Volume 2 Juvenile Tour Chapter 13 The Old Shopkeeper of the Gongshan Clan
"You can't even look at a single person! You two shit! Nan Rongfu roared in the rain.
"My lord, we are just turning around, and then Shen Gongzi is gone."
"My lord, don't worry, those pursuers of the Gongshan tribe shouldn't be able to catch up here, I think at most some of those captives are making trouble."
Nan Rongfu looked at the mist stirred up around him, and said coldly: "I don't care if the people who captured Shen Gongzi are from the Gongshan tribe or those captives, in short, you go and get the people back for me, if you can't find them, don't think about coming back in the future!" ”
"Your Excellency!" The two men said in fear.
"Why don't you go yet?!"
Nan Rongfu watched the two subordinates disappear, a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart, he now had some suspicions that Shen Ye was not taken away, but that he had already known his intentions and took the initiative to choose to leave.
"If that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Nan Rongfu squinted his eyes and walked towards the west.
……
In the heavy rain, Shen Ye and Su Yan were running wildly to the west.
"Your Highness, where are we going now?"
"Go find Dugu Shao, he should be going in this direction." Shen Ye knew that Dugu Shao must have a way to get close to Dongdaying, after all, Yizhou was their territory.
The wind was roaring, and the autumn rain was tormented by the strong wind into a "huge wave" on land, and layers of rain curtains hit the two of them.
At this time, not to mention running, even simply walking made Shen Ye and Su Yan feel extremely difficult.
"Your Highness, let's go take shelter from the rain first." Su Yan shouted, and the heavy rain slapped Su Yan's body, making him a little unable to open his eyes.
Although Shen Ye had the heart to continue running, his right shoulder ached faintly, and the heavy rain caused his wound to bleed again, which made Shen Ye have to give up.
Shen Ye pointed to the village not far ahead and said, "Let's go over there and take a rest." ”
The distance of less than three miles made the two of them strenuous efforts.
When the two came to the village, they saw a shop sign at the head of the village, and Shen Ye said happily: "Let's go here and buy rain gear by the way." ”
Shen Ye pushed open the door of the store hard, and the wind blew in, blowing the things on the shelves of the store to pieces.
"My goods!" A strange voice came from the corner of the shop.
Shen Ye and the others hurriedly leaned the door of the store shut, and Shen Ye said apologetically to the corner: "I'm really sorry, we will compensate you for any losses." ”
"Can they afford it?"
Shen Ye listened to the voice a little weird, he subconsciously looked over, and couldn't help but be startled by the shopkeeper who couldn't make his words clear.
I saw an old shopkeeper with a bruised face and blood on the corner of his mouth sitting behind the counter, with herbs and linen in front of him.
"Shopkeeper, is there a robber in the store?" Su Yan looked at the miserable appearance of the old shopkeeper in front of him and asked out loud.
Hearing Su Yan's question, the shopkeeper was sad: ", it was a group of robbers in the barracks, they robbed me of my things, not only didn't give money, but also beat me, and when the rain stopped, I will take the people in our village to Dongdaying to ask for an explanation!" ”
"East Daying?" Shen Ye didn't understand the old shopkeeper's words, he was puzzled: "The robbers robbed you of your things, what's the matter with the Kanto camp?" Shouldn't you go to the nearest government office to report the crime? ”
The old shopkeeper said angrily: "The old man kept an eye on it and heard the conversation of the gang, and the gang called their head the young general, doesn't this obviously mean that they are people in the barracks?" ”
"Major General?" Shen Ye's heart moved: "Are those people wearing armor?" ”
The old shopkeeper snorted, accidentally touched the wound on his mouth, and he bared his teeth and grinned: "Wouldn't it be too blatant for them to rob things and still wear armor?" ”
"Your Highness, I see it's raining heavily outside, and they've taken off their armor."
Shen Ye nodded, and then asked, "Old shopkeeper, do you know where they went after they left here?" ”
The old shopkeeper said angrily: "How do I know? No, you know them? The old shopkeeper immediately took a few steps back and looked at the two of them warily.
Shen Ye and Su Yan looked at each other, they didn't expect that the old shopkeeper would be afraid of being like this, seeing Dugu Shao commit such a bad act, Shen Ye was a little ashamed to admit it in his heart, he took out ten taels of silver from his body and handed it over, comforting: "Old shopkeeper, you put this money away, if this is not enough......"
When the old shopkeeper saw the silver, his eyes lit up, he hurriedly snatched the silver into his hand, and said with a smile: "Enough, enough, well?" What if it's not enough? ”
Shen Ye smiled bitterly: "I have so much silver on me now, if it's not enough, I'll come back to you when I go to the silver." ”
The old shopkeeper looked Shen Ye's clothes up and down, and said, "His share is enough, but when you came in, you got the things on my shelf to the ground, but you need to compensate." ”
Su Yan picked up those gadgets from the ground and said in surprise: "Old shopkeeper, I don't see any wear and tear on these things of yours, why are they broken?" ”
"You know what?" The old shopkeeper rolled his eyes: "This is the treasure handed down by the ancestors of my Gongshan clan, all of them are peerless treasures." ”
"Gongshan Clan?" Su Yan was taken aback, he hurriedly threw down a few wooden gadgets in his hand, and pulled out the Yangzhou double blade: "You are from the Gongshan clan?" ”
The old shopkeeper was so frightened that his face turned dirty, he leaned against the wall, and stammered, "What are you going to do?" ”
Shen Ye stopped Su Xian, who was approaching step by step, and he asked in a deep voice, "Old shopkeeper, this is the village of the Gongshan clan?" ”
The old shopkeeper nodded, then shook his head and said, "No, no, no, my place is actually called Caojiazhuang." ”
Shen Ye understood in his heart, and he said coldly: "You can't hide it from me, your Cao family is not a branch of the Gongshan clan?" ”
The old shopkeeper didn't expect Shen Ye to know their details, and he was so frightened that his legs weakened: "Two, although our ancestors are from the Gongshan clan, we have long since broken off from the Gongshan clan, if you want to settle accounts with them, don't implicate us!" ”
Shen Ye looked at the old shopkeeper's trembling appearance and asked, "Do you know what happened outside?" ”
The old shopkeeper didn't care about the wound on his face at this time: "The people of the clan sent people here a month ago, and they secretly tested our minds, but none of us here like war, so we didn't respond to their call. ”
The old shopkeeper then said: "The Gongshan tribe used to be the largest clan in Yizhou, and there are a large number of branches in the entire Dongzhili, and there are many people like us who like peace, and the two of us can't treat all of us as traitors." ”
"Don't be so innocent, if you really like peace, why don't you tell the news to Dongdaying as soon as possible? You're at peace now, but it's chaos outside! Su Yan struck mercilessly.
