Me and countless me

However, just like the previous treasure armor and treasure gun, the moment Li Ke finished speaking, the light on the night-shining jade lion converged, and there was no longer the kind of flash that could blind people's eyes.

Duan Jingzhu, who was still a little reluctant to give up in his heart, completely lost the slightest bit of reluctance at this moment.

The horse recognizes its owner. At this time, any consideration of the value of the horse for one second is disrespectful to this scene and disrespectful to Duan Jingzhu’s IQ!

"Brother please accept this horse!"

Duan Jingzhu bowed his head again and bowed. Li Ke had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, okay, I'll just take it."

Li Ke shook his head, and then glanced at his spear. Someone brought a cloth to wipe the spear in his hand, while Li Ke looked at Duan Jingzhu curiously.

"Brother sells horses, why are you here?"

Duan Jingzhu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

"It's not forced by the government."

After saying that, he started to complain to Li Ke. Originally, his horses were smuggled well, with the help of big bosses above, but below, they said the horses were bad, and everyone turned a blind eye and passed by.

After all, the horses Duan Jingzhu bought were not affordable for ordinary people. A good BMW was more than enough to buy a house for ordinary people. It can be said that 99% of the people of the Song Dynasty. No good BMW is worth anything.

So it goes without saying who Duan Jingzhu's customers are.

Offending Duan Jingzhu was basically tantamount to offending the powerful. However, the imperial court suddenly issued a horse-buying policy, saying it was to fight against the Liao soldiers, but officials from various places found a source of free horses.

People from wealthy families naturally don't care whether the BMW they own is given by their subordinates or bought by themselves. In short, all they need is a good BMW.

So Duan Jingzhu was unlucky. He couldn't take the usual route. He could only take this remote path and then try the waterway, so he passed by Jingyanggang and wanted to go from Yanggu County.

"I think in the past, my golden retriever had one or two horse farms. Even if I didn't do this smuggling business, I could still be rich and content, but now..."

Duan Jingzhu let out a long sigh. Naturally, his horse farm was forcibly requisitioned by the government. After all, his family has been either a horse fortune teller or a horse dealer for generations, and most of his connections are in the military. He is not a scholarly family, so naturally no one will protect him.

So naturally he could only keep running around and smuggling horses to maintain and subsidize his family.

"The world is indeed becoming more and more difficult. There are so many corrupt officials..."

Li Ke stopped when he said this. He didn't plan to talk more about this with Duan Jingzhu. After all, Duan Jingzhu was the kind of middle class person who 'really has a cow'.

He has connections, connections, and a stable status in Song Dynasty society. Unless one day he can't even sell horses to make a living, he will think of rebellion.

So Li Ke just exchanged a few pleasantries with Duan Jingzhu. The other party was interested in each other, so he left his contact information with Li Ke and left in a hurry.

It's not that Duan Jingzhu doesn't want to talk to Li Ke more, but because he has already been delayed. If he doesn't get to the dock in Yanggu County sooner, he will owe another favor and pay more.

Because of this, Duan Jingzhu had to leave quickly.

Li Ke didn't try to persuade him to stay. Instead, he mounted a white horse and headed towards Daming Mansion in Beijing to seek refuge with Liang Taishu.

It has to be said that this divine horse is extremely handsome and rides like lightning. Riding this white horse, Li Ke arrived at Daming Mansion in Beijing in just one week and arrived at the residence of his colleague. Later, he was introduced by the other party, and here he In the Daming Mansion in Beijing, he received an official position with jurisdiction over him.

However, there was no war at this time, and there was indeed little money to be made in Li Ke's jurisdiction. However, Li Ke did not bother to play the game of eating soldiers' blood. Although other people would deduct the salary of his soldiers every time, he still opened it himself. There is a canteen, but whenever the families of his soldiers go to eat there, each of them can get one or two steamed buns for free every day.

This incident naturally alarmed Shangguan, and Li Ke was also called over by Liang Zhongshu to talk, but Li Ke also had something to say.

"This is called harmony with light and dust. Master Zhongshu, if he doesn't take it, I won't take it. How can everyone take it? My colleagues will not look good on their faces, and my restaurant is not without profit."

Li Ke said this, and Liang Zhongshu was also very happy. Although he was Cai Jing's son-in-law, he didn't think highly of those who exploited his soldiers, so he suddenly felt that Li Ke was amiable.

"After all, this is a taboo thing, but there are only one or two hundred people, so it's not a big problem. It's just..."

When Liang Zhongshu said this, he suddenly remembered something and waved his hand.

"Speaking of which, do you know Yang Zhi?"

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Of course he knew about Yang Zhi, who came a long time before him, but neither Li Ke nor his colleagues thought highly of Yang Zhi, because this guy...

He had never been on the battlefield. Although he was good at martial arts, he was not like them. He crawled out of the dead. Moreover, the two of them fought with their lives and did not mention the jurisdiction in the end. It was Liang Zhongshu who gave the two of them in order to have some manpower in the army. Each person has jurisdiction.

This is because Liang Zhongshu knew the result of their bravery and skill in fighting.

