Chapter 934 is really tricky

Xie Yuan was silent for a while, and asked:

"Even if he is pretending, what can he do? Could it be that he can send troops to surround and kill us? It doesn't matter what he thinks, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Liuzhen smiled disapprovingly, and said:
"In addition to the open gun, there are also hidden arrows, so it's impossible to say where I will hit you."

Xie Yuan's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking, and after a while he said:

"You'd better think about this kind of thing, just let me know if you think about it."

At this moment, a loud noise was heard in the distance.

Different from the language of various Hu people here, it is serious Chinese and a local accent are arguing.

In this military town, this kind of situation is really rare, Xie Yuan hastily walked a few steps, and searched for the commotion.

Shen Liuzhen followed closely behind, and the two of them turned a street corner, and saw a long line in the alley on the right, and the line was indeed filled with soldiers from her central camp.

At the end of the alley is a simple thatched hut, under which stood a wrinkled old Xianbei man, shouting in broken Chinese:
"Without money, what horseshoes do you come for?!"

The one who was arguing with him was a Han Chinese cavalryman, holding the reins of the horse, and said angrily:

"It was your supervisor who ordered that horseshoes can be exchanged for free everywhere in the military town. If you want money, you can go with your supervisor! What do I want?!"

"Give me the money! If you don't have money, you won't change it!" The old man pushed back very stubbornly.

The Han cavalryman blushed, stared at him for a while with grievance and anger, seemed to want to bear it, but couldn't swallow it, pointed at the old man's nose and said:
"I'm also a member of Wei Guozhong's guards, why don't you change it for me! I will change it today, or I will smash your shed!"

People queuing up behind him also made noises one after another, some Han people and some Hu people mingled together, buzzing, unable to understand anything.

Just look at the expressions, some are angry, some are puzzled.

Unexpectedly, when the old man saw this, he threw the horseshoe pliers in his hand, and cried excitedly in Xianbei dialect, tears came out.

As Xie Yuan walked forward quickly, he asked Shen Liuzhen:

"What did he say?"

Shen Liuzhen coughed twice, then quickly stretched out his palm to cover his mouth, and whispered:

"He said that the governor said that he would not give money, which is considered free corvee. Why do you people want to empty out my shop? Since you came, it has been requisitioning food and corvee, and making people live Already!"

Xie Yuan listened to this and walked to the front quickly.

The soldiers gathered in the front turned their heads and saw Xie Yuan walking by, they all had serious expressions, and hurriedly led the horses back into a line, standing upright, and made way for her.

The Han Chinese cavalry, who were blushing and thick-necked just now, subconsciously felt that the atmosphere was not right.

He is really familiar with this kind of atmosphere, and it often happens when the commanders of the military camp come to make inspections.

He stiffened his body and turned his head to see that it was indeed Xie Yuan. He immediately recovered his expression, stood up straight and called out honestly:
"Commander."

The excited Xianbei old man, seeing these people and Xie Yuan was like a mouse seeing a cat.

He didn't dare to say anything anymore, he just opened his panicked eyes and looked back and forth at the two Han people, Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen.

They all know that there are also many high-ranking and powerful Han Chinese in Pingcheng, which ordinary military households like them can't afford to mess with.

Old man Xie Yuan stood still in front of him, turned his head to face his own soldiers, and asked with a serious voice:
"He doesn't want to repair it for you. You can change to another place. Why are you playing tricks here?"

The soldier lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to look into Xie Yuan's eyes, and said aggrievedly:
"Several Xianbei people in front of me have changed, and when he came to me, his face suddenly changed, and he asked me to pay. It is clearly aimed at discriminating against us Han people. I can't swallow this breath!"

Xie Yuan's face darkened, he turned his head to look at the old man, then his face softened a little, and said to him in a gentle voice:
"Anyway, you can't buy and sell by force, let alone we don't have any money. You go back first, and I'll talk about it after I figure out the rules here."

Hearing that, the Han cavalryman immediately answered "Yes." Then he raised his eyes and glared at the old man angrily.

It can be seen that although he was reluctant, he obeyed the order, turned around neatly, took the rein and walked back, and said loudly to the others as he walked:
"The commander has an order, let's go back to the camp first!"

When the people standing in line at the back heard this, they didn't say much, turned around and lined up in a polite manner, led the horses and left.

Soon, Xie Yuan, Shen Liuzhen, and the old man were left at the entrance of the alley.

The soldiers and carriages following them were waiting outside the alley.

Xie Yuan opened his mouth to speak, but quickly closed it again, and gave Shen Liuzhen a look.

Shen Liuzhen understood, and then took a step forward, and said to the old man in Xianbei dialect:

"Thank you for your hard work, old man, I want to ask you something."

The old man was even more surprised when he saw that Shen Liuzhen was a Han, Xianbei spoke so well, and he was young and very beautiful, so he opened his mouth slightly and didn't say a word.

Shen Liuzhen smiled gently, pointed to Xie Yuan next to him, and introduced:

"She is the commander of the Central Guard Army on this expedition, and I am the servant next to His Majesty. We only know that His Majesty ordered that after arriving here, the military town on the border will be responsible for the supplies and food. I don't know that it will cause so much damage to the old man. burden.

His Majesty has brought the Central Guard Army here before, as far as I know, the military town is responsible for the supplies.Is this time any different from the past? "

The old man looked at Shen Liuzhen, then at Xie Yuan, and saw that the two of them were humbly asking for advice, neither domineering nor reprimanded.

He hesitated for a moment, mustered up his courage and said angrily:

"Of course it's different! The people who came here in the past were all Xianbei people... Besides, when your Majesty fights, he always trades for spoils, and he never loses money."

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he raised his chin in understanding.He idly hugged his sleeves, looked at the old man for a while with flickering eyes, seemed to be thinking, but didn't speak.

Xie Yuan waited impatiently, raised his elbow and poked him, and asked:

"Speak, what are you thinking? What did you ask?"

Only then did Shen Liuzhen come to his senses, smiled gently at the old man, and said something elegantly in Chinese:
"Thank you for your clarification, goodbye."

Then he pulled Xie Yuan past him, turned around and walked back.

Xie Yuan didn't know why, but he still followed him.

After waiting outside the entrance of the alley, Shen Liuzhen said:

"I probably know what kind of criticism I will receive when I return to Pingcheng. It's really tricky. I didn't think about this beforehand."
