Chapter 58: The Magic of Love
Following the signs on the map, the two quickly found Mashi. And with Zhang Song's silver ticket, he bought a good horse. Then, the two hurried to Mayi County non-stop.
Mayi County is located outside Yanmen Pass. From a strategic point of view, it was a buffer zone between the Sui and the Turks.
The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty could drive straight into the Turkic hinterland. Retreat can be stationed at Yanmen Pass, there is a danger to defend. The Turkic cavalry, which came and went like the wind, would often "visit" this place and take the opportunity to plunder.
In addition, because of its special geographical location, Shanyang, where the county is located, has become a place where nomadic culture and farming culture collide.
As early as the Warring States Period, Qin and Han dynasties, from Yanmen Pass in the south to Kill Tiger Pass in the north, people walked out of a "Mayi Ancient Road". The ancient road extends from the south to the north, forming the main communication artery between the Central Plains and the desert, as well as Central Asia and Europe, and maintaining a smooth flow similar to the Silk Road.
Therefore, although this place is threatened by war all the time, there is still an endless stream of businessmen coming and going.
In addition, because of the declaration of war of Shabalu Khan, Yang Jian transferred a large number of troops and generals to the border between the two countries. This has improved the local security environment a lot. However, most of the soldiers' time was spent on building the Great Wall.

All the way to the whip, within three days, Zheng Hao and Yu Wenxian came to Shanyang.
Feel the tension. The two people who have been isolated from the world for a long time, you look at me, I look at you, looking at the second monk who is confused. But the two of them were not here, and they didn't dwell too much on the matter.
Just in case, Zheng Hao quietly put on the mask given by Lilushuang. After accepting the strict examination at the city gate, he entered the city smoothly.
Soon the two found the code left by Sun Simiao. I followed the sign all the way to a broken grass house.
I saw a familiar figure, sitting on a stool in front of the door, holding two walnuts in his hand, leisurely looking into the distance.
"You're really leisurely, is this journey going well? Seeing the other party's appearance, Zheng Hao smiled heartily and greeted him.
Ah San looked at the person who came, and there was no fluctuation on his face. picked up the kettle on the side, poured a glass of water for Zheng Hao, and said flatly: "There is no danger." ”
Zheng Hao first took off the mask on his face. Then he stretched out his hand, snatched the kettle directly from Ah San's hand, raised his head, and drank it.
"Vulgar. Looking at the tea that kept flowing from the corners of Zheng Hao's mouth, Ah San scolded with a smile.
Zheng Hao didn't care at all, and after drinking half full, he was satisfied and handed the kettle back to Ah San.
But Ah San didn't reach out to pick it up, Zheng Hao had to smile awkwardly and put the kettle back on the table.
Looking at the empty room behind Ah San, Zheng Hao asked with a strange face, "What about them?"
"Miss followed Sun Simiao to the clinic, and Han Zhong went to find Dharma. Han Tiexin went on an errand. ”
"Errand?"
"Well, it's not easy for this kid. A person brought a second fool and came here without relatives and no support. Fortunately, he was lucky, and he was appreciated by the guards and recruited him into the army. barely got enough food and clothing. Ah San said with a sympathetic face while picking out the earwax.
"Oh? That really hurt him. ”
Zheng Hao glanced at the clean and tidy, but also shabby and dilapidated housing conditions. He smiled and said, "There is one thing that is not worth talking about. ”
Ah San gently blew away the dirt stuck in his nails, and said, "Hmm...... Say, I'll listen. ”
"Ah San...... What about your money?" Zheng Hao's eyes widened, his forehead was bruised, and he roared with a red face.
Ah San turned his head slightly and gently wiped the saliva from his face. It was like looking at the eyes of the mentally retarded, and he looked at Zheng Hao with contempt.
"Do you think I'm here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, don't I? I dare to mention money to Lao Tzu? Grandpa, I can escape completely, and I am already an ancestor who has accumulated virtue. Ah San rarely had a trace of anger and sprayed wildly at Zheng Hao.
Zheng Hao raised his neck back, dodging the splash of spittle.
He turned his head and thought about it, it was indeed his own loss, his momentum plummeted in an instant, and he said in a low voice: "Lao Tie...... Don't get excited. Ah, have you seen the 'secret recipe' I gave you? Is it useful?"
"It's okay if you don't mention it, but I'm even more angry when you mention it. What is that thing you're writing about?' Put the sand in a heat of about 1,600 degrees...... You can make glass!'"
Ah San took out the "way to make money" and read a paragraph. Angrily dangled in front of Zheng Hao, and continued to scold: "You third master and I, now I have no money, and no one else." Are you going to let me do it myself and burn this thing called glass for you?"
