Traveling to Xianwu

Chapter 348
"The disciple tried to deal with it for a long time, but the other party refused to let go. Now that we are in short supply of war horses, the disciple gritted his teeth and agreed, but the price is [-]% higher than what we estimated before, and the quantity is only [-] horses!" Zhang Cheng said. As he spoke, he looked nervously at Shen Chengping's expression.

"Well, Zhang Cheng, you did a good job!" Shen Chengping nodded and said: "War horses are a scarce resource nowadays, not only us, but all major forces have bought war horses from Pegasus Ranch, and now our Dragon and Tiger Gate are in the eyes of others. It's just a newly rising small force, these old guys from Pegasus Ranch are used to being praised, and they will inevitably be neglected when they meet us, but now we are begging them, so it is understandable to be manipulated!"

Shen Chengping's tone of voice was understated, but everyone around could hear that Shen Chengping obviously made a mark on Pegasus Ranch because of this, and it was the same in fact. Regardless of the situation at the slightest loss, he immediately retaliates back, but this does not prevent him from recovering his principal and interest in the future.

"Hmph, it seems that when the Pegasus Ranch is besieged by the four bandits in the future, I will also join in the fun!" Shen Chengping thought in his heart, but said to Kou Zhong lightly: "I think you seem to be very leisurely recently. , since that’s the case, starting today, apart from your daily homework, you and Ziling will follow your senior brother to learn how to handle affairs in the Dragon and Tiger Gate!”

"Yes, Master!" Hearing Shen Chengping's sudden words, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's faces were filled with joy. They always wanted to get ahead, and they had long hoped to get in touch with real things. Shen Chengping's arrangement can be said to be exactly what they wanted.

Shen Chengping nodded secretly. These two boys really deserved to be the protagonists of the Tang Dynasty. Their aptitude and savvy even surprised Shen Chengping. However, in half a year, the few martial arts passed on to them after becoming famous have been slightly reduced. It's done, and besides that, the art of war, economy, and strategy taught by Shen Chengping are also learned very quickly. It's just that because of less experience, the fire is still a little worse. Naturally, Shen Chengping will not let them idle at this time. This is also the intention to let them come to this meeting for the first time.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, the weather is clear these few days, the full moon like a jade plate sprinkles the moonlight, and the river water is shimmering, and there is a young girl who is only eighteen or nineteen years old sitting on the bow of the passenger boat on the river. Wearing a long lavender dress, the skirt is decorated like a butterfly, her long hair is tied with a light blue belt, hanging down her shoulders on her chest, her delicate facial features give her a very gentle feeling , There is a delicate feeling that makes people feel pity involuntarily.

At this time, the moonlight was as hazy as frost, and shone on the girl like a layer of faint green veil, but the girl was holding a lotus flower in her hand, and her slender fingers were twisting the white lotus flower as frost, and the petals of the lotus flower were quilted. The girl plucked them open, put them petal by petal in the water, and floated away with the water.

Not long after, the girl hummed a soft little tune. She sang "Jiangnan" from the Han Yuefu: "In the south of the Yangtze River, you can pick lotus, and the lotus leaves are Tiantian. Fish play among the lotus leaves, fish play with the east of the lotus leaf, fish play with the west of the lotus leaf, and fish play with the lotus leaf." Playing with lotus leaves in the south, and fish playing with lotus leaves in the north." The soft voice sang the unique charm of Jiangnan water town, adding a little tenderness to the brilliant moonlight.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came from behind, the girl turned her head, a look of surprise appeared on her face, but it was a young man in a green robe, the girl greeted her happily, the boy smiled slightly, took the girl into his arms, and hugged her The girl's tender body turned around and sat down on the side of the boat.With his head buried in the girl's long hair, while gently sniffing the fragrance of the girl's hair, he said, "You sang beautifully, why did you stop?"

"Young master, do you like to listen?" Zhenzhen was overjoyed, and said immediately: "Can Zhenzhen sing along with the piano for the young master?"

After Shen Chengping nodded, Zhenzhen happily jumped out of Shen Chengping's arms, walked into the cabin, and soon brought out a case and a piano.

Accompanied by Qingyue's piano sound, Zhenzhen's crisp and soft voice sounded under the moon: "Ruoye River is next to picking lotus girls, laughing and talking to people across the lotus, the sun shines on the new make-up, the water is bright, and the fragrance is flying in the air. Who is swimming on the shore?" Yelang, the weeping willows are reflected in threes and fives, and the purple horse hisses into the falling flowers, seeing this spider scurrying around makes me heartbroken."

This song is actually Li Bai's "Plucking Lotus", Shen Chengping took it out without any hesitation, and used it when teaching Zhenzhen, and now Zhenzhen sings it, it has a special charm.

At this time, Shen Chengping and Wei Zhenzhen were not simply boating on the river, but for the affairs of the Giant Whale Gang. Although Yun Yufei, the old leader of the Giant Whale Gang, died in an assassination, the strength of the Giant Whale Gang is still there. , it has countless strongholds all over the Yangtze River, and it is not comparable to the giant whale gang that can be seen to have declined more than two years later.

"Master, is this Miss Yun the one we met in Danyang? I didn't expect her to manage such a big gang at such a young age!" Zhenzhen couldn't help but said.

"It's just forced by current events!" Shen Chengping said flatly. Now, he has gone through several reincarnations, and Shen Chengping has passed the stage of being affected by the original plot. For reference, to really look at a person, Shen Chengping still believes in his own vision.

In the original work of Tang Dynasty, Yun Yuzhen is really a prodigal woman. Most people who have read the novel don’t have a good impression of Yun Yuzhen. Shen Chengping was also like this at the beginning, but now in Shen Chengping’s view, Yun Yuzhen is no more than that. She is an ordinary girl, and her later changes can only be said to be due to chance, but even so, Shen Chengping decided to participate in the competition to recruit relatives, and many of them were because of the Giant Whale Gang. There are so many poor women, it is impossible for Shen Chengping to care for all of them.

After a while, Shen Chengping heard a strange, or unbearable flute sound, as piercing as sharp claws scratching across an iron plate. Shen Chengping frowned, turned his head to look at the source of the sound, but it was a passing It was a big boat, and the person standing on the bow was actually an acquaintance.

Shen Chengping recognized the person who came at a glance, and it happened that the person also saw Shen Chengping's side, after a little sizing, he also recognized Shen Chengping, and immediately said loudly: "But Shen Chengping, Brother Shen? I didn't expect to see you here today. To Brother Shen!"

With this loud shout, the noise-like flute sound also stopped abruptly, and when Shen Chengping stood up, the man saluted directly.

Shen Chengping also smiled slightly, he did not expect to meet an acquaintance here, and the person in front of him was no one else, it was Song Shidao, who had met Shen Chengping in Yangzhou before, and Shen Chengping said loudly: "It turns out that it is Shidao Brother Dao, come here and be safe!"
