Chapter 223: Stretched
"Shall we, then?"
When Tianqi said this, Aochen was curious, looked at each other, and said in unison.
"Then I'll let Su Fei take you there, he went with me once, and he knows the way. ”
"Okay, then let's go play, you can send a flare to notify me if something happens!"
Everyone walked out of the dock, enjoying the scenery completely different from Zhongzhou, and walked around for a while, only to realize that they should buy a few horses to travel, but Aochen was in too much hurry on the road, and forgot to exchange some silver tickets for the Southern Wilderness, and said quietly: "Uncle Cui, Uncle Mo, how many silver taels do you still have......?"
"I have a few hundred taels of silver and fifty taels of gold, which should be enough!"
Cui Ming only realized the problem of Zhongzhou's silver tickets not circulating in the Southern Wilderness at this time, thought about it, and said softly, Liuli saw this, and without waiting for the Mo brothers and Luo Qiuyu to speak, he preemptively said: "I have, I have a lot of silver tickets!"
Saying that, she took out a stack of silver tickets from the small pocket on her waist, and raised it proudly, she had been out for so long, and under the care of everyone along the way, she had almost no chance to spend money, and it was rare that it was her turn to be a big money.
Aochen was really embarrassed to interrupt Liuli's invitation, and said narrowly: "In the Southern Wilderness, the stack of silver tickets in your hand is no different from paper, who knows where the Southern Wilderness can be exchanged?"
"Huh?"
Liuli was stunned, but from Zhongzhou to the Southern Wilderness, such a large stack of silver tickets became waste paper?
"The Nangong family should be able to exchange it, but at most two for one, not to mention it's not cost-effective, and it's a little far from here. ”
Cui Ming has been to the Southern Wilderness a few times, and he knows a little bit about the Southern Wilderness, but he can't think of any good way.
"What then, if we buy a horse, we won't have much silver left?"
Liuli's eyes widened, and swept over everyone, it is inconvenient to carry the silver two with you, and everyone is afraid that there are not many of them, how can you play if you have no money?
Aochen shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be serious: "What can I do? It's hard to move an inch without money, so we can only go to the arts, and Uncle Cui will sell words to make money!"
"Don't, it's embarrassing!"
Liuli and Yu'er thought that Aochen was telling the truth, and they objected without thinking about it, and ran from Zhongzhou to the Southern Wilderness to make money, so they would rather turn around and go back to the dock than play.
Su Fei saw that Aochen and the others were worried about the problem of silver taels, and when he heard Aochen's joke, he said very politely: "Why don't I go back to the young master and ask for some?" I remember that the young master has exchanged some silver tickets for the Southern Wilderness!"
"Okay, then be careful, we'll be waiting for you in the front tea house. ”
Aochen nodded and agreed, with his friendship with Tianqi, there was no need to be polite for this money.
"Brother Chen, let's go to the front for a walk, those wood carvings on the stall seem to be very interesting. ”
"Take Po and King Kong with you, don't run too far!"
Liuli nodded busily, she was not interested in drinking tea at all, and ran to the market at the end of the street with Yu'er and Bihan with great interest, where there were many stalls, very lively.
As soon as Liuli ran away, the Mo brothers cautiously prepared to follow, but they were stopped by Aochen, these two peerless swordsmen were bodyguards, and they all felt aggrieved when they looked at them.
"Uncle Cui, there are Po and King Kong here, it's okay, let them play!"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
Aochen nodded solemnly, if you really want to be a master that Ah Bao and King Kong can't deal with, I'm afraid you won't be able to get along with these little girls, right?
"Boss, make us a pot of tea!"
"Okay, wait a minute, a few guest officers!"
The tea house is very simple, just set up a small shed, a few tables and chairs, and the tea is not a good tea, but everyone doesn't care, it was originally to kill time.
Aochen drank a cup of tea, looked at the pedestrians on the street, and said casually: "The people of the Southern Wilderness seem to be different from the people of Zhongzhou? The people of Zhongzhou walk with their heads up, and most of them seem to be low? The clothes they wear are not as good as those in Zhongzhou." ”
Cui Ming nodded lightly and explained: "The climate of Zhongzhou is better than that of the Southern Wilderness, the four seasons are like spring, but the resources of the Southern Wilderness are also richer than those of Zhongzhou, which is considered to have its own advantages and disadvantages. It is difficult to break through in the short term before you start getting married and having children, so that the qualifications of the child will be better after birth. ”
"Innate qualifications, acquired growth, in fact, are a way, more heirs have more choices and opportunities, as long as you find your own way, everyone is a genius, but Zhongzhou is the birthplace of martial arts in the world, masters are like clouds, and the predecessors of Emperor Wu are the existence that people in the world can only look up to, so it gives Zhongzhou people strong self-confidence. ”
"I still think that the innate qualifications are very important, Aochen, you are highly qualified and talented, so I don't think anything, but I have seen that no matter how hard some people try, their martial arts are still making slow progress, and with the same efforts, they can only look up to others, and the road that suits them is not so easy to find, and they need to go through countless ups and downs to find it. ”
It was Mo Li, who had always been silent, who said this, and his tone was full of emotion, if it wasn't for the luck of getting the guidance of the head of the family, their brothers could only be confused with everyone.
