Chapter 157

~7 min read 1,287 words

Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and the others lead the young men from the village to throw the hundreds of heads to the edge of the Jinyang city moat.

Looking at those hundreds of heads.

Liu Wei, standing in front of the city gate with clenched fists, cannot calm his mood for a long time.

"I am so angry."

Liu Wei grinds his teeth.

A few years ago, when Dong Zhuo first came to Bingzhou, the two had a contest.

The outcome was very clear; he won, and Dong Zhuo lost.

Dong Zhuo has been very well-behaved these years.

It can't be called well-behaved; it should be said he was kept very obedient by him.

For this reason, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang several times, wanting to find a way out and be transferred to another place as an official.

This matter was told to him by his friends in Luoyang.

Just didn't expect.

Now, this brute from Liangzhou has actually turned around and ridden on his head.

"Return to the mansion."

Liu Wei says fiercely.

The time is approaching afternoon.

West Market.

Zhen Jiang, dressed in white as snow, is walking in the West Market with her personal maid and two attendants.

At this time, with the spring warmth and the melting of the prairie snow, the furs that had been trapped in the prairie for an entire winter have been transported to Jinyang from Jiuyuan and Yunzhong.

At this moment, large numbers of fur merchants can be seen everywhere in the West Market.

There are Han merchants dressed in Han robes with fur coats on the outside.

There are also Hu merchants dressed in Hu robes who have traveled in the Han lands for years.

And a small number of Xianbei and Xiongnu peddlers carrying furs on horses from the Xianbei and Xiongnu prairies.

The vast West Market is mixed with the sounds of hawking and the unpleasant smell of livestock manure.

This is Zhen Jiang's first time in such a place.

Compared to the maidservant covering her nose and mouth with a handkerchief, Zhen Jiang is doing better.

"Hey, have you heard? That guy who was setting up a stall in our market a few days ago and shooting tigers."

"I heard he wiped out the Longshan bandits."

A group of people is gathered around a fur merchant.

The fur merchant sitting behind the ox cart speaks with great excitement, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"That man's name is Duan Yu; a few days ago, he was still a tiny village man, and because of his outstanding archery skills, shooting tigers and bears, he was quite famous in this market."

"Later, I heard that I don't know how, but he became a Patrol Officer in the village."

"Just yesterday, it is said that he was alone on horseback with a strong bow, and he shot and killed all three hundred bandits by himself."

The merchant gestures while speaking, showing the appearance of drawing a bow left and right.

It's just that his thin body looks completely different from Duan Yu's.

Even the maidservant standing behind Zhen Jiang, seeing this scene, cannot help but cover her red lips and laugh lightly:

"Miss, this person is really good at bragging, as if he had really seen Young Master Duan."

Zhen Jiang smiles slightly.

In her beautiful eyes, Duan Yu's tall and straight figure seems to have really appeared.

I wonder how he... is doing.

Zhen Jiang instinctively stops, wanting to hear something about Duan Yu from the fur merchant's mouth.

After arriving in Jinyang at noon, Duan Yu let their group enter the city first.

She knows that Duan Yu must have had other important matters.

So she had to enter the city first.

However, before entering the city, she told Duan Yu the name of the inn they were going to stay at.

Just don't know if Duan Yu will come.

After all, a life-saving grace must be repaid.

And Duan Yu didn't just save her; there were dozens of slaves, attendants, and maids of the Zhen clan.

While the talk was getting exciting, Jia Dong stood on the ox cart.

It's just that the wolf-skin coat he was wearing looked a bit too big, which looked a bit funny.

"That Duan Yu held a precious bow, stood on his horse, and drew it left and right."

"I saw arrows falling like rain, like locusts, and in an instant, he shot and killed dozens of Longshan bandits."

"Corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like a river!"

"And every arrow of Duan Yu's was extremely precise, every arrow went straight into the brow, piercing through the brain!"

Jia Dong reaches forward, his thin arms gesturing, and his facial features seem to be twisted together.

However, the merchants and passersby around were all attracted by Jia Dong's performance and story.

"Everyone, it is not that I, Jia Dong, am bragging; if you don't believe me, go outside the city and see for yourselves."

"Every head was shot in the brow!"

"And it is said that over three hundred Longshan bandits were slaughtered by Duan Yu."

"Just at noon today, Duan Yu returned, carrying over three hundred heads."

"It immediately alarmed the Commandery Governor and the Inspector."

Jia Dong cups his hands high toward the east side and says: "Are the Commandery Governor and the Inspector people like us?"

"They immediately saw that Duan Yu was not a thing in a pool; with such bravery, he will surely be enfeoffed as a marquis and become a general in the future."

"So, both of them spoke up to recruit him as their son-in-law."

"Finally, after some deliberation, Duan Yu chose the Inspector and returned to the mansion with the Inspector."

"If you ask me," Jia Dong smiles slightly: "It won't be long before Duan Yu marries the Inspector's daughter."

"At that time, Duan Yu will surely be famous in Bingzhou."

"It's a coincidence, everyone."

Jia Dong shakes his hand, takes out a white fox fur from behind him, and says proudly: "Have you all seen this fox fur in my hand?"

"Look, is there even a single arrow wound?"

Jia Dong says this, and it really attracts the observation of many fur merchants around.

Looking closely, there is indeed no arrow wound.

"Hehe!"

Jia Dong shows his teeth proudly and says with a smile: "Everyone, to tell you the truth, I received this fox fur from Duan Yu some time ago."

"Everyone, if you wait until Duan Yu makes his fortune, the price of this fox fur will have a different meaning."

"I'll tell you the truth, if I weren't in urgent need of money now, I wouldn't take this fox fur out no matter what."

"If I keep it until the day Duan Yu is enfeoffed as a marquis and becomes a general, this fox fur alone will be worth a thousand gold; do you believe it?"

"But today, I have to sell this fox fur with pain."

"Ten gold, I only want ten gold!"

Jia Dong gestures: "For only ten gold, you can own this fox fur that will be worth a thousand gold in the future!"

"Those who are fast will have it, those who are slow will not!"

Jia Dong shakes the fox fur in his hand and tries hard to show it to everyone.

"Pfft!"

"Brother, are you crazy from poverty?"

"Ten gold? Why don't you go rob someone?"

"This fox fur is worth at most four hundred cash, and you want ten gold?"

"Scatter, scatter!"

The crowd that was gathered around Jia Dong a second ago almost scattered in the next second.

"Hey, hey, don't go!" ===== CHAPTER 159 =====
