『Volume 2: The Golden Volume』 "Xia Kexing" Chapter 16 Finding people has not been met
Out of the teahouse, the day has turned west.
Yinxia said goodbye to Gongzi Ye: "Thank you for accompanying me out to relax, I want to go back to the inn to find Brother Xiao." It's been a few days since he came out, and I'm afraid he'll be worried. ”
"Brother Xiao?" Childe thought for a moment, "Oh, it's your guard." ”
Yinxia glanced at him, "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense." Brother Xiao is not a guard, he is my savior, and he is also half of my master. ”
Childe raised his eyebrows, "Anyway, it's okay to go left and right, I'll go with you." ”
Yinxia hesitated, "That's up to you." However, you have to promise me that you must not tell Brother Xiao what I am going to do with you. And Brother Xiao is a serious person, when you see him, you don't joke. ”
Speaking from the bottom of her heart, she didn't really want to introduce Gongziye to Xiao Yin. If Xiao Yin knew that he was going to be a thief, he would definitely stop it angrily.
"Don't worry, I'm the least talker. Childe said yes.
"Hmph, you're talking nonsense right now!" With him by her side, Yinxia was actually very happy. The two talked and laughed, and they were in a rare good mood along the way. It can be said that today is the happiest day after she came to the Central Plains.
When he was about to arrive at the inn, he suddenly heard someone calling Yinxia. The two turned their heads together, but saw that the person who came was a black and thin man.
He wears a dopa on his head, a scarf, and a knife at his waist. This is a common attire of the Gaochang people, but it is particularly eye-catching in this city.
"Sabir, why are you here?" Yinxia was overjoyed and hurried to meet her.
"Serku asked me to come. I followed the signs we agreed upon until I found here. Sabir saluted her, and his iron-cast face was beaming with joy.
He spoke in the Gaochang dialect, and Yinxia naturally asked in the ethnic language, "How is the situation over there in Serku?"
Sabir didn't answer, looked at Gongzi Ye, and asked in stiff Chinese, "Who is he?"
"Oh, his name is Childe Night, and he is a business partner I just met. Yinxia introduced the two of them, "Sabir, the eagle-like warrior of my clan. ”
"Business partner?" Sabir glared at Childe Ye with obvious wariness in his eyes.
"Don't do this, Sabir. Yinxia was a little embarrassed. Sabir was shrewd and capable, but he always harbored a deep hostility towards the people of the Central Plains.
"What business does the princess do with him?" asked Sabir.
"This ......," Yinxia was suddenly asked. Although she has decided to be a thief with Childe Night, she doesn't want her clan to know.
"Xiaosheng is in the jewelry business. Childe Ye smiled, "I hope to have the opportunity to go to the princess's Yidu city to see it." ”
"Really?" said Sabir, still on guard, glaring at him.
Childe smiled brightly and said to Yinxia, "Beautiful princess, let's say goodbye." Don't forget to catch the highlight of tomorrow. With that, he nodded politely at Sabir and turned away.
It wasn't until he was far away that Sabir withdrew his wary gaze.
Pulling Yinxia back to the inn, Sabir closed the door and reminded him earnestly: "The people of the Central Plains are treacherous, princess, you must be more careful." ”
"I will. Yinxia didn't want to say more about this matter, so she asked, "You came here, did Selku have something to do with me?"
Sabir nodded and asked, "Princess, have you ever raised any money?"
"Not ...... yet," Yinxia hung her head in annoyance.
Sabir's expression darkened. After a moment of silence, he said: "Before I came, I made an agreement with Serku that if I did not release the letter eagle with the silver to him before the seventeenth of this month, they would disguise themselves as horse thieves and rob the official treasury. ”
"How can that happen!" Yinxia's heart hung in the air. Isn't the seventeenth of this month three days later?
After thinking about it, she spoke: "Didn't Xiao Yin say that my clan needs to recuperate now......
"Hmph, it's Xiao Yin again, where are the others at this critical time?" Sabir looked at him with intense dissatisfaction.
"Isn't he at the inn?" Yinxia looked around.
"Of course not. I've been waiting here for two days, and I haven't seen him at all. After a pause, Sabir wondered, "Did he leave you alone?"
"No, he quit me. He said he was going to the city to borrow money, but he probably hasn't borrowed it yet. ”
"When did this happen?"
"Four days ago. ”
Sabir snorted, "I know time is short, but I can't be seen." I wonder if he will abandon you because he is unprofitable. I'll just say that none of these Central Plains people are reliable. ”
"Sabir immediately retracts what you just said!" Yinxia jumped up, pointed at his nose and said angrily, "You know what Xiao Yin has done for us all these years, how can you say that about him? But my father and I didn't treat him as a guard at all. He has saved not only my life, but also the lives of many people, and he has done more than he promised!"
