Cultivating Immortals from Devouring the Martial Spirit of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 102 The money can make a ghost run the mill

The setting sun is like blood, at sunset.

Lin Sanqing and his party rode their horses along the path, and gradually approached the outskirts of Chengdu Mansion.

There are already many families here, and there are also many pedestrians on the road, so you can inquire about the news at any time.

Lin Sanqing found a roadside restaurant to rest his horse, led Zhao Xue and Dong Siyu into the shop, prepared to eat something, and inquired about news along the way.

After the three of them sat down, they ordered some food and wine.

"Shopkeeper, is there any news in Chengdu Mansion recently?"

While eating, Lin Sanqing asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

Apart from Lin Sanqing and the three of them, there were no other customers in the shop.

After hearing Lin Sanqing's words, the shopkeeper couldn't help asking curiously: "Master, you just came back from the front line?"

Lin Sanqing said: "That's right, I just came back from the Jingzhou front line to receive the reward, I don't know how the situation in the Chengdu mansion is."

"It turns out that the military master came back to receive the reward. Disrespect and disrespect!" The shopkeeper of the restaurant was polite, and then opened the chatterbox.

"Speaking of Chengdu, there have been a lot of news recently, but most of them are trivial and not worth mentioning. The only thing worth mentioning is our commander-in-chief, General Wu. I heard that his old man recently led The army attacked a cottage, and won a complete victory, and the military exploits are not young or old!" The shopkeeper of the restaurant introduced solemnly.

Lin Sanqing laughed secretly, wondering what military achievements Wu Yi had?More than half of the soldiers he brought were wiped out by himself, so this is still called a complete victory?
"General Wu is an ever-victorious general. Isn't it easy to deal with bandits?"

Lin Sanqing followed the shopkeeper's words and continued: "I just don't know if the old man has any new actions. I would have heard that there are many bandits around here."

"That's right," the hotel manager sighed, "If you talk about those bandits, they have been too rampant in the past two years, and they should be rectified. But I don't know whether General Wu will continue to attack bandits, anyway, for the time being Nothing."

"Shopkeeper, do you know who in this area of ​​Chengdu is more well-informed? You also know that I just came back from the border and don't know anything about the situation in the city. I am worried that I will act recklessly and accidentally turn around. Whoever got here, might not only not be rewarded, but also punished!" Lin Sanqing said half-truthfully.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately showed a sophisticated look, and said to him: "Master Jun is really right, there are dragons and snakes everywhere in Chengdu, you are a foreign general, so be careful." Do the right thing."

Lin Sanqing shrugged and said: "It's a pity that there is no one in the next court, and I don't know what to do."

"Isn't it easy for Mr. Jun to know about the affairs of Chengdu Mansion?" While the shopkeeper of the restaurant was talking, he pouted towards the door and said, "Isn't there just a know-it-all squatting at the door?"

Lin Sanqing turned his head and saw a beggar with a broken bowl squatting in front of the restaurant.

Could this beggar be a know-it-all?
But after thinking about it, he soon understood.

It is said that these beggars are wandering around begging, aren't they well-informed?

And as far as he knew, these beggars seemed to have gangs, and some of them even specialized in selling news.

"Thank you for the shopkeeper's reminder. I'll find these know-it-alls to learn more about the situation in Chengdu Mansion later, hehe." Lin Sanqing looked at the shopkeeper and said with a smile.

After eating, Lin Sanqing walked to the door of the restaurant, took out a few copper coins from his pocket and shook them at the beggar.

The beggar's eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord Jun, for the reward!"

Lin Sanqing shook his head and said: "The general's reward is not given to you for nothing, you have to do me a small favor."

The beggar asked curiously, "What does the military master want the young one to do?"

"Who is the leader of your gang of beggars nearby? Lead me to see him, the money is yours." Lin Sanqing threw the copper coins into the beggar's broken bowl.

"What is the military master looking for us for?" The beggar asked Lin Sanqing curiously.

Lin Sanqing snorted: "Of course I have something to do with him, you don't need to know!"

"The reward you gave, military lord, is not enough." The beggar grinned and raised a finger and said, "If you want to see our general manager, you need at least one tael of silver."

Lin Sanqing was full of amusement, thinking that he was just a small leader of the gang of beggars, and it would cost so much money to meet him?

In desperation, Lin Sanqing took out two liang of silver and handed it to the beggar, saying, "The extra one liang is for you, let's lead the way!"

"Yes, Lord Jun, please come with me!"

When he stepped forward, the beggar immediately smiled, nodded and bowed, and led the way ahead.

Not long after, the beggar led Lin Sanqing and his party into a manor house.

"Little ones, practice everything, maybe you can follow me to fight the enemy in the future!"

In the courtyard, a bald-headed martial artist with beards was sitting reclined on the grand master's chair with a big belly, directing several ragged, skinny beggars to practice boxing.

"President Wang, this military master wants to see you," the beggar stepped forward to salute the bald martial artist.

The martial artist glanced at Lin Sanqing, did not get up, but said indifferently: "Master Jun is here, what's the matter?"

Seeing the arrogance of the martial artist, Zhao Xue immediately stepped forward and scolded: "You are so arrogant, you still don't visit my husband when you see him, don't you want to ask for a fight?"

