Chapter 37

After the woman took Xiaonu and Gai Nie away, the young man also stood up and stood at the bottom, asking Zheng Anping and Chen Sishang to sit down. They were willing to sit down. Mang Mao said: "We are guests today. How can we do that?"

I have to sit at the guest table and be laughed at by others." Then the two sat down. The person who went to treat the guests and the young man sat down under Mang Mao's shoulders one by one.

Mang Mao pointed at the two of them and said: "That's Quanzi Yin, and that's Quanzi Wei. Yin is the eldest son, and Wei is the fourth son. The young child Shen followed the prince of Chu to Qin and met in the Qin court. The so-called Duke Shen actually refers to Shen'er.

Yes; Mr. Right, Mr. Right of our bus is also Mr. Right."

Zheng Anping held the ceremony and said: "As a humble concubine, I stayed under Mr. Shen's tent and learned many lessons. I also saw the master's majestic appearance!"

Mang Mao turned to his two sons and said, "Do you know Mr. Zheng? He is the one who risked his life under the sword to save Lord Xinling, Mr. Wei!"

Both Mang Yin and Mang Wei bowed down and said, "It's a pleasure to pay my respects!"

Zheng Anping quickly responded: "How dare you, a humble concubine!"

Mang Mao still said to his two sons: "You are in charge of the city. Based on Huayang, your reputation is everywhere. Master Zheng is really powerful. You are granted the title of governor of the city, and the son is in charge of the order! Although, the son is loyal and saved the year before last."

A wise man has offended the Prime Minister of Wei. Now that the matter has been exposed, the king will not be able to pacify him, which will lead to the death of the young master."

Zheng Anping was shocked. Mang Mao talked about his affairs as if it was his business. He became more and more determined in his thoughts: the man behind the scenes was Mang Mao. Thinking about Mang Mao,

The King of Qin recommended him as the Qing of Wei, and he served as a general and prime minister. He worked hard in the Wei state for twenty years. If such a big man wanted to play tricks on him, he had no power to fight back, so he had to let nature take its course. Thinking of this, Zheng Anping became calm and respectful.

, said without any hesitation: "I am a commoner, and I live in Wei and serve as a soldier. I was lucky enough to be a sergeant. During the battle of Huayang, all the soldiers of Wei were exhausted, and I was able to keep my head. It's still not enough.

It will be a meritorious deed. If something happens and you fail, you don’t dare to complain, but you can take responsibility for it.”

Mang Mao said: "It's not like what the young master said. Shen'er came from Qin to report that the wise man saved by the young master has entered the Qin State. He was very popular with the King of Qin and worshiped him as a guest. Once the young master entered Qin, he gained fame and fortune.

It’s not measurable.”

Zheng Anping said: "Mr. Zhang Lu came to the Qin Dynasty as a guest. I heard about it from the third brother Xi. Now that I am on the run, I actually went to surrender to him, but I am lucky to be able to survive. I don't dare to look at him."

Mang Mao said to the second son: "Are you looking at Mr. Zheng? He regards wealth and honor as floating. He has no feeling when he comes, and he doesn't leave behind when he goes. He is a sincere man."

Zheng Anping said: "How dare you, a humble concubine!"

The owner of the wine shop came in with several cases. Each person had a cauldron and two Gui, which were arranged one by one. There were three women on the side, and each of them had a cauldron and a Gui.

After the restaurant left, Zheng Anping thanked him and said, "We are a fugitive, so how dare we accept the gift of a tripod?"

Mang Mao laughed and said: "The etiquette of the tripod and Gui is from China. The people from Chu are barbarians. They wear their hair in left folds, so how can they know the etiquette! Young master, if you taste it, it is not as good as the tripod from China."

Zheng Anping opened the lid of the cauldron, and sure enough, it was not boiled meat soup, but a mixture of vegetables, fish, shrimp, meat, stewed with various onions, ginger, cinnamon and other seasonings, and meat soup.

