After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 246 Better to live than to die

   After all, bandits are everywhere now, and the guards of big families are stronger.

   "Yeah, I left a little bit." Ding Zuodong said, "However, the Li family and the Shu family are doing the opposite, and are also buying property aggressively. They are the most important weathervanes. If they don't leave, most people will not leave either."

   "They saw our demeanor and wanted to take a gamble?"

   "The properties of these two families are spread all over Xiazhou, and the most important thing is to be wealthy, so they can't move easily." Otherwise, it will hurt the bones.

  He Lingchuan sneered: "Gambling. After the summer swamp is dried, the biggest crocodiles will die at the bottom of the swamp."

  Ding Zuodong cautiously: "But they bet right?"

   "It's right this time." He Lingchuan patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, good news from the front line is coming. Those who have confidence in the He family and Dunyu should be rewarded."

  Ding Zuodong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but felt that the young master's words were meaningful.

   "Okay, how much money do you have left?"

  When Ding Zuodong heard this, he hurriedly reported the account to He Lingchuan, and reported it without any omission.

  In the past six days, he has attacked everywhere, and has won many high-quality assets for He Lingchuan non-stop.

  What is good, what is bad, and what is poisonous, he has long seen in his eyes. He was suffering from poverty before, but now he can use other people's money to operate.

  He hasn't been so energetic in a long time.

  In just a few days, more than 80,000 of He Lingchuan's 100,000 taels of silver went out, of which more than 10,000 taels were sent out today, and the remaining money on the account is only more than 10,000.

  Ding Zuodong was still full of ideas, wishing he could continue chopping his hands.

   "When the situation in Dunyu stabilizes and people are confident again, you can at least make back more than double the money just by selling these properties."

  He Lingchuan shook his head: "Twice is too little."

  How many mortal livelihoods can the price of a purple gold pestle be worth?

   "These are long-term businesses." Ding Zuodong laughed, "The usual rental income is endless."

  Can generate a steady stream of cash flow, that is a good asset.

  He Lingchuan took out a note: "Since I have a medicine shop, you go and collect these medicinal materials for me and give them to Yao Yuan Lingguang." Now he buys medicine at cost price.

  Speaking of it, he wanted to make money, but his original intention was just that he thought that Yin and Yang San would burn too much money, and he was afraid of sitting on nothing. How did it become such a big stall?

   Hey, I'm really asking for trouble for myself.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, he called Shan Youjun to stop him: "By the way, Jiao Tai was released in the evening, you can go and take him away." Then he threw a sign and a silver coin, "After staying in the prison for so many days, His injury is unlikely to get better, so you use this card to go back to Xiangtang to see a doctor and pay for medicine, and pay my bill; you pass this money to Jiao Tai, and it is my favor."

   Shan Youjun was overjoyed, his feet softened again.

  He Lingchuan had sharp eyes and quick hands, and grabbed him: "Stop kneeling, get out!"

   This kid cared about Jiao Tai in his heart, so he was considered affectionate and righteous; this kid clearly cared about him, but he didn't ask about it for six days, so he was considered a bit of a city.

  The people Sun Hongye recruited are okay.

  ￥￥￥￥￥￥

  Before going to bed that night, He Lingchuan patted the broken knife: "Remember, I will arrange a battle with Monsanto tonight."

   Sure enough, when he entered the Coiling Dragon Dreamland, he simply appeared in the Martial Arts Hall.

  In the past few days, he has been practicing with Meng San, which shows that Duan Dao can indeed understand his words.

  He walked to the edge of the north courtyard of Yuewu Hall, and patted the fence hard: "Meng San, come out!"

  Seeing him, Meng San became impatient: "Are you here for a competition, or for torture?"

  He beat this kid back and forth, and everyone else would have died four times. How could this guy surnamed He come to him one-on-one the next day?

   Could it be that the crisp sound of bone fractures and fractures he heard were all fake?

  He Lingchuan’s aggressive method only has three words, but it has been tried and tested:

   "Are you scared?"

  White steam is coming out of Meng Shan's nostrils. He strode through the tower and walked to the south courtyard.

  As soon as his figure appeared, the audience in the North and South Academy knew that there was something exciting to watch, and immediately gathered together, some whistled, and some cheered for He Lingchuan.

   Repeated battles and repeated defeats are very sad; but repeated defeats and repeated battles can also make people look at each other with admiration.

   Especially the opponent who broke the knife is Meng San, a man like a violent bear. Even the soldiers of the Gale Army in the North Campus were unwilling to fight him.

  The skinny man got out of nowhere, and he was full of energy: "The market has opened, and the market has opened, so let's bet how long the broken knife can last today!"

  In the past few days, although He Lingchuan has never won, his persistence is getting longer every day. The thin man took advantage of this to make a big fuss and actually made a lot of money.

  He Lingchuan also joined in, and threw a silver coin at him: "Skinny man, buy me and hold on for a quarter of an hour!"

   "Okay!"

   "Then I won't be able to persist if I buy it!" Meng San pressed his knuckles with a straight face, "Tell me, how do you want to die today?"

  He Lingchuan waved his hand: "No hurry, let me ask you a question first."

   "Speak." In front of such a beating-shaped sandbag, Meng San had a rare good temper.

