Chapter 138: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
From the conversation just now, Zhu'er probably guessed in her heart that it was this doctor who took in Tao Mingxi and them, and she also had a good impression of him in her heart, and was about to open her mouth to explain to the other party, but was stopped by Tao Mingxi, who spoke before her,
"There is a person in our group who is not very conscious, and he often suddenly goes crazy when he is not aware of it, and beats everyone around him all over his body, which is extremely dangerous, so he wants to buy some cartilage powder so that he can't do evil."
"I see." The man nodded with a clear face, then rummaged through the medicine cabinet, and finally took out a white bottle and handed it over, "Then I'll sell you a bottle, remember to use it in moderation, otherwise I am afraid it will cause damage to the body." ”
"Thank you." Tao Mingxi nodded, turned around and asked Zhu'er to give the other party a few taels of silver, and went to invite two strong men to carry the injured coachman back to the inn where they were.
……
In the inn.
The coachman had already come to his senses, and when he saw Tao Mingxi, his attitude towards her was ten million times better than before, and he kept thanking her, "Miss! Thanks to you, I was able to get out of danger this time! In the future, my life will be yours, and if you have anything to command, the villain will definitely go to the soup and fire, and he will ......not give up."
Tao Mingxi looked embarrassed when he heard this, stretched out his hand to stop the other party, and said, "It's not as serious as you said, and besides, you fell down because you wanted to protect us, so we naturally can't let you go." ”
"No, miss! The grace of saving lives is greater than anything else! The man said resolutely, it was easy to defect directly on Xue Ziyao's side, and said, "From now on, I, Xiaoliu, will be sent by you." ”
"Whatever you want." Tao Mingxi really couldn't say anything about the other party, looking at his very excited appearance, he was even more helpless in his heart, and he didn't say anything more, just silently wrote down the other party's name, "You take care of your injuries, I'll go out first." ”
It seems that she has never taken the initiative to ask the other party, and if he doesn't say it today, I'm afraid she won't know in the future!
I went to see Xiao Ran and them, and after confirming that there was nothing special about the three of them, I put my mind at ease and went down to eat.
The inn has always been the most convenient place to listen to gossip, even if you don't have the heart to listen, those words will involuntarily pour into your ears, because what is said is too unscrupulous.
For example, now, Tao Mingxi is forced to listen to other people's whispers again, and two tall men sitting at the next table are close to their faces, saying "whispers" without lowering their volume at all.
"Have you heard? Didn't the emperor send a prince down to deal with the flood on our side? I heard that the prince had arrived yesterday! The next step is to start working on water control, and I don't know if it will work. The man said, with a look of excitement on his face.
"Of course I know! And as far as I know, that prince was recommended by the ministers, and it is rumored that he is a very capable person! If he had come, the flood problem might have been solved. ”
The other person took over and spoke excitedly.
Tao Mingxi's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, Lord Wang? Flood control? It shouldn't be Xing Tianze, right?
Tao Mingxi originally wanted to comfort himself with the reason that "there are so many princes from it, not necessarily him", but he suddenly thought of what Xing Tianze had said to him.
He did say what county he was going to, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now he remembers......
Huailing County!
It's really a narrow road.
Helplessly thinking in her heart, she can even run away to the place where the other party is, she is really unlucky enough, then it seems that she has to arrange to leave here quickly! If it is found at that time...... All her previous efforts had been in vain.
The injuries on Xiaoyanagi's body are very serious, and I am afraid that he will not be able to recover if he does not recuperate for more than a month! Then we can only leave the person here first, prepare some money for him, and find two people to take care of him, and then come and join them when the injury is healed.
"Not necessarily! This is not the first time that the imperial court has sent someone down, the so-called third prince who came last time looked very capable, and in the end he didn't mess things up? The man over there continued, but there was a hint of suspicion in his tone.
Tao Mingxi didn't have the heart to continue listening, and then took a few more bites of food, and went upstairs directly to the room.
"Go and prepare, we'll leave Huailing tomorrow." Walking upstairs, Tao Mingxi looked down at Xiao Ran, and hurriedly spoke.
"Huh? Why? "Xiao Ran's face is full of confusion, they just came to this place, and they originally wanted to take this opportunity to have a good time! Why did you leave so quickly?
A few people next to him also showed surprised eyes, although they didn't go to the place they originally planned, they didn't leave in such a hurry!
Tao Mingxi roughly explained the situation to them, and then told the other party his plans, and then added: "Without further ado! We have to make arrangements for us to leave the city early tomorrow morning. ”
“…… Good. Xiao Ran was also a little surprised when she heard the news, and nodded hesitantly.
"Miss, it's rare for us to come here! I just heard from those people below that there are still a lot of interesting places in Huailing County! Yu'er said excitedly, there is still one day, and it is a pity to waste it in the inn like this.
Seeing the other party's look of expectation, Tao Mingxi couldn't bear to refuse, and nodded slightly, "It's okay." ”
"Great!" The two little girls were so excited that they almost didn't jump up, Tao Mingxi didn't plan to go with them, but they were still ripped away after being soft and hard.
I don't know if it's because of the floods here or the county town is too desolate, and the streets are not very lively, but the things on the stalls are very strange and full of local characteristics, so the excitement of the two little girls has always continued.
Tao Mingxi accompanied them crazy all morning, and he was really a little lacking in interest, so he left them behind and planned to go to the teahouse to rest.
As soon as I walked into the teahouse, I saw a familiar figure not far away, and my face changed instantly!
Xing Tianze! Is this the narrow road of the legendary enemy?
There was a panic in her heart, thinking of the consequences of being caught by the other party, she quickly hid behind a pillar and stood nervously, eager to shrink herself into a ball and burrow into the hole!
Fortunately, she was standing in an inconspicuous place, and no one noticed, she cautiously glanced in the direction of Xing Tianze, and saw that the other party did not look over here, which was a sigh of relief.
