When they arrived at the venue, Lu Zhong met everyone and thanked Niu Er. While Lu Zhong and his party were leaving, the villagers had already packed out several thatched huts for the business trip to spend the night. After Lu Zhong returned, , the village elder immediately asked for shelter, and led the group to the accommodation to rest. When leaving, Lu Zhong asked the village elder intentionally: "You are stupid, and you hardly know the way home under the moonlight. Fortunately, Brother Niu, Ma Brother, help me." The village elder said: "I am not alone, there are people who have long believed in this, and they have also mistakenly followed other roads. The road of my hometown has slight twists and turns, which are rare in the surrounding villages. It can be a method." Lu Zhong accepted the advice and thanked him. .

The several thatched huts that were cleared out were around the granary, and they were obviously used to store straw. It was just after the autumn harvest, and the straw piles in the room were full. Everyone was satisfied: it won't be too cold tonight. Generally speaking, the soldiers were divided into two. There were two rooms for the Tang family and two rooms for the Lu family and the princes. They agreed on the candidates for the night watch. Everyone returned to their rooms and lay down on the straw casually. After walking for a day, many people were sleepy. Not long after lying down, most of them And fell into dreamland.

The Lu brothers lived in the same thatched house with Zheng Anping and Suban. Zheng Anping and Suban were near the door, and the Lu brothers were in the back. They were polite for a while and then lay down each other. Zheng and Xu were unfamiliar with each other, so they talked in a low voice. They chatted with each other and went to sleep respectively. The Lu brothers seemed to have endless things to say, and they chatted non-stop.

It wasn't until he heard the slight snoring from Zheng and Xu that Lu Zhong whispered to Lu Bo: "Brother, who do I meet? Father Shang!"

Lu Bo was also startled and said, "How do you know this?"

Lu Zhongdao: "He has a jade heirloom."

Lu Bo said: "The jade jue was lost in Puyang for three generations. Although we have heard about it, we have not seen it, so how can we know that it is an heirloom jade jue."

Lu Zhongdao: "I don't care about others, it looks like gelatin but it's not fake. That's how you know it's extraordinary."

Lu Bo said: "What color?"

Lu Zhongdao: "It is not clear under the moon, but it appears to be white jade, neither green nor green."

Lu Bo said: "Although white jade is rare, it is the most difficult to identify."

Lu Zhongdao: "There is something more strange: Father Shang wants to exchange gold for money..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Bo said: "What do you mean?"

Lu Zhongdao: "He said that it is inconvenient to use gold for the grain of the countryside, so it is better to exchange it for copper coins, which will be cheaper to use." He looked at Lu Bo and saw that he was listening attentively, so he said, "I will pay Brother Bai the four gold coins I bring." , there was no gold left to take with me. My father still refused. He went inside and took out a leather bag. It was extremely finely made and was full from the front to the back. It was very heavy to hold and could be put on the head without hindering movement... But unexpectedly, it was mixed with tin and lead... …”

Lu Bo was shocked and said: "How do you know this?"

Lu Zhongdao: "I didn't know about it, my father told me."

Lu Bo said: "What do you mean?"

Lu Zhong recalled in detail: "My father Shang originally said that one cake of gold would be exchanged for five thousand dollars - it was indeed the current price. Seeing that I had no gold around, he said that he would give three thousand in advance for use at night; the remaining two thousand, once I was carrying gold cakes to trade. Before I could say anything, my father took out the skin bag from the back house. It was very heavy and asked me to help him. After entering the pavilion, he asked me to take off my coat and put the skin bag around my neck. It was actually as light as wearing a coat. It was well prepared and the movement was fine. I saw that this leather bag was very good and could not be bought for a thousand dollars, so I did not dare to take it... My father suddenly said clearly that the bag was actually filled with lead, tin and the like. If I took it away, it would be thrown into the ditch - - It’s really a compliment. I didn’t know the depth, so I didn’t dare to continue, so I hurriedly dismissed him.”

Lu Bo listened silently without interrupting. Seeing Lu Zhong finish his words, he pondered for a moment and said: "Shang's father has not been born for a long time, and now he suddenly appears. It is difficult to know whether it is true or false. He has set up a hidden trap and exposed it again. It seems to be a test. In later life, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. I can only treat each other with courtesy. When doing transactions, be sure to have clear hands and feet."

