"Hey, that guy on the roadside, where did you get the animal skin you carried?"

When Yuan Xi heard someone ask, he turned his head and looked at the five people who suddenly stopped in front of him and rode without speaking.

He was very confused, not knowing whether this question needs to be answered. Because he had no reason or need to tell him how his animal skin came about.

After thinking about it, he replied politely.

"Is there anything wrong? If there is nothing, I still have to hurry up!"

The man who spoke frowned, tied the reins with one hand, clamped his legs lightly, drove his horse forward a few steps, approaching the country boy dressed in coarse cloth.

He asked again condescendingly, his tone was a bit stiff.

"Don't you understand? I'm asking where your animal skin comes from?"

Yuan Xi was a little angry. He glanced at the five horses and ignored them, turned around and left.

When the man talked, he saw that the boy ignored him and felt that he was very embarrassed. He wanted to drive the horse to stop the ungrateful boy again. A person next to him stopped him.

"The fourth brother, it's because you are inappropriate to ask!"

The man named Lao Si snorted coldly and stopped talking.

He made a sound to stop the fourth man from asking Yuanxi,

"Please stay here, this young man, just now, my brother is inappropriate, so please forgive me, but I ask the young man, can you sell the tiger-skin skin you carry?"

The title of Young Hero made Yuan Xi feel funny, but he felt a little fond of this man in his heart. It was not that he was called Young Hero, but that the other party's words did not ride on the horse and looked up as he did before.

He curled his lips and thought to himself that he was a young man with hammers. Yuan Xi stopped, thought for a while, looked at the man who had already dismounted, and asked,

"How much?"

The man was amused when he heard the question. Isn’t it the one they asked? But since the boy asked, he roughly estimated it in his heart, took out a piece of silver from his body, weighed it and threw it out, and Yuanxi reached out to grab it.

"This ingot of silver is almost ten taels, enough to buy your animal skin."

Yuanxi looked carefully, rubbed it with his hand, then weighed it a few times, and threw it back.

The man grabbed it, confused, and then frowned a little. The boy was indeed a little ungrateful.

"You're not thinking it's too low? You know, the price I paid is only a lot more in Pingnan City."

Yuanxi shook her head,

"You have given too much. Also, the two animal skins behind me cannot be sold, tiger skins, and bear skins cannot be sold."

The man stretched his eyebrows, and he was an interesting boy.

Someone next to him coughed lightly. The man looked at him, nodded, and threw the silver to Yuanxi again. He smiled and said to Yuanxi who was puzzled.

"It is a gentleman who does not take advantage of others. Since the young hero with tiger skin is used by him, I only need the bear skin to be better. As for the extra silver, I should be destined to meet the young hero and leave it with the young hero to buy a small wine."

Yuanxi thought for a while, then took off the animal skin on his back, took out the bear skin, and handed it over to the man.

"You are willing, I didn't take advantage of you."

After saying that, Yuan Xi put on the tiger's skin again and turned around and walked away.

The young man who spoke at first looked at the direction of the boy leaving, wondering what he was thinking.

When everyone saw the boy leaving, they were funny. It was really an interesting person. The man holding the bear skin rubbed it, his eyes lit up, and then threw it to the person who had just coughed lightly.

"Miss, this bear skin is good, the general will definitely like it."

The woman dressed in a man glared at the man,

"Brother Zhou, didn't you say that you would call me young master outside!"

The man smiled and said, "There is no one around and he doesn't say anything."

Yuan Xi, who had not walked too far, heard the conversation between the two. He muttered in his heart, "Is it a man wearing a man's clothes?" Which man can have that smell of powder?

But there is nothing absolute. Yuan Xi is too simple and has too little knowledge. In the Great Jin Dynasty, there are really many men who like to smear, even more so than women.

He sang songs like a famous actor, and many nobles liked to listen to them. Maybe it was because he had heard too many singing by women and was tired of listening.

However, this person is a real girl, the only daughter of Lu Yiping, the garrison of Pingnan City, Lu Guanju.

Lu Guanju sneaked out to play for several days. Thinking that when he went back, he was scolded by his old father again, he thought about bringing some gifts to his father. He thought that he could say less for the gift. Wang Ji found out that there was a very powerful hunter in Qingshi Town, so they wanted to come over and try their luck to see if they could get two good animal skins for his father.

The four people accompanying him were Lu Guanju's close guard. It cannot be said that he was her close guard, but actually Lu Yiping's close guard confidant.

The five troops in Bazhou were controlled by Ziyang City, except for the main city of Ziyang City, the other three sub-cities had one route. After the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, in order to ensure the stability of the imperial power, the princes and kings of each state, except for the limited number of government troops, the rest of the defenders were controlled by the Ministry of War. The governors of each state were transferred or demoted or transferred every five years to avoid collusion with the princes and kings of this state. However, there were three states that had more military power, and half of the troops could be mobilized.

It is Liangzhou in the west, Yongzhou in the north, and Jizhou in the northeast.

Because these three states also have to resist foreign invasions.

After the incident of the change of ownership of the dragon throne in Luoyue City, the king of Yangzhou and the national teacher Huo Xingwei actually jointly controlled the two states of Yu and Yang. The princes and kings of the other states seemed to support the new emperor and support the national teacher's measures to rectify the court's principles, but in fact, most of them were ulterior motives and had the desire to compete for the world.

