Chapter 522: Each has a ghost
"We are a passing caravan, who are you? Why approach the caravan? β
Seeing that Xu Rui didn't answer, Qi Hong let go of his voice and shouted again.
Xu Rui seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly hugged his fists at everyone and said: "My husband and wife are Changxing people, they went to Tianqi Pass to join their relatives, encountered a storm on the road, and got lost in the Gobi for a few days. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Qi Hong.
Qi Hong glanced at Xu Rui and the others a few times with slanted eyes, only to see that Xu Rui and Princess Qixia were covered in injuries, and the coarse linen clothes on their bodies were dirty, but although the inner lining was not clean, it was made of luxurious silk, which was indeed very similar to a noble man in distress.
Thinking of this, everyone's vigilance suddenly disappeared.
Qi Hong said: "The caravan is not at Tianqi Pass, you can go quickly!" β
With that, he turned his horse's head and walked back.
"This strong man!"
Xu Rui hurriedly said: "I know that most of the caravans are not at Tianqi Pass, but my husband and wife have been lost for a few days, if they continue to wander around in this vast Gobi, there is only a dead end, please be kind, I am willing to give each of you a hundred taels of silver as a reward!" β
"What?"
"One hundred taels per person?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and their eyes suddenly became eager when they looked at Xu Rui.
The look on Qi Hong's face also became very exciting, he looked at Xu Rui and said, "Can you really come up with so much money?" β
A trace of shyness flashed on Xu Rui's face, and he muttered: "In this tribulation, although I have a little thin money on my body, I have also lost most of it in the previous sandstorm, but when I return to Tianqi Pass, I will immediately get money from relatives and friends, and I will never break my promise!" β
In fact, Xu Rui didn't lose any money, and one hundred taels per person was just a drizzle for him, but this kind of local wealth is not exposed, if he really shows off his huge amount of money when he meets people, it is forcing others to do it to himself.
When the crowd heard this, they were immediately disappointed.
Qi Hong's face changed, and he sneered: "Wait for you to go back and get the money?" Are you a kidnapper who specializes in human kidnapping, or a three-year-old? In this vast Gobi, no one knows if they can live until tomorrow, and who has the kung fu to wait for you to go back and get the money? β
After speaking, Qi Hong beckoned to everyone, and he was about to really return to the caravan.
"Slow!"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from behind Qi Hong.
When everyone looked back, it was the fat boss who came in a hurry on a vicuΓ±a.
"Big shopkeeper!"
Seven or eight men hurriedly said hello to the boss.
Xu Rui looked at him, he also looked at Xu Rui and the others, and slowly leaned towards Qi Hong's side.
"The next couple is a Changxing family, went to Tianqi Pass to join their relatives, encountered a sandstorm halfway, and has been lost on this Gobi for a few days, may I ask who you are?"
Xu Rui asked the boss with a fist.
Without waiting for the boss to speak, Qi Hong said loudly: "This is the big shopkeeper of the caravan. β
"Despicable surname Pang."
Boss Pang added with a smile.
Xu Rui hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Please also ask Boss Pang to be kind, take in the next couple and thank you for it!" β
The boss next to him smiled: "It's easy to say, it's just that the water source in the caravan is insufficient, and it is indeed difficult to have two more mouths, you have to let me think about it!" β
Xu Rui was overjoyed when he heard this.
Qi Hong, who was on the side, changed his face slightly, and said in a low voice: "Big shopkeeper, do you really want to bring them?" We don't have enough water! β
Boss Pang had the same smile on his face, and whispered to Qi Hong: "Pig brain, you look at that woman!" β
Qi Hong was slightly stunned, and then carefully looked at Princess Qixia beside Xu Rui, only to see that Princess Qixia had beautiful eyebrows and elegant temperament, even if she was dressed so down, she still exuded an indescribable moving charm.
"This woman is handsome, the most rare thing is that she has an extraordinary temperament, far from being comparable to ordinary women, she must be from a famous family, if she dresses up, she is afraid that she is a rare beauty!"
Qi Hong exclaimed quietly.
Boss Pang nodded and said: "That's right, if you can sell this woman to New Territories City, it will be worth more than a thousand taels to say the least, if you go further and sell it to Xiliang, you will meet one or two big customers, three or four thousand taels, or even tens of thousands of taels!" β
"It's a good business!"
