Chapter 194 Qiang Flute

Huangqiao's name is Gongdu. Although he is from Linxiang, Changsha County, he is not from Zhang Xian's confidant.

Of course, the Huang family in Linxiang was considered to be a big family that took refuge in Zhang Xian earlier, and the two must be inextricably linked.

None of the armor and weapons refined by Leiyang Smelting Workshop in recent years remained, and all of them were handed over to Zhang Xian, which is the best proof.

While Liu Jing was talking with Huang Qiao, Huan Yi also ended his meeting with the officials in Leiyang and came to Liu Jing's place.

Liu Jing pointed to the people around him, and said, "My lord, you all know Ma Zijin and Liu Ziming. This is Chu Ziping, and this is Huang Gongdu, the Iron Officer Order..."

Ma Zhou and Liu Liang were naturally very familiar to Huan Yi, but Chu Fang only knew their names, his elder brother Huan Jie had met Chu Fang, and both of them worked under Sun Jian back then.At that time, Huan Yi was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he was valued by Sun Jian, he did not become an official.

He always thought that Chu Fang should be a big man with a height of eight feet and an imposing manner like a mountain, but he didn't expect the real person to be so ugly.

Huan Yi greeted him briefly, and then turned his gaze to Huang Qiao.

"I've met the Ming court when I was ordered by the iron officer." Huang Qiao said with a deep bow, exactly the same as when he saw Liu Jing before.

In fact, in terms of official positions, the Iron Official Order is on the same level as the Leiyang Order, but as the saying goes, "eat people's mouths are short, and people's hands are short." The iron officials' daily food and clothing are all taken from Leiyang. Leiyang order, it is difficult to straighten the waist.

Furthermore, the magistrate of the county is called Bailihou, like the ancient princes, a mere iron official, how can he dare to compare with him.

Huan Yi chatted with Huang Qiao again, and invited Liu Jing to the city.

Liu Jing shook his head and refused: "Now that Leiyang is initially settled, the Lord must be involved in many affairs, so I won't make trouble for you." Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and then said: "I am going to go to the mine with Huang Ling. Check it out."

Huan Yi took a meaningful look at Liu Jing, and said in his heart: "Zhongda came to Leiyang this time, escorting me is probably the second most important thing. This is his real reason."

Liu Jing said again: "After I leave, if something happens to the Duke, you can directly recruit the soldiers who stayed outside the city."

Huan Yi nodded and said, "Okay."

There is no need for Liu Jing to talk about other matters. He immediately separated from Huan Yi at the ferry, boarded the carriage, and under the escort of Yu Zheng, Ma Zhou, Chu Fang, Liu Liang, and hundreds of cavalry, he bypassed Leiyang County and went to go west.

It wasn't until after they were on the road that Liu Liang rode his horse alongside Liu Jing's chariot that he found a chance to ask, "Brother Cong, why do you know there are Liangzhou natives in Leiyang Tieguan?"

Liu Jing explained: "They are all part of the later general Yang Ding. At the beginning, Yang Ding escorted the emperor back to the east, but because of personal grievances, he abandoned the emperor and led his troops south to plunder Nanyang. This angered Liu Jingzhou and sent troops. Killed under Wuguan. These soldiers, for unknown reasons, did not want to submit to Liu Jingzhou, and were relocated to Leiyang Tieguan. I saw them once when they passed Changsha three years ago."

Liu Liang suddenly realized that there was such an inside story, and asked again: "Brother Cong, why are you looking for these defeated Xiliang soldiers?"

Sitting in the car, Liu Jing shook his head and said, "Zi Ming's words are too arrogant. Zhang Xiu was also defeated by the remnants of Xiliang, but Cao Cao fled in a hurry and lost his two sons."

Liu Liang said embarrassingly: "What you learned from brother is that I underestimated the heroes of the world."

Chu Fang asked, "Does Ming Ting want to take them under his command?"

"That's right." Liu Jing nodded.

Chu Fang asked again: "We are from the south and they are from the north. Isn't the Ming court afraid of their rebellion?"

Liu Jing said with a smile: "The sea is inclusive of all rivers, and tolerance is great."

For a while, everyone who heard it was silent.

"Guanzi Dishu Pian" has a cloud: "On a mountain, there is ocher on it, and iron below it; on the lead, there is silver below it; There is copper and gold under it. The one who sees the glory of this mountain is also."

In terms of prospecting, the Huaxia people have summed up a relatively systematic theory early on. Once mineral deposits are found, they will "smelt and cast on the mountain", that is, smelt and cast on the spot near the mine.

Therefore, beside the smelting workshop, there must be mineral deposits, and beside the mineral deposits, there must be a smelting workshop.

Ten miles is not far away, and it only took more than an hour to arrive. Liu Jing did not stop at Yefang, but ordered to go directly to the mine.

After a few more miles, the team finally arrived at the mine, and Tie Guancheng, who didn't know why, came out to meet him. Leiyang in early August was extremely hot, and Tie Guancheng was sweating profusely, and he couldn't figure out who was coming.But no matter who the opponent is, with so many soldiers and horses around him, he must be a big shot that he can't afford.

After Huang Qiao's introduction, Tie Guancheng suddenly realized that although he was still full of questions, he could only hold back and dare not ask.

Guided by Huang Qiao and Tie Guancheng, Liu Jing strode into the mine, and within a short distance, he heard the sound of a flute in front of him.

The sound of this flute is clear and high-pitched, but it also has a touch of sadness, which is quite different from the flute sounds that Liu Jing has heard in the past.

Liu Jing couldn't help but stop and listen, and the others naturally followed suit. It wasn't until the end of the song that Liu Jing asked Huang Qiao and Tie Guancheng, "Do you know who played it?"

Huang Qiao and Tie Guancheng couldn't help but looked at each other, and finally Huang Qiao answered: "This man's name is Han Guang, he is the leader of the Liangzhou people, and he plays the Qiang flute."

Liu Jing suddenly realized that it turned out to be Qiang flute, no wonder the sound of the flute was different from the flute he had heard before.

Liu Jing didn't ask Huang Qiao why Han Guang, an iron official slave, still had time to play the flute. He immediately got out of the crowd and walked in the direction of the sound of the flute.

Going around a forest, I saw a ragged man with disheveled hair and handcuffs, holding a bamboo flute, sitting on the hillside.Beside him, surrounded by a dozen or so prisoners with disheveled hair, and farther away were five or six iron officials in red hoods and black clothes holding knives, obviously watching them.

As soon as Liu Jing appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Behind him were hundreds of well-equipped soldiers, and it was difficult not to attract attention.

Liu Jing looked directly at the person holding the flute, who was named Han Guang as Huang Qiao said.He was about thirty years old, even though he was unkempt and disheveled, he still couldn't hide his extraordinary bearing.

When Liu Jing was looking at Han Guang, Han Guang was also looking at him. Liu Jing was seven feet seven inches tall, tall and straight like a pine, with a high crown on his head and brocade clothes, and his appearance was majestic.However, what impressed Han Guang the most was Liu Jing's eyes. He had only seen this kind of eyes on one person, and that was Lu Bu.

Han Guang thought silently: "This is also a person who is extremely conceited of himself."
