Battle for hegemony at the end of the Qin Dynasty in the military god system

Chapter 84 Confucianists (1)

In the early morning, Li Xing in the east of Changyi City opened the door as usual, sighing in his heart that it was another boring day.

"Boss, is the door open?" A familiar call came from outside the door. Li Xing hooked his head and found that it was the little brother who often picked up goods from him. Li Xing said with a smile: "I don't know who came to me so early. It’s you, Brother Xia! Why are the woodcarvings and jade wares you picked up a few days ago all sold out?”

Regarding Li Xing's question, Brother Xia said helplessly, "Don't mention it, I met a ruthless person."

"Oh! Let's hear it." Li Xing, who was worrying about the boredom of living in seclusion, heard Brother Xia's complaint, feeling like a person walking in the desert suddenly found an oasis, not to mention how refreshed he was, and asked happily.

Brother Xia saw Li Xing's sudden interest, and complained with an unhappy face: "Brother, seeing me being embarrassed, you should show a comforting expression, not a happy brow."

"Don't pay attention to such details, quickly tell me about the ruthless person you met." Li Xing sat down at the table excitedly, filled himself with wine, and served the leftover appetizers from last night, urging Xia The little brother said quickly.

Brother Xia's eyebrows twitched. Although he knew that Brother Li was unreliable before, he never knew that he was so unreliable. Fortunately, Brother Xia and Li Xing have a good relationship. Seeing Li Xing's behavior of gloating is just After complaining, he finally told about his experience.

"It starts with going to the market yesterday. You know that every time I go to the market, I will go to the market to sell some groceries I collected." Seeing the wine on Li Xing's table, Brother Xia grabbed it and drank it unceremoniously. Li Xing did not stop, but nodded and urged: "I know this, let's get to the point."

"There are as many people in the market as usual. There are several Rong tribes near us. I usually sell some sundries to them."

"The ruthless people you're talking about are from the Rong tribe?" Li Xing interrupted.

"No, brother, listen to me!" Brother Xia said dissatisfied.

Li Xing made a gesture of closing his mouth, motioning for Brother Xia to continue.

"I just made a good deal with a man from the Rong tribe. When I was still in the mood to make a fortune, a girl who looked like a fairy came and stopped in front of my stall." Xia Xia said. The little brother swallowed, and said happily: "Brother, let me tell you, she is really a fairy. I still can't forget her appearance."

"The ruthless person can't be this fairy-like girl!" Li Xing took a sip of his wine, smacking his lips to recollect the taste.

"How is that possible? That fairy has such a good personality. The ruthless person I'm talking about is an extremely ugly villain who walked with her." As he spoke, Brother Xia clenched his fists and showed an angry expression. Then he seemed to think of something, He let out a sigh of relief, and said angrily again: "The fairy must have been coerced by that villain. It's a pity that my force is low, otherwise I will definitely save her from suffering."

"What's wrong with that villain, you look so good?" Li Xing and Brother Xia have been friends for many years, and they know what kind of guy he is, so they directly ignored Brother Xia's words with personal feelings. asked straight to the point.

"Do you still remember the white jade hairpin I received from you last time?"

Li Xing nodded, took a sip of his wine, and said with a smile, "Is it the treasure of the Qi royal family?"

"That's right! That's it! Isn't this really a treasure of the Qi Kingdom?" Brother Xia asked uncertainly.

"How is it possible! If it was a treasure, I would sell it to you so cheaply!"

"Damn! I just said, how can you, a liar, have such a good product."

"But that hairpin does have a history, do you want to know?"

"You old man wants to bluff me again. What's the source? Let's hear it."

Li Xing looked at Brother Xia with a smile, seeing that Brother Xia's heart was trembling. Brother Xia took a step back and said, "I don't want to talk! I'm not interested, sir."

"You'd better finish the story of your encounter with a ruthless person first, and then I'll tell you about Bai Yuchai." Li Xing was lying on the side of the table, holding a wine bowl in one hand, with a vague smile on his face, Said lightly.

"Since you want to hear, I'll continue talking." Brother Xia grabbed a mouthful of vegetables, threw it into his mouth, and continued, "That fairy fell in love with this Bai Yuchai."

"What a vision!" Li Xing exclaimed.

"Do you still want to hear it!" Brother Xia said angrily.

Li Xing made a gesture of shutting up again, signaling for Brother Xia to continue.

"The evil man came over when he saw the little fairy falling in love with this hairpin. He asked me how much this hairpin would cost. Do I want to do business? Of course, I can make as much as I can. I got it from you, which is ten taels of copper coins. , seeing a man buying it for a woman, he probably won’t care about the price, and is going to ask him for five taels of gold.” Brother Xia stretched out five fingers, and then said: “Brother, you said my price is quite affordable. Bar!"

Li Xing pointed to his closed mouth, indicating that I am now shutting up.

Brother Xia rolled his eyes and continued: "I just pointed out five fingers to him, and the price was five taels of gold. In the end, the villain gave me five taels of copper coins. I explained that this white jade hairpin came from the royal family of Qi. It is a treasure of the Qi Kingdom, priceless, and these five taels of copper coins cannot be bought. As a result, this villain dragged me viciously to meet the officials, saying that I was a remnant of the Six Kingdoms, and threatened me, saying that Daqin had captured the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, They are all cruel punishments such as beheading at the waist and quartering the body by five horses. After I heard it, I explained to him again and again that I am not a remnant of the six kingdoms. He pointed to Bai Yuchai and said, if I am not, how can there be treasures of the Qi royal family, I have no choice but to beg for forgiveness. , I received it from elsewhere. In the end, the villain still pulled me and said that I wanted to see the official, and said, I must know the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. I thought, if I went to the official, wouldn’t this be betraying you, brother? How can someone like me, who is so loyal, do such unrighteous things, and he was wise enough to give them the white jade hairpin, but fortunately they didn't care so much, so they gave me five taels of copper coins." Said, Brother Xia wiped away his tears, and said distressedly: "I still have some conscience, otherwise I would have lost five taels of copper coins."

"Haha!" Li Xing held his stomach and laughed loudly: "You are still a businessman, and you don't know if you were cheated. He is clearly trying to take away your Bai Yuchai at a low price. Seeing an official is nothing more than intimidation." Yours, if you really went to see the official with him, maybe he would not dare to go. He must have experienced this so clearly about the punishment of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. He is either the person or the punisher. But I heard your description, he It is more likely that it is the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. Maybe it is the person who knows the origin of Bai Yuchai, and speaking of this, I really want to meet this person."

"This villain, how dare you bully me like this, don't fall into my hands, or he will definitely make him look good." Hearing Li Xing's explanation, Brother Xia cursed viciously with anger on his face.

Just when little brother Xia wanted Sha Pojun to look good, there was a voice behind him that made him resentful: "This little brother looks very familiar!"

"It's you!" Brother Xia took a few steps back, pointed at Sha Pojun and said in horror. Then, as if he had something to rely on, he straightened his chest and said in a warning tone: "What are you doing here? I warn you, I am not afraid of you, I now know that you are a remnant of the Six Kingdoms. Don't force me to report to the official."

"Haha! Brother, you are very imaginative. I am not a remnant of the Six Kingdoms. I am a non-commissioned officer of Daqin. Why do you want to sit with me?" Sha Pojun pressed the hilt of his knife, squinted his eyes, and smiled back road.

Brother Xia took a few steps back, took a deep breath, rushed out in one go, and ran away without looking back.

Sha Pojun shouted: "Come and visit me when you have time!" Unfortunately, the younger brother did not reply.Sha Pojun smiled, this little brother was probably scared enough this time.
