In the past, he was in Yicheng, and he often heard that he took medicine and went bankrupt, and there was a businessman in the west of the city who had a lot of money, and he didn't know what strange diseases he had, and he went around seeking medical advice and taking medicine.

Now the boy knows that the medicine in the world is a bottomless pit, and the asking price of this pair prescribed by Chitose is 100 taels, and he can buy a house in Yicheng casually!

It's funny to say, he used to have a meal and never a meal, and he never had more than five copper plates in his pocket, but now he has a huge sum of money that he has never had, but he is more short of money than ever!

Chitose squinted at the medicine shop, and her beautiful eyes flashed with ill intentions.

Who says you have to buy it with money?

But the boy understood, and shook the corner of her sleeve.

Chitose withdrew his sleeves and looked disgusted: "It's dirty, you haven't washed your hands after touching Ma Khan for a day!" Seeing that he was still looking at her fixedly, he had to respond to him angrily, "I know, his medicinal materials are not good, let's just let it go." ”

This kid isn't indiscriminately kind, but he's just afraid to appease the pursuers sent by the envoy so he doesn't want to make a fuss and attract attention, right?

"There is another place in the city where the medicinal herbs are better, but it is not suitable to come to the door now. She looked at the sky, "Let's go, let's go shopping and settle dinner first." ”

She had to do errands for the boy, and it was more convenient for her to appear, but when she walked down the street, the passers-by all looked at her, and two people came up to talk to her. In the end, Chitose was also annoyed, so he simply covered his face with a scarf, and then he got quiet.

The county seat is not big, and the two of them walked into the market without walking far, and sold the wolf skin by the way. The wolf had been dead for a day, and its flesh had already become soft and easy to peel.

The black wolf skin, which was good and complete, oily and smooth, without half a eyelet, was only sold for one or two or three dollars of silver.

It's so hard to make money.

So when the boy took her to eat a bowl of stewed beans for five cents, although Chitose elongated her face, she had no objection for the first time.

The soup is good, the gluten is good, and the sea bowl is bigger than her face.

The boy looked at her, curiosity flashing in his eyes. I heard that the gods don't think about food, just drinking water can live, why does she eat more fiercely than him?

Despite thinking so, he gestured for the store to add a large amount of shredded meat to Chitose noodles, scooped another spoonful of spicy seeds, and prepared to put them in his bowl.

Chitose lowered his head to eat noodles and didn't look at him, when he suddenly said, "Eating spicy hurts my throat." ”

Yes, he's going to be treated for an old ailment. The boy silently let go of the spicy man, just in time to hear the guests at the next table discussing the current situation. This small city is located in a remote area, although the internal fighting of the Liang Kingdom is fierce, but the war has not yet burned here, and many people in the south have fled here with their families.

"After more than a year of fighting, the land was deserted, and the grain was taken away. In the summer, when there is a flood, people can't survive, and we can only escape. ”

The audience is not sympathetic. A local sighed: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. In the past three or four years, the bandits of Poison Fang Mountain have gathered in the mountains and forests, killed people like hemp, and even dared to attack villages and counties. ”

The outsider said curiously: "Don't you care about the local office?"

"I want to manage it, but I can't manage it. They came and went like the wind, and when the official family received the news, the mountain bandits had already fled. The man smiled bitterly, "Their nest is in Poisonfang Mountain, which is the junction of two states and the intersection of three cities, and the official offices on either side have no jurisdiction over it." ”

The boy ate noodles silently, thinking of the gang of murderous robbers on the road, robbing the road in broad daylight and leaving no room for survival, he was really arrogant and domineering, and regarded the official family as nothing.

"If you know where the nest is, you just need to send troops to encircle and suppress it. ”

"How can it be so light?" the people in the city shook their heads, "Poison Fang Mountain is known as a hundred thousand mountains, even if thousands of people hide in the mountain, no one can chase them." The most terrible thing is that there are clouds and fog all year round, and there are often poisonous miasma, and the official office has sent troops to suppress it twice, and it has broken most of the manpower. The family of the deceased made a big fuss in court, and the officials did not dare to mobilize easily to suppress it. ”

Those who heard it were only unbelievable. The mountain bandits fought against the officials, but the latter suffered a big loss, which is really a strange news in the world.

As he was talking, there was a thunderous sound of hooves not far away, coming here.

Soon, three fast horses appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the knights were all dressed in blue and red.

The boy glanced at it, his face changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head

That's an official errand.

There was also a red feather stuck in the horse's head, indicating that they were performing official duties in a hurry. The three of them rode their horses through the downtown area, shouting to remind passers-by: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the public is on an errand!"

This noodle stall is right down the street. In the blink of an eye, the three horsemen rushed to the front.

The boy's left hand clenched into a fist under the table, and the other party was so quick to move his hands and feet.

Chitose turned a blind eye, picked up a few noodles as usual, and blew gently.

Her movements were not hurried, and the boy's restless heart also calmed down. yes, what's the big deal, it's a big deal to kill and run away!

Just as he was in the middle of his thoughts, the three horsemen crossed the stall and galloped forward without stopping.

The boy quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Chitose, her face was as usual, and she didn't take the danger to heart at all.

The muddy water splashed by the horse's hooves fell on the clothes of the others, and while the unlucky man complained, the others were also whispering: "These poor masters are very good, I'm afraid they are foreign." ”

"Look at the direction they are going, it seems to be an official office. ”

"Go to the government office, it's getting dark!"

"If people want to deliver 100,000 urgent official duties, what day and night are they divided into?"

Someone said optimistically: "Isn't it here to suppress bandits?"

Regardless of what the others said, the boy pulled the last noodle chop into his mouth and quickly stood up to settle the bill.

Chitose followed him, and when he walked to a no-man's land, he whispered: "Even if those officials don't arrest you now, I'm afraid they are here for you, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." ”

The boy nodded.

All three horsemen were foreigners, and they entered through the south gate and went to the official office on the north. Well, Yicheng is just south of Pinggu County, so there is a high probability that these officials will set off from Yicheng and rush here, and the order will be in place before it gets completely dark.

What are the 100,000 urgent tasks that must be explained as soon as possible?

Naturally, it was the task on the shoulders of the appeasement envoy. It is the norm for mountain bandits to wreak havoc in the local area, so how can it be urgent?

The pursuers caught up so quickly.

I'm afraid that early tomorrow morning, Pinggu County will also be like Yicheng, and the whole territory will search for an eight-year-old mute.

The boy and Chitose looked at each other, and they didn't feel good. The pacification envoy didn't know that he was in Pinggu County, so he could only adopt the strategy of casting a wide net, and I was afraid that the nearby towns and cities would be sent by him to give orders. How much manpower and material resources will it take? The scale of the mobilization alone shows his determination to obtain the treasure in the boy's hands.
