Chapter 59: Dai Yu, the Dedicated Life
The party was extremely enthusiastic, and the copper coins were piled up like mountains. The fisherman flipped the merit book and read the rewards according to the size of the merits. It was quite like Liangshanpo was made into powder and small scales to share gold. At the end of the trip, many Hun children had to drive carriages to pull copper coins home. The poor Hun men suddenly became local tyrants, and they felt like they won lottery tickets in later generations.
Yun Xiao held the bowl and looked at the people who were receiving the reward. The Luan family soldiers were jealous. Although they had already received the reward of five jin of money, they still felt itchy when they saw the generous rewards from the Huns. The wealth was touching, and many Luan family soldiers had the intention of following the eldest lady to stay in the Yun family.
The gains in this war were huge. The team was trained and the equipment was tested. And they also obtained such a huge amount of gold. There were so many cows and horses that the Yun family's fence could hardly be accommodated. However, the price was also huge. At least Canghu and Huantian had to lie in the village for half a year. Most of the Hun men were injured and very tired. As for the Luan family's soldiers, it was not one or two who were missing their arms and legs.
Yun Xiao was very glad that he had let the fifty merchants with dreams of making money back. Otherwise, I really didn't know how many people would die in that tragic offensive and defensive battle.
The Damascus-style scimitar proves its reliability. After cutting so many heads, there is no curling blade. If the iron-tied crossbow and the three-bow bed crossbow are replaced, there will be no trouble of frequently changing the crossbow strings. At present, what I lack most is armor. The name of the General of the Vehicle and Cavalry and Marquis of Lintong allows Yun Xiao to publicly raise nine hundred guards. Of course, this is considered a private soldier, and Yun Xiao has to give out the money for raising soldiers.
These Hun men were Yun Xiao's ideal light armored cavalry. As long as they were equipped with light armor, they would be invincible in this world. If they wanted to recruit personal guards in the future, they would probably recruit some heavy infantry. Yun Xiao, the canned man in the entire battle, was still very eager. When Yun Xiao thought of him having a group of fully armed canned man, he was a little excited.
The excited people always snatch the wine and drink it after drinking a huge hu of steamed wine with Cang Xiong.
Yun Xiao fell to the ground with a thud.
It was not Wei Ya who took care of Yun Xiao, but Luan Ling. In Yun Xiao's words, he was so big that he pretended to be an egg. On the contrary, Yan Xian, the real lady, had not passed the door yet, and could only watch her lover lying in the arms of another woman. She returned to the Yan family's yard with silver teeth, and the smell of acetic acid all over her body spread far away.
Pure grain wine will also be on the rise. Yun Xiao deeply despised the celebrities who advertise grain wine. Yun Xiao woke up early the next morning and was in a split headache. He struggled to drink water and found that it was Luan Ling lying beside him. He quickly stopped moving. He tiptoed out of the bed, found a kettle, and poured all the cold white blooms that had been overnight in one breath.
Luan Ling heard the sound and opened her eyes and sat up, and wanted to pour water for Yun Xiao's face.
"You are pregnant with your child, have a good rest." Yun Xiao pressed Luan Ling's shoulder to prevent Luan Ling from getting up.
"It's okay, no good woman doesn't serve her husband." Luan Ling twisted her body and broke free from Yun Xiao's hand. She personally gave Yun Xiao a wash water and tried the temperature with her hands. Then she brought it over, took the towel and twisted it to wipe Yun Xiao's face.
Feeling the warmth of feudal society, Yun Xiao despised himself for his whole life. Damn, when his wife was pregnant, she had to drink slag porridge at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night. At 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, she didn't get that thing. Yun Xiao drove around until five o'clock in the morning to buy the thing at a breakfast stall, but the woman actually said she had no appetite and didn't move.
Damn, the money is enough to buy a bag of corn shreds.
After wiping his face, he hurriedly ate some steamed buns, rice porridge and pickles brought by Wei. He comforted Luan Ling to sleep, and then walked into the main courtyard in three steps. Today is the last day of betting with the old charlatan, and it is time to show off with the old charlatan. If the old charlatan is cheating, he will want him to look good.
The entire head of the stone figurine was exposed on the ground, and the face with mud looked a little weird. The old charlatan was facing the stone figurine for luck, and his hands kept alternating his fists and palms, as if he was planning to use his powerful spiritual power to press the stone figurine back.
Seeing the old charlatan's unyielding look on his face, Yun Xiao happily ordered someone to call the Big Iron Hammer.
"Mr. Sima invited me, I wonder what Mr. Sima thinks?"
Yun Xiao smiled and greeted him, bowing to the old charlatan who was performing a qigong performance.
"I admit defeat, but this trick is what the Marquis of Lintong wants to teach me."
The old charlatan was unwilling to give up, and his strong curiosity drove him to know the whole story. He sat here for three days, but thought about it for three days, but his head was broken but he couldn't figure it out.
"It's easy to say, as long as you teach him the method of drawing silk, I will teach you this method of stone statues, one method will change the other method and the other method will not be deceived."
Yun Xiao hurried over with his hand, holding a big hammer with half a bun in his mouth.
"I have to eat something first."
