Yi Niang just bought a group of chicks. The chicks were put in baskets. She was taking them out one by one to inspect them.
"Yiniang, there is a beauty from next door." Zhang Siniang looked disdainful and thought to herself: Mr. Lang didn't even touch me, that alien beauty is not as good as me!
Yi Niang checked the butt of a chick and found some signs of diarrhea. She couldn't help but darken her face, "Profiteer!"
"Yiniang, how should we deal with it?" Yang Xuan is not here, so Yiniang is in charge.
Yi Niang put the chick aside and said casually: "Where did it come from?"
"It is said that the King of Yue gave it to King Wei from southern Xinjiang, but King Wei did not want it."
"Those are probably clean people, not spies." Yi Niang was very confident.
Zhang Siniang couldn't help but feel more in danger when she heard this.
"But the family doesn't support outsiders. Send them back...and so on."
Yi Niang found another chicken that had pooped. She gritted her teeth and said, "Ask the old thief later. If he doesn't want it, he will send it back. He will say that the poor family can't even afford food, let alone raise it."
A precious beauty."
"Oh!" Zhang Siniang couldn't help but chuckle.
After Yi Niang discovered that there was something wrong with the third chick, she couldn't help but roar.
"Profiteer!"
Yuan Shi took his people to live in Nilv and then dispersed.
Some people go to brothels, some go to wine shops, and some go to the market to wander around.
It wasn't until evening that everyone came back.
Someone was watching outside the door, and inside, more than ten people reported in turn.
"King Wei is very peaceful in Taiping. He only went to the grassland once and usually lives in peace and quiet in Taiping."
"After arriving in Lin'an, King Wei still lived in seclusion."
Yuan Shi said in a deep voice: "You didn't win over the officials and generals?"
"No, King Wei is on good terms with the magistrate of Taiping County, who is now Chenzhou Sima Yang Xuan."
Yuan Shi frowned, "A county magistrate, a minor official! If King Wei takes action, he must at least be the governor. How about Yang Xuan?"
A man said: "It is said that Yang Xuan is a member of the imperial concubine."
"That's even more inappropriate!" Yuan Shi sneered, "King Wei had given the imperial concubine a favor back then, how could he be willing to be on good terms with the imperial concubine's people?"
"It is said that Yang Xuan was born in a peasant family. Later, by chance, he rescued the imperial concubine and became prosperous from then on."
"No, I found out the news that this person trained an elite army in Taiping and won many battles."
"You're just bragging, right?"
"No, the people of Lin'an know that earlier this year, the opposing army of the Jibo tribe sent out to attack Zhangyu County. Yang Xuan led hundreds of cavalry to defeat the more than 10,000 cavalry of the Jibo tribe. During the Northern Xinjiang War, this man was also the first to break the city.
"
"Eh!" Yuan Shi was a little curious, "So... then it would be interesting for this person to use soldiers. How old is he?"
"Said it's less than twenty."
Yuan Shi smiled and said: "The young man is energetic, but after all, he is young and has a low official position. King Wei cannot have the thought of slowly cultivating him. Such a test."
"yes!"
Another person said: "In addition, Li Han, the grandson of King Liang, lives in King Wei's palace. The two of them go in and out together and are quite affectionate."
Yuan Shi said: "Li Han seems to be a profligate, but he killed Li Zhen's concubine when he was only eleven years old. Such people are ruthless, and if they are with King Wei... there is nothing to worry about. However,
Test."
"yes!"
Everyone agreed in a low voice.
Yuan Shi warned: "You must find out the news here so that the king can deal with it in a targeted manner. So don't slack off. Li Han's cultivation is average. He defeated ten guilds at once and took action directly to test his nature. I guess Yang Xuan should
He is a strong general, so he should not take action. Instead, he should be coaxed and tested to test this person's resourcefulness."
"yes."
After everyone left, Yuan Shi sat in a daze under the lamp. For a long time, he rubbed his forehead.
"Why is King Wei so low-key?"
"But the same is true for your Majesty in Southern Xinjiang. Are the prince's plans so similar?"
"There is a large army in the northern border and a large army in the southern border. However, the generals in the northern border are said to be arrogant, and King Wei may not be able to surrender."
The lights flickered, illuminating Yuan Shi's face with uncertainty.
…
"woman?"
When the old thief arrived home and learned that Yi Niang had arranged a woman for him, he immediately shook his head and said, "No need."
Yi Niang didn't bother to persuade her. She asked Yang Xuan for instructions and ordered the beauty to be sent back.
The old thief was a little distracted while eating.
"Old thief." Wang Laoer greeted him. Seeing that he didn't respond, he said, "Old thief is thinking about women."
The old thief came to his senses and said, "I don't have time to think about women."
Wang Laoer said: "Then why are you drooling outside the brothel looking at the women inside?"
The old thief's face turned red, "Why have I ever been like this?"
"Last time I saw it, you said you had white thighs."
Wang Laoer is very serious.
Yi Niang knocked on the table and said, "Eat!"
Wang Laoer muttered: "I'm telling the truth."
The old thief's face remained red until after the meal.
