I’m The King Chapter 16: :Barrack
After spending several days in my own wine room, I finally let the masters of the Wu family understand the process of making these high-alcohol wines. Among them, the process of making koji took a day, but this is after all. For some connoisseurs, when they have mastered the most difficult temperature control, the others will quickly rise. Gao Yuan has reason to believe that in the hands of these masters who have made wine for a generation, their craftsmanship will definitely be carried forward by them. It's just that a curtain was covered in front of them. When I lifted the curtain for them, what appeared in front of them was a vast world.
The money problem has been temporarily resolved, and now Gao Yuan has decided to put his sights on the 100-man army that he is about to acquire. The one-night conversation with Wu Kai not only felt that Wu Kai had gained a lot, Gao Yuan also benefited a lot.
The Wu family's wine making technology is considered good in this era, but the Wu family would rather spend a lot of money every year to keep the seat of the county magistrate. To do business, he will definitely shine more brilliantly than in the county magistrate's seat, but in this era, not just this era, it is the same in any era. If you want to keep wealth forever, you must have Enough power.
Now my power is very small, Lu Hong's power is also very small, and Wu Kai's power is also very small. These powers are all confined to a small Fufeng County. Looking at the country of Yan, these people can only be regarded as small shrimps , not even a fish. The greater the wealth, the greater the danger. Maybe one day, a big fish will stare at you. If you don’t have enough strength, you will definitely swallow it until there is nothing left.
Both Wu Kai and Lu Hong didn't see this problem clearly. Of course, they can't be blamed for it. In their eyes, the prefect of Liaoxi County is already a remarkable figure. What can be borrowed is not always available. If there are greater interests in front of them, Gao Yuan believes that those big men will abandon them without hesitation.
Therefore, only when you are more powerful can you protect yourself.
In the previous life, Gao Yuan had already tasted enough of the hardships of those big men. When he lost his use value, in the blink of an eye, the boss who once valued him very much and loved him so much sold him without hesitation, just for a million.
I can no longer suffer from this loss. Only when power is held in my own hands is real power.
Liaoxi County is remote, not as prosperous as the Central Plains, but remoteness also has the advantages of remoteness. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. I have enough time to grow until my weak body becomes stronger.
Gao Yuanyao's weapon has already been sent over. This is a three-sided military thorn with three fronts. It is different from ordinary military thorns. A hand guard is added to the handle, which makes it easier to hold it. With a deep blood groove, Gao Yuan smiled coldly. In this life, I don't know how many people died under this weapon.
Next to the military thorn, there is a thin knife. Zhang Yi is really reliable in his work. It is made of the best refined steel. Next to it, there was a faint blue light, picked up the knife, and turned the fingers, the knife immediately spun between the fingers, faster and faster, and finally disappeared, only a ball of light and shadow flashed between the fingers After playing for a long time, the finger retracted, the knife had disappeared in Gao Yuan's hand, and the wrist was bent again, and the knife popped out from the sleeve.
"Brothers, I finally have you again!" Gao Yuan looked at the two weapons with a lot of emotions. If the military stab is a tiger in his hands, then this small knife is the one he hides from people's sight. In the life-and-death fighting arena, I don’t know how many people’s carotid arteries were cut by this thin knife, and the blood flowed out to death. These people died without knowing exactly how they were injured. Of course they didn’t know , when Gao Yuan's knife pops out, the victim will surely die.
He only lost once, and that time was also when he died.
The death of the previous life is the beginning of this life. In this life, I will not let anyone betray me.
"Young master, Deputy Captain Zhang is here!" Zhang Yi's voice sounded outside, Gao Yuan wiped his hand on the table, the knife disappeared, he picked up the military stab, stuck it in the scabbard made of cowhide at his waist, and Gao Yuan strode out Go to the door, Zhang Han, is Lu Hong's deputy, he is here to send himself to the post.
"Deputy Zhang, I'm sorry!" Gao Yuan was dressed in tight clothes, with a wide leather belt around his waist, and his tall and generous figure was unmistakable. He gave a loud cry, what a heroic man.
"Don't dare, since Lieutenant Lu ordered, Zhang will serve you!" Zhang Han said with a smile. Gao Yuan is his subordinate, so naturally he doesn't need to return the courtesy, let alone kissing the gate of Gao's mansion is enough. Save high face.
Gao Yuan smiled slightly, and he naturally heard the meaning of Zhang Han's words clearly. The other party was trying to save face for Mr. Lu, not for himself.
