Chapter 100 The Golden Cone Walk (11)

The process of "going up the mountain", or "entering the cave" was extremely smooth. Although the shop of the chef Fan in the Jiagu market was arrogant, one could guess at a glance that it was a connection, and he originally wanted to use this route, but this cook It was indeed too thorough, but it made Zhang Xing and Qin Bao secretly vigilant.

However, along the way, he gradually relaxed his vigilance.

Without him, although the terrain along the way is dangerous, and there are obvious facilities such as fences and suspension bridges, almost everyone seen along the way is decadent. It is not that there are no capable people, but they all come and go in a hurry, and no one pays attention to these things.

It can be seen that the gathering of a large number of bandits in a short period of time caused some low-intensity humanitarian disasters to occur in this area, thus destroying part of the order here to a certain extent... This is for Zhang Xing and Qin Baolai who have the intention of fishing in troubled waters. Said, of course, is hugely good news.

But at the same time, an absurd fact is that despite the serious Yang Shen Rebellion at the beginning of this year and the defeat of the Second Expedition to Dongyi with huge losses, none of these obviously destroyed the order of the nearby government, nor did they cause a shortage of autumn harvests.

In other words, a few dozen miles away from this den of thieves, there is a scene of peace and prosperity... The prosperity of the Metasequoia forest is vivid, and the fleet slowly moving on the Huan River is also full of food, money and treasures.

If you think about it this way, it seems to prove the superiority of the rule of the Wei court.

However, not to mention Zhang Xing, even Qin Bao knows how these people got here—they were victims of military disasters in Yang Shen’s chaos, and then lost their family property because the court was unwilling to rescue them, and then They were driven over by the imperial court and gathered here.

"Master Cao is kind-hearted, and he doesn't see poor people around." Zhang Xing walked all the way into the Immortal Cave, thinking about what he saw along the way, and finally couldn't help but tell a joke. "So let the servants drive away the poor. In the end, the poor were driven out of their homes and became beggars in the Chenghuang Temple in the south of the city..."

Qin Bao, who was carrying a big iron gun, obviously understood, but he lowered his head and didn't say a word.

That Cook Fan didn't know if he understood the meaning, and obviously snorted twice.

"That person is Boss Zhang."

After walking around the cave for a few more times and turning to a location, I suddenly became cheerful, but I saw a large open cave in the distance, and there was a sky cave in the middle where the sun was shining directly. There were twenty or thirty strong men sitting around some wine and dinner, and Cook Fan also pointed to the leader from a distance. "The cultivation base of the ten main channels... There are seven or eight practitioners under my command, ten or twenty strong, all here, and there are four or five hundred idlers... Let me say first, if you cause trouble, you'd better wait for me to go If you insist on holding me up forcibly, I may not help you."

Zhang Xing stopped for a while, squinted his eyes to look, and sure enough, he saw that the leader was tall, and there was a leopard skin on the seat under his buttocks. He had a prominent position. He was eating wine, but he turned his head and looked at each other:
"Cook Fan, what is your cultivation level?"

"Me? I also built the foundation when I was young, and after about two or three pulses, I felt that it was hard work, and it was of no use, so I changed my career to be a cook." Fan Chef replied sullenly in front, and then asked again . "Master Zhang, what do you mean by asking this? Do you think I'm going to catch you?"

"Five taels of silver, I will stop the two confidantes of Boss Zhang for me later." Zhang Xing said casually. "Five taels of silver for half a quarter of an hour, there is no better business in the world..."

Cook Fan was stunned in front of him, and immediately turned his head.

"You asked the Great Master to come and stand for a quarter of an hour, and that's not the price?" Without waiting for the other party to come back to look, Zhang Xing immediately pushed the other party from behind. "With your fat body, if you don't stop people, wouldn't it be in vain?"

That cook Fan stomped his feet in front, and actually continued to move forward, while Zhang Xing only followed behind with his knife.

