Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 364 How Do You Usually Do Things?

However, one day later, when Hu Qian was thinking about letting the spies lead the way to the old man's house, a soldier came over and told him that the spies escaped while the guards were not paying attention.

Hu Qian said angrily: "Arrest the guard and wait for his punishment!"

After that, everyone was strictly ordered to search around.

Fortunately, within an hour, Cao Zheng came in from outside the city and brought the spy over.

It turned out that he was about to come in to report the news, when he saw someone sneaking around the city gate, he stepped forward to question him, but the spy ran away immediately.

However, because of injuries on his body, he could not escape after all, and was arrested by Cao Zheng.

Hu Qian looked at the spies who were firmly trapped, and without saying much, he just waved his hands, and two soldiers flashed out from both sides, threw away the long sticks in their hands and started fighting.

The spy shouted like calling his father and mother, and said in his mouth, "Sir, stop beating, I will tell you everything..."

Hu Qian didn't ask people to stop at all, he kept beating him until he passed out, and then he stopped.

Afterwards, another soldier brought water and poured it on the spy, which made him jerk and woke up immediately.

"Fight again!"

Hu Qian waved his hand, just drank by himself, and didn't look at the spy at all.

The spy was so frightened that he struggled and said, "My lord, stop beating me, I'll say anything..."

Hu Qian just glanced at him, and if he beat him again, he would be killed. Then he waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.

"What is your name?"

"Du...Du Yan."

"What do you do in Mizhou City?"

"The villain is a Mizhou jailer."

"What are you doing in Qingzhou!"

"The villain's wife is in this city..."

"Who is your name! Where do you live!"

Du Yan knew that he couldn't hide, so he told the truth.

Hu Qian immediately ordered Wu Song to bring the woman over.

Seeing Du Yan, she was startled first, and remembered throwing herself on Du Yan and crying.

"My lord, spare him."

Hu Qian waved his hand and said, "Let him go back for a reunion, guard the four doors, and not allow him to step out of the house!"

Wu Song took the order and went.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Wu Yueniang and her daughters thought about making new clothes and shoes for Hu Qian, Wu Song and Hu Sanniang.

But after all, they are just concubines. Although Hu Sanniang is later, she is Wu Song's official wife, so there is still a gap in status.

So it is far from Hu Sanniang's turn to make clothes for them. Besides, seeing her wielding knives and clubs all day long, how can she make clothes.

After the discussion, Wu Yueniang led Liu'er to Xunhu Sanniang, wanting to measure her size, and then asked her for Wu Song's clothes and shoes to see the size.

When we got to Hu Sanniang's side, we saw that she was practicing saber again.

Perhaps because she was too involved in the practice, she didn't notice Wu Yueniang's arrival at all, and with a flick of the tip of the knife in her hand, she stabbed straight at Wu Yueniang.

When Hu Sanniang reacted, it was too late. Even if she withdrew the knife at this time, it would definitely hit Wu Yueniang.

However, just when she thought that this time it was bound to lead to a big mistake, Wu Yueniang took a step back subconsciously, with a speed like the wind, and even dodged directly.

Hu Sanniang was taken aback for a moment, then put away the knife, and seeing that the two of them were fine, she asked, "Yueniang's speed was so fast just now! Did you practice it before?"

Wu Yueniang said: "Second sister-in-law is joking, my family only knows how to needle and thread since childhood, how have you practiced any martial arts?"

"Since you haven't practiced, why was your speed so fast just now?"

"This servant doesn't know either?"

Hu Sanniang squinted her eyes. Although she had heard Wu Song talk about the origins of Hu Qian and these concubines, seeing Wu Yueniang's agility, she couldn't help being a little suspicious, thinking that she might be a spy sent from elsewhere.

So he handed her the knife in his hand and said, "Yue Niang might as well try this knife."

Wu Yueniang was startled, took a step back, and waved her hands again and again, "Second sister-in-law, stop joking, my family really doesn't know martial arts."

Hu Sanniang lost her temper and forced the knife into his hand, "You can take it if you tell me, where did all this nonsense come from!"

Wu Yueniang had to hold the knife in her hand.

"Chop forward and try!"

Wu Yueniang closed her eyes, bit the bullet and slashed.

"Use some strength!"

Wu Yueniang was a little annoyed by what she said, and cut it off with a sharp knife.

"Wow!"

The blade of the blade actually carried a stream of air in the air, which was extremely fierce.

Hu Sanniang was startled, and hurried to the side to hide.

When she didn't move, she snatched the knife again, and said with staring eyes: "This kind of knife technique! You still say you don't know martial arts?"

Wu Yueniang said: "What is the second sister-in-law talking about? My family has never known martial arts. If you don't believe me, you can ask your uncle."

Speaking of Hu Qian, Wu Yueniang suddenly thought of his supernatural powers, and said to herself: "This...maybe it is caused by the master's supernatural powers..."

