Lu's relatives

Chapter 117
Chenliu County, Xiangyi City.A mighty caravan entered this ancient city famous for its mulberry weaving in the evening.

"Mr. Qin, our destination Xiangyi has arrived! Please get out of the car with your nobles!" Outside the head car of the caravan, a wealthy middle-aged man clasped his hands and said into the car window.

"It's no wonder that your Mi family can become a big business in the world! This efficiency is really incredible. It only took five days to travel more than 500 miles from Xiapi to here!" A luxuriously dressed young man stepped out of the car, stretched lazy said.

"That's it! That's it! You and the Patriarch are family friends. Before leaving, the Patriarch repeatedly asked me, how dare I delay your affairs. This journey is urgent and slow, but fortunately, I didn't delay your affairs!" The middle-aged man He bowed his head humbly and said, "I don't know how many days you'll be here? I'll wait for you! If there is a small waiter who can help, please tell me to wait."

"You don't need to be so polite! Although I am familiar with Mi Biejia, I am only white. We have also eaten in the same pot for a few days, and we have been taken care of in the past few days. If we are destined to reunite in Xiapi in the future Yes, Qin will definitely invite you to dinner!" The young man surrounded by three big men said with a smile: "Qin walk around, you are busy with your work, don't delay your important things, don't worry about me waiting .”

"No!" The middle-aged man also closed his mouth when he saw this, but bent his waist even deeper towards the direction where Mr. Qin and his party were not going away.

This group of people is obviously Qin Xu who came here to do a big deal with Cao, and he brought Lao Xu, Sima Mao, Kong Er Lengzi and other familiar soldiers in the camp.

Qin Xu vaguely remembered that it didn't take long for Cao Cao to defeat the allied forces of Yuan Shu and the Southern Huns in history, but because of Qin Xu's intervention, Yanzhou's military strength was far from comparable to that of the day, although Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shu's coalition forces. Confident, but there are too many variables in it, so Qin Xu hurriedly left Linzi City with the three of Lao Xu after getting Lu Bu's approval.

But just after leaving the city gate, how to get to Chenliu became a problem again.The battle of Jinan Kingdom dealt a considerable psychological blow to Cao Jun in Yanzhou. It is conceivable that the investigations of people from Qingzhou from all walks of life in Yanzhou may have reached the point of being overwhelmed.

Originally, it was the shortest route to leave Jinan, go to Jibei, and enter Chenliu through Jiyin County, but Qin Xu only brought three people with him on this trip. To be secretly clicked by a Cao Jun soldier who recognized Qin Xu's appearance, it would really be worth the candle.

Just when Lao Xu and the three of them had been hesitant for some reason after seeing Qin Xu leave the city, it happened that Mi Fang was going to Xiapi to escort the last batch of money and food that had not been delivered at the end of the year because of the battle of Jibei Kingdom. During the conversation, a casual remark from Mi Fang gave Qin Xu an idea.

The Mi family's business network is all over the Central Plains, and Xiangyi City, which is not far from Chenliu City, happens to be a source of supply for the Mi family's silk cloth business.Because of the heavy snowfall in Xuzhou a few days ago, there is still a batch of funds that will be paid at the end of the year to be sent in the near future.If they can use the Mi family's convoy to disguise themselves and enter Xiangyi City in Chenliu County, get first-hand information about Yuan Shu's attack and then negotiate with Cao Cao, then they will take the initiative even more.

In the secret room of the Mi family, Mi Zhu was very happy with Qin Xu's arrival.Because of Qin Xu's strategy of making sea salt, in just a few months, the Mi family's original sales channels in Jingxiang, Yangzhou and other places sent back news, and the huge profits they gained made even Mi Zhu, the owner of the Mi family, a little surprised; Just waiting for Mi Fang, who had been promoted by Lv Bu to be Qingzhou Merchant Cao Yu, to return to Linzi, she would report the news to Lv Bu through Qin Xu.Qin Xu came again, which really surprised Mi Zhu. When Qin Xu, the god of wealth, asked for a secret escort to Xiangyi, he agreed without asking the reason, and arranged it himself.

Declining Mi Zhu and Mi Fang's kindness to stay, Qin Xu and the others had already left with the Mi family motorcade for a long time before Mi Zhenfang, the eldest lady of the Mi family, was secretly delighted and came out to meet with her makeup.

"Young Master, it's only forty miles to the north of Chenliu City. It's freezing cold. Shall we find a place to have a good meal and leave tomorrow?" Among them, Sima Mao and Qin Xu are the most familiar, He bumped Lao Xu who was beside him with his shoulder, clapped his hands and smiled flatteringly at Qin Xu.

"I think your gang name should not be called Dead Cat, but Greedy Cat!" Qin Xu said angrily, but his eyes were also attracted by a small wine shop on the side of the road, and said: "It seems that Cao Cao governs Yanzhou really has a hand, and it has been several days since they fought against Yuan Shu's army, yet this city of Xiangyi is still so peaceful."

"The young master also thinks highly of him, Lao Cao. Once you come out with the lord's refugee policy, we Linzi... um..." As soon as Kong Er was stunned, he was covered by Lao Xu and Sima Mao. mouth.

"Calling you a fool, are you so stupid? Where is this place? In the hinterland of Yanzhou, are you afraid that others will not know who the young master is?" Old Xu slapped Kong Er fool hard, and said angrily in a low voice.

"Okay, just be careful!" Qin Xu shook his head, and took the lead into this small restaurant by the road.

Maybe it's because the New Year's Eve has just passed. There are only a few people sitting in the small hall of the wine shop, which looks a bit deserted. The charcoal fire in the middle is burning very well, and the dancing fiery red makes people feel that they can drive away the pain immediately. chill.

