"What are you afraid of? What about the Xia Kingdom? You can still kill me, don't you?"
Su Lailin almost couldn't breathe. Good guy, all the warnings I gave this bastard along the way were in vain.
Originally, a group of people could reach Taihuang County in about three to five days, but they didn't expect that this kid would not take the usual route at all.
I found that some tribes were holding some gatherings along the way, so I decided to go and have a look. I waited for another seven or eight days before arriving late.
After arriving at the gate and registering, Su Lunji handed over the weapons and other items out of habit.
A soldier wrote a small note and stuck it on his weapon to avoid taking it by mistake.
The naughty boy curled his lips and quietly put the dagger away.
"Sulunji, why do you want to take away our weapons?"
Su Lunji said helplessly, "This is the rule of Taihuang County. You must hand in your weapons when entering the city and take them away when you leave. And you cannot gather people to fight, otherwise you will be captured and used as slaves."
Su Lailun was stunned, suddenly thought of something, and immediately said hurriedly, "Where is your dagger?"
The naughty boy curled his lips and whispered, "I won't cause any trouble."
A sneer appeared on Suluji's face. During the few days of play, he wiped his butt so many times.
"Don't force me to whip you. Take it out quickly. If you are discovered, don't tell me to come. Even if the queen comes, it will be useless."
Some tribesmen who have never seen the world may not think anything of it, but they have traveled all over the country and visited several tribes and countries.
He could see the power of the Xia Kingdom with his eyes. From the passes outside to the current city, the huge instruments on the city wall all proved its power.
If something happens here, it won't be easy for anyone to come.
"Take it out quickly!"
Under the gaze of the soldiers, the naughty boy took it out fiercely.
When he saw the dagger, the soldier's eyes couldn't help but light up. It was a good weapon, and it was made in the style of the Central Plains. He thought it was the result of a transaction, so he didn't think much about it.
Su Lunji took out a handful of coins from his arms to pay for the entrance fee, and then walked inside.
They need to purchase a lot of things this time. After all, it is quite troublesome to do it once.
Fortunately, the distance is relatively close, so we won't take the wrong path, otherwise we will be in trouble.
When everyone entered, a girl with sideburns walked out of the city, carrying a basket on her waist, looking very smart.
"Hey, it's Ai Laila. What kind of food can I give to your father?"
Seeing the girl coming, several soldiers started to laugh. When they saw the girl's basket, their smiles became even more intense.
A clever soldier immediately shouted outside.
"Bai Chang, Bai Chang, your daughter will come and pull her."
The gatekeeper Bai Chang who was maintaining order outside was stunned and explained the matter, then ran over as fast as he could.
"A-Ei, why are you here?"
The girl is about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a pink smile and a very outgoing appearance.
"Dad, today the county magistrate's office distributed meat. Grandma made some braised pork, made a pot of good wine, and asked me to deliver it!"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up.
Bai Chang frowned and said, "What kind of wine?"
"Don't worry, Dad, it's millet wine and nothing else."
Bai Chang then breathed a sigh of relief. It was still working time, but he couldn't drink at will. He had to wait until the morning shift changed before he could eat.
As for drinks, don't worry about General Lie. The price is relatively expensive. With their salary, it's the same as people with a monthly salary of two or three thousand who want to drink Maotai.
You can afford it if you grit your teeth, but it’s not necessary.
Generally, it is a spirit with a relatively high alcohol content, but when taking a break from eating, it is still not against the rules to choose corn wine with a lower alcohol content.
Bai Chang put away the large vegetable basket, and then started to get busy. His daughter played here for a while, but she was used to it anyway.
As a hundred-year-old, he came out of the Polu Army, so he was quite lucky. At least he brought his wife and daughter with him, but he was far away from his parents and couldn't fulfill his filial piety.
Fortunately, he is not an only child. He can rest assured that his parents will be handed over to a few older brothers.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Polu Army in Taihuang County were provided with subsidies for meat, grain, wine, and cloth.
Bai Chang and a few others were busy outside. As the influence of Taihuang County grew, more and more caravans came and went. He had already reported to the boss and needed to mobilize some more soldiers.
Otherwise, just checking the goods would be enough for these defenders to drink.
Ah Hui is very familiar with this place. When she and her father and his wife eat together, she will also eat together. After finishing the meal, she will take the basket and go home. In the evening, her father will go home.
My life was ordinary, but very satisfying. At least I had food, meat, and cloth. My life was less carefree than before.
After waiting for a while, Ah Hui knew that she had come a little early today, and because she was bored, she started playing around in the duty room.
It is equipped with weapons and equipment, a rest room, and a storage room. Although the door is not big, it is actually quite big inside. There are several soldiers in the weapons storage room who almost cannot come out for fear of something happening.
A-Ei walked towards the inside running around.
"Hey, it's Ai."
"What delicious food did you bring today?"
Ah Hui said sweetly, "My mother cooked braised pork."
The two soldiers who stayed behind immediately became happy. One of them pointed at the shelves full of shelves and said.