But at this moment, Yang Zhi killed someone, broke the law, and was exiled here, but he could still be the governor. In this way, Yang Zhi still felt that he had been wronged, and his relationship with them was quite bad. Li Ke even wanted to make friends with him. , are all looked down upon by the other party, and they even feel that they must not be diligent enough in killing thieves on the frontier, so their wages have not increased for so many years, and they have not succeeded in rising to the top.

If it was Yang Zhi who went to the frontier army, he would definitely be able to win the battle and regain Yanyun.

Therefore, Li Ke and his colleague will naturally not stick to their cold buttocks.

It was only when Li Ke met Yang Zhi that he realized that the story of Water Margin had already begun. But what he was curious about was why he didn't see Wu Dalang in Yanggu County. After all, according to the original work, Wu Dalang had arrived in Yanggu early. County!

But after thinking about it, it didn't take long for Wu Erlang to kill someone, so Li Ke stopped worrying about this matter and started thinking about other things.

But at this moment, Liang Zhongshu mentioned Yang Zhi, and Li Ke immediately realized that the real beginning of the story of Liangshan Heroes was about to come!

So he cupped his hands before speaking.

"Yang Tiha and we naturally know that a general's disciple is naturally extraordinary above his own duties. I wonder why Mr. Zhongshu mentioned him?"

Liang Zhongshu nodded. After Li Ke came here, his ability was indeed quite good and he was also a good person. Although he committed a taboo this time, he did not intend to kill the other party directly, but planned to see what happened to him. Do you want to raise a group of followers or something else, so you need to transfer Li Ke away.

So he thought of an errand.

"It's good that you know Yang Zhi. I have something I need you and him to do. Please be patient... By the way, can you play chess?"

Liang Zhongshu casually asked the boy on the side to lay out the chess pieces on the chessboard. It was obvious that he didn't care no matter what Li Ke's answer was.

And Li Ke took a look at the vast sea of ​​chess in his mind, playing chess with Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and all kinds of monsters, ghosts, and snakes, and even a real immortal chess game in which every chess piece was reincarnated. After thinking for a while, he answered humbly.

"I understand a little bit, that's all."

"It's okay, it's just entertainment."

Liang Zhongshu smiled, not thinking that Li Ke could be very powerful at chess. However, when he reached midfield, Liang Zhongshu couldn't help but loosen his collar.

"Oh, Li Tiha is good at chess, but with the guidance of a famous teacher? This is not a little understanding."

Ten minutes later.

"Well, Go is just a sidekick. Why should Mr. Li take it seriously?"

Liang Zhongshu wiped the sweat from his forehead. For some reason, when playing chess with Li Ke, he had the feeling that he was not playing chess, but standing on the battlefield, fighting against two armies!

Every move, every piece brings a wonderful experience.

When Li Ke saw Liang Zhongshu, he couldn't help wiping his sweat. Naturally, he knew that this guy's chess ability was really average, so he started to let go.

However, his own chess skills are just like that. Although he is very good at playing the first half, how to finish the second half, let alone him, even Tang Monk Li Ke doesn't understand very well.

The reason is also very simple.

Usually when you get to this step, you have to take action. Either the chessboard was shattered, or the two sides had already started bickering or fighting.

After all, whose high-end chess game depends on the number of pieces rather than the victory?

So Li Ke cleverly started to feed Liang Zhongshu chess pieces, allowing the opponent to find his hidden magic move, but he still accidentally said, "Why can't you catch it?" ' The tragedy made the whole chess game full of dangers. Liang Zhongshu felt that his chess skills had greatly improved, and his face was red when he played!

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

But Li Ke was going crazy. He really didn't understand why Liang Zhongshu was such a bad guy. He even died without being able to catch him!

Finally, when Li Ke was about to fall asleep, Liang Zhongshu finally saw through the chess game and struck directly at the flaw that Li Ke deliberately left twenty minutes ago, sealing his victory!

Li Ke and Liang Zhongshu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but Liang Zhongshu sighed heartily and contentedly, feeling that this game of chess was really the most enjoyable and refreshing feeling in his life!

What he faced was an opponent who was equally matched with him. He racked his brains with himself and reached the top. In the end, he defeated Li Ke with a clever trick and proved his chess skills and abilities!

Li Ke was finally liberated from the boring chess game. However, Li Ke could roughly see Liang Zhongshu's thinking logic and acting style from the opponent's chess moves.

After all, the essence of playing chess is to attack the opponent with mathematical formulas one by one, and among these overwhelming attacks that require one's full concentration to deal with, one can see a person's acting style and thinking logic.

It is a roundabout outflank and a frontal attack, and it is a test and verification of a person's judgment and ability to seize opportunities.

Especially in ancient times when various Go routines were not fully formed and more emphasis was placed on personal style, each person's problem-solving ideas can naturally reveal each person's personality and problem-solving methods to a certain extent.

And Liang Zhongshu...

It's hard to evaluate Li Ke. If I really want to say it, it's mediocre.

I don’t mind using my family’s connections, but I also want to prove myself. I don’t mind clinging to the powerful, but I don’t want to be too embarrassed. You can't do a big good deed, you can only do a little good deed.

