Chapter 273: Blocking the way
In order to seal the road, the table with teacups was placed in the middle of the road, obviously not taking money and not letting it pass.
Therefore, Guan Haocai said politely that he moved out of the signboard of Wanyou Commercial Bank, thinking that after solving this matter as soon as possible, he would enter the town before dark, and if he was lucky, he could find an inn to rest well.
But the other party obviously didn't have such a consciousness, and after hearing his words, he obviously sneered, "Alas, it's not that I don't want to move, it's really that the best Biluochun in the teapot has just been brewed, so I lose my original meaning when I move it." ”
After speaking, he glanced at the table blocking the way.
Guan Hao was annoyed in his heart, while maintaining a smile on his face, "Coincidentally, we have been walking for two hours, and we haven't had a chance to drink a sip of tea, so I didn't expect to wait here." We have chartered this pot of tea for our caravan, how much does it cost for a pot? ”
"Let's just do it by chance~" The man handed Guan Hao a look that counted as your acquaintance, "This mountain is high and the road is far away, I will transport these things, and I have to pick up firewood to boil water, but it takes a lot of old nose effort, and I won't ask you for more, just give two hundred taels of silver for the hard-earned money." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Chen wanted to laugh, the reason why Guan Hao spoke to him in a good voice just now was because he was tired from hurrying, if he only asked for a few dozen taels of silver, they would really give it.
But when he opened his mouth, he asked for two hundred taels of silver, which was a bit too greedy.
Just thinking about it, I heard Guan Hao open his mouth, "Hehe, even if it is the best Biluochun tea, now it only costs two hundred taels of silver a catty, make this pot of tea, at most use two dollars of tea, big brother, you really dare to speak." ”
"What? Still too expensive? It's okay! If it's too expensive, you can not drink it, and we are not unreasonable people. The big man snorted coldly, and then saw him raise his arm, bend his index finger and put it in his mouth, and a long whistle came out of his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, everyone heard a sound of footsteps coming from the woods next to them, and more than a dozen strong men with the same body as the man entered everyone's sight.
"The tea is already boiled, since you don't drink it, don't you mind if I call some guys to come and share it?"
Have the mountain bandits evolved to such an elegant level at this time? Even the words of threats are so roundabout.
Zhang Chen sighed in his heart while thinking about the escape route later.
After a while, he was dejected to find that the mountain bandits in front of him were experienced, and the path surrounding them had blocked all the back roads that he was going to escape.
Guan Hao had obviously seen this, and the expression on his face had changed, and he said to the big man who had just spoken to them: "I wasn't too thirsty, but after standing and talking for so long, my mouth is a little dry, if you can't finish this pot of tea, sell us some~"
This is to compromise with them, and want to admit the blackmail of the two hundred taels of silver just now.
"Unfortunately, the teapot is not big, and these teas are not enough for us to drink, but if you really want to drink, there is no way, so let's ask my brother to help you cook some more, but this salary is not the same price as I originally said."
"Big brother, the travel expenses given by our host have already cost us almost everything, and there are only four hundred taels of silver left," Guan Hao showed a very embarrassed expression, and after a while, he said in a gritted tone, "It will be there tomorrow afternoon, I only have ten taels of silver left for breakfast, and the rest will be bought for tea!" ”
Zhang Chen watched from the sidelines, thought about the expenses along the way, and finally came to the conclusion that the three hundred and ninety taels of silver should already be the maximum amount he could use. In other words, at this moment, there should be only four hundred taels of silver left on him.
"That's okay," Dahan agreed very happily, and everyone was relieved, but his next sentence made the smile on everyone's face freeze.
"Our brothers' clothes are also a little shabby, I see that you also brought a few pieces of fabric, so why don't you give us two horses and make a few new clothes."
The cloth was stacked on one of the wagons of the caravan, and it looked dusty because it was specially wrapped in a coarse cloth cover.
But Zhang Chen knew that these fabrics were worth a lot of money, and they definitely couldn't be bought for three or five hundred taels of silver.
Guan Hao's expression also changed, "Isn't this okay?" After we went back, we couldn't explain to the owner. ”
"If you can't explain it, you won't explain it! Even if your host is here today, you still have to leave the fabric behind. ”
Such arrogant remarks completely annoyed Guan Hao, he frowned, and warned the man, "Don't deceive people too much!" ”
"Lao Tzu is the one who deceives you!" Guan Hao gestured to everyone in the caravan, and everyone rushed up, and in an instant, this mountain trail became lively. Even Zhang Chen grabbed the long hair in his hand and acted. Before leaving, he had already agreed with several secret guards around him that as long as there was no fear for his life, under normal circumstances, they did not need to show up to protect his safety, so there were no secret guards at this time.
Just when the two sides were fighting, the horse that pulled the carriage Zhang Chen was riding just now was frightened and galloped towards another path.
A terrible hiss made Zhang Chen's emotions that were originally a little enthusiastic because of the fight come back a little. He glanced in the direction of the frightened horse, and quickly realized that the carriage was pulling on it, as if it was his own!
If it was just ordinary goods, even if it was worth a thousand gold, Zhang Chen was not so nervous, but there were still some gadgets that a few concubines asked him to bring to Erniu, which they collected little by little in their spare time. The courtesy is light and affectionate, if it is not a last resort, Zhang Chen will not throw them away casually.
The spear in his hand quickly played a spear, and when the opponent flashed, he had already raised his foot to chase after him.
The horses were indeed frightened, and the speed of the gallop was also fast, and Zhang Chen chased after him with all his strength for a quarter of an hour before he narrowly grabbed the corner of the reins.
Just as he grabbed the reins in his hand and wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly noticed that the horse in front of him 'smack', and half of his body fell down. Zhang Chen secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly stopped, and pulled the carriage back with his body.
But because of inertia, the carriage continued to move forward, and in the blink of an eye, the whole carriage disappeared.
Even the one who disappeared was Zhang Chen, who didn't have time to let go of the reins just now.
