The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 76 The Fat Sheep Delivered to Your Door? (two chapters in one)

According to the price of the Tang Dynasty at that time, the seeds and so on are not counted, let’s just talk about cattle, a healthy cow is 4000 two hundred yuan, the most common horizontal knife is eighty yuan, not to mention war horses, a Turkic Dun horse Nine thousand four.

After a rough calculation, the value of what Han Fu promised at that time was at least five hundred pennies, which made him feel dizzy.

You know, the annual tax revenue of Shuozhou Mansion may not exceed the figure of [-] guan. Now that he drinks this small wine, Shuozhou's annual tax will be gone.

It seems that Li Muyun really relies on mountains to eat mountains, and water to eat water, but the mountains and water are all Han Fu
Thinking of this, Han Fu, who was about to pass out, sat up again: "No, this won't work, what about Li Muyun? Where is he now?"

"Let's go, let's go!" The 'third son' who thought Han Fu was going to faint was startled by him, and stammered:
"Gone? Hurry up, send someone to chase after him!" Hearing that Li Muyun had left, Han Fu said hastily.

Unexpectedly, the yamen servant shook his head: "My lord, you have been sleeping all day and all night, I am afraid that even if you send someone out, you will not be able to chase you back."

What?one day one Night?Han Fu was stunned for a moment: "You mean I slept in the official office for a day and a night?"

"That's right, my lord, the subordinates saw that you were too drunk, so they didn't send you back." 'Third Son' replied.

Looking at this enthusiastic confidant, Han Fu didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Doesn't he know... Forget it, don't think about it, let's think about how to explain to the tigress at home where he went last night when he goes back later.

……

On the official road leading to Shanyin County, Li Muyun was dozing off while sitting in the carriage. The cold wind was raging outside the carriage, and gusts of cold wind blew into the carriage through the curtain, making him shrink his neck unconsciously.

Generally speaking, the trip to Fucheng was considered a success. In addition to bringing in a lot of seeds and cattle, he also brought some weapons and war horses. Although I don't know if Han Fu will bring them all to him, this is at least a good one. Start.

After all, people rely on mountains to eat mountains, and water to eat water. How could Li Muyun let him go so easily while guarding the big tree of Shuozhou thorn.

"Hey, Mu Yun, are you asleep yet?" Between half asleep and half awake, the voice of the third fat man came from the front.

"Bang bang" Li Muyun kicked the carriage a few times, and it was a reply to the three fat guys.

The damn weather can change at any time, without any warning at all. It was fine when I got up and set off in the morning, but it started snowing not long after we were on the road. The strong north wind was blowing. Li Muyun and his party were unprepared Six, uh, seven people were instantly frozen.

"Do you think that person surnamed Han will send us something? You knocked hard enough this time, and I guess he might renege on it." The voice of the three fat men came into the car indistinctly, obviously It was also frozen enough, but it may be because of being too excited. Although this guy was frozen enough, he still had the sex to talk to Li Muyun.

"Bang" this time Li Muyun kicked the carriage, which was a reply to the three fat guys.

"Even though I said that, I didn't see anything. I still don't feel at the bottom of my heart. What should we do if he doesn't give it to us? You are just a Marquis with an empty tube. You can't break him or stretch him!"

"bang bang"

"Are you so sure? I mean what if!"

"bang"

"Okay, then you're ruthless!"

This is a way of communication that is difficult for outsiders to understand. The five minions looked at the fat man with strange eyes, wondering how he could hear what Li Muyun said from one or two taps without any difference.

But the three fat men never got tired of it, relying on this way of communication, they talked for almost an hour.

And just when the three fat guys were chatting, a minion suddenly turned back from the front, and said with some uncertainty: "Master Sanzhai, there seems to be something wrong in front, take a look."

"What's wrong?" The three fat men sat on the carriage and looked into the distance but found nothing.

But that guy pointed to a place farther ahead and said, "It's over there!"

"Where is it?!" The three fat guys sat on the shaft of the car and watched for a long time, but they still didn't find anything.

"Over there, look at the black one, is it smoke?" Seeing that the third fat man couldn't see it, I was a little anxious, jumped up from the horse and pointed to the vaguely forested place in front of me.

