poor people

Chapter 10, if you have money, you must have power

Zhuang Yutang attached great importance to the addition of a secret passage leading directly outside the pass under the post station, and sent the letter to Feige directly to the Governor's Mansion.

The Duhu Mansion also attached great importance to this, and within two days the newly appointed Yi Cheng was sent over.

Outside the post station, Li Sanlang took Li Wuya and Li Qilang to lie on the slope more than ten meters away, watching Zhuang Yutang and his party farewell to the new postman from a distance.

Looking at the boxes of medicinal materials dragged by Zhuang Yutang's men on horseback, Li Wuya's face was full of pain.

Those should have been her trophies.

It's a pity that she can't keep it now, so she can only watch others take it away.

Li Qilang noticed that Li Wuya's complexion was not right, and quickly asked, "Fifth Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Li Wuya clutched her chest: "My heart hurts."

Li Sanlang looked over immediately: "Wuya, are you uncomfortable?"

Li Wuya nodded with a bitter face, pointed at Zhuang Yutang and others who rode away on horseback, and complained: "They took away my medicinal materials, and they should all be mine!"

Uh.
Li Sanlang didn't know what to say, so he considered for a while and said, "Wuya, General Zhuang has already given us a box of medicinal materials."

He was already very surprised by this.

General Zhuang is a member of the Dieling Pass, a third-rank official, and in normal times, he is a big man who they can't even meet face to face. Like the situation at the post station before, even if he doesn't give them anything, they can't say anything.

He was already very content with getting an extra box of medicinal materials.

Li Wuya rolled her eyes, looking at the silly brother who said she should be content all over her face, she was very tired.

That group of Beiyan people were overthrown by her, okay?

If it weren't for her, not to mention whether the military defense map could be captured, Zhuang Yutang and his group would have died a lot.

She has done a great job!
Li Qilang, who was deeply influenced by Li Wuya, also felt that their things had been robbed, so he said dissatisfiedly with a puffy face: "Those medicinal materials are originally our trophies, and those who robbed them are robbers. I really hate it!"

Li Sanlang choked, looked at his younger brother and sister who had a long face, and said with a headache: "General Zhuang is already very good, if it were someone else, such as the lieutenant general, we might not get anything."

Hearing this, Li Wuya sighed: "It's because we are too weak, powerless and powerless, even if we get good things, we can't keep them."

Li Qilang didn't agree with this, and retorted: "Our family has power, father is Xiaoqi, and he has ten soldiers under his command."

Li Wuya's face was numb: "Xiaoqi is only a seventh-rank official, the smallest official in the guard, and has no power."

Li Qilang admired Li Changsen the most, and immediately said: "That is also an official, every time Dad comes back from vacation, even the head of the village will come to the house to look for Dad."

"Goudan and the others are envious of me having a father who is Xiaoqi. Well, when my father comes home next time, I must talk to him and let him be Xiaoqi all the time, so that I can always be Goudan and them the boss."

Looking at her smug younger brother, Li Wuya felt the urge to cover her face, took a deep breath, and said earnestly, "Qilang, have you forgotten what my sister told you before, that you need to be ambitious?"

"What is a small flag? We need to have a bigger vision. If you think about it, our father will become a hundred households, a thousand households, and even a commander in the future."

Li Qilang's eyes straightened when he heard it, can he think so?

Baihu and Qianhu are very big officials, and I heard that it is very difficult to be appointed; there is also a command envoy, according to the grandpa of the head of the village, the emperor has to accept his fate in person.

Li Wuya continued to say: "Just take this incident as an example, even if our father has a hundred or a thousand households, that General Zhuang probably wouldn't just give us a box of medicinal materials."

"Because we are weak and have nothing to make others feel scruples, so even if those things are our trophies, they can take them away openly and give us a little bit from them. We have to be grateful to Dade."

"Qilang, you have to remember that if we want to live well, we must have power, yes, we must have money. Otherwise, we can only watch others take our things like this now."

Li Qilang hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "No, we can't let others steal our things."

Li Wuya patted Li Qilang on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Then we have to work hard, work hard to become strong, work hard to become powerful."

"If we don't have the ability, even if we get the best things, we won't be able to keep them."

Li Qilang nodded his head: "I understand this, just like this time when we took the medicinal materials home, Grandma and Second Uncle came to snatch them. If we were not better, the medicinal materials would be snatched by Grandma and them."

Li Wuya looked at Li Qilang with childish eyes, full of satisfaction.

This younger brother has loved to cling to her since she was a child, like a little tail. As an older sister, she has the responsibility and obligation to educate people to become talents.