"Little girl, you'd better be more polite. I don't know any Mr. Jun. I only know that this is my territory. Even if the emperor comes, I won't be afraid!"

While the martial artist was speaking, he waved to the beggars who were practicing boxing, and the beggars immediately grabbed their knives and guns and surrounded the three of them.

Seeing this, Zhao Xue couldn't help picking up the abduction gun.

Lin Sanqing suppressed her hand, then walked forward with a smile, looked at the martial artist and said: "I'm Wu Ming, I haven't asked you how to call the general manager."

"My name is Wang Fu, what do you want from me?"

Wang Fu draped his clothes obliquely, fiddled with the two iron balls in his hand, looked at Lin Sanqing and said, "Wu Ming, nameless, you hide your head and show your tail, do you want to do something bad?"

Hearing Wang Fu's words, Lin Sanqing smiled helplessly, thinking that you are a bit too smart.

You have to know some things, it's better not to tell the truth. Once you tell the truth, it's not beautiful.

"I don't want to do bad things, but I want to make a deal with Mr. Wang," Lin Sanqing took a cloth bag from his waist while speaking, opened the bag and shook it at Wang Fu.

"This, so much gold—"

The bag contained more than a dozen pieces of gold cakes. Wang Fu was a little distracted for a while, but he quickly reacted, looked around quickly, waved the beggars away, and then invited Lin Sanqing in respectfully. sit.

"Ahem, err, please, Mr. Jun, if you have something to discuss!"

Entering the hall, both parties sat down, Wang Fu asked the servant girl to pour tea, and then asked Lin Sanqing in a low voice: "What's the matter, Mr. Jun? There is no one else here, so you just say it's okay."

Lin Sanqing took a sip from the teacup, looked at Wang Fu and asked, "Does Mr. Wang know anything about the affairs in the Chengdu mansion?"

Wang Fu smiled and said: "I know a thing or two, but I don't know what the military master is asking about."

"He's from the commander-in-chief's residence," Lin Sanqing replied.

"Ah, this, this..." Wang Fu hesitated and said, "I really don't know much about it, but if the military master really wants to know, I can send someone to inquire immediately."

Lin Sanqing frowned and said: "President Wang, this is not a joke. Most of the affairs of the Commander-in-Chief's Duwei's Mansion are related to the soldiers. Are you sure you can get the news?"

"Don't worry, this matter is covered by Wang. That's the price. Hehe, you have to be fair, Mr. Jun. Those brothers below risked their lives to find out information for you," Wang Fu said. Glancing at the cloth bag in Lin Sanqing's hand, his expression was full of greed.

Seeing that Wang Fu was full of greed, Lin Sanqing was relieved.

He came to spend money to buy news, and what he wanted was that the other party was greedy enough.

If the other party is not greedy, the money will be useless.

"Don't worry, the boss, as long as the information is accurate, I will not begrudge the reward!"

While Lin Sanqing was speaking, he took out five gold cakes and put them on the table next to Wang Fu, and said to him: "These are the deposit, take it to the boss first, and buy some wine for the brothers!"

"Hey hey, easy to talk about!"

Wang Fu's eyes lit up, he quickly put the gold cake into his pocket, and then called in several beggars under him.

"You go to the Chengdu mansion now, and ask me carefully about the news of the commander-in-chief Duwei's mansion. If there is any movement, report it immediately!" Wang Fu said to his subordinates.

The beggars took orders, turned and hurried away.

After arranging his subordinates, Wang Fu turned to Lin Sanqing and said, "Just wait patiently, sir. I believe there will be news soon."

"Well, then I'll have to take care of you!" Lin Sanqing cupped his hands at Wang Fu.

"Hey, it's no fun to wait like this. If you don't mind, how about we play two games?"

Wang Fu felt it was boring to wait, and wanted to play chess with Lin Sanqing to pass the time.

Lin Sanqing didn't realize that he could play chess with such a rough appearance, so he readily agreed.

Wang Furang laid out the chessboard, and played against Lin Sanqing in a serious manner.

Nineteen paths vertically and horizontally, how many people are lost?
This is the charm of the game of Go. Once you get into it, the time flies so fast, two hours will pass before you know it.

The result of the game can be imagined, Lin Sanqing had already made up his mind to give up, but in the end Wang Fu still lost in a complete mess.

In the last game, Lin Sanqing had no choice but to ask Zhao Xue to hold the hand, which allowed Wang Fu to win the half hand by luck.

After the last game, it was dark.

Wang Fu sent someone to bring food and wine, invited Lin Sanqing to the table, and arranged a room for them to stay temporarily and wait for news.

After Lin Sanqing had dinner, he went into the room, and before he had time to rest, Wang Fu came jolting over.

"Sir, there is news!"

Wang Fu took out a note from his arms with excitement and handed it to Lin Sanqing: "The commander-in-chief Duwei's mansion really has a big move!"

Lin Sanqing took a look at the note, frowned immediately, and said in astonishment: "Is this all true? They will be dispatched tonight?"

Wang Fu nodded and said, "It's absolutely true. I've confirmed it again and again. They will attack Erlong Mountain tonight. This is the news disclosed by Wu Yi's deputy general Zhang Nan. It is absolutely unmistakable!"
