Chapter 517: Couple settles the accounts clearly
Lu Chenxing did not doubt Gu Liubai's identity as he told him.
The Lu family of Fanyang is a family among the banned marriage in the Tang Dynasty.
In his opinion, the young master of the Lu family in Fanyang should naturally have such ability.
Listening to Zhou Tianxia's words, he looked at Gu Liubai and warned seriously, "Young Master Lu, although Qilian Canglan does not serve in the army, she has privileges in the army and can mobilize troops. Moreover, she has won many practitioners over the years. If you go to Famen Temple, then Famen Temple will not only be able to tell the dragon and tiger den, but you will also face her tracking and intercepting along the way at the same time."
Gu Liubai looked calm and said, "She and Shengying are so cold. It seems that it is not because of her husband-wife relationship with Shengying?"
Lu Chenxing shook his head and said, "I don't know this."
Zhou Tianxia said: "It was already like this when Zheng Zhu was there, maybe because she has won many practitioners."
Gu Liubai nodded slowly.
He was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I don't know if you can understand. In your opinion, some of the favors you have received in the past come from the support of the generals above and from the care of Yuchi Dian and others. But have you ever thought that Yuchi Dian and others were just ministers of the Tang Dynasty after all, and the military pay they had in the past also came from the Tang Dynasty, not from themselves. Perhaps someone among them had special care for you, but this should not be a reason to deviate from the Tang Dynasty. And to be honest, let alone Yuchi Dian, even Sheng Ying and even Zheng Zhu are just chess pieces on some people's chessboards. Think less about personal grievances, think more about the major affairs of the country, and think about such a prosperous era. If we want to maintain it, how should we deal with ourselves."
Lu Chenxing smiled bitterly. He felt that it would be meaningless to think about this principle at this time.
However, what he and Zhou Tianxia did not expect was that Gu Liubai waved his hand and said, "You two will go. If you want your two families to be unrelated, don't rely on me. You two will rely on yourself. You two will agree on the same statement, and you will say that you have tried your best to stop us from escaping. Or you will chase this river and there are ambush waiting for you. Anyway, it's okay. You two have agreed to get through the investigation above. "
Zhou Tianxia also looked at Gu Liubai in disbelief, and she was a little suspicious of her ears.
Gu Liubai smiled faintly, took two oars from the boat, handed them to Shangguan Zhaoyi, and said, "Whether fighting or killing people, it's all for this battle. Since I have learned what I want to know, why do I have to kill you two?"
Shangguan Zhaoyi smiled and said to the two of them, "See you again if you are destined to be together."
Then he and Gu Liubai left on the bamboo raft.
The bamboo raft floated out ten feet before Zhou Tianxia came to her senses and said, "Are you afraid that we will leak the news?"
Gu Liubai waved his hands at her and Lu Chenxing and said, "It's better to leak it out, so that Qilian Canglan didn't come when we arrived at Famen Temple. It would be better to deal with her earlier."
Lu Chenxing couldn't help but scream, "Do you still want to go to Famen Temple?"
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "Even if I die, people like me can arouse countless young talents to go on one after another. I die so valuable. If I succeed, my name will be included in the history books, and I will make a lot of money."
Hearing such words, Zhou Tianxia felt even more ashamed. She suddenly remembered something and shouted, "You must be careful. I heard that Qilian Canglan is completely inhumane."
"Is that right?" Gu Liubai suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at Zhou Tianxia and laughed, "I like this kind of unmannered opponent the most, so I'll ask you something about it."
...
In the early morning, Duanjia Town was bustling.
Duanjia Town is one of the big towns where merchants gather in Fufeng County. In an alley next to several inns in the town, there are more than a dozen shops that sell various food in the morning.
A medicinal merchant who came from Hechijun Water Road finished a basket of steamed buns and wiped his mouth with satisfaction, took out eight copper coins and placed them on the table. As soon as he got up, he was stopped by a guy who nodded and bowed. "Callant, you can't eat for nothing."
The medicinal merchant's face was full of beard and tall. He was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this. He glared at him, which was scary. "You guy's eyes are used to vent your anger. Didn't you see that Tongzier was already on the table?"
But the guy smiled and said without a smile, "That's just the money for steaming buns, you ate twelve of them."
"What did you say?" The medicinal merchant was stunned and immediately cursed, "What a joke? A bun in other places is bigger than your bun in total, and it only has six copper coins. You, a bun that is a little bigger than your thumb, costs eight copper coins. This guy is working in the shop for the first time. Are you looking for happiness with me?"
The guy still smiled and said, "Customer, you set the price before entering the door. No matter how big it is, you have to set the price after eating it. If you don't believe it, just look at the sign at the door. It's okay to be illiterate and you're well drawn."
The medicinal merchant walked to the door and looked at the sign on the right, and his face turned dark.
There was a basket of steamed buns on the wooden sign, a small bun was painted below, and eight copper coins were painted next to it.
But just that, who can imagine that a small bun costs eight copper coins?
Where is such a price?
Unexpectedly, the guy smiled and said in front of him, "I don't know what the price is in other places, but my shop is only at this price. You must know that the chef in my shop was invited from Luoyang, and the kneading method is different from that of ordinary people. You see, you have a good meal. Can you eat twelve steamed buns from other places?"
The medicinal material merchant's face turned green with anger.
There are only one steamed bun in other places that can be used as one of these twelve steamed buns. Who can eat twelve steamed buns that are as big as twelve?
