Chapter 27: Stagecoach

So Duanxu took out the appearance of a sleek and honest man again, stuck to the side of the post man, and almost said all the good things, just asking to buy three horses. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The postman finally got impatient and said, "You go to us and tell me that I don't call the shots here." ”

Duanxu asked: "My eyes are not good, may I ask who is the post officer?"

The post officer had been sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, and he had been looking at it coldly for a while, and then he shouted loudly: "Go, you half-old blind man, what kind of horse do you ride? Also, you homeless people, get together in a random manner, where do you get the money to buy official horses? It can't be stolen and robbed by taking advantage of the chaos!"

Duanxu smiled, took out Princess Weihua's jade pendant in his arms, and walked to the post officer.

The post officer glared at him with slanted eyes and said, "Do you still want to be verbose, do you want to find death?

Duanxu smiled with a flattering look on his face, and said, "Official, you calm your anger first, you look at this jade pendant first, I don't know if you can recognize it?"

The post officer pouted and said, "Don't bribe the official, and besides, you are a blind man, where did you get any jade pendant?"

Duanxu pretended to argue: "I have an eye disease, and I look blind, but in fact, I can still slightly distinguish a person during the day." Official, it's not a secret, the three of us escaped from the camp of the Fierce Army, entrusted by Princess Weihua, to go to Kuanxi City to send a message to our 'King Xu', this is the princess's jade pendant, you see, the royal family's things, there will never be fake, do you want to check it? So the three grass people dare to dare to come to the post station for help, if the military situation is delayed, I am afraid that no one can afford it. ”

When the post officer heard this, he narrowed his eyes, glanced at the jade pendant in Duanxu's hand in disbelief, and then reached out to take the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and called several post guards to identify it together.

As soon as several people put it together, they all felt that this jade pendant was real, and this thing would never be fake.

So the post officer took the jade pendant, carefully discerned it against the sun, squinted at the three of them, and said: "Yes, then the official will personally accompany you to go back, it stands to reason that a no-character public like me is not qualified to meet the king, but there is a reason for it, it is related to Princess Weihua of my Yue Kingdom, and if the three of you get the reward, you must score half of me, do you hear?!"

Duanxu smiled, nodded and said: "This is nature, this is nature, we grass people, it's just a matter of loyalty, how dare we take the reward privately." ”

The post officer nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Also, you have paid the horse money first, and the three official horses, according to fifty taels each, a total of one hundred and fifty taels, and the silver!"

Ji Li stood next to him, and when he heard that there was a play, he was about to take out the silver, but Duanxu smiled and said: "Look, sir, how can we carry so many silver taels with us......?"

The officer's face sank, and he asked fiercely, "No money, no money, what kind of horse did you buy just now?"

Duanxu still nodded and smiled, and said, "The grass people didn't expect that the price of horses has risen so high in the past few days, which is really offensive to the official...... Son, how much silver do we have left?"

Feng Yiluan said in his heart, this uncle took advantage of the separation, and called him his son.

Duanxu said, then turned around and walked in front of Ji Li, put his hand into Ji Li's arms, pretended to touch it in Ji Li's arms for a long time, and crushed the two hundred taels of silver that Ji Li had just taken out of the space ring, stuffed more than half of it back into his arms, and motioned him with his eyes to put it away first, and then pinched out about seventy or eighty taels, and then held it with both hands and handed it to the post officer.

When the officer saw the silver, he immediately took it in his hand, weighed it, turned around and went into the house, and went to weigh the silver on a scale.

After a while, the post officer came out again, took out a third of it, threw it to the post man on the side, and said, "Take it to a few brothers and share it with a drink!"

Then the post official said to Duanxu: "This is only 70 taels of silver, you still owe me 80 taels, see that you are honest people, just owe it first, and when you arrive at the royal city, you meet the king, and receive the reward, you will score half of me, and you have to pay me back the remaining 80 taels of money, do you hear clearly?"

Duanxu immediately said: "I know, I know, this is a good idea, official, then let's go?"

The post officer asked again without hurrying: "Do you have any money for food on the road?"

Duanxu pretended to be pitiful: "This ...... You can also eat a few steamed buns. It doesn't matter if we are hungry for two days, as long as we don't miss the news from you. ”

The post officer pretended to be generous and said: "Hmph, then I'll take care of the food for you on the way, and when the time comes, you will pay me back a hundred taels, I can't eat meat alone, let you watch the steamed buns, right? Also, who are you that girl?"

As he spoke, the post officer had already moved his gaze to Feng Yiluan, looking up and down.

Duanxu hurriedly said: "This is my daughter-in-law, she has been pregnant for nearly two months, you see, official, hehe......"

When he said this, he skillfully protected Feng Yiluan.

The post officer snorted dissatisfiedly, and scolded again: "Old thing, can you still ride a horse when you are two months pregnant?"

Duanxu said: "Yes, yes, it's okay, our girl is not the body of the eldest lady, she has not been delicate since she was a child, and she fell and beaten, so it doesn't matter." ”

As he spoke, the post officer called out four horses from behind, and it turned out that there were not only six horses in front of the post house.

Feng Yiluan said in his heart, Uncle Duan really knows enough things, is really slippery enough, and his brain reacts fast enough, I think he has indeed been in the rivers and lakes for a long time.

The four of them got on the horse, Feng Yiluan pretended to be a good person, pretending to climb on the horse's back with a lot of effort, and pretending to be scared for a long time before she sat down, at this time she knew that she had to pretend to be a weak woman so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.

At the same time, she secretly laughed at herself, she was really black who was close to ink, and after a few days with Duanxu, she learned to pretend without a teacher......

The post officer rode in the front to lead the way, and the four men and four horses galloped away in the direction of the royal city.

Feng Yiluan only felt that this stagecoach was not as stable as her night without a trace, and the night without a trace was indeed fast and steady, and it took almost no effort to ride.

Thinking of this, she began to wonder if the night was gone, was that dark horse really spiritual?

Along the way, they changed horses every time they arrived at a post station, and when those post officers saw that it was a post officer of the same level who personally led people to deliver letters, they did not make it difficult, and immediately changed horses and let them go.

On the way, Jili and Duanxu also saw the people of the Pillow Pavilion from a distance, but because the Pillow Pavilion was directly commanded by the Holy Emperor, they had no intersection with ordinary officials and lower-level officials in various places, and they had always acted mysteriously, so the people of the Pillow Pavilion saw that it was an official stagecoach from a distance, and they would not think of blocking the investigation.

So the four of them traveled unhindered, and it was supposed to take five days to walk, but it took less than two days to arrive. Entering Kuanxi City, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The post officer led the way, led the three of them straight to the outside of the palace, and dismounted at the far gate of the palace.
