Chapter 4 First time in Luoyang

"Brother, that Zhao Yun is really so powerful? He regards a 100,000 army as if nothing? That one is obviously an empty box, how come it becomes so much gold in a short while?" Zhang Fei asked these questions many times, but he still asked them all the time.

Xie Chengbin was overjoyed and a little disappointed. At this time, he felt a little annoyed when he listened to Zhang Fei repeatedly asking the same questions. "I have said it many times, and I will say it the last time. Zhao Yun is not that powerful, but full of courage. Those gold is the secret of heaven, and the so-called secret of heaven cannot be revealed."

Everyone returned to Changshan Zhending for lunch and continued their journey.

We arrived in Shiyi at about 2pm and took a break for a while to continue our journey. We arrived in Leping in the evening. After dinner, we rested early. Alas... the mecha could fly from Zhuo County to Luoyang in a few minutes. It took only two days for the horse to run halfway through the journey. I suffered!

It was just dawn, the city gate had just opened, everyone was already full, and they started today's journey. Although it was not snowing today, it was still very cold at this time. Whoever tried it knew.

I set off from Leping in the morning, ate some dry food in the suburbs at noon, and arrived at my eldest son (Shangdang County Governor). It was almost dark, so Xie Chengbin planned to leave tomorrow, so he rested in the inn.

Before I knew it, the day was over again, and the simple life of ancient times was so boring.

It was another cold morning, and it was snowing outside, and everyone set out in Shangdang. Xie Chengbin began to miss the hover car, but now, there was not even a concrete road. There was only a thin layer of snow on the road, which was bumpy from time to time and very bumpy.

Arriving in Pingyang, Hedong County at noon, Xie Chengbin planned to change to waterways, bought a lot of dry food, and used ten gold bars to hire a large boat to Luoyang. Although it was still snowing, the river water did not freeze. Looking at the busy people on the pier getting farther and farther away, Xie Chengbin felt indescribable. The war was about to begin, and I don’t know how they would pass in the future.

"Everyone, I wonder who is interested in wrestling his arm?" The cabin was much warmer than a carriage. Xie Chengbin, who was bored, looked at dozens of people sitting and laughing, and suddenly remembered an idea.

Everyone looked at each other and was confused. "???"

Xie Chengbin stacked the four tables together to form a table, signaling Zhang Fei to come over. Although Zhang Fei didn't know what it was, he also followed.

"Yide, learn from me." Xie Chengbin squatted halfway, stretched out his right hand, and let his elbow press his desk.

Zhang Fei imitated Xie Chengbin's actions.

Others found it novel and surrounded them.

"Tight." Xie Chengbin held Zhang Fei's hand and suddenly tried hard.

Zhang Fei was the first time he wrestled his wrist, but he didn't understand at all, and was suddenly overturned by Xie Chengbin.

Although Xie Chengbin's reaction speed was amazing, his strength was only about the same as Zhang Fei. "You lost."

I don’t know if the word “loss” stimulated Zhang Fei, or if he lost in front of so many people, or if Zhang Fei felt that he lost inexplicably, Zhang Fei was very unwilling to accept it at this time. “Come again!”

The second game begins! Zhang Fei understands this time and uses his strength all at once, but his strength is not used properly, and his elbows are far away from the case.

Seeing this, Xie Chengbin immediately reminded him, "Stop it! Your elbow must not leave the case. Forget it this time, and you will lose next time."

The third game begins! Zhang Fei still used all his strength from the beginning, and he would never give up until he defeated Xie Chengbin's arm. Xie Chengbin tried his best to keep his arm from being knocked down. Even so, he almost tried his best.

The two of them became a little shaking because of excessive force, but no one could do anything to each other and they just froze. Someone shouted "Try hard!", and the others shouted one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

After a while, I don’t know if it was Zhang Fei’s arm cramp or what happened. His strength was not as big as before. Xie Chengbin took the opportunity to work harder and began to lean towards Xie Chengbin.

Others shouted louder and louder.

Seeing that the opponent's strength increased, Zhang Fei quickly used his strength to stop Xie Chengbin's offensive, but was suppressed by Xie Chengbin forty-five degrees.

Not long after the two had a uniform strength, Zhang Fei finally couldn't stop it. He was suppressed by Xie Chengbin and ended the third game.

"Why did I use all my strength but couldn't move at all? Brother, I couldn't beat me?" Zhang Fei was a little puzzled.

Xie Chengbin talked about the skills in this. "When Yide goes all out, I will save my strength and not let you win. When I try harder, you are no longer able to turn the world back. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle."

"Brother, I'm very knowledgeable, but I can't fly." Zhang Fei suddenly realized when he heard this and clasped his fists to Xie Chengbin.

The dozens of other people also clasped their fists at Xie Chengbin.

Xie Chengbin was speechless. He just spoke out his wrist wrestling skills, so it wasn't so exaggerated, right?

Maybe it was because of the wind direction. The big ship traveled day and night from Pingyang to Luoyang for about two days. It was almost noon when everyone entered Luoyang City.

There are many people on the street, and there are all kinds of people here. Some are dressed gorgeously, some are ragged, and some are given alms.

dozens of Xie Chengbin moved forward slowly, but due to short hair, the return rate exceeded 95%! Wherever Xie Chengbin went, it was shocking.

