After entering the city, Guan Lueti asked Hu Beicong, "Brother Hu, where did Brother Mu go? Why didn't you see him?"

Hu Beicong smiled and said, "Mr. Mu went south to work on the oasis and will not be able to come back within ten days!" Guan Luetti laughed and pointed at Hu Beicong with his finger, looking at him suddenly enlightened, but he didn't say anything more.

After everyone followed Hu Beicong into the city, they found that the buildings in the earthen city were also very dilapidated, but they could barely live in it. The residential area in the city was also dilapidated. It was not as easy to have such a place to live in this desert. The city was better than outside the city, with a little green color, and you could see some plants and plants. There were several wells in the city to solve the water source problem of the people in the city.

Of course, there are also several dilapidated shops that sell daily necessities, such as pots, pans, sheepskin towels, etc., which are very worn out, but the price is quite expensive. As expected, the poorer they are, the more ghost they are. Fortunately, Tang Jiusheng and others brought their own daily necessities, all of which were in the carriage, so there was no need to buy them. Hu Beicong invited everyone into his home. Hu Beicong's home is the so-called city lord's mansion, which is the most luxurious building in the city. It is just a small broken courtyard, which is not as good as a landlord like a big merchant.

Most of the people in the caravan stayed in the stone house outside, only Guan Luetti brought two confidants and Tang Jiusheng and others to Hu Beicong's house. The house was pretty good. The patio was made of bluestone ground, and the main living room was covered with a red carpet that was not exquisite. In such a dilapidated earthen city, the red carpet was already considered palace-level. There were two maids who were not beautiful to serve tea and water to the guests. Hu Beicong ordered the maid to bring some fresh fruits and vegetables.

Following the hospitality method of Tu returning to China, everyone sat around the carpet, and each of them placed a table table. Tea and fruits were on the table table. The fat man shouted bluntly that he was hungry. Hu Beicong smiled and said, "Brother Fat, I have cooked a lot of cooked beef for you as my elder brother Guan's instructions. I heard that the fat brother has a good appetite?"

The fat man nodded and said proudly: "Fatty, I am indeed more capable than ordinary people, so I became a entourage for Brother Sheng. The Sheng family is a clan of the big merchants, and they have some money. You can eat with him to take care of your fullness!" Xiahou Lingyu couldn't help laughing when he saw the fat man's words were serious.

Soon the wine and food were served together, and it was not very rich, but it was mainly beef and mutton, and there were a few side dishes as supplements. Everyone fought fiercely with the horse bandits in the afternoon, except for Tang Jiusheng and Xiahou

Lingyu and Tie Dun all participated in the war, so they were so hungry that they all grabbed beef and had a lot of fun eating the mutton. The wine at the meal was made of rice wine made by Tucheng, which tasted pretty good, and everyone drank a few bowls.

After three rounds of drinking, Guan Luetti looked at Fatty, Tang Jiusheng and others and asked with a smile: "Brothers and several brothers have such good martial arts skills. Don't you want to stay in Tuhui Country? With the martial arts skills of several people, if you can stay in my caravan, you can earn at least tens of thousands of dollars a year. Moreover, when we Tuhui Country, people with martial arts have a very high status. If you do well, the government can also pay for money, which is equivalent to gaining fame and fortune. Do you want to stay?"

The fat man waved his hand and said disdainfully: "As soon as Fatty Master entered, you suddenly returned to the country, you found that there are many troublemakers who have returned to the country, who have poor mountains and rivers! Even if you have tens of thousands of silver in your hand, where can you spend it? Just like on the road today, I suddenly met a bandit. Fortunately, Fatty Master is stronger in martial arts, otherwise he would have been chopped up! How much silver can I spend? Just like in this earthen city, you can only cost two taels of silver for a broken iron pot, why don't you rob it?"

Hu Beicong glanced at Guan Lue Ting, both of them were a little embarrassed, and then they laughed together. Hu Beicong smiled and said, "Brothers don't know. It was only in the past two years that we had returned to China. When the old king was in power, his life was much better than now. It was under the governance of the new king Tiebu that horses and thieves rose up in the desert area. However, when we went to the capital ahead, the conditions were far better than here!"

The fat man shook his head and said, "Even if Da Shang Qian is not good, as long as he follows Brother Sheng, he can always be an official. Fat man, I don't know much about literacy. As long as he follows Brother Sheng, he will sooner or later have a lieutenant and a captain. It's hard to say that he will return to China suddenly!" The fat man raised his neck, drank a bowl of rice wine, and grabbed a piece of beef and chewed it.

Hu Beicong said again: "Brother Fat, you are wrong! You Da Shang said, "What do you mean by a chicken than a queen! With your ability, you can be more than a lieutenant when you return to the country. At least you can be a general. As a general in a city and a town, isn't it better to be a lieutenant? When we return to the country, the military officers are stronger and more powerful than military officers. Many cities have generals who serve as generals!"

The fat man wondered: "What kind of fun is Guancheng Eunuch?"

Guan Luetti explained: "We suddenly returned to the country without a county magistrate. The officials of the county magistrate have all Guancheng envoys in big cities and small cities. The Guancheng envoys in big cities are equivalent to the county magistrate of your Da Shang, and the Guancheng envoys in small cities are equivalent to the county magistrate of your Da Shang! You want

Can you be a city envoy? Is it better to be a captain in Da Shang or a captain? You are the actual lord of a city. In Da Shang's words, you are called a local emperor and can do whatever you want in a city!"

Tang Jiusheng frowned and said nothing, nor did he drink. Guan Lue asked Tang Jiusheng, "Young Master Sheng, why don't you eat or drink anymore? Isn't your son hungry? Or are our wine and food not rich enough? Oh, please forgive me, our poor and remote areas, it would be great to have a bite of food! When I arrive at the oasis in front, I will take good care of my son. There are brothels and beautiful girls there, which is enough to comfort the son's loneliness!"

Hu Beicong laughed loudly on the water and said with a lewd look on his face: "If Mr. Sheng doesn't dislike him, although Ayu and Ah Hong in my family are not beautiful, they can be used! But I think Mr. Sheng is from a great merchant family, you may not look down on such a woman!"

Tang Jiusheng said without hesitation: "You are right. I really don't like your maid! Since I have come, do we have to say something explicitly?" Tang Jiusheng picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

Guan Luetti was surprised and forced a smile and said, "Young Master Sheng seems to have something in your words? You have helped me a lot on the way. You are my benefactor and good friend. If you have anything to say to Mr. Sheng, please tell me clearly! You don't have to be polite! Even if you need gold and silver, I, Guan Luetti, will do my best to provide it to the young master!"

Tang Jiusheng nodded, put down the wine bowl, and said blankly: "Guan Lueti, Hu Beicong, you honestly, are you horse thieves? What happened to us when we met that group of horse thieves today?"

Guan Luetti and Hu Beicong looked at each other, and they laughed together. Guan Luetti nodded, stroked his beard and said, "Young Master Sheng is indeed a smart person, I admire you! Well, in front of the bright person, I don't say secret words, Brother Hu and I are indeed both from horse thieves! Now this Tucheng is one of our strongholds. I don't usually come to Tucheng. This time, the situation is really special. When we robbed, we met Tie Chengsi's troops. The other party seemed to be prepared and wanted to eat us!"
