Chapter sixty-ninth, tell the truth, walk cautiously at night

"Zheng Ding" wants to make a fortune, "Yu Ding" wants to make a living, and there are more and more "Zheng Ding" and "Yu Ding". One side wants to make greater fortune, and the other side wants to protect their own wealth and make a living. Then there are only a few ways to make money on the ground of Datong. People on the ground of Datong are all military personnel of the Weishu, so the conflicts become more and more intense and the fights are more and more.

Qin Xiucai and Zhu Da spoke very carefully. Zhu Da not only listened unilaterally, raised questions from time to time, and even discussed with Qin Chuan. The two of them chatted and walked with great interest.

Qin Qin on her back had already heard it and fell asleep. The two guards and Zhou Qingyun were not interested in this. They followed him slowly after falling behind for a distance. The two knights even had the time to let Zhou Qingyun shoot a shot and see.

Zhou Qingyun did not refuse in a stage fright. Zhang Gong hit the target that was designated more than twenty steps away, which made the two shout. The two were originally teasing to tease the child, so they set a nearby target. They shot steadily without thinking. The two were surprised and amazed.

The noisy behind him woke Qin Qin, which also made Zhu Da and Qin Xiucai look back. Before setting off, Zhou Qingyun wanted to leave the bow and arrow for Xiang Boy, but was scolded by Xiang Bo, saying that after practicing for a few years, wouldn’t it be abandoned? However, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both knew that if Xiang Bo had a set of bow and arrows, the situation would be very different whether it was hunting to improve his life or defend himself.

However, on the way out of the Zhu family today, Zhu Da and Qin Xiucai mentioned this matter. A good bow is a big deal for Xiang Bo, and it is simple to Qin Xiucai. It is nothing more than just telling someone to send it over.

"...You will know about Shengping Salt Stack sooner or later, and you will tell you later. What I said just now is actually a bit simpler. There are many internal stories about the various battles in Datong Zuowei, and it is not just Zheng Ding and Yu Ding..."

Of course he knew this Zhu Da, but the conversation just now gave him a lot of gains, and he could have a clearer understanding and more understanding. This is what he needs most now.

The six people walked slowly and slowly. When they were tired, they got on their horses and rode for a while. When they encountered a village, they tried to avoid it. When they reached the official road, the sun was already in the west horizon. There were not many pedestrians on the official road, and most of them were in a hurry. Knowing that at this time, the three riders and six people began to accelerate and run quickly.

From the moment I woke up today, I was either busy or chatting. At this time, I hugged the waist of the rider in front of me, and I had the opportunity to think quietly.

From yesterday to now, Zhu Da and the people around him first felt that Qin Xiucai valued him, so he improved the specifications in all aspects, as formal and solemn as possible, being valued by others, or being valued by people who have a much higher status than him. This is of course very good, but for Zhu Da, who is equivalent to an adult, he felt that Qin Xiucai's approach was frivolous. Although Zhu Da and the people around him were all given face and introspection, from a higher level, scholar Qin Chuan was too much like the style on the stage.

To be speculated, it seems that a scholar has read too many legendary stories and wants to copy them in reality, but the effect in the story is fictional. In real life, it will only make the parties involved feel false and make the bystanders feel like a joke.

The benefits are the benefits. If you want to bind yourself to such an ideal storyteller in the future, it will be a blessing or a disaster, so people will not be sure of it and you must consider it solemnly.

However, Qin Xiucai has proved himself to this young man under thirty, all smart and without any scattering. The reason why he took the initiative to come to Baibao Village to collect Zhu Da as a kid was because the floating corpse he had picked up proved Zhu Da’s rhetoric. This young man was indeed outstanding and worth betting.

This grand ceremony of bride-taking and bride-taking ceremony was a guise for rushing to attack Majiadian Inn. With the force of gathering the salt stack, the opponent will not have any doubts or defense. This can achieve the best effect of the surprise attack, and this must be the case.

But such a complete plan does not mean that Qin Xiucai is worth relying on. He is too smart and cold-blooded to plot, and there is no love in it. The two sides have been together for less than twenty hours now. To put it bluntly, it is still the degree of meeting by chance. Everything you can see in front of you can be used in a heart-wrenching way. You have to see what you will do in the future.

After thinking about this, Zhu Da finally reminded himself not to be careless and to be cautious. He was also smiling bitterly in his heart. After having experiences and memories from those years, he could not live too easily and freely. If he was really a heartless boy, it was actually not good. He would not think about anything at all when he encountered such a situation, only simple happiness.

It was already a little late, and fewer people were on the official road. Three riders kept jogging. Qin Xiucai's riding was protected by two knights, and he had already explained to Zhu Da and the others in advance that if there was a surprise attack, the two boys would not care about the others, dismount and hide or escape first, do not interfere in the battle, and do not stop.

