Lu's relatives

Chapter 86

Xiapi City was originally the fiefdom of Zou Ji, a doctor of Qi State, with a long history.Since the Han Dynasty, it has been the governing place of Xuzhou.In the fifth year of Zhongping, when Tao Qian was the shepherd of Xuzhou, he built the city of Xiapi extremely strong, and adhered to the strategy of making friends from afar and attacking close to him.Within four years, Tao Qian relied on the power of Chen, Mi and other big families and rich merchants to rest with the people in the territory. The people's livelihood in Xuzhou was peaceful and the business was smooth.

When Qin Xu came to Xiapi this time, he only brought the three brothers Zang Ba and the "dirty work expert" Sima Mao Kong and Er Lengzi, leaving the steady old Xu to deal with Gao Shun's surprise inspection, so he did not alarm the others. It was already dusk when the seven arrived at Xiapi City.

Tao Qian was in his prime at this time, and his ambition to protect the environment and the people was still high. He was far from the terminally ill old man who wanted to entrust his fortune to others six years later. In addition, because of the need to resist the Yellow Turbans in Picheng, there were Danyang elite soldiers in all four sects. Guarded, the interrogation of pedestrians seems to be extremely strict.

Zang Ba had worked here for a while before Zang Hong was killed and imprisoned, and he was very familiar with Xiapi City. He had a conversation with the guards of the city gate in Xuzhou's local dialect, which made it easy for the guards to believe the Qingzhou city compiled by Qin Xu when he came. As a merchant, after hearing that Qin Xu and the others came here mainly to visit the Mi family in Xiapi, they enthusiastically pointed out the location of the Mi family, making it impossible for Qin Xu to use all the arguments he had thought up before. , and entered Xiapi City, completely incompatible with the strict atmosphere I saw before.

"Young master, they seem to be looking for someone, and they don't mean to embarrass passers-by. Besides, we don't look like those yellow scarf thieves who can't eat enough, so it's easy to believe our words " Zang Ba easily entered the state, seeing Qin Xu's puzzled look, he explained with a smile.

Qin Xu came here and made up his identity as the son of a giant merchant in Qingzhou. Zang Ba was very old-fashioned and his identity was "the steward of the Qin family".

"Looking for someone? Who's ashamed? For such a big battle, elite soldiers are used at the gate of the city." Sima Mao has been in battle for a long time, and he is very sensitive to whether soldiers have been on the battlefield. He blurted out and immediately felt himself. A slip of the tongue, chuckled.

"That person doesn't seem to be easy to talk about, and I didn't ask." Zang Ba and Sima Mao had a good relationship because they had fought together.

"Okay, dead cat, put away your curiosity. Haven't you heard that curiosity killed the cat? It's you!" Qin Xu shook his head with a smile, and said, "I'm waiting for this trip just to see if it can be done." If you can't get on line with the Mi family, at worst you have to get tens of thousands of shi of food for emergency relief, and you must not cause trouble in vain."

"promise!"

"Master Qin, bah, young master, have you brought any money?" Sima Mao asked indifferently when Qin Xu scolded him with a smile.

"Money? What money? We've reached Lao Zang's territory, do we still need to spend money?" After being scolded for no reason, Qin Xu glanced at Sima Mao angrily, and said, "You don't know that Lao Zang used to be in the Tao Qian served as a general, and if Zang Sima hadn't died later, and Lao Zang resigned to save his father, he might have become a chief officer like the captain of Shangqi."

"Old Zang still has this ability?" Sima Mao had never heard Zang Ba say it, and had always seen Zang Ba and Sun Guan Yinli and others call him brothers, and thought that Zang Ba was a bandit from Mount Tai.

"Ahem, it's just a few trivial things before. The young master is right, we are now in our old Zang's territory, so we will take care of the food and drink. Anyway, you will not be hungry, you are a dead cat!" Zang Ba said indifferently.After experiencing Cao Cao's defeat, he regarded Qin Xu as a heavenly man, without the slightest contempt. On the contrary, no matter what amazing words Qin Xu uttered, he became immune.It is reasonable for Qin Xu to know his previous experience.

"I'm talking about the money to buy food!" Sima Mao patted his forehead, looked at Zang Ba speechlessly, and said, "Even if you have dealt with the Mi family, but this is Xuzhou, could it be that we are also in Xuzhou?" How about Yecheng? I knew I should bring more people here. With just a few of us, how many can we move there?"

"Do you need money to buy food?" Qin Xu asked with a smile before Zang Ba had time to speak.

"This...probably, maybe you want it?" Kong Er stunned looked at the few people who were playing charades, scratched his head, and said suddenly, "Xuzhou has no grudges with us in the past, and we have no enmity in the present, so it's not good to grab it out of thin air! "

"Think for yourself!" Qin Xu said angrily, looking at Sima Mao and Kong Er's fool, speechless.

I really don't know how these two people can still get involved in this. The main purpose of coming here is to find a way, try to get on line with the wealthy businessman Mi's family, and provide Qingzhou with a continuous channel for food imports.Besides, tens of thousands of shi grains cost thousands of gold. Even if Qin Xu really had that kind of thought, there were no more than seven people in his party, and even if he got it, he would not be able to get it back.

"Quick, she's ahead! I see her!"

