Mo Lin Chapter 462: Jianghu Taste Audio Novel Online Listening

A military fort adjacent to the Tianduan Mountains,

A Ming rode a horse,

A black dress,

From time to time, he took out a veil and gently wiped the bead of sweat that was impossible to exist on his forehead.

Behind him, there was a group of civilians pushing a few carts to follow along. The carts were filled with all kinds of flowers.

These flowers are all picked from the Tianduan Mountains;

And from outside the military fort, a tower-like man stood there with a young girl sitting on his shoulders.

The man is wearing a white gown, long black trousers, and a pair of extra-large thick cloth shoes on his feet, which vividly interprets the rusticity.

The girl is wearing a purple dress and holding a sword in her hand.

Ming saw the pair of big and small superimposed in front,

I couldn't help but shook his head, waved his hand to signal that the civilians in the rear would march into the fort, and he rode out and came to them.

"Waiting for me?" A Ming asked.

Fan Li nodded.

The maidservant opened the mouth and said, "We were looking for the bandits nearby. The military fort sent a letter. We learned that you had just entered the mountain from here a few days ago and that you should be coming back soon. So we planned to wait for you for two days. We only waited for one day. I'm back."

Ming looked at the maidservant Jian,

Tao

"so rude."

The maidservant Jian turned sideways, and the whole person almost came horizontally from Fan Li's shoulder, which is a difficult action;

Reached out and took out a water bladder from the big basket behind Fan Li.

Sit up straight,

Throwing the water bag towards A Ming.

Ah Ming took it and pulled out the stopper. There was a refreshing fragrance of fruit wine rippling inside.

He loves blood and wine;

On weekdays, I don’t eat.

The maidservant said, "Fruit wine made by a group of monkeys in the forest."

This is baby.

A Ming took a sip, nodded, and described it in a rather vulgar word, that is, with the fragrant wine fragrance of nature;

But, it tastes really good.

Tao

"Forgive your disrespect."

immediately?

Ah Ming put the water sac in place and asked;

"what's up?"

The Fengxin City expansion project and the new construction of the Hou Mansion have been completed, and Fan Li, the leader of the construction team, is finally free? And the maidservant Jian has finally reached the age when he should practice sword? So I just took the maidservant to practice.

The so-called experience?

Is Kaifeng

The dancers in the red tents can also be pleasing to the eye with their sword dances, but the real swordsman needs human blood to open.

in short?

Fan Li took the sword maid to kill someone.

The hunting target is also easy to find.

Because of the needs of land reclamation and various siege of cities, many industries under the Hou Mansion are in urgent need of manpower? Previously, it was because they had to look at the stock of potatoes? So the population was deliberately suppressed;

Now? Looking at the fast autumn harvest? The most difficult hurdle has passed? As a result, the problem of shortage of people has been revealed again, and it has severely restricted the development of Jindong.

What is frustrating is that

After Xu Wenzu hit his goal early, he began to focus on governance, so that the people could return to their homeland, live and work in peace, and heal the wounds squeezed out by war and taxes.

This makes the Hou Mansion want to continue to absorb the refugees from the east of Wangjiang as before? It can't be used anymore.

First, it is hard for the people to leave their homeland after all? Unless there is really no alternative, they will not choose to move their families.

The second is the relationship between the Hou Mansion and Xu Wenzu, forcibly digging walls on other people's sites? If the relationship between the two is destroyed, the gains will not be worth the loss.

Fortunately, there is a poor neighbor here in Jindong, and that is Xueyuan.

Under the operation of the two old silver coins, the Blind Man and the Savage King,

Another sinister black slave trade that had appeared in time and space came in a similar pattern in Jindong.

What the Hou Mansion had to do was to provoke disputes between some tribes in the snowfield, in short, let them fight.

In this regard, the presence of the Savage King is simple;

Then, they used silk, tea, jewellery and all kinds of goods other than iron to purchase prisoners of war.

It has to be said that since the failure of the "ZTE" of the Savage King generation, what the Xueyuan Savage lost is the essence of an entire generation or even two generations;

The remaining nobles are either timid or short-sighted.

In short,

Batch after batch of savage slaves began to be trafficked into the Snow Customs to enrich the various industries under the Hou Mansion.

