Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 64: Mysterious Scribe

When distributing it to Jiang Yu, Jia Rong took out [-] yuan, that is, ten taels of gold. Jiang Yu declined and said, "Jiang Yu follows the general all his life. It's useless to ask for these things outside of him, so the general will take care of them."

Jia Rong said: "Jiang Yu, don't you need money if you go to the county town ahead to eat? Are you still following me and waiting for me to pay? Take it, go to the county town and use the money to play .”

Jiang Yu took the money and the corner of his mouth twitched, he didn't say anything, and stood aside silently.

Everyone on this trip was given a reward, and even those who declined were prevaricated by Jia Rong with various reasons.

Ten thousand yuan is a lot of money for these soldiers, enough to settle down. The Qiang soldiers in the cavalry looked at Jia Rong with respect and emotion. Since they surrendered to Jia Rong, they have not Being squeezed out by the Han soldiers is something they dare not ask for extravagantly. Now Jia Rong gives them the same reward and treats them as brothers, which strengthens their determination to follow Jia Rong wholeheartedly.

The soldier's request was very simple. A general who did not treat them as ants and treated all soldiers equally was worthy of their devotion, but such a simple request stumped many people.

The gratitude of the soldiers could not shake off Jia Rong's sadness for the deceased, Jia Rong forced himself to leave this place where he was both sad and nostalgic without looking back.

As if to vent his unhappiness, Jia Rong took the lead and galloped away.

A few days later, a group of more than a hundred people passed by Wuwei County again. On the way, Jia Rong saw the barrenness of Xiliang. The word poor livelihood is not enough to describe the current situation of Xiliang. The front line of the country was burdened with a lot of military rations and military service, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Emperor raised taxes, which made the barren Xiliang worse.

Looking at the majestic Wuwei County City in the distance, Jia Rong stopped his thoughts, slowed down his horse, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Go, let's go to the city to rest for a day, and everyone can play to their heart's content. Full text..."

The soldiers behind him screamed excitedly, staying in the army for a long time, these soldiers wanted to go out to play a long time ago, but they never had the chance.

Jia Rong made an appointment with the soldiers at a time and place, and repeatedly asked the soldiers not to make trouble in the city, and they had to pay for food before letting them go.

In particular, he told those Qiang cavalrymen to be more honest in the city. Although Jia Rong didn't care that they were aliens, there must be someone who cared.

Guo Si, Jiang Yu, and Li Shun followed Jia Rong, and the others basically walked into the city in small groups.

When approaching the city gate of Wuwei County, Jia Rong didn't dare to ride his horse like he did in Hechi County, so he obediently got off his horse and walked towards the city gate.

Near noon, there were not many people entering and leaving the city gate, and they soon encountered Jia Rong and Guo Si.

The soldiers guarding the city gate questioned for a long time before letting Jia Rong and the others in, and they did not dare to charge the entry fee.

Jia Rong had seen the prefect of Wuwei County before. He had such a luxurious mansion. If he was said to be an upright official, no one would believe him.

Jia Rong and his party came to the largest inn in the city - Yuelai Inn after inquiring.

The inn in Dajun City is different from the mountain market. Just as Jia Rong walked to the door of the inn, a shop waiter immediately came up and asked, "Masters, are you eating or staying?"

Jia Rong said, "Accommodation."

Xiao Er hastily called a few people over, and led Jia Rong and his party's horses off.

Jia Rong said: "Our horses must be fed with the best fodder, and the money will naturally not be missing from you."

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Don't worry, gentlemen, I will take good care of your horses."

After speaking, he led Jia Rong and his party to the inn.

Jia Rong asked for four upper rooms, put his things away and went down to eat.

The furnishings in the inn are not comparable to those in small towns. The vermilion lacquer tables, vermilion lacquer benches, clean sanitation, fresh environment, and unique geographical location make the business of the inn very prosperous.

After ordering a table of good food and wine, several people ate and talked about some interesting things.

At this time, a person attracted Jia Rong's attention. This person was dressed in a Confucian robe and was slightly thin. He was sitting alone by the window drinking wine. It seemed that something outside the window had always attracted him. When Jia Rong was observing him, he was always He didn't take a look into the inn, and seemed so out of place with the people around him.

Jia Rong stretched his head out of the window curiously. When the Tathagata came, it was still a bustling market. There was nothing worth seeing. The astonished Jia Rong walked towards the scribe with a wine glass in his hands.

Walking up to the scribe, before Jia Rong could speak, he heard the scribe say, "The general has watched me for a long time, what do you mean?"

Jia Rong was taken aback for a moment, he clearly saw him looking out the window all the time, how could he know that he was watching him, did he have eyes in the back of his head, Jia Rong thought viciously.

The scribe turned his gaze from the bustling market to Jia Rong, and said, "Say, what's the matter?"