At this time of this season, the wind was already quite cold, and the knights on the horse were running in the wind, which was even more cold, but Qin Xiucai did not relax at all.

Zhu Da next to him saw all this. The scholar Qin Chuan was a scholar. He looked thin but had no literary popularity. His riding skills were quite good. According to Zhu Da's speculation, although Qin Xiucai acted like a Fang Zhengshi, he should know some martial arts, not a character without any power.

After dealing with the horse-riding guards in the salt stack several times, Zhu Da had a certain understanding of riding horses. According to what they said, in addition to the critical moments on the battlefield and the delivery of military newspapers, try not to ride on the horse for a long time when riding horses and give the horses as much as possible, otherwise it is likely to get tired of the horses and get sick, or even lose their hoofs halfway.

When talking about this, I also sighed that there are shortages of horses in the Ming Dynasty, so if there are horses, you must make full use of them. The Mongolian tribes on the grassland are another type. They only need to change horses halfway through the running, so that they can ensure the speed of their journey and not make the mount too tired.

But the three riders had no intention of rest when they ran. They passed two roadside inns with lanterns in a row without stopping. The horses were already sweating. Now each horse was carrying two people at the moment. Qin Xiucai's daughter's weight was negligible. No matter how thin Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were, they could not be said to be light. Could it be that it was for safety and not to leak the news and the horses were ignored? This mount was not cheap.

After running for about a moment, Zhu Da's conclusion was overturned. He saw an inn in front. He thought he would pass by like the previous ones, but he saw the knight on his riding shouting. He actually slowed down and looked like he was about to stop and rest. But he looked sideways. The inn in front was dilapidated and old, with dim lights. There were a few people standing squatting in front of the door, which didn't look very authentic.

The three of them stopped at a distance of more than twenty steps from the inn. The one where Qin Xiucai and Zhou Qingyun were not dismounted. The knight where Zhu Da was dismounted and ran over quickly. At this time, Qin Xiucai covered himself with his face and only showed his eyes. This was the standard dress of a knight who rushed to the road in the cold weather. The "swagging clothes" behind him were also covered with cloth.

Not long after, the people in front of the inn were shouted back. After a while, someone carried the bucket and led the big basket to the side. The bucket was filled with water, some were filled with horse materials, and the big basket was filled with hay, and the people were hurriedly turned back and didn't dare to look at it.

When everyone there went back to the inn, they started to get off the horse and feed the horse for the mount to rest. The inn only provided water for the mount. The six of them just drank some water from the gourd and water bags. It was already cold and it was not comfortable to enter. Qin Xiucai gave Qin Qin a snack. When he wanted to give Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, neither of them wanted it. First, he could bear the hunger, and second, he had no appetite in this tense atmosphere.

After a brief rest here, the three of them got on their horses again. There was a man guarding them in front of the inn gate. The gate of the inn was also closed at this time. After the three riders ran over for a long time, Zhu Da looked back and saw that the person was released.

This should be the stronghold or alliance of the Shengping Salt Stack. Here you can requisition or request supplies and rest with peace of mind. As for those who have not stayed, I guess they cannot be at ease.

"We have six people and three riders. If we go to a wild shop that we are worried about, it is too easy to be regarded as a fat sheep. If we call a dozen men, they dare to take action. There are also people who use medicine in the water. I didn't understand these tricks either, so it was taught by a friend from Brother Xu." Qin Xiucai explained with a smile. At this time, horses who had just eaten ingredients and drank water should not run too fast, and they would speak calmly, so they would not get drunk with wind.

When Zhu Da talked with Qin Xiucai, the two guard knights looked very curious, but Zhu Da couldn't see it. However, the reason for the curiosity Zhu Da and the others could guess was that the conversation between the two did not look like the adoptive father and the adopted son at all, but seemed to be a peer-to-people friend.

It would be fine if the biological father and son were closed and casually. The adopted father and son should be solemn and polite to each other. Moreover, Qin Xiucai was too much better than the poor boy in Baibao Village when he became aware of his status and wealth. Even if the young man who spoke calmly did something to change his favor, he should be respectful in such a high-spirited situation. But this person did not have the slightest awareness of this aspect, so he was not afraid that this rare opportunity to turn over would fly again?

However, these two knights also admired this young man very much. There were many people who could talk to Qin Xiucai on the Shengping Salt Stack. Mr. Qin was kind and polite to others. Perhaps not many people talked to him. He could not keep up with Mr. Qin's ideas, could not understand, or he said it too simply, Qin Xiucai could understand it immediately.

However, this young man was able to talk and communicate calmly, and the words he said and asked sounded similar to what Qin Xiucai said. From this perspective, this young man Zhu Da had the capital to discuss the same generation as Mr. Qin.

After it got dark, I jogged on the road with the bright moonlight for more than an hour and could see the lights flashing in front of me. Zhu Da had an impression of this place, but it was at the ferry that I passed a few days ago.
