Gu Changming wanted to say hello, but while Xiao Zheng was dragged by the two in front of them, they first found a place to hide for a while.
Pei Yonglun strode over: "You, yes, and you, walking so slowly is it to delay the trip, let me get in the car." ”
Gu Changming didn't say a word of rebuttal, Pei Yonglun said whatever he wanted, and was taken to the last ten carriages of the team. Pei Yonglun obviously knew that the items in the carriage were different, so he stopped in front of the third car first, pushed Gu Changming and the little phoenix up, grabbed the little gourd from his shoulder, carried it forward, and threw it in front of the seventh car.
Dai Guozi looked at him with horror as an eagle catching a chicken, in the end, it was a man who fought on the battlefield, although the little gourd was like a child, the weight was still there, looking at Pei Yonglun's posture, it was not a problem to carry two of these in one hand.
He was so good at his feet that he sped up and climbed into the carriage and found that there was something inside.
Gu Changming's eyesight is good, and he only needs a glimmer of light from the car door to see the situation in the car clearly. Inside the carriage were six wooden crates, all fastened with brass locks. And the box is placed in a very clever position, leaving a square in the middle, so that two people will not be crowded.
He didn't say a word and sat down on the ground across the box, the little phoenix sat beside him like this, knocked on the wall of the wooden box twice, making a muffled sound, it seemed that it was full of good things, all good things of real money.
She habitually wanted to fiddle with the copper lock again, but Gu Changming held down the back of her hand. Little Phoenix was shocked, some things seemed to have become a part of daily life after a long time, and it was not her intention. She didn't want to open the box and take the sheep by the hand.
When the little phoenix raised his head and looked at Gu Changming with a little panic, he saw that he did not have a trace of anger, but made a silent gesture. Before he could put down his hand, a conversation between Pei Yonglun and Xiao Zheng came from outside the car.
"These carriages are filled with the princess's dowry?" Xiao Zheng said very politely, if you really count it, the guest is as you please. Whether it is the number of people on both sides, or the difference between priority and secondary, he has to give Pei Yonglun three points of face.
"Yes, the gift list is also in my hand, does the envoy want to check it now?" Pei Yonglun's tone was very stiff, Gu Changming cooperated with his previous face-to-face performance, and at this time, he was afraid that he would cross his waist with one hand and stop in front of the carriage with confidence.
Perhaps only such an arrogant force can stop Xiao Zheng, Pei Yonglun has been in the army for a long time, and some ruffians who are difficult to hide can be seen from his behavior of accepting the silver ticket openly.
Xiao Zheng thought that if he was polite, the other party would also be polite, and when the time came, he proposed to get in the car and take a look, which was a matter of course. But Pei Yonglun's words pointed at him, so that he had no way to go on.
The carriage was loaded with the dowry given by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to his daughter, and the privy envoy of the Liao State was not qualified to see it. No matter how much, it's not an outsider's business.
If he really argued over this matter, Xiao Zheng didn't dare to guarantee that he had eyeliner to observe from the side, and when he went back, he would join him and accuse him of not knowing the depths.
"The gift list should be handed over to the Great Liao Emperor by the envoys in person, so as to verify the sincerity of the two countries." Xiao Zheng had the feeling of touching his nose, and said two sentences of what he was listening to, and he didn't insist on getting into the carriage.
Gu Changming slowly let go of the little phoenix's hand, and without waiting for her to explain, he twisted his backhand lightly with skill, the copper lock was like a void, and the wooden box was directly opened.
The little phoenix looked at the open gap in a daze, and almost blurted out, the lock on the box was broken, and I didn't touch it.
"If you want to see it, just open it and take a look, there are no outsiders here." Gu Changming smiled slightly and pushed the wooden box open, the box was full of eight or nine percent, all of them were strings of pearls, almost the size of a little finger, reflecting a soft light in the carriage, "The royal handwriting is really beyond the comparison of ordinary rich families." ”
Little Phoenix knew her previous business better than anyone else, so she was particularly jealous that Gu Changming would suspect that she was not in a hurry when she saw the bulk jewelry. Now seeing that Gu Changming is fine, her heart is slightly relaxed, and her fingers touch those pearls, and the color is excellent.
But one of the chests was already so abundant, and a whole ten carriages should be a lot of wealth.
"Will anyone fight the idea of the third princess to marry?" Little Phoenix roughly thought about it, Gu Changming's intention to open the wooden box was obvious, it should be to verify the body. So they hid in the carriage as well as he expected it in advance?
