Dragonborn Spring and Autumn

Chapter 3 How I Am My Jiemei, Jieren

"Brother Yuanlei suffered a severe head injury yesterday, maybe he forgot about it," Lehe was so embarrassed that he drove the other little beggars out to dig wild vegetables to make some food. After the temple quieted down, he said, "Every month we catch Li slaves can earn three or four silver coins, that is, three or four hundred Tongbao, and two or three bamboo mats can be made, and Mr. Liu at the grocery store can sell them for help, and they can earn five or six silver coins. You can earn 850 to [-] Wen. Yesterday, the kind military master dropped four silver coins, and there are two more days to the end of this month, so we can save [-] and add four silver coins."

"Then we make a lot of money every month, how can we live in such a difficult situation?" Li Yuanlei was puzzled.

"Two days later, we have to pay the monthly money to the beggar gang. According to the head, we have 15 silver coins per month. This month is the deadline for the money owed before. With interest, we have to pay a total of 17 silver coins this month. That is to say, we There are still six silver coins and fifty tongbao short." Lehe rolled his eyes and said, "If it weren't for being so nervous, I couldn't promise you that you said to steal some tomatoes yesterday."

"What will happen if you don't make it all together?" Li Yuanlei asked a little embarrassedly.

"The beggar gang is not easy to mess with. The leader of the gang, Long Taibao, is a talkative master. Look at the Huazi with missing arms and legs in the market. How many of them owe money to his old man? Look at Mr. Liu and the others. , don’t you still have to prepare a tribute to the old man after paying the city lord’s tax!” Jiang Jinyan said with a serious face.

"That is to say, the money we can earn after a month of hard work is not enough to pay the protection fee?"

"Protection fee...you can put it this way." Lehe scratched his head.

"Then how did we survive?" Li Yuanlei was a little taken aback.

"In the past, younger brothers and sisters would go begging, and I would try my luck in a safer area outside the Yamao Fortress to find the beast core, but last month you didn't say that we can no longer beg for food, younger brothers and sisters are young, and they will get used to relying on handouts To live, we have to live with our backs straight. You said that you would take us to live in a village full of Chinese, so the younger brothers and sisters have basically been idle for the past two months. They can only look for wild vegetables around the ruined temple and help catch them. Some small animals to fill the hunger. Lord Jiang stepped up his inspection of the fortress, and he hasn't been home for two months, and Dazui has never received pocket money, and I haven't found a chance to get close to the fortress to find the beast core..." Le He's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he felt that the lack of money this month was the reason why he didn't look for the beast core.

"Brother Li, don't worry. At worst, I'll fight hard. In the afternoon, I'll go to Daying to find my dad some money to spend!" Jiang Jinyan stood up with a tragic face and wanted to leave, "A good brother must show loyalty, he You can't do anything to me!"

"My lord trespassing on the barracks can really cut off your head!" Lehe grabbed Jiang Jinyan and said.

"Don't worry about talking too much," Li Yuanlei thought for a while, he found some interesting things in the original owner's memory, but because his understanding of this world was limited to the ruined temple and the original owner's memory, he was also a little uncertain, no Knowing whether this matter is feasible, "The beast that lays eggs can improve the quality of all aspects by relying on the beast core, but the one that gives birth can't, right?"

"Of course, the egg-laying beasts can eat the animal cores produced by animals of the same kind and lower bloodlines. If the calving beasts eat the animal cores, they may die of brain explosion." Jiang Jinyan said, "I knew it when I was very young."

"Then have you ever heard of something that can prevent a calving beast from exploding its brain and dying after eating the nucleus?" Li Yuanlei asked.

"Impossible!" Jiang Jinyan and Lehe said in unison.

"How about this, we can catch five or six raccoon slaves every time we collect the cages. I have limited mobility, so please go and collect the cages," Li Yuanlei found a very useful thing in the memory of the original owner. I remember that when the original owner was very young a few years ago, what he looked forward to most every day was the stories about some herbs and beasts from the East that his grandfather would tell him when he was free.After all, he was already in his 30s before time travel, and after working in the workplace for so long, seeing that the two people in front of him regarded him as a big brother, he unceremoniously gave an order, "Da Zui has an important task for you, please give it to Da Zui!" Take 50 Tongbao, Dazui, go to the market to buy some miscellaneous fish, and then go to the pharmacy to buy some Jiemei, remember, if you let someone know about this, we brothers will have nothing to do!"

"Jiemei? Li Ge'er, don't you want to pour enchantment soup on people?" The two looked at Li Yuanlei in astonishment.

"Go ahead and buy it, I have a lot to worry about!" Li Yuanlei said with encouragement and support when he felt sleepy for a while.

Jiang Jinyan's small breasts slapped loudly, and Lehe and Lehe both left the ruined temple after handing over the copper coins.

Li Yuanlei's body was indeed too weak, and he was seriously injured. After talking for a while, he couldn't hold on anymore, and fell asleep again.