"What's the matter with the smoke? Are you afraid that some monsters will come out and eat you?" The third fat man rolled his eyes impatiently, and sneered at the minion's excessive nervousness.

"No, Lord Sanzhai, in this wilderness, there is no village or shop behind. How could someone light a fire in the wild? Don't you think it's strange?"

"What's the matter, maybe the businessmen are tired from walking." The third fat man said indifferently.

"Okay, fat man, he's right. There seems to be a real problem over there. Get ready, let's go over and have a look." Li Muyun, who had been silent all this time, spoke up rarely, and confirmed his next actions with one sentence.

"Why?" The third fat man asked a little depressed because he didn't get Li Muyun's support.

"That's the same thing, this place is too remote, it's impossible for merchants to rest like you said, they will never take a rest in this kind of place regardless of their own safety." Li Muyun patted the fat man's shoulder, thought for a while and then instructed him Said: "Cheer up, the other party is probably not a good idea."

Hearing Li Muyun's solemnity, the three fat men couldn't help becoming nervous: "Then why don't we take a detour..."

"What a detour, there's only one road here, if it's a detour, you can only climb over the mountain, do you think us horses can do it?" Li Muyun was also speechless to the three fat men.

This type of guy is bullying and fearing toughness. Knowing that there is likely to be someone of unknown origin in front of him, he immediately coaxes him. If he had known that he was like this, it would be better not to bring him out.

Moving on all the way, the three fat guys stopped talking very quickly, their mouths were tightly closed, and it was obvious that they were extremely nervous.

And those five minions put their hands on the horizontal knife behind them, as if they were ready to fight desperately at any time.

As the distance got closer, they could already see several tall horses tied outside a small forest, but the strange thing was that none of these horses had saddles, and they were just covered with something similar to sackcloth.

Seeing such a situation, everyone was extremely nervous, because there would be no one else who could ride a horse like this except those Khitans who were like wild men.

And at this moment, a dozen or so men dressed in animal skins sprang out of the forest. It was a cold day, and they looked very savage with only one animal skin on their bodies. If it weren't for Li Muyun holding the three fat men , this thing almost fell off the shaft in fright.

However, it's strange to say that after those men came out of the forest, they didn't pounce on them to rob them as the fat man expected. Anyway, they solemnly bowed their hands far away and greeted them nondescriptly, saying in blunt Datang official dialect : "Khitan Die Ci Department, Die Ci Wood!"

Obviously, this is the guy reporting himself.

On the carriage, the third fatty looked back at Li Muyun nervously: "What, what are you doing?"

"Come with me." Li Muyun patted the third fat man on the shoulder.

When he was dozing off, someone gave him a pillow. Some time ago, he was still talking about going to Khitan, but he didn't expect that the Khitan people came first before he could make the trip.

……

Jumping out of the carriage, Li Muyun brought the three fat men with him to several bare-armed and leather-coated Khitan men, also clasped their fists together, and then said: "Da Tang, Li Muyun."

"Da Tang, Li Jiade!" The three fat men followed Li Muyun's example and also clasped their fists together.

This was the first time Li Muyun knew the name of the third fat man, he couldn't help but glanced at him curiously, and thought to himself, why isn't your name Xijiade, this name sounds so festive.

But before Li Muyun could think about it, the Khitan man on the opposite side said again: "Li, Li Muyun, can you take us to meet the Shuozhou assassin?"

After listening to the other party's question, Li Muyun was secretly vigilant, and asked at the same time: "Do you know me?"

The acquaintance between him and Han Fu only happened in one or two days. It is impossible for someone who is not very close or someone who has been following him during this time to know.

However, what surprised Li Muyun even more was that the other party shook his head: "I don't know you, I just hope you can take us to meet the Shuozhou Inspector, we won't treat you badly." A strip of uncolored fox fur was pulled out from the rucksack on his body: "As long as you see the assassin, this fox fur is yours."

What's the situation?Li Muyun and the three fat men looked at each other, thinking that no one would naturally stay to this extent, right?Just find someone on the road and think you can take them to the highest official in a state?Isn't this bullshit!
However, there are so many nonsense things in this world. Seeing that the two of them were not talking, the man named Diecimu couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and stuffed the pure white fox fur in Li Muyun's hand: "If you take us to See the assassin, I can give you the gift first."

