Chapter 459 Good News, The Strange Man in the Deep Mountains (Part [-])
At this time, shopkeeper Liu of the shop was painting umbrella paintings in the back hall.

Hearing calling him, shopkeeper Liu immediately put down his paintbrush, stepped out to greet him, and said with a smile, "It's Officer Zhao, please sit down."

Zhao Shicheng presented the gift and said with a smile, "I know you like to collect pens, so I specially brought you a Huzhou pen from my fiancée's hometown."

A set of six pens, ranging from wolf hairs to the smallest pens for tracing strokes, are neatly placed in the box.

Huzhou pens are famous all over the world. They are well-made and expensive. A good pen costs more than a penny.

Shopkeeper Liu accepted it overjoyed, but still said modestly, "Officer Zhao, you are being polite. They belong to neighbors, so you don't have to be polite."

Then, he invited Zhao Shicheng to the back hall for tea.

Zhao Shicheng waved his hand and said, "I'm here to give shopkeeper Liu a pen, and secondly, I want to ask shopkeeper Liu, is the inscription on the pair of jade ruyis that Liu Sheng sent just now carved by the calabash layman?"

Shopkeeper Liu nodded, "That's right, it's exactly what he engraved. But, Mr. Zhao, is there something wrong?"

Zhao Shicheng was overjoyed, "There's nothing wrong, I want to know where he is? Shopkeeper Liu, do you know where he lives now?"

Shopkeeper Liu became curious, "Officer Zhao, although he carves jade well, he has a weird temper. What does Officer Zhao ask him for?"

"I have some knowledge to ask him, do you know where he is?" Zhao Shicheng asked hastily.

For Shopkeeper Liu, Layman Hulu is a strange person. For him, Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng, as long as they have good riding and shooting skills and a bad temper, what does it matter?
Zhao Cong is currently in need of a riding and shooting master to teach the 100 people horse tactics.

Tactics on horseback, in addition to fighting horse weapons and martial arts, they also fight riding and shooting.

Shopkeeper Liu saw Zhao Shicheng's questioning, and said, "It's easy to find. It's on Chenghuang Mountain. You can find him when you see the foxes running in and out of the place in groups. However, those foxes must not be hunted or killed. Those are the sons of the gourd layman. If he finds out that someone dares to hunt and kill his fox son, he will take revenge."

Zhao Shicheng said, "Thank you for reminding me, I'm just going to ask him for help, I won't abuse his fox."

Because there was an urgent matter, Zhao Shicheng and shopkeeper Liu only chatted a few gossips, then left the fan shop in a hurry, and went to the medical clinic to find Luo Cheng, Li Jiaoniang and the others.

He was really lucky today. By accident, he found a noble person who could help him and Zhao Cong.

When Zhao Shicheng came to the medical center, Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng were drawing pictures and discussing how to reclaim the barren hills.

At this time, they heard someone shouting at the door of the hospital, "Luo Cheng? Luo Cheng? I have good news for you!"

Xiang Erbao stepped forward and said with a smile, "Cheng Enbo is here? Please come in, please come in."

Chun Ya was busy pouring tea.

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng stood up together.

"It's Officer Zhao?" Li Jiaoniang asked with a smile, "What's the good news?"

Zhao Shicheng had a happy expression on his face, and he walked with wind, and he was completely different from the way he was seen in the past.

As the old saying goes, people are happy and refreshed.

Get promoted, get rich and marry a charming wife|Wife, in life, what else can make people happy like these few things?
But they were all caught up by Zhao Shicheng.

If Logan gave him another child, his life would be perfect.

Luo Cheng smiled, nodded to him, moved the chair, and asked him to sit down.

Zhao Shicheng sat down, glanced at the two of them, and asked, "A cavalry and archery team of 100 people, do you have any plans on how to train?"

Luo Cheng said, "Currently we don't lack horses, only manpower. We have arranged to find people a few days ago."

"Who trained them in horseback riding and archery?" Zhao Shicheng asked.

Luo Cheng frowned, "I can barely do it."

Li Jiaoniang said, "I know how to shoot arrows, and we will train those 100 people together, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Zhao Shicheng said again, "But you still have to take care of the business of the medical clinic, you need to raise the five thousand shi of grain, and the one hundred thousand guan of money, can you handle it? By the way, I heard that you still have to open up barren mountains, Help the Prince of Pu'an to take care of Zhuangzi? There are so many things..."

Luo Cheng frowned, "It's true that we are too busy, but this is the only way to go. Because we don't have enough manpower."

Li Jiaoniang's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a smile, "Officer Zhao, when you entered the room just now, you said there was good news. Is this good news good news for us to solve our shortage of manpower?"

Luo Cheng's eyes lit up, and he also looked at Zhao Shicheng.

Zhao Shicheng smiled slightly, "Exactly, I found out about a strange person, he must be helpful to you."

Li Jiaoniang hurriedly asked, "What strange person?"

