Chapter 301: I'm at ease
Zeng Qingfeng clasped his fists and saluted: "Big brother, don't come here for a long time!" ”
Linghu Subai patted Zeng Qingfeng's shoulder, hugged him and said happily: "Brother Yi, I haven't seen you for many days, and I have become more and more energetic, this time you have made a lot of contributions to the successful suppression of bandits!" ”
"The eldest brother has an overreputation, Qingfeng just did what a courtier should do." Zeng Qingfeng said modestly.
Linghu Subai sighed and said: "I didn't expect that this reunion between you and my brother would be in the grassland, and I feel guilty for not being able to find my brother and sister in time because of my brother's responsibility!" ”
Qingfeng comforted: "Big brother doesn't need to blame himself, Xiuxiu's matter must be her own naughty and willful, in the end, she slipped away under my nose, even if I want to blame, I blame myself for not taking good care of her." ”
Linghu Subai added: "Originally, we had already found our younger siblings, but my younger siblings insisted on coming to the grassland to treat a princess, and I was careless, and I couldn't resist her persuasion and agreed to her to come to the grassland, so I caused so many incidents." ”
Qingfeng nodded: "I finally figured out the purpose of her coming to the grassland, I understand Xiuxiu's temper, she decided that a few cows can't be pulled back, and you can't blame the eldest brother for this." ”
Linghu Subai sighed and said: "When my brother and sister set off, I sent the Wind and Clear Water Helmsman and the Fog Helm Lord Ye Layer Ran to lead dozens of masters to protect my brother and sister, and now there is no news from the Wind and Clear Water Helm Master, I don't know what happened?" ”
Zeng Qingfeng glanced at Nalaba and his party and said, "I'm afraid I have to ask the brother opposite." ”
Linghu Subai glanced at Nalaba carefully and said, "Oh, I've seen you, you are one of the people who were with your younger siblings before. Tell me, where did my brother and sister go? ”
Naraba frowned and said, "We are also looking for Miss Pei, but there is no whereabouts at all." ”
"Tell me, then, where have our people gone? You should know that, right? Linghu Subai asked.
Nalaba was ruthless and replied coldly: "No comment! ”
"Oh?" The corners of Ling Hu Subai's mouth twitched: "Since this is the case, I have to fight." ”
As the two sides were tense, a horse galloped in.
A man got off his horse, knelt down in front of Nalaba and said, "Oh no, something has happened to the Ullebu!" Last night, Yu Zhenbu and other forces attacked our base camp, and the leader also rushed over from Minzi Mountain with the Sunset Clan, let's go back quickly! ”
Naraba's face turned pale with fright, and he led the crowd to hurry towards the Uleb.
Zeng Qingfeng and Linghu Subai and his party did not block their way, but just watched them straddle their horses and leave.
Zeng Qingfeng retracted his gaze and said, "Big brother, I suggest sending some of our people to follow them to the Wule Department to find out how the situation is?" ”
"Well, it's necessary." Linghu Subai immediately sent six or seven masters to quietly follow.
Zeng Qingfeng said: "The grassland soldiers are not peaceful at the moment, and I don't know where Xiuxiu's girl went?" Ay! It's a headache! ”
“
The younger brother doesn't need to worry too much, although the vast grassland is big, I think that since the younger brother and sister can escape from the Wule Department on their own, they must have the ability to protect themselves. ”
Zeng Qingfeng said distressedly: "I don't know what happened to her cold poison?" How can I not be worried? ”
"Well, where are we going to find our siblings without further ado?"
"I guess Xiuxiu's route back to the Central Plains will inevitably pass through the Yin Mountain Valley, where they have been there for a while before, so they are more familiar with the situation there. Second, most people who return to the Central Plains from the grassland will choose to pass through the Yinshan Valley, because there are not only many post stations along the way, but also many business trips to the Central Plains from the south to the north, which is a convenient road. ”
Ling Hu Subai showed an approving gaze and exclaimed, "Brother, how could you know so much?" This is very reasonable, we will set off now to wait for our younger siblings in Yinshangou. ”
Zeng Qingfeng nodded and said, "Well, time is pressing, let's go." ”
Just when everyone was anxious to find Pei Xiuxiu, the heroine Pei Xiuxiu changed into men's clothes and appeared in Tutu City generously.
After the plan to disguise herself as a mute girl and infiltrate the family sending team failed, Pei Xiuxiu changed her strategy in time and continued to set off single-handedly.
Along the way, except for meeting the groom that made her heart tremble, the rest of the setbacks were nothing more than too much wind and sand, too strong ultraviolet rays, almost tanned skin, and so on.
Compared with the top priority such as life, the others are all trivial things that are not worth mentioning, so I won't go into detail here.
In other words, Tutu City is really a good place to be rich.
The bazaar is full of people, walking the streets, trading livestock, and selling jewelry.
Not to mention anything else, the smell of the kebabs on the street alone is enough to hook Xiuxiu to go out every day.
During this period, Xiuxiu, who enjoys freedom, is about to fly happily.
After eating thirty skewers of lamb skewers, Pei Xiuxiu regretted and said: "No, if you eat it like this, you will become a big fat man, what if Brother Qingfeng can't recognize me at that time?" ”
Pei Xiuxiu pinched the fat on her waist that was a few inches thicker in a few days, and decided to go back to the post station to sleep after walking around again.
