Chapter 24
"Jiang Yan?" The head man thought for a while and said, "Please forgive me for being short-sighted. I have never heard of the young hero's name before."
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "It is normal that you haven't heard of it. A mere unknown person is not famous."
When Liu Wuzhou was killed and both Wuzhou and Wu were both injured, they were not well-known; and Yan Huifeng, who knew his name, had no chance to spread it. Therefore, he did such a big thing that shocked the world, but he was still "nameless".
He was using the face of "Hu Fei" that killed Wang Bodang. He left Yanmen Pass and was useless because he was afraid that people would have too many associations, and then they all appeared in their true colors.
The leader naturally doesn't believe it. He is definitely not an ordinary person with such martial arts and style. After thinking about it for a while, he seems to have an impression, but he can't remember it. He doesn't say it, so it's hard to ask.
Jiang Yan drank a sip of wine, which was strong and turbid, and was naturally far behind the Central Plains wine. He looked as usual and said, "Since the Sui army has left, will the caravan come again this year?"
Those nine two-has are naturally a great help on the snowy field, but when we arrived in the Central Plains, the terrain was undulating and the snow was not thick, so I didn’t know if it was easy to use. The safest thing was to change to a carriage to transport it.
The head man calculated for a moment and said, "The big caravan will not come to such a remote place. Usually, there are only some small caravans who work hard for money. However, it is hard to say recently.
A thief appeared in the local area, called Shen Mohuan, and his wife Mu Ling, forming a "husband and wife thief". He traveled around the Turks, Khitans, Mohes and other places all year round, killing and robbing people. Many caravans were killed, including people from the Central Plains.
Even if we are so remote here, we have been affected. The fur goods we hunted this year have accumulated a lot of backlogs, and the salt, tea and wine we get are 50% less than last year. If this is still the case next year, we must consider moving to the Turkic direction."
The nomadic people have always been born through water and grass. This tribe has gained more due to fishing and hunting. After staying here for many years, it has gradually grown. It can force them to leave, which shows how bad the situation is.
"Shen Mohuan?" Jiang Yan vaguely remembered this person, as if it was related to a master who made bows and arrows, and died at the hands of the protagonist of the original work.
However, the matter on the grassland has nothing to do with him. The most important thing at the moment is naturally to send Han Yu back to the Pegasus Ranch.
The two chatted for a while, but unfortunately, the leader was not related to livelihood outside the tribe, and they didn't know much, which made Jiang Yan unable to judge the situation in the Central Plains. When it got darker and he had dinner, he would rest.
The next morning, he said goodbye, leaving behind the regrets of the tribe girls and embarked on the road to return.
...
As we headed south, many people on the road were quite interested in Jiuha who was dragging sleds, and some even wanted to exchange horses and furs, but Jiang Yan politely declined.
As for those who had bad intentions and wanted to rob them, they naturally became ghosts under his sword, and such a reputation spread slightly.
A few days later, a Central Plains caravan came to him. To his surprise, he was quite big, with white hair and silver beards. He looked only forty years, but it turned out to be Song Lu, the "silver beard" of the Lingnan Song Dynasty clan.
Jiang Yanqi said: "Brother Song, I heard that the Song family has been doing business in the Jiangnan area. When did they come to the north?"
"Hahahaha!" Song Lu laughed and said, "Although my elder brother has never liked Diyi, the ginseng in Goguryeo and the fur of Shiwei Mohe are all very good hard products. If you sell it to the south, you will get at least ten times the profit.
As the saying goes, birds die for food, people die for money. My Song family is not a fool, so the money you should make is still something you need to make."
Jiang Yan nodded, signaled and asked again, "Why is Brother Song coming to me? The little reputation I have earned over the past few days cannot reach the attention of the Song family?"
"That's right, kill a few little thieves, but you are not as famous as your handsome face." Song Lu said: "How can the martial arts heroes who killed Liu Wuzhou and killed Yan Huifeng not let the world look at him?"
Jiang Yan didn't expect and had no intention of hiding others. The only thing that needs to be covered at the moment is the news that Lu Miaozi is still alive. The last time he fought with Wu Xian, he used all the skills of the Xiaoyao Sect, which was enough to confuse Yin Gui Sect.
He smiled and said, "Liu Wuzhou was wiped out by wine and sex, but that's it; Yan Huifeng was still a young eagle, and he was still young. If Brother Song went up, they wouldn't be able to escape."
"I'm over fifty years old, how old are you? How can you compare?" Song Lu was speechless. Hearing that he was only seventeen, he exclaimed: "It turns out that a hero is a young man, he can't compare, he can't compare."
He waved his hands repeatedly and said solemnly: "Do you know that 'Wu Zun', Turkic Khan Jie Li, and Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, Liang Shidu, all spoke out, and wanted to take your life and reward you very much."
Jiang Yan didn't care, and asked about the value of rewards with interest, and exclaimed: "I am a little moved by such a generous reward. Sooner or later, I will deliver it to my door and make the money myself."
"Good spirit!" Song Lu praised sincerely: "If you can kill Liu Wuzhou, even if Liang Master is more skilled, he will not be much higher, so there is no need to worry. Bi Xuan and Zhenren Ning fought thirty years ago and agreed that both sides would not go north and south without authorization.
Only Yang Guang is left, which is trouble. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. I really want to cause trouble for you. Whether it is Dugu Valve, Yuwen Valve or Li Valve, there are many experts. I wonder what your plans are?"
Jiang Yan sneered: "Even if he doesn't come to find me, sooner or later I will find him to avenge my father's deep bloody revenge at the foot of the Great Wall."
When Song Luneng knew his name, he could naturally follow the clues and find the Pegasus Ranch. After he got his fabricated identity, his parents died in the service and lived with his grandfather who was hiding in the mountains to make wine.
He patted the other party on the shoulder and advised: "The foolish lord will do things in a rebellious way, and the world will be full of war. He will not survive for many hours. Why should you take risks? Just wait for him to tie himself up."
"There is a great regret in the world, Brother Song knows?" Jiang Yan said: "It's because he has the ability, but he can't kill the enemy!"
He told the story of Huang Shang in the Legend of the Condor Heroes, and finally sighed: "Even if this person has achieved great success in the Nine Yin True Classics, the people who killed his whole family back then either died of old age or illness or died by accident. He had only martial arts and could not take revenge. It was sad and hateful!"
"But if he was not obsessed with taking revenge in person, wouldn't he have plenty of time to reproduce and prosper the family? I'm afraid this is what his parents, wife and children would rather see." Song Lu asked back and said:
"Forget it, how dare you persuade you to let go without your hardships? I just hope that you will not indulge in hatred, give up on yourself, and waste your great youth on revenge."
He had all his kindness, and Jiang Yan would not be ungrateful, so he thanked him quickly and said:
