Chapter Thirty-Seven: Still Water Bay in Troubled Times

Feng Ying put down the bow and arrow in her hand for the first time!

The first toy she got in her life was a small bow and arrow.

By the time she was five years old, she was able to shoot birds with a small bow and arrow.

When she was seven years old, General Qin gave her a bow and arrow that fit on her arm.

By the time she was ten years old, she had already achieved the goal of arrows.

She used a bow for the first time when she was twelve years old!

When she was fifteen years old, she could open two bows twenty-four times in a row!

Today, she finally put down the bow and arrow in her hand, picked up Xiao Chu's handcuff and was stunned.

Xiao Chu is very busy, and he can't take care of the young lady who is starting to be stupid.

There were seventeen bodies on the ground that needed to be disposed of.

Although some people were still alive, Xiao Chu still took the Shu Mountain thieves and threw them into the abyss as corpses, and these people couldn't stay!

This time the battle was very bad, except for the two ingots of Fengyang Mansion official silver that could not be circulated in the market, as well as some broken silver, the rest was some worn armor.

Xiao Chu didn't like it, because her chest was too high to wear it, but the Shu thieves liked it very much, with this thing, the fatal place was protected.

Although these armors are not good, they are better than nothing.

Half of the Half Moon Pavilion was destroyed and turned into a real Half Moon Pavilion, and Xiao Chu still felt a little guilty.

As a mountain native, she has not even destroyed the huts left by hunters in the mountains.

"Boom!" Feng Ying fired a shot.

The shot was a smooth rock wall, and instead of burrowing into the rock, the buckshot turned into a small lead cake and stuck to the rock wall.

Xiao Chu secretly glanced at the young lady, and urged everyone to leave quickly, she really wanted to arrive at Yushan as soon as possible and eat the strips of meat as soon as possible.

Feng Ying sat on the back of the donkey with a handcuff in her arms, and completely fell into silence.

Xiao Chu was very proud of carrying Miss's longbow and Miss's quiver.

This was the most intimate contact she had with the young lady's bow and arrow.

"The Yun clan also has a long bird gun, right?"

Feng Ying suddenly asked Xiao Chu who was following along.

Xiao Chu said: "Yes, it's too long, I don't like it." ”

"Which one should hit farther, even more than the bow and arrow, right?"

"I don't know, when we get to Lantian County, Miss can ask Yun Zhao, he should know."

Feng Ying sighed and said, "It's my fault for giving up half of the inheritance of the arsenal. ”

Xiao Chu said in surprise: "You didn't like birds before." ”

Feng Ying shook his head and said, "I used to always say that you were stupid, but in fact, the stupidest person is me." I've been practicing bows and arrows for more than ten years, but I can't compare to firearms and grenades in battle.

I boast of my strong martial arts, and if I encounter weapons such as birds and grenades, I am afraid that I will return to the West if I have not yet displayed my skills.

So, Xiao Chu, I regret it. ”

Xiao Chu looked at Miss Mune's face carefully and said, "It seems to be a little late." ”

Feng Ying said: "It's not too late, as long as I can turn this corner, it's not too late." "Yun Zhao won't give us any more things in the arsenal."

"I'm not talking about what's in the arsenal, I'm talking about what we know about firearms. This time I went to Lantian County, I should have a good understanding of firearms.

Xiao Chu, let's go! ”

When the sun was setting in the west, Feng Ying and his party finally saw a large plain, but a not-so-tall city stood at the mouth of the Meridian Valley.

It's time for the Meridian Pass.

Xiao Chu was originally very happy, but after coming to Chengguan, she was not happy, and the old immortal guy actually asked her for tax silver.

"Fifteen taxes one, don't want to escape, if you don't want to, you can return to Shuzhong."

An old official with shiture in the corners of his eyes raised his head sleepily, and after saying a word, he buried his head on the table and slept.

"Where in the world is there such a rule?"

Xiao Chu shouted angrily.

The old official raised his head and saw a beautiful little girl standing in front of him, so he wiped off his eyes and said with a smile: "It's not possible to enter Lantian County without paying taxes." ”

"Don't try to lie to me, this is Chang'an County!"

The old official is not angry, although Meridian Valley is important, the county does not attach much importance to it, and it is very lonely on weekdays, and it is also a rare pastime to mix with a beautiful little girl.

"This is Lantian County."

"Nonsense, this is Chang'an County."

"This is Lantian County, don't believe it, you see, the boundary monument is there."

Xiao Chu looked in the direction of the old official's finger, and sure enough, in a tea shed, he saw a boundary monument in Lantian County that seemed to have just been carved.