"There are a lot of people who want these dowries, and they know that it is a hot potato. It won't be more difficult to grab it than to reach the sky, but it's not so simple to sell the stolen goods. Do you still remember the gold bars in the county government of Quyang County? Gu Changming's eyes flashed, "Although it is the collection of Master Sun's official family, in fact, there is no mark on those gold bars, let alone an official seal." ”
The little phoenix finally heard him mention this, and his heart pounded: "So even though you chased the gold bars back, Master Sun still took the blame and resigned." ”
"It's the best thing that he can get out of with his whole body." Gu Changming didn't know how many times Sun Youxiang had done the same thing before the gold bar accident. There is no merit and hard work, and the top boss can be regarded as letting him go, and he did not extinguish his mouth," he decided quickly, and the next day the gold was taken away, and the paperwork of resignation was handed in together. ”
"Will he be in danger in the future?" In the past, Little Phoenix only thought that Sun Youxiang was a good official, and couldn't bear to see his future worrying. Now that she is good friends with everyone, Sun Youxiang is still Dai Guozi's godfather, and the relationship is naturally even more unusual, "The place where he resigned and returned to his hometown can be considered secret?" ”
"No one can say for sure what happened to them, as long as those who have been done have not been uprooted, Sun Youxiang's official position is not big, and his knowledge is limited. Now that he has escaped, there is no need for the other party to kill such a person. Gu Changming closed the wooden box again, "Qi Kunmen will not come to this troubled water, if they want to fight with the official family, they can only kill themselves." ”
"I don't want them to come." Little Phoenix's voice was inaudible, "Although there are many people in the same family who are not good-looking, there are very few real bad people, usually just for money, and there has been no lawsuit against people." ”
Gu Changming believed this. The four people who came to catch the little phoenix a few days ago appeared one after another in a hurry, and none of them were killers, so he caught someone and let them go.
Not only her, but Xiao Hulu also has good friends in the door. No one wants to meet on such an occasion.
Pei Yonglun naturally walked around to the carriage and knocked twice outside: "Is this reluctant to come out, hide inside and whisper?" ”
Little Phoenix had already seen that this person was not bad-eyed, and he was very prejudiced against the Liao people. Come to think of it, the Great Song Dynasty border has been fighting for many years, and most of them are fighting with the Liao State, Pei Yonglun has been in the military camp for several years, and it is an accident that he can laugh casually in front of the Liao people.
"That person seems to have noticed something, you should be careful on weekdays, if it really doesn't work, I'll find another way." Pei Yonglun rolled his eyes in Xiao Zheng's direction, "I thought these barbarians were careless, but I didn't expect this to be so cautious." You see, a hundred taels of silver is not easy to earn. ”
The four of them mixed in the send-off procession and ate two meals together. It's funny, it's obviously a child with a strange face and a small gourd-like shape. Whether it was sharing the meal, or squatting next to the food and snoring, no one came over to ask what was going on?
Dai Guozi couldn't hold his breath more than these people, holding a big bowl, half-squatting, and slowly rubbed to Gu Changming's side, his shoulder touching his shoulder: "I said that they didn't even save us from taking a second look, what the hell is going on?" ”
"The remaining thirty or forty in the family sending team are all Pei Yonglun's people." Gu Changming lowered his head to eat, his tutor was very good, and he originally followed the rule of eating without saying anything. Now that I'm away a lot, I can't take care of so much.
"You mean, these people are all all the way!" Dai Guozi really didn't expect it at all, and nodded with his fingers in surprise to those who lowered their heads to eat.
"Let the hand be down, lest others doubt it." Gu Changming's chopsticks stretched out and hit the back of his hand, "What's the fuss, if it's not for the people all the way, you stuff a few, he stuffs a few." When the time comes, if something happens, how to check! ”
"Since they are all his people, what else is the emperor worried about?" The more Dai Guozi thought about it, the more wrong it became, "What else do you want us to do?" ”
"The emperor doesn't fully believe in Pei Yonglun, and the most important thing is Miss Liu's move. Even if they are all cronies, there are times when they can't be guarded against. After Gu Changming finished saying a few words, he just finished eating the rice in the bowl, stood up and stacked the empty bowls neatly.
Dai Guozi quickly took a few bites with chopsticks, and put the dishes and chopsticks in one place like him: "I suddenly have a feeling that I can sit back and relax." ”
"I just think it's more serious." Gu Changming put one hand behind him, "One loss is lost, if Pei Yonglun wants to make trouble." It's all his people here, and we're all five of us, and Miss Liu is still eight feet away, and it's too late to catch up with the help. ”
"We still have a master like you." Dai Guozi was absolutely convinced of Gu Changming's martial arts.
"Pei Yonglun is also a master." Gu Changming's voice was neither high nor low, and there was definitely no second person around him who looked up at him more. He didn't believe that no one heard them discussing Pei Yonglun, unless it was all deliberate.
"As long as he doesn't go all the way with the Liao, I have no opinion." Dai Guozi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know when Xiaozhu will come to us and tell you about the situation on the third princess's side." ”
At this time, it will soon get dark. Although the journey was quite fast, and it took three or four hours to hurry, it was still within the border of the Great Song Dynasty. The post station officials who stayed had already heard that it was the princess who gave her a wedding, so they vacated the post station and arranged for everyone to settle in with peace of mind.
Dai Guozi originally wanted to squeeze with Gu Changming, but suddenly thought of something, and said with a bend of his eyebrows: "If I don't worry about the little phoenix and the little gourd staying in the same room, he is not a big man, and he should like ......"
Before the words fell, Gu Changming's figure flickered, and no one was seen. Dai Guozi smiled and entered the room, threw himself on the clean bed, folded his hands behind his head and hummed a little song. Not long after, someone knocked on the door twice, pushed the door and entered, it was a small gourd with an unsightly face.
"Kicked out by Gu Changming?" The corner of Dai Guozi's eyes flickered, "Actually, I don't want to live with you much, so don't dislike anyone." ”
Xiao Hulu snorted coldly, fell down on another bed, left his back to him, and said angrily: "The two of them went out and refused to take me." ”
