Chapter 76 The Fat Sheep Delivered to Your Door? (Chapter Two in One)
According to the prices of the Tang Dynasty at that time, seeds and other things were not counted. Let’s talk about cows. A strong bull was 4,200 liters, and the most common one was 80 liters. Not to mention the war horses, the Turkic Dunma was 9,400 liters.
After a rough calculation, the value of the thing Han Fu promised at that time was at least 500 stagnant, how could he not be dizzy?
You know, the annual taxes in Shuozhou Prefecture may not be more than 500 jin. Now that he drinks this small wine, the annual taxes in Shuozhou will be gone.
It seems that Li Muyun really relies on the mountains and water to eat water, but the mountains and water are all Han Fu.
Thinking of this, Han Fu, who was about to faint, sat up again: "No, this doesn't work, what about Li Muyun? Where is he now?"
"Let's go!" The "Three Sons" who thought Han Fu was about to faint were startled by him and said stammeringly:
"Let's go? Hurry up, send someone to chase him!" Han Fu hurriedly said when he heard that Li Muyun had left.
But he didn't expect that the yamen runner shook his head: "Sir, you have been sleeping for a day and a night, I'm afraid you can't catch me even if you send someone out."
What? One day and one night? Han Fu was stunned for a moment: "You mean I slept in the official office for a day and one night?"
"Yes, my subordinates saw that you were so drunk that they didn't send you back." The "Three Son" replied.
Looking at this enthusiastic confidant subordinate, Han Fu didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Don't he know... Forget it, don't think about it anymore, but think about how he explained to the tigress at home what he went to last night.
...
On the official road leading to Shanyin County, Li Muyun was dozing in the carriage. The cold wind was raging outside the carriage, and the cold wind blew into the car through the curtains, causing him to shrink his neck unconsciously.
The trip to the city was generally successful. In addition to knocking out a lot of seeds and oxen, he brought some weapons and war horses. Although I don’t know if Han Fu would send them all to him, this was at least a good start.
After all, if you rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and water to eat the water, how could Li Muyun let him go so easily by guarding Shuozhou to enslave this big tree?
"Hey, Muyun, have you slept?" While half-dream and half-awake, the voice of the three fat men came from the front.
"Bangbang" Li Muyun kicked the carriage a few times, which gave the three fat men a reply.
The damn weather changes as soon as possible, and there is no sign of any sign. It was originally fine when I got up in the morning, but it started to snow shortly after I got on the road. The north wind was whizzing. Li Muyun and his team were six without any preparations. Uh, the seven people were stunned by the cold in an instant.
"Do you think the Han surname will send us something? You knocked it hard this time, and I guess he will be liable to the debt." The three fat man's voice vaguely entered the carriage, obviously he was frozen enough, but maybe because he was too excited, although this guy was frozen enough, he was still sexually irritated with Li Muyun.
"Bang" This time Li Muyun kicked the carriage, which was a reply to the three fat men.
"Although I said that, I still don't feel anything in my mind. What if he doesn't give it to us? You are just an empty marquis, you can't blow him or pull him long!"
"Bangbang"
"You're so sure? I mean what if!"
"Bang"
"Okay, that's your ruthless!"
This is a communication method that is difficult for outsiders to understand. The five minions looked at the three fat men with strange eyes, wondering how he could hear what Li Muyun said from one and two knocks without any difference.
However, the three fat men were happy and talked for nearly an hour with this communication method.
Just as the three fat guys were having fun, a minion suddenly turned back from the front and said with some uncertainty: "Three Village Master, it seems that there is something wrong with the front, look at it."
"What's wrong?" The three fat men sat in the carriage and looked into the distance but found nothing.
But the minion pointed to a further place in front and said, "It's that!"
"Where?!" The three fat man sat on the shaft of the carriage and looked at it for a long time but still found nothing.
"Over there, look at the black one, is it smoke?" The minion saw that the three fat guys couldn't see it, and was a little anxious. He jumped from the front and pointed to the place where there seemed to be a forest.
