Chapter 17 Ximen Fighting

When the motorcade arrived at the west gate of Yanzhou, Yu Qun and Yao Xiu had already stood under the gate. When the second housekeeper of Guangcheng Gongfu, who led the convoy into the city, saw that Yu Qun was also standing at the gate, he couldn't help but be a little panicked. When the motorcade was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate of the Acropolis, he came down from the horse and walked to the group, "Young General, I haven't seen you for many days. How have you been recently?"

"It's okay! Old housekeeper. Seeing that it was Changsheng, he smiled politely, "What are you shipping to my uncle?"

"Hi! There is nothing valuable." Changsheng first sighed, and then said, "It's all mountain stones and so on, and then some cloth."

"Mountain stone? Cloth?" After listening to Yu Changsheng's words, he looked at the vehicle curiously. Indeed, the boxes opened by the soldiers showed green coarse cloth and some animal skins. And it is indeed some stones that are not boxed and stacked directly on the car. After looking at it, he turned around and looked at Changsheng, "Is there still a shortage of cloth in my uncle's house? What are these stones for?

"In the words of the major general, these cloths are to reward the workers who renovated the ducal palace. These stones are used to rebuild a rockery in the house. Changsheng replied respectfully, "As you know, my Duke Guangcheng likes these mountains, stones and so on."

"Is it?" Yuqun asked rhetorically, and then he walked to a car and grabbed a roll of coarse cloth from the box. "This cloth looks rough, but it feels quite strong." As he spoke, he pulled the cloth hard, and the cloth cracked, "Alas! Try it well, but it's still a rag after all. After saying that, he threw the cloth back into the box. "So is my uncle. He rewards the workers with these things?"

"It's wartime, and the father-in-law doesn't have much money in his hand!" Changsheng bent down and replied respectfully, "This is the cloth that my father-in-law asked someone to buy from Yunzhou!"

"Is it?" Hearing Yu Changsheng's words, the concubine grinned. He thought that the concubine was really cunning. He had already figured out that he wanted to ask why they didn't buy it from the city because it was ordinary cloth. Nuqun walked to the stone-loaded vehicle again, "Is there no cloth in this city? Besides, it's also expensive to ship from Yunzhou, isn't it?

"The major general didn't know anything. The father-in-law said that the cloth in this city should be reserved for the soldiers in front of him." Xiang Changsheng replied, "And, as you know, this Yunzhou cloth has always been cheaper than ours. In addition, the father-in-law also has an industry in Yunzhou, so the vehicle back to Yunzhou is also empty. It's better to transport some cloth back.

"Oh! My uncle found these stones very well. The concubine raised a boulder from the car, looked at it, and then sent it back. "This stone looks so inconspicuous that it looks like jade?"

"Ha ha, the young general laughed." Changsheng glanced at the stone and then replied with a smile, "That's just a piece of quartz stone, not jade. If the young general likes it, I will send it to you on behalf of my father-in-law.

"That's good!" The group waved his hand, and then he looked at the servants who followed the car account, "It seems that the work of quarrying in the mountains is very hard! Many people have injuries on their faces.

"Yes, yes!" When Changsheng heard the wound on his subordinate's face, he couldn't help sweating coldly. In addition to this person, he is really not afraid of anything wrong with the goods he transported to the city. Ordinary cloth and stones extracted from the mountains, at most, you can say that Guangcheng Gonghuai is stingy. Even if you doubt it, you can't catch the evidence, just this person...

"If my uncle doesn't dislike it, in fact, I have a lot of idle stones there." The concubine stared at the face of his servants for a while, and then said casually to the concubine Changsheng, "In fact, there is no need for his uncle to send someone to mine stones in the mountains. There are many in my camp. Just let him use it first."

"Well... I'll thank the young general first." A smile was squeezed out of the concubine's face, and he smiled at the concubine group.

