Chapter Forty-Eight: Fleeing in the Middle of the Night
"Bai Mao, what do you think of this place?" The carriage stopped outside an inn, and Bai Wu raised the curtain and asked.
Bai Hao said coldly: "Whatever you want." β
A small inn, the guy came over to greet him warmly, "Does the guest officer want to hit the tip or stay in the hotel?" β
"Stay. Three upper rooms, three regular rooms, one night. There are also two carriages outside, so I can take care of them. As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of broken silver and put them on the counter, and a few clever handymen led the carriage to the backyard.
Bai Wu leaned over, "Why are there three upper rooms?" β
"You, I, Kungo."
"Why should one of your guards live in a room too?" Bai Wu said dissatisfied.
Kun Wu said: "Master, your subordinates can stay outside your door." β
Bai Hao ignored Kunwu, "My people just want to live in the upper room." Do I care if you are comfortable or not? Why don't you move to a regular room and experience it? He glanced at Bai Wu, asked the location of the room, and went upstairs.
Bai Wu stared at Bai Hao's back and kicked in the void, then went to the counter with his hands in his hands, and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, another guest room should be next to him, and the others are at will." As he spoke, he pointed in the direction Bai Hao had left.
The shopkeeper nodded knowingly.
The inn room is not big, but it has all the facilities and looks clean and comfortable.
Bai Mao had been bumpy all day, and he had not eaten dinner before he rested, but Bai Wu had been listening to the movement in the next room, and he had not fallen asleep late at night.
"Squeak-" Suddenly there was a sound of the wooden door being pushed open, and Bai Wu immediately bounced up from the couch.
hurriedly put on his shoes and put on his robe and ran out, "Bai Hao, I knew you were going to run-"
"How are you?" Bai Hao didn't see it, but Kunwu, who had an indifferent face, walked out of the next room and looked at him puzzled.
"Why are you coming out so late, your master?"
"......" Kungo didn't intend to ignore him.
Bai Wu said angrily: "I'm asking you!" β
"Master." Kungo looked behind Bai Wu and said.
Bai Wu turned his head, and before he could say the other word, he felt a dull pain in the back of his neck, and the next moment he lost consciousness.
Bai Hao only came out of the opposite room at this time, "It's really trouble." β
Kun Wu was puzzled: "Why doesn't the master use smoke? β
"This kid has never been trained since he was a child, and he doesn't know how long he will sleep with a little smoke, and no one will help him pay for the house after sleeping for an hour."
Kun Wu threw Bai Wu back into his own room, and then closed the door, "Master, my subordinates feel that it is okay for him to suffer more. β
ββ¦β¦β
Bai Hao was silent for a moment, and then said approvingly: "What you said is also reasonable. β
So there was an inch-long incense stick in the corner of Bai Hao's upper room and the other three ordinary rooms, and the master and servant took advantage of the night to gallop away.
Bai Wu and the others woke up at noon on the third day.
When he woke up, Bai Wu rubbed his stamina, which was still aching, and couldn't help but feel the ruthlessness of the guard.
Bai Hao really ran away with Kunwu, Bai Wu was so angry that he stomped his feet, and then ordered a few people: "Why don't you go and get the eldest prince back, it's hard to catch it, if the person is lost, how can I go back and deal with the old manββ"
As a result, a few people were stopped by a few guys before they could get out of the inn, "A few guest officers, you haven't paid for your room yet!" β
Bai Wu came down from upstairs, "Nonsense - my brother clearly paid the money yesterday. β
The shopkeeper walked out from behind the counter, "Childe, you are laughing, that childe paid the silver the day before yesterday, just one day's room money, and a few people can pay another day's room money today." β
Bai Wu was stunned, "You mean, we've been living here for two days?" β
"Today is the third day, if Childe wants to continue to live, it's fine, but the deposit has to be paid first."
"You wait." Bai Wu slowed down, and then trotted towards the backyard. It turned out that the carriage had been unloaded with two horses, and all the valuables on the carriage were gone, leaving only a box of clothes and a few boxes of pine nuts.
Bai Wu held on to the wooden pillar of the stable with some weak legs, and only after a long time did he hammer the carriage hard, "Bai Hao, you bastard!" β
When the shopkeeper saw Bai Wu coming back dejectedly, he immediately understood something, "Childe, don't you have no money?" β
Bai Wu was a little weak-hearted, but he still raised his head and said, "Do you think this son looks like he has no money?" β
The shopkeeper smiled: "This is not like it, and whether there is one, but it is two different things." β
"You-" Bai Wu made a half-gesture, but it was not easy to attack, so he said aggrievedly, "Shopkeeper, that's the case, I was ordered by my father to go home and get married, but my brother didn't want to do this family business, so he calculated me and ran away with the silver." You see, if not, I'll keep these three men here for you to be your buddies, and I'll come back to ransom them when I get home and get the money. β
The shopkeeper shook his head, "I don't lack manpower in this inn, I still waste my food by raising those few people for nothing, I can't afford to delay this small business," and looked at Bai Wu's good material again, "I see that you are also the son of a rich and noble family, why don't you write a letter to the family, let the family send the money, and I will let you go." β
This place is still in the territory of Dayan, Mo said that there is still some distance from the mirror city and the border of South Vietnam. Not to mention that when Ning Wangfu sent the silver to others, it was almost gone, the key was that he couldn't let the old prince know about it......
Bai Wuwu tapped his head with his fingers, and after a long time, he didn't come up with any way.
"Have you thought about it?"
Bai Wu had a wit, "Otherwise, the shopkeeper, these people will be given to you, and if you sell them, you have to have some silver." β
Several people looked at Bai Wu in disbelief, "Childe, why are you-"
Bai Wu glared at them fiercely, and then heard the shopkeeper sigh: "Son, you don't understand the market, these people have no body, they don't have a look, this is regarded as manpower, and they can't sell it for a few dollars." β
ββ¦β¦β
Bai Wu was stunned for a moment.
An hour later, the four of them left the inn.
There was only one carriage left, and the carriage without horses was left with only a carriage, and Bai Wu's newly cut clothes and some hairpins were crowned and hairpins, and even the boxes containing the clothes were given to the pawnshop, and then the house was paid, and some silver taels were left as coils.
The three little guys were huddled outside to set up the car, and Bai Wu sat in the empty carriage, looking at a package with only two clothes, feeling extremely lonely.
There were still many thousands of miles away from Mirror City, and Bai Wu felt that the way home was so far away for the first time.
Even sighed, and the pine nuts were no longer tasteful.
A little guy uninterestingly lifted the crack of the curtain, "Shizi, aren't we looking for the eldest son?" β
Bai Wu grabbed a handful of pine nuts and smashed them on his head and face, "It's good that I can return to Mirror City alive, do you remember that bastard with no conscience, is he your master or am I your master!" β
The little guy lowered the curtain of the car, whispered "Both", and then distributed the caught pine nuts to the other two companions.
On the rather desolate path outside the city, Bai Wu's roar came, "Bai Hao, I'm not done with you, master-"
