"Brother is so good at knife skills. With just one strike, those thieves were frightened. I wish I could be as skilled as my brother."
The half-grown boy was gesticulating repeatedly. It was obvious that he was not only a talkative but also an active person.
The man with the knife is annoying. This kid is a bit cunning. If he wants to learn his skills, just say no. Isn’t that what he means by praising him endlessly?
If we knew that those heroes who blocked the road before were our accomplices... He imagined it and smiled to himself, Quan Zuo was just a boring pastime along the way.
He didn't say anything, but the half-grown baby didn't stop croaking either.
"My brother's brother is in Yunnei, so he must be a man of great ability. Well, why doesn't my brother join the army? My brother is a soldier in the government?"
The man with the knife spoke again, "My little brother said he was going to Yunnei to visit his relatives, but I haven't asked yet, who did he choose to be with?"
The half-grown kid rolled his eyes, hesitated, and then said: "An uncle..."
The man with the knife asked calmly, "What does your uncle do for a living?"
The half-grown boy stopped talking this time. It was obvious that he was a simple natured man and did not want to deceive the benefactor who saved his life. Who would he choose to go to Yunnei? As long as he did not enter the realm of Yunnei, he would be absolutely perfect.
Won't tell anyone.
This was something his father had given him countless instructions to keep in mind.
The man with the knife was a little surprised. He was also a person with evil intentions here. After asking around in Mayi City, he realized how difficult it was to get to Yunnei.
There is no need to think about business travel. There are few businessmen going north in the winter, and today's businessmen will not leave Yunnei.
There is no longer any slave trade there, heavy taxes are still collected, and there are many roads out of the fortress. There is no need to go through the clouds, so why go there and feel uncomfortable.
Furthermore, the number of people doing business with the north has also dropped sharply this year. This is not only because the governor Wang of Mayi has strict orders to strictly control business travel, but also because the Turks went south last year and showed no mercy to anyone.
With the example of Shenwu in front of him, the number of people interacting with the Turks suddenly decreased.
Yes, what happened in Shenwu City was too bad. Obviously the Turks went south and had no intention of accepting the surrender. Therefore, in the eyes of some people, instead of pinning their hopes on the Turks, it is better to have the thick city wall of Mayi.
More reliable.
Of course, these are a bit far-fetched.
It is rare for a man with a knife to find out any information he wants to know. As long as he wants to know, even if Liu Wuzhou, the lieutenant of Mayi County, goes to the toilet several times a day, he can find out.
As a result, he also knew how difficult it was to get to Yunnei quietly. On the road leading to Yunnei, not to mention the checkpoints, he also heard some people talking about it mysteriously.
It is not that easy to cross the mountains, forests and wilderness on the border of Yunnei.
Heng'an Town General Li Ding'an has become the grass-head king of Yunnei, and this grass-head king has done a very solid job. In two or three years, he has managed Yunnei like an iron bucket.
Originally, it was not like he didn't have acquaintances in Yunnei, so it wasn't a big deal to have someone meet him, but by chance, it was much more convenient to meet such a kid and go to Yunnei to visit relatives than to pass news back and forth.
.
Ever since, I just acted out a scene and ended up with this kid.
I didn't expect it, or just asked casually, and found out that this half-grown kid was just like him, hiding secrets in his heart.
This made the man with the knife a little uneasy. If there was anything wrong with this kid, it would be a bit ridiculous for him to go with him. He might as well patiently wait for someone in Shenwu to take care of him.
He frowned, hesitating a little, and once again felt that his decision to go to Yunnei this time seemed a bit rash.
The half-grown kid didn't know the dangers of walking with a tiger. After a long while, he explained slowly, "Brother, don't worry, my uncle is a good man. When I get to Yunnei, if I know that my brother saved my life, he will definitely do it."
Repay brother well."
As he talked, he got excited again.
"With my brother's ability, he will definitely be appreciated by my uncle..."
At this point, I felt that my words were leaking too much, and I paused again.
The man with the knife immediately understood that his uncle seemed to be quite extraordinary in Yunnei.
He couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Thank you so much, little brother. I heard that Yunnei's interrogation was very strict, and I was worried that you wouldn't be able to pass the checkpoint, but unexpectedly you met a noble person..."
When faced with such an old world, no matter how much hardship a half-grown boy endures, he is still no match.
He was still there waving his hands, "I am not a noble person, my uncle is a noble person."
Now, the man with the knife was even more certain that this boy's uncle might have an official position in Yunnei, but...
So he immediately asked again, "Since you are a noble person, why do you still hesitate to talk about it, little brother? Is it because you are afraid that I will threaten you with my kindness and entangle you and you will not be able to cling to me?"
Immediately, the half-grown child's head shook like a rattle. In a hurry, the truth came out immediately, "No, no, brother, don't misunderstand... My father said that no one can talk about my uncle's affairs. If you tell me
I was told that my father would beat me to death when I get back."
