Chapter 247: Destination Windy City
Jinbao hurriedly took out a purse and directly opened the mouth of the purse, revealing the silver ingots with white flowers inside.
"Look, there are so many, shall we go to the hotel?"
"Big brother, I know that there is an inn not far ahead, as long as forty wen a room, we will open ......"
As soon as Geng Xingshuang finished speaking, the tallest one immediately said.
"Open two rooms, one for the four of you, one for the two of us, after all, the road is still far away, and the silver can't be spent indiscriminately, otherwise before you reach the destination, there will be no silver, and you still have to sleep in the open, but it is very cold in the north."
Geng Xingshuang said busily, she hid some mysteries in her words, and only hoped that these people could follow her words.
The eldest brother snorted lightly, as if he saw Geng Xingshuang's careful thoughts, and was about to speak, when he saw the other two people also stand up, one of them said: "Although we are not going to the Northland, but the Wind City is also quite cold, not only the cold wind is also strong, so it is indeed necessary to leave more silver to stay in the guest house."
As he spoke, he nodded, as if appreciating Geng Xingshuang for being able to think of these things in advance.
"Second brother, you ...... What did you tell them? ”
"That's it, second brother, this time the fourth brother has finally stabilized, and if you don't have bald words, it's good for you to follow in the footsteps of the fourth."
The other of the two, who had just stood up, complained.
At this point, Geng Xingshuang can see the order of these four people, the oldest one is naturally the eldest at first glance, the tallest is the smallest, that is, the fourth, the two in the middle, the darker skin is the third, and the other is the second.
Geng Xingshuang gave the four of them a code name in his heart, and they were called ...... Bandits, bandits two, bandits three, bandits four.
The bandit is shrewd and capable, the second bandit is simple-minded, the third bandit has developed limbs, and the fourth bandit is ...... Childish?
Geng Xingshuang hoped that their true temperament would be the same as what he had observed now.
After that, even if you can't escape, life will be better, and you can get some useful news from them.
Geng Xingshuang understood the truth of what should be done, and no longer asked, but changed the topic: "It's not early, if you don't leave, wait until you get to the inn, I'm afraid it's already midnight, and you only rest for half the night, but you have to pay for the room for the night, which is really a loss!"
As soon as these words came out, it really stirred up the nerves of the second and fourth bandits.
"Let's go!" As he spoke, he began to pack his things.
Bandit San stretched out his hand, stopped meaningfully, looked at Bandit Da and said, "Big brother hasn't agreed yet!"
"Is there an inn that doesn't cost money? Big brother is not a fool! The bandit also packed up his things.
The four kidnappers were very accustomed to this kind of life of eating and sleeping in the open, and before Geng Xingshuang and Jinbao, who had packed up their things quickly, could react, they saw that there was nothing left on the snow except for the fire that had been extinguished.
"Girl, why are they so talkative?"
Until he got into the carriage, Jinbao was still in disbelief.
"The four of them, although three of them don't seem to be very smart, but they are not stupid, since they have an inn to live in, and they don't want to pay for their own money, they are naturally willing to live more comfortably, do you really think they are not cold!"
"But...... Girl, if they want the money on us, we will not be able to keep it. ”
Jinbao was most puzzled by this, after they showed their purses, although those people looked greedy, but they didn't grab it.
Geng Xingshuang said: "I also tried it just now, but I didn't expect good luck, as for why they didn't rob it, maybe it was because the people who asked them to send us to the west explained that they wanted to send us over intact, and there could be no difference, if they robbed the silver, if we resisted, we would inevitably be injured, they couldn't afford it, which is why I just said that if I want to continue to live in the wild, I will freeze to death, and the most important reason why they are willing to go to the guest house so soon."
What's more, they look like unrestrained people in the rivers and lakes, but they may also have their own bottom line, although they take over this business, they only take their share of the silver.
These are just my speculations, not necessarily accurate, we can't take it lightly, they don't take us right now, and they can't guarantee that it will always be like this. ”
Jinbao nodded vigorously, now that she is the only one by the girl's side, even if she fights for her life, she will protect the girl.
Since Geng Xingshuang put forward the guest house and a series of requirements on the first night, she and Jinbao have had a much better life for the rest of the journey, at least they will not risk freezing to death.
Along the way, Geng Xingshuang's master and servant and the two bandits and the four bandits were familiar with each other, and the two of them had been in charge of driving the carriage, so they could still chat a few words from time to time while sitting in the car.
However, it may be that the second bandit revealed to them that the destination of this trip was Windy City, and in the end, the second bandit was taught a lesson, or the third bandit had been riding a horse and followed by his side, and they could hear everything in the carriage, so in addition to Windy City, she didn't find out more about the people behind the scenes.
For example, whether King Ping is the only person behind the scenes, such as sending them to Windy City, whether to send them to Governor Xie's mansion, what is the purpose of King Ping and Governor Xie's kidnapping her, etc., Geng Xingshuang inadvertently asked these questions while chatting, but disappointingly, he couldn't hear the answer from the two bandits and the four bandits.
But it's not all for nothing, at least Geng Xingshuang knows where these people came from.
The bandits and the four didn't dare to say who was behind the scenes, and they didn't know the ultimate purpose of the people behind the scenes, so they didn't dare or couldn't answer these two questions, but for themselves, they were quite happy to say it.
Therefore, Geng Xingshuang knew that they were the horse thieves who had robbed and killed the merchants passing through the West several times, and even attacked the city to kill people and steal goods, and did all kinds of evil.
"We have been wronged to death, in fact, we have already washed our hands in a golden basin, the eldest brother said, if any of us dare to do the previous business, we will chop off our hands, so where do we dare to come out and make trouble, we have been reforming for many years, and we have been farming well at home, and the pot fell from the sky!"
Jinbao was puzzled, "Since you didn't do it, how do you know that the rumored horse thief is you?" ”
"It's not that we can have anyone, over the years, a group of horse thieves in the West have appeared, and a group of them have been killed, and it has long been no momentum, and people outside say that Boss Sha led people to do it, and my eldest brother's title outside is Boss Sha."
The bandits felt very wronged, so wronged that they wanted to go to the county yamen to beat the drum and shout injustice.
It's just that they haven't cried out for grievances yet, and the person who created such grievances actually took the initiative to come to the door, and sent them such a hard work to lose their conscience, alas......
The two bandits and the four looked at each other, and they all felt that they were very miserable.
The two of them sighed heavily again in unison.
Geng Xingshuang made them sigh, and even almost sympathized with them.
However, she stopped her overflowing sympathy in time, and although she knew their current names, she still called them big and big in her heart.
Since they were kidnapped, they were naturally bandits.
