Chapter 481: Grab or Buy?
After listening to the human voice from the treacherous nest spider, Yan Saburo and Chitose looked at each other:
"We met the eldest lady of the Liao family?"
"It seems that it is, this is called drowsiness, and someone comes to bring pillows. Chitose smiled and groaned, "What's the name of this eldest lady?"
"Liao Honghyun. "Tsubame Saburo has always been careful.
Now the old man of the Liao family is in prison, and the whereabouts of the little prince are unknown. Chitose sighed twice, "This surnamed Pu's official rank is not small, but he personally came to track down Liao Honghyun's whereabouts. It seems that she has some clues here. ”
"Catch up with He Xiaoyuan and talk about it. When the treacherous nest spider spoke, Yan Saburo had already unfolded his body and turned from the dense forest to the official road.
There was a rush of lightning, and a light leaked out of front of me.
At night, the suburbs are quiet, and there are few pedestrians on the road, but the post station on the official road will still light up a dead wind lantern for all travelers.
Yan Saburo ran close to the post station, pushed the door in, and said to the shopkeeper who came to greet him with a yawn: "I'll buy a horse and use it for the road." To have the best horses here. "The three horses in the pastoral area were ridden away, and he had to do something else.
The light in the "You......" store was dim, and the shopkeeper answered first, only to find that the person who came was actually a little boy, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
This kid looks like he's only twelve or thirteen years old at most, right?
The shopkeeper squinted, and his heart was full of Xiao Jiujiu. This is the attached land of Shengyi, and the post station, as a necessary passage for information exchanges, is strictly controlled by the officials. Civilians don't know the dynamics of the Heavenly Family, but the shopkeeper of the post house knows very well that Wang Ting is looking for the remnants of the Liao family and the twelve or thirteen-year-old teenagers with suspicious appearance.
The person in front of him is the same age, and he entered the store alone in the middle of the night, no matter how you look at it, he is among the suspicious looks!
He also reacted very quickly, and said with a smile: "Yes." Wait, little guest, I'll prepare the horses. ”
This post station is very small, and there are only two people to work, one in charge of personnel and the other in charge of horses. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he went to the back hall, and made up his mind to go to ventilate the news, and then delay as much as possible. After all, it can be long or short to prepare a horse, how can a layman understand?
Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him took two steps forward: "I'll pick a horse." ”
"Ah...... Come, here please. The shopkeeper was helpless, led the man to the back stable, and met the groom head-on, and immediately glanced at him.
"Boss, what's wrong with your mouth?" the groom was inexplicable, "Does the night wind blow too much cramps?"
"You're just cramping, your whole family is cramping!" The shopkeeper was angry, so there was no tacit understanding! He pointed behind him: "This little guest wants to buy a horse, you take him to pick it, pick it well!" The last three words were very strong, and he wanted to go outside to put a signal.
"Oh. The groom answered and took Yan Saburo to the back stable. Usually the shopkeeper said "pick well", which is to let him pay a high price, which he can save.
The stables are divided into two levels, with only two horses on the outer level.
The groom pointed at them and said, "Choose one of the two, do you have a fancy?"
Yan Saburo is now good at riding, and he can see at a glance that their qualifications are really ordinary, so he walked to the inside.
There were four horses tied there, of better size and color.
He had only taken two steps before the groom reached out to stop him: "Hey, that's the official's horse, you can't use it!"
The primary function of the post station is to expedite the transmission of information and information, and then to the civilian population. Therefore, the good horses raised here are first and foremost for the service officials' families, they are fed with the best food, they are taken care of with the most care, and they cannot be bought and sold.
Yan Saburo stretched out his hand, and the groom involuntarily stumbled and leaned to the side. I saw the boy walk directly to the best chestnut horse and patted its neck: "It's you." ”
"This horse is not for sale!" the groom saw that he had taken the harness himself, and quickly picked up the dry fork of the raking grass and pointed it at him, "Put it down!"
Yan Saburo smiled at him.
The shopkeeper went outside and put up the signal, and heard the sound of the horses' hooves. As soon as he turned around, a horse passed by, and it was the boy who had ridden the best horse!
He was about to start scolding, when a silver ingot smashed at him, causing him to have a pain in the shoulder.
That's a lot of silver, which can cover most of his income for half a year.
The shopkeeper was stunned, the chestnut horse had melted into the night, and even the sound of hooves was no longer heard.
That young man's riding skills are very good.
In less than a few dozen breaths, three horsemen came from the rear along the official road, rushed into the post station and asked, "What is the news?"
The official came so quickly, it was unprecedented. The shopkeeper was stunned, and found that one person in front of him had thick eyebrows and was full of heroism, and the two in the back were also strong, but they were both wearing regular clothes.
"Who are you?" the shopkeeper hesitated.
The other party stretched out his hand and showed a token: "We are the inspectors, and we are ordered to act cheaply, and when we see the news here, we are in a hurry, so I came to take a look." ”
The token he took out was black and gold, just for a moment, and the shopkeeper was about to take a closer look, and the other party had already put it away. But he was not wrong when he said "red fire", the Shengyi area is warned by red, blue and blue thunder fires, and red is the highest level, which means "100,000 urgent".
This kind of thing is classified as a secret, and ordinary people do not know about it.
Besides, this person's eyes were like torches and his momentum was powerful, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to look at him, thinking that this was definitely not a common man who was buried in oil, salt and vinegar, so he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where the chestnut horse was running: "Just now, a young man snatched the horse of my post station and went in that direction, aged twelve or thirteen, as if he was wanted by the official." ”
The man's face changed slightly, and he gestured, and the other two riders followed him in that direction.
The shopkeeper scratched his head and touched the big silver in his sleeve, feeling happy in his heart.
After half an hour, the sound of horses' hooves was heard on the official road.
This time it was much more chaotic, and it was evident that there were many people coming.
Hey, this official road seems to be particularly lively tonight, right?
The sound came far away in the night, and the shopkeeper went out to watch, and saw that the seventeen or eighteen horsemen were flying in, all of which were official uniforms.
Before the horse could stop, the leader asked, "What is the arraignment?"
It's so familiar, word for word.
The shopkeeper hurriedly told the young man about stealing the horse again.
The second time it was much smoother, and a lot of details were added, such as the young man's red lips and white teeth, he looked very delicate, and he carried a big bookcase behind him......
Of course, he didn't say a word about having a big bank in his account. At this time, he noticed a small wooden man sitting on the shoulder of one of the officials.
I've seen people walking dogs and birds, but I've never seen people walking in the wild with wooden people in the middle of the night. These uncles' hobbies are really peculiar.
Master Park asked the boy about his appearance, but instead of being angry, he was happy: "Great, we are very close." With a wave of his hand, everyone rode after him again.
With stingy ghosts to show the way, plus their mounts are even better than those in the post station, it's not difficult to catch up with each other.
The shopkeeper opened his mouth and was about to say that there was a second way of chasing soldiers before, but Master Park and his party had already pulled out their legs and left, leaving him standing on the side of the road to eat ashes.