"What's wrong with the smoke? Are you afraid that a monster will come out to eat it?" The three fat man rolled his eyes impatiently, sneering at the minion's excessive nervousness.
"No, the three village masters, there is no village in front of the wilderness, how could someone make a fire in the wilderness? Don't you find it strange?"
"What's the matter? Maybe the businessmen who are in contact with each other are tired of walking." The three fat man said disrespectfully.
"Okay, fat man, he was right. There seems to be something wrong there. Prepare and let's go and take a look." Li Muyun, who had not spoken, spoke rarely, and determined the next move in one sentence.
"Why?" The three fat man asked a little depressed and a little depressed, without Li Muyun's support.
"As it, this place is too remote. What you said about business rest is impossible. They will never rest in such a place regardless of their safety." Li Chengqian patted the fat man on the shoulder, thought for a while and told him: "If you cheer up, the other party may not be a good way."
Hearing that Li Muyun was so serious, the three fat men couldn't help but feel nervous: "That's better than our detour..."
"I just want to go around. There is only one way here. If you take a detour, you can only climb mountains. Do you think we horses can climb over?" Li Muyun was speechless to the three fat men.
This guy is a typical bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. He knows that there may be someone with unknown origins in front of him, and he will be timid immediately. If he had known that he would be like this, he would rather not bring him out.
Continuing along the way, the three fat men stopped talking soon, their mouths closed tightly, and they looked extremely nervous.
The five minions placed their hands on the horizontal knife behind them, which was quite ready to fight desperately at any time.
As the distance got closer, they could see several tall horses tied outside a small wood, but strangely, none of these horses had saddles and were just padded on them with something similar to linen.
Seeing this situation, everyone was extremely nervous because there were no one else except those who could ride horses like savages.
At this moment, a dozen men wearing animal skins flickered out in the forest. It was cold and they looked very barbaric with only one animal skin on them. If Li Muyun hadn't pressed the three fat men, this guy would have fallen from the shaft of the car.
However, it is strange that after the men came out of the forest, they did not pounce on them as the three fat men expected. Anyway, they solemnly bowed and called out an inappropriate greeting, and said in stiff Tang Dynasty mantras: "Khitan Dieti, Dieti Wood!"
Obviously, this is the guy reporting his own house.
On the carriage, the three fat men looked back nervously at Li Muyun: "What, what are you doing?"
"Come with me." Li Muyun patted the three fat men on the shoulders.
When he was sleepy, someone gave him a pillow. Some time ago, he was saying that he wanted to go to the Khitan, but he didn't expect that the Khitans had not yet arrived, so the Khitans came first.
...
Jumping out of the carriage and taking the three fat men, Li Muyun came to several shirtless Khitans wearing fur coats, and also hugged and clasped their fists, then said, "Dang Dynasty, Li Muyun."
"Dang Dynasty, Li Jiade!" The three fat men imitated Li Muyun and also hugged each other.
This was the first time Li Muyun knew the name of the three fat men. He couldn't help but look at him curiously and thought to himself, why don't you call him Xijiade? This name sounds so festive.
However, before Li Muyun could think too much, the Khitan people on the opposite side spoke again: "Li, Li Muyun, can you take us to see the Shuozhou Assassin?"
After hearing the other party’s question, Li Muyun was secretly alert and asked, “Do you know me?”
The incident where he met Han Fu only happened in one or two days. It would be impossible for him to know if he was not a very familiar person or the person who had been following him during this period.
However, what surprised Li Muyun even more was that the other party shook his head: "I don't know you, I just hope you can take us to see the Shuozhou sect, we won't treat you badly." After saying that, a fox fur was pulled out from the backpack of a man behind him: "As long as you see the sect, this fox fur will be yours."
What's the situation? Li Muyun and the three fat men looked at each other, thinking that no one would be so naturally, right? I just want someone to take them to see the highest commander in a state? Isn't this a bullshit!
