Chapter 50: Sikong City
The group finally stepped on the official road, and there was nothing but blood stains on the ground where the convoy was robbed.
"Grandpa Toad, is my second grandfather okay?" asked Sanssouci in a low voice to Toad.
After waiting for a while, the voice of the fire toad sounded in his mind again: "He was a little injured in the fight with the mysterious old man, but you don't have to worry, it will be fine after a while." ”
Wuwu couldn't help but speed up his pace, hoping to go to Sikong City to see Su Haoyuan as soon as possible, and beckoned Han Qingyu to let her follow.
Han Qingyu looked nervous when he looked carefree, and he didn't joke about it obediently.
Running all the way, the majestic Sikong City was in sight, and there was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the city gate, seeing the surprised expression on his face, Han Qingyu smiled, "Tu Baozi, sister will take you to see it for a long time." ”
Wu Wu remembered that when he followed the convoy, the guards joked that they wanted to go to Sikong City Mayor to see him, and this said from Han Qingyu's mouth, and Wu Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When the group came to the city gate, a team of guards from the City Lord's Mansion was checking, and the people who passed were lined up in a long line, Han Qingyu originally wanted to pass directly, but was pulled back by Wuwu and waited for the cross-examination together, which provoked Han Qingyu to can't help but scold Wuwu in his heart for being a pig's head.
"What are you doing in Sikong City?" the leader of the guard asked with a soft smile as he opened the boxes on the carriage, grabbed some gold and silver, and smiled.
"Back to my lordship, let's go to Sikong City to buy goods. A man dressed as a shopkeeper in the convoy hurriedly greeted him, and the sharp-eared monkey grinned with a face, and hurriedly untied a purple money bag from his waist and secretly handed it to the leader of the guards.
"My lord has worked tirelessly, this is a little bit of my heart, please laugh at it. ”
The leader of the guards swept his money bag, the corners of his mouth raised, and gave his subordinates a look, "Go over! ”
Going out of the city is looser than going into the city, and most of them go through the motions, but the caravans involved in transporting goods will prepare some gifts, just to save time by passing as soon as possible.
"Qingyu, do we need to prepare some money too?"
"Of course, it doesn't cost anything to go in and out of the city with Miss Ben, you just have to follow me. Han Qingyu said proudly.
After a while, they finally came to worry-free, the guard leader's gaze was just a simple glance and he crossed the worry-free, and when he saw Han Qingyu, the flesh on his face instantly twisted into a ball and squeezed out a smile, which was even more blue compared to the previous shopkeeper.
"Miss Han, why are you still lining up here? Get out of the way, let Miss Han go first" The captain of the guard turned around and kicked his men away to make way for Han Qingyu.
"This is my friend, we are together" Han Qingyu pointed to worry-free.
"I understand, your friend is my brother, how can I not worry about my brother? The captain of the guard patted Carefree on the shoulder, like a close brother.
"Okay, then let's go, in the future, when you go to my shop to buy things, you will be 20% off, just say what I said" Han Qingyu greeted worry-free and followed, and the people in line behind were all envious.
"I won't send you away, you go slowly!" The captain of the guard waited for Han Qingyu to walk away and then regained a cold face.
"How's it going?, isn't it cool to mess with me?" Han Qingyu said with a smug smile.
Worry-free glanced at Han Qingyu and didn't answer, and began to look at the city intently while walking, the huge city walls more than ten zhang high are all made of mixed yuan stone, extremely hard, the rows of guards on the wall stand straight, and the red plaque on the city tower is engraved with the three big characters of 'Sikong City', standing under the city gate, I feel my insignificance, and this comparison between Worry-free Town is indeed like a chicken to a phoenix.
"Even Sikong City is like this, I'm afraid that the Cold Absolute City is even more majestic, as one of the three major families of the Cold Absolute City, it's no wonder that we don't look down on our Su family, but so what? Sooner or later, you will know that you are wrong. ”
"What are you talking about?" Han Qingyu heard Wu Wu behind him talking to himself, turned his head and asked.
"Nothing!
"Hmph! Han Qingyu snorted angrily, but she also felt that there seemed to be a different emotion in her eyes just now.
"Qingyu, when we get to Sikong City, let's say goodbye, you go back early, don't let the family worry, I will also go to my second grandfather and them, and we will meet again during the period." Carefree said.
"Are we friends?" Han Qingyu asked with a solemn stare at him, not having the arrogant appearance just now.
"Of course we are friends, we have fought side by side, and you still owe me a roast rabbit, do you want to play tricks?" replied without hesitation, with a smile on his lips.
"This is for you, remember to play with me when you have time, you will know my family if you ask, remember to come to me, lest you say that I owe you something in the future and not pay it back." Han Qingyu threw a token to Wuwu and then turned around and ran home.
Wuwu took the token and watched Han Qingyu leave, lowered his head and played with the token that seemed to be made of ordinary wood, and put it away in his sleeve.
"Let's go, are you still reluctant? Why don't we go along?"
"Grandpa Toad, do you know where our caravan is staying?" Carefree didn't answer the fire toad's words, because Carefree knew that no matter how he answered, the fire toad would definitely still hold on to the topic, and it was better to pretend that he didn't hear it.
After the fire toad pointed out the direction, he wanted to pick up the topic just now, asking Han Qingyu's family history for a while, asking how they met for a while, and the most excessive thing was to ask them if anything indescribable had happened?
Worry-free can only be a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and even thought in his heart, "Why do these old people love gossip so much?"
When I arrived at the place where the caravan had landed, I felt that I could finally be quiet, and my ears were about to be worn out by the fire toad.
The caravan settled in Sikong City to establish a post station, which was specially used for the surrounding villages and towns such as Wufu Town, Meihua Pile, and Luzhuang to come to Sikong City to do business and settle down, and the location was remote but very quiet.
When Worry-free arrived at the post station, dozens of big men in the hall were drinking and eating meat, noisy and noisy, and they didn't even look at Worry-free, and several juniors ran around and were busy serving food and delivering wine.
Wuwu grabbed a shopkeeper who passed by and asked, "Xiao Er, is the convoy of Sanssouci Town resting here?"
"They are resting here, I don't know what the guest officer is doing to find the caravan in Sanssouci Town?"
"I'm also from Sanssouci Town, and I didn't join the caravan because I was delayed by something on the way, so please take me there. ”
The shopkeeper didn't think much about it when he saw that he was handsome, and took him to the backyard, and happened to see the guards of Sanssouci Town getting together to chat, and Sanssouci thanked the shopkeepers, and the guards greeted Sanssouci eagerly when they saw Sanssouci coming, and Sanssouci smiled and nodded in response.
When Wuwu entered the back room, he saw Yao Zheng and Su Haoyuan drinking tea, and when he saw Wuwu coming back, Su Haoyuan laughed heartily and said, "You kid, come and let me see, are there any parts missing?"
"It's not serious, I heard that you were injured, and you don't look like it at all!"
"You two talk first, I'll go to the store to inquire about the market. Yao Zheng walked out of the back room and led the town's guards out of the post station lively.