"Four old customers! It's been a long time since you've visited our small shop!"Because Xiangyi is rich in mulberry and linen fabrics, it was originally a place where merchants in Yanzhou gathered and scattered. Those who opened wine shops were used to seeing all kinds of people. Seeing that Qin Xu and others were not dressed in luxurious clothes like ordinary people, they were much more enthusiastic.

"Do you know us?" Kong Er didn't understand the politeness in the boy's words, he was taken aback for a moment, looked at Qin Xu nervously, and asked with a guarded face.

"This..." It is probably the first time this young man has seen such a fool as Kong Er's idiot. He was really stunned by this sentence. My lord, how could such a young person have such luck to know each other, it's just familiar, it's just familiar!"

"Okay!" Sima Mao pulled Kong Er's idiot, reached out and took out a handful of five baht coins from his pocket, stuffed them into the boy's hand without looking at them, and said with a smile: "Young brother, I laughed, my brother is a fool." People, don’t listen to good words, don’t take offense. I’ve come here from afar, and I’m starving, please ask me to arrange some meals for you! Thank you!”

"Well, what an embarrassment! I would like to thank you for the reward!" The boy's salary for one month is probably not as much as Sima Mao gave him, so he led Qin Xu and others to a place near the fire with a smile on his face. Attentively went to help urge the dishes.

"Old Kong, please stop saying a few words. No one will think you are dumb. You see, because of your few words, our one-month salary is gone!" Sima waited for Qin Xu to sit down, carefully After looking around, he angrily said to Kong Er, who was beside him.

"Okay, dead cat, don't talk about old Kong, sit down when you're out!" Qin Xu saw that Sima Mao and Kong Erlian, the "enemies" who could exchange lives on the battlefield, were about to start arguing again. Dumbfounded, he ordered.

"promise!"

The food and wine are a few simple dishes, nothing more than scrambled eggs, stewed beef and other side dishes, and there are several large bowls of corn and rice.Qin Xu stayed in the car all the way, a little motion sick and his appetite was poor, so he let the three of them gorge on their meals, while he leaned against the pillar and looked at the people in the restaurant.

The main customers of this small restaurant seem to be some merchants' entourages and the like, and the tables are full of rough people.Fortunately, there were two people in Confucian shirts whispering at the corner not far from Qin Xu's table, so it didn't seem like Qin Xu and the others were abrupt.

"Huh? Is there good wine? That boy, why don't you wait for me to have good wine?" Qin Xu was holding the hot tea soup, thinking about how he would blackmail Cao Cao during this trip, while watching Lao Xu's three When it was interesting for a ruthless soldier in the army to eat and drink, one of the two scribes suddenly yelled.

"Oh, sir, where do you start with this? You are served the best wine in the shop!" The servant who had just received a reward of one month's salary from Sima ran all the way to Qin Not far from the two of them, Xu said with a bitter face.

"Yes, sir, what kind of good wine can there be in this small wine shop? When we reach Chenliu, we will have all kinds of good wine! Don't embarrass this person!" The other person who seemed to be with the young scribe also had a wry smile on his face. It seemed that he was quite afraid of this young scribe, and said cautiously.

"No! There must be good wine!" The young scribe sniffed fiercely, pointed at Qin Xu's table and said, "Yes, it is the fine wine that has been cellared for at least ten years on their table! It can't be wrong! Could it be that you got a reward to serve the good wine? That so-and-so, you give him some reward too! I can’t walk when I smell this wine! I’m not going anywhere!”

"This, how is this possible?" The boy's face became even more bitter, and he looked at the person who was traveling with the young scribe in embarrassment, and said with a downcast face: "My dear guest, our small shop has not been open for ten years. How can there be such a good wine, don't embarrass the young one!"

"Yes, sir, why don't you bear with it first? Let's get up early tomorrow, and we will drink wine that is ten times better than the wine you said at night, how about it?" The young scribe accompanied him carefully, almost pleading Said.

Qin Xuzheng felt bored, so he listened carefully for a while. After hearing the words "Chen Liu, lord" and so on, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Did you bring your own wine?" Seeing the embarrassment of Old Xu and the others, they immediately understood.Thinking back to the first time I met these people, it seemed that this group of people was using the excuse of being able to lead people into the camp to trick and encourage me to steal alcohol!I am about to quit drinking, it seems that the "bad habits" of these three people have not changed!

"Brother over there, don't embarrass this little brother. We are destined to meet each other. I have good wine here. How about coming over to drink with me?" Qin Xu pondered for a while, and looked at Sima Maosan with "bad intentions" With a glance, he suddenly opened his mouth and said to the young scribe.

"Sir! These people come from unknown sources, beware of fraud!" Hearing Qin Xu's words, the young man felt like a big fish being lured by bait. Persuade.

"You have no morals!" The person who was traveling with him was too loud to persuade the young scribes. The people on Qin Xu's side heard it clearly. Seeing that gentleman who was invited, you have never been invited, but you are so noisy! Is there any fraud? Where is the fraud?"

Kong Er's idiot was a member of the army, and his voice was loud, so when he said it like this, everyone in the hall focused their eyes on these two men.The face of the person who was walking with the young man suddenly showed anger, but seeing Kong Er's inhuman majestic body and the large number of people around Qin Xu, he swayed and sat down slowly, muttering in his mouth, as if to say Some words that do not have the common sense of a vulgar person.

"My little brother, you are quite interesting as a follower! So-and-so is here! Do you still want to buy so-and-so a drink?" Unexpectedly, this young man seemed to be indifferent to the grievances of his fellow travelers. Regardless of the repeated dissuasion of his fellow travelers, he went straight to Qin Xu's table.

"Please! Of course please! Enough!" Qin Xu looked at this pale and weak young scribe, and said with a smile!