Looking at Ah San in the anger value report, Zheng Hao's face was full of black lines.
In fact, he Zhao'an Ah San is to use his talent to help him accumulate wealth.
But in fact, Ah San didn't say it, Zheng Hao could guess it. This journey must be very dangerous, otherwise Ah San would not have scattered all his family wealth to arrive here safely.
After saying good things for a long time, Ah San was not appeased. Zheng Hao had no choice but to take out the stack of silver tickets from his arms and hand them over.
Ah San closed his mouth instantly, snatched the silver ticket, and skillfully lit it.
"One thousand taels, it's still a good job. Although Ah San was still unrelenting, his face was still full of light, and he lit the silver ticket again.
Looking at Ah San's miser's appearance, Zheng Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a serious face: "This money can be regarded as the capital for you to start a business." As soon as possible, you can organize some trustworthy people, find a secret place, and make glass. Remember, for each step, you have to assign different people to do it. Remember, don't let others learn the craft. I'm going to make money with this in the future. ”
"Just some broken sand, can you still burn gold?" Ah San folded the silver ticket in his hand and put it in his arms. Looking at Zheng Hao's gloomy face, he said flatly: "I know, I'll do things, don't worry." So how do you want to price it?"
"I don't understand this, you can just look at it. In addition, if you think of a way, it is best to set up channels for export sales. I hope you can create a financial giant who is as rich as the country. ”
Ah San rolled his eyes, as if he was a little resistant to such a troublesome thing. But after a while, a smile appeared on his face, and his eyes nodded sharply at Zheng Hao.
"Young master!"
Han Zhong's cry interrupted the two of them looking at each other with "affection".
Yuwen Yan turned his head and looked at Han Zhong who was in tears. A trace of tears flashed in his eyes.
The master and servant hugged affectionately, and they were speechless for a while.
Ah San took the aside, and Dharma, who had not yet recovered, walked into the house.
Looking at Han Zhong, who was ruddy, Yuwen Yan said with relief: "Uncle Han, are you fully recovered?"
Han Zhong wiped away the tears on his face, choked up and said, "Doctor Sun is really a god, not only cured my new injury, but even helped me treat the stubborn disease that has plagued me for many years. ”
Zheng Hao looked at Han Zhong curiously, a saber without a handle at his waist, and asked suspiciously, "Uncle Han, what's your knife...... I don't have a handle. ”
Han Zhong laughed, only to see that he took off the prosthetic leg of his right hand, revealing the brace on his arm. Hearing only a soft sound, Han Zhong pulled out the saber at his waist.
Looking at the exquisite design of the arm and the long knife as one, Zheng Hao asked in surprise: "This knife is ......?"
"Yes, it's the 'mad knife' that you captured before, young master. After the transformation of the girl, now the old man and I can use knives again. With that, Han Zhong danced the long knife in his hand vigorously.
"Master......"
With Sun Simiao's exclamation, Lilushuang bit her lower lip, tears in her eyes, and kept turning in circles.
Yu Wenyan's gaze was attracted by Sun Simiao's shout, but he was frozen in place by the figure of Lilushuang.
Feeling the big brother on the side, he was "fixed" by love again, Zheng Hao sighed helplessly. smiled and said to Sun Simiao: "Eh, my good apprentice." During the days when the teacher was away, did you study hard? ”
Sun Simiao nodded vigorously, took out a booklet full of books from the medicine box he carried, and handed it over.
"Okay, I know you're working hard, I don't have to look at it. Zheng Hao hurriedly stopped it.
"It's good to be close to the girl. Taking advantage of the gap between the two of them talking, Yuwen Yan hurriedly took over the right to speak, and asked Lilushuang affectionately.
"Okay, you're back. Lilushuang listened to Yuwen's clumsy language, and unexpectedly returned.
Zheng Hao was full of black lines, looking at the two people who were close at hand, and he didn't even have anyone in his eyes to talk about love. For the first time, he felt that he had become the brightest "light bulb" in the night sky.
"Hey, you're almost there. Can you consider the feelings of the bystanders, is it okay?" Zheng Hao secretly transmitted the voice to Yuwen Xuan.
But what he didn't expect was that Yuwen Yan not only didn't take care of him, but intensified his efforts and hugged Lilushuang.
Li Lushuang didn't resist, gently hugged Yuwen Yan, and leaned his head on the other party's shoulder.
Feeling the warmth in his arms, Zheng Hao didn't react for a long time, and he always felt that it was not a taste in his heart.
