After passing Mayi and Sangqian, go forward fifty miles and cross the Inner Great Wall. Only then can you truly enter the land of the Han Dynasty. Recently, the Xianbei and Wuhuan people in the north have been having a fierce quarrel. The Han people outside the Great Wall have tried to avoid Most of the dangers returned to the Great Wall, and only those desperate businessmen dared to risk their lives and continue doing business with the Xianbei people.
The atmosphere in the carriage was unusually depressing, and no one spoke. Wang Qiang turned to look at Long Fei from time to time, with a provocative look in his eyes. Wang Qiang always had this look in his eyes after coming from Mayi. Hua Tuo leaned against him with his eyes closed. On the carriage, he let out a long sigh: "Hey! Just ask whatever you want! I believe this little brother can explain it clearly!"
Wang Qiang didn't ask, and still looked at Long Fei with that look. Whenever Wang Qiang looked at Long Fei, Long Fei would either stick out his tongue, wink his eyes, or raise his chin, or do all sorts of strange things. Wang Qiang's actions made Wang Qiang feel very confused. Seeing Long Fei's actions, Wang Qiang felt a little embarrassed. Although she looked more frivolous, she still liked him.
Outside the carriage, the northwest wind blew the grass swaying from side to side. Occasionally, a hare jumped in the grass a few times, and was instantly submerged in the grass again. Zhao Yun and Tarun remained silent. Talen hunched his neck and clasped his hands on his chest. In front of him, he tried his best to bend his body to avoid heat loss. But Zhao Yun sat upright on the horse. His fair face turned pale, almost the same color as the clothes on his body.
Without a charioteer, Wang Wei temporarily acted as charioteer. His driving skills were good, and although he didn't go fast, it wasn't very bumpy. After walking for a while, he stopped the carriage and took out some dry food to distribute to everyone. Only at this time, The atmosphere can be better. Wang Wei is a talkative person and can chat with anyone. Sometimes Long Fei also makes a few jokes with him, temporarily making everyone forget the unhappiness just now.
We didn't see anyone until we entered Yanmen. The road from the Inner Great Wall to Yanmen was horribly desolate. Beyond the grass was the barren mountains. The grass all around was as tall as a person and there was no trace of living people. Long Fei's legs were so good. He had already thrown away his crutches, and he could only move up a few steps with a limp. Hua Tuo was greatly amazed by this. According to common sense, a person with short legs would have to lie down for at least ten and a half days, but Long Fei actually lasted three to five days. Then he could go to the ground. Hua Tuo asked for the secret, but Long Fei couldn't explain things like bone growth and calcium, so he could only laugh it off.
The large group of white horses caused quite a stir in Yanmen. Several horse dealers offered to talk to each other, but Long Fei severely rejected them. They found a small inn and several people rushed in. There was a huge in the center of the room. The brazier made the whole room extra warm. The waiter hurriedly came up to greet everyone. When he saw Talun, he was a little stunned. Long Fei smiled: "Have you never seen Xianbei people? If you don't hurry up and get the food and wine, we are all hungry. !”
The waiter agreed and went to the kitchen. He found a table and several people sat together. Perhaps because there were no guests, the waiter soon served some food and two bottles of wine. Everyone ate in silence. , no one touched the two pots of wine, and no one spoke. Wang Wei rolled his eyes and looked at Long Fei while eating.
Long Fei took a few bites and found that the food was okay, at least a little better than pig food. Putting down his chopsticks, Long Fei turned to Zhao Yun and asked: "Brother Zhao, this is already Han Dynasty, what are your plans?"
Zhao Yun let out a long breath. He was thinking about this problem along the way. After his studies came down from the mountain, the situation in his hometown completely changed. His parents, brother and sister-in-law were nowhere to be found. In desperation, he went to Youzhou to seek refuge with Gongsun Zan. In less than two months, Gongsun Zan died.
Then I had to leave Youzhou. But where could I go? Having no money was a trivial matter. What was difficult was not having a place to stay.
"Brother Long, where are you going?" Zhao Yun asked.
Long Fei smiled and looked at Wang Qiang and Wang Wei: "I will go wherever they go. I have no one to rely on here, so I can only follow them!"
"Stop following us!" Wang Qiang glared: "We saved your life. Now that we have arrived at Yanmen, it's time for you to leave. Stop pestering us!"
After listening to Long Fei's words, Wang Wei felt happy, but his joy was washed away by Wang Qiang's words. When he turned to look at Wang Qiang, Wang Qiang was glaring at him with her eyes. Scared, Wang Wei hurriedly lowered his head.
Have a meal.
Long Fei said: "Don't be so heartless and unrighteous! I saved one of your lives, not two. Without me, you and your brother might be working as coolies in the Xianbei tribe now. After all, you still owe
I've lost my life, but I feel bad after just eating this little thing from you. Women are all money-crazy."
Wang Qiang still wanted to argue, but Long Fei had already moved his eyes elsewhere. This made Wang Qiang very angry. She dropped her chopsticks and sat there sulking. Long Fei asked Talun again what he was going to do. Talun answered simply:
"Kill Gongsun Zan!"
Long Fei shook his head: "It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Gongsun Zan is now in the limelight. He has guards around him every step he takes. It's not easy to kill him. Killing only Gongsun Zan is not easy to avenge. I promise that one day you will kill Gongsun Zan's family."
