You must not think that I am a very generous person, in fact, I am stingy! It's just that Longjun is my own brother, and the people he entrusted to me must be taken care of as my own relatives. I guarantee that you will not be wronged even the slightest bit in the mining city! ”
Chen Tian said, glanced at Ji Longjun, and said:
"Auntie, Miss Yin, Brother Niu Niu, I just have something I want to tell you in advance. ”
Yin Mu and the others were stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Tian, whose expression had become serious, and was a little nervous for a while.
"Ji Longjun is my good brother, and he also has some special tasks. In the future, although you can live in the mining city with peace of mind, if your neighbors ask, you can just say that it is a distant relative of my Chen Tian, and I will often come forward to let others know about our relationship. Don't talk about knowing Ji Longjun in the future, don't have anything to do with him! This is to protect Ji Longjun, and it is also to protect you, you know?"
Yin Mu and the others looked at each other, although they didn't know what Chen Tian meant, but seeing that Ji Longjun and Ji Kai also looked serious, they had to nod and write down Chen Tian's words.
Ji Longjun smiled awkwardly and said:
"Mu Mu, for some reason, I can't enter the city openly, so Da Kai and I will send you here! But I can't help too much when I go into the city, and the rest will be handed over to Boss Chen." ”
Yin Mu lowered his head and said, "Well, thank you! Longjun, you have to be careful yourself." ”
Ji Longjun gently patted Yin Mu's shoulder, and then turned to Yin Yuniu:
"Niu Niu, Da Kai and I have to go to another place to do some things, maybe we can come back in more than a month. You first help your aunt and Mu Mu settle down in the mining city, and prepare for whatever shops to open, and when I come back, let's go to the vast immortal chief together!"
Yin Yuniu nodded: "Don't worry, Long Jun, I will take care of my aunt and my sister." ”
Ji Longjun instructed one by one, chatting hotly, Ji Kai and Chen Tian went one after the other, but their eyes were strange.
Seeing that the goodbye was almost over, Chen Tian finally instructed again: "Longjun, you must be 'careful'!"
Ji Longjun nodded and glanced at Chen Tian.
After greeting Yin Mu and the others, the two Ji Longjun brothers finally turned around and left.
Yin Mu's family has their own Chen Tian to arrange, and he is not worried about this at all.
But he was worried about the coil in his pocket.
The two donkeys gave the Yin family camel luggage, and the few dollars left in the pocket were not enough to buy a donkey again, could it be true that they had to rely on two legs to go to Iron Hat Mountain?
After leaving the scope of the mining city, Ji Kai looked at Ji Longjun with a sad face and said with a smile:
"Brother, what's the matter, I can't bear my sister-in-law? I can't just stay with her more, I can complete the task by myself, haha, haha!"
Ji Longjun glared at Ji Kai, too lazy to break with him.
"Silly Kai, you don't hear anything outside the window, and you don't know the price of firewood and rice if you don't belong home!"
Ji Longjun sighed and said, "We're going to run out of money again, Chen Tian gave us a coil, and there are two hangings." ”
Ji Kai exclaimed: "What, there is no money again?"
"Two hangings, that's two thousand yuan, if we have two meals a day, we have to pay fifty yuan, and two hangings are about enough...... Well...... Forty days? No, that's not even counting accommodation. Oh my God, brother, let's go back quickly!"
Ji Kai grabbed Ji Longjun as he spoke, and turned his head to walk back.
"Where are you going back?" asked Ji Longjun.
"Go to Boss Chen and ask for more entanglement!"
"If you want a fart, it's not that people don't give money, it's that we spend a little too much these days. That's it, my brother, let's find a way to make some money on the way. ”
Ji Kai hurriedly said: "I don't want to go back now, then it's okay to give Chen Tian a little bit just now! Yes, brother, are you embarrassed to speak in front of Mu Mu? Hmph, woman, ......"
Ji Longjun rolled his eyes: "What kind of woman is not a woman, a manly husband, if you want to spend money, you can earn it yourself, what is the matter with being cheeky to others?"
"Okay, brother, let's not only ask Chen Tian for money, but also ask for the little toad, ask for Xiaojun, don't say these beautiful words, don't you feel pain in your heart when you say it?"
Ji Kai suddenly laughed again, reached into his arms and touched it over and over again, and when a fat hand was stretched out again, there was a big silver ingots in the palm!
Ji Longjun's eyes lit up: "I'll go, Dakai, where did you get the silver?!"
Ji Kai said triumphantly: "Brother, don't you say that a manly husband should earn it himself if he wants to spend money?
"Stop talking nonsense, you kid is with me every day, I don't know what you usually do?"
Ji Longjun frowned, "It won't be Mu Mu who gave it to you, right?"