"Discuss business." Yi Niang said, and Wang Laoer immediately set up the table in high spirits, then sat behind his own table and looked at Yi Niang eagerly.
Tea, melon seeds, snacks...
After everyone had their meal, Yi Niang sat down.
"Mr. Lang, the King of Yue and the King of Wei are supposed to be enemies, but they sent people to give gifts. I thought they were here to test." Regarding such intrigues, Yi Niang felt that her rank could directly overwhelm the King of Yue.
"The King of Yue's visit to southern Xinjiang and the visit of King Wei to northern Xinjiang caused a stir at first. Many people speculated on the emperor's intentions. Some people said that this move was because the emperor was worried about the border troops and wanted to use the prince to control the military envoys in the two places.
But when King Wei entered Taiping, Chang'an had no objections. It can be seen that checks and balances are only one aspect..." Yang Xuan said with some disdain: "That man is worried about his throne. For this reason, father and son are not like father and son. I thought that on the other hand,
The intention is to use King Wei and King Yue to contain the prince and the four surnames of his family."
"Lang Jun, but the King of Yue is the son of the queen! He is also a member of the same family with four surnames." The old thief felt that this analysis was a bit biased.
"When the prince is here, unless the four surnames of the family want to play horse racing, the King of Yue will be one of the prince's enemies." Yang Xuan said: "The palace is the emperor's place, and they dare not take the risk of playing horse racing. Therefore, when the King of Yue goes out to southern Xinjiang, King Wei
When leaving the northern border, the prince will not dare to act rashly, otherwise it will be easy for the emperor to depose him and use the King of Yue or the King of Wei as the prince."
Yi Niang smiled contemptuously, "The emperor was worried that King Wei and King Yue would be deposed by the four surnames in the local area, leaving him with only one choice: the prince, so he let them go to southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang. He seems to be very close to the four surnames of the family, but
There is intrigue behind closed doors."
"It's a good thing that this person is here. It means that the King of Yue is also spying on that location." Yang Xuan concluded: "Over in southern Xinjiang, Zhang Huan is a veteran general, and Zhang Chumao is a member of a family with four surnames. It is also quite difficult for the King of Yue. However,
It has nothing to do with us."
The second day.
After Li Han arrives in a new place, he likes to wander around and experience different customs.
When Li Han got up in the morning, he was going to have breakfast outside.
We were walking all the way, it was late autumn, looking around was a bit chilling, there were a lot of fallen leaves on the ground.
Li Han entered an alley.
A man came forward with his head lowered.
The two sides are getting closer and closer.
The man gradually approached Li Han, and suddenly his shoulder sank and he bumped into Li Han's shoulder.
Knock him down and beat him severely.
This is Yuan Shi's arrangement.
Then observe Li Han's reaction.
This is the time when you can best see a person’s character.
The man has good cultivation and can crush Li Han.
So Li Han unexpectedly hit the earth wall next to him.
Then it bounced back.
"You dare to hit me!" The man's face was smeared with a lot of paint made from tree sap from southern Xinjiang, and it looked gray and black. He raised his fist, grinning ferociously, and prepared to punch him.
Li Han's right hand waved violently.
An iron thorn suddenly pierced the man's thigh just when he thought he was caught off guard.
"ah!"
If you miss a hit, you must flee far away, otherwise once your identity is discovered, King Wei can ride into southern Xinjiang alone and beat the King of Yue to death.
The man howled miserably, flashed and disappeared into the morning mist in the alley.
Li Han slowly put away the iron thorn, and looked thoughtfully at the direction where the man disappeared, "He learned that I lived with King Wei, so he came to test it. My cultivation is shallow, and I only need a beating.
You can see my character. The methods are interesting, but they underestimate the enemy."
"Underestimating the enemy means that they despise me. Hey! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have used the iron thorns. Instead, I would have used the poisonous water that Zita made. It's so exciting when I spray it!"
"Hey! If they test me, they will definitely test Zitai."
Li Han was amused, "That's a guy who cheats people without paying for their lives. I hope whoever tries it out will have good luck."
Yang Xuan and his people were on their way to Zhoushe at the moment.
In late autumn, there are obviously a lot more pedestrians on the street.
A woman stumbled over and fell in front of Yang Xuan's horse. She raised her head and screamed: "Mr. Lang, you are so cruel, you have abandoned our mother and son."
When did I have a son? Yang Xuan: "..."
Passers-by gathered around, and someone said: "This is Yang Sima, have you mistakenly recognized the person?"
The woman shook her head, with tears in her eyes, and said pitifully: "The person on your pillow, how could I admit my mistake?"
In the crowd, someone was watching Yang Xuan's reaction, not even missing his expression.
When encountering such slander, some people will retort angrily, some people will tremble with anger, some people will yell and curse...
Different reactions represent a person's different temperament. And temperament can often reveal a person's potential.
Yang Xuan stretched out his hand.
Snap!
The woman received a slap, raised her face, and said in shock: "Mr. Lang, you are so cruel..."
Snap!
Another slap.
The woman was beaten so hard that some of her big teeth were loose.
"Take the question."