"Yes, people with good qualifications can have many paths, but those with bad qualifications can only have one way, and once you go wrong, it will be too late to turn back. ”
Cui Ming also agreed with Mo Li's words, he had also seen countless people working hard but still unable to become masters.
“......”
Aochen looked at everyone speechlessly, and suddenly felt that he was very lucky, he had the best of everything, as long as he worked hard, he could get what he wanted, everything was so natural.
Just as everyone was chatting, Liuli and the others came back, and each of the three girls led two horses, especially Liuli and Yu'er, with a smug look on their faces.
"Brother Chen, we're amazing, aren't we? Six horses only sell for eighty taels of silver, cheap, right?"
Aochen was a little unbelievable, these horses looked well-proportioned and shiny, with strong hooves, they were all good horses? How could they be sold so cheaply, if they were to be in Zhongzhou, it would cost five hundred taels of silver, and he couldn't help but look at Cui Ming suspiciously: "Uncle Cui, is the price of the Southern Wilderness so low?"
"I don't know, I haven't been here in years!"
Out of lack of confidence in Liuli, Aochen still turned his head and asked Bihan, "Bihan, how did you buy these horses?"
"We were looking at things in the bazaar, and a man came to us and asked if we wanted to buy horses, saying that we needed money urgently, and that six horses were sold for only a hundred taels, but we only made up eighty taels, and the man kindly sold them to us. ”
Bihan calmly said how she bought the horse, she couldn't understand the quality of the horse, nor did she know the normal price of the horse, and she didn't know whether she made a profit or lost money when she bought these six horses for eighty taels.
"Okay, if you're powerful, sit down! When Su Fei comes back, we'll leave......"
Aochen didn't think there was anything suspicious when he heard this, these horses didn't look like they were sick, maybe they were really lucky, or maybe the prices in the Southern Wilderness were much lower than those in Zhongzhou.
"Yay!"
It was rare to hear Aochen praise them, and finally made meritorious contributions, Liuli and Yu'er happily slapped each other's palms, happy and happy.
"Su Fei is so slow, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"yes, that's too slow!"
After sitting down for a while, Liuli looked left and right, and never saw Su Fei come back, and couldn't help muttering, and Yu'er, who was also impatient, also echoed on the side, they were all looking forward to seeing the moonlight beach that Tianqi said earlier.
"Wait, we should be back soon. ”
"You horse thieves, you dare to sit here so openly after stealing Young Master's horse?"
Before Aochen could finish speaking, he was surrounded by six people, led by a young man in a blue brocade coat, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other five were all dressed as domestic servants, these people had more or less bruises on their faces, obviously left by a fight with someone.
"You're the horse thieves, and we bought them!"
"Yes, why do you say it's yours? Stinky scoundrel!
Liuli and Yu'er couldn't help it at first, and they exploded all of a sudden, and confronted the young master angrily.
Everyone looked at each other, realized that they might have met a scammer, sold the horse at a low price, and then found someone to pretend to be a bitter master to take the horse back, no wonder the horse was so cheap.
"I'm a scoundrel? I'm a liar? What is the identity of Young Master Ben, what do you have to deceive Young Master Ben? Good girls have started to be thieves, and they dare to bite Young Master Ben?"
Being scolded by Liuli and Yu'er like this, the young master's eyes widened, raised his right hand, put his thumb and index finger into his mouth and whistled very loudly, and among the six horses brought back, the tallest horse with a red red head immediately stood up and neighed.
"Speak politely!"
Although it is not clear whether it was Liuli who accidentally bought the stolen goods or whether these people were planning to blackmail them, the tone of this person's speech had already made Cui Ming very unhappy, and with a flick of his sleeve, a strong force slapped the six people away, and they all fell and gnawed mud.
"Good fall!"
Liuli and Yu'er immediately clapped their hands and cheered, looking like they couldn't wait to catch up and beat them again.
Aochen stepped forward, squatted down and pulled the young master up, and said, "Let's prove that you are not liars, let's talk about it, these horses are what we bought in the market in front!"
"Young Master Ben is fighting with people in the woods outside the town, and when we come out, the horse will be gone, we are looking for it by following the horse's hoof prints, many people have seen it along the way, if you don't believe it, you can ask!"
Cui Ming's extraordinary move just now made the young master realize that these people were not easy to mess with, and he couldn't help but restrain a little arrogant, but there was still a kind of stubbornness in his tone.
"I think it's a beating, right?"
Cui Ming didn't go all out just now, this young master couldn't even stand on his feet when he landed, and his martial arts were only second- or third-rate at best, even if he could have the realm of being a governor, it was estimated that it was still piled up by pills, Aochen couldn't help but teasingly, and looked at it casually, but found that a white jade pendant on the young master's waist was extremely familiar, so he took it off.
