Chapter 154 Gold in one hand and butcher knife in one hand ([-])

Lintao, known as Didao in ancient times, is an important place in the land of controlling Elongshu.

As early as the time of King Zhou An, that is, in 384 BC, Qin Xiangong eliminated Xirong, and established Di and Huan counties, which are the predecessors of today's Lintao.It can be said that the history of Lintao County is even longer than that of Longxi County.

During the reign of King Shao of Qin, he moved to the various tribes of Xirong.

After 700 years, most of the people who migrated back then were either assimilated or disappeared in the long river of history.

Around Lintao, there are still some descendants of ancient ancestors.

They herd according to Wushan, or cultivate according to the land, and established farm villages one by one.There are one or two hundred families in the big ones, and only seven or eight families in the small ones.These farmhouses are scattered around Lintao.With the gradual expansion of Dong's ranch, the large farms were basically absorbed, leaving only some very small farmhouses.

It was a sunny day, and Jia Xu sat very leisurely in a wine shop in a farm, drinking a sip of the farm's homemade wine, and eating a piece of the farm's homemade pickled soybeans.

The restaurant is not big and can accommodate up to eleven or twelve guests.

It is located three miles away from Lintao County, and there is still a long way to go to the pasture.

Jia Xu only loves the pickled soybeans here, which are soft but chewy.Although the color of the wine was cloudy, it was not too bright.

And the restaurant is very quiet, he can drink while thinking about things.

A few days ago, Jia Xu met Dong Pi.Later, I heard from Niu Fu that Dong Bi asked him about his situation in detail.

Jia Xu couldn't help being a little apprehensive, wondering why the young master was so interested in him?

Born in a poor family, although he was regarded as filial and honest, he couldn't adapt to the kind of struggle in Luoyang's officialdom.From Jia Xu's point of view, Luoyang City is full of people who eat vegetarian food, and there is no one who can achieve great things.

A few years ago, he saw the problem of Taiping Dao, and reminded the officials, but he was scolded bloody.

After coming and going again, Jia Xu was also chilled.

There will be chaos in the Central Plains, and I am afraid that they will be implicated at that time.

It's better to go home early, Wuwei is bitterly cold, but it is a quiet place.

Not long after returning to Wuwei, Jia Xu heard that someone was making a scene in the Northwest, and Han Wenyue, a famous scholar from Liangzhou, was in a state of distress.

It is said that the man was from the Dong family in Lintao.

It is said that the kid is quite strategic...

After the rebellion in the northwest subsided, Jia Xu made a special trip to the river valley, which is the location of the canyon where Dong Bi escaped.

He saw a line of big characters that Dong Bi left there back then: If I return to this place in his year, Jincheng will definitely turn into a sea of ​​blood!
Jia Xu couldn't help laughing, and became interested in this guy who many Qiang people call a troll.Later, when he came to Tao, he had to be attracted by Dong Pi.I really want to know, who is this troll?
It's a pity that when he came to Lintao, Dong Bi had already gone out to travel.

Jia Xu stayed in Lintao and became Niu Fu's chief bookkeeper.Niu Fu respected him very much, and he lived a fine life.

It wasn't until a few days ago that Jia Xu met the legendary Mr. You.

It's just that at first glance, I'm more curious.This young man looks very rude and straightforward, but Jia Xu has a feeling that he can't see through the other party.

With eyes closed, he chewed the soybeans, smacking the taste silently.

Suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes from a distance.Just in the northwest, Jia Xu is no stranger to this kind of voice.

It was immediately obvious that the cavalry had at least six to seventy people.

In broad daylight, who is galloping on the official road?

Jia Xu looked out of the restaurant curiously, and saw smoke billowing in the distance, and a group of black-armored cavalry running like lightning.

Just looking at the attire of the knight on horseback, Jia Xu vaguely guessed that it should be someone from the ranch.

Maybe it was to go to Lintao for business, so I didn't take it too seriously.Unexpectedly, the horse team stopped outside the restaurant, only to hear a voice with a strong southern accent: "The government is doing business, and the idlers leave immediately, leave!"

Before the words fell, a hundred troll warriors jumped off their horses.

There were originally two drinkers in the restaurant, they fled in panic.

The owner of the restaurant was an old couple, their faces turned pale with fright, they helped each other out of the restaurant, "Caomin has seen the official!"

They were born in Lintao, so they naturally knew the origin of this knight.

In their eyes, there is no difference between the old Dong's family and the government, but they don't know how this wine shop offended them?
The leader is a bull-riding man with red face and yellow hair.

A pole of barbed wire and thorns in his hand weighed about a hundred catties.

Seeing the old couple coming out, the savage was about to speak when he saw a person walking out from the cavalry.

"Old man, don't panic if I borrow your wine shop. Go to the ranch, relax, and you'll be fine when you come back!"

The man was nine feet three inches tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist.

It has a lion nose and a wide mouth, tied in a bun, a pair of thick and short broom eyebrows, and slender eyes, which always seem to be half-closed.

