Crown Sword

Tianshui County was quickly rebuilt in the smoke of gunpowder after Lu Guang took possession of the Great Liang Heavenly King. Benefiting from the commercial roads in the Western Regions, Tianshui County was rich and rich. The houses in the city were adjacent to each other.Han merchants and Hu merchants gathered together, camel caravans came in an endless stream, and there were peddlers, men, women and children, who were not only enthusiastic, but also really unrestrained.

Chao Chen was negotiating a good price with a horse-faced and broad-cheeked Han horse dealer, and he dug his hands into his waist sleeves, only to realize that he was in a hurry and didn't bring any money.Just as he was cramped and embarrassed, a hand with slender knuckles stretched out, holding a money bag in the palm of his hand and weighed it.

Listen to the sound, it's not a colored treasure, but it's real gold and silver, and it's still bulging.The peddler smiled and tried to hold it with both hands, but it was in vain.

The purse was taken back.

"You dare to ask for this number with just this horse?" Gong Yangyue put his five fingers together, with a mocking expression on his face.

The Liangzhou area and the entire Western Regions, gold, pearls and jade are hard to pass. In addition, some areas also accept Xinquan money.Before Lvliang, the Zhang family once ruled the king here, Liangwu King Zhang Gui coined money with the name of the year, and circulated it wantonly, so that the Zhang family died for many years, and there was still no lack of private casting.

The peddler raised his chin, looked at the man from head to toe first, and saw that it was a man with a sword, he relaxed his tone: "Master, although our family's horse is not a famous Dawan horse, it is also a thousand-mile breed from the Qilian Mountain Racecourse set up by the champion! "

"How dare you say it," Gong Yangyue squeezed Chao Chen behind, grabbed the rein of one horse, ran it along the mane all the way to the ribs, and finally slapped the horse's back, "Just this one, the iliac bone Broad, short ribs, hooves and shins of different sizes, a typical 'three weak and five weak' horse, just to scare a fool like him."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and nodded on Chao Chen's head.

"There is also this horse, which is too big, and the meat is piled up on the stomach. Why, the meat horse is also used to make up the number?" Gong Yangyue took out a change, "Only these four horses, no more."

The horse dealer was impatient, and cursed in a Longxi dialect: "Where are you going to send the beggar? Don't sell it, don't sell it to the head office!"

Gong Yangyue held down the horse-faced man's shoulder with the hilt of his sword, put it close to his ear, and said softly, "The hoof nails haven't been pried clean, your horse's road is dirty enough."

The man froze.

Chao Chen didn't hear what the two of them said, seeing the man's head was covered with cold sweat, he just thought that Gong Yangyue was bullying him, so he went up to persuade him: "Even if it's a meaty horse, it's not just one..."

"It's none of your business." Gongyangyue brushed him away, isolating the knife shadow.

The horse-faced dealer drew his sword to attack, but the sword came out and turned back, and within a breath, the string of small-leaf red sandalwood beads on his right wrist fell to the ground, and the scimitar on his waist fell along with it.Knowing that he had kicked the iron board, the horse dealer let out a "bah", took off the rein and threw it over, turned his head and ran for his life: "It's ok, you can eat the black, right, today is the way, you boy wait for me!"

When the people ran away, Gong Yangyue called Chao Chen to lead the horse, but the latter didn't move, holding up his sleeves and saying sternly: "You also take advantage of the businessman?"

Gong Yangyue picked up the scimitar on the ground and waved it at Chao Chen's forehead: "How about giving you to him?"

Chao Chen opened one eye, glanced up, and found that the shiny knife stopped an inch away from the cap, so he quickly soothed his heart.

Gongyang Yueyang put the knife on the horse stake, untied the money bag with the mouth facing down, and saw that the "Gululu" inside was full of black-hearted stones.Seeing the scribe in front of him staring and backing away frequently, for fear of smashing his toes, he couldn't help laughing out comfortably: "Who told that damn girl Shuang Li to be so stingy, that was all my belongings just now."

"But this is also..."

"What the hell... Who will lead the horse for me if I sell you?" Gong Yangyue stuffed two of the reins of the four horses into his left and right hands, and walked in front with both sleeves flamboyant.

With four horses running side by side, the narrow street was completely occupied by him alone.Until now, Chao Chen has seen what it means to be ostentatious and what it means to be pointed at by others. He is thin-skinned, angry and ashamed, and follows behind with a dark face: "Didn't you say that this horse is not in good shape, so buy it to make it very?"

"No." Gong Yangyue stopped, pointing to the nail hook on the iron frame, and the big bare-armed man sharpening the knife.

Holding two kitchen knives, the big man showed his old yellow teeth at Chao Chen: "Young master, where are you selling horses?"

"Sell, sell."

Chao Chen hurriedly gave the horse to the butcher, who called his daughter-in-law and dragged them all to the courtyard behind the earthen house to be killed.Gong Yangyue took the coins and spread them out one by one in the palm of his hand, quite like a double carp money fan.

