Chapter 40: The Blue Wolf
"Blue wolf thief, listen, let your people leave quickly, our Wang family will not give a cent less for the toll you want."
"It's good to say, it's good to say, the old man will let them go. However, a person's head is now ten taels of silver, and besides, you also have a hundred people, so how about giving you a discount, a thousand taels of silver? ”
One thousand taels of silver is equivalent to half a year's turnover in the palace, which is simply a lion's mouth.
"The head of the blue wolf thief, ten years ago, we also passed by here, and at that time you only accepted fifty copper plates for one head, and now you directly charge one thousand taels, which is too much."
"You also said that it was ten years ago, but now the materials are soaring, what can you buy for fifty copper plates?"
"But you can't just multiply it more than ten times."
"You have no choice but to cross the road, leave your money behind, or leave your heads behind, and we will send you on your way."
"The leader of the wolf thief, don't deceive people too much, I will tell you first, our family is going to Beijing to take office, if you delay our trip, the imperial court soldiers and horses will get involved here sooner or later."
"Who doesn't know that the war in the imperial court is tight, don't say that it is extremely difficult to mobilize troops and horses, even if you can send dozens of people to come, besides, your master is about to enter the earth, and what kind of official will he be in the court."
"What did you say!"
"Boom..."
There were several sounds, and several guards drew their blades at the same time.
"Gu Changshou, thinking that you are upright and in the prime of life, how much can you do with an old man entering the court, why don't you take refuge in our blue wolf? With your skills, being a second-in-command is more than enough. ”
"The head of the blue wolf and thief, don't think that you are supporting a lot of people, so you will bully others, I followed Lord Wang from birth to death, I have never seen any wind and waves, even if you want to fight with us today, you will have no return."
"Hehe, ridiculous, although we only have fifty people, but all of them are good hands, where we pass, more than half of the hundred people in your palace will die."
There was silence on the side of the palace, and after a long time, Wang Yi's voice came from a black-brown carriage: "Give money." ”
"Your Excellency." Gu Changshou jumped off the horse, walked to Wang Yi's black-brown carriage, lowered his head and stuck to the carriage and said, "My lord, I'm worried that they will tear up the ticket if they collect the money." ”
"They don't dare." Wang Yi said lightly: "This group of horse thieves usually loot the money of passing merchants on this road, and they have not done anything too out of line, if they really dare to collect money and tear up tickets, they will lose their credibility and destroy their future." Besides, the way to Cangzhou is not the only way to go. ”
"That's what my lord said." Gu Changshou turned around and shouted at the guards behind him, "Prepare money." ”
It's full of people and it's always busy.
The Wang family sent more than a dozen family members to take out the silver taels from their carriage and hand them over to the horse thieves.
After receiving the silver taels, the horse thief gave way and let the captain of the Wang family drive straight in.
"Lord Wang is really refreshing." The wolf thief laughed: "Let's withdraw." ”
Come fast, go fast, in the blink of an eye, the fifty horse thief, go clean.
One person died on the Wang family's side, and on the whole, there was no loss, but this farce planted an uneasy thought in everyone's hearts.
After a moment's pause, the team started slowly and continued towards the lonely desert.
Soon after the horse thieves left, Lin Jingzhen used a little divine sense to sweep around.
His divine sense could be enveloped within a mile, which was the strongest compared to other Qi cultivators.
In the pale desert, a sturdy Przewalski's horse sat a horse thief with a thief's head and a thief's brain, and the horse thief always controlled the speed of the horse at a distance of thirty zhang from Wang's horse team.
"Sure enough, they didn't come for the tolls." Lin frowned and withdrew his senses.
"I'll go out." He shouted at Xiaoli, who was huddled in the corner, and without waiting for her to answer, he leaned over and opened the canopy.
"Real person, let me come."
"I'm not looking for something to eat."
"Then, then I'll accompany the real person."
"I'm going to relieve you, and you're going to follow?"
"Ahh Xiaoli's face was flushed all over the place.
Lin shrugged his shoulders and stepped out of the carriage.
I don't know if I've been watching the stars for a long time, and I've been teased by the senior sisters several times, and now I'm even frivolous when I speak.
"Uncle Wang, there are some things I want to talk to you about."
He came to Wang Yi's carriage and spoke slowly.
"Ah, it's Nephew Lin." Wang Yi poked out the window, looking excited.
"Hmm."
Lin Jingzhen sat in the carriage, and in addition to Wang Yi, there was also his daughter Wang Luoyi.
"Daddy, let's go out first." Wang Luoyi lowered his brows, looking shy, with the appearance of a lady.
"No hurry, no hurry, I'll introduce you to you." Wang Yi took his daughter's hand and said, "He is the fellow disciple I have been mentioning to you, who practiced with your eldest brother. ”
"Daddy, I know." Wang Luoyi lowered his head and tugged at the corners of his clothes, looking at a loss.
"And what do you think of him?"
"Ahh Wang Luoyi's cheeks suddenly turned red, and the hand tugging at the corner of his clothes tightened, "Yi'er, Yi'er doesn't know what Daddy is talking about." ”
"Haha." Wang Yi smiled heartily, he was very satisfied with his daughter's appearance at this time.
"Ahem." Lin Jingzhen coughed lightly, interrupted him, and said, "Uncle Wang, I have something to tell you. ”
"No hurry, no hurry." Wang Yi smiled: "What do you think of my daughter?" ”
Lin was speechless for a moment, this serious-looking old man was actually promoting his daughter.