More than a hundred years have passed since the dynasty, and the brotherly feelings of the past have long disappeared.

Lu Yiping was born in the Qingyun Sect of Bazhou and had good martial arts qualifications, so after he finished his art, he went down the mountain and went directly to the Pingnan City defender to become a lieutenant. The garrison of Pingnan City at that time was Feng Yuan, his fellow disciple of Qingyun Sect.

A few years later, the incident of Luoyue City forcing the palace broke out. Fan Jingtian, the king of Shu in Bazhou, secretly instructed Feng Yuan, the garrison commander of Pingnan City, to help Wei Tiangang, deputy commander of the military commander of Bazhou, seized the military power of Bazhou.

Xiang Feiang, the commander of the Bazhou military commander who was originally appointed by the Ministry of War, did not resist and surrendered.

Xiang Fei'ang was in Bazhou for three years and was not unhappy with the King of Shu. However, because he was from Jingzhou and appointed by the Ministry of War, the King of Shu could not trust this person, so he did not test it and directly put it under house arrest.

Wei Tiangang and Feng Yuan swore loyalty to the King of Shu to the death, one became the general of the military and horses of Bazhou, and the other became the deputy commander.

As for Xiang Fei'ang, the King of Shu did not harm him. He not long after being under house arrest, he allowed him to return to his hometown in Jingzhou, which was a show of kindness to Xie Liangchen, King of Jiangling, Jingzhou.

After Xiang Fei'ang arrived in Jingzhou, he was appointed as the deputy general by King Jiangling, commanding the army along the way to guard Wuling City in the eastern part of Jingzhou.

The eastern part of Jingzhou is Yangzhou.

Jingzhou should not be accused of having sex with Bazhou.

Before Feng Yuan took office in Ziyang City, Lu Yiping, his fellow disciple, had been promoted to deputy general of Pingnan City by him. After he became the deputy general of Bazhou Yizhou, Lu Yiping naturally took over his position and became the guardian of Pingnan City.

Lu Yiping only has the only daughter of Lu Guanju.

When his wife was about to give birth, after the midwife congratulated him on winning a daughter, he drank all night.

But when he saw his daughter dancing with her fleshy little arms and babbling at him, his heart melted. What a son who doesn’t have a son is my seed.

He personally called the name Guan Ju. He felt that his daughter was crying or laughing in her arms, like the pleasant bird singing.

The doves are singing in the river. Fortunately, I got a daughter. What else do my husband ask for?

The nickname of Lv Guanju is Guan Guan.

The daughter is the father's close-fitting little cotton-padded jacket.

However, Lu Yiping, who was born in the army, still raised his daughter as his son. He practiced martial arts and trained soldiers and did not miss everything. As for the female worker of Huahong, Lu Yiping looked down on him.

Lu Guanju grew up in the army since she was young and often showed off her men's outfit. However, after all, she is her daughter's home, which is different from a man who is covered in stinky and sweaty.

This time, Lu Guanju sneaked out, just because she thought she was. How could Lu Yiping not know that the four guards left the camp? Besides, these four people were still there.

Just sneak out. Who else dares to attack Lu Yiping's daughter in Pingnan City?

He accompanied the four guards to make four sworn brothers. The eldest brother Zhou Bochang, the second brother Wu Zhong, the third brother Zheng Shuyuan, and the fourth brother Wang Ji.

Lu Guanju looked at the bear skin and was happy. It was indeed good. It seemed that there were also capable people in the mountain hunters. It’s a pity that the tiger skin is, and that silly boy won’t sell it.

When Lu Guanju thought of the boy just now, she felt funny in her heart, but her words were very interesting.

He handed the bear skin to Wu Zhong, and Lu Guanju said,

"Angry Angkor, look, this picture of Daddy Bear skin will definitely like it."

Wu Zhong took the bear skin and greeted Zheng Shuyuan next to him, unfolded the bear skin and looked at his appearance.

The fourth old king Ji was still angry at the boy's attitude towards him. The eldest brother Zhou Bochang greeted him,

"The fourth brother, you can hurt people in your words. We just want to buy other people's skins. If you ask where their skins come from, it's not that the boy doesn't want to pay attention to you."

Wang Ji snorted, which could be considered a whisper in his heart.

"Brother, I have no other intentions. I just saw that the boy would definitely not have the ability to fight for a tiger or a bear, so I asked casually, and he said it was hunted by his elders. I could just ask if the boy was going to sell it."

Seeing that his fourth brother's anger had calmed down, Zhou Bochang smiled.

"You, why bother to go around? After all, you look down on that young man in your heart."

Wang Ji didn't say anything. When he met by chance, he looked down on him, what would happen if he looked down on him? How could he meet him again?

Wu Zhong put away his bear skin, hung it on his horse, and looked at Lu Guanju.

"Young Master, should you continue to go to Qingshi Town or go back to the city?"

Lu Guanju tied the reins and turned the horse's head.

"Since we have bought a gift for our father, let's go back. It's too early and we can rush back to the city before dark."

The five of them turned around, waved their hands and whipped their whip, and rode their horses back to the city.

After selling the bear skin, Yuanxi continued to move forward.

After turning a corner, another group of riders passed by him. He covered his nose and hid on the side of the road, looking at the horses leaving, thinking that it would be better to ride a horse, at least to save money.
