C11 At Night in Yi County
These two hundred or so Sky Nation's Soldiers from Taibai Top were not brought over by Shi Dakai from the south, but one of the Army s that had been scattered after Sky Nation's Northern Chasm failed. At that time, gray beard, General Liu Lang, was the person with the highest status among the group. In the chaotic battle, he even brought a large group of North Guard's Military pay and hid in the depths of the Taihang Mountains, waiting for the Heaven to attack again from the north.
However, gray beard and the others did not wait for the arrival of North Guard, but for their former boss, the one who faked his death, Winged King Shida Kai.
In the past, the North Guard was one of the elites of the Balanced Sky Nation. Along the way, they attacked and plundered the cities along the way, food was released to kill off the nobles and tyrants, accumulating a large amount of military wealth. Not only did they have a large amount of gold and silver, there were also a lot of rare treasures.
What appeared in front of Xiao Letian now was a huge shining gold mountain. The ground was covered with exquisite gold, silver and jade artifacts. The one-foot tall coral tree was leaning against a corner, and a handful of pearls were pouring down onto the ground, rolling all over the place. In the corner of the porcelain vat, an axis of calligraphy and painting definitely wasn't ordinary.
"Among them are the military assets that Liu Lang and the rest brought along, as well as the treasures that I secretly transferred over from the south. I have secretly set up thirteen holy treasury like this in the Daqing …" Shi Dakai seemed to be talking about someone else's property, his tone was as calm as water.
"Due to the fact that property has to be secretly transferred across mountains and ridges, we have no choice but to give up things like silver and other things like silver. The current holy treasury is the essence of the Heavenly Kingdom's holy treasury, so every treasure can be said to be priceless … "It's a pity that it's too difficult to materialize …"
Shi Dakai opened Tang Bohu's spring palace and said with a sneer, "Those rich people in Jiangnan like to flatter lowly Painting like Tang Bohu. If it wasn't for the fact that I could exchange for some money, I would have burned it long ago …" With that, he threw it into the corner.
Aiyo, but my heart hurts me to death, you are moral gentleman, but I am not, Brothers I love this mouth. Xiao Letian hurriedly held Tang Bohu's real work in his hands. Tsk tsk tsk, look at this art piece. It's really amazing. Is it already popular in the Ming Dynasty? Was the one pushing from behind maidservant or concubinage?
When Xiao Letian was deeply immersed in the fantasy of life in the city of Ming Dynasty, Shi Dakai pushed him. Military Advisor? I'm asking you something, what treasure are you going to bring down the mountain with you? "
"Ah?" Oh... It's like this, Prince should have a better understanding of the market price of these treasures and help me find some that are easy to carry. Also, I need to bring treasures that are worth close to 110 thousand silver taels down the mountain. After saying that, he casually passed the Spring Palace scroll to his servant janitor, "This painting is not bad. I like it, so let my study …"
Cough cough cough, Shi Dakai nearly choked to death on his own saliva. He thought to himself, is this overseas person so free? A Painting like the Palace of Spring, even if it wanted to, had to at least tell me secretly. Why did they want it so carelessly in front of me? This was simply disregarding reputation and integrity.
As expected, overseas Chinese eat raw beef and do not know how to recuperate. In the future, I must persuade Military Advisor to not be too lustful of beauties at such a young age.
"Prince!" "Prince?" This time, it was Xiao Letian's turn to push him, "Ah?" Ah … Sorry, little Wang lost his composure … The treasure mister wanted let me think about it.
"Antique calligraphy and painting are really expensive, but only those who know how to buy them will pay a huge price. It's not easy to buy them quickly, so I should think of a way to get my hands on them …"
Xiao Letian and Shi Dakai stayed in the treasury for a whole two hours. Finally, under the protection of the three janitor s arranged by Shi Dakai, they rushed to Yi County City.