At this time, several fast horses rushed here from the West Gate Market. The leader is also a young general. Based on his age, he should be similar to or slightly older. When he arrived at the west gate, he turned over and got off the horse, and then walked to the side of Qi Qun and Changsheng.

"Cousin, have you always been well?" First, the visitor greeted Yuqun politely, and then he saw Yao Xiu following him, and then said to Yao Xiu, "Yo? Sister Xiu'er is also here? This person is not someone else but Changpeng, the eldest son of Guangcheng Gonghuai.

"Hold brother!" When Yu Qun and Yao Xiu saw that it was Yu Peng, the two of them greeted together. After greeting, Yao Xiu walked to Yupeng and said, "Brother Peng, you haven't come to Yao Shubao for a long time. I'm waiting for you to take me to hunt!"

"Haha! Brother, I've been busy lately. There is no time." Yupeng replied with a smile, "My father is going to repair the mansion, and I have to obey my orders in the imperial guard. I really don't have time."

"Brother, this is your fault! No matter how busy you are, you can't be cold brotherhood. After listening to Yu Peng's words, he replied with a smile, "That's right! If you don't come, I forgot! I got something a few days ago, and I think my uncle will like it. After saying that, he waved to the guard behind him, who held a tray with a delicate metal box on it.

When Yu Peng saw it, he reached out and picked up the box and looked at it carefully, "The box is so exquisite!" I just don't know what kind of baby it contains.

"Hehe! My brother laughed when he saw it. When Yu Qun saw that Qipeng praised the box, he replied with a smile, "It's just a piece of jade." After listening to Yuqun's words, he carefully opened the box. Sure enough, a piece of light, crystal clear sheep fat and jade lay quietly in the box.

"Haha! Brother, my father must be very happy to see this jade!" Yu Peng looked at the jade's compliment and said, "It's still my group of brothers who will look for something!" It's really a rare product."

"In this case, brother, why don't you take the motorcade back home quickly!" As the concubine said, he glanced at the servants escorting the convoy, "Brother, you can tell your uncle, Stone, I have it!" Don't go out to pick any more.

"Good! It's just that your brother's stones will be used to defend the city in the future. How can my father and I misappropriate them casually? Yu Peng first agreed, and then refused, "Let them pick some!"

"Hehe! It's just that these workers look badly injured! Or...it doesn't matter!" Yuqun replied with a smile, "Since you are willing to work hard, this is your family matter, so I don't care!" After saying that, Yu Qun waved his hand to Zuo Liangcheng, "Let go! Let it go! Don't check all my uncle's belongings.

"Then thank you, brothers!" When Yu Peng saw that Yuqun agreed to let the convoy pass, he immediately thanked Yuqun. Then he turned his head and looked at Yao Xiu, "Xiuer, would you like to go to the Duke's Mansion with me?"

"I'm not going! I heard from my brother Qun. Your house is being repaired, and now it is all construction sites. I don't want to go to that dirty place!" Yao Xiu shook her head and replied that she deliberately aggravated the word "dirty" in a lot of tone.

"Hehe! That's good." Yu Peng didn't care about Yao Xiu's words. Yao Xiu had always been wayward in front of their brothers, and no one would think there was anything wrong with Yao Xiu's words. Immediately, Yao Peng got on the war horse, and he said to the group, "Brothers, if you have time to go home to find me tonight!" We haven't talked for a long time.

"Good! Brother, don't worry." Kunqun replied, "If I have time, I will definitely go and talk about it!" After saying that, he saluted Yu Peng. The latter took his men and led the motorcade back home.

As soon as Yupeng walked far away, Yuqun gently pulled Yao Xiu's sleeves, "Xiuer, have you noticed the faces of those accompanying servants?"

"What? They are all ordinary original people!" Yao Xiu replied in surprise. She also checked the vehicles that entered the city today, and she didn't feel anything wrong with the car. Therefore, she did not scold Yu Qun for letting the convoy enter the city.

"Those people's faces seem to be pasted!" Seeing that there was no one left and right, he leaned over Yao Xiu's ear and whispered.
