In the cold weather, Liu Yuan was only wearing a single piece of patch-packed clothes, carrying two bags of salt on his shoulders, and weighing about 200 kilograms on his shoulders. He seemed to have no feeling. He carried it lightly from the side of the carriage to the side of the boat, and boarded the boat along the springboard, clasped the two bags of salt neatly, walked up to the bow of the boat, and got two bamboo sticks from a tent clasp that wrapped himself in a ball behind the small table, and took two steps down the springboard again.

There were about a dozen people carrying the bags with Liu Yuan. The salt bags of several carriages were quickly loaded onto the ship. Liu Yuan also had about twenty bamboo sticks in his hand. He received about two hundred cents in the ball tent, strapped them with a rope, and then put them on his shoulders, and walked back swaying.

The public security here is good. In broad daylight, basically no one robbed him. Of course, when it was late at night, there were still people robbing him who hang money skewers on him. However, after Liu Yuan beaten him into a pig's head, no one in this area would mess with him again.

On the edge of the dock, there is a pancake stall. The little boss is a woman with a big waist, round waist and a squid face, not much thinner than Liu Yuan. She is like a pestle on her fingers, but she is extremely flexible. A ball of sticky mixed noodles rolls onto the thin stone slab. After a while, a thin piece of mixed noodles becomes shaped and is wrapped in some thin vegetables and meat. Of course, most of the workers on the dock cannot afford good meat, and more of them are animal offals. However, the fat women wash it clean and taste good. More importantly, there are many things they hold, so it is extremely popular in this piece of dock. Five cents per day, and in a day, it earns more than the big men who carry the bag.

Liu Yuan counted five cents from the rope and took a pancake from the fat woman. When the fat woman handed it to him, he stuffed a large piece of fat into it like lightning.

"Ge Cai, don't make any decisions on me, we are not suitable!" Liu Yuantu took a bite, his mouth full of oil.

The fat woman Ge Cai turned her eyelids and pulled out a fire tong from the edge of the stove. As soon as she swung it, Liu Yuan had already run far away. The copper coins on her body collided and jingled.

After leaving the pier and passing through the wide street, we turned into an alley. Compared with the grand and beautiful streets and tall and spacious houses that we just passed, this alley is like another world.

Small doors were opened in the cramped alley, and sewage flowed in the alley, and every household heard the sound of chickens and dogs. Liu Yuan shook his arms and walked through the alley, and from time to time, people greeted him loudly.

He is well-known here.

The main reason is that after he came here, ordinary gangsters didn't dare to come here and go wild.

I walked back to my hut, took off my shorts, took out a bucket of clean water, poured it off my head, and then walked back to the room with a slam and closed the door.

After wiping away the water stains on his body, he threw himself heavily onto the bed. After lying for a while, he got up again, dragged a big bag out from under the bed, and carefully opened it. Inside, there was a set of iron armor, a horizontal knife, a crossbow machine, and more than ten crossbow arrows.

The room was very wet. Almost every seven or eight or ten days, Liu Yuan would drag these guys out and take care of them carefully, always keeping them in the best state.

Always prepare!

But I have the will to go through fire and water, and I will never refuse.

Liu Yuan silently said a few words in his heart, wrapped the well-maintained guys carefully, stuffed them under the bed, closed his eyes and calmed down.

In a daze, a familiar whistle suddenly sounded in his ears. Liu Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, but the whistle disappeared again. In the past two years, such whistle has sounded in his ears countless times, but whenever he wakes up, he finds it’s just a dream. He smiled bitterly, but it’s still a dream.

The whistle sounded again.

Liu Yuan jumped up from the bed with a hush.

It's not a dream, it's true!

The whistle really rang.

He took a few deep breaths before calming himself down. He leaned over, pulled the package out from under the bed, carried it on his shoulder, pushed the door open, and walked out.

Not far away, Qin Chaizi, who was slaughtering a pig in the alley, walked out, carrying a package exactly the same as Liu Yuan on his shoulder. The two met, were stunned, but then they both laughed. They stretched out their fists, touched each other three times, and walked side by side.

They have known each other for a long time, but they don’t know each other. It turns out that they are from the same place.

When I walked out of this remote and poor alley, I had already carried such a package of more than a dozen.

They are all familiar strangers.

They walked up the wide avenue and walked on the main street of Yangzhou.

