Chapter 59

In the evening, the four of us got together and had dinner.

Li Po was devouring the food, eating it quickly and deliciously.

After a day of training, Li Chun and Yuen Long's arms and legs were so light that they couldn't even use the strength to eat.

After dinner, Li Po asked the two of them to move their bodies again. In addition to stretching their muscles, they also let them wake up the next day and couldn't move.

It wasn't until the moon climbed over the railing that Yuen Long dragged his feet back to the house, fell down on the bed, and refused to move again.

The old man had been waiting for a long time. Seeing his half-dead state, he was extremely angry and, of course, a little distressed.

However, he still asked Yuen Long, "Did you learn anything? How was Professor Li Dalang?"

Yuen Long hummed, "I don't know..."

"Huh?" The old man was a little angry. The first thing he thought of was that the young man was hiding something secret. But after all, he had been beaten by his master and had taught others. He knew that he was a little impatient, and the day's work was indeed short.

When he wanted to ask again, the snoring started, and the old man had no choice but to sulk, take off his son's boots and clothes, and cover him with a quilt.

I went back to bed, trying my best to find a chance to beat this unimproved little beast someday to relieve my anger. At the same time, I was thinking that for this little beast, it seemed that I should find two more people to come over in the next two days.

Working and practicing martial arts cannot be mixed together. In the eyes of Kansai people, it is clear at a glance which one is more important.

The days that followed gradually became monotonous.

There is an extra horse in the stable. It is the mount of Li Bi, the third wife of the county prince's family.

The old man was also very resolute, and after only one day, two more grooms appeared in the stable.

The two new grooms were both over thirty years old, and their ability to raise horses could only be said to be unsatisfactory. They were diligent and quick in their work. Under the command of the old man, they quickly took over most of the work in the stables.

The three children were completely freed from heavy physical labor, and they only focused on exercising their bodies under the leadership of Li Po and practicing the wisdom of the later soldiers.

But no matter what the old man preached, Li Po still went to the kitchen every day and worked hard. In Li Po's own words, he just didn't eat well and practiced for a long time, which would damage his body.

The effect is indeed good. The bodies of the three young people are getting stronger day by day.

County Grand Master Li Jing inspects the warehouse, which is a monthly task.

So a few days later, the war horse in the stable was taken away again, and Li Bi, the third wife, went out to find her father.

As a horseman, Li Po also experienced the majesty of traveling for the first time.

More than ten cavalrymen surrounded him, all of them were military men who were skilled in bows and horses. Their toughness was exposed, but they were also well-trained. They were all real soldiers in the army.

After asking, I found out that this girl, who was about the same age as myself, still had a military rank and was a female general.

This is really infuriating when people compare themselves to others, and those who live well are taking advantage of them.

After Li Bi left, two more war horses came back from the stables, coming back from Yanmen.

Now this has little to do with Li Po.

On this day, Li Po did not take the two little ones to practice as usual, but left Li Chun behind and let Yuan Long lead him to look for Cheng Zhijie.

Once you have a firm foothold, you can thank your friends. Although I don’t like the fugitive from Shandong, I still remember the well digger. Otherwise, the road will always become narrower and narrower. This is the principle of life, Li

It is still very clear.

Cheng Zhijie is also a well-known person in the county government and is easy to find.

On the school ground to the east of the county government, Cheng Zhijie was pulled out from among a group of big men who was flexing his muscles and howling.

A series of laughs, as affectionate as brothers, unchanging, as if this Shandong man has never had anything on his mind, and has never been worried about anything...

What followed was a series of complaints, saying that after Li Po entered the county government, he disappeared and no longer regarded him as his brother.

However, as soon as he heard that Li Po wanted to invite him to drink, his half-hearted complaints stopped abruptly, and he continued to say "good brother". It seemed that this man was really a good drinker.

But Li Po knew that this man's attention had always been on Yuen Long and had never moved away.

There is no need to ask, he knows Yuen Long.

The senator's reputation is well known. As the son of the senator, if he walks around the county government, he may have many people fawning over him.

In fact, it was thanks to the old man that he was able to live quietly in the stable for so many days. Otherwise, with Cheng Zhijie's sociable nature, he would have come looking for him long ago.

After introducing each other, seven or eight more people were added to the list of people Li Li knew.

Cheng Zhijie can also hold Yuen Long's arm and call him brother.

What made Li Po more gratified was that Yuen Long looked dumbfounded on weekdays, but after he came out, he would not call anyone "brother" when he saw him. He naturally showed a kind of arrogance unique to people who come from a big family.

Li Po simply waved his hand, and a sheep was being driven, and a group of sheep were being herded. With a relatively sufficient pocket, he proudly announced that they were all going to eat meat and drink wine.

This sentence was stronger than a thousand words, and Li Po immediately temporarily gained an equal status with Cheng Zhijie.

Nearly ten people, surrounded by Li Po and Yuen Long, poured out of the county mansion in a mighty manner. Under the gaze of passers-by, Li Po became serious and imposing for once.

Such a group of men who are like wolves and tigers are walking together. In Mayi City, there are almost not many people who dare to provoke...

Then he went to the military camp in the south of the city, found Luo San, and forcefully pulled out Yuchi and several of his men. This time, the team suddenly expanded to more than a dozen people.

Li Po weighed his pocket and said, Damn, please come down this time. The more than two months of service as a groom will probably be in vain.

Li Po touched the small silver ingot given by the old man and felt a little calmer.

Silver is a rare thing. The main currency in circulation today is copper coins. Gold and silver have almost become status symbols.

It is almost everyone's consensus that those who can use gold and silver must have an origin.

If a person who is not dressed or behaves well takes out a piece of silver, someone will report it to the officials and arrest him.

This means that gold and silver are not official currencies in circulation, but merchants dare not refuse to accept them. Of course, they don't have to worry about where to go after they receive them.

It can also be seen from here that the old man is very considerate. If he brought copper coins, God, for so many people to eat and drink, Li Po would probably have to carry a big package on his back to pay the bill.

In an era without paper money, it was very painful to have money.

Of course, these days it is common to buy on credit, but merchants are not stupid either. Only regular customers can buy on credit, and Li Po is obviously not one of them.

But when you go out with a group of people, and the credit depends on other people's reputation, the meal will probably be in vain, which will make people look down upon you a lot.
