The sturdy life of crossing

The best restaurant in this border town is Zuixianglou. Well, Jian Leyang thinks that this is the same as Pinxianglou in Canghe Town, with a very distinctive name.

Jian Le grandiosely asked for the first-class private room, and He Zengming walked in front first.

Xie Wenyi, who was following behind, has been silently watching Jian Leyang's every move, and found that no matter where he is, he is so at ease, without the restraint of coming to the northern border for the first time, maybe this is why others will not easily treat him The reason for the connection with the brother's identity, Xie Wenyi feels that he still has a lot to learn.

Jian Leyang also introduced Xie Wenyi's identity to He Zengming, and specially used the title of "Canghe Gang's leader's capable subordinate", which made He Zengming feel that Jian Leyang was really eclectic in employing people. Judging by Xie Wenyi's demeanor, it was obvious that he was well-educated. I don't know why I fell into such a situation, but He Zengming can see that Xie Wenyi has no complaints about staying with Jian Leyang, and his attitude is very positive. However, at this age, Jian Leyang keeps Xie Wenyi by his side, isn't he afraid of causing misunderstanding?

If He Zengming asked Jian Leyang this straightforwardly, Jian Leyang would definitely be dumbfounded. He hadn't thought about this question at all. If Xie Wenyi was a girl, maybe he would be more aware of the defense between men and women in this era Question, take the initiative to keep a certain distance, but Xie Wenyi is no different from him.

If Xie Wenyi had to answer, he would suddenly realize that Jian Leyang was a man in the eyes of outsiders at the moment, not Brother Feng, but because he knew Jian Leyang's identity, he didn't show the slightest discomfort when getting along with other men. Be careful.

Of course, He Zengming just had such a thought in his mind, and felt that it was a bit contrary. He, a martial arts practitioner, would not care about these things.

Jian Leyang asked He Zengming about the war situation in Jiacheng and the current development of the foreign race. Of course, he would not ask about military secrets, and he did not ask He Zengming if he had done business with the foreign race. Channels, which also made He Zengming very fond of him, and the more he talked with Jian Leyang, the more he devoted himself.

In fact, because of last year's disaster, the situation of the foreign people was not much better than that of the Daxing Dynasty, and because the nomads were more dependent on the grassland, after the successive droughts and winter snowstorms, the foreign people were only hit harder than the Daxing Dynasty.Under such circumstances, a large-scale foreign attack could not be organized. He Zengming also told Jian Leyang frankly that because the different tribes of Yi and Di were not unified, they were relieved in the border town.

It’s just that there hasn’t been a large-scale invasion, but the small-scale harassment has never stopped, especially because the foreign tribes have been severely affected by the disaster, so the small-scale confrontations are more than in previous years, and it is also because the weather is getting warmer now, and the foreigners have to hurry up It's time to graze livestock, so He Zengming and the soldiers have been able to relax recently.

When it comes to fighting and defending the city, Jian Leyang is not unfamiliar at all. He can reach the point of being a strong man in the last days. He does not know how many times he has participated in or even organized city defense battles and active attack battles. No matter how strong the theory is, he has never experienced actual combat. No, so He Zengming's eyes sparkled when he heard some words, and he wished he could have a long talk with Jian Leyang all night.

Xie Wenyi also looked at Jian Leyang in surprise, thinking that he was like an endless treasure house.

It was not until the end that the main purpose of Jian Leyang's visit was mentioned. He Zengming told Jian Leyang honestly: "Doing business with foreigners is too risky for Central Plains businessmen. It's not just about the loss of money and goods. Both people and wealth are lost, so the business in this Northland is almost in the hands of a few limited commercial firms, all of which have a long history behind them, even the Hua family of the imperial merchant, does not have much say here. Every time the family sells goods, they follow behind the army, and I think Master Le should be able to guess the twists and turns."

Jian Leyang nodded, presumably he would be able to connect with the army, and the Hua family and other merchants would also pay tribute to the military camp in this city. As for the other large commercial firms that control the business of the North Seven Lands, the background must be more complicated. To put it simply, it may be described as black and white, just think about the fact that the Qingyao Gang can transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the Yidi people.

