Seeing that there was a stall selling fruits on the side of the road, Shangguan Xiu pulled Tang Ling forward and looked down at the fruits placed on it, there were not many types, only apples, oranges and pears. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Shangguan Xiu looked at it, picked up an apple casually, and asked in Besa language, "How much is the apple?"

"One copper coin!" The owner of the fruit stall was a middle-aged man in his early forties, answering Shangguan Xiu's question, but his eyes were looking intently at Tang Ling beside him.

Although it was not the first time he had seen a wind man, it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful wind man.

Compared with usual, Tang Ling's current appearance is extremely embarrassed, wearing a fat and big Besa military uniform, her hair is not coiled up, scattered at random, and her small face is also black and white, but these can't hide her beauty, let alone the noble and elegant temperament that naturally flows from her.

Standing with Tang Ling, who is peerless and fragrant, Shangguan Xiu, who has changed into a Besa person, looks too ordinary, up and down, there is nothing surprising, the two stand together, how to look at it and feel incongruous, giving people a sense of disobedience with flowers inserted in cow dung.

Seeing that the eyes of the owner of the fruit stall were about to fly to Tang Ling, Shangguan Xiu sighed secretly, he picked out some of each fruit, and snapped his fingers twice in a row at the stunned boss, and when he came back to his senses, he patted the fruit he picked out and said, "I want these." ”heiyaпge

"In total, a total of twenty copper coins!" the boss reacted, counted carefully, and said to Shangguan Xiu.

The latter took out the bulging money bag and poured it outward, and a handful of large coins slipped out of it, and copper, silver, and gold coins were all mixed together.

Some of these Besa coins were carried by him, and some were turned out of the corpses of Besa soldiers.

He didn't bother to count it, so he pulled out a silver coin and handed it to the boss. The latter didn't dare to reach out to take it, waved his hand again and again, and said, "It's more, it's more, it's not so much." ”

In Besa, silver and bronze coins are exchanged for one to one hundred, and gold and silver coins are exchanged for one to one.

Shangguan Xiu smiled, stuffed the silver coin in his hand into the boss's hand, and said, "More money, you don't need to get it back, let me ask you, is there anyone selling horses here?"

"Selling horses?" The boss thought for a while, slapped his face suddenly, and said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence, Blake is selling horses! The harvest in the past two years has not been good, and Blake's family has not even paid the rent last year, so he can only sell the horses." ”

"Blake, where does he live?"

"To the north of town, you follow the road all the way to the end and see the most dilapidated house, which is Blake's house. Maybe it's because Tang Ling is too beautiful, or maybe Shangguan Xiu's shot is too generous, the boss is very enthusiastic, and takes the initiative to walk out from behind the fruit stall, pointing to the street in front of him, and helping Shangguan Xiu make an introduction in detail. Then, he looked Shangguan Xiu up and down, and asked curiously, "Little brother is from out of town?"

"Sail City!"

"Isn't there a war going on in Sail?"

"It's over, and I'm getting ready to take my wife home. ”

"She's your wife?

"His Majesty has no rule that the Besa people cannot marry a windman. ”

"That's right!" As he spoke, the boss's gaze unconsciously fell on Tang Ling's body again, and he soon looked at it again and was stunned.

It wasn't until Shangguan Xiu coughed twice that the boss came back to his senses, his old face turned red, and he smiled embarrassedly: "Little brother's wife is so beautiful, if I can be twenty years younger, I may also go to the army and get back such a beautiful wife." ”

He didn't think that Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu were in love, and naturally thought that Tang Ling was snatched back by him.

Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently, didn't say anything, picked up the wrapped fruit, and turned around with Tang Ling to leave, the boss suddenly remembered something, looked around, grabbed Shangguan Xiu's arm, and reminded in a mysterious whisper: "Little brother, don't stay in the town with your wife, hurry up!"

He looked at his boss puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"

The boss cleared his throat unnaturally, lowered his voice, and said, "Lord Viscount has always coveted beauty, and if he knows that your wife is so beautiful, he will ...... You're going to be in trouble, and if you don't want to get into trouble, hurry up and leave here with your wife!" After speaking, he glanced at Tang Ling deeply, shook his head again and again, and walked back to the back of the fruit stall. Having such a beautiful wife is not necessarily a good thing, and if you don't get it right, you will bring yourself to death.

Shangguan Xiu was stunned at first, then the corners of his mouth raised, smiled, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you uncle for the reminder." ”

The boss obviously didn't want to say more, or he didn't dare to say more, so he silently glanced at Shangguan Xiu and urged him to leave quickly.

Of course, the current Shangguan Xiu didn't want to cause trouble, he took Tang Ling's hand and walked forward quickly.

He said so many words to the fruit stall owner, Tang Ling couldn't understand a word beside him, and after walking a distance, she asked curiously, "What was he talking to you just now?"

Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "He said that there is a viscount living here, but he is very, if he sees you, he will snatch you away!"

Tang Ling thought he was joking, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. The title of viscount, that is not an unpopular noble, how can there be a viscount living in such a remote and inconspicuous town?

