Chapter 103: Picking Up a Princess
The snow melts and merges into shallow streams, clear and lively. Under the dense wild grass, reddish shoots emerged. Reckless and vast, from time to time there are cattle and sheep running, on the road, business travel is endless.
It was not as bleak and barbaric as expected, but on the contrary, it was still a prosperous scene. Zhang Ke dressed up as a young rich man, followed closely by several servants, all dressed as Ma Biao and a few soldiers.
"Adult ......"
"Ahem! What should it be called? ”
Ma Biao's face turned red suddenly, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Young master, it's about twenty miles away from Yizhou in front!" ”
"Well, it's all faster."
Zhang Ke and the others urged their horses forward, but they didn't go far, and suddenly a caravan appeared in front of them, with four or five carriages, loaded with goods. For a businessman in his early fifties, still wearing an old sheepskin jacket, an old face was blown smoking, holding a cigarette pouch in his hand, and spitting clouds and mist!
Seeing Zhang Ke and them coming, the old man suddenly coughed: "Young man, where are you going?" ”
Zhang Ke has been highly vigilant since he left the Great Wall, and when he heard someone shouting, he reined in the horse and said with a smile: "Old man, we have to go to the front to do something urgent!" ”
"Urgent? How urgent can it be? ”
"You can't ask about this!" Ma Biaoxin said that an old man appeared where he dared to do so many things!
The old man rolled his eyelids and sneered: "Little Housheng, if you don't ask, someone will ask, I'm afraid that you will lose your head, and be kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs, get out!" Go to the head knife! ”
"Young master, this old thing is talking nonsense, let's go quickly!"
"Slow!" With a smile on his face, Zhang Ke jumped off his horse and took a few steps to the front of the old man's carriage.
"Old man, the next person has never seen the world, don't blame it! You are old and virtuous, is there any danger ahead, and please give me some advice. ”
The old man snorted and said impatiently: "The old man is not in the mood, you ask for more blessings!" Second son, don't rush to catch the car, stop and drink saliva first! ”
The caravan listened to the side of the road and made it clear that Zhang Ke and they would go first.
Zhang Ke frowned, beyond the Great Wall is the world of the White Lotus Sect, and it is indeed dangerous to be reckless. Zhang Ke rolled his eyes, hurriedly ran to the front of the horse, took out a cloth bag from his pocket, and sent it to the old man with a smile.
"Old gentleman, as the saying goes, tobacco and alcohol are not separated, the kid brought a little dry tobacco, you always taste it!"
The old man raised his eyebrows, did not speak, but took the cloth bag in his hand, pinched a little tobacco, put it under his nose and smelled it.
The old man hurriedly poured out the remaining cigarettes in the smoke pot, grabbed some Zhang Ke's tobacco and stuffed it in, took out the flint and lit the tobacco, and took a puff of beauty.
The head was tilted up forty-five degrees, his eyes were squinted, and he looked intoxicated, not to mention how beautiful.
"Young man, this cigarette is really authentic, mellow and fragrant, ordinary people will never afford to smoke it, am I right?"
The old man's eyes kept staring at Zhang Ke, as if he wanted to find something out of him.
Zhang Ke has been baptized by information explosion, and he has a bit of a foundation in psychology and investigation, how can an old man see the flaws. He said honestly: "The old man has good eyesight, my family is a salt merchant in Jinzhou, and he has a little money!" ”
"Hahahaha, it's too polite, the salt merchant is the top businessman in the Ming Dynasty, and if he is stained with the word salt, it is equivalent to having a cornucopia, and he doesn't have to run around every day like us. By the way, how could you, a rich young master, come to this place, don't have any bad intentions! ”
"No, no, no!" Zhang Ke hurriedly waved his hand: "Old man, I can't hide it, more than half a year ago, my mother was walking in the courtyard, and I saw a giant python on the grape trellis, which was three or five zhang long. As a result, my mother fainted at that time and never fell ill. Inviting a famous doctor is not effective, and it is not possible to invite monks and Taoists to do it. Seeing my mother's body collapse day by day, I'm the son's ...... It's distressing! ”
Zhang Ke said and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, it was just like the real thing. Ma Biao in the back secretly gave a thumbs up, saying in their hearts that no wonder they are adults, this acting ability is really first-class!
The old man frowned as he listened.
"Young man, the giant python is a spiritual creature, maybe Lingtang has made a mistake!"
"What the old gentleman said is right, many monks and Taoists also say the same, but their skills are low, and they can't exorcise evil spirits. I happened to hear that there were high-ranking people in Yizhou, so I brought a few family members over and wanted to ask for the elixir to treat my mother. Sir, can you give me some advice, I can't thank you enough! ”
Zhang Ke took out the silver in his arms as he spoke, and took out two ingots in a blink of an eye.
The old man smiled and waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Young man, for the sake of you being a filial son, the old man will help you, and the silver will be free, but this pack of cigarettes will belong to me!" ”
"Sir, if you like it, I still have it, and I'll give it all to you."
……
Zhang Ke hooked up with the old man, chatting non-stop along the way. The old man said that he was unintentional, but Zhang Ke was the listener's intention.
"Young man, tell you that you have a lot of capable people in Shuanglong Mountain, Yizhou, curing diseases and driving away evil spirits, drawing talismans to save people, and even sprinkling beans into soldiers, calling for wind and rain, that is a living immortal in the world! Your mother's illness is in their hands, it's a piece of cake, as long as a spirit rune, it is guaranteed to be cured. ”
"That's great, old man, how can you get a talisman?"
