Kai Fu Han

Chapter 147

"This time is enough for you to notify me, and then I will rush back to Dengzhou."

"Goryeo and Japan are both unfamiliar to Dengzhou Navy. My immortal magic will play a big role in establishing trade routes, so I must participate in this northward trade operation."

After hearing Liu Xinqi's explanation, Zhou Xinyuan said:

"Since you have thought it through, that's good."

……

July [-]th.

The day before Liu Xinqi set off for Goryeo, he finally spared half a day to accompany Zhou Yue.

The two had an intimate chat at home, and then wandered around the streets of Penglai.

Liu Xinqi bought a beautifully made silver hairpin for Zhou Yue. Although this hairpin is not very expensive, it is very beautifully made due to the craftsman's skill. The tail of the hairpin is engraved with a silver phoenix and is worn on the head. If people move around, the phoenix will "dance" as if it is coming to life.

"You are such a person. You just walked with me for a short while and you didn't forget to help you get someone." After walking away from the stall, Zhou Yue said angrily to Liu Xinqi.

But Liu Xinqi could tell that these words were just coquettish and not really angry and blaming.

"This craftsman's craftsmanship is indeed so good that it makes people laugh. It would be too much of a waste of his exquisite skills to just be a hairpin maker." Liu Xinqi replied.

It turned out that after buying the hairpin just now, Liu Xinqi saw that the skills displayed on the hairpin were extraordinary. For this era, the craftsmanship is extremely complex, and the combination of various structures can make the phoenix at the tail of the hairpin come alive.

Liu Xinqi couldn't help but reveal his identity to him, and invited him to join the Xinghan League and work under Liu Zhimu, the engineering secretary, to give full play to his talents.

The craftsman did not agree on the spot, saying that he needed to think about it after returning home, but he left his home address for Liu Xinqi.

Liu Xinqi planned to ask Liu Zhimu to arrange for someone to come and invite him again after he returned.

"But you also get rejected sometimes, which is very interesting, hee hee hee..." Zhou Yue teased Liu Xinqi.

"I'm not gold and silver, how can I be so irresistible to everyone?" Liu Xinqi rolled his eyes slightly.

The two of them walked near the bell tower and saw Luo Cheng pulling a six-foot-tall (2-meter) strong man, talking about something. The strong man looked impatient, but because Luo Cheng had attached the general card, he had great strength. , he couldn't break free and could only listen.

"Let's go and see."

Zhou Yue also noticed the changes in Liu Xinqi and saw Luo Cheng. She did not refuse and followed Liu Xinqi obediently towards Luo Cheng.

The two of them walked about two steps behind Luo Cheng, and Liu Xinqi shouted softly:
"uncle."

Luo Cheng turned around and saw Liu Xinqi, his face lit up with joy.

"You're here just in time, let me introduce you." Luo Chengxian pointed at Liu Xinqi and introduced to the big man: "This is Liu Xinqi, the leader of the Xinghan League. I have told you many times."

Then he pointed at the big man and introduced to Liu Xinqi: "This is Sun Li, a fellow magistrate of Dengzhou."

Liu Xinqi heard his doubts and found that there was already a fellow intellectual in Dengzhou. Liu Xinqi knew him, but he was not this person.

However, the position of Tongzhi is equivalent to the deputy position of Zhizhou. It is normal for some larger states to have two. But the strange thing is that Liu Xinqi has been in Penglai for so long and has never heard of another Zhizhou in Dengzhou.

And the name is familiar.

Observing his body shape carefully, it is indeed consistent with the image in the novel.

"Water Margin" described the man as eight feet tall. In the previous Song Dynasty, a foot was nearly 32 centimeters, and eight feet was 256 centimeters. It was too inhuman and should have been an exaggerated description in the novel. The current six feet (2 meters) is more consistent with common sense.Liu Xinqi has been in this world for more than ten years, and he has heard sporadic stories about the heroes of Liangshanbo before. However, at that time, Liujiabao's life was peaceful and he did not get involved, so he had no contact with these heroes.

From Qizhou to Dengzhou, even though he traveled thousands of miles, he never saw a living Liangshan hero.

Could this be one of them today?

"Sick Yuchi-Sun Li?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"Oh? It seems you have heard of it. You are right. This is Sun Li, who is known as Sick Yuchi." Luo Cheng replied.

"Long time!"

Liu Xinqi raised his hand to Sun Li.

"How dare you, 'Cuddling Tiger Arhat' Liu Xinqi, I am also very familiar with it. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary." Sun Li returned the greeting with his hands in hand. He probably understood that he would not be able to leave for a while, so he relaxed.

"There are rumors about you in the world. It's rare to see you today. I'll treat you to a drink."

Liu Xinqi saw that the two were not at odds with each other, so he invited Sun Li for a drink and gave Luo Cheng an opportunity to talk.

Although Sun Li's military force in the novel is superb, what the Xinghan League is most indispensable for now is high-end military force, and Liu Xinqi is not that rare.

It's not rare at all. It's the first time I see a "living" person in a book, and I still have some curiosity. It's a beautiful thing to make friends over a meal and satisfy the sense of wonder from the souls of later generations.

It is estimated that Sun Li was also interested in getting to know Liu Xinqi, so he readily agreed.

The four of them walked towards the restaurant.

In "Water Margin", Sun Li was originally under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou soldiers and horses. After joining Liangshan, he fought in all directions. He was one of the last surviving leaders. He was named Wu Yilang by the imperial court, but he still returned to Dengzhou as an official.

In this life, the Zhao State Prefecture did not have any official positions with jurisdiction over military affairs.

In the previous generation, the Song Dynasty was in charge of the army and horses of a state. It was responsible for internal warfare and the capture of robbers within the country. Contrary to the Dujian, Du was in charge of external operations.

In this generation, the state government of Zhao State had Tongzhi, with no fixed number of members. He was responsible for local affairs such as salt, grain, poaching, river defense, maritime border, cleaning up military status, and appeasing the people and barbarians. He was equivalent to a deputy governor.

Just now Luo Cheng introduced Sun Li as a fellow magistrate of Dengzhou. His official position is basically the same as in "Water Margin". I think this person's talents should be comparable to those in the book.

After several people arrived at the hotel, the shopkeeper knew Luo Cheng and Sun Li and immediately arranged a private room.

After sitting down in the room, they poured tea and waited for the food and drinks to be served. They drank tea and chatted.

Liu Xinqi asked:
"I would like to ask, I have been in Dengzhou for a long time, why have I never heard of you as a magistrate of the state?"

"You're welcome, Leader Liu. You can just call me by my name, but I don't think I should address you as 'you'."

Sun Li did not answer directly, but said politely.

"You two, don't be polite. Sun Li and I are similar in age. We have an irreversible friendship. Xinqi, you can call me uncle."

"Don't dare, don't dare. It's all up to each other. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Sun."

Before Liu Xinqi responded, Sun Li directly rejected Luo Cheng's proposal and put forward his own opinion.

"I'll call you Sun Tongzhi, you can just call me Xinqi." Liu Xinqi replied.
