I can't die

The shopkeeper of the Xinzhe Grain Bank walked out of the city with Xiao Bing, and heard a group of people discussing there from a long distance away.The soldiers defending the city relied on themselves to be regarded as military households anyway. Some forces snorted coldly, and immediately the crowd dispersed, forming a small road.The shopkeeper looked along the path, and saw a handsome man sitting in the crowd. The man was holding a crude cup in his hand, completely ignoring other people's pointing and pointing, drinking tea leisurely there. , and behind him stood seven burly men, who were not easy to see.

"It turns out that the young master's family is here. Why don't you tell me in advance, so that the little one can come to meet him in advance."

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes when he saw Liu Xiang, and hurriedly approached him humbly.Liu Xiang looked at the shopkeeper, but let out a cold "hum", got up from the chair with a flick of his sleeves, and walked straight to Yumen Town.Seeing Liu Xiang's posture, Xiao Bing knew that he was indeed the young owner of Xinzhe Grain Company, so he couldn't stop him, but he couldn't help but said in his heart: If he really came from a rich family, no one else can imitate his style.

"Young master has a big temper, I really want to trouble you, give the money to the officials to drink." The shopkeeper looked at Liu Xiang's arrogant posture, and was afraid of offending these janitors, so he took out a small amount of 30 taels from his bosom The bank note was handed over to Xiaobing. Thirty taels is equivalent to five or six years' rations for a family of ordinary people. Seeing this, Xiaobing couldn't be dissatisfied, so he stopped pursuing it and let Liu Xiang leave.

When Liu Xiang entered the Yumen Pass, the shopkeeper of the Xinzhe Grain Company opened the way in front, and was protected by seven guards in the back. He was mighty and majestic. Coupled with his jade-like face, it didn't take long for the entire Yumen Everyone in the town knows that there is such a beautiful and rich man in the town.

After Liu Xiang followed the shopkeeper to the grain store, he came to the cabinet under the guidance of the shopkeeper.C[-], C[-]. .Bingba and the others guarded the door of the room with a tacit understanding, not allowing anyone to approach, and only two people were left in the room.

"Jiasan has met Chief Attendant Liu."

The shopkeeper knelt down and bowed to Liu Xiangdan after he couldn't hear any movement around him.As I said before, the four major commanders at the sticky pole are in command of A, B, C, and D respectively. Liu Xiang is the boss of C, and now B is managed by Rongshou, and A is personally led by Xia Changping, which is the head of the four.

"It's okay, get up. I came here in a hurry this time, and I didn't let you know. Don't be offended."

The Liu family was single-handedly supported by sticky poles. Xia Changping fell in love with this family because of the ability of Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen to travel far and wide.As the eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Xiang was raped by Xia Changping himself, so he can be regarded as Xia Changping's disciple, and his relationship with Jiabu can be regarded as close.

"Nowadays there is a lot of turmoil in Shaanxi and Gansu, and the news is not very smooth. You have to know some things in your mind."

"nature."

It used to be that Sticky Rod had a specific message transmission network between various strongholds across the country, but with the fall of Shaanxi and Gansu, many news and transmission channels have been scrapped.After all, paper messages are too easy to lose. Once the messages fall into the hands of the rebels, the consequences will be disastrous.

At that moment, Jiasan hurriedly told Liu Xiang all the news he had collected recently.The more Liu Xiang listened, the more he frowned: "I still don't know who has such great ability and dares to take grain from our Xinzhe Grain Bank. , hold on to death."

"Our food is all from the Hui people. Are they afraid that the Hui people will kill them if they find out?"

The New Zhejiang Grain Bank was supported by sticky poles. In order to get more information from all sides, they have always collected grain regardless of returning to Han, collecting grain at a uniform price, and treating grain equally in terms of sales. Even in the store, many of the guys are local Hui people. It is conceivable that this food store still has a good reputation among the Hui names.

"My subordinates are watching, I'm afraid those Hui people don't know about it, and besides, they are too busy to take care of themselves now, how can they have time to talk about this?" Just like all peasant uprisings, although everyone discussed it at the beginning. But when things really happen, it is often extremely easy to have internal conflicts and fight endlessly for command power.

"Heh. It's not in the right place." Liu Xiang smiled, with a three-point coldness on Junyi's face, obviously he didn't take this group of Hui rebels seriously.That's right, thinking that the rebels of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom numbered tens of millions, and they were not all settled by the court in the end. These Hui people would not exist like cannon fodder when Governor Zuo Zongtang's army arrived?

Just as Liu Xiang was thinking about the swallowed food and grass, Bing San at the door suddenly knocked on the door.Liu Xiang and Jia San stopped discussing this for a moment.

"What's the matter?"

"My lord, someone outside said that the local garrison came to invite you to drink." Bing San said respectfully outside.

"Hey! Look. It came quickly." Liu Xiang smiled even more when he heard this.Isn't it?Wasn't he coming to Yumen Town so arrogantly before to attract the attention of the Taiping rebels stationed outside the city.

"What do you think they are here for?" Liu Xiang actually had Cheng Fu in his heart, but he still asked A San jokingly.

"Why else, could it be that you can't make amends to the Young Master's family?" When Jiasan said this, he also laughed.

"Haha! Take a look! I also want to see this Hongmen Banquet."

Liu Xiang raised the long sword at his waist, laughed and opened the door first and walked out. Jiasan looked at this graceful commander and couldn't help but admire him.

If a man deserves this, he is the tiger's den and the dragon's pool ahead, so what if he breaks into it?

Liu Xiang walked out of the food store, and he saw more than a dozen soldiers waiting at the door, the leader was a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar.When the man saw Liu Xiang, he was also unaware of being shocked by Liu Xiang's appearance, and then quickly reacted, stepped forward and said politely: "So it's the young master of the Liu family, right? The staff under the banner of King Fu, surnamed Zhang, I came here to meet you."

When Liu Xiang saw Zhang's staff, he restrained his arrogance: "It's Mr. Zhang, I don't know what I'm looking for?"

"My king heard that the young master's family came to Yumen, so he specially prepared a banquet in the Changhe Tower. Please tell the young master's family."

"I never imagined that I would be able to work hard to support the prince's family banquet, so I can't refuse."

After finishing speaking, Liu Xiang took the horse bolt in Bingsan's hand, jumped up gracefully, and jumped on the horse, which can be described as heroic: "Please lead the way ahead, sir."

Staff member Zhang watched Liu Xiang get on the horse by himself, and was taken aback for a while, and motioned his subordinates to drag the carriage down calmly.

"Also ask the young master to follow me."