But there are so many nonsense things in this world. When the man named Dietoumu saw that the two of them didn't say anything, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He stuffed the pure white fox skin in his hand into Li Muyun's hand: "If you take us to see the envoy, you can give you the gift first."
Damn, this time I really met Kaizi. Li Muyun remained calm on the surface, but almost burst into laughter in her heart.
If such a cute Kaizi let go, I would be really sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth.
Thinking of this, Li Muyun coughed, looked at the man and said in a very sincere tone: "This Khitan brother, I cannot accept your gift before I complete your commission."
"This..." The man didn't seem to expect Li Muyun to reject him, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Fortunately, Li Muyun did not give him a chance to think too much. After pushing the fox fur back into his hand, he continued, "If you don't mind, can you tell me what you are going to do with the sect master?"
"Of course this is possible." The man nodded, and then talked about his purpose in coming to the Tang Dynasty.
It turns out that this man's true identity is the young leader of the Diesh tribe, one of the eight Khitan tribes. His main purpose of coming to the Tang Dynasty was to seek help.
The reason is that this year's winter seems to be a little earlier than in previous years, and heavy snow is nearly a month earlier than in previous years. Although Shuozhou has just ushered in the first snow, in fact, the Khitan tribe had already closed the door with heavy snow half a month ago.
It is precisely because of this that the Dieshu tribe did not have time to complete the preparation for winter. Seeing that the tribe continued like this, the tribe members would not be able to survive the whole winter, Dieshu Mu had the idea of coming to the Tang Dynasty for help.
In his opinion, the Khitan had all joined the Tang Dynasty, and as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, he should be able to get help from the Tang Dynasty.
But he never thought that the landlords did not have that much surplus, let alone support others in this way.
You should know that if the Tang Dynasty wanted to support the Khitan, it would have to travel thousands of miles to transport the forage and grain, and this transportation also required some of the food and grass to consume. The price that the Tang Dynasty had to pay was too high, and it was far less enjoyable to let these alien races die on their own.
Li Muyun saw through this point, so he had no hope of Diezumu going to see Han Fu. Not to mention him, even if Brother Dahe Gu who took over as the governor of Songmo came, he might not be able to get any grain from Han Fu.
However, although Li Muyun figured out these things, he did not tell Dieshumu. He just lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "Young Master Dieshuma, I can ask my people to take you to Shuozhou City, or recommend Han Fu, the sect, to you..."
"Really, really? Thank you, thank you so much!" Dieshumu didn't wait for Li Muyun to finish his words, and at the same time he stuffed the skin in his hand into his hand. The fat man felt very distressed when he saw it.
In the end, Li Muyun still didn't resist the thorny wood and had to put away the white fox fur.
However, Li Muyun didn't want to take advantage of Ditami Wood for nothing. After collecting the fox fur, he said again: "Dietami Wood, I don't have much hope to go to Shuozhou this time, but if you insist on going there, I can't stop you."
Unexpectedly, the cute Dieshumu smiled bitterly: "Li Muyun, I can see that you are a good person and believe in your judgment. But it is related to the life and death of the Dieshu tribe. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will go there, not ask for anything else, just to be at peace!"
Li Muyun's previous life was a killer. In his eyes, the view of right and wrong, the view of good and evil was different from that of ordinary people.
The Khitan clan may not be important to the Tang Dynasty, and perhaps many people do not care about their life or death.
But for Li Muyun, just by saying "Diet Mu", he recognized this person in his heart. His original perfunctory thoughts had changed a little. After looking at him seriously for a while, he asked seriously: "Can you answer a question?"
"Ask." Dieshumu said.
"Why are you so sure that I can let you see the Shuozhou Assassin?"
"Because of your carriage and your guards, how could ordinary people have such a big show when traveling? So when I saw you, I felt that you were at least 80% sure that you could know the sect. Even if you didn't, you would find others to guide me for the sake of the fox fur."
So that's how it is. Li Muyun smiled bitterly and shook his head. It's a pity that he thought this guy was a natural fool just now. Now it seems that this guy is not only not stupid, but has a different kind of cleverness.