Lu Zhongdao: "What my uncle taught is this. Although it is difficult to tell the truth from the truth of my brother Si Shang's father, his words are advisable: if you are a servant and a cart driver, gold is not as good as copper."

Lu Bo said: "Uncle Tang, Brother Zheng returned early and has already discussed what he has said. Although Bai's plan is a bit exaggerated, it is still within the price and can be planned according to what was discussed."

Lu Zhongdao: "How much food can we get from this city? How much does it cost?"

Lu Bo said: "We are discussing with the elders here, and we have decided to give each household three hundred coins to pay for the Spring and Autumn Festival sacrifices. Twenty-three of the husbands in the city, or grain or carts, can be used to keep them straight. We will give the elders one and a half gold, and all the elders will go on their own.

Everyone is preparing and it will be available tomorrow."

Lu Zhongdao: "What's the price?"

Lu Bo said: "Three hundred yuan per household, nine shi of grain - although it is more than the current price, Brother Ma's place should be divided. If one car is sent out, and the chariot is connected, the daily calculation is half a stone, and on the basis of ten days, the grain is reduced by 5

If the stone is still uneven, the charioteer shall prepare three days' worth of food."

Lu Zhongdao: "Can we get a grain truck tomorrow?"

Lu Bo said: "This can't be accomplished overnight. Let's see what happens tomorrow night."

Lu Zhongdao: "I'm going to pay homage to the city captain. Brother, do you have any plans?"

Lu Bo said: "It's nothing more than attending a banquet, giving money, and paying homage to the manual. I just listen to all the clansmen."

Lu Zhongdao: "We can only carry more than ten gold. That is to say, Huayang Wei's soldiers are not less than two gold. The servant's car has already exceeded five gold and has not yet been secured. The expenses along the way are not included, so it may be difficult to support it."

Lu Bo said: "This trip is not for money, but for military and state affairs. But if the kings and princes are in trouble, the benefits are not small! It's only more than ten gold, so what's the point?"

Lu Zhongdao said: "I don't dare to seek profit, but I am afraid of getting into trouble."

Lu Bo said: "How ridiculous! I'm not going to Zheng, but I'll welcome him on the way, so why worry?"

Lu Zhongdao: "Brother's lesson is right."

After the discussion was settled, sleepiness came over them, and the two of them fell asleep.

The rooster crowed for the first time that day, and Zheng Anping woke up naturally. He sat up and straightened his clothes a little, and Sub'an whispered to the side: "Brother Zheng, sleep in peace!" Zheng Anping replied: "Brother Xu, sleep in peace!"

Sub'an said: "The water is sufficient at night, but I need to relieve myself."

Zheng Anping said: "Me too."

The two jumped off the haystack, opened the door, closed it, and walked out. The soldiers on patrol knew each other and greeted each other. The two went outside and solved the problem next to a small tree. Zheng Anping shook his arm.

, I felt that the pain in my chest had basically disappeared, and I felt great. I opened my stance and performed a few moves. Subo'an cheered at the side: "Brother Zheng is so powerful and powerful, he is really good at martial arts!"

Zheng Anping stopped his posture and said with a smile: "I have been injured for many days and have not been able to move. Now I can stretch my muscles and ears a little!"

Sub'an said: "Brother Zheng's knowledge is very different from that of my younger brother. There must be a separate tradition!"

Zheng Anping asked: "Brother, who do you want to learn from?"

Sub'an said: "I just learned from Xiang Xu'er."

Zheng Anping said: "My younger brothers also learned from Xiangxu, and when they grew up, they became military soldiers and studied in the school field."

Suban asked: "What's the difference?"

Zheng Anping said: "Learn from Xiangxu, learn etiquette, understand the importance of superiority and inferiority, and know how to advance and retreat; learn from the school field, and it will determine life and death."

Sub'an said: "Brother, what you said is hurtful. How dare you do what the people of Qin did?"

Zheng Anping said: "Yes and no. This injury was caused by Qin's sword, but it was not done before the formation. An assassin wants to assassinate the young master, and I will listen to him."