"Boss Zhang." After walking a few steps and approaching the cave, Cook Fan immediately paced and shouted. "How have you eaten recently?"

"Why is Da Fan here? You're asking, who eats well these days?" The so-called Boss Zhang asked while holding a wine glass. "It's a day to day, waiting for Boss Zhou to lead everyone to make a fortune...Who are these two people? Are they new here? Did you tell me my rules?"

"Speak." The fat cook approached and shouted. "He brought two horses and is willing to donate one to the boss as a certificate of honor..."

Rao Zhang Xing and Qin Er had already been mentally prepared and had other thoughts, so they couldn't help but look at each other at this time, and then cursed secretly in their hearts.

Of course, it was just cursing my mother secretly in my heart.

"I've met Boss Zhang!" Following Zhang Xingyi's mouth, Qin Bao greeted him first, with an authentic local accent and full of air. "Qin Er from Dengzhou Prefecture came to work!"

"I've met Boss Zhang." Before the echo of Qin Bao's greeting disappeared in the cave, Zhang Xingfu cupped his hands again. "Zhang San in the North, the old road of Xu Dalang in Caozhou, come to work!"

After the boss heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed: "Okay! Okay! Okay! The two brothers are so generous and strong, and they both understand their origins... Now that they are in the Immortal Cave, they are naturally my brothers... ...Come all over, come all over, eat and drink together! Da Fan won't entertain, you sit at home!"

Qin Bao and Zhang Xing looked at each other again, speechless to the extreme—is this the bandit chief who commands seven practitioners and hundreds of men?
Even if you don't expect to be as brilliant as Du Pozhen and Chen Ling, nor as capable as Qian Tang and Li Qingchen, but this state is really unacceptable... How come the origin is innocent?Have you seen Xu Dalang from Caozhou?Give you a horse and do that?
You want to talk about pretending... In the state of Mangdang Mountain, two new recruits are suddenly brought in by acquaintances, who is he pretending to show?

This person is probably just like this, but Cook Fan is a real shrewd person who has been going around the market in Jiaguli all the year round.

Walking to the front, Qin Baoyuan put down the iron gun, and then the three of them moved a stone each honestly, and added a seat at the end of the table, which again attracted a lot of applause... I don't know what applause there is.

Then, first, Cook Fan muttered some nonsense about the scene, and then Qin Bao talked about his origin, family background, and cultivation level, including his apprenticeship in the subordinate counties of Dengzhou.

Zhang Xing took the opportunity to watch with cold eyes. He had seen it clearly earlier. After Qin Bao threw out the approximate origins one by one, the local accent immediately made most of the people at the scene relaxed. Cultivated people even began to take the initiative to make out.

What's more, after Qin Bao lowered one and said that he has seven righteous channels, instead of asking Qin Bao to adjust his seat, the boss Zhang became obviously uncomfortable-this is a very good sign, this is a good sign. The servants are not only awkward, but I'm afraid they don't have the capacity to accommodate others.

Of course, some emotions are natural, but to be the boss, you need to have these, isn't it a dead end?
After Qin Bao finished speaking, the atmosphere gradually improved. Although the boss Zhang was uncomfortable, he still sat still and only looked at Zhang Xing with his eyes, ready to take a look at this person's background.

Zhang Xing was also straightforward. After drinking a glass of wine, he directly cupped his hands: "Boy Zhang Xing, he is the third in the family... He was born in the north, joined the army in his early years, and escaped during the second expedition to Dongyi."

At this point, the boss Zhang became more and more uncomfortable, but the other person in the seat cupped his hands instead: "Which army is the third brother Zhang from?"

"The vanguard of the middle base army in the fifth army on the North Road." Zhang Xing proudly cupped his hands.

"The brothers in the Fifth Army are all skilled, not comparable to our Xuzhou Army on the South Road." The man was surprised when he heard this, and immediately gave a thumbs up. "It's just that the road to the north is so difficult. It is said that everyone died. How capable and lucky are the three brothers Zhang? How did they escape?"

