Volume 1: The Wind Rises and Peace Chapter 67: Now I can finally make a difference
Wang Le was frightened, how could he collect money like this? After thinking about it, Wang Le decided that it would be better to hurry back to the cottage and bring someone over to receive it.
After all, five zhang is one or two pieces of silver, and no one can stand it.
Not long after Wang Le left, the shopkeeper of Qianzhuang ran back happily, and after looking around, he didn't find Wang Le's figure, so he smiled respectfully at Mu Cheng.
"My lord, I don't know who ...... just now"
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mu Cheng waving his hand: "He went back to find someone, saying that your freight is too high." ”
"Huh?"
The shopkeeper was a little depressed, is it expensive to send a hundred miles of silver for thirty taels of silver? It seems that I should do market research.
Seeing that the shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang did not speak, Mu Cheng looked at the other party and asked, "Is there any news from the Tianwei City?" ”
The shopkeeper of Qianzhuang was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Mu Cheng and said with a smile: "Lord Mingjian, the villain doesn't know about the Acropolis this day." ”
Mu Cheng smiled softly, and then tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"Don't pretend, it's all a fox in the mountains, what are you talking to me about. Tell me about the information you got over there. ”
The shopkeeper of the money village couldn't see that he was confused, so he could only reply with a bitter face.
"It's really hard for an adult to be a villain. The Acropolis has been quiet recently, and there is a shortage of food, and there is nothing else. But ......"
"But?" Seeing that the shopkeeper of the money village wanted to speak and stopped, Mu Cheng suddenly became a little angry. This is not to take me as a parent official.
The shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang also saw the displeasure on Mu Cheng's face, and hurriedly added: "But I heard that a new grain merchant has entered the Acropolis City in the past two days, and the food problem should be temporarily alleviated." ”
Mu Cheng snorted coldly when he heard this, looked at the shopkeeper of the money village, and said with a smile.
"Your news is really fast, you already know what happened in the past two days?"
The shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang had a wry smile on his face, looked at Mu Cheng and explained.
"This ...... If you do this business, you will inevitably be well-informed, otherwise you would have lost all your money a long time ago, don't you say? ”
Mu Cheng had already beaten the other party, so there was no need to continue to delve into this issue.
After thinking about it, Mu Cheng asked again.
"What's the news in the capital?"
The shopkeeper of the money village looked even more bitter, feeling that the county master was here to find his own information.
Although he didn't want to answer, the shopkeeper still succumbed to Mu Cheng's obscenity and had no choice but to speak.
"There haven't been any major incidents in the capital recently, but I heard that His Majesty's health has not been particularly good in recent days......
Before he finished speaking, Mu Chengcheng already felt a little cold in his back, and hurriedly got up and interrupted: "Be careful!" ”
The shopkeeper of the money bank was also frightened, and then looked around to see that there was no one around, and then he came to Mu Cheng's ear and said.
"The sources are not particularly reliable, but now many people know that His Majesty's health is not very good, and I heard that the Cabinet is looking for a successor from His Majesty's blood relatives."
After that, the shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang also sighed softly, and continued to Mu Cheng: "You said that Your Majesty will not leave a seed, if the limit is really approaching, then the world will not be chaotic?" ”
Mu Cheng stared at the shopkeeper of the Qianzhuang in horror, and seeing that the shopkeeper of the Qianzhuang had finished speaking, Mu Cheng hurriedly said: "Can the actions of the cabinet be confirmed?" ”
The shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang nodded lightly and said to Mu Cheng: "The cabinet's actions can confirm that the cabinet took His Majesty's genealogy from the temple a few days ago, but what he said to the outside world is that His Majesty's genealogy needs to be sorted out. ”
As he spoke, he only heard the shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang chuckle lightly, and added to Mu Cheng: "This reason is for you Lord Mu, do you believe it?" When did the cabinet become His Majesty's retainers? ”
When Mu Cheng heard this, he no longer spoke, but repeatedly digested the news brought by the shopkeeper in his heart.
Seriously, the news that the shopkeeper of the money bank said shocked Mu Cheng very much. In this era, the most particular thing is a son of heaven and a courtier, if His Majesty is really unwell, then his backer is likely to be excluded from the inner circle, which makes Mu Cheng very worried. After all, this matter has a direct impact on his career.
After being silent for a while, Mu Cheng decided to divert the topic and continued to ask the shopkeeper of the bank.
"Is there any news from the Western Regions Sect?"
The shopkeeper of Qianzhuang was a little crying, and looked at Mu Cheng and said pitifully.
"My lord really thinks highly of me, our money bank's business can't do Zongguo, how can there be news of Zongguo? But there is really a piece of news, it is the news brought back by the caravan from the Western Regions, and I don't know if it is true or not. ”
Mu Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with interest: "Come, let's talk about it." ”
The shopkeeper of the money village pondered for a while, and then he spoke: "I heard that the lord of the Western Regions Sect is preparing to drive a personal expedition, but I don't know where the target is. ”
"The Imperial Driver?" Mu Cheng couldn't believe it, after all, in this era, it's not your emperor who fights like a war, and he goes to the battlefield if he wants to go to the battlefield in person. After all, he is the king of a country, and if he is defeated, it will not be a simple face-saving problem, but it will be a change in Jinmu Castle and a change in Yinmu Castle.