In comparison, it has a different fragrance. The Gui is filled with millet and rice, which are steamed into rice instead of porridge. You can get what you need. Zheng Anping smelled the aroma and moved his index finger, but he had never eaten like this before.

For fear of being rude, I had to peek first to see how Mang Mao would do it.

Mang Mao used chopsticks to put some rice into the bowl, then used his dagger to scoop out some stewed rice and put it on top of the rice. He motioned to Zheng Anping and said, "Master, please!"

Zheng Anping quickly picked up the bowl and looked at Chen Si and Mang's second son. They were eating in the same way. He thought that he couldn't be wrong, so he followed suit, using chopsticks to scoop out the rice and a dagger to scoop out the meat. However, those two chopsticks

But you can't use it arbitrarily. When Chen Si saw it, he reminded him: "Father, you can eat with a dagger."

Seeing that Zheng Anping was not used to using chopsticks, Mang Mao also said: "But I eat with a dagger, but I eat with a dagger!"

Zheng Anping was a little embarrassed. He had learned how to use chopsticks before in Xiangxu, but after serving as a soldier for more than ten years, the skill of using chopsticks would become useless if he did not use them. He did not expect that he would be so unfamiliar. Moreover, in China, chopsticks are used for

The meat used in the tripod was long chopsticks. Unlike here, it was two short chopsticks, which completely replaced the function of the dagger. He decided to use the dagger to deal with the past meal first, and he would definitely practice his skills with chopsticks when he returned.

I can never lose my place like this again.

The bibimbap stewed with rice was so delicious, fragrant and sweet that Zheng Anping could hardly stop eating. After finishing a bowl of rice, he ate a bowl of small rice. He did not dare to enjoy himself and put down the bowl.

Mang Mao didn't eat so well, but seeing that Zheng Anping ate sweetly, he had to eat slowly. Seeing Zheng Anping put down the bowl, he ate all the rice in the bowl and stopped eating. Chen Si and Mang's second son also

Everybody stop.

Mang Mao said: "I sent food to the Wei Dynasty because I wanted to leave my descendants to the family property to avoid hunger and cold. However, due to bad luck, I defeated the army and killed the generals, so I was not able to contribute to the country. I am a young child, and I am not known to be a gentleman, so I have little virtue.

Bo, I would like to recommend him to the young master so that he can learn and gain knowledge."

When Zheng Anping heard this, he was so shocked that he was sweating profusely. He hurriedly fell down in the tunnel and said: "I am still in danger, how dare you protect your son Wenda! I have an order, but I dare not resign. If you have any doubts, please use the axe."

"

Mang Mao returned the courtesy at the table and said, "I don't dare to doubt you, Young Master. Although Wei'er is young, his heart is still sharp. In times of adversity, he may see the effect of dogs and horses."

Zheng Anping said: "I dare not resign from the Lord's orders. I am willing to serve the Lord and follow the example of dogs and horses."

Mang Mao said solemnly: "When the young master entered Qin, it was because he was serving Mr. Zhang. Since I haven't heard of Mr. Zhang yet, I should be serving the young master as my master. How can I dare to rebel against him?"

Zheng Anping seemed to understand. His status was entirely dependent on Zhang Lu, and the reason why Mang Mao was willing to let his son follow him was all because of Zhang Lu. Zheng Anping was a little confused: that man was always stooped and sick.

Zhang Lu, who was sick and inconspicuous, could be such a big shot? He even pretended to be his own retainer. Although he was always polite to him, calling him sir, and always asking him for advice when he had something to do, he was never too polite.

I saw him, but I just treated him as a friend in need. I never thought that he would be someone that even Mang Mao could rely on. If I had known this, would I have dared to treat Zhang Lu like that? He seemed a little unconscious, as if he was in a dream

.I feel a little dissatisfied, but also a little hopeful: How will my destiny change after being linked to Zhang Lu?