,How about letting him be ruined?"
Tarun was stunned and looked at Long Fei with his eyes narrowed. Long Fei's eyes were full of determination, and the sturdy Xianbei man couldn't help but stand up and salute. Long Fei pulled him to sit down and continue eating.
Before Long Fei could speak, Hua Tuo chuckled: "You don't have to ask, I won't leave until I understand my little brother's superb medical skills!"
"Since you are not leaving, I am leaving!" Wang Qiang stood up and pulled Wang Wei to leave. But Wang Wei stood there without moving: "Sister, since everyone is not leaving, let's go together.
Luoyang, isn't it very good?" After saying this, Wang Wei realized that he had said the wrong thing again and hurriedly shut up.
Long Fei looked at Wang Wei: "You mentioned going to Luoyang twice. Why on earth are you siblings going to Luoyang? Why bother with this long distance?"
"You don't have to worry about our affairs!" Wang Qiang glared at her brother again.
The waiter came over timidly. He moved very gently for fear of disturbing the quarrel among several people: "Guys, do those white horses outside the door belong to you?"
"It's ours, what's wrong?" Wang Qiang was angry and had no place to vent her anger. Just in time, the waiter bumped into the muzzle of the gun.
Looking at Wang Qiang's tigress-like eyes, the waiter hurriedly took two steps back, swallowed, and said: "There are two people outside the door who want to buy a horse. Which of you, go out and have a look!"
"No! Let them go!" Wang Qiang said angrily.
The waiter agreed and hurried out the door. Long Fei looked at Wang Qiang with a smile on his face and hurriedly called the waiter: "Look at you, you don't have any ladylike temperament, you are a man no matter what."
It has the final say, why are you making noises with me! I’m determined to sell this horse!" He turned around and ordered the waiter to call the people outside the door.
Two people wearing dog-skin hats and mink coats came in from the door. Looking at their clothes, it was obvious that they were wealthy people. The two men were about the same age, about thirty years old, with long beards and beards on their chins.
His actual age is extremely disproportionate. Most of the teeth in his mouth are missing, and he speaks with a strange emphasis. His appearance is quite decent, his stature is neither tall nor short, but his forehead is a little wider. This is a symbol of a smart person.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, they were attracted by Long Fei's strange hairstyle. After a moment of hesitation, one of them said, "How dare you, little brother, be the owner of these white horses outside?"
Long Fei nodded slightly: "You two want to buy a horse?"
The man smiled and said: "That's what I mean, I, Zhang Shiping, this is my sworn brother Su Shuang. When I was in Yanmen, I heard someone talking about this group of fine horses, and I wanted to buy them. If I can part with my little brother, what's the price?"
!Easy to discuss!”
The two names that suddenly popped up in Long Fei's mind were somewhat familiar. He seemed to have heard them somewhere, but he couldn't remember them: "Then you guys tell me the price first, and I'll listen to it!"
"Hehehe..." Zhang Shiping smiled: "This product belongs to my little brother. Naturally, he will bid first, and then we will talk about it!"
Long Fei had been in the business of selling horses, and he didn't know the price of the horses. There was a conflict between the Xianbei and the Han people, and they had very strict control over their war horses. A high-quality war horse might cost ten times or even dozens of dollars when it reaches the Central Plains.
Long Fei pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered that Wang Wei had said that the horses driving the shafts in their carriage cost almost five hundred yuan each, so he simply replied: "In that case, then let's pay one thousand yuan!"
Zhang Shiping smiled slightly: "Little brother, you are really a lion. Even good horses outside the Great Wall only cost five or six hundred yuan. Although these horses of little brother are all white, they are just beautiful. There is still a gap between them and good horses. If they are small
My brother sincerely wants to take action, so how about I buy the good horse at the price?"
"No, I won't sell it for a penny less!" Long Fei refused.
Su Shuang tugged at the corner of Zhang Shiping's clothes and whispered: "Brother, Mr. Xuande is still waiting for us to go back! If we don't go back, we may miss Mr. Xuande's important event. It doesn't matter if we don't sell these horses! We have enough.
Duke Xuande wants a good horse, I think it’s better for us to go back and return to Duke Xuande as soon as possible.”
As soon as the word "Xuande" came out, Long Fei suddenly understood. This Shiping and Su Shuang were not the two people who helped Liu Bei raise his army. Old man Luo only mentioned it to them in the Three Kingdoms, but he didn't expect it.
These two people have been secretly supporting Liu Bei. No wonder Liu Bei has been defeated and fought repeatedly. It turns out that he has backing.
"Hahaha..." Long Fei laughed loudly, which made Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang feel strange. When the laughter stopped, Long Fei said: "Who did I think they were? It turns out that the two of them are Liu Bei's people. Liu Bei
You haven't been doing well lately, are you at Gongsun Zan's place?"
"How did you know, little brother?" Su Shuang was quite surprised.
Long Fei pretended to be mysterious and said: "You don't need to ask about this. Since Liu Bei is at Gongsun Zan's place, I advise you not to buy this horse!"
"Why is this?"
Before Long Fei could answer, there was a commotion on the street. A group of people were shouting, and they could be heard shouting from a distance: "Where are the horse sellers? Where are the people? Catch these Xianbei spies for me.