In the past, because the Hou Mansion had not been established, coupled with the tense current situation and sharp local ethnic conflicts, the early methods of squeezing labor against the savages of war were used. The fortifications at the front line of the snow customs were repaired. Pieces of bones.

At present, the Hou Mansion is organized in the form of households. Among them, the young and strong and those who are good at riding and shooting, select a part of the income bidding households to set an example for other savage slaves;

Most of the savage slaves who had been trafficked in found that although they were tired and tired in Jindong, the life seemed to be better than in the hometown of Xueyuan, so overall, the mood was very stable.

From time to time, looking at the soldiers of the savage clan under the Hou Mansion who had joined early, there was a lot of hope in their hearts.

But there are no absolutes. There are always some people who love their homeland too much, or some savage tribes and nobles who have been captured and defeated in battle. They are not willing to live such "ordinary people" lives and chose to escape.

There is no way to go there at the Snow Customs, and you can't go there, you can only go through the sky and the broken mountains. Anyway, you can go all the way north and cross the mountains without starving to death in the mountains or being bitten to death by wild animals. You can always return to the snowy field.

Such people are called "bandits" by the Hou Mansion and are targeted for hunting and fighting.

And Fan Li,

It was the maidservant who brought the sword to find these bandits to open the front.

Facing Ah Ming’s question, Jian Ma said

"I originally planned to go back, but it happened to find a group of gangsters. There were a lot of them, twenty or thirty. There were also two or three savage masters who deliberately concealed their strength when they were caught in the first place.

Therefore, while working in the workshop, he killed two guards and escaped. "

Generally speaking, among the slaves, there will be some specialties, and they will be impatiently reported at the beginning of the review in order to get better treatment;

Although the town of Gou Moli did not have many soldiers, with the acquiescence of Lord Zheng, he was allowed to choose among the savage slaves that had been traded.

And this group deliberately concealed their strength, which meant that they planned to escape after being captured and traded.

It is definitely easier to escape while working than to escape in a barracks.

"Go and kill, wait for me to do what?" A Ming asked.

Sword maid smiled

"I don't think it is safe. Since you are near here, wait for you."

"I'm busy."

Ah Ming pointed his finger at the scooter that was being pushed by the people in front of him.

"I have to go back and develop a new type of perfume."

Talking,

Ah Ming looked at Fan Li again,

Tao;

"Just transfer some soldiers from the nearby military fort and wipe out them together."

Fan Li shook his head and said

"This is experience."

If you lead soldiers, how do you experience it?

When Ah Ming heard this, he almost laughed in anger.

Tao

"Take a little girl, take a sword, and kill twenty bandits. Some of the bandits are quite skilled, and there must be another boss.

What does this look like?

Ali,

Are you bored with the task of Novice Village?

After the target is killed,

Will you drop gold coins or wait to go back to Fengxin City to the Juggernaut to hand in the task? "

The maidservant didn't understand this passage.

Fan Li was still concise and concise, asked

"going or not."

A Ming smiled.

"The fool went."

"There is still fruit wine."

"Ah."

"One cylinder."

"I can't worry about you."

………

Along the Tianduan Mountains, there is a trade road. Many business travelers come from here to visit the Xuehaiguan Village, then go to Zhennanguan, and when they go back, they will pass Fengxin City.

The route is naturally different for different goods.

In comparison, this area is a blank area under the rule of the Hou Mansion.

Because at this stage, the actual control and development area of ​​Houfu is located in the triangle covering position between Fengxin City, Zhennanguan, and Xueguan.

In other places, there is no intention to develop and recover for the time being, but some military fortresses will be set up from time to time and some sentry teams will be sent to sweep them and swear their sphere of influence.

The places that are not under the jurisdiction of the government seem to be free, but in reality it will be interpreted as another kind of weak food.

Some powers of the arena are entrenched here. Some people inevitably have unclean hands and feet. It's nothing more than petty theft, and even some murderous activities, but because of the deterrence of the Hou Mansion, there has not been too much. .

The vast majority of people in the arena are hired here to serve as caravan bodyguards.

In fact, there was a similar market in Tiger Head City. Fan Li once applied for a caravan and entered the desert.

