Chapter 320: Quickening the Pace (35)

Xiao Liu took the note given by the shopkeeper, and then suddenly felt that the note seemed to be a little wrong, and just when he was puzzled, the shopkeeper shook his head slightly and said, "Go back and look at ......." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

“……。” Xiao Liu silently put the note into his arms when he heard this, nodded slightly and replied, "Okay......." ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper put the tea bowl in his hand on the table and took out two copper plates, and said to Xiao Liu: "Let's go, I'll send you out of the city ......." ”

After speaking, Xiao Liu took his luggage and led the horse, followed closely behind the shopkeeper, and went to the north city gate. Although this tea shop is not too far from the North City Gate itself, on the way to this section, Xiao Liu is still a little puzzled, and he can't figure out why the shopkeeper has to personally send him out of the city.

With such a question, Xiao Liu followed the shop Xiaoer to the city gate, and at this time he saw a notice posted at the city gate, the content of which mainly said that the war ahead was tight, and now he could only enter the city and not go out of the city. This made it inconvenient for many people to travel, and many people who wanted to travel crowded at the city gates, constantly explaining to the guards why they were going out of the city, begging them to open the gates and let them go. But even so, the guards still looked at the group of people coldly, and refused vigorously: "Don't shout, this notice was posted yesterday, you have all read it, don't ask me the same question again, if you can't go out of the city, you can't go out, don't ask why, this is also an order from the Khan, if you insist on going out of the city, then you have to follow what this notice says...... ”

"Official, official, please, let us go out, we really have an urgent ......." In the face of the guard's cold refusal, the people who wanted to leave the city still pleaded unrelentingly.

Seeing this, Xiao Liu almost found the answer by himself, so he asked the shopkeeper: "This seems to be a lockdown?" Could it be that Khan or Mok found out something? ”

"I don't know much about this, I just know that this started yesterday, so if you leave today, I have to send you out in person......." The shopkeeper replied, "But anyway, don't talk too much later, look at my eyes, you know?" ”

"Uh-huh......." Xiao Liu nodded slightly and replied.

Saying that, the two of them squeezed in from a place where there were few people on the side, and then the shopkeeper accompanied the smiling face and said to a guard standing in the corner: "This official, can you be accommodating?" My little brother is going out of the city to buy some supplies, and he will go back as soon as he goes, you see...... Can you let it go......? ”

After speaking, he pulled the guard's hand over, and then quietly put a silver ingot in the palm of the guard's hand, and the guard held the silver ingot and looked the shopkeeper up and down, and then looked at Xiao Liu standing behind the shopkeeper, and said lightly: "It's really procurement...... Is it? ”

"Uh-huh......." The shopkeeper replied in a loud voice, "It's really a purchase, there are fewer and fewer things in this city, if you don't go out of the city to buy something from other nearby cities and come back, my shopkeeper shouldn't give the little one a meal,...... Official, you can do well, even if you give the little one a way to live, this is now a war in the wilderness, isn't it all for the sake of eating...... You say yes is not ....... ”

After hearing the words of the shopkeeper, the guard looked at them lightly a few more times, and then stuffed the silver ingot given by the shopkeeper into his arms when no one was paying attention, and said, "...... Then you wait, I'll go talk to our boss and see, if it doesn't work, I can't help it, if not, you can wait back for a while, there are fewer people, maybe I can talk about letting you go out ....... But I don't dare to guarantee that you will be able to get out, but I just say that maybe, if you can't get out, you will have to admit ....... Got it? ”

"Hmm...... Understood, understood, understood....... The shopkeeper nodded with a smile on his face. Saying that, the guard turned around and went to talk to his so-called leader, "Chief, I have a friend who wants to go out of the city to buy some things from a neighboring city, can you give a convenient ......?" ”

"...... your friend?" The leader of the guard asked, "What friend......?" You've been working under me for so long, and I didn't even know you had a merchant friend? ”

"Well...... this." The guard paused and said, "Actually, it's an inn I often go to eat...... and I recognize the second child of the shop, so I ......." ”

"Oh...... You kid...... Is it really a twist and turn? The man said, "Isn't that the inn the place where you often go to open rooms?" ”

"Uh......." The guard paused, then nodded slightly, "Almost...... Sort of....... So do you see if you can let it go? ”

After speaking, he subconsciously looked around and asked, "What about them?" ”

When the guard heard this, he hurriedly raised his finger and said, "Huh...... It's over there. ”

"Uh-huh......." The leader nodded lightly and said, "You go to the barracks and find a random set of clothes for the little brother who is going out of the city, and let him change into them, and then you let him out of the city, right?" But...... Do you have to ......? ”

After saying this, he stretched out his hand lightly and signaled to him, the guard was silent for a while, and then reluctantly took out the silver ingot that the shopkeeper had just given him, and gave it to the head very reluctantly, and the head was a little unhappy when he saw that there was only one, and said, "That's it......?" ”

"Uh-huh......." The guard nodded again and again, "That's it...... here." ”

"That's not enough, ......?" The head was a little greedy and said, "Do you know that it's not easy to release people out of the city now, don't you know?" That's all...... How can that be enough? ”

After speaking, he flipped his hand slightly, and the guard was really speechless, so he slowly took out his money bag, and when he saw that it was a money bag, he snatched it without saying a word, and then turned around with a smile to supervise those who entered the city. When the guard saw that his money bag and the ten taels of silver were gone, he was a stomach full of grievances and a stomach full of anger, which was really a loss to his wife and soldiers, and he paid so much for the release of the result. Thinking of this, the guard gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and walked towards the shopkeeper angrily.

When the shopkeeper saw the guard's angry appearance, he hurriedly said good things with a smiling face: "The official has really worked hard for you...... Come on, you can take this...... This is the filial piety of my shopkeeper to you, and I forgot about it just now, so I ...... it. (To be continued.) )
