Chapter 237: Familiar Bribery
Day 2.
When Wu Yun woke up, she felt that the carriage was swaying, and when she opened her eyes dimly, she saw Bai Yan sitting beside her.
"Wake up!"
Bai Yan saw Wu Yun wake up, took out the dry food that was still a little warm from the package on the side, and handed it to Wu Yun.
"Thank you Zixiao!"
Wu Yun took the dry food, and after thanking him, he quietly lowered his head and took a small sip, his eyes were full of worry when he looked at his brother who was sleeping beside him.
Wu Gao's injuries have begun to deteriorate.
Thinking of this, Wu Yun's eyes were red, and she looked at the young man on the side unnaturally.
Yesterday, she already knew that the young man in front of her was a scholar surnamed Xu from Qi State, and this time she came to Zhao State, just like her, to Handan.
Xu Zixiao is the name of this young man.
The boy didn't say what the purpose of going to Handan was, and she didn't ask.
Because she also didn't tell the boy why she and her brother went to Handan.
Two hours later.
As the carriage was about to reach the city, the carriage slowly stopped.
In the carriage, Bai Yan moved Wu Gao's body to the back and found some cloth wrapping clothes to cover it.
"Is that okay?"
Wu Yun looked at it with a worried face and asked softly.
"Do you have any other options?"
Bai Yan turned his head to look at Wu Yun: "If we don't enter the city today, we can drag it out, but Brother Ru may not be able to last long!" ”
After finishing speaking, seeing that Wu Yun couldn't say anything else, Bai Yan turned his head to look at Wu Gao's weak cheeks, reached out and wrapped it in the cloth on the side, took out the clothes, and covered Wu Gao's body.
In this unfamiliar place, Bai Yan originally planned to find a chai man and bribe him with a lot of money to see if he could put Wu Gao in the chai cart and send him into the city.
I never thought that Wu Gao's body was already too weak.
If I go to the city to find a doctor later, I am afraid that Wu Gao's life will be lost.
"At least before sunset, the people of that village won't come here, don't worry, we should be able to enter the city."
After Bai Yan had done everything, he sat back in his original position, clapped his palms, turned his head to Wu Yun and said.
In the second half of the night, a villager hurried overnight with torches in his hand, and wanted to open the city gate at dawn, so he informed the officials in the city of the news.
That person, the villagers, had already been disposed of by them.
Counting that person's return trip, before sunset, the people of that village will definitely not appear here.
As long as the people of that village don't come here, it shouldn't be difficult to enter the city now.
Inside the carriage.
Wu Yun heard Bai Yan's words, and although she was worried, she still nodded.
After seeing Wu Yun sit down, Bai Yan opened his mouth and instructed Ye to set off on his way.
After a long time, when the carriage came to the gate of the city, Bai Yan and Wu Yun in the carriage held their breath, quietly listening to the movement outside, and listening to Zhao Shu's inquiry.
Then I saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Zhao pawn lift the curtain and look into the carriage.
When this young Zhao pawn saw Wu Yun, he looked at it for several breaths, and was patted by other older Zhao pawns before he came back to his senses.
"What's behind that?"
Zhao Shu asked.
Wu Yun lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes with her slender hands.
Bai Yan on the side took out more than 500 coins from his sleeve pocket unhurriedly.
"I was invited to Handan, those are some clothes for my concubine, if you don't believe it, you can come up and have a look."
Bai Yan said to the young Zhao Zu, and then stretched out his hand.
Seeing this, the young Zhao pawn saw so much money, his eyes widened, and before he could react, an older Zhao pawn behind him impatiently pushed it away, and then took two steps forward.
"I'll check!"
After the older Zhao Shu got into the carriage, he glanced at Bai Yan who was obviously hiding a person behind him, and then looked at Bai Yan's outfit and the jade pendant hanging around his waist.
Thinking that this young man was invited to Zhao Kingdom, this outfit is by no means an ordinary person.
Zhao Zu guessed in his heart that it should be the woman in the village who was taken by this young man and specially taken captive, otherwise how could a richly dressed young man be brought to the city by Tibet.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shu smiled and reached out to take the five hundred coins in Bai Yan's hand, but he didn't leave in a hurry.
"The clothes?"
Zhao asked asked.
In his eyes, the young man in front of him is so familiar with the road and so generous, obviously not the first time he has done it.
can make such a young man look at, and the woman's appearance will definitely not be worse than this woman.
"These clothes are ordinary cloth clothes, if the adults finish searching, it is not early, I have to rush to Handan to make an appointment! Otherwise, it's too late, not to mention Handan's old friends, even if they have arrived in Handan, they will inevitably be scolded! ”
Bai Yan took out two hundred coins from his sleeve pocket again and put them in Zhao Shu's hand.
This adds up to more than 700 yuan, and to buy a slave in the Qin State, it is only 4,300 yuan for adult slaves, regardless of men and women, and only 2,500 yuan for young children.
In the case of more women and fewer men, Zhao Guo is several times more than Qin Guo, although Bai Yan has not understood the market, but it will definitely be much lower.
More than 700 dollars to cross the road, which is a lot.
"I see, okay, that's fine!"
Zhao Zu naturally heard that the young man was telling him that he was a woman from an ordinary family in the village, and after the 'collection', he would take someone to Handan, and there would be a backer behind him.
Looking at the young man's body, he felt the heavy money in his hand, Zhao Zu didn't dare to be greedy anymore, so he turned around and walked out of the carriage.
The curtain was lowered again.
"Get out of the way!"
Outside the carriage, Zhao Zu's voice sounded.
