Chapter 924 Home (Thanks to Snip's Palm Pig for the monthly pass~)
Li Sanniang and Senior Brother Zhou talked it over, but after more than two quarters of an hour, they were finally able to walk out of the private room in the teahouse.
Li Sanniang looked at the sky outside and walked quickly to where the carriage was parked. As she walked, she said to Song Fuling: "This has delayed time, but it is too late to go to the West Market.
Forget it, tomorrow Besides, just buy some food on the way. Come on, let’s go home quickly.
Didn’t I say that Dalang sent a letter?
It seems that he is really coming back this time. "
Yes, the reason why Li Sanniang was in a hurry to return home after work today is that she received a letter from the Li family at noon, saying that she had received a letter from Li Dalang again this time, and asked her to do so in the evening Go home early so that we can read the letter together
And Li Dalang, who was missed by Li Sanniang and others, has now followed Shi Lean to Tianmen, the largest natural harbor in Jiangnan East Road. Port (I made it up).
After arriving at Tianmen Port, Li Dalang had not disembarked for seven or eight days.
Because the special forces he led took over a mission. Just to guard the cargo of their ship and send these things to Chang'an City intact.
Boxes in the cabin were filled with trophies seized from the Southland, including gold, precious spices and jewelry, as well as some good things collected by the powerful tribes in the Southland.
Although according to the usual practice, the captured loot must be divided into 28% or 37% among the soldiers who are doing the work first.
There are those greedy generals who mostly take the majority of the soup themselves, leaving some bone soup for their soldiers to eat. They also get 50, 50 or even 46 points.
That is to say, Emperor Wu asked Mr. Bu to send bad guys to follow him this time. Otherwise, the Shi Jiajun headed by Shi Lean and the Du Jiajun headed by Du Qinghui could be considered conscientious if they could only hand over 30% to Emperor Wu. .
After all, raising soldiers is really expensive.
It was Li Dalang and his brothers who were on a mission in the village deep in the woods. Couldn't they be doing something else besides killing people?
Of course this is true, but this is customary and human nature.
These soldiers put their heads on their belts every day. Although the military pay can be as low as 80%, it is considered the highest in the history of dynasties.
But the casualty ratio of these soldiers is not low. That is to say, Li Sanniang came here and extracted high-concentration alcohol through bad people. Because of the previous rebellion against the Western Turks, Li Sanniang gave They urgently taught the doctors of the Department of Urology of the Imperial Medical Department a lot of skills, as well as the hot weapon black powder developed by Du Qinghui and his gang, which was a big killer.
In this way, the casualty ratio of lower-level soldiers has been reduced, but even so, fighting as a soldier is ultimately a desperate business.
Therefore, if you want the horse to run, you must feed it.
Otherwise, who will follow you to kill with a knife?
Tianmen Port, the sky is filled with sunset.
Li Dalang stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the sunset that filled the sky like fire, and his ears were filled with the sounds of all kinds of slang.
There are stewards who are shouting at Lifu to unload the goods carefully, there are young women who are carrying baskets and selling pancakes softly, there are people who come to the pier to buy seafood, and there are people who are bargaining with the fisherman who is selling goods. A lively painting of a port.
"Boss, I see there is a seller of crabs, let's buy some to eat?"
Wang Daring stood on the side of the ship not far from Li Dalang, watching the lucky ship leave. The fishermen who were not too close were rowing small boats to sell seafood they had just caught from the sea. They turned back to look at Li Dalang.
"Then," Li Dalang took out a purse from his arms and threw it at Wang Da boldly, "Let Uncle Wang go and buy some. Only half of the brothers can eat this meal tonight. Don't go out. What happened is that we missed our business."
Catching the purse thrown by Li Dalang accurately, "Hey, boss, it's easy for you guys!"
The evening breeze blew over the sea. The waves were sparkling, the last ray of sunset was about to leave the sky, and the lamps on the boat were all lit.
On the deck, more than 20 people were divided into two tables. One table was eating freshly cooked crabs that were still steaming with ginger and vinegar sauce and some other seafood. The other table had no seafood to eat, but they were eating Comes with stew. There was a man who was good at using knives. He picked up the fresh fish right next to him, sliced it into pieces and ate it with a spicy condiment made from ground mustard seeds.
Both tables were empty of alcohol. In fact, the highly distilled alcohol at this time was just like Shao Daozi from Beidi. The remaining alcohol was not considered high in alcohol content. Five cups won't hurt.
Only Li Dalang acted cautiously, not only because he was afraid of getting into trouble by drinking, but also because he was afraid that someone would drop something dirty while eating and drinking.
Therefore, as long as the team he leads is still performing its mission, it will definitely not touch alcohol.
However, most of the people in this team came from poor families. They were satisfied with eating meat, but they still couldn't taste the wine.
"According to the arrangements, we will enter the river from the sea tomorrow. Brothers, be more alert and wait until we can return to Chang'an. I will treat the brothers to a drink!"
"Boss, don't worry. !”
“Boss, you guys are all aware of this.”
“Haha, it’s time to go back. We’ve been out here for more than a year.”
Li Dalang took a sip of tea and listened to his brothers' words. He missed Chang'an a lot more.
Although he has returned home in the meantime, unlike these brothers, he has not seen his family for more than a year, but how can he not miss his family all the time? Where are people?
“Counting the days, the letter sent in Qiongzhou should have been received by now, right?
I wonder how Rokuro looks like?
Katsunan is living at home How good is it?
Are Aye Aniang and Aweng Apo okay? ”
With the night wind, Li Dalang’s longing for home also drifted to Chang’an in the distance.
In a large house more than 20 miles away from Tianmen Port, the lights Not only is it bright, but it is also filled with the aroma of wine.
This place is no other than the Governor's Mansion where Du Qinghui, the leader of the Du Jiajun, is enjoying the dance of the beautiful dancer. Most of the people drinking expensive wine were generals under Du Qinghui
Of course, among these people there are also people like Lu Yunting who dress up as writers and are Du Qinghui's confidants.
Actually, in addition to these two types of people, there are two other people sitting below Lu Yunting, which is really surprising.
These two people are not outsiders, they are really old acquaintances of Li Sanniang from a foreign land. They are Ding Mingxuan and Ding Anbai, the brothers of the Ding family who are the wallflowers.
To be honest, these two people are worthy of their reputation as wallflowers. Earlier, they wanted to follow Du Qinghui to eat meat, but then they were frightened by Li Sanniang’s identity as a bad person, and they felt that Emperor Wu was the orthodox one. Then he turned around and wanted to bet on Emperor Wu again.
As a result, when the drug case was revealed, the two of them finally felt hot and shamelessly came to Jiangnan to pick up Du Qinghui.
In Lu Yunting's words: "They are just two unprofitable businessmen who can't afford to be early. It's not that they can't be used, but the ropes in their hands must be tightened to prevent them from betraying the master."