To the northeast of Meteor Dragon City, the original yamen of Meteor Dragon City was changed into the City Lord's Mansion.The study in the back hall of the city lord's mansion.

The city lord Zeya is a heroic young man. He took over from his father as the city lord of the Meteor Dragon City in the West Dragon Kingdom when he was in his early twenties. He has more than a thousand strong soldiers under him, well equipped with armor, and his military strength has far surpassed his father as the city lord. It's time.During this period of time, he dispatched the most elite fighters in the city to capture dinosaurs and large beasts suitable for domestication and combat throughout the Meteorosaurus Field. He accidentally discovered a tyrannical beast that had been domesticated before, which made him extremely excited. After the capture and domestication are completed, it is time to launch a campaign to wipe out the barbarians who have been entrenched in the Yamon fortress.

At this moment, he was carelessly stirring the juice in the glass, not even looking at the man in Confucian shirt standing in front of the table.

"In the past few days, find a way to get together, Mr. Cao," Zeya stared at the vortex stirred up by the juice and slowly pursed his lips, "You know what it means for tyranny to go to battle. In a few days, the whole West I, Zeya, is the only one who is tyrannical in Longba City! He is a shameless old beggar, and dares to clamor that all the places that the sun doesn't shine in Dragon City belong to him. Oh, he is your uncle, this time The matter of recruiting Jieren is done well, I will ask him to confirm the position of Long Taibao. After five days, Tyranny will enter the city, but if there is one missing Jieren, you have to give me an explanation!"

With a plop, the middle-aged man in Confucian shirt known as Cao Shiguan bowed and knelt down, and big beads of sweat fell down the tip of his nose directly on the wooden floor of the study.

"My lord, I must gather 20 intermediaries!"

"I know that you still lack a few steel rock horned dragons in your caravan. My city officials don't need to worry about these trivial matters. Go ahead and settle this matter with peace of mind."

Following three solid muffled sounds, City Officer Cao stepped back and walked out with blood dripping from his forehead.

Cao Shiguan's name is Cao Derang, and his style name is Zihuai. His ancestors were originally the lords of Meteor Dragon City in the former dynasty.At the time of the overthrow, his ancestors no longer had the bloody courage of the past, so they directly opened the city gate, and the meat tank came out.The new city lord is the ancestor of Zeya. In order to digest the huge Meteor Dragon City and its surrounding territories as soon as possible, he also set up six official positions: punishment, soldier, worker, city, beast, and farmer, following the six tribes of the Chinese. In addition to the three official positions in charge of military affairs, giant beasts and criminal names respectively, the three officials of city, agriculture and industry were all granted to the aristocratic families among the surrendered Chinese.Cao Derang's family, as the leader of the local Chinese, was generously awarded by the new city lord as a city official in charge of industry and commerce and market order.

Turning out of the back hall, the two young servants saw the blood on Cao Shiguan's head, and rushed to meet him, took out a handkerchief to help wipe the blood.

"Wipe!" Cao Shiguan grabbed the handkerchief from the boy's hand and pressed it on his forehead, flipped his mustache, "Prepare the sedan chair, Fengle Building! Go and call me that old thing... Please come!"

The two young men had just arranged each other's work with their eyes tacitly, when they saw a burly man turning around in front of the screen wall, with a figure of [-] meters, and a wart armor made of stainless steel. , with animal horns and dragon scales hanging from his waist, he rode a short bow with six iron-feathered armor-piercing heavy arrows inserted obliquely. Three meteorite-like steel projectiles were thrown into a circle by him with one hand. What's more noticeable is that His face was covered with a piece of lake-blue silk covering his mouth and nose, on which were two large Chinese characters: Silence.

The man just cast a sideways glance at the three of them, and the city official Cao immediately rushed to the side of the road and clasped his hands. Step down and bow quickly.

"General Ha is back." City Officer Cao and the two servants greeted with lowered eyebrows.

The so-called General Ha kept silent, as if he had no interest in saying hello, and walked straight towards the inner hall without looking at it, leaving everyone waiting on the spot at a loss.

"I still want to invite you, don't you?" After the sound of footsteps could no longer be heard, Cao Derang kicked each of the two servants. The two of them were kicked unexpectedly, but they were also clever, and hurriedly ran out. Go, although Cao Derang's kicks were not strong, but seeing the distressed appearance of the two servants, and looking at the scribes and helpers around who still dare not raise their heads, his confidence returned in an instant.

"Go to your own business, don't disturb your lord and General Ha to discuss secrets!" After saying that, he waved his big hand, stepped out of the city lord's mansion, and took a sedan chair to the most luxurious Fengle building in the dragon city. up.

At the wonton stall not far from the gate of the mansion, a pair of numb eyes flashed a falcon-like light when Cao Derang's sedan chair passed by, instantly making the temperature of Yaqian Street drop by a few points.

"Don't worry." It was a beautiful female voice, like a spell, which instantly melted all the surrounding frost and made this spring become spring again.
