011 Night into Yi County
The more than 200 soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom in Taibaiding were not brought by Shi Dakai from the south, but an army that was dispersed after the failure of the Northern Expedition of Heaven. At that time, General Liu Lang, a gray-bearded man, was the highest among these soldiers. During the melee, he even brought a large number of military salaries from the Northern Expedition Army and fled to the depths of the Taihang Mountains to hide, waiting for the Kingdom of Heaven to make another northern expedition.
As a result, Graybeard and the others did not wait for the arrival of the Northern Expedition Army, but waited for their former boss, Shi Dakai, who was pretending to die and concealed his reputation.
Back then, the Northern Expedition Army was the elite of Tianping Heavenly Kingdom. They attacked cities and villages, opened warehouses and released grain to kill corrupt officials and destroyed gentry, and accumulated a large amount of military capital. Not only did they have a large amount of gold and silver, but many of them were rare treasures, pearls, jade, agate, and various antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Now presenting to Xiao Letian is a huge mountain of shining gold. The ground is full of exquisitely made gold, silver, and jade. Coral trees more than one foot high are leaning against the corner of the wall. Bunches of pearls pouring on the ground and rolling around. The calligraphy and paintings in the porcelain jar in the corner are definitely not ordinary things. Updated at the first time
"There are military funds brought by Liu Lang and others, as well as treasures I secretly transported from the south. I secretly set up thirteen holy warehouses like this in the Qing Dynasty..." Shi Dakai seemed to be talking about other people's property, and his tone was as plain as water.
"Since property needs to be secretly transferred across mountains and rivers, things like silver and copper coins can only be given up. The current holy database is the essence of the holy database of the old kingdom of heaven. Every treasure can be said to be priceless... It's a pity that it's too difficult to cash out..."
Shi Dakai opened a Tang Bohu's erotic palace and sneered, "The rich men in Jiangnan love to praise these vulgar paintings such as Tang Bohu. If I hadn't been able to exchange for some money, I would have burned it long ago..." After that, he threw it directly into the corner.
Oh, I feel sorry for me. You are a moral gentleman, but I am not. I love this one, brother. Xiao Letian quickly took Tang Bohu's original work. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
When Xiao Letian was deeply immersed in his fantasy of the Ming Dynasty's urban life, Shi Dakai pushed him, "Military advisor! Military advisor? I ask you, what treasure do you want to bring down the mountain?"
"Ah? Oh... That's right. The prince should have some understanding of the market price of these treasures. Help me find some easy-to-carry treasures worth nearly 110,000 taels. I want to take them down the mountain. After saying that, he handed the scroll of spring palace to his personal soldiers who served him. "This painting is good, I like it, let it in my study..."
Cough cough cough, Shi Dakai was so upset that he didn't choke his saliva to death. He thought to himself that people from overseas were so casual? Even if he wanted to do this, he would tell me secretly. Why did he just want it in front of the soldiers so carelessly? This is not about reputation.
As expected, foreigners all eat raw beef and do not know how to cultivate themselves. If they don’t work, I must persuade the military advisor more. At a young age, you should not be too greedy for beauty.
"Prince! Prince?" This time it was Xiao Letian's turn to push him. "Ah? Ah... I'm sorry, Xiao Wang lost his composure... I'll think about the treasure that the sir wants.
"Things like antique calligraphy and painting are indeed of high value, but only those who know the knowledgeable will buy them at a high price. It is not easy to make a quick move. Now let's think of some solutions from things like gold, pearls and jade treasures..."
Xiao Letian and Shi Dakai chose an hour in the treasure house. Finally, under the protection of three personal soldiers arranged by Shi Dakai, they rushed to Yi County. The first time was updated
It took two days to go from Taibaiding to Yixian County, even if you are lightly equipped, Xiao Letian headed straight to Yixian County with the fake braids prepared by the counterfeit cottage and forged identity documents prepared for him.