"Girl, if you want to find Chang'an County, you have to enter Xi'an City to find it, Chang'an County Zun moved the county government into Xi'an City, and this area belongs to Lantian County.

It's not too early, hurry up and calculate the tax, go to the grass market to get a good position, tomorrow is the day the market opens, don't miss it. ”

Xiao Chu looked at the boundary monument and always felt like he had met a liar.

The old official seemed to see through Xiao Chu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't worry, there will be no liars when you enter Lantian County."

If you want to find a scammer, you have to go to the county government to have a look. ”

This scene all fell in Feng Ying's eyes, and she was also extremely puzzled in her heart, but when she saw the basket full of broken silver and copper coins on the side of the old official's table, she said to Xiao Chu: "Do as he says." ”

Xiao Chu saw an acquaintance from a distance.

His eyes rolled, and he took out the two ingots of Fengyang Mansion official silver that he had hidden from his baggage and slapped them on the old official's table.

She thought that the old official would jump up in surprise anyway, and he would definitely shout.

It's a pity that the old official was not as surprised as she imagined, took the ingot of silver and examined it carefully, and said with satisfaction: "Jiajing's eleventh year Fengyang Mansion Xuehua official silver, good things, I can't see it, you little girl actually has such a good thing."

Since the little girl is bold, and the old man is cheap to you once, he will not remove your fire consumption, and you can exchange it for broken silver. ”

Don't look at this old official seems to be dazzled and deaf, but he is in good spirits when he settles the taxes, the young man over there reports the quantity of goods, and he pulls the abacus beads on his side, and when the young man finishes reporting, he has already calculated the accounts here.

"Sixteen taels and seven dollars and five cents."

After speaking, he quickly counted out a pile of broken silver from the bamboo basket next to him, pushed it in front of Xiao Chu and said, "Find your head!" ”

Xiao Chu only found out at this time that the bamboo basket next to this old official was full of copper coins and broken silver, and then looked left and right, this small tax office actually only had two junior officials who were no more than fifteen years old, as for this old official, in Xiao Chu's opinion, he was not manpowered.

"Aren't you afraid that someone will rob you of your money?"

The old official said with a smile: "If the little girl has bad intentions, even if the silver is taken away, it is good to leave the little old man with an old life." ”

"Are you really not afraid of the silver being robbed?"

"Don't be afraid, or else, the little girl can try, the old man closes his eyes, and he doesn't see it."

Xiao Chu looked at the snowflake official silver that was thrown into the basket by the old official at will, shook his head and said, "Miss is not allowed." ”

The old official said with a smile: "There is no problem for someone who can take out the official silver of Fengyang Mansion to rob the tax office guarded by Xiao Lao'er."

It's just that, robbing the tax office in Lantian County, it will really be beheaded, it's not that no one has ever had the idea of tax money before, no one can run away, they have all been cut off by my county, there is no exception. “

"What I gave you is the official silver, or the official silver of Fengyang Mansion, don't you ask?"

The old official smiled: "There are many capable people in this world, Shan Xiongxin has also intercepted the imperial bar, as long as the silver you bring is not filled with lead, I dare to accept it in Lantian County, anyway, after taking it back, it will be melted back, money is money, and it can't be used because it has a mark." ”

"Xiao Chu, let's go!"

Feng Ying called out to Xiao Chu from afar, and this simple-minded girl ran back, grabbed Yun Jia's hand and said, "I want to eat strips of meat!" ”

Yun Jia smiled happily and nodded again and again: "Fu Bo asked me to pick you up, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, and I thought you would arrive tomorrow at the earliest." ”

Feng Ying smiled: "It's all for this gluttonous girl." ”

Yun Jia looked at the goods brought by Feng Ying and them, and said to the old tax collector: "Old Zhangtou, these goods will be handed over to you, go to Caoshizi to exchange them for money and send someone to send them to the house." ”

Lao Zhangtou smiled and waved his hand, even if it was promised.

Yun Jia invited Feng Ying and Xiao Chu to get into the carriage he brought, but the rest of the Shu Mountain thieves were taken in another direction by another little guy.

Xiao Chu doesn't care where the thieves of Shu Mountain go, anyway, there will be no mistakes when they come here, it's those valuable goods......

"Brother Yun Shi is here?"

"Zhang Bingzhong wants to borrow Lantian County, but my young master doesn't agree, no, he will take someone to Phoenix Mountain, count the days, and he should come back in the next two days."

Xiao Chu took the opportunity to interject: "Why did Chang'an County also become Lantian County? ”

Yun Jia said with a smile: "If my young master feels the need, Shuzhong will also be called Lantian County!" ”
