Chapter 299: Out of the City
Gu Jinfeng asked the shopkeeper for the route and then took her to the coachman, and as soon as he arrived, he saw a lot of people standing at the gate of the post station, men, women and children were anxious.
As soon as Qi Ling saw such a scene, his heart tightened suddenly, looking at the scene...... Could it be that I really can't get out of the city today?
The coachman who was surrounded by people in the middle was an old man, and his face was full of impatience at the moment, "I said, this is an order from Lord Taishou, and I can't leave this car today!" I've returned all the money to you, so don't be embarrassed for me! ”
"My position was decided a few days ago, and now my relative is seriously ill, which is a big deal! You said you wouldn't leave if you didn't leave, what do you want me to do?! ”
"That's right! Which of the people here is not in a hurry? Now that the city is forbidden for some reason, what should I do! ”
The old man said helplessly, "It's useless for you to urge me here, now the officers and soldiers guarding the door don't go out in the car, you better find another way." ”
Qi Ling tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "What should I do, it seems that I really can't get out......"
Gu Jinfeng said, "I'll go up and ask, don't walk around here, wait for me to come back." ”
"Well, you can go."
After he left, Qi Ling looked around, and he really complained in his heart, this is too defensive and too domineering, right? Saying that the city is closed is the city, it really doesn't give the people a way to live at all, what if people happen to have something important?
was lowering his head and pondering, but a familiar voice suddenly came from his ear, "Old man Ding, I've sent something!" ”
She looked for a voice with some curiosity, and saw a man in simple clothes shouting at the courtyard with a basket in his hand, she looked at him carefully, the more she looked at it, the more familiar it became, and suddenly remembered that this person was not the Chen Shu who broke into her room yesterday?!
"Hey, why are you here now!" Old man Ding, that is, the coachman, pushed away the questions of several people, and walked out in a hurry, Chen Shu smiled hesitantly, "It's not that I overslept late last night, I will pay attention next time!" ”
Old man Ding checked the contents of the basket and nodded with satisfaction, "The things are good, then don't forget them later!" ”
"Don't worry, how can you forget what you promised."
"How much silver?"
"This duck egg is the best one raised by the family, and it is the best for raising the body, a total of 700 Wen." Chen Shu smiled brightly, and Old Man Ding said 'um', "Then you wait here, I'll go in and get the money." ”
"Hey, Howler!"
After Old Man Ding went in with his things, Qi Ling quietly leaned over, and after getting closer, he patted him on the shoulder vigorously, almost jumping up in fright, and when he turned around, he was a little surprised to find that it was a girl.
"This girl, ...... are you?"
Qi Ling snorted, "It seems that I haven't eaten enough of yesterday's fists?" Forgot so quickly? ”
Chen Shu's eyes widened suddenly, pointing at Qi Ling, and he stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence: "You... You were yesterday... That ......"
"Hey, don't worry, I'm not here to trouble you today." Qi Ling clasped his hands on his chest and looked scrutinizing: "Are you very familiar with this old man Ding?" ”
Chen Shu took a few steps back vigilantly, "It's okay, he often buys something from me...... What do you want to do? ”
"What are you afraid of, now this is too guarded and the city is only allowed to enter and not let ...... out" said this, Qi Ling's voice suddenly lowered a little, and there was a hint of threat in his tone, "If it weren't for you, I would have gone out of the city a long time ago, you said that if I let me tell ...... about last night."
Chen Shu immediately panicked, "Don't, don't! Let's have something to say, don't just ...... You're going out of town? That's easy to say! I can take me out of town! ”
After Gu Jinfeng's inquiry came back to no avail, he saw Qi Ling running over with a smug face, and took his hand, "You come with me!" ”
“??” His face was full of question marks, and after seeing Chen Shu who was cowering on the side, his face burst out with murderous aura.
"Why are you here?!"
Chen Shu said that he was very aggrieved: "You think I want to be here, it's not because of ...... Forget it, you're going out of town, aren't you? ”
Gu Jinfeng narrowed his eyes, "Do you know how to get out?" ”
He sneered, "What do you say about locking down the city, in fact, you want money, as long as you have money for those soldiers who defend the city, don't you come and go freely?" ”
"It just so happens that two of them are known to me today, just say hello and give some silver, and guarantee that you will go out in minutes."
"But I heard you're going to Wanshui Town, right?" Chen Shu rolled his eyes, "There is no carriage to go outside, and it will take a day and a night to walk from Wanshui Town here, can you think about it?" ”
Qi Ling interjected, "Of course I thought about it, if we can get out as soon as possible, we can go out quickly, if it is sealed for several days, then wouldn't we have made a mistake?" ”
"Nacheng, you will follow me later, and make sure you can get out." Chen Shu was confident, but Gu Jinfeng on the side suddenly said, "Slow." ”
Chen Shu was still a little scared of him, and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Gu Jinfeng took out the money bag from his sleeve, "Since you can get people out, then it's okay to use a carriage, right?" ”
As he spoke, he threw the money bag to him, "There are thirty taels here, and you will not be allowed to work in vain, and the rest of the money from the carriage will be regarded as your reward." ”
Chen Shu hurriedly took the heavy money bag, and his face was embarrassed, "Your requirements are too high, and such a big object as the carriage is easy to attract attention......"
"Would you like to change to a horse?" He haggled cautiously.
Gu Jinfeng looked at Qi Ling on the side, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”
The latter joked with a sad face "I won't ......", her family background is average, and it is good to have a donkey to drive, but she hasn't even learned a driver's license until now, and riding a horse or something is too far away, right?
"Then a horse, and buy some dry food and water."
Chen Shu hurriedly nodded, "Okay, then I'll go!" After speaking, he ran away with the money bag, Qi Ling was a little stunned, "You're not afraid that he will run away with the money?" ”
Gu Jinfeng chuckled, "Don't worry, he won't dare." ”
About half an hour later, Qi Ling was about to yawn, and Chen Shu was late on horseback.
He threw a package to Gu Jinfeng, panting slightly, "Here are some dough cakes and water, this horse is also just fed, to ensure health!" ”
After saying that, he dismounted and asked him to come forward to check, Gu Jinfeng checked that there was no problem with the horses and supplies, so the next thing was how to get out of the city.
Chen Shu said, "Wait a minute, you will go to the south gate, just now when I finished buying a horse, I passed by there to take a look, and found that there are few people there, it happens to be my two friends guarding the door, when the time comes, you will go out secretly, I will go around from another place, and then send the horse to you." ”
Now he can only come according to his plan, and when Qi Ling and the two came to the south gate, they found that the eldest brother who guarded the door here was the one who took over his butcher's shop yesterday... That's a coincidence.
Chen Shu went up to negotiate first, secretly stuffed some silver, and talked together for a long time, Qi Ling was a little nervous, if there was anything temporary......
Just when she was worried, Chen Shu came back and asked, "My brother said that it's okay to let you out, so I asked if the butcher shop that was sent yesterday is still there?" ”
Qi Ling hurriedly took out a few packets and handed them over, "Yes, there are pork shops and beef jerky here." ”
Chen Shulang laughed and said, "Thanks to your butcher shop, you don't even need tolls this time, just want this butcher shop!" ”
He was actually very surprised, this big brother is a little delicious on weekdays, and he was able to get acquainted with him before for a sauce beef, but he didn't expect him to know this girl, looking at the greedy look on his face, Chen Shu didn't know what to say.
Seeing the soldier at the butcher shop, he coughed lightly, "Then you will go out of the city today, be careful all the way!" ”
After speaking, he glared at Chen Shu, "Why don't you hurry up and give me something?!" ”