In order to further stimulate the trade of merchants, the Hou Mansion did not prohibit caravans from Xueyuan and Chu from entering, nor did they prohibit caravans from entering the first two from its own territory. Of course, taxes must be drawn;

At the same time, if you find it troublesome, you can also directly transfer the goods to the Houfu at a lower price. The Houfu itself also has the largest commercial bank responsible for the trade between these two places.

In addition, the monster beast business in the Tianduan Mountains and the production of some special products have also resumed due to the end of the war.

in short,

This area, leaning on the Tianduan Mountains, far from Fengxin City, and quite close to Wangjiang, belongs to the area where it doesn’t matter for the time being.

These people from the rivers and lakes, picking up jobs here, quite have a "mercenary" model.

Of course, they would not be stupid to build a town or dock here, so that the goal would be too conspicuous, and no matter how arrogant and arrogant, they would not be stupid enough to shoot sand on the site of the prestigious Pingxi Houye. .

Therefore, although there are also inns and buildings here, they are far away from each other.

The town is not like a town, but like a scattered post station.

at this time,

Ah Ming, Fan Li, and Jian Maid were standing in front of a "Leopard Gate Inn".

"Fortunately, it's not called Longmen Inn." A Ming smiled, "Otherwise, in a few days I'm destined to write a letter and transfer troops to defeat it."

Because if it is called Longmen Inn, it violates the patents of the demon kings and the master. In the past, when chatting, the big guys were always a big deal to open the table and find a place that no one knew to open a new Longmen Inn.

"Yo, guest officer, stay in a restaurant or eat?"

Xiao Er in the shop is a camel, greets him when he goes out, with a flattering smile.

Fan Li stretched out his hand, took out his axe from the basket behind him, and slashed it directly at the shop!

Xiao Er immediately turned sideways and dodged over.

"Om!"

The axe chopped off.

"Brother, what does this mean!"

The humpback shop's little second has a fierce look.

Fan Li looked at the maidservant sitting on his shoulders, then turned his face to look at Ah Ming.

Tao

"I guess I know how to kung fu."

In this environment,

A relatively remote inn,

Dian Er, hunchback, flattering smile;

Classic routine.

Therefore, Fan Li wanted to prove his conjecture, and then he hacked it with an axe.

Sure enough, the second person in the shop is kung fu and dodges over.

Of course,

If Xiao Er can't know Kung Fu and Fan Li guessed wrong, then Xiao Er's head should have been divided.

but,

Who cares?

Ah Ming rolled his eyes at Fan Li. This guy looks the most honest and honest, but no one dares to treat him as an honest person. Honest people can't do the kind of taking out the remains of the People's Congress Zhuguo in front of them. Chu people's face twisted the matter of Yangko.

"Stay in."

A Ming took a silver ingot from his arms and threw it to the shop's second child.

The second shopkeeper grabbed the silver in his hand, and immediately lost his smile, as if the previous thing hadn’t happened at all, and immediately bent his hunched back a few more points.

Tao;

"Three masters, please come from here."

The inn is very big, but at the same time, the inn is also very simple.

Diaolianghuadong does not exist, nor does the minutiae exist.

On the first floor is the lobby, where a swordsman is sitting alone eating wine, with a big knife next to him.

The knife man's clothes were ragged, he had leggings, and the knife was wrapped in cloth, only the handle of the knife was exposed.

He sat there, very inconspicuous.

Fan Li silently reached out to touch the basket behind him again.

A Ming stretched out his foot and kicked Fan Li's calf.

Fan Li frowned slightly, put his hand back, but still seemed to feel uncomfortable because he couldn't test it.

Behind the counter, there is a woman who is about 30 years old and has a mole on her face. It is not as charming as it is, but she still belongs to the type of recurring customers in the red tent.

It's hot,

The clothes on her chest showed a lot of whiteness,

When I saw A Ming walk in,

He didn't say hello, but he stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth;

can,

This action,

Ming also often does it.

"Three masters, please."

Humpback Xiao Er took Aming three people upstairs.

"Two, how many rooms do you want?"

"One room," said the maidservant Jian.

