Chapter 367: Encounter with a thief
Outside the border gates, people came and went, and the soldiers guarding the city would stop passers-by from time to time for questioning.
Not far away, Chunxiang grabbed the unconscious Gu Xunfang, "Lord Gu, don't you want to walk in with such a swagger?" ”
The man lowered his eyes and looked at his coarse cloth dress, and then smiled coldly, "Don't want to let this adult dress as a woman again!" You must know that after leaving the team of the Marquis of Changding, he immediately changed into men's clothes, and he couldn't stand his embarrassing appearance for a moment.
Chunxiang's gaze fell on Gu Xunfang's uneven burden, this kind of thing appeared in the eyes of those soldiers, how could it not arouse suspicion, when the other party opened it, he found that there were some strange things inside, but he was afraid that the three of them would be immediately twisted to the yamen.
Gu Xunfang naturally understood the meaning in her eyes, "Master Ben said that he was a craftsman!" These are just handmade knick-knacks. ”
However, Chunxiang's eyes were a little disdainful, if even such a suspicious person could be put in, then Yi Guo would not become the power it is today!
At this time, Su Ling'er, who had been quiet, pulled Chunxiang's sleeve, "Mother! However, he looked at Gu Xunfang with a smile, "Father! ”
The two of them shook at the same time, and Haruka reacted instantly, and she coughed lightly, "Ahem, that's the only way." "Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to explain why they were carrying a child.
"Hmph, how can Lord Ben be such a visionless person?!" He looked Chunxiang up and down, although the other party's appearance was not bad, but no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a maid.
"I don't know what good things adults can do?"
Gu Xunfang ignored Chunxiang's eyes, and then looked at the fierce soldiers, "That's it, you are my sister, there is a flood in your hometown, and we will go to our relatives in Kyoto together." ”
The story of "......" is also reasonable.
Chunxiang sighed lightly, then took Su Linger's little hand and walked in the direction of the city gate.
Sure enough, one of the soldiers stared closely at Gu Xunfang's face as they approached, until they passed through the city gate and were immediately stopped. "Who is coming, and what is the matter with the border city?!"
Gu Xunfang snorted coldly in his heart, does he look like some suspicious person?
At this time, Su Linger shouted, "Father! Mother! ”
"......" The two of them changed their faces in unison, this is good, the story decided before is not needed at the moment.
The corners of Gu Xunfang's mouth were a little stiff, he looked at the innocent little face, and then a trace of an ugly smile appeared on his face, "The little one is a craftsman in Chenguo Town, and the insider is from the Yi country, this time the small hometown had a flood and washed away the house, so I took the insider to the relatives who wanted to go to the Yi country......"
Craftsman? The soldier took the burden on Gu Xunfang's back and opened it to see that it was full of strange things.
"These are small gadgets made of the rough iron of their hometown, and they haven't finished yet...... "Since they haven't finished yet, they can't let themselves play tricks on them, Gu Xunfang felt that he was really witty.
"Are you from Yiguo?!" They immediately set their sights on Haruka.
"Folk woman, yes, the relatives of the folk woman are in Xicheng, and at that time, the husband happened to go to the iron shop in Xicheng to learn art, so this is ......" Chunxiang's face turned red, and this shy appearance did not look like pretending.
I see, they still want to think about how the people of Yi Kingdom want to marry far away to Chen Kingdom.
However, these soldiers looked at each other, always feeling that something was not right, and hesitated whether to let them go. At this time, the little girl who had been silent took a step forward, she looked at a few people timidly, and Nuo Nuo's voice sounded, "Big brother...... Or, this, this little rabbit will give you ......" She reluctantly lifted the rabbit in her arms, this cute appearance made several soldiers instantly soften.
"Alright, let's go in!" The soldier waved his hand, and Su Ling'er immediately smiled sweetly, "Thank you, big brother!" ”
It wasn't until the family of three entered the city that several soldiers smiled, "That little girl is quite cute!" ”
Chunxiang caressed the hair on the top of Su Ling'er's head lovingly, "Thanks to Ling'er this time!" ”
The little girl raised her head happily and looked at Gu Xunfang expectantly, as if she wanted to get his praise.
The man glanced at her lightly, and Haruka on the side poked him with her elbow, "Uh-huh, the table is good!" ”
"Hee-hee...... The little rabbit also looks good! Su Linger lowered her head and stroked the fat and well-behaved rabbit, unable to put it down.
The three of them didn't notice that in the dark, a pair of eyes were staring at them tightly.
Gu Xunfang stopped, looking at the bustling inn in front of him, he moved his muscles slightly, "It's not early, now I'll rest here for a night, since I've arrived in Yi Country, it's just a matter of time." ”
His tone finally relaxed a little, and now he had already thought about it, and went into the inn to order the best wine and food!
lowered her head and looked at the ignorant Su Ling'er, "It's really your blessing to meet Lord Ben, you haven't eaten the delicacies of the mountains and seas, right?" ”
Delicacies? What's that...... Su Ling'er blinked her big eyes, and at this time, someone behind her pushed her heavily, and the little girl instantly became unstable and moved forward.