"Good." He said casually, compared to the Lin Fairy in his dream, he felt that the women in this mortal world were just about the same.
Wang Luoyi's cheeks turned even redder when he heard his answer.
Seeing this, Lin was stunned, and if he didn't break the deadlock, the old man was afraid that he would directly carry his daughter to his bed, so he cleared his throat and said: "Uncle Wang, the wolf thief sent out a stalker, I'm afraid they have bad intentions." ”
"Really?" Wang Yi frowned, he naturally believed in his methods, after all, the methods revealed by the female fairy girl back then were extremely mysterious and powerful, and the disciples who taught them would naturally not be far behind.
"Seriously." Lin nodded affirmatively.
"You suspect they're looking for an opportunity to get their hands dirty?"
"Well, if they didn't mean that, they wouldn't have sent out stalkers."
"Those thieves, if the old man has the power of the army, he will definitely send troops to eliminate them."
"Uncle Wang, how long will it take for us to leave this desert?"
"At our current pace, it will definitely take more than ten days."
"It's too slow." Lin frowned and said, "If that's the case, the blue wolf will definitely launch a sneak attack when we are weak and sleepy." ”
"Nephew Lin, what can you do?"
"I don't have a way, but I can still do it to keep you safe."
Wang Yi was silent for a moment, and suddenly said to Wang Luoyi beside him: "Xiaoyi, you go and ask Gu Tongwei and your third brother to come over." ”
"Yes, Daddy." As a woman, Wang Luoyi naturally can't meddle in these things.
Soon after Wang Luoyi left, the back canopy of the carriage was opened, and two figures poked in.
"Daddy."
"Your Excellency."
"Come in quickly, I'm looking for you to discuss."
The two of them entered the carriage one after another, and the space was originally spacious, but it became slightly congested at this time.
"My lord, what are you looking for your subordinates?"
"I have something important to tell you." Immediately, Wang Yi told them that the Wang family's team was being targeted by the wolf thief.
"Is there a good way for the two of you to avoid this crisis?"
Gu Changshou glanced at Wang Shiliang and did not speak.
However, Wang Shiliang glanced meaningfully at Lin Jingzhen, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Real person, how did you know that we were being watched?" ”
Lin was stunned for a while, how can we talk about the methods of our immortal family? Even if you say it, are you mortal willing to believe it?
"Besides, how did you know the clues that even our Gu Tongwei didn't find? And ......"
"Nonsense." Wang Yi interrupted his words and said: "He is your eldest brother's junior brother, the means of cultivating the immortal family, and the tricks of the blue wolf naturally can't hide from his eyes, besides, when the fairy aunt accepted your eldest brother as an apprentice, you also saw the immortal family's methods used by the fairy aunt." ”
"Dad, that's a clever trick, how can there be immortals in the world, how can there be immortals?"
"You kid, how can you be so rude."
"Daddy, since you think I'm so unreasonable, then I'll leave." After speaking, Wang Shiliang pushed the tent and was about to go out.
"Wait." Lin screamed at him.
"What."
"Don't you want me to prove some immortal methods for you to see?"
"Heh, some little tricks, what's there to see." Wang Shiliang smiled disdainfully.
"Okay, then I'll show you the magic magic in this world."
After Lin was stunned, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve, pinched it in his palm, said something in his mouth, and suddenly stretched out his hand to Wang Shiqi's back.
With a sound of "Peng", the two disappeared from the small canopy in an instant.
"Less, young master." Gu Changshou stretched out his hand and grabbed the place where the two disappeared, but he still found nothing, it was empty, it seemed that the two had never entered this small carriage.
"Great, sir."
"Let them toss, the methods of the immortal family are unpredictable, if the old man is still young, he will definitely be like my eldest son, give up inheriting the position of patriarch and practice the immortal method."
"Isn't cultivating that immortal family method an immortal root?"
"Yes, but who knows if the old man has a fairy root? Even if there is a fairy root and no fairy fate, it is also a dream of Nanke and a pillow of Huai'an. ”
"That's what my lord said."
"Tell me, what can you do? Can we help our royal family escape from the thieves of the wolf thieves? ”
"I didn't think of a perfect plan for a while." Gu Changshou paused and said, "However, I think that the blue wolf thief is abnormal here, and he should be instructed by someone." ”
"You mean the gang that framed us back then?"
"My lord, I really know everything."
"If that old thing does it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the old man to go to Cangzhou completely." Gu Changshou sighed.
"Didn't the adults have the help of Lin Dao?"
"Nephew Lin just told me that he can only protect a few of us at most, and we haven't had much contact with him, so I can't tell if it's my son's junior brother."
"Besides, even if he is my son's junior brother, he may not fight for the sake of a few of us unrelated mortals."
"Your Excellency mean to say, tie him to us?"
"That's exactly what I mean, but it still depends on Yi'er's skills."
"Miss is naturally beautiful, beautiful and wise, and has a gentle personality, she will definitely be able to promote beautiful things with Lin Daochang."
"I hope so." Wang Yi sighed, "It would be nice if my son was here, and the old man wouldn't have to do this kind of thing like pulling the old face and selling his daughter for glory." ”
"My lord, the word selling women for glory is not used properly."
"What's the difference?" Wang Yi sighed: "Ten years ago, we lost, if we lose this time, our Wang family will never be able to turn over......"
