The burial ceremony was very simple and quiet. Just at the Wonsan Pass, twenty-six new tombs were neatly erected. Each new tomb had a tombstone. Although it was made of wood, it looked very similar. Those familiar
The deceased shed two tears in front of the grave, declaring the burial ceremony over.
The bandits of Wonsan stood far away, and their dead were not treated like this, and were still thrown aside coldly. As bandits, death is actually inevitable, but everyone has thought that someone will pay homage to them after they die, even if they die again
Short ceremonies are also desirable.
Sun Ermazi slashed the tree with his knife, stared at the old fox and asked: "Father-in-law, this boy Su obviously doesn't regard us as his own."
The old fox laughed dryly: "Who said we and they are our own people? Look, if you do something wrong this time, I don't know how that person named Su will deal with it."
"What? He really wants to kill me?"
The old fox shook his head: "That's not a big deal, but our Yuanshan will definitely be implicated."
"What are you afraid of? We occupy Yuanshan and block his trade routes. We have tens of thousands of brothers under our command. I don't believe that one boy can make such big waves."
"Hey!" The old fox sighed, looked at his cheap son-in-law and shook his head.
Su Ren did not impose any punishment on Sun Ermazi for attacking his caravan this time. Su Ren even refused the compensation proposed by the old fox. The caravan entered Yuanshan, and the bandit escort that was agreed upon was the organization. This time, it was organized by
Sun Ermazi and Old Fox personally led a large group of people to trek along the mountain road towards the Qiang land.
After receiving the news that the caravan had entered Yuanshan, Wen Dang breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since he came to Shu County as the prefect, the Yuanshan bandits have been a serious problem for him. As a neighbor of Shu County, over the years, the Yuanshan bandits have been against him.
The threat from Shu County made the old governor think hard. When the caravan that sent Su Ren set off, Wen Dang had a tragic mentality. It was not that there were no caravans from Shu County that wanted to enter Qiang land in the past. It was all because of the relationship between Yuanshan pirates or
Dead or injured, the trip could not be made.
"Su Shifeng is really good at it. He was able to tame the unruly Yuanshan bandits." Changshi chuckled after reading the information.
Wen Dang nodded: "This kid is really hard to see through. I didn't expect that he actually did this. I just don't know what agreement he reached with the Yuanshan bandits, but he can bring the Yuanshan bandits into the Qiang land."
It can also be considered as a contribution to my great man."
"Yes! Mr. Su has made great contributions to our Shu County in the past two years, and this also depends on the teacher's teachings."
"Hahaha!" Wen Dang laughed loudly: "Don't say such flattery, I, the teacher, have never taught him a day! By the way, I heard that Meng Changshi's condition has worsened recently?"
Chang Shi nodded quickly: "The Meng family's business has suffered a heavy blow, how can Meng Changshi not fall ill?"
"Another masterpiece of the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce?"
"That's not clear!" Chang Shi shook his head and smiled mysteriously: "A group of foreign merchants quickly emerged and seized the business of most counties in central Sichuan. The goods they sold were all-inclusive, and the prices were fair.
It is very popular among the people in Shu, and the people are spreading the word that the prefect managed it well. I heard that several counties are planning to build shrines for the prefect."
"Ah! This is absolutely impossible!" Wen Dang was quite surprised: "How can I be so virtuous and capable? How can I receive such admiration? This is absolutely impossible."
Chang Shi smiled and said: "Teacher, this is modesty. As Su Shibu said, a thousand-mile horse often exists, but a Bole does not always exist. Sushibo is a thousand-mile horse, and the teacher is a Bole."
"You! When did you learn to speak like this? Haha! One day you and I will go together to visit Mr. Meng. As colleagues, we should still have this etiquette."
Meng Bi smashed the plates and bowls, and threw away everything that could be thrown away in the study. He reached out to pick up the inkstone and threw it out the door, hitting Meng Wei just in time, making Meng Wei's body covered with ink.
Covering his stomach with one hand and holding the inkstone with the other, Meng Wei came in timidly: "Sir, the master wants you to go there."
Meng Bi threw down the things in his hands angrily and walked out the door. Looking at the mess on the ground, Meng Wei shook his head and quickly called his servants to come in and clean up.
Meng Ji was lying on the bed, coughing repeatedly. He had just recovered from a serious illness last time. He caught wind and cold after sitting out for a while, and he has been bedridden. After seeing all the medical officers in Chengdu these days, he came to only one conclusion:
It's rest.
He reached out and pushed away the medicine bowl Meng Liu held in front of his mouth, and asked Meng Bida: "Those two haven't come back yet?"
Meng Bi shook his head: "Yesterday Jiangyuan County reported that ten people died in their county. I sent people to see them. Among them were Li Jun and Zheng Xin. The rest were our people. They said they died suddenly.
, there were no incisions or fatal injuries, and the way of death was very strange.”
"Cough cough cough..." Meng Ji coughed again. Meng Liu quickly touched Meng Ji's chest: "Is it really a ghost that kills people?"
"I checked and found out that he was smoked to death after the charcoal fire in the house was extinguished because the weather was too cold."
"Humph! It must be that Su Ren again!" Meng Ji coughed and trembled all over. He couldn't take a breath, and his face turned red: "Immediately, send someone to tell Tang Meng and ask him to wipe out the Yuanshan bandits, leaving no one behind.