Jian Leyang had guessed something before he came, so he came here in person without worry. He is not afraid of being blackmailed by others. If he dares to blackmail him, he will be blackmailed. In fact, since his rebirth, he has not let go of his hands and feet to fight with all his strength. Pass.

If he really wants to get ruthless, he himself is very afraid.

He Zengming still has a good impression of the Canghe Gang. During the floods in the south last year, someone sent a large amount of food to the south. Although it cannot be said that it was made by the Canghe Gang, it is definitely related to the Canghe Gang, so he is very happy Let Jian Leyang remind Jian Leyang of the doorway here. In fact, rather than letting those money fall into the pockets of unscrupulous businessmen, it is better to let organizations like the Canghe Gang earn it.

He Zengming dipped his finger in the tea and drew a rough outline of the border on the desktop, pointing out to Jian Leyang which are the important places for the transaction. If he wants to earn more money, the best way is to go deep into these places. Be on the safe side, the Hua family still has some channels. Besides, He Zengming reminded Jian Leyang that the most important thing is when they leave. Someone is waiting to attack them on the way they leave. In the border area, there may not be dozens or even hundreds of people who disappear. What a movement, the bloody brutality here is unimaginable in other places.

Jian Leyang kept in mind the points that He Zengming pointed out. He may not believe all of Zeng Ming, but it may be used as a reference. Zhang Meng and the others will also search around in the border town. Only by combining all kinds of information can Jian Leyang make the best decision. judgment.

"Thank you, Brother He." From Young Master He, to Master He Ganhu, and now to Brother He, Jian Leyang's transition was very easy and natural, "I would like to respect Brother He. For me, the most respectful person is you who are at the border. If there is any need in the future for the soldiers who killed the enemy and defended the country, please feel free to ask Brother He, Leyang and the Canghe Gang will definitely do our best within the capabilities of Leyang."

"Haha, I feel relieved when you say that, Brother Le. I wish Brother Le all the best." He Zengming could see that the word "respect" that Jian Leyang said came from the bottom of his heart, and he was moved by others' understanding. They only know that they are spat in the court, belittling their generals to nothing, who knows their hardships and sacrifices, but even the food and salaries they get have to be deducted layer by layer.

After the meal, Jian Leyang and He Zengming parted ways at the gate of Zuixiang Building, and after watching He Zengming leave, Jian Leyang took Xie Wenyi and swayed casually on the street.

The folk customs in the border towns are naturally much more open than those in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Not to mention the brothers, even the girls' families show up on the street, and no one shows anything unusual. The weak willow Fufeng is popular in the capital, and the girls and brothers here want to It is much stronger, and it is very exciting to talk and walk.

The people here are not only tall and tall, but some people also look slightly different from the people from the Central Plains. Xie Wenyi was very curious. Jian Leyang explained to him that these people should be descendants of mixed races with foreign races. They fight back and forth on the border. Today you come to snatch mine. Tomorrow, if you win the battle, you will rescue the robbed people. In addition, there have been cities in history that fell into the hands of foreigners and were recaptured after decades. Therefore, such descendants are inevitable.

"In this world, there are not only our Daxing people in the Central Plains and the Yidi people of the foreign race, but also many different races, with different skin colors, different heights, and great differences in facial features. The Arabs who invented those numbers have appeared before. The Kunlun slaves, as well as these nomads outside the Guan, there are many others that we have not seen." Jian Leyang said casually.

Xie Wenyi listened with gusto, he would not know these things unless he came out for a walk, this time he came out with Jian Leyang and it was an eye-opener.

Jian Leyang took Xie Wenyi to the place with the most people. Collisions and frictions between people were unavoidable. It was difficult for Xie Wenyi, who was born as a young master, to adapt, but he also found that following Jian Leyang was much quieter, so he resolutely stayed with Jian Leyang left stone.

Jian Leyang would buy whatever novelties he saw at roadside stalls, and handed most of them to Xie Wenyi, not treating him as a brother who needed to be taken care of at all.

"Get out of the way! The people in front get out of the way!"

