Ruoxian is the county seat, is a very prosperous city, in and out, the flow of people is very large, and trade is more frequent.

Especially in the past few days, the New Year's atmosphere is gradually coming, the war is also calmed down, Wei does not seem to have the intention of starting the war again, most of the war has been delayed in the past, so the businessmen are full of energy, all kinds of tricks to attract passers-by, at a glance, the streets on both sides are colorful, very festive.

Yang Yi looked carefully, this is also the city she will rule in the future, as a county town, it is indeed extraordinary, with high city walls, solid defenses, and a lively city, of course, compared to Mianzhu, although prosperity is better, but all aspects of the city are not as good as Mianzhu at this time.

There are soldiers guarding the city gate, and everyone who enters the city needs to pay some fees, but even so, there are still many vendors entering the city, which makes Yang Yi a little admired.

Come to think of it, it won't be long before Mianzhu City can have such prosperity.

There is no doubt about it, Mianzhu is the capital, Yang Yi also bothered to build, and he also laid out a formation, waiting for the real construction to be completed, and its power can really be displayed.

As soon as you enter the city, the sound of shouting will pour into your ears like a tide, and all you can see is a lively and prosperous scene.

In addition to merchants and ordinary passers-by who bought and sold miscellaneous goods, there were also soldiers patrolling the streets, and some rich children who were dressed more ornately than ordinary people.

In the county, everywhere is full of lights, people who travel far away, when it comes to the New Year's Festival, they also rush back, usually not deserted streets, more and more people are surging, these smart merchants, have taken advantage of this time, launched their own store objects, using various ways, to let the people on the street be attracted in, therefore, at this time of year, will be the most lively time in the county.

Although Yang Yi came to Luo County for the first time, she had seen the world after all, so she was only a little surprised at the beginning of such a prosperous scene, and soon regained her calm.

The same piece of sky, but the weather is different, dozens of miles away, over Mianzhu City, at this time began to fall snow and rain.

The cold time in Shu is short, and this is also the coldest season.

There was an open space in the barracks, Zhang Muzhi was dressed in a short suit at this time, holding a long knife, jumping and flipping, and was doing penance, although the weather was cold, but although he was wearing a thin outfit, the top of his head was still steaming.

In the open space, two people came at some point, and they were watching.

After Zhang Muzhi practiced the sword technique more than a dozen times, he found out about their arrival.

"Rokuro, Shichiro, when are you coming over?" Zhang Muzhi put the long knife on the weapon rack on the side at this time, took a dry towel, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then came over and asked.

"When I first arrived, I saw you practicing knives, so I didn't call you." At this time, Zhang Liulang said that their Zhang clan could be regarded as boarding the broken ship of the Han Dynasty, and they could only be on the doorstep.

This is also an opportunity, if the Han Dynasty is revived, their Zhang clan will also prosper, reaching a height that their ancestors have not imagined for generations, of course, the sacrifice during this period is also great, this is also a necessary sacrifice, and no one will be afraid.

"Fourth brother, your skills are much more agile than before, it seems that I have to practice more." Zhang Qilang said ashamedly at this time.

Seeing that the fourth brother is already very strong, but he is still working hard to improve his strength, this makes him feel very remorseful, and their brother can have the opportunity now, it is the time to hold it hard.

"Don't call me the fourth brother, this is in the army, call me a general...... Hey, the army doesn't pay attention to human feelings, and now we brothers will all go to the battlefield in the future, and this martial arts can't be practiced! "When it comes to military law, several people have a shadow in their hearts, you must know that when the military law was implemented before, the clansmen who grew up together, although they were not brothers of the same clan, but they were also clansmen within five generations of the Zhang family, but they were killed on the spot for violating military law, and they were hung for three days, which made these people shake a lot.

Of course, there is hardly hatred in this, but there is still fear, and the majesty of military law also makes those who are born in the mountains and wilderness suddenly understand.

"Liulang Qilang, if you have time, you can learn more from those instructors, I found that although their kung fu is a bit miscellaneous, they are very suitable for fighting on the battlefield, I turned around and asked them privately if they were willing to teach us a set of superficial and practical kung fu, but if the instructor feels embarrassed, then forget it, and then we will figure it out ourselves." Zhang Muzhi patted his brother's shoulder at this time and said: "You remember, the leaders of the sect are all veterans, and they all have one hand, so have a good relationship with them and learn a few more hands." ”

"Got it, fourth brother, no, general." The two of them said.