!Go, go quickly!”
Meng Bi did not move, and stood in the room blankly. Meng Liu said anxiously: "Why don't you go quickly? Are you going to make your father angry to death?"
Meng Bi then saluted and walked out of the door. Meng Wei had been standing outside the door and could hear clearly what was going on inside. When he saw Meng Bi coming out, he glanced at Meng Bi and swallowed his words again.
Meng Bi took a deep breath: "Send someone to tell Tang Meng and ask him to destroy the Yuanshan bandits."
"This..." Meng Weiwei said, "Sir, our people can't even enter Tang Meng's military camp. The people we sent last time were beaten up by Tang Meng and driven back. Are we going to go this time?"
"Go! Even if you are beaten to death, you have to bring the message!" Meng Bi looked fiercely. Meng Wei hurriedly went to make arrangements.
Cui Jiuming took a deep breath and was still sitting by the window on the second floor of Cuixiang Building. Huo Laosi was sitting opposite him. The two of them turned to look at the merchants coming and going in the West Market. The two of them were already sitting here.
Throughout the morning, I drank several pots of tea, but never went to the hut.
There was a noise at the top of the stairs. Meng Wei went upstairs, looked around, and then came to the seats where the two of them were sitting. Cui Jiuming stood up with a smile and saluted: "You are late today."
"Hey! Who asked me to share such two masters?" Meng Wei was not polite, sitting across the two of them: "It's not because of you that the Meng family and his son have noses, noses, and eyes, just bad
Killed."
"Hahaha..." Huo Laosi laughed and poured a cup of tea for Meng Wei: "Drink tea, drink tea, don't talk about such unlucky things, what's the news today?"
Meng Wei sighed: "Meng Ji is going to send someone to contact Tang Meng and prepare to send troops to Yuanshan."
"Yuanshan? Is Meng Ji dizzy? Not to mention whether Tang Meng can listen, how can the Yuanshan army be captured?"
"The men of the Meng family who were lurking in Yuanshan were driven out and died in Jiangyuan a few days ago. Meng Ji is worried."
"So that's it!" Cui Jiuming nodded: "We don't need to worry about this matter. You can rest assured that your husband is here. What is the Meng family doing in the store?"
Meng Wei shook his head: "I don't know about that. Meng Bi may have doubts about me recently and has avoided me in many things."
"This is not a good thing!" Cui Jiuming said: "We are about to succeed, so we must not make any mistakes."
Meng Wei chuckled and said: "Don't worry about this, you two have stayed in the Meng family for so many years. If the Meng family and his son stick out their butts, I will know what they fart. When the time comes, don't forget to agree to it."
my business."
"Don't worry, if you don't talk about us, since when will your words not count?"
"That's true!" Meng Wei raised his head and poured a cup of cold tea into his stomach: "Su Shipu is really powerful. He actually subdued the Yuanshan bandits. I'm afraid this Sichuan will really change in the future!"
Su Ren raised his tired legs and tried hard to keep up with the team in front. In the morning, he still had a cotton robe and a hat, but now he has taken off only his middle coat. The road is really difficult to walk, and if nothing else, even a leech can take it.
People ate it. Zhanlong Gorge is the only way to enter the Qiang region. It is a volcanic crater with hot springs all year round. There are 108 hot springs in the whole canyon. The steam is steaming all day long, making the Zhanrong Gorge a hot spring.
It's unbearably hot.
Usually even monkeys are not willing to come here, but it has become a paradise for leech. The leech in Zhanlong Gorge is so thick and big that when it is lying on the body and sucking blood, it is like having a little finger. The leech here is poisonous.
As long as one is bitten, it will swell like a pig's head for ten and a half months. Everyone hides their exposed skin as much as possible under their clothes, and the mules and horses are also covered with cloth, leaving only a pair of big eyes flickering, looking like
Weird looking.
Hawking opened his mouth wide and exhaled: "How far is it? It's almost too hot!"
Abang raised his head and glanced: "Come on, we can walk out in three to five miles."
"What a lousy place, I won't even come here next time!"
Sun Ermazi laughed loudly: "This is a good place. Look around. There is only one road. As long as I lead people to block the mountain pass, no matter how many Qiang people come, they will be sucked dry by the locusts."
Hawking rolled his eyes and turned away, staying as far away from Sun Ermazi as possible.
The old fox shook his head and followed the team without saying a word. This guy was not afraid of the locusts. He was bare-chested and leisurely followed the team unhurriedly. During his break, he even jumped into the hot spring to soak for a while.
Leng Jun thought that the old fox had some magical way to avoid the locusts, and wanted to ask, but was unwilling to open his mouth. Lu Yi went to ask, and the old fox laughed and said that there is a kind of grass in Yuanshan that can ward off the locusts, but it needs to be eaten for three years.
.Everyone in the caravan thought this was a lie.
When we walked out of Zhanlong Gorge, the weather suddenly became freezing. It was already April, and the wind blowing down from the plateau was still painful. The bandits at the front suddenly cheered, and the sound was loud. Because there was no one in front of them anymore.
In the mountains, large tracts of grassland appeared. The white ones on the grassland are sheep, the gray ones are cattle, and the fast-moving ones are horses.