Everyone came to an inn (tavern) called Hero Building. Dozens of people had dinner and had a designated room, and a gold bar was enough.

After lunch, Xie Chengbin took ten people to buy officials, and Zhang Fei and the rest were left behind. Xie Chengbin first went to the carpenter to make five cubic meters boxes, and asked the ten followers to carry five empty boxes and go straight to the official exchange.

When Xie Chengbin came to the official exchange, he found that there were many people buying officials here. There were red lists in the lobby, and all the official positions on the list were clearly marked. Even the price of the same official position would change due to the different management population.

It is worth mentioning that those words are traditional, not even Arabic numerals. Except for the price, Xie Chengbin basically cannot understand it.

"Do you know how to read? Look at what the prefects and the sects of Qingzhou counties said." Xie Chengbin had to admit that his cultural level was not very good.

"Report to the lord, the prefect of Pingyuan County is two million yuan, and you can take office immediately; the prefect of Jinan State is two million yuan, and you can take office immediately; the prefect of Le'an State is two million yuan, and you can take office in one year; the prefect of Qi State is one million yuan, and you can take office in one year; the prefect of Beihai State is three million yuan, and you can take office in three years; the prefect of Donglai County is two million yuan, and you can take office in two years; the assassin of Qingzhou is one million yuan, and you can take office in one year." Liu Tao answered with his fist.

After Liu Tao said this, people around him turned their heads and looked at Xie Chengbin. Seeing that Xie Chengbin had short hair, they couldn't help but talk.

Xie Chengbin saw it, ignored them and led ten people to the staff.

"I want to buy an official position." Xie Chengbin knelt down on a case.

The official Shi, who was sitting opposite Xie Chengbin, couldn't help frowning when he saw that Xie Chengbin had not grown long hair. "I'm the one who is honored? Gui Geng? Who is the person? What position do you want to buy?"

"I was named Xie, with his name Cheng, and his courtesy name Zibin. He was twenty-four years old. When he was young, he followed his father to the Western Regions to do business. He only knew Jinan Kingdom, but not what county he knew. He bought the prefect of Jinan Kingdom." Xie Chengbin had already thought about the words of buying an official.

As for why you choose Qingzhou, it is because Xie Chengbin knows that the breed of Youzhou and Liangzhou horses is excellent, but they have to resist foreign invasions. Therefore, it is best to choose near both. Yizhou is more desolate, so choosing Qingzhou is the right way!

"Pay money." The civil servant who held the writing completed it in just a few strokes.

Xie Chengbin waved his hand, and ten people walked over with five empty boxes and placed it behind Xie Chengbin.

Whenever Xie Chengbin opened the box, he would always "boom". Five boxes of golden bars appeared in front of everyone, and golden light suddenly shone! Except for the people brought by Xie Chengbin, the others were stunned. "I wonder if the money is enough?"

"It's enough, it's enough..." The civil servant swallowed his saliva and handed Xie Chengbin two things. "This is the bracelet and official seal of Jinan. Please keep it properly. The emperor will issue an order tomorrow, and you can return to Jinan immediately."

"Goodbye!" Xie Chengbin punched the civil servant, turned around and left. Ten followers followed Xie Chengbin, leaving behind a group of people who were still stunned.

After leaving the official exchange, it was already dark when I returned to the Hero Building.

As soon as he walked into the Hero Building, he heard Zhang Fei quarrel with others. Xie Chengbin hurriedly squeezed into the private room where the sound came from. He saw dozens of Zhang Fei and a group of scholars standing in the spacious private room. The two groups were about to fight.

"Yide, don't be rude! My brother has a hot temper. I'll give you some compensation. I hope you forgive me." Xie Chengbin quickly stepped forward to stop the quarrel and apologized to the other party.

Seeing Xie Chengbin apologizing to the other party, Zhang Fei was upset. "Brother, don't apologize! I originally ordered the largest private room to give in to my brother, but unexpectedly, these rude people wanted the private room to give in. This is too much to deceive people!"

"Hmph! Just a group of untouchables, what should I do in the private room?" A man about thirty years old opposite him looked disdainful.

Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this. If Xie Chengbin hadn't pulled him, he would have started fighting now. "It's outrageous! He dared to insult my brother, come here! He beat this person out!"

"Let me say a few words." Another person in his thirty years old beside him, who was about thirty years old, accusing his companions a few words and clasping his fists at Xie Chengbin. "Haha, Benchu ​​has always been unrestrained, don't bother to worry about it. Cao Cao, today is the first day of the second month, and Mr. Xu Shao happened to be here to visit. We are here to welcome him. How about staying and drinking together?"

"I won't disturb you, say goodbye!" Xie Chengbin punched Cao Cao, turned around and left.

Although dozens of Zhang Fei were unwilling to give up, he had to give up and leave with Xie Chengbin.

"Still stay, hero!" Just as Xie Chengbin walked to the door, a voice sounded. Xie Chengbin stopped hearing the sound, turned around and clasped his fists at the other men. "I wonder if there is any advice?"
Chapter completed!
