62. The preference of Lord Wang
"Haha, brother's clever plan, so that we can delay time and buy time for our evacuation." Yan Long said, "Do you need to ask the master about this matter?" ”
"No need to ask!" Zhen Yi's voice came from the side, Zhen Yi put his hands behind his back and said, "Xiongtu's move is also for the consideration of my Zhen family, in this way, it will not annoy Yuan Xi, after all, the second son is good, and it can also give us time to relax." ”
"Master, how is it to move in now?" I said.
"By sunset, it should be fine to pack up." Zhen Yi said, "But outside Zhongshan County, thieves are rampant, how should this be?" ”
"The matter of thieves is on me." I laughed and said, "I have a plan." ”
"Since Xiongtu promises, then the old man is also relieved."
At sunset, the moving convoy was ready, and Cheng Biting Jin Pioneer and I, because we were in a hurry to relocate, many large items were abandoned.
At this time, after finishing up, just like a caravan, it set off smoothly, and at this time, there was still a carriage made of eight people hidden in the caravan, which was occupied by the Zhen family's family, so that the matter of the Zhen family's move was turned into a caravan transported together, which was not so conspicuous.
Zhen Yi said to me, "Let's go!" ”
After a day of practice, I didn't dare to say that I would be able to ride a horse, but I had mastered the basics, so the horse began to trot and slowly move forward with the convoy.
We all came to the city gate, but unfortunately, I met Lord Wang, who smiled strangely, and he said, "Master Zhen, it's so late, are you still transporting goods?" ”
"It turned out to be Lord Wang!" Zhen Yi walked over affectionately, and said with a smile, "Yes, there is no way, this batch of goods has to arrive in Li County before noon tomorrow, so I brought most of my subordinates to transport it over." ”
"But Li County is not far away, and it is not very safe to drive at night." Lord Wang squinted his eyes and said.
"This ......" Zhen Yi smiled, and he couldn't speak.
I immediately rode over and said, "Lord Wang, don't you know, that is our great customer, if we do good business with him, a group of our businessmen will have a much better life in the future, and if it rains tomorrow, our affairs will be delayed, so we will leave early, just in case." ”
"I see, I thought Master Zhen was in such a hurry to go to Caidang County Order." Lord Wang said brightly.
Zhen Yi sighed: "Shang Cai is naturally going to go, but not now, he was also born as a businessman, so before going to Shang Cai, I plan to prepare the work at hand, after all, everything must be planned for the future!" ”
Lord Wang nodded: "This is reasonable, the county order said, if you go to deliver the goods, it is better for the official to let the officers and soldiers of Zhongshan escort, forgive those bandits and dare not rob the road of the officers and soldiers, and Xiongtu went back to chat with the county commander, the county order said that he wanted to discuss the general trend of the world with Xiongtu!" ”
Zhen Yi looked at me and said, "Lord Wang, after we finish this matter, how about letting Xiongtu come back and talk to Lord Junling?" ”
Lord Wang was immediately displeased: "Master Zhen, do you want Lord Junling to come and wait for you?" ”
After Lord Wang finished speaking, the atmosphere around him became more tense than ever, and the officers and soldiers around him also looked at us one after another, as if they did not intend to let us go.
And the atmosphere of the carriage convoy was also uneasy, and Cheng Yanjin and Zhen Xiao both looked at me.
I knew that I should be relieved, and with a roll of my eyes, I said, "Lord Wang, would you like to take a step to speak?" ”
"Good!" Lord Wang agreed.
Coming to a secluded place, Lord Wang smiled and said, "Xiongtu, what do you have to say?" ”
I looked at Lord Wang's thief eyebrows, gritted my teeth and prepared to gamble, at this time I just took a reward from Master Zhen, which was also me and Cheng biting gold, a total of fifty taels of silver, in this era of scarcity of materials, this is already a huge amount of money, I said: "Lord Wang, you don't know......"
I took out the silver, and Lord Wang quickly coughed with a look of greed in his eyes.
I said again: "This escort is very important to someone Lin. ”
Saying that, I put the silver in Lord Wang's hand, and pretended to be helpless and said, "Lin someone, since I witnessed the seventh miss of the Zhen family, I can't sleep day and night, and my mind is full of young lady's beauty, and this time the young lady is with me, and I plan to behave well in front of the young lady......
