Most of the people who stay by the tea stalls just stay for a while, drink tea and leave. It's rare to stay at a tea stall for a long time, after all, this is not a place to eat, and even if you stay for a short rest, it will only take half an hour.

Most people who have something to say will choose a small restaurant nearby where they can eat.

Even when I was sitting and drinking tea, there were two or three people coming and going around me.

The strange thing is that the eldest young master of the Xiong family, who shared a table with me, and his servants also looked like they were very stunned with roots under their feet.

I squinted at Ji Jiu under the big tree, and he glanced over to me, with a subtle expression on his face.

Looking at his situation, it means that he doesn't want to come over for the time being.

Sure enough, in the next second, I saw Ji Jiu making a gesture towards me from a distance, and walked in the direction of the North City Gate.

We haven't discussed, but along the way, we have learned a lot about each other, and it is completely subconscious.

I guess he plans to ask the driver again, probably still wants to bargain.

There are a lot of carriages next to the city gate, and Ji Jiu will definitely ask a few more people.

I turned my head back and continued to look at the master and servant silently.

The eldest young master of the Xiong family sat there, his eyes were actually a little lost.

"Ah Gui", he said in a low voice, "You said that I will go to the national capital, can I still come back to see Xiaolan?" ”

My ears pricked up, keenly aware of the gossip to hear.

Don't blame me for being curious, I really didn't think of a good way to get into the carriage for the time being, and although Ji Jiu had already run to the middle of the handlebar at the gate of the North City, I didn't have much hope for him.

At this time, let's gossip and listen.

It can also be regarded as relieving the tension.

"Young Master, I haven't gone out yet."

The servant named Agui's tone sounded not much better than that of his young master, and the hand holding the tea bowl knocked on the edge of the bowl.

"No, no, I have to go back and talk to her."

The eldest young master of the Xiong family suddenly stood up and said, "I was in a hurry when I left, I didn't even say a word of goodbye, if she thought of me, she would complain." ”

Agui hurriedly grabbed him, stomped his feet and said, "

You're going back.

A small bet that the master will definitely lock you up, not to mention going to the national capital, even if you get out of the courtyard.

“”

Hey, the girl guarding the city stopped me twice, will you send someone over to ask directly?

“”

No.

No, don't worry, she's sure you won't be able to get out."

Ah Gui comforted the eldest young master and said, "It's too late to check on passers-by at this time, she doesn't have that idle time."

“”

My heart still hangs in the air.

“…… I listened to their conversations, and I roughly figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.

The eldest young master of the Xiong family seemed to be worried about the conscription order that came out today, according to what he meant.

The quota on his stall is him.

Of course, he definitely didn't want to be cannon fodder in the front-line camp, so he found an opportunity to take advantage of the official start of the conscription tomorrow.

Going to sneak out.

I listen, this "

"Ye" still has relatives over there in the national capital, and he mentioned in his narration that the aunt who doted on him the most, had no children under her knees, and ran a restaurant in the national capital.

His current plan is to get out of the city first, find a carriage and go directly to the national capital.

It's not like the tea stall owner said.

Hasn't a conscription order been issued for the time being?

Many people will plan to exploit the loophole of the national capital.

Although Master Xiong's plan has been drawn up, his ability to act is very poor.

The only loyal servant beside him didn't look very good.

Such a pair of living treasures wanted to get out of the city, but they were easily stopped by the captain of the city guard who knew him.

Stop and don't say anything.

also ridiculed him a few words in front of everyone, which made him so angry that he vented it to the stranger he met by chance at the tea stall.

Like me!

I was thinking about whether to seize this opportunity to come to my door, and I was a little hesitant.

Suddenly, I heard the person at the same table pound the table and said, "

Agui, it's okay to go!

I'm going to write a letter to Xiaolan anyway.

Ah Gui looked left and right, no one noticed them, even the group of people who drank water just now were almost gone, he approached the eldest young master of the Xiong family, and said in a low voice: "

You are not illiterate, and now there is no gentleman here, how are you going to write this letter?

I almost couldn't hold back, so I had to pick up the tea bowl to cover half of my face!

”

Nonsense, isn't that you?

“”

However, the small, the small ones don't know much, so they can't be of great use.

The eldest young master of the Xiong family lowered his head slightly in frustration, his lips snorted silently a few times, and his eyes lit up: "

Agui, I'll go on the road by myself, don't go, go back and bring a message to Xiaolan.

After hearing this, Ah Gui's face turned white in an instant, and his legs were weak and he almost knelt down for the eldest young master, but he couldn't help it because of the large number of people and in front of the tea stall.

”

Young Master,"

He cried and said with a sad face, "Give the little one a way to live, go back at this time, and the old man can't whip the little one when he sees it."

“”

It's okay if you don't kill it.

“”

In case the old man remembers to let the little one go to join the army, the little one will not have the opportunity to serve you in this life, and the little one will grow up with you.