"Hehe, usually you don't have a chance, you are blessed, the eldest son of the sect leader of March 3 Xiao wants to marry. Don't you see, the old man is trafficking red cloth in the past. I heard that when you get married, you should sprinkle spiritual water, give alms to spiritual talismans, and if you are willing to spend money, you can also invite the statue of Mingzun and put it at home. ”
As he was walking forward, six or seven men suddenly burst out of the artemisia grass on both sides, all with swords in their hands, blocking the way. Ma Biao and the others immediately stretched out their hands to their waists, but Zhang Ke shook his head imperceptibly, signaling them not to move.
"Lao Sun, I'm here to deliver again, why are you still bringing so many people?"
The old man hurriedly jumped down from the carriage and grinned: "It turns out that a few heavenly soldiers are guarding here, and Lao Sun has saluted you!" ”
"What did you send this time?"
"It's all red cloth, and a lot of candy cube candles!"
"Hahaha, you old man is so shrewd, you will send red cloth when you know that there is a happy event, you really have you. By the way, these boys look at the faces, what's going on? ”
Lao Sun hurriedly smiled and said: "They are here to ask for medicine, to treat the old mother's illness, there are not many filial sons these days, please ask a few heavenly soldiers to make it convenient!" ”
At this time, Zhang Ke also hurriedly walked over, took out two small gold ingots from his arms, and stuffed them into the hands of the leader. Dare to love this heavenly soldier is not worth much, Zhang Ke couldn't help but slander.
Along the way, Zhang Ke met three waves of people, and if it weren't for Lao Sun to follow, it would be really easy to get into trouble.
They went all the way and finally arrived in Yizhou, which was originally the location of the Houtun guard of Guangning, but after being abandoned by the Ming Dynasty, it became a place where Manchus and Han people lived together. The walls are dilapidated, but the population is quite large and prosperous.
The most conspicuous thing is that there are signs of white lotus flowers everywhere, and there are many Maitreya Buddha statues, and there are countless good men and women who burn incense and worship.
Lao Sun familiarized himself with the situation and found an inn.
"Young man, rest first, tomorrow the old man will lead you to Shuanglong Mountain to have a look. It's important to save people, don't wait for March 3rd, but you have to be smart and sincere, otherwise the Dharma Protector won't have mercy on you! ”
Zhang Ke hurriedly smiled: "I understand, as long as I can save my mother, I will be willing to spend more!" ”
Lao Sun smiled: "Okay, it's good to understand, the old man is also tired, go and rest first." ”
After sending off Lao Sun, Zhang Ke sat in the room, closed his eyes and thought.
There are a large number of people around Yizhou, and the White Lotus Sect has almost more than 10,000 members, just like a kingdom, and it is heavily guarded, and it is very difficult to storm it.
Zhang Ke thought of March 3 again, this is definitely an important day, the eldest son of the sect leader is going to get married, and what Maitreya will come to the world, it seems that the time for them to start an incident is not far away.
Who are they targeting, will it be Da Ming! Who is the traitor, and is there any danger in Daqing Fort!
A mess in my head......
No matter, wait until tomorrow to go to Shuanglong Mountain to have a look and figure out the situation, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu led the troops to destroy the White Lotus Sect!
Zhang Ke sat sullenly until midnight, and then leaned on the side of the kang and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Ke suddenly heard the sound of Xi Suosuo, he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a figure standing next to the table of the Eight Immortals, grabbing the snacks on the table and stuffing them into his mouth!
There are thieves!
Zhang Ke stood up quietly, came behind the thief, and suddenly stretched out his right hand, like iron tongs, and buckled the thief, and the two of them were tightly together.
I didn't see it, I'm not tall, my chest muscles are very good, my forehead is wrong, it's a woman!
At this time, the little guy who was hugged suddenly opened his mouth and bit Zhang Ke's arm fiercely!
"Ahh
Zhang Ke snorted, and with his left hand, he drew a short sword and pressed it against the woman's neck.
"Don't bite, or I'll cut off your head!"
By the light of the moon, the short sword reflected the light of Bai Sensen, and the person in his arms finally stopped exerting his strength, and his whole body trembled, and a low sobbing came.
"Hey!" Zhang Ke sighed, speaking of which, this thief still has a conscience, he didn't steal money, he just ate something, it's nothing, Zhang Ke let go of his hand.
"Don't cry, if you're really hungry, eat something and get out of here, that is, if you meet me, change it to someone else, you can see."
Zhang Ke took the initiative to take a step back as he spoke, and the little thief gradually turned around, gritting his teeth, and the tears continued to roll down, as if he had been greatly wronged. Reluctantly nodded at Zhang Ke, then grabbed the mung bean cake on the table and ate it in a big gulp.
"Don't choke, drink some water!" Zhang Ke poured a bowl of the only jujube tea in the store and delivered it to the woman.
"Thank you!" The woman whispered, taking a big gulp from her bowl.
Why is the sound so familiar!
Zhang Ke frowned, he took the horse lantern, lit it immediately, and with the light, he finally saw the woman's face clearly. Seventeen or eighteen years old, tall, handsome features, only wearing a sheepskin jacket, with tears on his cheeks, looking pitiful!
"Girl, we seem to have met somewhere!"
As soon as Zhang Ke said this, the little girl suddenly jumped up like a frightened little beast, took out a dagger from her arms, and stabbed Zhang Ke at her!
"What a girl, what a barbar!" Zhang Ke's hand was quick, he grabbed the jade bowl, and grabbed it hard, and the woman suddenly lay in his arms, and the two of them faced each other.
"I remember, did you come with four or five hundred people to attack the horse market, you are not from the fried flower department...... How did you get to this point? Zhang Ke's eyes widened in horror!