When Xiao Letian arrived at Yixian County, it was already the next evening. Two veterans with smoke on their faces at the west gate of the city had begun to drive away the people who had finally entered and left the city, and the gate was about to close.
"Oh, we have to keep it off right away..." Xiao Letian's equestrian is definitely entry-level. He said he ran quickly but ran around but was still in the last place.
The three personal soldiers Xiao Letian brought out were all elite soldiers selected by Shi Dakai. They were not only skilled in archery and horses, but also clever, but most importantly, they were all literate. The young man who led the lead was named Xiao Hexin. When he saw that the city gate was about to close, he quickly rode his horse and rushed to the front.
The scene of the tall horse charging at full speed was indeed shocking. The big horse's hooves trampled on the official road and the dust was flying. The villagers who were approaching even felt the earth shaking, and they were so scared that they hurried to hide.
The two old soldiers looked back and were startled. If it weren't for the fact that there were only four horses coming, they would have thought the county town had been attacked. "Who is the visitor? Didn't you see that the city gate is closed? Hurry up and go to the tavern outside the city to fight for tomorrow..." Before he could finish his words, Huang Chengcheng rolled and flew over, blocking his mouth in an instant.
Xiao Letian saw that Xiao Hexin didn't even get off the horse, but just whispered a few words with the two veterans. Then he closed the city gate with only one crack and opened again. This time, even if Xiao Letian walked past the two veterans, no one asked him any nonsense. Updated as soon as possible
It was not until the four of them turned the corner that Xiao Letian asked in a low voice, "Didn't the Qing Dynasty all check the road guide? We four of us were not people with fame at first sight, and they just put us in so easily?" Xiao Letian's question made sense. Unless you had fame and fortune, you could not leave your own hometown easily. No one cared about you in your own county. Once you need to cross the prefectures and counties, you must go to the county government to open the road guide.
Xiao Letian remember that before leaving, the copywriter on the mountain forged a road guide for the four of them, but he didn't see Xiao Hexin just now and went out.
"Hey... my good sir, aren't the rules in the world formulated for ordinary people who have no money and power? The road guide system is the iron law of the king for those people, but..." Xiao Hexin patted the bulging money bag on his waist and smiled, "Do you still have to talk about the king's law when you have money? This rotten Qing Dynasty should have perished long ago..."
Xiao Letian was stunned at the time. He didn't expect that Xiao Hexin was so bold and dared to say such a ruthless thing on the street? But when he looked around, the few people on the street were all numb, as if they had been destroyed by life and had become puppets. Such people would not care about what others said at all. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"Don't worry, sir, have you seen the big pot in front of you? That's what our prince put in the county. This street has long been our territory..."
When I walked to the front of the store, the plaque said five big words "Erliang Burning Pot Shop". Before I entered the door, the guy had already lifted the curtain and bowed to salute, "Four old customers, I have invited you upstairs..." This voice was so exciting that I couldn't mention the enthusiasm revealed from the inside out, which was not comparable to the etiquette lady in the star-rated hotel in the past, who showed her eight teeth and smiled.
The ordinary big roast pot restaurant can be opened into a two-story building, which shows that the boss is rich and powerful. It seems that the Tianguo intelligence department has sufficient funds! Xiao Letian carried his robe upstairs. As soon as he entered the private room, he sat in the shopkeeper of the roast pot restaurant and the waiter followed him. He knelt down and kowtow without saying a word.
"Please pay tribute to the military advisor...Please pay tribute to the prince..." The fat shopkeeper lowered his voice, kowtowed three times, and then waved his hand to bring the meal prepared early, and the table was filled with seven plates and eight bowls.
"Don't blame the military advisor. I only received a letter from a copycat flying pigeon yesterday afternoon. Time is tight and I didn't prepare anything good. I just entered a pair of black bear paws last month and could barely catch my eyes..." As he spoke, a large porcelain plate was brought up, and a pair of steaming steamed bear paws were served directly.