Wu Yun didn't breathe a sigh of relief until this time, and the silk clothes in front of her fluctuated slightly.
When the carriage moved, Wu Yun turned his head to look at Xu Zixiao beside him and found that his face was very calm.
After entering the city.
"How did Zixiao know that Zhao Shu would not search?"
Wu Yun finally couldn't help but ask, and as long as he got into the carriage, he could see a person behind him.
Why is Xu Zixiao so calm in front of him, or so sure.
Isn't it the first time he's done this kind of thing?
Thinking of this, Wu Yun looked at Bai Yan's eyes, and there was no trace of a slight difference.
"Why do you think the people of that village want to kill you and your party?"
When Bai Yan heard Wu Yun's inquiry, he didn't answer, but looked ahead and asked softly.
Wu Yun didn't react for a while.
"It's supposed to be money!"
Wu Yun said instinctively, thinking of her beloved, a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes.
If she can, she is willing to use more money to exchange the lives of those villagers and people.
Just when Wu Yun was sad, he saw Bai Yan spit out a sentence softly.
"If it weren't for this day, those people would be kinder than all the scholars!"
Bai Yan's words made Wu Yun stunned.
Soon Wu Yun understood the meaning of the young man beside him, Zhao State has been in drought for many years, with the current lack of grain and grass in Zhao State, those people are desperate, if they don't violate their conscience, not only will they starve to death, but even their wives and children and parents will starve to death.
No matter what happened to Zhao in the past, now in the face of Zhao Guo's situation, he will become insensitive, and he only recognizes money.
"God owes them, and my beloved doesn't! The people of that village, kill my beloved, and I will take revenge in the future. ”
Wu Yun looked aside.
She didn't blame the young man in front of her, who was also a child of the Shi clan, for talking to the murderers who killed her beloved, but she also had to tell this young man.
Kill for your life!
She still wants revenge!
Inside the carriage, Bai Yan heard Wu Yun's words, turned his head to look at Wu Yun who was curled up and looked directly at the wooden plank in front of him.
Bai Yan didn't speak, and he wouldn't stop Wu Yun.
Because if it were him, maybe he would have gone even more too far than Wu Yun.
What's more, after those people killed people and seized money, they lost their nature, who knows how to treat the other women who were caught by them.
Just now, he just sighed that this God and this world have imperceptibly turned people into this.
Just like him.
Now that he has killed many people, I don't know when, he has slowly become accustomed to killing.
Inside the city.
The carriage drove slowly down the street until it came to a drugstore.
"You have a wound on your back, I know the medicine to heal the wound, you don't have to go down, after you get the herb, you must leave this place immediately, you must not stay for a long time!"
Bai Yan looked at Wu Yun and wanted to get out of the carriage, and said.
Wu Yun nodded, she naturally knew how dangerous it was to stay here.
Bai Yan got up, lifted the curtain, handed over the money to the three of them, and whispered to Qi to get the herbs, let Feng Nian find a trailer, and let Ye buy some coarse cloth clothes.
After explaining everything clearly and watching the three of them leave, Bai Yan returned to the carriage.
"Zixiao often goes out to travel around the world?"
Wu Yun couldn't help but ask softly, she found that the young Xu Zixiao was not only delicate, but also very sophisticated.
This is definitely not the vision and agility that a carefree ordinary child in a big family can have.
Qi Guo Xu's surname.
She did know that there were many clans surnamed Xu in Qi Kingdom, but she had never heard of a young boy named Xu Zixiao.
"Occasional travel, no more than a deal!"
Bai Yan heard Wu Yun's inquiry and whispered, looking like he didn't want to talk in depth.
Yu Guang looked at Wu Yun, Bai Yan knew that at the moment, he couldn't ask Wu Yun and Wu Gao about the purpose of coming to Zhao Guo this time.
Even if he asked, the two siblings would probably not tell the truth.
Since this is the case, it is better to give this Wu Yun a feeling that he doesn't care about the other party, only in this way can he lower the other party's mental vigilance.
"Stay here, I'll go out!"
Bai Yan looked at Wu Yun.
Wu Yun was a little puzzled, and then watched Bai Yan get up and walk out of the car.
After watching Bai Yan's departing back disappear.
Inside the carriage.
Wu Yun turned her head to look at Wu Gao, listening to the voices of the people and pedestrians outside the carriage, and it was not until there was no one that her eyes left two lines of tears.
She didn't expect that this trip to Zhao Kingdom, her lover died on the road before he arrived in Handan.
In the blink of an eye, she became a widow, and her brother was seriously injured and unconscious.
She was not against anti-Qin, her father did not like Qin, and after marrying her to Wei, her beloved father was also an official in Wei who supported anti-Qin.
Her eldest brother followed General Yi Cheng to fight against Qin last year, but was killed by Bai Yan, a Qin man.
But she never imagined that her beloved would be killed by the people who had no way out before she arrived in Handan as promised.
"Woo woo woo~!"
Wu Yun hid her face and cried bitterly.
In Zhang Er's information, when Zhang Er was young, he was a frequent visitor to the Wuji seat of the prince of Wei. used to be a dead swimmer.
In the record, a rich girl lost her husband, and her father's protégé suggested that she marry Zhang Er, and the rich woman married Zhang Er and gave her great support. Zhang Er attracted guests from all directions and became the commander of Huang County outside Wei.
Here's a slight change.
It's really not water!!
Guys, there's a later chapter, send it again in the morning, and you have to catch up all night with a knife, and I had a conflict with my wife this afternoon, and I was beaten by my wife and my nose bleeds.