Zhang Xing glanced clearly, the man said this, although Boss Zhang at the far end did not speak, he was almost on pins and needles, but he just pretended not to see it, but continued to say:

"There are always a few who slip through the net. I escaped a few brothers, and they all settled down in Dengzhou. Only I escaped to the village of Qin Erlang's family and was taken in by him, so I survived... Then I went to vote. Xu Dalang, who is very famous in Caozhou, stayed for a few days, and when he came across a saying in Xu Dalang's village, he unexpectedly became a Jing'an Taigong."

After saying this, the meeting suddenly became quiet, and even Cook Fan was also stunned on the spot.

Zhang Xing just pretended not to know, but slowly lowered the embroidered knife in his waist, and put it in front of his eyes: "Look, brothers, this is the clear proof... No one dares to fake the standard saber in Jing'antai."

No one responded.

But Zhang Xing laughed again, and took the knife back: "Brothers, you can take in those who have been soldiers, but can't you take in those who have been Jing'antai Jiejiehu? Besides, I am a Jiejiehu in Xiapi. Taking care of Huan Shuishang's business with Zuo Sanye, and now he is no longer doing it..."

"Brother scared us to death." Everyone was relieved after hearing this, and the expert who was born in the army shook his head repeatedly. "I just said that your demeanor has the appearance of a soldier, but it has a different smell... So you made a fortune with Third Master Zuo!"

"It's just the third brother Zhang, if he can make a fortune with the third master Zuo in Xiapi, he will stay there for a long time. Why leave that tiger skin and come to us?" At this time, the boss Zhang finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhang Xing shook his head again and again, then stood up and cupped his hands solemnly: "Because I want to make a fortune!"

"Thinking too much!" Boss Zhang quickly waved his hand. "Poor jingle here."

As he said that, the boss really quickly picked up a spoon and knocked on the stone slab in front of him, and it made a clanging sound, which made everyone laugh.

Zhang Xing waited for everyone to finish laughing before laughing again: "Boss, I came up from Huan Shui to see the reality of the fleet. I came here just to make a fortune."

Everyone became more and more stunned, and Boss Zhang finally said embarrassingly: "I knew that it was all for the floating fortune a few years ago, and it was you, a half-caretaker, who moved your mind... It is said that there are dozens of grains in the fleet. Wanshi and Qianbo also have tens of thousands of guan, right?"

"No." Zhang Xing still stood where he was, but shook his head again and again, and he smiled calmly when everyone was surprised. "There is not so much food, about 10,000+ shi, but more money and silk...about a million guan."

I don't know how many times it was quiet under the sky cave of Xianren Cave.

"Brother, don't be kidding..." Someone was breathing heavily.

"Why am I bluffing you brothers?" Zhang Xing bowed his hands to this person without hesitation. "If there are only a few tens of thousands of guns, and there are a group of master guards from Jing'an Terrace, and they are only placed in a few large boats, we can't even touch them. We only touch a pile of grain, how can I abandon Xiapijing Street? Tiger's profit market, come here to make a fortune? I don't believe that you brothers are like idlers outside, just coming here for a little food!"

The man nodded quickly.

And Zhang Xingfu looked at Boss Zhang again, and continued to clasp his hands: "Boss, I came here with a lot of inside information this time... I want to dedicate a huge amount of wealth to Boss!"

Boss Zhang was taken aback for a moment, but he waved his hands again and again.

Zhang Xing was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Why is the boss waving his hand?"

"How can I enjoy this kind of wealth?" The boss continued to wave his hand.

"Then brother should finish speaking according to the rules." Zhang Xing was speechless for a moment. "Boss will make a decision... Otherwise, if you don't say anything else, who knows if the other brothers here want it?"