From the Taibai Top to the Yi County's County City, even if Qingzhuang were to move forward, it would still take two days. Xiao Letian brought the false braid prepared for him by the village as well as the fake identity documents and rushed straight to the Yi County City.
When Xiao Letian rushed to Yi County's County City, it was already the evening of the second day. The two smoking faced Veteran at the west gate had already started to drive people, the last person to enter the city, the Gate was about to close soon.
"Aiya, it's about to close the Gate. We should hurry up and do it …" Xiao Letian was definitely a beginner in the art of horse riding. He ran back and forth as he spoke, but he was still in last place.
The three janitor s that Xiao Letian had brought out were all elites that Shi Dakai had picked out from thousands of people. Not only were they skilled in bows, they were also very quick-witted. The young man leading the way was called Xiao Hexin. When he saw that the Gate was about to close, he quickly whipped his horse and rushed to the front.
The scene of the big horses charging at full speed was indeed shocking. The big bowl sized hooves of the horses trampled on the road, causing dust and dirt to fly into the air. The villagers nearby even felt the ground trembling.
The two old men looked back and were startled. If they didn't have only four horses, they would have thought that the county had been attacked. Didn't you see that the Gate is tightly shut? Hurry to the Outside the city Tavern and wait for tomorrow … " Before he could finish his words, he saw two strings of copper coin rolling towards him, instantly blocking his mouth.
Xiao Letian only saw Xiao Hexin not even get down from his horse, only talking to the two Veteran in a soft voice, and then the Gate that was shut until there was only one crack opened up again. This time, even if Xiao Letian swaggered in front of the two Veteran, no one would ask him any nonsense.
After the four of them rounded the corner, Xiao Letian asked in a low voice, "Don't Qing Dynasty have to find the way? It can be seen that the four of us are not people with great reputations, yet he let us in so easily? " Xiao Letian's doubts were reasonable, unless you have the title, otherwise Paleogene would not be able to leave your hometown easily. He would wander around his hometown and no one would care about him, so if you need to cross the prefectural city, you would have to go to County Yamen to lead the way.
Xiao Letian remembered that when they were about to leave, the scribe on the mountain gave them a fake road guide. However, he didn't see Xiao Hexin take it out just now.
"Hey …" My good mister, aren't all the rules in this world made by the rich and powerful Old people? "To those commoner people, this is the law of the land, but …" Xiao Hexin patted the bag of money on his waist and smiled, "Do you still need to talk about laws when you have money? This rotten Daqing Dynasty, should have died long ago … "
Xiao Letian was surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Hexin to be so bold as to dare to say such outrageous things on the streets. However, when he looked left and right, he could see that the few people on the street all had numb faces, as if they had been turned into puppets by life.
"mister, don't worry. Can you see the big hotpot in front? "That's the spy that our Prince has planted in the city. This street has been our territory for a long time now …"
He walked to the front of the store and wrote the words' two taels of Pot House 'on a signboard. Before he even entered the door, Buddy had already lifted the curtain and bowed, "Honored guests, please come upstairs …" This voice was very energetic, and the enthusiasm it exuded was not something that Miss, who was used to showing eight teeth in a hotel, could compare to.
For ordinary Great Pot House to open a two-story house, it already showed that Owner was extremely rich. It seemed that the Sky Nation's Intelligence had sufficient funds! Xiao Letian carried his robe and went upstairs. Just as he entered the room and sat down, the Pot House's shopkeeper and Scophthalmus followed in. Without saying anything further, they kneeled down and kowtowed.
"Greetings to Military Advisor... "Greetings to Prince …" The fat storekeeper lowered his voice and kowtowed three times. Then, with a wave of his hand, the food he prepared earlier was served.
"Military Advisor, don't worry. I just received the knockoff Flying Pigeon Message yesterday afternoon. I haven't prepared anything good in such a short time, so I barely managed to catch a glimpse of you after getting a pair of Black Bear Palms last month …" As he spoke, he brought out a large porcelain plate and a pair of steaming Steamed Bear Hands was placed on the table.