Hu Sanniang asked: "What supernatural power? Did I teach you to practice?"

"That's the one..." Wu Yueniang blushed and didn't know how to say it.

"Say it!"

"Oh, it's that supernatural power! Forget it, second sister-in-law should go ask uncle."

After speaking, he left.

Hu Sanniang was stunned for a moment, but still had no clue, but seeing that Wu Yueniang was so good at being so inexperienced in martial arts, this supernatural power was also extremely good. If she practiced it herself, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings? Very helpful.

She hurried to the government office to find Wu Song.

In front of Hu Qian and Guan Sheng Hu Yanzhuo, he pulled Wu Song outside and asked, "Uncle has a very powerful supernatural power, do you know about it?"

Wu Song asked suspiciously, "My brother has several supernatural powers, which one is the lady talking about?"

"It's that...the one Wu Yueniang said...is very powerful?"

Wu Song still didn't know why, "Which one is that?"

Hu Sanniang had no choice but to tell Wu Song what she had encountered today.

Wu Song had heard Hu Qian talk about supernatural formulas before, and immediately knew what she was talking about.

So he laughed and said, "This elder brother also taught me, but he is not as good as you said."

Hu Sanniang grabbed his arm, "Don't worry about that, it's the right thing to teach me quickly. Recently, I feel that no matter how difficult it is to improve martial arts, if I get this help, I might be able to avenge my father without the help of the army!"

Wu Songdao: "I'm busy now, let's talk about it when I go back!"

Hu Sanniang still refused to give up, "Say it now, and I'll leave after I finish."

Wu Song had no choice but to tell her the formula Hu Qian said earlier.

She hurried back home and began to recite the formula silently.

After reading like this for three days, let alone progress, my body has not changed at all.

After thinking about it, she went to find Wu Yueniang again, "How did uncle teach you, why did you make progress so fast! But the officials and I didn't make any progress at all?"

Wu Yueniang and Li Ping'er looked at each other, both of them were a little embarrassed.

Hu Sanniang said: "How can you look like a woman! Tell me!"

Wu Yueniang and the others looked at each other, all in a daze.

Xiao Cui said: "Second sister-in-law, don't blame me, it's really hard to talk about this matter, I also invite second sister-in-law to come to the room, and I will explain it to second sister-in-law in detail."

So the two entered the room, and after a while, Xiaocui came out, followed by Hu Sanniang with a blushing face.

At this moment, she didn't ask any more questions, and walked out of the courtyard gate.

Li Ping'er and the others wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

When Hu Sanniang returned to the house, she saw that the servant was hanging a lantern on the door, so she asked, "Isn't it too early for the festival? What kind of lantern are you hanging now?"

"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is what the second master told me to hang up."

Hu Sanniang was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect the time to pass so quickly.

Thinking back to last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, when lanterns and festoons were decorated in Hu's village, my father and elder brother were drinking wine, my mother and other female relatives were eating some fruit and admiring the moon, and I was dancing my swords in the moonlight.

At that time, my father said to my brother, fortunately, he was born in our family. If it is an ordinary family, it is difficult to find a husband's family.

He was so angry that he stuck his two knives on the ground, went up to his father to argue, and later spilled the wine, so that his father's robe was wet.

Looking up, there was no one around, Wu Song had not returned yet, and the moonlight was not as bright as last year.

She returned to the room, looked at the two knives beside her, frowned suddenly, and kicked the stool down.

When Wu Song came back, she stepped forward again and said, "I went to ask Wu Yueniang today."

"what?"

"Of course it's a matter of supernatural powers."

"What did she say?"

Hu Sanniang hesitated for a moment, then blushed and repeated what Xiaocui said.

Wu Song was also taken aback, never expecting that there is such an allusion in it.

Hu Sanniang said: "Although this is the case, there must be other ways. For example, if there is any improvement method, you can practice without that."

Wu Songdao: "So what are you going to do?"

"Go and ask your uncle."

"Me? Ask this?" Wu Song put down the wine jar in his hand and shook his head, "Can this kind of thing be asked casually?"

"So what if I ask?"

"That's my brother's private matter, maybe it's an extremely secret matter, even if it's a brother, it's hard to ask.

Besides, this supernatural power may not be suitable for our cultivation. "

Hu Sanniang said: "You didn't ask, how do you know if it's suitable or not!"

Wu Song raised his head and took another sip, "Forget it, if you want revenge, I'll go with you."

"Hmph! There are not a few people around Song Jiang who are highly skilled in martial arts, and we are just dying for nothing."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Go to uncle and ask for this method! Let's... practice..."

Wu Song turned around at this moment, all the smiles on his face were put away, "Is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true. For revenge, I'll do anything!"

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The people in the city originally saw that the city was broken by the bandits of Erlong Mountain and others, and thought that they would be plundered wantonly, no matter whether it was people or property, they would suffer, but who knew that this Hunshi Mingwang was very capable of restraining his subordinates.