"Are you a black shop?" The medicinal material merchant just shouted, and the guy who had been smiling suddenly changed his face, "Can you want to fight?"
The medicinal material merchant felt that he was inappropriate and was about to shout that you had the affair to hit me, but at this moment, a person not far away shouted, "Misunderstanding and misunderstanding! Lao Qin, give me money."
The medicinal materials merchant was stunned. The person he called at him was his fellow villager Lin Cuishan, who also works in the medicinal materials business. There is a shop in this Duanjia Town. In the past two days, he went to nearby villages to collect medicinal materials, which was the way Lin Cuishan led him.
He was still stunned, but Lin Cuishan was already running over, afraid that he would still be stubborn, so he took out his purse to pay for him.
This scene immediately calmed the medicinal merchant down. He felt that this shop was extraordinary.
After Lin Cuishan paid the copper coins, he said something wrong to the mate. Then he quickly pulled the medicinal merchant away. After walking dozens of steps, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had a cold sweat on his forehead. "Old Qin, it's my fault, I forgot to tell you. This shop must not enter. The owner of this shop is called Wen Hesheng, and he is the god brother of Sheng Ying's wife Qilian Canglan. This shop specializes in bullying unfamiliar foreigners. It would be even more amazing if he took action. Qilian Canglan's mother is called Qilian Qingqiong, and her mother is called Duan Aichen. Duan... is the Duan family of our Duan Family Town. If it is normal, it will at most extort you a lot of money, but these days it is very likely that they will be sent to the county directly and cut it directly, and you can still receive a bounty."
The medicinal merchant's face suddenly turned white and his whole body was trembling.
This Duanjia Town is so lively and looks peaceful. Who would have thought that there is such a danger hidden in it?
At noon, a middle-aged woman and a young man passed by the shop where the medicinal merchant was eating steamed buns. At this time, the menu sign next to the door of the shop had changed to noon, and there were all kinds of fish fresh.
The middle-aged woman glanced at the young man, "Let's eat here?"
The young man smiled and after entering the shop, he said to the guy inside, "If you have any special dishes, just bring them to us."
As soon as he saw Haoke, the guy immediately put on his signature smile and didn't smile, and soon served eight dishes.
Young men and middle-aged women don’t bother too much, they just eat.
There were a few dishes that were not suitable for their appetite, and they were directly removed and changed into two more.
After eating and drinking, the young man and the middle-aged woman stood up and walked out. The guy was stunned and said, "Two guests stay, who will check the bill?"
The young man smiled and said, "We eat something for free, so we still need to check out?"
...
In a quiet water, there are two pleasure boats.
These two pleasure boats seem to be used by powerful people occasionally traveling around and enjoying the water, and both look very exquisite.
In the middle of the study of one of the pleasure boats, a middle-aged man wearing a blue cloth dress sat.
The man had ordinary facial features, but he was full of heroism and had a very masculine atmosphere.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door of the study, and after getting his response, he walked in.
This is a masked man in a black suit. After coming in, he bowed deeply and then said a few words, which were not like the local dialect of any prefecture and county in the Tang Dynasty, nor were it Tubo or Goryeo.
The middle-aged man looked a little ugly. After taking a deep breath, he said, "Tell Qilian Canglan, we have no husband and wife for a long time. Due to the past relationship, I can lend her the Dark Harness Guard this time, but at this time the military situation is tight. Except for those thousands of cavalry, please tell her not to mobilize the rest of the troops. Otherwise, if the deployment is messy, I am afraid that Duke Pei will catch a loophole and lead to our army's rapid defeat. If she cannot do this, I will withdraw the Dark Harness Guard immediately."
The masked man in black uniform bowed deeply and then left the door. However, the middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Tell her that you can take revenge, and do not kill people indiscriminately to vent his anger!"
The masked man turned around again, bowed seriously, and then flew out.
...
At the Meixian Ferry, a woman in a colored skirt had just boarded the ferry when a white falcon flew down from the sky and landed on the arm of a practitioner beside her.
This practitioner is extremely burly, one head taller than a woman. Standing next to the woman, she looks like a hill.
He was carrying a wooden box in his left hand, and the wooden box was obviously the kind of wooden box specially used to store black armor.
Behind him and the woman were about a dozen people, even though they were standing still, waiting to board the ship, but when they were breathing together, some strange glow appeared faintly in the air.
The extremely burly practitioner was very respectful to the woman beside him. After the white falcon landed on his arm, he bowed slightly and extended his arm to the woman.
The woman actually has good facial features and has nothing to be picky about, but the corners of her eyes always have a kind of evil spirit that cannot be described in words, which makes her look extremely fierce.
The woman took off the copper tube from Bai Fang's feet, pulled out the dense paper inside, and after reading it several breaths, a ferocious sneer appeared on her face, "These people walked towards Sijiabao, probably already knew that the defenses in Chengguan Town were empty and there were no garrisons."
"drunkard!"
She raised her head and suddenly shouted loudly.
Among the dozen people behind, a middle-aged man with a big wine gourd on his back and a few wine gourds hanging on his waist came over.
She threw a bronze token over and said sternly, "You hurry to Hongdong Town, take the thousand cavalry away, cross the river directly from the ferry crossing there, pass through Wujing Town, and go around Chengguan Town."
The middle-aged man put away the bronze token, took a dark yellow gourd from his waist, took a few sips, squirted out a sip of alcohol, and then began to run along the river.