"General, the first batch of people to go back for the New Year are about to return, I wonder when we are going to go home?" Zhang Qilang suddenly asked.

Zhang Muzhi thought for a moment at this time, and then said and thought of the past two days: "Then two days later, arrange for a few people to return home together, but I can't." ”

Zhang Muzhi naturally knows very well that their status is maintained on their own alone, although there are many brothers, but there are few qualified, so he must fight.

It is very difficult to maintain his current position, how dare he rest, there are many people staring at his position.

"I'm not going back." Zhang Liulang suddenly said, seeing that both of them were puzzled, and said: "Yesterday, I heard that the army is going to build a medical officer, and I think it's an opportunity." ”

There are four classes of medical officers, apprentices, casual doctors, adult doctors, and senior doctors, and their grades are the same as those of officials, which is very attractive.

"When I was in the army, I always felt struggling, and my brothers also knew that I had studied medicine since I was a child, so I had a foundation...... If I succeeded, I might have been transferred from the army to the medical officer's office. Zhang Liulang said.

"Go to the doctor, okay!" Zhang Muzhi nodded immediately, he originally wanted to give his brothers a future.

are all in the army, and it is not a long-term solution, although the medical officer is not the right way, but it is also a stable way, if he can become a great doctor, it is no worse than a general.

"What about you?" Zhang Muzhi looked at Qilang and said, "You have to go home this time, so that your parents can also see what you look like now." ”

"Fourth brother, sixth brother, of course, I'm still a long time now!" Zhang Qilang nodded at this time and said indifferently.

Ruxian County

After hundreds of miles of road, there is no rain or snow here, but the sky is still gloomy, but it has not delayed the prosperity of the city.

In an inn in the city, there is a lantern hanging in front of the door, which reads: 100-year-old shop.

At this time, at night, the hotel lit up the lights, brought hot water to wash the feet and faces of the guests, the guys were busy, Yang Yi lived in the upper room, and someone sent to wait.

"Childe, dinner is here." A guy came with a food box.

The table was cleaned and brought up.

There are not many dishes, a plate of palace fried chicken, a plate of fried bean sprouts, a plate of shredded pork with green peppers, a plate of carp, and a bowl of chicken soup, plus steamed buns and rice, and a pot of wine, Yang Yicai ate a few bites, and couldn't help but praise and said: "Okay, the time-honored brand really deserves its reputation, this taste is really good!" ”

In Mianzhu, Yang Yi naturally has a cook, and her waitress is good at it, but the taste is a little worse than this time-honored brand.

The guy helped serve the food, and when he heard this, he said: "Gongzi Mingjian, if you don't have some real ability to open a store, how can you open it for such a long time, wait for a small shop, three years and five years will be gone, and then it will be ten years and eight years, my store is a famous family in Jingzhou, since that year with Liu Gong into Sichuan, settled here, has been passed down for five generations, can stand, rely on real skills, rely on the guest officials!" ”

When he was about to eat, the door opened, and Yan Shou came in.

This guy is smart, as soon as he saw this, he said to Yang Yi: "Childe use it first, just tell me if you want anything!" ”

With that, he went out with the used water.

"Childe, someone found out."

Naturally, it is not only for the purpose of joining forces, but also to search for talents, and there is a person here, Yang Yi learned the news and came to visit.

"Sit, eat together, you haven't had dinner yet, ask the soldiers outside to eat by themselves, you can eat together, we still have something to do after eating."

At this time, Lin Linglai filled in the dishes and chopsticks and divided the meal.

"Yes, Childe." Although there are no outsiders, he is still very cautious, but although he divides the meal, he also abides by the rules, and just makes a move, but he doesn't really eat.

"Childe, Wei Qiu works in a trading house, and we found it."

"How's it going?"

"This business house is a time-honored business house, Wei Qiu works hard in it, it is three dollars of silver per month, this money is enough in the countryside, life in the city is tight, and the address of his home has also been found, it is in the alley, and it is easy to find."

"Well, you're doing a good job." Yang Yi sped up his eating, even so, after dinner, it was already completely dark.

At this time, another bright moon gradually rose, and through the sparse shadows of the trees outside the courtyard, the soft moonlight like a light veil sprinkled down.

Yang Yi put on his robe and said, "Let's go, don't wait for the curfew, then it's troublesome." ”

Yang Yi didn't plan to reveal his identity, so he would do things first at this time and observe the city.

