Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the Wei family, Zhang Noi said to Lu Bo: "Is there Zeng Ji who can be heard of?"
Lu Bo said: "No one in my group knows him."
Zhang He said: "Uncle Tang doesn't know either, and I think the same goes for others. The people of Qin have done a lot of things here. If they open the market and open the seal, there must be some people who are not humane. We will find out in detail."
Lu Bo said: "How to investigate?"
Zhang He said: "Sir, you can tell Mr. Guo that when the Qin people arrive, Chen Zhen will mediate. Everyone else will listen to Mr. Guo's instructions."
Lu Bo said, "Where do you want to live, sir?"
Zhang He said: "I will stay with the Wei family, so I can get the news easily. - Chen Zhen's matter is actually obtained by the Wei family. - He should also do something about it. Uncle Tang once met Zeng Ji, so he has something to say. ?”
Lu Bo said: "Tang Shudao, Zeng is a very human being, shrewd and restrained, with even muscles and bones. He is an extraordinary brave warrior, and he has a secret method."
Zhang Noi asked: "Where does the secret method come from?"
Lu Bo said: "Tang Shudao, I am afraid that I will get it from Yue Nu."
Zhang He said: "The Zeng family is originally from Yue? Who is the Zeng family?"
Lu Bo said: "There are many people in Yue who practice Yue Nu Sword. The Yue died and scattered in Wu, Chu, Jin and Qi. It is still there. It is really difficult to know where the Zeng family learned it."
Zhang He said: "He said that he is a Korean, does he mean that he is a member of the Nie Zheng family?"
Lu Bo said: "Nie Zheng was always brave. He learned the skills of Qi, but he hid in the market and slaughtered dogs. His skills were similar to those of Han and Qi, and he was not a swordsman."
Zhang Noi said: "Sir, do you know a lot about swords?"
Lu Bo said: "When I was young, I traveled around the rivers and lakes. I heard and saw a lot, but I was not refined."
Zhang Noi said: "Sir, please explain the outline."
Lu Bo pondered for a moment and said: "The sword is for inspection. A gentleman wears it to prepare for emergency and to inspect himself. The method of fencing is actually from the barbarians: Yue, Chu, Shu, and the southern barbarians. It is also used for stabbing; Yan and Qi were the Eastern Yi people, and they used it to strike; Zhou and Qin were the Western Rong people, and they used it to stamp their feet and jump. This is a rough idea. The Three Jin Dynasties didn't have swords at all, but they came from all over the world to use them, so they learned it at the same time."
Zhang Ye said: "Sir, you are sincere and knowledgeable. Zeng's sword is as quiet as a virgin, and moves like a fearful tiger. It goes forward indomitably and dares to surpass the female sword."
Lu Bo said: "Sir, have you seen it?"
Zhang Ye said: "I just saw a sword, as fast as thunder and lightning, and it came at me - but it was a straight thrust."
Lu Bo admired it and said: "It is said that the female sword of Yue can stab an ape, but Zeng's sword does not hurt. He is a god."
Zhang Ye said: "Zeng seems to have something hidden, and he is an unusual chivalrous person. He has had pasts with Uncle Tang and Guo's father and son, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hide our identity. When he shows up, he will be treated by either friend or foe. But don’t deceive.”
Lu Bo said: "Greetings."
Zhang Ye turned around quietly, and the Wei family and his party were already inside and outside, but they had not arrived yet, so he said: "Han secretly joined Qin, and ordered Qin's light troops to enter Qifeng, but Ming used the military market to provide food and grass for them."
When Lu Bo heard this, he was silent for a moment and said: "It's really a wonderful strategy. But there are clouds in the art of war. The soldiers are clumsy and quick, but they don't know how to be clever. The Qin people stopped their troops under the fortified city and did not advance or retreat. But if they opened the military market, they might not be able to do it. Why."
Zhang He said: "The food from all directions has arrived, I'm afraid it will hurt the country."
Lu Bo said: "Of course. Even if you do, it is not as simple as a military defeat."
Zhang He said: "Although the Qin people are famous for their fierceness, their tactics are not weak. I'm afraid they have other plans."
Lu Bo said: "Sincerity must be guarded against."
Zhang He said: "But for the current plan, we must also go into Qifeng, get the true situation, and make a plan with the king to punish the thieves."
Lu Bo said: "Why should I tell you?"
