Chapter 6: The Farewell of the Beautiful Woman

"Old man Qian, I knew you wouldn't miss today. Once I leave, you will be the richest man in Liangzhou; you shouldn't be so stingy, right?" Liu Dahao snorted coldly

Liu Dahao said: "Strange?"

Go away

Feng Sanniang is Liu Zheng's mother. She is indeed an extraordinary figure; as a woman, she is a bodyguard who escorts valuables. At the time of this significant event, she happened to be escorting goods to the capital, but Liu Dahao had already sent a letter. Even if she rushed back from the capital, it would still take at least a month.

Everyone, please step aside, step aside!

Everyone agreed, and unexpectedly, two willow coffins were brought in

Having said this, she no longer cast a glance at Liu Zheng, pulled the reins, and galloped away.

This matter quickly spread throughout Liangzhou. The illustrious richest man in Liangzhou, Liu Dahao, was about to be led to the irreparable land of Yinzhu by his own prodigal son.

Zheng'er, what are you so excited about this time?

Indeed, it is a treasure land

You you ... ...

Finally, in Liangzhou, some daily necessities were procured. Liu Zheng instructed Liu Dahao to prepare more green cloth. Although Liu Dahao did not understand the reason, he complied with the request

What is a magnetic field

Liu Zheng asked with a smile

Liu Zheng smiled brightly, weighing the several hundred taels in his hand, took a deep sniff of it, displaying an expression of lustful desire, and casually uttered a word of thanks

Count you in

I will definitely achieve it in the future

Qian Buqun was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reacted with a strange expression: "Cash out?"

This departure ... ...

The weather was hot, and he did not stop drinking water along the way. Fortunately, the two had anticipated this situation and had prepared a considerable amount of fresh water on the donkey's back.

There was even a group of children running behind the donkey, singing a nursery rhyme that no one knew who had just made up.

This is two hundred taels of silver

Then, bring it up for Brother Liu

That group of people, however, is already rushing towards this side

Among the three counties, Yinzhu is actually the closest to Liangzhou. However, it is extremely barren, resulting in a weak sense of presence. Nevertheless, despite the proximity, the two still need to ride a donkey for seven days and six nights.

In the desolate Gobi Desert, individuals like Liu Dahao, who live in comfort and luxury, find it unbearable and lament incessantly

In the night, a dream unexpectedly returns home, at the small window, she is just finishing her makeup. Looking at each other in silence, only tears flow like a thousand lines. I can guess the place where the heart breaks year after year, on the night of the bright moon, at the short pine hill.

Liu Dahao thought to himself, indeed, as the sky grew darker, he exclaimed in horror: "Zheng'er, do you mean to say that we have arrived at the ghost town?"

Liu Zheng, however, stopped his father and chuckled, "The linden wood coffin is quite expensive. Uncle Qian has good intentions, but unfortunately, the two donkeys simply cannot carry it. Would it be better for Uncle Qian to give us the cash instead?"

Could it be that this girl is really interested in me

Upon just entering the city, I intended to find a place to have a meal

Liu Dahao was already exhausted and naturally had no objections

It is quite rhythmic

Liu Zheng was taken aback and then chuckled.

There are those who take pleasure in the misfortunes of others

I never thought that the Tang poetry and Song lyrics I was forced to memorize by my teacher in my previous life would be so valuable

Liu Zheng listened to these nursery rhymes, laughing heartily and not taking them seriously

Chen Ruoshi's cheeks flushed with anger as she exclaimed

Liu Zheng nodded and said: "Why is it that when a donkey goes downhill, it slows down and appears to struggle, while at times when going uphill, it moves swiftly as if it were flying? This is clearly illogical!"

Ha!

Liu Dahao was filled with rage and anxiety

She simply cannot utter another word

A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Liu Zheng's eyes

The red clouds are abundant in Liangzhou

Liu Dahao trembled with excitement all over his body

Departing from Liangzhou, defying the will of heaven

There are those who humiliate and slap others in the face

Gift-giving

Since there is intention, at Liu Zheng's request, we will first stay overnight in Yangzhou before dark

Liu Zheng is delighted, and there are still people sending money

The sound of weapons clashing erupted.

Along the way, many people gathered to watch.

Liu Zheng and Liu Dahao exchanged a glance.

Liu Dahao also had red eyes

On the road, many old friends of Liu Dahao came to bid farewell, and there were also quite a few of Liu Dahao's former servants and maids, their eyes filled with tears, reluctant to part. Liu Dahao was known for his generosity, leaving behind a good reputation.

A look of mockery flashed in Qian Buqun's eyes as he laughed heartily

Liu Zheng wore an expression of displeasure: "How would you know? I like money; what business is it of yours?"

Qian Buqun, with a sullen expression, stepped aside as Chen Ruoshi glared at Liu Zheng once more: "Yinzhou is a lawless land, the journey is perilous, take care of yourself! If you cannot endure it, then return to Liangzhou. Relying on your poetry to make a living is certainly better than dying over there!"

A thousand miles of lonely graves, nowhere to speak of desolation. Even if we meet, we should not recognize each other, with dust covering our faces and hair like frost

Silver State Beach, looking east and west

At that moment, a portly man in splendid attire arrived in a carriage drawn by eight horses, accompanied by a retinue of servants and bodyguards numbering twenty to thirty, exuding an extreme arrogance

Ten years of life and death, both are vague and indistinct; without reflection, it is difficult to forget.