The man with the knife was already sure that this boy's uncle might still hold an important official position in Yunnei.
As for why they are so vague and dare not speak out, it is easy to understand if you think about it. Yunnei has now become a world of its own and is not subject to the control of Mayi. It is no different from rebellion.
If people find out that he is involved with officials in Yunnei, disaster may be imminent.
People like Wang Rengong, the Governor of Mayi, and Liu Wuzhou, the Prime Minister of Mayi County, were all afraid of those people in Yunnei.
At this moment, he felt that he was quite lucky to have met such a boy, and it might be an unexpected surprise.
If he really saved an official's son, this trip would be much more convenient.
However, when he glanced at the panting, shrinking, and clumsy guy beside him, he couldn't tell that there was any trace of nobility in him.
The half-grown child was still nagging, "Don't worry, brother, I won't lie to you. As long as we reach the Yunnei realm, we will be home."
Hey, you're not too petty, isn't your uncle Li Ding'an, the general of Heng'an Town?
After that, no matter how much the man with the knife asked, the half-grown boy refused to say anything.
On the official road, two guys who happened to be in the same place by accident, walked away as soon as they could. They were not lonely, but they didn't know how outrageous God's joke was.
More than ten miles behind them, a group of more than ten people escorted two carriages, also slowly heading north.
This group of people looked much more miserable in the cold wind.
There was a coffin carried on the carriage, and there was a woman curled up on the other carriage. The men following the carriage all wore mourning, and there were white flags in front of the carriage, obviously in the posture of protecting the soul and returning home.
It's just that, if you look closer, you will see that there is no trace of sadness on the faces of these women. Instead, the corners of their eyes and brows are all charming, and the eyes they look at the men are also frivolous.
The men who were wearing filial piety were much calmer. No one spoke to anyone, they just hurried on. But like the women in the car, their emotions were not in place.
Compared with the two strange people in front of them, this team is also a bit weird.
…………………………
East of Yunnei City.
The cemetery where the soldiers who died in the battle of Heng'an Town are buried is built here. In fact, it occupies the site of the remaining palaces of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Yunnei.
In fact, the fact that a palace complex can be built here shows that the feng shui of this place is very good. The tomb robber Xu Zhao once dissuaded Li Po from building a cemetery here.
In his words, it is a majestic place, but it is filled with death, which is a big disadvantage.
Li Po's answer is also quite interesting. If someone is buried in a place with good feng shui, shouldn't there be green smoke on the grave? It's a good thing. When you pass away, you can just bury it here. Maybe after you are reincarnated, you will be born in an emperor's home.
Woolen cloth.
Xu Zhao was speechless. He probably cursed the eighteen generations of Li Po's ancestors in his heart.
When meeting such a person who has no taboos, all superstitions have to give way, so the exclusive cemetery of Heng'an Town was built on the palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
In fact, there is nothing you can do about it. If you build it outside, won't everything be dug up when the Turks come?
There just happened to be such a large area, far away from the houses, so it was put to good use. As for ancient buildings or not, the people living on this land never seemed to care much, and Li Po didn't even care.
After he came to Yunnei, he worked hard to demolish it. Now, the remaining palaces in the Northern Wei Dynasty have been demolished to a large extent.
If it weren't for lack of manpower and lack of time, Li Po actually wanted to tear down the wall of Yunnei City and expand it, because there were more and more residents in Yunnei City, which made it a bit crowded.
Yuchi and his people are already repairing the cemetery. According to Li Po's idea, this is a place for soldiers to live, and it must be solemn and solemn.
Unlike the cemeteries of the nobles, this place is open to the public and people are not prohibited from coming to worship and watch.
Li Po took a tour around the cemetery and ordered the Yunnei County Magistrate and Wang Qing to prepare a memorial ceremony for the fallen soldiers.
Then, he took the people away.
Not long after, a group of more than ten people came to a stop in front of a mansion.
The tomb robber pointed at the mansion and said: "General, this is the mansion. It occupies a large area. There are two gardens on the left and right, with water in the middle. There is a hill in the back. The main house is on the hill. The feng shui is excellent..."
Li Po secretly curled his lips, since the feng shui was so good, the people who lived here before had to be kicked out of Yunnei by me.
Yes, he is looking for a house to live here.
Otherwise, the officials in Yunnei always said that the general was lenient, and Li Po was still very kind in his work. He did not rob other people's houses, nor did he use anyone to bribe him. Instead, he asked Xu Zhao to find idle houses in the city.
The house in front of me was highly recommended by Xu Zhao, who changed his career and became a real estate agent. The previous owner was a businessman. When Heng'an Town came into Yunnei, he ran away, leaving a house that has been vacant here for a long time...