But he doesn’t want to do bad things that are too big or too small. He is a person who just gets by, but wants to climb up.

It is true that he has some talent, and it is very good, but it does not seem to be a particularly important talent. It can be said that he has ambition, but it cannot be said that he has too much. He is a rather mediocre person.

In troubled times, such people are lucky enough to be wise enough to protect themselves, but for people like Li Ke who want to cause trouble, it's different.

This is a very suitable enemy... no, the boss!

But before Liang Zhongshu was happy for a long time, the boy reported that Yang Zhi was here, so Liang Zhongshu could only stop discussing Go with Li Ke, summoned Yang Zhi in, and started talking about business.

The business he was talking about was the business Li Ke knew, which was to deliver the birthday card to Kaifeng Mansion.

"Originally, this matter was just a small matter, and it was enough to send fifty or sixty people. But bandits and bandits are everywhere these years. The convoy sent last time was an advantage to the bandits. You are very powerful and have some official business. ... Are you two willing to take a few hundred soldiers and horses with you?"

Although Liang Zhongshu was very optimistic about Li Ke's chess skills, he still wanted to investigate Li Ke, so he still looked at Li Ke and Yang Zhi. Just by the way he looked at Yang Zhi, he knew that he still trusted Yang more in this regard. Be ambitious.

And Yang Zhi also spoke without hesitation. He was worried about the opportunity to return to Tokyo to find a career, so why would he give up such an opportunity, so he no longer regarded Li Ke as a colleague, but as a competitor.

Li Ke couldn't help but sigh to himself when he looked at the birthmark on the other person's face and his impatient look.

"Sure enough, I only gave the wrong name, not the wrong nickname, so eager and ruthless..."

Li Ke didn't speak, and Yang Zhi naturally stated his plan.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhongshu, the convoy was robbed before because the target of the convoy was too big and the carriage and horses traveled too slowly. The thieves often found out the news a month ago and waited for work. In addition, the officers and soldiers were not in the battle formation for a long time, and the training was not done. No matter how good it is, we can defeat it with one blow. But as long as we take small roads, travel lightly, and only bring a dozen soldiers to carry the load, the target is small, and we only walk on small roads during the day, the bandits will naturally be defeated. Won’t find out.”

Liang Zhongshu couldn't help but nod at these words, but Li Ke couldn't help but roll his eyes.

What Liang Zhongshu gave was gold and silver jewelry worth 100,000 guan. Although it did not weigh 100,000 kilograms, it weighed at least several hundred kilograms in total. A dozen Xiang soldiers, let alone guards, were just carrying these gold and silver jewelry. This is a big problem. If someone is injured or sick during the process, the confidentiality of Yang Zhi's plan will be immediately destroyed, and it will be almost impossible to move forward.

Moreover, Yang Zhi really had no idea what level of combat effectiveness the Xiang Army had. The Xiang Army was now basically civilians and craftsmen. If these people followed the convoy and the specially guarded soldiers, they would still have some combat effectiveness and enthusiasm. Shao Shao: After all, if there is a fleet, it means that there are stations where you can rest, have free rooms and drinks, and you can even use the carriage and horse to bring some local products to sell. When you come back, you can also give Shangguan suggestions on what to buy and bring them with you. Come back and sell.

Although they were also Shangguan later, that is, they were the ones eating the bulk of the food, these Xiang soldiers could still eat some scraps and broth. Although they delayed the family's work and farmland, they could still make some money, at least not The family is hungry.

But following Yang Zhi on the small road, not to mention bringing some local products, to earn back the money for the delayed work, just carrying the gold, silver and jewelry all the way down is enough to make these Xiang soldiers seriously ill in the future. Not to mention the fighting ability, the only reason he could not escape was because he was afraid of harming his family.

And by relying solely on foot power to deliver the birthday card before Cai Jing's birthday, there is basically no need to think about rest for the day, that is, you can take a rest at night. Not to mention resting in the inn and gathering information about the surroundings, it was all based on luck.

Therefore, even if Yang Zhi does not have trouble with Chao Gai, he will still have trouble somewhere else.

As for hundreds of people being robbed?

Even if you and hundreds of people can be robbed in the Song Dynasty, it shouldn't be Yang Zhi who is worried, but the local officials.

But Yang Zhi himself vetoed the matter, which really left Li Ke speechless.

Thinking of this, Li Ke fell silent for a moment, thinking about how to avoid this errand.

But at this moment, Li Ke heard Liang Zhongshu turn his head and look at him.

"Mr. Li, what do you think? After all..."

Liang Zhongshu had an expression on his face that said, "Yang Zhi is right." He looked at Li Ke and spoke excitedly.

"...I think Yang Tiha's suggestions are very insightful."

Li Ke: “…………”

Seeing Liang Zhongshu's firm belief in Yang Zhi, Li Ke was speechless for a while, because he completely realized one thing.

Yang Zhi is stupid.

But how could the Liang Zhongshu in front of him be a mean person? He was also a classic specialty of the Song Dynasty—waste snacks!