"How can it, even if my sister-in-law gives you money, how can you give it to me. ”
"Da Kai, if your sister-in-law is long and sister-in-law is short, I can cut you!"
Ji Longjun didn't mean to cut people at all, but his eyes were fixed on the silver ingot in Ji Kai's hand.
He wanted to snatch it, but Ji Kai shrank his hand and quickly stuffed the white silver ingot back into his arms.
"Brother, I have twenty taels of silver on this ingot, which I picked up from their dinner table when we cleaned up Xu Ergou that night!"
Ji Kai raised his head and said, "You and Niu Niu patronized Xu Ergou, and you can't see the twenty taels of silver ingots on the table?" Brother, let's talk about it, I picked up this ingot of silver, and I have to put it here for safekeeping! Every time I put the money in you, in the end, I don't know where the money went before I got the flowers!"
"I have to keep whatever I say this time, just say whatever you want to buy, don't be embarrassed, anyway, if I don't like it, I won't buy it for you!haha, haha!"
The brothers bought two mules in a nearby village.
The mule is the product of a cross between a horse and a donkey, combining the strength of a horse with the patience of a donkey, and is a rare animal power for the people in the village.
The two of them rode their mules all the way south, inquiring as they went, and in a few days they came to a low hill.
This is a dark green mountain group, the mountains are not too high, much worse than the mines and the east mountain.
The distance between the mountains is large, and several low mountains on the periphery seem to be enclosed in a circle, with a large basin in the middle.
If you look down from a very high place, it looks like an upside-down hat.
Because of the iron ore produced here, this group of mountains is collectively called "Iron Hat Mountain".
In the basin in the middle of the mountains was a large city with a well-developed forging industry, which was the destination of the brothers' trip.
Ji Longjun and his brothers came to the open official road outside the city gate, led the mules and lined up to enter the city.
The gate is not too big, and only four or five people can pass through it side by side.
Above the city gate, a large iron plaque is inlaid in stone bricks, and three large characters are cast on it: Iron Hat City.
"Where's the waist card?" asked the armored warrior at the gate of the city.
"Official, here, here. ”
The merchant-looking man who was stopped hurriedly took out an iron plate from his waist pocket and handed it to the samurai for inspection.
The samurai looked at it and returned the iron plate to the man.
"Let's go inside. ”
The samurai waved his hand, and his big blazing eyes looked down on the next person.
"Where's the waist card?" the samurai asked, staring at the man.
"Official, I'm looking for relatives from other places, and I don't have ...... There's no waist card!"
The person who spoke was rather obscene, holding a donkey in his hand and carrying a large bag on his back.
"Who are you looking for, what is your name, how old is you, what street you live in, what kind of livelihood do you have, how many people are in your family?" asked the samurai's mouth like a spring.
"If you go back to the official master, my cousin's name is Zhang Xiaozhuang, and he is forty-eight this year...... It may also be forty-nine, live in Maoyan Hutong, and open a deli shop at the mouth of the alley. He had two sons, both of whom worked in the ironworks. ”
The man recounted it quite skillfully, barely thinking about it.
Another warrior had a thick booklet in his hand and found Zhang Xiaozhuang's name as the man said.
After checking the contents of the registration one by one, the samurai nodded and said to the man, "Well, it's all right." How many days are you going to stay in Iron Hat City?"
"If you go back to the official, I'm here to send a wedding card to my cousin, my son...... I just added a big fat boy, hehe, I'll go out of town tomorrow after one night. ”
"Oh, congratulations! Brother, you go to the concierge to bet some silver taels for a temporary waist card, and then change it back when you leave tomorrow!"
The warrior raised his hand and let the lewd man into the city.
"Next, where's the waist card?"
The warrior from earlier looked up and down again, staring at the next person who was about to enter the city.
Ji Kai looked at Ji Longjun a little anxiously, and whispered:
"Brother, how come the city defenses of this Iron Hat City are stricter than that of Qi City? It's over, how can we get into such a question?"
Ji Longjun also had a little numb scalp, and when the question was asked to this extent, it would definitely not work.
"My brother, let's leave first!"
Ji Longjun whispered, leading the mule and quietly leaving the team without a trace.
As if looking for a place to urinate, the two led the mule to a wooded forest, but they were nowhere to be found.
Ji Longjun and Ji Kai climbed left and right in the forest, and reached a depression halfway up the mountain.
Ji Longjun took a breath and said helplessly: "My brother, it seems that it is a little difficult to enter the city openly. Even if we enter the city, if we don't have a waist card, I'm afraid that there is no play in the hotel, who knows what the situation is in the city, in case we live in the hotel, we also need a waist card, we also need a waist card, and we also need a waist card to walk, so we don't want to do anything. ”