Xiao Letian was dumbfounded, this evil feudal dynasty, did not have any animal protection laws? This poor black bear was born into this dynasty. Although Xiao Letian's heart was full of bullshit, the drool at the corner of his mouth and the greedy look in his eyes betrayed him. In his previous life, although he had eaten quite a number of high grade dishes, he was not unlucky enough to receive Bear Palm, which was known as the most precious mountain.
"Brother Xiong!" "Brother Xiong, don't blame me if I eat your pair of hands. Once I gain power, I will definitely be the first to enact animal protection laws and will be the first to protect you …" As he spoke, Xiao Letian ate the fresh and tender bear meat with a wave of his chopsticks.
Xiao Letian loved to play with treasures, which was well-known by everyone in the village. Xiao Hexin and the others had seen it before when he was giving his evaluation, and they also knew that Military Advisor loved to say some weird words that no one could understand. For example, the phrase 'your sister' had already become a popular term in Taibai Top. If people had any small conflicts with others, their mouths would be filled with the sound of your sister.
Xiao Hexin and the others were already used to it, but they had never seen fat storekeeper and Buddy before. They thought that the Black Bear Palm, which had been stewed with wild ginseng and pigeon soup for half a day, was not suitable for Military Advisor's taste. At that time, fat storekeeper's forehead was covered in sweat.
No wonder he misunderstood. Now that Xiao Letian had closed his eyes, he had an extremely weird expression on his face, as if he was going to have a stomach attack.
Delicious, it's really too f * cking delicious. It was full of gelatinous taste, and a strange smell that Xiao Letian had never felt before lingered in his throat. At that moment, Xiao Letian felt that his tongue was covered by a thick gelatinous taste, as if it was going to melt along with this kind of taste.
For a full three minutes, Xiao Letian didn't even come back to his senses. When he opened his eyes again, he found fat storekeeper kneeling on the ground again, begging for forgiveness with a face full of sweat.
"Military Advisor, don't blame me for getting you the White Bear Palm next time. At the very most, I will get Military Advisor the genuine Black Bear Palm. It's too hasty today …"
"Huh?" Xiao Letian was dumbfounded at that moment. I was still reflecting on it, why did you kneel down? Wait! From what you're saying, the bear's paw that I'm eating isn't the most delicious one. It was said that ancient resources were scarce, but in reality, that was only in comparison to Poor. To the rich, the feudal dynasty was a paradise.
Even Shi Dakai only ate and lived with Wu Tie during the war. When there was no war to recuperate, Shi Dakai's life was also extremely luxurious.
In Paleogene's eyes, being able to be crowned king was already a man of heaven that was out of his reach. Since Xiao Letian was on equal footing with Wing King, there was no need to talk about his status anymore. In Liu Tie's eyes, using a pair of black bear paws that was sold by an ordinary Caravan was honestly too rude.
Hearing that Military Advisor was not angry at all, fat storekeeper was touched to the point of almost crying. "Military Advisor is really Bodhisattva's heart, poor young master of Yi County, it's already too late to guarantee that we can exchange the goods. Military Advisor, don't worry, tomorrow I will send a fast horse to prepare a table of Eight Treasures Master-in-waiting from Bao Ding.
In Xiao Letian's eyes, he really did not feel what the so-called octahedrine surface looked like. At this time, his attention was already focused on the wall opposite the street outside the window, and under Xiao Hexin's introduction, the name of the Fan family's Guangde was inside. Manager Fan and tiger chick were living inside.
While Xiao Letian was eating and drinking, he was thinking about how he should go see Manager Fan the next day. It was already completely dark. According to the foreigners' clock, it was now 8: 30 AM.
Just as Xiao Letian's eyes swept across the darkness on the other side of the street, an astonished figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Unexpectedly, two figures could be seen inside the backyard of the Guangde. Upon closer inspection, it was actually two women.
"Your sister?" "Isn't that tiger chick and A Chou …"
