Li Guanyi didn't sleep all night yesterday. He said he wanted to take a rest in the afternoon. Xue Daoyong allocated a guest room for him in a separate courtyard in the front yard. He slept happily for more than an hour before he regained his composure and crossed his legs.

Sitting on the bed, looking at the sunset outside, I felt a little lazy.

Thinking about what to do next.

He picked up a piece of silver and put it on the bed.

"Exit the customs."

Then he placed an arrow in front of the silver.

"But, it would be best if you can enter the country...it would be nice if you can wear a set of inner armor when you leave the customs."

"We still need to deal with the poison on our body."

“You must have the strongest foundation for entry.”

"as well as……"

"Money, enough money."

Li Guanyi looked at the irregular pieces of silver on the bed and sighed. These were the proceeds from killing Qian Zheng and his gang last night. The total amount was thirty-three taels of silver and more than a hundred copper coins. Some of them are now

Some of the Taiping coins are the former emperor's Da'an coins, wrapped in cloth.

It was enough money for him before, but it was obviously not enough to go to Yingguo and spend money on cultivation.

Mr. Xue didn't say anything about giving him more money.

Li Guanyi felt that he had to find a way to make some money.

You can't just turn your head and look at something when something happens, and then open your mouth and call you Miss.

Li Guanyi was thinking as he sorted out the trophies - apart from the silver, there were also some hemostatic powders, which were already a little black and extremely pungent. They were the kind of powders that were very effective, but very irritating.

Very strong.

In addition, there were some letters, some of which were yellowed. When Li Guan opened the letters and looked at them, they were all letters from home. The yellowed one was the earliest, and the tone was a bit complaining.

"Brother, the production of winter clothes is a bit slow this year. You wrote to me and said that if it doesn't work, I will send you money. But the tax this year is too heavy, and the money is not much, only half. Brother has military pay, so he shouldn't finish it all."

"You'll just have to freeze for a few days."

It seems that when Qian was at the border, he asked his parents to send him winter clothes.

The border of Chen State and Ying State are located in a place neither south nor north.

Winter is as cold as the north, but as humid as the south. When the west wind blows, the cotton clothes will be wetted by the moisture, and then soaked in the body, as if there is a layer of ice thorns on the back, piercing the skin and drilling into the bones.

When soldiers are in their fifties or sixties, most of their bones are bad and painful.

However, Chen Guo is so rich that he doesn’t even have money for the border troops?

As soon as Li Guan thought of Xue Daoyong's words, he turned to the next letter.

"Brother, don't write to urge me. You said that the army is short of money. Grandma has helped you borrow it. Grandpa has gone to the fields in winter. Dad's army and your army are going to join together. Dad is not young. You

You have to take care of daddy."

The third letter.

"I heard that your army also listened to Commander Yue's command and won several battles."

"Brother's silver reward was sent home. Grandpa was very happy and drank some wine."

"He also talked to me about a good family. He is the second son of the old Liu family in Zhenkou. I always played with them when I was a child. I don't know if I still remember him."

"Brother, it's time for you to find a sister-in-law for me."

The next few letters were all about family affairs, and the one word in them that couldn't be avoided was tax.

Five-year tax, three-year tax.

There is still Qian who is risking his life to kill enemies and earn reward money.

When Li Guanyi saw one, he paused slightly.

"The officials are collecting spring tax again."

"Brother, after collecting taxes for the next three years, I took away all the reward money. I don't have any at home, and I can't borrow it. My legs were broken, and I was paralyzed on the bed. I got sores first, and then they rotted.

, people can’t stand up, and then they’re gone…”

"Grandpa didn't want us to spend money on his treatment, so he didn't eat and died."

"Brother, I heard that Commander-in-Chief Yue was transferred. Dad was punished for rushing into his boss. Is the injury serious?"

"There are some copper coins enclosed with the letter. Dad's injury will be treated well."

The fourth letter.

"My father is gone, my mother is crying her eyes out, and the Liu family no longer wants me."

"No way, a big eunuch came to the city and said that there is still a shortage of people in the palace. I thought about it and found that the conditions are very good, so I went to the palace first. I will give you part of the money and leave part of the money with my mother. You said you

It will be much better once you enter the country, I'll wait for you, don't worry."

"It's a good place here. No one hits me or bullies me."

Then came the last delicate letter.

"Today, if the maid Qian Qian dies, according to the law, she will be compensated fifty thousand coins."

"Because there was no one to take charge of it, he buried Wu Guan, which affected the affairs of the palace. He owed 30 guan, so he handed it over to the inn for 5 guan, stamped the letter and passed it on 3 guan Qimao and other miscellaneous expenses, leaving 100 guan.

Thirty-five articles were handed over to his brother Qian Zheng to show his integrity."

Li Guanyi was quiet for a long time.

He saw the colorful blood and water stains on the letter.

I saw more than a hundred copper coins wrapped in cloth that had been rubbed until they were shiny.

So he saw crazy Qian Zheng.

Li Guan put down the letter.

Then he put the one hundred and thirty-five copper coins back into the cloth bag and wrapped it up.

He looked outside, seeming to be thinking about something.

He finally calmed down all the chaotic emotions and thoughts in his mind, exhaled a breath, and murmured to himself that the border was rotten, there was a lack of reward money, and the families of the soldiers had to bear heavy taxes.

What happened to Qian Zheng is not the norm but it will not be the exception either.

Under such circumstances, the general was wronged again.

"It's over."

No derivation is needed anymore.

Li Guanyi's view of history turned into intuition, and the answer almost hit him in the face.

There is a strong sense of urgency to improve the realm as soon as possible. If Qian Zheng can break through the border in advance, maybe the story will be different. No matter how much Li Guanyi sees from it, at this moment, setting foot in the border realm has become the first priority in his heart.

Target.

In this broken world, I have no strength and cannot even protect myself and my aunt.

I am only good at attacking, so I have to defeat the third prince Natiele as soon as possible and get the [Cang Lang Shou].

When Li Guanyi walked out of the courtyard, he saw Xue Shuangtao still practicing archery. When Li Guanyi picked up the bow and arrow, he suddenly called out to Xue Shuangtao. The girl looked at him doubtfully, and Li Guan said, "I just said, I will shoot."

They are crows that eat human flesh and carrion, I was wrong.”

"That was originally a bird of prey that hunted in the air."

"It was because of this sky that he went crazy and eventually started to eat carrion."

Xue Shuangtao looked at him.

He took half a step back.

Then he tapped the young man's forehead with the bow in his hand and said, "Although I don't know what you are alluding to, Li Guanyi."

She paused and said, "Let's practice bow and arrow first!"

The girl raised her eyebrows, pointed to the arrow over there, and said: "Playing the piano can make people feel at ease, and practicing archery can also make people calm. No matter what happens, when your body is tired, you will think about many things."

"Don't worry, I will practice archery with you until you figure it out."

While practicing archery, Xue Shuangtao said curiously:

"Then, when you shot the vulture, did you regret it?"

Li Guanyi looked at the eldest lady with clear eyes. He didn't know if she understood something, or if she simply thought that he had shot a bird, which made him feel sad. So he replied: "He is already a scavenger."

Bird."

So I won't regret it.

In this life, I am still a high-spirited young man, so I will have thoughts running through my heart.

Will I, one day, change my appearance in this troubled world?