"Ahui likes weapons very much. Every time you come here, you will look at these things. This is not what a little girl should do."
Ah Hui pursed her lips and said nonchalantly, "I just like to watch swords and guns, but my father won't let me, saying that a girl should understand female celebrities!"
Another soldier said in a funny way, "Who said that, I can also use swords and guns? Don't forget, we are from the Xia Kingdom. What are the people of the Xia Kingdom doing if they don't play with swords and guns?"
"Come, let me show you some of my swords!"
With that said, the soldier took the sword off the shelf and handed it to A-E.
Ah Hui immediately took the weapon in her hand happily, but the heavy weight of the weapon almost made Ah Hui fall down.
"This sword is so strange. Why does it look like this? Dad's sword is more beautiful."
When I picked up a bronze sword, I always felt that it was very ugly, even compared with my father’s bronze sword before.
"Haha, this is not a bronze sword, this is a staff sword. It comes from a small country in Loulan. If this kind of weapon is given to us and given to the auxiliary soldiers, the auxiliary soldiers will despise it."
After looking at them for a long time, Ah Hui couldn't help but marvel, "There are many countries here. Although the weapons are similar, some of them look very strange, and I don't know if they are useful or not."
The soldier explained, "Most of the Western Region is desert Gobi. It is difficult for horses to gallop because their hooves will sink into the sand."
"So, many countries use camels, and some weapons are more suitable for fighting on camels."
Ah Hui put the weapon on the table next to him and said angrily, "My father never shows me his sword."
The soldier smiled and said, "Whatever it is, it's up to me."
After saying that, the soldier pulled out the Sutie sword he carried with him. Maybe he had never pulled out the knife in the storage room, so he accidentally touched the shelf.
Suddenly a dagger fell.
"Bang!"
"Hiss~~~It hurts so much!"
Ah Hui covered her head. It was obvious that she had been hit hard by the dagger. Upon seeing this, the soldier immediately opened A Hui's hair and looked at it. After a long time, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Bai Chang only has one daughter. If Ah Hui is injured, he will be in trouble. He has prepared a dozen little shoes for himself.
"Ae, are you okay?"
Ah Hui shook her head, "It's okay."
After saying that, she picked up the dagger from the ground. When she saw the dagger, her expression moved slightly.
"What a beautiful weapon!"
The soldier looked at the dagger, combined with the name on the dagger, smiled and said, "It should have been exchanged during the transaction with our people over there."
As a border soldier, he knew almost everything about the weapons between various countries.
"bass!"
Ah Hui pulled out the dagger, and there was a cold light. She knew it was not a mortal thing at first sight. And the most exaggerated thing is, looking at the cold light on the back of the dagger, she felt that it was no worse than Su Tiedao, and it might even be better than Su Tiedao. .
Ah Hui was shocked by her own thoughts. She also came from Yuntong County. Although she was young, her father once said that the best weapons in the world came from Yuntong County.
But how could Yuntong County sell weapons that were as good as Su Tiedao or even better than Su Tiedao?
The more Ah Hui thought about it, the more it made no sense. After carefully examining the dagger, she suddenly rubbed her eyes and engraved two words on the bottom of the dagger.
【Wu'an】
The other side is engraved with [Yuntong]
A Hui scratched her head, feeling a little bad all over.
"Uncle Hao, look here."
Ah Hui pointed at the small words on the bottom of the dagger. The soldier named Uncle Hao looked at it carefully, his eyes full of confusion, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Ahui, you, Uncle Hao, and I can do everything. Even if we can't read, we can also write our own names."
Uncle Hao turned to look at his companion. The companion shrugged and shook his head. He was obviously illiterate.
Although Yang Gan strives to eliminate illiteracy, you must know that it is easy to teach him when he is a child, but it is difficult to learn when he grows up. Not everyone is interested in literacy.
Uncle Hao smiled and said, "What's written on it?"
Ah Hui's face was full of curiosity.
"Wu An is written on one side and Yuntong is written on the other!"
"Wu'an, Yuntong?"
"Fuck~~~!"
Uncle Hao's easy-going expression suddenly turned frightened. He grabbed the dagger and looked at it carefully. Another soldier also hurried over.
The two looked carefully, but couldn't see anything interesting, Uncle Hao said seriously.
"Ah-Ei, is it these two words?"
Ah Hui said firmly, "Yes, my father taught me how to read and write. I can still recognize ordinary characters."
"Ae, stay here."
"oh!"
Uncle Hao held the dagger inside and walked outside. When he found Bai Chang, he muttered a few words in his ear.
Bai Chang took the dagger and his eyes widened.
As a hundred-year-old man, he was naturally literate. Even if he didn't know much, it was not difficult to recognize these four characters.
Bai Chang's face changed color.
"Haozi, take good care of my daughter. I'll come as soon as I go."
"promise!"
Bai Chang immediately walked towards the city and found his Shangguan. Upon hearing this, the Shangguan felt something was wrong and reported it to everyone.