Not only was Qiu innocent, but the tax was also cut in half.

For the common people, this is much more practical than any slogan.

After all, since Emperor Daojun ascended the throne, he not only procured "Hua Shi Gang" in the south, but also built "Gen Yue" in Bianjing.

Even the public land money was collected, so all arable land needs to pay taxes, and then extended to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Huaihe River Basin.

Liangshan Po, which spreads for hundreds of miles, is the place where fishermen along the lake in several counties of Jeju and Yunzhou depend for their survival. Taxes are also forcibly collected by boats, and tax evaders are punished as bandits.

This may also be the main reason why Liang Shan and others occupy the mountain as king.

All in all, with so many levies and miscellaneous taxes, Qingzhou only charges half of the tax, which is like heaven.

Coupled with the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the people are even more happy, and they are beaming here.

In the morning, new wine was sold in all the shops, and the facades of the shops were newly decorated, painting poles with flower heads were erected, and pennants with the words "Drunken Immortal" were hung.

The people in the city rushed to drink in the store first. At noon, when the wine in the store was sold out, they tore down the hanging wine curtain.

At this time, the hairy crabs had just been delivered, and various fruits such as pomegranates, pear dates, chestnuts, grapes, oranges and tangerines mixed with green and yellow were just on the market.

Some dignitaries built and decorated high platforms and water pavilions, and ordinary people also went to restaurants to occupy seats to enjoy the moon.

At this time, Hu Qian, Wu Song, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Yang Zhi, Hu Sanniang, and Zhou Tong were all drinking in the courtyard. Not far away, Wu Yueniang and his daughters were accompanying Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo's wives and children.

Liu'er and Pan Qiaoyun, as maidservants, poured wine and water respectfully beside them.

Pan Qiaoyun looked at the luxurious clothes worn by the few people in front of her, and saw that they were full of jewels, chatting and laughing, so she bit her lips, and looked down at her clothes that had been washed white.

She was stunned for a moment, and she didn't even hear Pang Chunmei call her.

Pang Chunmei frowned and said, "You little hoof, what are you thinking!"

Pan Qiaoyun hurried over and listened to her orders.

Even so, time and time again, when I was with the first minister and Yang Xiong, I was so happy that I was so happy...

It just so happened that Meng Yulou said that he was a little dizzy from drinking and needed someone to help him back.

Pan Qiaoyun's heart skipped a beat, he hesitated and said, "My slave, come and help me."

Pang Chunmei glanced at her, and let her help Meng Yulou go.

The dinner party was still going on, but Hu Sanniang's thoughts were not on these people in front of her, but on the supernatural power.

She kept looking for opportunities to wink at Wu Song, but every time Wu Song either pretended not to see it or wanted to speak, she encountered Yang Zhi and the others toasting.

In short, there has been no chance to say.

After the dinner, everyone went back to rest.

Hu Qian was also supported by Wu Yueniang and the others, and walked into the house.

Wu Song hadn't planned to say anything else, but at this moment Hu Sanniang punched him on the back suddenly and pushed him forward.

Seeing Wu Song behind him, Hu Qian asked, "Brother, is there something wrong?"

Wu Songdao: "There is one thing I want to ask my brother for help."

"You and my brother, what else is there to say."

"It's really embarrassing, please go to the room and talk."

When Hu Sanniang heard this, she hurried to the room and sat down in the inner room.

After a while, Wu Song and Hu Qian arrived outside.

After sitting down, Wu Song said: "Brother..."

He opened his mouth, saw Hu Qian looking over, and said, "After we take Mizhou, what's the next step?"

Hu Qian said: "After going to Mizhou, we will naturally take Dengzhou again, and connect the three states together to form a corner. At that time, we can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat. The Song court will definitely not be able to do anything to us."

Hu Sanniang heard this in the inner room, and pinched the quilt angrily.

Wu Song hesitated for a moment, and then said: "My brother is invincible...but Dengzhou...sick Wei Chi, Sun Li and others were from Dengzhou before, it seems that there are quite a few people with strong martial arts..."

Hu Qian said: "Brother, what happened today? These words are not in line with your usual style."

Wu Songdao: "Brother is just not sure, what should we do next."

Hu Qian said: "This is also my fault, I didn't explain it clearly to you..."

Just as he was about to speak, Dai'an suddenly said outside: "Master, it is said that Lu Zhishen has returned from Huazhou and is waiting to see you in the hall."

Hu Qian said: "Great, let them wait for a while, I will come right away."

Then he turned his head and said to Wu Song: "Brother, if you have something to say, you can just say it directly. Lu Zhishen must have brought Shi Jin and others this time. We can't keep them waiting."

Wu Song scratched his head anxiously, and when he didn't know what to say, Hu Sanniang suddenly rushed out from inside.

"Uncle, he wants to ask you, how do you usually have intercourse?"