After promising to recommend Mang Wei to Zhang Lu, it was decided that Mang Wei would join the Qin Dynasty with Zheng Anping. Naturally, Mang Wei also wanted to keep his name anonymous. Like Mang Shen, he took the surname of Wuwei, which was appreciated by both refined and popular people.

His thoughts were meticulous. What was especially thoughtful was that he even packed his luggage for the trip. After eating and leaving the restaurant, he followed Zheng Anping directly back to the boat. Wu Wang was watching the ship at home and did not follow him to the restaurant.

Zheng Anping asked for a bowl from the store, filled it with a bowl of rice and a bowl of meat, and brought it back to Wuwang - the money for the bowl was naturally charged to Mangmao's account.

Now Zheng Anping's team has grown to six people. Although Mang Wei has never met him before, he gets along well with Zheng Anping. The two sides talk about Mang Shen, the Battle of Huayang and Lord Xinling, etc., and they can exchange knowledge with each other with great interest.

, the only thing is that they kept secret about how to sneak into Yin Yang. After several attempts failed, Zheng Anping stopped mentioning it. While they were chatting, Chen Si and Gai Nie sat at the door of the cabin one after another, guarding against others approaching. Others

We sat around in the cabin, mainly listening, and occasionally interjecting a few words.

Along the way, whether the caravan traveled by water or the caravan traveled by land, whether it was stopping or traveling, Zheng Anping obeyed the caravan's instructions and cooperated fully; sometimes even when Zheng Anping was asked to come forward to scare the local gangsters, Zheng Anping did not refuse.

Carrying a wooden stick and directly lifting a big stone, he established his status as a warrior.

The last stop before the caravan entered Nanyang was Heshang. Here, almost all food and daily necessities were cleared away, and only some luxury goods were left to continue transport to Nanyang. Many iron items, especially iron, were exchanged.

Farm tools. Since the establishment of Nanyang County in the Qin Dynasty, the demand for iron farm tools has greatly increased. And if there is demand, there will be supply. Heshou even went out of the kiln to specialize in the production of iron farm tools.

In order to thank Zheng Anping, a warrior, the caravan collectively paid for him to buy an iron sword. Zheng Anping did not refuse, and only chose a three-foot-long sword instead of a long sword. At first, everyone thought that Zheng Anping was loyal.

, to save everyone money, but later they discovered that this sword was actually hanging on Gai Nie's waist.

As Gai Nie grew up day by day, his love for martial arts grew day by day. He "learned from the best of others" from Xinlingjun's disciples and created his own postures. After continuous innovation, it has become very effective. His physical development is very coordinated and his strength has also increased greatly.

Fast; although Wuwang is five or six years older than him, he is no longer a match for Gai Nie when it comes to wrestling. Mang Wei thinks this little guy is very cute, and sometimes breaks two branches to split with him. Zheng Anping only watches from the side,

Sometimes I can give you a few words of advice, but it doesn't end there.

When Gai Nie hung up the iron sword, his whole spirit was different, as if he had been sublimated. Zheng Anping was very surprised: Is there really a so-called sword god? He watched Gai Nie more and more carefully, for fear of losing something. Chen Si'er

Xin Xing, in order to play with Gai Nie's sword, pretended to teach him swordsmanship. He demonstrated the basic swordsmanship he knew, one move at a time; Gai Nie actually followed the example and practiced it seriously.

After passing Heshou, it was all mountain roads. Everyone hired cars, passed through Fangcheng, and headed for Wancheng. Since Qin and Chu had formed an alliance, Fangcheng's defense had been relaxed. As long as taxes were levied, there were generally no more checks. In Chen

There was not much food left in the country, so several men packed bags and tied them on themselves. Because the mountain road was rugged, riding in a car was not as comfortable as walking, so there were no servants to install the car, so Xiaonu and Genie followed on foot.

Among the six people in the group, Mang Wei was the first to soak his feet; then Xiaonu, and finally Wu Wang and Zheng Anping; Gai Nie and Chen Si were playing with swords all the way, but they didn't soak their feet. When Zheng An
