royal robes

Chapter 413
Going further north is Cangzhou, Zhao Kuangyin actually has no plans to enter Cangzhou, because there are too many acquaintances in Cangzhou, if someone finds out that he is a descendant of the Zhao family, he will go to help Khitan quell the civil strife... The consequences will be very serious.

"Brother Zhao, will you go to Cangzhou?"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said, "No, I'll take a detour from a nearby town and go straight north."

"Sir, there is no need for this anymore." He Meiyu said: "[-]% of your income in Yandao has been transferred to the leader of the martial arts through the form of dowry. Although you ran away that day, half of the world has seen you personally promise , so the Zhao Clan has lost the most important source of income. Although you are a descendant of the Zhao Clan, you have already become enemies with the Zhao Clan."

He Meiyu mentioned the biggest pain in Zhao Kuangyin's heart, he has nothing now.[-]% of Yandao's income has already been handed over to Bu Xiangyang, and other people may be able to snatch it back. Bu Xiangyang's martial arts are too high, and no one in the world dares to provoke him, so this [-]% income will be lost.

Because of this incident, he would probably be expelled from the clan by his grandfather and lose his status as the second son of the Zhao clan. Zhao Kuangyin really didn't know what was left of him.Now only He Meiyu is by his side, although he is lucky to be able to marry this beautiful wife, but Zhao Kuangyin suddenly feels that he is very poor.

The only thing Zhao Kuangyin can count on is Zong Xin, who is the richest person in the world.Others don't know, but Zhao Kuangyin knows it very well.Although he settled accounts with Lei Hong's father and son, Lei Hong's money is Zong Xin's money.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed, "Meiyu, how much money do we have left?"

"Dozens of taels of silver is not a lot." He Meiyu said: "Anyway, if you save a little, it will be enough for us to go to Khitan for a round trip. As your virtuous helper, I have to remind you, Mr. Xiang, you spend too much money. I brought a whole bag of gold, silver and jewelry, and you spent them all."

Zhao Kuangyin said depressedly: "Don't mention it, okay? My heart hurts."

Zhao Kuangyin has always been frugal when spending money, He Meiyu is really lawless when spending money... She will give money when she sees the poor, and all she sells is silver taels, not a single copper coin.Zhao Kuangyin's heart aches when she looks at it, but this is He Meiyu's hobby, she likes to give money to the poor, as long as she has money in her hand, she can't let it go.

So He Meiyu has been working as a burglar for the past two years. After stealing a rich family, she sells the things and distributes them to the poor. She steals when she has no money.Zhao Kuangyin knew that He Meiyu had the habit of being a prodigal. Originally, he was quite rich, and He Meiyu's squandering like this was enough for his whole life, but now Zhao Kuangyin is poor, poor again...

Gao Huaide smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, if you are worrying about money, why don't you go to Cangzhou with me, my father is in Cangzhou, and I will get you some money then. You have helped me, of course I will help you too."

"My surname is Gao, I feel like you did it on purpose?" Zhao Kuangyin said, "How can there be such a coincidence in the world? We separated from Chang'an and met on Hebei Road again. And I deliberately took a small road to avoid being recognized as my true identity." , why did you take the path? No matter how I think about it, I feel that you are following me on purpose. "

"What's wrong with younger brother following elder brother?" Gao Huaide said with a smile: "Brother Zhao is a man of the world, at most younger brother will curry favor with you, and he won't do you any harm."

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly asked, "Is there anything I would like to ask for?"

"Brother, why did you say this?"

"A certain shameless monk once told me that if someone flatters me with shame, there must be something to ask for. What you ask for corresponds to the degree of flattery." Zhao Kuangyin said depressedly: "You chased thousands of miles away from Chang'an Also come to please me, this is not as simple as pleasing, you must have something to ask for."

Gao Huaide and He Meiyu nodded at the same time, as expected, Master Zong Xin taught him again.Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts is good, and his brain is actually quite good, but he is not good at summarizing.Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin often said that he deliberately helped Zongxin drive the car, just to listen to Zongxin's lectures to his apprentices. As expected, Zongxin was the most powerful person.

Gao Huaide said: "Master Zongxin is right, my little brother really wants to ask for something. If you go further north on this road, you will reach Yingzhou, which is already the boundary of Khitan, not far from Cangzhou. Although Yingzhou is the boundary of Khitan, but The jurisdiction is not strict, and the Han and Khitan people can come and go freely. There is a "Liugu Temple" [-] miles southwest of Yingzhou. A group of robbers gather here all the year round, wandering between Dazhou and Khitan, robbing and killing businessmen on both sides. The little brother has learned something, and wants to destroy this den of robbers, I wonder if the big brother can help the little brother?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "No time, go by yourself."

"Can I give you money?"

Upon hearing the money, Zhao Kuangyin immediately changed his face, and then asked, "How much?"

"How about a thousand taels of silver?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "This price is really good, not to mention that I am short of money now. But... I have one condition, all the things robbed from the robber's den will be mine, and you don't want to take anything?"