He didn't eat much for three days, so how could he have the energy to play such a strong job? When Yun Xiao waved his hand, a servant took Sima Jizhu to have breakfast.
"After a while, you go and learn how to draw wires with that old guy. This is very important. Our iron-tied crossbow string is too fragile. After learning this thing, we can replace it. In addition, after learning this thing, we can set up a larger cable car on the mountain to transport more carbon."
"I know the ruler." After the big hammer said in a muffled voice, he went to find the old charlatan.
Yun Xiao was not afraid of Sima Jizhu playing with flowers. Now he is a cat with great curiosity. If he didn't tell him about planting stone statues, he would probably not have left even after he chased the old charlatan away.
After breakfast, the Yun family was full of vitality.
The families in the yard moved out the quilts that had been covered for a winter and dried them in the warm sun. Wei Ya tied a big bow and used it as a swing in the garden. Wei Qing followed Xiaobai out to patrol his territory, and his bag was so bulging that it was filled with rock candy.
Aunt Wei was directing several servants to take out the silk gifts given by the emperor in the warehouse, and take advantage of the sunshine to dry the insects. The brocade exuded a soft luster in the sun, and it was festive to dry the yard. Even the Huantian, whose body had just recovered, was carried out by the disciples of the Wushu Sect, and was warmed in the sun.
Everyone had smiles on their faces, and yesterday's rewards were very generous. Everyone was very satisfied. The Hun men went to Xianyang in groups. It was said that they were going to buy things, and they hoped that they would not bring a cart of girls back in the evening.
Standing at the door and watching for a while, the old man on the farm was basking in the sun and chatting at the wall. The children lined up to scratch Xiaobai, and then asked Wei Qing, who was looking bitter, for rock candy. The women were packing up their homes, and a pot of hot pig food was poured into the trough. The fat-headed and big-eared guys were humming and eating happily. The farmers in the farm were working hard, hoping for a good harvest this year.
Harmonious society, a truly harmonious society.
There was only one disharmony. Yun Xiao was patrolling the yard of the male servant and accidentally found fourteen guys with shackles. He lay dirty under the wall, and the sun was warm like an old man. Wei Dongbao and his brothers were holding swords, guns and sticks to guard them.
What surprised Yun Xiao was that Zi Feng was there too. And he was applying ointment to Dai Yu. It seemed that this guy's leg injury should be healed.
"Take their shackles away."
Yun Xiao said to Wei Dongbao.
"promise"
It was a terrible moment, and all the fourteen torture instruments were removed. The wounds that were ground by the iron torture instruments were shocking.
"Since Zifeng you like to treat it, just treat it for them."
After Yun Xiao said that, he turned around and wanted to leave. He didn't want to waste the great time on these prisoners. There was a goddess in his family who needed to be a slaughter. This is a blessing he had cultivated for two lifetimes and must be cherished.
"Why let me go, aren't you afraid that we will run away?"
"Escape? Then let's go. You are now rebels. I believe you already know the news that the King of Wu has been defeated. Wherever you like, go, or go back to Wu and become bandits. I won't stop you, but you will definitely be captured by the government when you leave the Yun family's sphere of influence. There is a list of articles to capture you, Dai Yu in Xianyang City. Lao Yu comes back and says that your cap is worth 200 trump cards.
Look, your fellow villagers are starting to pay attention to your neck.”
Yun Xiao pointed to Wei Dongbao holding the ring-headed sword.
"What do you want?"
Dai Yu closed his eyes, of course he knew that the King of Wu had been defeated. Last night, the Huns were shouting and roaring at the grand dinner, and Yun Xiao's servants sang and danced again, and he could hear it clearly in the cell. And last night was the first time in these days that he and his brothers had eaten meat, and it was still hot beef. Although it was not much, it was quite rare.
"What, not what. I just don't want the number one swordsman in Jingchu to die like this, being caught by a group of unknown officers or rangers. He was killed like a dog, and then took you and your brothers' heads to the yamen to receive rewards. No one in the Yun family would do this, but I can't control it from the Yun family. After all, the world belongs to the emperor, and I am just a small marquis who has limited ground management."
"I'm not going to let me live, but I'm going to work hard for you."
"Salary, this word is good. Since you want to sell it, you can pay a price. Just rely on your name as the number one swordsman in Jingchu. You can buy it as long as I can buy it. How about it?"
"really?"
"You're like this, do I need to lie to you?"
"Okay, rescue my brother's family. If they participate in the rebellion, their family will definitely be demoted to untouchables. They have followed me for many years, as long as you settle them with their family. My life will be sold to you."
Dai Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes looked at Yun Xiao with his brilliance.
"Don't look at me like this, I'm not used to it. If they think you want to kill me and cut you and your brother down, it would be worth it. Your conditions are affectionate, and I agree. Tell him your family's names and addresses, and he is also a surrendered soldier from your Wu Kingdom. Tomorrow he will set off to bring your brother's family and their own family to Yunjiazhuang."
Yun Xiao pointed to Wei Dongbao holding the ring-headed sword.
Wei Dongbao and his eight brothers knelt on the ground together, thanking Yun Xiao for his kindness.
Dai Yu closed his eyes in pain, and he knew that from then on his life would be Yun Xiao's.
