Chapter 406: The Spring of the Pirates
"Chengqian..."
"Brother...!" Li Chengqian bowed.
Li Zhan smiled and patted Li Chengqian's head and said, "You still need your elder brother now, so your elder brother won't leave, but... the young birds always spread their wings... When you spread your wings, I will leave.
Chengqian, remember that there is no banquet that will last for me. Work hard and don’t let my elder brother leave...!"
"Brother...!" Li Chengqian was slightly moved.
At this time, Li Zhan laughed and said, "Don't show the expression of a little daughter like this, okay... Let's go for a meal. Today is a happy day. You have received the reward. In this way... we invite everyone to have a hot pot and have a good time...!"
"Yeah..." Finally, Li Chengqian nodded with a smile.
Soon a large group of people were found by Li Zhan, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, and the brothers of the Yuchi family. This time, Cheng Chumo also brought his younger brothers over, but there were more and more people.
................
Just as Li Zhan and others were watching Xue Jing and eating hot pot.
"Oh... it's so cold... Why is this ghost weather so cold?" In front of a relatively dilapidated house in Qinglongfang, a man stomped his feet, and then quickly walked in with a bag on his back.
"Three, why are you back... Brother is almost hungry, have you received the rice?" The man walked into the house and another man's voice came out.
"I received it, and I received it. Not only did I receive it from the court, but the King of Yue and King of Shu, I also received ten kilograms each, a total of seventy kilograms, which is enough for us to eat for a while. By the way... Is the eldest brother's cold better?" The third brother asked his eldest brother with some concern.
"It's much better... I just saw someone with a drum, and said that it wasn't a big deal. I gave me a pack of medicine and said that after I finished taking it, my brother would be fine."
"Ah...that's good!" The third brother laughed and said, "Then I'll go cook porridge, by the way... Where is the fourth brother and the fifth brother?"
"They...!" the second brother replied: "Go and find some odd jobs to do it, earn some money to buy some meat for the elder brother to make up for it."
"These two guys finally knew that they were caring for the boss, which was good...! After that, the third brother went to cook porridge, while the second brother went to take care of the boss.
Someone will definitely ask, who are these people? That... I wonder if you still remember that after Li Zhan's auction, there were five people who wanted to kidnap Li Zhan... These five people.
These five people are water thieves, the eldest king Wu, the second king eight, the third snake skin, the fourth shrimp head, the fifth little fish... Why did these five water thieves come to Chang'an? In fact, these five people were caught ashore by a man named Hei Laosi. This time, they came to Chang'an to do a big deal, then get some money again, buy a big ship, and go back to take revenge.
But the five thieves stayed at the inn, which was called a black shop. After leaving Qingfeng Building, they stayed in that inn for one night, and the money was stolen. Then the five people were going to take over their bodies and seek justice, but this black shop had more than a dozen people, all of them were big and round.
These guys in the water may not be the opponents of these pirates, but on land... the last five pirates were repaired so badly that their elder brother was beaten and all of them were sick.
Helplessly, the five thieves had to find a broken house in Qinglongfang and settle down.
What surprised the five thieves was that just when they had nothing and their elder brother was still sick, the Tang Dynasty suddenly announced that the snow disaster was coming, so they started to release grain. Each family could receive fifty kilograms of grain during the snow disaster. The only requirement was that you were from the Tang Dynasty.
This is the confidence of the Tang Dynasty. As long as you are a native of the Tang Dynasty, you can receive food without having to go through clerks and officials. Other dynasties basically cannot do it.
Snakeskin received fifty kilograms of grain, ate the prince's porridge, and then received the grain from the King of Shu and King Yue. Finally, they went to Dunhuafang to get a coal stove and honeycomb coal brand.
How to say it, this is called the road of no one.
More importantly, his elder brother's illness was cured by a group of people from the Lotus Club that used a small drum, but this group of people from the Lotus Club always asked them to join the Lotus Club, which made the five people feel uncomfortable.
When you join the Lotus Club, you have to pay the money. At this time, the five people went to get the money, so this matter was dragged on. However, the people in the Lotus Club did not neglect because the five people did not join the Lotus Club, and there was no need for money to get medical treatment and medicine.
"Brother... has eaten porridge..."
The porridge was cooked, and Snakes came to the room to feed his elder brother the porridge. You should know that although these five water thieves were not brothers, they were better than brothers. A flood many years ago caused all the five water thieves to lose their parents. In the end, the eldest king Wu gathered the five people together to make a living on the water. The eldest king Wu looked very like the eldest brother... When he was not full before, he always went to eat with his younger brothers, and what he ate was the turf.
These younger brothers are all remembered in their hearts, so they will never abandon this elder brother even if they die.
Wang Wu can drink porridge now, which is a good thing, which indicates that it will be cured soon, but... just after Wang Wu finished drinking a bowl of porridge, suddenly, there was a stir outside Qinglongfang.
Shuiba and Snakeskin spread their ears and listened for a while, and then they heard some intermittent words.
What should I go to Dunhuafang quickly?
What prince is biased?
If you don’t go, the people in the city will not be able to carry coal stoves and honeycomb coal.
.............
After listening for a while, Snakeskin finally knew what was going on. Then Snakeskin looked at Snakeskin and said, "Second brother... Take good care of your elder brother at home, I'm going to Dunhuafang soon."
"What's wrong?" Shui Ba was also surprised, not knowing why Snakes had to go to Dunhuafang again.
"Did you hear what's outside?" asked Snakeskin.
"I heard that it was a coal stove, and the prince was partial." Shui Ba replied.
At this time, Snakeskin said: "This coal stove and honeycomb coal are good things. When the snow disaster is coming, the temperature will definitely drop. With this coal stove and honeycomb coal, we can keep warm at home. The people outside just shouted that the prince wanted to use the coal stove and honeycomb coal for the people outside the city first.
There are no people in our city. No wonder I gave me a sign I would go to get in three days. I want to deceive us...!"
"The prince is also lying to others?" Shui Ba asked in surprise.
"The prince doesn't have so many coal stoves and honeycomb coals, but the prince wants to get a good reputation, so he can only lie... Okay, let's not say, I'm leaving. If I go too late and there is no more, then we will be sad during the snow disaster."
As he said that, Snakeskin stood up and rushed out of the house.
People like snake skin are rushing out of their homes at this time, and they all know that coal stoves and honeycomb coal are good. Who would give up? Li Zhan and Li Chengqian would not have thought that a big trouble would come to them.
If this big trouble is not handled well, it will be a trivial matter if the prince’s reputation is lost. If it is used by someone who is interested and becomes a handle to attack Li Chengqian, it will be a bigger problem.