So when the shopkeeper of the money bank said these four words, Mu Cheng's first reaction was to believe it. But after thinking about it for a while, I suddenly felt that this news might be a bit reliable.
This means that Mu Cheng's news is relatively lagging behind. It will take at least half a month to travel from the Western Regions Sect to Ping'an County, and the lord of the Western Regions Sect only decided to drive the expedition in person two days ago. So this news is simply nonsense from the caravan in the mouth of the shopkeeper of the money bank.
But Mu Cheng didn't know, after thinking that this news was a bit reliable, Mu Cheng felt that his whole person was not good.
"Come on, go and get Mr. Wang back! Fast! Mu Cheng slapped the table and commanded downstairs.
……
At this time, Wang Le had already walked out of Ping'an County and was walking slowly towards Heifeng Village. Now Wang Leman's mind is full of the 100,000 taels of silver, and with the power of money, Wang Le's steps are much brisker.
Not long after walking, I heard the sound of horses' hooves behind me. Wang Le looked back and saw an errand officer galloping towards him on horseback.
The other party also clearly saw Wang Le, and began to shout from a distance: "Teacher Wang, please stay, Teacher Wang, please stay!" ”
Wang Le heard the other party's shout, so he stood still and stood on the side of the road waiting for the other party.
As a result, after the other party passed by Wang Le, he sprinted forward for more than 100 meters before stopping. The errand officer also seemed to notice that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted and ran to Wang Le's side, and said to Wang Le.
"Teacher Wang, Master Mu has an urgent matter, please come over."
Wang Le was stunned when he heard this, then looked at the errand and asked, "Did Master Mu say what happened?" ”
The officer shook his head and explained to Wang Le: "I don't know the little one, I only know that Master Mu is very anxious, let the little one take you back." ”
Wang Le looked at the county seat behind him, and then looked at the mountain road in front of him, and then said to the errand officer: "You take me to the village, and then I will go to the county seat with you, okay?" ”
Obviously, Wang Le is still thinking about his 100,000 taels of silver.
I saw that the errand shook his head gently at Wang Le, and said to Wang Le with a wry smile: "Teacher Wang said that you are laughing, you don't know Lord Mu's temper......
Wang Le groaned for a while, and then said to the officer: "Okay, but after you send me over, you have to go to our village immediately, and let Lao Hua bring more people and a carriage to the county seat, so as to pull some mountain goods." ”
The errand hurriedly nodded, and said in his heart that this teacher Wang didn't make things difficult for himself, it's really good.
Convincing that the education work has been completed, the messenger stretched out his hand at Wang Leyi and said, "Please ask Teacher Wang to ride back with me, Master Mu is ......already waiting."
Before he could finish speaking, the officer was startled - the horse was gone!
"What about horses? Mr. Wang, have you seen my horse? ”
Seeing the anxious look on the officer's face, Wang Le shook his head lightly and said apologetically: "I only cared about talking to you, and I didn't pay attention to your horse ......."
The messenger looked around again, and just as Wang Le was about to step forward to comfort him, he saw the messenger's throat and fainted.
……
Time went back, and the soldier who was carried by the black tiger wandered aimlessly.
The horse is lost, and it's really hard to go back. It doesn't matter if the horse is lame or not, as long as it is a horse, it is a strategic material.
While the soldier was still searching aimlessly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the road not far away.
The soldier subconsciously looked in the direction of the road, only to see a fast horse stop not far from him, and the man on the horse turned over and dismounted, and ran away in a hurry, but the horse stayed in place.
Looking around, the soldier didn't notice anyone around. At this time, the messenger was standing on the side of the road with Wang Le talking, and the figures of the two were blocked by the tall weeds of one person.
There was no one around, and there was a horse. The soldier was overjoyed, perhaps because his sincerity had moved the heavens, so God came to give him a horse.
Since it was sent, he unceremoniously accepted it all. So the soldier walked to the road, led the horse and walked into the grass.
But the horses of this Ping'an County Ya are all professionally trained, and ordinary people lead it, and it will not walk at all. The soldier had taken a few steps, and the horse stood still.
This made the soldier anxious, after all, if he went back without a horse, he would probably be dealt with by military law.
You must know that when people are in a desperate situation, they will burst out with unparalleled power.
The soldier's mind flashed through the words of the man in the fine costume from earlier. Someone, carrying a horse, ran away.
After thinking about it, the soldier decided not to do it, why couldn't he do what others could do.
Thinking of this, the soldier tiptoed to the horse's side, and while the horse was not paying attention, he picked up the horse from under the horse's belly, and ran away with the horse regardless of the surrounding situation.
As he ran, the soldier thought to himself.
"Now I can finally make a difference......"