"No, I want to take something. To tell you the truth, brother, I went to Liugu Temple just for this thing." Gao Huaide said: "Because Liugu Temple is located on the border of Khitan, no matter how powerful my father is, he would not dare to send troops to it, so This is the only thing I can do.”

"What? I'm quite interested." He Meiyu said: "As the only son of King Qi, what treasure in the world is not easy to get? You want to be greedy for this treasure?"

"It's not false to say that it is a treasure, but it is an ancestral item of my Gao family." Gao Huaide said regretfully, "It's a long story, I wonder if you two have time to listen to my younger brother slowly talk about it?"

"There is plenty of time."

Gao Huaide said: "Actually, I am not the only son. Before me, I had a sister named Gao Feiyan. When I was young, my sister loved me very much. Later, she married the son of Du Chongwei, the younger brother-in-law of Shi Jingtang in the Later Jin Dynasty. After the fall of the Later Jin Dynasty, Du Chongwei surrendered to Khitan and then to the Great Han. After the death of the Great Han Liu Zhiyuan , Su Fengji, the prime minister on the left, did not send a funeral in secret. He trapped and killed Du Chongwei, and then he was dismembered on the street. My brother-in-law and sister originally wanted to flee back to Cangzhou, but they were both killed by robbers on the way. That treasure is an ancestral item of my Gao family, as a dowry Take them away together. Now that the family heirloom is left outside, and my father can't send troops to Yingzhou, he hired a few masters to kill these robbers, but it's a pity that the robber's martial arts are not bad, and all these masters were killed in Yingzhou. Knowing this, it can be said that he was furious, so he decided to learn martial arts and then seek revenge."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "Your father's martial arts should be good, why doesn't he seek revenge on these robbers himself?"

"Nonsense." He Meiyu said something, and Zhao Kuangyin immediately shut up.This sentence is really nonsense, Gao Xingzhou is the king of Qi, and the number of soldiers in his hand depends on him to survive.How could he venture alone to seek revenge in a robber's den in the Khitan border?It's not that Gao Xingzhou doesn't want to go, but he can't.

Gao Xingzhou's life is irrelevant, but without Gao Xingzhou's support, Cangzhou cannot survive.So Gao Xingzhou is for the people of the world, so he endured this resentment.

Gao Xingzhou is not Guo Wei after all, not to mention that even Guo Wei has to think more about the people of the world.Both Guo Tong and Le An died at the hands of Murong Yanchao. Guo Wei's martial arts were superior to Murong Yanchao, but he didn't dare to seek revenge from him directly. This is the difference between being in power and not being in power.

If Guo Wei hadn't been the emperor, he might have gone to Murong Yanchao on his horse, but it's not possible now, and the two of them are related to each other.

Gao Huaide clasped his hands and said: "Brother Zhao, can I let me take the treasures passed down from home? Brother Zhao can bring all the other things, and I will never stop you."

"Actually, there is one more thing I don't understand. How do you know that the baby at home must be in that robber's den?" Zhao Kuangyin said, "Maybe Su Fengji has already taken it away."

"It is indeed possible, but if there is a treasure from my family hidden in the robber's den, can I give it to my younger brother?" Gao Huaide is not sure that the treasure is in this robber's den, but this group of robbers killed his sister and brother-in-law, regardless of Whether there are treasures or not, they must seek revenge from them.

Of course, revenge comes first. The reason why Gao Huaide practiced so hard was to kill this gang of robbers.But this is a personal enmity, his master has no obligation to avenge him, let alone Gao Huaide wants to do it himself.

But... On balance, Gao Huaide still thinks that he should ask a few friends to help him. After all, he doesn't know how many robbers there are in a robber's den, and he doesn't know if there are hidden martial arts masters in it.

The most troublesome thing for this group of robbers is to wander between the Khitan and the Central Plains. If the Central Plains sends troops to destroy them, they can hide in the territory of Khitan, and if the Khitan sends troops to destroy them, they can hide back in the Central Plains.Unless the Central Plains and Khitan cooperate to send troops, they will never be able to catch this group of robbers. After all, Khitan soldiers dare not step into the Central Plains, and the Central Plains soldiers dare not provoke Khitan.

It is an act of war when soldiers of one's own country go to the enemy's territory with weapons, just like declaring war on the other side.No matter how urgent the situation is, no soldier dares to bear such a crime.Even the militant Khitans were not without discipline.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Gao Huaide, I'll help you with this favor, and everyone will share the looted things. Although Zhao is greedy for money, he will never deceive others. There are two of us here, and their martial arts are better than yours. The three people will share equally, three to three into nine, and the remaining 1000% should belong to us. Also, you asked us to do this matter on your own initiative, regardless of whether there is any money in the robber's den afterwards, you owe me [-] taels of silver. This is how you allocate Any objections?"

"No, no, absolutely not." Gao Huaide really didn't expect Zhao Kuangyin to be so open-minded. Just now he clearly stated that all the things robbed from the robber's den belonged to him, but he even took the initiative to give himself [-]%. Although he didn't know how much money was in the robber's den, but For a person surnamed Zhao, it is not easy to do this.
