Chapter 32 Hidden Here
The old man who came was nothing but the old man who bought the land by Tao Jin. Yuanbao was very uncomfortable because he had never been to such a remote place. At this time, he saw Tao Jin greeting the old man and knew that this must have been what Tao Jin thought in advance.
This was indeed what Tao Jin had thought before, because Tao Jin knew in his heart that Yuchi Gong was about to leave according to time. So when Tao Jin was buying land, he thought that after Yuchi Gong left, he would hide here.
As for the reason, it is very simple: After Yuchi Gong goes here, he is afraid that the King of Qi and others will return to the court soon and clear Xiangxue out. The King of Qi will not let him go easily, and he may cause trouble at that time. It is naturally the best to hide like this! After waiting for a long time, the King of Qin will also come back. By that time, the King of Qi will naturally not care about him.
Tao Jin's little abacus was very good, and he hid here, so he could still take care of his treasures and let them bear a lot of fruits.
When the old man saw that he had money and there was a reason to refuse, he immediately cleaned up two rooms with his wife. Although it was not good, it was a little better than Tao Jin's dilapidated wine shop. At least the utensils in the house were quite new.
Tao Jin and Yuanbao carefully settled all their things, and it was not too early. After eating some leftover cakes, they both lay down so tired.
Yuanbao was quite uncomfortable when he first arrived here, but this farmer family also had the fun of the farmer family. Yuanbao lay down for a while and went out for a walk, but he fell in love with it. Maybe when he was young, he lacked fun, so he was so happy to play here.
Tao Jin is different from Yuanbao. He has some serious business here. Now that he has money, Tao Jin not only wants to cut off the wine shop and rebuild a large restaurant, but also wants to make this good wine that the Tang Dynasty did not have!
In Tao Jin's thoughts, it was a great regret to have vegetables but not wine. After all, there were a few people who went to restaurants to eat without drinking, and this wine was also a big selling point! Tao Jin was lying on the bed and thinking. When he was late, the old man sent some dishes, which saved Tao Jin's trouble. However, the ingot was quite sad. After all, the old man's dishes could be compared with those made by Tao Jin.
Although he left Chang'an City, Tao Jin's plan was not messy. His next step was to cut off the wine shop and build a restaurant, which was to start to try his own dishes and make his own dishes become popular before the restaurant was opened. So although Tao Jin hid here, there were actually many things to do.
The nights in the mountains are more comfortable than in Chang'an City and are not as hot as they are. Tao Jin and Yuanbao are celebrating the cool air in the yard while talking.
Tao Jin liked the days in the mountains because he felt comfortable and didn't have so much calculations. But Tao Jin knew that he would still have to go back to live the life he wanted, and this was just a temporary resting place for him.
"Young Master, do you think Mr. Yuchi is here now?" Because three people have always been together, Yuanbao missed the Yuchi Gong who had just left during the day.
Yuanbao had never left the door, so he didn't know how far the journey was. He felt that he would ride a fast horse and walk for a day, and that journey would be far away. Tao Jin smiled secretly and thought to himself: If this was in modern times, he would probably have arrived! But this is the Tang Dynasty, and it would take time to get there!
"It's so fast there! You're too anxious!" Tao Jin looked at the stars in the sky and said softly. In fact, he was also worried about Yuchi Gong in his heart, and he was secretly worried about Yuchi Gong, and he was thinking about what he gave Yuchi Gong. I wonder if he could help him.
Tao Jin and Yuanbao looked at the stars in the sky, and were stunned. The old man saw it in the yard and turned to his wife and said, "Look at this rich man, he is just a carefree man. You can watch the stars for a long time!" After that, he went back to the house, blew the light and went to bed.
Yuanbao and Tao Jin were both thinking about Yuchi Gong, but Yuchi Gong was the same. But when he left the door, Yuchi Gong rushed to the battlefield. Although there were prosperous places along the way, there were also many refugees.
These refugees were living in a difficult situation because they were hiding from war all the way. When they met the people who were coming and going, they usually rushed forward and took advantage of the chaos to steal other people's food and silver.
Yuchi Gong relied on his tall figure and fierce look on his face and was holding a weapon, so he didn't dare to come with him, so he went smoothly along the way.
While resting on the road, Yuchi Gong took the big cake that Tao Jin made for him to satisfy his hunger. The big cake was made by Tao Jin with oil and noodles. It not only could be stored for a long time, but also tasted good. As soon as the cake was taken out, it immediately attracted a lot of people. However, most people didn't recognize this thing, but just smelled the fragrance and leaned forward. Yuchi Gong didn't care about these people, but just shook his cheeks and ate his own food until one of them took advantage of Yuchi Gong's inattention and snatched the big cake in Yuchi Gong's hand.
The one who grabbed the big cake in Yuchi Gong's hand was just a teenager with a little clever eyebrows and a face that was pale. You could tell at a glance that he had been hungry for a long time.
The child snatched Yuchi Gong's big cake and filled it into his mouth without saying a word. Yuchi Gong was determined to snatch the big cake back, but seeing that he was just a child, he thought that he still had some dry food, so he didn't care about it.
However, the child saw that Yuchi Gong did not hit him, and actually approached Yuchi Gong and looked at him with his eyes. Yuchi Gong knew that such refugees could not let them go too far, otherwise they would be able to gain a slight dilemma and peel you alive, so he was not moved.