"Yo, it turned out that I fell in love with Miss Zhen, but Miss Zhen is indeed an unborn beauty, I heard that Yuan Xigongzi heard that Miss Zhen is unique, so he came to visit Miss Zhen from hundreds of miles......"
"Yes, of course, I don't dare to snatch Miss from Childe, I just want to be familiar with Miss in front of Miss." I said.
Lord Wang weighed the silver in his hand, shook his head and said, "But this ......"
I secretly said that it was not good, this guy was disgusted that the silver was not enough, so I said: "Wait for me, my lord, I still have a good thing to give to my lord!" ”
Lord Wang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait here." ”
I came to Master Zhen's side and whispered all this in my ear, Master Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Give him the white jade lion in the goods." ”
"Good!"
I took the white jade lion, wrapped it in a piece of cloth, and sent it to Lord Wang's hand, I said: "My lord, not long ago, I had a meritorious role in suppressing bandits, so the lord rewarded me with such a thing, but I am just a rough man, I don't know how much this thing is worth, as the so-called sword with a hero, a beauty accompanies the king, this white jade lion should be invited to drink tea with Lord Wang!" ”
"Oh?! Then this bowl of tea, I want to taste it! Lord Wang's eyebrows fluttered, his expression was wonderful, he waved his hand at me and said, "Go quickly, go early and return early, go and go!" ”
"Yes, Lord Wang, take care!" I smiled slightly and returned to the convoy, and Lord Wang agreed, and we easily went out of the city, and on the official road at night, Zhen Yi scolded: "The Han has fallen to this point now, because of a scoundrel like Lord Wang!" ”
He said angrily: "Actually, the officers and soldiers under his command could have gone to Yangshan to suppress the bandits a long time ago, but the reason for the delay in sending troops was to let the imperial court allocate food and salary!" Now that Xiongtu you and Biting Jin have cut off their financial routes, they will be so aggressive, it's really hateful! ”
His chest rose and fell angrily: "But it's okay, just use the white jade lion of the old man as the purchase fee, hum!" ”
"Father, don't be angry, drink some tea to relieve your sulkness!" Zhen Mi on the side had already built a small stove in the carriage and boiled a pot of hot tea and sent it over.
"Hmmm, hot!" Zhen Yi drank it in a big gulp, but unexpectedly it was hot tea, and coughed violently.
In the distance, I saw a fast horse approaching, it turned out that Yan Long came with the soldiers of Yangshan, but Yan Long looked panicked.
Yan Long said: "Oh no! ”
"What?"
"The few singers I sent failed to delay Yuan Xigongzi, and they were actually rewarded by Yuan Xigongzi to his subordinates!" Yan Long said, "He said he wanted to see Miss Seven!" ”
"This Yuan Xi!" Zhen Yi gritted his teeth and said, "How long is Yuan Xigongzi away from us now?" ”
"Less than seventy miles, they are hurrying over."
"What!" Zhen Yi was taken aback, "We all know Yuan Xi's style, Huang Yuanwai's daughter already had a marriage contract for a while, but she was taken by Yuan Xi as a concubine, Miss Huang refused to give in, but was tied to the willow tree by Yuan Xi and beaten to death, if Mi'er is discovered by Yuan Xi, I am afraid that she will end up with a life worse than death!" Let's hurry! ”
"Yes!" And all the people should make peace, and immediately they should go away.
Our horse team sped up, but the horse team is a horse team after all, how can it compare to a pair of cavalry brought by Yuan Xi, no matter how fast we run, their cavalry without a load has already appeared in the distance with torches.
Seeing Yuan Xi's cavalry, everyone was shocked, and Zhen Mi's face was gloomy: "Can't I escape this fate?" ”
"No, since Yuan Xi is unkind, it is not as righteous as us!" I said.
Zhen Yi was shocked: "Don't do it, Xiongtu, do you know that our territory is all under the Yuan family, if the second son of the Yuan family has a good one, then we will all suffer!" ”
"No, sir, have you forgotten that the land we are walking on now is full of bandits?" I looked at Zhen Yi.
