Chapter 19 Blocking the Road and Cutting the Path
Each flag of the first Dengwei actually has its own room, although there is not much oil and water, but it can be full. The people who go to eat the big pot of rice are all unsatisfactory guys, but anyone who is willing to pay for it, or do it himself or hire someone, can eat a small stove.
In addition to the uncle who first ascended the guard, there are many blacksmiths, veterinarians, grooms, sewing women, small merchants and hawkers, and even gambling sticks, prostitutes and prostitutes, etc., but only on the fifteenth and thirtieth of each month can they enter the village, and at other times, all affairs are either done by themselves, or find a way to find someone to do.
This is what Lu Er told the two recruits, although this rule is almost useless, but every year there are always unlucky people who lose their lives here.
It is said that it is a fictitious thing, not that there are always people secretly Chen Cang, but that most of the people in the village choose to take care of all the trivial things when they hit the grass valley, and there are few good people and stupid thieves who come here, and they all know how to choose the most appropriate and advantageous. As for some of the goods that are too self-confident and have to affect the big guys, they have never lived long.
These are all general remarks made by Lu E at the dinner table, but Liu Tugou and Yang Xiongji have all memorized them.
After having a simple lunch with Lu Er's master and servant, Liu Tugou and Yang Xiongji already had a rough idea in their hearts. After the two went out, they searched for a long time, and finally brought out the quartermaster of the Third Banner, who was full of wine and brains, from a certain wine jar.
This guy was almost drunk and unconscious, and it was easy to open his eyes and quote the price in a daze, but it was extremely smooth, and he didn't put the arrogant Yang Xiongji in his eyes at all.
After listening carefully, the second master asked a few more questions, and finally knew why the people in the village were keen to play grass valleys. It is really difficult to pass the mountain road, and I want to have more capital to survive, and the soldiers, horses, and vegetarian diet are not sloppy at all, and I am afraid that I will starve to death only by relying on meager military salaries.
Fortunately, Liu Tugou is not short of money at the moment, so he directly ordered meat and forage for the next month, and asked the other party to find someone to do a few sets of changes according to his own clothing style, and the color was also dyed black according to local customs, and he bought some tables, chairs, bedding, pots and pans, in the words of the second master, so that he had a safe look at the grass.
Seeing the real money, this guy naturally agreed, saying that although he could buy two copies of goods for one copper plate and one hundred copper plates, he would never dare to cheat the hard-earned money of the brothers.
Yang Xiongji immediately gave the noisy profiteer in the army a big mouth, and then threw a big gold ingot to the other party, saying that the two good divine arm crossbows for our masters can only be better than those used by the guards on the wall, and immediately made the quartermaster whose mouth was already swollen to the point of speechlessness turn his anger into joy.
Liu Tugou and Yang Xiongji first arrived, after all, they were not embarrassed to rob the captain to take the stage first, originally according to the second master's intentions, the two were ready to find a quiet and unmanned courtyard in the west of the village to live, after all, they were familiar with Zhang Jinbei, and it was not good to rob his brother's house.
Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, the two of them just walked around the street for a while, and they saw an acquaintance walking towards them.
With a round face and a square nose, big ears and thick lips, narrow eyes, a lazy smile on his face, a black satin gown and trousers, a bare-chested and open-minded knife, a strange-shaped flying knife with a silver thread pinned to his belt, and a long knife behind him, the handle of the knife was bare without any decoration.
It was the black-clad sentry.
He saw the two of them from a distance, his eyes were slight, his smile suddenly became cold, and after a slight hesitation, he continued to move forward, and had a vicious face with Liu Tugou.
The second master smiled: "Which flag is the brother?"
The black-clothed sentry rolled his eyes and sneered: "It's almost, I heard that you are with Zhang San, and I am the second banner, so we can't get to know each other too well." ”
Liu Tugou grinned, in front of Zhang Jinbei, this guy was very respectful, and he dared to call "Zhang San" behind his back.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang Qi, why are you here?"