Zhao Shicheng said, "His name is Ximen Fei. More than 20 years ago, when the Jin soldiers marched southward, he stood on the gate tower of Jinzhou, drew a bow and shot arrows, and killed more than a hundred Jin soldiers a day."

"..."

"One man and one rider once broke into the Jin camp and burned the other's granary. It made the Jin people famous, and was even offered a reward of [-] by the Marshal of the Jin Kingdom to capture him."

"..."

"I found out his whereabouts. He lives in seclusion on the Chenghuang Mountain outside the north gate of Lin'an City. If you invite him out of the mountain, within a hundred days, he will be able to train a powerful cavalry and archery team. With him Help train the cavalry and archery team, and you can free up your hands to do other things."

Luo Cheng's brows and eyes stretched, "This man is so powerful."

Li Jiaoniang said, "How old is he?"

"You should be in your forties." Zhao Shicheng said.

Li Jiaoniang narrowed her eyes, "Such a powerful person is not very old, why should he live in seclusion? If he doesn't want to be an official, he should be the owner of a villa, and it would be good to accept some followers to live a happy life."

Zhao Shicheng sighed, "Didn't the Jinren offer a reward of [-] guan back then for his head? A traitor in the court colluded with the Jinren and captured him. When he escaped, he was seriously injured and almost died."

"..."

"Later, he went to Lin'an City to request that the traitor be severely punished, but... the traitor has been at ease all the time. He left disappointed and disappeared. Unexpectedly, Ximen Fei lived in the suburbs of Yuezhou."

"The traitor who colluded with the Jin people?" Li Jiaoniang's eyes flashed slightly, and she chuckled, "Officer Zhao, who is that traitor?"

The person who can make Gao Zong dare not be shaken, is that the one?
Zhao Shicheng looked sullen, "Who else could it be? A person with high authority in the court."

"Is it Qin Hui, the current Prime Minister of Qin?" Li Jiaoniang narrowed her eyes.

Zhao Shicheng didn't speak, but picked up the teacup and drank the tea with a gloomy expression.

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng looked at each other and smiled, "Officer Zhao doesn't speak, so I'll just assume I guessed right."

"Back then, the court was negotiating peace, and Qin Hui was the person in charge. How could the officials punish him?" Zhao Shicheng chuckled lightly with a mocking expression.

Luo Cheng's eyes darkened, "From this point of view, he may not necessarily help Cong'er."

Li Jiaoniang said, "Our Cong'er and the Guan family are not alone, nor do they have the same idea. I will try to meet him. Maybe he will help?"

Zhao Shicheng also said, "He has opinions on the officials, not necessarily on other people. It's good to try to meet them, maybe he will help."

Li Jiaoniang said, "That's right, I haven't seen that person yet, it's too early to draw conclusions."

Luo Cheng looked at the sky, "It's already halfway through the afternoon, and it gets dark early in winter. I'm afraid it will be dark before we reach Chenghuang Mountain. Let's set off tomorrow morning, let's get ready today."

Zhao Shicheng said, "Although he is a martial artist, he is also a literati. He especially loves carving, such as jade carving, root carving, and stone carving. He loves carving to the point of obsession. Moreover, he loves raising foxes. On the Chenghuang Mountain, there are foxes that often run around. They are all raised by him, it is said that he loves them like a son, if you see a fox, don't kill it."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Thank you, Officer Zhao, for reminding me." She raised her sleeves and was about to pour tea for Zhao Shicheng, and she caught a glimpse of the fire fox fur cloak on her body, and said with a smile, "When I go to see him tomorrow, I will wear this dress as well." have to change."

Luo Cheng immediately said, "Jiaoniang, you are wearing a fox cloak. He will definitely say that you are wearing his son's fur, of course you can't wear it."

Zhao Shicheng said "Yeah", "That's right, that's right, don't wear fox fur clothes, it's better not to wear other animal fur clothes, you go up the mountain in cotton robes."

Li Jiaoniang smiled, "There are cotton robes and cloaks too, I'll look for them later."

But Luo Cheng didn't have a cotton cloak, and neither did Zhao Cong.

Fortunately, Zhao Shicheng reminded her, otherwise, if she went up the mountain with Luo Cheng and Zhao Cong tomorrow, she would probably be driven down the mountain by that weird person.

It was rare to see Zhao Shicheng, and he was Zhao Cong's distant relative and old friend. Luo Cheng asked Zhao Shicheng to have a drink with him in the tavern in front of him, and Zhao Shicheng agreed.

Luo Cheng called Zhao Cong and Shang Xiang Erbao, and the four men went to the opposite restaurant.

Li Jiaoniang asked Chun Ya to take care of the clinic, while she took Juan to the street to buy a cotton cloak in a carriage.

The wind was even stronger outside the city, and without a cloak to keep out the cold, my body couldn't bear it.

 The typo will be corrected tomorrow~