He was wearing a black brocade jacket, black leather sleeve armor, and a pair of cowhide boots.

It stands to reason that this man looks extremely ugly.But after seeing him, the old couple was not afraid anymore.

"Little old man has seen Mr. You!"

"Old man, I'm temporarily borrowing your wine shop. If you lose money, I will compensate you, Xiao Tie, and send the old man and the others to the pasture."

A horse sprang out of the horse team again, followed by an ox cart.

The old couple was really terrified, and really didn't know what happened.It's just that they also know that this young man has an ugly face and a kind heart.Although there are rumors that he kills people without blinking an eye, but he has never heard of him rampant outside.

In this case, even if the old couple is unwilling, they can only get on the bullock cart obediently.

A coachman drove away, and Dong Yu said, "Brother, third brother, follow me in... The others are guarding outside, and no one is allowed to approach. No one is allowed to come in without my order."

"Here!"

Hundreds of troll warriors responded in unison, and the momentum was extremely astonishing.

Dong Bi walked into the restaurant with Dian Wei and Sha Moke, and walked towards Jia Xu.

Jia Xu got up quickly, "Young master, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence!"

Dong Bi sat down, and Dian Wei and Sha Moke stood guard at the door.The fine eyes are wide open, shining with light that chills Jia Xu's heart.

"Unfortunately, I just found out that my husband likes to drink by himself here, so I took the liberty to disturb you, please forgive me."

Jia Xuguo is very human, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that he will be terrified.

After a moment of astonishment, he regained his composure.With a slight smile, he pushed the wine bowl over and got a glass of turbid wine.

"This wine is not bad. It can't compare to those famous wines in Luoyang City, but it has a special taste. Why don't you try it, young master?"

Dong Bi was also polite, took up the wine and drank it down, and then put it heavily on the case.

"I'm here for a special visit today, I must have guessed the clue."

Good guy, you really cut straight to the point and didn't make any mistakes at all.Jia Xu couldn't help laughing, picked up a pickled soybean, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a while, then sighed and said, "Young Master You are joking, but Xu is just a rotten scholar, how can you know what you are here for?"

"If you are a rotten Confucian, I am afraid that all Confucian scholars in the world will rot!"

Dong Bi's eyes were piercing, holding the case with both hands.He was already tall, so when he was propped up like this, it made people feel even more oppressed.

"I'm a martial artist, I don't know how to go around in circles. I want to ask Mr. to help me, may I know?"

A cold light flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and he said with a light smile, "Master, you are joking, isn't Xu working under your father's account now?"

"It's not my father, nor my brother-in-law. What I said is, please help me, sir."

After finishing speaking, Dong Bi yelled: "Come here, bring the things here!"

A carriage stopped in front of the wine shop, and two trolls came in carrying a heavy golden nanmu box and put it aside.

Dong Bi stretched out his hand, and Sha Moke put a six-foot machete in his hand.

Then it slammed on the table.

"Sir, what does this mean?"

Dong Bi gave Shamoke a wink, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen is very resourceful. When I came home two years ago, I met Di people. The rest of the people are ashamed. Mr. Wei said: I am Duan Gong." Nephew, if you let me go, then Paul and others will have nothing to worry about... The rest will die, and I will live for my husband... I deeply feel that my talents are shallow, so I want to ask my husband to help me."

While speaking, Shamoko opened the box.

Inside were pieces of gold cakes, the big ones weighed more than a dozen catties, and the small ones weighed one or two catties, shining brightly.

Jia Xu couldn't calm down a bit!
Not because of the gold, but because what Dong Bi said is true.

But this matter is not known to the public, and even his wife and children didn't say anything after returning home. How did this young master know about it?
Dong Bi pointed at the gold, "If the master agrees to help me, there are five hundred gold here, and it will belong to the master. The gentleman is unparalleled, so naturally he will not pay attention to this mere gold. It's just a fool, I don't know how to express my respect...Mr. I, should treat him as a teacher."

Jia Xu looked at Dong Bi in a daze, her heart was already in a mess.

Treating him as a teacher is the highest reward for a humble scholar.The ancients learned from their fathers, King Wu of Zhou treated Jiang Shang as his father, and established the foundation of the 800-year-old Zhou Dynasty; Duke Huan of Qi Xiaobai regarded Guan Zhong as his second father, creating a situation of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period.Now that Dong Bi actually said such a thing, it is possible that he wants to...

Suddenly shivering, Jia Xu looked around stealthily.

The wine shop has been surrounded by layers of trolls, with Dian Wei on one side and Samoko on the other, and Dong Chu sitting directly opposite.

It is impossible to escape!

Jia Xu hesitated for a moment, looked at Dong Bi, and said with a complicated expression, "What if I don't agree?"

"It's very simple. I have a knife here. If the husband refuses to agree, I will kill him with a knife. This is what it looks like."

As he said that, Qiang drew his knife out of its sheath, and Sen Han's machete pointed at Jia Xu, and placed it horizontally in front of Dong Pi.

