Chapter 357: The Panicked Changle

Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info in a private house.

The four of them, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu held bowls on a small table, snoring and drinking porridge.

Changle was also drinking porridge on another larger table, but the difference was that there were two dishes in front of Changle, a plate of pickled radish and a plate of pickled meat.

Not only is the food simple, but Changle's clothes are also very simple, because he does not wear a fur coat to keep out the cold in the house, and the clothes inside have been changed from fine silk to plain linen. A head of hair is simply pulled up with a bamboo hairpin, and there is nothing else, looking bare.

It stands to reason that even if there is no money on the body, but how can it be sold a golden hairpin and a golden step, the life should not be so worrying, after all, the things used by the princess can be bad, it must be worth a lot.

It is precisely because the golden hairpin and the golden step shake are so beautiful, and the workmanship style is very usable, which leads to the fact that there is no upper price for sale.

In order not to be traced, they don't dare to go to a large and large-scale quality store, that is, a pawnshop, when they pawn things, because the shopkeepers in such places have quite good eyesight, and it is easy to see the approximate origin of the things, in case the tracer happens to come to ask about them, then their whereabouts will be exposed.

Therefore, you can only find a low-looking quality bank to pawn, and such a quality bank often can't offer a good price for good things.

I asked several companies to find a slightly suitable price, but in this way, the shopkeeper of this store did not give them a valuation according to jewelry, but according to the price of gold.

The price of the material of the jewelry itself is basically fixed, and the real starting price is its added value, that is, the production process and design.

Undoubtedly, the price of the things that Changle took out is very high, and that is also because its production process and design are better, and the added value is high, so the price will be high, but according to the valuation of its own materials, that is, the price of gold, the price has shrunk greatly.

Moreover, the quality warehouse is a pawnshop pawn thing, even if it is based on the gold price, it will not be paid according to the original price, it is all subject to conversion, and the pawn price given is much lower than the price that the thing should be.

Just like those who pawn clothes in pawnshops in later TV movies, pawnshop shopkeepers often say that insects eat rats, the bare board is hairless, and the skin is torn, just to reduce the price.

Of course, even so, the amount of money that Jin Hai and Jin Bu Shao got after pawning was quite considerable, but they had to feed not only five people, but also five horses, five good horses.

In the days when I was on the boat on the Danjiang River, it cost a lot of money for these five horses, and it was even more of a trouble to get to these five horses in Jingzhou City. It's not about the horse's forage, it's about storage.

It's easy to change the face of five people, but it's not easy for five horses to hide their whereabouts, especially five good horses.

Jingzhou is located in the southern plain, there are many beautiful ships in this place, but good horses, it is much rarer.

Compared to tracking down the five of them, it's actually easier to get clues from tracking down these horses.

So don't look at the five of them renting a house, but the horses didn't dare to be kept in the house, but spent a relatively large amount of money to find a few scattered foster homes.

This alone cost more than half of the money from the pawn, so it's not surprising that they live in fear.

"Brother Wang, when do you say Brother Yuanqing will be able to come here, will they not stay in Jingzhou at all?" After eating, Changle frowned and asked worriedly.

"The princess doesn't have to worry, I heard the young master talk about it when he didn't set off in Chang'an, saying that the army would not prepare too much grain and grass, and after leaving the Blue Martial Arts Road, the grain and grass would be replenished from the cities along the road." Speaking of which, the dynasty glanced at Mahan.

Mahan continued: "Yesterday I went to the post station outside the city to see, there has been grain and grass brought in, it should be prepared for the army, I estimate that today, tomorrow at the latest, should arrive."

"Why do you want to transport grain and grass to the post station outside the city, when the army arrives, you can't pull it directly from the city, and it makes so much trouble." Changle asked suspiciously.

This question is very white, and several people in the dynasty were stunned for a moment, before the dynasty explained: "The princess doesn't know, the army is not allowed to enter the city in non-war time, and can only be stationed outside the city, even in wartime, the army must have an order to enter the city."

Changle wanted to ask why the soldiers and horses like the prince Liurate and the sixteen guards were stationed in Chang'an City instead of outside the city, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem that there was any need to ask this question, and it had nothing to do with him, so he stopped.

"It's possible to arrive today, so how can we contact Brother Yuanqing" Changle remembered a question again.

"Hehe, this is simple, although the army will not enter the city, but young master, Geng Guogong and they should enter the city. Even if they don't come in, we can follow behind the army after replenishing the food and grass from the post station outside the city." Wang Chao said with a smile.

"Then, why don't you watch at the post station, Brother Ma, what if you miss it?" Changle said anxiously.

"Haha, don't worry, princess, I promised to give the kid from Uncle Wang's house next door five cents, let him watch it on his behalf, if there is news, he will come back to inform him as soon as possible, and then we can leave directly." Mahan smiled and waved his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, there were hurried footsteps and shouts outside.

............................

At this time, Wu Yuanqing, Li Chengqian, and Changsun Chong had already ridden into Jingzhou City.

Their arrival was not welcomed in any way, because the officials such as the State Assassin Shi and Bei Jia were still staying at the post station to greet Feng Gu, Su Dingfang and others.

The entry into the city was proposed by Wu Yuanqing, Li Chengqian enthusiastically agreed, and Changsun Chong resolutely opposed it, but two votes against one was invalid.

Looking at the black-faced eldest grandson Chong, Wu Yuanqing smiled: "I said eldest grandson chong, don't keep your face black all day, it's okay, you finally come to the city to eat something good, you will die if you smile and laugh."

The eldest grandson glanced at Wu Yuanqing expressionlessly, but did not answer, and continued to pretend to be a black-faced man.

Wu Yuanqing is in a very happy mood, and teasing Changsun Chong every day has become an indispensable leisure and entertainment project for him.

From the moment he caught up with him, Changsun Chong didn't show a smile, and as the people sent out reported from time to time that they hadn't found any trace of Changle, Changsun Chong was even colder like an ice cube.

His unhappiness is exactly what Wu Yuanqing is most happy about.

Wu Yuanqing knew that if he wanted to chase someone who wanted to hide, time was the key, the sooner it was easier to catch up, and the longer the time dragged on, the slimmer the hope of catching up.
