Chapter 96 A Few Words
After Zhang Yu finished watching, he personally adjusted Guo Zhongjin's clothes, tied his belt, and helped him sit down. Then he returned to his seat, sat upright, and said respectfully: "Guo Zi has worked hard for the country, which is admirable."
Mr. Guo said: "Mr. Zhang, please don't kill the child. Zhong Jin is young. He has worked hard for the country and is just ignorant."
Zhang Noi smiled and said: "Mr. Guo teaches well, so there are young people like this." The two were humble for a while, and then returned to the topic. Zhang Noi changed his title and said: "Zhong Jin is in bondage, have you ever heard of the front hall of the hall? Is it possible for me to hear what the Qin army has to say?"
Guo Zhongjin was stunned and said: "I'm afraid it won't fall into the ears of Da Fang!"
Zhang Ye said: "But what I heard and heard is not foretelling!"
Mr. Guo also encouraged: "Whatever you say about what you have heard, the decision between you and Mr. Zhang depends on you."
Zhang Noi asked remindingly: "Who can the Qin people say will be their general?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "Qin people often talk about 'Ganghou', which means they are in awe. How dare you be a Qin general!"
Zhang Ye used Guanzhong Xiang to talk about it: "But what about 'Ranghou'?"
Guo Zhongjin clapped his knees and said, "That's exactly what he said, but I don't know who Ganghou actually is."
Zhang Noi changed his voice to Wei Zhongguan and said: "It is Wei Ran, the Marquis of Rang."
Mr. Guo said: "That's it. General Mangmao is also called the general of the Qin army, so he should be called Ranghou."
Zhang Ye also nodded and said: "Definitely, definitely." He then asked Guo Zhongjin, "Who else did the Qin people say anything about?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "It is really difficult to distinguish the rural talk in Guanzhong. I heard vaguely that there is Fuqi, Fukai, because his surname is Fu, so I remember it."
Zhang Yu turned to Mr. Guo: "Is there a Fu family in Qin who can be a general?"
Mr. Guo pondered for a moment and said: "Others may not know this, but I learned from a close friend that the new guest of King Qin was named Hu Yang or Hu Shang, 'Fu Kai' or 'Hu Yang', 'Fu Qi' or ' Hu Qing'."
Zhang Ye asked again in Guanzhong dialect: "But Hu Qing, Hu Yang?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "It doesn't sound true, it just seems vague."
Zhang He asked: "When will they enter the post?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "It will be at sunrise."
Zhang Zhe asked: "When will we leave the post?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "One group leaves and another comes, and there is no interruption during the day. When the sound of killing was heard in Qifeng, there were still Qin people eating horses in the post."
Zhang He asked: "How much grain is stored in the post?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "New grain has just been put into the warehouse, and the villages are full. There are still savings in the corridors and courtyards. All the expenses for the year are here, and they are all used up in one day."
Zhang He asked again: "How do the people of Qin give orders?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "That's not true. I guess it's the sound of a clapper, and the officer is shouting and giving instructions, so we can form a team and set off."
Zhang He asked: "Have you ever heard anything interesting? Can you still remember it?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "Interesting thing?... I seem to have heard someone say that after cleaning his hands, he had nothing to wipe the shit with, so he used the talisman to scratch it... Oh, they seemed to have hidden all the items in other places and had nothing with them. "
Zhang He asked: "Do you think the people of Qin ever wore armor?"
Guo Zhongjin said firmly: "No. Just wear a robe and tighten the cuffs."
"Are there horses and carriages?"
"Is there a horse or a carriage? I haven't heard of it. There will be a rolling sound when the carriage passes by the post gate."
Zhang Noi nodded and said, "What else is interesting?"
Guo Zhongjin thought for a while and said: "It seems that someone wants to stay inside, but the general doesn't allow it. In the past, it was allowed, but he is resentful... Some people's straw shoes are broken, and the commander is not allowed to use mosses to weave shoes, so he forces me to do so. Waiting for our socks to be taken off...someone will take off our clothes..." Guo Zhongjin's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally he couldn't continue and stopped.