According to the tips of the fruit stall owner, Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling walked all the way to the end of the street, where the houses were no longer as dense as in the town, and they were scattered, one in the east and one in the west. Shangguan Xiu looked around and found a dilapidated farmhouse in the northeast.

After looking closely, it was the farmhouse that was the most dilapidated, and he immediately took Tang Ling over.

There are two houses, one is for people, the other is a warehouse for livestock and sundries, and there is a small yard for growing vegetables next to it. The house is made of wood and looks dilapidated, and the walls are covered with dense grass and vines.

As soon as the two of them reached the door of the house, as the door opened, a farmer of nearly forty years of age came out.

He wore a round-necked shirt top, gray shorts underneath, trouser legs that covered his knees, and mud-stained leather shoes on his feet. The clothes on his body were no longer visible in their original color, and they were still covered with many patches.

At the same time that Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling were looking at him, he was also looking at the two of them.

Similar to the reaction of the fruit stall owner, when he saw Tang Ling's appearance clearly, his eyes naturally flashed a bright light, and then he couldn't take it off again. Shangguan Xiu shook his head secretly and asked, "Is Your Excellency Mr. Blair?"

The middle-aged farmer came back to his senses, scratched his hair unnaturally, and asked, "Excuse me, are you ......?"

"I heard you're selling horses?"

"Yes...... Yes, sir!"

"I'm here to buy a horse!" Shangguan Xiu said straight to the point, "Can you let me see the horses you sell?"

Without waiting for the middle-aged farmer to speak, three more people came out of the farmhouse with the sound of footsteps, one was a middle-aged woman about the same age as Blair, and the other two were young girls of sixteen or seventeen years old.

The three of them first looked at Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling in surprise, and then looked at Blair in confusion.

He explained in a low voice: "They are here to buy horses!" As he spoke, he looked at Shangguan Xiu again, and said, "Sir, the horse I sell is not a horse, it can be used to make war horses, and the price is not cheap!"

"You can bring it. ”

"This ...... Alright!" the middle-aged farmer turned his head and whispered a few words to the peasant woman behind him. The peasant woman answered, and walked quickly to the side of the warehouse. While she was going to lead the horse, the middle-aged farmer walked up to Shangguan Xiu and asked, "Sir is not a local, is he?"

"Passing by. ”

"Oh, is the gentleman going to Sayre to fight?"

"The battle of the city of Cel has been fought, and I am preparing to return to Theoron with my wife. ”

"I see. ”

After a short chat, the peasant woman came out of the warehouse with a tall horse. The middle-aged farmer showed a reluctant look on his face and explained: "It was originally a purebred war horse, left with me, and can only be used to pull a cart to work, and if this continues, this horse will be wasted, in fact, I don't want to sell it......

Before he could finish speaking, Shangguan Xiu interrupted impatiently: "How much?"

"This ......" The middle-aged farmer looked at Shangguan Xiu and then at Tang Ling, tentatively stretched out four fingers, and said, "Forty...... Forty silver coins. ”

Before Shangguan Xiu could answer, he added: "At least thirty-seven silver coins, no less!"

Obviously, he is not a businessman, and he didn't wait for Shangguan Xiu to bargain with him, he himself showed the bottom line first. Shangguan Xiu smiled, took out a gold coin from the money bag, and handed it to the middle-aged farmer.

The middle-aged farmer took the gold coin, widened his eyes, looked down, and stammered, "This ...... This is the gold coin. ”

"There is a fake exchange. ”

"I ...... I can't find it. The middle-aged farmer shook his head and said.

"No need to look for it. Shangguan Xiu said generously: "If you still have some food at home, you can give me some." ”

"No problem, no problem!" the middle-aged farmer couldn't believe his ears. The price of a war horse is between thirty and thirty-five silver coins, and now people have paid one gold coin, which is enough to buy three war horses under normal circumstances.

When the peasant woman went to prepare food for Shangguan Xiu, a Besa girl ran to Shangguan Xiu and handed him a glass bottle containing dark red things.

Shangguan Xiu took it curiously, unplugged the wooden cork on it, and lowered his head to smell it.

The girl Bessa blushed slightly and said, "This is the jam that our family makes ourselves." ”

Shangguan Xiu took out a little bit with his fingers and put it in his mouth, sweet with the taste of strawberries.

It's strawberry jam! He thanked him with a smile and handed the glass bottle in his hand to Tang Ling, who tasted it, his eyes lit up, and he smiled, looking at her smile, even the girl of Betha looked straight.

Not long after, the peasant woman came out of the house, still carrying a large package in her hand, and said to Shangguan Xiu: "Sir, there is only so much food in our house. ”

"Enough. Shangguan Xiu nodded with a smile, took the package, didn't look at it, hung it directly on the horse's back, and said to the middle-aged farmer: "Mr. Blair, let's not bother much, farewell." As he spoke, he took the reins of his horse and was about to leave, when a large crowd came from outside. Before the people could get closer, the shrill laughter came first. "Blair, I heard that someone has come to buy your horse, this time, you should pay the rent!"