"Please choose sir!"

Jia Xu couldn't help smiling wryly: What a refreshing person, refreshing...so refreshing that people have no other choice.

However, such decisiveness may really accomplish something great.

After pondering for a moment: "If Xu agrees, but later regrets it, isn't the young master afraid?"

Dong Bi laughed and said, "If I was afraid that my husband would go back on his word, I wouldn't be sitting here today. Mr. Wenhe, let me make it clear. A few days ago, I sent a strong team to Wuwei with my father's official seal. Do you know what they are going to do?"

"Shizier dare!"

Jia Xu was frightened and angry, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she looked directly at Dong Bi.

But Dong Bi was not afraid. Facing this person who was later called a poisonous man, it would be nonsense to say that he was not afraid.But he also knows that in the Three Kingdoms era, the master chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose the master.Although a person like Jia Xu is considered exhaustive, it cannot be said that he has no emotion.At this time, as long as he shows a little timidity, he can't restrain the other party.If you can't restrain him, you can't get his sincere service.Today's move, Dong Bi thought for a long time before making up his mind.

Jia Xu's hands were trembling slightly, it could be seen that he was very angry.

But what about anger?
He can tell the Di people that he is Duan Gong, that is, Duan Ying's nephew, because Duan Ying has enough deterrent power to the Di people.

But the guy in front of him can be seen to be a ruthless person.

If he doesn't agree, he can say it and do it, even if he is really the emperor, he will kill him with a knife.

Yes, no?

It's a life and death choice.

Moreover, this is no longer the life and death of Jia Xu alone, but also concerns his family, his two sons.

Dong Bi is like a stone Buddha, sitting there motionless.Ximei narrowed her eyes again, as if falling asleep.

The hand holding the knife is full of veins.

He quietly waited for Jia Xu's answer, while Dian Wei and Sha Moke remained silent.

"How do you want me to help you?"

"Keep my family safe..."

"that is it?"

"If I can't even keep my family members, how can I talk about bullshit?"

Jia Xu was stunned, and suddenly burst out laughing after a while, "Master, you are joking. Your father, Dong Dongdong, is now in the limelight, and his sunrise and appearance are just around the corner. Who dares to touch your family, who dares to touch your edge? Master, this is not unfounded worry." ?”

"People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries. Don't lie to me, sir. If you say that you don't see the benefits and harms, it is a lie. I have heard: born in sorrow and die in peace. If you don't plan ahead, there will be great disasters in the future. When the time comes, what should we do?"

Born in sorrow, died in peace...

After Jia Xu muttered silently for a few times, she fell silent again.

The restaurant is very quiet, so quiet that even the sound of heartbeat can be heard.

After about a stick of incense, Dong Bi stood up with a knife in his hand, "It's time, sir, I haven't spoken for a long time, and I understand your choice... Sorry, I really don't want to kill him, but I can't let him die." Wings for others."

He raised his hand high and raised the machete, and slashed at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was taken aback, and thought: This guy is really decisive, he will kill if he says so!

Seeing the sound of the knife hanging in the wind, Jia Xu no longer dared to be silent, could no longer pretend to be any longer, and shouted loudly: "Stop!"

The machete stopped on top of Jia Xu's head, only one finger away from the blade.

The sharp cold air penetrated into the body from the top of the head.Jia Xu was really scared this time, damn it, this guy is really killer!
"What else can you say, sir?" Dong Bi was expressionless.

He took a long breath and felt his back was soaked.Jia Xu looked at Dong Bi, smiled wryly and said, "If you only want to protect your family, why do you have to force yourself so much?"

"I said, if you can't protect your family, what are you talking about? Today, I just ask you to help me protect my family. As for the future, we will talk about it later."

Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and she heard some meaning from Dong Bi's words.

He stretched out his hand and gently pushed the machete away.

"It's still the same sentence, how can you be sure that I will not retaliate against you in the future? Today, you are intimidating and begging Xu to protect your family. Maybe in the future, Xu will turn around and take revenge, causing the entire family of you to die."

Dong Bi looked at Jia Xu, "Sir, you are a lowly scholar, and you are a son of a good family. You and I are from bad backgrounds. Only by helping each other can we achieve great things. Although there are many heroes in the world, let me ask, who can make me better except for you?" Master shows his talents without any scruples? Since you dare to do this today, you are not afraid of your master's revenge. If you repeat yourself in the future, even if you are thousands of miles away, you will not let you go... If you destroy my family, you will also let you The family is broken and the people are dead. People respect me a foot, and I respect others. The truth is as simple as that, I have already said what should be said, next, please tell me the answer, sir."

These words speak loudly.

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a big laugh, and bowed to the ground.

"My lord, please be honored!"

------------------

Jia Xu: I have surrendered, can I give a few monthly tickets as salary first?

Dong Bi: The landlord's family has no food left... Readers, please borrow some monthly tickets first, otherwise Lao Jia will run away again...