After saying this, Boss Zhang wanted to talk about it. The soldier, two people from the Eastern Region, and Cook Fan yelled together. Boss Zhang had no choice but to wave his hands: "Just tell me."

"It's like this." Zhang Xing answered with cupped hands. "Have you ever thought about it? Why is Qiuliang just escorted, and now he is here to transport the grain, and there are Jinyigou elite escorts from Jing'antai, the eastern capital? Don't you guys know that the famous Yitian sword is also in it?"

Of course you don't know, but without delay Boss Zhang sighed: "Didn't Boss Lou say that the seven counties in Jiangdong are short of food, and they need to make up for the spring plan?"

Zhang Xing and Qin Bao were both startled, the latter didn't mention it, but the former nodded immediately: "That's right! But this time the fleet met in two incidents, and people who weren't from Jing'an Station didn't know the inside story... On the one hand, Supplementary food, on the other hand, Jing'antai was ordered to go south to coerce the eight major families in the south of the Yangtze River, and asked the eight major families to donate gold and silver, and send them to Dongdu to be used by today's saints to repair gold pillars! In other words, there is not so much food, but the money is more than expected want more!"

The crowd became more and more surprised, but there was a sudden commotion. They discussed among themselves, but they obviously could vaguely match some numbers, so that they talked more and more, and the more they talked, the more chaotic.

Only Boss Zhang was even more unhappy, he just slapped the slate to calm everyone down, and then he wanted to speak.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing took the first step and continued to speak loudly: "If it's just like this, I won't come... But Boss Zhang, the current situation is that the Jinyi inspector Yitianjian who escorted the boat is not just a big name. She also knows that some of us are going to do business here, but she secretly separated the millions of gold and silk from the food, and planned to use the fleet as bait to secretly send away the million gold and silk on land..."

Hearing this, Boss Zhang wanted to speak, but unexpectedly, there had been a lot of chatter around the stone slab, so he had no choice but to clap the slate again.

After the filming, the boss finally came to ask: "If this is the case, why did you come?"

"Because the brothers know the land route they took privately, and also know the approximate date." Zhang Xing replied sincerely, took advantage of the situation, turned out of his seat, came to the side, and walked directly in front of the other party. "This is the only piece of important news. I have given up my official status to honor the boss... As long as this wealth is robbed, it will be wealth that our brothers can't spend in ten lifetimes!"

Around the slate table, I don't know how many times it buzzed, and Boss Zhang finally got angry, but he yelled: "Shut your mouth!"

After saying this, the quiet was quiet, and quite a few people became impatient and angry, but they didn't want to act on the spot, they just turned to the side, causing Qin Bao who was sitting and Zhang Xing who was standing to wink at each other.

"Brother Zhang San." The boss Zhang took a breath and said seriously. "You can't argue with the truth of this news..."

"I even threw away my official career, so the boss is suspicious of me?" Zhang Xing made a face immediately, but threw the saber to the ground in public, and walked up to question with empty hands. "So, wouldn't it chill the heart of a hero?"

"I'm not suspicious of you." Boss Zhang saw that the other party came up empty-handed and felt that the other party was a man of the law, so he had no choice but to explain. "It's because your business is too big. Whether it's true or false, or whether it's about profit, I can't bear it. You see, this is good. I have a small hole here and can't accommodate you, so I will send you to Boss Zhou... He's in charge."

Zhang Xing only waited for the other party to finish speaking, and then came to sneer: "In this way, the boss has nothing to do, let alone make money from our brothers for nothing?"

Just as Boss Zhang was about to reply, Zhang Xing suddenly stepped forward, taking advantage of the other party's presence, and held the other party's hands.

Of course the people present were surprised, so several people wanted to get up to check and stop him.

But at this time, Qin Bao over there also suddenly got up, swept away the basins in front of him, splashed many people, and then pointed at Boss Zhang who was holding his hand directly opposite him: "You man, It’s been a long time since I’ve been unhappy... Brother Zhang San and I have a cultivation base of [-] and [-], but instead of praising us after hearing this, you only let our brother sit at the end. Is there any reason for this? Now you want to lie to our horse?! Such an attitude, what kind of boss? How can you be the master of the fairy cave?"