"Horse meat is hard and woody, so people will buy it." Seeing how rich he was, Chao Chen couldn't help but be sour.

Gong Yangyue collected the money carefully, and while pushing him to the horse market, he refuted him: "Do you think everyone has bad teeth like you? Among the 36 countries in the Western Regions, the people of Wusun have the best horse meat. Dried meat is their best dry food. The officials here don’t care about the market, and they can get a lot of money by using their brains in private.”

Without money, it is difficult to move an inch in the Western Regions.

Chao Chen stood there blankly. He had great fortunes in the past and never had to worry about money. Even when he was the poorest, he was taken in by the library. This kind of life was so real that he couldn't tell that money was something outside of him.After all, the knight-errants who ventured into the rivers and lakes did not own the land deeds of the manor, and they did not all steal from the rich and give to the poor.

"Why are you standing still? This one is for you." Gong Yangyue pointed at a half-sized foal in the stable.Chao Chen refused with a black face, and he pushed forward: "Are you sure, is it possible that you want to ride with me?"

Sure enough, Chao Chen, who is so familiar with the books of sages and sages, doesn't understand that the old man always sits up when he bargains, so he can only grind his teeth: "Shameless!"

Tall horses are much more expensive.

Gong Yangyue counted the money and handed it to the dealer: "It's just enough, a lot of money." When he got to the inn, Gong Yangyue looked at the donkey pulling the millstone in front of the hut. Knowing that buying a donkey can save you a little more.”

Walking out of Tianshui to the northwest is not like the Central Plains where there is a pavilion for five miles and a post for ten miles. The vegetation on the road is withered. If you look up, you will see either a wasteland or a red-red bald mountain stretching to the sky.

Gong Yangyue gave a whistle and raced with Qiao Min in front, the two carps were average in riding, sandwiched in the middle, but Chao Chen was the worst, with excellent riding skills, but the little pony was spinning around, taking five steps and retreating three times step, seeing being left behind.

After running across a dirt slope and about to go down, Gong Yangyue looked around and gestured to Qiao Min, and the two flew out together.

At the same time, the two horses knelt down and were tripped by the bridle rope.

People lying in ambush on all sides emerged from the ground, the first one was not the horse-faced businessman yesterday, Gong Yangyue drew his sword and flew towards the crowd.

"Just in time!"

These people are all horse thieves on the pastures in the northwest. The goods they rob will be broken up into pieces and sold in nearby markets and towns. Let it go, let's fool some stunned young people and take advantage of them.

Gongyangyue doesn't have the bad intentions of catching thieves, she just wants to make some money and change horses by the way.A thousand-mile horse has a price but no market, and the real good things are the guys who eat these horse bandits.He deliberately issued a warning yesterday, and what he was waiting for was to rob today halfway.

Qiao Min made up his sword in the rear sweeping formation, and Gong Yangyue fought vigorously. The two of them didn't seem to be intercepted, they were clearly chasing and beating a dog in the water.

The man with the horse's face lost his troops and hid in the ground with his ground burrowing technique, fleeing for his life in a hurry, but Gong Yangyue didn't give him a chance, his sword fell to the ground, only to see the blood soaking the loess, a coin was drawn out with the tip of the sword, and fell from the air Fei, and fell into the arms of Chao Chen who followed him.

"My money is not so easy to get," said the man, if he was smart, he should collect the money and run away, but unfortunately, he has an eye for money.Gongyangyue withdrew his sword, "It was too late, and I missed the good show."

Chao Chen looked at the corpses on the ground, but said nothing.

Although he is a bit pedantic, he is not stupid. This coin is clearly the one that was given out yesterday, and there is a small opening on the side of the coin eye that is not the size of a grain of rice.It turned out that the businessman was ganging up with the horse bandit, and Gong Yangyue deliberately exposed money to lure him?

This little pony?

A thought flashed through Chao Chen's mind, and Chao Chen felt a chill down his back—Gong Yangyue has good foot strength and lightness skills, but in terms of riding skills, he can get away with it. If he is allowed to ride a good horse, I am afraid that he will not be able to do so with his own temperament. , Never willing to fall behind others, just waiting to be the first to trip the horse and fall, is a real target.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Ram Yue with a complicated expression.

"Don't think too much, it's really just being poor." Gong Yangyue seemed to see through his thoughts, and drove him off the pony, and changed horses for several people.

Shuang Li didn't bother to talk at all, and had already jumped over the dead bodies on the sand, rushed forward and cut off the bandit's horse, hugging the horse's neck, with Fa Cai written in his eyes: "Just this one, sweat and blood BMW!"

"Being greedy for money is not worth the loss."

You have to pick the time to pick up the leaks. A good horse is a living sign in Dunhuang, and it is easy to attract people to covet it. You are not afraid of the wicked to snatch it, but you are afraid of the villain.Gong Yangyue signaled Qiao Min to let the horses go, leaving only four good ones, and then brought a maroon one to Chao Chen: "This is an old horse. Your martial arts skills are the worst, and old horses are spiritual. Will help you out if necessary."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the other side of the sand slope, grabbed the braids, dragged out the double carp that was holding on to the horse's legs, threw it on the horse's back, and then whipped him.