“…… After some persuasion, I finally stopped crying, and I saw Ji Jiu walking towards us from the carriage parking next to the north city gate.

I met his gaze from afar, and he shook his head silently, and I immediately understood the situation at hand.

His eyes turned back to the two living treasures, still discussing the way to get out of the city.

I got up, didn't pay attention to me while they looked down to discuss, and quickly paid for the tea and walked over to Ji Jiu.

Intercepting Ji Jiu halfway, I pulled him under the big tree where he stayed just now...... After listening to me, Ji Jiu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "

If you have an idea, just do it, and I'll cooperate.

“”

It's not easy to bump into such a person, you don't see the tight inspection at the city gate.

“”

If he left the city, he had the money to hire a car, and even if he couldn't, with his net worth, he could use silver to open the way by stopping one halfway.

“”

We can do him a favor and get out of town.

He took us another ride, and we all took what we needed.

After I finished speaking, I smiled at Ji Jiu and said, "

Taking a step back, even if they were stopped, the captain of the guard guarding the city was not a wicked person to hear them say.

At most, if you are scolded by her, you and I can still get out.

“”

For us, it's not a risk.

“”

Okay, just do as you say, it's just ......" Ji Jiu looked in the direction of the tea stall, and the two were still discussing.

The eldest young master of the Xiong family kept frowning, and Ji Jiu asked, "

It's just this lobbyist, are you going or am I going?

“”

Of course it's me.

I grinned.

Just as I was about to go in that direction, two people from the tea stall settled the bill and came to us.

I watched them discuss for a long time.

The decision made should be the same as what Ji Jiu did just now, go to the city gate to find another opportunity.

It's even better, it saves me a few steps of effort!

I just stood there, arms crossed, waiting with interest for my target prey to approach.

They talked from time to time, and when they came to the bottom of the tree, I suddenly said, "Hey—"

Both of them were startled, and when they saw clearly that it was me who was greeting, they were startled!

"Dumb. Aren't you the dumb guy you just had? ”

"I'm just too lazy to speak."

"Dare to tease uncle!"

"Stop, stop, do you still want to get out of the city, young master?"

I stopped him.

He was stunned.

Standing in place, he looked at me with a suspicious gaze and said, "You have been eavesdropping on me talking to Agui just now?" ”

Come on!

They are all at the same table, and they are so loud that as long as they are not dumb, of course they can hear it.

I looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, I just heard it by chance, don't you think I'm dumb." There is no defense, offended! ”

"Hey. This person speaks a bit like my husband, and he is crepe. It's kind of interesting, Gui, do you hear that? ”

"I hear you."

"What's your name?"

"I believe in Lin, that is my eldest brother."

I pointed to Ji Jiu, who was standing in the shade of the tree, and said, "We're going to go to the national capital, aren't we going out of the city yet, sitting at the tea stall, just happened to meet you." ”

"I'll cut a long story short,"

I lowered my voice and said, "I can help you get out of the city, do you want to try with me?" ”

"Young Master, I don't know if what this person said is credible, so don't listen to him."

"Wait,"

The eldest young master of the Xiong family stood in front of me and thought for a moment and said, "You come and listen." ”

"Big young master!"

"Shut up, I don't want to be stopped by that little girl guarding the city later, it's been twice, don't forget, you can't afford to lose this person!!"

"You believe me, it's right to keep it, and besides, I don't ask you to collect money, if you want to cheat, what can I cheat?"

I smiled slightly, and looked at them sincerely, especially the eldest young master.

"How can there be such a good thing as a cake falling from the sky, you are not stupid, you tell the truth, what benefits do you want?"

"It's a pleasure to talk to a smart person, young master,"

I complimented him, looked at him whose face turned soothed, and said, "There is only one condition, after leaving the city, you hire a car to go to the national capital and take us for a ride." ”

"Speaking of which, my eldest brother and I were unlucky, we encountered thieves on the way, and we stole the silver we brought when we stayed in the hotel, and we only had a little emergency money close to me."

"I look at the way you look, you don't really sound like a local."

"I won't hide it from you, young master, we are from the Lake Country."

The eldest young master of the Xiong family and the servant beside him, Ah Gui, suddenly widened their eyes when they heard this: "You said you are from the Lake Country?" ”

He looked at me again from head to toe, and when he looked up again, there was already a little envy in his eyes.

"Look at your young age, you have walked so many places, unlike the master, you have grown so big, and you have only been to the national capital at the farthest, and the last time you went was three years ago, alas, ......"

"You say, is there any good way to get through the check at the gate of the north city?"

The eldest young master of the Xiong family asked.

"Young master, don't worry, wait first."

"I'll go buy a pen and paper, and write a letter for you first, don't you remember that girl, you didn't say goodbye before leaving, how can you do it without writing a letter?"

"Did you hear that?"

”

Well, I heard you, I'm sorry.