Just as Qin Xu, led by Zang Ba, came to a small restaurant and was about to have something to eat and wait for news from Wu Dun and his wife, suddenly there was a hissing sound at the entrance of the street.

"What's going on? The law and order in Xiapi City is not good?" Qin Xu was hesitating, when suddenly a petite figure rushed towards Qin Xu and the others' seats like a headless chicken. .

"Protect the young master!" After all, Sima Mao and Kong Er was born in the same camp, and they had been beside Qin Xu for a long time. As if their bodies were conditioned, they stepped in front of Qin Xu.

"Get out of the way!" The figure didn't seem to expect that someone would dare to block the way. Before he almost hit Kong Er's body, he took a sliding step, and unexpectedly became shorter, dodging Kong Er's arm in front of him. Sima Mao charged directly between the two of them.Sima Mao and the two crawled out of the dead at any rate, how could they make such a small mistake, seeing that although this figure is petite but very flexible, they can think of such a way to escape, Sima Mao stretched out out of nowhere calves.

"Ah!!" The man exclaimed sadly.It was so easy to pass through Kong Er's stupid arm, but he didn't pay attention to a calf that suddenly appeared on the ground. With his footsteps staggered, he fell towards Qin Xu like a baby swallow throwing himself into the forest.

Qin Xu hadn't waited to see the person's appearance clearly, a gentle body crossed a parabola and was about to fall to the short corner next to Qin Xu's cushion. Under conditioned reflex, Qin Xu could only lift his hand up to avoid Seeing the close contact between this person and the corner of the table, he suddenly felt that there were two balls of soft, crispy, plump and greasy where he touched it, and he was shocked.

broken!Qin Xu was startled, this is really sitting at home behind closed doors, the disaster comes from heaven.

Qin Xu is not a fool, and even a fool should know that he must have caused trouble.Even in later generations, if you accidentally touch someone's girl, even if you don't get slapped twice, you can at least get scolded by a hooligan, not to mention that this is now at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Although I don't know who this girl offended and was chased by so many people, but it is a certainty that she will be "planted" into my hands.If someone in the city sees through his identity because of this, it will be troublesome.

"Thief, don't let go of your stinky hand!" The man in his arms seemed to have a low and hoarse voice on purpose, containing endless shame and shock, and whispered angrily.

Qin Xu turned his head and saw that this person turned out to be a young girl.The luxurious attire shows that this little girl is definitely not an ordinary person; her waist-length thick hair is simply tied together, which is the usual girly attire for big men, and it is a little messed up because of the reason of running fast; Shi Zhifen, the appearance is different from Cai Yan's elegance and Lu Lingqi's heroism, giving people a very cute feeling; the pink cheeks show a faint blush, and the thin and short fluff can be seen in the wrong light, which seems to be steaming , people have the urge to take a bite.The only pity is that a pair of bright and beautiful big eyes are full of grievance and hatred at this time, looking at Qin Xu with dissatisfaction.

"Uh! Sorry! Sorry!" Qin Xu hastily let go, avoiding the little girl's devouring gaze, and looked up to look elsewhere. Our Master Qin is essentially a young man living in the new era. No matter what, I still have to apologize quickly.

"Help me hide quickly! Hurry up!" The person who shouted on the street seemed to be about to come in. The little girl gave Qin Xu a hard look. She already had a sign of going crazy, but she seemed to be very concerned about the people behind, and borrowed Taking the opportunity to get up, he whispered to Qin Xu.

"This? Alright!" Who let us accidentally offend someone.Qin Xu rubbed his nose, winked at Sima Mao, who looked like he was enjoying the show, and signaled them not to patronize the show, and hid the little girl in the screen behind him.

"Young master, I saw someone hiding in just now, do you think we...?" The group of people who walked in looked like servants, running out of breath. A young man said respectfully.

"Is it so? A forced search? Didn't the eldest brother never tell you not to provoke the people in the army? Well, let's go outside and have a look, don't give the Cao family an excuse to cause trouble!" The young master's young man glanced around at the people in the restaurant, his gaze stayed on the screen behind Qin Xu for a moment, as if he hadn't found anything, he said displeasedly to the people around him.

"But the young master!" The accompanying people wanted to say something, but seeing that the young man had already retreated, they could only slam their mouths and followed them out.

"The Cao family? The Cao family in Xuzhou's military might be Lu Bu's cheap father-in-law Cao Bao in history, right?" Qin Xu thought with evil humor.These people are interesting.Looking at the young man's actions just now, Qin Xu knew that he must have suspected the screen behind him, but he knew that he could find the little girl as long as he opened the screen behind him, but he still didn't know what he was worried about. The Cao family was able to retreat at this time.

"People are gone, you can come out!" Seeing that these people had already exited the hall, Qin Xu said to the screen behind him.

"Hmph! You dared to be rude to this lady just now. It's really disgusting!" The little girl slowly poked her head out, seeing that there was indeed no more "danger", a gleam of joy flashed across her face, and she walked to Qin Beside Xu, with an arrogant look, said to Qin Xu: "But since you didn't talk too much just now, just pay a thousand or eight hundred gold."

"What? Eight hundred gold? Poor and crazy?" Qin Xu looked at the little girl in a daze, with a strange look on his face!