Two guards rushed over and one of them lifted the woman up.
Simple and crude, but extremely useful.
Among the crowd of onlookers, the man quietly retreated.
But what he didn't know was that the old thief was following behind.
The man was very alert and looked behind him from time to time by entering a shop or stopping to ask about stalls.
The old thief rolled his eyes, poked at the wooden stick he had obtained at some point, and moved forward slowly.
After going all the way back to the reverse journey, the man went in to report.
"Without asking any questions, I just slapped the woman so hard that she lost several of her teeth. It looked... miserable."
Yuan Shi smiled and said: "Is it rude? No wonder the leader's ability to fight effectively depends on his sharpness."
He asked: "Will that woman have any future troubles?"
The man said: "She is just a money-grubbing woman. After we coaxed her and threw some money, she couldn't wait to leave."
"Greed is the greatest weakness!" Yuan Shi summed it up wisely.
In the lobby downstairs, the old thief was talking to the shopkeeper.
"Guests' secrets will not be leaked!" the shopkeeper said with an upright look.
The old thief said with a smile: "Life or money?"
The shopkeeper smiled, and a short knife suddenly appeared on his neck. The old thief smiled more kindly than he did, "Those are a group of thieves. I will think you are their accomplice."
The shopkeeper was still tough, "Unless you are an official, don't even think about me...I..."
Yang Xuan appeared.
The shopkeeper trembled, "They are on the second floor, and they have booked the entire D-shaped room all the way to the end."
Yang Xuan was followed by dozens of guards.
Upstairs, Yuan Shi was still smiling relaxedly, "Li Han is cunning and cunning, so there is nothing to worry about. Yang Xuan is simple and crude, and cannot be used in a big way. King Wei has been hanging around in Northern Xinjiang for a while, and he actually got these two crooked melons."
Split dates, interesting.”
His ears suddenly twitched, "Someone came upstairs, a lot of them."
The man slapped the table violently.
People in other rooms rushed out one after another.
"Someone!"
At the entrance of the stairs on the second floor, Yang Xuan slowly walked up. Seeing everyone's tense situation, he asked, "Where is the person who tricked me this morning?"
In the room, the man's expression changed drastically, "No, I was careless."
Yuan Shi pointed to the window.
The man flew away.
Yuan Shi walked out slowly.
The corridor on the second floor was U-shaped. His people were standing on one side, and dozens of guards on the opposite side were pointing their bows and arrows at them.
The corridor was also guarded, and there was no other way out except retreating to the room.
"What's the matter?" Yuan Shi asked with a straight face.
Yang Xuan looked at him, "Where is that person?"
Yuan Shi shook his head, "I don't know what you are talking about? In addition, we are the people of the King of Yue, and we were forced by bows and arrows in Lin'an today. Whose gift is this?"
"A gift from my family!" Yang Xuan said: "I want to run away after I trick someone, but I don't know that the soldiers and civilians in Lin'an are all related. The people have already noticed the abnormality you are waiting for. Where is he?"
It turned out to be discovered by the common people... Yuan Shi thought he was really careless, "There is no such thing."
"Don't admit it?" Yang Xuan stretched out his hand, and the old thief handed over the wooden stick.
"Stand still." Yang Xuan pointed to the opposite side with his stick, then walked over with a grin.
Someone turned around and wanted to enter the house.
What can you do?
Yang Xuan said as he walked away: "Fire the arrow!"
Within a short distance, as soon as he released his hand, the arrow reached behind the man.
"ah!"
The man fell to the ground and howled miserably, with several arrows stuck in his thighs and buttocks, trembling uncontrollably.
"Try moving again?"
Yang Xuan rushed over with a big stick and beat him severely.
More than ten men were knocked to the ground, and Yuan Shi was the last one left.
"Yang Xuan, don't do it..."
Yang Xuan lashed out with a stick. Yuan Shi just wanted to dodge, but several arrows blocked his dodge space.
Boom!
Yuan Shi threw himself down.
Yang Xuan picked him up with his hands and cursed: "Mother Ganni, if Yeye hadn't been guarding her body like jade, I would have thought that the seeds were sown someday. My wife had a child before she even entered the house. How will Yeye get a wife in the future?"
Boom boom boom!
After a beating with fists and kicks, Yang Xuan left Yuan Shi with a bruised nose and swollen face, turned around and said, "Let's go!"
After leaving the reverse journey, Yang Xuan asked: "Where is the person who escaped?"
The old thief said: "The second brother went to chase him."
The man was running wildly in an alley at the moment.
As long as he can escape, Yang Xuan's intrusion into the reverse journey is a provocation and trouble, and a letter from the King of Yue can make him pay the price.
He glanced back while running wildly.
No one came after me.
He turned back proudly.
I saw a young man walking out from the front.
The young man smiled very silly.
Raise your right hand.
Swing hard.
The man was shocked to find that no matter how hard he tried to dodge, he could not avoid the slap.
"you!"
Snap!
The man was slapped and sent flying backwards, hitting the wall.
The young man came over and sniffed, "You actually got peeed?"
The man was so overwhelmed with shame that he couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"