"Brother Gao is going to the barracks at the south gate, and it's not too far from here. Why don't we just walk there, and I'll tell Brother Gao about the situation of the Centurion along the way?" Zhang Han asked Road.
"Excellent, excellent!" Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Now my eyes are darkened, and I'm feeling panic in my heart. Mr. Zhang can clarify my doubts. Gao Yuan can't ask for it."
"Then let's set off as soon as possible. Brother Gao also happened to know the way, and he will be more familiar with coming and going in the future. I heard that Brother Gao's memory has some problems after he was injured last time?"
"I'm ashamed, the last time I was plotted by a villain, I really can't remember the past. If Mr. Zhang doesn't come and lead me, I really can't find it. Zhang Yi, Mr. Zhang and I walked over, you Send my bedroll, um, and the things I prepared, find a car, and drag them there.”
"Yes, young master!" Zhang Yi stood at the door, bent over and respectfully said.
"What? Brother Gao plans to live in the barracks?" Zhang Han looked at Gao Yuan in surprise, "I'm afraid there won't be enough people to live there. Brother Gao is used to enjoying life, and the barracks are like a pigsty. Those soldiers are also sloppy people, I'm afraid Brother Gao is not used to it. Besides, the military camp is not far from here, so it won't take long to come and go."
Gao Yuan shook his head, "Since I want to be a soldier, I naturally have to live with my brothers. If the brothers live, I will live. Is it possible that the brothers live in a pigsty and I enjoy the blessings alone? I can't do it at a high level."
Zhang Han turned his head and stared at Gao Yuan for a while, nodded, and laughed loudly, "I heard that brother Gao has a heroic spirit before, and now I really know it."
"How can there be any heroism? I used to be ignorant!" Gao Yuan laughed.
"Two days ago, I heard that Mr. Wu's housekeeper also came to visit Brother Gao?"
"I don't have such a big face, but I borrowed some money from Mr. Wu to turn around. Butler Wu is here to give me money."
"Will Lord Wu lend you money?" Zhang Han said in surprise.
"It's not because of Uncle Lu's face. With Uncle Lu as guarantor, Mr. Wu is not afraid that I won't return it." Gao Yuan laughed, but he didn't want people to know about his affairs with the Wu family.
"Understood, brother Gao is lucky to have such an uncle who loves you like Lord Lu."
"That is, that is!" Gao Yuan nodded again and again.
Looking at Gao Yuan, Zhang Han couldn't understand this young man for a while. He had only heard that this man was a rich boy, relying on Lu Hong's backing, he wanted wind and rain in Fufeng City. Deyu, the rumors and this calm young man in front of him can't be linked at all. There are many inaccuracies in Gao Yuan's words, which Zhang Han can still hear.
Looking at Gao Yuan, his eyes fell on Gao Yuan's waist, "Brother Gao, what kind of weapon is this? Why doesn't it have a saber? All the officers in the county have handmade sabers."
"Oh, this is my usual weapon, the knife, I forgot to get it, it's okay, I'll get it someday when I have time." Gao Yuanhun said indifferently.
"This weapon is strange, can you lend me a look?" Zhang Han asked.
"Why not?" Gao Yuan pulled out his military thorn and handed it to Zhang Han.
The three-edged military thorn gleamed with blue light, and the horizontal blood groove in the middle made Zhang Hanxian gasp. He was a man who had been on the battlefield. , wrapped tightly with a thin hemp rope, which looked like it was done by an old hand. Zhang Han's own knife handle was also wrapped with this kind of hemp rope, but Gao Yuan had never been a soldier before. How do you understand this.
"What a sharp weapon for killing people!" Zhang Han smiled and handed back the triangular army stab to Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan took a look at Zhang Han, it should be the first time that the other party has seen such a weapon, he only said that it is a sharp weapon for killing people, obviously he has seen the usefulness of this thing, and he is also a person who knows how to do it.
Looking at Gao Yuan's eyes, Zhang Han smiled, "I went to the battlefield with Mr. Lu back then."
Only then did Gao Yuan suddenly realize that people who have been on the battlefield have different eyesight.
The two were walking, and about an hour later, Zhang Han stopped and pointed to a row of houses in front of him, "We have arrived, and that is the barracks of your army!"
Gao Yuan looked up, and couldn't help but gasped. Zhang Han didn't say much useful things when he talked about this journey, but he was really right in one sentence. This row of barracks really looks like a pigsty. .