Originally, there would normally be no curfew, but at this time it was wartime, and there was usually a curfew when the time came, and there would be inspections and even the army outside, and Yang Yi didn't want to get into trouble.

"Childe, do you want to bring a few more people?"

"No need, they've been busy for a day, let them rest, besides, let's go see a Lifu, with you here, are you still afraid of danger?" Yang Yi said indifferently.

"Yes, Childe!" Yang Yi went out, the street outside was noisy, sometimes mixed with cheers, only to see that there were people on the street playing and playing tricks, Yang Yi glanced at it, and continued to step forward.

It didn't take long for me to arrive at a house, but I was screaming.

A group of people in the courtyard didn't know what they were arguing about, Yang Yi frowned and said, "Look what's going on?" ”

"Childe, I'll go take a look first." Gan Hou agreed, and only then went in, and saw several people pulling a strong man, this strong man just pushed, and the person who pulled him fell to the ground, but the man who fell to the ground didn't know what to say, so he didn't dare to start.

Then the men besieged them, and their fists and feet were combined, but the strong man did not resist.

"This is Wei Qiu?" Yang Yi shouted.

"Childe, it's him!"

At this moment, I saw this strong man laugh fiercely and said: "You owe me a total of one hundred taels of silver now, if you don't pay it back, I will beat you to death today!" ”

"If you don't want to die, sell your mother-in-law!" There was another person in the back.

"Forcing people to sell their wives, who are you, too vicious, right?" At this moment, a voice came from behind.

"Vicious?" This Zhuang Khan smiled fiercely, turned around, and said hello, those who were beating Wei Qiu rushed forward without saying anything.

"Don't kill it." Yang Yi said.

Strictly Shou responded at this time, stepped forward to beat, only to hear the "crackling" sound endlessly, these five or six men, as soon as they went up, they were knocked to the ground, and Yan Shou's hands were extremely heavy, and there was a sound of broken bones from time to time, and the screams were endless.

"You dare to hit us, do you know who my master is?" The strong man screamed and shouted unwillingly.

"Throw it out!" Seeing that Yan Shou led people to throw these people out, Yang Yi went down the stairs and said, reaching out to help out the person who fell on the ground, and at this time, a woman jumped out of the house, crying: "Husband." ”

"It's okay, go inside and talk, this benefactor, please come in." The man was also calm, and wiped his nosebleed.

When they got inside, there was a light, and both of them were on.

Wei Qiu's eyes lit up, and he saw Yang Yi dressed in a green shirt, his face could only be said to be delicate, but his eyes were dark, and he looked forward to shining between words, naturally with majesty, and there were pro-soldiers behind him.

Wei Qiu knew that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person.

And Yang Yi looked up, first of all, the woman next to Wei Qiu, who looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, although she was wearing a coarse cloth dress, she had a charm that could not be concealed, followed by two children, a boy and a girl, both about seven or eight years old, timidly pulling the corners of their mother's clothes.

This woman is so beautiful, no wonder someone wants to force him to sell his wife.

"This benefactor, this son, thank you for your rescue." Before Wei Qiu could speak, he was waved by Yang Yi: "Wei Qiu, don't say much superfluous, this time I am here for you." ”

"I have something to do in Mianzhu now, lack of manpower, I heard about your ability, I want to invite you to go, first to be the head of the sect, and then I will talk about other things when I have merit."

Wei Qiu didn't say a word at first, glanced at the house, wiped his nosebleed again, and said, "Don't you want to ask what happened just now?" ”

"What is there to ask about this, is it nothing more than rogue means, owed money, or offended people, or something else, what does this have to do with us? If you go with me, it doesn't matter what kind of backstage they are, they won't chase Mianzhu to collect debts, right? ”

"If there are grievances and unwillingness in it, it's time for you to come out, and it's not too late to go back and clean them up."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Qiu nodded, and he responded: "Okay!" ”

"Well, now you can pack up your things, only bring soft and clothes, don't bring anything else, go to the hotel with me first, and go out of the city with us early tomorrow morning, save some trouble." Yang Yi said, took out two gold jades and said, "I don't have much silver on my body, use it first, and then increase it when I go back." ”

"Tomorrow at the dock, we already have a boat, as soon as we open the city gate, we will leave!"

At this time, under Yang Yi's attention, he found something extremely important.