As he said that, he only turned his head and jumped, and easily took the big iron gun in his hand.

Everyone here is from Jianghu, seeing the situation is not good, they each dodge, some of them have to get weapons, Fan Chef got up quickly, ran to hug two of them, and then turned around to persuade Qin Bao:

"Qin Erlang has something to say, although Boss Zhang has no courage, don't get angry over it!"

Besides, long before that, Zhang Xing had already stepped forward and used his true qi to hold Boss Zhang's hand... Boss Zhang was frightened and angry, and he didn't dare to neglect, regardless of Qin Erlang's scolding, he hurriedly used the sea of ​​energy to compete with all his might Infuriating, but I don’t know why, even though I still have ten righteous channels, I can’t suppress the opponent. Instead, I feel that the cold true energy in the opponent’s hands is constantly surging, like lakes, seas and rivers. Measurement.

But unexpectedly at a disadvantage.

There were 30 people present, making a mess. Looking back at this moment, they saw Qin Bao wielding a big iron gun, unstoppable, but he was just threatening those who were holding weapons; Competing with each other's true qi, it seems that each is struggling, and it is impossible to tell the winner... Many people have a bit of hesitation.

At the same time, Chef Fan left the two of them early, and hugged the other two again. He continued to persuade: "Don't fight, don't fight, it's just the matter of Zhang Boss and Zhang Laosan's family, we outsiders Don't die for nothing."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Bao strode over suddenly, and then swung his big gun, piercing the heart of the person who had just been thrown down by Cook Fan but still wanted to go to rescue him, and then smashed it on the big stone slab , then pulled out the snatch, rushed to the front with the gun quickly, but didn't help, and didn't make a sound, just stood beside Zhang Xing, and looked at it with awe.

Cook Fan took the opportunity to drop his subordinates, but no one dared to move.

Almost everyone was watching the true spirit competition between the two beside the leopard skin.

And gradually, everyone could see clearly that the old man was overwhelmed and his face turned pale. In the end, he was desperate to speak, but his voice was hoarse.

Everyone could hear clearly, but they were asking: "Where are my confidants? Why don't you come and save me?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xing noticed that the opponent's hand was gradually lacking in true energy to respond, and finally heaved a sigh, but he calmly pulled out a hand, then grabbed the opponent's hair in a bun, channeled enough true energy, and slapped hard on the stone slab .

With just one slap, the owner of the Immortal Cave's entire head was glued to the board.

Then, Zhang Xing, feeling a rush of heat, withdrew calmly, picked up his knife in front of dozens of strong and nervous eyes, and then turned around and slowly cut off the opponent's head. The head of a group calmly stepped on the leopard skin and asked:
"Everyone, this person is immoral and wants to stop the brothers from getting rich. Now Zhang San, Qin Er, and Fan Liu three people have annexed him in public. I don't know who has any dissatisfaction? If not, let him I, Mr. Zhang, will be the boss of this Immortal Cave, Qin Erlang will be the second leader, and Fan Liulang will be the third leader... The rest of them will only follow their practice, regardless of relatives and relatives, and they will make a fair fortune in the future... How about it? Is it possible? Is there anyone dissatisfied?"

The crowd was silent for a while, and there was a little commotion, but the Xuzhou soldier suddenly stepped forward and bowed down, calling him the great leader, and the rest of the people bowed down one after another regardless of the blood stains on the stone slab.

Calculating carefully, it turned out that Zhang San, who was outside, easily took away the foundation of this fairy cave with only one meal.

PS: Happy Chinese New Year everyone!Happy New Year to everyone!Sorry for being late, everyone!The main reason is that my sister and brother-in-law are here today... a little delayed for the Chinese New Year... good night everyone!