The strange whistle sound was sometimes blew away on the main street. With the whistle, the waiter, who was serving the dishes on the table, put the dishes in his hand on the table. As the shopkeeper was dumbfounded, the waiter pulled out a package from the counter, carried it on his shoulder, and strode to the hotel.

The peddler who was pushing a cart selling mountain goods, took out a package from the bottom of the cart and carried it on his shoulder. He didn't want the cart anymore and walked forward strode forward.

Continue to move forward, the master in a blacksmith shop dropped the hammer in his hand, took out a package from the debris in the corner, carried it on his shoulder, and walked out of the shop.

In a coffin shop, the boss and his friend took out two packages from a coffin and walked out of the coffin shop.

Above the pier, a whistle was ringing.

On the Huahang, which was slowly offshore, sailors who were struggling with the pole on the bow of the boat leaned over and pulled a board under their feet, dragged a package out of it and carried it on their shoulders, then inserted the pole into the water, and then swayed like a big bird and jumped from the boat to the dock, and then left in a daze.

The most annoying constable on the pier walked into the small wooden house where he usually rested, carried a package, and strode away.

A tax collector was checking the goods on a merchant ship. After hearing the whistle, he threw down the tax pen in his hand, turned around and went ashore, walked to the tax room, dragged out a package, carried it on his shoulder, and left without looking back.

Ge Cai, who had a big waist and a round waist, heard the whistle. At this moment, the pockmarked sensation seemed to be shining. He dragged a large package from under the stove and carried it on his shoulders, and took a big step.

Everyone gathered together, smiled at each other, and then walked forward with great strides.

These people all have one goal, that is, to be in Shenglong Money House in the center of Yangzhou City.

Qin Xinming stood like a javelin, looking at the people carrying packages coming in through the side door. More and more people walked in in the huge yard, and then stood upright like Qin Xinming.

There was still a person standing beside Qin Xinming. This person was the confidant of Mei Jiu, the governor of Yangzhou, and Su Bao, who was responsible for military affairs in Yangzhou, staring at more and more people in amazement.

He was born as a soldier, so he could naturally see the special features of the people gathered here.

The key is that he knew many of the people inside, such as Ge Cai, the fat woman who sold pancakes on the dock, Ma Qing, who was responsible for public security on the dock, and of course, Liu Yuan, who liked to hang money on her body, and the waiter who often went to that restaurant for dinner, and the waiter who served food was the people in front of him.

At that time, he had never noticed the abnormality of these people, but at this moment, all of these people seemed to have changed. Whenever they stood, a sense of iron blood naturally emanated from these people.

Qin Xinming took a deep breath, took a step forward, took out a list from his body, and shouted: "The Tang Dynasty's inner guard, Zhaowu's captain Ge Cai."

The fat woman Ge Cai took off the line and shouted: "Ge Cai, come!"

Liu Yuan took a breath, Grandma, this woman is actually Captain Zhaowu, one level higher than himself.

"There are a total of 500 people gathered here in Yangzhou City, all led by you, and now you will name it!" Qin Xinming handed over the list in his hand to Ge Cai.

Ge Cai took the order, glanced at Liu Yuan, and a smile flashed by.

"Deputy Captain Zhaowu, Liu Yuan!"

"Come!" Liu Yuan felt a little tooth pain and took a step forward.

"Deputy Captain Zhaowu, Qin Cen!"

Qin Crazi took a step forward: "Come!"

"Captain Zhenwei, Ma Qing!"

The detective Ma Qing took a step forward and shouted: "Come!"

"I am the official of the First Battalion of Yangzhou. You three are the chief of the First Battalion. Now, you three are each named the soldiers of our team!" Ge Cai gave the order in his hand to each of the three.

"Abide by the order!"

Su Bao was already a little dull.

Qin Xinming smiled and turned to look at him, saying, "Su Biejia, we have arranged six soldiers like this in Yangzhou. They are distributed in various places in Yangzhou. Now, they are gathering. A total of three thousand people will gather in Yangzhou within ten days. At the same time, there are still two thousand people who are gathering in Yangzhou through water. They are from the Zuo Xiaowei of Pinglu."

Su Bao looked at Qin Xinming blankly: "Shopkeeper Qin, who are you?"

"Let me get to know Qin Xinming, the inner guard of the Tang Dynasty, but Su Bianjia, I can't fight, I really only plan to do business and do accounts." Qin Xinming said with a smile.

"Are you prepared these people for Yangzhou? I wonder who will command them?" Su Bao asked in a trembling voice.
