029 Money moves people’s hearts

Then Zhuge Tian and Zhuge Liang went to the eldest sister's house again. Unfortunately, the eldest sister had gone out and had not returned today.

The two of them could only leave their things behind and go back.

"I don't know how Yuan Jian and his team are doing with their popsicles."

"Don't worry, Yuan Jian is a man of great talent, and our popsicles are a rare commodity. Even if some noble families still have ice in their homes, they will definitely want to try them."

While they were talking, they had already returned to the place where they had agreed to meet.

I saw a cart tied under the shade of a tree.

Gan Ning slept on the cart, fanning himself with his straw hat.

Liao Hua was sleeping under the cart and had already started snoring.

"Hey, why did you give the good position below to Yuan Jian?" Zhuge Tian asked curiously.

Logically speaking, Gan Ning is not such a person, and Yuan Jian cannot defeat him.

"Lost."

"Lost? You haven't beaten him?" Zhuge Tian widened his eyes. Could it be that Yuan Jian suddenly exploded?

"Bullshit! If I hit him, I'll beat the shit out of him." Gan Ning said unconvincedly, "He wanted to play rock-paper-scissors, but he didn't win!"

Zhuge Tian almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

He has discovered these days that Gan Ning likes to compare himself with others in everything.

It's not a comparison, it's a competition.

Things like who can jump higher or farther.

As long as you ask for a competition, he will agree.

It was probably Liao Hua who suggested the rock-paper-scissors game, so he lost to Liao Hua.

"How's it going? Are they all sold out?"

Liao Hua heard the two people talking, rubbed his eyes and crawled out from under the car.

Hearing Zhuge Tian's question, he said proudly, "Of course! You don't know, one family bought over 40 of them at once, and even said that if we come tomorrow, we'll give them 50."

Gan Ning also nodded and said, "Did they just leave three or four families?"

"Four stores, all four were sold out, and people still think it's not enough."

Liao Hua pointed to the large bag that had been used as a pillow: "One stick is 500 coins, one hundred sticks are 50 strings of cash, all here."

Zhuge Tian's mouth twitched. The common people of the Eastern Han Dynasty were poor, but these wealthy families were not poor at all.

What was the poem that my master taught me?

The rich have wine and meat, while the poor freeze to death on the streets!

Of course, he also knew that many people today were seeing it for the first time, so he wanted to try something new.

Whether we can sell so much every day in the future remains a question.

"It's still early, let's buy some meat and bring it back for the brothers to have a snack."

Zhuge Tian said with a smile.

"Hahaha, I knew you, Hanxing, were the most generous!"

I went to the market and bought a pig and two sheep.

A sheep cost only 1000 coins, and a pig only 800 coins.

Liao Hua also sighed that selling popsicles today was really profitable.

Zhuge Tian smiled but said nothing. In the end times, some leaders of powerful forces could exchange a dessert for two or three hundred kilograms of food.

"This pork is not very tasty." Gan Ning said with a frown.

When he was a Jinfan thief, he was used to spending money lavishly.

They basically don't eat this pork.

"Don't worry, Hanxing can make delicious food!"

Liao Hua tied the feet of the pigs and sheep and threw them behind the cart.

Several people drove the car back.

"It seems someone is following us." Liao Hua said shortly after leaving the city: "There are a few people behind us. If we go fast, they go fast too. If we go slow, they go slow too. Just now, I stopped the car to pee and took a look, and they stopped too."

"Just keep your eye on me," Gan Ning said nonchalantly, chewing on a popsicle stick. "Or are you scared?"

"Bullshit, why would I be afraid of them? With people like them, I can beat 10 of them with just one of them."

"Then I can hit 11!"

"I can beat 12!"

Hearing the two people arguing again, Zhuge Tian could only look at the sky helplessly.

When they were about ten miles away from Xiangyang City, a few people from behind caught up, and more than ten people from the front also came.

"Leave the money in the car and you can go."

The man with a scar in the lead arrogantly waved the long sword in his hand and pointed at Zhuge Tian and his companions' cart.

"Leave the pigs and sheep behind too, just enough to give Grandpa a snack."

"How do you know there is money in our car?" Zhuge Tian asked curiously.

"These guys are probably related to the servants of the family we just met. I'm afraid they saw that the master gave us a lot of money, and since there are only a few of us, they came here to rob us."

After Liao Hua finished speaking, he and Gan Ning also drew their long swords from under the chariot.

These two men are one the leader of mountain bandits and the other the leader of water bandits. This is just a small scene for them.

The other side had no more than twenty or thirty people.

"Compare, who has knocked down more people?" Liao Hua glanced at Gan Ning.

"Okay, you deal with the ones at the back and I'll deal with the ones in the front." Gan Ning said and rushed forward.

"Damn it, there are more people in front of you than behind me."

Although he said this, Liao Hua's hands were not idle.

During the Three Kingdoms period, it was called a long sword, but in fact, with the blacksmithing technology at that time, a blade of forty or fifty centimeters was considered good.

Especially in the south of the Yangtze River, the blade should be shorter because of the water battle.

Gan Ning and Liao Hua both held newly forged long swords, made from steel purchased at the end of the world and fashioned into the style of a Tang Dynasty horizontal sword.

The blade of each sword is about 90 centimeters long, almost twice the length of the other one.

It's like a tiger among a flock of sheep, no one can be a match for the two of them.

The leader of the robbery gang didn't expect to meet two such fierce men, and immediately set his sights on Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Tian.

It seems like these two half-grown kids are probably important figures in their line of work.

If we can capture these two people, maybe we can make them hand over the money obediently.

While someone was pestering Liao Hua, he suddenly rushed towards Zhuge Tian and the others.

Then he saw Zhuge Tian raise his hand and make two "swoosh" sounds towards him.

Two steel crossbow arrows shot directly into his thighs. The intense pain made his muscles tighten, and then he fell to the ground due to the inertia of the forward rush.

He slid forward almost a full meter, and looking at the two blood marks on the ground, Zhuge Tian felt sorry for him.

The robbers were already being chased by Liao Hua and Gan Ning, but when they saw their leader had been defeated, they just shouted and fled in all directions.

"You bastards, you run so fast!" Gan Ning pointed to his side and said, "I knocked down five of them."

"I... also have five." Liao Hua said unyieldingly.

"Does this count?" Gan Ning pointed at the leader who had fallen to the ground.

"Why not? Isn't this from my side? If Han Xing hadn't hit him just now, I could have come from behind and dealt with him."

"Oh, anyway, I won." Gan Ning looked at him with disdain, then asked Zhuge Tian and the others, "Han Xing or Kong Ming, who do you think won?"

"Alright, isn't that childish?" Zhuge Tian said, "Take the leader with you and let's go. Do you want a snack tonight?"
