Chapter 55: The Caravan Departs
"Ah, why did I pay?" Hearing Qing Ling's words, Yuan Fengchi was stunned and dumbfounded.
Qing Ling glanced back at him, and said as a matter of course: "You are the richest among us, if you don't pay for it, who else can there be?" Do you want to call it poor......?
accidentally blurted out, and Yuan Fengchi, who was shocked by this 'little Xianggong', was silent, and hurriedly paid the money, which also made Yun Daidai's eyes widen. Stretched out her right hand with difficulty, pointed at Qing Ling tremblingly, and covered her mouth with the other hand, "Qing ...... Spirit, you actually pedal on two boats?!"
Yuan Fengchi hurriedly made a move, blocked Yun Daidai's mouth with his folding fan, whispered 'shh-', leaned into Yun Daidai's ear and whispered a few words, at this time, Yun Daidai came back to her senses, stunned, and calmed down, as if what had just happened had not happened, and she didn't hear the 'little Xianggong' that Qing Ling and Yuan Fengchi shouted.
After negotiating with the caravan's boss, the three returned and summoned the other four companions who were waiting outside. I also heard the owner of the caravan, Jin Xiaoxiao, say that the caravan was about to leave tonight, so since he did not leave, he stayed directly in the caravan.
............
The night was dark and windy, the moon was half gone, and the town was pitch black and silent.
At this time, a caravan set off in a majestic manner.
Jin Xiaoxiao arranged a carriage for Qingling and several people, although the carriage was big enough, but it was too small for seven people to sit together. Qing Ling was very dissatisfied with this, because I was afraid that it would take three months to reach the destination along the way, how could it be convenient for them to have a carriage for seven men and women! As for the money paid, it is a guide fee and is non-refundable.
Of course, this kind of thing is unacceptable, just as Yuan Fengchi stood up and planned to use his strongest skill, Qian to serve. , was stopped by Qingling.
She said: "That's it for the time being, you pay immediately, isn't that equivalent to his way?"
Everyone is a cultivator, of course, they are not as delicate as the young master and young lady of the rich family, so it is also acceptable to ride in the carriage together. And Qingling's idea is that everyone can get along for a long time and deepen their friendship, so it was arranged by Jin Xiaoxiao.
The caravan came to the pass of the town, stayed for a moment, and then continued its departure. With the rotation of the wheels on the carriage, it was uncomfortable to sit swaying, because next to Qing Ling sat Ling Bing Attack and Yuan Feng Chi, so dangling around could not avoid colliding with the two. In order to avoid embarrassment, Yuan Fengchi wisely closed his eyes, tilted his head, and pretended to be asleep.
But the Ling Bing attack was not so easy, and under Qing Ling's intentional or unintentional contact, his cold face gradually became ruddy. Fortunately, it was a big night at this time, and almost all the people in the car were asleep, otherwise they would have thought they were hell when they saw Ling Bing's face.
Ten minutes later, the convoy left the town and headed towards the outskirts.
Two hours later, the convoy suddenly stopped, the carriage stopped shaking, Qingling opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, there was a forest on the side, and the carriage stopped outside the forest.
What is this for? Isn't it going to be a night rush? Why did you stop here?
Qing Ling was puzzled, so he was about to get out of the car to ask, but Ling Bing had already stepped out of the carriage one step earlier.
A few people in the car were sleeping lightly, but the surroundings suddenly stabilized, which also made them open their eyes one by one. After Qingling got out of the car, Yuan Fengchi, Yun Daidai, Tang Yan, and several others also got out of the car. The caravan men seemed to have become accustomed to setting up a fire in the vicinity, apparently to spend the night here. Not far away, Jin Xiaoxiao, the owner of the caravan, walked towards a few people. He walked with a kind face and a smile on his face.
When he came to a few people, he looked like a boss and said: "I have wronged everyone to rest here tonight~~Everyone has worked hard~~~" As if it was a routine explanation, Jin Xiaoxiao turned around to leave after the explanation, but was stopped by the somewhat angry Yuan Fengchi beside Qing Ling.
"Golden Fat Man, what do you mean? Could it be that you have slammed the door to this point, and set off at night to save money from the inn?" Yuan Fengchi seemed to know Jin Xiao's calculations very well, and the guess he said was not far from the truth in Qingling's ears.
Jin Xiaoxiao immediately turned around, glanced at Yuan Fengchi, looked up and down, and praised appreciatively after a while, "You kid is good, you can easily see my way of saving money." But what you say is not perfect. As he spoke, he raised his head proudly, and then continued, "Hurry while it's dark, even the toll of the town is exempted, and it is also exempt from seizure." Do you think I'm very good at this business? hahaha......"
"Hey, we paid the money, how can you let us live in the wilderness like this?!" Yun Dai Dai stood up and hugged each other, although the guide fee of one hundred taels of gold was not paid by her, it was also very distressing. Now that she found that her companions had been deceived, she couldn't wait to show the eldest lady's temper and cut down the dead fat man in front of her!
Tang Yan and Qingying didn't know what was going on, Yuan Fengchi was not the kind of stingy person, so he wouldn't say anything if he paid the money for them. Therefore, he felt that it didn't matter if he talked to his companions about spending money or not, so he had no choice but to explain it again in the face of the confusion of several people.