"Okay, I'm wrong. Sabir knew that he was speechless, but he was still not convinced, "Even if he really went to someone to borrow money, but he has not returned to the Central Plains for so many years, will he definitely be able to find someone? Even if he finds someone and borrows money, but the amount required is so large, who can borrow so much money from him." What if he can't borrow money?"
"Either way, I believe in him. Yinxia's eyes were firm, "Even if he can't borrow money, he will definitely come back and give me an explanation." ”
"You trust him so much, what if he never comes back?"
"Anyway, unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not let Serku be a horse thief. If we become horse thieves, our previous efforts will be wasted. If it attracts the crusade of officers and soldiers, it will be even more difficult for our clan to rise again in the future. ”
Sabir muffled, "I understand all these truths. However, Serku also said that if he can't even pass the current level, how can there be a future. Imagine the scene when the city was broken, do you want that to happen again? Putting the safety of the whole people on one person, if the king was still around, he would never do such a thing. ”
The atmosphere between the two suddenly became very solemn. The scene of the city breaking resurfaced in Yinxia's mind. The palpitations of the rest of her life, like a heavy hammer hitting the city wall, hit her heart dullly, and the Dao cracked and stretched deep.
"Got it! I'm going to raise money right now. Yinxia abruptly got up and walked out, "If I or he don't have news in three days, you can tell Jean Serku to make him a horse thief." ”
"Where are you going?" asked Sabir after him.
Yinxia turned her head proudly, "If you still think I'm a princess, just wait here." Three days later, even if Xiao Yin has no news, I will definitely bring the silver back. ”
"Yes. Sabir was forced to bow his head by her resolute gaze.
Leaving the inn, Yinxia rode straight to Junan Villa.
She gripped the reins tightly, her gaze determined, and the hesitation of a few days ago was swept away. In order to prevent her people from becoming horse thieves, let her be a thief alone!
After leaving the city, it was completely dark. When I saw the foot of the mountain in the distance, there were no pedestrians on the road.
In the past, whenever there was a difficulty, there was always Xiao Yin by his side. Now that Xiao Yin is not here, she, the princess of Gaochang Kingdom, is now the only royal family in the Gaochang clan, and she wants to prove to others that she can protect the whole clan with her own strength!
Thinking of this, she raised her voice to urge the horse. The horse seemed to sense her mood, and its four hooves were like the wind, galloping rapidly. The scenery on both sides quickly faded backwards, and the oncoming wind brought the summer heat, stirring her hair to dance in all directions.
Suddenly, a black dot appeared in the distance, and it was someone walking on the road.
"Borrowed!" shouted Yinxia as she galloped.
The man heard the voice and turned his head.
At a glance, Yinxia is a farmer with thick eyebrows and big eyes. She jerked the reins, and the horse's front hooves lifted, and the horse turned outward, and the horse was skillfully pulled by her, and jumped lightly past the man.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the big farmer to catch up, "Girl, wait a minute." You're going to find the bad luck of Junan Villa, right?"
Yinxia was stunned by what he said, turned her head and asked, "How did you know?"
"It's not hard to guess. The farmer smiled slightly, "Although all roads lead to Chang'an, this road only leads to Junan Villa." At this moment, it is getting late, and those who go up the mountain at this time are either for the sake of sleeping, or they are going to trouble the Wen family. I saw that the girl was angry, and it was probably not for the night. ”
Listening to his analysis, Yinxia couldn't help but be shocked, "Are you from Junan Villa?"
"It's not. The farmer shook his head.
"You're a friend of his family?"
"Not really. ”
"And what do you have to do with his family?"
"I don't have anything to do with his family. The farmer couldn't help but smile.
Yinxia looked at him carefully, and when she saw the saber on his waist, she suddenly realized that this person seemed to be an honest farmer, but in fact, he was also a martial arts person.
"So, when you go to Junan Villa at this time, don't you also want to go to his family?" asked Yinxia suspiciously.
"Probably not. The farmer smiled, "I'm just asking his family about something." Why should the girl trouble the Wen family?"
"Why should I tell you?" Yinxia's heart sank: she was on a horse, and the peasant man was walking on the ground, and he didn't see him running, but he walked with her. This person is actually a master of light skills! But I don't know if he is friend or foe?
The peasant man seemed to be unaware of her guard, and still smiled: "It's not interesting to walk alone." Since the two of us are on the way, we might as well chat for a while. ”
Yinxia tightened the reins of the horse and snorted coldly, "Then it depends on whether you can catch up with me." With a whistling sound, she whipped her horse. The horse neighed and sprang forward.
"Good!" the farmer replied, throwing off his stride and chasing after her.