   "Have you ever competed with the Red General?"

   "Of course." Otherwise, how could he be convinced and willing to surrender?

   "Did he beat you easily?"

  Monsan rolled his eyes and stretched out three fingers:

   "Only five moves."

  He was very proud in his words: "Some of those guys in the North Court can't survive two moves at all!"

   Two Gale Army soldiers were unconvinced and yelled at him on the fence: "It's not because you are fat!"

   Heavy tonnage is also cost.

  He Lingchuan took a long breath.

  The road is endless, this is really not a joke.

  Long road ahead.

  …

  It was a sunny night with no wind or snow.

  The weather was beautiful, and the Zhan family's convoy went south smoothly. After driving for nearly forty miles at night, they finally arrived in Bu County.

  Following this team, there are nearly 20,000 civilians, business travelers, and minor nobles.

  Bu County itself has a resident population of only 170,000, so there is no room for these uninvited guests. Besides, it's not yet dawn, and the curfew is not over, so no one can go in.

  The Zhan family stood at the gate of the city for a long time to negotiate, but the upright Chengmen Lang refused to enter.

   Therefore, everyone can only set up tents to rest in the open space outside the county seat. If you want to keep warm, you only need to go one step late, and you will find that all the firewood in the grove has been picked up by others.

   Escape is like this, don’t expect to see other people’s hot faces, don’t expect to be able to drink hot water on the road.

  For the top figures of the Zhan family and many nobles, they have never been so downcast in their life.

  But when they thought that Dunyu City, which they had escaped from, would soon be covered by war, they were still very grateful in their hearts.

  It's better to die than to live.

  Fortunately, it's early spring now. Although it's cold in the morning and evening, and the ice and snow haven't completely melted, it's not as severe as the cold winter two months ago.

   After walking forty miles, they were so exhausted that they could fall asleep lying on ice and snow.

   As a result, before dawn, two fast horses came from the north, stood under the city gate and shouted: "The state government hastened the order, open the door!"

   After shouting three times like this, the guards ordered the gate to be opened.

  The movement spread far away, and the Dunyu people sleeping in the tent heard it too. Some are still in a drowsy sleep, while others are already whispering:

  Dunyu received a message, and it is still urgent.

  What will be the news?

  Xunzhou's army has gone south in a large scale?

   This kind of discussion quickly reached the ears of Zhan's family.

   After another hour, the rooster sings and the gate of the city opens.

  The Patriarch of the Zhan family, Zhan Song, immediately led his people into the city and found an inn to rest. After sleeping in the field for half the night, they were sore and achy all over.

  Of course, the Zhan family did not forget to send people around to inquire.

   It's just that Zhan Song and the others had just finished washing and sat down to eat the first basket of steamed buns, the servant rushed back and shouted: "Win, win!"

   "What wins!" Before Zhan Song could speak, his family reprimanded him, "Shouting, where are the rules?"

  Zhan Song was in a hurry, and he didn't care about etiquette: "Say it!"

"Announcements were posted throughout the city of Buxian County, and special personnel were also sent to preach that the new general manager sent troops to meet the Xunzhou army, and won successive victories in Xinhuang, Hetao, and Lu'an, defeating more than 9,000 opponents with 1,600 people. , and beheaded two enemy generals!"

   All the buns that Zhan Song was carrying fell on the table: "Announcement...is that written?"

  Zhan's family was in an uproar, and everyone said: "I don't believe it!"

"how is this possible!"

   "The state government is fraudulent, trying to calm people's hearts, this is absolutely unbelievable!"

  Zhan Song was in a state of disarray, feeling that the crowd was buzzing and noisy, he couldn't help but slapped the table: "Quiet!"

   There was a bang, and there was silence.

   His wife tentatively asked him: "Master, do you see?"

  Zhan Song made up his mind: "Send a fast horse back to inquire. Today we all stay in Bu County."

   At this time, there is no better way, and the tribe has no way to object, stealing everywhere.

  Everyone left, Zhan Song sat in the room for a while, getting more and more depressed, and went out for a walk.

  The guests who come and go have smiles on their faces, and they seem to be an eyesore.

  Finally he walked into a teahouse, and the tables were talking about the victory. As soon as he sat down at an empty table, the waiter brought a pot of hot tea and a plate of dried fruit.

   "I didn't order this."

   "It's a gift from the shopkeeper, one per table." The clerk grinned, "North has won a big victory today, so proud, we're so happy!"

   "It's not the first time to win a battle, as for?"

   "That's two thousand against nine thousand, and I won!" The man put the towel on his shoulders, "The new manager really has two brushes."

   "It's a good start, I hope he will be able to withstand it later."

"That's right." The clerk suppressed his smile and sighed, "I don't know if the new manager can beat those rich **** in Dunyu City! A large number of people came from outside the county today, saying they escaped from Dunyu Yes, I don’t know what’s going on. Do you still want to run after winning?”

   "..." Zhan Song's smile became bitter.

   At this time, the streets outside were crackling, and someone actually set off cannons to celebrate.

  Put one hanging here, another hanging there, the whole city is beaming like a festival.

  The Dunyu people, who were the only ones who followed the lead of the Zhan family, were also uneasy, and a notice was pasted outside the city gate, as if it was specially posted for them.
