316 Bargaining
Yun Ting took Ai Zi all the way away, and finally got rid of the group of slaves who chased him for most of the road with sticks.
Ai Zi stretched his neck and tried to look behind him to make sure that the gang was really not chasing, so he breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and dismounted, unloaded the burden on his back, and sat on the ground with his butt, gasping for breath in disregard of his image.
Yun Ting tied the horse to the trunk of the tree next to him, walked in front of Ai Zi, looked at her bride's wedding dress, and raised his eyebrows: "You won't be cheating on marriage and money, right?"
Ai Zi rolled his eyes, took off the phoenix crown on his head, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said, "What's the matter with you?"
Yun Ting was not surprised that she would have such an attitude, he simply went straight to the point: "I helped you escape, now, you can hand over the South Sea Pearl, right?"
At the mention of the words "South Sea Pearl", Ai Zi's originally stiff face suddenly became much softer, she smiled at him, blinked her eyes vigorously, pretending to be cute, and never mentioned the matter of South Sea Pearl.
Since what happened last night, Yun Ting knew Ai Zi's character, he also smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed Ai Zi's shoulder, and then she used the next three indiscriminate tricks: "Come less, hand it over quickly." ”
Ai Zi knew that it was useless to use the beauty trick, so he tilted his head: "What you want is not on me now." ”
Yun Ting obviously didn't believe her words: "If you don't hand it over, I can rescue you, or I can take you as a gift and send it back." ”
Ai Zi smiled helplessly, simply lay on the ground on all fours, and said scoundrelly: "If you don't believe it, I can search my body." ”
Yun Ting's eyes were half-narrowed, and he didn't know what to do with this little thief?
Ai Zi grinned, got up and picked up the burden next to him, and opened it in four by five, and it was either an agate pearl necklace, or gold and silverware, jade Ruyi jade and the like.
She stretched out her hand and pulled it, thought for a long time, took out a jade turtle in the baggage, and reluctantly handed it to Yun Ting and said: "Well, I gave you this, in fact, you are quite like it, and you have a spirit of perseverance." ”
Yun Ting's face froze, and his whole face collapsed, comparing himself to a turtle!
He stretched out his hand and waved, and the jade turtle fell to the ground pitifully, Yun Ting almost suppressed his anger, and continued to circle with Ai Zi: "You'd better hand it over quickly, otherwise you'll ......"
Ai Zi saw that Yun Ting seemed to be serious, she didn't joke anymore, she was decent, and said seriously: "This South China Sea pearl is really not on the body, it was taken to Sun Moon City by my eldest brother and second brother, if you want, I can be your hostage for free and go to Sun Moon City to exchange for pearls." ”
Yun Ting looked at Ai Zi, who looked serious: "Really?"
"It's true, if it's fake, I'd rather have five thunders in the sky, so that I can't die well. ”
Yun Ting knew that it was only half a day's journey from the royal capital to Sun Moon City, but this girl was too a chicken thief and had to guard against it.
"Alright, let's go now. ”
Yun Ting got up and walked to the horse, Ai Zi giggled and packed up his baggage, and followed behind Yun Ting: "That, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Ai Zi, that, what should I call you?"
Yun Ting glanced at Ai Zi, who was worried, and threw down a sentence coldly: "Whatever." ”
"What?!It's called whatever, that's not good, you're the patron saint of the southern country, it's not polite to call your name, and you're older than me, oh, I know, I'll call you Brother Yunting, okay?"
Ai Zi saw that Yun Ting had no objection, and jumped vigorously: "Brother Yun Ting, Brother Yun Ting, Brother Yun Ting." ”
Yun Ting was stimulated by these four words, and in order to exchange for a moment of silence, he reached out and picked up Ai Zi, who had fallen into infinite repetition, and put him on the horse's back.
Ai Zi hugged the horse's neck tightly, and saw Yun Ting turn over and sit behind him, a little unhappy: "Hey, how can a lonely man and a widow be able to ride a horse? ”
When Yun Ting heard the word "innocent", he felt ashamed of her, and the person who stripped naked in front of him when he met for the first time, wasn't she?!
Yun Ting's eyes rolled, and he nodded: "Yes, you are right, but the person who should go down, I'm afraid it's not me, this horse is mine, and it's Ai Zi girl who wants to go down and walk, right?"
Ai Zi's smile froze on his face in an instant, he originally wanted to drive Yun Ting off the horse so that he could escape on horseback, but Yun Ting's words made Ai Zi realize a sentence and lift a stone to hit himself in the foot.
"Hehe, Brother Yunting, I'm joking, why don't you have any sense of humor?"
They looked at each other and smiled, each with their own wishful thinking.
Along the way, Ai Zi tried his best to delay the time to go to Sun Moon City, which could have been reached in half a day, but was dragged by Ai Zi until it was dark and only half the way.
Ai Zi saw the sun set and the moon climbed to the middle of the sky, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Night is the best time to escape.
She looked left and right, and found that there was an inn not far away, so she was overjoyed: Brother Yunting, you see there is an inn there, let's go in and rest after a day's journey. ”
Yun Ting did not object, bolted his horse in front of the inn, and walked in with Ai Zi.
When I first entered, I felt that this inn was very deserted, as if it had been deserted, and there was a thick layer of dust on the wooden table, which I don't know how many years had not been wiped.
"Anyone?" Ai Zi shouted hungrily, stretching his neck.
After a long time, a weak voice suddenly came from the empty inn, the curtain on the side of the counter was opened, and a fat woman, coarse cloth clothes, looked very happy: "Ouch, there are guests, Xiao Er, come and clean up!"
The fat woman looked like the shopkeeper, she beckoned Xiao Er to roughly wipe the tables and chairs, and then said happily: "Are the two guest officers eating or staying in the hotel?"
Ai Zi put the burden behind him on the table, touched his stomach and said, "Both eat and live in the hotel, hurry up and bring up all the delicious food in your store, my stomach is hungry." ”
The fat shopkeeper saw the burden that Ai Zi put on the table, and said yes again and again with a little deep meaning, and then withdrew.
Ai Zi reached out and poured a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and began to untie the burden, counted the treasures in the baggage, and said to himself: "There is not even a pawnshop around here, and it is so heavy to carry it." ”
Yun Ting looked around, and finally fell on Ai Zi's body: "Oops, I seem to have forgotten to bring money, just take your heavy thing as collateral, it should be good." ”