Holy crap, this time I really met Kaizi, Li Muyun kept his expression on the surface, but his heart almost burst into laughter.

If such a cute and cute Kaizi is let go, I would really be sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, Li Muyun coughed, looked at the man and said in a very sincere tone: "This Khitan brother, I can't accept your gift until I complete your commission."

"This..." The man didn't seem to expect that Li Muyun would reject him, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

But fortunately, Li Muyun didn't give him a chance to think too much. After pushing the fox fur back into his hands, he continued, "If you don't mind, can you tell me what you are looking for to find Mr. Assassin?"

"Of course." The man nodded, and then explained his purpose of coming to Datang.

It turned out that this man's real identity was the young patriarch of the Dici tribe, one of the eight Khitan tribes, and the main purpose of coming to Datang was to ask for help.

The reason is that this year's winter seems to be earlier than in previous years, and the heavy snowfall is nearly a month earlier than in previous years. Although Shuozhou has just ushered in the first snow, in fact, the Khitan has already half a month ago. It's already snowed in.

It is precisely because of this that the Dieci tribe did not have time to complete the preparations for the winter. Seeing that if this continues, the tribe will not be able to survive the whole winter, so Diecimu has the idea of ​​coming to the Tang Dynasty for help.

In his view, Khitan has all been subordinated to the Tang Dynasty, and as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, he should be able to get help from the Tang Dynasty if he asks for help.

But he didn't think about it, in fact, the landlord's family didn't have that much surplus food, let alone such a need to support others.

You must know that if Datang wants to support Khitan, it must transport fodder and grain across thousands of miles, and this transportation also needs to consume part of the food and grass. The price that Datang will have to pay will be huge. It's far from the convenience of letting these alien races fend for themselves.

Li Muyun has seen through this point, so he didn't give any hope to Diecimu to see Han Fu, let alone him, even if the brother Daheku who took over as the governor of Songmo came, he might not be able to get a favor from Han Fu. Here to get any grain.

But even though Li Muyun figured this out, he didn't tell Diecimu. He just lowered his head and thought about it, and then said: "Young Patriarch Dieci, I can ask my people to take you to Shuozhou City, and I can also help you. Recommend the assassin Han Fu..."

"Really, really? Thank you, thank you so much!" Diecimu didn't wait for Li Muyun to finish speaking, he thanked Li Muyun repeatedly, and at the same time stuffed the skin in his hand, and the three fat people who watched while pushing were very distressed.

In the end, Li Muyun still didn't get over the pile of thorns, and 'had to' put away the white fox fur.

However, Li Muyun didn't want to take advantage of the thorn tree, so he said again after receiving the fox fur: "The thorn tree, I don't think there is much hope for going to Shuozhou, but if you insist on going, I can't stop you." you."

Unexpectedly, the cute Dietarimu smiled bitterly: "Li Muyun, I can see that you are a good person, and I believe in your judgment. But it is about the life and death of the Dietari tribe, and there is only a glimmer of hope. I also want to go there, don't ask for anything else, just want to feel at ease!"

In Li Muyun's previous life, he was a killer. In his eyes, the concept of right and wrong, good and evil is different from that of ordinary people.

The Khitan family may not be important to Datang, and there may be many people who don't care about their lives.

But for Li Muyun, he recognized this person from the bottom of his heart just based on the words of the thorn tree. His original perfunctory thoughts have somewhat changed, and he looked at him seriously for a while and asked seriously: "Can you answer me?" Is there a problem?"

"Ask." Die Cimu said.

"Why are you so sure that I can let you meet the Shuozhou Inspector?"

"Because of your carriage, because of your guards, how can ordinary people have such a big ostentation when traveling, so when I saw you, I felt that you were at least [-]% sure that you would know the assassin, even if you didn't. For the sake of the fox fur, I will find other people to give me a lesson."

It turned out to be like this, Li Muyun smiled wryly and shook his head, because he thought this guy was a natural idiot just now, but now it seems that this guy is not only not stupid, but has a different kind of intelligence on the contrary.

Thinking of this, Li Muyun sighed, looked at Diecimu and said: "Go to Shuozhou, if Han Fu does not agree to your request, you can come back to Shanyin County to find me, and my people will lead you to find me. "
