There is a saying that has been circulating since ancient times.
Shandong produces more prime ministers, Shanxi produces good generals, the northwest produces strong soldiers, and the southeast produces wealthy merchants.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Shandong is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. Even a three-year-old baby can recite a few lines of the Analects of Confucius.
The reason why Shanxi produces good generals is simply because Shanxi is located on the northern border and has to fight with the nomads in the Northern Desert from time to time.
In such a living environment of life and death, blood and fire, even ordinary people who wield hoes have to think about buying two good knives and learn martial arts for self-defense.
The situation in Liangzhou in the northwest is similar to that of Shaanxi. Not only is it located in a severely cold place, it is also a place that has been baptized by war all year round.
I don’t know how many women became widows in Liangzhou.
I don’t know how many people in Liangzhou have never seen their fathers from the moment they were born.
Therefore, the soldiers of Liangzhou have a fierce fighting spirit almost from their bones, and they are definitely born warriors.
As for the last wealthy businessman from the southeast, there is basically nothing to explain.
Along the southeastern coast, the weather is mild and wars and cholera are rare. People can have enough to eat and naturally have the time to figure out how to make money.
And after being passed down from generation to generation, this pattern has basically been finalized.
Speaking of which, after Li Chengqian and Li Tingxue entered Jeju City.
Li Tingxue took him to a tavern in the city to rest.
Maybe it's because it's not time for dinner, or maybe it's because the tavern is too small.
Therefore, there are not many tables of customers in this tavern.
After Li Chengqian and Li Tingxue came in, they found a seat by the window and sat down.
After ordering some food with preserved fruits, Li Chengqian couldn't help but ask: "Sister, what on earth do you want to do by bringing me to Jeju?"
"Don't worry."
Li Tingxue looked at Li Chengqian, smiled sweetly and said, "It won't take long before you know."
Seeing her smile, Li Chengqian became even more suspicious.
He stretched his neck and leaned Li Tingxue approached Li Tingxue and lowered her voice and asked: "Sister, could it be that you have found another brother-in-law for me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Tingxue was immediately unhappy: "You dare to make fun of your sister?"
She raised her palm and threatened, "If you dare to say one more nonsense, I will beat your mother so hard that she won't even recognize you."
Seeing that she was about to take action, Li Chengqian sat back in his seat angrily.
Then, he felt uneasy and said depressedly: "Sister, since you are bringing me here to do something, you have to tell me what exactly it is..."
Before Li Tingxue could reply, he suddenly heard a burst of shouting coming from outside.
"Waiter, give me a roasted chicken and a pound of mung beans."
Following the words, a rough-looking man with a beard stepped in from outside.
Li Chengqian glanced at the man subconsciously.
The man also nodded politely to Li Chengqian.
Just when Li Chengqian was slightly distracted, Li Tingxue suddenly said: "Some time ago, a criminal thief appeared in Jeju City."
"And this guy seems to be different from those thieves who are prone to stealing and do all kinds of evil."
"When he robbed each house, he had his own rules, which was to only take three items."
"And this guy will use all the money he gets from selling stolen goods to buy rice and give it to the poor people."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He turned back to look at Li Tingxue and said, "Sister, do you think this person is still a thief?"
Li Tingxue took a bite of vegetables, stuffed it into her mouth, and said slowly while chewing, "You can also say that."
"But no matter what, stealing is against the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was a little dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Could it be that she brought him all the way to Jeju City just to catch the thief?
Looking at his expression, Li Tingxue knew what this guy was thinking.
"Okay, stop making such a bitter look."
"If it wasn't necessary, I wouldn't bother going so far." ??
Li Tingxue approached Li Chengqian and said, "There is a huge secret hidden in this so-called knight robber."
"The purpose of asking you to come with me this time is to dig out the secrets of this person."
Li Chengqian asked in confusion: "What secret?"
"Don't worry about this."
"Just help me from the side."
Li Tingxue raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with the hint of a successful plot.
Li Chengqian was also speechless about his sister's virtue.
But he didn't bother to think too much. Anyway, the truth would come out sooner or later.
Furthermore, looking at it from now on, at least I am not taking the blame for this matter.
Then there is no need for him to ask questions.
Anyway, whatever happened was planned by Li Tingxue.
Li Shimin will never punish her, right?
That's when Li Chengqian's mind was filled with these thoughts.
Suddenly a few more people came in from outside.
After these guys came in, they walked straight towards the bearded man without saying anything.
When the bearded man was approaching.
One of them said directly: "Chai Jing, you're fine."
The man named Chai Jing looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Then, he chuckled and said, "Who do you think you are? It turns out it was you puppies who followed the smell to find me."
I heard him call himself a puppy.
The guy was not angry, and chuckled softly: "Since we are all here, shouldn't it be time for you to hand over the things?" "Something? What something?"
Chai Jing glanced at the man again and said, "I'm eating now. If anything happens, we'll talk about it after we finish eating."
After that, he continued to compete with the roast chicken on the table.
Seeing this scene, the other person sat directly opposite him, not speaking and just looking at him quietly.
Chai Jing stopped, wiped his mouth and said, "What's wrong, you Tianma Gang like to watch people eat so much?"
"hehe."
The man sitting opposite him only chuckled, and then said: "Chai Jing, I have to remind you."
"If you hand over your things now, we can still live in peace with you."
"But if you don't pay, don't blame the brothers for attacking you."
Chai Jing tilted his head and said, "Ouyou? Shen Wang, you are so brave now. Do you dare to attack me?"
Shen Wang laughed indifferently: "Who do you think you are? Why don't I dare to do something to you?"
"In that case, let's do it..."
At this moment, Chai Jing's eyes narrowed.
The next moment, he kicked out, knocking over the table in front of him.
Before the other party could recover, Chai Jing struck out like lightning, punching straight towards Shen Wang's neck.
But Shen Wang is obviously not a vegetarian.
The moment Chai Jing stretched out his hand to attack his neck, he had already raised his leg and ran towards Chai Jing's lower abdomen.
In battle, whether it is a clash of swords or fists and feet, the principle that one inch is longer and one inch is stronger remains unchanged.
In the eyes of others, Chai Jing's use of punches and kicks was obviously the behavior of a fool.
But in fact, Shen Wang's kick was dodged by Chai Jing.
His fist landed heavily on Shen Wang's face.
Li Chengqian, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, couldn't help but clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Okay, good fight!"
But after saying this, he felt a little regretful.
