Chapter 5 Eight Carriages
Night.
The stars have no light, and the moon is brighter.
Not wide dirt road.
Eight carriages walked side by side, leaving in the dust.
The decoration of the carriage is very ordinary, without a bit of luxury, but in the eyes of others, no matter how luxurious a carriage is, it is definitely not as good as these eight simple carriages.
Because these eight carriages, from head to toe, are exactly the same!
The same roof, the same wheels, the same dark horse, and even the people who drive the car are exactly the same!
Where can I find eight people who look exactly the same?
This is a question that perhaps only one person in the world can answer.
The man was sitting in the fifth carriage.
Soon, the eight carriages encountered a fork in the road, separated from each other, forked in the road again, and separated again, and at last, on a hidden mountain road, only the fifth carriage was left alone.
The interior and exterior of the carriage are almost worlds apart, the curtain outside the carriage is dirty and torn, as if it was temporarily picked up from the ground, but the car is not only covered with a precious blanket, but also a carved wooden table is placed on the blanket, and even on the carved wooden table, there are two pots of fragrant wine.
Who, exactly, and why did he do it?
The mountain road was rough, the carriage was moving forward, and strangely, not a single drop of wine was spilled on the table.
To be able to drive a carriage like this on such a rugged mountain road, the coachman must not be an ordinary person.
What kind of person will the owner of the car be if such a driver can be hired?
In addition to the coachman, there were three other people in the carriage.
A noble son, a long-bearded master, and a young man who looks rustic.
The young man, dressed in coarse cloth and with black cloth over his eyes, sat opposite the two of them, and stopped talking, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "I...... Can I take the blindfold off?"
The noble prince smiled and said nothing, took a sip of the wine glass, and said to the long-bearded master on the side: "Of course, Mr. Shiqiao has been wronged and has worn an eye patch for so long, and I hope Mr. will not be surprised." ”
The young man tore off the black cloth and said with a stupid smile: "No blame, no blame, I'm not Mr. Ishibashi, Mr. explained to me, if you have anything to say to me, I will go back and tell him." ”
The young man's feet were dirty, and it was a black mark on the blanket, but the noble prince didn't mind at all, and said, "You don't have to pretend, if you weren't Mr. Ishibashi, there would be no Mr. Ishibashi in the world." ”
The young man scratched his head and said, "Little brother, why are you talking nonsense with your eyes open? I look like this, how can I be the famous Mr. Ishibashi?"
He was indeed very ordinary, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a low nose, a mouth that was not curled, and his skin was not white, and there were a hundred random people in the crowd, and about ninety-five of them looked like this.
The master smiled: "Some people say that Mr. Ishibashi is an oily old man, some people say that he is a Taoist priest with white hair, and some people even say that Mr. Ishibashi is not only not a man, but a coquettish slut, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who would believe that Mr. Ishibashi, who is famous all over the world, is actually such an ordinary young man with a crown?"
The young man laughed, "Since you must think of me as Mr. Ishibashi, then I have to pretend to be." ”
Gui Gongzi stared at him and said, "You are!"
"What are you looking for me for?"
The young man seems to have admitted that he is Mr. Ishibashi.
The master said: "We ......"
"You're so smart, might as well guess?"
The noble prince interrupted coldly, his tone was already a little dissatisfied.
Shiqiao leaned back, touched the blanket and said, "This feel is a handmade blanket from the brocade door, and the wooden table is a teak square table specially made by the Divine Craftsman Sect." He sniffed and said, "The two pots of wine on the table are still Kaibao lychee wine that has been cellared for at least twenty years, let me think about it......"
"You're a big businessman from afar?"
Gui Gongzi glanced at the master, snorted angrily, the master looked embarrassed, and said: "Mr. Shiqiao is really meticulous and astute, but he is just ......"
"It's just that you are not businessmen, let alone from afar, the Sanling Gang governs the three cities of Shangling, Zhongling, and Xialing, if I guess correctly, this son is the son of the leader of the Sanling Gang. The Sanling Gang has been rubbing with the Corpse Hall recently, but they are worried that the Five Elements Gate will take advantage of the fire to rob, so they don't dare to start a war, you don't look for others, but look for me, this matter must be related to the Corpse Palace, declare in advance, I can't do anything to kill people, stealing chickens and touching dogs, it depends on the price. ”
Shiqiao finished speaking in one breath, his eyes looked at the roof of the car, he didn't have to look, and he knew what the expression on the other party's face was now, only to hear the two of them take a deep breath, and the noble son had already said respectfully: "I am the third in the family, just call me the third son." And he said, "Mr. Ishibashi, dare to ask how you found out my identity?"
Ishibashi sat up and said, "Let's talk about the purpose first." ”
The master lifted the car window, peeked out, and Shiqiao said: "Don't worry, you blindfolded me, took a boat and drilled holes, and finally arranged eight carriages, and the ghost didn't know that you were here." ”
The third prince seemed to be very curious, and asked, "How do you know that it is eight carriages?"
Ishibashi pointed to his ear, "This thing is not for seeing. ”
The third son was choked for a while, and the master said: "I can't hide it, my son-in-law came to Mr. this time to get a thing." ”
Ishibashi corrected, "Steal." ”
The master coughed and said, "It's stealing." Sir may not know that the master of the corpse hall has eighteen concubines, but he loves the eighth one the most, and he also gave her a pearl the size of a fist. ”
"What's so special about this pearl?"
Not to mention the fist-sized pearls in the Sanling Gang, there are definitely a lot of pearls the size of the head, so that pearl is naturally extraordinary, otherwise how could the other party come to him?
Who knew that the master said: "That pearl is nothing special, it may not be important to others, but to my son-in-law, it is very precious." ”
"A token of love, an ancestral treasure, or a dowry from your mother?"
Shiqiao said and found that the third prince's face was getting more and more ugly, so he hurriedly stopped, coughed and said: "Three thousand taels, the sun will set tomorrow, come to Shiqiaoju to get it." ”
The two of the Sanling Gang glanced at each other, their faces were different, and Shiqiao said, "Too expensive?"
The master hurriedly shook his head, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and said, "This is three thousand taels." Just sir, do you know where we are now?" and added: "Even if this carriage does not stop for a moment, it will at least be at noon tomorrow before it can rush back to Shangling City." ”
Ishibashi's index finger rubbed his lower lip, quite embarrassed: "Tomorrow afternoon, ah......"
The master nodded and said: "Yes, as long as the matter can be done, it is okay to have a grace period of a few days, but I hope that Mr. will keep this matter strictly confidential and never disclose half a word to the public." ”
Shiqiao didn't seem to hear his words at all, and said to himself: "If it's noon tomorrow, then I have to sleep first." ”
He just lay on his back on the blanket, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
Snoring.
Not only is his sleeping appearance not elegant, grinning teeth, but it is very ugly, but there are two people who like to look at it.
These two people are not Childe, nor Master, Childe and Master have already gotten out of the car and replaced with two beautiful girls with hot bodies and only a transparent gauze on their bodies.
Although there were still three people in the carriage, the atmosphere was very different from before.
Under the moonlight, beside the mountain road.
The two figures hid among the long grass, looking at the departing carriage, silent.
When the carriage disappeared from view, one person said, "Will he discover our secret?"
"No matter how smart he is, he will never think of our true purpose. ”
"I can't let my dad know about this. ”
"Sir, he would never know. ”
"I can't let my two brothers know. ”
"Don't worry, son, everything has been arranged by his subordinates. ”
The speaker was holding a human head in his hand, and his eyes were round, and he was the driver who had just driven the car.
