Chapter 357: Let's eat black
"I feel strange over there, it seems like there's a carriage, a lot of carriages, because I hear the sound of the wheels, and it's very dull, and there must be a lot of stuff on the carriage." Mu Chonglan said in a low voice.
Xiao Xiantang nodded and glanced at Yan Xingsheng beside him.
Yan Xingsheng received the order, and immediately whistled, the whistle sound was an unusual whistling, but a special sound, not very loud, but there is a kind of penetration, if you don't listen carefully, you will mistake it for a bird call, but as long as you are familiar with this sound, you know what this sound represents.
Therefore, soon a man in black appeared in front of Xiao Xiantang, knelt on one knee and reported, things are indeed as Mu Chonglan thought, there is a carriage team, the carriage seems to be carrying some salted fish and dried seafood on the surface, but in fact, judging from the traces of the road that the wheels have crushed, it is definitely not so simple, so they led the guard away again, looked quietly, and found that there was salt inside.
"Selling smuggled salt, that's a head-scratching thing." Mu Chonglan whispered.
Xiao Xiantang nodded: "Yes, but if you don't get caught, it's nothing." ”
"There is not much salt in the salt drying field, and I didn't expect that there would be people who sell the salt privately." Mu Chonglan pursed her lips, thought for a while, and then said to Xiao Xiantang with some excitement: "Otherwise, let's eat black and eat black." ”
As soon as Mu Chonglan's words came out, Xiao Xiantang and Yan Xingsheng, and even the other shadow guards all looked at Mu Chonglan, after all, as the daughter of Mu Chonglan's official family, she should never say this.
"Ahem, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Xiantang coughed, it seemed to be a reprimand, but it didn't mean harsh, but it tasted a little conniving.
Since taking Mu Chonglan on the rivers and lakes, many of Mu Chonglan's behaviors have changed slightly, and he is not as squeamish as before.
Moreover, there is also Su Chengmo, a complete heroine in the rivers and lakes, Mu Chonglan just wants to return to the appearance of that lady, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
What's more, he actually doesn't hate Mu Chonglan's current appearance so much, Mu Chonglan's attraction to him is his frank temperament, a girl in fresh clothes and angry horses, is Mu Chonglan's initial impression on him, on the contrary, Mu Chonglan's previous coy posture in order to pursue him, pretending to be virtuous and virtuous, is what really annoys him.
The people around him are mostly complicated, if even the person opposite him day and night is also like this, one set on the surface, one behind the other, he might as well be alone, at least he doesn't have to worry about sleeping until midnight and being stabbed in the back.
"Xiao Xiantang, you are very short of silver, right, they also earned ill-gotten gains, we confiscated their ill-gotten gains, and then we can give porridge to the people, which can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people, right?" Mu Chonglan shook her head and pulled Xiao Xiantang to persuade her, when she went to the salt drying field, she actually thought about selling salt, because it was very profitable, but she also knew that if she didn't sell smuggled salt, she would lose her head, so she didn't dare at all.
It's different now, people have sent it to the door, and they are black at best.
Xiao Xiantang looked at Mu Chonglan's appearance that he couldn't go to the black immediately, and finally nodded. "This is the only time, not the next one."
After receiving the promise, Mu Chonglan became excited, they did not continue to ride the carriage, but left a shadow guard to guard the carriage, and the rest of the people went together with light skills, and soon, they arrived at their destination.
However, what made Mu Chonglan strange was that there were more than a dozen carriages here, but there was no one of them, which was a little weird no matter how you looked at it.
"Were they scared away?" Mu Chonglan looked at Xiao Xiantang beside him with some horror, for fear that Xiao Xiantang would say something strange, such as ghosts, monsters, or something.
However, Xiao Xiantang was not as boring as she thought, and would scare her with these ghosts and monsters, he just stretched out his jade-like hand and stroked her head soothingly, "Probably." ”
"Really?"
"Hmm."
"Xiao Xiantang, you won't let people kill them all, right?" Mu Chonglan asked casually.
Xiao Xiantang lightly "um" again.
Qin Liang's fingertips, coupled with a faint "um", suddenly made Mu Chonglan's hair stand on end, and his eyes stared at Xiao Xiantang.
"I'm kidding." Xiao Xiantang suddenly laughed.
"It's not funny at all." Mu Chonglan muttered.
"If it's not funny, it's better not to laugh." Xiao Xiantang hooked the corners of his mouth, rubbed Mu Chonglan's hair a little helplessly, and then instructed Yan Xingsheng and them to check around, if there was anything wrong, if there was nothing wrong, notify someone to take the things away.
And hinted that if something is found to be wrong, there is no need to leave a living mouth.
In fact, generally speaking, as long as he doesn't commit anything in Xiao Xiantang's hands, he really won't waste that effort to eradicate anyone, after all, this kind of thing is a waste of time, and the other is to take the risk of being discovered, so many times, Xiao Xiantang is better than one less thing, so as not to involve too much and lead to his own secrets.
However, like such a strange thing today, he felt that it was more reassuring to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, otherwise it would be a hot potato if he took this thing, but he couldn't say it clearly, and he couldn't let Mu Chonglan know.
In Xiao Xiantang's opinion, although Mu Chonglan has just entered the rivers and lakes at this time, and she also knows a little about court affairs, her acceptance of many things is actually not high, for example, she still has to be merciful in everything, and she doesn't understand what it means to be "Man is the blade, or I am the blade, I have to choose one".
Subsequently, Xiao Xiantang asked the freight to leave, and then took Mu Chonglan out of the place of the incident, and the two took a carriage and soon came to the coast.
"You've put all the people at sea?" Mu Chonglan looked at the shore and found that he didn't see anything, so he guessed that Xiao Xiantang should have hidden everyone on the island in the sea.
Xiao Xiantang let out a soft "um", and then pulled Mu Chonglan to step on a small boat, the two of them took a small boat, followed by several small boats, and the group of people passed through the reef like this.
Mu Chonglan saw the unclear sea around her, lying on the bow of the boat, bored with the sea, suddenly she remembered something, so she released the scavenging bees she hid in the special gourd, wanting them to collect food by themselves, after all, these little guys' appetite is getting bigger and bigger, she actually can't afford to raise it, not to mention that there are no outsiders here, so let them find a good opportunity to eat, naturally can't let it go.
However, the scavenging bees just flew around Mu Chonglan for a while, and then they hid back in the gourd, which made Mu Chonglan very strange, patted the gourd, turned his head and wanted to ask Xiao Xiantang, what was going on with these scavenging bees, but saw Xiao Xiantang standing at the stern of the boat standing on his back, and the stars in the sky behind him quickly rotated and changed.