Xiao Letian was stunned at that time. This evil feudal dynasty did not have animal protection laws? It was really unfortunate that this poor black bear was born into this dynasty. It was an unfortunate miserable thing. It was updated as soon as possible. Although Xiao Letian was stinky in his heart, the saliva at the corner of his mouth and the greedy gaze in his eyes betrayed him. Although he had eaten a lot of high-end dishes in his previous life, he had no blessing in disguise of the bear paw, known as the leader of the mountain delicacies.
"Brother Xiong! Brother Xiong, don't blame me for eating your pair of palms. When I take power, I will be the first to promulgate the animal protection law. I will protect you first..." As he spoke, Xiao Letian took the fresh bear meat with chopsticks and got into his mouth.
Xiao Letian loves to play tricks, which is well known in the parable. Xiao Hexin and others had seen it long ago when he was talking about storytelling, and also knew that the military advisors like to say a few strange words that no one could understand. For example, the swearing words "Your sister" have become a popular saying on Taibai's top. Once people have some small conflicts, they will be filled with the voice of your sister.
Xiao Hexin and the others had been used to it for a long time, but they had never seen the fat shopkeeper and the friend before. They thought they had been soaking carefully for a day and a night, and then used wild ginseng and pigeon soup to simmer for a long time. The black bear paws that were not as good as the military advisor's taste. At that time, sweat appeared on the fat shopkeeper's forehead.
No wonder he misunderstood. Now Xiao Letian has closed his eyes and an extremely strange expression on his face, as if he is about to have a stomachache.
It's delicious, it's so delicious to your sister. This gum-filled taste is full of gelatin, and a strange fragrance that I have never felt before lingering in my throat. At that moment, Xiao Letian felt that his tongue was wrapped in a strong gum, as if it was about to melt with this delicacy.
For three minutes, Xiao Letian didn't come to his senses at all. When he opened his eyes again, he found that the fat shopkeeper was kneeling on the ground again, and was accusing him of sweating.
"Don't blame the military advisor. The villain will definitely get the white bear paw for the military advisor next time. The last time I will also get the authentic black bear paw of the old forest in the northeast. Today is really too hasty..."
"Ah?" Xiao Letian was stunned at that time. I was just savoring it. Why did you kneel down? Wait! From what you mean, the bear paw I ate is not the most delicious, but there are even better ones? Be good, it is said that there was a shortage of supplies in ancient times. In fact, it was just that compared to the poor, for rich people, feudal dynasties were paradise.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the concept of hierarchy was deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even Shi Dakai only ate and lived with the officers and soldiers during the war. In the period when there was no war, Shi Dakai's life was extremely luxurious.
In the eyes of ancient people, it is already an out of reach for a person to be a king. Xiao Letian can be on par with the Wing King, so his noble status is naturally unexplainable. In the eyes of the fat shopkeeper, he used a pair of black bear paws sold by ordinary caravans to treat guests to the truth. To be honest, it is really rude.
When he heard that the military advisor was not angry at all, the fat shopkeeper was moved and almost cried. "The military advisor is really a bodhisattva. It's a pity that Yi County is small. It's too late to transfer goods from Baoding. Military advisor. Don't worry, I will send a quick horse to the table from Baoding to transfer the eight treasures on the table tomorrow.
In Xiao Letian's eyes, he really didn't feel what the so-called "Shangbazhen" is like. At this time, his attention had already focused on the courtyard wall across the street outside the window. Under Xiao Hexin's introduction, there was the Fan Family Guangde section in Yi County, where Fan Jiangui and Hu Niu lived.
Just as Xiao Letian was eating and drinking, thinking about how to meet Manager Fan tomorrow, the sky was completely dark. According to the foreigners' hour, it was already around 8:30.
Just as Xiao Letian swept across the darkness across the street from the corner of his eyes, a surprised figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Two figures actually came out of the backyard wall of Guangde. After careful observation, they were two women.