The black-clad sentry's face changed color, and he looked back in astonishment, only to realize that there was no one behind him.
Liu Tugou took the opportunity to reach out and wanted to grab the other party's shoulder, but in the next moment, he suddenly changed his move, and a snap of his fingers clasped on the fist that the black-clothed sentry slammed into his armpit, and even a silver cold glow appeared between the fingers of the fist.
The black-clothed sentry who missed the blow smiled, followed by a kick out, and went straight to Liu Tugou's third road.
The second master bent his knees and knocked the kick back, and at the same time formed five fingers into claws, pinched the opponent's fist and threw it very casually, and threw this very strong man away.
The black-clothed sentry flew in the air, twisting his body several times, but he could not remove the strange force exerted on his whole body, as if all his bones had fallen apart.
Syllable!
This guy was slapped flat on the ground like a sack, making a muffled sound, and Yang Xiongji's eyebrows jumped, and he said in his heart that the second brother's claw skills were really wonderful and domineering.
Liu Tugou stepped forward and squatted down, picked up the collar of the black-clothed sentry, and said with a smile: "I see that you are quite rich, and you must be living well, let's go, take the men to take a look!"
Yang Xiongji's conscience was not clear, and he couldn't bear to say: "Second brother, it's not good to block the street and cut the path?"
Second Master Liu glanced at this guy and said disdainfully: "Which eye did you see that the second brother and I robbed?" Obviously, I had a good discussion with this brother. By the way, what's your name, brother?"
The black-clothed sentry guard was smashed, his long and narrow eyes were bloodshot, and he said stiffly: "The second flag Sangyuan is me, Lao Tzu's courtyard is big, and it is nothing to take you two in, I am afraid that you will not dare to live...... Dare to break ground on the second flag, it's really boring!"
"Good man, if I don't show it, won't I let down your iron bones?"
Yang Xiongji smiled angrily, stretched out his huge palm like a fan, and gave this guy a big mouth with all his strength, and immediately let him follow in the footsteps of the quartermaster of the Third Banner, but this time not only did he not give gold and silver, but he also occupied this guy's house.
This slap was extremely hard and heavy, but it also knocked Sang Yuan back to his soul. He suddenly found that he could move, and struggled to get up, but he neither ran away nor fought back, but slowly moved his steps, and said as he walked: "Go, don't you want to rob Lao Tzu's house to live in, just dig a pit for the two of you in the yard!"
This guy is also a bachelor, Liu Tugou and Yang Xiongji glanced at each other, both of them had strange expressions, Rao is second master is inspiration is transparent, Yang Xiongji is rough appearance is as careful as a hair, and he did not feel a trace of anger and resentment from Sang Yuan, and even this guy was extremely calm from beginning to end.
It is precisely because he is too calm that there are clues that reveal his true state of mind.
Liu Tugou couldn't help but be interested, and only then did he talk to Lu E about the Demon Gate, and immediately met a very suspicious character, and he happened to see it.
Is the so-called severance of emotion the basis of seeking the Tao, or is it really embarking on an evil path?
Sang Yuan's residence was not in the east of the village, where the second banner was gathered, but in a courtyard in the west of the main street in the village, similar to Lu E's, with a backyard with a stable.
The white horse Ah Wei and the green cow Ah Mei would never be in the same groove as the mortal horses, and the sturdy green-maned horse that was originally raised in them, together with the horse owner Sang Yuan himself, moved out very simply, and did not dig a pit for the two as they clamored before.
Ah Mei is the nickname of the snowhoof green mantis beast, God knows why Yang Xiongji gave such a charming name to the demon beast full of sharp teeth, it is obviously a male, not to mention that in the eyes of the second master, it is not much stronger than Ah Qing who took it before.
Here is a small detail to mention, I don't know what method the little medicine boy used to abandon the disease, he can really bring the white horse and the green ox to the stable to graze, no matter how you look at it, the Lingxiu boy should be more in line with the taste of the two-headed monster than the grass.
Anyway, the two of them were so almost childish in the first village to settle down as officers and soldiers.