There was a noise not far away, and the stream of people rushed here. Xie Wenyi, who was holding a lot of things in his hands, was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. Jian Leyang gently moved him to the side, and got out of the stream of people. For some reason, the people who wanted to squeeze towards them fell to the side for some reason. Although they did not fall down, the surroundings of the two people were obviously much more spacious, but at this moment, no one noticed this kind of strangeness. shape.

A horse was rushing forward, the horse neighed, and some passers-by screamed. The horse was obviously frightened and went crazy. The horse rushed over, and the vendors on the side of the road were knocked over before they could get out in time.

A sharper voice yelled, and a four or five-year-old child stood on the side of the road ignorantly, and screaming, it was a middle-aged woman who jumped at him, needless to say, the child's family, watching the crazy horse kick. About to kick the child, Xie Wenyi screamed uncontrollably, a murder seemed to be about to happen.

But at this critical juncture, an unknown object was suddenly shot from some direction, directly piercing the neck of Crazy Horse. The screaming of Crazy Horse stopped abruptly, and then collapsed to one side, splashing dust on the road. Countless, the crowd on the whole street fell into a dead silence for an instant, and then exploded like boiling water.

"Who? Who killed this young master's beloved horse? Quick! Find him!" A menacing young man ran up from behind and yelled at the people in military uniform.

So a group of people rushed towards the direction where the unknown object shot out. Just after the thrilling adventure, passers-by screamed in panic and panic. The chaos on this street is far from ending so soon.

But at this moment, Jian Leyang had already walked a long way with Xie Wenyi, and Xie Wenyi came out without even feeling it. He was in a trance, and only knew to follow Jian Leyang foolishly.

When I was a little more awake, recalling the situation just now, I couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Boss, it was you just now."

It must have been done by the boss just now. He thought he was going to watch the child's blood splash on the street, but suddenly the horse fell down, and then his eyes blurred, and the person was no longer in the original position, so after much deliberation, there is only one possibility , It was the boss who rescued the child. During his time in the Canghe Gang, he had heard of Jian Leyang's great martial arts, but he didn't have any real feelings. Only now did he realize that those statements were not exaggerated at all. He even It is unclear how the boss made the move, and whether the horse is still alive.

Jian Leyang was also carrying something in his hand, with a very relaxed expression, and smiled: "I lost it casually, and I didn't want to cause trouble, so I left early, let's go, let's go back, and see what Zhang Meng and the others have gained today." In fact, it's been a long time since he came out, and he already has a clear idea of ​​the general situation, and he has a plan for the next step.

Sure enough, only the boss can say so lightly.

Jian Leyang shook his head in his heart. Most of the soldiers at the border are good, but it is inevitable that moths will appear. Just now, the man who claimed to be my young master obviously has a lot of background in the army. It will be refracted to the border, which is not surprising.

The person in charge of Huajia Commercial Bank arranged a separate yard for them here. Half of the Canghe gang members who came out stayed on the boat, and most lived here. Jian Leyang and Xie Wenyi were the first batch of people who came back, and the others also took the opportunity This time I took a good look around. It is much cheaper to buy local items here than to go back, so I have to buy some things to go back.

There is a rule in the gang when leaving the ship. When there is enough cargo, everyone can carry a certain amount of items. This time, even if you use your own money to buy a few furs and sell them back, Jian Leyang will not say anything Yes, as long as you don't overdo it and stay within the rules.

When they came back from the outside, they were all very excited, obviously having a good time shopping.

"Boss, have you heard that something happened on the street!" Zhang Meng said excitedly when he came back, "I don't know who did it, and killed the beloved horse of the only son of the deputy general of the defense in one blow. I heard that It was the horse that was frightened and ran rampant in the street. It has already injured several people. If no one stopped it, it would probably kill people today. Kill the man he loves horses."

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect such bullying and domineering things to be found everywhere."

"Shhh, don't say these words, lest people hear us and sue us, we brought the mission here." Someone reminded, so the big guys shut up one by one, and talked about other excitement after a while thing.

No one asked if the boss was there or if he made a move. After all, they all knew that the boss had dinner and drinks with He Qianhu. They thought they didn’t have time to go shopping. Thinking of getting involved with the deputy general of the defense, he was determined not to tell them the truth.