Finished,

The maidservant took a special look at Ah Ming beside him and Fan Li under him.

Tao

"The children of the rivers and lakes walk in the rivers and lakes, don't care about these details."

Ah Ming let out a "heh".

This baby girl was taken by Yuan Zhenxing in her early years. After being shot into a hedgehog by her owner's orders by the Bian River, Yuan Zhenxing has been living with herself and others.

She knows what a fart is.

Entered the house,

Humpback Xiaoer was about to ask if he wanted to prepare a meal, but was stunned by Ah Ming directly shaking his hand with a gold ingot.

The maidservant Jian was also surprised at the same time.

A Ming asked directly

"There is a group of savages, do they also live in your shop?"

Humpback Xiao Er picked up the gold ingot, bit, and nodded.

"Yes, yes, but they live in the stables at the back. Our shop supplies food. They should be waiting for someone to answer. Maybe they are waiting for the savage caravan coming in from the snow customs."

Ah Ming threw another gold ingot and asked

"how many people?"

"Man on the 18th has knives."

Ah Ming threw another gold ingot and asked

"Are there any services?"

Humpback Xiaoer blinked.

Ah Ming stretched his hand into his arms again.

Humpback little two busy

"Master, master, don't dig anymore. The more you dig, the more refreshing you will be. Either it proves that you are indeed rich and you don’t like this thing, or you have the absolute certainty to let the little ones go If you eat it today, then vomit it out. Anyway, it will be kept by the little one for a few days. You don’t feel bad."

A Ming smiled.

Humpback Xiao Er put two of the three gold ingots back on the table, pointed to the remaining one, said

"Master, this one is enough. Tonight, I will add medicine to their meals for the evening, and I will pour out all the medicine. When the time comes, you will do whatever you want, Master."

"..." Sword maid.

Ah Ming pushed another gold ingot out of the two gold ingots on the table and put it in front of Xiao Er.

Tao

"On this one, you call some people, and after the medicine is overturned, they will be tied up, so that we don't have to trouble anymore.

"Master, do you want to live?"

A Ming shook his head and said, "Tie it up and kill it."

"..." Sword maid.

"Master, you're polite, yes, wrap it in the little one, in fact, the little one has seen those savages not pleasing to the eyes for a long time.

Wait, I will arrange some food for the three of you first, and wait until the evening, when you wait for the small things to be done and then report.

correct,

What do you want to eat? "

Fan Li said

"Naan."

"okay."

The humpback little Er went down.

Sword maid exclaimed

"Which way are you to walk the rivers and lakes? I was blinded by those fruit wines that I finally found!"

A Ming glanced at the maidservant sword~lightnovelpub.net~dao

"This is what Jianghu really looks like."

"This is not, this is not, when I used to walk the rivers and lakes with my master..."

"Your master is a poor man."

"..." Sword maid.

A Ming stretched,

Tao

"Jianghu, there are many rules, but 90% of the rules are because of poverty."

The maidservant bit her silver teeth,

Point to the gold ingot left on the table

"You don't understand the truth about walking in the arena and fortune? Do you believe that tonight the second person in the shop will do it to the savages but to us?"

A Ming smiled.

Tao

"Open the gold ingot and have a look."

The maidservant Jian stretched out his hand and turned the gold ingot over, printed with the four words Ping Xihou Mansion.

A Ming yawned.

Tao

"This is a batch of gold ingots newly produced by the Hou Mansion. What I reveal is not wealth, but power.

Look at the shopkeeper and Xiao Er in this store, dare you dare to call us. "

The maidservant muttered,

So angry!

She looked at A Ming with a faint feeling,

Complained

"Relying on money and power, you have made my arena become dull, you pay back my arena, and my arena, you know how long I have waited for this opportunity, and how long have I waited for this opportunity!"

Fan Li stretched out his hand,

Touched the head of the maidservant Jian,

Tao

"He was right."

"No, you're talking nonsense, big man, you're talking nonsense, that's not the case. The real arena is like my Sword Saint Master, who is carefree and free from fear of power..."

Fan Li asked

"Where does your master live?"

"..." Sword maid.

Master lives,

Hou Mansion is next door.

Fan Li Youdao

"Jianghu, that's it."