The scribes wore the usual scholarly clothes of the Han Dynasty. There was nothing unusual about them. What surprised Jia Rong most was the eyes of the scribes. They were the same eyes as Li Ru, and the light from them seemed to be able to see through His inner thoughts were even sharper than Li Ru's eyes.

Jia Rong immediately realized that this person was not simple, but what Jia Rong disliked the most was the feeling of being stared at by others. When he was in the Xiliang military camp, he had to be honest with Li Ru. Now What is there to be afraid of? After thinking about this, Jia Rong also looked at the scribe.

The scribe looked at Jia Rong in surprise, and said, "The general hasn't answered my question yet?"

Jia Rong woke up from the stare, looked at the scribe apologetically, and said, "I was very surprised to see this gentleman looking out of the window all the time. I would like to ask him what he was looking at? Besides, it is fate that you and I meet by chance." , should have a drink."

The scribe laughed and said: "Look at the common people, look at the country!" After speaking, he covered his face with his sleeve and drank the wine in front of him in one gulp.

Jia Rong hurriedly drank the wine in his hand, and then poured wine for the scribes himself.

Feeling that there was not much wine left in the jug, Jia Rong shouted: "Xiaoer, bring another jug ​​of the best wine here."

The scribe didn't show any gratitude at all, as if he knew that Jia Rong was going to ask him for wine, everything was so logical.

Jia Rong picked up the wine and gave the scribe a meal, then poured the wine into his stomach, feeling the warmth in his stomach, and couldn't help but praise: "Good wine! But it's not strong enough." I'm used to drinking high-quality wine in modern times. The wine had no taste in Jia Rong's mouth.

After the scholar drank the wine, he was even more amazed at Jia Rong. According to his own thinking, the person in front of him must not understand what he said, and then he would ask himself. Unexpectedly, Jia Rong didn't ask questions. Could it be that he didn't hear what he said? That sentence.

When Jia Rong said that the wine was not strong enough, the scribes did not agree with it, saying: "The general is wrong, this wine is the best among wines, the wine is strong, so why not say it is not strong enough?" Said that Jia Rong didn't understand wine.

Jia Rong retorted: "Sir, why did you say that? Since I said that this wine is not strong enough, it must be because I have drank alcohol that is stronger than this wine. Why do you judge it based on the words of the family?"

The scribe didn't know whether he was arguing but Jia Rong still didn't want to argue with Jia Rong, so he just looked at Jia Rong quietly, as if he wanted to see Jia Rong thoroughly.

The two just sat there quietly, Xiao Er had already presented the fine wine, but the two of them did not move.

It was Jia Rong who was the first to break the weird atmosphere, poured the fine wine, and said with a smile, "Haha, it would be a waste not to drink the fine wine!"

The scribe didn't drink, and asked, "Where is the general from?"

Jia Rong waved his hand and said, "Sir, it sounds awkward to call me a general. My surname is Jia, my name is Rong, and my name is Zhiyuan. You can call me Zhiyuan, sir. I am from Hechi County, Wuwei."

The scribe nodded and said "Oh" before saying anything else.

Jia Rong was quite dissatisfied. He didn't expect that he would report himself as a well-behaved family, but the scribe just said "oh" and then stopped talking. He couldn't help being a little angry. This scribe is too rude.

"Why aren't you talking?" Jia Rong asked clearly in his tone.

The scribe chuckled and said, "I already know what I need to know, so what else can I say?"

After finishing speaking, he looked out of the window and at the bustling market.

It's not that Jia Rong didn't hear what the scribe said earlier, but that he didn't understand what it meant, so he thought about what the sentence meant before answering the scribe in front of him.

Sometimes there is an unspeakable gap between the thinking of the ancients and the thinking of modern people, which also caused the scribes to have the illusion of Jia Rong.

Seeing that the scribes ignored him, Jia Rong, who felt bored, hurriedly finished his meal and settled the account of the scribes before going back to rest.

While eating dinner, Jia Rong looked at the seat by the window at noon, and found that the scribe was still sitting there drinking. I don't know if the scribe has been sitting here or came earlier.

Jia Rong said to Guo Bang: "Brother, you three can order whatever you want. I'll go over there and have a look." After speaking, he pointed to Guo Bang in the direction of the scribe.

Jia Rong asked for a jug of fine wine, sat down beside the scribe, and filled it up for himself.

"Are you here again?" The scribe seemed to expect Jia Rong to come.

Jia Rong nodded, "Yes".

Looking at the scribe's eyes that didn't care about him, Jia Rong was furious. It was the same with the scribe at noon. He left because he felt bored.

Since scribes don't care about themselves, Jia Rong kept pouring wine and drinking, pinning all his nostalgia for Xiu'er on the wine.

Looking at Jia Rong, the scribe asked in surprise, "What's the matter with you, General?"

Jia Rong drank the glass of wine that had just been filled, and sighed, "Take a knife to cut off the water, and the water will flow more, and raise your glass to relieve your sorrow and sorrow!"
