Chapter 41: I'm Running Away
"Got an enemy? Or dodging debts? Ma Licheng asked.
Mo Li hesitated for a moment, sighed and said, "Alas, it's not, it's the parents who forced the marriage, and there is no choice but to escape." However, he has never gone out alone, and he is afraid that the road will be inconvenient, so he ......"
Yu Mingxi looked Mo Li up and down and said, "The person Li Gongzi said can't be Your Excellency, right?" ”
Mo Li smiled bitterly and nodded: "Let the two of you see it, it's down." There is no way to do it. But I really don't want to ruin my lifelong happiness like this. ”
Ma Licheng twitched the corners of his mouth and said: "It's a good thing to marry a daughter-in-law, even if Gongzi Li doesn't like each other, it's a big deal to take a few more concubines in the future, why worry about being like this." ”
"You don't know." Mo Li's bitter gourd face was almost dripping, "The other party's family is a rich man, the family has thousands of acres of fertile land, and there is a young master who is a lifter, and that young lady is said to be very strong." In the future, let alone taking concubines, even I will have to be subject to her. ”
Yu Mingxi looked at Mo Li with interest: "Isn't it just to escort Li Gongzi to five hundred miles away, it's not a difficult task." We took the dart. ”
"Young Master......" Ma Licheng just wanted to say something, Yu Mingxi raised his hand slightly: "Uncle Cheng don't worry, see that this Li Gongzi is also a loyal person, and he will not fall into our injustice." ”
Mo Li nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, you two, I just want to leave Ding'an City as soon as possible and go to a place where they can't find it, and I will never say to anyone that the Gui Dart Bureau sent me out, and I will not make any trouble for the Gui Dart Bureau." ”
"When does Li Gongzi want to leave?" Yu Mingxi asked.
"The sooner the better, of course." Mo Li said, "I just don't know the price......?" ”
"Originally, escorting individuals is nothing, but in the case of Li Gongzi, we still have to take a certain risk." Yu Mingxi said indifferently, "That's it, two hundred taels of silver, we will send Gongzi to the place where he wants to go." ”
"Two hundred taels?" Mo Li's heart was dripping blood, she now had less than four hundred taels of silver in total, but when she thought of leaving Ding'an City as soon as possible, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Is two hundred taels all the expenses?" Including meals and accommodation? ”
"That's nature." Yu Mingxi nodded, "It also includes the whereabouts of the hidden son, this price is not high." ”
"Okay," Mo Li bit her lower lip with determination, "but every time I go out, a grandmother will follow me, you have to help me get rid of her, and I can't let her find out that I'm missing soon, otherwise it will be troublesome when I go home and report the news." ”
"Don't worry, Master Li." Yu Mingxi said disapprerovingly, "These two hundred taels of silver are not collected for nothing, everything is wrapped up in us." Li Gongzi only needs to tell us when to leave. ”
"Hmm...... Of course, the sooner the better, if you can go now. Mo Li thought for a moment and said.
"It's too late, we still have to do some preparations." Yu Mingxi replied, "We have already handed over this dart yesterday, and we wanted to rest for two days, since Li Gongzi is in a hurry, let's leave tomorrow." Childe only needs to go out as usual, and we will meet here, so there will naturally be a way to take Childe away at that time. ”
"Okay, okay, then please two of you." Mo Li looked at Yu Mingxi eagerly and said, "Tomorrow I come here for tea, and that grandma will be waiting outside the door." But we have to say in advance that you can't hurt her. ”
"Rest assured, it's not our dart game that hurts people and kills." Yu Mingxi got up and clenched his fists, "Since that's the case, let's go back and prepare first, and come over to pick up Gongzi at this time tomorrow." Leave! ”
Mo Li hurriedly stood up and returned the salute: "I won't send the two, Mama is outside the door, and it will be broken when she sees it." ”
Looking at the backs of Yu Mingxi and Ma Licheng leaving, Mo Li breathed a sigh of relief, this time he could be regarded as gambling himself in, hoping to successfully leave Ding'an City. After a few sips of tea and another piece of dim sum, there was a sudden sound of gongs on the street, "King Jin has entered the city!" The people in the tea shop began to flock to the window in a noisy manner.
Mo Li also stood up and followed the crowd to look out. I saw a team of guards in armor holding spears neatly walking by, behind is a luxurious carriage, presumably sitting in it is Zhong Hanchi, the king of Jin, and then behind is a high-headed horse with black and shiny fur, the person on the horse is wearing black armor, his face is cold, and he slowly moves forward without squinting, it is Murong Chu who is riding an oolong horse. Behind him were several lieutenants of the Great Zhou army and officials of Ding'an City, as well as the guards.
The moment he saw Murong Chu, Mo Li reflexively shrunk his neck and quickly retreated into the crowd. Murong Chu kept looking ahead when he passed by the tea shop, his gaze moved slightly to the side, and then quickly returned to normal and continued to move forward.
Mo Li returned to his table and sat down, took a sip of tea, and calmed his accelerated heartbeat. I secretly scolded myself in my heart, why is he so cowardly, isn't it just that Murong Chu passed by here, even if he looks at himself, what can he do! I'm really a thief, phew, I'm not a thief!
When King Jin's convoy passed and the street returned to normal order, Mo Li left the tea shop and returned to Taishou Mansion, and when he left, he gave the man a silver ticket of ten taels, and the man was so happy that his mouth was grinning to the root of his ears, and he sent her out of the door with sixteen teeth.
On this day, Murong Chu did not show up, nor did he send anyone to pass the word, and Mo Li's heart settled down a little. After dinner, Mama He was sent to bed, and she counted and counted all her money and sighed. All the silver tickets plus the gold leaves given by Murong Chu, and then gathered the scattered silver, with a total value of three hundred and sixty-five taels. After giving Yu Mingxi two hundred taels tomorrow, there will be one hundred and sixty-five taels left, and it is impossible to buy a house, so you can only use the money to find a place to settle down first, and then find a way to do some small business.
But the most important question to be solved at the moment is where she should go. When she came to this world, she spent the longest time in the barracks except for that mountain. I followed the army all the way to the northwest, and I didn't know anything else. The place names here are different from the previous life, so it seems that you can only follow Yu Mingxi to the southeast first, and it is best to find a place similar to Jiangnan.
After a night of cranky thinking, the next morning, Mo Li got up very early. After practicing boxing in the courtyard for a while, I feel that my body has recovered well recently, and my physical strength is almost the same as before.
Murong Chu still didn't have any news coming, not even Mu Qingyun came. Mo Li had breakfast, held a book in the room and thought about it for a while, and then went out again.
Mama He sighed: "Childe, King Jin has entered the city yesterday, there must be many officers and soldiers on the street today, according to the slave maid, it's better not to go out." ”
Mo Li squeezed out a smile: "It's interesting to drink tea in the tea shop for the past two days, and listen to those guests chatting." I'll go sit there for a while and come back. ”