"You are a good man, please show me a way!" The child was very smart. Seeing that Yuchi Gong didn't care about him, he did not greedily reach out to get Yuchi Gong's bag, but begged to Yuchi Gong.
Yuchi Gong frowned, knowing that he had something to do. Although he felt sorry for this child, he also knew that this was not the time to be kind.
"Don't beg me, I'm going to that battlefield!" Yuchi Gong couldn't help but warn him when he saw that he was still leaning on him.
"Uncle, wherever you are going, I came from there. Uncle only needs to give me a bite of food. I will take the uncle there when he goes there!" The child did not retreat after hearing Yuchi Gong's words, but said so.
The child wrapped a piece of cake in his hand into his clothes. At this time, some people were gradually surrounding him, and the child leaned against Yuchi Gong again.
Yuchi Gong poked the single whip to the ground and said, "I will take you with you in this way, but if this is a life-successful, don't blame me!"
The child nodded in surprise and smiled: "I may still have a living life with my uncle, otherwise I wouldn't be able to survive for a day!" As he said that, he pointed at a group of refugees over there.
Yuchi Gong followed the child's hand and saw a group of refugees surrounding a stove, holding the child's leg bones in his hand and gnawing.
Yuchi Gong was angry and didn't say anything he wouldn't let the child follow him. Because he knew that if he saw him and didn't take him away, he would probably have been eaten sooner or later.
After eating dry food, Yuchi Gong held the child and got on the horse. The child hesitated for a moment and sat on it. Yuchi Gong felt that the child in his hand seemed very light and thought he was a refugee and hungry person, but he didn't care. He even asked immediately: "Baby, what's your name? But there are still family members?"
The child showed a bitter smile and said for a long time: "My name is Man'er. My father said that there is a relative in Chang'an!"
Yuchi Gong thought to himself that when he saw the King of Qin, he would send someone to send him to Chang'an.
Man'er is a quiet child. He had nothing to say along the way, and even the food was very small. Because the closer he got to the battlefield, the more refugees he had, he didn't dare to leave Yuchi Gong.
When we arrived at the Luoyang territory, we were covered with scars, but there were barren fields and empty houses without anyone to live in. Man'er's little black face was wiped along the way, a little solemn.
Yuchi Gong patted Taotao on the shoulder and said, "When I arrive at the place, I will send it to you Chang'an!"
Man'er didn't say anything, just looked at everything around him. At this moment, he heard the sound of horse hooves around him, which should be the brigade of horses. Yuchi Gong hurriedly took Man'er into the broken room, and saw a pair of black-armored knights walking here on horseback, and they all got off the horse and stopped! Among the pair, the one walking in front was Yuchi Gong's old acquaintance, Li Yuanji, King of Qi.
Yuchi Gong sneaked into the room and knew that he was resting on the way. Man'er was very sensible, and he didn't even say anything. Yuchi Gong knew that they would come in to check if there were anyone in the room after a while, so he was in a precaution and hurriedly covered himself and Man'er with a broken mat against the door.
Sure enough, a soldier came to check it out soon, saying that it was just a rough look, and he gave up when he saw that there was no one. Someone had already found a clean place for Li Yuanji in the yard of the house and sat down. Coincidentally, the place where he sat was a small stone on the wall of the house. Li Yuanji took the water bag handed over by his subordinate and took a sip, then glanced over, and saw that the guards were already on the ground, so he felt relieved.
When King Li Yuanji of Qi went to the war this time, he was following behind to get credit. As for his real ability to fight, it was not his business, so his army suffered the least losses.
However, there is a downfall. If the King of Qi is endless on the battlefield, then there will naturally be fewer people who defect. After all, who defects, they don’t want to defect to someone who truly recognizes the goods or the one who just follows behind to get credit. You will not have a great future, or if there is a future, it will be his turn to you.
The one who followed the King of Qi was Wei Han, who was full of bad water. Because there were no one around, they were all the confidants of the King of Qi, so the King of Qi Li Yuanji did not have much concern about speaking.
"Did you explain it clearly to Wang Shichong?" Li Yuanji drank the water and asked. "Don't worry, your highness, what I said was clear. I have told him that I can chase the King of Qin in Beim Mountain tomorrow! He also understood that only when the King of Qin died would he have a way out!" Wei Han said with a sinister smile.
"Does he know your identity?" Li Yuanji smiled with satisfaction and continued to ask.
"According to your command, I tell him that I am the Crown Prince's member! This will fail. The Qin King hates His Highness, and it has nothing to do with you!" Wei Han lowered his body slightly and continued.
"Okay, treat him like this and kill Li Shimin. I will go out and destroy him. Then Li Shimin's subordinates must all defect to me!" Li Yuanji said proudly.
"What news is there in Chang'an? Don't lose sight of one thing?" Li Yuanji, who had a smile on his lips, paused for a while and said again.
"There is no big news, but Xiangxue left and did not continue to stay with Tao Jin. She continued to stare at Yuchi Gong and Tao Jin!" Wei Han paused for a moment and said.
"What a bitch, I dare not even listen to my words!" Li Yuanji grabbed the whip's hand, grabbed it hard, and cursed.
"Where is Yuchi Gong? But it's still with Tao Jin. It's because Yuchi Gong knew what happened, so he ran away, right?" Li Yuanji asked in a bad tone.
"Not that, Fei Ge didn't mention it in the letter! Your Highness did such a secret thing at that time. If you think of Yuchi Gong, you would never think that what happened at that time was related to you!" Wei Han said respectfully.
