Xie Shi is a CD person, good at word measurement and fortune telling, and Yang Zhi met in the restaurant, and the two often correspond. There was no one in the Bu Pavilion, Xie Shi was sitting alone on a chair, reading a book, and when he saw Yang Zhi coming in, he teased: "Why don't you go to the Beishanzi Tea Shop next door to drink tea, there are fairy caves, fairy bridges, and there is an endless stream of ladies, and there are all those who taste tea all night, which is much stronger than me here." ”

Yang Zhi sat down opposite Xie Shi, reached out to pick up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Then don't spend money, I just came out of prison now, and my life is difficult, so I can save it." ”

Xie Shi was dressed in a green shirt, with a white face and thick eyebrows, and five willows with long hair, after listening to Yang Zhi's words, he sneered and said: "Didn't Gao Yu reward you with fifty taels of silver last night, and besides, you were just dismissed, and you can still ask for the salary owed to you in the army." ”

Xie Shi saw Yang Zhi's intention at a glance, after eating the dragon, it was impossible for Yang Zhi to enter the army again, the Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, and the identity of a martial artist was almost useless among the people; Yang Zhi drank a cup of tea, leaned back in a chair and said, "I'll take care of your business and help me test it, what will happen to me in the future?"

Xie Shi said lightly: "Ten taels of silver is a test, you can write a word." ”

Yang Zhi saw the jade wrench in Xie Shi's hand, and wrote the word "jade" with a pen, Xie Shi stared at it for a while and said: "Jade has the same sound as the rain that rains, indicating that the sky will soon rain down, which is a good omen; To tell you the truth, the blue spots on your forehead are invisible, in physiognomy, you are transformed, you become a different person, you don't have a forehead tattoo, you are lucky, it is said that there are often noble people, and your mind is pure, but you?"

Yang Zhi has been an official, has been in the rivers and lakes, has been in prison, and has experienced life and death, such a person wants to say that his mind is pure, Xie Shi is really a little indescribable; Yang Zhi took out a piece of snowflake silver of ten taels, put it on the table of the word measurement, did not say a word, and fell into deep thought. Xie Shi added water to Yang Zhi, brought out two plates of dim sum, and buried his head in reading his book; Yang Zhi thought for a long time before he came to his senses and asked, "Are you planning to go back to the CD?"

When Yang Zhi pondered, Xie Shi had assumed many questions, but he didn't expect Yang Zhi to ask himself first, and there was a warm current in his heart, and he nodded. There are too many outsiders who come to the capital to seek a way out, but there are very few people who can get ahead, and no one pays attention to it for a long time, which is also a setback for Xie Shi, so Xie Shi did consider leaving Kaifeng for two years, just to avoid the chaotic situation. Yang Zhi categorically vetoed: "You can't go back, only in Tokyo, you have a chance." ”

Xie Shi smiled: "I don't have a chance, now only those who jump into the quagmire have a chance, which is different from my ideal." ”

Yang Zhi also smiled: "Why did you come from the CD, that is, the CD can't meet your ideals, in the Great Song Dynasty, only Tokyo can satisfy you, the iron-mouthed god, the prince of cloth." I just thought about it, to do some business, first do some horse business, and find a way to sell horses from Liao and Western Xia. ”

The Great Song Dynasty lacked horses, and the imperial court encouraged the heroes of the Central Plains to go to Liao and Xixia to steal horses, and the government stipulated that as long as the horses were sold to the government and the army, regardless of the origin, in terms of actual payment, war horses with foreign brands were also valuable; Yang Zhi knew horses, and his martial arts were strong, and he was really the embryo of this business. Xie Shi immediately guessed what Yang Zhi meant, nodded and said, "Who told me to earn you ten taels of silver, if you have made up your mind, I will stay in Bianliang and help you get along with the horses, and when you are not in Bianliang, help you take care of the horses." ”

Yang Zhi just remembered that Xie Shi would not only meet people, but also horses, so he said this; seeing Xie Shi agree, Yang Zhi also felt a burst of warmth, although it was two down-and-out people hugging together to keep warm, but Xie Shi was the first friend confirmed by Yang Zhi after crossing. The two looked at each other and smiled, Xie Shi got up and closed the door of the store, and came to the Zhuanglou Horse Market on Yanglou Street with Yang Zhi.

Zhuang Lou is a restaurant, but it is not the kind of restaurant that receives literati and elegant guests, Zhuang Lou is the most down-to-earth restaurant in Bianliang City, at first glance, the façade of the three-storey building is like a restaurant in a small town outside the city, there is no luxury at all;

There are quite a few peddlers sitting in the shop, and the baskets and other things are resting beside them, they should be tired, come in and buy a bowl of wine to relieve their fatigue, and eat some cheap meals to fill their stomachs by the way; the most are all kinds of strong men, at a glance you know that they are buyers and sellers in the horse market outside the building, drinking wine and eating meat in large bowls, even talking loudly, arguing like quarrels.

Yang Zhi and Xie Shi are somewhat famous in Bianliang, and as soon as they enter the Zhuang Building, someone on the second floor is shouting: "Yang Zhi, Xie Shi, come up." ”

The two looked up and saw that it was a steward of Xinmen Tile, called Hua Zixu; Wazi is the common name of the tile, the place where the Kaifeng funky people gathered, and the Xinmen tile is considered a large tile among more than 50 tiles in Bianliang, and the scale is only second only to the Sangjia tile, Hua Zixu is responsible for procurement, and Yang Zhi and Xie Shi are generally friends who can come and go.

Yang Zhi and the two walked up to the second floor, and there was an old man sitting opposite Hua Zixu, with a burly figure, blue eyes and yellow beard, and a beard over his belly; behind the old man stood a big man, born with red hair and yellow beard, thin and thick, with a pair of eyes that were surprisingly large. Hua Zixu introduced to the two and said: "This is the boss of Huangfu Duan Huangfu from BJ, specializing in porcelain business, the boss of Huangfu was originally from Liao, and he only settled in BJ in the name of business a few years ago. ”

Huangfu said with a smile on his face: "Since the two of you are friends of Hua Zixu, they are my friends, please take a seat." ”

Hua Zi called out to the man to fill in two pairs of chopsticks and said: "Boss Huangfu, this is Xie Shi, fortune telling is very accurate, this is the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, do you know about eating the dragon a while ago, Brother Yang is the only one who survived, that is ability." ”

Yang Zhi was suspicious in his heart, such a coincidence, could it really be fate, he met Huangfu Duan when he went out; Hearing Hua Zi's nonsense, Yang Zhi waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, that's a strange snake." ”

Huangfu's face froze, and he looked at Yang Zhi carefully and said, "Fortunately, fortunately." In the summer and April of the first year of Jin Yonghe, a black dragon and a white dragon were seen in Longshan, Murong Hao led the ministers to watch, only more than 200 steps away from the dragon, the two dragons circled and frolicked, and went west; Murong Hao thought that he was ordered by the sky, so he built the Longxiang Buddhist Temple in Longshan, named the newly built palace and Dragon Palace, and Longcheng was the capital of Qianyan, Houyan and Beiyan for a hundred years. Yang Daxia can see the strange snake, which is also a deep blessing. ”
