It is not uncommon for sheep to come here.

The border between Qizhou and Baozhou is closely connected. There are even a few villages where half are in Qizhou and half are in Baozhou. Everyday people don’t distinguish between you and me, but now it’s different.

"Have you been here several times? Why don't you look for them?" Li Dujian said hesitantly.

Zhang Zhicheng immediately stared.

"Why." He said, "Duke Cheng has taught us to be absolutely ruthless to Jin people. These little bastards are unconvinced."

Li Dujian looked hesitant.

"Isn't Duke Cheng not here now?" He said, "Uncle Qing He just issued an order a few days ago to maintain peace on the border and avoid disputes."

Zhang Zhicheng didn't like to hear this.

"What's trouble?" he said. "It was never us who caused trouble, why did we become trouble when we defended our home and country?"

Li Dujian didn't like to hear this either.

"Who said you guys are causing trouble? Don't mess around. I'm just reminding you that the world is different now, and everyone needs to change their ways," he said.

Hearing this Zhang Zhicheng was even more depressed.

"There are more and more bullshit rules," he said. "In the past, except for military training and defense, Duke Cheng did not allow the slightest sloppiness. Everything else was done at random. How could there be so many rules, especially when talking about rules with Jinren, fists are rules."

Li Dujian patted the table.

"What's your rule? Why are you calling me?" He sternly shouted, "Are there any rules?"

Zhang Zhicheng immediately stood up straight and answered yes with a solemn expression.

"I know you are not used to it now." Li Dujian said slowly again, "But now it is different from before. We have negotiated peace with the Jin people, and we can't fight and kill when we meet like before."

Zhang Zhicheng endured and endured, but still couldn't.

"My lord, it's time to negotiate a peace, but the Jin people are still the Jin people. We have dealt with them for many years, and we still don't know their urine nature." Peaceful."

Li Dujian patted the table again.

"Shut up." He glared. "In short, there are orders from above, and the rules are not allowed to be messed up."

Zhang Zhicheng bowed his head and answered yes.

While talking here, some soldiers rushed into the official hall.

"My lord, Mr. Jinglue has sent someone." He shouted.

Li Dujian immediately stood up from his chair.

"Please." He said respectfully, and walked out to greet him quickly. After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember Zhang Zhicheng who was still standing here, "Go down."

Zhang Zhicheng responded and watched Li Dujian walk away quickly.

"Really, do you need to be so respectful? Who took these civil servants seriously before." He raised his head and muttered.

Qizhou Lu Jinglue was a civil servant, so the people he sent were also civil servants. If it was Li Dujian in the past, he would have ignored him at all, but now it is different from before.

This is all because Cheng Guogong is not here.

"When will the Lord come back?"

Outside the fort, a group of soldiers either squatted or stood looking at Zhang Zhicheng and said.

"The days are not short."

"That's right, all the generals from other places have returned, and only the Duke is left."

Zhang Zhicheng spit out the withered grass in his mouth.

"Come on." He said vaguely.

Just after finishing speaking, a soldier rushed over.

"Master Zhang, Master Dujian asked you to take someone to find the sheep that Jin Min lost." He said.

As soon as this remark came out, the soldiers present were also very surprised.

"Why!" Zhang Zhicheng jumped up and shouted with staring eyes.

The soldier took a step back in fear.

"Your Excellency Jinglue knows it. He said that the Jin people are pitiful. For the sake of the border stability and good relations between the two countries, let me help you." He said hurriedly, and he couldn't learn those polite words. There is an explanation."

After saying that, he ran away quickly, fearing that Zhang Zhicheng would beat him up.

Zhang Zhicheng was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

"I'll go to them to argue." He shouted, "How many cattle and sheep the gold thief robbed us in the past, it's really his grandma, and now he wants us to find sheep for him."

The soldiers hurriedly stopped him. Although they were angry, they knew that the orders from above could not be disobeyed.

"It's not worth it for the sake of the golden people and the small people. If the adults argue with the Shangguan, it is flattering them."

Everyone persuaded.

Zhang Zhicheng also knew that he was soft-spoken, and it was impossible for him to change the order given by Lord Lue, so he could only shake his hands angrily.

"Besides, let's look for it, and whoever says it will definitely be found." A soldier said comfortingly.

But sometimes things just don't go according to people's wishes, and the two sheep that Jin Min lost were really found, but what they found were two dead sheep.

The reason why they can be identified is because the tails of these two sheep and sheep are dyed red.

There is no such custom locally.

"We don't know whose sheep it is. It was chased by dogs and broke its leg, and it died when it was picked up." Two villagers said tremblingly, "We asked in the village, and they all said it was not our sheep. did not expect..."

Although it is said to be peaceful, the word Jin Ren is a word that scares them. Now that they heard that the two dead sheep belonged to the Jin Man, their faces turned pale with fright.

Will they be taken away to be buried with Jin Min's sheep?

Zhang Zhicheng cursed in his heart, turned around the dead sheep, and rolled his eyes.

"All the sheep in the world look the same." He said, and suddenly pulled out his waist knife.

The two villagers were so frightened that they fell to their knees, the wind of the knife slashed, and the sheep's tail flew up.

"That's all right." Zhang Zhicheng put the waist knife back, looked at the two dead sheep with their tails cut off with some satisfaction, and raised his hand, "Come on, since the fellow villagers are kind, we are welcome, today Go back to eat roast lamb in the evening."

The villagers and soldiers were stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

The villagers kowtowed in gratitude, while the soldiers picked up the dead sheep with deliberately exaggerated cheers and laughter.

When night fell, a bonfire was lit under the fort, surrounded by a dozen soldiers, watching the gang leaders busy, the two roasted mutton oil on the shelf were full of light and aroma, and there was already a lot of aroma People drank several bowls of wine, and Zhang Zhicheng was even punched by his subordinates to pour wine.

"It's roasted." The soldier over there shouted loudly, cutting off the meat of the leg of lamb, "please taste it first, sir."

Zhang Zhicheng laughed and stood up, just as he was about to take the mutton, a large group of horses came galloping.

"Zhang Zhicheng." Li Dujian shouted in a sharp voice, "What are you doing?"

It turned out that the chief supervisor had come.

Zhang Zhicheng was half drunk and raised his wine.

"Master Li, come quickly, I'm about to invite you." He said. "Come and eat lamb."

Li Dujian jumped off the horse with a stiff face, and kept winking at Zhang Zhicheng.

"Who made you drink." He shouted.

But it was still a step too late, someone stepped over behind him.

"Where did you sheep come from?" the man shouted sharply.

The bonfire illuminated his civil servant's robe, and his dark and uncertain face looked a little scary.

Zhang Zhicheng was half sober, and knew that this was probably the official sent by Mr. Jinglue to inquire about the incident of the Jinren losing his sheep.

"It was sent to us by the villagers." He said loudly, "If you don't believe me, you can ask."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came out from the side and knelt down.

"My lord, please report, this is the sheep of the gold man who robbed me." He shouted, raising his hand high.

The two sheep tails he held in his hands were even more dazzling red under the light of the bonfire.