Qi Hong suddenly became excited when she heard this, and asked in a low voice, "Then what should I do with this man?" β
Boss Pang smiled: "This man is worthless, he did it!" β
Qi Hong nodded: "Then I'll let the brothers do it!" β
Boss Pang frowned, and hurriedly grabbed Qi Hong's hand and said, "You are stupid, we are not horse bandits, what do you think of other guys doing this?" When we return to the official land, maybe this matter will become a handle in the hands of others! β
"What then?"
Qi Hong was puzzled.
Boss Pang hated the iron and said: "Of course, he deceived people back, quietly poisoned him, and then said that he died of illness, anyway, the epidemic is raging in the Gobi, and no one will investigate it deeply." β
Qi Hong nodded: "You are still clever!" β
Boss Pang said proudly: "Why else am I the shopkeeper?" Learn more! β
"This ...... I don't know if Boss Pang has a charter, in the next ......"
Seeing that Boss Pang had been muttering to Qi Hong, Xu Rui seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and his voice was only promised.
"Stabilize people first!"
Boss Pang glanced at Xu Rui, explained to Qi Hong with a smile, and then said loudly: "Brother Tai, don't worry, Fang is just counting the water and rice in the caravan with his subordinates, and see if it is enough to take you in." β
"I wonder if your caravan has enough rice?"
Xu Rui asked nervously.
Boss Pang was embarrassed: "I won't tell you, the caravan's water source is not sufficient, if there are more of you two, I'm afraid it will be ......."
Xu Rui's face changed: "There are still one hundred taels on the lower body, if your caravan can accept the next couple, you will present the silver ticket now!" β
"Oh?!"
Boss Pang and Qi Hong glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of unexpected joy.
Xu Rui seemed to be afraid that Boss Pang would regret it, so he carefully took out the silver ticket from his arms and raised it in front of him with both hands.
Boss Pang took the silver ticket, a trace of struggle flashed on his face, and finally put the money away.
"That's it, saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, for the sake of God's virtue of a good life, you come with me!"
Boss Pang finally let go, beckoned to Xu Rui and the others, turned his horse's head, and walked towards the caravan.
Xu Rui was overjoyed, but he sneered in his heart: "For the sake of God's virtue of a good life? I think you're looking at the money. β
Princess Qixia followed behind Xu Rui, gently twisted the soft flesh on his waist, and said coquettishly: "Let you be polite, don't show weakness like this, say, are you playing any bad ideas again?" β
Xu Rui said in a low voice: "Didn't you see their eyes rolling on you for a long time?" β
Princess Qixia's cheeks flushed: "Also...... I don't see you standing up for me. β
Xu Rui smiled: "The head will naturally come out, but it depends on whether they are really willing to be good people, let them choose their own path, if something goes wrong afterwards, you can't blame me." β
Princess Qixia glanced at Xu Rui: "I know that you don't have a good heart, so if they really have bad intentions, they won't be able to complain about us." β
Xu Rui and Princess Qixia muttered quietly while following Boss Pang and the others in the direction of the caravan.
Boss Pang glanced at Qi Hong and asked him to go back and make some preparations first.
Qi Hongxin comprehended, clamped the horse's belly, and immediately rushed out of the crowd.
"He will go back and arrange a buddy for you first, there is a radish and a pit in the caravan, and he can't afford to raise idlers, and he has to wronged you to do a job."
Boss Pang said with a smile.
"It should, it should!"
Xu Rui smiled and nodded again and again.
However, Qi Hong had just run out a few steps, and as soon as Xu Rui and Boss Pang looked up, they actually saw him slowly retreating back, and they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"What are you doing when you come back?"
Boss Pang asked in surprise.
Qi Hong pouted behind him with a bitter face.
Xu Rui and Boss Pang looked behind him, only to see a man and a woman walking over with Qi Hong.
The two rode on horses, the male was tall and powerful, and the female was heroic and high-spirited.
"When I came, I said that the safety of the caravan is the responsibility of my brother and sister, and no one wants to sneak into the caravan without the consent of my brother and sister!"
The man and woman stood still not far away, and the woman raised her horsewhip and pointed at Xu Rui and the others, and said coldly.
Xu Rui frowned when he heard this.
Boss Pang's face also turned cold.