Enough

You, you, you, are driving me crazy! If you and the *illustrated* book are greedy for that money, I will give it to you! But I have one request.

Chen Ruoshi's eyes reddened, as if touched by the sorrow of parting, and she suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain.

The further I walked, the more desolate it became. A couple of days ago, I could still see inns along the road where I could find lodging. By the third day, several hours had passed without encountering a single soul.

You ... ...

Qian Buqun, who was promoted by Chen Ping, is now a wealthy businessman, while Liu Dahao has fallen from grace. With Qian Buqun rising to power, Chen Ping has finally removed a significant concern from his mind. Naturally, Qian Buqun, having achieved success as a petty person, will come to humiliate him.

Old Liu, we await your return to Liangzhou!

The sun sets in the west

Money is not the issue, but rather heartfelt concern: "Brother Liu, you must understand my intentions! That Silver Prefecture is indeed a lawless place. If we encounter bandits along the way, we certainly cannot leave our bodies exposed in the wilderness, can we?"

Are you coming again

Liu Zheng chuckled, reaching out with his hand under the mocking gazes of the people

Puff ... ...

Liu Zheng also did not know how to explain

Qian Buqun laughed heartily towards the sky: "Good, good, good. I never expected that Brother Liu, a hero of his time, would produce such a thing. Very well, let's cash it out: two coffins, worth two hundred taels of silver!"

"Yesterday's poem, please compose another! If this young lady is satisfied, all of these shall be yours"

At that moment, a swift horse galloped towards them. A sharp voice scolded, and a riding whip struck Liu Zheng's wrist, causing him to feel a sudden pain. Just as he was about to curse, he realized it was Chen Ruoshi, dressed entirely in red, which forced him to swallow back the words of reproach.

However, he knew that there was only one possible reason for the disturbance in this magnetic field: the presence of a large-scale mine! Although it is currently unknown whether it is an iron mine, a gold mine, a silver mine, or bauxite, etc., any of these could lead to such a situation! Moreover, it must be an extraordinarily rich deposit for this to occur!

As soon as this person arrived, the crowd on the street dispersed significantly, fearing being trampled by the horses

Chen Ruoshi took out a purse, her eyes shimmering with a subtle glimmer

One person

Harsh words were left unspoken

Their income has significantly decreased! This line, filled with a sense of grievance, referring to "the dead ghost" and "Master Liu," has spread throughout the streets and alleys

Chen Ruoshi let out a cry

Old man Qian, you ... ...

Miss Chen

On that parchment map, this is the "Wangshan Slope" within the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, which is closest to Yinzhou. Due to the influence of the magnetic field, people who arrive here may experience deviations in direction and momentum, hence the phrase "Wangshan Pao Si Ma" is derived from this meaning. Yangzhou is similarly barren, though slightly better than Yinzhou.

The entire venue erupted in an uproar, with everyone saying that this person is being excessively unreasonable by gifting a coffin, is it not a curse upon others to wish them dead

Say!

"Father, do you have a strange feeling?"

Both individuals are on the donkey's back; although their faces are quite parched, their bodies show little dust from travel

Qian Buqun wishes to greet.

However, at yesterday's poetry gathering, he gazed at the poems he had composed, particularly that timeless masterpiece from just a moment ago

Liu Dahao let out a cold laugh

He is very unhappy

Chen Ruoshi glared at Liu Zheng, her delicate body trembling, her eyes reflecting a complex expression

Liu Zheng spat out a mouthful of water, choking himself in the process. He helplessly glared at Liu Dahao and shook his head, saying: "The magnetic field here is off!"

Three consecutive days

The servants burst into loud laughter.

Then Qian Buqun chuckled: "Brother Liu, your words are quite different from the truth. The entire enterprise you have managed throughout your life has all come into my hands. How could I possibly mock you? I am here to present a gift"

It is said that

Liu Jiaweng, the donkey is ridden backwards

Two donkeys, along with luggage

Before the sun set, the two finally arrived in Yangzhou

Upon hearing that the young master of the Liu family is to leave Liangzhou, the courtesans of this land of countless pleasures bid him farewell with tears in their eyes

Chen Ruoshi glared at Liu Zheng in anger, exclaiming: "Liu Zheng, do you truly intend to become that greedy scoundrel? Do you know, do you know... you!"

It means you give him silver coins so that he can enjoy himself in the end

However, to his surprise, his own son remained enthusiastic throughout the journey

Those who feel sympathy and compassion possess it

Mingming had a lot to say to him on the way, but upon seeing Liu Zheng's disgraceful demeanor—being humiliated and still shamelessly accepting money—she felt disheartened. She had given him all her savings, yet he ended up in such a state

Deng Tuzi

Yinzhou is barren; two hundred taels of silver is enough for ten households to eat for a year

"Feng San Niang, never stopping her hooves"

The Liu family father and son had long been mentally prepared for the "whipping" of being conferred as the Third Lady.

The two individuals, possessing a large sum of money, were simultaneously alarmed and hurriedly sought to evade the situation

Gradually leaving the city

Hahaha, why must Liu County Magistrate lament so much when he is about to take up a high official position?

Liu County Marquis, this journey ahead is long and arduous, so please pay close attention to safety

Liu Zheng laughed heartily, feeling an overwhelming excitement in his heart

Seeing Liu Zheng holding a stone, driving away several crows in the sky with a look of delight, Liu Dahao gulped down a large mouthful of water and asked

In the midst of conversation, with a flick of her wrist, a purse imbued with the warmth and fragrance of a woman was tossed over to her.