Zhang He looked at the sky and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, we have already set off camp. When the seal is unsealed and we first get the truth, it will not be wrong to ask Mr. Yi to report back in the evening. - If we leave now, I am afraid that the Wei family will be suspicious of what happened." It will be disharmonious.”
The city is in sight ahead. The two men once again restrained their expressions in alarm. Zhang He was walking in front and saw a thatched cottage on the roadside with a string of gourds propped out on a wooden stick. In front of and behind the house, there are branches hanging out on shelves, and withered yellow vines are still wrapped around them. Zhang Nou stepped forward, crossed his hands on his chest, and said loudly: "Businessmen from far away would like to welcome Jia Hu!"
The door of the thatched cottage separated by the wooden fence opened with a "squeak", and a middle-aged man came out. He saw two people standing outside the fence, one dressed as a man, and the other in a long cloth. He thought they were the master and the servant, and walked out. When he got to the fence, he crossed his arms and said, "Where are you coming from, Master? I have a gourd to hold water to increase sweetness, and wine to increase fragrance. It is both small and large. What do you want, Master?"
Zhang Noi said: "My parents' words are interesting. May I ask for your honorific name?"
The man said: "How can there be a surname in a low-door thatched cottage? Su Zhihu Guo, the younger brother of the family, is known as Bohu in the countryside. If a guest dares to visit Hu Guo, how much does it cost?"
Zhang Ye asked back: "How many gourds do you still have in your place?"
When Bohu heard this, he was stunned and said: "Although my house is small, I'm afraid it won't be more than a hundred, thirty or forty."
Zhang Ye said: "Young man has company outside the city, and he has got two to three hundred people. He is suitable for your hometown, and he has thirty jars of water in his well. May I ask my brother, how many jars are needed?"
Bohu just now knew that someone was selling well water, and he was very jealous. Now he saw that it was the man's companion, who was also very generous, and he was also very excited. He hurriedly promoted: "Just now, I have thirty jars of well water, and I have paid a lot for it." Thirty coins. This is my despicable business. Thirty coins will all go to sir."
Zhang Xian said: "Thirty coins is not a small businessman, let's see what the gourd is like."
The man returned to his room, and after a while, he and a little boy carried out a large basket, which was filled with gourds, big or small, upright or slanted, each one different. The man and the boy tipped the basket on the spot and spread the gourd flat in the courtyard. The man introduced with passion: "Young master, please take a look. They are all harvested this autumn and dried under the eaves. They are all big gourds, none of them are leaky, and they can all hold water."
Zhang He glanced at the gourds and saw that no matter how big or small, the tops of the gourds had been cut off, and the inner flesh had been cleaned up, so he asked: "Are there any gourds?"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Bohu's face, and he said: "Young Master is such a noble person, but he is so humble that I cannot accept your wishes. I hope that Young Master will choose another family."
Zhang Hearing this, he was stunned. He didn't know why Bohu was acting like this. Behind him, Lu Bo hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Bohu, don't be weird. My young master is very good at it. He is made of cork."
Of course Bohu knew what was going on, so he said: "In the poor country, there is no such thing as good stuff. It's just some dead branches wrapped with kudzu."
Seeing the two people saying this, Zhang Yue knew that he was timid, but as a scholar who traveled around the world, he had only seen specialized corks and didn't know the hard work of the lower classes, so it didn't seem to be out of the ordinary. However, I thought in my heart that I must not wear short pants, otherwise I will be discovered. Seeing this embarrassment, Zhang Yuan laughed dryly and said: "You are shameless, I have offended Bohu, please forgive me!" Bohu really thought that this was a scholar who had no knowledge and was brought out by his retainers, so he didn't care and kept saying it. I let him go with a few "How dare you".
Zhang Ye said: "I have all these gourds, but there are so many that they are difficult to carry..."
Bohu said, "What's the matter? My father and son will go with us!" As he said this, he and the boy beside him picked up the gourd into the basket. Lu Bo really took out thirty coins from his arms - it was Lu Bojie who generously grabbed a wallet and gave it to him after meeting Lu Bo brothers - if now Lu Bo took out a piece of gold cake, even a small piece , it is estimated that the transaction cannot be completed. Bohu collected the money, inserted a bamboo pole across the ears of the basket, lifted it up with the boy, and said to Zhang Noi and Lu Bo, "Please lead me, sir."