"Girl!"
Gu Xunfang hurriedly bent down and stretched out his hand, at this time, a violent force slammed into his arm, and the burden on his body was immediately dragged away, he quickly stood firm, slightly stunned, Chunxiang immediately shouted, "Don't run!" You little thief! ”
What happened? Gu Xunfang obviously hadn't reacted yet, he only felt that his arm hurt, looking at the back of Chunxiang running away, in broad daylight, there were even robberies on the street? !
"Big brother......" Su Ling'er was full of grievances, did she do something wrong?
"Oops!" At this time, Gu Xunfang remembered that he had all his silver tickets in his baggage! Those things can be rebuilt if they are lost, but the silver ticket ...... How are they going to live this way?
However, after a long time, Haruka appeared in front of them with a pale face, panting lightly, "...... He escaped. ”
There are too many small roads in this city, and Chunxiang is not familiar with it, so she was soon disappeared by the man who got into the alley.
"Damn, Ben-sama's silver ticket is all in there!"
Haruka's eyes were full of self-blame, she couldn't recover those things...... Wait, Silver Ticket?! "Lord Gu's silver ticket is the ...... in the silver village in the capital"
The man was slightly stunned, and then pursed his lower lip in a sudden realization.
……
"Get rich, get rich! How do you know those three outsiders have silver?! In the humble courtyard, two men with thieves and rat eyes scraped the things in Gu Xunfang's baggage.
One of them shook the heavy silver ticket, "Watching them go to the best inn, do you think there will be no silver?" ”
"Haha, that's smart! Let's count, how many are there! ”
"One, two, three, four, five...... Hahaha, come and go to Chunhong Mansion tonight to be happy! ”
"It's enough for us to live happily for a lifetime haha...... Wait, this ...... Have you ever heard of Jingfeng Yinzhuang? "One of them found the red stamp on it.
"I haven't heard of it, what's wrong......"
The man's face changed, and the feeling of falling into hell made him instantly pale. "Isn't that ...... It's the silver village of Tatsukuni, right? He noticed that the man said he was from Chenguo.
"Huh?!" The hands of the two holding the silver ticket froze instantly, and the silver ticket of Chen Guo ...... How to use it in their Yi country?! Do you want them to take this silver ticket to the silver village of Chenguo to get the silver?
"You idiot! Now, what's the use of holding these silver tickets?! Who will take it! ”
"Are you blaming me? If I hadn't found out, you wouldn't have seen so much silver in your life! ”
"Whew! Is this silver? Here you go! Before you find this silver village, you'll starve to death! ”
The two quarreled instantly, and soon a big fight ensued.
"Damn, it's fucking bad luck to know you!"
"Go, don't come and kneel and beg me in the future!"
The man threw himself out, and he got up and spat angrily, "We'll see! ”
It wasn't until the man disappeared at the door that the thief let out a long sigh and looked at the silver tickets scattered all over the ground, why was he so unlucky?! And the Chen country man who killed a thousand knives, what did he do with this waste paper to Yi Kingdom?!
The thief's gaze fell on the strange thing that they had just kicked aside, and he squatted down to look at it, "I don't know how much silver these broken copper and iron are worth?" ”
In the pawnshop.
With a bang, the obscene-looking man poured out the things.
"Heh, we don't collect scrap metal here!"
"Brother Wu, look at it, these are not scrap iron, they are useful!"
The shopkeeper glanced at it, these things looked weird, but they seemed to be really useful, could it be some kind of tool?
"Look, just give a few dollars!"
“…… Eight copper plates. ”
"Hey, Brother Wu, there are so many, maybe they can come in handy, give a few more!"
"Seven copper plates."
"Don't, don't, eight! Just eight, you take them all......" The thief was afraid of the shopkeeper's remorse, so he hurriedly pushed the pile out.
As a result, there were still only seven copper plates.
……
The three of them looked at the best inn and did not move for a long time.
Haruka tightened her sleeves, "My lord, the slave still has some silver here, and if you save a little, you should be able to reach Kyoto in Yi Country." ”
Su Linger took Chunxiang's little hand, "Sister, is there no delicacies from the mountains and seas to eat?" ”
Haruka smiled helplessly, "When you get to Kyoto, you have to eat." ”
Gu Xunfang snorted lightly, looking at the little girl who didn't dare to look at him until now, "When did Lord Ben break his word?" ”
"But my lord, there is not much silver left on the slave and maid."
"The silver on Lord Ben is enough for us to have a good meal!" After that, he had already taken the lead in the front, "Girl, don't you want to eat?" ”
"Yes!" At this moment, Su Linger immediately put the matter behind and chased after him closely.
Looking at the back of the big and small distance, Chunxiang sighed helplessly, and then a little smile appeared on her face, how did she think that Master Gu was becoming more and more humane?