Li Qilang was greatly encouraged by the sight, his chin was lifted, his chest was straight, his face was flushed with excitement, but soon, his face froze, and he weakly begged for proof: "Sister, dad can really be a hundred households, a thousand households. Hu, can you still be a commander?"

Li Wuya nodded affirmatively, and said: "As long as you dare to think and do it, there is nothing you can't do."

One is the most admired father, and the other is the most convinced sister. Li Qilang was immediately convinced, and he grinned: "Then father will definitely be a hundred households, a thousand households, and a commander in the future."

Li Sanlang on the side watched blankly the whole time as his younger siblings were daydreaming in broad daylight.

Dad has served in the guard for more than 20 years, and only became a small flag four years ago. How can it be so easy to get promoted?
He is ten years old this year, and he has heard a lot of things in the village, and he knows that it is difficult for people like them who have nothing to do with them and have no money to take care of them to go up.

If Dad wants to be promoted, he can only fight for his life on the battlefield, but this is really hanging his head on the waistband of his trousers.

He would rather his father always be Xiaoqi than risk him on the battlefield.

At this time, Zhuang Yutang and his party had already rode away, and the post station returned to its usual state.

Seeing Yicheng turn around and enter the station, Li Sanlang immediately took Li Wuya and Li Sanlang straight to the backyard of the station.

"Third brother, Qilang, let's go directly to the kitchen later, if we meet someone, you should go forward and hold them back, I will go into the secret passage and take out the hidden things."

Although the postman is a new school, the guys in the station are still the same.

The people in the inn knew that it was Li Sanlang who overthrew the Beiyan people with medicine, so they survived. Therefore, after seeing the three brothers and sisters of the Li family coming to the inn, most of them were very friendly.

Li Sanlang and Li Qilang were in charge of greeting people. Taking advantage of them attracting everyone's attention, Li Wuya sneaked into the kitchen and got into the secret passage.

The three brothers and sisters worked together in a division of labor, and without arousing anyone's suspicion, they successfully took out the baggage hidden in the secret passage.

"Fifth Sister, quickly see if there is anything missing?"

When the three of them left the station, Li Qilang hurriedly urged Li Wuya to check the baggage.

Li Wuya looked at Li Qilang who was staring at the bag with a funny face: "There will be no less, sister can hide things." After speaking, he opened the bag.

A blood ginseng, a blood mushroom, a small packet of Cordyceps, and two sabers.

"It's a pity that the sword is gone!"

When mentioning Huyanhe's saber, Li Sanlang also showed regret.

Hu Yanhe is an eighth-rank master, his saber is not ordinary.

Unfortunately, it was taken away by Zhuang Yutang.

Li Sanlang packed the things carefully, and then took his younger brothers and sisters back to the army.

At the gate of the post station, Dong Wencheng, the new post chief, sent the old man Zhou out of the post post post, and at a glance, he saw the three brothers and sisters of the Li family who were going home hand in hand.

"That's Li Sanlang who turned Beiyan's people?"

Old man Zhou nodded: "Yeah."

Dong Wencheng smiled and said: "The foot is steady, that kid has learned martial arts?"

The old man Zhou nodded: "Didn't you learn it before? His father Li Changsen is a Xiaoqi of the Xining Guard, and his boxing skills are very good. Sanlang has been learning from his father for the past two years."

Dong Wencheng smiled: "That's right. I have seen the three Beiyan people killed by Li Sanlang. Even if they were raided or poisoned, Li Sanlang would not be able to take them down if he had no martial arts foundation."

"I met Li Changsen in the Xining Guards. He is a man of strong bones. It is said that he is very brave in killing the enemy, and he also has excellent foreign skills."

The old man Zhou smiled and said, "It was his luck that he met a veteran who was willing to teach him kung fu from his family. Li Changsen entered the guard as a soldier at the age of 13. If he hadn't learned kung fu, he wouldn't be alive today."

Dong Wencheng looked puzzled: "Why did you enter the guard at such a young age?"

Old Man Zhou sighed: "It's not because of his father, Old Man Li. Old Man Li used to be a famous Dunjun. Once, he accidentally fell off a pier and broke his right leg, so he asked Li Changsen to replace him."

Speaking of this, old man Zhou showed some sympathy.

"Li Changsen is also suffering. Old man Li has been raised for a year, and his legs are almost healed. He can go back to be a soldier."

"But old man Li couldn't bear the hardship of being a soldier, so he didn't call back his son for him."

Dong Wencheng was a little stunned when he heard that: "The old man Li is really cruel. Letting his thirteen or fourteen-year-old son replace him as a pawn, is this still a father?"

