Chapter 12: Hongshan
Since it is a small pavilion, the most important thing must be a small one.
But the mountains are full of banshees. What to do?
The smart Hongshan eldest sister smiled, aren't there so many humans in the village below the mountain. It's not as good as a demon, but you can make do with it first.
After making up their minds, a group of demons began to discuss methods.
It's not that they can't do such a thing as robbing people's men. But what the sisters want is high quality, and the quantity they need is also larger. The forcible detention of a large number of high-quality men for no reason can easily cause public outrage.
They can deal with some small forces, but if they anger the court and send troops to encircle and suppress them, they can't be defeated. So they don't dare to be too presumptuous.
Therefore, they released the news to the outside world - the banshees of Hongshan will hold a recruitment on July 25, and Hongshan will be open to the public for one day. All those who entered the mountain that day were recruited voluntarily, and those who were chosen would stay in Hongshan.
The banshees found this method very witty. The young men at the foot of the mountain would flock to catch the bluebirds, and they could choose whatever they wanted. In case of kicking the iron plate, there is still room for turnover.
Of course, the above is the real information that Hongxiao found out. Red Xiao is a demon, she has her way. And the other people in Hongshan Village didn't know about the small pavilion, and thought that the banshees really wanted to recruit relatives.
Mu Zhifu laughed unconsciously after hearing this information. It's really interesting to be a monster. She wanted to see the scene of the recruitment, anyway, she and Hongxiao were both women, and there was no risk of being left behind.
Hong Xiao is naturally very interested in this kind of thing, and has already begun to comment on the men under the mountain, so she has to bet with Mu Zhifu which ones will be favored by the banshees.
The two of them walked around the village, and they saw a few handsome ones here and there, but there were not many.
One is because the news is too sudden, and few people know about it. The second is because Hongshan is indeed remote, and all the people sent by the family are subordinates, and the upper-level people are not here.
Today is July 23, and there is still one day and two nights left before recruiting relatives.
It was getting late, and the two found a clean farmhouse, and under the coercion and temptation of Hongxiao, they rented a room.
Just as they were about to rest, there was a commotion outside, which sounded familiar.
Mu Zhifu opened the window through a gap and looked out.
I saw that the two groups of people in the courtyard were arguing, and the owner of the farmhouse stood aside awkwardly.
One of the people they knew was Lu Rongmu and the three girls.
The other group is also young people, three men and two women, each with extraordinary temperament, wearing pale cyan robes, with a uniform style, presumably which Jianghu sect.
The woman in yellow pinched her waist with both hands, and her tone was high: "We have covered this family, you can go find someone else's house." ”
The younger girl on the other side didn't pay attention to her at all, and said disdainfully: "You dare to shout here for anything, get out of here if you know each other." ”
The woman in yellow looked stunned, with a hint of cowardice, a typical bully of the soft and afraid of the hard, and her tone was slightly better. "We came first, and we asked the host to vacate the room for us, and you have to be reasonable. ”
The girl sneered: "Be reasonable? Do you know who I am? I am the thirteenth princess of Daliang, and the entire Daliang belongs to our Xiao family, not to mention a mere peasant family." I don't care if you came first or not, here we are settled in Hongmen tonight. ”
Mu Zhifu looked at it lightly in the room, she had a general understanding of the situation of the Daliang royal family, after all, she was going to marry before.
The thirteenth princess Xiao Jinwei was born by a palace maid, and the palace girl did not get any name when she gave birth to a child, and died shortly after the child was born. She had no one to take care of her in the palace, so she was sent to Hongmen. To say that it sounds good is to practice, and if it doesn't sound good, it is to be abandoned.
Hongmen is the largest cultivation place in Daliang. One of the five major schools.
As soon as Xiao Jinwei's identity was revealed, the woman in yellow instantly lost her momentum and secretly looked at Lu Rongmu on the side.
Hongmen and his party had their own thoughts and expressions, but in the end, no one stood up to stop them.
The thirteenth princess held her head very proudly, thinking that the general trend had been decided. But I didn't want the woman in Tsing Yi, who had not spoken in the other party's line, walked up.
The woman in Tsing Yi was thirteen or fourteen years old, with a beautiful appearance, with a heroic spirit in her eyebrows and eyes, holding a silver sword in her hand, and she did not shy away from looking at the thirteenth princess. "This girl claims to be the thirteenth princess of Daliang, I don't know if there is any evidence?"
Naturally, there is no certificate, because her biological mother is from a humble background and has never stayed in the palace, she has not even been on the family tree.
Xiao Jinwei was furious, and said stiffly: "Bold! dare to question the identity of this palace!"
"Oh?" the woman in Tsing Yi smiled. "Girl, you call yourself this palace, I don't know which palace you live in?"
...... Huh, this little cutie is bad, and it hurts people everywhere. The thirteen princesses don't talk about the palace, they don't even have a side hall.
"You ......" Xiao Jinwei was speechless angrily.
The eldest man in Hongmen's group hurriedly came out to relieve her: "Senior Sister Xiaowei is indeed the thirteenth princess of my Liang, and I ask the girl to be cautious." Tonight's lodging is small, and contempt for the royal is great. ”
"You say she's a princess, is she? We don't believe it without proof. These two rooms are the first to be negotiated by us, and we will not be able to give in. The woman in Tsing Yi said.
The man, knowing that he was wrong, stopped arguing with her, but turned to the farmer's owner. "How much do they pay?"
The farmer's master trembled: "One hundred taels of silver a day for each room." ”
Hiss - the shot is so generous, Mu Zhifu feels pain when she listens to it, and it only took her and Hongxiao twenty-one days. She is also distressed at this price, you must know that inns of this quality are generally less than one or two.
However, the man did not frown. "I'll give you a hundred and fifty taels. ”
Lu Rongmu said lightly: "Two hundred taels." ”
The man looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "Three hundred taels." ”
Lu Rongmu: "Five hundred taels." ”
The farmer's owner was stunned, his small dilapidated house was worth five hundred taels a day, and it was too much of a loss to rent out one room for twenty taels before.
Thinking of this, the farmer's owner said dogleggedly: "Actually, our family has three rooms, and the one that has been rented out has two girls. There are four people in each room, and if everyone can be accommodating, all three of you can live. The cost of this room is only 500 taels per room, and you can divide it evenly according to the head. ”
As he said this, the two groups of people in the courtyard looked at the house in unison. I saw Mu Zhifu peeking at them through the window.
...... Your uncle!" Princess Yao scolded in her heart.
When the four eyes met, Lu Rongmu recognized the person in the room at a glance.
The corners of his lips curled slightly, without the slightest hesitation. "I'm okay with that. ”
The woman in yellow was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Childe, if you divide the three rooms into eleven people, you will have to squeeze one room with the other three men, how can this be done?"
The two empty rooms, they and any group of people in Hongmen can rent them, and they can simply divide the rooms according to men and women.
But if you want three rooms to live in three groups of people, you have to mix up. Four men in one room, seven women in the remaining two.