The horse neighed, and carried the little girl away.

A howl with a crying voice remained in the air——

"My money! Lao Yue, you lose money!"

Chao Chen walked under Gongyangyue's horse, grabbed his reins, buried his head in the shadows, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I won't trouble you until I go to Dunhuang to find clues, but... Could you stop making rude requests?"

"any request?"

"For example..." What is it to sleep on his arm all the time?Chao Chen was in a dilemma, and couldn't find the right words, so he asked, "Sleep with me?"

Gong Yangyue sprayed the wine on the face of Qiao Min who came to urge him, and the latter wiped it with his sleeve, his head seemed to be covered by a dark cloud for ten miles.

"You're right."

"You promised?"

"No, the rules are set by me. You are not qualified to negotiate conditions. At least you didn't..." Gong Yangyue laughed loudly. He mentioned that he was on the back of the horse and held his waist, "Go, there are often wolves in this area, so we must go through Longxi to Jincheng County before dark."

With a whistle, the old horse followed closely behind.

----

When the four of them arrived in Dunhuang, it was already May bonus.

The city was more than twice the size of Liangzhou, and Han merchants selling tea and copper wares could be seen everywhere on the road, and there were also many barbarian peddlers who sold hand-woven blankets on the ground, piled them with spike and antler jewelry, and sat on the ground.Wine flags flutter along both sides of the street, and at the intersection of alleys, there are farmers pushing their carts to cut early-ripe honeydew melons.

Shuang Li squatted on the railing of the wine house and looked around. From time to time, there would be a Persian woman with a slender figure who followed the male guest and walked along the long street with her waist twisted. She looked back at the corner and smiled charmingly, which made her heart rage.Shuang Li blushed and avoided, just in time to see some women who were poisoned put water bottles on their heads, so subconsciously pushed the tea bowl in hand to their foreheads, and turned over, and the tea soup splashed their noses.

Gongyangyue took a rag from the waiter's shoulder and covered her face: "I think you can try Yexiang next time."

"I heard from the novice monk from the east that good people go to bliss, but evil people fall into hell. Old Yue, you have such a poisonous mouth. Are you afraid of pulling out your tongue after death?" Shuang Li threw away the rag, took out the sweat towel in the bag, and wiped her face .

Gongyangyue didn't take it seriously: "For the rest of my life, who can control so much after death."

It was the first time for Chao Chen to go out of Liangzhou, and he was also fascinated by the colorful world. He couldn't help sighing: "There are indeed a lot of monks along the way. In the past, there were only two or three monks in Jinyang."

Shuang Li continued: "I heard that there will be floats and statues in the temple on April [-]th, but it's a pity that I didn't make it both times."

"Still in the mood to go to the temple fair? Why don't you look for clues first." Gong Yangyue took a sip of wine.

Looking at the huge city, thinking about the vastness of Dunhuang City, I couldn't help but feel discouraged: "It's so big, where can I find it?"

Gong Yangyue asked back: "Shouldn't this be asking you, student Wen Daweng?"

Shuangli laughed, and quickly lied: "My master doesn't care about the Western Regions, so he wants to use his influence to get news, which is a bit embarrassing."

This nonsense is not afraid of Gong Yangyue's unbelief, the 36 countries are far outside the Great Wall, and the forces among them are intricate, few people in the Central Plains martial arts have dealt with them, lack of sources of information, even if they have the ability to make something out of nothing.Even when Fu Jian was alive, Zong Pinglu, the "feather general" among the six-star generals under his command, established the "mustard dust network" forces all over the north to collect information, but he dared not claim to know the Western Regions well.

Sure enough, Gongyangyue didn't ask, but the guilty Shuangli couldn't calm down, and tried every means: "What should I do, I can't wait..."

"Since the clue is a piece of jade, we must start with jade," Chao Chen thought while rubbing his chin, and gave two directions, "Maybe the astrolabe also has hidden secrets. I don't know if there are some people who are proficient in astronomy and astrology among the various clans." A man of the occult."

Hearing this, Gongyang Yue felt reasonable, tapped his fingers on the table, and stared at the girl beside him with a smile: "I remember the last time I went to Guazhou, you saved some treasures in the black market, and you haven't had time to transport them away."

Shuang Li clutched her small cloth bag tightly, with "Reject" written all over her face.

Gong Yangyue had an idea, and pointed to the outside of the wine house: "There are actually people from Emperor Shige in this place. Look at their well-behaved manners. Could it be that the master of Shige came here in person?"

The little girl turned her head to look, and the cloth bag in her hand had changed owners.

Shuang Li was so angry that he yelled, "I was wrong, Lao Yue, you should not only pull out your tongue, but also chop your hands, chop your hands!"