There was some sarcasm on the corner of Zhou old man's mouth: "Who says it's not."

He despises old man Li very much.

According to the laws of Dayan, soldiers can only retire when they are 50 years old.

Old man Li only turned 20 the year before last, and according to the rule that a military household only pays one penny, it is equivalent to Li Changsen serving nearly [-] years of military service for Old Man Li.

20 years
Li Changsen's fate is really too bad. He has such a selfish father, and by the way, there is also a partial mother at home. Thinking about it, he feels sad for Li Changsen.

Although Dong Wencheng also had some sympathy for Li Changsen, he didn't want to talk too much about other people's family affairs. When he saw more than a dozen people coming from the direction of Juntun, he immediately said:
"Uncle Zhou, I just came here and I'm not familiar with this place. The secret passage under the post station was ordered to be filled in. Later, you have to help me keep an eye on those people who come to work."

The old man Zhou quickly promised: "Don't worry, I will never let them be lazy."

Dong Wencheng nodded: "Uncle Zhou, tell me about these people."

The old man Zhou quickly told Dong Wencheng about the situation of the future people: "By the way, the last three people are Li Changsen's father and two younger brothers."

Dong Wencheng took a look, and immediately clicked his tongue twice: "Li Changsen is tall and big, why are his father and younger brother so short? If you hadn't told me, I really can't imagine that they would be a family. "

The old man Zhou laughed: "Not only are the adults very different, but you didn't see that the children of the second and third bedrooms of the Li family and the fourth brother and sister of Sanlang stood together, and they were immediately compared. Everyone in the village said that the Li family was from the same place. All the good Feng Shui was given to Mr. Li's family."

Dong Wencheng smiled, seeing that the workers had already arrived, he stopped chatting with Old Man Zhou.

At the Tunkou of Tianling, Li Wuya led Li Qilang bouncingly ahead, and Li Sanlang walked behind with a smile on his face.

When the three brothers and sisters were about to enter the tunnel, a man in his thirties walked out from the sidewalk.

The man was limping when he walked, his face was serious and reticent, and he exuded an aura that no strangers should enter. If the timid people saw him, they would not be able to help but detour and stay away.

"Uncle Ye!"

Seeing the man, Li Wuya immediately ran over with a bright smile, and asked very familiarly: "Uncle Ye, when did you come back? How many days are the guards on vacation this time?"

Ye Mo glanced at the little girl in front of him with a thicker skin than the city wall, ignored him, and strode away directly, striding towards the village.

Li Wuya, who had been ignored for countless times, looked stiff for a second, and immediately returned to smiling. Seeing Ye Mo holding a bundle of firewood, he said immediately:

"Uncle Ye, you are often in the guard. I don't think there is much firewood at home, and your bundle won't last long. My brother and I will go and chop some for you."

What answered her was Ye Mo's back without turning his head.

When people walked away, Li Qilang covered his face and looked at Li Wuya: "Fifth sister, don't you always rush to please Uncle Ye like this? It feels very embarrassing."

Li Wuya raised her hand and patted Li Qilang's forehead: "What do you mean by rushing to please? I'm clearly expressing my respect, okay?"

As she said that, her face became a little discouraged. She had been in front of Uncle Ye for two consecutive years, but it was a pity that he didn't let go of him at all.

"Why does Uncle Ye look down on me? It's not bad for a smart kid like me to be a martial arts prodigy. It's not bad for him to accept me as his apprentice!"

Li Sanlang looked at his confident younger sister with a funny face: "Wuya, if you want to learn martial arts, brother can teach you. If you think brother can't do it, wait for father to come back and let him teach you."

Li Wuya showed disgust on her face: "I don't want to learn any foreign kung fu, what if I become Barbie King Kong?"

"What King Kong?"

Li Sanlang and Li Qilang looked at Li Wuya confusedly.

Li Wuya put her arms around her chest and hummed, "Anyway, I just don't want to learn kung fu from outsiders."

In her previous life, because of the harsh living environment, in order to survive, she had to be a tougher woman than a man. Because her aura was too strong, no man dared to approach her, so she was still an older unmarried woman until she died.

It's hard for her to start over again in this life, so she doesn't want to follow the old path of her previous life.

"Learn Kungfu from outsiders, and practice it very well, it's ugly, okay? When I grow up, I want to be a little bird and a girl."

Li Sanlang: "."

A little bird?

Female Jiao'e?
Li Sanlang couldn't help but see the image of his sister picking up a knife and dropping a knife in the post station, and killing the Beiyan people cleanly, and his complexion suddenly became weird.

The little girl seems to be a bit biased in her perception of herself!