Zhang He asked, "Did they ever beat or scold them after they took off their clothes?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "No...but it's worse than being beaten and scolded...especially at night, when I'm hungry, cold and thirsty, and I can't move..." Guo Zhongjin couldn't say any more. Lord Xinling stepped forward in person.
He poured a glass of wine and handed it to Guo Zhongjin. Guo Zhongjin took it gratefully, bowed slightly, and drank it in one gulp. His mood calmed down a little.
Zhang Ye said: "Zhong Jin is shocked and tired, so don't think too much. Let's go back to our home and rest, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
A guest came to lead the way, Mr. Guo said: "The boy is staying with me, so I will lead him there. Please leave for now!"
Lord Xinling said: "Mr. Guo, if you have nothing else to do, you can do whatever you want." Mr. Guo led Guo Zhongjin away.
Lord Xinling asked Zhang Noi: "Mr. Zhang, can you teach me?"
Zhang He said: "I was ordered to eat with the princes, and each of them had a drink, a piece of food, a vegetable and a sauce. The princes mostly followed the etiquette. Among them, Mr. Xu, Bo'an, the son of Dr. Jia, was the most generous."
Lord Xinling said: "Is there any change in Mang's master Shen?"
Zhang Ye said: "I never ate quietly, without squinting my eyes, without any distractions, as if nothing happened."
Lord Xinling asked: "Is it possible that Mang's family is not among them?"
Zhang Ye said: "It's difficult to determine the cause now, let's just wait and see." After a moment of pause, Zhang Ye asked: "Why did Mr. Zhongyue and Lieutenant Daliang leave the table?"
Lord Xinling said: "On the way, Lieutenant Daliang heard about the fall of Qifeng, and became sick with anxiety and restless. Mr. Zhongyue led him and Kunzhong of the Lu family to a side courtyard to rest."
Zhang He said: "Who is Lu's Kunzhong, who has to go with Daliang Wei?"
Lord Xinling said: "I have just met him. But his words were recommended by Mr. Huang, but there is no recommendation letter. If it were not introduced by Daliang Wei, there would be no words after meeting. Daliang Wei said that he received many help from Lu on the way.
Only then can we be safe. I hope Captain Liang will know his confidants."
Seeing that he didn't make his meaning clear, Zhang Noi added: "Is Mr. Lu a merchant?"
Lord Xinling said: "I don't know. Gentlemen, do you know who Mr. Lu is? When did you get acquainted with Mr. Huang?"
A guest next to the seat moved to the table and said, "I know a thing or two."
Lord Xinling said: "Mr. Cai has contacts with the Lu family?"
Mr. Cai said: "No. I am traveling with Mr. Huang and have heard a little bit about it."
Lord Xinling said: "Mr. Cai, please tell me the details."
Mr. Cai said: "Before I went out to battle, I was invited by Mr. Huang to visit his house. Mr. Huang once said that the Lu family was newly arrived in Daliang City. He was from Wei and was a descendant of Lu Taigong. The branches of his family were scattered to the west of his home.
I make a living selling salt horses in the land. Recently, most of the salt horses have been acquired by the King of Qin, and it is difficult to make a living, so I decided to sell rice grains instead. When I heard the name of the emperor, I wanted to go to see you, so I entrusted you to Mr. Huang."
Lord Xinling said: "Mr. Huang invites you to discuss this matter?"
Mr. Cai said: "That's not true. It is common for merchants in a merchant's house to worship the emperor at his door and seduce his guests. If the person has no respect, most of them will not be able to see the emperor's face. I watched Mr. Huang's visit to Lu
His intentions are mediocre, and he does not intend to be distinguished and promoted. Unexpectedly, he is ordered to serve as the captain of Daliang, and he has such a heavy responsibility."
Zhang Noi asked: "Sir, can I meet Mr. Lu?"
Mr. Cai said: "No."
Zhang He said: "Sir, why do you think this Lu family is the other Lu family?"
Mr. Cai said: "Because of Mr. Huang, I especially remember this ear!"
Zhang Noi asked, but said no more. Seeing that the Xinling group was speechless, they raised their hands and ordered Mr. Cai to return to his seat. He turned back to Zhang Noi and said, "Mr. Zhang suddenly asked Mr. Lu, which seems to have a profound meaning."