Unconsciously, Pei Xiuxiu came to a relatively quiet street, which was lined with vendors selling jewelry stalls.
Jadeite, agate, jade, gold jewelry, and exquisite daggers are all available, and Pei Xiuxiu can't help but be overjoyed.
"There shouldn't be any fakes in this era, right?" Pei Xiuxiu's eyes lit up and smiled happily: "If you go back to some genuine jade, it is indeed very collectible, and maybe it will become an heirloom in N years." ”
Pei Xiuxiu thought for a while: "But who am I passing it on?" I can't even give birth to a baby with cold poison in my body, not to mention that if Master fails to develop an antidote to my cold poison within seven years, won't I die with a whimper? Alas! ”
Just as she sighed, a kind-faced little brother sneakily patted Xiuxiu on the shoulder and motioned for her to come with him.
Pei Xiuxiu followed inexplicably, and look
Look at what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.
The little brother looked around for a while, took out a bag of jewelry from his arms and said, "Look at the dress, the little brother is from the Central Plains?" ”
Pei Xiuxiu nodded and said, "Exactly, what are you doing?" ”
The man whispered mysteriously: "Look at you are a person of fate, I have a bag of good things here for you to see." ”
As soon as the package was opened, I saw that there were four or five pieces of crystal clear jade, two or three pairs of fine jade jade bracelets, and gold hairpins, silver ornaments, beads, etc. made of gold jewelry.
The man saw Xiuxiu's eyes glowing and was very moved, so he asked, "Does the little brother have a fancy?" Give a price, and the baby will be yours. ”
Pei Xiuxiu covered her mouth and smiled and said: "The thing is good, how can it come from an unknown source, in case it is stolen by bandits, if I buy it, will it be a mistake?" ”
The man laughed a few times and said, "The little brother thought really carefully, and he really didn't hide that these treasures were indeed treasures stolen from the city lord's house in Tutu City by friends on the road. I don't look at you as a native of the Central Plains, and you look like you're dressed like a rich man, that's why I came to you. Anyway, you people who do business will go back to the Central Plains and sell them at a high price, and it doesn't matter where the baby comes from, whether it's clean or not. ”
Pei Xiuxiu lowered her head and said with a smile: "Having said that, how can I go out in a hurry, and the silver taels I bring are limited, I'm afraid I won't be blessed to have these treasures." ”
"Well, I'll go with you to the post where you are going to get it, do you think it's okay?"
"And how much are you going to sell me?"
"If you don't say anything, you get a thousand taels."
"Grab money? Then I don't want it! ”
"Don't don't, don't, if you have something to say, how about it, I won't offer you a price, give you a minimum of eight hundred taels."
Pei Xiuxiu stretched out four fingers and said, "Four hundred taels is not more, one point is not less." ”
The man complained in frustration: "This is also too little, isn't it?" Just four hundred taels? I'm worth a few hundred taels of bracelets alone, right? ”
"Too little?" Pei Xiuxiu raised her eyebrows and said, "Then you go find someone else to buy it." ”
After speaking, Pei Xiuxiu turned around and wanted to leave.
The other party stopped in front and said, "Don't, don't, let's do it for five hundred taels, and I won't sell it if it's one tael less." ”
Pei Xiuxiu pondered for a while before agreeing: "Okay, deal, let me get it." ”
Half an hour later, in the guest room of the post station, Pei Xiuxiu touched a bunch of treasures on the table and happily closed her mouth: "Wow! It's so cost-effective, it's like taking it for nothing! Not to mention that the things here are at least worth a few thousand taels, this profitable transaction is too worthwhile, and it is rich and rich. ”
When he heard the man say that the treasure came from the mansion of the leader of Tutu City, Pei Xiuxiu concluded that the thing was definitely a good thing. Seeing that the man looked nervous and glanced at the gambling house across the street many times, Pei Xiuxiu judged that this person's gambling habit was a manifestation of gambling addiction.
So Pei Xiuxiu deliberately lowered the price, but she didn't expect it to succeed.
For a person who is addicted to gambling, it is his most important thing to get into gambling as soon as possible, so he will not care about stealing
How much is something really worth.
Pei Xiuxiu suddenly remembered the boxes of gold and Hetian jade that Wu Yafu gave her, and sighed with regret on her face: "Alas! When I ran away, I had no choice but to go in too haste, and my treasures were just like that! Alas! ”
Squander? What international jokes?
Even in the most difficult escape moments, Pei Xiuxiu never forgot her baby, otherwise she would not be called Pei Xiuxiu, in summary words, she is an authentic little wealth fan.
Although the things that could be taken under the circumstances at that time were indeed limited, Pei Xiuxiu still picked dozens of the best Hetian jade and brought them out.
If she had to keep proof, these treasures would be in her baggage right now. Along with her lifesaver, the entire set of silver needles and jade sha were all put together.
As the saying goes, "Money is not everything, but no money is impossible." ”
For example, Pei Xiuxiu, who has now regained herself, if she doesn't have money, can she eat, drink and have fun so freely? The answer is no.
"This Tutu City is such a good place! I was a little reluctant to leave. It's not too late for me to go shopping for some treasures another day, and then go back to the Yin Mountain Valley. Pei Xiuxiu said to herself.
